Field Cycles- Road Climber
These guys have never really been on my radar but they sure are now!
This frame was built for our super talented frame painter. Built with a fillet brazed construction with a mix of Reynolds 853 and Columbus Life tubes, with an i.s.p and custom seat post topper. The frame isa compact, light and responsive, a match for John's natural talent for climbing steep roads – something we have in abundance in the Peak. The custom stem is built with a stainless steel bearing top cap, integrating smoothly with the headset and headtube, lettings us flow the colour from stem to frame – this is part of our eye on details where we look to simplify & tidy up rather than complicate.
A rich & classy paint design inspired by Dazzle Camouflage, with neon stripes and accents popping against the deep rich purple of the frame. Every Field Cycles frame is painted with the same fastidious attention to detail as this one John has painted for himself.

Happy Belated Birthday, Bristol Palin!by Free Britney at . Comments
Like Zac Efron, Bristol Palin celebrated turning another year older (and hopefully wiser, especially about using protection) yesterday on the 18th of October.
You can forgive us for missing the big day yesterday, however.
After all, the eldest daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, to gained notoriety for getting knocked up last year, has kept a rather low profile of late.
Unlike baby daddy Levi Johnston, who's looking to cash in on his 15 minutes of fame by posing nude and doing commercials for nuts, she's gone AWOL.
Good for Bristol Palin.
Here's a little photo tribute to the mother of baby Tripp, and one of America's favorite unwed teen moms, who just celebrated her 19th birthday ...
Happy birthday!!
you are beautiful and wise beyond your years any guy can be a sperm donor but it takes a real man to be a father
real-wishes dot com where wishes become reality
Happy Birthday Bristol. You are to be commended for your steadfastness in the face of the undeserved criticism heaped upon you by our society's scum - that being Hollywood degenerates, Obamaites and biased press. Your decision not to stay w/ your son's father was wise beyond your years. He's a moron.
Happy Birthday Bristol...the media and many in Hollywood have spent the last year trying to dehumanize and degrade you. You are not the only young woman who gave "everything" to her high school sweetheart, found herself with a baby, and ended up with an ex-boyfriend unwilling to support his own child...but they have done everything to turn you into a national outcast and a public "joke". Congratulations on graduating with a high GPA and thank you for being such a good and loving mother to your little son. Stay brave and confident, Bristol...

Lawyer: State Fair victim already seeking possible damages
Was the state fair stage collapse something that was just an unforeseeable situation? Or was it something that could've been prevented? As IOSHA and Indiana State Police begin investigating Saturday's tragedy, so are some lawyers.
"This is a catastrophic loss case," said Mark Ladendorf, personal injury lawyer.
Ladendorf said he's already been contacted by one of the state fair victims.
"I know this person who was injured very badly is looking to hire someone to investigate the case probably just as many of the victims are," Ladendorf said.
If any of the victims decide to go after the state, they'll have to play by state rules. They'll need to file a tort claim notice within the first 270 days then they'll have to prove the state is liable. Even if they can, though, they should expect only so much.
"Their recovery would be capped at $700,000 in any claim against the state," Ladendorf said.
Ladendorf said some victims might try to go after the private company that built the stage too. He said there will be plenty of lawyers willing to dig for answers.
"They're gonna want answers, because they went to a concert innocently and some of them never came home."

PRAGUE - Korean Air to buy a stake in Czech Airlines
18.03.2013 / 05:11
The Czech government has approved Korean Air bid for a 44% stake in the state-owned carrier Czech Airlines (ČSA) on March 13, 2013. Korean Air has offered to pay 2.64 million euros ($ 3.44 million) for Czech Airlines´s stake and to use its base at Václav Havel Airport at Prague as the European hub for the Korean carrier. The contract between Czech Airlines and Korean Air is to be signed in the second week of April.
Created exactly 90 years ago, ČSA (originally Československé státní aerolinie - Czechoslovak State Airlines) are now the 4th oldest airline in the world still operating (the oldest being Dutch flag carrier KLM which was established in 1919). It has a long and successful history, it became the third of the world's airlines to fly jet services, with Tupolev Tu-104A, the world´s first successful jet airliner, in 1957. Five years later, ČSA´s first translantic service started with a flight between Prague and Havana, Cuba. From the 1960s until mid-1990s ČSA (renamed Czech Airlines after the split of Czechoslovakia), operated a wide range of intercontinental flights, to such cities as Hanoi, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta (the most Eastbound ones), Dakar, Freetown and Lagos (the longest routes on African continent), flights to the US and Canada and numerous destinations in the Middle East and North Africa. In the last decade the number of destinations was cut down and Czech Airlines now operate flights to some 50 destinations, with wide network to most major European cities with an emphasis given to flights to numerous business and tourist destinations in wider Central Europe and countries of former Soviet Union.
Younger, but significantly bigger and stronger Korean Air was created in 1962 and became a part of Hanjin group at the end of the 1960s, but with its fleet of 150+ aircrafts and network covering all five continents, it is one of the biggest airlines in the world. Korean Air's international passenger division and related subsidiary cargo division together serve some 130 cities in 45 countries from Auckland to Irkutsk, from Nairobi to Rio de Janeiro, from New York to destinations in Europe. Korean Air flies also to Czech capital since 2004 and Prague became slowly a sort of a Korean travellers´ hub to smaller destinations in Europe. Route between Incheon and Prague which decade ago was only thrice weekly Korean Air´s small airbus operation, is as of June 2013 to become one of the most travelled destination in Europe with six direct flights a week (of which 4 will be operated by Korean Air and 2 by Czech Airlines) offering Korean businesses and tourists many transfer options to numerous cities in Europe, As The Korea Herald noted a few days ago, the "Korean Air´s acquisition of a stake in Czech Airlines appers to be a bigger deal than expected". Both flag carriers combined will have 0.8 percent of global market, which "would make them one of the top 21 airlines" of the world, noted Lee Ji-yoon. Korean Air could expect to benefit from the network expansion by sharing European routes and using smaller, but effective and friendly Václav Havel Airport Prague. Such a step is a logical move, according to Financial Times, as "Central and Eastern Europe has become attractive for non-European airlines looking for regional hubs as a way of gaining a toehold in the European market". Both Czech Airlines and its main airport will also benefit from the deal, as the sale would likely help the loss-making Czech Airlines get back on firm footing by allowing it to feed more Asia-bound traffic through Korean Air, analysts said. Both sides will also work on further development of Prague airport.
As of now, the Czech government has a 95.7% stake in Czech Airlines, with the remainder of shares held by the city of Prague, Czech capital, city of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, and Czech insurer Česká pojišťovna. The Czech government is selling only a minority stake in Czech Airlines to retain the carrier's European status, which is essential for airlines to benefit from the European Union open-sky policies governing air traffic. The Korean Air is also expected to assume a management control and will gain seat in the three-member supervisory board of Czech Airlines. The shareholder contract will also give Korean Air the right to take part in decision-making on significant issues related to Czech Airlines, such as capital hikes or cuts and profit distribution. Korean Air will also gain the option to buy the remaining Czech Airlines shares as "Korean Air has reserved the option to buy all remaining shares in a minority stake," said Czech Airlines CEO Miroslav Dvořák to Czech press. Besides this, Korean Air would like to buy the remaining shares under the condition that the EU abolishes restrictions on acquisition of national air carriers in the EU by airlines from outside the EU mentioned international press.
The sale of Czech Airlines has yielded another tangible benefit for Czech Airlines and related companies as Korean Air has already moved its client call centre to Prague from the Irish capital city Dublin, a few weeks ago. Phone calls from Korean Air's European clients are handled by company CSA Services, a former Czech Airlines´ subsidiary.
This recent development once more shows the intensity of Czech-Korean relations. Volume of trade doubled in last five years and reached $ 3.7 billion in 2012, with Czech imports to the Republic of Korea reaching almost $ 580 million and Korean imports to the Czech Republic reached $ 3.1 billion (according to both countries´ respective statistics). In 2009 Hyundai Motor Czech in Nošovice was officially opened with its production capacity of 300,000 cars/year, in 2010 Doosan Heavy acquired Škoda Power, leading Czech manufacturer of turbines based in Pilsen, and a few months ago, Hanwha expanded last year its production plastics capacity in North Moravia, and GS Caltex opened its very first European plant in city of Karviná. With number of Korean tourists coming to the Czech Republic reached 130,000 in 2012 and a number of Czech-Korean cultural exchanges is on a steep rise in the last years, Czech government has approved an establishment of Czech Centre in Seoul to promote Czech culture and art and bilateral cultural cooperationin, the Centre is to be opened in April, to be followed later this year with an representative office of another Czech state agency, Czech Tourism.

We know that you may be hungry for more information on the new 2012 Ford Focus Electric that was debuted at the 2011 International Consumer Electronics show. We caught up with Sherif Marakby, Director of Ford Electrification Programs to get more information about the vehicle and how it fits in the overall Ford electrification strategy.
Ford is also working with consumer electronics leader Best Buy to offer a 240-volt home charging station for the all-new Ford Focus Electric battery electric vehicle and future electric vehicles in the United States. Best Buy intends to sell the charging station and offer complete consultation and installation services through its Geek Squad subsidiary and third-party licensed electrical contractors.
The Ford Focus Electric charging station can be easily installed, replaced or upgraded without the use of tools due to its innovative design and mounting bracket. The 240-volt home charging station will allow Focus Electric owners to fully charge their cars in as little as three to four hours – charging in half the time as the Nissan Leaf.
Designed and produced to be compact and easy to install, the Ford charging station offers Focus Electric owners multiple advantages over competitive systems:
Until there are more recharging stations in public places, trip planning will be an important part of operating an electric vehicle. EV owners will need to think in terms of round trips and what is achievable within their vehicle's range budget. Consequently, Ford has designed the Focus Electric driver interface to inspire efficient driving and help owners enjoy the thrill of fuel-free transportation rather than worry about battery charge.
The new Focus Electric uses a high-tech driver interface to help drivers optimize range and experience the freedom of fuel-free driving. Using an expansion of the technologies behind MyFord Touch™ driver connect technology, the Focus Electric cockpit provides a host of electronic tools to guide drivers, inspire efficient driving, emphasize the performance of Focus Electric and – most importantly – make it easy to live with an electric vehicle (EV). Basic information, such as battery state of charge, distance to charge point, the corresponding budget and expected range surplus are all easily visible in the two 4.2-inch full-color LCD screens flanking the centrally mounted speedometer.
"Consumers interested in an electric vehicle are more focused on reducing the impact their driving has on the environment," explained John Schneider, Ford chief engineer for HMI, Driver Controls and Infotainment. "Rather than minimize the realities of battery range and the need for more conscious trip planning in an electric vehicle, we've made it a core part of the ownership experience, giving owners the tools to actively manage how they can drive their car based on where they need to go."
Ford Motor Company unveiled today its all-new Focus Electric – the company's first-ever all-electric passenger car. The zero-CO2-emissions, gasoline-free version of the popular small car is the flagship of the company's growing fleet of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and all-electric vehicles coming to North America and Europe by 2013.

[MSP] Mexican restaurants on Eat Street
- s
- StPauliGirl May 3, 2007 02:38 PM
Last night my husband and I were in the mood for Mexican food and decided to hit Eat Street. Someone had recently recommended Morelos to us so we started to head in that direction until we realized we'd eaten there before (but just didn't remember the name of the place). We thought the food was "fine" but weren't dying to go back, so we decided to pick a different Mexican restaurant along Nicollet Ave.
But we had no idea where to go. And ended up going to Little Tijuana.
What do my fellow Minneapolitans think? Where should we have gone? We live close to that neighborhood and did not want to drive much farther, which is why we didn't go to Midtown Global Market. Someplace on Lake Street would have been fine, but again, we didn't know where to go.
I feel like Mexican is the one cuisine missing from husband's and my restaurant repertoire. We have our favorite Vietnamese, Chinese, Thai, etc places, but haven't found "our" Mexican place yet.
Suggestions? (Please try to limit your recommendations to places in Minneapolis west of MGM and south of downtown. We don't like to drive too far on weeknights.)
I don't know the Minneapolis geography that well, so, I hope this doesn't stray too far for your requested geography but we did explore some taquerias on Lake Street (all West of Midtown Global Market) at our "Lake Street Chowdown/Taco crawl." Pineda and La Hacienda were the overall favorites, I'd say, though there's plenty more exploration to be done.
re: The Dairy Queen
I think Pancho Villas is good.
re: shoo bee doo
Where is Pancho Villas, shoo bee doo? I'm not familiar with it. Any dish there you recommend in particular?
re: The Dairy Queen
See my post below.
re: bob s
I used to go to Little Tijuana all the time. It's definitely not an "authentic" mexican place, more of a diner with hearty americanized Mexican. Not like Chi Chi's, more like Boca Chica. Taco Morelos used to be good but since their remodel I think they are overpriced and not very good.
Sorry I can't recommend anything on Nicollet as I generally just eat Asian there but thought I would chime in on those mentioned. Why not ask one of the many hispanic people in the neighborhood what they think is good?
re: misterpatrick
I agree about Taco Morelos -- they've definitely "Americanized" their food. I assumed that Little Tijuana was similar, but didn't know for sure.
re: misterpatrick
t's USED to be cheap-- now imo it is overpriced cheap food. used to go get a $4 big american-style burrito there 8-10 years ago, now the same menu item is $10 and less than 1/2 the size. i second mersidots123's post below mine.
I agree with the Pancho Villa rec. They have terrific fresh seafood, amazing camarones al diabolo, and you can wash it down with a wicked michelada made with your choice of beer. They even make their own horchata, and it's delicious. On weekends, they have off-menu breakfast items such as chilaquiles. It's a hot spot for local birthdays. It reminds me of the better off-the-tourist-grid places I've eaten at in Mexico. It is a resto, not a taqueria, with table service. It's located at the bottom end of Nicollet, a few doors up from Black Forest and across from Azia.
I also agree that Morelos is not worth stopping for. The only time I've eaten there, the service was slow and the food so forgettably generic, that I honestly can't comment on it other than that. It reminds me of the worst of the strip mall Mexican of the deep south of about 15 years ago.
Has anyone tried el Nuevo Rodeo? Whenever we've been to Town Talk, Dashen, or Midori's late in the evening there always seems to be a lot of Mexican Immigrants heading there for their nightclub.
But, they also have a full service restaurant, open from 10:00AM until 3:30AM - and the description/menu on their website ( http://www.elnuevorodeo.com/ ) seems fascinating.
I've never been, but I'm thinking I might have to go...
re: Danny
Thank you for the recommendations. The next time we find ourselves in this situation we will certainly try Pancho Villa, Pineda, or Taqueria La Hacienda.
As far as Little T's, I'll agree with the others who described it as Americanized and dive-y. That being said, the place is pretty appealing at 2:00 when you're sloshed because the portions are extremely generous for the price. They also have a very, um, colorful wait staff who simply add the entertaining people-watching factor.
As for the food: I had a taco platter and husband had a something-else platter. Both looked basically the same and tasted basically the same. Like Chi-Chi's food. The same basic ingredients thrown together in different combinations and called different things.
I don't mean to talk smack about Little Tijuana and don't regret going there. I think they know what their market niche is and fill it well. I enjoy going there when I want to get filled up on good-tasting food for not a lot of money. (Notice I didn't say "authentic," but "good.")
re: Danny
I like El Nuevo Rodeo, although I haven't been there for 8 or 9 months. I'd say it's good, solid Mexican food, with all the standards (carnitas, tortas, tamales, tacos), plus seafood (ceviche, tillapia, vuelve a la vida, etc.). And they have a full liquor licence, if you like that kind of thing.
I posted a review about my torta at El Nuevo Rodeo 'way back in ought-five:
re: Danny
Just ate at Nuevo Rodeo tonight! The happy hour goes from 4-7 on weekdays, with 2-4-1 drinks, $2 margaritas, and 1/2 price apps. We ordered the pork-al-pastor and the steak entrees. The pork was great, the steak was just okay. Worth stopping by for the drink specials, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.
In my month-end review for April I reviewed two of these places.
Little T's received a rating equivalent to the Mr Yuck sticker from poison control. It's good enough for Americanized Mexican food, but the fact that you can find burgers on the menu but not camarones a la diabla, tacos mexicanos or sopes speaks volumes. It's good at 2am though.
I like Panco Villas food, but the dining room was more than a bit nuts when we were there (see http://www.chowhound.com/topics/396842 ). Very good tamal, the tacos are better at Chiapas and Puerto Veracruz, but Villas are still very good. It's still hard to eat in there with everything that's going on though.
Morelos used to be awesome, but it too fell to Americanization at some point in the last 5 or so years. The food is still pretty good, but it just doesn't feel right.
If you haven't already, might I suggest the outstanding Latin restaurants on Central (I know, it's no where near Nicollet, but i have to hype my hood). Adelitas, Puerto Veracruz, Chiapas, Sabor Latino...all great restaurants. ;)
re: Foureyes137
What about La Perla del Pacifico, on Nicollet and 61st? Way south of the rest of these, but I've been intrigued by the place for years yet have never gone in.
re: Jordan
We went there once, on recommendation because of their ceviche. I believe I got grilled shrimp and husband got the ceviche (I don't think it was called that per se, we figured it out from the description). We enjoyed the food, unfortunately I'm not a huge fan of Mexican food so I can't say how it compares to other places. They had a guitar player roaming around the tables which drives me crazy when I'm trying to have a conversation. Basically it was good, and close to our house, so I'd go again if I could ensure there was no music. Actually my husband suggested going tonight but Friday seemed prime time for music.
re: Jordan
My better half and I had a solid (if not exceptional) meal there back in February. I had the whole grilled fish (I believe it was tilapia) and P had a shrimp dish. The fish was better than the shrimp, if I remember correctly. We were there at about 9:15 on a Friday evening. The place had people in it but it wasn't packed. No guitar player then.
I'd go if I had a hankerin' and was near by. Probably not worth a trip across town.
re: Jordan
The Sandwich family have been to La Perla many times because we live nearby. It is respectable, but they don't seem to do any one thing as well as the best in town. For example, I have had their whole flash-fried fish more than once, but then I had La Sirena Gorda's tilapia and I was spoiled. So, Jordan, I think it is pretty good but don't have a particular dish to recommend. They do have aguachile, which is kind of a ceviche-like dish, and I can't recall seeing that anywhere else.
I have found it problematic that they have only round 4-top tables. We often have dined there with friends who frequent the place, and our party of six (two couples, each with a chowpup) pushes together two round tables, which makes for an awkward experience. Something to keep in mind if you have more than four people.
They do have 2 for 1 margaritas during the dinner hour, though!
In general, I am liking taquerias better than restaurantes for la comida mexicana lately, both for price and for sheer pleasure of the food.
I think that the most interesting mex restaurant experience is a molcajete or a parrillada. These are big giant dishes for two (or more!) people to share.
A few blocks south of La Perla in the Hub shopping center at 66th & Nicollet is a Morelos MexGrill, where you can get the molcajete (mole-ka-HET-ay). Yeah, same people as the 26th Street (right off Eat Street) place, which I have not been to for a few years, so I don't know if they have 'em, too. They bring out this big lava-stone bowl full of a kind of stew with all sorts of stuff in it, as well as a pile of tortillas and a plate of rice & beans. There is a meat version ($25?) and a seafood version ($35?). I like either, but you probably want 3-4 people to share.
A similar thing is a parrillada, which I have had at El Paraiso at 35th & Nicollet (only I think it was called El Rey de Oro back then?). It is a big metal tray of meat or seafood with a warmer under it. I think parrillada (pa-ree-YA-da) means basically "grilled," and the meat and stuff is still grilling on that thing when they bring it out of the kitchen. This also will STUFF two people and probably be just right for 3-4 people.
El Conde de Sandwich
I like Taqueria La Hacienda on East Lake. Mmm... al pastor. I've also had a few good meals at Salsa a la Salsa. It doesn't thrill me, but the food is fresh, the service is good, and I've tried new things there that I haven't seen at some other places. It turns out that I like cactus, which is a nice discovery. The atmosphere is nicer than Morelos. I've only ever been to Little T's when, uh, [how many sheets to the wind is it?] It is more of a place to soak up liquor and hang out in the middle of the night.
how about el mariachi-- it's in the little strip mall area south of shuang hur grocery and across the street from quang-- you have to pull into the parking lot to see it, so it is often overlooked. as i recall the menu ranged from more expensive and authentic regional mexican on the first several pages to a taco & burrito menu on the back page. we used to go there--is the establishment still open?
re: soupkitten
I have to add voice to the decline of Morelos. Before the format change, I loved it. I don't at all enjoy it anymore.
Based on the recommendations on this thread, I tried Pancho Villa Saturday and really enjoyed. The prices were reasonable, the service was great, the portions were good, and the food was delicious. We had a couple margaritas (not sweet at all, and plenty strong), Viking Nachos (excellent! individually topped), burrito with rice and beans side (yummy and filling), a chili renello filled with chicken (a little watery inside, but still very tasty) with a tamal (lots of meat in it) and beans and rice side. Couple of diet cokes, and the total was $40. I was really pleased.
There is a little restaraunt in the back of a supermarket on 28th and Blaisdale that makes pretty darned authentic small dishes - their huaraches are good, and pretty cheap. The Strib did a write up on it a while back. I haven't been in about a year, but recall enjoying it for what it was. You won't have a full sit down experience there, but you can enjoy a quick bite there.
re: pgokey
thanks for the hint on the supermarket at 28th and Blaisdale. I drive by there almost every day and did not know they had chow-worthy food. Anything else to recommend besides huaraches?
re: bob s
I've tried several other things and have felt they were good, but can't recall what. I haven't eaten there since last spring, but for no particular reason. The huarcaches stand out because it's one of the few places I can find huaraches at all.
I need to give a caveat: I know a couple of people whose tastes I trust who went there and have had flavorless experiences there. (I'm not sure how much experience they have had with truly authentic Mexican, though.) I think there are a few dishes that might need hot sauce or salsa on them to get flavor - I think that's generally true of certain authentic Mexican foods, though. I found that at taquerias in California - it's all about the salsa. So, some don't like that sort of thing, and some do.
re: pgokey
OK, so I tried to go there to get a huarache tonight, being that it's been on my mind, and discovered it's closed. The grocery store is still open, but the restaurant is closed down. Boo.
Anyone know of any place in the cities that sells huaraches?
re: pgokey
A bunch of the taquerias on East Lake Street have huaraches - but I can't remember which ones.
But I *do* remember seeing them (or a picture of them) at Los Ocampo in the Midtown Global Market.
Salsa A La Salsa on Nicollet is outstanding. We are die hard fans of this place and go there quite often. We had our grooms dinner there and people raved about the food.
Pepito's at 4820 Chicago avenue is another fine choice.
re: jdlyons15
You must be beating the odds. The first few times were great, but soon afterwards they started their death spiral - intermittent quality of food (sometimes great, sometimes awful) and atrociously slow service. I've given them a rest for the past year in favor of Pancho Villa.
If you're still eating there, and with raving success, it sounds like they've gotten their act together and worth another try. I like when places come back from the brink, but it's better if they never get there in the first place.
re: Loren3
Loren, are you talking about Salsa a la Salsa or Pepitos? Or both?
I am addicted to Pepito's housemade salsa (don't know why--just a really nice blend of flavors, kind of smokey, very smooth), otherwise, I think it's just fine/okay.
I haven't been to S a la S on Nicollet, but I have been to their outpost at MGMkt (once) and had a very nice chicken in mole sauce with plain (i.e., just masa, no filling) tamales. It's one of two places in Midtown Global Market that has table service (Chang Bang being the other) and it was actually nice to sit and be waited on, I thought. Full bar, too.
re: The Dairy Queen
I was dissing the S ala S on Nicollet. Haven't been to their outpost at MGMkt yet. Haven't been to Pepito's yet either.
re: Loren3
i think pepito's is to mexican food in msp as white lily was to vietnamese. . .
does that make sense? dining at pepito's was a retro thing for us for a while (dh's hangout after little league games in the 80's), but there are so many new places to try that there is no reason to go back. . . well maybe that salsa, that was good!
Haven't seen my favorite on here yet, unless I missed:
La Poblanita on Lake St., I can't remember the cross street but it is in the same block as Ingebretsen's and Northwoods (?) Poster Co-op. La Poblanita is on the corner at the extreme opposite end from Ingebretsen's (there is another taqueria in the same block, haven't tried it).
They recently redid their interior to expand into a neighboring space and now feature some lovingly painted murals and arched windows/actual roofing tiles/etc. to make it look like a mexican village. Very clean, lots of tvs often playing loudly. I think they may have karaoke or dancing on occasion. We always have some slight awkwardness when we go about whether we should order at the counter or if there is table service (there must be a certain schedule but we haven't figured it out). Either way, everyone is nice and there is always someone who speaks english. The menu is large and delicious with taqueria standbys and combo plates (including tongue and brains, all the weird cuts of meat) as well as traditional mexican entrees (like mole). Once I ordered the torta cubano (cuban style sandwich) on a whim and it was delightfully out of control (featuring a sliced up hotdog, fried egg, pounded, seasoned beefsteak, veggies-- it was huge and delicious). I also really like their sopes.

|TCF Financial Corporation Announces Definitive Agreement to Acquire Gateway One Lending & Finance, LLC
WAYZATA, Minn., Oct 13, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
TCF Financial Corporation ("TCF") (NYSE: TCB) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, TCF National Bank, has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Gateway One Lending & Finance, LLC ("Gateway One"). Headquartered in Anaheim, California, Gateway One is a privately held lending company that utilizes its more than 3,100 active dealer relationships to originate loans to consumers in 30 states, primarily on used automobiles. As of September 30, 2011, the company had originated $214 million in auto loans year-to-date and had a managed portfolio of $406 million.
As part of the acquisition, TCF will be retaining Gateway One's seasoned executive management team. The transaction is expected to close before the end of 2011, subject to customary closing conditions.
"We are very excited about the acquisition of Gateway One," said Craig Dahl, Executive Vice President of TCF Wholesale Banking. "The addition of this national secured lending consumer product further diversifies our business and provides ample growth opportunities within the large U.S. auto lending marketplace. TCF has a proven track record of successfully acquiring, integrating and operating nationally-oriented specialty finance businesses in the past and we expect additional success with Gateway One."
"We are looking forward to joining an organization with the financial capabilities of TCF and taking advantage of the opportunities it will provide," said Brian MacInnis, Chief Executive Officer of Gateway One. "We believe our dealers, customers and employees will benefit from the proven financial strength of TCF." Mr. MacInnis was the founding Chief Executive Officer of Onyx Acceptance Corporation, a specialized auto finance company in the United States, which went public in 1996.
"The acquisition of Gateway One is another step toward the further diversification of TCF by growing high quality assets with strong risk-adjusted returns through national specialty finance lending programs," said William A. Cooper, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TCF. "Gateway One will provide both a new incremental revenue source and opportunities for balance sheet growth at a time where these objectives are challenged by industry or economic headwinds. With a management team that brings a wealth of industry knowledge and experience, I am confident that this acquisition will be a very profitable business for TCF. This is another example of TCF following through on our commitment to our shareholders to be proactive and take advantage of marketplace opportunities while in this difficult environment."

Sen. Steve Sweeney caused a stir when he suggested a 15 percent state employee pay and benefits cut to avoid a 1 cent sales tax hike. At a follow-up news conference, Sweeney stood tall, spoke calmly and convincingly, and took every question with ease. Outside, Carla Katz, former Corzine gal pal, and president of one CWA local who apparently thinks she is queen of all things union, brought in more than 100 people to jeer Sweeney. All she could manage to say was "contract" and threaten Sweeney would suffer politically. She had no convincing answers or observations. State workers should give something back no later than the next contract. Lawmakers who are part-time but get full time benefits — like health care for life — should lead the way. Other than the governor, no one should be driven in state cars to and from work. Pension rules should be reformed. Part-timers and contractors shouldn't be eligible. Sweeney is right. Unions traditionally have joined in to save the company when it faced financial disaster. Auto workers and airline employees are recent examples. New Jersey is in trouble and needs substantial change or there will be no pensions for anyone down the road. That should concern state employees, most of whom are not highly paid and work hard for their paycheck. They didn't create this problem but they have to be a part of fixing it.

Chris Christie biography
"Chris Christie: The Inside Story of His Rise to Power," written by Bob Ingle and Michael Symons, offers the first inside portrait of New Jersey's governor, who in two years as governor emerged as a national Republican Party figure famous for his blunt public statements. The book details Christie's combative public persona and deep family roots, tracing his improbable political rise from a bruising stint in county government to his anti-corruption crusade as U.S. Attorney for New Jersey. Chris Christie: The Inside Story of His Rise to Power goes behind the scenes to reveal his family life, his public life, and what the future might hold..

The Soprano State
"The Soprano State," written by Bob Ingle and Sandy McClure, details the you-couldn't-make-this-up true story of the corruption that has pervaded New Jersey politics, government, and business for the past thirty years. From Jimmy Hoffa purportedly being buried somewhere beneath the end zone in Giants Stadium in the Meadowlands, through allegations of a thoroughly corrupt medical and dental university, through Mafia influence at all levels, to a governor who suddenly declares himself a "gay American" and resigns, the Garden State might indeed be better named after the HBO mobsters.

text: It is like being totally paralyzed. The most important thing is stability, without it I cannot think. I feel saddened every day. - —Fatmeh, an Arab Palestinian resident of Barta'a, Israel. Fatmeh, who was born in the West Bank, and her husband Yousef, an Arab born in Israel, are unable to visit her family who live minutes away on the other side of the separation wall, reports USC's Christin Davis. They married before Israeli law disallowed Palestinians born in the West Bank from freely living and moving about inside the state of Israel and outside lands ruled by the Palestinian Authority. In order to stay with her husband, Fatmeh must go through the "grueling process" of reapplying for temporary identification every year since she cannot become a citizen of Israel. by Trent Gilliss, senior editor 3 years ago 15 notes Tagged: #Israel #Palestinian #separation wall #USC Reporting on Israel Comments

Annie Leibovitz, recalling the photo session on December 8, 1980 that produced the famous Rolling Stone cover of John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
Okay, now I have a question. Was John Lennon insecure? I mean, here he was, the biggest name in all of music, why was he acting like some nobody all worried whether he's going to make it on the cover of Rolling Stone or not?

In addition to a story on the Nixon Peabody song controversy — which we'll do a full post on later, so save your comments until then — the New York Times has this big scoop:
Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, whose tenure has been marred by controversy and accusations of perjury before Congress, has resigned. A senior administration official said he would announce the decision later this morning in Washington.
Mr. Gonzales, who had rebuffed calls for his resignation, submitted his to President Bush by telephone on Friday, the official said. His decision was not immediately announced, the official added, until after the president invited him and his wife to lunch at his ranch near here.
Any thoughts on a successor?
Update: We liveblogged the (extremely short) press conference by Alberto Gonzales announcing his resignation. See here.

Our take: Mosin-Nagant rifles are best known as the standard infantry rifle for the Soviet Union during World War II, however, due to how many models were produced many are still in use to this day across the globe! PPS/ Red Fire has recreated this iconic World War II era rifle with impeccable detail, and hard hitting performance. Unlike most authentic looking World War II airsoft guns, this Red Fire Mosin-Nagant is not just some replica wall-hanger. This rifle is perfect for outdoor airsoft battles, firing well over 450 FPS (w/ 0.20g BBs) with a short stroke bolt, and can easily reach out past 200 feet to take down targets! Whether you are an avid World War II reenactor or just want an awesome performing airsoft sniper rifle, the Red Fire Mosin-Nagant 1891/30 is one of the best options on the market!Note: Polymer bayonet cannot be attached to rifle unless the orange tip is removed.Features:- Full metal outer barrel- Fully adjustable hop-up system- Full length stock- Rear sling mount for rifle slings- Front sling mount for rifle slings- Shoots up to 520 FPS (w/ 0.20g BBs)- Real wood furniture- Adjustable rear sight- Fixed front sight- Wind-up magazineSpecifications:Operation: Gas Powered Bolt ActionBuild: Metal Barrel / Wooden FurnitureFiring Modes: Bolt Action Single ShotMuzzle Velocity: 480 – 520 FPS (w/ 0.20g BBs)Inner Barrel: 650mmPropellant: Green GasMagazine: 15 roundsHop-Up: AdjustableWeight: 6.65 poundsOverall Length: 48.75" in.

A daily lowdown on what makes New York, New York. It's a stylish look at the city's newest cultural happeningsDKNY is taking notes so that you don't have to.
Book Club
Go to midtown for work, but stay for Bar 54, a new lounge perched at, you guessed it, 54 floors above Times Square which has the honor of being New York City's highest rooftop bar. Behind the cocktail program, legendary mixologist Julie Reiner of Clover Club and Pegu Club is elevating the neighborhood's offerings: UrbanDaddy.com recommends the Miracle on 45th St., a delightful bouquet of citrus and flowery elements with champagne, or the gin-infused, shareable Boat House Punch bowl. Inside sofas surround a cozy fireplace, while outdoors the unobstructed views are worth at least eight figures.
Bar 54: The Highest Rooftop Bar
The folks behind Comodo in Soho have expanded their culinary territory across the East River by way of Fort Greene. The newly opened Colonia Verde (verde, of course, meaning green in Spanish, get it?) is "a charming, sunlit Latin spot that translates to candlelit dates and bright brunches in your future," reports UrbanDaddy.com. The basic lay of the land? "Step down a short flight of stairs off Dekalb and you'll be confronted with a row of two-tops and a pillowed wood banquette on your left, and a small copper bar on your right." Definitely dinner-date territory—now just wait till you read the menu.
Colonia Verde in Fort Greene
From Russia with love seems to be a theme with Ariana opening on West Houston Street in Soho, Moscow 57 debuting on Delancey Street in the LES, and of course, the ongoing taste of Siberian winter. Speaking about the former, it seems vodka is making a major comeback; this time served stirred with frozen caviar lollipops. The menu at Ariana is Russian fare by way of Saint Petersburg opulence in dishes like velvet borscht and foie gras eclairs. Now onto Moscow 57, it's a dinner-and-live music venue specializing in zakuska small plates—and more vodka concoctions, like espresso-infused vodka with hot chocolate.
Moscow 57 Russian Cuisine
Impending winter storms. Dateless for Valentine's Day. Feel like you need to get into Good Spirits? Join Edible Manhattan for their fourth annual winter bash touted to be "one of the most popular cures around for cases of cabin fever" (and other winter blues-inducing scenarios). They pair top spirits brands with special treats from celebrated local restaurants for the ultimate mood-mending mixer. This perfectly timed soiree is guaranteed to delight your taste buds, and give you the boost you need to make it through the rest of the winter…only 35 more days to go!
Edible Manhattan's "Good Spirits" Winter Bash
Many country and rock-n-roll songs have been written about whiskey—its virtues and vices often walking a blurred line. Tonight the Pops Culturalists celebrates with a Warm Up With Whiskey tasting event at Beekman Bar and Books showcasing a flight of American selections. The event supports the New York Pops and its Pops Ed events, which are dedicated to fostering music appreciation throughout the five boroughs. Learn more about the largest independent pops orchestra in the U.S. (which happens to be based in NYC) and get a ticket to savor some of the finer points of life: good music, good drink, and good company.

It's Taco Tuesday at the Dream Downtown—well, sort of. "Bodega Negra, an ambitious seductress of a Mexican spot by way of London, is now soft-open," reports UrbanDaddy.com. Behind Melvin's Juice Box, the old Marble Lane has been reimagined with tequila-barrel walls, a giant disco ball made of pennies, and leather accents. Likewise, standard tacos are more stylishly outfitted with options, like Peking duck, soft-shell crab, and lamb barbacoa. You can also get heartier dishes like red snapper roasted in banana leaf and slow-roasted lamb for two, before presumably heading upstairs to PH-D for a late night.
Bodega Negra Opens in NYC
Sports might not be your jam, but if the looming weekend of tailgating has you thinking about throwing a football-themed party of your own, local hotspots are ready to take your order. Spend your time on the cute factor (baking cupcakes topped with mini football helmets) and leave the upgraded stadium classics to the pros. Miss Lily's is offering up slow-cooked jerk wings and Parm is taking orders for large-format sandwiches (much better than a supermarket sub). You can even have expertly cocktails delivered to your door from mixologist Aaron Polsky, reports UrbanDaddy.com.

Need some post-work culinary inspiration? While Facebook and Instagram have taken everyday food photography to the next level, the delightful Art of Alabama Food exhibit offers a culinary tour of Southern faves via the Heart of Dixie. It's the first stop on the "100 Dishes To Eat in Alabama Before You Die" traveling art show, which continues on to Nashville, New Orleans, and Atlanta. Now up at Chelsea Market through February 2, these tasty pics will inspire you to pick up some groceries and get creative with homey Southern recipes, like BBQ stuffed baked potatoes and gooey pie. Yum!

The Cannes Film Festival might be another four months away, but for now you can hit up the French Riviera by way of Nolita at Chicane, a sexy new dinner spot now open on Broome Street, reports UrbanDaddy.com. "This place takes you to the Cote d'Azur through the magic of tartine, Cotes de Provence wines, and a ceiling that resembles a pool deck." Skip the juice detox today (it's Friday!) and get your vitamin C via a French 75-esque cocktail called La Provencal featuring gin, raspberry liqueur, strawberry puree, and basil. Downstairs, you'll also find a dimly lit cocktail lounge for a cozy tete-a-tete.
Chicane in Nolita
After another polar plunge earlier this week, you might be considering staying indoors with a DKNY Cozy, a good book, and some hot cocoa until, say, the vernal equinox on March 20. However, then you would miss the one of the best parts of winter: warming up by the fireplace. Since your apartment probably lacks a log-burning furnace, this does mean venturing outdoors. However, it's worth the effort with plenty of charming fireplaces to cuddle up next to. Order a hot toddy and cozy up at Kingston Hall in the EV or head over to Salinas for delicious Spanish fare by a roaring fire. See winter's not so bad after all.

Summery: A snippet from when Lieutenant taught Amon how to drive. Or, the bloodbending prodigy compares his old lessons to the new.
Hey guys so it seems after a lot of discussion Lieumon week has officially been moved back two weeks! Because the world just isn't ready yet for so much awesome, am I right? (or at least that's the story if anyone asks okay)
So the NEW dates are September 18-24th which I guess should put us conveniently right before Amorra week, so Amon will get all kinds of good loving.
Also if someone else wants to make a new graphic PLEASE feel free to do so. Please.
Day 1: Spy
Day 2: Flirt
Day 3: Cooking
Day 4: Enchanted
Day 5: Silence
Day 6: Creation
Day 7: Devotion
kalsdfj;adfj pinky that graphic i can't even xDDD IT SHOULD MAKE ME FEEL SAD BUT NO, I LAUGH BECAUSE THEY LOOK RIDIC
I wanted to draw young Noatok and Lieutenant on a motorbike because that's the cutest thing ever and I also wanted to draw Amon brooding so I kind of smashed the two ideas together and now it looks like Amon is angsting over how embarrassing he was as a kid and Lieutenant is trying to bend him over because I always draw my people slanted when I don't have a handy mirror or the flip tool
Drawing is hard.
Have some Lieutenant as a Twi'lek and Amon. Amon's costume has been combined-ish with Revan from KOTOR. …because apparently this is KOTOR-era-ish. Blame SWTOR.
Amon is leading a revolution against Jedi, citing the inherent oppression of force-users. It was eventually his plan to release a virus specialized in killing midichlorians, rendering force-users useless, but he was foiled by Mirialan Jedi Knight Korra. In the final desperate fight it was revealed that Amon had extensive Sith training. Hence Lieutenant's cries of betrayal.
Anyway have a small drabble n' doodle
The soft beeping behind the Lieutenant was his only real company, aside from the cool transparisteel of the kolto tank. He knew that in the tank, Amon was drifting, stripped bare of his mask. The kolto would knit his wounds back together and bring him back from the brink of death. Usually the twi'lek was in the tank. Not Amon.
Soft clicking and whirring behind him. "Three hours until completion of treatment," the medical droid chirped. "Lieutenant, you may seek more comfortable lodgings."
A puttering click, as if he could hear the droid think. "That is an illogical answer."
He gritted his teeth. "It's simple, BD-2. If I get up, I'll see his face. I… I made a promise that I would respect his decision. And I will." He glanced to the side, snapping at the droid. "It was an order. I'm staying right where I am."
"Yes, Lieutenant."
Maybe the gnawing curiosity would be abated soon. All the twi'lek really needed was Amon's arms around him - to feel his warmth and hear his heartbeat. Not to see underneath the mask. That was all he needed… and so he waited.
casually reblogging for the day crowd because fuck you why not.
dun dun DUUUUN (i like this au)
…does this mean Tarrlok is a jedi now? Tarrlok is a jedi now okok. mouom
"We need to get you healed."
"Do you really think I want anything to do with a bender right after I got nearly crushed between stonewalls?" His laugh sent drops of blood splattering on the mask and ended in a cough.
"You are badly wounded. If we don't-"
"I'd rather die. It's alright."
Amon nodded hesitantly and redirected the Lieutenant's bloodflow to render him unconscious.
The Lieutenant might have made peace with his own death, but that didn't mean Amon had to agree. Why sent him to the waterbenders anyway, if a bloodbender could do so much more?
I can't write anything but I tried so no one can criticize me
ouch my feels ;;;o;;;
Love the mood and lighting in this so very much.
my feeeeeeeeeeeels
[rolls away screaming about feels]
[this fic is awesome, the art is even more awesome, I WANT TO ADD TO IT *o* ]
He wouldn't abuse his powers for profit, or to harm the innocent. He knew better. He was practically an avenging spirit, sent to punish those who would abuse their powers and to save those who would defend, who would fight -
And so he knit his Lieutenant back together. He took his spilled blood and purged it of dirt and contagions and threaded it back into his veins. He took deep cuts and pressed together veins and muscle until there's only a thin cut. They would laugh about it later, how they had panicked at such a light wound in the darkness, thinking that it had hit a main artery. How they had mistaken his ribs for broken - no, only fractured - and a few cuts in his mouth for internal bleeding, a few cuts on his stomach for punctured organs. It would be hilarious.
A normal waterbender would need hours to fix this, but Amon was better than they were. Lieutenant would be sore from how Amon had pushed his body to fix it, bedridden for a day or two from the exhaustion, but better sore than dead.
He picked Lieutenant up like a bride, his head cradled against his chest. He could hear Lieutenant's heart beating through his bending, through his whole body, slow and steady and safe. It seemed right that if Lieutenant woke up, he could listen to Amon's in return.
Maybe it'd make him realize why he couldn't just die on him yet. Dying for Amon was all well and good, but living for him was, Amon thought, much more valuable.
"Go for it."
…i'm really curious about the context of this. are they having an argument? is lieutenant finally gonna kiss the amon? (aslk;faj the details on his glove, i can't, yessssssss)
"You said you trust me with your life."
"I do."
"I see. You can trust me with your life, but not your true face."
"The time will come for me to reveal myself, Lieutenant. I ask only for your patience."
"And my trust?"
"If I didn't have your trust, you wouldn't stand by my side."
Never mind me, reblogging my own art because eeeeeee fic♥♥♥
eeee, both fic and art are gorgeous 8D
now i want to write fic about motercycle!lieumons sometime
in this verse, noatak got in a brawl with lieutenant at some point and lieutenant schooled him with his taser sticks before noatak bloodbent him
and noatak went "wow, science is stronger than bending. TEACH ME YOUR WAYS, HOT STUFF, SO I CAN BE THE MOST POWERFUL
why am i so turned on by being defeated"
(and lieutenant knows noatak is a bender and is ok with it because he has no problems with benders if they aren't huge dickheads about it, and noatak is only a tiny dickhead with self-hate issues)
and lieutenant was like "well ok" and noatak moved in and was all bossy and lieutenant rolled with it because he cannot be phased. he is unphasable. and he's called lieutenant because he won't tell noatak his name out of trolling. and all of noatak's yakone-induced defense mechanisms just bounce off lieutenant and noatak slowly relaxes and lets down his guard, and noatak's the first person to ~care~ about lieutenant in a while and he stops pretending he's ok with being completely self sufficient and alone, and they slowly open up to each other. first as friends, and then there are ridiculous make outs where lieutenant is the only person who knows where to put his hands but they somehow
together, they fight crime so that lieutenant can get his fucking patents in and they develop awesome engineering shit using noatak's bending and lieutenant's engineering, and save people with SCIENCE!!!
(and I realize this is drawing a lot of dynamics from lapin's fantastic fics, Once Is Happenstance and The Lovers That Went Wrong which are both fantastic, you all should go read them right now)
Vroom vroom incoming collision.
Someone is going to be on the receiving end of a long boring lecture later on driving safety.
Also, I give up on this damn drawing. I don't want to look at it anymore.
Oh god helllppppp this is too adorable and kjsdhfks
lieu he would be doing a lot less backseat driving if you didnt keep trying to get the both of you killed
mtorcycles aND BABIES!!!!!!!
"I know what I'm doing," Lieutenant said, veering between a truck and a brick building. Noatak saw his life flash past his eyes for the third time in as many minutes and gripped Lieutenant's shoulders tighter.
"No, you don't! We almost got pasted onto that wall!"
"We're never going to catch those kidnappers if we don't - ha, there's their car," Lieutenant said. "I need you to mess up the liquids in their engine so they have to pull over, Noatak! Can you do that?"
"I think - ah - there's a trash can don't run into it I can do it if you don't give me a heart attack," ("Hey!") Noatak said through clenched teeth, reached out with the hand not clinging to Lieutenant and yanked at whatever water he could find in the car's engine.
The car went into a spin and drove into a sidestreet, and Lieutenant grinned. "Let's get over there."
"No, don't drive right into traffic - !"
Noatak kept his eyes firmly shut until the motorcycle came to a stop. They'd driven into the side alley with the gangsters and their car, and a few of them were stepping out of the car with hands alight.
He didn't have time for this. He reached out and shoved, changing the blood pressure in their brains, and they all collapsed.
Lieutenant whistled. "Nice. How'd you do that?"
"I psychically showed them the drive you just took me on."
Noatak stumbled off the bike and pressed his back against the sweet, sweet, not moving alley wall. "Get Mr. Sato out of the car. We're going to steal it. I'm not getting back on that bike, and it won't fit three anyway."
"Whatever you say, boss," Lieutenant said. "I'll put the bike in the trunk."
"Who taught you how to drive? Drunken badgermoles?"
Lieutenant did his best to look insulted as he kicked a gangster out of the way of the trunk. "At least I can drive, tundra brat."
"Screw you."
"Already have."
Noatak groaned.
Where does your loyalty lie, Lieutenant?
I ship the angst in these two. PHOTOSHOP-ING IS DIE. Never really like coloring in it. Couldn't make a moody night-time effect so I gave up. & Uhm, drawing may have mistakes in perspective. Will start w/ Lieumon week sketches this weekend. Maybe.
K. Off for the week. /BRB DYING
/dies ;; nooo my preshuses

Excerpt from: Nirvana: The Last Nightmare, Chapter 1
"Perfection is not a goal; it is already there. You are born perfect; only perfection happens in this existence, nothing else. Out of godliness, how can imperfection happen? Only perfection is possible. The idea that you have to be perfect makes you imperfect in the present, because the comparison arises. You go on comparing yourself with others. Somebody is more beautiful, somebody is more intelligent, somebody is more moral, somebody is more sincere, somebody is more healthy, somebody is stronger…. And you are crippled in these comparisons; such a dead weight falls on your head that you cannot move. But you have forgotten one thing: you are you, and you cannot be anybody else.
"Once you accept the fact that you are you and whatsoever you do you are not going to be anybody else, you are going to remain yourself… once you accept it, a transfiguration happens. You start living. Then you don't bother about the future. Then you are not in the rat race of being somebody else. Then you are no longer comparative, no longer competitive. Then you also become a rose under the window, you exist with godliness today. If you are not existing with it today, you will be in a nightmare.
"Buddha realized this. He was the first man to realize it in its absoluteness. He dropped all ideals." Osho
In this title, Osho talks on the following topics:
god... nirvana... life... anger... pope... contradictory... male... muso... copernicus... ginsberg...

Special report: Professional indemnity insurance – A survival guide
4 August 2014
As the battle over the future of the Solicitors Indemnity Fund continues, Shaun Pye investigates whether the insurance industry is really willing to replace it.
A left-wing wit once observed that the reason Margaret Thatcher won so many elections was because "at least you always knew where you were with her".
The Solicitors Indemnity Fund's (SIF) survival beyond the autumn may depend on a similar form of logic. Premiums may be considered high (in some cases this year over 100 per cent higher than last year) and firms may have to pay an additional 30 per cent to fund the £450m shortfall - but what would happen if the fund were to suddenly vanish?
At the Law Society's roadshows on the future of professional indemnity, SIF's managing director Elizabeth Mullins has skilfully played on the profession's fears of the open market. Do not be seduced by brokers' blase promises of cheaper premiums, she says. What happens when the market hardens in two years' time?
True enough, objective facts about "approved insurance" are hard to come by. In March, Sedgewick Risk Consulting approached three underwriters on behalf of the Law Society - Admiral, American Insurance Group (AIG) and Royal & Sun Alliance - to obtain quotes for 58 specimen firms. One of the insurers, believed to be AIG, quoted premiums higher than SIF's in nearly 70 per cent of cases.
AIG declined to comment on this. According to the Law Society, the other two underwriters "declined" to quote premiums for any of the firms on the grounds they may be offering a different level of deductible to SIF.
The exercise suggested that the open market was expensive and uninterested in insuring solicitors. However, The Lawyer understands that the two companies who "declined" merely said they required more information and were "furious" when the results were published.
Last month, another study by brokers Nelson Hurst & Marsh and Robert Flemings on behalf of the November Group which opposes SIF, reached an opposite conclusion to Sedgewick. They approached one Lloyd's underwriter to obtain quotes for over 200 firms. Its quotes were cheaper than SIF's 1997 bills in over 70 per cent of cases. They also canvassed opinions on insuring solicitors from nine Lloyd's underwriters and six insurance companies, concluding that underwriters were eager to replace SIF and that no "doors are shut" to any part of Nelson Hurst's suggested approved insurers scheme.
Of course, the insurance industry is big enough to sustain many different opinions. There are clearly a large number of underwriters willing to insure solicitors - many already do. About £100m of premiums are paid out to the open market by law firms for top-up insurance of up to £200m above SIF's £1m cover, and for in-fill insurance, covering firms against having to pay out the deductible.
So if insurance companies are happy to offer extended coverage, why not for the first £1m in coverage currently offered by SIF? "Why not indeed?" answer the insurance companies.
Bob Ripley of Royal & Sun Alliance says: "I would have thought there will be a sizeable interest for moving into that market." Colin Buchanan at AIG agrees, saying: "We will consider every opportunity as it arises."
But not everyone is convinced. Tracey Ambrose at insurers Chubb says: "I can't see us looking at that market. It already has a £450m shortfall. I can't see how we could make money unless we cherry-picked the best practices."
Buchanan says: "Looking at the deficit, will there be a charge into the market by underwriters inexperienced in professional indemnity?" Rob Gillies at the Lloyd's-based Non-Marine Association says about half the 30-40 Lloyd's syndicates currently writing top-up insurance do not want to enter the primary insurance market.
So what do underwriters think insurance on the open market would cost firms? Surprisingly perhaps, the consensus is that, overall it will cost more than SIF. Reg Brown of RE Brown & Others says: "Solicitors as a profession are collectively better off where they are. Insurers have their own cost and profit margin as well as the brokers fee - £200m could easily become £250m." Ambrose asks: "How can the market possibly be cheaper than a mutual fund?"
Gillies says that "cut throat" competition among syndicates could make approved insurance cheap for the first few years, but after a "bloodbath at the beginning", premiums will rise. He says firms are unlikely to negotiate insurance separately but will buy insurance collectively, either through local law societies or organisations like the Solicitors Property Group. This will hand purchasing power to the brokers who "might screw down the underwriters".
The market is equally candid about the fate of firms with poor claims records. Gillies says that 30 per cent of firms from across the spectrum will have a problem buying insurance. Reg Brown says it is hard to make firm predictions as only SIF has access to individual firm's details but adds: "The high street firms will probably be the biggest losers as it appears they are the ones causing the most concern."
More positively, the insurers almost universally accept that they will have to fund an assigned risk pool. In return for a share of the good risks, underwriters will have to insure a proportion of the firms with the worst claims records - albeit for significantly hiked premiums. Such firms would have a period of grace, probably two years, to get their risk management in order.
Of course there will be winners. Gillies says firms with good records have nothing to fear. He adds that between the major firms, which insure massively on the open market already and small firms, paying smaller premiums, there is a "middle tranche" of firms which could benefit massively as underwriters compete for their business.
Many insurers say that a big change would be the open market's insistence that firms notify of "circumstances" which could lead to a claim rather than, as with SIF, only actual claims.
No-one in the insurance industry is counting chickens. In stark contrast to the opprobrium heaped on SIF by sections of the legal profession, insurers regard SIF with respect. One underwriter says: "SIF's claims handling procedure, for example, is simply phenomenal."
And no-one is underestimating the Law Society's desire to stand by its creation. When it is suggested to Reg Brown that SIF will lose the argument this autumn he chuckles. "We're waiting with baited breath. SIF be abolished? Don't you believe it."
