text: On Wednesday 6th June, Joskin was present in Karup, Denmark, to take part in the Græsland 2018 edition. On more than 80 ha with various exhibition and demonstration areas, this local grass day is indeed a major event in Northern Europe's agricultural agenda. During this day, a demonstration of our Drakkar was ensured. Just like the Betimax RDS, Trans-CAP and Silo-Space on our stand, the Drakkar was very successful among the visitors.

Within cloud forest, quaint treehouse, great teatimeMy husband, our teenage son and I spent two nights at this magnificent property which is nestled outside of town within the cloud forest canopy.
Amongst the 4 treehouse chalets and three rooms in the main house we chose the Eden Treehouse Chalet which has a living room with kitchen facilities, a half bath and a balcony upstairs and a bedroom with a king size bed and a "fantasy" bathroom featuring a private jacuzzi in some kind of winter garden and a stone waterfall shower downstairs. We were quite impressed by the well-appointed accommodation amidst the cloud forest. The negative points were only the high humidity (there is a dehumidifier in the bedroom) and the beds. The pull-out bed in the living room was much too soft (our son slept the second night on the sofa) and the adults' bed was comfortable, but the mattress had a synthetic cover which didn't contribute to a good sleep quality. Anyway, these were the only drawbacks I can think of when judging this beautiful boutique hotel.
There are well-kept gardens and a trail around the vast property where you are accompanied by the owner's dogs when making the tour. In the main house there is a guest lounge with large windows where you have sweeping views of the
By the way, the guided walk with Koki in the Curi-Cancha reserve shouldn't be missed as this very knowledgeable guide is able to communicate with birds, amazing! Monteverde area doesn't seem to have many luxurious hotels, so therefore the Hidden Canopy Treehouse Hotel is certainly the right choice for demanding travelers.
Date of stay: April 2012

Draft legislation published on Monday goes some way to address concerns raised during the consultation process. Importantly, the provisions have been limited to circumstances where there are abusive tax arrangements which are defeated. Whether there are abusive tax arrangements is determined in accordance with the familiar GAAR criteria, under FA 2013. For some reason the … Continue reading Penalties for tax avoidance enablers – Finance Bill provisions
In the Autumn Statement, the Government confirmed that it would remove the tax advantages of salary sacrifice for arrangements put in place after April 2017. Certain benefits provided through salary sacrifice (accommodation, cars and school fees) will be protected until 2021 and other benefits can still benefit from tax savings indefinitely (pensions, cycles, childcare, certain … Continue reading Salary sacrifice draft legislation now published
As expected, HMRC has published its response to the consultation on the remote gaming duty ("RGD") treatment of "freeplays". You can find it here. It has also published draft legislation (as part of the draft Finance Bill 2017) imposing the new RGD charge on freeplays, which has been amended as a result of the consultation (the … Continue reading Details of remote gaming duty charge on "freeplays"
The Chancellor has confirmed that certain previously announced corporation tax measures will be going ahead. Additionally, he also announced a consultation on bringing non-UK resident companies with UK income (e.g. offshore companies carrying on a property business in the UK), which are currently subject to income tax on such income, within the scope of corporation … Continue reading CORPORATION TAX CHANGES – UPDATE
Today's Autumn Statement confirms that the sweeping changes to the taxation of non-UK domiciliaries ("non-doms") which are due to take effect in April 2017 remain on track. Further details and legislation on these proposals will be released on 5 December. Individuals will then have just a few months to plan and execute any restructuring which … Continue reading Non-doms
The Finance Bill will include sanctions for enablers of tax avoidance. If the August 2016 consultation is a guide then this refers not merely to those who design, promote and market avoidance – but everyone in the supply chain who benefits from an end user implementing avoidance arrangements and without whom such arrangements could not … Continue reading Penalties for tax avoidance enablers
The ability to offer tax-favoured employee shareholder shares or ESS, until recently very common in private equity company arrangements, has been withdrawn with almost immediate effect. The only ESS arrangements that can now be completed are those where the independent advice has been given in which case the relevant employee shareholder agreement must be entered … Continue reading No more ESS arrangements possible

Funny. On stage usually "red" is reserved for "stage right", probably because of the same first letter. Stage-left is not nearly as consistent in coloring.
Does this vessel make wide left turns or something? ;-)
Left and right
I'm sure most people could use "port" and "starboard" labels instead. ;)

California taxpayers receive less federal funding per dollar of federal taxes paid than the average state. In 2005, California taxpayers received only 78 cents in federal expenditures for every dollar in federal taxes sent to Washington DC. (source - LINK) Mississippi, for example, takes $2.02 for every dollar they pay pay in federal taxes. New Mexico takes $2.03 for every dollar they pay in federal taxes. Therefore, California is referred to as a donor state because they give more than they get. (The highest donor state is New Jersey). The District of Columbia isn't a state, but it takes $5.55 for every dollar it contributes.
As contemptible as some California politicians seem to be (Gov. Jerry Brown and Sen. Barbara Boxer being some of the most notorious), the state's bankruptcy would increase the federal deficit because California would no longer be a donor state. Taken as a world economy, if California was a nation on its own, it would be the eighth largest. Is is the largest of any US State, even though it is clearly a state in decline. (source - LINK) California's GDP is roughly equal to France.
State Bankruptcy would mean that all California's revenue would be kept inside the state and used to bring it's financial house into order. Those outside California who gleefully hope for its demise might want to think twice because it would benefit that state at the expense of the other states.
I am not suggesting that California is too big to fail. I am suggesting that if it fails, and reorganizes, it will become stronger at the expense of the rest of the country.

Brandon Marshall, Danny Trevathan named Broncos' 2015 Ed Block Courage Award winners
Inside linebackers Danny Trevathan and Brandon Marshall were selected by their teammates as the Broncos' 2015 Ed Block Courage Award winners for their "commitment to sportsmanship and courage."
The two overcame significant injuries that required surgery to return as the team's No. 1 and No. 2 leading tacklers, respectively.
Marshall had two screws placed in his right foot after a Lisfranc injury. He finished with 101 total tackles (76 solo) to go along with 1.5 sacks, nine tackles for loss, three quarterback hits, four pass breakups and two forced fumbles.
"I almost thought, just because of how much pain that I was in, I didn't know if I would make it through the whole season," Marshall said. "I was like, 'Man, I don't know if I'll make it through the whole season.' I was in a lot of pain up until probably the second or third week of the season. For some reason it subsided and I was grateful for that. I kind of didn't know if I would make it through. It hurt running on it, you know what I mean? I'm just glad that it subsided and everything is good."
Marshall was earlier named the Broncos' Darrent Williams Good Guy Award winner, as voted by the Denver chapter of the Pro Football Writers of America.
Trevathan, who missed significant time last season because of three left leg injuries, underwent reconstructive knee surgery. He returned this season to record a team-high 110 tackles (74 solo), plus two interceptions, three tackles for loss, two quarterback hits and six pass breakups.
"We were both already motivated, but to have each other there just gave us that extra motivation going in each day with each other," Trevathan said of Marshall. "He was a good wing partner for me. I feel like we handled our business and we were pros about it. That goes to show that this defense came a long way and Brandon and I came a long way. I think the Jaguars missed it really big when they let him go. I'm glad to have him here. That's my brother. We're going to finish out this year correctly."

Online CEU Courses (6)
To present optimal affected person-care all through their careers, healthcare professionals must keep their competency and take part in ongoing professional improvement actions. According to an annual report by Sloan Consortium, a bunch of organizations devoted to quality online schooling, dangerous financial instances often have a very good affect on training. For instance, in case you are trying to earn more money, taking the appropriate programs can assist you enhance your salary or allow you to get promoted. According to a national survey of scholars in persevering with schooling, the grownup learners in each two-12 months and four-year school degree applications have been considerably older than traditional college students. One of the important causes for continuing training could possibly be the state of economy. You may even have the ability to meet new individuals and socialize by the courses that you simply take.

In it's latest higher training projection, the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics reported that the total enrollment of students who're 35 years or older in degree granting institutions is anticipated to extend 7 {634b5631a487853c432e855b88a23a9564274290db2cb36f0f5f58e40ba7793c} between 2005 and 2016.

A mixture of conventional, distance, and conference-kind examine, or two of these three strategies, could also be used for a selected continuing schooling course or program.

These programs offer grownup learners the option of getting in-classroom and online studying.

AR Murugadoss' films always have a comedy actor who constantly explains the move of the protagonist. If Sathyan and Sathish played Vijay's friend in Thuppakki and Kaththi respectively, it looks like Yogi Babu will be seen playing a similar role in Thalapathy 62. Yogi Babu was last seen playing a brief role with Vijay in Mersal but the comedian is said to have got a much bigger character in Thalapathy 62.
Keerthy Suresh is said to be the front-runner to play the female lead in Thalapathy 62 and talks are on with AR Rahman to compose music. AR Murugadoss is also auditioning newcomers to play important roles in the film along with established actors.
To be produced by Sun Pictures, Girish Gangadharan of Angamaly Diaries will be cranking the camera for the film and Sreekar Prasad will take care of the cuts.
Thalapathy 62 will start rolling from January 2018.

One of the most vegetarian friendly, easy to choose brunches I have been to recently is the newest Prohibition Brunch at Bazxar in DIFC.
An extremely trendy place with a wall full of street graffiti and a casual dining space at one end, a bar in the centre and a more sophisticated dining area at the other end, Bazxar is one place where Friday brunch goers would want to be spotted at.
A set menu from which you can decide your dishes, we tried the Crispy Mac n Cheese and Aubergine Bao for the Starters.
I absolutely loved the Crispy Mac and Cheese Balls stuffed with a delicious blend of cheese but not overpowering the macaroni. It was addictive and you can't stop at one.
The Bao on the other hand was healthy and in complete contrast to the Mac n Cheese Balls. It was light and tasty and a good option for those who are conscious about their diets.
From the Entrees, I tried the Burrata Pizza which was so so luscious! It was a tickle to the tastebuds and best when had hot. With a crispy base and mouth watering cheese, you will be saddened if you have only one piece.
By the time we reached Mains, we were pretty stuffed but of course couldn't stop ourselves from trying what was on their menu. We opted to have the Huevos Rancheros which was as beautiful to look at as it was in taste. A true Mexican feast, this dish can easily be shared by 2 or 3 after the starters and entree.
The dessert selection was the best! Mini Nutella Freakshakes named as "Get your Freak On" consisted of pretzels, crunchy kit kat and nutella ice cream. It was a milkshake lovers dream.
The Explosion Cheesecake and Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich were unique and not something you often see in brunches. I loved the mint ice cream between the cookies presented as a cookie sandwich. It was scrumptious.
The brunch may be a wee bit pricey considering it's a set menu and not a buffet with all you can eat options, but considering the vibe and popularity of the place, i would say it's a must try for the food options served.

Welcome back, dearest reader! While I'm still recovering from my birthday weekend, the party's pretty much continuing on on Hey Pretty. But in the chic, French way.
Chanel just launched their new fragrance «Gabrielle», and I'm hooked!
The first standalone scent launch since «Chance» in 2002 has been highly anticipated by many. And Chanel is going back to the roots with this one:
«The name tells a story. The story of Gabrielle Chanel. The story of the woman before she was Coco, the designer. A rebel at heart, Gabrielle fought to become the woman she wanted to be. A woman as radiant as the fragrance she inspired.»
Quick clip break:
You could describe «Gabrielle» as an abstract flower scent, combining classical ingredients, with a modern twist:
Gabrielle Chanel Eau de Parfum (50ml), USD 135.00
Star perfumer Olivier Polge composed the ideal white flower (which he did in collaboration with the CHANEL lab for perfume creation and development) for this fragrance.
The four corners of the bottle represent the four main white flowers of the composition. These are the main elements of the fragrance:
TOP NOTE: Mandarin, grapefruit and blackcurrant
MIDDLE NOTE: Tuberose, ylang ylang, orange blossom and jasmine
BASE NOTE: Sandalwood and musk
Yes, this is a grown up fragrance, but it's neither tame nor boring.
At first, the scent is rather classic, but then develops a beautifully delicate, almost raunchy allure which, to me, is very French.
Those who like Coco Mademoiselle are going to LOVE «Gabrielle»! It's the perfect fragrance for confident, strong women which want their perfume to be the same… and never over the top.
That's why Kristen Stewart is the perfect testimonial for this campaign, and I think that «Gabrielle» is going to be a huge success… especially towards the holiday and gift-giving season.
Now that you've learned all about Chanel's newest elegance fragrance, I'll let you start your day. May it be a great one with delicious cappuccinos and romantic moments (you know, just like in the movies).
Pearl necklace optional!
Gabrielle Chanel Eau de Parfum is available at authorised CHANEL resellers.

"Maleficent" casts box office spell with $70M debut
Disney's "Maleficent" took hold of the box office in its debut weekend, conjuring up a scary-good $70 million and giving Angelina Jolie the biggest opener of her career.
The PG-rated fantasy beat forecasts to easily top all films over the weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. Though "Maleficent" was early on considered a risky endeavor for Disney that might turn away family audiences by retelling "Sleeping Beauty" from the villain's perspective, the film emerged as a hit largely because of the draw of Jolie.
Star power has been increasingly elusive in modern Hollywood, where name-brand concepts often rule the box-office. But Jolie, in her first live-action starring role in years, drove interest for "Maleficent" and earned praise from critics, even as the film itself received lackluster reviews.
"It's a unique thing," said Dave Hollis, head of distribution for Disney. "Her star power transcends borders and genre."
Seth MacFarlane's Western comedy "A Million Ways to Die in the West" was out-gunned by "Maleficent." The R-rated Universal release opened in third place with a tepid $17.1 million despite a starry cast of Liam Neeson, Charlize Theron and Amanda Seyfried. By contrast, MacFarlane's "Ted" (for which he's making a sequel) opened with $54.4 million in 2012.
Last weekend's top film, Fox's big-budget mutant sequel "X-Men: Days of Future Past," dropped to second with $32.6 million. It's a somewhat steep decline for "Days of Future Past," but the film made $95.6 million internationally in its second week, good enough to push its global cumulative total past $500 million already.
But "Maleficent" dominated the marketplace, which has seen female-leading films continually challenge the much-disputed but still prevalent notion that male stars fuel the box office.
"The whole movie kind of rises and sets on her performance," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak. "The concept is the character. The character is completely linked to the person playing that role."
Next weekend will bring a battle between Shailene Woodley in the young adult novel adaptation "The Fault in Our Stars" and Tom Cruise in the sci-fi thriller "Edge of Tomorrow." ''Edge of Tomorrow" got a jump on its North America release, taking in $20 million in 28 countries over the weekend.

"Hey, I got nothing about a good fetish party. I do think, however, that if you're trying to kiss the GOP's gay-hating ass - like the sponsor of this party, GOProud, is doing - then you might want to avoid having an impersonator of your anti-gay, anti-sex candidate at a venue that regularly holds fetish parties."
-- Blogger John Aravosis in his post, "Gay GOP to hold Tampa convention party at fetish site w/ Paul Ryan imitator." Yes, it's true. They are.

The One That Still Thinks They Are Thinking Of The Wrong Children . . .
And now a report that a father spent the night in a cell after smacking his seven year old son once on the bottom for wandering away by himself in the dark.
Well what the fuck was he supposed to do? Shrug his shoulders and say 'well, he's old enough to make his own decisions'?
This just goes to show, it isn't about the welfare of children, it's about making sure that you can get all those nice stars on your annual departmental report. I think the Titanic was a 5 star vessel.

Mines the one with the dent in the wall and the bloody forehead from smashing brick-wards for so long.
Long ago I lost the capacity to be flabbergasted at anything that goes on in our country....but this had the potential for new levels of sheer "wtf"-ness.
I think the problem we have apart from a complete lack reality by those in positions of power is that at the heart of this was once a good idea...that every child should matter and be protected. Unfortunately as usually happens with well meaning ideas they have been hashed, rehashed, kicked, audited and target-analysed to the extent that they bear no resemblance to the real world and those who are responsible for meeting the targets are too scared about paying their mortgages to rock the boat.
Not an excuse mind, just a view from where I am.

Har ki Dun, which translates to 'Valley of Gods', lies in the Govind Wildlife Sanctuary and National Park. Thanks to the remote location of the valley, it is one of the least explored places in the Garhwal region, which is a stunning location in itself. The trail lies at the base of Fateh Parvat, and offers views of Bandar Poonch, Swargarohini, and other peaks, so is considered one of the most scenic treks in Uttarakhand.
This 6-7 day trek gives you the complete Himalayan trek experience. You'll walk through pine forests and alpine meadows during the day, and camp in the open at night. The crisp mountain air will sharpen your appetite, and you'll sleep like a baby in your tent every night.
The Har ki Dun trek is considered to be moderately challenging. The terrain is not difficult nor are the gradients steep, but there are long hours of walking each day. There are also some steep ascents, although most of the trail is fairly easy to manage. It can be done by fit beginners, but only if they are prepared to walk for 5-6 hours a day.
Uttarakhand has many other treks that are shorter and easier. You might be interested in these short treks in Uttarakhand if you're a beginner. If you're heading to Uttarakhand, you should definitely consider these Top Things to Do in Uttarakhand.
The trek starts from Sankri or Taluka and passes through the small villages of Gangad, Osla, and Seema. Around the villages, you'll see pretty apple orchards and farms, but you'll leave them behind as you enter a lush wilderness of green valleys, with wildflowers and streams everywhere. Some itineraries include a visit to Jaundhar Glacier.
The Har ki Dun valley trek can be done all year round, except during the monsoon. Temperatures vary from 10-15 degrees C in the day to 2-5 degrees C at night. In summer, you'll see blossoming flowers, sparkling streams, and wild horses, and will enjoy pleasant temperatures in the day and nippy temperatures at night. In winter, from October to March, the valley is covered in snow, and offers a different beauty, with white-carpeted trails and chilly, semi-frozen streams.
Your operator will provide you with a complete packing list for the trek. You should make sure you have enough warm wear for the trek. You should also have rain covers for your backpack and day pack, so that your gear is always protected.
It is not recommended to take young children on the trek. Most trekking days are 5-6 hours long, and there is at least 1 or 2 days on which you might trek for 7-8 hours. Fit beginners who are able to walk for long hours should be able to do the trek, but it is recommended that beginners start with treks of shorter duration.
If you're travelling with children, you should check out these 2 day treks in India or these 3 day treks in India.
The Har ki Dun trek is a great option between April-June. The streams are all full with melting snow, and the blossoms are appearing on the trees. There might be some snow on the trail, especially early in April, but the days are usually warm and comfortable. In the post-monsoon months, from September onwards, the valley is green and gorgeous, but the temperatures will be a bit lower.

Why are the channel-names displayed on the Guide (or for selected programs) different from the channel-names on the line-up card?
Channel numbers: 81, 87, 123, 176, 177, 186, 220, 221, 222, 223, 224 etc, etc, etc
Thank you for the information, gcotterl. I would be happy to help find out what's going on. Let's use channel 176 for this purpose. I am showing this should be Cartoon Network. What channel is a displaying on your guide and your channel line-up card?
Line-up card: Cartoon Network (E)
We do abbreviate the channel names with 4 letters on our guide. This is indeed the same channel it's just the channel lineup card will contain the complete channel name.
I'd like to get a list of ALL channels that I subscribe to: AT200, DISH Movie Pack and Locals (zip 92504).
I need the 4-letter channel-names (displayed in the Guide), the channel-names (shown on the lineup card) and the channel-numbers)
Hello, goctterl. The channel lineup card provided is the only channel lineup card that we have available. The guide does display the 4-letter abbreviation to save space. However, these channels do match the number on the lineup card.
For example, on the lineup card channel 110 will be displayed as Food Network and on the guide it will be displayed as FOOD.
I'll download the line-up card, extract the channels for AT200, add the Dish Movie Pack channels and add my local channels.
I'll then compare that list with the channels displayed in "My Channels" and report any discrepancies.
How can I get the 4-letter abbrevations (displayed in the guide) that match the channel-names and channel-numbers in the line-up card?

The Best Four Prevail
After a great weekend of NFL games last weekend in which 3 out of 4 Wild Card games came down to a field goal, this week was a little more disappointing in terms of intrigue. Not one of the four games was really in doubt during the course of the weekend, as all four favorites handled their business and are now going on to play Championship Weekend in which might be the best Final Four in NFL History. Next week we will have the legendary QB matchup that we all wanted in Peyton Manning vs. Tom Brady and the NFC West Blood Bath Part III, as the Seahawks and 49ers battle it out for NFC Supremacy. Before we begin breaking down these incredible games, let's take a look as to how we got here.
Seattle Seahawks 23 – New Orleans Saints 15: Even though the final score shows a one score loss for New Orleans, anyone watching the game witnessed a one-sided Seattle win, despite New Orleans tacking on some points in the closing minutes. Marshawn Lynch went into "Beast Mode" with 140 yards and two touchdowns. His second TD run came with 2:40 left in the game and the 31 yard dash to end zone pretty much ended the game. Although Russell Wilson had a shaky game, the Seattle defense and running game more than made up for it. The best TE in the game, Jimmy Graham was held without a catch until there was 41 seconds left in the game, and his eight yard reception did nothing other than erase the zero on his stat line. Although Drew Brees ended up with 309 yards, he was only 24 of 43 in earning those yards and a big chunk of them came in the 4th quarter when Seattle began playing a prevent style of defense. Overall, the Seahawks took care of business and will now host the NFC Championship game in a building that provides them with the past home field advantage in the NFL.
San Francisco 49ers 23- Carolina Panthers 10: In what was expected to be a low scoring defensive affair, the San Francisco 49ers kept their hopes of a second consecutive Super Bowl trip alive by beating the Carolina Panthers on the road. There was a debate about who the more reliable QB heading into the game would be, Colin Kaepernick who has done nothing but win in his career but doesn't bolster the sexiest numbers; or Cam Newton, the #1 pick from three years ago who has the stats to backup his game but he was making his playoff debut. While Kaepernick didn't wow anybody with gaudy numbers, he stayed true to form and got San Francisco into the end zone once with his arm and once with his leg. Cam Newton let the playoff nerves get to him a little bit and ended up throwing 2 picks along with only one touchdown. Twice in the game, Carolina had the ball inside the 49ers 3 yard line with first and goal. Both times, the stingy 49er defense stopped them from getting into the end zone, as Carolina settled for one FG and turned the ball over on downs. Frank Gore had a solid game as usual, running the ball 17 times for 84 yards. The veteran WR Anquan Boldin, whom the 49ers picked up from the Champion Ravens for moments like yesterday had a huge game, catching 8 balls for 136 yards. The 49ers stamped their ticket to Seattle where they'll look to carry on their Road Warrior ways in what should be an epic battle.
New England Patriots 43 – Indianapolis Colts 22: This was the only game I got wrong in my predictions last week. Though I also felt that Andrew Luck was overhyped at this early stage in his career, I believed that the injury plagued Patriots would be vulnerable to the Colts. I couldn't have been more wrong. I was traveling to a bar to catch the game and by the time I reached my stool at 8:30, the Colts were in a 14-0 hole. Andrew Luck played like an Andrew Luck type of game, throwing for a lot of yards but combined his 2 TDs with 4 INTs. This is a recipe that will always lead to a loss, especially when going against a Bill Belichick coached. I never thought I'd see the day in which the Patriots score 6 TDs and Tom Brady was responsible for none of them, but that is exactly what happened. LeGarrette Blount tied the Patriot postseason record with 166 yards on the ground, adding 4 TDs to an incredible stat line. Stevan Ridley added 52 yards and 2 scores of his own as he attempted to redefine what has been an extremely disappointing season. With the run game in high gear and Brady still at the helm, the Patriots played their way into their 3rd straight AFC Championship game.
Denver Broncos 24 – San Diego Chargers 17: If you told the San Diego Chargers that they would hold Peyton Manning and the Broncos high power offense to 24 points, I guarantee you that they would have felt really good about their chances of winning. In a season in which all of the talk in Denver has been about the offensive weapons at Manning's disposal, it was the much aligned defense which stepped up and lead the Broncos to victory. The Chargers were unable to get onto the score board until the fourth quarter, as Phillip Rivers only completed 18 passes for a meager 217 yards. San Diego has been living with it's running game in recent weeks, but the Denver front seven only allowed the Chargers 65 yards on the ground. I couldn't believe all of the chatter I heard this week in which the "experts" felt as if San Diego had the Broncos number. The fact that Phillip Rivers was 6-2 in his career in Denver and that Peyton Manning was 0-3 in his last 3 postseason games provided the fodder for this misconception. Peyton was efficient, threw for 230 yards and 2 TDs and most importantly, helped the Broncos convert 3rd downs at a 9 of 13 clip. Knowshon Moreno and Montee Ball combined for 133 yards on the ground for Denver who controlled the game and will now be reward by hosting the AFC Championship game next week.
We will be breaking down each matchup in detail later this week and give our picks for the games…next week will be unbelievable as the four best teams in the NFL are alive and all four of them are candidates to win the Super Bowl this year. Stay tuned and enjoy the hoops and puck until the weekend arrives…
Divisional Matchup Preview
Hello Sports Debaters fans! Part of the New Year Resolution is to make a strong comeback and deliver the content that the millions of our fans have been missing and asking for. It's been a while since we spoken but that's because we've been waiting for the right time to reenter your lives…The NFL Playoffs!
The games this weekend were excellent. We had the future of the NFL, Andrew Luck lead the Colts in a huge comeback over the Chiefs. After that, 34 year old Drew Brees taught 24 year old Nick Foles how a grown ass All-Pro QB wins playoff games on the road in a nail biter in Philly. Today's games reminded us that Andy Dalton is an obstacle that the Bengals will never overcome as Phillip Rivers outplayed him and lead the San Diego Super Chargers to a playoff win over Cincy. Last but not least, Colin Kaepernick took his 49ers north of the wall to face Aaron Rodgers and the Packers and the better team came out on top by a FG..SF 23, GB 20.
So we head into next week and I wanted to be the first to tell you how the games will turn out. The Divisional Round is always the best as the big boys come off their bye weeks and host the survivors from the first round. The QB's next week will feature an unbelievable combination of Super Bowl Winners (Brady, Manning, Brees), an all-pro veteran trying to make his mark (Rivers) and the youngest, best talent in the league (Newton, Kaep, Wilson & Luck). I think it's safe to say that 7 of the best 8 teams from the season will be playing next weekend (not quite buying the Chargers yet!)
With that said, here are the picks:
Denver Broncos will get revenge on the San Diego Chargers for beating them in Denver in early December. Peyton Manning will be too much for the San Diego defense and not give the ball away as much as Andy Dalton. Denver wins fairly easily: DEN 35 SD 24
New England will host the Colts who are coming off the second best comeback in playoff history. The Patriots have been up and down all season long and were blessed with a weak division and easy schedule. I like the Colts to go into Foxborough and take out the Patriots in an extremely close game, setting up a Manning-Luck matchup in the Championship game: IND 28 NE 27
While I love the Saints and what they did against Philly, Seattle is a much more complete team and near impossible to beat at home. The Saints travelled there on a Monday night and got destroyed in the regular season and while I think they'll put up a better fight this time around, Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch and the Seattle vaunted defense will be too much for the Saints: SEA 27 NO 21
Even though the Carolina Panthers have had an impressive year, winning their division and clinching a first round bye, I still need to see more from Cam Newton. This will be his playoff debut and though I know he has all the tools to get the job done, the 49ers are more complete and Kaepernick has shown his ability in a big spot often in his young career. I love this defensive matchup and I believe this will definitely be a low scoring blood bath. In the end, the more complete team wins: SF 17 CAR 13
Like I said, we are back for 2014 and look forward to dropping knowledge on you once again…enjoy the college pigskin tomorrow night and we'll talk later this week…
NFL Wild Card Playoffs: Day 1 Preview & Predictions
The time has come. Even though we are a New York based site and both the Jets and Giants crapped the bed this year, that doesn't mean that Sports Debaters interest in the NFL playoffs lessens. The Wild Card Round is upon us and there are some extremely exciting match-ups. Here is our breakdown and predictions for both of Saturday's Wild-Card games.
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Houston Texans: In a rematch of last year's Wild Card game, the Bengals and Texans will face off in Houston to open this year's festivities. The Houston Texans were in the drivers seat all season long, and many experts expected them to win the AFC's home field throughout the playoffs. However, over the past few weeks, they have come back to earth and their loss last week to the Colts forced them into action the opening weekend. The Bengals have played an impressive brand of football the past few weeks, and their Week 16 nail biting win over the Steelers catapulted them into today's game. Last year, the Texans beat the Bengals 31-10 behind QB T.J. Yates, as starter Matt Schaub went down with an injury heading into the playoffs. This year, Schaub is back and ready to prove himself in the post season for the first time. The Bengal's Andy Dalton and AJ Green are easily among the best young QB/WR combinations in the NFL and it is a sure bet that they will be a presence in the playoffs for years to come. However, we expect the Texans, behind Arian Foster, J.J. Watt and the rest of the supporting cast to take care of business in front of their home crowd. Prediction: Houston 21- Bengals 17.
Minnesota Packers vs. Green Bay Packers: Anytime two division rivals matchup in the playoffs, players on both teams inevitably bring their best games. In a rematch of a game that was played only a week ago, the Minnesota Vikings beat the Green Bay 37-34 in a thrilling game to clinch a playoff spot. Adrian Peterson came into the game needing 208 yards to break the all-time rushing record one year after tearing up his knee, and he came a mere 9 yards short. In the two games against Green Bay this year, Peterson has put up 210 and 199 yards so we can expect a similar performance in this battle. Unfortunately for the Vikings, there is a well known QB opposing them in the likes of Aaron Rodgers, who has completed 75% of his passes against the Vikes in the past five seasons. Greg Jennings finally looks healthy and he will join forces with Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson and James Jones as the best set of wideouts in the NFL. Although Viking's QB Christian Ponder threw for three TD's against the Pack last week, Green Bay's Charles Woodson will return to action and will surely make life more difficult for the Sophomore QB who is 1-3 in his career against Green Bay. We expect a close, high-scoring game and a lot of Peterson yards but in the end Aaron Rodgers will out-duel Christian Ponder by a margin that even Peterson can't overcome. Green Bay will make up for last year's disappointing home loss to the Giants and a 2-4 record in their last 6 playoff games at Lambeau, and move on to the Divisional round next weekend. Final Score: Packers 38- Vikings 28
Check in tomorrow prior to kickoff for our predictions on the Colts vs. Ravens and Seahawks vs. Redskins.

Berlin, one of my favorite cities. One I would come back to every single month or even week if possible. A place that's surely underestimated regarding to its beauty and enjoyability, that it's totally there and can be found in every little corner. You just have to explore it to fully understand. You can't help but feel like you've been there for quite a time even though you have just got off of a plane and just started to wander through the streets.
During my weekend there I took the change to try some of the restaurants and cafés that since quite I while arose my curiosity. Luckily I loved all of them.
Dudu – Torstrasse 134
Dudu is quite a famous place in Berlin if you want to eat some sushi or asian food. You can find a very cool and varied crowd from all over Berlin ( with some tourists too ) coming there. It is not super upscale but it's cool and, if you decide to sit and enjoy your food on the outside patio you are surrounded by plants and flowers.. that's always a plus. The internal room is equally nice but much more minimal.
Went for some rolls and salmon sashimi. Fresh and delicious, you won't be disappointed.
Cecconi's Berlin – Torstrasse 1
Red leather couches and armchairs, an amazing black and white marble floor with shiny chandeliers and dark wooden tables with minimal setting. Cecconi's is probably one of my favorite spot in town regarding the design and vibes given. It is located inside the Berlin Soho House that you probably all already know, a members-only club for people in the creative industries, that need a membership to be fully frequented but the restaurant, together with the SPA in this house in Berlin, does not need it.
Cecconi's originated in Venice so it serves hand-made pasta, seafood, and a variety of dishes from Northern Italy. Also the cooks were all Italian, so next time I will surely try to eat directly on the counter that faces the open plan chicken.. just to have a little chat.
What Do You Fancy Love? – Linienstraße 41
Went there during a rainy Sunday morning. Me and my friend were literally the first clients they had for the morning so we were able to enjoy the colorful place peacefully while watching the Berliners dealing with their walks in the not so good weather. So, at the end, the fact that we were unable to have our cappucinos on their sidewalks tables may have been not a so negative note.

I'm pleased to say that I've now got a book available for the Kindle: my novel Bearkeeper can be bought from Amazon for the frankly bargain price of £1.99 (or just over three dollars if you're in the States).

Books for Keeps
The Island of Thieves is "book of the week" on Books for Keeps; in their (lovely!) review, they describe it as "one of the best children's adventure stories of the year".
New event: I'll be at P&G Wells Bookshop in Winchester at 3pm on Sunday 3rd July, reading from The Island of Thieves and signing books. See you there!
The Island of Thieves
How long does it take to write a book? I've just written a short piece here about the length of time that I took to write my new book, The Island of Thieves.
The book itself is published next month; here's the cover…
Some books
I went into a bookshop recently and spent a long time wandering through the fiction shelves, searching for a novel to read. I went through crime, sf, children's books and general fiction, skimming titles, reading a few pages here and there, but nothing sprang out at me. I don't know where the problem lies; have I become tired of fiction? Are novels losing their fizz? Or was I looking at a particularly uninspiring selection? I don't think so: this was a fairly big bookshop with long lines of shelves.
I eventually left with two books. Both were in the Psychology section, although neither should have been; they're both what would probably be described as "creative non-fiction" and so, perhaps, unclassifiable. One has proved to be brilliant; the other interesting and worthwhile.
The first was a wonderful book by Tim Parks about his struggles with illness: Teach Us to Sit Still: A Sceptic's Search for Health and Healing. It's funny, clever, illuminating, intriguing, surprising and highly recommended. Teach Us to Sit Still describes how he lived in a state of agony for many years, trying all kinds of conventional medical techniques, before finally, reluctantly, sceptically, turning to meditation. To his astonishment, it worked. To my astonishment, this book actually made me want to start meditating. I haven't yet. It also made me want to read more Parks; I've read a couple of his non-fiction books before, but none of his novels; I'm now going to remedy that.
Then I read The Case for Working with Your Hands: or Why Office Work is Bad for Us and Fixing Things Feels Good by Matthew Crawford. (Which was published in the US as Shop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry Into the Value of Work; the British title was changed because we have no idea what "shop class" means.) Not a perfect book by any means, but fascinating in places; he mingles some neat description of his own working life – as an electrician, a philosopher and a mechanic – with a polemic on the failings of modern industrial society.
I've also reviewed a couple of good books for the Guardian: a new biography of Romain Gary by David Bellos – author of the wonderful biography of Georges Perec – and his translation of Gary's strange book, Hocus Bogus, which could also be called "creative non-fiction" too, although in a very different way to these other two.
A couple of recent reviews, both for the Guardian: one for children, The Double Life of Cassiel Roadnight by Jenny Valentine; the other for adults, A Russian Novel by Emmanuel Carrère. They're two very different books, aimed at very different readerships, but I loved both of them.
I've written a short piece here about writing under two different names.
I'm doing an event in the Foyles in Westfield – in Shepherd's Bush – next Saturday, August 14th. I'll be there at 2pm.
If you come along, make sure you bring a copy of this voucher, which gives you 20% off all children's books in Foyles till the end of August.
I'm going to be doing another event in London next month too: on Saturday 18th September, I'll be at the Chiswick Book Festival.
