text: EuropeSaudi prince jailed for life in UK Al-Saud handed a minimum sentence of 20 years after being convicted of murdering his male servant in London. 20 Oct 2010 11:24 GMT | Europe, Saudi Arabia, United Kingdom Saud Abdulaziz bin Nasser al Saud tried to claim diplomatic immunity after his arrest [REUTERS/Metropolitan Police] A Saudi prince has been jailed for life by a British court after he was found guilty of murdering his male servant in a brutal attack at a London hotel. Saud Abdulaziz bin Nasser al-Saud, the grandson of Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah, was ordered to serve a minimum of 20 years in prison by a judge at London's Central Criminal court on Wednesday."It is very unusual for a prince to be in the dock on a murder charge. No one in this country is above the law," David Bean, the judge, told Saud as he handed down the sentence."It would be wrong for me to sentence you either more severely or more leniently because of your membership of the Saudi royal family," he added.On Tuesday the court convicted 34-year-old al Saud of beating and strangling Bandar Abdullah Abdulaziz to death at London's Landmark hotel in February this year.'Sexual element'The prosecution had argued that the 32-year-old was murdered following a lengthy campaign of violence against him. Jonathan Laidlaw, the prosecutor, said the prince had abused his aide in the past, showing jurors a video shot in the Landmark's elevator which appears to show the prince battering the man. He added that photographs of Abdulaziz stored on a mobile phone "plainly proved" that there was a "sexual element" to the abuse."Beneath the surface this was a deeply abusive relationship which the defendant exploited, as the assaults in the lift so graphically demonstrate, for sadistic reasons, for his own personal gratification," Laidlaw told the court. Abdulaziz was found to have suffered bleeding in the brain, a fractured larynx and bruising in the abdomen. Pathologists said the extent of injuries meant they could not say for certain what caused his death. The jury had heard that the prince bit his victim hard on both cheeks during his murderous attack at their suite. The suggestion of a sexual element in the murder could mean al Saud faces the possibility of execution if he returns to Saudi Arabia, where being gay is a capital offence. Al-Saud had attempted to claim diplomatic immunity when he was first arrested earlier this year.Source: Agencies

A recent survey has indicated that roughly 80% of all consumers in the US are now gamers, which has been attributed to the increase in smartphone ownership.
Despite the fact that the survey was conducted in the US, a similar situation may also be present in the UK.
According to PlaySpan and Magid's online survey in December 2012, 35% of respondents stated that consoles were their preferred platform for gaming, which was closely followed by 34% of respondents who said that smartphones were their preferred gaming platform. The remaining 31% was taken up by tablets, computers, and dedicated handheld consoles.
These figures aren't surprising, given that smartphones are becoming more and more advanced with each new release, meaning the quality of games available for them is beginning to rival the gaming experience offered by the latest games console.
However, as the gap between consoles and smartphones continues to narrow, so does the price.
A flagship smartphone, such as the Samsung Galaxy S4 or BlackBerry Z10, will cost anywhere between £450 and £700 depending on hardware choices, whereas the PS4 is rumoured to cost around £400 when it is released in 2014.
IHS Screen Digest, a reputed UK gaming industry analyst, believes that nearly £300million will be spent in the UK this year on mobile games alone; a figure that is up from just £100m three years ago.
However, this figure is still drastically less than the amount expected to be spent on console games, which is thought to be around £743million, but the gap between consoles and smartphones is certainly narrowing.
These figures are somewhat skewed though, as the respective costs associated with the console market, such as hardware, accessories and games, somewhat dwarves that of the mobile markets.
To illustrate, most console games retail for at least £40, whereas as previously mentioned, you will very rarely pay more than £5 for a mobile game, meaning you have access to a huge range of immersive mobile games without the need for a huge bank balance.
The same can also be said of peripherals, most console accessories and peripherals are eye-wateringly expensive (PlayStation memory and SD cards anyone?), whereas if you owned the latest smartphone, such as the HTC One, you could get a protective case, cover and a range of other useful mobile accessories for less than £20 altogether.
It is undeniable that over the last few years, the mobile gaming world has exploded, primarily due to the dramatic rise in free-to-play games and cheap apps on smartphones, which suggests that people may be giving less attention to consoles.
This fact can also be seen in the general derision that greeted the announcement of the PlayStation 4, and the fact that the success of mobile gaming is already having an impact on consoles.
To illustrate, the control pad for Nintendo's Wii U console has a video screen which works independently of the main console unit, and the PlayStation 4 will allow gamers to use their smartphones a 'second screen', which suggests that the console giants are aiming to muscle-in on the mobile gaming trend.
Conversely, mobile gaming is attempting to encroach on the console market; at the 2013 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, mobile firms were keen to show off how their phones and tablets could connect to modern televisions, which could mean that gamers could soon be able to play a game on their smartphone, whilst beaming the sound and graphics wirelessly to the TV.
Although mobile gaming looks set to continue its meteoric rise, with Microsoft set to announce their next console at E3 2013, as well as Sony's already announced PS4, it doesn't appear that the console is going anywhere yet.

American actor and standup TV comedian, known for co-starring in the TV series "Chico and the Man." His hit show premiered in September 1974 and quickly rose to one of the top ten programs, a heady overnight success, primarily through Prinze's performance. The difficult schedule of the show, however, drove Prinze to reinforce himself with an assortment of drugs and alcohol.
Raised in New York's Washington Heights ghetto, Freddie was the second child of Karl and Maria Pruetzel who had lost a daughter, Alice, in a swimming pool drowning prior to Freddie's birth. Freddie learned to entertain early. Regarded as an outsider in his predominantly Spanish neighborhood, because his Hungarian descent made him look white, he got attention with jokes and impressions. In the process, he enjoyed having an audience. His parents enrolled him in the High School of Performing Arts, and while he enjoyed it thoroughly, he found relief from the pressure through drugs.
By age 17, he had won local recognition for his performances in amateur productions of "West Side Story" and "Bye Bye Birdie." He then began developing comedy routines, and, after changing his last name to the more theatrical "Prinze", began trying them out in local clubs. He earned bookings, and was caught at one by a TV talent scout who asked the 19-year-old to appear on "The Jack Paar Show." He was a big success and was invited in December 1973 to do the "Tonight Show." Seen by producer James Komack, Prinze was asked to test for a TV series, "Chico and the Man" and won out over five seasoned actors.
Prinze married Katherine Elaine Cochran, a travel agent, in October 1975 and they had a son, Fred James Prinze the following March. His drug problem became more severe, and in the fall of 1976, Kathy Prinze petitioned for divorce.
Attempting to straighten out, he gave up drugs, took up karate as a tension outlet, saw a therapist, and threw himself into work, doing "Chico and the Man" by day and performing at Caesar's Palace each night.
However his drug use and peculiar behavior took its toll, and in the early morning hours of 1/29/1977, while on Quaaludes Prinze put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. His manager, Martin Snyder, was present. (He died some 37 hours later, on 1/30/1977, and was buried on 1/31/1977.) In January 1983, a superior court judge finally decreed that Prinze had not intended to take his life, which meant that two life insurance policies were valid.

That was in 1973 when we were both 19, and yes, talking astrology! He looked like he had Leo Rising. Big head, tall, a mane, etc.")

Rincon/University's Brianna Leverenz and Catalina Foothills' Krista Duffield might compete in opposite divisions, but the two had something in common Saturday at the High School Classic.
Both won a pair of individual titles at Hillenbrand Aquatic Center in one of the biggest meets of the year, which featured 998 swimmers and divers from 44 schools around Arizona.
Foothills swept the team titles but Rincon finished second on the girls side and Leverenz, the younger sister of Olympic medalist Caitlin Leverenz, may have been the star of the day.
The junior won the 200-yard free in 1 minute 55.94 seconds and edged Ironwood Ridge's Madeline Bolin to win the 100 free in 58.77. Leverenz also anchored the 200 medley and 200 free relay teams which both finished second.
"I'm not especially a sprinter so doing the 100 was a little different for me but I really enjoyed it," said Leverenz, who won the girls 500 free at the Brophy Xavier Invitational last weekend.
Duffield, a senior, entered the meet with the best time in both the 50 free and 100 fly so it was no surprise when she won both in 24.38 and 58.77, respectively.
"I was really happy with my butterfly because normally I go out too fast and I tend to die but I think I paced it better that normal," said Duffield, who also anchored the Falcons to a win in the 200 free relay.
On the boys side, Walden Grove senior Trey Cashion had another record-setting performance. He beat club teammate and Foothills junior Matt Lujan in the 100 backstroke, besting the five-year-old meet record by .57.
"I went a lot faster than I thought I would," said Cashion, who also finished second in the 100 free. "We knew what the record was but we just wanted to race each other and have fun."
Lujan had won the 200 IM earlier Saturday in 2:02.45.
Among the other local winners was Salpointe Catholic's Natalie Ward, who took first in the 500 free in 5:13.98, and Tucson High freshman Delaney Schnell, who scored a 422.50 in diving.
Also, I-Ridge's Bolin won the girls 100 backstroke in 1:00.21, Foothills' Bonnie Diamond won the 200 IM (2:13.69) and Rincon freshman Elenora Bailey won the 100 breaststroke in 1:15.16.

Palm Desert PRP Facial, The Vampire Facial
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Facial procedure is an innovative approach to facial rejuvenation that can reap many of the benefits of a facelift—without the surgery
PRP facials have commonly been referred to as Vampire Facials because of this non-surgical cosmetic procedure involving the reinjection of a gel-like substance—platelet rich fibrin matrix (PRFM)—derived from the patient's own blood back into multiple areas of the skin of their face in an effort to treat wrinkles and "rejuvenate"
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP, "Vampire Facial")has been used in facial rejuvenation around the world since 2006. The treatment is ideal for individuals looking for gradual but noticeable improvement in skin texture, tone, and color with minimal or no recovery time. This revolutionary, natural procedure offers incredible skin rejuvenation. Platelets in your blood contain numerous Platelet Derived Growth Factors (PDGF). These growth factors stimulate proliferation of fibroblasts and keratinocytes, which produce collagen and keratin. PDGF have a significant role in blood vessel formation, the cellular division of fibroblasts (the most common cells in connective tissue), and in synthesizing collagen and the extracellular matrix, including hyaluronic acid. Collagen production has been attributed to helping correct the visible effects of wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid has been shown to increase skin tone and volume providing a more youthful appearance.
This procedure is not a surgical face lift nor does it create the same effect as a face lift. The procedure helps restore or enhance areas, which require volume. Improvement of skin texture and tone can be noticeable within two weeks and improvement continues for the next 8 months as more collagen and keratin is laid under the skin. The results typically last 2 years or longer. Areas of treatment include cheeks and mid-face, wrinkling around the eyes, smile lines, nasolabial fold, neck and jawline, chest, acne scarring, hands, stretch marks, and more. The process takes between 45-90 minutes, depending on complexity. For the best result, we recommend three to six treatments, 4-6 weeks apart however, this may vary.
What happens during a facial rejuvenation treatment with PRP?
The practitioner will assess the degree of skin aging, perform a simple skin analysis, and recommend a sensible treatment with a reasonable outcome. After your skin is cleansed and prepared, local anesthetic cream is applied. Blood is then taken from your arm and processed. For treating the entire face, PRP is injected via a syringe and applied to the skin with a MicroPen. For treating specific areas such as around the eyes and laugh lines, PRP is carefully injected to the target area.
Is the procedure painful?
Numbing cream is applied to the face 45 minutes before the procedure, making the treatment very comfortable. Most patients do not feel much sensation.
How long is the recovery time?
Typically, there is little to no downtime associated with the treatment. Some redness of the treated area may last a day after treatment. Minor bruising may occur, but clears up in about a week and can be concealed with cosmetics. Normal activity can be resumed immediately, but your face should be protected from the sun.
How long is the treatment?
On the treatment day, the entire visit lasts about 2 hours. The actual procedure requires about 20 minutes.
Is it safe?
PRP treatment is extremely safe. Because PRP is produced from your own blood, there is no risk of an allergic reaction. In addition, PRP contains concentrated amount of white blood cells, your natural defenders against infections. As a result, infection is extremely rare with our PRP treatment.
Are there any contraindications?
Persons with active skin infections, acne, skin disease (SLE, porphyria, allergies), cancer, chemotherapy, severe metabolic and systemic disorders, abnormal platelet function (i.e. blood disorders), and underlying sepsis excludes the use of PRP.
Is PRP therapy covered by insurance?
As PRP Skin Rejuvenation is a cosmetic procedure, it is not covered by health insurance.
How much does PRP therapy cost?
An entire facial rejuvenation treatment costs $600. For smaller areas the treatment cost is less (around the eyes, for example costs $450). Treatment packages are also available with reduced rates.
How many treatments are needed?
Initially, 3 to 6 treatments 4-6 weeks apart are recommended for optimal results. Thereafter, maintenance treatments are recommended every one to two years depending on skin type.

One of the best.Lancome and Clarins are two of the best in this product line. Like the gel, non-greasy and easy to use. It is just hard to swallow the price of such a small bottle, when Jergens has a great product for a whole lot less! But if you got it spend it!

Great streak free tan!We're heading into fall and if you'd like to preserve some of your summer glow (faux glow, I'm hoping!) check out Lancome's Flash Bronzer "Glow n' Wearâ€.

No more wait...read moreing around the house half-nekkid while your sunless tanner dries. The Flash Bronzer gives you the instant gratification of a bronzer while building up a sunless tan gradually. It's packaged in a convenient pump dispenser which kept it from leaking all over my bathroom floor or cabinets. The formula itself is a gel. It does contain alcohol (which helps with the speedy drying time) so you may want to moisturize a few hours afterwards, but I didn't feel it was an urgent necessity (meaning my legs weren't itching and screaming for lotion).

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
Hi RBW
Together wit my dive buddies, later this year we are planning for a some deep freshwater dives (100m/300ft).
For my BO cylinders I am using Scubapro MK17 with 250V 2. stages and love them. My dive buddy is considering buying new regs for his BO cylinders as the ones he uses now are causing him a little trouble lately, he is also looking in the Scubapro direction.
He is looking at a MK25/250V combo, but I am not agreeing on this as this is a piston reg. In my book this is more likely to freeze up, especially on fresh water and in a stress full situation with high RMV.
Are my worries unnecessary?
Please don't plaster this thread with other suggestions like Apeks, Mares and other brands, I am only looking for comments on the above.

Josh Marlin pitched five shutout innings, then moved to shortstop and helped preserve the win with his glovework, as Elk River Legion tipped Zimmerman 3-1 on Monday evening,
Elk River (3-3) turned three double plays in the victory.
"We have a team that can play some defense," noted coach Tony Williams.
Marlin took a five-hit shutout into the top of the sixth when two walks and a single by Kyle Connelly loaded the bases with none out.
Sam Krick relieved, facing cleanup hitter Kam Crandall. He got Crandall to hit a grounder to the left of second baseman Tyler Brant, who made a nice stop in the hole and a perfect throw to Marlin at shortstop. Marlin made the pivot and fired to first baseman Aaron Pipenhagen to completed the DP with one run scoring.
In the seventh, Marlin made an over-the-shoulder catch of a pop-up into shallow center, and snagged a grounder behind second to throw out the final batter in a close play.
Krick got the save with two hitless innings.
Connelly pitched the distance for Zimmerman (1-4), allowing eighth hits.
Krick hit a triple in the second and scored on Logan Paige's sacrifice fly, and Matt Williams made it 3-0 in the third period with a two-run double in the gap.
Tucker Morrell was 2-for-3 for Elk River and Connelly was 2-for-3 for Zimmerman.,
Elk River will play at St. Augusta on Tuesday evening.

We are thankful for all our team members you'll find in the back of our kitchen and working alongside our chefs as apprentices. They take care of all the details in their own way and make each event at Kitchen on Fire possible.
Community Outreach
Kitchen on Fire has a heart and soul that reaches far beyond its kitchen doors. Giving back to our community fuels our vitality and best of all, giving back is always in season. A passion for providing culinary and nutritional education, regardless of social situations, drives us to reach out to those most in need. Though we host educational, culinary adventures at our Berkeley based kitchens, you'll also find us in the community teaching those less fortunate how to feed themselves, their families, and even forge a culinary career.
Chef Olive with Kitchen on Fire has been part of the Kitchen of Champion Program since its creation in 2007.
As part of their training the candidates are feeding more than 700 people a day, most of these people are homeless.
See pictures here.
Kitchen on Fire recently helped train 60 chefs from the Oakland Unified District to conduct cooks training at KoF kitchen.
This past August our cooks and managers attended a training at Kitchen on Fire in West Berkeley.
Chefs Olive and Rick Beeman conducted hands-on lessons on knife and kitchen skills as our staff were introduced to new California Thursdays recipes developed with the help of the Center of Ecoliteracy.
Watch for these new recipes – oven-baked chicken, pasta Bolognese, grilled cheese, and Jambalaya coming soon on Thursdays. California sourced, California prepared! Many thanks to Kitchen on Fire for the kind donation of your facilities and time to OUSD and thank you to Center for Ecoliteracy for the great photos! Photo Credit CEL.

Feeding the 5000 in Oakland
It turns out that there is such a thing as a "free lunch". On Saturday, October 18th Oakland residents convened in Frank Ogawa Plaza to feast on vegetable soup, smoothies, and bread for free as part of an event called Feeding the 5,000. Organized primarily by EndFoodWaste.org, with help from Feedback – a non profit organization whose aim is to end food waste and hunger – the event was the first of its kind in the United States and not only fed attendees but inspired everyone to think differently about food.
"A third of the world's food is wasted, which is an environmental and social disaster," said Tristram Stuart, founder of Feedback. That's why organizers and volunteers worked tirelessly to rescue perfectly acceptable food that would have otherwise been destined for trash cans or compost bins.
For this event, 2,000 pounds of sweet potatoes, carrots and onions, and 1,000 pounds of fruit were salvaged from farms in the San Joaquin Delta and Salinas Valley, as well as from wholesalers and distributors in San Francisco and Alameda Counties. In addition to the lunch, over 9,000 pounds of produce, also rescued, were given out for free during the event!
Check the Zero Chef's website link for that event here.
One of our adventures took us out to Contra Costa's ARC facility with Lisa Miller and Chef Olive.
This organization does an amazing job of helping those with developmental disabilities. We had an opportunity to start their day off right with a healthy breakfast cooking demonstration. Check out this cool video from the day –
Cooking Matters is another one of the life changing outreach programs with which Kitchen on Fire partners. Cooking Matters educates low income families on the mechanics of shopping and preparing healthy, nutritious, budget friendly meals. We steer families away from the supermarket's processed food aisles and help them navigate the colorful and bountiful options available when shopping for real food. By introducing them to the health benefits, budget savings, and delicious nature of whole foods, we can help change the destinies of those possibly facing a lifetime of health issues caused by poor diet. Kitchen on Fire loves helping Cooking Matters with such an important mission. Click here to find out more about our friends at Cooking Matters.
Our customers continued support of Kitchen on Fire goes a long way. We thank you for contributing your culinary dollars to our school, and making it up possible to continually change our customers' lives as well those less fortunate in our community.

The importance of controlling relationships
Karen Cummings & Pamela Blythe
(970) 778-2356
Design Directions
High exists because of low. Large exists because of small. Each exists in comparative relationship to the other and the contrast is called scale. Scale, proportion, and balance influence our design decisions in significant ways and are the principles upon which skillful solutions are founded.
A 12-foot high ceiling may seem tall and awkward in contrast to a 6'8" standard residential door, but an increase to an oversized 8-foot-tall door reduces the size difference and voila! The ceiling height is suddenly perfect because the two objects are now in relative proportion to each other.
Now, put a 2" wide door frame around that oversized door and you're right back to an awkward relationship. The better solution would be a 4" wide frame to make the relationship between the door and frame size work and feel more comfortable.
Proportion is the relationship of size and scale of elements in a design within a context. Spaces intended to impress are usually sized to a scale that dwarfs the human occupants, as seen in most European cathedrals.
The proportions of your home should be in scale with human measure. The result will be a friendly, comfortable, and less intimidating surrounding.
Scale in surface pattern is also important. The stools in the photo above have an appropriate amount of pattern when seen in relationship to the lack of pattern in the rest of the room. And that leads us to a discussion about balance.
Formal balance in a room gives the appearance of having equal weight and creates a visual stability. An information balance involves a design in which the visual weight of the room is unequal. In both examples, it is the relationship of objects that cause the formal vs. informal reaction.
The way in which the principles of scale, proportion, and balance are applied in architecture or interior design can convey very different messages about you, about your lifestyle, and even about your relationships.
Unless you're building from the ground up, you might not be able to control the size/shape of your home or the rooms within. But you can definitely control these principles. Let us know if we can help.

I've been making the argument now for more than two years that the TSA Full Body Imaging Scanners raise privacy concerns when it comes to the 4th Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure by the government.
On Saturday, I wrote here that TSA counterparts in Europe printed full body scanner images and circulated them to airport staff.
Do you want to be seen naked by a total stranger? Do you want your children to be seen naked by a TSA agent?
The word "Disgusting" isn't nearly strong enough.

Unfortunately this comes as no surprise to anyone that has paid attention to the NBA the last several years. Greg Oden, just two days after having his first five-on-five practice with the Miami Heat, already has to sit with swelling in his left knee. Hopefully this is a minor setback and Oden can continue his comeback with the Heat.
This comes on the heels of blocking LeBron James' shot during his first practice. The Heat staff acknowledges that there will be setbacks with Oden, thus they have been taking it slowly and not setting a timetable for the former Ohio State center. For the sake of Oden, hopefully the swelling goes down and he can get back on the court. Unfortunately, history tells us this may be the start of another injury plagued trend for the former overall first round pick.
Via ESPN/Miami Index:
Oden missing practice comes two days after he had his first 5-on-5 workout since starting his comeback attempt with the Heat. His highlight Monday was blocking a shot by LeBron James.
"This has been three years for me, as long as it's no surgery, it's OK," said Oden, who last played in an NBA game in 2009. "This is going to be a long season, I'm going to get there."
"I was hoping it didn't (swell up) but it did, but what can I do about it?" Oden said. "Next thing to do is get (the swelling) back down and get out there and figure out what I can do to not let it swell again."

I feel sorry for him, being hounded by paparazzi. He looked tired and worn out. I just shook his hand and told him I enjoy his movies. I didn't want to bother him for an autograph or picture.

Italian Luxury – Introducing Tonino Lamborghini
Elevator pitch
Tonino Lamborghini is the name behind the luxury brand and man, better known as the son of Ferruccio who introduced the family's last name to the car loving world. Tonino Lamborghini is about luxury accessories and design products from golf items to eyewear and coffee. Now, Italian Luxury introduces this brand and these high-end products to the Nordics.
Investor proposal
We have seen the strengths of Tonino Lamborghini brand globally. Now, we are confident in our Nordic business model and ready to execute the business plan for growth. As an investor you will come a part of success with solid business features:
- A strong brand with a history
- A strong marketing advantage
- Minimum investment €500
- Est. revenue growth 290% YoY
- High quality partners
- A profitable business, high margin products only
- Tonino Lamborghini brand license is represented by Italian Luxury
The problem this product solves
There is a lack of high quality products other than cars that represent the innovatively luxurious spirit of Italian lifestyle people want to draw into. The vision of Tonino Lamborghini Group and Italian Luxury is to bring the passion of Italy to the Scandinavian market with unique and distinctive products inspired by the world of Italian arts and industrial design with five values: innovation, Italian, legendary, strong and timeless. Together with the renowned "Racing Bull" brand these products are of the utmost interest.
How the product solves it
One could think Tonino Lamborghini as a windfall of a super-brand. Making sure the Racing Bull is the quality symbol for accessories as well, Tonino Lamborghini Group has reaped rewards of a strategic process begun in 2009, with new projects dedicated to the most exclusive and luxury markets and aimed to emphasize the essence of the brand: Italian genius with an uncompromising spirit. In Scandinavian market communications play a strong role with strong digital presence. Tonino Lamborghini will spread the word in right context to right people to make sure awareness of the brand will raise to a next level.
Product features
Product features Tonino Lamborghini will introduce a range of top quality products from coffee to watches. We have chosen four categories where we see Tonino Lamborghini products tremendous possibilities: Horeca (Hotel/Restaurant/Café), Golf, Eyewear, Watches. Within these areas the main strategy will be to create and sell Tonino Lamborghini lifestyle thinking and culture around the brand itself to get the full synergistic effect and cross-sale.
Product use cases
Tonino Lamborghini's product family is suitable to those who appreciate innovative creativity of Italian design with powerful tones. As a strong brand it needs to be seen in intensive occasions: events of all kind, red carpet happenings and receptions of high standards, possibly surrounded with celebrities. Such logical environments would be Golf tournaments and competitions as well.
Target Market
Tonino Lamborghini is much about the brand and the awareness of luxurious accessories around it. The brand values are based on experience and passion of Tonino Lamborghini: to create great products with the Racing Bull brand. And people who choose the Bull – and one always chooses – will love these products. Definitely the Tonino Lamborghini is manly series of products. More likely the very client will be male of his 30s and 40s.
Competitive landscape
There is a huge market with all kinds of nice accessory products, even with great quality what comes to materials and design. There is no news to wear Tonino Lamborghini eyewear, drink coffee or to check up time from your newest Tonino Lamborghini timepiece. No. But it is the story what counts.
Unique differentiator from competitors
Now, more than ever, people love strong stories, like Tonino Lamborghini with the Racing Bull. But there are some few more features as well: High valued brand, social climber status, luxury feeling of the products, exclusive quality/co-branding and service.
Business Model
Company revenue streams
Italian Luxury has a great advantage from the strong brand. Revenue comes from three angles:
- Cross-promotions: buying a product, automatically promoting for another company's product
- After-sales: All clients will receive a personal invitation to all red carpet events and parties that will include direct and indirect sales through all channels starting with webmail, web offers and invitation-only to local agents.
- Rent-a-bag: Renting is a growing trend, so golf stores at the golf courses to lease multiple bags, so they can rent out to golfers. The solution can also be extended for services like corporate golfing packages.
Product/service distribution
Distribution happens via sales partners: external agents who support our sales division with their own sale channels or with their salesforce.
- Retailer/reseller: line of retail stores around Scandinavia.
- Internal sales via web shop: Italianluxury.se/.dk/.fi/.no/.Is
- External Sales (web): ex Uret.se, mywatch etc.
- Shop-in-shops: Create a "Lamborghini Corner" in golf stores, sport stores, luxury men's shops. Coffee shops in top located restaurants, bars, cafés to get the full synergy sale.
- Franchise: In the biggest cities in the beginning, then to the major cities in Scandinavia/Nordics.
Previous milestones/traction
- Hot beverages: Signing up with totally 10 restaurants and cafés in Norway and Sweden
- Golf: Signing up with Svenska Golf Förbundet and Dansk Golf Union
- Cold beverages: Attended on We love the 80's in Oslo in may as host
- Watches: Signing up with mywatch.nu and uret.se
Next key objectives
The company has set up a plan to reach out to as many as possible through red carpet evenings, dressing up celebrities, creating competitions, find and create resellers, franchisees and own sales channels.
Previous Financing
The founder of this company made a private investment of 54 000 € in the beginning of 2016.
Italian Luxury has currently two cooperations in the golf sales areas and has made good progress whilst on their way when it comes to easily tie up large players in the golf business. Sales to the golf business has gone through Svenska Golfförbundet and the Danish Golf Union where cooperation is to market the Tonino Lamborghini and to join new clubs to become a customer by the rent-a-bag concept and additional sales through shop-in-shops.
Industry Recognition
Industry Certification/Awards
As a newcomer we haven't won or participated in any awards so far.
Use of Funds
Our focus is to increase The Tonino Lamborghini brand awareness and services through a rapid expansion and monetize on our growth in order to always be cash flow profitable. Key elements:
- Speeding up the awareness of Tonino Lamborghini through digital media environment
- Marketing (happenings, events, competitions)
- Recruit more employees
- Content production with celebrities

Group Exercise
Yoga Legacy is happy to announce new dates for the Yoga Legacy Teacher Training Program in 2016
This training is for those wishing to deepen their own practice or become Yoga Instructors themselves.The program is designed to make it easy to fit into your schedule. Training is held on weekends. Module 1, Yoga Basics, is the first weekend of training and required before moving on to other Modules - which can be taken in any order, to fit into your schedule. Most programs do not offer this flexibility. We also provide all necessary manuals for the Core RYT200 Program - there is nothing you are required to buy for the Core Modules. Again, unlike other programs which require you purchase books raising the price of the actual program.
We have added a full Yoga Alliance approved Prenatal Training as well for those wishing to gain this specialty certification - for those new to training or for those who are already RYT200. We are also offering a Detox Yoga/Hot Yoga Training that can be part of the RYT200 Program, as well as Water Yoga and Chair Yoga.
June 11-12 Module 5 – Yoga Health and Sanskrit
* To be held Friday 6:00 to 9:00PM, Saturday & Sunday 9:00AM to 5:30PM
* When attending any 200+ Hour Yoga Teacher Training make sure the school is registered with Yoga Alliance as an RYS200. Recently Yoga Alliance sent out an email regarding this issue. Below is a sentence from the email as well as a link, so you will know the importance of making sure of the schools (and instructors) credentials. A lot of instructors and schools are not registered and, therefore, the training may not be comprehensive enough to qualify them. To find out if a school or instructor is registered, visit Yoga Alliance Find a Teacher page or Yoga Alliance Find a School page. Make sure you have the proper spelling, and remember some instructors may be registered under their maiden names (as we are).

Russia coach Guus Hiddink is eager to return to club management in the Premier League following his successful caretaker spell at Chelsea last season.
The 62-year-old Dutchman plans to take a short break after hopefully leading Russia at World Cup 2010 in South Africa but said he was "very attracted" by the prospect of working in England.
The former Real Madrid boss, who is back in the UK for Russia's World Cup qualifier against Wales at the Millennium Stadium on Wednesday night, spent the final four months of last season at Stamford Bridge and admitted he is missing Premier League football.
"I had a wonderful time in England and before I worked for Chelsea I was often watching the Premier League," said Hiddink. "I love to be in England to smell the atmosphere. So, missing it? Of course I am missing it."
Hiddink revived Chelsea's floundering season following the departure of Luiz Felipe Scolari and steered the Blues to victory in the FA Cup final over Everton in May.
Asked if had the appetite for a second stint in the English top flight, Hiddink replied: "Of course. England is very attractive.
"It's unique in that the level of competition is high. But I have to make a judgment whether I stop for a few months, or half a year or a year, or do something different within football."
Hiddink also said that Chelsea skipper John Terry and midfielder Frank Lampard would make a big impact for England at the World Cup.
"I loved to work with them every day," he said. "They are key players for Chelsea and key players for the national team. England depend a lot on them but it is encouraging that there are good young players coming up as well.
"England are playing a modern way of football, very intelligent, smart and attractive. And I think they can go all the way in South Africa."
England will qualify for the World Cup on Wednesday if they beat Croatia.

Martin Kaymer grabbed his first title of the year with victory at the Nedbank Golf Challenge in Sun City, South Africa.
Leader overnight, the German bogeyed the 15th to have his advantage at the top of the leaderboard cut to one stroke by local hero Charl Schwartzel.
But Kaymer, a former Scottish Open winner and the man who sank the putt that ensured Europe retained the Ryder Cup earlier this year, held his nerve.
He finished on eight under par with Schwartzel at six under and American Bill Haas three strokes further back.
Scotland's Ryder Cup hero Paul Lawrie, the leader after the second round, finished on 74 to be sixth overall.
Kaymer said: "It was always tight. Charl played great golf but I knew I need a win.
"I have played very well in the last few weeks and months, but it just did not happen for me on the golf course, so this is great. It's a great way to round off the year."
Kaymer ensured it was a German-double at Sun City.
On Saturday, fellow German Bernhard Langer took the Nedbank Champions Challenge.
ICE HOCKEY: Braehead Clan slipped six points behind fifth-placed Coventry Blaze in the EIHL when they were beaten 5-1 in the Midlands last night.
Clan were level at 1-1 when Jade Galbraith netted after 24 minutes to equalise Gerome Giudice's opener.
However, two goals from Russell Cowley and a double from Greg Leeb settled the issue.
BASKETBALL: Glasgow Rocks were beaten 85-73 at home against Leicester Riders in a BBL Championship game last night.

OK here's what we know. On THIS season of Love And Hip Hop, MiMi will be featured with her new boyfriend, an upcoming R&B singer named Niko. Well apparently Stevie doesn't like the fact that MiMi has ANOTHER MAN.
So two nights ago, while at Niko's video premiere party in Atlanta, Stevie J showed up and PULLED MiMi aside. Stevie PROFESSED HIS UNDYING LOVE to MiMi – and gave her a Cartier watch. Yes, we're talking about the SAME Stevie J who is STILL f*cking Joseline and OTHERS.
Well MiMi seemed to be going for STEVIE'S GAME when Niko stepped in and started CALLING MIMI OUT HER NAME for even listening to Stevie's mess. Note – Niko did NOT step to Stevie who was HOLLA'ING AT HIS GIRL right in front of him tho.
Then it got real RATCHET – with Niko and MiMi SCREAMING AT EACH OTHER in the middle of the club. At the end, Niko called MiMi "DAMAGED GOODS" and told her to GO with Stevie if she wanted to.
Mimi, being the DUMMY that she is . . . left the club with Stevie.

Marketing for Introverts: Ignore the Shoulds and Blaze Your Own Trail
Copyright (c) 2010 Marcia Yudkin
Creative Marketing Solutions
In a survey I conducted of more than 300 self-described
introverts, an astounding 95 percent said they sometimes or often
felt "That's just not me!" when reading experts' marketing
advice. To me, that shows marketing experts haven't been
sensitive to the issue of personality preferences when
recommending marketing tactics.
Start reading marketing advice online, and it doesn't take long
until you run up against recommendations that feel alien to those
who reserve self-disclosures for close friends and family
members, look down on name droppers and would never in a million
years disclose, let alone brag about, their earnings.
It's next to impossible to excel at something that you resist or
resent. And that explains why introverts often get into a
self-defeating spiral when it comes to marketing: It feels
foreign and you flub it. Or you feel inauthentic and your
hold-back comes across. Or you "forget" to take care of the
marketing tasks on your to-do list.
My approach is different. I believe we should rarely force
ourselves to do something that we strongly believe doesn't match
who we are.
This doesn't mean turning into a not-for-me sloth, of course. It
means starting from a recognition of what you do enjoy and how
you shine. Even the most withdrawn, asocial person has some
aspects of their personality that can become magnetic when
properly highlighted.
In addition, like me at one time, you may have a distorted
recognition of your capabilities and blossom as a marketer after
divesting yourself of societal stereotypes and reclaiming your
For example, I grew up believing that only those who commanded
attention at the dinner table or in the classroom could excel at
public speaking, acting or performing. That was a thoroughly
mistaken and damaging belief. There are hundreds of well-known
contemporary and historical figures who misprove it, from Abraham
Lincoln and Calvin Coolidge in politics to Steve Martin and Meryl
Streep in acting to Garrison Keillor and Diane Sawyer in
broadcasting - all introverts and all successful in attaining and
keeping public attention.
As a coach, I regularly catch clients voicing "shoulds" or
"musts" that they've unthinkingly accepted, as well as
negative self-judgments that are at odds with objective facts.
After we give those ideas a critical look, clients feel freer to
choose marketing methods that they can fully commit themselves
Are you ready for the success that follows self-acceptance? Are
you willing to blaze your unique trail?

Fall vegetable gardening can be one of the most rewarding gardening experiences in Florida.
The days are warm without being hot, the mosquitoes are fewer and the cool nights can provide ideal growing conditions for cool-season vegetable crops.
If you have grown your own vegetables in another state or are new to vegetable gardening, there are several things you will need to know.
Site preparation is the first step. Find an area in your yard that receives at least six hours of sun (eight or more would be much better). Remember, this area may be shady in other seasons.
You might want to consider making raised beds for your vegetable garden. There are lots of materials that can be used in raised-bed construction. The best materials for the job are long-lasting, and rot- and insect-resistant.
One very important thing to remember is not to use pressure-treated lumber. The chemicals used in pressure-treated lumber to preserve the wood have come under scrutiny recently. You don't need to take the chance, with so many other options.
You can choose naturally rot-resistant wood. Concrete blocks also make nice raised beds and, if reinforced and mortared together, can be built to a comfortable standing height.
Rot-resistant decking, although more pricey, is very easy to work with, is attractive, lasts for many years and would be an excellent choice for making raised beds.
Soil preparation is extremely important. I am sure most of us are dealing with less than ideal soil for vegetable gardening. It doesn't matter if you have sandy soil, which holds little water and nutrients, or you have heavy clay soil that will not drain, the secret ingredient is organic matter.
Organic matter can be compost that you make or composted manures you can buy. The organic matter will "break up" heavy clay soils, and will improve the water- and nutrient-holding capacities of sandy soil.
You will want to mix the organic matter with your existing soil to a depth of about 12 inches.
One of the biggest mistakes in Florida vegetable gardening is the improper timing of planting.
The unique climate of Central Florida demands we plant cool-season vegetables at the end of October or very early November. Some cool-season vegetables cannot take the heat; others are tolerant to frost and freeze.
Broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and celery need to be started four to six weeks before being transplanted into the garden. You can sow the seed in a pot of moist potting soil. If you cover the pot with a clear plastic bag, you will not have to water until the seeds start to grow.
Transplant the seedlings once the first set of true leaves (Those that resemble the full-grown plant) is visible. You can move the seedlings into cell packs, but I prefer 4-inch pots because they have more room to grow and develop and don't dry out so quickly.
Beets, carrots, collards, endive, kohlrabi, lettuce, mustard greens, onion sets, English peas, radish and spinach can be sown directly into the garden. Keep the seedbed moist until the seedlings emerge.
Fertilization is important for good yield from your garden. You will need to fertilize monthly during the growing season. A balanced fertilizer where all three numbers are the same (for example, 8-8-8) is fine. Spread the fertilizer in a band along the side of the plants at a rate of 1 or 2 ounces per 100 feet of row, which, roughly speaking, is about a handful.
Inspect your plants weekly for insects. Turn the leaves over and examine. Many of the common insects that attack vegetables are fairly small, so a magnifying glass may be helpful.
Keep in mind not all insects are bad. In fact, most insects are good. Usually, the biggest bug gets unfairly blamed for the damage. Become familiar with aphids, whiteflies and spider mites, the most common "bad guys" in the vegetable garden.
Try using soapy water for insect control. You can buy insecticidal soap, gentle on the good bugs in your garden and environmentally friendly, at a garden center.

When Does an Inflation Target Yield the Second Best?
It is shown that an inflation target does not establish the second best if the central bank is independent and the government collects seigniorage revenues. To eliminate excessive inflation and ensure that stabilization is efficient, society should combine an optimal inflation target with a central bank that attaches less weight to inflation stabilization than the public does.

Children from low-income families combine education and fun at Sunday Friends.
Sunday Friends emphasizes earning through learning, rewarding low-income families with tickets – redeemable for items at its on-site store – in exchange for spending their Sundays participating in community service activities and taking classes. Adults typically trade tickets for household goods like diapers and dish soap, while children often exchange them for toys and school supplies.
Ten-year-old Alberto had his eye on a big, red bicycle at the Sunday Friends' Treasure Chest and saved his tickets for weeks. When he finally had enough, Alberto instead cashed them in to buy a stroller for a pregnant woman he didn't know.
"We asked him why he did that," said Ali Barekat, executive director of Sunday Friends, "and he answered, 'Because she needed it.'"
Alberto is proof that along with receiving goods and bettering themselves through classes ranging from computers to cooking, participants learn valuable life lessons from Sunday Friends.
"They learn the difference between want and need, and they learn to help others," Barekat said. "The program builds character."
Even in those with ulterior motives.
"One woman told us, 'I came to the program to steal from you, but I changed,'" Barekat recalled. "We have people who come to us that are just trying to survive – they're living day to day – and when they feel confident and safe and understand the value of learning, they change."
The more these people participate in the program – which promotes family, education and a healthy lifestyle – the more open they are to learning and changing, according to Barekat. On any given Sunday, 60 to 70 families take part, including approximately 130 children. Some create gifts for seniors, others write thank-you notes to donors, while several learn to use the Internet, improve their English skills, manage their money and prepare healthful meals.
"It works," Barekat said of Sunday Friends," because it makes people feel good about themselves and we treat them with respect."
The families in need aren't the only ones who benefit from the program, open noon to 6 p.m. Sundays on a rotating basis at Lowell, Blackford and Anne Darling elementary schools in San Jose. Although the volunteers – numbering at least 100 per week – don't get tickets, they are rewarded in other ways.
"They come and give their time, and they gain from working with the families," Barekat said. "They leave much happier and feel better about themselves – just like the families do. It's a two-way relationship, and everybody wins."
Including Barekat's son, Ryan, who introduced him to Sunday Friends. Ryan volunteered throughout high school.
"My son is a much better person and in tune with himself and the community more than he had ever been because of Sunday Friends," Barekat said.
A computer technologist who helped launch several successful startup companies, Barekat became executive director at Sunday Friends in January. He's never worked harder.
"I work seven days a week, more than I ever did with the startups," said Barekat, who handles the finances, website, publicity and logistics. "But this is different – it's energizing and the reward is instant."
As for Alberto, he eventually did get that red bike.
"We made sure of that," Barekat said with a smile.
