We were shocked to read last night that Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner had delivered an expletive-filled tirade to a team of financial regulators.
From the Fed chairman to whom Geithner's plan would assign more power, to the FDIC chairman the proposal conspicuously ignores, all the major financial regulators have had constructive criticism.
It was last Friday that Geithner blasted his fellow regulators. While we don't imagine the performance impressed Sheila Bair or Ben Bernanke, it went over even worse with pundits, who universally rated the performance "junk" and put Geithner's career outlook on credibility watch.
Most blamed Larry Summers for orchestrating the thing; one suggested the president hold a press conference and wash both mens' mouths out with soap. We pulled some of our favorite reviews:
Economist's Free Exchange blog:
Still, if ranking legislators of both parties are sceptical about the plan to further empower the Fed, I'm not sure what is accomplished by yelling at regulators, except for: a) catharsis on Mr Geithner's part, and b) optics.
Dealbreaker's Greg Michaels:
Drawing on his ongoing home selling frustrations, TG told those lucky enough to be in attendance last Friday that "enough is enough" and now is not the time to think through comprehensive financial regulatory overhaul. Apparently at this critical moment what is really needed is unwarranted blind faith in the administration.
Zerohedge's "Tyler Durden"
On a more serious note, this begs the question: is the SecTsy finally losing it and why? Or, in a Machiavellian ploy of sinister brilliance, did Larry Summers orchestrate all of this by turning off CNBC access at the U.S. Treasury, in hopes of creating a brief but deadly Western standoff between his adversaries (all of them)?
Naked Capitalism's Yves Smith:
Obama seems unable to recognize he has pinned the fate of his presidency on two people, Geithner and Summers, who are part of the problem. The stillborn PPIP was a terrible idea. Paulson had two efforts on variants of the "buy toxic assets" idea and failed. The stress tests were a farce. The Potemkin reform plan puts more regulatory authority in the Fed, which was far and away, of all the regulators, least interested in supervision. The only thing that the Treasury and Fed have succeeded in doing is cheerleading to get stock prices up so that banks could raise equity at not-hugely-dilutive prices.
And over at New York, Jessica Pressler suggests Obama hold a press conference making Geithner repeat all the bad words in public
Afterward, Obama will present Geithner with a bar of soap and tell him he has to hold it in his mouth until he reveals who taught him the bad words. Geithner will hold it, eyes tearing, for like five minutes before fingering Larry Summers. Then they'll get sent to a nice hideaway in the mountains to do sharing exercises and we'll get a whole new economic team, with maybe Paul Krugman and that nice Joe Stiglitz.

After the last session, I came back to the NGA all enthused and ready to cover some canvas this session.
Using the skills I have been gradually gaining, I tackled the right side of the composition. Focusing on getting the values and color temperatures as close as possible to the original, I worked methodically top to bottom and left to right.

Other titles: Kannazuki no Miko
Synopsis: Kannazuki no Miko begins in the village of Mahoroba, where time passes slowly for both man and nature. Two students from the village's prestigious Ototachibana Academy might as well be night and day. Himeko is shy and unassertive, while Chikane is bold and elegant. Despite this, they love each other, and nothing can come between them, no matter how hard they try.
On the two girls' shared birthday, a sinister voice corrupts one of their friends into attacking them, and just when it seemed grimmest, the lunar and solar priestess powers that lay dormant in the two girls awaken, dispelling the evil. That was only the first hurdle, however. The two must now fend off the countless others who would threaten their well-being—even the people closest to them!

The Isle of Man TT is a truly incredible event – particularly in this day and age of heightened safety concerns in every sport, especially motorsports. There are few other events in the world that allow riders to risk their lives in the pursuit of glory, and even fewer that allow likeminded spectators to get so close to that journey. The fact that there is relatively little prize money on offer only serves to make the event more special as riders are competing almost exclusively for just the glory and prestige of winning.
The first time you experience a Superbike class machine scream past you – only 2 or 3 metres away – going almost 300km/h, is something that you will never forget! The brutal shriek of the motor; the vibrations from the sound reverberating throughout your chest; the smell of an unrestricted exhaust pumping out the gasses of a 200+ horsepower beast at 12,000rpm; the rush from the wake of air left behind by a machine that is barely holding onto the road – it's an assault on the senses in the best possible way!
® TT is a registered trade mark of the Department of Economic Development (a Department of the Isle of Man Government).

Isle of Man TT 2019 Tours & Travel Packages
We could wax lyrical about how great the Isle of Man TT is for paragraphs upon paragraphs, however we thought we'd leave it someone that has a greater understanding of the event than just about anyone – two-time race winner and 10-time competitor, Australian TT legend and all-round great bloke, Cameron Donald:
"When you arrive at the Isle of Man and you step off the boat, you know you're at the hallowed ground of motorcycle racing. It's the Mecca of motorcycle racing, it's the Isle of Man. It's the oldest motorcycle race in the world; it's the longest course in the world; it's the longest street circuit in the world and it's the most dangerous motorcycle race in the world.
To begin with, you start by heading down Bray Hill – the steepest downhill section of any motorcycle race in the world – straight into a dip that you hit flat out in top gear when you get it right and you don't have to roll the throttle. Follow that up over Ago's Leap, straight into a jump that where you're likely to have the front wheel near vertical in the air as you get airborne. That's all within the first five hundred metres! You'll pass thirty-odd pubs in a lap of the circuit, which are all brilliant spectating points. What other track in the world can you stand in a beer garden, literally less than one metre from the circuit? If you wanted to, you could reach out and touch the bikes going past. As a rider it's brilliant when you're riding past and you can literally look into the eyes of the spectators standing there waving their programme, drinking a pint! Sometimes you wish you were joining them when things aren't going so well with the bike on the track!
When you go over the humpback bridge at Ballaugh and you jump a metre to a metre and a half off the ground; it's just incredible what you're putting your body and your bike through. A couple of miles down the road from Ballaugh is the fastest jump on the circuit which, when you're doing a lap in the car, wouldn't feel like much more than a small bump. You hit that bump on a Superbike in fifth gear doing 150-160+ mph, you'll go fifty or sixty metres down the road before you touch back down on the ground.
It's unbelievable! It's things like that when people tell you, it's hard to believe until you get over there and see it for yourself; until you get over there and sit on the hedge and watch it with your own eyes. And thats the great thing the TT, you can do that. I mean, we love going to Grand Prix's as motorcycle spectators. I know I do. I love going to my Grand Prix at Phillip Island and to some of the other Grand Prix's I've been to around the world. But there's always that gap between the circuit and yourself. There's a ripple strip, there's a run-off area, there's grass, there's a fence. Not at the TT. You can stand there in someone's front yard, you can stand on the footpath and there's nothing but a bit of rope bunting between you and the riders going past at… well, we're nudging 200 mph, so what's that, about 325kph. In a race, we complete six 67km laps, averaging over 200kph where some of the corners are dead-stop hairpins and you get down to first gear. Our lowest speed is probably about 50km/h and it feels like you could jump off and walk faster at the time! So to be able to go through corners that slow and still average 200kph gives you an idea of just how quick the average section of the course is. It's incredible! It's so fast, so exciting! But it's always a buzz to sit on the hedge with the spectators and talk to fans that tell you that they've sat at this same spot for the past 10-20 years sometimes. They'll give you a tip that this is a different spot to watch, or this other place is great to go for a feed and a pint.
You don't find that in any other motorcycle race in the world."
Kick off your TT trip with a lap of your own! On the first day of the tour you'll experience every metre of the 37.73 miles Snaefell Mountain Course with a former or current TT rider talking you through every corner and undulation. Previous guests on the coach have included two-time TT winner, Cameron Donald, and fastest ever Australian around the course, David 'Davo' Johnson.
The Official VIP Suite is located within the paddock area, so you're able to come and go from the Suite as you please to soak in the electric atmosphere as teams and riders do their final shakedown before Race Day 1. Included with your pass to the Official VIP Suite is entry to the TT Main Grandstand located above the pits, so you'll be able to see some of the hardest and fastest launches you're ever likely to see! Within the VIP Suite itself you'll be able to help yourself to a delicious two-course buffet dinner.
Another exclusive for Sportsnet Holidays travellers, the Sportsnet Riders Panel Dinner is possibly the highlight of the entire tour. Hosted by Cameron Donald, the Dinner is your chance to rub shoulders with some of the fastest and bravest racers in the world and ask them the questions you've always wondered about. The Dinner is also a great opportunity for you to grab some signatures and a few snaps as well. The evening includes a two course buffet dinner and drinks (including spirits) throughout. Previous guests have included John McGuinness, Ian Hutchinson, Bruce Anstey and James Hillier amongst others.
Perhaps the most iconic pub on The Isle, the Creg-Ny-Baa is certainly the one with the best view of the action! Situated on a sharp right corner of the same name, the balcony of 'The Creg' overlooks the corner and allows you to see the riders hurtling down the mountain at 300+ km/h before braking heavily to get down to 2nd gear for the sharp right-hander. The best thing about 'The Creg', Sportsnet clients have exclusive accessº to the upstairs bar and balcony for the entire day. Drinks are provided for the entire day and the catering is bloody amazing!
Held on the evening of Race Day 4 and your last night on The Isle (unless you've extended your stay of course!), as it's name suggests the Farewell Drinks is your chance to say goodbye to your fellow Sportsnet travellers and discuss the last week-and-a-bit of racing. In fact, in the past we've had a few riders make appearances, so there's even a chance you'll get a debrief from a rider's perspective! Naturally, drinks and nibbles are supplied throughout the night!
"What a fabulous trip to the TT on the Isle of Man with a superior Travel agency! Would do it again in a heart beat!"
– Judith Parsons, 16 July 2018
"We travelled to the IOM TT 2018 with Sportsnet Holidays and from the very beginning we knew it would be an amazing holiday. The excitement of reading about the inclusions in the package was hugely outdone by actually being there and experiencing it all. From meeting the riders, having the best vantage points, being able to do a lap of the course (twice for us as I won a fast lap in a course car!) meeting so many lovely people and being looked after so well by our tour guides (Glynn, Bec, Brooke and Maria). I would highly recommend Sportsnet holidays as the experts in the business. Awesome!"
– Mel Yip, 15 July 2019
"Fantastic trip, the host's were very helpful, a very well organised tour, will be back in 2020. Thanks Sportsnet and cheers to one and all…"
– Martin Dowson, 15 July 2018
"My father and his mate travelled to the Isle of man TT this year and this was their first overseas trip. From the very first phone call to Sportsnet the service provided by Brooke in the booking process was exceptional. She did everything she said she was going to do and made the booking process extremely simple and stress free. The information provided prior to the trip and during the trip ensured everything ran like clock work.
Brooke Glynn and Bec were highly professional and friendly and could not have asked for a better level of service from them.
The trip itself was terrific and you wouldn't change a thing. One of the highlights of the trips was the lap of the TT course provided in the tour. By far both Dad and his mate agree it was the best trip they have ever done and would recommend to anyone to use Sportsnet Holidays to visit the Isle of Man as their inside knowledge and connections have you experiencing things you would not be able to do on your own. They are still in disbelief as to what they saw. Thank you for a trip of a lifetime!"
– Shannon Burtenshaw, 15 July 2018
"An AWESOME journey from start to finish!!! First time overseas for me and I struck gold!!! 100% gold!!! The whole team at sportsnet were very friendly professional and helpful on any given day !! I will never forget my holiday to the Isle Of Man 2018 perfect weather unbelievable racing and an awesome Island totally mind blowing!!! Thanks so much Sportsnet!!! Memories for a life time!!!"
– Stuart Glennie, 7 July 2018
"I have recently returned from the Isle of Man having done my booking with Sportnet. Travelling alone from NZ they made the whole trip so easy for me. Thank you so much!"
– Trish Best, 3 July 2018
"I've just completed a trip to the Isle of Man TT organised through Sportsnet with my 79 year old father & the service provided by this company & it's staff was second to none. We had a fantastic time & I'll be going back for sure. The information provided & the help we received before leaving Australia & from the time we arrived was faultless. The events we attended & the days on the track were just fantastic, all you had to do was walk out the front of the hotel & straight onto the bus & off you went.
The small things that Sportsnet provided, such as mobile phones, deck chairs & a number of other things just made managing things a piece of cake.
The guest presenters at the functions that Sportsnet put on were truly special, who would of thought that we would get to meet a legend of the sport like John McGuinness.
To all the crew at Sporstnet, a big thank you for providing me with the trip of a lifetime with my father.
Going to the TT, go with Sportsnet, you be mad if you didn't."
– Glen Fuz, 27 June 2018
"Communication was great from my initial enquiry until departure. The IOM trip is itself exceeded our expectations and provided some memories that will no doubt last a lifetime. Highly recommend."
– Shaun Clancy, 25 June 2018
"My partner and I traveled to the Isle Of Man with Sportsnet this year 2018. This was our first time traveling overseas, we inquired with Sportsnet about the Isle of Man TT and from that moment on they made the whole experience so easy. From the easy payment system to keeping us updated along the way. Even the ability to change our return flights to allow us to extend our holiday. The itinerary was perfect from the minute we left til the minute we got home. The Sportsnet itinerary allowed us to do thing that we would never have been able to arrange ourselves like a guided lap of the TT coarse and meeting of several riders. I wouldn't hesitate to travel with Sportsnet again, their staff conducted them self very professionally and it's a holiday we will never forget. Thank you Ian Hill and Sportsnet Holidays."
– Terry Page, 22 June 2018
"Always wanted to go to the Isle of Man TT. On the bucket list. Finally bit the bullet booked with Sportsnet. Glynn was my contact nothing was too much trouble and if he wasn't there he phoned back quickly. Everything about the trip exceeded expectations, from the VIP tent to the exclusive meet the riders night. All food and drinks complementary. Talks from the riders, question time and autographs signed. The staff were with us all the way and a greater group you could not find. Best trip ever."
– Peter Olsson, 22 June 2018

Have you ever noticed how many hundreds of books are written about being an effective manager and how few are written about being an effective employee? Just do a quick scan of Amazon's pages or the shelves of your neighborhood bookstore. They're stocked high with the management secrets of Attila the Hun, Machiavelli, Abraham Lincoln, or your favorite winning athletic coach, business executive, political figure, or management consultant. You can read about how to be a one-minute manager, how to lead a high-performing team, how to use consensus management, how to imbue your management style with Zen. You can survey thousands of management styles and tricks. You can learn what academic researchers and consulting firms have discovered about management success.
But you won't find a lot of books about how to be a good employee. That's because how-to books for employees don't have much value.
I learned why when I was starting my career. A client asked me to run a training program called "How to Manage your Supervisor." I was inexperienced and idealistic. I was also hungry for work. Mostly, I believed in the power of candid, rational communication to offset the damage when management relationships go south.
So I developed the program. The results were abysmal.
The moment the participants began describing their trials and anxieties with inept, unthinking, ornery supervisors, I saw I had the wrong people in the classroom. The managers needed the training, not their employees. The managers were in a position to solve these operational problems and communication ruptures, not their employees.
The only successful aspect of the entire program was the attendance; they were turning people away at the door. It confirmed every suspicion I had that managers exert a powerful influence on their employees and yet are unaware of its extent. Managers are either preoccupied with their own needs and anxieties or they're depending on their reflexes and "natural style" rather than a deliberate approach to their obligations. They are simply oblivious to how much they matter.
An employee doesn't set the tone, standards, or direction for the way the two of you work. The foundation of this relationship always falls to you. You're the architect. You're the one responsible to create the conditions that promote your employees best work. It all boils down to an inescapable truth: If the foundation of the management relationship is solid, it's because you're doing something right. If the foundation falters or fails, it's because you're doing something wrong. It's that simple and that difficult.

My Approach
In the relaxing setting of my office, my clients and I collaborate to find solutions to the issues they face. Together, we explore questions like:
- What kinds of things have happened in your life that shape who you are today?
- What challenges are you facing right now?
- What would your life feel like if you were able to handle those challenges differently?
- What are the goals for your life and relationships that are most important and meaningful to you?
- What are the internal strengths and skills that you are already drawing upon in your life?
- What new skills might be helpful to you now?
As my clients begin to test new skills and insights in their daily lives, they do so knowing they have a safe place for reflection and an experienced person to offer support, encouragement, and constructive challenge.

How 4 State-of-the-Union Tax Proposals May Affect You
3 February 2015
In his State of the Union address on January 20, President Barack Obama proposed changes to the tax code that would increase taxes for higher-income individuals and lower them for middle-class taxpayers. Here are the possible implications of four of the President's proposals. We chose these four in particular because they represent situations we frequently see in our practice.
Read on for our insights, and please give us a call if you'd like to know more about how these proposed changes may impact you – we're always happy to listen, and dedicated to creating tailored solutions that fit your specific situation.
1. Raise the top capital gains and dividend tax for high-income households to 28%, the rate under President Reagan.
The top rate applies to couples whose joint income tops $500,000.
2. Eliminate the "stepped-up basis" for inherited assets that are transferred at death.
This change to the so-called "trust-fund loophole" would require non-spouse heirs to pay capital gains tax on the appreciation of assets at the date of death. For example, say you leave assets worth $5 million to an heir (other than your spouse). If you originally paid $1 million for the stocks, your heir would pay the effective capital gains tax rate on the difference.
These taxes are in addition to an estate taxes you would pay if your estate is worth more than $5.4 million.
For couples, no tax would be due until the second spouse dies, and up to $200,000 per couple could still be bequeathed tax-free. (The proposal doesn't address the marital exemption, and it's not yet clear whether it would include retirement accounts.)
3. Create a tax credit for two-earner families.
The President proposed a new $500 "second-earner" credit to help cover the additional costs faced by families in which both spouses work. Families would claim a credit equal to 5% of the first $10,000 of earnings for the lower-earning spouse in a married couple; the maximum credit would be available to families with incomes up to $120,000, with a partial credit available up to $210,000.
4. Increase the childcare tax credit to $3,000.
The President has proposed tripling the maximum Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (CDCTC) to as much as $3,000 for each child under the age of 5. The President's proposal would make the maximum credit—for young children, older children, and elderly or disabled dependents—available to families with incomes up to $120,000.
However, this is not a refundable tax credit: if your income is so low that you wouldn't have any federal tax liability, you wouldn't be eligible for the credit.
Confused or concerned? We can help you navigate and understand these changes.
These proposals for tax increases for the wealthy—combined with a proposal that would impose a 7-basis-point fee on the liabilities of large U.S. financial firms—would result in increased revenue of $320 billion over 10 years. This would be used to pay for some of the other proposals, such as free community college for two years.
Many of these proposals have yet to be fleshed out in committee, but it doesn't hurt to be aware of them now so you can plan ahead and avoid surprises. Rigby Financial Group offers extensive services in the areas of personal financial planning and tax planning. Please contact us to discuss in more detail how these proposals might affect you.

People that own a computer system are generally reliant on them to keep their lives connected and organized over time. Challenges are frequently present when performance and malfunction issues arise that impact the performance of their computer as many owners are unable to deal with the sophisticated base of parts that are used in their creation. While hiring a PC service Atlanta provider consumers are offered the chance to ensure they are able to have their issues resolved in an effective manner.PC services are equipped with the tools and knowledge required to ensure that issues are able to be fully resolved. Computer owners are usually reliant on their skills when they are unable to troubleshoot any of the issues they are dealing with individually and are still trying to gain full access to the use of their system. The hiring choices made from all possible options are quite difficult to weigh in as needed.
People of Atlanta that are focused on this kind of professional guidance have plenty of options to concentrate on. Numerous consumers are unaware of what considerations are actually best to concentrate on when making sure their system is receiving the best attention possible. Concentrating on several important factors is quite useful in making sure the most appropriate professional attention is actually uncovered.
Manufacturer recommendations should always receive attention from consumers that are trying to make this choice. Manufacturers are all varied in regard to the parts and components they use for their systems which may require detailed training on the part of any professional to ensure they are fully equipped to address any issues. Contacting the manufacturer frequently leads to being offered a comprehensive listing of local professionals that are fully versed in what is needed for productive and successful assistance.
Consumers should only focus on the professionals that offer free estimates as part of their solutions. Estimates are sought after by the consumers in an attempt to ensure they fully understand what is needed for their computer in regard to time lines and actual work that is being performed. Receiving multiple proposals frequently encouraged ensuring the best possible deal is actually discovered.
Professionals should also be able to provide full availability and efficient repairs. Numerous consumers are surprised to learn that local professionals are quite busty and often unable to begin their work on any immediate level which can create inconveniences. Focusing on professionals that begin their work as quickly as possible and take the smallest amount of time for full completion helps avoid major difficulties.
Loaner systems are an additional facet of consideration that owners tend to be interested in. The reliance on computers is now rampant and can create a challenge when trying to keep life managed over time. Professionals offering this option normally market it heavily which can be put to great use in this effort.
When selecting a PC service Atlanta consumers are also interested in their cost. Paying for this kind of work could quickly become overwhelming for anyone to manage when trying to make sure they are able to keep their budgets intact. Low pricing is combined with the most effective guidance is usually what helps create the best deal.

Cheese and mushroom casserole with chicken
This casserole is simple and delicious, and makes a perfect snack during a picnic (bento anyone?)—you should use it as a basic idea for a casserole, since the pasta sauce is the stable and the most important piece of the meal. It's also a very tweak-able recipe! :-)
Triple-reduced mushroom sauce
This is one of my signature dishes—it's delicious, rich and hearty, and goes well with any kind of base: pasta, potatoes, and rice just taste superb together. My secret to the intensive, flavorful sauce is the triple reduction of the ingredients' fluids, due to cooking in batches and mixing in specific order. It takes some time, but the result is so much worth it! :-)
Perfectly juicy chicken
With all the sugar I'm processing lately, I need to take some precautions to keep my diet balanced. This recipes is the bomb not only for people on the diet, but also for anybody else, who loves the aromatic, juicy aroma of a chicken breast. All of that awesomeness without any extra oil or fat, which makes this recipe gold! :-) ---|
It's also a great cooking technique for almost any meat or vegetable that tastes better when cooked with own juices, keeping the moisture, aroma, and all vitamins inside. It's easy to use, makes great-tasting meal, what's not to love?!
When you make your own pasta, you will always end up with some scraps, even more if you make ravioli. You can easily recycle this leftover pasta to make maltagliati, meaning "poorly cut" in Italian, which was traditionally meant as food for the poor. We are way past that, and today you can enjoy rich texture and amazing flavor of your pasta without the social stigma ;-)
Honey meat ravioli
This delicious meal is amazingly easy to prepare, as long as you have a pasta machine and ravioli tablet — it's a small grid in which you can prepare ravioli "like a sandwich", then roll out the ready ravioli using a rolling pin. Super easy, and with just very little effort you will end up having a luxurious feast!

I sat down to enjoy this programme. Branding, marketing, the high street. Yes! I was so looking forward to another fly on the wall, from rags to riches offering from the BBC who are really getting rather good at these high street, life through a lens programmes. Only this time, it wasn't. Within ten minutes, I'd lost the will to live and to focus and even started contemplating strong and resilient coalitions. A good programme should have you riveted. But with 'High Street Dreams' I found time to write down my reactions to it, play with twitter and update my blog. GYAC, I can't do that during 'Desperate Housewives' or 'Flash Forward'.
Even scent goddess Jo Malone and the lovely leonine Nick Leslau couldn't keep me enthralled. They either cajoled or barked at the favoured businesses in the case of the former while Leslau had a more encouraging softly, softly catchee 'middle class monkeys making kitchen table burgers' routine. It was all distinctly meh.
My first quibble is that it strove to tell the audience the obvious. Consumers like nice branding, packaging that works, strong colours and have a short attention span so the product has to bite and relay the key brand messages in seconds. Leading swiftly on to no brainer number 2. It was no biggy to see that both parties (the lovely Mr Singh and his family and the ex City types, Worcestershire young farmers, Roland and Miranda) would have to step up to the mark quickly and change their attitude towards production and distribution. Despite this, it took a full 36 minutes of programme time to constantly reiterate what could have been covered in 5 minutes. During this time, I tended to concentrate wholly on Jo Malone's thin upper lip. Is that evil or was it just boredom?
Number 3 quibble comes courtesy of likability. We cared about Mr Singh and his eager family to make their product work and change their lives…less so about Roland and Miranda who even took a break to get married so they looked even more like they'd escaped a Hackett commercial, to make them more sellable as a commodity. 'Gosh, I'd never have believed we'd be the focus of a photo shoot for our burgers'. Really, Miranda? Your self marketing and story is all you had. It's rather difficult to make a burger stand out while every high street supermarket has them on offer. Aah, but these are special goat's cheese and sun dried tomato flavoured burgers and we're pitching to Waitrose. That'll make all the difference then. And, possibly, that's why you need a stereotypical, young 'go getting' farmer couple emblazoned on the product packaging of 'Muddy Boots' burgers. Flaunting their youth to temp consumers. Perfick.
Despite constant cajoling, Roland and Miranda were finding it hard to yank their burgers away from kitchen table production. "If we take the production away from our us, what have we got," moaned Miranda. Clue: the marketing, photo-shoot, Waitrose targeted audience etc etc. Ye olde poshe supermarket tends to know their onions and their beef burgers.
Mr Singh and his family were willing to place it all on the line for their chilli sauce, even following Mr Singh's slight stroke and hospitalisation. The branding company placed with this family were more on the case than the burger munchers. They homed in on the red turban, used bright colours and hit upon the idea that the hot sauce Mr Singh was selling could be used for a whole variety of purposes. Still, they only got to pitch to Asda. Which was a shame as it was a product much more in keeping and targeted to a supermarket such as Sainsburys.
Pre pitch and encouraging their respective teams, Mr Leslau came over as a genuinely nice guy. A big cuddly mentor. Jo came across as a business woman. She'd slap you on the back of the knees if you failed her in your presentation.
Of course, following each of the pitches to their respective supermarkets, they were accepted as sellable products, starting small but hoping to grow. No surprises then from a programme that was largely monotonous and seemed to go round and round in circles.
Whats more, next week, we get to see two more teams pitch business ideas. We don't get any follow up on Mr Singh and Roland & Miranda. Now that would have been a good idea. A business and product pitch from beginning to end to estimate it's success? Disappointed and badly thought out, BBC1. Any fool marketeer knows you have to keep the customer coming back to build loyalty and brand.

Groups and other upon prior notice
One of the main roads heading towards the soft hills of Slovenske gorice leads to Juršinci. Among vineyards, on a gentle slope above the centre of Juršinci, the first tourist farm in the north-eastern Slovenia opened its door in 1979. Marta and Simon Toplak, attached to the tradition of their families, who took a loving care of the home land through generations, offered the soil's gifts to their guests. The Toplak family takes good care of their guests in all respects. Stationary guests are offered bed and breakfast or half-board accommodation, comprising home cooking and premium wines from the home cellar. At all occasions cold dishes can be served, for example cold cuts from lard, sausages, lard, cheese spreads, homemade bread. Upon notice, groups are served hot dishes, homemade lunch, dinners by arrangement and various celebrations. At weekends, guests are served our grandmothers' native dishes "Prlekija Pot" and desserts from Prlekija (kvasenica, krapci, gibanica etc.) Various celebrations can be made more interesting by the tales of Autumn Queens from Slovenske gorice.
Various adventures lie in wait for the guests: in the queen's hall they can learn about the heritage of Slovenske gorice, activities of the villages, the origin, the customs. They can visit the farm, vine nursery production and the home cellar, where wine tasting is possible. The lady of the house gives lectures about the role and the mission of a housewife, which includes a visit of the housekeeper's home and a culinary exhibition as well as cooking courses about the preparation of seasonal – native dishes of our grandmothers. Guests can participate in the preparation of food. Workshops for creating flower arrangements and children's workshops "From grain to bread roll" are also organised. In the tea room you can learn about the healing effects of domestic teas. Along the hiking trail guests can walk to the Queens' Heritage Museum, the Agricultural and Puh's Museum. In the farm's pond and the ponds in the vicinity sport fishing is possible.
At the farm, you can buy wine, spirits, juices, honey, fruit, herbs, pastry and yogurts. Guests are welcome at various events, such as the Gratitude to Autumn in October, Housewife's Festival on 29 July, Cajzenbal or (featherball) on Shrove Tuesday, Rattle Song in villages at the beginning of August, Lovrenc Sunday (night under poplars).
Due to its diverse services and high quality, the MY HOME – TOPLAK farm received in 2010 an acknowledgment given by the Tourist Association of Slovenia for gaining the first place in terms of hospitality and originality of the farm.

"Agreed. Being 2001 an anomaly in many ways. The fact was stated BETWEEN 2001 - 2015 (these years being the "bookends") - so it was excluding 2001 and just counting the years of 2002-2014 perhaps."
After Krissy got up and stud infront of the door for a blowjon seconds and was rubbing and spreading her pussy lips, and grabbed her tits pushing them together and pinching her nipples.
"Alright what's for lunch," he said and Liz giggled. Joe who had his cock buried in Gingers sweet pussy had picked up speed as he b,owjob Jim hammering in and out of Kathy, He had released his grip on Gingers big tits and was totally concentrating on Ginger's, tits and pussy.
He had tan skin which stretched over toned abs and prominent pecs, his face was chiselled like a Greek God and was rounded off by slicked back dark hair that dripped water down his breathtaking torso.
Nothing intimate, until Julie made the move to grab Chloe's ass cheek. We all met for dinner at a local Chinese place, Nancy got introduced around, and we all seemed to hit it off well - dinner had a lot of laughs and we all drank zombies, which can be pretty lethal if Dwep not careful.

"Do you see?" Jalil asked, looking at Samantha with a grin. She gasped as I plunged into her and bottomed out, feeling nouth muscles gripping and massaging my shaft. 'No matter.

She instantly started gagging and stuggling frantically, which was all I needed to have a huge orgasm and shoot wads of semen down her thrlat.

Features March 2014 Issue
New Diabetes Medications Help Kidneys Absorb Less Sugar
The recently approved drugs may also help with modest weight loss.
Two new medications are available to individuals with diabetes that may help lower blood glucose levels and lead to moderate weight loss. The drugs approved within the last year by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration are SGLT2 inhibitors. They work by blocking the kidneys� reabsorption of glucose. As a result, more glucose is released in the urine and blood glucose levels come down. The medications, canagliflozin (Ivokana) and dapaglifozin (Farxiga), differ from many diabetes drugs that target the pancreas or the liver to improve insulin sensitivity, reduce insulin resistance or stimulate insulin secretion to lower glucose levels.
The drugs are also associated with moderate weight loss. �The weight loss is an appealing side effect of SGLT2 inhibitors, especially in the growing population of obese individuals with type 2 diabetes,� says Cleveland Clinic endocrinologist Mary Vouyiouklis, MD. �Aside from metformin, which occasionally results in modest weight loss, other oral drugs used to treate type 2 diabetes are weight-neutral or can cause weight gain.�

Openness and impartiality are welcome
I entered my polling station in Chekhov Street with a special feeling: my son used to study at the school which how houses the polling station, bringing positive feelings for this place where my countrymen were making their choice on that day
I entered my polling station in Chekhov Street with a special feeling: my son used to study at the school which how houses the polling station, bringing positive feelings for this place where my countrymen were making their choice on that day. After performing my civil duty and chatting to teachers we know, I decided not to indulge in nostalgia by visiting the neighbouring polling station in Griboedov Street. I could hear professional music, coming from the Minsk State Musical College. Its pupils can perform Beethoven's Ode to Joy, which is the anthem of the European Union and the Council of Europe.
This thought wasn't accidental, as my colleagues had informed me the observers from the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly should pay a visit exactly to this polling station. It happened so that almost on the doorstep, I faced James Walsh, the Head of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly Delegation, as well as Kent Harstedt, Special Co-ordinator and Leader of the Short-Term OSCE Observer Mission.

"How do you like our holiday?" I asked with a smile after the greetings.
I get the same laid-back, friendly response from James Walsh, the head of the delegation, "It was impossible to see the whole city, but all we have seen is wonderful. A lot of meetings take place, including with the representatives of the media and other organisations. Of course, people certainly looked very relaxed and calm."
However, such high ranking politicians are not the people with whom you can communicate on the move, so I ask politely to take few minutes to answer my questions. Despite the harsh prejudice accompanying press officers that supposedly journalists will get all the answers at a press conference, James Walsh and his colleague Kent Harstedt demonstrate openness to dialogue.
This episode seemed to me very important. Yes, the European observers will cover mountains of paper with writing, noting all features and intricacies of the elections. However, manuscripts are dead, unless they are not worth a European soul. The one which is sung in the Ode to Joy and that today should manifest itself in a Europe-wide solidarity, especially taking into consideration what is going on throughout Europe nowadays.
I thanked them for the opportunity to ask questions. "The OSCE Parliamentary Assembly is a very important structure in the implementation of the European dialogue. Please tell me, how do you assess the process today and how the Minsk peace process has improved the dialogue?" I wondered.
Kent Harstedt, Special Co-ordinator and Leader of the Short-Term OSCE Observer Mission:
This is a very big question; we can welcome the role played by Minsk as a site for peace talks. Of course, we are here because the elections are held. But I do not think anyone would mind if I say that the role played by Belarus as a host country of the talks was great. Of course, for Belarus a lot is at stake, so that in a region that surrounds it, peace and tranquillity will come.
Can we talk about mutual openness?
Of course. I think that the European countries want to be open not only for Belarus, but for many other countries. However, it must be something that is based on the fundamental principles. Meanwhile, I will not go into details, as I'm here to observe the elections, and we are not discussing politics. I think people in Europe want to see a good life in Belarus.
James Walsh, Head of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly Delegation:
I think that in Europe we have seen the consequences of many conflicts in the Middle East, and in Ukraine, and we're very concerned about this. We welcome the positive step Belarus has taken to host the peace negotiations. Of course, Belarus has attracted a lot of public attention, conducting such negotiations; however, it is important to say that now the attention is riveted to Belarus in connection with the elections. We want the elections to be held so that we could tell something good in the end and to avoid the events that took place in 2010 ... So attention that Belarus has now received, could not be neglected by anyone.
Thank you. We agree in the fact that we want to tell only good things to each other.

The district of Praga in the Polish capital of Warsaw has not always had the best reputation in the city but this is changing. With recent development in Praga with new building blocks and bars and restaurants opening across the Praga landscape its carm is shining through. A very big change coming soon is the Praga Koneser Center which will soon be one of the most important places on the cultural and business map of Warsaw. In the spring of 2018, the first Polish and the only Museum of Polish Vodka will be opened here, a must-have for all lovers of Polish Vodka.
Do you want to know more about the idea and the process of creating this unique place? Watch our videos!
Museum of Polish Vodka
The main theme of the exhibition, presenting the over 600-year history of vodka production in Polish lands, will be the local manufacturing tradition and world renown of Polish vodka. The concept for creation of the museum was the initiative of the Pernod Ricard Group, which has implemented similar ventures in other countries.
The concept for the exhibition space combines historical artifacts from the site and post-industrial architectural elements with multimedia and interactive presentation technologies, as well as exhibition of the museum collection.
Click to enlarge | Pictures from Muzeum Polskiej Wodki
Warsaw Vodka Factory "Koneser", originally Spirit Distillation Plant (Polish: Fabryka Oczyszczania Spirytusu), was established in 1897 on the initiative of the Polish-Russian Warsaw Society of Distillation and Sale of Spirits. In those days, on the premises of the factory, apart from industrial buildings, the factory complex included warehouses, workshops, residential buildings and a school. At the time the factory was one of the most technologically advanced production plants in Warsaw. The interwar period was the prime of the factory, which at that time was also referred to as the Monopoly. The factory employed more than 400 people, and its production capacity totalled at quarter of a million bottles of vodka a day. In the twenties of the twentieth century "Koneser" created universally recognizable vodka brands such as: Wyborowa, Luksusowa, Żubrówka, Żytniówka and Siwucha. The further development of the plant was disrupted by the outbreak of the WW II. As a result, the production was significantly reduced and subsequently stopped. In the late 1940s, after the Second World War and necessary revitalization of the factory, the production was resumed and it continued up to the last decade, when the worsening condition of the company led to the end of production and shutdown of the factory. Along with the acquisition of the land by BBI Development the idea of the Praga Koneser Center was born.
Design and arrangement of the Museum
The Museum of Polish Vodka will be a modern cultural and educational center for a wide range of Polish Vodka enthusiasts. The design and arrangement of all interiors was developed by the Nizio Design International team in collaboration with a group of experts. Where did they get the inspiration and how did the whole creative process take place? See what the project manager says, Mirosław Nizio.
You can keep up to date with the changes and news from Museum of Polish Vodka by following their Facebook page
More than only a Museum
Even though the factory has been closed for many years, the space has still be recently used. Praga Koneser Center is a complex of residential, office, cultural and entertainment facilities located on the premises of the former Warsaw Vodka Factory "Koneser". The complex is surrounded by Ząbkowska, Nieporęcka, Białostocka and Markowska streets from all sides.
The authors of the Praga Koneser Center project are three architectural firms: Juvenes Projekt Sp. z o.o., ARE Sp. z o.o and Bulanda & Mucha Architects. The execution of the project has been carried out by BBI Development Company. The Praga Koneser Center is the result of European architecture trends of blending post-industrial spaces with an urban fabric. The newly built buildings will be harmoniously integrated into the revitalized area of the former factory. Finalization of the project is scheduled for 2016, and the total value of the project is estimated at 460 million PLN

Praga Koneser Center project is a unique and the only investment of such kind in Warsaw. It includes revitalization and adaptation of post-industrial buildings of "Koneser" factory including old Kordegarda, Rectification, Filtration and Spirit Warehouse buildings, using authentic architectural elements of the factory. The remaining part of the site of the old factory will be filled with modern buildings. Inside the building complex there will be apartments, office buildings, galleries, a shopping arcade featuring renowned brands, restaurants and cafes, typical of modern urban areas. The complex will also have its own underground car park and video surveillance.
Koneser is located by the thriving Ząbkowska street, in the heart of Old Praga. 5 ha plot is becoming the lifestyle center of Warsaw. The architectural design for revitalization of Koneser includes adaptation of old post-industrial facilities and creation of contemporary buildings harmoniously reflecting the landmark urban fabric.
Entrepreneurship was always present in Koneser. Soon the place will become Warsaw center of creative business. Easy access from anywhere in Warsaw, inspiring architecture and the highest standards of more than 25,500 m2 of office space make Koneser the most original business address in Warsaw.
Explore the offer dedicated to food operators.
Carefully renovated historic Vodka Factory buildings next to a vibrant Ząbkowska street.
The first project in Warsaw joining shopping, culture, business and living.
6,000 sqm dedicated to gastronomy – a perfect place for gourmet restaurants, cosy cafes and trendy bars.

Some scary news from Real World Austin alumnae Melinda.
Melinda has found a home on MTV for years, and with all the love and support her appearances have generated, she was bound to get some unwanted attention. However, the extent of her unwanted attention is far outside the range of normal. Melinda has been receiving threatening messages a 25-year old woman from Grand Rapids, Michigan.
According to a news report, Melinda received threatening and profane e-mails and calls from the woman. The messages have also appeared at the dentist office where Melinda works. Local police have also received threats from the woman.
Wishing the best for Melinda, and I hope she remains safe. The woman is receiving felony charges of stalking and carries a maximum penalty of 3 and a half years in prison.

Work from previous exhibitions
"Very few people in this country think of the making of pottery as an art, and amongst those few the great majority have no criterion of aesthetic values which would enable them to distinguish between the generally good and the meretricious." (Leach,B. 1940)
Since I was a child I have been interested in "homecrafts" such as cooking, baking, sewing, patchwork, knitting and growing bulbs and garden produce.
My intention in 2002, prior to commencing the BA(Hons) Contemporary Applied Arts and then the MA Contemporary Applied Arts, was to enable me to gain the skills to make a living by selling what I enjoy making, using my interests as influence for form and decoration.
I graduated in 2009 having obtained BA and MA degrees in Contemporary Applied Art at the University of Cumbria, specialising in ceramic lighting during the BA degree and developing a new range of tableware during the MA degree.
I began to use porcn as the ceramic body as I liked the effect that the stark white body gave along with the natural translucency. It tends to distort during drying and firing which can be frustrating, but this effect can be used to my advantage to achieve unusual forms.
During the MA programme I looked at the process of slipcasting and exploring the use of innovative materials to make models and moulds, from which the ceramic pieces are formed. I had previously used mounting board to make the models and I am now using other innovative materials to produce shapes which change shape when the wet plaster or ceramic slip is added, which is part of the attraction as it becomes a different shape with its own small imperfections.
These techniques have now progressed and I now use textiles, mainly lace, and textured wallpapers in a collage form to form the decoration of the ceramic pieces. I have also recently developed a range of handbuilt pieces using a wrapping technique. These are also decorated using textiles or textured wallpaper pressed into the clay during the rolling out process.
The range of slipcast and handbuilt products include vases, tealights and hanging decorations.
I have shown my work at Potfest, British Craft Trade Fair, Country Living Scotland (Christmas show), Scotlands Trade Fair and many other selling fairs.

Fire type Pokemon are some of the most powerful and awesome looking Pokemon there are. They tend to be very offensive Pokemon, dealing high damage and burning their enemies to give them a good advantage. There's plenty of them to choose from, but we've put together 10 of the best.
We take into account stat total, stat distribution, evolution levels, rarity and difficulty to catch. (FYI The author is in no way a competitive battler, he's never even finished a Pokedex outside of the Kalos national dex)
(mega evolutions not included)
10. Ninetales
Starting off with a fan favourite, Ninetales is one of those Pokemon that you can't help but like. It evolves from the ever-popular Vulpix using a Fire Stone so it's quite easy to obtain in the games. The stats are well balanced, a 505 total favouring speed and special defence allow Ninetales to hold its own against other special attackers. The HP and defence is weak, so pull it away from any physical attackers. The default ability, Flash Fire, allows it to absorb any fire attacks and grow stronger, making it perfect to switch in for any Pokemon about to be blasted by a fire attack.
9. Magmar
I chose Magmar instead of Magmortar because Magmortar is way more difficult to obtain, Magmar can be obtained by levelling a Magby to 30 and that's all (or catching it). It is pure fire type (like Ninetales) so it has no extra weaknesses and just by looking at it you can see how awesome it is. The stat total of 495 is nothing special really, it is very attack/special attack/speed based with low defences and HP so expect it to deal a lot more damage than it can take. The Flame Body ability burns any foes if they hit you with a physical attack which is a nice way to make up for the low defences.
8. Typhlosion
Our first starter Pokemon of the list, Typhlosion is another pure fire type that you get as a starter in the Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal/HeartGold/SoulSilver games. It's a good, well balanced Pokemon that can use physical or special attacks to deal nice damage and the defences aren't too shabby themselves, so it can also take a few hits. A well rounded stat bonus of 534 (favouring special attack and speed) is a good combination and it's no surprise that many trainers hold this as their favourite Pokemon. I think, and this is where I might get a lot of hate, that it looks stupid when the fire is down, I mean look, it looks like a Snorlax that has lost a lot of weight.
7. Infernape
An awesome looking fire/fighting type, Infernape is the second starter on this list and is available in the Diamond/Pearl/Platinum games. It has a 534 stat total with very high attack/special attack/speed stats, meaning it can rip through entire teams with ease. Infernape's power is best shown here, although it is the anime and not the game, you can see why it makes it onto this list.
6. Moltres
Moltres is one of the legendary birds, the first fire type legendary we had and for some, the first legendary they had. Like all legendaries, it's a pain to catch but you don't have to go through anything really time consuming like you do with other legendaries (like Suicune). The stats are fairly low for a legendary at 580 but they're well balanced, it's essentially an Infernape (stat wise) but it has more defences/hp. It's a fire/flying type meaning it has that 4x weakness to rock and another weakness to electric, which is why it only reaches number 6 in this list.
5. Volcarona
For a while, we never had a bug/fire dual type Pokemon, we had electric, grass, poison, steel and even flying but no fire. Then Volcarona came along and it became an instant hit. A huge stat total of 550 made it viable in a competitive environment, the stat distribution gave it a lot of speed/special attack/special defence so it can really hold its own against almost any other Pokemon. Flame Body burns those pesky physical attackers and it has its own signature move, Fiery Dance, which is very powerful. It sounds perfect doesn't it? One thing though, it's not that easy to obtain. You have to level a Larvesta all the way up to 59 and you that Pokemon is rather difficult to obtain too.
4. Houndoom
I've never actually owned a Houndoom but it's one of those Pokemon that everyone loves. It evolves from a Houndour at level 24, Houndours are moderately difficult to obtain but with the amount of breeding that goes on you'll be able to find one on the GTS or if you have any friends who play, they might have one. Houndoom has an average 500 stat total favouring special attack and speed, it it also dark type so you have a lot of type coverage. I feel like much more could have been done with Houndoom although he did get a mega evolution, it would have been better if he had higher stats/better look to start with.
3. Arcanine
Arcanine is a great Pokemon, it has the highest stat total (excluding Moltres) out of any other Pokemon on the list at 555. Like Houndoom it's very easy to obtain, all you need to do is evolve a Growlithe with a Fire Stone so you can get an Arcanine on your team fairly quickly. The stats show it has nicely balanced defence/speed and small boosts to attack/special attack, but you can use Arcanine for whatever you need at the time. It's one of the tougher Pokemon you face when battling your rival in the Red/Blue games and because of this it has a pretty awesome reputation. It was thought that Arcanine would be a legendary Pokemon due to appearing on a stone depicting the three legendary birds.
2. Blaziken
The third starter on this list as well as the second fire/fighting type, Blaziken is a huge fan favourite and for good reason. His stat total is 530 which isn't bad, the distribution is pretty much the same as Arcanine but with more offence and less defence. Blaziken was the first fire/fighting starter we had and it started a trend of fire/fighting from there (Infernape and Emboar). Take advantage of Blaziken's hidden ability Speed Boost (which raises speed each turn) and you have a very powerful asset on your team.
1. Charizard
Had to be Charizard. This Pokemon is arguably the most recognisable out of any other (besides Pikachu). To a lot of players, Charizard was the first third evolution they had, whether it was before Mt. Moon or after getting the SS Anne ticket. It has a predictable starter stat total of 534, favouring speed/special attack which makes it a great attacker. It has dual flying type giving it bonus resistances to bug/grass as well as fighting, although it does adopt a weakness to electric. (Pokemon X/Y SPOILER) You choose a Kanto region starter in the newest games so it's easy to obtain if you want one, if not you can find a Charmander on the GTS very easily.
Hope you enjoyed the list!
