* Croatian food group's debt plummets
* Bond investors scrutinise accounting policies
By Robert Smith
LONDON, Feb 10 (IFR) - A ballooning payment-in-kind loan is threatening to tip over Croatian retailer Agrokor, as bond investors pore over the byzantine accounts of the country's largest private company.
The value of the PIK has plummeted as low as 25 cents as confidence in the company's ability to repay the instrument has evaporated.
One banker described the PIK as "a time-bomb".
The debt is held at the holding company level but nervousness around it is feeding through to Agrokor's senior bonds, with a €325m 9.125% 2020 note collapsing to an all-time low cash price bid of 75 on Wednesday.
Although primarily a food company, producing everything from sausages to ice cream, Agrokor also has interests in a vast array of businesses in construction, commodity trading, and travel and tourism.
Its debt woes stem from a recent acquisition of Slovenian retailer Mercator, which was funded with a €485m deeply subordinated PIK toggle loan in 2014.
PIK toggle notes allow companies to make interest payments with additional debt if they are short of cash, meaning the size of the debt can balloon if not tackled quickly.
The banker said Agrokor had "burnt a lot of bridges with banks" due to its indecisiveness in getting to grips with its capital structure.
"This has been taken round the park so many times," he said. "They've hesitated and hesitated on what they want to do. In the end it feels like they've missed the boat a couple of times and now they're starting to pay the price."
A second banker said the company's big missed opportunity came in early 2015, when it tried to pull off a refinancing not only of its nearly €1bn-equivalent of senior bonds, but also some holding company debt and loans at Mercator as well.
The deal never made it off the ground, however, and Agrokor announced in May 2015 that it had decided "not to pursue such a refinancing at this stage".
"What they should have done is refinanced one bond, pay up a little on a €300m deal, but get a foothold out there to chip away at their maturities over time," the second banker said.
"Instead they were advised they could do this big €3bn deal of basically all their debt in one fell swoop. A deal of that scale was never feasible for a sub-investment grade Eastern European corporate."
The collapse in Agrokor's bonds means they now yield more than 20% across the capital structure - a potentially eye-catching return for junk bond investors given the company has substantial assets and a long-standing business model.
But several investors told IFR they were hesitant to get involved due to reservations around Agrokor's accounting policies, particularly the way it accounts for financial assets and investments at subsidiaries in its cashflow statement.
One investor pointed to an example from Agrokor's most recent annual report, covering the full year 2015, where the company disclosed that it had written up the value of intangible assets at a subsidiary in Bosnia and Herzegovina. He said that while most companies typically record a write-up under profit and loss, Agrokor booked it through its cashflow statement.
"It's perfectly legal to do this, but it's misleading," the investor said. "It means cashflow looks better, but actually it's not real cash - their cash position doesn't move. I think a lot of people have missed what they're actually doing from a cashflow perspective."
For bond investors, cashflow is a more important metric for servicing debt than profitability.
Agrokor did not respond to a request for comment on its accounting policies, nor on its financing plans.
Agrokor began as a flower-growing operation in a single greenhouse in Yugoslavia in the 1970s. It flourished after the fall of Communism, absorbing other businesses before registering as the Agrokor Group in 1995 - the year Croatia's war of independence ended.
When it acquired Mercator in 2014 the Slovenian company was in financial distress and had to cut a restructuring deal of its €1.1bn debt pile to facilitate the sale.
Covenants on Agrokor's bonds meant it had to class the newly acquired business as an unrestricted subsidiary, so this debt would sit outside the so-called "restricted group" of its bonds. The €485m PIK note was also raised outside the restricted group, meaning it should not impact senior bondholders.
But at the end of 2016, Agrokor raised new loans that require the company to refinance the PIK 90 days prior to its mid-2018 maturity, suddenly creating a new potential credit-linkage between the PIK and the senior bonds.
Agrokor has three senior bonds outstanding - a €300m bond due in 2019, and two notes that mature in 2020, one for €325m and the other US$300m.
Moody's described the clause as "tantamount to a cross acceleration provision" in January, leading it to include the PIK in its debt calculation for the first time and cut Agrokor's rating one notch to B3.
Research firm Covenant Review said in a recent report that more than €20m of debt being accelerated at Agrokor or its restricted subsidiaries would result in an event of default under its bonds.
"It's an over-convoluted structure," said the first banker.
"I really hope this doesn't become a case study of poor financial management." (Reporting by Robert Smith, editing by Sudip Roy and Julian Baker)

Psychological Health: Q&A with mental health expert Christine Gidycz
In a recent survey by the American College Health Association, 1.6 million college students sought counseling in the past year. According to Christine Gidycz, director of the graduate program in clinical psychology, the number of students at Ohio University seeking mental health services is on the rise.
Here, Gidycz discusses mental health issues on the Ohio University campus, local resources and positive coping mechanisms.
Why are college campuses seeing a rise in the number of students with mental health problems?
There are other factors that contribute to the rise in students seeking mental health services. For example, currently there are a number of effective medications for fairly commonly occurring conditions (e.g., Prozac to treat depression). This has allowed students who experience such conditions to function well enough that they can attend college. Since a combination of psychotherapy and medication can be a good course of treatment for students, mental health personnel on college campuses are increasingly likely to come into contact with individuals who without the medication may not have been well enough to attend college.
What are the most common mental health problems that affect Ohio University students?
- Counseling and Psychological Services located on the third floor of the Campus Care Clinic: 593-1616.
- The Psychology and Social Work Clinic located in the basement of Porter Hall: 593-0902.
What are some factors that affect a student's mental health?
What are some ways for students to deal with stress?
What should an Ohio University student do if they think their friend has a mental health problem?
If your friend is experiencing any thoughts of suicide, make sure that you talk to them about it and try to get them to seek services at the campus mental health agencies. In instances where you are concerned that your friend might act on suicidal thoughts, tell a person in authority (such as an RA) immediately.
If they do go to talk with someone, ask if they want you to walk them to their appointment or go with them. The most important thing to do is let your friend know that you care about them and want to help them or facilitate them getting help from a professional.
Are there any ways to prevent a mental health problem?

Baking: Info & Tips
Canola oil is light, clear and has a mild flavor that does not interfere with the taste of baked goods. It blends easily with other ingredients to produce a moist product with soft texture. In addition, by replacing other solid fats with canola oil, recipes are not only lower in trans and saturated fat, but in their total fat content as well. These are great reasons for cooking and baking with canola oil!
Mini Pumpkin and Date Nut Cakes with Maple Glaze: These bite-sized cakes explode with fall ingredients like cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup and pumpkin.
Mini Peppermint Cupcakes: Ring in the season with peppermint-topped, chocolate cupcakes.
Chiffon Celebration Cake:Recipe developed at The Culinary Institute of America by Chef Instructor Brenda La Noue.
Mini Pear Ginger Cheesecakes with Gingersnap Crust: These individual cheesecakes are a healthier twist on the classic dessert with dried pears, gingersnaps and canola oil.
Canola Oil Change Chart for Baking
Reduce trans and saturated fats in your baking by replacing the solid fat or melted solid fat to liquid canola oil. Not only will you reduce the total fat by up to 25 percent but also you will replace the solid fat with liquid canola oil, which is lower in saturated fats and contains no trans fat. Use this chart to help you convert your recipes.
Note: This conversion works well for most baked goods, in fact, it makes most baked goods moister with a softer texture. For baked goods like cookies that use solid fat as a leavener; this conversion will not work well.

Infant, mariner medevaced from King Cove
The infant was suffering respiratory distress and the mariner was injured after a crab pot fell on him.
ANCHORAGE – The U.S. Coast Guard medevaced an infant and a mariner from King Cove to Cold Bay Tuesday morning, authorities said.
The infant, who was suffering respiratory distress, was transported first along with his mother, said Petty Officer 3rd Class Grant DeVuyst.
A Coast Guard crew then returned to medevac the mariner, who sustained multiple fractures and dislocations after a 600- to 800-pound crab pot fell on him, pinning him for an hour, said Vincent Pernio, a physician assistant certified at the King Cove clinic.
The mariner was injured Monday evening aboard a fishing vessel near Sanak Island and King Cove was the nearest accessible port with a clinic, DeVuyst said.
It took more than six hours for him to be transported to the clinic, Pernio said. Because of rough weather conditions, the mariner's pain was treated at the clinic until transporting him via medevac was deemed safe.
The infant and the mariner were taken from Cold Bay to Anchorage by commercial services.
Advocates of a one-lane road from King Cove to Cold Bay say it will provide access to life-saving care for residents living in King Cove.
Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell rejected a proposed land swap with the state to build the road that would go through Izembek National Wildlife Refuge.

Jessica Alba's Dirty Little Secret To A Flawless Post-Baby Body
It's hard to believe that Jessica Alba has had two children from the seemingly constant state of perfection that her body is in.
However, the actress, who gave birth to her second daughter Haven in 2011, recently revealed to Net-A-Porter's weekly digital magazine that she had a lot of help reverting right back to her slim stomach.
"It was sweaty, but worth it," she said.
Pairing that with a personal trainer and a strict diet, Alba has never looked better.
Keeping herself fit is just another endeavor that Alba is currently fitting into her unbelievably busy schedule. In the past few years, Alba has published a book entitled The Honest Life and started The Honest Company, a business promoting eco-friendly baby products.
"I don't balance well. I just try to do the best I can," Alba said of all of her different projects.
Arguably, the most important project of all is Alba's role as a wife and mother. The actress also revealed how a recent vacation with her husband, Cash Warren, reignited her love for her family telling the publication, "It was our first trip in six years that wasn't for work. I didn't realize how important it was until we got home and I was like, 'We like each other; we really are best friends.'"
"I knew we were rooting for each other every day and we'd made these two people who are my favorite things on the planet, but having that time just us, it was cool to connect. We both chose the right person," she continued.

Alpine Meadows instructor dies in skiing accident
November 19, 2012
TAHOE CITY — Alpine Meadows Ski Resort is mourning the loss of one its own.
Annalise Kjolhede, 24, a ski instructor with the resort's Kids Ski School, died Tuesday evening, following a skiing accident at Alpine Nov. 10, a resort spokesperson said.
Kjolhede suffered serious head and neck injuries after falling and hitting a submerged rock near Wolverine Bowl while skiing with friends that day, the spokesperson said. She was wearing a helmet.
Despite the resort not being open for the season, Alpine Meadows ski patrol members, along with local fire crews,
were on site that day for preseason training when they received a 911 call reporting the accident. Ski patrol mobilized a Snowcat and was on the scene 25 minutes later, according to a press release.
Kjolhede, a New York native, was transported to the base of the mountain where she was airlifted by CareFlight to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno. She died there Tuesday due to her injuries.
"Though she was part of
our team but one season, Annalise was a valued member of Alpine Meadow's Kids Ski School," according to a resort statement.

"Her outgoing personality, passion for working with kids and friendly nature will be remembered and missed by all of her friends and colleagues here at Squaw and Alpine. Her passing is a tragic loss for our team and community."
At this time, there are no plans by the resort to hold a memorial service.

November 4, 2009
My husband and I are owned by 10 wonderful dogs (a wonderful byproduct of being involved in rescue for several years). We switched the 'kids' over to The Honest Kitchen about 2 months ago and are AMAZED! This is the first, and only diet that all 10 dogs (ages 1-16 years) have all thrived on. Our youngest, a 4lb Chihuahua eats her meals with gusto and we truly feel we are giving her a wonderful advantage in life by starting her off with a fabulous diet. In the past, we fed a vast array of dog foods (all premium but typically kibble) but were very hesitant to switch the eldest over to this new diet. Sophie had troubles with soft/loose stool but since switching her to The Honest Kitchen, she is THRIVING! Our Pekingese, Brandy is the worlds pickiest eater (this is a common Peke quality). It was normal for her to skip meals and show no interest in food. Since switching her to The Honest Kitchen, she RUNS for her breakfast and dinner. We just wanted to thank you for making such a wonderful product. Keep up the great work!!

Swimmers and track athletes keep adding to Canada's medal haul at the Paralympic Games.
Valerie Grand'Maison of Fleurimont, Que., and Calgary's Brianna Nelson each won their second silver medals of the Games at the pool, while wheelchair sprinter Brent Lakatos of Dorval, Que., also won silver in the 400 metres Sunday.
Eight of Canada's first 11 medals have come from swimmers and the remaining three from track and field.
Grand'Maison was an arm swing away from gold in her signature event, the 100-metre freestyle.
For the second time in as many days, she was narrowly beaten for the top step on the podium by Kelley Becherer of the U.S.
Grand'Maison had finished second to the American in the 50-freestyle the previous day.
"I'm going to be emotional for the next few hours," Grand'Maison said. "It was a close one. I race Kelly, the American, all the time. It's always a close finish. It's always be a few tenths or a few hundredths. She's a way better sprinter than I am, so her first half is really strong compared to mine.
"Tonight, I tried to stay with her because I wanted it so bad. I tried my best and I was with her at the 50. I knew it my time to shine. I just didn't have it in me."
Canada's objective in London is a top-eight finish in gold medals won. Canada had three gold after five days, tied for 13th with Iran and South Korea.
Grand'Maison, who is visually impaired, was Canada's most successful swimmer at the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing with three gold medals and a bronze. She set a world record in the 100 freestyle there, but a shoulder injury in 2011 almost ended her career.
"A year ago I would never thought I would have been to that level of fitness right now," the 23-year-old said. "The way we turned the program around. My strength and conditioning program, working with a sports psychologist, physio, I did everything I had to do and I have no pain right now. I love racing again."
Nelson, who has cerebral palsy, was second to Jaqueline Freney of Australia the women's 200 individual medley, two days after taking silver behind the Aussie in the 50-metre butterfly.
"This is my second Games. I wanted to be somebody here," said Nelson, 20. "In Beijing, I was there to have fun. I wanted to be ferocious this time. I'm feeling ferocious."
Grand'Maison races the 200 I.M. and 100-metre breaststroke later this week.
"It's not over," she declared. "I'm going to fight harder. In the last four years, I've gone through a lot of challenges and right now, it's just one more challenge that I have to overcome and it will make me stronger in four days when I race again, when I show up on that pool deck again, fierce, mean and ready to show what I've got, finally."
Lakatos wheeled to silver in the men's T54, or paraplegic, classification. The 32-year-old's time of 50.17 was second to the 49.70 posted by China's Li Huzhao.
Lakatos was paralysed in a hockey accident at the age of six. The Canadian lives and trains in Dallas, Texas and is married to Stephanie Reid, an amputee who won bronze in the 200 metres for Canada in 2008. She's representing host Britain at these Games and won silver in the long jump Sunday.
"It's great to have her to share it with," Lakatos said. "It's really special.
"The bet was whoever wins gold doesn't have to do the dishes."
Lakatos said he encouraged his wife, who has a Scottish father and an English mother, to join the British team for 2012.
"I was actually kind of pushing her in that direction," he said. "I thought it would be a good decision for her.
"The training environment, the coaching, the high performance centres, everything. It's a great place for her to be where she can receive the best training and get her in the best shape she can to have the best result."
In other swim finals Sunday, Sarah Mehain of Vernon, B.C., was fifth behind teammate Nelson in the individual medley. Vancouver's Donovan Tildesley placed seventh in the men's 100-breastroke in a visually impaired classification.
Winnipeg's Rhea Schmidt was eighth in Grand'Maison's event, the 100 freestyle. Calgary's Morgan Bird was also eighth in the women's 50-metre freestyle.
Also at the track, wheelchair racer Diane Roy of Sherbrooke, Que., was disappointed in her ninth-place finish in the women's 5,000 metres. She'd initially won gold in the distance in Beijing only to have to re-race it because of a protest. Roy was then second in the re-race. Teammate Keira-Lyn Frie of Saskatoon was fourth Sunday.
Bo Hedges of Wonowon, B.C., scored 24 points in a 73-66 win over Germany in men's wheelchair basketball. Unbeaten in four games, the Canadian men clinched first place in their pool.
The women's team improved to 2-1 with a 65-61 victory against Brazil. Vancouver's Janet McLachlan led the Canadians with 36 points and 23 rebounds. The Canadian women will play in the quarter-finals.
Canada won its first game in women's goalball, with Amy Kneebone of Charlottetown scoring twice in a 3-1 victory over Sweden. The men's team fell 8-6 to Algeria.
Robbi Weldon of Thunder Bay, Ont., and pilot Lyne Bessette of Knowlton, Ont., were seventh in track cycling in the individual pursuit for visually impaired
Joan Reid of Enderby, B.C., was sixth in single sculls for rowers who have only the use of their arms and shoulders. The mixed four crew with cox including Anthony Theriault of Nanaimo, B.C., Ottawa's David Blair, Toronto's Victoria Nolan, Winnipeg's Meghan Montgomery and cox coxswain Kristen Kit of St. Catharines, Ont., was seventh.
Eleonore Elstone of Langley, B.C., and Ottawa's Jody Schloss were seventh and 11th respectively in Para-dressage.Report Typo/Error

I Don't Buy It: Excel Body Gym
I Don't Buy It: Excel Body Gym
With a name like Gadget Universe, this site might not be the most reliable source for exercise equipment. I found this machine that is just over-the-top enough to share. Called the Multi-Core-Flex Excel Body Gym, it promises that for only $69.95 "you'll be able to get 6-pack abs while simultaneously getting a back massage."
I do believe it will give my back a general, all over kind of massage, but the claim that you can get six-pack abs from using it gives me serious pause. I'm not saying this crazy machine doesn't work your abs, but the text gives the impression that it's a quick fix — that all you need to do is "ride" this machine and voilà! Instant washboard belly.
This makes me think of Leg Magic, another stupid piece of exercise equipment. That along with Suzanne Somer's Thigh Master just makes me laugh and cringe at the same time. These machines just work to isolate certain muscle groups, but guess what? The toned muscles will just be hidden under a layer of flab.
If you're trying to lose or maintain your weight, using just these "gadgets" isn't enough. You need cardio in your routine to exercise your heart and to burn fat (so you can see your flat abs). You also need to do weight bearing exercises that challenge your muscles and stimulate them to grow.
So don't fall for this scam, ladies. There really is no easy way to work your entire body, other than to work your entire body, and unfortunately the Excel Body Gym just doesn't cut it.

Austrian men's alpine team staff departs for elsewhere
"I have decided for personal and private reasons to not renew the contract with the Austrian Ski Federation," announced Mathias Berthold after four years of working as head coach of the Austrian men's team. "The last years were marked by a very high workload. I want to thank all the coaches, leaders, athletes, and the Austrians for the very professional relationship."
Austrian Ski Federation director Hans Pum said, "Mathias has communicated to me in a personal conversation that he is no longer available as athletic director for the next season. I'm personally very sorry, because I appreciate him. He has done excellent work for the Austrian Ski Federation over the last four seasons, for which I am grateful. I wish him all the best."
During Berthold's tenure, the Austrian men won two Olympic gold medals, an Olympic silver medal, three times the overall World Cup by Marcel Hirscher and eight world championship medals. Berthold has been widely reported by numerous media sources as a serious candidate to return to the German team, where he previously worked for seven years. Besides Berthold, speed coach Burkhard Schaffer will also leave the Austrian Ski Federation to take over the men's coaching position in Canada vacated by a retiring John "Johno" McBride. Schaffer previously coached the Canadian men's speed team from 2001-2006.

A man beat his heavily pregnant ex-girlfriend to death and killed their unborn child in a "brutal and sustained" attack, a court has been told.
Fuelled by alcohol and cannabis, Tony McLernon arranged to meet Eystna Blunnie in a street in Harlow, Essex, in the early hours of June 27 last year, prosecutor Andrew Jackson told Chelmsford Crown Court.
The couple had recently broken up after an abusive relationship and he knew she was pregnant with his child.
Opening the trial, Mr Jackson added: "He repeatedly kicked and stamped on her in an act of brutal and sustained violence. He knew he was not only killing her but their unborn child as well."
After the killings, McLernon hid in nearby woodlands and sent a text message to his father saying: "I'm scared."
He later spoke to his father on the phone and told him: "I think I've killed Eystna," the court heard.
Ms Blunnie, 20, who was due to give birth within days, was found with severe head and facial in Howard Way, Harlow, just minutes from her home. She was taken to hospital but died. Residents living nearby reported hearing screaming and punching noises on the morning of the alleged attack.
The catering student, who also worked as a barmaid and waitress, met McLernon in 2010 and by April the following year they were in a relationship. By July they were engaged to be married and in October she discovered she was pregnant.
But Mr Jackson told jurors: "It was a relationship marked by controlling, bullying and violent behaviour on the part of this defendant towards Eystna. Within a month of the relationship beginning, family members saw Eystna with bruising to her arm and within that bruising they saw the outline of knuckles."
McLernon, 24, from North Grove, Harlow, denies murdering Ms Blunnie and a charge of child destruction by wilfully causing the death of an unborn child.

The World Club Challenge will be played in Australia next year but the crowded pre-season schedule and the involvement of so many players in the World Cup have left officials struggling to find room for the annual All Stars clash.
For the first time since Wigan beat the Broncos before a record crowd of 54,220 at Brisbane's QEII Stadium in 1994, this year's Super League champions will travel to Australia to play the winners of the NRL grand final. And the following season could have an expanded World Club Challenge in England, featuring the top three Super League clubs and three NRL teams.
Next year's WCC has been scheduled for a weekend in late February and will likely be played at the home ground of this year's NRL premiers. If the likes of the Rabbitohs, Roosters or Sea Eagles, who make up the top four with Melbourne, were to win the grand final, it would be the first time the WCC has been played in Sydney since Eastern Suburbs hosted St Helens in 1976.
Next pre-season is also set to feature a nines tournament in Auckland but the late return of players to pre-season training after the World Cup has cast doubts over the All Stars match.
More than 100 NRL players are expected to feature in the World Cup, which starts with Australia playing England at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on October 26 and concludes with the final at Old Trafford on November 30, and most would not be due to resume training until late January.
Players involved in the World Cup have been exempted from the nines tournament, staged over two days in early February. However, the All Stars match requires the game's biggest stars to be available and NRL officials are in talks with senior players such as Greg Inglis, Johnathan Thurston and Cameron Smith about the problem.
NRL commercial and marketing director Paul Kind said talks were ongoing about how to fit in the All Stars. ''We are in consultation with the elite players, the indigenous council and the broadcaster on how to best proceed,'' Kind said.
Meanwhile, momentum is gathering for an expanded World Club Challenge in 2015. A proposal for the top three Super League teams to play three NRL teams on consecutive nights in Britain has the backing of most Super League clubs.
Under the proposal, the top team from each competition would play off as per usual in the WCC but two other NRL teams would play the second- and third-placed Super League teams. The matches would provide an opportunity to determine which league was stronger.
''I think we have got to take the game to another level internationally and it would be a great boost for the English game, too,'' Rabbitohs chief executive Shane Richardson said.

Down-conversion of a high-frequency beat note to an intermediate frequency is realized by a Mach-Zehnder intensity modulator. Optically-carried microwave signals in the 10–60 GHz range are synthesized by using a two-frequency solid-state microchip laser as a voltage-controlled oscillator inside a digital phase-locked loop. We report an in-loop relative frequency stability better than 2.5 × 10−11. The principle is applicable to beat notes in the millimeter-wave range.

THE site of a former luxury health retreat in Cirencester has been branded an "eyesore" after being left empty for more than two and a half years.
The Le Spa health farm, located in Stratton, has been abandoned in a ring of steel fencing ever since the business was forced to go into liquidation in July 2011.
People have recently taken to social networking sites to air their grievances about the state of the building.
One user wrote: "It looks like an eyesore at the moment as it has been left to ruin."
While another wrote: "It is such a shame. The building looked lovely when it was actually looked after."
However change could be on the cards for Le Spa, as Cotswold District Council, this week, confirmed that the property is wind and weather proofed and is checked on a daily basis to ensure it is appropriately protected.
Le Spa closed down in the summer of 2011 after club representatives confirmed that membership had halved in its last two years of business and that its future was looking bleak.
Following its closure, a number of developers came forward with a view of turning the building into a care home with sixty bedrooms with an additional 23 homes on the surrounding land.
However, none of the plans ever came to fruition and it has since been left unoccupied and gathering dust.
Speaking about the future of the building, a spokesman for Cotswold District Council said: "We have received confirmation that the site is still in the hands of the receivers due to the Financial Services Authority's involvement with the relevant bank who still own the previous owner's debt and therefore the site.
"The receivers are, however, keen to move forward with the sale of the site as soon as they have the authority to do so."
As of yet there are no current planning applications to develop the Le Spa site.

L'OBJET Aegean Gold Dinner Plate Set
Exquisite set of porcelain plates inspired by ancient Greco- Roman design. Hand gilded with 24k gold.
These fine crafted bamboo spoons were dipped in a natural tree lacquer by a master artisan.
I like this stainless steel flatware set. Its a bit comical.
If the L'Objet Aegean Gold plates were too gaudy for you, here they are in simple white porcelain. I have to say, I think I prefer the subtlety of this ancient Greco-Roman inspired dinnerware.

One choice can transform you—or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves—and herself—while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.
Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.
New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth's much-anticipated second book of the dystopian Divergent series is another intoxicating thrill ride of a story, rich with hallmark twists, heartbreaks, romance, and powerful insights about human nature.
Why I Read This:
Divergent was my favourite book last year. I had to pick up the sequel!
Well...it wasn't as good as Divergent. That doesn't mean I'm not still in love with the world created by Veronica Roth. And Tris and Four (or are we calling him Tobias now?) are still some of my favourite characters. I did feel like a little bit of that awe and wonder I felt while reading the first book was lost on me here though.
But rather than focus on what I didn't like, I will keep that short and then go on to say what I did love about it. My biggest problems with Insurgent was that there was too much repetition. What I mean is the same things just kept happening over and over again. The second thing was that Tris was so depressed. I missed the old Tris. I understood her character and grief made more sense here, but I definitely wanted to see more of that strength from the first book.
What I did love:
Candor! My favourite faction and we finally get to see so much more of it in Insurgent. The truth serum scene - probably my favourite scene in the entire book.
We get to see a lot more of Erudite and Amity as well and the observations about these factions that Tris kept making, pointing out both the flaws and positives of each were some of my favourite scenes. Since we also get to see more of the factions it's easier to see where they all differ and where there are similarities. I found the whole thing fascinating.
The big secret. Yes, we know from book one that there is some kind of secret about the outside world. It's a dystopian after all, and the fact that the city is walled and no one is allowed outside the gates just tips us off that something must be going on there. In Insurgent we may not find out exactly what that is, but just the fact that Tris is starting to understand that there is more to this. It's awesome and it makes me more excited for the third book, where I hope more of the secret is revealed.
Character growth. There are books that focus on action and plot. There are books that focus on character. And then there are those like Insurgent that do both equally well. Tris may have been depressed for a large chunk of the story but the more she goes through on her journey, the more she understands about herself and grows from those experiences. I felt that was true not just of Tris but of others as well. Her friends, her enemies, her allies. Veronica Roth doesn't seem to do stagnant characters and I think that's one of the things that set her books apart from so many others like it.
My opinion - a great follow up. I didn't enjoy it as much as Divergent. On the other hand, what's to come can change everything!
My Rating:
I bought my copy.

BOLTON'S two cricket leagues have no intention of merging.
The Bolton League and the Bolton Association have issued a joint statement making it clear they plan to remain separate.
The two local leagues, who split in 1930, were prompted to make their intentions clear following rumours suggesting they may be considering joining forces.
The rumours are among many circulating around Lancashire and Greater Manchester that significant changes to the structure of amateur cricket in the region are under consideration.
In a joint statement issued yesterday, the two leagues said: "Officials from the Bolton Association and Bolton League met last week at Daisy Hill Cricket Club to discuss the proposed development of their leagues and other leagues in Greater Manchester.
"It was agreed by both parties that there would be no plans for the merger of the two leagues in the foreseeable future."

Health spokesman Paul Burstow said the party would also guarantee children had at least two hours of physical exercise at school each week.
The measures were outlined as part of a "preventative approach" to health.
Mr Burstow pledged to "bring back lessons on healthy eating and cooking so we stop turning out couch potatoes and microwave chefs".
'Winning taste-buds'
Mr Burstow added that the NHS should "treat prevention as seriously as cure" and outlined plans for MoT-style screening and free eye and dental tests.
He told the conference: "If the acceleration in childhood obesity witnessed over the past decade continues unchecked by 2020, more than half the nation's children will be obese.
"Our best hope for the future is to win the hearts, minds and taste-buds of today's children.
"At present, the curriculum focuses too much on turning out the next generation of food technologists, equipped to design the fast foods of the future but ill-equipped to cook a healthy meal at home."
The party would guarantee a minimum two hours' a week physical exercise in schools as well, he said.
The government's current aim is for 85% of children to have that amount of PE by 2007.
Other measures agreed at the conference included a "traffic light" food labelling system to warn of harmful fat levels and additives, and giving local and regional NHS bodies control over what happened in their area.

So I finally got my hands on the fabled Gosh 'Darling', the true nude, but even as I unwrapped it I just wasn't sure about this lipstick. I've been anti-nude lipstick without having tried a genuinely nude lipstick because I assumed they would make my already fair complexion look deathly ill, but this doesn't. I think it has just enough peachy-pink in it to make my lips look muted rather than corpse-like.
The formula is good – if a little drying with extended wear – and the scent is something sweet, vanilla I think. However, in applying this lipstick, you need to use the same principle you would use when applying a red lipstick: only apply to exfoliated lips in good condition, otherwise the lipstick will accentuate all the dry patches on your lips. I also find that, like a red lipstick, it requires a bit of maintenance during the day. Typical considerations during your day of wearing this lipstick will include: "Has the 'line' where my top lip meets my bottom lip appeared?"; and, "Do my lips look flakey?". For those of you who want to apply lipstick and go, Gosh 'Darling' may cause you unnecessary consternation.
I do find that this lipstick doesn't apply as evenly as many of my other lipsticks (but I'm mainly referring to Chanel Rouge Allure and YSL Rouge Pur here), but it's the kind of thing that only you would notice peering at close range into a mirror. Having said all of this, I do like this lipstick. It has just enough colour to give me healthy, muted lips. Needless-to-say, this is great for pairing with a strong, smokey eye, so it's an easy lipstick to throw into a collection. It also works as a kind of poor-man's lip erase if you feel like muting your natural colour to apply something bold over the top. Here's a picture of the lipstick on me:
Gosh 'Darling' is available from alenak09 on Ebay for USD $12.38 plus $4.65 shipping to Australia.

KEMP Hospice will hold an open day on Saturday at its charity shop on Coventry Street in Kidderminster with the aim of recruiting volunteers.
The event, which has been organised as part of the 30th anniversary of national Volunteers' Week, is searching for individuals to sort stock, prepare items for sale, work on tills and help customers.
Lynne Jones, head of retail at Kemp Hospice, said: "We couldn't run Kemp's retail operation without our wonderful volunteers.
"They come to us for lots of different reasons - to gain work experience or perhaps following retirement or a bereavement to make new friends whilst supporting their local charity.
"Volunteers stay with us because they know everything they do will contribute to the vital work the Hospice does."
The charity has shops in Kidderminster, Bewdley and Stourport.

WASHINGTON (Jun. 8)
The Union of Councils for Soviet Jews announced last week that it supports a Congressional letter urging the Reagan Administration to seek an international conference to restrict loans to the Soviet Union not linked to human rights or trade concessions. The "untied" loans exceeded $4 billion last year.
Rep. Jack Kemp (R. NY) has written to President Reagan urging him to raise the issue of untied loans at the Venice Economic Summit.
"These untied cash loans free up scarce Soviet resources or make available funds that can be directly diverted to finance aggression abroad and oppression and the military buildup at home," the letter reads. The letter asks Reagan to seek an agreement to hold a ministerial level conference that would seek the voluntary adoption of more disciplined lending policies by Western banks to the Soviet Union and its allies.
The letter was signed by Sens. Dennis De-Concini ( D.Az.), Gordon Humphrey ( R. NH), Howard Metzenbaum ( D. Ohio), Phil Gramm (R. Tx.), Malcolm Wallop (R. Wyo.), Robert Kasten (R.Wis.) and William Armstrong (R. Colo) and six Representatives.
"I am very concerned that these loans could just be the tip of the iceberg," said Kemp in a press release. "There is every indication that the Soviet Union is preparing to enter the Eurobond market, which is also an untied loan market, thereby tapping American pension funds, insurance companies, and other corporations."

Kyrie Irving: Cavaliers would have won title if everyone was healthy
Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving said on The Big Podcast With Shaq that he believes his team would have won the NBA Finals if everyone was healthy.
Irving fractured his left kneecap during Game 1 of the Finals against the Golden State Warriors and had previously missed two games during the Eastern Conference finals after being diagnosed with left knee tendonitis.
The Cavaliers also lost power forward Kevin Love after he dislocated his left shoulder during the first round of the playoffs.
Cleveland took a 2–1 lead in the Finals before the Warriors won three in a row to win the title in six games.
• MANNIX: Kevin Love wisely decides to return to LeBron, Cavaliers
"I'm more or less the voice of reason," Irving said. "I'm always going to be a straight shooter with everyone and give them my honest opinion. Obviously, we have a great thing in Cleveland, and we dealt with everything together.
"I feel like we definitely would have won an NBA championship if we had everyone healthy," he said. "But almost doesn't count."
Last week, Love announced that he will return to the Cavaliers next season after opting out of his 2015–16 contract. He will reportedly sign a five-year, $110 million extension.
• GOLLIVER: Who's left? Top players still available in free agency
The Cavaliers finished 53–29 in the regular season in LeBron James' first year back in Cleveland.

Office Christmas parties - HMRC's view
With the Christmas season upon us, it is a good time to look at the tax treatments for staff entertaining.
Whilst the cost of entertaining customers and business contacts is not an allowable expense for tax purposes, entertaining staff is allowed so long as the entertaining is for business purposes, and not incidental to other entertainment. So your office Christmas party is an allowable expense for tax purposes, however the devil lurks in the detail:
As long as the entertainment is for business purposes, any VAT suffered can be reclaimed, but it may ...

"The Siege of Western Civilization has become an international bestseller. One reason is that its host and narrator, Herb Meyer, provides the clearest possible explanation of what the War on Terrorism is about--and of why our armed forces are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Right now, when so many Americans are questioning the war, we believe its message is more important than ever. And we want to give members of our armed forces--and their families--some 'ammunition' to defend themselves against the war's critics. They're the people who are on the front lines defending our civilization, and we've decided that making The Siege of Western Civilization available to them for free should be our way of expressing our appreciation."

Business News of Monday, 28 May 2012
Source: Daily Graphic
The depreciation in the value of the cedi in current times does not pose a veritable threat to the country's food security, the deputy Minister of Food and Agriculture responsible for Crops, Mr. Yaw Effah-Baafi, has said.
He said there was no need to panic over food shortage, since timely interventions have been fashioned with supporting stake holder organisations and the country's development partners to address any shortfall.
Mr. Effa-Baafi gave the assurance at a press conference after the opening of the Ghana Agriculture Investment Forum held in Accra.
"The situation is not as bad as it may seem," he said, adding that a comparison with other African countries proved that Ghana's efforts in the agricultural sector were yielding good results.
He explained that although the contribution of agriculture to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) had declined from 51 per cent to 36 percent, staple food crops were still routinely cultivated in various parts of the country.
"Many of the staples are safe due to timely interventions which the government, in partnership with some organisations, continues to carry out," he said.
The forum was organised by the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) as part of activities marking five years of its inception.
The forum, held on the theme: "Africa's Agriculture Green Revolution - Is Ghana on Track?" was aimed at bringing together players in the agricultural value chain to dialogue oil how to effectively operationalise a green revolution and the country's preparedness to implement a full-scale agricultural green revolution.
Expatiating on the efforts the government was making in the area of agriculture at the press conference, Mr Effah-Baafi said despite the enormity of the task of achieving a green revolution, the country had accomplished much in the positive light.
He said the government's plan to subsidise improved seeds, in addition to fertilisers and other agricultural supplies, was on course.
He added that about 100 agricultural mechanisation centres would be established in various districts by the end of the year as part of efforts to strengthen the policy support system of the agricultural sector.
The AGRA Director of Monitoring and Evaluation, Dr David Sarfo Ameyaw, said AGRA partnered various organisations to ensure that goals set in various areas were attained.
He said the collaboration with academia, for instance, would ensure quality training of the next generation of scientists and agronomists for the benefit of the country and Africa.
By the end of the year, he said, 80 students would graduate with doctorate degrees from the West Africa Centre for Crop Improvement at the University of Ghana and the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology.
He said the training was to build the capacity in various specialisations of agriculture to deal with the various challenges, so that new mechanisms to help attain food security on the continent would be evolved.
Dr Ameyaw explained that AGRA's role was to catalyse the transformation of agriculture into a highly productive; efficient and sustainable system to ensure food security and alleviate poverty among millions.
The Programme Officer of the Agro Dealer Development Unit of AGRA, Dr Kehinde Makinde, said to attain such a goal, the participation of all stakeholders, including smallholder farmers, was essential.
He said although small-holder farmers seemed less authoritative, they contributed 80 per cent of total agricultural production in the country.
He, therefore, stated the need for such farmers to be unionised in order to form a formidable force to compete with large commercial farmers.
That, he said, would create a common goal at which the larger number of small-holder farmers would work.
He said building a strong communication with and among farmers proved to be the basis for lasting collaboration, adding that community radio had been adopted as a strategic medium to disseminate information and educate farmers on modem agricultural practices.
Dr Makinde was convinced that the country was capable of alleviating' poverty among its people and urged all to take a keen interest in agriculture and other issues of national development.

Well, if adding some new documents caused the problem to pop up, and
it's failing consistently, you ought to try to isolate which of these
new documents is causing the failure. If you can isolate one or a few
documents that cause the error to happen, we can try to reproduce the
error on other systems. On the other hand, it may be that it's not just
one or two documents, but the whole set you have now, which brings out
this error, in which case it'll be much harder to track down.

JOSH Why bagged a brace as the high-flying Chickens chalked up a fourth win on the spin in the Dorset Senior League.
Jamie Rawlings was also on target for the table-toppers who now sit two points clear at the summit after Westland Sports could only manage a 1-1 draw at home to Blandford United Reserves.
Chickerell United boss Steve Coward told Echosport: "Witchampton came into the game full of confidence following their recent win over Upwey in the Senior Trophy and, to be fair, they are a hard team to beat.
"They had two ex-Holt United lads in the middle of the park, and they are one of the better footballingg sides in the league, so to play well against them and get a 3-0 win was very pleasing.
"It was good to see us take our chances and I thought there were some really good performances.
"Josh Why scored twice before half-time and then Jamie Rawlings got the third after the break.
"Jamie has been doing really well, his work rate has been fantastic and I was delighted to see him get his goal which was thoroughly deserved.
"Andrew Stalker also came in from the reserves and had a good game, and with Westlands dropping points it turned out to be a great afternoon for us."
This Saturday at the Stalls, Chickerell will look to get revenge over South Cheriton (3pm) who won the last meeting between the two clubs 3-2 back in November.
Chickens: Boore, Stalker, Guilbert (Rawlings 65), Ferguson, Coles, D Welch, Etherington, Stone (Protheroe 75), S Welch, Why, White (Heath 85).
Upwey & Broadwey returned to winning ways in emphatic fashion against struggling Okeford United.
Still smarting from their Senior Trophy defeat to Witchampton the previous week, Upwey battered the basement boys 11-0 with goals from Sam Nichols (2), Ricky Lane (2), Charlie Kenderdine (2), Charlie May (2), Ethan Devaney, Nathan Aston and Richard Frost.
Next up for Upwey is a home clash against Corfe Mullen United on Saturday (3pm).
