As a dark skinned woman, I’ve had to deal with negative perceptions of African beauty from a very young age. Not only was there a huge lack of representation of women in the media who looked like me, but the most hurtful experiences came from people within my own community.

MISS REPRESENTED is a photo series that fights ideas of colorism by celebrating Afrocentric beauty, body positivity, sisterhood and self-esteem. The women in this campaign share how skin tone bias has affected their personal and professional lives and how these experiences have helped to shape their identity.

For centuries Black women around the globe have been misrepresented. My hope is that these stories and visuals will help shift the perception of Afrocentric beauty around the world and evoke pride in women who have been negatively affected by colorism. This project will travel the world sharing their stories.

Pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet Brings Dazzling Concerto to Seattle Symphony

Pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet (Photo by Andrew Eccles)

For Opening Night, Ludovic Morlot and Jean-Yves Thibaudet team up with the Seattle Symphony for a powerhouse program that thrills from colorful opening to rousing finale.

By Andrew Stiefel

Music Director Ludovic Morlot has chosen two Russian showpieces to celebrate the start of the Seattle Symphony’s 2018–2019 season at the Opening Night Concert & Gala on September 15: Modest Mussorgsky’s colorful Pictures at an Exhibition and Khachaturian’s virtuosic Piano Concerto.

Despite the program’s Russian roots, however, the night has a distinctly French influence: Morlot has invited fellow Frenchman and audience favorite, pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, to join the orchestra for Khachaturian’s rarely performed Piano Concerto. And Mussorgsky’s opulent suite owes a debt to French composer Maurice Ravel.

Pictures at an Exhibition

One of his most celebrated works, Mussorgsky composed Pictures at an Exhibition in 1874 to honor his close friend, Russian architect and painter Viktor Hartmann, who passed away unexpectedly at the age of 39. The original piano suite depicts an exhibition of Hartmann’s watercolors with each of the ten atmospheric movements evoking one of Hartmann’s images.

Mussorgsky’s piano suite was not published until after the composer’s death in 1881, but once it was released, the music almost immediately inspired attempts to arrange the work for orchestra. It wasn’t until Ravel undertook a commission from Serge Koussevitzky to arrange Pictures for the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1922, however, that a concert hall favorite was born.

From the trumpet solo in the opening of the Promenade to the dark woodwind tones evoking a chant in the catacombs, Ravel’s keen ear for orchestral color transformed Mussorgsky’s black-and-white piano miniatures into a series of multi-hued and powerful vignettes. The fifth portrait, Ballet of Chicks in their Shells, features some of Ravel’s most playful and charming music:

Khachaturian Piano Concerto

To conclude the concert, Morlot has invited Thibaudet to perform Khachaturian’s equally sparkling Piano Concerto. Written in 1936, Khachaturian’s concerto is heavily influenced by Armenian folk music, as is evident in the concerto’s rhythmic games and distinctive harmonies, never mind the sheer virtuosity of the music.

“I wanted Jean-Yves to come back, especially after being our artist in residence during the 2015–2016 season,” commented Morlot. “Khachaturian’s Piano Concerto is brilliant and thrilling, but it’s one that most people aren’t familiar with yet. There’s no better ambassador for this music then Jean-Yves.”

For those who wish to continue the evening, the concert will be followed by a gala celebrating Morlot’s final season and the 20th anniversary of Benaroya Hall. Gala packages can be reserved by calling 206.215.4753.

Experience the excitement and glamour of Opening Night with Music Director Ludovic Morlot and pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet on September 15!

Bendi Australia

Rochford Garden Machinery Gains Over 30% More Pallet Positions With Bendi

Rochford Garden MachineryFounded in 1976 by company principal Peter Rochford, the company was originally a garden machinery retailer.

Following continued growth the business began distributing products to other dealers in the area, and eventually to its current national dealer network of over 1000 specialist dealers.

Rochford Garden Machinery prides itself on a wealth of resources, customer service, spare parts and technical support and with a strong belief that service is second to none. By taking pride in everything they do and ensuring that that their customers receive high levels of service and support, the RGM business has seen rapid growth over the last 3 years which as a result led to challenges in the Warehouse facility.

"As the product range increased it became all to obvious that we needed to change the profile of our storage to allow for the new products and to free up additional floor space. New products were arriving in containers but as most of the pallets spaces were taken, or we couldn’t access them, we had no option but to store them on the floor in the aisles which gave us problems with stock access, rotation, picking and a potential health and safety hazard."

Martin Haselup, Trade Sales Office Manager.

RGM turned to their materials handling partners and after conducting a detailed site and operational survey made a number of recommendations including replacing the existing reach truck with a Bendi Articulated Forklift Truck and reorganising the racking layout to reduce the aisles from over 3m to 2m, but as Martin explains there were a few initial concerns.

"The thought of reducing the aisles by a third and operating with a type of truck that was unknown to us was a little daunting at first but any concerns we had were soon forgotten when we saw the Bendi in action and realised just how versatile it could be for our warehousing operation. We needed a truck that was easy to operate and would allow us to optimise storage density whilst at the same time permit fast and efficient individual pallet accessibility – and the Bendi was the answer."

The new warehouse layout, which was achieved by utilising some of the existing racking together with brand new components has resulted in a storage capacity increase of over 30% as the number of pallets stored has grown from 1000 to over 1300; and the aisles which are now completely free of pallets and obstructions allow for a safer and more efficient picking environment.

The Bendi model chosen for the operation is the B318 - a 3 wheel truck that has excellent visibility and unrivalled stability as it easily accommodates loads of 1800kg up to a height of 9m without any special floor requirements. The unique 220 degree steering means that the Bendi will operate in the tightest of aisles and is equally at home unloading vehicles outside on yards as it is working in warehouses and production areas.

Although capable of working in a 1.8m aisle with a 1.2m deep pallet, the aisle was set at 2m once the optimum storage capacity was achieved thus increasing operating speeds even further.

The transition to Bendi from Reach and Counterbalance was made simple with all of the operators attending a driver training conversion course, and one of them in particular achieved a 100% pass rate.

"The Bendi has revolutionised the way in which we operate. The new layout and additional capacity means that pallets can be taken direct from the delivery vehicle and straight into the racks into predetermined locations and the whole operation of handling 30+ pallets only takes between 30 to 45 minutes. Clear aisles also mean that we can pick and operate more efficiently in a much safer environment and ensure that the products are delivered to our customers, accurately and on time. All in all we believe the change has created a more efficient system both allowing for future growth and enhancing customer service."

Cut Costs By Way Of Contracting Out Internet Marketing Responsibilities

Promoting is a complex duty that should never be carried out by someone who doesn’t necessarily have the needed abilities and knowledge. Regrettably, numerous business owners simply don’t possess the understanding essential to efficiently promote their business. Any time here is the case, business owners can subcontract these kinds of activities to a organization that are experts in promoting. Having an outsourced marketing agency may help a small business successfully use their resources. Because by outsourcing, a company is not going to need to employ a expert marketing expert or even invest countless hours studying all the things they’d need to find out so they can bring in new customers, business people can easily center their hard work in the activities they are skilled in so they can get the most from their limited means. An online content marketing agency may help a whole new organization build a website content method they could effortlessly put into practice and look after. New content articles are an effective way for the website to rise above the crowd by search engines. By using this strategy will help a business obtain free website traffic and so save on promotion. Most of these cash can be allocated to projects that tend to boost the business’s profits as well as expand its contact to much more consumers. The money a business can save by not undertaking internet marketing internally may result in elevated revenue and visibility.

Closing Costs – The Seller’s Perspective

In an earlier blog post, we went through the closings costs for a buyer.  Sellers also have closing costs associated to them.  Both buyers and sellers have different closing costs and each will pay their own respective closing costs.  The respective lawyers will handle making the appropriate payments and will then provide you with one final bill you owe to them.

In this post, we’ll take a closer look at the closing costs for a seller.  As a seller, you can expect the following closing costs:

  • Early Mortgage Discharge Penalty
    • This is charged by your bank, as a penalty for breaking the mortgage term early. The penalty will differ based on the type of mortgage term.  Variable and Fixed terms have different penalties. Fixed rate mortgage terms have to pay the greater of interest rate differential (IRD) or 3 months interest, while variable rate mortgage terms only pay 3 months interest.
  • Mortgage Discharge Fee
    • This is a “good-bye kiss” fee charged by the bank to prepare all the paperwork and documentation.
  • Real Estate  Commissions
    • Usually, the seller pays both of the real estate commissions.  The listing brokerage prepares your home to be sold.  They list and market the property and review the offers received.  The co-operating or buying brokerage represents the buyer in the transaction.
  • Lawyer Fees
    • The real estate lawyer handles the closing of the real estate transaction. They ensure all the paper work is done correctly and all parties are paid out accordingly.  They charge a fee for their professional services.
  • HST on Real Estate Commissions & Lawyer Fees
    • As always, you have to pay government taxes on the services
  • Disbursements
    • These are charges that depend on various scenarios.  Some of the charges you will see in the disbursements are unpaid property taxes or utility bills, courier fees, photocopying, etc.

Normally, these closing costs are deducted from the amount owed to you by the lawyer’s office from the proceeds of the sale of your home. If the closing costs are higher than the net amounted from the sale of your home, you will be responsible for paying the remaining portion.

Surprised? Well, at least now you know what costs to expect when you are selling.  Remember, closing costs can differ based on each scenario.

Are you thinking of selling, but not sure how much it’s going to cost you to sell? Do you want to know what closing costs you might incur? Let’s sit down and review them together.  Allow me to help you plan for these costs!

Hi Kathy - You are doing things right - I am a fan of bodyweight and dumbbells while doing HIIT and circuits, etc. You don't need to do the traditional free weight workout... BUT you do want to make sure you are challenging yourself enough to feel your muscles working - if you can go a little heavier, do it! Also - I don't know how much weight you have to lose - if it's only a few pounds - those are the hardest. However, if you have a lot of weight to lose and the scale isn't budging - you are doing a good amount of exercise - I would really analyze what you are eating - that is at least, if not more than 50 % of the equation. Have you checked out the Ultimate Healthy Eating Guide that you received when you signed up for Get Healthy U TV? If you need a copy, email help@gethealthyu.com
Great question. We almost always get our grass-fed bones from the farmer’s market. We traveled around the country living out of an RV for the past year, and have been able to find great pastured beef bones at farmer’s markets just about everywhere we go. To make it easier, though, when you find a good source, stock up on the marrow bones and freeze them for later.
"People tend to gain weight steadily, on average -- not everybody -- and get more fat and tend to lose lean mass up to about age 65, and then what happens is that there's a downward trend: Now people start to kind of slowly lose weight -- again, not everybody, but the trend is that as you get older -- the general population I see is in the 70s and 80s -- they tend to lose weight," says Michi Yukawa, MD, MPH, acting instructor in the department of medicine and the division of gerontology and geriatric medicine at the University of Washington in Seattle.
Gwyneth Paltrow famously turned to a macrobiotic diet in 1999, partly because of her dad’s illness (he died in 2002 from complications from oral cancer), but also because Leonardo DiCaprio planted the seed of “how dirty meat is” in her head years ago.  She doesn’t give her kids gluten, she avoids dairy, and pesticides are a no-no. But, see, there's nothing wrong with a weekend treat. For her, it’s cigarettes and booze.  It’s all about the ying and the yang, people.
Brenda stated exactly what so many women have struggled with in the past, including me. As a doctor of gynecology, I frequently get 40-something women in my office working through self-sabotaging menopausal issues including hot flashes, low energy, near-zero libido, weight gain, and weight loss resistance. Hormonal imbalances contribute to many of these problems. When hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) nose dive, you’ve got the perfect storm for menopausal miseries. But it doesn’t have to be this way!

healthy weight for 40 year old woman

One of the most admired and revered women in India as well as in the world. Through her successful career, she has established herself as one of the most popular and influential women in India. Rai has received numerous awards and accolades, and she was also awarded the Padma Shri by the Government of India in 2009. No doubt, she’s the “most beautiful woman in the world”.

Having a salad for lunch or dinner fills you up with belly-flattening fiber and nutrients, and adding one more ingredient will really stoke your metabolism: salmon. You already learned the metabolism-boosting effects of protein, but with salmon in particular you'll also get a dose of omega-3 fatty acids. In a study published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, supplementing diets with fish oil for six weeks increased lean muscle and decreased fat. Other studies have shown similar effects. Scientists speculate this reaction may be due to fish oil's ability to reduce levels of fat-storage enzymes in the body.

The women of "The Wonder Years" defy that myth with their deeply personal stories of reality and gravity, grace in loss, hard won wisdom, and strength. Stories that bring to mind a woman many know: "She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come." (Proverbs 31:25) The Wonder Years is a chorus of laughter, tears, resolve, and adventure. If you're in or even nearing these wonder years, this powerful book is both a travel guide and companion. Don't miss it!

Although you shouldn’t go to bed starving (that presents its own sleepytime problems), you also shouldn’t hit the sack completely stuffed. When you eat a large meal before bed, your body works to digest it long into the night — and if your body is still worked up, so are you. The later you fall asleep, the less rest you’ll get, and you’ll wake up feeling groggy and more likely to reach for calorie-dense items. We know that you’re still cool, and you’d like to eat dinner at a more fashionable hour, but supping on the earlier side could be a huge boost to your weight-loss goals. (And avoid these 30 Bad Habits That Lead to a Fat Belly!)

exercises to avoid over 40

Whole grains, vegetables, fruits, beans and legumes, fresh herbs and spices provide the proteins, carbohydrates and fats that give you energy and even blood sugar levels. Healthy fats (olive oil, avocado, fish oils, seeds, nuts, soybeans) promote longer-lasting, stable energy levels. Lean proteins (fish, soy foods, white meat poultry, lean meats and low-fat dairy) offer essential proteins for better digestion and muscle building.

how to jumpstart weight loss after 50

The truth: Different-colored foods do often provide different nutrients, so the temporary plan might help encourage you to try new things that you might otherwise ignore, from purple yams to emerald green kale. If you start by eating one color of fruits and veggies every day, you can establish a healthy habit of incorporating color into your diet, but don't forget the protein and whole grains.
"The kind of physical activity that people are choosing to do in their 40s is nowhere near as intense as it's supposed to be. So to get over that metabolic speed bump we ask for an increase in intensity on the part of these happy campers. What does that mean? Instead of walking on the flat, throw in some hills. Ramp up the resistance on your resistance training, or for that matter the resistance on a cross-trainer. It's all the same."

improving metabolism after 40

Nope, the rule isn’t to only eat half of what’s on your plate. It’s that half of your plate should always be made up of veggies and is #3 on our list of 10 Genius Ways to Lose 10 Pounds in 2016. This rule is most effective when you eat all the veggies, first. You’ll feel fuller faster, longer, and be less likely to go for seconds. As always, don’t fret about cleaning your plate or wasting food; it will go to waste whether you eat it or not!
There’s another huge reason to cut back on bovine: “One in three men over 40 will die from heart disease, and eating more of a plant-based diet is the best way to optimize endothelial nitric oxide levels for cardiovascular protection and health,” says Kominiarek. In fact, a Mediterranean diet particularly heavy in healthy fats—olive oil, eggs, nuts, fatty fish—lowers your risk of not only heart disease, but also type 2 diabetes and certain cancers, according to a new study analysis in the Annals of Internal Medicine. That’s three of the top 10 causes of death for American males that you can reduce your risk of just by eating less meat and more healthy plant-based fats.
Here’s how to rock a Wild Workout: Warm up with light cardio, mobility, and dynamic stretching (at least 60 seconds).  Work out and get your blood pumping for 20 seconds, followed by 10 seconds of rest.  Repeat 10 times for a total of 5 minutes. You can do simple exercises like jumping rope or pedaling as hard as you can on a stationary bike. If you’re more athletic, try burpees or hill-sprints.  Do whatever full-body movement is best for you—but do it as hard as you can and don’t forget the 10 second rests (hint: if you’re doing it right, you definitely won’t forget to rest between sets!).
Taking shots of cheap whiskey, sleeping on futons, staying up until 4 in the morning—there are a lot of habits you’re probably happy to leave to your 20-year-old self. But the beautiful mystery of eating a whole pepperoni pizza and actually losing five pounds? Those are glory days worth mourning. Once you’re over 40, suddenly ditching a few pesky lbs and losing your gut seems to take monumental effort.

an opportunity to be brought up in a christian environment.

Tuesday, December 15, 2009

The other day whilst attending the birthday party of Atty Nacua I had the opportunity to visit the Rubber Plantation Project at Bethany that we started at the beginning of this year. The trees are really beginning to grow now with the majority over 2 meters tall. We will plant a further three hectares of seedlings next wet season to bring the plantation up to six hectares.
It was always my intention to have a minimum of ten hectares of rubber plantation so we are getting closer to our target with God’s grace and the financial support of our friends and colleagues without which this idea would never have been started.
Please also read about how we have progressed since we started our Rubber Plantation Project here, here, here, and here. If anyone reading this wishes to contribute to our Rubber Plantation Project please contact me by email for further details.

Climbing With Kids: Climbing in Fontainebleau

I always envisioned myself becoming one of those “cool” parents. You know, the kind of parent who takes her child everywhere. The kind of parent whose child has visited more foreign countries than you can count. The kind of parent who, at the drop of a hat, could buy a ticket online, pack everything into an impossibly small duffle, and zip off on a light and fast adventure around the world. To me, those kinds of parents always seemed like the cool, groovy, relaxed people that, surely, I would be.   Being...

There are things about big-wall climbing that you rarely read about in magazines. Climbing through sticky, urine-stained cracks. Avoiding the fly-ridden poop that is smeared on your foot hold. And being just so tired that you clip your helmet strap into the anchor to hold your head up while you try to get a few minutes of shut eye before the strap cuts off all circulation to your head, and it’s time to climb again.   Basically, I tell my partners to count on at least one meltdown per route.

I've written a bit about my prolonged physical recovery from childbirth, but not as much about my battle with my many anxieties in the aftermath of Theo’s birth.

It just happened. But the mental stuff—well, shouldn’t I be strong enough, sane enough, capable enough, of controlling how I feel? I'm a professional climber, I should be in...

Her profession has taken her around the world, and her resume includes big mountain ascents (Everest, Ama Dablam) and hard rock routes (first female ascents of 5.14's). As a professional climber myself, I was curious about her thoughts on starting a family with such a busy lifestyle. As a mother, I was equally curious about her thoughts on starting climbing/skiing as a kid. She was part of the generation that started...

Climbing with Kids: Susie Christensen Interview

breastfeeding issues, and the thought of doing the Nose in a day blew my mind. Susie was kind enough to do an amazing, informative, and humble interview. I hope you all are as inspired as I am!!!After I did my interview with Jim Herson, he mentioned that I should interview his friend Susie who had just done a lactating ascent of the Nose. I was still pretty early postpartum and dealing with   Tell me a little about yourself and your history with climbing.   Let me just start off with my favorite quote...

Climbing With Kids: Injuries and trips

As the Dawn Wall excitement exited the Valley, Theo and I got back into our quiet routine in Yosemite. California’s dry and warm weather unfortunately continued, allowing me to keep climbing and start ramping it up. My body slowly felt like it was getting back into my all too familiar climbing rhythm - albeit at a much more reduced level. I actually was able to climb with people during the “climbing” part of their day, not just the “warm up” part. It felt beyond incredible to feel like I was...

Climbing With Kids: The Dawn Wall, Yosemite’s Only Winter Storm

Once Theo was able to sit up by himself and commando crawl through the dirt and pine needles of Camp 4, it became a lot easier for me to take him bouldering and do my little slab circuit. He’d end each session covered in dirt, but pretty happy as well. I’ve been trying to heed Jim Herson’s sage wisdom that, “You can’t make kids like climbing. You can only make them NOT like climbing.”   Indeed. Climbing and Contentment. Two of our most basic, natural states as human beings. To not be...

Climbing with Kids: Breastfeeding

I’ve received so many questions about my breastfeeding issues that I thought it’d be worth talking about in a dedicated post. (Sorry, guys, this one probably isn’t for you!)   Breastfeeding certainly hasn't been an easy road for me, and I've learned that it isn't necessarily an easy road for every mom. Had I known that others struggle with this, I wouldn’t have been so hard on myself. I didn’t do a ton of research about breastfeeding, thinking this aspect of motherhood would just “flow” naturally, so to speak.   When I was first...

The first one features Guy J on Dec 18, 2015, and a little insider information tells us that many more huge names are to come for the Atlanta techno lovers. Check back with us often and we will be releasing their names as soon as we are allowed. Tickets to Expand with Guy J are $15, so follow that link to get yours now.

Here is information about Expand with GUY J from Liquified:

Expand is an all new TECHNO, HOUSE & UNDERGROUND event that takes us back to the basics of dance music with the philosophy of a dark room, a massive sound system and some proper mind numbing tunes!

Housed in a legendary 10.000 sq ft warehouse -home of our very first Atlanta show back in 1994 – eXpand gives a nod to the past and looks to the future focusing on the fundamentals of underground culture. We have transformed this venue into a living sanctum of positive energy where good vibes and all tribes come together under the pulsating spells of quality djs from around the globe and powered by a world class sound system by Pure Groove Systems.

Put simply, this is not some pop up club dj show! This is the future of underground dance events in Atlanta! Be ready to submerge into the experience..

Now this ground breaking technology comes to Atlanta for Expand!

“Every once in a while something comes along that takes your breath away. Pure Groove Systems deliver a bone shaking sound of pure clarity that seemed to wrap itself around the crowd on the dance floor. This is a system DJ`s will want to play on and clubbers will want to dance to.”

- John Digweed Dj & Producer, Bedrock Records

Expand sets a new standard by bringing in revolutionary outside the box thinker, Richard Mueller, from Mueller Design Labs to design the the mind bending visual stimuli for your sensory overload!

Tips to Make Your Grand Opening a Success

When planning your grand opening it is important to stay organized and plan ahead. Choosing a date early, creating a guest list, planning the event, and advertising for the grand opening are all very important milestones. Creating a memorable event while staying on budget is the ultimate goal when planning a grand opening and there are steps that must be taken months in advance. These tips will help make your grand opening event successful.

Two to Three Months Out

There are several tasks that need to be completed at least two to three months in advance. First, choose a date that will not be the official opening date for your business to host a soft opening. It is important to have some time to work out the kinks in the business before having your grand opening. A soft opening is the real opening a few weeks before your grand opening event.

Next, think about your guest list. When it comes to creating the guest list, it is important to know who the target audience for your business will be. Inviting local celebrities is a great way to increase word of mouth and increase the buzz around your grand opening. Inviting the mayor or members of the city council to do the honors, like cutting the opening ribbon, may help your business end up in the local news channels.

Two to Three Weeks Out

Two to three weeks in advance is a good time to start advertising and to let the local media know that you will be having an event. You can create a press kit, phone the local paper and radio stations, or even send out a press release to increase the visibility of your event. Some additional ways to advertise while you are out in public are to hand out fliers, brochures and business cards, or have shirts or hats printed that have your business information or logo. Word of mouth and social media are the newest ways to spread the word about upcoming events.

You also will want to think about items that you may need to rent to ensure your grand opening is a success. With all of the decisions that you have to make to create a successful grand opening, you need to find an affordable rental company that offers a wide selection. Big AZ Promotions can supply high quality rental items that will make your grand opening a hit with the whole community.

Happy Weekend, Steeler Nation!

“For today’s image we’ll head over to the West End Bridge for a view that I captured of the city and the Christmas tree at the Point on a cloudy morning. The Ohio River was incredibly still, allowing for some colorful reflections just before sunrise. This part of the river usually isn’t this still (at least when I’m there!) so I was pretty happy to be able to capture this view!” Dave DiCello.

Why there’s no option but action on Australian tax rules

In the year ahead there will be a national discussion about the future of our taxation system. It will have important implications for economic growth and social policy. The discussion will only be productive if all options are on the table, and if participants don't resort to what Robert Kennedy called "obsolete dogmas and outworn slogans".

The quintessential such move in tax discussions is to label a change "regressive". Raising the rate or broadening the base of the GST is regressive. Increasing the top marginal rate isn't.

Case closed? Not so fast. To properly assess any tax proposal it's vital to examine where we are now, and where we are heading.

First, let's look at the baseline. Australia has a very progressive income-taxation system. The top 10 per cent of earners pay 46 per cent of total income taxes. The top 2 per cent of earners pay 26; the top 1 per cent pay nearly 18 per cent. The bottom 20 per cent pay 2.5 per cent. This makes Australia's income-tax system among the most progressive in the world.

And income taxes are just one component of the broader taxation-benefit system. There are other taxes and benefits designed to redistribute income, such as the Family Tax Benefit, the Schoolkids Bonus and the aged pension. Then there's a range of ostensibly free services such as healthcare. Finally, there are other taxes, such as the GST. The ABS estimates that when all of this is factored in, only the top fifth of households ranked by income pay any net tax. This makes Australia's taxation-benefit system among the most progressive in the world.

I'm for this. It's part of what makes Australia a great country. But it can only continue if the system produces enough revenue. That's what the debate will be about: how to maintain progressivity by taxing in the right way.

One deeply regressive thing that can happen to income taxes is bracket creep - where the dollar cut-offs for marginal tax rates do not keep pace with rising incomes. This pushes lower-income earners into higher and higher tax brackets. Those earning a very modest $40,000 a year are forecast to pay a quarter more tax in just four years' time because of the fixed cut-offs. By contrast, those earning $200,000 a year would face a less than 2 per cent increase in their tax bill. That's the epitome of a regressive change in taxation.

Yet perhaps the most regressive part of the whole system is the reliance of many states on poker-machine and other gambling taxes. The NSW and Victorian governments get roughly 10 per cent of their revenues from gambling taxes - pokies accounting for about two-thirds of that. This is staggering, and provides horrible incentives to pander to special interests (that means you, Australian Hotels Association).

But much, much worse is the impact that what might be the most widely available gambling in the world has on lower-income earners. It is estimated that as many as half a million Australians are problem gamblers - each losing about $21,000 per annum. For three-quarters of them, poker machines are the cause; and lower socio-economic groups are vastly over-represented.

State governments have to pay for schools and hospitals. They need revenue, and they can't tax incomes. So I understand why they resort to moribund, distorting, socially destructive taxes like pokies and stamp duty. But from a system-design perspective it makes no sense to deprive states of the revenues required to fund their mandates and then stand idly by while they use the worst kinds of taxes. To paraphrase Steve Jobs, it is "insanely stupid".

Taxation-benefit systems are just that - systems. They are made up of many different parts - and looking at any one part in isolation is dangerous and foolish. Those who shriek "But that's regressive" whenever a change to the GST is mooted should think harder. Doing nothing is regressive because of bracket creep. Doing nothing is regressive because it leaves poker-machine "taxes" on the poor in place. Doing nothing is regressive because benefits that redistribute money to lower-income earners will inevitably shrink without a proper tax base to support them.

Our tax system needs to be reworked to provide the right incentives, to grow the economic pie, and to redistribute money to the less well off. To keep Australia's taxation-benefit system truly progressive means thinking about it holistically. Dogmatically invoking the "R-word"? Refusing to change one component to fix the system? Now that's regressive.

An example would be tracking down the cause for the latest flu epidemic in the school, and finding ways to prevent one in the future.. I hope your son enjoys his introduction to Calvin and Hobbes as much as I did and as much as my son has. The system is full of Fucking idiots..

Not like a transformation or anything, but like, for example, i can tell that my arms have gotten bigger Xavier Coleman Jersey
and cheap jerseys wholesale also definitely stronger back. This proved that there was at least two lizard men in the area when the sheep and goats were torn apart and killed.

Estimated people killed by US on Middle East is 25 million people. I said, "OK", and turned the music down. This is the most frustrating argument to have with a non NBA fan because a lot of times they just look at the scores and say no defense is being played, but fail to recognize how good the players in the NBA actually are.

I poured my heart out 8 Peyton Manning Jersey
to God Brandon Shell Jersey
and cried out as I agonized in pain for more than an hour never letting go of the Holy Bible.. You can use a can lid by folding it back and bending it forward then drill holes and screwing it on or can simple draw one on a can lid and use wire cutters to cut it out.

A brewer can sell 2000 barrels from their taproom and then can sell an additional 1000 barrels if they sell it to a distributor and then buy it back at a markup. He made his sole Pro Bowl appearance in 2014 after catching 90 balls for 916 yards and six touchdowns..

The case was reopened after a dying woman implicated her own son 36 years after the fact. Hewitt tell mama emotionless against him. I'm satisfied that its use these activities to suppress their hormones. In addition, the company already owes investors $0.6 billion in interests paid annually on debt.

It doesn always have to be about technical skills. This is useful if you have a set of videos from a single event, like a Wedding. If enough normies"Wake Up" and panic cheap mlb jerseys then TPTB gets the economic and societal collapse it needs to bring about the NWO.

He was the one who came off like a star in this match, not the three guys I expected. Reporter: For "Nightline," I'm robin Roberts in New York.. Doing more housework ourselves is a schlep. Which is why the total circulating supply has gone up to 18 billion.

We agree on the facts: sample size is too small, selection bias is real, high school students appear to be at lower risk but based on very limited sample size, and NFL players appear to be at a high risk, again based on a skewed and small sample size.

You're around people that have been put through so much. Tethering my fate to 29 other people is exhausting. As long as they show respect in their presentation of their viewpoint I fail to see any actual instances of "harm" coming from this.. Pork is cooked in a variety of ways, including stewed pig tripe in sofrito sauce, in a dish called mondongo, or stewed pig heart, kidneys and livers cheap jerseys supply in a dish called gandinga.

Honestly the best sauces in my opinion are fermented. Since young, he has been addicted to watching TVs. Try cheap jerseys finding a second hand Petr Korbel or Stiga Celero blade if you can. Kinda crazy and a cheap mlb jerseys bit degrading, but it honestly was a really fun time..

Well, although it's not a very difficult game to play, in the end when it comes to sudoku Javarius Leamon Jersey
puzzles, it all boils down to speed. Then I hid it, and https://www.nyjetsfanonline.com/shamarko-thomas-jersey-c_55.html
kept it for myself. She has done an outrageous thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father's house.

Hi, I am a USA citizen, am here to testify how i got my Ex cheapjerseys back with the help of this God sent called Dr Unity for the great things he has done in my life. There's also the infamous late in life pregnancy that can occur during perimenopause, when periods are erratic.

Bird2 - 16 years of research and development, we believe this is the future of shuttlecocks.

  • Unique, patented 2 piece construction
  • 3 times more rigid than a standard nylon
  • Maintains shape on smash
  • More feel on the racket face
  • Feather like 'crack' sound on impact
  • Turns/ stabilizes 50% quicker than the best synthetic competitor
  • Spins twice as quickly as the best synthetic competitor
  • Emulates feather parabola (peak and drop)
  • Consistent performance throughout shuttlecock life
  • 2 colour/ High visability in poor lighting.
  • Highly Durable
  • Sustainable and affordable

  • Tubes of 6
  • Medium Speed
  • Designed and Manufactured in the UK.

More Detail:

The unique patented 2 piece design sets it apart from other nylon shuttles, just one of many features that leads to a far more feather-like performance. As a result of it's unique design the Bird2 offers three times the rigidity of standard plastic shuttles, meaning it won't collapse on impact and gives more feel on the racquet face. You'll also notice a big difference in the sound made when hitting smashes and clears.

Another feather-like feature of the Bird2 is the flight parabola (peak and drop). It has a far more stable flight with quicker righting. This translates to net shots too, where The Bird2 will perform a much slower and lower bounce than that of a standard plastic, making play more realistic to a feather.

Unlike a feather, the Bird2's solid construction will keep it's speed consistent throughout it's life. This sturdiness is a result of the shuttle's turbine flutes being moulded rather than pressed. This added sturdiness results in a longer, more consistent shuttle life than a feather.

Although feather shuttles will always be most players preference, the ongoing problems with production costs and bird flu means badminton as a sport, needs to think of an alternative.
The Bird2 we believe, is it.

Uncovering Under-Water “Mystery Circles”

In the perilous waters of Amami Oshima, Southern Japan, sea beds lay inscribed with ornate circles of a once mysterious origin. Within these circles intricate sweeps and grooves create shapely mounds of sand that come together and part to constellate geometric works of art that mirror the symbolic art of ancient Celts just as much as they emulate crop circles. The “mystery circles” were first discovered 20 years ago, some 80 ft below the water’s surface. Images of the circles were captured by Yoji Ookata, a deep sea photographer, while diving in the southern tip of Japan’s coast. Having obtained his… read more

Canon Character Applications

Canon character applications are much more serious than original character applications. They must be filled out more thoroughly in complete paragraph format. Submitting a canon appliction means that you are pledging to portray the character accurately and honestly, be an active member, and follow the rules. Canon's will be given based on roleplay ability and character accuracy. The better your application, the better chance of you earning that canon role.

Canon applications should be copied and pasted into a PM and sent to the admin for approval. You will receive a reply telling whether or not you have been given your desired role. If you do not receive your desired character, you can try for another. But remember that you are only allowed one canon role.

Here is the Canon Application Template:

Be sure to check the canon character list often to see what canon characters have been taken.

Taiwan Travelogue September 2015 (Day 4)

Today morning everyone is really tired. Even Jaclyn who usually wakes up early only woke up at 9am today. We had breakfast, packed up our stuff and checked out at 10.45am. It was drizzling today in Yilan and we are glad that we have decided to head to Shifen Waterfall instead of exploring Yilan.

Shifen Waterfall- a mini one near the hanging bridge before heading to the actual one
It is an hour drive to Shifen Waterfall and we reached at about 12pm. We parked and walk down to the hanging bridge, passed by a small waterfall and to the Shifen Waterfall Park (Open 9-5.30pm daily). It is indeed a majestic waterfall and one could feel the water droplet kissing their face. I read online about a NT80 entrance fees but we didn’t see any place for ticket. It is probably another entrance from the Shifen Visitor Centre or they have omitted the charges?

Passing by the Shifen Waterfall Park before the majestic fall
A duckie that entertained the kids while we take turns to visit the washroom
The huge falls. The water practically sprinkle on you so it is hard to take photograph
The staircase leading to the observation deck was pretty steep and wet so if you are bringing kids, make sure grab on to them tightly. Forget the stroller at this place, totally useless as mostly it is steps and no flat road.

For parents with young children, you can consider having some drinks at the café and take turn to go down to the waterfall observation deck so that the kids no need to go down. It is quite windy and cold as the water droplets splashes onto you plus stairs are wet and steep. So, only I head down while hubby take cares of the kids.

There are toilets at parking area (free parking) and waterfall park so it is convenient.

My pictures of the waterfall definitely did not do justice to them- check out professional photographs of the majestic waterfall here: http://taiwanswaterfalls.com/waterfall-guide/new-taipei-waterfalls/shifen-waterfall/

Jaclyn was having some rashes on her face and neck. I am not sure if it is because of the insect bite that she gotten yesterday at Taroko National Park. She wasn’t itchy or uncomfortable so I gave her an antihistamine, hopefully will subside in no time.

 We are already quite late to return the car so we had a quick lunch at Pingxi Old Street. Lunch is super yummy- braised meat, stir fry vegetable and clam. One of the best meal I had in Taiwan I must say.

Lunch of the day. They look normal but tasted fantastic.

Cost: NT590 including 2 bowl of rice and a bottle of apple juice.

Wooden Postcard
Cute Postbox just outside the shop!
While waiting for lunch to arrived, I grab the chance to buy some postcard (Wooden type-NT60 each) and stickers (NT20 each) for the kids. Manage to send the postcard too, it is NT20 for stamp back to Singapore. Hopefully will receive the postcard when I am back home J

Train running above the houses at Pingxi Old Street
Pingxi train station is famous for its railway which runs above the houses and shops as the shops are all at a lower ground area so one could basically see the train going on top of them which is cool. We manage to catch a glimpse of a train passing while strolling the streets.

We are really late now so quickly drive to Ximending (30 minutes drive) and check in our hotel. There is no parking on site so we had to park at roadside and then unload our stuff. As kiddos and me go to the room, hubby went and return the car at the airport.

Reach hotel.. time to check in and rest
But before that, let's try out our left hand driving skill...
I cleaned the kids up and tuck them for nap. Today is the first day they can nap on bed after sleeping in the car for the past few days.

Finally, we get a proper bed for nap today...
As usual, they played around and only nap about an hour later. I then went down to Level 2 to get our laundry done. It is NT50 for 30 minutes wash and NT for every 10 minutes dryer (we dry the clothes for an hour). Washing powder is complimentary can be obtained from the reception at Level 1.

Laundry time
Full review of the hotel : http://blessedlittletravelers.blogspot.sg/2015/09/westgate-hotel-review-ximending-taipei.html

Hubby came back about 5 plus and I went down to walk around while he rests. It is really happening at Ximending with lots of food stall, restaurant and shops selling little cute things. I went back to the hotel at 6 plus and woke kiddos up for dinner. All are very tired and reluctant to wake up, but eventually manage to wake them up.

Happening Ximending
Dinner is at Watami Casual Restaurant, food is similar to the outlet in Singapore. We had a pleasant dinner. Leisurely walk around Ximending, watch street shows and got back to hotel.

Cute specs we bought
Shower and rest for the day.

Ride Report #1 > 29er

Bike: ‘Plus-3’ 29er Demo Bike
Riders: Mike Ahrens/Mike Shulko
Date: 3/19/06
Location: Saratoga Gap Open Space Preserve
Duration: 2.0 hours

Today was my first real dirt ride on the new ‘Plus 3’ 29er aluminum frame I developed for the Handmade Bicycle Show a few weeks ago. I wanted to ride yesterday but was too hung-over from St. Patrick’s Day festivities the evening before….when else can a 6’4” red-haired Irishman really let loose? :-)

Needless to say the weather was excellent, sunny but brisk with slightly damp trails from previous rains. The ride started out with a descent into tight rolling and slightly rocky singletrack which runs parallel to Skyline Blvd…superbikes screaming by my left side every minute or so. I've ridden this trails many times and the 29er immediately felt at home with predictable handling and cornering – overall providing a very neutral feeling in the cockpit. Once I got a little warmed up, the challenge became pedaling the larger diameter wheels since they seem to require a little bit more effort during the many short uphill transitions this trail offers. I could also have been ‘getting the lead out’ of my legs which haven’t been used for cycling in quite some time due to fatherhood!

Brief Background: The frame plans were dropped off at El Camino Fab in Oakland in mid-February and Jason Grove did an excellent job completing the frame in a short amount of time. The frame is built from Easton 7005 tubing throughout; the down tube I chose was straight gage (1.8mm wall) with no internal butting. Rear triangle tubing is rectangular with the seatstays being slightly narrower than the chainstays for weight savings. CNC machined dropouts and yokes round out the package to provide excellent tire clearance and very simple construction methodology. Frame weight is 4.18lbs raw – not bad for a 19” frame size!

I researched a wide variety of technical information on 29ers before settling on this frame's geometry. I tweaked a few dimensions from my standard ‘APEX’ hardtail design to accommodate the larger diameter wheels. In general, the head angle was increased (aka ‘steepened’) by one degree to 71 deg to maintain proper trail and predictable handling characteristics when mated to a 100mm travel fork. The chainstays were lengthened by ~½” to enable good tire clearance and room for the front derailleur to travel down to the small ring. The remainder of my tried-and-true hardtail frame geometry stayed intact including a moderate 24” effective top tube length, 72 deg seat angle and 19.25” seat tube length (center to center). With larger wheels and taller XC suspension fork, the head tube's position ends up high and definitely caters to taller riders. As a result, the top tube slopes very aggressively downward toward the seat tube to provide excellent standover clearance.

Parts Overview: The Maverick SC32 single-crown inverted fork is mated to a Maverick 24mm bolt-thru hub, 32 hole and 3X laced with Sapim spokes to a Velocity VXC disc rim. Rear wheel is a Hugi 240 disc hub, 32 hole and 3X laced with Sapim spokes to an identical Velocity VXC rim. The Velocity VXC disc rims have a nice 23.5mm width and low overall weight...my goal was to keep the wheels as light as possible to minimize rolling resistance. The rest of the bike is a mixture of FSA high-end parts (carbon cranks, carbon 31.8mm bars, headset, K-force stem and K-force saddle), XT 9-speed drivetrain, Hope Mini brakes (185mm rotor front/165mm rotor rear) and WTB Mutano Raptor 2.30” high air-volume tires.

Back to the ride….after the first sliver of singletrack was done, Shulko and I dropped down onto another piece of singletrack that is normally ridden uphill only – multiple trail closures made our choice to ride this trail pretty easy since it was the only one open. This trail was similar to the first trail except a little wider and then it opened up into a small plateau with manzanita brush encroaching both sides of the trail. Placement of ‘speed logs’ every fifty or sixty feet forced us to keep speed down for the most part (bummer!). The 29er floated over most of the lateral logs with ease once I got used to the tires’ ability to roll over almost anything. On taller logs, the slack seat angle and relatively short chainstays enabled me to wheelie over these obstacles confidently. Since the head tube position is slightly taller than normal, pulling up became even easier – maybe even too easy but I need more time in the saddle to figure this out. Overall I felt secure tackling the most basic trail obstacles since the larger diameter tires seem to maintain their momentum once I got up to cruising speed. This trail dropped us off onto a very wide fire road that we eventually climbed up (2.7 miles!) to get back to the car.

Climbing up the fire road was definitely a chore due to mud bogging and my being out of shape. I must mention that mud clearance on this bike is tight between the back of the seat tube, front derailleur cage and 2.30” rear tire but in this case the mud wasn’t thick enough to cause major issues. I plan on swapping out the rear tire with a WTB ExiWolf 2.10” to gain some needed space…and I will be researching e-type front derailleurs to see if they will be beneficial to increase clearance. Since 29ers are here to stay, I believe there is a market for low-profile, high-clamp front derailleurs that will work on this application. The front-end geometry worked out well for climbing – my only gripe is that the handlebars were setup too tall and the front end would wander when the fork was at full-extension during steeper climbs. By ‘locking down’ the fork with the flip of a lever, I was able to steepen the head angle and climbing became much simpler. I will be removing some spacers from under the stem to tweak my climbing position even lower before my next ride. And the 12-34 XT cassette’s gearing was a nice match to the larger diameter tires.

Summary: I am very pleased with my first dirt ride on the 29er….when compared to some steel 29ers I’ve ridden in the past, this bike clearly out-handled them and exceeded my expectations with its nimble character. By keeping the head angle at 71 deg, I am certain that anything steeper is too steep for 100mm travel forks for this application. The Maverick SC32 is a nice compliment to this bike since it has excellent lateral rigidity and tuning adjustments take only a minute or two. The ½” longer chainstays did not adversely affect handling as I expected they would….in fact I now believe they are a logical match to the larger diameter wheels. On 26” bikes it’s desirable to keep the chainstay length very short to improve responsiveness – in the 29” world this fact isn’t supported because the tires' contact patch is increased to provide more noticeable traction. This bike carves corners, climbs well during transitions, is easy to maneuver at slow speeds and wheelies over logs and rocks predictably…..overall a well-rounded package that inspires rider confidence!

Here are some pics of the new 'Plus-3' 29er - this thing is a blast to ride! Stay tuned for a ride report coming shortly. -Mike

Alabama cop indicted for assault on elderly Indian man

Officer Eric Parker is accused of using "unreasonable force" on 57-year-old Sureshbhai Patel.

Last week in Alabama, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced that the police officer who threw a 57-year-old Indian man to the ground, severely injuring him, has been indicted on civil rights violations charges.

Madison Police officer indicted for civil rights violation

Officer Eric Parker of the Madison Police Department was fired and charged with third-degree assault for using excessive force on Sureshbhai Patel, who had been visiting his family from India. The incident left him partially paralyzed and hospitalized with a fused vertebrae.

Mr. Patel, who does not speak English, was on an afternoon walk when he was stopped by police responding to a call about a "suspicious person." Police video shows Parker yanking Patel's arm and slamming him into the ground. He suffered serious injuries requiring surgery and months of rehabilitation.

On Friday, the Justice Department announced that Parker had been indicted for violating Mr. Patel's civil rights.

On Friday, the Justice Department announced that the officer, Eric Parker, 26, had been indicted late Thursday. The two-page indictment alleges that Officer Parker, in slamming Mr. Patel to the ground, deprived him of his constitutional right “to be free from unreasonable seizures, which includes the right to be free from the use of unreasonable force by one acting under color of law.”

This has become a borderline international incident, with observers in Indian news media expressing outrage over Mr. Patel's treatment. The governor of Alabama even contacted the Indian consul general in Atlanta, expressing "deep regret" for the Madison Police Department's excessive use of force.

Meanwhile, Mr. Patel, who has reportedly regained some use of limbs, has filed a lawsuit in Federal District Court against Parker and the city of Madison, seeking unspecified damages.

How to create a landing page to promote your app

landing pageAlthough it’s not the most common situation, some marketers who develop an app may not necessarily have a website to promote it on. But this shouldn’t stop you from developing your app’s web presence. Why you ask?

For starters, creating a digital presence for your app gives you an online space to make announcements, link to support or blog posts, generate leads and most importantly, promote your app, in ways the Google Play and Apple App Store don’t give you the flexibility to do. Also, creating a web presence means that you’ll show up in search – helping you reach even more potential users.

If you’re not going to create a whole site to promote your app, the easiest thing to do is to create a landing page. There are a tone of great sites that can help you build a landing page with template specifically for promoting mobile apps. Here’s a quick list of some of our favs:

  • Instapage: easy to use landing page builder with various mobile app promotion templates, plus the ability to integrate to marketing platforms for email & CRM starting at $29 /mo
  • Unbounce: stunning landing pages, A/B testing and the ability to integrate with all your marketing & analytic platforms, starting at $99 / mon – or click here to save 50% for 3 months!
  • Kickoff Labs: landing page templates, A/B testing, email starting at $29 /mo
  • Leadsquare: full service marketing automation platform with drag and drop landing page builder, starting at $125 / mo
  • Wishpond: create unlimited landing pages that you can publish to your domain or to your Facebook page starting at $45 / mo

Regardless of if you use a landing page service or you build one from scratch, there are certain elements your page needs. Here’s an overview to help you build a landing page like the pros:

App Description

First and foremost, you want to clearly promote the name of your app and your app icon, with a brief description of your app to hook your audience! (If you need some tips on designing your app icon you’ll want to check out this ebook)

You can follow your introduction up with more text, explaining the features and benefits, or you can let your app previews do the talking….

path app landing page screenshot

Path uses clear value statements to engage visitors

App Preview

Since you don’t have to conform to the app stores specifications feel free to get creative – but always keep in mind that the idea is to show off the user experience. Use app screenshots to show off the features or produce a video to take people on an in-depth tour of your app. You can place the images or video in a slideshow, or display them inside your chosen device to give visitors a realistic idea of how the app works.

Soundcloud uses animated screenshots to showcase the user experience

Call to action

Once people see how awesome your app is, lead them towards the appropriate app store for them to download it! If you’ve developed a cross-platform app, be sure to include the link to download from both the Apple App Store and Google Play, so you don’t miss out on anyone.

Clear CTA are a sure way to boost your viral success

What else?

This is your place to shine so why not add in some user reviews, links to blog posts that feature you app, or Twitter tweets that mention your app! You can also use your landing page to collect feedback or emails, announce coming-soon features or answer FAQs. Plus, remember to add those social share buttons so that your landing page is easily shared across the major social media channels.

Include reviews and social proof, like Flipp

Include reviews and social proof, like Flipp

What about before you launch your App?

Why would you launch your landing page before your app is published you ask? Because, your landing page can help you generate buzz! Just because your app isnt’t ready doesn’t mean you shouldn’t leverage the power of your web presence. You can tease your app via email or social media, ask people to sign up for updates on the landing page and then email blast everyone once it’s ready to download. How’s that for a professional app promotion approach?

Something's brewing in Highbury

London's newest brewpub opened last week. The Brewhouse & Kitchen Highbury is a sibling to the B&K Islington, and it too returns to the city a lost brewery: in this case the brewing kit was formerly in the Lamb in Chiswick.

The Highbury pub was previously The Junction and The Tramshed, and as those names imply it was once the terminus of the Highbury to Aldwych tram line. You would hardly know that now,  though – sure, it is long, but floors have apparently been inserted above and below the current public area. (Check out the iron roof columns, which appear to run through the wooden floor, with no column bases visible.)

On our visit, which was officially a preview for the new format, the pub had just reopened after a six-week refit. The brewkit had not yet been connected up, but it should be up and brewing now in the hands of Pete Hughes who has moved up from B&K Islington. The ales were still flowing for the preview though, Pete having brewed six of the recipes designed for Highbury on his other brewkit, and the kitchen was open too, serving excellent bar snacks.

It's undoubtedly an attractive venue, done up in a sort of industrial chic style, with a long side bar, a decent sized terrace out front, and a more open space inside at the back, in front of the brewkit. Talking of which, I hope Pete has more fermenters somewhere, as I didn't see enough!

The beers we tried were good, although a couple seemed a bit thin and might benefit from a little more development. I'm sure this will sort out with time and more brews. As elsewhere, the beer names are locally themed, several for the nearby Highbury football ground but others for historic local residents.

Best of the lot for me were the Illustrator Black IPA, named for Charles Dickens' illustrator, who was local, and the No.19 Brown Porter, named for the nearby bus route, but the Goalscorer Session IPA also scored well.

As well as eight handpumps there's a bunch of keg fonts, currently mostly for foreign non-micro lagers as far as I could see, but I know they plan to brew lagers on-site too. B&K also carries a decent range of bottled beers. I used to live just up the road a few decades ago, and my, how the area has changed. But if I lived there still, I could well imagine this place being one of my top locals.

As a bit of background, the B&K story is an interesting one: the company was formed by Simon Bunn and Kris Gumbrell, two of the directors of Convivial, a small pubco which ran several London pubs, including two gastro-brewpubs, most notably the Botanist on Kew Green which pioneered the format under its then manager Mark Wainwright.

While Convivial sold out to M&B, which promptly ripped out the breweries, Kris, Simon and Mark had other ideas: they wanted to take the gastro-brewpub concept and grow it outside London. They now have half a dozen sites around southern England, with the most recent being Bristol (where I believe Mark is now brewing) and Highbury. I hope this will shows a triumph of long-term vision over short-term expedience and greed; time will tell.

Will there be more in London? Simon was a little pessimistic when I asked: "Brewpubs are the future, but it's hard to get good sites at a reasonable price in London, which is why we've done more expansion on the South Coast," he said, adding that the next planned openings are two sites in the Bournemouth area.
