Formula One driver Mark Webber says that Red Bull has to qualify at the front in Monaco and control the race, as it has done for the past three years.

The Aussie says that RBR cannot rely on Mercedes taking pole and then having tire issues, as the team has experienced in the last few races.

“They certainly have some Saturday form, which is not a bad card to play at this venue,” said Webber of Mercedes. “Again let’s see how the tires pan out on Sunday. If they’re quite calm and they still have their qualifying pace, then it could be quite nice for them. If they don’t, then there’s options to make it more difficult for them.

“Our goal is still to out-qualify them of course, shoot for pole,Welcome to Michael Kors Handbags Outlet online now. and be in a position where we’re in charge, and not trying to deal with the in the race.

“It’s like serving in tennis, you’re in control of what’s going on to a larger degree,Welcome to Michael Kors Handbags Outlet online now. like I was last year. It was a one-stop last year, and we had to get to that target lap, and we got to that target lap. We pitted,Welcome to buy christian louboutin shoes from our online store.Discover the largest collection of gucci handbags for women. we came back out, and then we nursed the tires to the end of the race. I saved the tyres last year for 95% of the race last year and still won the race. That was the rules last year, but I doubt it will be the rules this year.”

Monaco specialist Webber made it clear that he has mixed feelings about the event as a whole.

“I think it’s a very dramatic backdrop, I love the ocean, I love the cliff faces, just to have a race track here is quite exceptional. But for me in terms of all the small dogs in the handbags and that sort of stuff, it’s not really my thing...”

Taking a different approach, American Kiosk Management — a purveyor of products as varied as yo-yos, handbags and sports apparel that is based in Las Vegas — has grown to 1,000 locations without franchising, relying on company-owned carts and kiosks and state-of-the-art automated vending equipment. Linda Johansen-James, the chief executive at American Kiosk Management, said, “From six malls in 1997, we grew to 300 locations in two years.” She added, “You cannot expand that quickly” without carts and kiosks, “nor can you afford the permanent leasing space. Today, the business she runs with her husband, Max James, which has 1,000 employees and more than $100 million in revenue, mostly sells Proactiv skin care products. And it does so, she said, as professionally as a department store.

“It’s about the branding, having the right product and the right people,” Ms. Johansen-James said. “I have employees who have been working for me for 15 years in specialty retailing. It’s a perfect model for us.” She bristles at the stigma that still clings to her industry. “They call us temporary tenants, but we’re not temporary tenants.” Nor, she stresses, do her employees stray from their posts to accost shoppers — a common criticism of cart-based hand-lotion sellers. “We don’t hawk. We don’t chase people down the middle of the mall. Just like Nordstrom, we treat them like the retail guests they are.Guarantee High quality replica watches supply, Thousands of luxury designer cheap replica watches that compliments your Style.”

In malls where the rents are too high or the foot traffic too low, American Kiosk further reduces labor costs by relying on automated merchandising equipment made by a company called Zoom Systems. The high-end vending machines have an interactive display that facilitates “guest consultations” that help customers choose among the 18 products. The company’s highest-grossing machines average more than $2,000 a week in sales, according to Ms. Johansen-James.
