Simon Armitage, a sole practitioner jailed for four years in October for fraud, has been struck off in his absence by the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT).
The SDT described the behaviour of Mr Armitage, who stole money from the estates of clients, as "disgraceful", and said that although the solicitor had wished to come off the roll voluntarily, it was "in the public interest" for his misconduct to be "aired before the tribunal".
The SDT said it was clear that Mr Armitage "had been motivated by a desire to keep his financial problems at bay" when he "dishonestly misappropriated money from deceased clients' estates".
The tribunal said: "The respondent's misconduct was planned and deliberate. He had acted in flagrant breach of trust as executor and solicitor.
The SDT said Mr Armitage, principal of Armitage & Co in Exeter, caused "serious harm" to clients and to Devon firm Kitsons, which took over the sole practice in a merger.
After the conviction, James Cross, managing partner of Kitsons, said the firm contacted police and the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) after finding "financial irregularities" shortly after the merger in 2013.
Mr Cross said Kitsons launched an immediate investigation and repaid all the Armitage & Co clients who had lost money without waiting for the trial.
The SDT went on: "The harm to the reputation of the profession was extremely serious and totally foreseeable.
"There were numerous aggravating factors; there were multiple instances of deliberate and calculated dishonesty, the respondent had made no attempt to make good the losses, his misconduct continued over a period of around 14 months, his dishonesty by its very nature involved concealment including by completing false information on cheque stubs and by completing false signatures on a statutory declaration.
The tribunal heard in SRA v Armitage (case no. 11347-2015) that Mr Armitage admitted all 10 allegations made by the SRA, ranging from failing to keep other people's money safely in a bank or building society to "making or causing to be made false entries on cheque book stubs".
Other allegations included writing to a beneficiary and "knowingly giving false or misleading information" and signing a statutory declaration without the knowledge or authority of clients.
The SDT concluded: "All that could be said by way of mitigation was that the respondent had no previous appearances before the tribunal and had made admissions immediately his misconduct had been found out.
"A finding that an allegation of dishonesty had been proved would almost invariably lead to striking off save in exceptional circumstances.

A Review of Earth Bound, by Christine Feehan
August 25, 2015 | betwixt-these-pages
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Air Bound returns to the mysterious coastal town of Sea Haven where six sisters of the heart are bound by the elements, and one is stalked by an inescapable past…
After escaping from a cult, Lexi found refuge with her sisters on the farm that more than sustained her body—it nurtured her soul as well. But she never forgot the terror she left behind or the always present fear that the cult would find her again, and claim her. Then her nightmare came true.
Lexi was discovered and threatened—only to be suddenly saved by a stranger. He is Gavriil Prakenskii, and he's awestruck by the woman he's rescued. She is destined for him. He can feel it in his soul. But how can Lexi find happiness with a man steeped in secrets and shadows, one intimately acquainted with violence, and whose very love could be the death of them?
Rating: 3/5 Stars
Quick Reasons: great character growth/development; a heart-wrenching backstory; a strong focus on family and friend relationships; a mixed bag of suspense and romance; not a lot of action overall
Now, THIS is more like the Christine Feehan I fell in love with! I'm still a bit disappointed—I'll get to the reasons why in a few minutes—but I liked this read MUCH better than the last two from her, and I have hope things will get back to where they once were in regards to her story telling capabilities.
The characters in this are strong, independent, and supportive in their roles; they battle their own unique struggles, come to terms with the changes and chances thrown at them, and still maintain a clear sense of vulnerability and reckless heart-following. It IS a case of insta-love—or something rather close to it, at least. Maybe…insta-infatuation? That makes a little more sense. So if you're not an insta-love sort of person…well, I don't think the romance genre is going to be for you at all, but here's your warning for this book regardless.
Our main female protagonist, Lexi, has a backstory that is BOUND to rip out your heart and leave you sobbing. She went through so, so much as a child…her emotions, her turmoils with change and paranoia and self-loathing, are a mixing pot of drama and heartache, and readers are sure to empathize with her immediately.
Gavriil, on the other hand, is not such an easy character to pin down. I feel like we didn't get nearly as much from him as we usually do with our male love interests; he fell a bit flat, felt a bit like a stranger left stranded on the side of the road: you know he's there, you know he's got substance and potential, but he doesn't quite live up to it all. This was the first reason I felt slightly disappointed by this read. I like to know both characters equally; in the past, Christine Feehan has made sure to delve into each character and their pasts without reservation. It felt as if Gavriil was a character she maybe hadn't had the chance to get to know so well; as if in the process of writing, he leaped off the page and forged his own path without her permission. He just didn't feel quite as human to me as Lexi; I wish we'd gotten more of him.
There's also not much in the way of nail-biting action. I fell in love with Christine Feehan's writing after reading my first Ghostwalkers novel; the suspense, the action, the romantic sub-plot…all of these things really came to life for me. Having read this novel… It's not quite as action-packed as I've grown to know her for. It's more…a carriage ride through the rain with maybe a hill or two of mud to overcome, where her past novels leaned more toward tornadoes and torrential downpour. While it's not a bad journey, I wish we'd gotten the same level of "action" from this as from past pursuits.
What this book DID do well, however, was focus on things like family, friendship, the determination and willpower that can be found despite being broken down or cast aside. This novel was an awesome example of finding strength in yourself, finding confidence in who you are, BEING confident in being yourself. While the action and some character development were sorely lacking, I ADORED the fact that Christine Feehan took the time in this novel to put a few important morals to the forefront. And while there were a few well-chosen steamy moments, this book did something I haven't seen from Christine Feehan before: it pulled away from the "sex" and instead focused on the creation of healthy, happy relationships. It's like the author decided she needed to take a step back and rediscover what she started writing for…and succeeded. I really love that this book wasn't as focused on the physical, but instead put importance on the emotional and mental aspects of a relationship—and the ways to find/create a lasting connection outside of the bedroom.
Overall, I enjoyed this read about ten times more than I did the last two I read from her; here's hoping future installments from Christine Feehan continue on this path and become even better. Highly recommended to lovers of paranormal romance, and to those who have tried her last few books and been disappointed. THIS is more like it.
Trigger warning: there are references to rape, child molestation, kidnapping, abuse and violence. If these things bother or trigger you, take them into consideration before reading.

There are many different reasons to remortgage and so it is important to understand all of the options available and which will best suit your circumstances.
Are you coming to the end of your fixed, tracker or discounted rate?
If you are, remortgaging can be a way of reducing your monthly payments, or keeping your payments the same and reducing the term of your mortgage.
As independent mortgage advisors we can research the market, compare the costs and charges and assess what advantages there may be in moving your mortgage to another lender.
Many people use remortgaging as an opportunity to consolidate loans and we can talk with you about the pros and cons of refinancing short term debt into long term commitments.
For example, by consolidating you may pay more over the long term but it can be beneficial in reducing monthly outgoings.
We can look at debt consolidation only as part of a regulated mortgage and we can discuss what lenders will expect. It is important to note that we are not debt counsellors and you should seek specialist advice.
Do you want to finance home improvements?
Perhaps you want to extend your home, add a conservatory or upgrade your kitchen. Whatever home improvements you are considering, you may find that remortgaging means that you can borrow a little extra and your costs remain similar to your existing payments.
Why not talk to our friendly and helpful advisers? We will guide you through the maze of remortgage options and help you to find the most suitable product for your circumstances.
Call today on 0161 929 8838.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. Kellands (Hale) Limited is not permitted to give advice on specific debts or provide debt counselling. If you require debt advice or debt counselling we recommend contacting The Citizens Advice Bureau.


The expression "web app" has already been around for some time now and not only inside web development companies. We hear and use it so often we don't even care to remember where it came from. Yet a debate remains on how web apps are different from websites and where the line should be drawn.
working off-line using HTML5 ApplicationCache, indexed database, localStorage, etc.
Are we crazy about apps?
Whatever of the two products you prefer to develop, today we can see a growing number of mobile development specialists targeting web apps. Given the increasing browser support for multiple device APIs, increasing number of programmers getting direct to native using Icenium, PhoneGap, or Appcelerator, as well as Firefox OS launched not so long ago, it's obvious for now that the web is moving the "appification" way.

Small Aircraft Lands on 405 Freeway
In a dramatic airplane crash that shut down the I-405 freeway, a small aircraft dropped from the sky near the John Wayne Airport on Friday, June 30, 2017.
The small twin-engine Cessna 310 was carrying two people when it took off from John Wayne Airport in Costa Mesa, California at about 9:30 am. Shortly after taking off, air traffic controllers reported getting an emergency message from the pilot of the aircraft. The tape of the emergency call to air traffic controllers was recorded and released online. "Hey, we got a mayday," the pilot said. "Mayday, mayday, I'm trying to make it back to the airport." The air traffic controller alerted the pilot to the fact that the aircraft's landing gear remained up, and the pilot explained that he was trying to pull up, but that he "lost his right engine." The pilot tried to turn the plane back around, but was unable to get back to a landing strip in time, and came down on the 405 freeway, which runs alongside the airport.
Despite the perpetual traffic marking the 405, the plane managed not to do more damage than to clip a pickup truck as it came down on the freeway. The driver of the pickup truck walked away with only bruises. Multiple videos soon appeared on social media documenting the plane's crash, as dozens of drivers looked on from the 405. The plane came down hard onto the southbound side of the freeway, spinning and bursting into flames and scattering debris across the span of the road.
The occupants of the plane were a man and woman in their 50s and 60s. They were pulled from the burning aircraft by an off-duty fire captain who happened to be on the freeway at the time of the crash, and whose vehicle was struck by debris coming from the plane. The plane's occupants suffered serious injuries in the crash, but they were believed not to be life-threatening. The two were air-lifted from the scene of the crash to a local hospital. Both the southbound side of the freeway and arrivals at the John Wayne Airport were closed for several hours after the crash.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a plane or helicopter accident in California, contact the knowledgeable and trial-ready Los Angeles aviation accident lawyers at Magaña, Cathcart & McCarthy for a consultation, at 310-553-6630.

Leo V. at BBC
leo November 2, 2006, 8:57am #1
Last week Kris Kremo was in The Slammer with juggling,
tommorow (fri, 3 nov 2006) I will be in The Slammer with freestyle unicycling at a tight stage.
It will be at BBC1 at 16:55 CET.
I'm very curious to the end-result of the only 2:30" long item. As 150 seconds is pretty short, and the BBC was very cooperative and into making quality, we recorded it in a nice way that editing would be pssible for them. And so I've used more studio-time, and hopefully a it became flashy item.
If anyone can record it (especially to avi or mpeg) please do so!
I don't have a VRC (not even a TV), plus I have another performance at that same time.
unicycling on tv
KlownLife November 2, 2006, 9:16am #2
Hey Leo, will look out for that. Good to see someone doing something in the mainstream to promote our sport, personally I think you're a legend and I support most of what you are suggesting e.g. a change to the IUF etc.
I'll try and record it onto DVD but I'm unsure how easy it would be to get that onto the computer.
domesticated_ape November 2, 2006, 9:21am #3
Cool, I thought it would be a longer wait between filming and the programme being broadcast. I'll try to record it too!
cathwood November 2, 2006, 11:10am #4
I'll look forward to seeing that. I can't record it though.
sparrowhawk November 2, 2006, 11:44am #5
sweet…im gonna watch it definatly
unicycling is definatly getting BIGGER
unicus November 2, 2006, 2:25pm #6
This is what tvtv.co.uk says about this episode
The Slammer
Entertainment show in which a group of comedians enter a mock prison. Each programme sees four of the acts perform for their freedom in front of a live studio audience. A showbiz agent breaks into The Slammer, much to the annoyance of Burgess and the Governor. Also, performing for freedom will be McFly, Physical Jerks, Leo the Unicyclist and Bruce Airhead. But who will be released?
The Slammer - Entertainment Friday, 03.11.2006
Start Time: 16.55 End Time: 17.25 Duration in Mins: 30
I've never seen the programme before but I've set Sky+ to record it
kington99 November 2, 2006, 2:27pm #7
I can record it on to my computer in mpeg for you, trouble is if i record the whole show it will be enormous (~900mb for half an hour) I'll try and be in so i can record just your section.
EDIT: The BBC doesn't have anything in its listings about this show, have I misunderstood somehow?
leo November 2, 2006, 3:24pm #8
KlownLife:
Wow, thanks for the compliment. Maybe you can simply copy the DVD?
Otherwise I can give you a FTP login so you can upload the huge file (which will may hours, but hopefully you have broadband).
domesticated ape:
Yes me to, I rather would have announced it some more in advance. So more unicyclist would have been prepared.
sparrowhawk:
Although it was in a art-alike setting, I made sure -with above goal in mind- I had no circus-alike costume or music but my "trademark" costume and simply The Prodigy or Chemical Brothers.
I'm sure the UK will get at least 1 new unicyclist: man, 1 of these kids was looking to me totally stunned (and amazed) like if I was a ghost. I bet we'll meet that guy on a unicycle-convention within 10 years!
unicus:
Thanks. The 1st episode had 1 million viewings(!). They had a lot of positive reviews, and so they expect this one to have about 2.500.000 viewers(!!!). So yes, shame there was no space to mention the UUU. They may get there anyway. I have'nt been performing for such an excited crowd much often before. So luckaly for you the screaming will be sound-processed once you see it. But they were enthousiast!
kington99:
Please do so. Having it digital on the fly would be nice. They already promised me a DVD (and BBC keeps promises much better than any other TV channel I've ever worked with). But I don't know wether that will be in the undesired .vob or the preferable edit'able .avi format. So better be save than sorry. Unfortunly I don't know the order of performing. I was'nt 1st or last, so must have been 2nd or 3th. Still; while cutting they could have made any order they want. Also I think it may be repeated on other BBC channels and even on other broadcasters later this weekend and following week. But I have no idea when/where exactly.
The BBC doesn't have anything in its listings about this show, have I misunderstood somehow?
I also noticed that to!
But today they e-mailed me and told me it was tommorow.
(just like http://www.tvtv.co.uk/ sais).
Everyone who's standby recording: thanks! And everybody else just watching thanks to.
I'm looking forward for your responses, feedback and critics.
Although I'm curious about the end-result myself to, I think I may promise you wont be disapointed. But we'll see tommorow.
It's actually on CBBC not BBC1. I think tvtv has possibly got a bit mixed up but my Sky+ is set to record that episode of The Slammer anyway.
Leo: I can transcode to any format and upload
leo November 2, 2006, 11:37pm #10
All the other episode were on BBC1, and Dutch TV pages also say it's on BBC1 on 16:55 (as times are displayed on that page as CET+1).
But CBBC sounds as a safe choise anyway.
Very appreciated!
keg November 3, 2006, 12:34am #11
My electonic guide on Freeview says it is CBBC, Radio Times website say BBC1. Fortunately my PVR can record two things at once
Apparently my kids watch it, but they are always switching between CBBC & BBC1 so that doesn't help.
kington99 November 3, 2006, 2:06am #12
My PVR guids says it;s on CBBC today, and specifically mentions leo the unicyclist, i've set it to record. I have a 100mb/s connection so i can upload it to an ftp no problem.
annaats November 3, 2006, 2:48am #13
CBBC is BBC1, its just the childrens tv timeslot i think. my tv pages say in the BBC1 column that from 3.25 to 5.35 it is CBBC, and in this it shows The Slammer. Will definately try to watch it!
sparrowhawk November 3, 2006, 3:49am #14
actually its a pity i missed the juggling act
well i see it in the guide and am looking forward to it…what kind of stuff will you be doing btw??
WOOOOOOOOO
good job dude!
i saw you tried to go backwards on the stand up wheel walk thingy but bailed, it didnt look like you bailed at all which is good
Danny_Colyer November 3, 2006, 12:20pm #16
I recorded a couple of programmes last month after it was announced on rec.juggling that Kris Kremo would be on (as mentioned by Leo). It's quite an enjoyable show.
You should be able to find the Kris Kremo clip at http://www.lpbk.net/jugglemirror/The_Slammer-Kris_Kremo.avi
kington99 November 3, 2006, 1:55pm #17
Wow that was amazing, you've got some seriusly tight style. Let me know if you want me to send it somehow, the total recording is 1.02Gb.
Into_the_blue November 3, 2006, 2:59pm #18
I was in the kitchen cooking tea when I turned the TV on and caught the last 20 seconds of your act.
I think it was outrageous that McFly had a better score than you.
All they did was jump around and sing!
Youngsters today just do not recognise talent when they see it.
keg November 3, 2006, 3:32pm #19
Into the blue:
Yes but hardly surprising given music industry publicity machine. My kids (7&9), who were confused why I had recorded the program until Leo appeared, asked if McFly were miming. I've trained them well (I have no idea if they actually sang as I hit the fast forward for their section).
It was an interesting program and a good way to get kids watching variety acts in prime time kids TV. Obviously we didn't agree with the scoring also great to see the balloon routine again, I've seen it live, outdoors, at a Christmas Fete last year on a very cold day…
Even though I knew the result (Leo told us at Lunis) I kept the suspense for the kids.
semach.the.monkey November 3, 2006, 4:31pm #20
I will be in The Slammer with freestyle unicycling at a tight stage.
Tonight was a typical night in my local pub, and I was talking to an elderly couple. They said "we saw TV this eveing and though of you…" so I guessed exactly what they were talking about!
They asked the obvious question if I knew you, expecting me to say no, there are so many uincyclists about, but I had to say that I was playing hockey with you a couple of hours after filming and was chatting on the tube on the way home!
So, thanks to you, I'm even more of a minor-celebrity in my local
(Oh, and they were gutted you was beaten by McFly too, although thought the balloon guy was really good as well)

Yoga nidra (yogic sleep) is a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping. It is a state in which the body is completely relaxed, and the practitioner becomes systematically and increasingly aware of the inner world by following a set of verbal instructions. This state of consciousness is different from meditation in which concentration on a single focus is required. In yoga nidra the practitioner remains in a state of light withdrawal of the 5 senses with four of his or her senses internalised, that is, withdrawn, and only the hearing still connects to the instructions. It is a powerful technique of pratyahara, providing a systematic method for consciously moving into the deeper realms of personality, removing physical fatigue, emotional imbalances and mental tensions, thereby revitalizing and restructuring one's entire life. This beginners' yoga nidra is an introduction to the potentials of the technique as taught by Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati.

Personages
In dit verhaal spelen de volgende personages mee:
Suske, Wiske, tante Sidonia, Lambik, Jerom, Theofiel Boemerang en zijn vrouw Celestien, salesmanager, goudzoekers, indianen, medewerkers multinationals.

Het verhaal

Lambik heeft er genoeg van dat hij almaar moet betalen en niet rijk zal worden als "eerlijk werkend mens", tante Sidonia stuurt hem weg omdat hij zo'n slecht humeur heeft. In de kroeg komt Lambik een rijke salesmanager tegen en als hij in de supermarkt een vrouw voor laat gaan, die daardoor een enorme prijs wint, is de maat vol. Als Theofiel en Celestien Boemerang langskomen, die erg rijk blijken te zijn geworden en in dure kleding rondlopen, is Lambik dan ook geïnteresseerd in het kopen van een stukje grond. Als hij hoort dat hij eerst bomen moet kappen in het oerwoud van Brazilië om bij goud te kunnen komen, aarzelt hij. Maar Theofiel weet hem over te halen met zijn verhalen, en geeft bovendien een vliegticket waarmee Lambik direct naar zijn aangekochte grond kan afreizen.

Alhoewel Theofiel tegen Lambik vertelde vijf auto's te bezitten, komen hij en Celestien bij tante Sidonia aan in een oud wagentje. Ze dragen oude kleding en vertellen dat ze nu "Bewuste Milieumilitanten" zijn geworden en niet meer in de handel zitten. Ze vertellen dat Indianen uit hun leefgebied worden gestuurd door grote multinationals, en als iedereen een klein stukje grond zou kopen zou dat deze multinationals hinderen. Suske, Wiske en tante Sidonia willen dolgraag de indianen helpen en besluiten een stukje grond te kopen in Brazilië. Als ze wegrijden gooit Celestien meteen de zelfgebakken koekjes weg die ze van Sidonia heeft gekregen, ze vindt de goedkope rotzooi vreselijk.

Jerom komt thuis en merkt dat Lambik niet thuis is, hij vindt een briefje waarin Lambik vertelt schatrijk terug te zullen komen. Het briefje is ondertekent met "de bezeten bezitter' en Jerom gaat naar het huis van tante Sidonia, waar hij hoort over de aangekochte grond in Brazilië. Hij vertrouwt Theofiel niet, maar gaat toch met zijn vrienden mee naar het stukje land bij de rivier de Xingu. Als Lambik op de luchthaven in Batida de Oro aankomt ziet hij vele goudzoekers, waar hij al snel ruzie mee krijgt. Hij vertrekt met een prauw, maar door ontmoetingen met een kaaiman en piranha's moet hij aan land gaan. Daar wordt Lambik aangevallen door een Indiaan, die boos is dat zijn land wordt afgepakt door blanke mensen.

Lambik bindt de Indiaan vast, maar de volgende ochtend blijkt hij te zijn verdwenen. Lambik komt een anaconda en een jaguar tegen, maar bereikt toch zijn stukje land. Hij zet het gebied af met borden en komt dan ook nog een reuzengordeldier tegen. Als er al vele gaten zijn gegraven heeft Lambik nog steeds geen goud gevonden, maar hij geeft het nog niet op. Als hij de laatste boom, waaronder hij nog niet heeft gegraven, wil omkappen, blijkt het hardhout te zijn. Suske, Wiske, Jerom en tante Sidonia komen ook aan in Batida de Oro en zien een opslagplaats met legervoertuigen. Een man vertelt de voertuigen jaren geleden van Theofiel Boemerang gekocht te hebben, en de vrienden kopen een amfibievoertuig om de jungle te bedwingen.

In het dorp zien de vrienden hoe een groepje Indianen wordt lastig gevallen, en Jerom komt ze te hulp. De Indianen vertellen dat ze door helikopters worden beschoten om zo hun gebied te moeten verlaten, waardoor de multinationals vrij spel krijgen. De vrienden besluiten de Indianen naar hun stuk grond te brengen, maar Jerom valt in de rivier en wordt per ongeluk geraakt door een verdovende pijl van de Indianen als hij met kaaimannen vecht. Als de vrienden overnachten wordt Wiske beschoten vanuit een helikopter, maar Jerom wordt wakker en redt haar. Het dorp van de Indianen is vernietigd, maar ze vinden alle familieleden en gaan met hen naar het stukje grond. Daar bouwen ze een nieuw dorp, maar de volgende ochtend worden ze weer aangevallen door de helikopters.

Jerom spring in een helikopter en dwingt de bestuurder naar hun kamp te vliegen. Jerom komt aan in een gebied waar enorm veel bomen worden gekapt en vernielt de apparatuur en de helikopter. Grote bulldozers bereiken ook het gebied van Lambik en hij vraagt de bestuurders de boom, die hij niet kan kappen, om te halen. Lambik is dankbaar, maar dan ontdekt hij dat de mannen niet alleen deze boom omver zullen halen. Ze trekken zich niks aan van zijn koopakte en een gevecht begint. Als Wiske water wil halen ziet ze allemaal bordjes, en nieuwsgierig gaat ze naar de overkant van de rivier. Wiske ziet enorm veel dieren vluchten, en ontmoet dan Lambik.

Het bos brandt, en Lambik gaat mee naar de overkant van de rivier. Jerom blust het vuur en de vrienden krijgen door dat ze allemaal voor de gek zijn gehouden door Theofiel. Jerom houdt de bulldozers tegen, maar Suske en Wiske worden bedreigd door de mannen. Dan blijken de Indianen de mannen met gifpijlen te bedreigen, en de mannen moeten zich toch overgeven. Jerom vernielt alle bulldozers en de mannen krijgen een les over de waarde van het regenwoud, die toebehoort aan de Indianen. Lambik is echter terug naar zijn grond en is nog steeds op zoek naar goud, terwijl de vrienden het afgebrande bos beplanten met nieuwe struiken.

De vrienden vertrekken zonder Lambik en tante Sidonia is ontroostbaar in het vliegtuig. Als de vrienden op de luchthaven aankomen blijkt Lambik daar al te zijn, hij heeft zijn stommiteit eindelijk ingezien en wilde niet zonder zijn vrienden leven. Ze gaan gezamenlijk naar het huis van Theofiel, wat een enorme villa blijkt te zijn. Ze eisen hun geld terug en besluiten te blijven eten, krampachtig laten Theofiel en Celestien hun rijkdom zien. De maaltijd kost een fortuin en als de vrienden vertrekken nodigt tante Sidonia Celestien nog uit om langs te komen voor zelfgebakken koekjes. Door het feest zijn Theofiel en Celestien failliet en de vrienden gaan tevreden naar huis.

Achtergronden bij het verhaal
 Ook in het album De koddige kater is Lambik op zoek naar rijkdom, zonder rekening te houden met anderen.

Steven Gerrard SACKED By Aston Villa After Fulham Battering
By Will Stevenson / Football / 1 Comment
0.1 Steven Gerrard was relieved of his managerial duties only an hour after full-time on Thursday night, as Aston Villa was thumped by Fulham 3-0 at Craven Cottage.
1 Who Is Next For Villa?
2 Fixture List Pre-World Cup
Steven Gerrard was relieved of his managerial duties only an hour after full-time on Thursday night, as Aston Villa was thumped by Fulham 3-0 at Craven Cottage.
Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard has come under pressure in recent months. Coming into a fixture against Fulham needing a result to lift the spirits at the club.
With only two wins in the opening 11 fixtures and currently 17th in the Premier League, the writing seemed on the wall for Gerrard if results did not turn quickly.
However, any hope for a spark dimmed quickly as Harrison Reed opened the scoring for Fulham in the 36th minute. To compound the issue Douglas Luiz was sent off as Fulham went on to finish the game 3-0 victors through an Aleksandar Mitrovic penalty and Tyrone Mings own goal.
"You know and I know I'm in a difficult position right now," were the words of a dejected Gerrard post-match and his words were proved correct as the club shortly released a statement after the defeat stating: "Aston Villa Football Club can confirm that head coach Steven Gerrard has left the club with immediate effect."
Aston Villa Football Club can confirm that Head Coach Steven Gerrard has left the club with immediate effect.
— Aston Villa (@AVFCOfficial) October 20, 2022
There were many questions that were posed to the legendary Liverpool midfielder as he was appointed only just 11 months ago, with many believing that the former Rangers boss was a 'risk' for Aston Villa.
In an interview post-match the former Aston Villa boss honestly assessed the situation saying: "I've been sending messages to the fans for the last few weeks because I certainly share their frustration and their pain.
"I'm someone who is honest. I know that they're not enjoying it at the moment, I'm certainly not, so we'll see what happens moving forward. But you know and I know I'm in a very difficult position right now.
"The performance was miles away from what I want, expect and stand for. I understand the fans' frustration and it was so far from how we looked at the weekend. We're in this situation, I'm in it to face the tough questions because the reality is it's not good enough for the club.
"Those decisions are out of my control. I have been around the game a long time, I understand the situation and won't sugar-coat the situation or give anyone false lines. I want to be as honest as I can.
"We'll see what happens moving forwards. But football is in my DNA and quitting is certainly not, so we'll see what happens moving forwards."
Gary McAllister, Neil Critchley, Tom Culshaw, Jordan Milsom and Scott Mason also left the club with immediate effect on Friday following Gerrard's departure.
First-team coach Aaron Danks will take over Gerrard's responsibilities ahead of Aston Villa's next fixture at home against Brentford on Sunday as they begin to search for a new head coach.
Who Is Next For Villa?
Former Tottenham Hotpsur and Paris Saint Germain manager, Mauricio Pochettino is currently favourite for the position as he leads the Paddy Power odds to become the next Aston Villa manager at 4/7 odds.
The Argentinian would fit the Aston Villa job role perfectly as he has proven himself as a top-level club builder in his recent Premier League roles as Southampton and Tottenham boss.
Second in the odds list is former Arsenal and current Villarreal manager Unai Emery with 5/1 odds, followed by Brentford boss Thomas Frank (10/1), Thomas Tuchel (10/1), Michael Beale (13/2) and Sean Dyche (12/1).

Costco Shoppers Are So Excited For This Kirkland Signature Rosé
Noam Galai/Getty Images
By Hannah Cole/Feb. 4, 2021 5:21 am EST
A trip to Costco is already a field day in itself. Sure, a day at the big box retailer might land you some great deals, but it's rare that you leave the chaos that is Costco without a bit of a stress headache.
Take a page out of @costco_doesitagain's book, and snag a bottle of Costco's new K Vine rosé on your way to the checkout. The account shared the exciting find on Instagram this week. At $9.99 per bottle, it won't last long on the shelves. Gone are the days when a single glass of wine would cost upwards of $10 — why not grab a whole bottle?
Costco has long been appreciated for its affordable alcohol selection. Some wine fanatics love to keep this little known secret to themselves, but most of the Kirkland Signature bottles are the same high quality whites and reds you'll find in any vineyard, just marked down and exclusively made for Costco (via Reverse Wine Snob).
Of course, shoppers around the internet are always staking out the best Costco bargains, but this one may just be what you need to alleviate your next post-shopping trip snag.
Costco's K Vine is part of a special collection backed by an award-winning winemaker
The 2020 single-vineyard rosé is receiving all the hype, but the collection offers another easy add-to-cart with its 2019 chardonnay. Both are expected to be available in Costco stores in February 2021, according to Costco Connection.
The site explains that the brand came to light after Costco approached renowned "rock star of Washington wine" Charles Smith. The former "Winemaker of the Year" has been working alongside the retailer to build a private-label wine, exclusive to Costco's Kirkland Signature brand.
K Vine will be a staple in participating stores for some time, says Smith, with a distinct focus on both taste and affordability — two things Costco has already mastered over the years. Smith explained to Costco Connection that his mission is a simple one: "I try to give people what they want and make it two levels higher in quality and two levels lower in price."
The co-branded beverage line already has plans to launch more offerings in 2022 (spoiler alert: It's a red!). In the meantime, we'll be grabbing a bottle or two of rosé just like everyone else.


FootGolf, a newer sport that has created a lot of attention nationally & internationally (i.e. McIlroy v. Rooney Nike commercial), is being added to golf courses all over the state. A close relative of the game the Scots developed, footgolf combines aspects of golf and soccer into one. FootGolf courses run right along side golf fairways, usually in the rough areas of the green. Golf courses around Maryland have started implementing this family friendly sport to their existing course as either 9 hole options or a full 18 holes.
FootGolf is also very similar to golf in the fact that there are pars for each hole, and players want to get the lowest score possible in order to win. Players strike the soccer ball toward the designated hole, where the hole is much larger and deeper than a normal golf course hole. Many of the rules from golf pertain to footgolf; players must wear golf apparel, appropriate shoes, their soccer ball must be easy to identify and so on.
Montgomery County Golf Course has nine golf courses in the area, and two of them have recently added footgolf. Our Maryland Sports staff visited the Northwest Golf Course to try the sport out for ourselves and had a blast while doing it.

Home English Premier League Zidane Set To Replace Controversial Mourinho At United
Zidane Set To Replace Controversial Mourinho At United
Reports in England indicate that Manchester United are willing to cast aside the controversial Mourinho for 3-time Champions League-winning coach, Zinedine Zidane.
Follow this link to join our WhatsApp group
Mourinho's recent media comment has unsettled the club's players and management, having lashed out at the Club board for refusing to sign the players he demanded.
The Portuguese manager had a media outburst after their 1-4 loss to Liverpool in Michigan on Saturday. He particularly criticized the team's young players saying "The atmosphere was good but if I was them I wouldn't have come.
'This is not our team, not our squad. The majority of players that have played are not going to play. Some of them are not even going to belong to the squad. The accumulation of matches is killing progressively my brave boys because I have some brave boys.
'Reinforcements, you are saying players I'd like to buy and add to the squad. That is another thing, but this is not even 30 per cent of my squad, so don't look at this that way.
'We have four or five players that are here because they care for the club, for the team, they try to give everything, even risking themselves because they don't want to let all the kids play by themselves against AC Milan, Liverpool and Real Madrid. They don't want to do that.' He said.
He also laid blame on the 22-year-old want out winger, Anthony Martial for refusing to return to the team a week after camp for the birth of his child "'Anthony Martial, he had the baby, and after the baby was born – beautiful baby, full of health, thank god – he should be here and he's not here."
The former Chelsea gaffer seems to have blamed everyone but himself for every challenge the club had encountered since his appointment in 2016. Mourinho left Chelsea in his second stint as the club manager in December 2015 after a series of disappointing results.
Analyst predicts that Mourinho's relationship with the hierarchy at Old Trafford will continue to deteriorate until the management finally makes a decisive decision on his stay at the Theatre of Dreams.
Mourinho, in his managerial career, has never spent more than 3 years at a club. As he either tends to leave or get sacked due to bad relations with his employers.
Zidane is being tipped to replace Mourinho at Old Trafford, having resigned from Real Madrid after three successful European campaign.
Bookmakers are predicting that the 55-year-old manager will be one of the first managers to get sacked ahead of the new Premier League season scheduled to start on August 10.
Jose Mourinho has only won 2-major silverware, i.e. The EFL (Carabao Cup) and the UEFA Europa League since his arrival to Old Trafford in 2016. Manchester United came second behind city rivals, Manchester City and were trophyless at the 2017/2018 season.

In an interview discussing how her own coming out story became fodder for the Emmy Award-winning episode of Netflix's Master of None, Lena Waithe talked about proudly entering into a room knowing she would make people uncomfortable.
Waithe was asked to expand on this idea of embracing disruption today at the Produced By Conference. She said she's conscious of attracting stares when she enters a room — and that's a good thing.
"The things that make me different are also a commodity," Waithe said. "Being brown. Being female. Having a different point of view. That's something the industry can make money off of. I don't write the Thanksgiving episode if I'm not gay, black and female."
Waithe said studios are eager to buy what she has to sell, because she's making art from her personal experience.
Lena Waithe Redefines Queer Black Narrative On BET's 'Twenties', Talks Being A Truth-Teller In A Hetero World: "I Had To Be My Own Revolution" - TCA
"What I have to sell is my vulnerability, my truth, my brokenness," Waithe said. "And I'm using that to entertain the world."
She was joined in the discussion by her friend, Justin Simien, creator of Dear White People, former NFL Player turned producer Nnamdi Asomugha of Iam21 Entertainment (Crown Heights, Beasts of No Nation), Dan Bucatinsky, Partner, Is Or Isn't Entertainment (The Comeback) and Mel Eslyn, president of Duplass Brothers Productions (Outside In).
Simien talked about meeting Waithe in a television writer's group and his decade-plus long struggle to get Dear White People made.
"Black film at the time was Tyler Perry," Simien said. "I'm looking at this rumination on the black experience. Nobody was checking for that."
Simien was so committed to his vision for comedy drawn from the contemporary black experience that he took his $2,000 tax refund, stealthily filming on the UCLA campus, to produce a concept trailer for an IndieGoGo crowdfunding campaign. He raised $25,000 from the appeal, landed a CNN interview and quit his PR job to pursue his dream. A year and a half after "stepping out on faith," Code Red backed the project — in part, because Simien had amassed a sizable social media following around his original vision.
All the panelists offered various insights of telling authentic stories, especially the ones that come from the most private places. Waithe reflected on the symbolism of the Academy Awards ceremony, where Moonlight literally took the best picture Oscar out of the hands of La La Land.
"They tell us Hollywood is supposed to look like Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone," Waithe said. "At the end of the day, we deserve to be there. We deserve a seat at that table."

Do we need a Prime Minister who supports the Creative Industries?
By Louisa Penny on 1 July 2019
Do we need a prime minister who champions the creative industries?
The economic value of our creative industries is clear – but are they a priority for Britain's political leaders? As the race for the leader of the Conservative party continues and is now narrowed to Boris Johnson or Jeremy Hunt, we ask, how important should the creative industries be to our potential future leader?
National strength of UK Creative Industries
The UKs creative industries have been recognised as a national strength and a priority for industrial policy. From design and advertising to video games, film and music, the growth performance of the UK's creative industries is impressive. In 2017, the contribution of creative industries in current prices gross value added (GVA) is estimated to be 5.5% of total GVA. And in the preceding seven years they grew almost twice as fast as the economy as a whole. They also account for 2.5 million jobs (6.1% of the UK total) and for 11.9% of non-financial businesses.
The Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre (PEC) is part of the Creative Industries Clusters Programme led by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and funded through the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund. It was set up to provide independent research and recommendations to fill the gaps in evidence about the strength of the creative industries and lead to better policies for further growth. They found that out of the ten candidates that were running for conservative leadership, seven have never mentioned the phrase 'creative industries' while speaking in Parliament
Are only occasional references in parliament enough?
"Given the number of candidates standing in the Conservative leadership race, we thought it would be useful to discover a little more about each candidate's position on the creative industries. In doing this, we learned an uncomfortable truth – that the creative industries are mentioned far less frequently than other industries."
Using Hansard, the official report of all parliamentary debates, it was discovered that out of the ten candidates that put themselves forward, only six have mentioned the phrase 'creative industries' while speaking in Parliament, and of those six, only four have mentioned the sector more than once.
"This is all the more concerning given that three of these candidates have previously been Secretary of State for the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and would naturally have been expected to refer to the creative industries, given that it was their job."
Who has championed the Creative Industries more – Hunt or Johnson?
Of the two remaining contenders their mention of creative industries in parliament is this:
Boris Johnson (MP from 2001–08 and since 2015) has never used the phrase 'creative industries' while speaking in Parliament, although on one occasion he made note of the strength of the UK's TV industry exports.
Jeremy Hunt (MP since 2005) was shadow Secretary of State for Culture from 2007–10 and became Secretary of State from 2010–12. He has mentioned the 'creative industries' in the House of Commons eight times since becoming an MP. While he was Secretary of State, the government passed legislation on creative industries tax credits.
Neither are impressive statistics, although it is actual policy being put in place in order to grow the creative industries that is more important than how often they are referred to. However, the fact that the prospective leaders and in particular the front runner, have not seen a reason to mention the creative industries should be a cause for concern.
The future of Creative Industry in the UK
Only time will tell what the future of the creative industries will be. It's a nervous time for all in the uncertainty of post-Brexit Britain and the appointment of a new Conservative Leader. What is clear is that a champion of the creative industries is needed in our next prime minister in order for the sector to continue its essential contribution to the UK economy. Our specialist advisors are on hand for any query you may have related to accounting for the creative industries – don't hesitate to get in touch.

FAMILY PLACED OBITUARY
Gordon Medcalf
GORDON GRANT MEDCALF 1931 - 2012 Gordon G. Medcalf of Kihei, Maui passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 17, 2012 after a lengthy illness. He was 80. He is survived by a brother, Gary (Pat), and sister, Myrna (Robert) Harvey of Bellingham, Washington, three sons, Don (Samantha) of Honolulu, Rick of Lahaina, and David (Olinda) of Washington, and two daughters, Cheryl (the late Les) Reitfors of Hollister, California and Julie (Larry) West of Bellingham, Washington. He also leaves 9 grandchildren Brian, Lori, Ashley, Amanda, Angela, Janelle, Victoria, Bryson and Braden and 7 great-grandchildren Keiffer, Niki, Brittani, Viliami, Brian, Jr., Dylan and Landon and his wife of several years Sue Medcalf. Gordon was born in Bellingham, Washington on March 26, 1931. He opened Mount Baker Coin Company in Bellingham in 1957. In 1961 he moved with his wife Arlene and young family to Hawaii. He ran his original company from Waikiki, then as Oceania Coin Company in the Alexander Young Hotel in downtown Honolulu. Gordon moved the business in 1964 to the Ala Moana Shopping Center. He conducted business there until 1977. Also in 1964 he was instrumental in launching the Hawaii State Numismatic Association's annual convention. Gordon's coin business grew steadily. At the same time, a deep interest led him to become a serious student of Hawaiian history and internationally recognized expert in Hawaiiana, especially items related to the monarchy. He authored several works on Hawaiian coins, tokens and paper money, royal orders and decorations along with royal stationery. He was an ardent researcher, frequent visitor to the Hawaii State Archives, and the many facts he uncovered over the years are still referenced today. He was a frequent consultant to other scholars with similar interests, and a valued contributor to many standard reference books that are still in wide use. During his long career, Gordon also owned a coin store in the U.S. Virgin Islands (1978-79). He managed several stores for a coin and stamp concern out of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in 1980-81 before moving back to his beloved Hawaii where he operated Island Coins and Stamps in Lahaina, Maui from 1981 until he retired from the business in 2004. Some of his children have continued his legacy by following in their father's numismatic footsteps. Gordon was a long-time member of the Professional Numismatists Guild (#120), the American Numismatic Association, the Token and Medal Society (#29), and numerous other professional and collector organizations. On Monday, March 26 a viewing will take place at the Kihei (Maui) L.D.S. Mormon Ward at 10 AM. Graveside services will follow at the Valley Isle Memorial Park in Haiku (Maui).

As we creep closer and closer to auction day, Blockaholics around the country will be placing their bets on who will win season 6 of The Block NZ. We thought we'd get in on the action too and take a look at what we have seen over the last few seasons.
Over the years, we've found that the view ranking of the houses on Trade Me Property doesn't translate to a win on the show itself. In fact, the most viewed property of the season never wins.
Brothers Pete and Andy from season 2 were top of the pops that year and have the seventh most viewed property on Trade Me Property of all time with over 150,000 views but they came in third after the show's auctions.
In Season 4, Cat and Jeremy had the #1 most viewed property and the highest number of watchlist adds but came in tied at second place.
Similarly in Season 5, Niki and Tiff were the #1 most viewed house but came in last place. While the winning duo, Sam and Emmett, had the least number of views at just 10,000.
These stats look like bad news for this year's current leaders, Ling and Zing, who currently have just over 22,400 views, they're followed closely by Stace and Yanita with 20,200 views. Meanwhile, Andy and Nate have just over 19,800 views and Julia and Ali are coming in fourth place with 19,600.
While having great exposure and interest is really important, it's clear that you also need to rely on your real estate agent to get the right people to the auction on the day. Naturally, you need a great property in a good area too. How their auctions pan out will depend on how well they finish their houses and the skill of their agents and auctioneer from Ray White.
More often than not, the team in third (in terms of views) comes out on top, so at this point we're tipping Andy and Nate for the win but there is still plenty of time before the auctions and the other team's agents will no doubt have something to say I'm sure.
If you haven't already, check out Julia & Ali's, Ling & Zing's, Andy and Nate's, and Stacey & Yanita's houses which are live on Trade Me now.

Q: Proving constant function given the second derivative. Prove that $f(x)$ is a constant if it has two derivatives and the second derivative is greater  than or equal to 0.
I know that if $f(x) = const$, its 1st derivative should equal 0, but how can it be equal to 0 and increasing??
EDIT: Forgot to add that $f(x)$ is also less than or equal to 0, :D

A: If the second derivative is non-negative,
the first derivative must be weakly increasing.
It is clear that if $f'(x) \rightarrow a>0$ as $x \rightarrow \infty$
imply that $f$ is eventually positive,
so we can assume that $f'(x)<0$ everywhere.
Now, $f'(x)\rightarrow b\leq 0$ as $x \rightarrow -\infty$,
since $f'$ is increasing. (The case $b=-\infty$ can also be a possibility).
If $b=0$, then the function is constant, and if $b<0$,
then a similar argument as above shows that $f(x) \rightarrow \infty$
as $x \rightarrow -\infty$. This contradicts negativity of $f$,
so $f$ must be a negative constant.

A Brief History of Poker
|In History
|By James Blyth
Poker is one of the most popular games in the world. But how did this card game become such a hit with players across the globe? Let's take a look at its origins and how it evolved into the game we all know and love today.
The First Hand
A great level of debate surrounds where the game of poker originated.
Some historians believe it can be traced back to Chinese civilization back in the 10th century in the form of a domino card game. Others argue that it first came into existence as a modification of the Persian card game called As-Nas.
There is less confusion surrounding when the game was first recorded in the Americas. More modern theories take the stance that this was when poker shifted into the game that is so widely played now.
It rose to prominence in the late 18th century before becoming popular along the Mississippi River by the 1800s before expanding out to the West during the gold rush.
Getting Flushed
It was during this period in the southern US states where poker started to gain an identity like the one we play today. English-speaking settlers in those areas translated the game name from poque to poker. Contemporary rules and aspects of the game were also adopted, including each player being given five cards and a 52-card deck being used.
The ensuing years saw further changes introduced to the game. The flush was added soon after the 52-card deck came into play and by 1850 the draw was also created. During the American Civil War (1861-65) a number of other versions of the game materialized, like five-card variation of stud poker.
Over the next 50 years, poker would begin to thrive. The wild card was created in 1875. Lowball and split-pot poker found their way into the game in the early 1900s. Then community card poker games were introduced in about 1925.
The First Great Poker Invasion
The 20th century passed with poker continuing to be a mainstay on the gambling scene. It wasn't until the 1970s that the game really took off.
Modern tournament play started to appeal to wider audiences. The World Series of Poker was established in 1970 with the legendary Johnny Moss being crowned the first ever Main Event champion.
Strategy books were soon released on the market such as Super System: A Course in Power Poker by Doyle Brunson and The Theory of Poker by David Sklansky. This helped to expose the game to a larger audience. This also saw it become commonplace in popular culture with television shows, movies, and even music using poker as inspiration for content and material.
Things reached a crescendo in the 1980s. In 1987, the US state of California took the landmark step of legalizing flop games of Omaha and Hold'em. This emphatically increased the number of poker games taking place in the state.
Just one year later, in 1988, the US Congress gave the green light for the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA). This allowed casino games to operate legally on Indian lands.
As the 1990s approached, poker was more popular and available than ever before. Las Vegas and Atlantic City attracted millions of tourists every year who treated a visit to the casinos in those cities to play poker as a pilgrimage.
The first online poker room, Planet Poker, was founded in 1998, and in 1999 the iconic British TV show Late Night Poker hit the airwaves.
The Online Poker Boom of 2003
The 21st century came and within a matter of years the entire landscape of poker would change. US poker player Chris Moneymaker sealed an historic victory in that year's WSOP Main Event. It was a watershed moment for the game because Moneymaker was the first winner of the tournament that had qualified from an online satellite.
This momentous moment saw online poker experience a surge in popularity.
Poker tournaments such as the WSOP, World Poker Tour, European Poker Tour, and Latin American Poker Tour drew huge crowds with hordes of players attempting to book their seat at the competitions through online qualifiers. Big-name television networks couldn't get enough of covering these live events.
Poker has suffered its dark days since those halcyon times of 2003. The introduction of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) of 2006 saw participation numbers at online and live events stutter but players still flocked to the tables.
On April 15, 2011, the US Department of Justice indicted three of the biggest online poker sites on grounds of money-laundering and fraud. It took some time before the industry recovered.
Today, online and land-based poker revenues are still hitting healthy figures. The game remains the most renowned classic casino table game and the future is once again looking bright for the game that boasts such a rich history.

1. Determine your public relations goals. These goals can be as few or as many as you need. Just be sure to be consistent with your business' overall goals and mission. Examples of these goals include improving your brand's image or increasing attendance at events held by your business.
2. Know your target audience. Determine which groups you need to communicate with. Who needs to be involved with your business? Whose support do you need? Who will be affected by issues related to your business? Who has something to gain or lose from their relationship with you?
3. Give your audience objectives. Think in terms of the end result you desire, not the process. When communicating with your audience, word objectives in terms of specific results you desire, and what you think is possible. Each objective should cite an audience, outcome, attainment level (%) and time frame. Consider how should your organization, product, issue, or cause be perceived by your audience.
4. Strategies for every objective. In planning, consider how will you approach the challenge of working toward your goals. Strategies here include methods of communication, messages conveyed and other activities related to reaching your goal. These strategies can serve many purposes as you will probably have several strategies for an objective and some strategies may serve several objectives.
5. Tactics for every strategy. Consider how you will use your resources to carry out your strategies and work toward objectives. You will likely have several tactics per strategy.
6. Plan activities. As part of your plan, include specific activities under your tactics that are required to carry out strategies. Activities in this part of the plan include communication methods that you will use.
7. Inform yourself through evaluation. Ask yourself if you are reaching your objectives through careful measurement and observation. Consider public opinions and feedback, since these will give you a different perspective on the effectiveness of your strategies.
8. Materials matter. Determine and obtain what you need to implement tactics outlined in your plan.
9. Create a budget. Be sure that your public relations plan doesn't break the bank by creating a budget. Be sure to include out-of-pocket costs, staff time, transportation, images, materials, etc.
10. Stay on task with a timetable and task list. Creating a timetable and task list will help you to keep track of who does what and when. You can choose to plan backwards from your project's deadline or forward from the start date.
With these steps in mind, you can create a public relations plan to help you best meet your goals. As your business grows, you can adapt your plan to satisfy your needs. If you need assistance creating a public relations plan or implementing the tactics in your current plan, we can help!

Whether it's a bad breakup or just a Friday night on the couch, usually you'd enjoy one or the other: wine or ice cream. Now lovers of the two can rejoice! Mercer's Ice Cream in New York has fused the two together in their own line of Wine Infused Ice Cream.
This is not just 'wine flavoured' ice cream, this is the real deal. Each tub contains a legit 5 per cent alcohol content. So yes, you can attempt to indulge in your favourite sweet treat and still get that buzzing feeling.
Available in 7 different flavours, wine and ice cream connoisseurs can choose between: Cherry Merlot, Chocolate Cabernet, Peach White Zinfandel, Port, Red Raspberry Chardonnay, Spiced and Riesling.
Whilst it's now only available in New York City, you can rest assured that International vendors will be coming soon. 'Wine cream' anyone?
There is no launch date yet for the products in Australia, but you can find out more at www.hmgri.com.au. We await with baited breath!
