Court availability and bookings
Courts are available for booking by Squash members between 8.00am and 10.00pm – 7 days per week subject to team games, club nights, tournaments and junior coaching. Courts can be booked in the Club House and remotely via the online booking system, for 40 minutes sessions.
On line bookings and procedures
Court Booking and Cancellation – Remote
Courts can be booked from any PC connected to the internet. The booking site is available via this link Court Booking System
http://knowleanddorridge.clubsolution.co.uk/proc_intro.aspIn the Menu section "Select option", left mouse click on "Log in". Enter your member ID and PIN code and click on "Log in". Today's court bookings will be shown; altering the date will show that day's bookings. In the Menu section "Timetables" you can view the daily or weekly bookings.
On a daily timetable, click on the available court that you wish to book. You can enter your opponent's ID if you wish; this can be found under "Find opponent". If they have enabled their e-mail option they will receive an e-mail advising of this booking. "Confirm booking" will then return the web page to the daily sheet, with your new booking shown.
To cancel a court, follow this procedure until selecting "Delete", not "Confirm booking".
Before exiting the booking site select "Log out" from the bottom of the Menu section.
Court Booking and Cancellation – Clubhouse
The clubhouse PC is activated by touching the screen, which at first touch will show today's booking sheet. Follow the above procedures after logging in.
Checking In at the Clubhouse before play
The court lighting will be activated by checking in at the clubhouse before play. This is done by the "court booker" simply logging in up to 60 minutes before the court start time. At the time of the next lighting update, a small icon of a light bulb switching on (turning yellow) at the bottom right of the screen will be seen.
If the court booker has successfully checked in, the court lighting will come on 5 minutes before the court start time and will switch off 55 minutes later i.e. 10 minutes after the 40 minute court time has ended. Depressing a push-button switch mounted outside each court will activate the lights for an additional 10 minute period if the following court time has not already been booked and extra time is needed.
Additional Functions Available
There are many additional functions available with the system that we have installed, only some of which are currently operable at Knowle & Dorridge Racquets Club. You will notice that the System Administrator will have advance access to courts so that club nights, matches and coaching may be booked before the normal booking rules allow. Those features most likely to be of general interest are:
– "Member information"; gives certain membership details and enables you to select the "Would like to receive booking confirmation by e-mail" option
– "Your bookings" shows a summary of your booking situation
– "Member list" enables you to look up other member's ID, address, etc.
This system should prove relatively reliable and simple for members to operate. However, in the event of your needing assistance or wanting to report a fault you should contact our System Administrator, Laurie Goldsworthy (771144) or his assistant Judy Turner (0121 242 1250).
Squash and Racketball court booking rules
The court lighting is controlled by the Online Booking System. This requires the member who booked the court to check in at the clubhouse before going down to the courts. The rules, as defined by the S&R Committee, are set out below.
Courts may be booked for 40 minute periods between the hours of 8.00am and 10.00pm every day. The booking rules apply equally to those booking remotely and at the clubhouse.
Court No.1 – White
Can be booked as from 12.01am for the whole of the day 2 weeks ahead, and for any day sooner i.e. on a Wednesday at 12.01am all white courts 2 weeks on Wednesday become available for booking. This rolls forward on a daily basis.
Court No.2 – Pink
Can be booked as from 12.01am for the whole of the day 2 days ahead, and for any day sooner i.e. on a Wednesday at 12.01am all pink courts on that Friday become available for booking. This rolls forward on a daily basis.
Peak Times
Peak time rules apply on Monday to Thursday in the period 6.00pm – 9.20pm i.e. 5 periods per night for 4 days per week. A member will only be able to book 1 peak time court in a 7 day period on Court 1 until a court has been available for 7 days. Members should not arrange to play on 2 consecutive court sessions during peak periods on either court.
Cancellations and No Shows
Cancellations should be made at least 48 hours before court time. Any cancellations after this, and no shows, will be recorded in the system unless the court is subsequently utilised by another member. A 'no show' is registered 10 minutes after the booked court start time. Three late cancellations and/or no shows will automatically result in the Member losing "booking rights" through the system.
Any Member who finds that they have lost booking rights will need to contact a member of the S&R Committee to arrange for their reinstatement. The Committee accepts that there are some occasions when a late cancellation cannot be avoided and it intends to review this situation and reset the system periodically.

The company, founded in June 2015, has teamed up with leading beverage providers like Starbucks and Cafe Coffee Day at a store-manager level.
"Currently, we have tied up with big brands at store-manager level, but now its time for us to go big. We are looking forward to an exponential growth within the next one year with presence in almost every metro in the country," ThirstKart founder Rahul Pabreja told PTI.
The company is currently present in Mumbai and will foray within a month into Gurgaon, where it is looking for providing beverages to corporate clients, Pabreja said.
"The demand in this segment is huge and being the only player in this beverage delivery market is attracting investors," Pabreja said, adding that the start-up is planning to raise $ 10 million in the next one year.
He further said that the business is growing at a pace of 30 per cent per month, and the company is already in talks with a number of big venture capital funds which has helped start-ups grow to multi-billion dollar companies and "I think something will be finalised soon."
At present, ThirstKart serves around hundred drinks and Pabreja said that the company will be able take the number to around 700 within the next 8-9 months.
"We are introducing a special feature on our app which will enable a customer to pre-order a drink for a desired time. Suppose I want a strawberry shake for breakfast at 8 am, I will be able to order it a night before and it will be on my table the next morning at 8," he said.

Sarah Silverman applauds sister's arrest for religious protest in Israel
Sarah Silverman isn't the only rule-breaking badass in her family. It turns out her older sister Susan, a rabbi in Jerusalem, loves to stir the pot as well— if only for a good cause.
Silverman's sister – as well as Susan's teenage daughter — was arrested today in Jerusalem at the Western Wall as she joined a prayerful protest against conservative Jewish law that demands women not wear the same religious garb as Orthodox men as well as discourages women from reading the Torah aloud at the sacred spot.
"SO proud of my amazing sister @rabbisusan and niece @purplelettuce95 for their ballsout civil disobedience," Sarah tweeted and posted to her Facebook wall today. "Ur the tits!" The photo below shows Susan and daughter Hallel being confronted by an Israeli police officer, ironically a woman.
"I was proud to take a stand for something I believe in. There is inequality at the Western Wall," Hallel Silverman told the Daily News. "The space allowed for women is becoming smaller and smaller. If the law is changed, I will be proud to have played a small part. … The rules are outdated. It's 2013 and we've moved on. It's time the law moved on too."
In her tweet, Sarah used the hashtag #WomenOfTheWall, a group headed by Anat Hoffman, who's been organizing this protest for 25 years and who, herself, has been arrested many times before. "This is just attrition," Hoffman told the Associated Press. "They want the group to become frightened."
In the latest brush with the law, Susan and her daughter who were there as part of Women of the Wall, were two of 10 women arrested, detained and then released after a few hours.

Running around with scissors
If you are familiar with the metaphor, you'll follow along just fine. If you are not, well… Make of it what you will.
The atmosphere in which the Occult is discussed can be the comfortable sitting rooms of the Occultist, or the chaos of a Dilapidated Victorian house and its tenants. Choose your atmosphere wisely. I fare just fine in any environment, but I'm often contacted by Occultists that seek me out to express their frustrations.
The reality of the Occult today is that it has been some sort of trendy hipster way of life lived by Occultniks. They have no real love for knowledge or ascension. They want to feel like special snowflakes with super-powers. If you are an authentic Occultist, then you know how to spot them. If you are an Occultnik, I'm sure you are ready to project your emotionality all over my blog. Save it. You ain't selling cupcakes here. Don't palm my hand with shit and call it a cupcake, I know better.
The authentic Occultist may grow frustrated and completely disenchanted with conversing with other Occultists. It happens. There are very few Occultists worth their weight in salt that offer any inspiration or stimulation. The authentic Occultist really doesn't have an issue with a solitary existence.
We are social animals, I get it. The idea that the Occultist needs to socialize with other Occultists usually stems from that lust for knowledge. It's a romance understood by the few. It doesn't mean that in seeking Occult 'friendlies' that you'll get what you are after. In essence, you are setting yourself up for disappointment, and resentment.
If you find yourself frustrated, disappointed and resentful towards Occultniks then now is a time for introspect. Let's face it, this is about you, and not about the inept running around with scissors. You can either relax in your sitting rooms or rot in the dilapidated state of the Occult. An authentic Occultist will fare just fine.
Maybe this blog will serve as a useful reminder: Become what you are.

Sodium Bicarbonate (IUPAC name: sodium hydrogen carbonate) is a chemical compound with the formula NaHCO3. It is a salt composed of sodium ions and bicarbonate ions. Sodium bicarbonate is a white solid that is crystalline but often appears as a fine powder. It has a slightly salty, alkaline taste resembling that of washing soda (sodium carbonate). The natural mineral form is nahcolite. It is a component of the mineral natron and is found dissolved in many mineral springs. It is among the Food Additives encoded by the European Union, identified as E 500. Since it has long been known and is widely used, the salt has many related names such as baking soda, bread soda, cooking soda, and bicarbonate of soda. In colloquial usage, the names sodium bicarbonate and bicarbonate of soda are often truncated. Forms such as sodium bicarb, bicarb soda, bicarbonate, bicarb, or even bica are common. The word saleratus, from Latin sal æratus meaning "aerated salt", was widely used in the 19th century for both sodium bicarbonate and Potassium Bicarbonate.

Why did Schubert fall in love with Countess Karoline Esterhazy?
Click on the video to hear the most moving scene of this film, when MARTA EGGERTH in the role of Karoline,
is puzzling the surprised music teacher – Franz Schubert –
with a perfect rendition of his composition "Leise flehen meine Lieder" .
At the BELLARIA CINEMA in Vienna the Austrian film "Leise flehen meine Lieder", "Gently my songs entreat", is on regularly. I had the special chance to see it today and share my impressions here with you. No doubt, Vienna is the legendary CITY OF MUSIC. The history of music is all around us, explore it and you will find many treasures, ready to be picked up by you.
From the scene at the Palais Kinsky in Vienna, where the tragical encounter of Schubert with Karoline happens
– the first (film) chapter of a love that would never come true –
A Schubertiade Concert in Vienna, with Schubert at the piano and Karoline Esterhazy in the painting on the wall behind. In the film she interrupts Schubert`s important concert at the Palais Kinsky with an outbursting laugh. Ruining his dawning career she convinces her father, the Count of Esterhazy, to invite Schubert to Hungary to become her music teacher.
The following screen-shots of the Schubert film have been on display during the past sixty years at the Bellaria Cinema in Vienna whenever the film was shown. Covered with the beautiful patina of history I want to leave them unedited for you to enjoy them as they are.
Schubert as school teacher in Vienna, coming up with the tune of "Heidenröslein" while teaching multiplication tables.
Karoline Esterhazy at a dance floor in Hungary, mingling with the common people in the village for a dance with Schubert.
Karoline and Schubert getting closer.
Before the Kiss.
Unhappy End: Karoline is being married to Count Karl Folliott de Crenneville-Poutet.
The film ends and we are gradually taken back into our times while passing through the hall of the Bellaria Cinema.
I learn the meaning of the letters over the small door: WVH Werbung Vorschau Hauptfilm – it is the German abbreviation for Newsreel – Movie Preview – Main Film, the letter would light up as a guide for the movie staff to decide if late comers could still be allowed in.
Foto on display in the entrance hall at the Bellaria Cinema Vienna, signed by Marta in 1992, when she came to see her own movie.
The Esterhazy family has published the historical facts about Countess Karoline Esterházy de Galántha (1811-1844), who went down in history for being Schubert's piano pupil. He taught her during the summers of 1818 and 1824. During that time Schubert composed several piano duos "à quatre mains" where the players' hands have to cross over each other's frequently. For the love stricken Schubert a way of touching her hands. He dedicated several compositions to her, among others the "Swan-song", a collection of romantic pieces D.957, such as the famous "Serenade", in German "Ständchen", also titled "Leise flehen meine Lieder"-"Gently my songs entreat" – which is also the title of this film. You may wish to scroll back up to listen to the song once more on the top of this page. +

The rumors were true. Uber's made the leap from the smartphone in your pocket to the wallet in, well, your other pocket.
The ride-hailing company teamed up with Barclays, the credit card division of UK-based Barclays PLC, to launch an excellent no-fee rewards credit card for millennials, urbanites and business travelers alike. The new offering, dubbed the Uber Visa Card, became available nationwide Nov. 2, 2017.
Uber's first branded credit card lets cardholders earn 4% back on dining, 3% on hotels and airfare, 2% on online purchases including Uber, online shopping and video and music streaming services, and 1% on most everything else. Individually, the bonus categories are similar to those of a few existing no-fee cards with special category bonuses. But the Uber Visa Card's 4-3-2-1 cashback rewards structure makes it a leading bonus category rewards credit card.
And that 4% cashback bonus makes the Uber Visa Card a leader in dining rewards.
Heavy Uber-app users need look no further for a cashback offering. However, to get the best bang for their buck, they should pair the Uber Visa Card with a flat-rate 2% cashback card such as the Citi® Double Cash Card – 18 month BT offer* (Earn 2% cash back on purchases: 1% when you buy plus 1% as you pay.) or PayPal Cashback Mastercard®.
The information related to Uber Visa Card has been independently collected by MagnifyMoney and has not been reviewed or provided by the issuer of this card prior to publication.
Uber Visa Card
- Regular Purchase APR
- 17.24% - 27.99% Variable
- Annual fee
- $0
- Rewards Rate
- 5% back in Uber Cash on Uber, Uber Eats, and JUMP, 3% back in Uber Cash on dining, hotels, and airfare and 1% back in Uber Cash on all other purchases
Part I: Card benefits at a glance
The Uber Visa Card boasts an impressive 4-3-2-1 rewards program, as described above, in addition to other bonuses. But those aren't the only perks this car packs. The company is clearly making a play for millennials, with unique benefits such as account credits for digital subscription services (a la Netflix or Hulu) and mobile phone protection.
With its rewards package, the Uber Visa Card could act as bait to convince some millennials to use credit more often. (Recent research shows this generation favors debit and cash for everyday purchases.)
Cashback rewards
The pros
The cons
High rewards for no fee
The Uber Visa Card grants consumers comparatively lucrative ongoing-bonus-category rewards for no annual fee, and the card charges no foreign transaction fees. That's rare, even in a market where banks are spending more and more on credit rewards to attract consumers.
The card that comes closest to offering a similar level of bonus rewards is the Chase Sapphire Reserve®*. It earns users an annual $300 travel credit, unlimited triple points on dining and travel, and 1% back on all other purchases. But it charges a hefty $550 annual fee.
If you don't have an extra $550 in your budget but still want to earn big on dining and travel, the no-fee Uber Visa Card may be the better choice.
Chase Sapphire Reserve® altered one cardholder perk in January – the lucrative 100,000-point-bonus signup offer. After less than a year on the market, Chase cut back a 100,000-point Ultimate Rewards bonus after spending $4,000 within three months to just Earn 50,000 bonus points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.
An Uber spokesperson tells MagnifyMoney that the Uber Visa Card's rewards are not temporary, and there are no plans afoot to change them.
It's important to note the Chase Sapphire Reserve® does offer other traveler perks, such as $300 in statement credits for travel reimbursements per year, a $100 statement credit for applying for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck, and several travel protection benefits. If you use those perks, it may be worth it to you to pay the beefy annual fee for the Chase Sapphire Reserve®.
4% cash back on dining
The Uber Visa Card awards a whopping 4% unlimited cash back on dining, which includes restaurants, cafes, bars and even takeout like UberEATS. The category's cashback rate leads the industry, beating the AARP® Credit Card from Chase Bank and Costco Anywhere Visa® Card by Citi*, which award only 3% cash back on dining.
The Uber Visa Card also beats the Chase Sapphire Reserve®'s points racked up for dining charges.
As mentioned, the Uber Visa Card awards 4% on takeout, too, and millennial cardholders may enjoy this perk the most. According to a recent Bureau of Labor Statistics survey, the average millennial spends about $3,416 on food away from home annually. If a cardholder spends a monthly $285 on dining, he or she will earn about $11.38 a month, or $136.56 in cash back annually.
3% cash back on hotel and airfare
Cardholders earn 3% cash back on hotel and airfare purchases made using the Uber Visa Card. Another bonus for millennials: Cash back applies to vacation home rental services, like Airbnb.
According to travel website Hipmunk, nearly three-fourths of millennial travelers have used a vacation rental service like Airbnb while traveling for work, compared to only 38% of Gen-Y and 20% of Boomers. And, about 81% of millennial travelers said they would add extra time to business trip to make some room for leisure.
While the Uber Visa Card's 3% offer on airfare and hotels is a good offer for the average frequent flyer, consumers can find the same deal with some other no-fee cards, like the AAA Member Rewards Visa and Costco Anywhere Visa® Card by Citi.
Beware: Although it offers the same amount of cash back on travel, the Chase Sapphire Reserve® technically beats out the Uber Visa Card when cardholders use their points for travel rewards.
With Uber, 1 point = $0.01, but if users redeem points using the Chase Ultimate Rewards® portal 1 point = $.015, so your points go about 50% further with Chase, allowing cardholders to purchase more with the same point value. Put another way: A 50,000-point bonus is really worth $750, instead of $500.
Up to $50 streaming credit bonus
Here's a perk you won't find on many rewards cards these days.
If a cardholder spends $5,000 or more in a cardmembership year — the 12 consecutive months following your account's anniversary date — he or she stands to earn up to $50 for digital streaming purchases. Cardholders can earn the subscription credit each year.
The $50 credit is automatically applied as a statement credit for eligible digital subscription services once the cardholder meets the $5,000 spending threshold. If the cardholder hasn't made $50 worth of eligible purchases by the time he/she spends $5,000, the result is a statement credit for any new eligible digital subscription services charged to the card up to $50.
Cardholders can track their progress toward the annual spending threshold on BarclaycardUS.com.
Up to $600 worth of mobile phone insurance coverage
When cardholders use their Uber Visa Card to pay for their monthly wireless bill, they receive up to $600 for mobile phone damage or theft for each phone listed on the wireless account. Coverage begins one month after the first bill was charged to the Uber Visa Card.
Depending on the kind of coverage a cardholder currently has through a carrier, those who take advantage of this perk could save a good chunk of money. Those under one of the four major carriers could see savings of $7 to $15 a month for a single device or up to $35 a month to cover up to three devices on one account.
There is a $25 deductible to use the protection. After that is paid, the protection covers up to $600 per claim on up to two claims in a 12-month period. If the phone has to be replaced, the protection awards the suggested retail value of the replacement phone, up to the $600 maximum per claim.
2% cash back on online purchases
The Uber Visa Card pays cardholders 2% cash back on online shopping, purchases made through Uber, video and music streaming services and online services like Instacart and TaskRabbit.
The cool thing about this perk is that cardholders can earn cash back on subscription services like Netflix, Amazon Prime and Spotify. Millennials, the leaders of the cord-cutting movement, will likely benefit by simply "setting and forgetting" their Uber Visa Card to pay for their favorite streaming services.
Update: Barclays sent cardholders an email Dec. 5 saying "using a third party payment method including PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Android Pay will now earn 2% back." Take note: Using a credit card to make a person-to-person (P2P) transfer often carries a fee of about 3% of the transaction. Be sure to review the cards terms & conditions for details.
The 2% cash back on online purchases is good, but the bonus category offer isn't a leading rate. Consumers who don't do all their shopping online could benefit more from cashback options that earn double points on all purchases, not just those made online, like the Citi® Double Cash Card – 18 month BT offer, Fidelity® Rewards Visa Signature® Card, or PayPal Cashback Mastercard®.
1% cashback on all other purchases
The Uber Visa Card still rewards spending if you don't purchase in one of the bonus categories,. The card rewards cardholders 1% back on all other purchases, so it's a good go-to card for everyday purchases, in addition to bonus-category buys. The 1% offer isn't very competitive, as there are many existing cards that offer 2% on all purchases, but it ensures cardholders earn at least a little something on everything they buy with the Uber Visa Card.
Part II: Applying for the Uber Visa Card
The Uber Visa Card opened for applications Nov. 2, 2017. Interested applicants can apply for the unsecured rewards card online or directly through the Uber phone app and see an approval within minutes. The in-app application may be more of a win for Uber than for millennials, but it makes the application process easy for anyone who already has the Uber app, so may appeal to digital natives, too.
Once the application is approved, the card is made available for use immediately on rides and UberEATS purchases made through the Uber application on the cardholder's mobile device. Cardholders should receive a physical card in the mail within 1 – 2 weeks of approval.
What it takes to qualify
Borrowers with higher credit scores are more likely to qualify for the lower interest rates, while those with lower scores are likely to qualify for the higher APR. At this time, there is not a way for applicants to check to see if they prequalify.
This card is best for …
The Uber Visa Card is best for the regular Uber customer who dines out often, frequently travels for work, handles most shopping and bill paying online, and pays his/her balance in full each month. The unsecured rewards credit card's features will likely hold the most appeal for traveling business people and city-dwelling millennials.
Consumers who spend heavily on dining, travel and online purchases would have the best shot at maximizing the Uber Visa Card's rewards offers. However, the benefit is canceled out if a user carries a balance, thanks to a high interest charge on purchases.
Uber loyalists will benefit most from Uber app-centric perks like the ability to manage and redeem point using the app, and redeem rewards for Uber Credits for Uber rides and UberEATS.
Again, millennials may reap the greatest reward here as they more likely to use ride-hailing services like Uber on a regular basis. According to Pew Research, 7% of all 18- to 29-year-olds use ride-hailing on a daily or weekly basis; that figure rises to 10% among 18- to 29-year-olds living in urban areas.
Depending on how much an Uber app user spends and how often Uber gets used.
Those who aren't frequent users of Uber's app may benefit from earning cash back on spending in the card's bonus categories, but may not realize as much value in the various app-centric perks.
Part III: Redeeming rewards
Cardholders can redeem cash back via Uber credits, gift cards, statement credit or direct deposit. Cardholders can start redeeming cash back for Uber credits once their cashback balance reaches $5, or 500 points.
As long as the account is active and in good standing, points never expire. The cashback balance must reach $25 before users can access it for gift cards, statement credit or direct deposit.
Cardholders are able to redeem rewards through the Uber app, online through the cardholder portal at BarclaycardUS.com, or by calling the customer service number on the back of the card. Cashback redemption is capped daily at $500.
If there are any authorized users on the card, they can earn and redeem points for gift cards and cash back, but not for Uber credits. Each cashback point is equivalent to $0.01 (2,500 points = $25).
How to redeem rewards for Uber credits in the Uber app
Uber lets cardholders directly manage the rewards points they've accumulated for Uber credits, gift cards or cash back through the Uber phone application. Users must first add the Uber Visa Card as a payment method.
Once the card is added, the user will tap on the Barclays mobile app menu to see a points balance. After tapping the points balance, the user should be prompted to select the amount to be redeemed.
Uber says the redemption should happen within seconds, but may take up to 24 hours to be applied to the account. The process is demonstrated in the GIF below.
Part IV: Pros and cons
What we like about the Uber Visa Card
No annual fee
The Uber Visa Card charges no annual fee, which is unusual for a card this loaded with rewards and bonuses. Cardholders can make the most of this no-fee rewards card if they charge only items that fall into the bonus rewards categories and pay the balance in full each month.
4-3-2-1 rewards perks
The Uber Visa Card awards holders a high return on most purchases. In addition, rewards are unlimited and never expire. The card's 4-3-2-1 cashback rewards program is appealing.
No foreign transaction fee
Cardholders can swipe to pay for items and services overseas without incurring foreign transaction fees. The lack of this fee combines with the 3% travel rewards bonus category to make the Uber Visa Card a good travel companion. Purchases made overseas also earn cashback rewards.
Apply directly in the Uber app
Uber's 40 million active riders won't need to rush to a computer to apply for the Uber Visa Card once the application opens Nov. 2. They can simply apply through Uber's phone application. Uber claims users will be able to submit an application and see a decision within minutes on the app. Users can also apply for the Uber Visa Card online.
Immediate access
Approved applications are granted access to the funds immediately. Users can add the card as a payment option in the Uber mobile application for immediate use on rides and UberEATS orders.
Immediate access comes in handy if an applicant is in need of the funds ASAP. But it's unclear if cardholders will be able to use the card immediately on purchases outside the Uber app, too.
Exclusive access to events and offers
Uber Visa Card users will get exclusive invites to events and offers in select U.S. cities. Uber app users may already be familiar with this perk if they have checked out Uber's Visa Locals Offers. Cardholders earn Uber credit when they visit participating stores and restaurants if they pay with a Visa card (like the Uber Visa Card). Uber's branded credit card is a Visa, so cardholders can earn rewards — like 10% Uber rewards if you shop at Whole Foods — plus the regular purchase rewards if they use the Uber Visa Card at checkout.
What to watch out for with the Uber Visa Card
$500 daily redemption limit
Cardholders can only redeem up to $500 worth of points per day on Uber Credits and cash back for a bank deposit. This may prove problematic if one wants to use points to redeem more than $500 in cash back rewards via bank deposit. There is no daily limit for cash back as a statement credit or for gift cards.
2% cash back on online purchases
2% cashback on online purchases is good, but the bonus categories offer isn't a leading rate in itself.
1% cashback on all other purchases
For all other purchases, 1% isn't a very competitive offer.
No interest-free balance transfer period
The Uber Visa Card is not a good option for anyone looking to consolidate credit card debt using a balance transfer. Unlike with the Citi® Double Cash Card – 18 month BT offer, Uber Visa Card cardholders don't pay 0% interest on balance transfers for a period. The card charges the greater of $10 or 3% of the transfer amount to transfer a balance, followed by the regular 16.24% – 24.99% variable APR the cardholder is charged on all other purchases.
Part V: Alternatives to the Uber Visa Card
Consumers who don't use Uber, don't dine out often, don't travel much or don't make most of their purchases online may not find the Uber Visa Card's cashback offer very appealing. While they can still earn a flat 1% cash back on all purchases they won't be able to benefit much from the card's bonus categories. Using a flat-rate cashback card with a higher reward, or one that offers a high cashback bonus in a category they use more often, may be beneficial to those consumers.
Flat-rate cashback alternatives
A flat-rate cashback card like the leading Citi® Double Cash Card – 18 month BT offer and PayPal Cashback Mastercard® is a great option for anyone who wants to earn a reward on all purchases without thinking about bonus categories.
The information related to Citi® Double Cash Card – 18 month BT offer has been independently collected by MagnifyMoney and has not been reviewed or provided by the issuer of this card prior to publication.
The Citi® Double Cash Card – 18 month BT offer is the second-highest no-fee flat-rate cashback credit card on the market. The card lets you Earn 2% cash back on purchases: 1% when you buy plus 1% as you pay., totalling 2% cashback. It also offers an introductory 0% for 18 months on Balance Transfers so it's a good choice for those seeking to consolidate debt. Borrowers with Excellent/Good credit scores may be approved for the Citi® Double Cash Card – 18 month BT offer.
PayPal Cashback Mastercard®
- Regular Purchase APR
- 21.49% - 28.49% Variable
- Annual fee
- $0
- Rewards Rate
- Get 2% cash back every day, every time you use your card.
Cardholders with a PayPal Cashback Mastercard® can get 2% cash back every day, every time you use your card. All for a $0 annual fee. The card charges slightly higher variable interest rates than the Uber Visa Card — 21.49% - 28.49% Variable — based on creditworthiness. Borrowers with fair, good or excellent credit scores may qualify for the PayPal Cashback Mastercard®.
Similar to the Uber Visa Card, those approved for the PayPal Cashback Mastercard® can use the card immediately to pay for purchases through PayPal's online and mobile applications. Cash back can be redeemed to the cardholder's PayPal balance. From there it can be sent to the user's bank account or used to send money to peers or make purchases via PayPal.
Fidelity® Rewards Visa Signature® Card
- Regular Purchase APR
- 15.49% Variable
- Annual fee
- $0
- Rewards Rate
- Unlimited 2% cash back on everyday purchases.
The Fidelity® Rewards Visa Signature® Card earns cardholders unlimited 2% cash back on everyday purchases. The annual fee is $0. The card is best for existing Fidelity customers, since the cashback earned has to be deposited into a Fidelity account.
Only borrowers with excellent credit should apply for this card. Fidelity also bases its credit limits on the total amount of assets it is managing on a consumer's behalf, so those approved may still be disappointed in the limit they receive if they don't have much money with Fidelity already.
Bonus category cashback alternative
The bonus categories the Uber Visa Card offers may not appeal to everyone hoping to earn cash back on the purchases they make most, therefore bonus category cashback cards can be a good alternative.

Information Access
Registered Agent Information
Information for corporate entities is obtained with the various Secretary of State agencies. Some states have corporation commissions and other varieties of information agencies.
While starting a business, you have to choose a business form. To make an informed decision, you need access to information. The business form you choose will affect the income tax return forms you'll have to file at tax time. Common business forms include: limited liability company, corporation, and S-corporation. In addition, there are sole proprietorships, partnerships and non-profits.
Registered agent service providers are designated by business entities to be responsible and available to receive legal documents and service of process. They generally are expected to be available during normal business hours, providing an alternate address for all legal mailings from the Secretary of State.
Corporations are formed when potential shareholders invest money or property for capital stock. In terms of deductions, corporations are eligible for many of the same deductions as sole proprietorships. C-corporations are viewed as a distinct entity for taxpaying purposes. Profits are taxed when they are earned, but distributions to shareholders as dividends are also taxed. This is often referred to as double taxation. S-corporations pass any profits or losses through to shareholders and avoid the double taxation issue. Corporations are formed by filing articles of incorporation.
An LLC functions like a partnership, but limits personal owner liability much like a corporation. For tax purposes, a limited liability company offers pass-through taxation similar to an S-corporation. LLCs can be member managed or manager managed, and are formed by filing articles of organization.

Provisioning Snom M9
How can I provision an m9?
To use the Vodia PBX provisioning with snom m9, you need to either list it's MAC address in the extension settings for the PBX or perform the steps shown below. MAC-based provisioning will work if both the PBX and the m9 can trust each other certificates, which should be the case when using them out-of-the box.
If the out-of-the-box does not work, a few extra steps are required:
- On the m9, under Setup-> Network-> Provisioning Server enter http://<pbx_address>/prov/snom-m9-{mac}.xml . Your phone might restart on its own, this is ok.
- Then under Setup->Security, fill in the following fields:
- HTTP Client User: <extension>@<domain_name> (for example: email@example.com)
- HTTP Client Password: the Web password of the extension that you can set in the Vodia PBX in the extension details
- HTTP Client Password (repeat): the Web password of the extension again
- Then under Setup->Security-> Certificate Policy choose option 'Don't validate certificates'. Then restart again, and then your phone should get provisioned correctly.
For provisioning the phone book to the M9, please follow the steps described here: How can I integrate the phonebook into the M9?
Note: to provision more than one handsets with different Vodia PBX extensions, prior to the provisioning you will need to enter the MAC address of the base station in the Vodia PBX web interface for each of the respective extensions (click on the Extension and then on Registration and fill in the Bind to MAC Address). Then, in the m9 interface you can choose which identity will be assigned to which handset.

Inzamam-ul-Haq said he wanted to forget the traumatic World Cup campaign which saw coach Bob Woolmer murdered and his team knocked out in the first round.
"It's been a tournament which I and millions of Pakistan supporters would like to forget, but it won't be as easy as it looks," Inzamam told AFP by telephone from Montego Bay where the Pakistan team is staying before they leave for home later Saturday. Pakistan lost their opening match to the West Indies by 54 runs before suffering the ignominy of a three-wicket defeat at the hands of debutants Ireland to crash out of the World Cup.
The following day, Woolmer died and his death has since become the subject of a murder investigation. The Pakistan team were first finger-printed and then had to provide DNA samples. Inzamam, who also announced his retirement from one-day cricket and relinquished the captaincy of the national team, said the suffering had become unbearable.
"We failed to reach the second round and lost a great mentor who was also an inspirational figure in the dressing-room. I feel Bob's loss much more than our elimination. My heart goes out to his family and I want to assure them on behalf of the team and entire nation that in this tough time we are right behind them. I will leave the Caribbean for the last time (as a player) with a very heavy heart."
Inzamam said the team was in a good frame of mind when they came to the Caribbean despite a poor build-up during which they lost key fast bowlers Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif due to fitness problems. "When I landed here, I had high hopes but things changed and became so tragic that we are still struggling to cope with them. Most of the guys are still in a state of shock and when I try to talk to them, I can see their blank faces. They are physically with me but not mentally."
Inzamam, second behind Sachin Tendulkar on the all-time one-day run list with 11,739 runs in 378 internationals, said his team was still a good side despite their early elimination. "I still believe my team was good enough but we just couldn't click. I am disappointed that we failed to live up to our supporters' expectations and also for Bob who gave his heart and soul throughout his three years as coach, hoping that we could fulfill his dream of winning the World Cup."
I haven't had a chance to think about my future because events have happened so fast. But looking back at my career, I think every match that I played was worth it. I had tough times but it came in the package, I guess. I had the honour of representing Pakistan for 16 years, the privilege of playing against some of the greatest players...
Inzamam believes Pakistan cricket can recover from the World Cup trauma. "Pakistan cricket is strong and I don't believe it is in a crisis. In fact, I believe we will get stronger from here because we have good cricketing brains to put everything back on track and we have exceptionally talented players. The current Pakistan team has all the ingredients to beat any team in the world. It's just a matter of getting our act together. Over the years, Pakistan cricket has faced several crises and every time the team has come out of it successfully. That's the beauty of Pakistan cricket."
Inzamam said he hadn't yet made plans after retirement. "I haven't had a chance to think about my future because events have happened so fast. But looking back at my career, I think every match that I played was worth it. I had tough times but it came in the package, I guess. I had the honour of representing Pakistan for 16 years, the privilege of playing against some of the greatest players, being part of the 1992 World Cup squad and most importantly the respect and appreciation of the people. I couldn't have asked for more."
Inzamam also backed the organisers to continue with the World Cup despite Woolmer's death. "The World Cup is a great event and should go on despite the tragedy because we cannot allow this sport to be held to ransom by anybody. Bob would have wanted his event to be a huge success and let's make him happy by supporting the competition."

Paul Madsen, Mike Orakpo latest to hit the CSU injury list
FORT COLLINS – Depth was the talk of the preseason and first few weeks of the regular season. Seven weeks in to the season it is being tested in a way no one imagined.
Senior tackle Paul Madsen (knee) is the latest in a long line of injuries CSU has suffered this season. Madsen, a team captain, is out for Saturday's game at Texas-El Paso and is expected to be out significant time, according to head coach Steve Fairchild.
"He will not be available Saturday," Fairchild said. "We do hope to have him back prior to the end of the year."
Madsen suffered what Fairchild called a sprained knee during the Boise State game. His initial estimation, on Saturday night, was Madsen would miss three weeks. Fairchild did say Madsen's absence would change how CSU's offense operates, specifically in the personnel groupings that can be used and some of the plays that can be run. So things are going to get tougher for an already inconsistent Rams offense without Madsen being in the mix.
Meanwhile, linebacker Mike Orakpo is questionable for this weekend's contest at Texas-El Paso due to a concussion. The sophomore will have to pass a battery of tests before he could be cleared to play in the game.
Defensive tackle Nuku Latu (knee) experienced a setback during the Boise State game. His status for Saturday is questionable, as is DT John Froland's. Froland continues to deal with an ankle injury he suffered against San Jose State. He did not play against Boise State.
"I'm never going to use the injuries as an excuse, but we've been a little up-and-down," Fairchild said. "I looked up one time and I think there were 15 guys that we would have had on the field that weren't available during (the Boise State) game. That's probably lent itself to our inconsistency."

Kylie Jenner is now getting mom-shamed over her not-so-baby-friendly $1.4 million Ferrari
Another day, another case of mommy shaming.
Just days after being slammed for taking a quick getaway to Miami with boyfriend Travis Scott without month-old daughter Stormi Webster, Kylie Jenner is fielding criticism that her new car is not baby-friendly.
The slick black Ferrari LaFerrari was a push present from Scott, who seems to have avoided most of the parent shaming. Though it's just one of many luxury vehicles in the reality star's garage — including a Range Rover and other roomy SUVs — the Batmobile-style car is raising eyebrows for not being practical enough for a new parent.
Jenner's Instagram post about the Ferrari has fetched several judgmental comments and outrage on little Stormi's behalf:
"Where's the baby's car seat gonna go?"
"How a baby seat gonna fit here???? Stupid!"
"Just stupid."
"But can it hold a car seat tho?"
"Hun how are you going to get your daughter in there?"
"Ideal for transporting a baby."
The beauty mogul and new mom will probably stick to one of her larger vehicles — or at least something with a backseat — for shuttling Stormi.

Public Meeting II Summary: Assessments
Making Sense of What We Have…
Existing Conditions Inventories and Guiding Values for Oregon State Park Planning in the Gorge.
We want to thank everyone who participated in the public meetings last week. If you were unable to attend, we encourage you to review our meeting notes below and then email, call or write in.
At last week's public meetings in the Gorge the OPRD Planning team presented existing condition inventories and shared draft values of our Oregon State Parks in the Columbia River Gorge that will guide the development of planning recommendations.
The presentations summarized a wealth of information collected by experts at OPRD over the past two years in preparation for the Gorge planning process. These inventories included studies of:
- Natural Resources
- GIS Inventory
- Forestry
- Wildlife and Habitat
- Visitor Experience Activities
- Safety and Risk Management
- Visitor Surveys and Public Input
- Park Operating Costs
- Cultural Resources
The assessments comprise one of the most comprehensive inventories ever completed for any management unit in our State Park system. In addition to assisting the park planning process, these inventories will be a valuable tool in managing our parks in the Gorge over the next decade.
To make sense of all this information, the planning team created a connectivity diagram to map park data. This scaled map of the Gorge allows us to visually compare information for each park in the context of the Gorge and display our findings at a glance to better discuss existing conditions and patterns identified throughout the Gorge.
We introduced draft guiding values that were created as a result of our initial public meetings this summer. During the August meetings and in an online survey, we asked people to describe what they valued about the Gorge. These values summarize what heard: people who live and visit the Gorge appreciate it for its scenic beauty, exciting recreation opportunities, unique natural resources, rich cultural heritage, and interconnected communities. These values will shape the strategies that we are currently developing for our parks in the Gorge.
Please download a more detailed summary of our presentation here:
Presentation Slideshow PDF (22 mb)
During the meetings we had several great discussions on a number of topics: recreation uses in the Columbia Gorge, access to parks and natural resources, economic draw for communities, park capacity, natural resource protection, universal access, and park partnerships just to name a few. The feedback we heard was extremely valuable and directly shapes the development of plan recommendations and concepts for our park properties. These concepts will be shared at our next round of meetings.

Meeting II. Assessments
OPRD is currently conducting resource assessments and visitor experience assessments for the Columbia Gorge State Parks to better understand opportunities and constraints in the management of our park system. At our second set of public meetings we will present these findings. The community members and park staff will then work together to identify the most important values, strategies, and actions needed to guide the comprehensive planning and design efforts in all of the Oregon State Parks in the Columbia River Gorge.

Here is a small collection of applications I recommend and find either very cool or useful for your HTC Touch HD or any other Windows Mobile phone. These applications will unlock hidden powers inside your phone and make it even more user friendly better looking. So here's my list, in no particular order…
FingerKeyboard 2
This great program replaces the onscreen keyboard on your touchscreen phone with one that is very handy and good looking. You can chose keyboard colors, create shortcuts and hotkeys for often used. For example you can by only one click write a smiley. Very useful, and free.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501122 (added 20090722)
Auto Call Recorder
This application allows you to record both incoming and outgoing calls and save them, either automatically or by asking every call.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536472 (added 20090722)
Change Screen
This application will rotate the screen automatically and you can configure it so exempt any program you like from certain rotations that perhaps does not support landscape mode. The program is launched at startup and is hidden from task manager.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468488 (added 20090722)
This program has an angle ruler, water level, light sensor and shock sensor that might come in handy sometimes. It seems abit buggy, especially the ruler when calibrating, but I think it's worth mentioning anyway.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=535944 (added 20090722)
15 tabs
This modification of the TouchFLO3D interface adds tabs like call history and calendar. It comes in many different languages but there might be some small issues with it, for example one cannot change the order of the tabs it seems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450278 (added 20090722)
Use HTC headset to play/pause/next song
Install this program to allow yourself to play, pause and move on to the next song in the TouchFLO3D music player by using the button on the headset.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502881 (added 20090722)
Advanced Configuration Tool
With this program you can modify alot of hidden settings in Windows Mobile that will come in very handy. This requires .NET 3.5 for Windows Mobile.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151 (added 20090722)
CorePlayer Mobile
This is probably the best media player for movies out there right now for Windows Mobile. If you watch alot of movies with your phone this application is probably worth it.

Diamond Light Saber
The famous light saber app for Windows Mobile.

Garmin Mobile XT
This is a very good GPS navigator software that works well with Windows Mobile and HTC Touch HD. Another alternative is to you the built in Google Maps if you have a flatrate deal for data traffic with your mobile.
https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=138&pID=11413 (added 20090722)
A pretty good and nice looking stop watch. The only problem is that if the phone goes into sleep mode (screen goes black), the timer will stop or significantly slow down. So if you want to time something the screen must be on, that's not good.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421812 (added 20090722)
In my opinion the best and best looking instant messaging software for your mobile phone. It can handle MSN, ICQ, Facebook, Twitter and much more. Very nice interface. For my HTC Touch HD I used the CAB-file for HTC Touch Pro, worked just fine.

More apps will be added as I find them. Feel free to enter your own suggestions in the comments.

$$, 3.5, ALCOHOL SERVING, BAR, CAFÉ, DESSERT, DOWNTOWN, featured, GASTOWN, ROMANTIC, VANCOUVER, WINE
After our dinner at Malt and Marrow in Yaletown, we walked down to Gastown to finish our meal with some nice desserts from Mosquito. It is a small, upscale dessert restaurant that serves sweet/non-sweet desserts, wine, champagne cocktails spirits and beers as well. The atmosphere was quite something. The dark blue and gold decors looked beautiful in low lighting. Although the name itself wasn't really appealing to me, I fell in love with their interiors. It would be the perfect place to end the lovely dating night. They have kind of happy hour during 5pm to 8pm although it is not exactly what it called: the dessert tapas. It is $15 for 3 dishes of your choice from the dessert tapa list, or $6 for one of the items on the list. As the name "tapa" indicates, these dishes are very tiny, similar to tasting plates so that a single person can easily finish 3 items. We had two rounds of Dessert Tapas. Our first choice was as follows: (sorry for the bad quality pictures!!)
Overall, it was a great experience trying different types of desserts that I never tried before. I wouldn't say this place had the best desserts in town in terms of taste (although everyone but me really loved their food), but they definitely have more creative desserts than other places. If you are in downtown wanting to have some special desserts I recommend this place. This may not become your regular dessert place to go on a daily basis, but can be a good alternative to end your romantic date night with.
Dessert Tapa menuPROS
+ Calm, high-end atmosphere

Unschooling with Less Burnout: Self Care for the At-Home-Parent
The hand-written sign taped to my fridge right now says: "Be kind to yourself, you're only human." Parents and kids in families like ours need a more robust self-care plan for unschooling/homeschooling/whateverschooling to be sustainable long-term.
Play Is The Core of All Learning
There is a season of childhood play that is physical and imaginative. It is a season of touching, tasting, singing, jumping, play-doh, bubbles, puddles, mud pies, sand, bugs, forts, acting out stories, helping, squishing food, favorite stories read by heart, coloring and drawing, pretending, dress-up, puppets, sticks, face paint and finger paint, and bubble baths….

sana-syria.com – Information Minister: Terrorist Escalation's Aim to Suggest Victory Is Close Will Fail
In an interview with the Syrian TV aired Thursday, al-Zoubi said this escalation, which comes in parallel with giving Syria's seat at the Arab League (AL) to the 'Doha Coalition', aims to suggest that "terrorists are attacking in the middle of the capital and that as if the state is unable to protect the civilians."
He stressed the aim to "intimidate people to drop their work and use this by the media to suggest that they are close to achieving the goals of their aggression on Syria" will definitely fail.
"The Syrian Arab Army is at its best, and the Syrian people are keen on their state as they believe in it and their morale are high," said the Minister.
He added that these attacks will not stay long and "they reflect fear rather than bravery or victory on the part of the armed groups."
He noted that Qatar and Turkey and some Arab and Western intelligence "are today throwing all their weight and bets at once behind a last desperate attempt to dismember and topple the Syrian state."
Minister al-Zoubi pointed out that the AL Summit's decision to leave the door open for any of the Arab countries which want to arm the terrorists in Syria is not new "as the arming has been going on since the beginning by countries which openly announced that."
He stressed that this decision violates the UN General Assembly resolutions and the rules of the international law which incriminate the arming operations taking place in other countries as well as the attempts at forced regime change by interfering in other countries' affairs and supporting armed groups.
Thierry Meyssan – The Syrian people are not against their government, they are defending their country from foreign invaders – interview
Muammar Gaddafi was a great statesman who fought against colonialism. But his policy was errant, which led to his loss of all serious allies.
Speaking of Bashar al-Assad, I must say that this is a leader of a completely different kind. He is very rational, is known for his remarkable composure and is consistent in his actions. Perhaps, he is somewhat lacking in intuition, but in any case, he has the qualities that fit the current situation the best way. He is the right man in the right place! Do you know that he is a revolutionary and democratic leader, which contradicts what is persistently said about him? Hugo Chavez, for example, said that Fidel remained his political ideal role model, but the ruler who was closest to him in his style of behavior and who continued Castro's work was Bashar al-Assad.
He inherited a dictatorship and in the course of a whole decade he changed it step by step. He gave education to the people, as well as the means to move to the democratic system of government. Every time he took a step forward, he was threatened. They wanted to prevent him from reforming his country. But despite the war, Bashar al-Assad continues his reforms.

sana-syria.com – Al-Jaafari: Syria Seeks Legislating Arms Trade Due to Risk Posed by Illicit Trade on Security and Peace
During the closing session of the UN conference on the arms trade treaty, al-Jaafari said that Syria objects to the current text of the treaty as it doesn't address foreign occupation, the right to self-determination of people under occupation, and the crimes of aggression, in addition to not having a clear article on the absolute ban of providing weapons to terrorist elements and groups.
Shamus Cooke – How Obama Chose War Over Peace in Syria
But Obama is so intent on war that he will not even discuss peace with the Syrian government. He has repeatedly stated that there are "preconditions" for peace negotiations, the most important one being the downfall of the Syrian government, i.e., regime change. If a toppling of a nation's government is Obama's precondition for peace, then Obama is by definition choosing war.
Never mind that Syria is a sovereign nation that should not have to worry about a foreign country making demands as to who is in power. Obama doesn't seem to think this relevant. In fact, his administration has been very busy determining who the "legitimate" government of Syria is, by hand picking the "National Coalition of Syrian Revolution," the prime minister of which is a U.S. citizen.
One of the preconditions for being on Obama's National Coalition of Syrian Revolution is that there be no peace negotiations with the Syrian government. Of course most Syrians want to immediately end the conflict in Syria, since it threatens an Iraq-like destruction of the country.
sana-syria.com – Syria Reviews with Russian and China Opportunities for Oil and Gas Exploration in Territorial Waters
In separate meetings with the two ambassadors on Thursday, al-Abbas discussed cooperation relations between the Oil Ministry and the Russian and Chinese companies in oil and gas exploration and developing existing fields to increase productivity and import of oil industry equipment.
Franklin Lamb – Has the Arab League Mortally Wounded Itself by Declaring War on Syria?
Is it now left to the BRICS states – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa to stand up to the AL and to help halt the conflict in Syria? There is growing sentiment in Syria that this group of five emerging powers may become a major hope for the Syrian people that suffer from blatant foreign interference in their affairs and suffering from the Arab League acting against their interests. The AL members who voted to expel or sanction Syria are merely channeling the geo-political interests of the United States and Israel, which are increasingly viewed among the Arab pubic as "unofficial members" of the Arab League.
This decision to supply arms to the Syrian opposition not only violates international law, but again in the words of Lavrov, "is a blatant encouragement of confrontation of the irreconcilable forces on both sides to make them fight this war to the bitter end."

This dish is incredible! Using flavours not traditionally used together, Chef Adam Mclean from Elements at the Gardens in Wagga Wagga has invented this recipe which not only has a salted caramel thing going on but the freshness of the mint and peach will leave you wanting more every time. Why not try making it for your friends and get them to guess the secret ingredient?
- 2 duck breast fillets (around 220 grams)
- 230 ml Topaque (200ml for syrup, 30ml to marinate)
- 2 tbls black tea
- 2 tbls dried rosemary
- 2 tbls dried thyme
- 1 tbls brown sugar
- Sea salt flakes and black pepper
- 600g Jap pumpkin
- 30g butter
- 1 large peach
- small salad onion
- 4 mint leaves
- 12 spears of Asparagus
To cook the duck:
- Pat dry the duck and place in a bowl. Drizzle with Topaque (30ml) and marinate for one hour
- Place duck in smoker and liberally salt the skin with good sea salt. (If you don't have a smoker it's easy to use a standard pot with a steamer pot, just line the bottom of the pot with foil to aid in cleaning).
- For your smoke mix combine equal quantities of tea, rosemary and thyme with a tablespoon of brown sugar and smoke the marinated duck on low heat on the stove until the duck is just firm when pressed in the centre.
For the pumpkin puree
- Peel and chop pumpkin into roasting sized pieces, toss in a bowl with olive oil, black pepper and sea salt. Roast in the oven at 170ºC until soft and just coloured.
- Place in food processor while still hot and process while adding butter a teaspoon at a time until puree is glossy and smooth.
For asparagus
- Chop the bottom 4cm from the stalks, then with a vegetable peeler, peel the skin from the next 4cm. To cook simply immerse in salted boiling water for 40 seconds, then toss with oil and seasoning.
For the peaches
- Add 200ml of Topaque to a saucepan with 100ml of water and 100g of sugar, on medium heat and reduce by 2/3rds until syrup consistency. Set aside.
- Cut peach in half and slice thinly, add to hot syrup and gently mix.
- Remove peaches and toss with finely sliced salad onion and mint.
To plate and present:
- Spoon 2 tablespoons of puree onto a plate and smooth into a disk with the back of the spoon, place asparagus spears in centre of plate on top of puree.
- Slice duck breast into 5mm slices and place on asparagus slightly fanned. Arrange peach salad on top of the duck.
- Drizzle peaches and plate with reserved syrup

The Bulgarian player many people suspect of cheating in tournaments over the past year — though the accusations have never been proved — has been suspended from playing for four months by his national federation.
The player, Borislav Ivanov, was punished after he did not show up for a Bulgarian Chess Federation test of his skills at the board. The federation, which said most of Ivanov's moves in recent tournaments had matched those of the leading computer chess programs, also wanted him to take a polygraph test.
Ivanov has been a controversial figure among Bulgarian chess players, many of whom have been boycotting tournaments in which he participated.
In his last tournament, in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria, in early May, the organizers changed the rules to deny a prize to any competitors who won three or more games because their opponents refused to play. Three of Ivanov's opponents forfeited, and although he finished at the top of the standings, he went home empty-handed.
Ivanov has received the most attention as chess federation officials around the world have focused on cheating, but the crackdown continues, involving even the youngest of players. Last month, a 12-year-old Russian was expelled from a tournament in Bulgaria when he was discovered using a computer program on his cellphone during a game.
Part of what has convinced top players that Ivanov, a master, was cheating was the way he behaved at the board. Axel Rombaldoni, who became a grandmaster just after the tournament in Veliko Tarnovo, lost there to Ivanov in Round 7. In an interview published on Chessbase.com, he said he knew of Ivanov's reputation but did not want to forfeit.
Rombaldoni said Ivanov played quickly and did not seem to take much time to think. Kiril Georgiev, this year's Bulgarian champion, also mentioned Ivanov's speed after he lost to him in April at the Second Memorial Bogomil Andonov tournament in Kyustendil, Bulgaria.
"From the start of our game until the very end, it was obvious to me that Ivanov was not behaving as a chess player usually does," Rombaldoni said. "He was looking at the board, the clock, his score sheet, but he never calculated moves and variations."
Rombaldoni said that Ivanov's eighth move was unusual, but that it was the top choice of computer programs he consulted after the game.
After his 16th move, Rombaldoni offered Ivanov a draw. "He said nothing, but just made a face, as if suggesting that it was completely winning for him and my draw offer was unreasonable," Rombaldoni said.
"I believe that it is possible for a very strong player to match top engine moves at a high rate in one, two or even three separate games," he said. "But it's impossible in every single game."
