How Sotheby’s Head of Wine Seizes Opportunities

Jamie Ritchie lets us into his world, where unpredictable food and beverage business changes means opportunity.

Jamie Ritchie is the first to admit that he has been very lucky. The worldwide head of wine for Sotheby’s is a bit more reticent in that self-deprecating English way when it comes to admitting that it also took hard work, long days and late nights, and having the right skills at the right time that propelled him to the auction house’s top spot.

Ritchie was studying law in London, working at restaurants and bars on holidays, when he met John Forbes, “the man who would change my life. He was my godfather,” he recalls. Forbes saw Ritchie’s interest in wine and offered him a job as assistant manager of his restaurant.

The central London eatery was “a very English restaurant that was packed with lawyers and politicians who would have a traditional English lunch–steak and kidney pie, chicken Kiev, those sorts of dishes,” he laughs. There was, of course, the traditional wine list as well. Forbes sent Ritchie to the Wine & Spirit Education Trust where he earned a diploma.

Ritchie joined the restaurant group Brinkley’s in 1986, and by the time he left in 1990 it had 10 locations. “This was the late ‘80s in London. It was crazy. It was fun…It also gave me a solid foundation for learning the financial side of the restaurant business.

“The restaurant business is fun, but at the end of the day the money has got to end up in the till…So, it’s a very good way to learn about one of the less attractive issues of the wine business:  that things can disappear and bring value to other people–away from the restaurant as well as in the restaurant,” he says.

Chance Help-Wanted Ad Solidified Career Shift

Ritchie realized that he wanted to make a career in the fine wine end of the business. “That meant working for a wine merchant, a broker or an auction house.” He spotted an ad in The Times of London for an administrator in Sotheby’s wine department and got the job.

By 1993, he was auctioning some 75,000 bottles of wine from The Princely Collections of Thurn und Taxis in Germany. It remains the world’s largest wine auction by volume. In the intervening years he opened branches of Sotheby’s in New York and Hong Kong after each locality changed its regulations. Those regulatory reforms, he believes, have “caused a significant change in the price of wine.”

The New York changes broadened the market enabling “collectors to immediately sell their wine at market price…It enabled a much wider array of people to buy, invest, trade, enjoy wine. And from that point on, the American wine collector became the least price-sensitive from ’94 through mid-2008.”

Six months before Lehman Bros. collapsed in September 2008, Hong Kong eliminated all tariffs on wine. “The Asian buyer became the least price-sensitive and remains so today,” he says.  “Never underestimate the power of regulatory change.”

Auction Business Drivers

With offices in London, New York and Hong Kong and new customers in Asia, Latin America and Russia, Ritchie spends more than half of his time traveling. His team of about 35 “are all passionate about wine” and handle the $70 million to $90 million in annual sales the auctions generate.

The auction business is generally driven by the three Ds: death, debt and divorce. In wine “you add a fourth D–doctor’s orders.” While those factors certainly help to supply wine to Sotheby’s, so, too, do the decades of doing business with the same collectors.

“Many people, who may have started out as clients, have become friends. And that has been a natural progression throughout life. A lot of my friends buy and drink wine,” Ritchie says.

He sees the biggest opportunities for Sotheby’s in its retail operations in New York and Hong Kong, where the stores are separate from the auction side. They are also different from most other larger shops in that “we only sell wines that we like to drink and enjoy,” Richie says.

“I’m a strong believer in our ability to grow that business and I think right now is a very interesting time with Amazon buying Whole Foods. The changes in technology are affecting every business” and he sees them as opportunities.

Easy Wood Tools Easy Hollower No.2

Comments On Dec 28, 2014:I received this for Christmas. I had other hollowing tools but didn't use them because of the difficulty is keeping them engaged in the wood and the very bulk of the tool.
This tool is great I was able to use it thru a 5/8 in hole and the flat handle really improved control. I will be making hollow Christmas ornaments for next year now.

Election fraud scandal in Honduras

The Collective Honduras USA Resistencia = Libre Party, New York

To the national and international community:

1. The Collective Honduras USA Resistencia = Libre Party in the city of New York show in this document that on Nov. 18, 2012, our country Honduras was a victim of the  worst electoral fraud in its history, while carrying out primary elections, where the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE, for its initials in Spanish) implemented the computer  system of Transmission of Preliminary Electoral Results (TREP), the same system that was used during the coup to “elect” Porfirio Lobo Sosa as president, and inflated the figures when it was obvious that the polls were deserted. The same system has now been used in the recent primaries, a computer system costing millions that also uses cell phones to call the TSE from the polling stations and communicate the results of the voting.

2. We express our rejection to all forms of manipulation of mass media and polling agencies during the electoral process, and reject the lack of commitment to democracy and civil rights by the government institutions headed by Porfirio Lobo Sosa.

3. We reject that in the name of democracy they try to impose fictitious results, with the claim that this is to revive bipartisanship, which received its death sentence the very moment of the military coup on June 28, 2009, and received its epitaph with the resounding triumph of Xiomara Castro de Zelaya and the Libre Party (Freedom and Re-foundation), even while the bipartisanship system has altered the results of the Libre Party, trying to minimize its  success by subtracting votes it had obtained legitimately.

4. We reject all forms of fraud, including computer fraud, implemented by the TSE, which lacks all credibility by failing to ensure the security of the elections and allowing them to be an instrument of social domination and subjugation of the Honduran people, who since the coup have been inundated by a wave of killings: peasants, workers, teachers, youth, leaders of the National Popular Resistance Front and the libre Party.

5. We invite the citizenry to defend their vote in the general elections of November 2013. We demand the dismantling of the TREP system, and all rigged and obsolete forms that only help to commit fraud.

6. If you are a good teacher, teach students what happens in our Honduras: who are the traitors, thieves, and murderers, those who cheat and kill the people. Fill in along with the children the missing pages in textbooks, change what is false. Build a new conscious and courageous citizen, a human being concerned about their country and humanity.

7. We call on the international community: United Nations, Organization of American States, CELAC, and International Commission on Human Rights, not to abandon Honduras and be alert to developments there.  We demand for future elections the maximum number of observers at a worldwide level.

8. We Condemn: the fraudulent practices of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal of Honduras, through the TREP system, which would like to impose candidates on the Honduran people and, in turn, to minimize the ascension of the emerging Libre Party (Freedom and Re-foundation) and finally, we demand that those responsible for this electoral crime be brought to trial and be subject to the full force of law.

Darling Antique Composition head Bleuette with repro body 301 with repro Fripon

This is a wonderful composition head Bleuette made from 1951-54. Her head mark is FRANCE SFBJ 301 PARIS. She has blue sleep eyes that work and a brightly painted mouth (that may have been touched up-hard to tell). Her cheeks have a slight blush to them and her eyebrows are nicely painted. She has a carrot top mohair wig attached to an old cork pate. No cracks or flakes. She has a correct reproduction Bleuette body with no marks or damage.

She will come to you in an adorable reproduction sunddress with a matching felt jacket and hat with embroidery on it. She is wearing a sweet embroidered onsie and will come with white tights and brown Monique Maryjane shoes.

If that wasn't enough, she will come with her very own puppy, Fripon who is dressed in a matching felt jacket. Fripon is an adorable reproduction of Bleuette's terrier. I will also include a stand.

Bleuette is 28 cm long. This Bleuette was made in limited quantities and is hard to find.

Everything is from my personal collection which I am downsizing. From a non-smoking home. See my other auctions as I am selling off all my repro and antique Bleuettes and clothing. I do combine shipping.

Rare Cities Service Clover shaped gas globe.

Displays as a 10 each side. Good Base too.

I has seen these described as Milk Glass?

This globe had two tiny B-B holes on the edge that were carefully filled in and cannot be seen unless you look inside the globe.

The repaint covered the holes.

No cracks anyw

T are few of these known to exist and a good original would cost more than twice the reserve price. Reserve price is lower than the $3750.00 asking price when I bought this item last year from a very well know oil company collectable business who bought it and many many others from a private collection who had it for years and years I was told.

I just do not feel comfortable displaying this item on my outside 1928 Wayne visable gas pump. So I purchased a lesser priced Cities Service Koolmotor with original lenses that displays well and lets me sleep at night:)

I will use this money to upgrade my frame on my 1941 Ford Sedan Delivery to a new and complete TCI frame.

Should You Buy Skechers U.S.A. (SKX) Ahead of Earnings?
February 07, 2018

Read MoreHide Full Article

Investors are always looking for stocks that are poised to beat at earnings season and Skechers U.S.A. (SKX - Free Report) may be one such company. The firm has earnings coming up pretty soon, and events are shaping up quite nicely for their report.

That is because Skechers U.S.A. is seeing favorable earnings estimate revision activity as of late, which is generally a precursor to an earnings beat. After all, analysts raising estimates right before earnings — with the most up-to-date information possible — is a pretty good indicator of some favorable trends underneath the surface for SKX in this report.

In fact, the Most Accurate Estimate for the current quarter is currently at 14 cents per share for SKX, compared to a broader Zacks Consensus Estimate of 13 cents per share. This suggests that analysts have very recently bumped up their estimates for SKX, giving the stock a Zacks Earnings ESP of +7.69% heading into earnings season.

Skechers U.S.A., Inc. Price and EPS Surprise

Why is this Important?

A positive reading for the Zacks Earnings ESP has proven to be very powerful in producing both positive surprises, and outperforming the market. Our recent 10-year backtest shows that stocks that have a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better show a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and have returned over 28% on average in annual returns (see more Top Earnings ESP stocks here).

Given that SKX has a Zacks Rank #3 and an ESP in positive territory, investors might want to consider this stock ahead of earnings. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Clearly, recent earnings estimate revisions suggest that good things are ahead for Skechers U.S.A., and that a beat might be in the cards for the upcoming report.

MePlay's Description

Key On-Field Advances:

  • Incredible Response Times: Lightning fast controls allow users to instinctively react to every movement when the ball is in play
  • On The Ball Abilities: Take on defenders using each player's authentic dribbling skills, as opposed to relying on trick' moves. New skills include close control, responsive sprint and incorporating a much wider range of pace - from walking to sprinting
  • Case for Defense: Users have complete control over when to close down, tackle or hold up play. Successful defending is based entirely on the decisions the user makes

New Generation Highlights:

  • Behavioral Patterns: PES 2015 now boasts a huge array of players that both look and play like their real-life counterparts. KONAMI has faithfully recreated over 1,000 players with authentic animations and playing styles across its extensive player roster.
  • Poetry in Motion: The individuality of players is further enhanced with seamless animations. No sacrifice to animation has been made in the pursuit of fast response, yet the movements flow effortlessly calculated in real-time and dependent on the player's position in relation to the ball and its speed.
  • Bring the Noise: PES 2015 mirrors the atmosphere of a premier match. The crowd animations have been hugely enhanced, and the rhythm of a match is met with context-sensitive crowd effects and movements.

  • PES ID: Teams are designed to play as they do in real-life. Star players will work within this framework, and will be instantly recognizable via their runs and playing styles.
  • Realistic Abilities: While the world's greatest players are capable of moments of incredible skill, PES 2015 focuses on their abilities as players and not their flicks and tricks. Beating an opposing player during an attacking play will require using pace and close control. Only the most technical users will get away with rainbow flicks. And, even then, it may not work every time

 All-New Modes:

  • myClub: Demanded by series fans, an extensive Master League Online overhaul allows players and managers to be added using accumulated GP points or via micro-transactions within club dealings. Additionally, agents are now used to meet player requirement criteria, while unhappy players can be detrimental to a team.
  • Live Updates: Weekly DLC updates will constantly update transfers and team line-ups across the English, French, Italian, Spanish and Brazilian leagues. Player data is also updated based on current performances every week.
  • Adaptable Match Environments: A good manager knows how to give his side every advantage. As managers, players can request the grass be left long to slow down short play, or wet to suit a passing style. Players can tailor any part of their stadiums to suit their needs
  • Accurate Player Stats: After working with key community sites across the globe, the player parameter system for PES has been completely rebuilt with the most realistic player stats database
  • Second Divisions Added: PES 2015 vastly expands scouting databases as it now features the second tier leagues from England, Spain, Italy and France for the first time in the series
  • Role Control: Role Control allows three players to divide the defensive, midfield and attacking roles between them for more structured multiplayer action.
  • Real Managers: For the first time, real managers will be featured in PES 2015 across a number of European and Latin American teams.
  • New In-Game Currency: The GP system has been reintegrated. Earn GP within the new myClub mode and through unlocked in-game achievements
  • Unlimited Edit Modes: Stadium editor is back. Players will build their home pitch by choosing pitch patterns, side line colors, seat colors and goal net design. Other edit options include Manager Editor, new player editing options, and base copies for all players. Also, to compliment the return of Stadium Editor, new realistic licensed stadiums have been added
  • Presentation Overhaul: The menu system will be simpler and more effective. PES 2015 will also remember your preferred modes for quicker access.

Online Modes:

  • QuickMatch: Simpler ranking match-ups have been added to speed up online games
  • Online Divisions: Accrue points in online matches across a season to aim for a promotion or face demotion
  • Dedicated 11v11 Lobbies: Makes large-scale multi-player games more fluid and easy to set up
  • Cheat Measures: A new courtesy system has been introduced to reduce online cheating

 Additional Improvements:

  • Master League: Revised structure for player growth, transfers, managers and auto-match settings. New cut-scenes and National Super Cups implemented have also been added

Teeth whitening at home! (Giveaway)

17 Nov

My smile has always been something I have been proud of. As a kid, I was taken to the dentist regularly and am grateful for being raised with my teeth being a priority. As an adult I continue to visit the dentist regularly and have used at home whitening strips. Whitening strips were the only form of at home teeth whitening that I had ever used until Smile Brilliant reached out to me. I was so eager to try smile Brilliant! The main reason was the custom trays, unlike strips that only whiten the front few teeth, custom trays allow the whitening gel to contact all of your teeth. My only concern was my sensitivity that I’ve experienced before and that was quickly resolved with the Smile Brilliant desensitizing gel that I applied after I whitened. I felt NO sensitivity when I used it- I was pleasantly surprised.

smile brilliant2

Smile Brilliant has clear instructions and was very user-friendly. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for dentist office results in the comfort of your own home, and for a fraction of the price. I used Smile brilliant every night before bed which made it incredibly easy to squeeze into my busy lifestyle. As far as price goes, In office Dental whitening can cost upwards of $4oo compared to the Smile Brilliant system that is under $150.FullSizeRender (2)

Archives mensuelles de mars, 2011

Je viens de mettre en ligne une suite de mon roman bdsm Un emploi d’été.

Vous trouverez ici le chapitre 2: « Un bel objet ».

Bonne lecture!

Three years in a row I had been at that kinky event, and three years in a row I had contemplated it. I had seen it being carries around the room, depending on the needs of the other participants, I had seen other alluring queer women come in and out of it, I had seen people have sex on it or around it, be spanked, paddled and caned over it, sucking the whole spectrum of cocks through its bars. I had even watched a scene in which a woman had her long thick hair tied to it. Oh, and that extended scene where another woman has been peacefully lying in it almost all night long under the auspice of her sadistically benevolent top. I had been around the room myself, flogged on the table, whipped on the cross, fucked on a rug, and, a couple of times, I had been seen crawling on the floor, on the other end or not of a leather leash, but I had never been put in the cage.

I had looked at it closely and I knew its every details. It was not your regular dog cage, the foldable kind that you can conceal when you have guests coming. This was a dungeon, and the cage felt real, stable, impossible to fold and hide, resolute, definite, extremely appealing. Really, more than a cage, it was a small cell, with strong vertical bars on all sides including the door, and more bars on the top. The particularly attentive maker had even thought of putting a padded purple lining so the little pet or bad girl or slave locked in it could enjoy some comfort. I liked its cold bars and the metallic clunk of its door when it was being shut closed. I craved to be behind… within those bars, on the other side of that heavy door.

So, when my owner asked me what I was fantasising for the play party, I did not miss a beat and immediately replied: “The cage.” The other details did not matter much to me as long as they revolved around the cage. If I remember well, she just smiled and nodded.

So here I was, waiting by the cage. I had run to it the minute it had become available, because in that crowded space I did not want to miss my turn. Now I was waiting for them to come back. Them both, I mean, my owner and my girlfriend who, in this particular world I live in, are not the same woman. They would be two to cage me tonight, and I would watch two sets of feet walking around the cage when lying in it. Provided I did, because I was aware that I had no power over what would happen next. I could just hope that my plea had been heard.

I had expected my two torturers to beat around the bush, so to speak, that is, to leave me unbeaten around the cage for a while. But I guess they both knew how much I craved it, or maybe they craved to see me in it, for the minute they were back, standing next to the cage, with me standing in front of them in my shiny fetish outfit, they told me… to get undress. Or my owner told me and my girlfriend nodded in agreement. To take off my fishnet shirt, to remove my leather chest harness, to let go of the black kilt, to lower my black panties and pass them over my boots. Those I was to keep. And then, without further ado beside putting a bit in my mouth and buckling it behind my head, oh, and putting a collar around my neck, they ordered me on my knees and told me to crawl into the cage.

The cage was small but could accommodate my whole body. Standing on my hands and knees, I had my head touching one end when the door closed on my feet. But suddenly, it was like the whole world was obliterated, muffled by the bars of the cage. I felt as comfortable as I my moves were restricted, and as I was aware that they could, at any moment, slide their arms and feet and toys through the bars and that there would be nothing I could do to escape their caresses or their strokes. I was theirs, in the space of that cage more than anywhere else. Their drooling captive little thing to use, to beat, to fondle, and to neglect if they so felt inclined. And all along the way I trusted them to use, beat, fondle and even leave me waiting me just the way I needed it which is always my owner’s ways. I could only moan and make indistinct sounds because of the bit that was gagging me.

Everything, from the cage, felt blurred, but I have flashes of vivid memories. I remember a flogger, through the bars of the cage, that I received on my back, on my ass, both soft and harsh strokes, both leather caresses and bites that made me moan and wiggle and scream and want to move away from the pain—but of course there was no way out and I knew I had to send my body back towards the lashes. I recall a foot in the cage, my owner’s, under my lips, that I kissed and licked and would have kissed and licked forever, my nostrils close to the leathery smell of her boot, my drooling mouth making it wet. I have various memories of hands on me with no possibility for me to evade then—had I wished to. And between the fondling and the whipping and the beating and the more tender caresses, I could feel their kissing and fondling each other outside of the cage, and I had thoughts and images of the two of them fucking over my head, coming in my face as I was lying helpless in the cage.

Eventually, I was told to get out of the cage. When they spread my blanket on the padded lining of the cage, I knew what might be coming. Why would they bother to protect the furniture if that was not against the messy slut they were toying with… Or maybe their juices would drip all over me in the cage? My brain stopped spinning again when they sent me back in the cage on my back.

Being in that new position made me feel even more vulnerable. I was lying on the floor, in the bottom of a cage, with my owner and my girlfriend looking down on me, and they could have walked on me and I could not have escaped. She, my owner, walked on me. She slid a foot between two bars and pressed her boot on my face and on my chest, making my head light under the pain. She stuck a cock in my mouth after taking the bit off. I could watch the two of them kiss and being closed to each other as I lied on the floor. Soon they were sitting on the cage, my girlfriend was pressing her body against my owner’s—in that special world where my girlfriend can top my owner. Then flogging her, flogging me too with each stroke. The leashes were brushing against my bare pussy, sending waves of desires through my body, but all I could do was remain there, helplessly and desperately moving my pelvis back and forth to sooth away the desire and, in fact, only nurturing it.

And then, when I thought I would die of unfulfilled cravings, my owner directed her attention to my cunt. She did not insert her fingers or her hands, she did not use a dildo. No, from outside of the cage, she slid a condom on a stick, her holly pagan walking stick, and shoved the covered end in my cunt. Up to the hilt. And I welcomed it, opening my legs even wider, with my feet on the bars to offer full access to my wet pussy that was and is always hers.

And then commenced the long process of playing with my cunt with the stick, filling it wide and deep, and teasing it with its wooden volume. And all that time, they were kissing and fondling each other, only minding my exposed body to fuck me deeper and deeper, almost matter-of-factly. Also hitting the stick, which sent waves into my cunt, arousing it even more. And suddenly, while I had forgotten almost completely about the crowded space since I had entered the cage, I was suddenly aware of the people around, of all those leatherdykes who could witness what was happening to me, what turned me on. I was there, on my back, with my cunt in the air, being fucked like a—what? A slut? A whore? A dirty bitch that is craving to be filled with anything that comes handy. With the stick inserted between the bars of the cage, which my owner was thrusting in and out of my cunt, bringing me to the verge of coming. And I lied there, whimpering, begging softly to be allowed to come, overwhelmed by the sensations in the midst of my body, contained by the cage. And when I finally heard my owner granting me permission, I came hard with my juice oozing from the tiny interstice between the wood of the stick and the walls of my cunt, and oozing even more when the stick came out of my hole before diving back.

I came for a long time, in pulsing, constant gushes, making the blanket wet and pungent with my fluids. Even when I was ordered out of the cage, still on the blanket, I came holding my owner’s leg with mines, my pussy rubbing against her shin, feeling more than ever like her bitch in heat, shameless. Only because I am also a reasonable girl and knew she had to leave did I stop coming.

I was left in good hands, in the arms of my sweet girlfriend, who held in her hand the collar that, at some point, I did not remember when, had been removed from my neck. On the couch I sat with her, for a long time, my thoughts still a bit foggy, still sighting the now empty cage from the corner of my eyes, wondering when I would have a chance to go back between its bars.

Best Campaign Message: CANCELLATIONS! (top tweets)

Join us on Twitter most weekdays at 8 and 10 a.m. ET.
Don’t miss:
– #SinglePayer Monday most Mondays 10 a.m. ET
– #FreeMarketFriday most Fridays 10 a.m. ET

With all the attention paid to rising premiums under Obamacare, you could be forgiven for thinking that price insanity is the most powerful message you have at your disposal at the moment.  However, we put out what we thought was an innocuous little tweet Thursday but it struck a chord and quickly became one of our most popular tweets ever:

1.4 million betrayed Americans receiving cancellation notices now. “You can keep your plan” – #LIARS

Twitter is an intriguing little laboratory for seeing what messages work in the real world. It’s your own little focus group. So here are other OCTS tweets on cancellations for use in your campaigns (some are from before, some will be rolled out on our Twitter feed on Monday at 8 a.m. ET):

“A Shocking Number of Obamacare Enrollees Are Set to Lose Their Plans in 2017”

So what if so many insurers are fleeing Obamacare? Millions told: ‘You Can’t Keep Your Plan’!

More plan cancellations coming. Transitional grandfathering rules expiring Oct ’16. More ‘you can keep your plan’ lies in the making.

O-admin refuses to divulge number of people cancelling Obamacare plans; will slam them into new plans

Upheaval in Colorado as 92,000 plans cancelled (3rd or 4th for some).  #YouCanKeepYourPlan

#ObamacareRoulette – switching doctors when ACA plans cancelled can interrupt medications

Obamacare Full Disclosure bill (HR 4058) would require transparency if policy cancellation due to ACA

IP4PI @IP4PI May 7
Last year @HorizonBCBSNJ Cancelled our Ins to raise price. This year @Aetna cancelled our insurance to raise price. Thanks @ObamacreTrthSqd

Small biz owner hurt by #ACA – premiums doubled, deductibles tripled, plans canceled every yr. #ReaPeopleRealPain

U can flim-flam by saying ‘subsidies cover premium hikes’, but u can’t cover up 1.4 MILLION cancellation notices going out right now.
