Grade Rich Schefren ...
Website URL: http://www.strategicprofits.com
Company Name: Strategic Profits
Alexa Traffic Rank: 10,179
Rich Schefren is an expert in business optimization, productivity, and business growth. He first had success in the offline business world with The Family Clothing Store in Manhattan and went on to build a chain of profitable hypnosis centers.
Rich started as a consultant, helping many established Internet marketers like Mike Filsaime, Harlan Kilstein and Jeff Walker with his business management training. In 2004, he started Strategic Profits, a company started to help Internet marketers grow their business, and teach them the skills to effectively manage their time and productivity.
Rich first caught attention of the Internet marketing community with the Internet Business Manifesto Report. In the report, he addresses a common problem that many people have: They themselves are responsible for building the content, building the list, building traffic, networking, researching the market, building the business, solving legal matters, buying advertising, setting up the technical aspects of the business, and more.
As a result, most marketers are overwhelmed by all the tasks that are needed to be done. The amount of work and an ineffective strategy to accomplish tasks stalls progress, leads to failed goals, and frustration for the average person. This problem is the biggest reason why so many people fail at building a profitable Internet marketing business. Rich's focus is on setting up systems to automate your business so you can focus on important tasks and have more free time.
One example that Rich addresses is the concept of outsourcing versus out-tasking. While most Internet marketers think they solve the problem of completing their tasks by hiring other people, many are only focusing on the short term results.
It's not uncommon to see outsourced projects fall apart. There are times when the freelance you hire delivers poor quality of work or bails out on the project, resulting in lost time. Even if you successfully outsource a project, the person may not be available for the next project, leaving you to seek out another freelancer.
Rather than constantly cycle through freelancers, Rich advises to build a strong team around you that can help get your tasks done without you babysitting the whole process. By systemizing tasks to a manager and by setting up a hiring process, you eliminate the need to look for new talent.
Rich sells various courses on his website: Business Growth System, Business Acceleration Program, Joint Venture Partnerships Guide, Strengths Mastery Advantage, and Guided Profit System. His main product is the Business Growth System which helps business owners systemize their business through 11 modules to help them increase their bottom line and free up more of their time.
In conclusion, Rich delivers great information on being efficient with your time and effective in your business. His Business Growth System in particular is an effective program that helps you organize your business, manage your time, increase productivity, and set up a system so your business can grow without you having to constantly manage it.
Rich also provides excellent customer service and he backs all his products with a money-back guarantee. The only complaint I have about Rich's training programs is that while it is very comprehensive, there is too much information and it was poorly organized. There is great value but it'll take some time to absorb the information and apply it. If Rich could simplify the training further and present it better, it would really benefit his customers.

So far, that is
First I need to say that I haven't bought anything from this guy. It's not because I think that's not worth it (on the contrary). It's just that I am at the beginning on my IM journey and don't really have thousands to afford. Once I have them, this is going to be my first investment.
What I can and do recommend is the free stuff you can get from this guy. Grab everything, no matter where you are, in what phase.
Why am I so convinced that he is the deal?
Well, first, until I stumbled upon Schefren, I have hardly heard anyone making so much sense about strategy or "the big picture", let alone making it the very center of his entire teachings. And the center is exactly where something vital as strategy should be.
Second - Schefren is showing you how to recognize and leverage your own advantages, unlike the packaged-one-fit-all solutions sold to aspiring internet marketers every day.
Third is how to optimize your work in order to get things done quickly and start making money sooner. He is talking about different kinds of processes - systems and projects - and what kind of work and pace they require.
There's so much more, but I'll stop here. First, like I said, I haven't bought anything from this guy yet. Second, I have to go now and finish my note taking on his 3 hour webinar where he's selling his 3000$ program. Whether you are buying it or not, let me tell you this: first two hours of (free) webinar are pure gold. Listen to it, pause it and take notes.

This guy is one of the real internet marketers
What interests me about Rich is the sense of real you get with his products and website. This guy is down to earth and doesn't try to impress you but advises you to look at solutions whether than problems. I got his "internet Manifesto" which really gave me some great motivation to keep on marketing and really awoke my adventitious side again. Rich Schefren provides translatable messages that aren't hyped up with a whole bunch of marketing words, he tells you what to do in a real way. I've been to his website and his programs and products are expensive so I haven't invested in them but nonetheless his messages are clear to me.

Rich is awesome!
Rich Schefren is one of the best internet marketers in the world. My mentor was even trained by Rich Schefren and he became a big help to his business. This guy teaches us how can we will be successful in the online world. If you listen to this guy you will learn information to make business automation a snap. I can say he can be a key component to anybody's business and he loves helping others instead of marketing to him, he markets with them. He earned me a lot of money. I can say he changed my life with his great advices.

Not For Newbies
Rich is great at what he does. He's a guru's guru. He's a take charge kind of guy. And he kicks you in the butt when you read some of his copy. Because for him a lot of this stuff is easy.
He thinks differently than most of us. He's willing to take risks and say what's really on his mind despite the consequences. That's how he draws people in because he's so "real".
I recently read one of his reports with Jay Abraham. It's all about eliminating constraints. He says (and I completely agree with him) that once you eliminate the constraints in your business you can move forward. Which is to say, "stop looking at the problem and start looking at the solution. " He also says to find out what's stopping you and put a stop to it. Whatever it may be. Most of the time it's fear. And there's only one way to beat that... ACTION.

As a home business owner there's probably two things
you want more than anything else
MORE leads, and MORE cash for your business
FREE Video Shows You How - bit.ly/lFdZQ
Awesome but definitely not for newbies
Rich's stuff is awesome. He's one of the few where you should try to read and implement everything he teaches. Yes his stuff is expensive and I don't think his target market is "newbies". You really need to have an established business to be able to take advantage of most of his stuff, and it's mainly geared towards growing an existing business. This is "real" business stuff, not get-rich-quick make money tomorrow type stuff that so many others are peddling.

Watch out for People who Bandy his name?
Sometimes people bolster themselves prefaced upon the reputation of others. In many instances, I have seen professed "gurus" proclaim that they have gained knowledge as either a student of his or through some business relationship with him. So, while I have no reason to doubt his credentials, I am concerned that people might be duped into buying a product or service just because they see his name. As I have said with other products, be aware of false or misleading advertising. Just because his name is used does not mean that he has anything to do with the product.

He's a nice guy
I am on Rich's mailing list. He does give out a lot of good information. He even sent out The Internet Manifesto, which is a very good read, for free, no strings attached. We do need someone like him especially for a brand newbie like me who are just starting out to guide us in the field.
Yes I totally agreed with this review about his teaching and fundamentals that are a bit too advanced for new guys. It would be better if they are a little more simple and concise. I feel his new traiings are far too costly for newbies to join.
He also gives live training webinars where he answers questions or doubts anyone has. Great GURU.

A chair is part of our lives, it supports our daily activities: it has to be resistant and inviting, we must like it, but it must also respect us, it must make the time we spend in its company pleasant and productive. Many of us spend more time sitting down than standing on our feet; we make important decisions or business deals while we feel at one with a chair… and then politics, agreements, inventions; how many things pass through that fundamental piece of furniture? The more welcoming a chair is, the more pleasant and worthwhile the things we do become. NULITE condenses this spirit inside its very genesis: it comes to us as a solid reality, amenable and elegant, perfect for homes and offices. And it is ready for all in a new version: sophisticated and enriched with major technological elements.
Luxy was established in 1976 as a small producer of chairs in outsourcing, in one of the most important productive areas of Europe, Italy's northeast.

Anthony Green b.1939
Inscribed 'with love Anthony/Green 1967' b.r. and on back of canvas 'Anthony Green/1967/Souvenir de Jeunesse/Madeleine Joscelyne's Lounge'.
Canvas, 60×57 (152·5×145).
Chantrey Purchase from the artist 1968.
Exh: R.A., 1968 (638).
Madeleine Joscelyne is the artist's mother. He wrote (13 April 1969): 'This picture is one of a series of three painted during the period May/June 1967. It was the first of the series and shows my mother in her living room at 12 Friars Avenue, Friern Barnet, London N20. All the objects on the table (bottom right hand corner) relate to the family history over the last 60 years or so. The reproduction chinese? vase was given by M.J. and her sister to their mother in the 1920s when they were adolescents. The two dominoes announce my mother's age in 1967. The photograph is a "retouched" one of her as a "young lady" taken some time around 1925. The dominoes belonged to her mother-in-law Mrs Ada Green - upon my parents' divorce they passed into my possession.
'The other two paintings in the series are entitled - Madeleine Green at home 1949 and: - Madeleine Dupont's dream 1924'.

A Sawyer earns an average wage of $14.06 per hour.
Add this chart to your site:
Copy and paste this HTML:
Sawyers cut things such as wood, stone, and metal in line with necessary specifications, and some also have assembly duties, such as creating cabinets and tables, and ship or install these items when necessary.Read More...
Sawyers must be able to read blueprints and technical drawings, and strong mathematical skills are important in order to conduct proper measurements. They may be expected to use a variety of saws, such as circular saws, wire saws, table saws, and handsaws, and the ability to operate a forklift may also be necessary. Periodic maintenance and troubleshooting may be necessary for the equipment, and because this is a physically strenuous job, physical requirements may include climbing, pushing, kneeling, and lifting heavy items. The job also requires good manual dexterity and repetitive motions, as sawyers often work in sawmills which may be noisy or dusty and not climate-controlled. Exposure to hazardous chemicals is also possible, so it's important to adhere to all safety guidelines at all times.
Experience and training should be obtained through apprenticeships or previous jobs, and some employers provide on-the-job training. A valid driver's license may also be required in order to travel between job sites.

A daily essential

I used to finish Labello Chapstick in 2 days time as it doesn't hydrate well and I had to re-apply it every 5 mins (no exaggeration). When I first tried Vit E lip treatment, I was mind blown that my first application lasted the entire day! I bought 3 thinking that it wild last me a week but I'm happily mistaken. One Vit E lip treatment would last me a month! It hydrates my lips, brings back my natural lip pink colour, plumps it, and my lips look and feel healthy. This is now an essential lippie for me. I shared it to my family and friends and they all stopped using a drugstore Chapstick and opted for high quality vit E lip treatment.

Sherdog.com confirmed Thompson's signing and the matchup with
sources close to the event on Friday. Headlined by a middleweight
confrontation between Chris Leben
and Mark
Munoz, UFC 138 will emanate from LG Arena in Birmingham,
England. The main draw will air in the United States via same-day
tape delay on Spike TV.
De Fries announced his signing with the UFC earlier today. The
25-year-old has been perfect through his seven-fight career,
submitting all of his opponents through his two years as a pro. De
Fries has made an especially effective weapon of the rear-naked
choke, stopping five of his fallen foes with that maneuver. Only
his most recent opponent has escaped the first round against De
Fries, as the Brit finished Stav
Economou in the second round of their July 2 clash.
Thompson has finished all but one of his career victims, knocking
out three while submitting five. The
ZT Fight Skool export has only tasted defeat twice as a pro and
will ride a five-fight winning streak into his UFC debut. Both of
Thompson's defeats have come to UFC-caliber fighters, as the
heavyweight was bested by Joe Vedepo
and Rob
Broughton in 2010, a year in which Thompson fought six times.
Most recently, Thompson submitted Mark Potter
with a rear-naked choke on June 25, finishing his countryman in
just 2:55.
November's UFC 205 lineup could soon have its second title fight.Filed under: Featured, News, UFC read news >>

A proposed amendment to the Private Security Industry Bill was defeated in the final days of the last parliament by 315 to 111 despite vigorous lobbying from the Confederation of British Industry (CBI).
However, Nigel Hickson, head of e-business at the CBI, said he was "reasonably pleased" with the outcome after Home Office minister Charles Clarke gave assurances that IT security consultants would not be licensed in future. "That world has absolutely nothing to fear from it," said Clarke.
"We have got an assurance that there will be no regulation of IT consultants or licensing," said Hickson. However, there is widespread concern that Clarke's assurances have been devalued by the government's refusal to specifically exclude IT security professionals.
"This is simply contradictory to his assurances," said Caspar Bowden, director of the Foundation for Information Policy Research. "I take that to mean the government wants a last resort power to license people in that sector."
He added, "This government has a proven tendency to panic on IT security issues. Despite his flimsy assurances, the fact is the Home Office will be able to introduce licensing without further primary legislation."
In Parliament Clarke attacked shadow home office minister Nick Hawkins and defended the decision not to accept the amendment. "In the event that a criminal individual or organisation sought to develop a presence in the IT security industry in order to undermine companies' security," said Clarke, "is he (Hawkins) suggesting that there should be no process for looking into the people involved and no application of the general principle of the Bill?"
Hawkins was unimpressed. "We attempted yet again to persuade the government but they still aren't listening," he told CW360.com. "The government has learned no lessons from the IR35 debacle."

I'm not writing about a recent trip, though I could! My husband and I have stayed here over 10 times over the years. We're awfully close to Jacksonville, and don't have call to stay overnight much, or we'd have stayed here more!
Joan and Dan are delightful people and enjoy sharing their home with guests. Breakfast is always amazing - and they have lots of recommendations about where to go for dinner and anything you might want to do or know about Jacksonville.
The B&B is just steps away from the St. Johns and is a beautiful area for walking - with lots of little shops and interesting restaurants nearby.
We love the St. Johns House and recommend highly!!

This guy is just a jerk!
Grrrrrrrrrr! Snap! Drool! [Strains against choke collar.] Lemme at 'em!
Proper response would have been to scream.
Brad: typical middle management.
Don't hold your breath, Dylan. If Fauxahontas, robber baron mortgage rollovers, and practicing law without a license is not going to pry him loose from Warren, what makes you thing Benghazi and dead Americans is going to pry him off Obama?
Slap him first chance you get.
Reminds me of Margaret Hamilton during the filming of "The Wizard of Oz." After she was severely burned in a fire sequence, the MGM heads were calling her in the hospital demanding that she get back to work. The doctor threatened to call the police if they called again. She was out for six weeks and had to wear special protective gloves during the rest of the filming.
Get some sleep.
Sleep? what is this "sleep" you speak of? I wish :-(
Wonder when Romney is going to answer many questions and then stick with the same answer in regard to anything…
If you've ever been close to a Senate campaign, you know that this strip is closer to documentary than satire. Sleep, food and personal hygiene are pretty much off the table as election day draws near.
Okay – somebody just go beat the snot outta this idiot.
People like that are the main reason I quit hanging out at Party HQ. Canvassing is all you can do anymore. People are sick unto death of their hijacked televisions and jammed mailboxes.
Somebody needs to break Brad's hip to give him an idea what it's like.
Just remember, folks, this is a portrait of the political class that runs this country. This is how they treat each other. Why do we think they feel any differently about us?

This fresh blood joins a bevy of experienced BYU receivers who, though injured at times, were depressingly underwhelming as a unit last season. Toby Christiansen, a departed senior, was the lone bright spot at wideout.
Experienced returnees who have shown they can contribute substantially include Chris Hale, Rod Wilkerson and Jason Kukahiko.
Kukahiko, a 6-1, 190 pound senior, saw action the past two seasons, but his production was severely hampered last year by injury. He has good size and great hands and knows the offense as well as anyone. If he remains healthy, look for him to rebound with a productive final season in Provo.
Wilkerson, the 6-2, 190 pound senior, was a highly-touted high school defensive back converted by Crowton in 2001 to wide receiver to utilize his blazing 4.2/40 track-speed and to establish a legitimate deep threat for the Cougars.
Wilkerson has shown flashes of brilliance, yet has struggled with consistently catching deep balls in critical situations. He hopes to permanently shred the informal "50/50" moniker his teammates jokingly gave him; a reference to his chances of catching the long yardage bombs deep downfield. His less-than-stellar performances are no joking matter to him, however.
In his defense, Wilkerson did a better job last season, but was limited by a nagging cartilage knee injury. He's healthy now and he's back for one final go-around. Like Kukahiko, Wilkerson has the offense down, but must emerge a leader in the six wide receiver rotation Crowton likes to employ.
Hale, a 5-9, 175 pound junior, returned from his LDS mission prior to last season and was immediately dubbed the No. 1 preseason favorite wide receiver target of the quarterbacks from off-season conditioning workouts.
Though he was the most consistent of the returning receivers last season, Hale did not live up to or play to his billing. The combination of his inability to consistently and quickly separate himself from defenders and the BYU quarterbacks' ineffectiveness in getting him the ball when he was open said it all.
Amid all the hype and preseason posturing about the incoming talent, Kukahiko, Wilkerson and Hale should not be overlooked. They are mainstays who are determined to re-establish themselves in fall camp against the stiffest competition they've faced yet.
Some will become instant stars and contribute right away. Some are very talented wildcards that will require seasoning before they contribute in a big way. What is certain is that several JC newcomers will surprise some unsuspecting opponents and help re-establish BYU as a perennial NCAA offensive juggernaut again in the next two years.
One name already reigns supreme in a crowded field of wannabe star receivers: TODD WATKINS. Watkins has been informally and unofficially coronated king of the heap before he even takes his first game snap for the Cougars. He is the real deal and an absolute steal for Crowton on national signing day.
At 6-3, 185 pounds with 4.29/40 speed, Watkins has the size, speed and game-breaking receiver athleticism rarely – if ever – seen before in BYU blue.
A first-team JC All-American from Grossmont College, Watkins gambled on BYU with the promise that he would be a significant part of the offense if he proved himself. He eliminated all doubt in spring practice, the Blue & White spring scrimmage and in off-season workouts with his stunning play and exceptional work ethic.
Another mid-year transfer who has also impressed coaches and teammates is Michael Morris, a 6-1, 182 pound JC receiver from Itawamba Community College (Miss.). He is smaller than Watkins, but has already shown some of the same game-breaking abilities. Though he is not in the same constellation as Watkins, Morris will likely be a future star in Crowton and Bradford's six-player starting rotation.
The Cougar fan curiosity meter on incoming JC transfer Joe Griffin, the second-half of Grossmont's record-breaking receiver tandem with Watkins' last year, is all over the scale.
At 6-3 and 215 pounds, Griffin does not have Watkins' blazing speed, but his game performances were as impressive as Watkins last season. He was also named Grossmont's offensive player of the year. Griffin reportedly has great leaping ability and is a sure-handed receiver who will provide a substantial boost to the Cougars wide receiver depth.
Although he was also a mid-year transfer, JC wide receiver Riley Weber, a 6-1, 190 pounder from Glendale Community College (Ariz.), is expected to redshirt.
After watching Austin Collie run routes in off-season workouts, there seems little doubt he will be a significant contributor this fall as a true freshman.
Collie, at 6-1, 185 pounds, is considered the best LDS wide receiver prospect in the country over the last 10 years. Little wonder he was also named the Northern California MVP of the Year last season in ANY position. That speaks volumes when you consider the exceptional talent recruited nationally at all positions from this talent-rich area.
He is as smooth and as polished a receiver as one could imagine in a just-graduated high school athlete. Not only does Collie possess great skills running routes, but is an exceptional athlete with above-average speed.
Other true freshmen drawing early rave reviews are Texans Antwaun Harris and Michael Reed.
Harris played varsity prep football last year for the first time as a senior after changing sports as a star basketball point guard. In just one season as a game-breaking star wide receiver, Harris showed incredible athleticism and acrobatic receiving skills. Harris and Collie may emerge this fall as the class of this year's freshman recruiting class.
Harris' hype is impressive when you consider that fellow Texan Michael Reed was named to Texas' All-State 5A team, where you generally find the best-of-the-best in this recruiting goldmine of a state. He was another steal for BYU on national signing day.
At 6-2, 190 pounds, there has been even been talk of switching Reed to tight end – a la Daniel Coats – where he is projected as a future star.
Other returning receivers who add great depth to BYU's wide receiver rotation will be Matt Allen, who impressed coaches with his scout team play last year after he returned from an LDS mission. Allen, at 6-0, 180 pounds, may earn a spot in the six-player rotation this fall.
Cody Fonnesbeck, a 5-8, 155 pound sophomore, is the fastest player on the team and one of the stars on BYU's track team. He missed last season because of a season-ending injury in preseason fall camp. Though his height is a factor, Fonnesbeck is back and anxious to prove himself again.
David Gooch, the brother of current Cougar defensive back Quinn Gooch, played impressively in spring practice performed well in the Blue & White scrimmage. At 6-3, 210 pounds, he has good size and runs great routes.
Last but certainly not least are two walk-on receivers who may defy the odds and become future wide receiver standouts – freshman Zac Collie (6-0, 185 pounds), Austin's older brother, and sophomore Matthew Smith (6-2, 185 pounds).

FirstRand produces good growth in earnings
FirstRand produces good growth in earnings driven by organic growth, innovation and collaboration across all its businesses
FirstRand Limited (FirstRand), the integrated financial services group, today announced results for the year to 30th June 2004.
FirstRand also announced that it has reduced its dividend cover from 2.85 to 2.5 times which the group believes is a sustainable level as it is generating more capital than it needs for the business. In addition, the dividend policy will be based on sustainable earnings growth as the group's headline earnings include AC133 volatility and translation gains and the group wishes to protect its shareholders from this level of volatility going forward. The total dividend for the year increased by 31% from 35 cents to 46 cents.
Commenting on the results, Laurie Dippenaar, FirstRand CEO, said;
"I think these results clearly show how well positioned the group is against the favourable background of low interest rates, increased consumer confidence and a sound economy," said Dippenaar.
"The environment was particularly positive for banking, and the FirstRand Banking Group generated strong organic growth evidenced by the higher new business volumes across all the businesses. In addition, the group's focus on innovation and increasing collaboration between the business units allowed FirstRand Limited to deliver a superior performance."
FirstRand Banking Group
FNB Retail had a good year with strong growth in non-interest income, deposits and advances, more than compensating for the margin squeeze resulting from low interest rates.
FNB HomeLoans increased new business production by 67% although the run-off in the acquired NBS and Saambou books meant that total advances grew at a slower rate of 11.3%.
WesBank had an outstanding year, achieving a 52% increase in profit to R1.05 billion.
Driven by a very buoyant motor vehicle market, new business grew by 26% with growth in assets up 22%.
Insurance profits as a proportion of the retail bank's profits increased 48%. OUTsurance performed very well and the banking group's share of OUTsurance's headline earnings increased by 89.4% to R161 million.
FNB Corporate produced a billion Rand of profits for the first time, resulting from good advances growth in the medium corporate sector, client acquisition and higher transactional volume flows.
RMB produced exceptional results, growing net income before tax by 30%. All the businesses performed well, in particular Corporate Finance, Private Equity and Special Projects International.
Momentum Group
Momentum delivered a satisfactory performance in market conditions that remained tough, showing growth in headline earnings of 14%. The results benefited from good new business growth in risk products and linked products and improved performance from asset management operations.
Discovery Group
Discovery produced an excellent performance reflecting a combination of strong organic growth and increased efficiencies. This translated into a 102% increase in operating profits with headline earnings attributable to FirstRand increasing by 49%.
Looking forward Dippenaar said that he expected the economy to be sound and that interest rates would remain relatively stable.
"FirstRand is confident that the underlying strengths of its businesses and its focus on innovation and operating efficiencies will continue to deliver strong organic growth. This combined with a favourable operating environment, further opportunities through collaboration and the development of new markets, both in Africa and internationally, positions the group very well in the year ahead".

I just finished Bioshock 2 and got the Good Ending. I won't spoil it for you guys here, but I felt a bit ripped off when I saw it. I decided to check out Wikipedia to get a better understanding... this one flew right by me. I didn't find what I was looking for, but I did find out that there are 3 other endings in addition to this one!
I checked out YouTube to see if it might help, and it did. I watched it again and read the comments, and that helped a lot in making sense of what I just saw.
I feel like such a moron though. Usually, I tend to see endings to movies and games pretty deeply, but this one completely flew by me. I actually feel ashamed right now that I didn't see how awesome the ending was by myself and it wasn't until I watched it a second time and read the comments. A lot of people on the comments said that they actually cried and thought it was one of the best endings to a game that they have seen.
Yeah, I have to admit that this isn't your typical Hollywood movie/videogame ending. I guess I was expecting a more blunt, concrete, and obvious one, but I got an ending where paying attention to details is key.
Otherwise, the game is great. Loved everything about it! It felt like visiting an old friend. All I need to do now is to get through the multiplayer and go thru hard mode, and that should be it!

I like to think I am pretty honest with you. Not in a take a photo of my stretchmarks and post it to Instagram kind of a way. I'd have to be paid a lot to do that. (I do have a price for this kind of thing… don't we all? Oh, okay, just me). Anyway, I digress. I am honest with you in that I don't pretend making macarons is easy. I don't try and profess that making homemade soup brings you closer to God (whichever one you worship… even the God that is blue cheese). I'm also not going to pretend these meatballs are speedy.

Venison is lower in fat than chicken, high in protein and always free range. Of all the game meats, it has the most delicate flavour and pairs wonderfully with this punchy stroganoff. Don't be tempted to over cook haunch steaks, a flash fry is all they need. READ MORE
Pressure cookers eh? What do you make of them? Up until this summer I'd always been slightly scared of them; the hissing sound, the old scare stories of exploding pans from the 60's, the locking of the pan… They were not for me.
Then in July I got the chance to use one. Except it wasn't any old pressure cooker, it was one that plugs in, rather than sits on your stove top, and is was all whizzy and had different buttons for different foods. I set to work to have a play and this beef rogan josh was just one of the recipes that sprung out of the Pressure King Pro by the end of the day. READ MORE
Now I know this sounds like a lot of ingredients and possibly therefore hard work, but I promise you it's not. It's the dish that really gives back. It's pretty quick to prepare, you make the filling the day before you want it and then on the night just assemble and bake. Everyone loves it and it's grown up enough for having friends over for dinner and yet homely enough for a regular Tuesday night supper. I serve with green beans usually plus a little mashed potato if I'm feeling especially in need of comfort.
If you're the type of person who wraps all their presents for Christmas by September and laughs in the face of panic buying then you might even make the filling ahead and stash it in the freezer ready for a rainy or even a snowy day. Just imagine having this as a standby supper… And if slow cooker standbys are your thing then have a look here. Loads of ideas.

My slow cooker beef bourguignon pie
Serves 6 – 8
Mix the flour, salt and pepper together in a bowl and then toss the beef in it, making sure each piece is well covered. Heat the oil in a large frying pan on a medium heat and add the beef cubes about 8 – 10 at a time, turning the pieces in order to brown them. Don't overcrowd the pan! If you do the pieces won't brown. Once each few pieces are brown transfer to a dish. Repeat until all the meat is brown.
Fry the smoked bacon, onion and garlic in the remaining oil then add the browned beef. When the onion has softened and the bacon cooked through add the Burgundy, beef stock, bay leaves and thyme and bring to the boil. Once bubbling away, scrape the bottom of the pan to make sure all the meat juices are incorporated into the sauce and then transfer to your slow cooker. Add the shallots and mushrooms and leave on 'low' for 3.5 hours. (If you don't have a slow cooker you can use the oven at 140C/gas mark 1 for 2 hours, though ensure your casserole dish has a well fitted lid.)
Once the beef is well cooked and easy to break apart with a fork, remove the bourguignon from the heat and allow to cool (if your sauce is very thin then you can strain the meat and vegetables over a colander, retaining the sauce into a saucepan, then reduce over a high heat stirring constantly). When completely cool (I leave mine overnight in the fridge) you can assemble and bake your pie. Please don't try and assemble when the filling is hot as the pastry will melt with the heat resulting in a very unsatisfactory looking pie.
Preheat your oven to 220C/gas mark 7 and place the cold pie filling in a large pie dish. I prefer enamel pie dishes as they conduct heat best. Then roll the pastry out onto a floured work surface using a lightly floured rolling pin. You need to roll it to about the thickness of a pound coin, just about 3cm larger than the pie dish. Trim the edges of the pastry you have rolled to remove some strips about 2cm wide. Egg wash the rim of the pie dish, then fix the strips to the dish, pressing down firmly. Egg wash the now pastry lined dish rim again, then place the rolled out pastry lid over the top, being careful not to stretch the pastry too much (or it will shrink when baking). Press down gently around the edges and use scissors to cut the edge of the pastry to about 1/2 cm larger than the rim of the pie dish.
You can then 'knock up' the edges of the pastry as per the photo above, or you can use a fork to press the pastry together leaving a pleasing pattern on the edge. Make a hole in the centre of the pie, in a cross shape, about 4cm across, using sharp knife (you can use a pie funnel if you like but this isn't necessary – if you do use one insert before adding the pastry lid.) Egg wash the whole pie with a pastry brush and then bake for 40 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.

Do you have a best friend? I hate the very label.
I went to a school where every girl had to have a best friend. The class was divided into neat little pairs. Every so often someone would decide they wanted to break best friends and have a new best friend, which would of course mean everyone had to break best friends. It was barbaric. One girl in particular was responsible for a lot of the rumours spread that resulted in the inevitable breaking of friends, tears, sleepless nights and snotty tissues. She was expelled in the end. Although at my school it was called being 'asked to leave.' Private schools love a euphemism.
Recently I noticed a friend of a friend on Facebook post a photo of herself and the mutual pal together with the label 'I love my best friend!' or something similarly twee. It made my blood boil. So territorial, so exclusive to every other friend either woman may have. It's as rude as not replying to a party invite. Don't even get me started on that.
The only kind of best friends chat I tolerate in this house is between brothers. Ie/ my sons. I tell them all the time to look after each other, that they're so lucky to always be best friends etc etc until I feel my voice grow hoarse. Years ago, when my eldest were still in utero, I read that if you tell a child something enough it becomes their reality. So I carry on with my indoctrination of sibling best friendery. It's working so far. Who knows how long it may last.
These samosas were made by my little boy Max who is almost 3. He did a mighty fine job, brushed the filo, folding the triangles. They're delicious warm with a stir fry as a 'fusion supper' (husband's words not mine) or cold in lunch boxes. Beware they're moreish.

Pork, beef and apple samosas
Makes 12
Make the filling by frying the onion and garlic in the oil until soft on a medium heat in a frying pan. Add the pork and beef and turn the heat up. Fry until browned then turn the heat down and add the crumbled stock cube. Chuck in the mushroom, pepper, carrots, apple, cranberry sauce and black pepper and fry until everything is soft and the carrots and apples are starting to stick to the pan. You basically want a really dry mixture. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 200C/gas mark 6 and line two baking trays with non stick paper. Take a square of filo and brush with melted butter then fold in half into a long rectangle. Brush with butter again and place some filling into one corner then fold that end over to make a triangle. Keep folding, using butter as an adhesive until you reach the end of the samsosa and then paint the edges shut using the butter to fold the filo over. This video is very useful if my instructions are lacking.
Repeat for all 12 samosas making sure to pack them tightly then bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown and very hot. Be careful if small people are eating them warm as the filling really retains it's heat.
I don't think I'm a natural canapé maker. They always seem like a good idea, and then, a bit like making your own Christmas cards, after 5 or so, boredom sets in and I'm wishing I'd let the shops do the hard work for me.
Not so with these little beauties. They're easy peasy, can be made in advance (hurrah for no last minute stress) and even tick the manly box. Because even in miniature form, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding is a fully respectable canapé for even the most manly man. The full recipe, courtesy of Sainsbury's is here. But if you prefer to watch it rather than read it you can see me and the lovely Nicola making them together.

Charlie has many women in his life. One of them turned two recently. When asked what birthday she was celebrating she told everyone 'six.' Clearly this habit of adding 4 years to her age won't last forever but I like that she knows her spiritual age.
Charlie's spiritual age is currently eight. He loves the number eight – it's taken over top spot from number two. He used to have two stories before bedtime every night. Now when you ask him how many stories he'd like he always replies 'eight'. He finishes any counting game with the number eight too. He also requests eight treats after dinner each evening. Life is unfortunately full of disappointment for Charlie.
This pie was inspired by Charlie's love of the aforementioned number. It has eight key ingredients. It is a man-pie (is there any other sort?) and serving it more than makes up for stealing your man's beer to make it with.
Feeds 4 – 6. Also inspired by a pie on my lovely friend Hannah's blog.
This is just so quick and easy to make. No stock, just crack open a can of Boddingtons. This does mean the pie is extra boozy in taste which is a bonus in my book. Worth getting hold of skirt – it is delicious and traditionally used for Cornish pasties, meaning once it's encased and allowed to steam away it stews to the point of tender pretty quickly.
Preheat the oven to Gas 5 and make sure you have a pie dish that's about 20cm in diameter. I use a ceramic one but metal will do too. Heat the sunflower oil in a frying pan then add the onions. Fry for 5 minutes until the smell fills the kitchen, then add the beef. The aim is to fry until the edges of the beef have browned so whack the heat up to achieve this if your beef is looking pasty.
Next add the carrots, mushrooms,thyme, salt and pepper. Give the mixture a good stir with a wooden spoon and turn the heat down slightly before adding the flour. Give it all another good stir to make sure everything is evenly covered in flour. Then add the Boddingtons. Keep stirring as the mixture thickens and then simmer for about 5 more minutes.
Once the 'gravy' has thickened transfer the lot into your pie dish and then lay the thinly sliced potatoes on the top, covering the pie filling until you can see it no longer. Then cover your pie with pastry. If using short or puff make sure you secure the edges to the pie dish by lining the rim with pastry offcuts using water, then securing the pastry lid to the offcuts with egg. Crimp the edges and leave a little overhang (cut off once cooked for perfect edges) then brush the lot with egg to get that wonderful creosotey glazed effect. Bake for 35 mins in the oven and serve with green things to offset all that beef and ale and pastry.
Today my mother and father (AKA Nan-kneeee and Baa Baa) kindly looked after Charlie whilst I had the pleasure of visiting the Coventry branch of Ikea. (Less said the better, though I do have a wonderful storage solution for all the stuff we need for the imminent Baby Bell #2.)
When I returned we asked Charlie whether he'd like a little brother or a little sister. With no hesitation he replied 'baby bus.' I like to think I'd do most things for my precious first born but I draw the line at birthing a bus.
Onto the recipe! My friend Sophie served this bolognese with pasta twirls to her twins and Charlie when they played together last week. Charlie lapped it up. I knew there had to be some wonderful magic ingredient. When quizzed Sophie revealed the secret was very simple – grated carrot. Now Charlie loves carrots any which way he can get them, so added grated carrot was bound to be a hit.
I took my normal bolognese recipe and used baby stock cubes from Boots to cut out some salt, then added finely diced bacon at the onion frying stage to increase the flavour and re-add a bit of saltiness. Then, just before letting the bolognese simmer and develop for 1 hour added three grated carrots. (I didn't peel them, just a quick scrub.) Once ready I open froze tablespoons of the mixture onto greaseproof paper, then transferred to freezer bags when rock solid. Charlie likes his 'bolognese' served with frozen peas and pasta but frankly this would be pretty good with most accompaniments.
Sophie warned me this toddler adaptation is very sweet. I clearly have immature tastebuds as Mr B and I enjoyed it very much on top of large field mushrooms with a sprinkling of grated cheese grilled on the top. Mmmm…
Today I cut Charlie's hair. Previously he'd been having it cut by a friend of my mothers. This hairdresser is one of those who visit you at home, so rather than have someone staring up your nose as they lather your hair, they have a rather fine view of your bent over backside.
Charlie doesn't like my mother's hairdressing friend. In fact he went as far as to injure himself on one occasion, drawing blood on my mother's watch, in order to escape her snippy clutches. This is sad as she cut my late grandmother's hair, my mothers and now Charlies. But the tradition can't continue. Charlie is so distressed by her presence it seems unfair on her more than him. No-one wants to be treated like the child catcher.
I was ready for a fight so I had all my weapons lined up. Cbeebies was the first one to be released. I had yoghurt covered raisins, banana chips and orange squash all lined up as placation tools. If it got serious there was always Daddy who was upstairs photographing things for eBay. As always, Charlie surprised me by not giving a damn. I snipped away and he hummed nursery rhymes with baby blue eyes glued to the box. His hair looks okay-ish. Not bad enough to make anyone feel sorry for him anyway. I feel a huge sense of achievement as I sit on the sofa this evening.
A recipe tonight for steak in disguise. I think this treatment of beef suits those who aren't exactly keen on huge hunks of thick bloody steak but do like a bit of the iron rich stuff now and again. I've used a version of chimichurri sauce but rather than using it post cooking, have used it as a marinade. So you end up with a kind of grassy looking steak.
Whizz everything together in a food processor except for the beef. Cover the minute steak in the marinade and refrigerate for 4 hours minimum or overnight if poss. Remove from the fridge about an hour before you want to cook the beef. Then either pop on the barbecue for about 1 minute either side (or longer if you're preggers like me – see pic) or under the grill for the same amount of time. Serve with rice or cous cous or if you need more green in your life, a green salad.

Date of Stay: December, 2015
This state park has full hookups and large sites. As a previous post stated the more private sites are on the outside of the loop, but none of the sites are truly private. They do mow a large section around each site, which is great as some parks barely mow around the picnic area. Would love to see a little under growth between the sites for privacy. Beware the water pressure is low and it fluctuates at times to very low. The way the sewer pipe is done makes it hard to completely drain your sewer hose. The park host mentioned that they are in the process of going through the RV sites and trimming up the trees, which is needed as I was not able to pull through the pull thru site because of low hanging limbs. Note that after heavy rain some of the sites have large puddles of standing water. As others have mentioned the bridge into the park is being rebuilt so there is a little detour. Nice hiking trails, but most of them were closed because of being flooded. Great birding area, but the mesquitos were so bad that I could not stay at the wildlife viewing for being eaten alive. There is shopping and restaurants nearby in Sealy and Katy. We camped here in a travel trailer. Would definitely stay here again when in the area. If the sites had more privacy and there was good water pressure I would give this park a 9.
Date of Stay: September, 2015
We stayed in the Live Oak campground because of the easy access to the Frio River. I did not use the restrooms, but friends did and they stated the restrooms were always in need of attention. Several of the trails down to the river were littered with trash. Site 358 was very unlevel. In addition, the trees along some of the roads need to be trimmed so the branches do not scrap the sides of your trailer. It's as though this State Park is so loved and used that it is taking a toll on the park and the state is behind on maintaining the park. This is a great park for hiking, kayaking, swimming, and birding.
Date of Stay: August, 2015
We camped at PA CO CHU PUK G Loop for 10 days. The $26.00 per night fee does not include the $10.00 transaction fee that reserve america charges or the daily entrance fee. We had purchased a Colorado State Park Pass for $70. This campground has full hookups which we enjoyed considering the length of our stay. The hookups are towards the back of the back-in sites so if your sewer is located midway on your trailer instead of the back you will probably need extra hoses (I had to connect 3 hoses). I would have rated the park higher if more of the grass around our site had been mowed. I understand leaving things natural, but I was in knee high weeds to access the hookups. I feel a foot or two on the side of the pad near the hookups is not too much to ask, all sites were like this. On the sites that were pull through it looked as though some of the bushes/under brush needed to be trimmed back as it might have been touching peoples slide outs. AT&T cell coverage was spotty and my Verizon PC card coverage was weak. Coverage seemed to be better during the day. Water pressure was good. The attendants at the gate were great and helpful with information as where to go. We used this park as a base camp. The fly fishing on the river was good too. Next time I would make the length of the stay 14 days as 10 days is not enough time to do everything in the area. There is an onsite Laundry Room, which was very clean and very reasonable considering the location. We would definitely camp here again.
Date of Stay: August, 2015
Great for an overnight stop. The sites are pull through, long and spacious. There are some permanent campers, but they all seem to be in there own area and were neat. Felt safe staying there and would stay again. Access to and from the park is easy.
Date of Stay: August, 2015
I cannot remember if the rate is excluding tax, but felt like the rate had increase since our last stay. I did notice that it seemed as though the park had made some improvements to a some of the sites compared to our previous stay at the park. The park is a good ways out from Santa Fe, but there are nearby restaurants.
Date of Stay: August, 2015
We use this park as an overnight stay when traveling from Texas to Colorado. I gave the park a 10 rating this time because of the excellent service that I received that was above and beyond the normal service. The rubber gasket that is between the roof and side of camper came loose and was over the slide out topper; therefore, I was not sure I would be able to extend the slide out. The owner brought out a ladder and climb up and put the gasket back in it track in a 104 degrees in the heat of the day. The park hosts were very helpful and friendly as well. In this campground it is worth paying the extra for a premium site.
Date of Stay: August, 2015
A great little park to stop for a few days. The rate does not include the entrance fee. The restaurant at the golf course is a nice convenience as there are not many choices in the town of Walsenburg.
Date of Stay: August, 2015
This is a bare bones park and probably the roughest looking KOA I have stayed in, but it worked for an overnight stop. You kind of expect the KOA to be a parking lot with sites squeezed together. However, at this particular KOA if we had not been led to our site I would not have know which site was which. It was hard to tell where the site began and where it ended. I guess what I am trying to say is it looks as though this park could use a face lift. The staff was friendly and very helpful they truly made the difference.
Date of Stay: August, 2015
This was our second time staying at Pleasant Valley RV Park in Howard. We had a waterfront site and yes your neighbors our close, but you have a concrete pad for picnic table and green grass. The site we had was beautiful as there was a view of the river and the mountains from our site. Did not hook up the satellite, because of the trees it may be hard in some of the sites to get reception. The laundry room is always clean and very reasonable. The staff is awesome, and you are led to your site and assisted with backing in to the site. There are a lot of repeat campers here and some have left their units there, but they are like a family and will invite you to their potluck. My favorite place when I need to veg and relax.
Date of Stay: September, 2014
Stayed in the Pinon Campground at Lathrop SP in back in site in Loop A. Luckily my site had water as I misunderstood and thought sites shared water hence one faucet per two sites. After walking around I realized water is scattered through the campground and not every site has water. First time staying in a Colorado State Park. Be sure to check before setting up. The park has two lakes and a 3 mile paved walking trail around one of the lakes. There is a golf course next door that has a restaurant at the club house nothing fancy, but could be convenient. In the town of Walsenberg there is a grocery store called Fresh Cuts for stocking up. There is a grocery store that is closer to the park, but one of the staff at the park told us that Fresh Cuts had fresher items. The views of the mountains are very nice. Trees are mostly piñon and cedar so no trouble getting satellite reception. Hiking, birding, fishing, and biking are all activities that are available here. Plus there are day trips you can do from here. I would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2014
I use this campground as an overnight stop. My number one complaint is the location of the hookups. I usually have to pull all the way up in the site, which means I have to unhook from the truck or the truck would be out in the road. I noticed this time that there is a gun range in the area as someone was target practicing one evening.
Date of Stay: September, 2014
Stayed in a pull-through site. The space was so close to the next site our slides almost touched. Plus I could hear the neighbor's A/C running. On the way back from Colorado decided to upgrade to premium site (cost $34.95). Premium site is worth the extra money. Mainly use this campground as an overnight stop.
Date of Stay: September, 2014
I would have given this campground a 10 except the water and electric hookup for our site #7 was on the wrong side. However, I loved the site as it had more space compared to other sites and it was a waterfront site. Staff friendly and helpful. As others have mentioned there are many seasonal campers and locals who leave their campers. Wi-Fi was great! My Verizon PC Card did not work there except for one night. AT&T cell coverage good. We were able to get Satellite TV at the site. The only downside is location, as it's a 20 to 25 minute drive to Salida. Compared to other campgrounds in the area it's the best we found. We would camp here again.
Date of Stay: December, 2013
Some sites are close together and some sites have some space. Limited over the air TV stations, satellite reception good, but for some sites reception could be an issue. AT&T cell coverage great and Verizon PC Card received good signal. As previously mentioned there are street lights that create a lot of light pollution and even shine in your camper at night. Interior roads are paved, but narrow at times. Nice hiking trials in the park and great bird watching. Electric and water pressure were good. No road noise here like you have over at the State Park. However, during this time of year it's duck hunting season so there was a lot of noise from the guns. Didn't realize it until I was wakened by the gunfire the first morning. Kind of got use to it. It's closer to go to Jasper for shopping and restaurants. Big Thicket Preserve is nearby: lots to do in the area.
Date of Stay: November, 2013
Nice quiet campground with very nice park host and rangers. Fee includes park pass. No TV unless you have satellite. Only negative is not much privacy between sites. Had site 6 which was nice but sunny and out in middle. Next time would pick a site on the other side of the loop. This time there was a Casita group that had filled the campground. Great place to see wildlife.

Greg Parmley has broken the Guinness World Record for the most music festivals visited in 30 days, the publication has confirmed.
Parmley, who's epic trip can be watched in his video diary above, managed to squeeze in a mammoth 26 events into his journey, which took him across much of Europe.
As previously reported, the journalist travelled between the UK's Glastonbury and High Voltage festivals via the likes of Rock Werchter, Rheinkultur, Paleo Festival Nyon and some 21 other European festivals.
The epic trip, which took in around 5,500 miles of road, happened in July but has only just been confirmed as a record-breaking achievement.
Speaking about his achievement, Greg told Virtual Festivals: "It's great to be official, although this definitely won't become an annual race – if anyone wants to try and beat it next year, good luck to them!
"For me, the trip was about experiencing some of the best festivals in Europe, so being in the book next the world's hairiest women, or the most expensive fungus, is just a bonus! Now I just have to think about how to top it next year."
The festivals Greg visited were as follows:
Hard Rock Calling
Graspop Metal Meeting
Rock a Field
Rock Werchter
With Full Force
Rock for People
Balaton Sound
Garden Festival
Umbria Jazz
Moon and Stars
Montreux Jazz
Live at Sunset
Paleo Festival Nyon
Secret Garden Party
I'll Be Your Mirror
High Voltage Festival
