Ichigo's Moves Are Getting Old!?!?!?

Yea, honestly, his fights have been annoying me. Right in the beginning of every fight, he goes into his Bankai form. His bankai just seems so damn weak. So weak that he's forced to use his vaizard form. And yea it looks really cool and he's really powerful but all he every does is Getsuga Tenshou. We're already up to episode 196 and he still hasn't learned any new moves. Ulquiorra's awesome and I think that it's pretty lame that Ichigo will most likely get to beat him without learning any new skills. Granted that Ichigo's reiatsu is higher than Ulquiorra's, Ulquiora is still at a much higher skill level.
He needs to learn more sills for his bankai, and cero certainly would be a nice edition to his vaizard form.
Also on a side note, what is up with his speed? That's supposed to be one of the great things about his Bankai, his super speed. It's supposed to be quicker than fast steps. It seems this high speed was only utilized when he fought Byakuya. Since then, he hasn't really used it.
Typical story : The enemies just get stronger and stronger. Which probaly means faster and faster.
ichigo prolly gonna go even further than jus Bankai Vizard...
I think that it is possible and probable that ichigos bankai has more than one level or part to it due to the fact that most bankai are quite large while Ichigos is not even near the normal size and has minimal advantages, although his bankai is at "bankai level" I don't believe that is his true bankai due to his enormous spiritual power and especially his latent spiritual power. If you consider the fact that there isn't all that much Ichigo can do to power up atm besides more control over his hollow form, an addition of another stage/level of his bankai would allow for extra strength and probably more interesting moves. But I don't know, and even if this isn't the case i believe it would be a good addition to his shinigami powers as well as balancing his hollow and shinigami sides out a bit better and also allow for better control of his inner self.
It's kinda boring now, cos he keeps using Getsuga Tenshou-.- Seems like that's his only move.
Show me a hero and I'll write you a tragedy.
what would have been really cool is if ichigo could turn into his white self anytime he wanted to in order to do some new move because ichigo's white self has always been the one to use the new moves anyway and the same could be said for getsuga tenshou. Besides, ichigo is the king of his world, it shouldn't be impossible to unleash the power of his other self (who is zangetsu literally) without loosing himself to his other self :D, it would be just like ichigo's fight with that new third squad captain in the fellow episodes between the arrancar arc, ichigo's other self revealed himself for a bit in that fight.
Travelling, would be offline for a while but would definitely be back.

ok, it has been over 140 episodes since ichigo got his bankai and his getsuga tenshou. It has also been over 60 episodes since he gained control of his hollow self and had gained his vizard form. Even though his bankai was special the first time he used it, the dude uses it way too much as if it is an ordinary shikai, it was just like in the filler episodes between the arrancar arc, ichigo used his bankai to fight ordinary hollow in his first encounter with urichyo(however her name is spelt) the noble, and his getsuga tenshou is also being seriously overused, i actually liked the fact that his vizard form makes it stronger but dont u people think that it is about time zangetsu taught ichigo another move . This is just like Naruto, who kept on using his kage bunshin multiple times and had his butt handed over to him multiple times (its a good thing that he has gained a new way of fighting in the manga, i cant wait till the anime gets there). It is also true that Ichigo's vizard form is getting a bit overused too and i also think it would be really unfair if ichigo gets to fight ulqiourra and wins against him without even getting a new and stronger move, i mean it was bad enough that he was able to win against grimmjow but ulqiourra is absolutely not so weak. Opinions please
Ulquiorra is special tough.
Everyone likes him. And he is a Vasto Lorde
how do u know his vasto lorde level? if he is then would the top 3 be as well?
New pics uploaded XD
Well, he can only use that Moon Fang thing right now. As some people commented (I forget who), the sword teaches the user its techniques, all it means is that Zengatsu hasn't taught Ichigo anything new, either that or Ichigo hasn't asked.
i think there r gettin old evry single time its getsuga tenshou when is he finally gonna be able to use the cero
dont underestimate the power of dark side
werd fahad ^ i wanna see him use some kind of cero/getsuga tenshou big blast thing
with great power comes great....evil =]
Right now, he's off bout to fight Ulquiorra for the second time and it just annoys me that Ulquiorra's gonna take an L. Something should have done along the way that resulted in Ichigo learning a new move. KT dropped the ball here. But who knows, maybe he'll be on the verge of death again and someone learn something new from Zangetsu
Always U2D
i think it dosent matter aslong as he still kick a**
How come my world is changing now?
So you're telling me zen bone sakura is getting old as well? Byakuya never had any new moves. And besides, Ichigo is going to learn how to use a Cero ( which of course seems a bit universal to hollows).
Although, I hoping there'd be new moves as well. After all, I love a big variety!
Where the hell am I?
Yh it is, ichigo uses it in most fights *sigh
kekeke kekeke call me beep or beeep
yeah he does use the same attacks alot. like half the time he uses bankai like 2 seconds in the fight. he needs to learn hakuda or something
Please don't add me.
Although Ichigo's techniques are getting old he can not get a new zanpakto considering the fact that a soul reaper and their zanpakto are intertwined. What would be a very interesting turn of events would be if Zangestu taught Ichigo some new techniques. For example if he had a second form of bankai which was more elegant, and a few extra attacks he could use while his zanpakto was in it's shikai form.

Tax havens aren't all white sand and palm trees — Montana and Wyoming offer the same kind of anonymity for shell companies. And there are important distinctions between illegal activity and tax avoidance. Speaking of taxes, we dig a little deeper into the new tax bill, looking at the impact of removing alimony deductions and discussing just how pro-growth it is with Neil Bradley, senior vice president and chief policy officer at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Plus, a fact check on President Donald Trump's statement that arms sales are job creation and a look at the day-to-day life of Puerto Ricans who had to leave the island because of power outages and food shortages.

Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian had us seeing double today.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians stars both stepped out together in New York City in layered neutrals, Kim's off-white slacks, high-neck blouse and overcoat practically a mirror image of her mother's ensemble.
North's mom opted for a bow that tied at the neck and beige heels, however, while Kris' bow accented her waist and she wore two-tone cap-toe boots.
Mother and daughter were spotted heading to lunch at celeb favorite Cipriani, a day after Kris, rocking a sequined minidress, joined Kim, Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick at Kanye West's concert at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y., the final stop on the North American leg of his Yeezus Tour.

I recently had a wicked craving for Chinese food. I actually ended up cooking it two nights in a row…more on that later. This is a Chicken Lo Mein recipe from Taste of Home that I modified slightly.
( Julienned carrots and minced ginger. Embrace your sissy la la cooking terms )
I've been trying to limit carbs recently, especially breads, pastas, and starchy vegetables. I wanted to make this dish with as much chicken and veggies as possible and cut down on the noodles. Greasy delicious noodles. Damn't why do you have to be so bad for me. I chopped up some green and red bell pepper, julienned some carrots, and minced the garlic and ginger. I meant to add onion too but didn't. I've got terrible $#it term memory.
So I thawed some frozen skinless chicken breasts and cut them into cubes. Put them into a pan with some vegetable oil over medium high heat.
Pour some linguini noodles, a little salt and olive oil into a pot of boiling water.
A few minutes of frying the chicken and it's time to add the veggies, garlic and ginger. I strained 1/3 of the juice from the pineapple chunks into a bowl, poured out the rest, and added the chunks with the veggies.
( If you're food doesn't look like a delicious rainbow then no one will want to eat it. Truth )
Yes I know what you are thinking. Why does he cook always cook enough food to feed a portly family of 5? I'll tell you. Just not this minute.
In the bowl with the pineapple juice I added the1/3 cup of low sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and a tablespoon more vegetable oil.
When the noodles were cooked, I strained and added them to the pan. I poured the sauce bowl on top and mixed it all together.
After letting that fry for a little bit, the Chicken Lo Mein is done. So what goes well with Chicken Lo Mein? In the spirit of low carbs I made another meat dish.
I pan fried some chicken wings in a little vegetable oil for about 12-15 minutes until they were golden brown. Then I used a store bought spicy Sczechwan sauce mix to coat the wings in. The sun bird mixes at Kroger are stupid good…but Warning: the levels of sodium in those bad boys is probably considered toxic among your health nut friends. Or just any reasonable human being in general. Delicious.
I also tried a recipe for soy glazed green beans which was just ok.
Typically on recipes like this I cut down on the fatty ingredient measurements. In this case I should have just followed the recipe. The more butter and oil you use the better it will taste. Just snap the ends off some fresh green beans, put them in boiling water for three minutes, then strain and add them to a pan with the butter, oil, garlic and pour the soy sauce on top. Let them fry over medium high heat for an additional 5 or so minutes.
( If you touch this picture on your computer screen your fingers will get greasy )
After pounding my intestines with this meal, I did in fact make Chinese again the very next night....Broccoli Beef. I will post part two of the Chinese feast next. And yes, I did end up with a crap ton of leftovers. Most people complain that cooking for one is either not worth the trouble, or you end up with too many leftovers. I'm also going to show you what I did with all of these leftovers... stay tuned.

These colorfully – and carefully -- arranged photographs that resemble food morse-code were created by Dennis Adelann and Carolin Wanitzek in promotion of the 'Food Throttle' diet app.
The process behind these immaculately orchestrated food photographs was a difficult one; some of the smaller foods had to be placed just so with the aid of tweezers, and an entire sneeze could throw the whole project out of whack. Production also had to move quickly to ensure the more succulent ingredients wouldn't seep through the colorful backgrounds. Despite the posed challenges of working with food, the final product is a work of art.
Explaining why this pristine food arrangement was the best way to advertise for the app, Adelann states, "Food Throttle's philosophy of dieting is very organized and structured. So we decided to show the meals in a kind of constructed pattern on bright colors." The app functions by pairing data from over 300,000 NYC restaurants to recommendations from doctors and dieticians.

Pitfalls to Avoid While Coming to Dubai
Admittedly, Dubai is a very cosmopolitan city and is accommodating to everyone. However it is best to be aware of a few facts before setting your sights on a job in Dubai Competition is tough because you are vying with aspirants from all over the world. Although the excitement of a high paying tax free salary may lure one over to Dubai, you may in time be bogged down by the hidden costs such as the escalating rents and rising cost of utilities.
If that is not all, there are things such as setting up in a new location, getting access to internet and phone services, home furnishing, car payments, school fees for the children, finding a nanny if required, and health insurance which may leave you reconsidering your entire decision. The lack of decent public transport also forces people to buy or rent a car as soon as they arrive, adding to their financial problems.
Hopefully, rental rates will eventually drop once the large proportion of properties currently under construction become available this year. Meanwhile it makes sense for those being offered a job in Dubai to look closely at their benefits package- especially medical, transport, housing allowance and fees for school children- as these can really set you back. Also consider distances to the school and other amenities like the supermarket from the location you will work in or stay in, as these are often overlooked aspects that can take up a huge chunk of your time.

What Lies Ahead for Jobseekers in the UAE
In contrast, if we were to look at the previous six years or so, the UAE and especially Dubai was a hot bed of activity. There was an appetite to construct as many buildings as possible, whether for homes, apartments, shops, hotels, malls or any other places of gathering and entertainment. You could hear the sound of work going on at any time of the night or day. Now however there is an uneasy silence most of the time. The credit crunch means that cash flows have been affected, and in turn so have the housing and construction projects. New projects have been facing difficulty getting off the ground, while old projects have either changed hands in terms of management, construction teams or both. One healthy estimate was that at much as 60 percent of the previously held back projects have resumed, although many have had to extend their completion deadlines. As the economy slowly picks up again, we see that there has been renewed interest in job websites Dubai. In fact in view of the bad press that Dubai has been getting lately, many of the returning or new workers prefer to look at all of the UAE job websites, rather than just restrict themselves to job sites Dubai. The fact is that due to the past happenings of the last two years or so, it is less likely that one would choose job opportunities Dubai compared to other job opportunities in UAE. For those who have been touched by the previous downturn, job openings Dubai is least likely to attract them. They would rather take their chances in any other part of the UAE. And this is well advised, for there are better opportunities in the other emirates now that some Dubai based businesses have relocated there.

In what amounts to either a simple gaffe or an extremely ill-timed confession, Vice President Joe Biden declared at a campaign event Friday that he's never been proud to be President Obama's right-hand man.
At a campaign stop in Wisconsin, Biden talked about President Obama's record, and about his faith in the POTUS moving forward into a hypothetical second term. Sealing the deal, Biden said, with passion:
"There's never been a day in the last four years I've been proud to be his VP."
Oh, Joe.
Naturally, conservative bloggers were quick to shred Biden on the "proud" gaffe, which does make for a pretty convenient headline just days before the election. Still, reporters on-site defended Joe Biden, insisting that his "proud" gaffe wasn't really a gaffe, we just didn't understand what the VP was saying:
"Biden was not saying he doesn't like being VP," wrote Politico's Jennifer Epstein. "It was very clear to all the reporters at the event — and from the context — that he was expressing pride in his job."
Of course, Epstein is right. Context, once again, is king. Though an exhausted (maybe even drunken) Joe Biden confessing that he'd finally had enough with the office of VP in front of a crowd of thousands would make great fiction, but the reality boils down to a simple slip of the tongue.
Still, gaffe-watch surrounding Vice President Biden is to be expected. Like GOP challenger Mitt Romney, Biden has made a number of curious remarks that the media has pounced upon. He accidentally blew the White House's support for same-sex marriage before President Obama got a chance to announce it, in Florida last week, he asked an American man if he was Indian at a restaurant, and called Virginia Democratic Senate candidate Tim Kaineby the wrong name twice during a campaign stop in Ohio last weekend.
Anyway, here's the video of Joe Biden's "proud" gaffe. Let us know what you think: Is Biden saying "There's never been a day in the last four years I've been proud to be his VP," or is he saying "There's never been a day in the last four years I ain't been proud to be his VP?" Sound off below!

Kelly Bise's Supercharged Z06 Rips Up the Houston Mile
That's no rookie behind the wheel, but even an experienced driver like Kelly Bise has trouble keeping a supercharged Corvette Z06′s power under control.
In this video from High Tech Corvette, Bise gets his Z06 up to an incredible 160 mph in just a half-mile run at the Houston Mile before he lets up.
But it wasn't easy. As you watch the video, you'll see him slide all over the track on his first attempt to keep more than 700 ft-lbs of torque to the ground. He keeps trying to get this monster of a car under control, though, and he finally masters it. Watch the speedometer climb rapidly on the bottom of your screen!
Did we mention that Bise owns and races the World's Fastest Twin-Turbo Camaro, so he's no stranger to the track?
We're wondering just how fast he could get the Corvette to go if he took the full mile?

Bread and circuses.
Allow me to quote the Roman satirical poet Juvenal, and thus leave you awed with the mistaken impression that I read poetry in Latin when I'm not flying jets and playing polo:
… Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses.
In other words, if you want to keep the rabble from becoming troublesome, it might be as simple as amusing them.
As I write this, it's Super Bowl Sunday, and the chatter online feels almost equally anticipatory of the interstitial advertising festival as of the contest itself. For most of the time I spent in the ad game, I had mixed feelings about this. On one hand, it was wonderful to see what creative people could do with the handcuffs of money and cultural convention removed. The Super Bowl provided some epic moments for McLuhan's "greatest art form of the twentieth century." On the other, though, the whole ritual took on a sort of pagan quality, where for one day the marketing world cast off accountability and common sense and danced naked around the bonfire to see what they could get away with. In the grand scheme of things, though, I thought it was all fine. Everybody seemed happy, no harm done.
Writing Consumer Republic changed this a little for me. I've come to see advertising whose sole purpose is amusement as a bit of a waste at best, and subversive at worst. The idea that a brand can win us over by putting on a little puppet show rather than having a conversation with consumers somehow trivializes the democratic purpose of marketplaces. I still think this is fine when it's confined to the circus; it would worry me a little, though, if it ended up somehow becoming a model for all dialogue between brands and the People. Liking this kind of thing too much could make us slaves by making us passive.
I really do hope everybody enjoyed the ads. We just have to remember what we were watching. This wasn't marketing (even ad folk evade the ROI question when it comes to the Super Bowl). This was entertainment. Marketing's job is to give us a right to vote and a reason to do it. Now that it's Monday morning, that's the game we have to go back to, all of us.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some verbs to conjugate. And a yacht race.

Hey, Bruce.
I haven't had the chance to look at many of the ads yet and I certainly don't quibble with your main point that too often, the Super Bowl is an excuse for, as you put it, a puppet show with no opportunity to create a conversation.
Judging from my tweet stream today, though, at least two of the advertisers sparked powerful conversations with their ads.
In the case of Volkswagen and its terribly endearing Darth Vader kid, that conversation has been all a good brand could want it to be.
On the other hand, Groupon, with its regrettable and very poorly executed concept, has started a conversation of quite a different tone.
Now, don't crash the yacht while you're busy conjugating.
- BrandCowboy said...
Hey, Francis,
I think that's a fair observation. I watched the Radian 6 metrics roll by this afternoon on Brand Bowl, and there's no doubt a couple of brands made people smile and talk about it. But what you could also see in that data was how fast it all faded to nothing. At the 24 hour mark, online chatter about most of the brands had all but fallen silent. Then, it becomes the impression left rather than the experience of an ad that's commercially important. And if I'd paid $3 million for that thirty second spot yesterday, I'd want that impression to have something to do with what I was selling or what my brand stood for. Against that standard, it's hard to see who really scored.
- Francis Moran said...
I've only just had the chance to watch the Chrysler ad with Eminem and the great tagline, "Imported from Detroit." I have to say I really liked it.
What do you think this campaign, assuming it's more than a one-shot wonder, will do for the brands of both Chrysler Detroit?
- BrandCowboy said...
Maybe I'll have to plead guilty to cynicism on this one.
I agree that the ad is very engaging. Moving, even. The creators have learned at the knee of W+K very well, in terms of the can't-miss power of an emotional pitch supported by a great track.
But I can only get there if I divorce the ad from the brand, which I guess you can guess isn't my inclination. Put them together, and it starts to feel obscenely insincere. It's not only that the company is owned by Italians now, but that Chrysler has so often tried to swan us into cheering it on in the past. It's like a recidivist womanizer, trying to charm its way to forgiveness yet again. The ad was great, but where it came from made me roll my eyes, if I'm honest.
Still, if, as you say, they stuck with it. Made it real. Flattened our cynicism with commitment, history would end up recording it as a bold, important move. I'd like that happy ending. I'd be very pleased to be proven wrong.

Real guys go at it again. This time, there are three hung tops and their three submissive bottoms. In true classic Gaslamp form, this is all raw bareback fucking with no condoms!
Scene one: Cameron Cruise and Anthony DeAngelo decided to do their first bareback scene for Gaslamp Video. You have seen them in mainstream porn, but this is the first time they have fucked raw for the camera. They fuck hard and talk nasty. These guys are real life lovers, so their sex is constantly hot and nasty. They loved doing their bareback video and it shows. Cameron cant get enough of Anthonys cock. He gets fucked over and over, and he even loves to suck Anthonys cock after it has been in his ass. Anthony shoots his load up Camerons ass and then Cameron cleans him off with his mouth. Of course that isnt enough, Cameron has to give his load down Anthonys throat.
Scene two: In this intense master/salve scene, the top ties up his boy and makes him lick him all over, suck his huge cock and balls, and makes him beg to get fucked. And they fuck hard. There is lots of hardcore, bareback fucking in this video. The bottom cums when the huge cock keeps pumping his ass. But that doesnt stop the top from fucking; he keeps going until he shoots his load up the bottoms ass. He then tells his boy to shoot it back out and he does …a huge load dripping out of his ass. A very hot scene!
Scene three: A bareback scene with guys who like to fuck without condoms. Not actors, but just a pair of guys who love to fuck. Their passion is intense. They fuck like rabbits, hard and fast, and not a condom in site. They shoot like crazy, slurping up each others cum.

Today we will conclude our tour of the Bean Family Cemetery, located near Waiteville in Monroe County, West Virginia.
As you will recall from previous posts, the little cemetery is located across the one-lane road and on a hillock from the Bean homestead.
Standing at the cemetery, one has a wondrous view of the old house that William built for his family.
Below is another stone, that appears to be hewn simply from a rock. It sits at one end of a sunken grave, marking an unknown individual.
As you can see, no markings are visible.
An old, wire and metal fence marks the boundaries of the cemetery. Attached to tree trunks and..
...to rotted fence posts.
One can easily determine the outside perimeter, simply by following the old fencing.
One lone grave marker shows a single marking... an old "english-style" letter "C".
You can see the letter better in this photograph. However, no one is known to have been buried here with a name that began with a "C", and we are stumped as to whom this gravemarker was for.
A few short years ago, the family placed this modern marker in a central location memorializing the patriarch and matriarch of our family, William and Rachel [Wiseman] Bean.
The reverse of the stone shows our Clan crest, as obtained through the Clan MacBean.
If there is one individual remaining who knows the most of the history of the family from this area, it is Walter Beane, seen here in 2009, showing cousins the old cemetery.

Happy 2013 to all my readers! How's it been going for you so far? Good, I hope, because we don't want it any other way, do we?
A short but sweet blog this week as I wanted to keep you up to date with happenings here at Misfit House.
My year has certainly started in the right way and long may it continue. Our New Year's Eve was spent in the company of close friends, drinking champers, eating and taking part in a quiz. Oh, and teaching a puppy to dance Pudsey-style but that's a whole different story and no, there are no pictures!
And on the back of my Daily Mail article, I was offered two radio interviews. The first was for Talk Radio Europe and it was recorded today ready to go on air tomorrow (Thursday 3rd January) at 6pm and repeated on Sunday 6th January at 9pm - you can eventually listen to it here.
The second will be going out LIVE at 3pm (eek!) on BBC Radio London 94.9 this coming Friday 5th on the Jo Good show. The producer has told me that I'll also be taking calls from listeners, so I fully expect to be ripped to shreds, but I welcome the chance to defend myself and my son. Bring it on! I'm also looking forward to a visit to the BBC studios - exciting times! You can tune in on the radio or online here.
So, all in all, a positive start to my new year. BOOK SIX is planned and ready to be started next week. I'm thoroughly looking forward to getting back to some sort of routine and knuckling down to get that first draft out. The characters are ready and the stage is set - all that's needed is for me to say 'Curtain Up!' And that may give you a slight clue to the book's content. 'Nuff said!
So, New Year's resolutions? Nah! I never bother because I don't believe in them. Although I've kind of been forced into one. My goddaughter reminded me that we'd made a vow (three years ago) to have our hair permed on my 50th birthday (February 2014) so this year's challenge is to grow my hair! Hubbie is NOT happy - he likes the bob too much but a godmother never goes back on a promise.
Wish me luck as I head off to my interview and, if any of you fancy ringing in, it would be great to hear a friendly voice.
I wish you all a happy and healthy 2013

Fitch has upgraded National Long-Term Rating to 'AA(pol)' from 'A+(pol)'. The Outlook is Stable. The IDR of Ostrow reflects its sound operating performance, which we expect to be maintained over the medium term, as well as its low debt and strong debt coverage ratios. The upgrade of National Long-Term Rating reflects Fitch's reassessment of credit strength of Ostrow relative to its national peers. KEY RATING DRIVERS The ratings reflect the following key rating drivers and their relative weights: HIGH Fiscal Performance (Neutral) Fitch expects that over the medium term Ostrow will continue to report strong operating performance, with an operating margin of around 13% annually and an operating balance estimated on average at PLN30 million or 3x annual debt service (instalments with interests). In 2016 Ostrow posted a sound operating margin of 13.5% and an operating balance of PLN33 million or 2.8x annual debt service. Debt, other Long-term Liabilities (Strength) Fitch expects direct debt to decline to PLN45 million or below 20% of current revenue in 2020 from around PLN70 million expected in 2017. We project a debt payback ratio of around two years over the medium term (2017 preliminary: 2.2 years), which is the lowest among Ostrow's peers. Fitch expects capex to average around PLN35 million annually over the medium term or around 12% of total expenditure. Ostrow will apply for EU funds to co-finance capex. The city invests mainly in local infrastructure such as roads, schools, kindergartens or municipal buildings. Capex financing will largely come from the city's own resources and capital revenue, and partially from new debt. The debt of Ostrow's municipal companies totalled PLN54 million in 2016. The majority of the public sector entities' (PSEs) debt was related to two companies that invested in projects co-financed by EU. In Fitch's view, indirect risk does not constitute a major risk to the city's budget as these companies are repay their debt with their own revenue. Ostrow has issued only one guarantee amounting to PLN1.7 million, which relates to the debt of the municipal housing association; however, it does not pose a risk to the city's budget as the company has been servicing its debt on time. MEDIUM Management & Administration (Neutral) As a municipality Ostrow has different responsibilities, a smaller budget and consequently lower flexibility than larger cities rated by Fitch. The small size of the Ostrow's budget makes the city more exposed to adverse changes in the local economy or institutional framework. However, the city's administration takes a prudent approach to budgeting and maintains a cash buffer for unexpected expenses. It also creates an environment conducive to business and a comfortable standard of living to deter migration from the city. As with many other Polish subnationals, Ostrow also faces pressure on operating expenditure, especially on education due to the state reform implemented in 2017 and rising salaries. In response the city's administration has implemented a range of cost-rationalisation measures such as organising collective tenders for utilities and modernising public buildings. We assume that the city will continue with this approach in the medium term. Institutional Framework (Neutral) The regulatory regime for Polish local governments (LGs) is reasonably stable. Their activities and financial statements are closely monitored and reviewed by the central administration. Disclosure of the LGs' accounts is satisfactory. The main revenue sources, such as income tax revenue, transfers and subsidies from the central government are centrally distributed according to a legally defined formula, which limits the central government's scope for discretion. However, local tax rates such as real estate tax, which some LGs are entitled to collect, are capped by the state. This makes LGs somewhat reliant on decisions made by the central government and limits their revenue-raising flexibility. The city's ratings also reflect the following key rating drivers: Economy (Neutral) Ostrow is a small city, with around 70,000 inhabitants, but is located close to the capitals of three Polish regions. This makes the city an attractive place to live in. Unemployment in the city in October 2017 (3.2%) was below the national average (6.6%). However, Ostrow's wealth indicators are weaker than the national average. Gross regional product per capita in the Kaliski subregion, where Ostrow is located, was 9% below the national average in 2015 (latest available data). RATING SENSITIVITIES Ostrow's ratings could be upgraded if the city strengthens its financial flexibility while maintaining sound debt metrics and its debt payback ratio at below five years. A downgrade could result from a weakening of the city's operating performance accompanied by significant increase in debt, resulting in deterioration of the debt payback ratio towards 10 years on a sustained basis.

The manner of Fitch's factual investigation and the scope of the third-party verification it obtains will vary depending on the nature of the rated security and its issuer, the requirements and practices in the jurisdiction in which the rated security is offered and sold and/or the issuer is located, the availability and nature of relevant public information, access to the management of the issuer and its advisers, the availability of pre-existing third-party verifications such as audit reports, agreed-upon procedures letters, appraisals, actuarial reports, engineering reports, legal opinions and other reports provided by third parties, the availability of independent and competent third- party verification sources with respect to the particular security or in the particular jurisdiction of the issuer, and a variety of other factors.

Ultimately, the issuer and its advisers are responsible for the accuracy of the information they provide to Fitch and to the market in offering documents and other reports.

With this recipe you'll be able to make a sponge cake just like it came out of your Nanna's kitchen. I've also included a few tips that should help you achieve the perfect sponge!
We finally picked out our new oven, we are getting a 900mm Ilve and I can't wait! It will still be a couple of weeks before we can have it installed so in the meantime I'm stuck with our old oven. And if I can manage to cook a successful sponge cake in my old oven, anyone can do it! There are a couple of tips you should remember when cooking a sponge, if you follow these you'll be impressing your friends in no time!
Firstly use older eggs, they seem to stiffen up better than fresh eggs and make sure they are at room temperature (I don't keep my eggs in the fridge anyway).
Always use an electric mixer, I love love love my KitchenAid mixer, it whips things up better than anything else I've used before! Your eggs will also whip up better in a glass or stainless steel bowl, don't use plastic, the porous surface of a plastic bowl tends to hold hidden grease which will effect your egg whites. This also brings be to my next point, make sure you use a very clean, dry bowl for exactly the same reason!
Sifting the dry ingredients is also a crucial step in distributing the ingredients evenly and creating a light mixture. My Nanna always taught me to use two sheets of baking paper and sift from one sheet to the other like this….
A good folding action is key in keeping as much air as possible in the mixture. I describe my folding action as one stroke around the very edge of the bowl, then cut through the middle of the mixture. Make sure your spoon is reaching right to the bottom of you bowl too! And for the same reason you do not use a plastic bowl, do not use a plastic or wooden spoon to do your folding.
Then last of all when cooking your sponge whatever you do, don't open the oven door in the middle of cooking to check how it's going! If you can see the sponge through the oven door, you'll be able to tell its ready when it starts to come away from the side.
4 eggs
3/4 cup caster sugar
3/4 cup gluten free corn flour
1 heaped dessert spoon gluten & dairy free custard powder
1 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp bicarb soda
500ml lactose free cream
1 tbsp caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 1/2 tsp gelatine
1. Preheat your oven to 180°C and grease two 20cm sponge tins. Its important to have two tins, you don't want half of your mixture sitting on the bench while the other half cooks.
2. Separate the eggs, placing the whites in the bowl of your electric mixer. Beat the whites until very thick, this can take up to 5 minutes. Gradually add the sugar and beat again until dissolved, then add the egg yolks and beat again until thick.
3. Sift the dry ingredients together at least 3 times then fold through the egg mixture making sure you keep as much air in the mixture as possible.
4. Place both tins side by side in the oven and bake for approx. 12 – 15 minutes. The sponge will be ready when it starts to pull away from the sides of the tin.
5. Remove from the oven and cool. While the sponges are cooling, dissolve the sugar in 1 tbsp boiling water. Once the sugar mixture has cooled slightly add the gelatine and dissolve. Stir well through the cream along with the vanilla essence and allow to thicken in the fridge.
6. Once the sponges are completely cooled, fill the middle with the cream and decorate as you please. Fresh berries are delicious or edible flowers are also very pretty!
Happy sponge making!

WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is praising former rival Barack Obama, saying the Democratic presidential nominee is closing in on winning on Election Day.
Clinton acknowledged in an interview on NBC's "Today" show Monday that she still has some disappointment over losing the fight for the party's nomination. But she also said that she's working hard to get Obama and Sen. Joe Biden elected.
Clinton said in an interview taped for "Today" from Scranton, Pa., that she thinks Obama has substantially improved his chances by the way he has handled questions about the country's severe credit crisis. She said, "I think he's closing it."

Reese Witherspoon is one of those celebrities who never looks like she's trying that hard. She has an effortlessly chic style that I'm pretty sure many would love to emulate. Out and about in Brentwood, CA a couple of weeks ago, the petite star looked adorably incognito (fedora! sunglasses!) while managing to also shine ever so brightly in a red Madewell summer dress. Her army green jacket is a nod to the current military trend and her nude wedges made her legs look a mile long (OK, maybe several feet). It was easy to come up with our Look 4 Less pieces this go-around because Reese's sweet Madewell dress is happily fairly reasonably priced!

Welcome to the flamboyant display of luxury and entertainment; the dizzying throngs of people; the glitzy sparkling lights of the nightclubs and bars; the luxurious and pompous hotels' slash casinos' facades that try to lure you in for a night of merriment and gambling. This is Las Vegas for me - a city that screams everything in unbelievable extremes. Like a beacon in the middle of the desert, its sparkling light never ceases to invite tourists in; no matter what age, race or face you have. The language is money; the currency is the willingness to spend thousands of bucks inside it.
We went here on a family trip as a celebration for Uncle Paul's birthday as well as the kids' winter break. They toured us around the strip and we got bedazzled by the Bellagio's water fountain show. Apart from the beauty of the hotels' architecture and interior, Las Vegas confused me a lot. It is a far cry from the quiet and simple life at SoCal area. Everything was abuzz; everything was blaring and ostentatious. Maybe I have reached that age when nights of partying are not my thing anymore. I am done with that. I prefer a quiet night of reading or writing, or more so, dining with good friends and family. I felt that it was quite impossible to achieve that kind of night out in Vegas. Yes, I can go to Vegas from time to time but frankly, I can't live there. I don't have the adrenaline for that anymore.
The architecture of this place is something to return to, I must say. Most of the hotels interiors are really jaw dropping marvellous. They have everything from renaissance inspired to contemporary metal cladded hotels and buildings. It is just so difficult to get a good shot mainly because of the mammoth crowd.

#FAIL – On the last day to take comments for its Net Neutrality rulemaking – a day that the FCC has no choice but to make the Internet work for it due to the expected high volume of comments streaming over the medium to the agency – their servers are clogged.
Looks like the FCC's turned into the DMV.
The agency wants to run the Internet with its expansive Net Neutrality rule…
…and yet they can't even get file transfers right (when it knows a ton are coming).
Goodbye Internet. It was nice knowing ya'.
Update – It was so bad that by early afternoon the FCC extended the deadline to Friday, as noted by FCC official Gigi Sohn below:

I put all my tbrs next to the bed, and then promptly forgot they were there! I think the disorganized pile in the middle of where they should not be is much more effective for me. Although admittedly not so great when it's time to clean or have company...

You've got me dying to reorganise my own shelves now - must resist. And yes 100 books is quite impressive enough (does not even try to count own TBR list any more)

I think 100 books is more than enough as a TBR! I have three times that and I'm currently trying to get it smaller.
I love your shelves, I have to say! It's fun to see how other readers organize their books.

Total Quality Management � PAGE �1�
Total Quality Management
A paper submitted in the course of
Quality Management and Productivity MGT/449
Total Quality Management
Total Quality Management, TQM, is a method by which management and employees participate in a continuous improvement process, products, and services. Total Quality Management is a step towards improving overall quality performance in a company. It is a combination of quality and management tools aimed at increasing business and reducing losses due to wasteful practices (Burrill, 1999).
Total Quality Management is a management approach that originated in the 1950s and has steadily become more popular in the US since the early 1980s (iSixSigma, 2008). TQM has been very popular in Europe. TQM has been widely used in manufacturing plants, education establishments, government, military, non-profit industries and service industries. Companies who have implemented TQM include Ford Motor Company, Phillips Semiconductor, SGL Carbon, Motorola and Toyota Motor Company.
The methods for implementing this approach come from the teachings of such quality leaders as Philip B. Crosby, W. Edwards Deming, Armand V. Feigenbaum, Kaoru Ishikawa and Joseph M. Juran. William Deming was an American professor and author.
Deming introduced Statistical Process Control (SPC) in Japan in 1950. He believed that management is responsible to send the message that quality is valued. Deming taught top management how to improve product quality, testing, design and sales. The Japanese asked W, Edward Deming to help the Japanese improve their economy which was torn after the war. Deming helped by implementing principles of total quality management and Japan experienced a dramatic economic growth.
In the 1980s, the United States started to see a reduction in its own world market share. America looked towards Deming's knowledge for help. Quality management experts, Joseph Juran and Philip Crosby contributed to the development of...


text: This is one of my favourite Poole Patterns. It's often referred to as Sweet Pea due to the blue seed pods or flowers, but what I like are the other abstract details - the little red devil's tail, the sun-burst flower and chevron arch. Unfortunately I think lots of other people also like this pattern so so it doesn't seem to be listed on eBay all that often, and it usually gets highish prices. This one is only 8.5 cm tall and its painted by Winifred Collett, probably in 1935.
