Treghet's Ultra Rad 2014 Thread
I've been procrastinating a lot, but I'm finally going to get this started. Over the past few weeks I've been trying to catch up on releases I had yet to check out and then attempting to finalize my list. I'm sure I've missed out on a lot of great stuff, but now that we're ten days into January I've decided it's now or never if I want to post a 2014 list.
What can you expect from this thread? I'll mostly be writing about my love for J-pop, which is superior to that Korean bullshit that mankvill listens to. I'll also write extensive pieces on my favorite beatdown hardcore releases, because I can never get enough of that sick pit riffment. Prepare yourselves...

01.27 Dark Tranquillity
In regards to shows, 2014 wasn't very exciting for me, but I'll do a short recap of my year. I only attended seven shows last year due to money constraints. There were a ton of others I would have liked to see, but I think the ones I picked to attend made up for that deficit. The overall funnest one I went to this year was Scion Rock Fest. The lineup this time around was definitely not as strong as the 2011 one, but I got to hangout with a bunch of friends and watch some bands I had never had the opportunity to see before. One of those bands was Jex Thoth, who put on a stellar performance in a tiny nightclub above the Fox Theater. As far as I know it was their first time playing out here and I had the pleasure to meet Jessica afterward.
As much fun as I had at Scion Rock Fest though, the greatest show for me in 2014 would have to be the first one I attended, Possessed. They're a band I had been wanting to see for a while, but every time they came around it just didn't work out for me. This time they were hitting the Whisky a Go-Go on a weeknight and I wasn't quite sure if I was going to make it, but after a friend let me know that they had been playing Seven Churches in its entirety at previous shows I then decided I had to go no matter what. After I got out of class that evening I got on the freeway to LA. I arrived at the venue a bit before Possessed was supposed to go on and found my friend hanging out by the doors. He was hanging out with a guy I didn't know. A couple minutes after I walked up the guy left to pick up his ticket at the box office and then my friend let me know that it was Don Doty, formerly of Dark Angel. I didn't even recognize him until he said that, and it seemed that nobody else did either, because we were the only ones talking to him out of the large crowd on the sidewalk. After he had picked up his ticket we talked with him for a while longer until Jeff Becerra arrived for Possessed's set. I usually don't care much for meeting musicians, but Don Doty has long been one of my idols and he was really nice in person, so I was I glad to have to opportunity to chat with him.
That was only the icing on the cake for the night though, as Possessed ending up playing all of Seven Churches. They actually weren't planning on doing it though, because the set they had on stage only listed eight of the ten songs from the album. The other two were unplanned encores for the sold out crowd that was demanding more. Possessed might not be the same band it was many years ago, but to hear that classic album performed in its entirety was something I could never have dreamed of.

Top Disappointments of 2014
The Satanist
It's needless to say that there was a huge amount of anticipation for this release within the metal community, but at first I didn't share that feeling. Behemoth was one of the first extreme metal bands I got into, but over the past few years my interest in their death metal material has waned. Not even seeing them on their comeback tour could reignite the flame for me. Regardless, I was still following what the band was up to and after reading multiple reviews for this album claiming that they had incorporated more black metal elements into their sound my curiosity was piqued. It also helped that the band chose my favorite artist, Denis Forkas, to create the cover for the album. Slowly I felt the anticipation rising within me, but unfortunately all of this led to a massive disappointment. Of course I didn't expect them to do a full 180 back to their black metal origins, but there is hardly any black metal influence to be seen on this record. There are a couple black metal riffs thrown in here and there, such as the intro to "Furor Divinus", but this album is really not that different from the band's last output, Evangelion. The songwriting is a bit stripped down in comparison, but the overall approach to the music is the same. While this might appeal to most of their fans, I desired something different.
Night Jerks
A few years back Okkultokrati burst onto the Norwegian scene with a great debut album, No Light for Mass. They combined elements of hardcore punk with black metal influences, creating a sound unlike any other. I don't think they ever garnered the attention they deserved for that release. I found their second album to be quite enjoyable as well, although not quite as strong as the first. Since then I haven't been listening to much hardcore, but Okkultokrati is one of the few bands I continued to keep an eye on. I was excited to hear they were writing a third record, but when I clicked the link to listen to the first single from it I wasn't even sure if it was the same band. What the hell happened? I really can't begin to explain what it sounds like, but believe me when I say it is total shit. There are two songs on the album that sound more like their previous records, but the rest of it is so far out there that they might as well have released the album under a different name. If you want an example, just compare the song "Rose Crux" to anything from their aforementioned debut. It's sad to see a band that had so much potential decide to throw away everything that made them worth listening to in the first place.
The Inevitable End
Röyksopp has long been one of my favorite bands. The electronic duo has consistently put out impressive albums up until now. Each record they've released has been vastly different from the one before it and I expected this one to be no different in that regard. Their last full length, Senior, was an instrumental ambient / downtempo record and since then they've released a collaboration mini album with Swedish pop star Robyn, which was more in the vein of synthpop. All of the interviews and album reviews pointed towards The Inevitable End being a more solemn album, while retaining the warm sound Röyksopp has become known for. I can't say I particularly agree with those assessments though. While this album might feel more solemn, it has been completely stripped of Röyksopp's trademark style. Sometimes it feels like nothing more than stereotypical Euro dance club music manufactured for the masses. There are a few tracks that seemed to have little to no effort put into them, the most notable of those being "Rong", which primarily consists of the lyric "What the fuck is wrong with you?" repeated over and over again. This is not the innovative electronic duo I've come to know and it pains me to even listen to it. With that said though, there is still one remarkable song that I need to mention, and that is "Running to the Sea", featuring Susanne Sundfør, my favorite singer. Without her on the album The Inevitable End would have been completely worthless to me.
Sadistic Intent
Reawakening Horrid Thoughts
Throughout the '90s Sadistic Intent persisted in the underground scene with a few stellar EPs and then abruptly stopped producing new material. They were supposed to release a full length in the late '90s, but that fell through, and it seems that they were never able to regain support from a record label after that. Their last new song came on a split 7" in 1998. After many years of silence the band would finally reawaken in 2014 to release a new EP. I really didn't think it would ever come out, seeing as that full length is supposedly still in the works. It happened though, and in September the band released Reawakening of Horrid Thoughts. Given that Sadistic Intent had never released anything lackluster in the past, I bought the record when I saw them that month opening for Exumer. I couldn't wait to put it on my turntable. As the record spun though, I couldn't help but feel like this release didn't stand up to any of their previous works.
The first song on EP is "Malignant Spirits", which was originally written to be released as a Possessed song before Rick and Bay split from Jeff Becerra. The opening riff of this song is nearly as infectious as any of the classic Possessed material, but the production on this release holds it back from reaching its full potential. The guitar sound is a bit thin and the vocals sound like they were recorded on a cheap computer headset. The second song on the release, "Horrid Thoughts", is actually an old track from the earliest days of the band. Unfortunately its age is very apparent here. The songwriting is nowhere near the same level as "Malignant Spirits". The Darkthrone cover that closes the EP is not particularly interesting to me either, so overall this EP is one for three in my book. After so many years of not releasing any new material I really expected the band to put their best foot forward and release something truly memorable, but that was not the case. Who knows when they will put out something new again, but I hope the next release is better than this one.
Tibi et Igni
After Vader's great return to form a few years ago with Welcome to the Morbid Reich I was really excited to hear what they would come out with next. The artwork for Tibi et Igni shows some semblance to the early '90s old school death metal works, much like Welcome to the Morbid Reich's cover does, so I was hoping for a continuation of that style. The band had also adopted a more traditional leather and studs image, further alluding to my assumptions of a more old school influenced album. I really could not have been more wrong though. While there are a couple tracks on this record that are reminiscent of the past, such as "Where Angels Weep", the overall feel of the album is their most modern and streamlined one to date. The symphonic elements that the band has used sparingly in the past have been put in the spotlight in a few songs, which is a major turn off to my ears. "The Eye of the Abyss" is a prime example of this and it also includes a horrendous Lamb of God-esque breakdown about 2/3 in. If it wasn't for a couple of decent tracks on this record I would say it's the worst thing they've ever released, but it somehow manages to barely edge out The Beast.

Expectations might have a lot to do with it, because I can see your point about hearing the rumors about the increased amount of black metal elements, only to find out that there are basically very few present. I would have been bummed too if that were the case for me. I didn't hear those rumors. In fact, my expectations were set low to begin with because Evangelion was pretty mediocre, and I was willing to concede that the first Behemoth album after Nergal's recovery might not be all that good. When I heard people praising it upon its release, the only "spoiler" rumor I heard was that it was a pretty different sound for them (i.e., not all super fast from start to finish), so I adjusted my expectations a little and was prepared for that aspect as well.
Based on all of the above, then, I would say that when I first listened to The Satanist, I had little to no expectations about it and I just tried to keep my mind open. What I heard was something massively different than what you did, I think - not to say that either one of us is right or wrong, just to say that perception is everything. When I get around to the write-up in my thread (which is just getting off the ground as well), I look forward to reading any comments you might have.

Top 20 Releases of 2014
This list will include albums, EPs, and demos.
Satanic Warmaster
Werwolf's tried and true formula for raw black metal had been unchanged since he first started Satanic Warmaster in the late '90s, but with the fifth album he has finally decided to do something differently. On Fimbulwinter he has ditched the lo-fi sound for a sleek digital recording. Needless to say there was a small amount of backlash from certain fans, but most were welcoming to the change. The music is no different from the previous albums, it's just been given a glossy finish this time around. Although I enjoyed this album more than Nachzehrer, I think a few songs had slightly missed the mark here. If each track was as strong as "Fimbulwinter's Spell" this could have been among Werwolf's strongest works and definitely would have landed the album a higher spot on my list.
Fimbulwinter's Spell
Stillbirth in the Temple of Venus
Arizmenda has become one of the most prominent bands in the Black Twilight Circle by creating some of the strangest black metal to come out in recent years. Murdunbad, the mastermind of the project, composes melancholic, twisted riffs that are layered in a thick wall of noise on top of his tortured screams. The songwriting doesn't deviate too much from the previous two records, but I think there are more interesting melodies to be found here versus the last effort. Unfortunately this album has yet to receive a proper release and the version available right now is a low quality dub that was made to be sold at a show. The pro-tape and vinyl versions will hopefully be out soon. The two digital tracks online sound much better than the tape dub does.
Cum In Your Wound
It has been far too long since Nifelheim last gave us anything new to headbang to, so it was a welcomed surprise when they announced they were back in the studio. The resulting effort is a three song EP which harks back to black metal's more primitive origins with thrash infused riffs and ripping solos. The vocals are drenched in reverb and the guitar tone is thin, giving the illusion that this record actually came out of the late '80s or early '90s. After seven years of silence on the recording front I was unsure if Nifelheim could still deliver something memorable, but they have done so yet again.
From Hell's Vast Plains
Over the past decade New Zealand has produced a few incredibly abrasive metal bands, which has brought international attention to its small scene. Diocletian stands on the frontline of this scene with their militaristic brand of black/death. Gesundrian picks up where the last record left off, delivering more relentless blasting and a barrage of vicious riffs. It slams you to the ground and tramples you until the end. With this album Diocletian has proven that they are the best in their field right now.
Summoning Fear
Now for another type of relentless blasting. There are few modern grindcore bands that I find myself enjoying, but Gridlink is one of the exceptions. With the first two albums, Amber Gray and Orphan, they made their stake in the genre by crafting a form of extremely technical insanity. Longhena continues that tradition, but there is also an increased amount of melody to be found here. Yes, melody in grindcore, and they implement it without losing the intensity of the music. What Gridlink has done is show that there is room for new ideas in the genre, which makes it that much more of a shame that they've now broken up.
Constant Autumn
5.31 Grave Miasma
6.3 Voivod
6.5 Discharge
Newly formed and ready to put their stamp on the underground, Sacrificio have made their debut release. This Spanish three piece is devoted to the ways of the old, taking inspiration from the mid 80s black metal releases, most notably those by Hellhammer. They reinvigorate this now classic sound with a more extreme take by using hellish screams and a meatier production. Much like the genre founders they play their instruments with an unhinged ferocity, abusing them to their limitations. The raucous drumming and wailing guitar solos make no attempt to sound elegant. This isnt meant to be easy listening. Given the strength of this first release Im looking forward to hearing what these guys do next.
Vástagos de la Abominación
Dead Congregation
Promulgation of the Fall
For a lot of people this was one of the most anticipated metal releases of the year, but I wasnt immediately buying into the hype. I enjoyed Dead Congregations debut album, but I dont feel it is nearly as great as many fans make it out to be. Regardless, I was looking forward to hearing Promulgation of the Fall, and when I did I was taken aback. Simply put, this album hits you like a ton of bricks. The Incantation and Immolation influences on the guitar work are undeniable, with plenty of crushing passages and off-kilter riffing to be found. The production is incredibly dense, helping to bring out the power in the guitars. The guttural vocals add another texture to the foreboding atmosphere of the record. Many bands have attempted to emulate this style, but none have captured its essence clearer than Dead Congregation has on this album.

Agreed that we should compare the CAAD and the Synapse Alloy with respect to the frames only - not the bias of the attached components.
Comparing a size 56 CAAD and Synapse Alloy, both having a 56 cm top tube and 73.5 deg seat tube angles, here's a summary:
- the head tube on the CAAD is shorter and steeper than on the Synapse
- wheelbase on the CAAD is shorter than the Synapse's
- chainstay on the CAAD is shorter than the Synapse's
Obviously the Synapse frame is "larger", and as the former poster pointed out the Synapse has thicker tubing, making it heavier than the CAAD. Furthermore the CAAD is manufactured with a newer process making the tubing even thinner without sacrificing strength (according to Cannondale), making it even lighter.
A "smaller" frame on the CAAD makes it stiffer, and the more compact geometry makes it more responsive in terms of power transfer and steering.
The "larger" geometry on the Synapse makes for a more relaxed (upright) position than on the "smaller" CAAD.
Not sure what you mean about the Synapse frame feeling sturdier. I specifically bought the Caad9 over an alloy Synapse because the Synapse felt more flexy. Not as noticeable on the carbon model I eventually bought.

Hi all. Hope someone can help me with this error message.
my laptop recently got affected by some trojan and I have removed it with a
few cleaners.
1.Symantec Anti-Virus
2.Windows Defender
3.Live One Care
4.A-Squared Free
6.Spybot, search&destroy.
These Programs comes together with the laptop. I never had to do all the
full scan but windows explorer couldn't act properly (windows explorer had to
shut down whenever I open My Computer directory).
After removal, everything is solved and all programs are working. however,
Windows Update couldnt start because of this error code 80070422.
My Laptop details: Windows Vista Entreprise, Service pack 1, Processor: AMD
Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor TK-53 1.7 GHz, RAM: 2GB, System Type:
32-bit Operating System.
these are the solutions i have tried:
Running Full scan again. No viruses/malware/trojan or whatever thingy was
found. Windows is back to normal. After re-boot, windows update works again,
but only for a while, after that security center alert me that windows update
is turned off. (No windows update = no update for defender OMG ><).
Check if BITS is enabled. using command prompt. yes it is.
- Check if Windows Module Installer is on Manual (yes it is)
- Windows Module Installer is running.
- Windows Update (Using Adminstartive Tools > Services > windows Update
(properties). I realised that it is Disabled so i click on Automatic, and it
switch back to Disabled again. I have done this repeatedly and when the
status is on Automatic (which it should be), Its service status wrote :
Stopped. ok. I click on start, a pop up shows up : "Error 1058: The Service
cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled
devices associated with it."
- There were several successful attempts and windows manage to get the
lastest update. However, the windows update service fails most of the times.
Its basically all the Trustable solution here I can find on the web. There a
few websites asking me to dowload this anti-malware or that anti-whatever or
whatever... I don't think I should really trust those things...
I hope someone with technical experience can help me out with this. Thank
you so much!
Thank you Thank you!!

Rernember that name. For Orson is one of the greatest towns in the world. Of course, Orson isn't as big as London, or New York, or Bagdad, or perhaps Oshkqsh. But Orson ' has done something that none of the so-called 'great' cities of the world has ever done. Orson has dodged all local taxes—successfully and honestly. The Orson railway is free to every citizen of the town. The telephone service is free. Schools and libraries cost the citizens absolutely nothing. All because a generation or two ago, the patriotic people of Ojson planted trees. Orson has a municipal forest that has yielded the town $5, -000,000 in the past thirty years. And the $5,000,000 has paid the running expenses of the town. Of course there isn't anything to hinder any American town from doing the same thing. But we don't notice any American town doing it. To date Milwaukee seems to be the only American town that has even thought about it. But it's worth thinking about, isn't it? Also it might be worth while to consider at the same time the fact that while Orson was payinff her municipal expenses for the past year from the proceeds of her well-kept forest the American nation, through neglect of her forests, was suffering a loss of $200,000,000 and more than 100 lives."—Commoner.

And what a difference it would make if every quarter section had from five to ten acres of hard wood trees, which in twenty to thirty years would possess more value than half of the balance of the farm.

Finally on Monday last he was out of change to pay for meals or for whiskey, and he ^ waddled into the hospital 'and told j Di". keneiick that he was sick and j wanted to go straight to bed. He i thought he ha<l appendicitis and wanted an operation. He said he was all right for the costs and handed the doctor a life insurance policy that he got from Charlie Nolte. The doctor looked at him and said to him, "You haven't got appendicitis. All you have got is a jag. I'll find you a bed." He called in the marshal, and that ofTi-cial gave the befuddled veterinarian a bed in jail. The nfext morning his honor, Mayor.

Elvira Goagoses | Jan 14, 2013 | Africa: Namibia I have been playing football for Special Olympics Namibia since 2009 and was selected to play on the Special Olympics Unified Football team that participated in the 2010 Football For Hope Festival in South Africa which coincided with the FIFA World Cup. I continued playing and also part time volunteering as an assistant coach at the Katutura Football For Hope Centre, in Memory of Eunice Kennedy Shriver in Namibia and also attended the Regional Athlete Leadership training (ALPs) held in Namibia in 2011. I was very happy when I was selected to be part the Unified 7-a-side team that participated in the Unity Cup in South Africa in Rustenburg from the 3rd to the 6th of October 2012. Going to South Africa was a dream come true to me. I have learned to be a team leader and how to communicate well with others. I used to be a very shy person but participating in such a big tournament boosted my confidence. When I came back from the Unity Cup, I started playing street soccer with the friends I made on this Unified team. Some of these friends registered and started playing regular club football with a local women club team in Namibia called Blue Waters Football Club. The club is one of the top level women teams in the women's league in the Namibia. The coach for the Blue Waters saw me playing on the street after she was informed by my friends and he noted my skills and was very happy with the way I played so he invited me to try out for the team. I was very excited when I made the team as this has been my dream, to play high level football one day in my life.After a few months playing with the Blue Waters, I am now a starting striker on the team. This is a big achievement for me. I play with players without disabilities and I can do what they can and even much better than most of them. I love Special Olympics so much because it opened this door for me. About Me:I am 17 years old. I am a Special Olympics Namibia athlete specialized in football.

Corps changes former marina site to Habitat Restoration Area
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is in the process of changing the former Hidden Harbor Marina site in Dekalb County, Tenn. to a Habitat Restoration Area. This designation allows the Corps to restore this area while keeping public access to the water available.
In 2007, Hidden Harbor Marina relocated approximately one mile downstream to the former Holmes Creek Recreation Area, most of which was closed by the Corps in 2003. Earlier this year, the marina owners completed the demolition and removal of the marina's facilities at the former site, and restored the area.
This new designation of this site as a Habitat Restoration Area will allow the Center Hill Lake staff to use a management strategy designed to improve wildlife habitat by returning the area to its most natural state, while allowing the launching ramp and paved parking lot to remain open for public use.
For information concerning this action, contact the Center Hill Lake Resource Manager's office at (931) 858-3125 or (615) 548-4521.

Although Americans' wallets may feel thinner because of the recession, consumers are apparently willing to spend almost a dollar more on lunch. New research from Intellaprice, a pricing intelligence firm serving the restaurant and beverage industries, concluded that most food items were more expensive in 2010 compared to 2009.
Intellaprice's study, in its fourth year, was conducted in August and September and involved price information for nearly 12,000 beverages and 14,000 food items from casual dining chains in 21 markets nationwide.
The research concluded that entrees were up by 6 percent to 13 percent, while alcohol prices were up 3 percent.
"In a recession when restaurant customers are perceived to be worried about high prices, you might guess that price increases on entrées would be minimal. And you'd be wrong," said Leslie Kerr, pricing consultant and Intellaprice founder. "What we're seeing instead is the classic loss leader pricing strategy."
A loss leader is a heavily discounted product, such as a dollar double cheeseburger, designed to bring customers through the door. But as customers also buy a drink and fries, or bring in dining companions, the loss is offset.
"There's no question that deals are still the top means of luring guests in," Kerr said. "You may see price promotions on TV, but the overall menu tells another story: the need to cover costs through price increases."
Findings concluded that lunch entrees were up by 93 cents; dinner entrees increased by 72 cents; and kids' entrees rose by 30 cents. Side items and appetizer costs also were higher. The only categories that showed price decreases were add-ons and desserts.
New York boasts the most expensive dinner entrees, averaging $15.01, while Los Angeles had the most expensive lunch entrees, at $9.27 on average.
Alcoholic beverage prices increased at a slower pace than entrees, according to the study. While bottled beer and cocktail prices were up, domestic and imported draft beer prices were down 8 cents and 11 cents, respectively.
"This year, increases of more than 20 cents on cocktails are rare," Kerr said.
Though the 19-cent average increase on drinks may seem low, Kerr said it's based on a lower average price of $5.86 in 2009 that rose to $6.05 in 2010.
Traditionally, a high portion of restaurants' profits come from the bar. And, while Intellaprice's research shows a conservative change, and even a price decrease in drafts, alcohol sales are expected to increase by nearly 2 percent in 2011. This projection is according to Technomic, a food and beverage consulting company based out of Chicago.
Technomic's prediction is attributed to an improved sales climate at eating and drinking establishments, and an increase in away-from-home entertaining.
"The past several years were brutal for the alcohol category in bars and restaurants. Consumers were trading down to value offerings or simply not ordering alcohol at all," said David Henkes, vice president at Technomic. "As conditions improve, we expect to see positive sales growth in 2011."
Spirits-based drinks will see the highest rate of growth in 2011 at 2.3 percent, with some return to more expensive cocktails and premium brands. Wine sales will increase by 1.4 percent, and beer sales are expected to grow 1.6 percent and will be supported by continued strength in the craft/microbrew category.
Cautious optimism
While restaurants continue to bring in crowds, despite higher tickets, and alcohol flows abundantly, not all signs are pointing toward a full recovery just yet.
Kerr said the price increases mean restaurants are doing all they can to maintain profits.
"The goal of the discount meal deals you see on TV is to increase customer traffic. But we've seen some brands report that their profit suffers because of the deep discounting -- traffic is up, but average spending per meal goes down. The restaurants need to do what they can to offset the profit loss from discounts," she said.
Henkes added that the industry still has a way to go for full recovery.
"The fact is we're comparing 2011 to a very weak year in 2010," he said. "There are still some longer-term structural issues in the economy, including unemployment, that tell us that the improvement in alcohol sales won't be as robust as it has been after previous downturns."

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain should hand most of its shares in Royal Bank of Scotland <RBS.L> and Lloyds Banking Group <LLOY.L> to the public, an influential think tank said, in what would be the country's biggest ever privatization.
Here are the government's main options:
Sell a minority tranche of shares to institutional investors and distribute the rest to taxpayers.
This would allow a quick full privatization, recoup most of the government's money, offer a low-risk windfall to taxpayers, and remove the overhang of share sales, allowing RBS and Lloyds shares to rise, think tank Policy Exchange said.
Risks to the plan are that RBS and Lloyds shares may not rise above a floor price for some time - which could create a frustrated public - or the logistical issues of distributing shares to up to 48 million people.
This is a typical exit route and has appeared to be the Finance Ministry's preferred option.
It involves sales of tranches of shares, probably of up to 5 billion pounds a time, and has the advantage of being flexible in terms of the size and timing, depending on share price performance.
The problem is with less than two years until the next parliamentary election there is a limit to how much could be sold, which hinges mainly on the share price performance. The government could have to pledge not to sell more shares for 6-12 months after each chunk, which means the sale of the RBS stakes could take more than a decade.
The government could also attempt to seek a sovereign wealth fund or other big investor to take a large slice of shares.
A traditional privatization to financial institutions and the general public, like those for BT <BT.L> in the 1980s. The 1986 sale of British Gas had a campaign to encourage more private share ownership, or to "Tell Sid" about it.
This route would allow the government to sell a bigger stake in the banks.
There are big risks, however, including that the public could lose money - which is seen as politically dangerous given taxpayers' anger at the bailouts banks have already received.
To avoid this a bigger discount could be applied. But this could have to be offered to all European Union citizens under EU law. Another flaw is that wealthy individuals are more likely to participate, whereas all taxpayers contributed to the bailout.
The government could give away shares to taxpayers, although this would be the most painful option at a time when it is trying to improve the country's finances.
Giving taxpayers the full value of RBS shares would trigger a writedown in Treasury accounts of at least 33 billion pounds ($51 billion), and close to 50 billion if Lloyds shares were given away too, Policy Exchange said.
There would also be the risk of people immediately dumping millions of shares as soon as they received them.
The government could consider transactions like an exchangeable debt issue, where shares are sold at a future date and at a predetermined price, to ensure a target is achieved.
These transactions are likely to be modest in size and could accompany any institutional placement strategy.
($1 = 0.6442 British pounds)

I was recently commissioned by the Telegraph to produce an editorial illustration to accompany their feature on new car registrations.
Very excited to announce that some of my new cycling art prints are now avaliable through the Vulpine Cycle Clothing website.
To the cyclists – It's at this time of year that the road cycling world really slows down. Less races, unless Cyclocross is your thing (and it should be!) Long, cold rides on icy roads. Getting the miles in through rain ,snow and everything in between. Salt getting into all the expensive bits of your bike grinding them away to dust. I miss it.
This year for the second year running I'm in Pakistan. The winters here In Islamabad aren't particularly harsh. the rainy season has past, crisp fresh sunshine filled days await.
Anyway this illustration is my 'rose tinted' view of cycling back home over winter.
Remember. Enjoy! Appreciate the darkest moments, the pain, the suffering, that's what's going to make this summer your best season yet!
I was recently commissioned by the wonderfully enthusiastic adventurer, Mr Paul Everitt to help design a Buff* to promote his upcoming trip. Rafting the Danube.
*The Buff is a multifunctional headwear performance product as well as being a versatile garment it can be worn in a number of different configurations to provide a high level of comfort, protection and style during outdoor and recreational activities.

"In looking for something that best suits the idea that I had for a 2 year old. This was it. I only wish there was a little glitter on the cup or the bear. I used all of the same colors but played around with the fonts a bit to make it a bit more fun. I loved this!"
"I used this card for my son's 1st Birthday party. I was very positively surprised with the quality of paper for $ and already received many complimets from guests on how cute the invitation was."
"I am so excited about these invitations! They are a perfect compliment to our daughter's party at the zoo and the quality is excellent. Highly recommend."
"I was very happy when I received these cards not long after I placed the order and they were perfect for my son's 1st birthday party! The colors are accurate to the site and I was impressed with the paper quality!"
"This card was exactly what I wanted for my sons first birthday party. He isn't into any specific kids shows yet, so I wanted to do something fun, but semi-adult looking. Very modern card, everyone I sent it to loved it! Good quality, and fast shipping."
