The other morning, while perusing the UK’s Guardian, the following headline caught my attention: “Detroit accused of exaggerating $18bn debts in push for bankruptcy”
Digging in, I read that Detroit pensioners, whose benefits ballooned to a $3.5 billion liability could be cut down to 16 cents on the dollar. Go figure, the report said pensioners don’t like that very much. They argue that yes, $3.5 billion is a tidy sum of debt to pay off… but it’s only bad because the city’s income is so low.
“The real issue for Detroit” according to Walter Turberville from the Demos think tank, “is not its debts but declining revenues as a result of its rapidly falling population. The city’s had close to 2 million residents in 1950 and 714,000 in 2010. During the recession, unemployment and the property crash exacerbated Detroit’s revenue woes. Since 2008 the city’s revenues have fallen by over 20%. This year it will have a budget shortfall of $198 million.”
If there’s a budget shortfall, it isn’t for lack of city hall trying to increase revenue. In fact, it may have been revenue grabbing that was the culprit for budget shortfalls in the first place.
As I wrote in The Daily Reckoning pages back in July, when Detroit first declared bankruptcy:
Detroit was the fourth-largest city in the nation. As people left, the tax base shrunk. To keep revenue up, taxes were raised on things that couldn’t be moved out of the city limits, like property.
Because of high property taxes, people stopped improving buildings. Eventually, it wasn’t worth it to pay the property taxes. So people just left for greener pastures in taxpayer-friendly jurisdictions. (As I look out the window of my office here in Baltimore… I can’t help but see the same thing happening.)
It was a Pyrrhic victory. City hall continued to keep up revenues by raising taxes. People continued to leave with their money and businesses. Basic services like police and fire safety suffered heavy cuts — much like my mother-of-all financial bubbles scenario.
The city’s prosperity languished:
Here’s a comparison of the effective property tax rates in Detroit versus the average across 50 U.S. cities.
France, like Detroit also has the problem of not enough revenue. “French farmers snarled traffic into Paris as they drove tractors onto highways to protest against taxes and new regulations” wrote Bloomberg’s Gregory Viscusi earlier this week. “The action is the latest in tax revolts in France, which in recent weeks has seen horse-riding clubs, truckers and small retail outlets protesting against increased levies by President Francois Hollande’s government.”
I recall when I lived in France that the politics of debt and taxes was so ingrained in their society that there was a general strike or greve generale what seemed like every other day.
These things were so common that kids used to actually look forward to them. They didn’t even understand the issues. To them, it was an opportunity grill chorizo in the back of their trucks while blasting technopop right outside of my office on the rue Rivoli. The strikers were happy to not be working even if their strikes didn’t work. And everyone else? They were more or less annoyed that they could travel on the rue Rivoli because of it. Seems like not much has changed.
In France, the top tax rate is 75%. Back in 2011, nearly 12,000 families paid that rate… another 8,000 families paid more than 100% of their income in taxes because of a one-time levy. Maybe that explains the riots. It might also explain why in 2011, there were 10,456 Frenchmen registered as residents of Hong Kong. It used to be that the French headed westward when they wanted to escape taxes. Now, apparently Asia is increasingly becoming the preferred destination.
According to the French Consulate in Shanghai, 40% of their expatriates were working under a local contract in 2008; they were 55% in 2012. Local contracts allowed the expat to stay in the country after their work contract was up.
The larger lesson I’ve taken away from it all? Whether it’s Detroit’s population decline or French expatriation, if you expropriate them… they will go (and those left will riot). As the debt piles higher… I expect that expropriation will be the go to strategy for cash-strapped governments. Luckily for innovators, attracting capital even if the owners of it have been driven out of town.

Jake convinces the reluctant Duane to appeal and wins a retrial where he is pitted against his former boss and bitter foe, prosecutor John Tice. Not to mention the lovely, mysterious juror that turns Jake’s head. What follows is a riveting tale of courtroom drama, suspense, and the exquisite workings of Law and ultimately…of justice.

June 17, 1929 - Jan. 24, 2019 Dr. Philip A. LaNasa, a longtime local dentist, died Jan. 24 in Elderwood at Williamsville in Amherst. He was 89. Born in Geneva, N.Y., he graduated from Bishop Fallon High School in Buffalo and Canisius College. In 1954, he married Jeanette Scaccia. After Mr. LaNasa graduated from Georgetown University's School of Dentistry, the couple moved to Key West, Fla., where he served as a captain in the Navy from 1956 to 1958. In 1958, they moved to Clarence, where Mr. LaNasa opened a dental practice. The couple raised six children in Clarence. "As a family we went on many fun trips that we still talk about," Mr. LaNasa said, in a write-up marking his 80th birthday. "In those days, six children wasn't considered a large family and there was never a dull moment." Mr. LaNasa worked as a dentist for 38 years. He and his wife moved to Florida for 10 years, but later returned to Clarence. In his free time, Mr. LaNasa was an avid sports car … [Read more...] about Dr. Philip A.

Sylvia Ulloa New Mexico In Depth Published 7:43 PM EST Dec 27, 2018 January will mark two years since Lynn Middle School in Las Cruces re-imagined itself. A walk around classrooms and its cafeteria reveals signs of the metamorphosis. On any given weekday, students drop in for healthy snacks or warm clothes in the school’s community room. Parents have access to computers, WiFi and office supplies to apply for jobs. Families and neighbors stop in for staples at a monthly food pantry operated by Roadrunner Food Bank. Meanwhile, a mobile Boys and Girls Club, set up in the school’s cafeteria, keeps them busy and, some say, out of trouble. Lynn is a community school, a model pioneered in the state at Albuquerque Public Schools. It’s an idea as old as the one-room schoolhouse, but with a modern twist. Instead of sending students out into the world to get help for non-classroom challenges, the school brings the world to them.

Brinley Hineman Murfreesboro Daily News Journal Published 12:49 PM EST Nov 20, 2018 A former employee of Dental Excellence owned and operated by local dentist Nate Schott said she and other employees were "groomed" to defraud patients and insurance companies. Debra Clark worked at Dental Excellence for a few months in 2014 but was ultimately fired when she began to question Schott's insurance practices. Schott and former employee Kendra L. Glenn are facing federal health care fraud charges for operating a scheme to defraud health care benefits, the Department of Justice announced Monday. Clark worked at the Lebanon office, first as a receptionist then later in the payment collections department. Although she had a background in credit collections, Clark had no formal training as a receptionist. She feels she was hired to be unknowingly trained to commit health insurance fraud.

A free dental care clinic for people with barriers to getting dental care will take place on Sept. 7-8. Go to www.mnmom.org for details. For people who may not be low-income but lack adequate insurance to cover dental needs, try one of the many local schools that trains dentists, hygienists and dental assistants. By helping to train dental professionals-in-training, consumers save 30 to 70 percent compared to most dental offices. The downside? Getting an appointment may require an extended wait period except for emergencies.

Congrats P!nk – but here are some British females who could have been chosen for the BRIT’s Outstanding Contribution to Music instead…
Which UK female solo artists did the award ceremony snub to give the iconic award to an American?
Pop superstar P!nk has certainly ruffled some feathers this week, after being announced as the first ever international star to receive the Outstanding Contribution to Music award at the 2019 BRIT Awards, to be held later this month.
In the past, the award has been given to the UK’s biggest musical icons including The Beatles, Queen, Fleetwood Mac and Sir Elton John.
Rock bands such as U2, The Who, The Police, Oasis and Status Quo have accepted the honour, also, and solo artist recipients have been: Sir Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Sting, Paul Weller, Bob Geldof, Sir Cliff Richard, David Bowie, Freddie Mercury, Robbie Williams, Sir Tom Jones, Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton and Van Morrison.
Pop acts also haven’t done too badly, with Duran Duran, Eurythmics, Wham!, Bee Gees, Pet Shop Boys and The Spice Girls all taking home the prestigious title.
Even a manager once won the prize, although not just any manager – fifth Beatle himself, George Martin.
So not only is Pink’s addition to this list somewhat of a shock because she’s American, not a Brit, but it also, bizarrely, makes her the first ever solo female to be given the BRIT for Outstanding Contribution to Music.
Understandably, she was thrilled (and surely she can’t wait to get the party started to celebrate.)
The singer – who also accepted a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this week – gushed: “Since the beginning of my career the British fans have been some of the most fierce and loyal in the world. I am humbled to receive this honor and be in the company of an illustrious group of British icons!”
The award hasn’t actually been presented since 2012, when Blur were the recipients, but the promise of global superstar P!nk was, apparently, too much to resist, so the powers that be brought it back just for her.
Although it’s undoubtedly great to see the super talented star – who has sold over 40 million albums since debuting in 2000 – add to her already deservedly crowded awards cabinet, we thought it might be interesting to have a look at which British female icons might have been more appropriately recognised.
Check out our alternatives for Outstanding Contribution to Music, below:
If a Brit had been the first female to win the Outstanding Contribution to Music, it would have surely had to have been the UK’s most celebrated female artist, right? And no one fits that description more than Kate Bush, who blast onto the UK charts in 1978 with the iconic hit Wuthering Heights, which was the first Number 1 hit to be written and performed by a woman.
Not long after, the eccentric star went onto become the first British female to top the album charts too, with her second album Never For Ever. Throughout her 40-year career, she’s received a staggering 13 Brit Award nominations, but has so far only won once – for Best British Female in 1987. Are the Brit awards anti-Bush? Where is her Outstanding Contribution gong? Although, in reality, she’s probably been offered it many times, but has more than likely refused to accept. After all, Kate Bush is notoriously reclusive. But maybe she’ll be inspired to get in there now Americans are winning the award in her absence?
If not Kate Bush, then there’s another icon of British music that surely should have taken the honour before P!nk muscled her way in? Scottish soul singer Annie technically has been given the award, as part of legendary duo Eurythmics, but seeing as Freddie Mercury, Sting, Paul McCartney and John Lennon were all inducted both as solo artists and with their respective bands, we can’t see why Annie should be excluded.
With enduring classics – all on her own – such as Walking on Broken Glass, Why and No More I Love Yous, we expect it will only be a matter of time before her Sweet Dreams come true. Wh—yyyyy—-yyyyy not?
Speaking of dreams coming true, remember Gabrielle? The BRITs clearly don’t. Here’s a star who certainly wouldn’t hesitate to grace the awards stage and accept an Outstanding Contribution to Music award. Some might question whether the soul singer was qualified for such a prestigious honour.
But, once upon a time, Gabrielle one of the UK’s most successful solo females, not only thanks to her classic Number 1 Dreams, but also a string of other hits, such as her East 17 duet, If You Ever, and Give Me A Little More Time in the 90s. Not only that, but in the 2000s, Gabrielle was responsible for one of the most stunning comebacks in UK chart history, when she returned with her beloved 2000 No1 album Rise, which led to a fresh chapter of smashes including its title track, Sunshine and Out of Reach from the Bridget Jones’s Diary soundtrack. Time for the BRITs to give the London star another comeback, perhaps?
No one can accuse Lulu of not putting in the hours. With all due respect, she’s been around since before the dinosaurs. The legend first burst onto the charts with Shout in the 60s, and has been proving her longevity ever since, with hits in just about every decade, which have included Eurovision entries, Bond themes – To Sir With Love was one of the best-selling songs of its year – and memorably her No1 with Take That in 1993, Relight My Fire. Shouldn’t the Brits have given the wee Scottish star a Shout out by now?
Too soon? Perhaps. After all, Adele has only put out three albums in her relatively young but undoubtedly explosive career. But then again, the Spice Girls were recipients of the award, don’t forget, and have only ever put out three albums, also. And they accepted their Outstanding Contribution to Music honour way earlier than ten years into their career, which is where Adele currently finds herself. Obviously, the London superstar’s credentials speak for her, really. Adele is one of the most successful recording artists of the 21st century, with unparalleled album sales; 21 alone has sold over 30 million copies since being released in 2011 and has broken just about every record going. And every record it didn’t break, follow-up 25 did. There’s surely no award Adele isn’t worthy of winning. She did win an Oscar too, remember, for Skyfall!
Dame Shirley Bassey
Forget the Dame at your peril. Shirley Bassey once covered one of P!nk’s signature hits, in fact, when she did an operatic version of Get The Party Started in 2007. Could she now follow in the American singer’s footsteps once again by becoming the first UK female to win an Outstanding Contribution to Music?
She’s certainly a legend. With hits like Hey Big Spender – c’mon, don’t pretend you haven’t belted that one out on karaoke – and Goldfinger – one of her three iconic Bond themes – standing the test of time, not to mention THAT voice, who would dare deny the Grand Dame Diva such a fitting accolade? And, if that wasn’t enough, she was the first Welsh person to ever achieve a Number 1 single with As I Love You in 1958. And, of course, she’s got the range, darling.
This elusive starlet – and band, confusingly – might be considered somewhat of a wildcard for consideration. That is, until, you look at their sales. The British Nigerian singer – whose band shares her name – was brought up in Essex, then went on to enjoy enormous success in the 80s, with two of the best-selling albums featuring female vocals of the decade: Diamond Life and Promise.
They also won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1986. Then in the 90s, they proved to be adaptable, with a well-received comeback, before going on to win more Grammys in 2000 with Lovers Rock. Few would be as deserving as Sade, and, let’s face it, a chilled-out performance of Smooth Operator or Sweetest Taboo would make a refreshing change of pace for the climax of the awards show.

Shares of automaker Ford surged almost 4 percent in premarket trading Tuesday after the company announced plans to invest $11.4 billion in four new US plants — one for electric trucks and three for the batteries that will power the company’s EV fleet.
Ford described the project as the “largest-ever manufacturing investment at one time by any automotive manufacturer in the US.”
The investment from Ford and South Korean battery supplier SK Innovation is expected to create nearly 11,000 jobs across the four sites in Tennessee and Kentucky over the next four years, the company said Monday evening.
Ford said the investment will enable it to produce more than one million electric vehicles a year in the second half of this decade and is part of a commitment to invest at least $30 billion in electric vehicles through 2025.
The plants will support the production of electric F-Series trucks, like the new F-150 unveiled earlier this year.
Shares of Ford were up almost 4 percent to nearly $15 per share on the news.
“This is our moment – our biggest investment ever – to help build a better future for America,” Ford’s CEO Jim Farley said in a statement.
“We are moving now to deliver breakthrough electric vehicles for the many rather than the few. It’s about creating good jobs that support American families, an ultra-efficient, carbon-neutral manufacturing system, and a growing business that delivers value for communities, dealers and shareholders.”
About $5.6 billion of the total investment will go toward a new campus called Blue Oval City in Stanton, Tennessee that will be the production site for its electric F-series trucks in additon to batteries.
Another $5.8 billion will go toward two battery-manufacturing plants in Glendale, Kentucky.
Ford will invest $7 billion and SK Innovation $4.4 billion, the companies said.
“West Tennessee is primed to deliver the workforce and quality of life needed to create the next great American success story with Ford Motor Company and SK Innovation,” Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee said in a statement.
“This is a watershed moment for Tennesseans as we lead the future of the automotive industry and advanced manufacturing.”
The announcement is the latest push by the Farley-helmed Ford into the electric vehicle space and it will help the company concentrate its supply chain in the US amid a global shortage of semiconductor chips that has hit automakers hard.
Other automakers have also announced multi-billion dollar investments in their pushes to go electric and compete with upstarts like Tesla.
Ford’s rival General Motors previously announced plans to spend $4.6 billion through a joint venture with LG Chem for battery production starting in 2023.

I don’t know about you, but I happen to think que Madonna es lo máximo. Her music, her style, her constant reinvention is amazing. She’s always evolving and eternally youthful. You’ve got to admire that.
Fans of Madonna and local fashionistas were in for a treat last Thursday when they had a chance for an up close view of her most iconic outfits and costumes throughout her career. The collection “Madonna’s Fashion Evolution” was a pop up (one day) exhibit at Macy’s Century City hosted by Material Girl Collection. Material Girl is the fashion clothing line from Madonna and her daughter Lola which is sold exclusively at Macy’s.
The outfits were personally curated by Madonna herself. The collection featured her Like a Virgin wedding dress; the “boy toy” outfit which reminded me of the movie Desperately Seeking Susan and which I tried to copy back in the day; the dress she wore to the Grammy Awards when she was escorted by Michael Jackson; and of course, the pink gold cone bra corset by Jean Paul Gaultier that she used during her Blond Ambition Tour back in 1990.
Of course, depending of your age, you may find these items fascinating or not. Those of us who grew up with Madonna find them to be cool elements of pop culture. Ah, the 80’s and 90’s…You just had to be there
Here are a few pix of the event, courtesy of Macy’s and Material Girl for your viewing pleasure. (Note: this is not a sponsored post.)

Writing the blurb for your book is always a nightmare. Frankly it’s easier to write the whole book than that short piece you hope will entice readers to at least click on the ‘Look Inside’ button.
Whenever I’m writing a book I can easily describe the whole plot line in one sentence. This is probably because when I was writing educational scripts for radio and television I had to set out the ‘Aims and Objectives’ on the top of each episode.
I had been taught such boring things while training to be a teacher, but it helped to focus my thinking for the programmes that melded into the topics on the syllabus.
Throughout my rather hectic life, the only thing that got me through the trials and tribulations was my sense of humour – my mother called it warped – but hey, if it kept me sane that was all that mattered.
Maybe she was right in calling me psychotic, for when I retired and started writing books (a whole new skill to learn) I produced books in 3 different genres – memoirs, a comedy and an action adventure series. Wow was this a far cry from the commissioned educational books I wrote for the Big 5 in the 1990s (now that really shows my age. Not many people hop around genres like that. Imagine Agatha Christie writing cookery books, or Enid Blyton penning horror stories, or James Patterson scribbling science text books.
Describing the plots in each of my novels was easy. For each one I’d got my tagline firmly in my head just in case I ever shared an elevator with Steven you-know-who. (Well you never know, he might come to Spain on his holidays one year, he’s got to go somewhere!)
But the blurb, well like so many of us, that took hours but it wasn’t until I came to my latest book that I came unstuck. Yes, the 4th Amie book is like all the others, an action-packed, page turning adventure, set in the African bush, but it has a message. Well to be fair all my books carry a message, hopefully wrapped up in those exciting pages – what Africa is really like through the eyes of a young British housewife – the brutality of a radical religious group – the lengths government will go to to survive. But book 4 was different. The theme popped into my head once I learned about the practice of keeping young girls pure before and after marriage.
I was horrified that so many young girls were at risk, 200 million worldwide even in countries like Britain and incidences in the US are rising.
So, how was I going to sell my book? My main reason for choosing this topic within the story was to raise awareness in the hope that it will help in some small way to raise awareness. So, did I shout about the action, Amie’s missing boyfriend and keep the message under wraps? Or scream from the rooftops that I was exposing a cruel, unnecessary and primitive practice that could lead to distress and even death?
I think in the end I was too scared to broadcast it too loudly. Yes, I chickened out. Maybe as a pure adventure spy story it will sell more books in the long term, and the more readers, the more awareness. It was a see-saw decision – I hope I made the right one.
Have you ever had to make a decision like that?

About the author
Abandoned in the African bush with a 9 week old baby and no resources Lucinda could look back on a childhood of mental abuse, without knowing that before her lay an even more bizarre future. She would run the worst riding school in the world, broadcast live with a bayonet at her throat, be fired from her teaching position and thrown into the media world. She would learn how to lie in the name of propaganda, write about dozens of topics for a variety of clients and have her own newspaper column. She would meet kings and statesmen, international artists and rural Africans. She would win several awards along the way for her scripting and films. Eventually she would reluctantly leave Africa to retire in Spain. A few months later she would begin writing books – eight to date in a variety of genres – and start a whole new career, collecting more awards.
Back in Europe Lucinda met many people who knew little about Africa except for what they had seen in the media. And so, the Amie stories were born, to paint a true picture of the peoples and culture on the Dark continent wrapped up in a thrilling series of adventures which reflect her love for the lands she unwillingly left behind.
Lucinda’s books on Amazon
Book 4 in the Amie series is available for pre-order now. Release date: September 30th 2017.
They told Amie it was a simple look, listen and report back mission, but from the beginning everything went wrong. She is stalked across borders, the aid workers act suspiciously, she’s assaulted, and abandoned in a rural African hut miles from anywhere. What has happened to her partner Simon and can she trust the charismatic Frenchman who befriends her? The discovery of an ancient tribal tradition and a group of young children to rescue, test her skills to the limit. For the first time, she is prepared to kill to protect the innocent caught up in an international sex trade with an extra horrifying twist.
Book 3 of the Amie series.
Amie returns to her beloved Africa and a settled life, but her enemies have neither forgiven nor forgotten her. They are determined to take their revenge and reclaim their honour. The events of one night change everything, leaving her with no home, no friends and no name; no future. Suddenly she no longer exists and those controlling her make it clear; she either obeys or she dies.
Stolen Future is the third book in the ‘Amie’ series – international multi award winning #1 bestsellers on both sides of the Atlantic. From naive, newly-married housewife, Amie faces challenges that change her beliefs and behaviour beyond all recognition.
A fast-paced action adventure, page turning read set in the wilds of Africa in the modern day.
Book 2 of the Amie series.
Amie can run, but can she hide? International terrorists are on her tail, her husband has vanished and people she thought were friends are coercing her into danger. Where is her beloved orphan, Angelina, where is Jonathan and how will she get out of the bush alive?
The witch doctor predicts her future but can Amie believe what she says?
Another fast-paced, action packed adventure sees Amie using all her wits and knowledge to get out of the Dark Continent in one piece.
Book 1 of the Amie series.
Just an ordinary girl, living in an ordinary town, with nothing but ordinary ambitions, Amie Fish is plunged into hot water when her husband is posted to a country she’s never heard of. Amie’s ability to adapt and make a life for herself in equatorial Togodo, lands her in more trouble than she could have imagined, her life is threatened and everything she holds dear is ripped away from her. She is left fighting for her life. If she could have seen into the future, she would never have stepped foot on that plane.

text: The GO! Carefree Alphabet die and the GO! Carefree Numbers die have become some of my favorites. The first time I used them was for numbers in the Winter Bliss machine embroidery. After that, I created an entire quilt top using the Perfect Placement Carefree Alphabet machine embroidery set method. And in this project, a new method for spacing the letters proportionally is shown on naptime name quilts for my twin grandchildren. The letters are machine embroidered onto separate background fabric blocks. When the embroidery is complete, the blocks are trimmed vertically, stitched together, and then trimmed horizontally to create a proportionally spaced name banner. Combining the Carefree Alphabet die and some simple blocks made with the AccuQuilt GO! Qube Mix & Match 8” Block makes this a perfect project for small quilts like these.

West London’s newest gastronomic hotspot, SW7, is located in the heart of Kensington, London. SW7 offers a brasserie & bar style dining experience, in a sophisticated and composed environment. SW7 showcases the best of British cuisine and an elegant cocktail bar housed within the prestige Meliá Hotel London Kensington.
With capacity to seat 74 diners, SW7 is open at all times of the day whether for a full breakfast, elaborate brunch, a quick work lunch, a traditional Sunday roast lunch or a refined dinner.
The contemporary interiors draw inspiration from the nearby V&A Museum, specifically the William Morris wallpaper designs. The textile designer Morris, was strongly influenced by the natural surroundings of the English countryside. Within the menu there is also evidence of famous designer's admiration for blending elements from other cultures with the English style. The feature bar serves a range of signature cocktails inspired by William Morris textile designs, including the two drinks my sister and I enjoyed; the fresh ‘Kensington Gardens’ with Hendrick’s gin, elderflower liqueur and apple juice and the warming ‘Honeysuckle’ mixing bourbon, maple syrup and cinnamon. The bar serves a comprehensive range of spirits, wine, champagne and soft drinks, something for all.
I was invited to dine at SW7 during the launch and had the privilege of meeting the Head Chef Javier Rodrigo Alviz and tasting the Chef's creations.
The Head Chef began his career in Madrid, before coming to London in 2014 to work in some of the city’s most iconic hotel restaurants, including the Waldorf Hilton and Claridge’s. A desire to learn the latest culinary techniques and experimental British recipes later led Javier to join Adam Handling’s team at Frog restaurant in Covent Garden. From here he took up the reins at Melia White House last year, before coming to SW7 where he has fused fresh Mediterranean flavours with classic British cuisine.
The chef surprised us with an asparagus Amuse-Bouche to kick start our culinary experience at SW7. In continuation starters included Burrata with Marzanino tomatoes, Kalamata olives, pine nuts and basil, Rock oyster with Samphire and Calamari with Ali-oli. We were not only impressed by the creative combinations and flavour but also by the gorgeous presentation on the plates.
The main courses at SW7 dance around Europe, including traditional fish and chips; grilled chicken Paillard with aged parmesan, truffles and shiitake mushrooms; herb & pine nut crusted lamb rack with dauphinoise potatoes; wild sea bass with confit fennel and miso glaze and an Italian Blues burger with gorgonzola and figs.
My sister and I were recommended the Lamb Rack with Herbs & pine nuts crust, dauphinoise potatoes, spinach, baby carrots and port reduction and the 7oz Beef Fillet with Portobello mushroom, triple cooked chips, shallot rings served with peppercorn sauce. Two words to describe the mains would be sophisticated and comfort.
The dessert selection is equally pan-European, with crème brûlée, pistachio macaron delight and coconut Panna cotta showcased alongside British favourites Eton mess and banoffee pie.
To play tribute to the British Cuisine we opted for the Eton Mess served with Raspberry sorbet, meringue, strawberries and the Banoffee Pie with Vanilla ice cream, and crushed biscuits. Both desserts were playful in flavour and presentation, a perfect end to a wonderful meal. The head Chef beaming with passion presented us with a sweet surprise, a new creation that resembled Churro balls with pistachio and chocolate shavings to die for.
Whether it is a business lunch or a romantic evening for two, SW7 is up for the challenge and aspires to impress the local neighbourhood of Kensington and the city as a whole. Discover a fascinating fusion of British and Mediterranean cuisine and an eclectic selection of signature cocktails inspired by art and created by the dedicated team; ensuring an unforgettable experience every time!

I have a lot of Macs similarly spec’d, and I began noticing a lot of difference between them, so I set about benchmarking them and comparing the results. I thought I would share my findings with you.
Here are my test machines. All are running Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger, the last version of OS X for G3 Macs.
Lombard PowerBook G3/333 MHz
512 MB 133 MHz L2 cache, 384 MB of RAM, stock 6 GB hard drive
Xbench: 7.74 – Geekbench: 174
Dual USB iBook G3/500 MHz
256 KB 500 MHz L2 cache, 384 MB of RAM, stock 10 GB hard drive
Xbench: 8.54 – Geekbench: 219
Snow iMac G3/500 MHz
512 KB 500 MHz L2 cache, 640 MB of RAM, stock 20 GB hard drive
Xbench: 11.01 – Geekbench: 212
Pismo PowerBook G3/400 MHz
1 MB 200 MHz L2 cache, 1 GB of RAM, new 5400 rpm 40 GB hard drive
Xbench: 12.72 – Geekbench: 226
Sawtooth Power Mac G4/400
1 MB 200 MHz L2 cache, 640 MB of RAM, 20 GB 7200 rpm hard drive
Xbench: 12.75 – Geekbench: 255
Pismo PowerBook upgraded with 550 MHz G4
1 MB 250 MHz L2 cache, 640 MB of RAM, 80 GB 5400 rpm hard drive
Xbench: 20.99 – Geekbench: 360
I was a little surprised by the results. All machines have a 100 MHz system bus and PC100 RAM fitted, putting them on an even more even footing for comparing.
The biggest shocks where the poor results of the iBook G3 (with the lowest L2 cache) and iMac G3. These were aimed at consumers rather than the business market, and it shows in the results. The Lombard PowerBook G3 (which has 512 KB of L2 cache, as does the iMac) isn’t too far behind the iBook G3, yet it has the same amount of RAM and only two-thirds of the iBook’s CPU speed.
Even more of an oddity is the iMac vs. the Pismo PowerBook G3. The Pismo is often regarded as the daddy of G3 PowerBooks, being the last in the range and having official support for Mac OS X 10.4. My Pismo is only a 400 MHz model (these also came in 500 MHz), yet it outstripped the 500 MHz iMac and iBook by quite a lot. It has a 20% lower CPU speed, but the added RAM and, to some degree, the faster hard drive seem to aid the PowerBook very much.
I recently lost my Intel iMac (it died a few weeks ago), so I have been using the Power Mac G4 as my main desktop machine. Compared to the Pismo G3, it certainly feels a lot snappier, and the Finder is more responsive. However, viewing the benchmark results, the Power Mac barely creeps ahead. Both machines have 1 MB L2 cache. I would have expected to see a bigger difference in the Power Mac vs. the Pismo due to the G4 in the Power Mac.
With this in mind, the Pismo G3 is already maxed to its 1 GB limit of RAM, while the Power Mac G4 has only 640 MB of RAM, way under its 2 GB limit for OS X (1.5 GB if you are running OS 9).
The Pismo upgraded with a Daystar MachSpeed 550 MHz G4 processor amazed me. This isn’t my machine. It belongs to a friend of mine (thanks Michael) who has recently restored this beauty with my help, and he pointed out that the MachSpeed website states that G4 upgrade supposedly makes it twice as fast as a standard 400 MHz G3 Pismo.
While we didn’t see his Pismo G4 being twice as fast as my Pismo G3, the results were close to it. We also have to bear in mind I am running 1 GB of RAM and he only has 640 MB. If he were to max his to 1 GB,I think we would easily see it running twice as fast.
While it is hard to compare machines with different variables – some have faster processors, some have less RAM, and some have stock hard drives while some have new ones – we can see a pattern emerging.
Macs aimed at the consumer market and having a lower price tag do not perform as well as those aimed at business users costing a lot more. They also are less upgradeable or at least harder to upgrade.
Could We Change the Results
Some of the test machines didn’t have a lot of RAM. Would maxing these machines to their maximum help?
This is an interesting question. I wouldn’t recommend running Mac OS X 10.4 with less than 512 MB (although both the Lombard and the iBook only had 384 MB), but older RAM can quite often be very expensive, so is it financially viable? Would it change the order of the results?
The short answer is no. The order of the results wouldn’t change, but I think we would see a narrowing of benchmark results between some of the machines, with the exception of the iMac G3. It might creep slightly ahead of the Pismo G3.
If we maxed the Lombard PowerBook G3 to its maximum of 512 MB, I think it would still come in last, but not that far behind the G3 iBook (also maxed to 640 MB). The lower processor and low RAM limit would stop the Lombard from sprinting ahead. But it really does exceed in performance over what you would expect from this aging G3.
The Lombard requires very specific sticks of 256 MB for it to recognise all of it. I had a number of 256 MB sticks that would only register as 128 MB. It requires 16 chip (8 on each side), and the RAM on the underside of the processor card needs to be the shorter (low profile) type, not the large square type that is compatible with the upper slot.
The iMac G3 would creep further ahead of the iBook if it was maxed out to 1 GB of RAM, but purely because it has a higher RAM limit and twice the L2 cache.
The Pismo PowerBook G3 is already maxed to 1 GB, so no difference there, but I think the iMac G3 would creep slightly ahead – remembering that is has a 500 MHz processor vs. the Pismo’s 400 MHz, the iMac still loses in sheer horsepower as it has 25% more processor power but only half the L2 cache, which really seems to let it down.
This Power Mac G4 maxes out at 2 GB – having the highest RAM limit. This gives it a huge advantage and would seriously improve performance and bring it closer to the Pismo G4. However I think the Pismo G4 would stretching out ahead by miles maxed out with 1 GB of RAM – but then it does have a 550 MHz G4, compared to 400 MHz in the Power Mac and slightly fast L2 cache of 250 MHz vs. the Power Mac’s 200 MHz.
One final component that can help a Mac’s performance is its graphics card. The Power Mac is the only Mac in this list with an upgradeable graphics card, via its PCI or AGP slots, although it is limited to 2x or 4x AGP cards. It is also the only Mac with 16 MB of graphics memory. The iBook and Pismos have 8 MB AGP ATI Rage Mobility 128 built in graphics and the iMac has 8 MB AGP ATI Rage 128 Pro. The Lombard has the slowest graphics capabilities with its non-AGP 8 MB ATI Rage LT Pro.
The more graphics power your Mac has, the less it relies on the CPU for graphics processing.
I always believe the more RAM the better. It gives the machine so much more breathing room.
There is more to consider when comparing machines than just the processor speed and RAM, although most people will only take these two factors into account. These results show that machines with the same CPU and L2 cache will perform similarly if they have the same amount of RAM.
Maximum RAM is always something to consider. 512 MB sticks of 168-pin RAM for the iMac and Power Mac are still quite expensive at around £25 each. To max the iMac would cost £50, which is not too bad. However, the Power Mac would cost £100 (as it has 4 slots and is capable of taking up to 2 GB). This is a lot of money considering the age and value of the Mac itself. The RAM will cost more than the value of the machine!
The Lombard can take two 256 MB sticks of 144-pin, which are relatively cheap to pick up. But the 512 MB sticks of 144-pin RAM suitable for the Pismo and the iBook is very expensive at around £40.
One thing to remember when using Xbench and Geekbench is that Geekbench only takes processor and RAM into account, whereas the results from Xbench offer overall system performance, so adding a faster hard drive will improve the results.
I hope this has opened your eyes to differences in performance between similarly spec’d Macs. There is a lot to consider when choosing a Mac – look deep into what CPU version it uses, how much L2 cache it has, what its maximum RAM limit is, how expensive RAM is, and how easy it is to add a faster hard drive.
