Southern Potato Soup
Recipe by Tallie in Pacific NW
This is a family recipe I'm ever so happy to share! At times I substitute precooked Hickory Smoked Bacon in place of Ham and serve w/what else? Potato rolls, or ever better- Hawaiian Bread Rolls ;) I've never actually measured any of this-I just do it! So, have fun w/it!
Top Review by VickyJ
This was VERY good! We had this for supper tonight. I added some green onion for color and some cream towards the end, because my SO was late for dinner (to thin it out). You didn't state in your directions on where to add the medium onion... so, I diced it and sauteed, then added to the potato, seasonings and water. On the side, I served garlic bread and Saltines. Thank you for a warming meal. This was made for Spring PAC 2010.

In One Billion Hungry, Sir Gordon Conway, one of the world's foremost experts on global food needs, explains the many interrelated issues critical to our global food supply from the science of agricultural advances to the politics of food security. He expands the discussion begun in his influential The Doubly Green Revolution: Food for All in the Twenty-First Century, emphasizing the essential combination of increased food production, environmental stability, and poverty reduction necessary to end endemic hunger on our planet.
Conway addresses a series of urgent questions about global hunger:
How we will feed a growing global population in the face of a wide range of adverse factors, including climate change?
What contributions can the social and natural sciences make in finding solutions?
And how can we engage both government and the private sector to apply these solutions and achieve significant impact in the lives of the poor?
Conway succeeds in sharing his informed optimism about our collective ability to address these fundamental challenges if we use technology paired with sustainable practices and strategic planning.
Beginning with a definition of hunger and how it is calculated, and moving through issues topically both detailed and comprehensive, each chapter focuses on specific challenges and solutions, ranging in scope from the farmer's daily life to the global movement of food, money, and ideas. Drawing on the latest scientific research and the results of projects around the world, Conway addresses the concepts and realities of our global food needs: the legacy of the Green Revolution; the impact of market forces on food availability; the promise and perils of genetically modified foods; agricultural innovation in regard to crops, livestock, pest control, soil, and water; and the need to both adapt to and slow the rate of climate change. One Billion Hungry will be welcomed by all readers seeking a multifacted understanding of our global food supply, food security, international agricultural development, and sustainability.

Well, this cynical, snap election is tomorrow and we urge you to vote tactically for the only party apart from The Greens calling for a second referendum on Europe and Brexit, the Liberals, who may double their seats. But elsewhere to vote for Jeremy Corbyn and Labour. He will not win it, indeed his cabinet is not fit for office, and yet he has a voice of real integrity that must be heard. Especially in the face of Teresa May's utterly cynical soundbite political opportunism. A woman who voted to stay in Europe jumped on the Brexit bandwagon, was so stupid to make it a Hard Brexit, when no one else around the world can understand it, and is playing the strong-Britain card like a puppet of the Ministry of Truth or one of the bad witches in Harry Potter. What turned it for us though was not only Corbyn's marvellously improved speech making and rally to arms, which has breathed new life into a democratic process, but his saying he would not be afraid to pick up the phone and tell Donald Trump he is simply wrong about Climate Change and so much more. In such contrast to May's very Tory scramble to suck up to Trump, getting promises that mean absolutely nothing, now Trump has gone rather quiet on Brexit and Britain being at the head of any queue. People have come to power on populist opportunism and we need conviction politics everywhere. Good luck tomorrow.
She doesn't have a name, such a beautiful wild lioness, even though the guides on our trip had at least got her used to the jeep. We were about twenty five feet away, after having searched for two days, seeing old, dry tracks, and the remains of a zebra that had been killed months before. Then, bumping through the bush in the Kalahari, that lions will use as shade and cover to take animals, Jonah suddenly spotted what we couldn't see at all. He swung the jeep around and there they were, not one but three lionesses, the two more retiring companions almost lost in the tangle of Wait-a-Bit trees next to her, stretching and yawning in the African heat. Breath taking.
I don't know if I could see the anguish in her face that my companion Arabella did, the tension and strain, that made us warier of moving where we sat. Apparently lions' eyesight cannot easily distinguish shape and colour, they see blocks, so they react to things breaking out of the frame. That anguish though is because she had had two cubs, a male and female, but a lion, not the father, who had been following these three females around the area, had first killed the male cub, then driven out or killed the female too. Perhaps new cubs will succeed the little tragedy.
How gloriously different though, after our experience of meeting two lions in South Africa in a 4 hectare fenced enclosure in Plett Bay, to see these Queens of Jungle and Bush in the true wild and led by such a proud, beautiful, astonishingly powerful creature. The story of lions though, and the collapse of populations in the late Twentieth Century, is as tragic as so many wildlife stories. It has a particular nasty Human side too, in the existence of what they call 'Canned Hunting', not here in Botswana where any such hunting is illegal, but in South Africa. Where it is legal to breed lions in captivity – there are something like 8000 captive lions there today – for the private zoo trade, or 'Petting Tourism', where Europeans pay high prices to supposedly suckle them for Conservation, but where their final destination is really death at the end of some high paying 'hunter's' rifle. In South Africa three lions are shot for sport every single day and they go for around $60,000. I don't know if Donald Trump's sons have taken such lions, but they have certainly been in the Press for their enthusiasm for Big Game sport shooting. The shameful, cruel and scandalous practice of Canned Lion Hunting, animals often drugged and baited before an easy and senseless kill, I am sure the likes of that lion of a man Nelson Mandela would not have condoned, was confirmed in 2014 by the South African Supreme Court under Jacob Zuma's administration.
The irony in it though is that lion numbers in South Africa have probably gone up because of legal breeding. Yet, compared with this vision of the true wild in Botswana, what kind of life do those captive animals really have? What kind of sport is it to slaughter them too? Or is that killing of this lioness's cubs in the wild part of a brutal truth always in the background of existence, human and animal, with increasing populations and ever shrinking habitats, we just have no answer to? Yet, for all the brutalities of life and the world, surely Man's real talent could be to avoid that kind of senseless ugliness, and what the wildlife organisation Four Paws describes as "selling brutality". In the Kalahari, with the raising of endless miles of fencing, partly to try and stamp out Foot and Mouth disease, European meat markets are so sensitive to, natural migration routes have been disrupted and both Zebra and Wildebeest populations decimated. Inevitably predators like lions have suffered dramatically too. But at least that hot day this beautiful February in Botswana, three graceful lionesses enjoyed their freedom, only caught in the photo can, and the true wild was there, in all its paradoxical wonder.

They stand at the heart of that oddly adult Children's Classic The Little Prince: The mighty Baobab trees. The first I met, several in fact, bloomed wonderfully, grotesquely and inspiringly in the Kalahari, at the tourist camp in Botswana, Planet Baobab. The second was the sad sight of a fallen giant, the legendary Chapman's baobab. It tore apart and collapsed after the hottest day ever recorded in Botswana, for those Global Warming sceptics, on January 7th, 2016. Much more to say on that, or Green's baobab, we sloshed over a kilometre to reach, through unusually waterlogged ground this February, with excellent rains this year in Botswana. But for the moment you can see some of the ideas, the Art and the ambition too around them in an article in Geographical Magazine, Just Click Here. It's the start of a great adventure, and if you're a traveller, a tree lover, indeed a tree hugger, or just like great stories, then do please Like, for more tales and blogs of the wonderful creatures.

Phoenix Ark are very proud to be supporting and promoting a group of four great artists in South Africa, who have founded a little Collective in Cape Town's beautiful Kalk Bay, at The Kalk Bay Artists Collective. There Chris Bladen, Pete Strydom, Arabella Caccia and Jean Tiran now have their own workshops, but a lovely gallery space too, currently by invitation, to help support each other and to try and challenge the Gallery system too.
Chris is a highly renowned fish and wildlife sculptor, whose almost scientifically realistic fish, birds and animals stem from his own love of sports fishing and the environment. They sell around the world. He is also a superb jeweller. Pete is self taught, but his passion and wit ring out, and his sculptures range from gorgeous sunbirds to humorous modernist camels. Arabella is both award winning painter and sculptor whose work has auctioned at Southebys and, like all of them, is deeply inspired by nature and the shapes inside it, especially trees, to capture the vivid colours and forms of Africa. Jean Tiran is the Master Craftsman of the workshop, but also a wonderful abstract sculptor in his own right. To see them, their Mission Statement, their website and their work, just Click Here
Phoenix Ark and the artists are keen to build long term relationships with buyers, not least because work can be finished to detailed orders and editions. Links to individual websites can be found by clicking above. For International clients, even with the costs of shipping and tax, the work still represents considerable value. To contact them you can write directly here, to The Collective or to the artists individually, via the website.

His name is Cobra, and he has been working with the excellent, high end travel outfit in the Kalahari, Uncharted Africa, for years. I think he started as a boy with the hunter Jack Bousfield, who was killed in a plane crash, where his son Ralph was injured, back in 1992. So Ralph founded Jack's Camp, in honour of his father, and so came San Camp and Camp Kalahari too, all in reach of each other, here in beautiful Botswana, on the edge of the Makadikadi salt pans. I'll blog more on the wonders and style of our visit, of lionesses, meerkats, and an evening ride among three thousand Zebra, during the migration. We were thoroughly spoilt and the only decent thing is to share just a little of it with you here.
But first to something Uncharted offer too, which is a two hour walk with the 'Bushmen'. Of course nowadays that term is decidedly politically incorrect, for the San and Koi peoples, among the oldest cultures and people of Africa. I do not mean it to insult, far from it. Their guttural, clicking, beautifully sing-song tongue is the root of the Xhosa language in South Africa, though linguistically they have long split apart. I think we all felt a little awkward as we rounded a Wait-a-bit tree, heavy with Long lensed cameras, our bronzed skins fizzing with mosquito repellent and wearing shades, to see a small group of adults and children, all apart from Cobra, in traditional dress. The group come for around three months, paid by Uncharted, though I have no idea what, then are replaced by another group, so inevitably came the potential feeling of a stage set, and a forced exercise.
But very quickly we were put at our ease, after many handshakes, reassured that these guys like it, including being photographed, and actually several of the bare breasted women dandling their dirty babies hardly seemed phased at all. Somewhat bemused, or amused. So off we set, wondering what on earth we were doing, to stop now and then, to pull up a bitter herb, a xoi, or wild carrot, or pluck purple pepper pod leaves that help cure a dry cough, or try and understand their mesmerizing language. I'm afraid I still haven't grasped names, but a couple of the younger guys and girls had very good English too, to translate, and somehow the awkwardness eased, as we started to enjoy a walk in one of the largest, and hardest gardens on earth, the Kalahari. Several of the men carried delicate asagais, I'm not sure of the bushman word for spears, made from the hard wood of the brandy bush, and one arrows and a bow, though technically, like everyone else in peaceful Botswana, they are not allowed to hunt. I have a problem with that, because although I thoroughly approve of Botswana's general ban on Big Game hunting, which should be adopted across Africa, what will it do to their unique culture and lives, among such an un-invasive people?
The story of the Bushman is probably as sad as much of the rest of the World. Now perhaps two thousand live a truly traditional, nomadic life in the Kalahari, and have been moved especially from the central parts around the Diamond reserves, though 'Conservation' is generally the excuse, to the edge of towns or their own communities. Diamonds! Those beautiful, over valued stones we like to give each other on bits of gold as a symbol of Love ad Eternity, that generally are pretty useless, especially when we've ruined the Wild and the World for Eternity. But never make too many assumptions. One of the guys smiled knowingly as I asked him what he wore in Frances Town or his village. Jeans and Tshirts was of course the answer, sometimes, especially in town, as I learnt he was studying Engineering. But on we trecked, this mobile outfit from Botswana's equivalent of Central Casting breaking away to pluck a purple pepper pod, or show us an animal track. Especially the elder guys were watching and knew, and you knew too that if you were ever lost in the desert, forget Ray Mears or Bear Grylls, it was these guys you wanted with you!
The ground was dry, despite the unusually heavy rains this February, and soon the girl I had been trying to vaguely flirt with, or prove I wasn't an arrogant Westerner to, was crouched on the earth, teasing the guys about their jokes that this was women's work, digging for a special water tuber which they scrape like a carrot, then squeeze, using the thumb as a spout, to drink the milky, bitter fluid. That I tried too and it tastes like pure water, when your brain separates out the turnip bit. Back she placed it in the ground too, for another day. Meanwhile the men were collecting dry Zebra dung, twigs and fine kindling to show us the primal art of Fire. Cobra was trying to upstage them though – they came from different tribes and didn't talk the same language – scooping out the earth to catch a scorpion, that he played around with, then popped between his lips and teeth, so he could clean it and show the eight eyes, and eight spots on its underbelly, that relate it to a spider. I tried to talk to Cobra, about what he thought of tourists, or the problems of his people, and though there were lots of reassuring 'goods', his extraordinary face seemed naturally lined with doubt.
But the fire was going, the group and the little children decidedly interested in their own stuff, and so began a kind of song and a game I think I'll never forget. Men opposite women, it was a version of Paper, Rock, Fire, though with moves and signs for Lightening and Steenbok instead. But they so got into it, laughing with delight, that fascinating machine-gun rapid song language rising to some enchanted drumbeat, we were all laughing too and slapping our chests in rhythm wanting to really be part of it. The Game was done, the fire out, a smoke in a bone pipe complete, I had been dying to try too, from a tiny wad of tobacco couched between one of the lady's breasts, that makes you wonder how many pula they earn, and just like the water plant, the fire remains were pushed into a hole and smoothed over. Gone. One more thing left, as I tried to throw a spear, the little snare they had made under the tree, for birds, or even the tiny deer we had seen everywhere. They laughed approvingly as I was persuaded to put my hand through the vine-made noose, to touch the bark gum bait and I was caught.
Now we were wandering again, the sun high, feeling as if we had touched a little bit of a very innocent Eden. It was all there. All you really need in life. Food. Water. Fire. And a laughing song-game. Then suddenly they began to break away, after all of them shaking our hands once more. We of course had no idea where we had wandered in the bush, but there we were back near their camp, like turning the corner to the semi-detached. Cobra and his fine, long faced compatriot, such a dignified, beautiful face, hopped in the jeep with us for a lift back to Jack's Camp, but it was over. It will go on. For the other tourists, a walk in the Kalahari, though Uncharted offer a trip where you can live with them, without any other creature comforts. But for any staginess, any odd conjunction of Ancient and rather Modern, that many of the Botswanans around looked at somewhat sceptically, I was deeply touched. I thought of all the problems, all the fights and horrors of the World, of the grossness of Donald Trump and all that Power, the difficult issues of Conservation too, and precisely because these gentle, threatened people seemed to leave no harmful mark, felt very genuinely that we could all take a purple pepper pod leaf out of the Bushman's book.

Perhaps all is managing expectation and when I dreamt of a South African Safari it was certainly dreaming of the real wild. For that though you will have to go up to the Karoo or the Kruger National park and give its perhaps a couple of weeks. Instead, in the Southern Cape, and for a short visit, come the smaller Game Reserves, often in danger of carrying the label of a zoo. But which also allow you to get very close to some wonderful animals you might not even see in the real wild and taste something of the 'Safari' experience. One example is the two and a half thousand hectare reserve just above pretty Plettenberg bay. Plettenberg being a place worth a visit in itself, for its delicious golden beaches lapped by the warmer Indian Ocean, lunch at the eccentric Grand hotel, or some Rock n' Roll among the…

The End of British Parliamentary Democracy?
It's a moot point whether David Cameron should ever have called a Referendum on Europe, but if more voices are not heard now, then Parliament may loose its purpose altogether. With enormous anguish about a very small majority in the Referendum, 52-48% of us, that changed after the result, it has now taken a passionate private citizen to even bring this through the courts. Bravo, and apologies from Britain for all the foul online hate you have had to suffer! But Constitutional law demands that actually Article Fifty can only be triggered by a vote in Parliament, which is being debated tomorrow and on Wednesday.
Well, those who have fought for Brexit crow that it already happened with the Referendum last June. Actually, if Donald Trump can so cut through Democratic processes, nothing is certain in Politics, much what the Brexiteers want of their own power, and nothing is absolutely true either. Except perhaps momentum. The report on Channel Four news after the Supreme Court decision, put the likelihood of any real opposition to Brexit now though as absolutely negligible. Why? Because Labour is in such pathetic disarray and was never particularly European anyway. Because the Liberals were destroyed by being too keen to exercise power and then Nick Clegg's attempt to fight an election simply on being the middle-ground, restraining, supposedly reasonable force was a shameful disaster. Because the truly moral voices of visionary Conservatism, like Ken Clarke, stand against a supposed tide of history and individual ambition.
So MPs from all parties, consumed with fear of 'popular opinion', and no doubt swept up by the heady Executive power being shown by Donald Trump, will ignore the problem of a Referendum, the fact that it was no sweeping victory at all, and all the confusions of a future they can neither see nor understand. But it is precisely why there should be a huge grasp at the chance of true debate now, or true and creative opposition, despite David Davis' plan to sweep this through with a quick, short Act, 137 words long. True opposition will not happen, because we live in a populist, increasingly demagogic age, that has forgotten the most fundamental principle of true Parliamentary Democracy, over push button, Plebecite politics, expressed by that great Tory Edmund Burke, during the French Revolution, in his speech to the electors of Bristol. There he not only foresaw the coming Terror but defined the fact that though an MP owes their power and responsibility to their electors, they also owe the electors the authority and freedom of their own conscience. The truth is there was never any true debate about Europe, or the World, because the pro Europe Campaign was so lame. Perhaps no excuse, but if we are really talking about British Sovereignty, Parliamentary Democracy, surely now is the time that Parliament itself must stand up, each individual MP must stand up, and have a true debate. It will not happen.
Despite the new attempt at an Orwellian Ministry of Truth from the Washington Press Spokesman in this statement that crowds at the 45th US President's inauguration were huge, but Media coverage doctored, and of what has been universally described as a low turnout, I've been a bit confused by the coverage too, on TV and especially Radio Four. With commentators, although mentioning minor riots in Washington, in fact talking about the razzamatazz, glamour, triumph and good support. Perhaps we should all have been invited to the parties, or they are trying to ride some wave.
To me the entire thing felt and looked like a funeral, subdued, fearful, ominous and Trump's speech was sinister. That super hotelier of a President, who does not read, clearly looked as if he needed a hug, and at times you were even tempted. But when he came out with that frightening garbage, I and I hope any of the civilised world, hung their heads in shame. It lacked any breath of oratory or Statesmanship – from sea to sea, from ocean to Ocean (!), blah, – and was Messianic in its American bombast and virtually illiterate. Protectionism, Isolationism, America First, wiping things from faces of the Earth, God leads us, We The People, or You, when he lost the popular vote. God, what a contrast to Obama's superb and needed oratory, especially after George W.'s damage, so much a part of the rise of World Terrorism, with the arrival of a First Black President and his inspiring humility on his departure. Not that oratory is enough, but then, as Edith Clavell once said too, Patriotism is not enough either! Or not enough for the Planet now.
Trump is not only a Plutocrat with a dodgy history, but the First Americo-Russian Oligarch. Probably why he so seems to admire Putin. Or is that Putin's grabbing of Pussy Riot? Perhaps that's unfair, America was forged by big business men too, from Carnegie to Rockerfeller, as Putin's power was secured with the rise of the Oligarchs, but you'd hope something might move on and it was Government's job to hold their likes in check. His scornful comment about those people congratulating him who had once attacked him though is so totally to misunderstand what difficult but always preferable Democracy must deal with, and why others were at such pains to celebrate the peaceful transfer of power. But now his arrogance and stupidity, not in the commercial sense, I'm sure he's very savvy about how big business bullies, or he does, how his wife can get a commercial leg up, or how he goes serially bankrupt so he can make more money, as others loose out, and according to Channel Four advised by a lawyer to Crime Families , will try to take a chainsaw to complex checks and balances. Rowe V Wade, the EPA, the PAA already negated, the end of abortion assistance in Developing countries, you name it.
Is it right to attack the corruption and swamp of Washington though, as if the only movie Donald ever watches is Mr Smith Goes to Washington? He's certainly no James Stewart or Frank Capra. Well actually I think elements are right, have experienced the corruption at the top, yet the power of The Hill and US social divides is really about the problems of Super Capitalism and Wall Street, exactly what Trump is such an arch and tasteless exponent of, despite what he claims. Now in his cabinet he has several members of Goldman Sachs, that 'Universal Spider' so implicated in the Greek crisis. What is so wrong with a liberal elite anyhow, in comparison to a new hyper Conservative and Right wing elite of pure money and capital? Though it must be said that the Liberal Media seems to have just got it spectacularly wrong in the new series of Homeland, predicting that a Woman and Anti War President would now be in the Whitehouse. Perhaps they are indeed deeply out of touch. As for movements, Hitler too really was a revolutionary, though at least he far Trumped Trump in being a very eloquent demagogue. I am sorry though America, but for a Country that is rather great, the only Super Power, actually perhaps you deserve the Politicians or the Democracy you get.
So, The Paris Accord on Environmental initiatives and emissions is now a dead letter, because, er, it's just not true, cos The Donald says so, any reference has been removed from the Government website, those guys are just making money out of it, Tump's bottom line, and because we don't want or can't afford for it to be true! Um, it is true, 95% of scientists agree, while it is fatuously obvious that the little Earth is a finite resource, Rainforests are being decimated, species vanishing every second and the Ice caps going. Now admittedly, in the bewildering Extinction and Evolution of species, once upon a time the entire Earth was one great big snowball, but frankly that was 65 Million years ago and I don't think the super survival of Donald Trump and family is the pinnacle of Human or Animal Evolution, or indeed taste. Meanwhile Russia becomes more and more aggressive, but Trump denies that his own Secret Services are right in pointing to Russia's attempt to influence the election, precisely because he is exactly of Putin's dictatorial stamp and we will see far more of that. Already he has struck at Nato. His Office's attacks on the Press are also symptomatic. While here, We The Fractious People of once Great Britain, are now rushing as ever up America's special arse, which included Tony Blair's corrupt and also semi-messianic support of the war in Iraq, that caused so much extremism, because we are still obsessed with having once had an Empire, including America. Can't we see that now is exactly the time to turn back to a United Europe though, with the values that made or make us too, quite as much as anything American?
Britain always trailed its feet in Europe, could never take any lead and perhaps a tragedy is that was just a fact of life, De Gaulle never wanted us in, although many here wanted reform, especially with the terrible example of Greece. In that sense Europe is as much to blame, though Brexit is surely greatly to blame for Donald Trump, even more worrying with the growth of far Right parties, and if a leader emerged who could sound that clarion call, economic, political, but cultural too, including the needed culture or awareness of World Environmentalism, perhaps there might be a Geopolitical shift away from what is happening now. But where is that kind of leader made in Britain anymore? Nowhere. It certainly isn't Jeremy Corbyn, who seems eternally confused. Well, there is an interesting moment with the Supreme Court ruling here that both houses of Parliament need to decide on the enacting of Article Fifty to take us out of Europe. Ironically of course a true lead probably needs to come from that most recently reviled of Empire builders, Germany.
Henry Kissinger was interesting in saying maybe Britain can play the most unique of roles in still uniting America and Europe, but there is nothing that suggests it will do so in the right way for the World, or for what still drives the most decent and admired of British values. That Little Englander Nigel Farage is also a Trump kind of guy, our Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson makes fatuous jokes about punishment beatings, which forget that not everyone had fun at Eton and why should Europe give Britain everything it wants, and Theresa May has potential, though is no Margaret Thatcher, if I' not sure if that is a compliment. What is it intellectually though that any of them can truly stand up for in the arrival of Donald John Trump, or that inauguration speech? These are very nervous times, or interesting times, as the Chinese might say. Just before Christmas one of the most famous Shorters of shares and markets, Bill Bonner, who predicted the fall of Communism, The Dot Com Crash, The Japan Crisis, and 2008, and has a very interesting track record, came out with an almost apocalyptic prediction about a crisis beginning in America, the like of which the World has never seen. Because of trillions in US debt, and the absence of actual physical US currency, since up to 50% and higher is in Foreign hands, and the ability of global bankers and private individuals to take vast amounts suddenly out of the Markets, he talks of ATM Machines just stopping, fuel stations running out, Social Security cheques ending. He says he doesn't want it to happen, but feels duty bound to warn people how to protect their friends and family. It has a survivalist American stamp, and of course he is a natural shorter who benefits by calamity, while his warning preceded a suggestion we buy into his monthly newsletter at his Global company Agora, which has two million followers around the world. Most people can't afford to play at that level anyway. But even the FT this weekend was talking ominously about Black Swan theory, of unseen things around the corner, of Neom Chomsky's warning now about the biggest and most dangerous centralisation of power in the form of the American Military-Industrial Complex. And of course America's spending on the Military is massively higher than any Nation on Earth and about to go up, as The Don talks new Arms Races and First Strike capabilities. It is also the greatest consumer of Energy on Earth.
Well, what can you say? Donald Trump has certainly stuck to being Donald Trump. If in fact his words have always wobbled like any businessman. Perhaps he is planning Soviet Style Show Trials of the likes of Hilary Clinton. Does he have a vision for American regeneration though, the likes of which Roosevelt used to inspire and unite a Nation? I doubt it very much. Roosevelt's National works programme, that helped to build access to the Grand Canyon, was rooted in a sense both of Nature and good works. Meanwhile, as the machine hurtles on, and we are all caught up and implicated in it, Government should always have acted to enforce new Research and Development initiatives into different energy capture technologies, storage, emissions targets and so on, by powerful companies, to make them responsible at every level. We could do with such a Roosevelt style initiative of regeneration in Britain. In the meantime, as Bill Bonner might say, you have been warned! Then everything about Trump was a warning and America still let him in. Go on, The Don, give the World some hope, don't put up walls at everyone else's expense.

Women with clothes to offload who don't have the time for tyre-kickers at markets or the tedium of online auctions are turning to private sales to clear their wardrobes.
Think of it as the fashion version of a garage sale, with a little more pizzazz, sometimes a glass of bubbly and some free styling advice.
Jess Dempsey, a Melbourne fashion blogger, is joining two other "fashion girls" – Jasmin Howell and Sanchia Sevell – for a wardrobe clearance this Saturday at the rear of an Armadale boutique.
She has about 500 items to clear but "didn't want to do markets as I'm a mum, and my husband works on the weekends", when most fashion markets are on.
Among the most expensive items she has are T-shirts by Givenchy and Moschino, which are expected to fetch up to $250. But the bulk of her collection comprises high street brands from London, with prices starting at $10.
Ms Dempsey said holding the sale in vacant space at the back of a shop was a way to encourage people to continue visiting shopping strips as the weather starts to cool.
While Ms Dempsey and friends are using a shopfront to sell their designer wardrobes, the trend of private home sales is growing.
Stylist and designer Emily Highfield has made $5000 since launching a sale in her apartment several months ago.
Interested customers booked appointments through her Instagram page, with most spending anywhere from $30 to $800.
"It was awesome for me because I didn't have to go to all the effort of carting everything to a market stall venue, unloading, selling all day flat out, trying to keep watch for thieves and then packing it all up again. Market stalls are a lot of effort – the most I've made so far at a market stall was around $2000."
While there are security benefits to a home sale, there are also potential privacy issues.
One Melbourne writer planning a sale later this year has advertised on Facebook – after culling her friend list – and won't give out her address until people have provided their credentials.
Still, she said it was worth the effort to attract a more discerning buyer than at markets.
"There are hours spent in the lead-up tagging pieces individually with prices, you need to be up at dawn to pack the car and drive to the location, do the set-up . . . It didn't appeal to me any more."
Ms Dempsey said people thinking of holding their own sales should stick to some basic guidelines for success.
"Don't over-price, don't expect too much. If you're pricing too high [customers] can get something new for the same price. If you're committing to do it, you commit to getting rid of everything," she said.
The blogger sale will take place at Bared Footwear, 1098 High Street, Armadale, 10am-2pm. Part of the proceeds will go to Very Special Kids.

Cleveland Indians Flaws Already Being ExposedApril 21, 2013
Cleveland Indians Flaws Already Being Exposed
When the Cleveland Indians started the 2013 season, the organization and fan base had high hopes for the season. There was a new regime in town. There were new players with a lot of promise. Things were definitely looking up in Cleveland.
Now that the Tribe is almost done with April, there are certain flaws that are becoming more exposed and more obvious. Some of these flaws were well documented before the season started. Other flaws were swept under the rug with the hope that no player—or team—would catch them.
With the Indians 17 games into their season, there are a handful of flaws plaguing the team that have become glaringly obvious.
Starting Pitching
If you are an Indians fan, and let's assume you are, starting pitching has been the comeback to every person's argument. For every person that spent February and March trying to convince others that the Cleveland Indians were legitimate contenders, there were two or three others commenting on the fact that the starting pitching was weak.
They weren't wrong.
Ubaldo Jimenez is probably the biggest disappointment. His failure to control his pitches has left him with a WHIP nearing 2.000 and an ERA north of 11.00.
Brett Myers, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday with a right forearm injury, has looked more like a batting practice pitcher than a starting pitcher. With only three games under his belt this season, he has already given up ten home runs. However, unlike Jimenez, at least Myers is throwing strikes.
The only problem is his strikes are landing in the seats instead of the catcher's mitt.
Justin Masterson and Zach McAllister are the anchors of the rotation. There could be improvements from McAllister in regards to his composure on the mound, but overall these two just need run support.
Scott Kazmir had his debut with the Indians on Saturday night and he couldn't have been more comfortable. The Indians came out and put up 14 runs in the first two innings.
Remember what I said about run support?
Even though Kazmir got the rare run support, he couldn't stick it out until the fifth inning for the win. Instead he allowed six runs on seven hits in three and one-third inning. That is good for a 16.20 ERA to start off his comeback tour.
Chris Perez
Lately, Chris "Pure Rage" Perez is enraging the fans more than the opposing batters. The sometimes eccentric pitcher has the intensity of a closer everyone wants, but the accuracy of a blind man in an archery contest.
Unfortunately, the best pitch in his arsenal is his slider. It's unfortunate because that pitch has been landing everywhere but the strike zone lately.
The 5-4 win against the Houston Astros on Sunday was a perfect example of the inconsistency of Chris Perez. He got in trouble early in the ninth inning after giving up a lead-off double to Rick Ankiel and hitting the next batter. Luckily, he was able to hold off the struggling Astros and record his first save since April 2, but not without the drama Cleveland Indians fans have come to expect when his number is called.
Offensive Inconsistency
While it was expected that the starting pitching would struggle this season, the offensive side of the team seemed to be locked up with the additions of Mark Reynolds, Michael Bourn, Drew Stubbs and Nick Swisher to complement Asdrubal Cabrera, Jason Kipnis, Michael Brantley and Carlos Santana.
The flaw?
Even though Bourn, Swisher and Santana are hitting above a .300 clip, Cabrera and Kipnis aren't even sniffing .200. Also, outfielders Brantley and Stubbs are sitting just above the Mendoza Line.
If the Indians are going to be successful at all this season, they need their power hitters to perform at least near their potential. If they can get that from these players, they will get run support for their pitchers.
It's not rocket science.
Asdrubal Cabrera
Asdrubal Cabrera was lumped in the group on the previous slide because of his bat—or lack thereof. He is getting his own slide because, in addition to his slump at the plate, he has been playing sloppy defense this season as well.
With two errors in the first 17 games of this season, it isn't crazy to think Indians fans might see Cabrera eclipse the 20 mark in errors. Currently, his fielding percentage is sitting at .963.
Eight points lower than all of last season.
After slipping down the dugout steps—you read that right—in Houston, Cabrera is listed as day to day with soreness in his left wrist. Perhaps this is just the rest and re-focus that Cabrera needs to get back on track.
Then again, maybe Terry Francona pushed him.
Injuries were listed as one of the six barriers that would be standing in the way of the Cleveland Indians winning the AL Central. That definitely hasn't changed and maybe has become even more of a problem than initially thought.
Although the injuries could be worse, they are causing problems in the daily lineup. One of the hardest tasks a manager has is to get his lineup to a point where it's running smooth. It becomes really hard on the manager when his everyday players are bouncing back and forth between the lineup and the disabled list.
In addition to Cabrera's sore left wrist and Myers' left forearm injury, Michael Bourn was stepped on last week and required stitches in his finger, landing him on the 15-day disabled list. Catcher Lou Marson has just begun his rehab assignment in Triple-A Columbus after suffering a neck strain in his only start of the season and Jason Kipnis was experiencing soreness in his left elbow and has missed a handful of games.
With versatile players like Mike Aviles, Mark Reynolds, Nick Swisher and an outfield with Drew Stubbs and Michael Brantley, the Indians have been able to put very good players in place of those injured. Although that is a nice luxury to have, it hasn't helped the Indians lineup find their groove.
Although low attendance isn't anything new in Cleveland, it really is one of the bigger flaws. The Indians have struggled to fill their seats and have finished at or near the bottom in attendance every year since 2004. As logic will dictate, there is only one thing that the Indians can do to boost those numbers.
If the Cleveland Indians can figure out a way to improve the starting pitching, invigorate the offense and keep injuries to a minimum, the numbers in both the wins column and attendance will rise.
Simple, right?
If this team comes together and figures out how to win games, the whole dynamic will change in Cleveland. The players feed off the fan emotion and enthusiasm during games and in order to get more fans in the seats, the team needs to win. As long as the team is doing their part, more people will be coming to the park to watch and cheer.
The Indians know what they need to do now. It's only April and there is plenty of baseball left to play. With a little luck and a little faith, the Indians have the right tools to be above .500 by the All-Star break.

Kristen Johnston, two-time Emmy award winning actress, NYT Best Selling Author and Recovery advocate reviews best selling book 'Why you drink and How to stop':
"Veronica Valli has written one of the clearest, most fascinating & truly helpful books on addiction I've ever read.
To me, it's up there with 'Clean' by David Sheff, except from the viewpoint of someone who's in long term recovery.
Whether you're struggling now & need help, have struggled in the past, or you've ever loved an addict, this book pierces through the confusing and terrifying misinformation that surrounds this disease.
From the first page to the last, I was completely enthralled by this brilliantly researched, refreshingly straightforward & delightfully compelling book."
Sober for 15 years Veronica has worked as a therapist and life coach specializing in addiction for over ten years; her experience includes working with young people in the criminal justice system, primary care adult treatment, outreach services and private practice.
As a recovered alcoholic and drug addict, she has personal experience of what it takes to recover from an addiction. Veronica struggled with alcoholism through most of her twenties. As a binge drinker, she was aware for some time that something was wrong but was unable to define what it was; a chance meeting led to her finally getting help and turning her life around.
At the height of her addiction, Veronica was unable to go to work without the aid of a drink; her life and confidence were in tatters. She got sober in 2000 at the age of twenty-seven. She now uses this experience to help and inspire others. She fully believes that all alcoholics and addicts can recover if they have access to the right kind of help, and that they can then go on to live life to the full.
She is committed to educating and informing the public on problem drinking and addiction and has appeared regularly on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire as a specialist guest. She has also appeared on the Lorraine Kelly show on ITV, and an ITV programme entitled The Truth About Binge Drinking; she has also appeared in national magazines and publications, discussing recovery from alcoholism.
Her book: Why you drink and How to stop: journey to freedom' has been peer reviewed and is currently available at Amazon and other on line retailers.
She also runs the successful blog: Veronica Valli Recovery Rocks where she writes about addiction and alcoholism issues.

Matt Savage
Maturity Number 3
Matt Savage is a male celebrity.
He was born on Tuesday May 12th 1992, in Boston, Massachusetts, United States.
In later years Matt Savage will be surrounded by loyal friends and have ample time to explore his creative talents. This is founded on Matthew's earlier years of spending much time bringing his creative talents and ability to bring the best in others to the forefront, and learning to put the color and thrill into his and the lives of those around him.
As Savage matures, he will find himself becoming increasingly extroverted and optimistic about his future. His self-expression and creativity improve markedly. Matt Savage may become inspired to take up some type of artistic endeavor, such as writing, acting, or music, if he is not already involved in one of these areas.
His ability to communicate will substantially improve. Matthew is naturally more fluent and may find himself dressing with a certain flair. He must be careful though not to fall victim to superficial appearances, or chasing after glamour and extravagance.
With a 3 Maturity Number Matthew can look forward to a pleasant and social latter part of life. His attitude will be increasingly positive and his popularity will rise.
If Matt Savage already has several 3s in his chart, especially in his core numbers, he may have a tendency to scatter his energies and take his responsibilities less seriously, but if he has few 3s, Savage will experience a great relief from the tension and seriousness of life, and will be more relaxed and capable of enjoying life.
With the promise of enjoyment, close friendships, and much happiness, Maturity Number 3 is a blessing in the latter part of Matt Savage's life.
You and Matthew
About Matthew's Maturity number
Matt Savage's Maturity number indicates an underlying wish or desire that gradually surfaces around age thirty to thirty-five. This underlying goal begins to emerge as Matthew gains a better understanding of himself.
With self-knowledge comes a greater awareness of who Savage is, what his true goals in life are, and what direction he wants to set for his life.

This effort, and its subsidiary television and videotape marketing tie-ins, has been thoroughly and justifiably attacked by critics of every stripe, and I have no intention of expending another syllable on what is only the most recent of Hollywood's seemingly endless, utterly transparent gestures towards maintaining its global hegemony. However, one point which I have not seen raised thus far in relation to the AFI's feel- good, jingoistic must-see list (with the exception of a piece by Jonathan Rosenbaum in the Chicago Reader) is how a cursory comparison of the United States with other nations serves to expose the relative poverty of state-supported film culture which the AFI feebly represents. An unsystematic, informal survey: -- A major world film festival like Rotterdam mounts a mid-career retrospective of the films of Ernie Gehr, while Sundance obediently lauds the slacker of the month. -- Last week's movie listings on the BBC included a broadcast of Alain Resnais's still- unreleased two-part film Smoking/No Smoking. -- Australia's state-owned Special Broadcasting Service offers viewers 'Eat Carpet', a weekly series of experimental shorts and rarely screened early work by Godard, Fassbinder, Herzog and Egoyan. Meanwhile, PBS, with the occasional exception of a daring documentary on its 'P.O.V.' series, shies away from most topics likely to brush Congress against the grain, and seldom commissions or airs formally adventurous film work.

Only problem is, I can't get it to honour the option in a user's preferences which is $user['show_dob_year'].
Of all the $user parameters that are available to message_user_info (and loads are that I can use), that isn't one of them.
If there's no way of passing that parameter to the template, is there anything else I can do? Is there some sort of function I can write that will check it?
Something so simple is proving incredibly difficult.

PSC rejects staff, sides with FPL to have ratepayers finance fracking projects
Millions of homes and businesses who are customers of Florida Power & Light will be financing as much as $500 million a year in unregulated natural gas fracking projects conducted by the state's largest utility, state regulators decided Thursday.
The Florida Public Service Commission sided with FPL and against consumer advocates and unanimously approved guidelines that give the company carte blanche approval to charge its customers for gas fracking and "wildcatting" activities without oversight from regulators for the next five years.
The decision gives the state largest utility company unprecedented permission to use ratepayer dollars to finance an energy exploration business. According to an analysis by the PSC's staff, FPL will be the first utility in the nation to be allowed to use ratepayer money for an "unregulated risk."
The decision also gives the company a guaranteed new source of revenue that will allow it to increase its rate base for the next several years, in the face of increasing competition from solar and other alternative energy sources.

Greetings from Bury Park : Race. Religion. Rock 'n' Roll Paperback
by Sarfraz Manzoor
Sarfraz Manzoor was two years old when his family emigrated from Pakistan to join his father in Bury Park, Luton.
His teenage years were a constant battle to reconcile being both British and Muslim.
But when his best friend introduced him to Bruce Springsteen, his life changed for ever.
In this affectionate and timely memoir, Manzoor retraces his journey from the frustrations of his childhood to his reaction to the tragedies of 9/11 and 7/7. Original, darkly tender and wryly amusing, this is an inspiring tribute to the power of music to transcend race and religion and a moving account of a relationship between father and son.

The Tampa Bay Lightning are one of the early favorites to represent the Eastern Conference in the 2016-17 Stanley Cup Final and have to be considered a real threat to come away with the ultimate prize. Fresh off back-to-back appearances in the Eastern Conference Final and a berth in the 2014-15 Stanley Cup Final, the team has proven they have what it takes to go deep into the postseason. Add in the fact that Steve Yzerman has done a terrific job keeping the core group of this team together for at least one more kick at the can, and the Lightning appear to have as good a chance as anyone to win it all in 2016-17.
Joe Smith covers the Lightning for the Tampa Bay Times and he was kind enough to answer some questions – including a couple of bonus queries – for Pro Hockey Rumors on the subject of the Lighting.
PHR: Given Pittsburgh's dominating postseason run and the return of its roster mostly intact, is it fair to proclaim the Penguins as the prohibitive favorites in the East? How do the Lightning expect to close the gap between themselves and the Penguins in the battle for Eastern Conference supremacy after not acquiring any impact talent from outside the organization this summer?
SMITH: You have to consider the champion Penguins the favorite until someone beats them. But the gap isn't that big, considering the Lightning came incredibly close to getting past Pittsburgh in the Eastern Conference Final. Not closing the Penguins out in Game 6 at home likely haunted Tampa Bay all offseason. But the Lightning has all the tools to be a Stanley Cup contender, as evidence by its back-to-back playoff runs. With a deep offense led by a healthy Steven Stamkos, freed of any contract distractions, and arguably the top one-two tandem in net with Ben Bishop and Andrei Vasilevskiy, the Lightning should give itself a chance.
PHR: Starting goalie Ben Bishop is scheduled to hit unrestricted free agency following the 2016-17 season. Yzerman has previously shown a willingness to let players play out their deals and risk losing them for nothing if he feels the team is a stronger contender with that player in the lineup. Do you see the Lightning following the same script with Bishop or do you anticipate they look to move him at some point in season to address other needs?
TIMES: Yzerman has said there is the option of keeping Bishop all season for another run at the Stanley Cup. "It's not a bad option," he says. And it's entirely possible the Lightning does just that. It's hard to imagine Tampa Bay having a better chance to win without the two-time Vezina Trophy finalist, the best goalie in franchise history. But I wouldn't rule out Tampa Bay potentially dealing Bishop before the March trade deadline, depending on what the market is. It doesn't hurt the Lightning to at least see what is out there as opposed to losing Bishop to Las Vegas (or another team as a UFA) for nothing.
PHR: Given Vasilevskiy's strong postseason play and the recent contract extension he was rewarded with, it's evident the Lightning are projecting him to be the goaltender of the future. However, what are the odds he displaces Bishop between the pipes this season, regardless of whether or not Bishop is dealt?
TIMES: It does appear Vasilevskiy is the future No. 1, it's just a matter of when. The fact Vasilevskiy was signed to a three-year, $3.5 million (AAV) extension in July, putting him under contract for four more years, makes him a more affordable option than Bishop, who makes $5.9 million in the final year of his. The only way Vasilevskiy replaces Bishop this season is if Bishop is traded before the March deadline. Now, Vasilevskiy is slotted to get a larger share of starts than last season, potentially 30-plus, so he'll push Bishop. But barring a significant drop in Bishop's play, he's still the No. 1.
PHR: The Lightning have three more key contributors set to become RFAs next season – Jonathan Drouin, Ondrej Palat and Tyler Johnson; are you aware of any attempts by Yzerman to strike early and get a deal or deals done in advance of next summer? Also, with $55MM already committed to next year's salary cap and just 13 players under contract, is there any worry within the organization that they will have to sacrifice valuable assets in order to move out enough salary to retain those RFAs and flesh out the roster?
TIMES: Haven't heard of any significant contract talks with those players yet, but it's still early. Yzerman first had to wrap up last summer's contracts, including signing Nikita Kucherov just two days before the opener. While Yzerman has done a great job keeping the core together, he's said that it's impossible to keep everyone with the salary cap. That's why it'll be such a challenge next summer with Johnson, Drouin and Palat all needing new deals, and likely big raises. The Lightning might gain some flexibility if it ends up trading Bishop, or depending on what player it loses in the expansion draft. Veterans like Valtteri Filppula and Jason Garrison are potential trade candidates if Tampa Bay must clear some room.
PHR: Speaking of Drouin, it was an interesting year for the young winger, to say the least. Now that he has withdrawn his trade request and seems content in Tampa, what are your expectations for the former third overall draft pick? He only has eight career NHL goals in 91 regular season games but tallied five in 17 playoff contests this past spring. Will he build upon that and potentially reach or even exceed the 20-goal, 50-point plateau?
TIMES: Would not be surprised if Drouin has a huge year. I'm talking 60-70 points type of season. He seems to have picked up where he left off in a dynamic postseason, and is bound for some big numbers playing on a line with Steven Stamkos. A turning point for Drouin was a breakfast he had with coach Jon Cooper in early April after returning from AHL Syracuse. The two cleared the air, and Drouin is playing like a young star who has the trust and confidence from his head coach. He has more of a shoot-first mentality now, and as a quarterback on one of the power play units, he'll have plenty of chances to put up points.
PHR: Any sleepers or relative unknowns on the Lightning you think may have a big impact this season?
TIMES: You can start with rookie forward Brayden Point. The 20-year-old prospect surprised many by making the opening night roster, taking advantage of open spots vacated by Ryan Callahan (hip surgery) and Nikita Kucherov (contract holdout). Point earned it with his play in exhibitions, and has fit right in early on this season, racking up his first NHL point in a win over New Jersey.
PHR: Finally, aside from Pittsburgh, which teams in the East represent the biggest obstacles to Tampa?
TIMES: The Panthers, which finished ahead of the Lightning in the Atlantic Division last season, should be a threat again. And you'd think Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals are due to break through its postseason struggles.
Pro Hockey Rumors would like to extend our thanks and gratitude to Joe Smith for taking the time to answer these questions for us. You can find Smith's bio here and for everything related to the Tampa Bay Lightning, you can follow him on Twitter here.

And this was no ordinary building. It was, in fact, Q1 (meaning Queensland Number One), which is the tallest residential tower in the world. At 322.5 meters (1,058 feet including spire) and with a roof height of 275 meters (902 ft), it has 78 storeys.
Akshay's 156-storey hike was so motivational for the unit that actress Neha Dhupia took up the challenge and followed in his footsteps (literally!)
When asked to confirm the news, she laughs, "Yes, it's true! When Akshay started, I knew I had to do as well! It was a mind over matter situation for me. And since Singh Is Kinng is about positive attitude, I gave it a shot and was extremely impressed with myself. I did it in less than 30 minutes without cheating!" She adds, "After the hike, I was dead to the world though. I'd return to my room and crash!"
Shortly after Neha, it became a practice for some of the other unit members to climb up and down as well. Neha smiles, "Everyone was like, if a girl can do it, why can't we?!"
Looks like this is only a sampler of the action which this keenly anticipated film is likely to bring our way!

This guy and I had sex twice. I want to keep seeing him but because I just ended a terrible relationship I'm not too ready to begin another, but I want sex because well... It feels good... ! I met this guy. I don't know what he views us as. We have had sex twice and haven't done much else besides hanging out. I basically just contact him when I want to have sex, and apparently that "cheapens" me? I don't get it. I'm just trying to get some pleasure, and I thought he would like it as well. He's not seeing anyone else; I'm not... Like so what? Or am I coming off as desperate and tacky? I know I'm gorgeous and can get any dude I want. I just don't want to have 100 sex partners. I like having the same guy... But like I said, apparently that makes me easy and cheap to him because I'm asking him for sex and nothing else, and I contact him whenever I want that D.
If a girl keeps continuous contact with a guy & wants to have sex regularly without any strings attached, is that seen as cheap and desperate?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 2
You should read articles on sex positive thinking. It might enlighten you and/or help you out. My only advice is be honest about what you want and try to avoid leading him on. Try not to make assumptions about what he wants/how he feels. It might make you feel like crap if you unintentionally lead him on and have to deal with the aftermath. Otherwise it's your body (be safe), your life (enjoy it as you see fit so long as you try not to hurt others in the process), and your choice.11|00|0
Well, correct me if my assumptions are wrong, but he only texts me when he wants to see me... And when we are together he doesn't really try to do anything else or persuade me to do anything but sex. I iniated the last time.. he isn't trying to text me and get to know me.. Isn't that a clear sign we are both wanting the same?
I'd say that's a pretty good indication of that. I've been in such a casual relationship that ended with me meeting and dating someone else. I was honest with both parties and had to end the casual (of course) and there was even a month between that and the last time we had sex. She began to text me that she had feelings she didn't know she was aware of. The problem is that I did not clearly communicate that I was only interested in something casual with her since neither of us were relationship material to each other. That ended up hurting her and I still regret it. I would advise clearing the air if you think you can do it comfortably. If it's just sex for him, then he should be right on board. If he is bothered by it, then there's something more there.
No not cheap but a booty call basically , I would love that at this point in my life11|00|0
Isn't he my booty call too though?
& honestly I don't want anything else other than this hahah. Maybe you can find someone else who does too
Yeah he is too😊 Seems like you have something good going on for now, and like to have that too for now, don't need the drama

Barcelona is getting outclassed by a Paris Saint-Germain outfit that has been condemned more than lauded this term, with ex-Real Madrid man Angel Di Maria helping himself to a sensational double in Tuesday's Champions League tie.
His first, a beautiful free-kick, was followed by Julian Draxler lashing home after some superb pressing from PSG. His second on 55 minutes was arguably the best, as he finished off a superb team move after beating Andres Iniesta in a dance-off.

Thread: What would you charge?
What would you charge?
I was recently contacted by a company with a request to assist pricing some clocks in various, unknown working condition being sold as-is at an upcoming estate sale.
What would you charge for that service.. hourly rate? There are a large number of clocks (over 100). Any problem providing that service for a fee?
Hope the question is allowed here.
Thanks in advance.
Re: What would you charge? (By: MikeBY)
A flat fee or a percentage of sales seems logical - your preference. Bear in mind that the selling price of clocks is flat right now, and there will be a desire to price them higher than is likely to be received. With that many clocks I would recommend an auction.A man with a clock always knows the time. A man with two clocks is never sure.

Re: What would you charge? (By: shutterbug)
I would charge a flat fee per clock to provide date, manufacturer, price. The auction house is going to charge what they think is a good price and add buyers fees etc , so don't be shy.

Re: What would you charge? (By: MikeBY)
I would insist on looking at the clocks to see if they can be identified at all....wouldn't want to tell them that I can give them manufacturer, rough date period, price, etc.
Then I would tell them what I would charge....I wouldn't charge a % of sales....either fixed price and if there is a good clock in there I might barter for the clock in lieu of payment....you never know.
Re: What would you charge? (By: Dick C)
Thanks for the input and advice.
I've known this estate sale person for some while, and offered my services to him on occasion related to specific issues. After my post I had a further discussion, and we agreed on an hourly rate because this wasn't strictly an identify and appraise. He needed someone to dig through a lot of storage and triage what was being found because it was a very disorganized situation with a lot of "projects" and incomplete clocks.
So, for the treasure hunt, (which after 4 hours I will continue tomorrow), it seemed most fair to just pay for my time as somewhat knowledgeable hands and eyes to separate sellable clocks from parts and "projects" that appear to have most of the components there, and to flag anything of unusual value. He's always been fair with me and to his clients. I wouldn't work with him otherwise.
I do like the suggestions here that a flat rate per clock or % basis for identification, condition and market estimate is a good way to go. Since I don't do appraisals normally (in fact I avoid them), I'm not sure I would be comfortable or have all the necessary resources to do it formally for a large number of clocks, particularly if they were in higher value ranges.
This house.. Mostly early-mid 20th century, a few late 1890s and way too many from the black forest with birds that are missing pendulum and weights. Lots of projects and parts
