Coco de Mer
Peter Bay
Coco De Mer is a spacious villa that consists of three separate buildings – a two level great house, a two level bedroom pavilion on the left (west) of the great house, and a very private one bedroom pavilion on the right. You park above the house, descend to a coral stone courtyard and enter into the great room, which contains the kitchen, living and dining rooms plus a half bath. Multiple screened French doors in the great room open to lovely views and the spacious 36 foot long covered deck that runs the length of the great room. Exterior stairs lead to the oversized pool and sun deck and the lower level of the great house with 2 bedrooms/baths plus a full bath for the pool area. A garden path or stairs from the great house lead to the very private fifth bedroom. The oversized 6-8 person hot tub is just below the pool in a romantic garden setting. One of the most unusual architectural features of Coco is the terraced amphitheater that descends from the upper level to the pool deck, with built in seating, Bose outdoor speakers and a central mosaic. The amphitheater makes Coco a superb home for functions.

All the bedrooms have a 23 inch flat screen satellite TV/DVD, and a bedside iHome (an AM/FM stereo with an iPod dock), and a tiled bath and shower.
Coco De Mer is located in the top row of homes in the exclusive enclave of Peter Bay, along St John's north shore. Just below Coco De Mer, but hidden from view, are Coco's neighbors Sea Cove and Delfina, Cinnamon Breeze and Mermaid Falls looks down from upper Peter Bay. Peter Bay is one of the few parcels of pristine north shore land that was not deeded over to the National Park, and today it remains private, peaceful, and exceptionally picturesque, surrounded by the forests, waters and reefs of the National Park. The Peter Bay homes (as of 2015 there were about 20+ homes) all have deeded access to the private beach at Peter Bay, which is located between the National Park beaches at Trunk and Cinnamon Bays. From Coco De Mer it's about a 5-minute walk to the beach and the calm 82 degree waters provide excellent swimming and good snorkeling. On a perfect beach day the National park beaches will host hundreds of people, but it's rare to see even a handful of people on Peter Bay (it's privately owned). The gorgeous views from Coco De Mer look north and east and include the lush mountains of Tortola and St. John, including Cinnamon, Maho and Francis Bays, and Whistling Cay, and Great Thatch. It's a 15 minute, incredibly picturesque drive to the excellent restaurants, shops and groceries in the charming town of Cruz Bay.

Caribbean Villa Comments
- Caribbean Villas Comments:
With its exceptional National Park location, Peter Bay has become one of the Caribbean's most exclusive enclaves of privately owned luxury villas. The Peter Bay collection now includes Delfina, Mermaid Falls, the Cinnamon Breeze, Sea Cove, and Coco De Mer. These Ultra Luxury Villas are all custom built homes, with each having a unique design, furnishings and character, and all are valued in the 5 - 10 million dollar range. Although Coco De Mer is located in a very exclusive neighborhood, it remains a villa of great distinction.
Coco De Mer exchanged hands in June of 2007. Coco's new owners also own the delightful 3-bedroom Cinnamon Bay Estates, a very attractive home overlooking Cinnamon Bay. Coco earned a 5-star rating in 2003, and again in 2007. With its new owners, Coco is quite likely to maintain and even improve on its 5-star rating.
Some of Coco's distinctive features that we think you will greatly enjoy include;
- Its top row position in lower Peter Bay. Coco has one of the best views of the beautiful light show that takes place almost daily in Cinnamon Bay. The bay's white sands give its waters a brilliant turquoise color, but as puffy white clouds skate across the sky, the cloud shadows change patches of water from bright turquoise to blue-green to blotches of ink blue. Each day is different, but from about 10 am to 3 pm Mother Nature usually puts on a spectacular show, and Coco De Mer has the best spot to view this fascinating display of tropical colors.
- Its sun factor. This is a villa for lovers of the big pool and big sun. The pool and sun deck are blessed with a daily dose of 6 - 8 hours of sun, making this 50 foot pool not only Peter Bay's largest, but also its sunniest. Bring the iPod; Coco has outdoor speakers above the pool.
- The hot tub. The 6 - 8 person hot tub is also oversized and is hidden in a sinfully private garden setting, a half level below the pool. When the sun goes down, this is a very romantic hideaway.
- The landscaping. Coco De Mer is especially well landscaped with many beautiful species of tropical plants, including the Coco De Mer palm. The lush vegetation gives areas of Coco a botanical garden setting, coupled with some lovely clothing optional privacy and seclusion.
- The amphitheater. It overlooks the pool and the beautiful views and is a unique architectural feature that makes Coco an ideal home for small private weddings or special functions.
Coco's 5-bedrooms comfortably accommodate guests in near equal luxury and privacy, while also providing elegant and relaxing areas where everyone can socialize. Coco is what we call a magnet villa, it's so accommodating and enjoyable that you have neither reason nor desire to leave the house; it holds you in place like a magnet. But with its beaches, reefs, hiking trails, and boating, St. John beckons, and the delightful shopping, restaurants, people and atmosphere of Cruz Bay are a very scenic 10-15 minute drive.
We continue to definitely recommend Coco De Mer for couples, groups, business meetings, functions and families with children over 6 years of age. No smoking inside the house, please.
Other Amenities; wireless DSL, 23 inch flat screens in all bedrooms, DVD player, CD player, movies and music, books, games, safe, beach chairs and coolers, highchair and crib/playpen.
Construction: As is true in any popular destination, construction of a new home continues in Peter Bay Estates. As of December 2014, there is a new construction site starting. We anticipate construction noise and possibly periodic construction traffic interruptions that could affect the Peter Bay neighborhood. If you would like further details on the current status of this building activity, please inquire and we'll be happy to obtain the latest information for you.

I hope you've had a great Monday! It's absolutely gorgeous in Dallas today; it feels just like spring and I'm soaking it up!
Since it is so pretty, I decided to take this sweet boy on his very first walk this morning. We did a mile around our neighborhood and man, it felt good to lace up my tennis shoes and sweat. {Granted, I sweat like no other at night, but it felt good to sweat on my own accord. Ha!} I can't wait to get the go-ahead at my six-week appointment to work out!
Anyway, Walker was such a sweetie and slept the entire time, so I'll just say that he loved it, too. :)
I wanted to share with y'all a delicious breakfast {or snack!} recipe that my mom introduced me to when she was here right after Walker was born: fruit, granola and yogurt parfaits. I know these are so easy and simple, but I never really thought about doing them at home.
Like I said, it's easy: in a stemless wine glass {because, why not?!} combine: Sunbelt Bakery Simple Granola, one small container Activia Vanilla Yogurt, and mixed berries. I use sliced strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries. Just mix it all together and enjoy!
To make it easier for me in the mornings, I wash all the berries, slice the strawberries, and store them in a Tupperware container in the fridge once I get home from the grocery store.
Happy Monday!

The Glorious Triumph Of Science: What Does It Mean For A Common Man?
On 11 February 2016, Executive Director of LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, one of the most sensitive detectors in US) David Reitze, in a recorded statement made the announcement that they have positive evidence of having heard the presence of a minute gravitational waves caused by spiraling two black holes 1.3 billion light years away from Earth. They also said that this confirmed one of Einstein's predictions as a result of his own General theory of relativity a century ago. A team of over 1,000 researchers from 15 countries, led by scientists at the Caltech and MIT, published their work in Journal of Physical Review Letters.
Physicist Dr Robbert Dijkgraaf, director of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J., where Einstein himself once worked said, "They picked up this minute tremble in space, but it is totally shaking up the field of science". He added, "It is confirming the ideas of one of the most brilliant minds that ever lived".
However, this significant detection is the not the first of its kind. In 1993, two Princeton University researchers Russell A. Hulse and Joseph H. Taylor Jr won the Nobel Prize for their discovery of an unusual pulsar star that offered indirect evidence of gravitational waves. Again, in 2014, astronomers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics thought that they have spotted gravitational waves but very soon they went back to their labs saying they haven't, yet.
Now, we know something of the world famous icon of the theoretical physicists Albert Einstein, but what are these gravitational waves and why it matter so much to the world? Let's try to understand.
Einstein, the genius, as the world knows him today, is known largely due to the two scientific papers he had published. One, Special theory of relativity in 1905, which redefined the way scientists understood the notion of space and time forever, and second, the General theory of relativity (= Special theory + gravity) that came out in 1915 and changed the way scientists understood gravity as well.
Until now, gravity to the world was as told by Newton. But Einstein's general relativity theory does not agree with the Newton's theory of gravity where gravity is the force of attraction between two massive objects. In Einstein's world, gravity is the result of the bending of space time curvature due to a massive object. The two objects are attracted towards each other, and look like revolving around each other, due to this dent in the curvature. In other words, the lighter object moves more rapidly towards the heavier one, thus giving rise to an allusion that it is actually revolving around the massive one. In the same way, all planets revolve around the Sun due to the mass of the Sun creating the dent in the space-time curvature around it. Since the massive objects also move in the space-time – the curvature changes to reflect the changed locations of those objects and hence the allusion of one object revolving around each other (and not eventually collapsing into it) sustains.
Further, the more the mass of the object, the more the dent in the curvature and hence the farther the gravitation effect it will pose on distanced planets and objects in the universe. Now, if the object is even more massive and accelerating too, the curvature in the space-time that it creates will propagate as well. These propagating phenomena are known as gravitational waves.
Meet the physicists who lost their bet on #gravitationalwaves – and couldn't be happier: https://t.co/nZBDeyDNn4 pic.twitter.com/MBovLHdemm
— BBC Science News (@BBCScienceNews) February 15, 2016
By Einstein's reasoning, any object with mass, such as black holes or binary neutron stars, could warp the curvature of space and time, like a bowling ball on a trampoline, stirring the fabric and generating waves that radiate at the speed of light. And wherever these waves go, they will affect the movement of the objects in their path, just like the curvature keeps the smaller object rotating.
Now in physics terms, it is extremely difficult to measure the changed movement of object due to these waves. But just as we can measure the displacement of water in water body, we can measure the displacement of something that is not massive and yet should be displaced – the Light.
The LIGO detectors measure how long it takes for controlled laser light to travel between two of its suspended mirrors. If Space time is rippled, the distance measured by the light beam will change causing the amount of light falling on the LIGO photodetectors to vary infinitesimally. This displacement of LASER detected by LIGO can confirm the presence of such waves being sent out to Earth.
(The sound of these waved can be heard here: http://nyti.ms/1Pz5kE6)
For the scientists and the astronomical world at large, the consequences are immense and astounding. Since G-Waves are largely unimpeded by matter, they can reach places where EM waves cannot. A lot of events in the universe must be sending these waves out owing to the very nature that the entire universe is actually seen as a space-time fabric- with Earth as well just an object in its course. And since now we know that they exist and we know how to detect them successfully – we now have a 'google map' to unknown areas of the universe which are not yet accessible but could be sending out 'we exist' signals to us in the form of these waves.
But what lies in it for the common man, other than the excitement to have the possibility to know the other far sides of the universe?
To answer this question, we may have to study Einstein's mind more than his theories, or for that matter, the mind of any scientist who assumes that exploring nature and understanding our universe without any end to it can be a fulfilling end in itself.
Einstein was never awarded the Nobel prize for any of his Relativity theory but for other great inventions that he did, including the photoelectric effect, which has the potential to change the lives of millions in a more potent and visible way. From a student who never enjoyed studying humanities subjects at school to a true humanist who would turn down the offer to become Israel President in order not to give any less importance to the more objective work at hand – Physics, Einstein eventually saw the universe as something that must be explored and explained and saw such theories as something that contains 'the thoughts of God'. Einstein was the man who found peace only in two things in his life, working on the grand unified theory after late 30s till the end of his life (although it did gave him nightmares too) and music, being a good violin player himself.
But what caused Einstein to think so much ahead of his time and imagine things that weren't there even in the wildest imaginations of the most celebrated scientists of his time, baffles cognitive scientists and neuro-biologists equally until today. Was it the extra packed part of his brain (that is still lying half cut in New Jersey, logically undefeated) or was it just a highly God-gifted mind, who knows? Not only a genius, but the confidence of Einstein over his theories was very immense. This cannot be better asserted than this anecdote that when he was asked once how he'd feel if relativity, and that the consequence of space as seen as the curve that could cause bending of starlight around the sun was disproved by the eclipse experiment that astronomers undertook in 1919 solar eclipse, Einstein famously replied: "Then I would feel sorry for the dear Lord. The theory is correct anyway."
To Einstein's most profound general relativity theory's consequence – gravitational wave, an idea Einstein himself doubted (more or less like Quantum physics), detected using LASER (a discovery that uses Einstein's another idea only – stimulated emission), well, honestly, I don't know of any other 'seriously charming' way that irony can possibly have, to play with geniuses even long after they are gone.
We probably have to wait for a few more centuries before Science becomes just as popular and intriguing to us, the common man, as Albert Einstein was to Science itself.

Its no secret to our regular readers that Im a huge wine fan. So when I received a request to review another white from one of my favorite regions in Italy Soave I didnt hesitate to accept.
Soave is one of our favorite areas of Italy, with its proximity to A4, romantic wine road and relatively easy access to and from other fun tourism areas in northern Italy, such as Lake Garda and its islet of Sirmione, Shakespearean Verona and classic Venice. So how did our review of Si Soave DOC turn out?
First impressions: With its sexy curved bottle and translucent lettering it catches your attention right off the bat as a chic, modern dinner beverage you cant wait to try. While other wines from the region, although tasty, tend to be milder and better suited to more subtle flavor pairings, this wine held up to a stronger pasta and vegetable dish.
Pasta pairing: We enjoyed Si Soave DOC with a penne dish loaded with garlic, extra virgin olive oil, robust sundried tomatoes and sautéed baby portabellas on a bed of organic arugula and spring greens mix topped with shaved pecorino Romano cheese. Pretty hefty flavors for a veggie-based pasta dish by anyones standards.
Results: The wine held up fine and maintained its full flavor throughout the meal. We would recommend this white for any pasta and veggie dish sans tomato sauce, as well your favored shellfish entrée or even an after-work cheese tasting.

The 11th People of Colour in Sci Fi & Fantasy Blog Carnival had part one up on July 2nd; The Eye of the Beholder. It was a discussion that went on for a few days about things PoC see as representative of themselves that all too often are used in SF worlds to represent the alien. There's a bit near the end about characters coded as black or who could be interpreted as black. Honestly, I would have loved to get more information on characters that are coded NDN, or Asian (East or South) among other groups.
Part two of the Carnival is out. It's quieter and much much smaller than the discussion that preceded it. But it speaks of that unique, sometimes warped visibility as well, with a piece by Ciderpress of Livejournal who gives one voice to the set that was missing. Ciderpress talks of degrees of othering and alienation.
... there are times when *everything* I do is regarded as exotic, as 'foreign', as East Asian for a given value of "East Asian". And it's not just the stuff I do that's not "default" or "normal" for society at large, it's the normal stuff I do that lots of white people in society do, too.
Part two of the 11th Carnival also involves links to STEAMFASHION and a member there who discusses his interpretation of the fashion and the genre and how he tries to pull in aspects of imperialism and colonialism and the native cultures lost or dominated by them. So seriously check out the piece by lj user Anachronaut. His costuming is beautiful and provocative and thoughtful and his comments in threads at the link are just as insightful.
And finally there's Bibliophile Stalker on WordPress about The Philippines In Western Speculative Fiction.
Check it out.
But to the Carnival I'd like to add a few links
Debunking White Fantasy by Bankuei. His entry brought up aspects I hadn't realized I'd absorbed when it came to PoC representation on SF. Which is that all too often the PoC characters or the nation representing them are ghettoized/marginalized into having cultural markers, stereotypical markers, that say 'this is what a PoC culture is' / 'this is who PoC are' no matter what. Whereas white characters aren't limited to being from mock Northen European cultures. They can come from anywhere and be anything.
Complimentary to that entry is one by Naamen, Terminology - Savagification! I think the title itself is the best summary as to what that's about. Combined with Naamen's other essay Hollywood Stop Whitening Characters! No Really! Stop It! and in particular the link and quotes within it regarding Neil Gaiman's Anasi Boys.
Can you see the picture being drawn? About how PoC in SF, if represented at all among the 'normal' Northern European background and characters; they are Other, Exotic and quite often Savage (as in the savage enemy).
Next: IBARW & The WoC & Beauty Carnival. The PoC in SF Carnival will return in September.

Pat Flynn was the one to deliver this speech. I am not passionate about affiliate marketing (let's say I actually hate it), but he was amazing. One of the best speeches of the day.
Bad vs. Good affiliate marketers: the good ones want to help, not just to cash out. Try to help your readers. The more you care, the more you earn. Do affiliate marketing to help people, not just to earn, so that it's not bad.
TRAFFIC -> relationships -> products -> experience -> proof -> seal -> MONEY
RELATIONSHIPS – if you cannot forge relationships, you won't make transactions. If people don't trust you, they won't share or buy.
1. Be personable – put your image/photo, let them see you and your personality.
2. Tell stories – people connect to emotions. Talk about your experiences, your problems.
3. RAOK – Random Acts Of Kindness – reply to comments, visit your commenters' blogs and post a comment there. You need to be real, help them and then you'll get paid more.
Precision – recommend the RIGHT products. There are people who turned 'bad' and stopped having their readers interest in mind just for the money.
Ask yourself: what do you want your visitors to ultimately achieve? How do they get there?
Don't start with the product, start with the good it can do.
Experience – the experiences are very important. Poeple take such information into account, even if the recommendations don't come from people whom they know.
Experience SELLS
USE THE PRODUCTS. If you promote something, you need to have used it before yourself.This is a reflection on your brand, so make sure you do promote good stuff.
You use it
1. for your protection
2. to become a resource
3. to get rid of the mystery.
Show your readers EVERYTHING: what's good, bad, videos etc. Unbox the products you're gonna sell as an affiliate.
Offer tangible proof. As an example: a documentary on Netflix – Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead – a guy who's dealing with various health issues from being obese is documenting his weight loss based on a fruit/vegetable juice he's fasting on. It's so compelling it makes you buy that juice, after seeing his results.
You can use various platforms. The guy had a documentary, you can use podcasts, blogs etc.
You need to have an affiliate link. Be honest, tell your readers it's an affiliate link. If they don't know it, they might not click on it. If they do, they will probably make sure they click on it to help you.
Provide support. You can also mention it to the visitors, so they know they can get some help from you. This could also convince them to follow your link.
Provide more opportunities for them to click. You should have links at the beginning, middle and end of the article. You can use more platforms: blog, youtube, email etc.
Offer your visitors a bonus. An e-book, a guide for a tech product for instance. The bonus should complement the product / service and convince people to go through your link rather than other links.
Never forget to HELP people. Offer products that work and you experienced.

bill-swift - August 4, 2012
I don't know how Greco-Irish-British music star and X-Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlosturned herself from a brooding dark enigma of a figure into a hot buxom blonde bikini hottie, but she sure done did it.
Tulisa had been filming her new bikini-clad video in Hawaii for the past few days, now back in L.A., she wasted no time taking her blonde locks and freshly cleavetastic hot body in a little bikini down to the hotel pool to soak up some rays and allow the photogs to snap the shizz out of her new found glories.
When you got it, flaunt it, baby. Enjoy.

The MMQB presents NFL 95, a special project running through mid-July detailing 95 artifacts that tell the story of the NFL, as the league prepares to enter its 95th season. See the entire series here.
The Cleveland Browns, one of two non-expansion teams never to have appeared in a Super Bowl (Detroit is the other), have long been known for their bad luck and general lack of success. But there was a time, and a very long period, when the Browns were NFL royalty.
When Paul Brown formed the Browns in 1946, he made Northwestern tailback Otto Graham his first signing and immediately converted him to quarterback. Brown, Graham and the Browns would have an unprecedented run of success, appearing in the league championship game in all 10 of Graham's seasons. He won five straight titles to open his career and seven overall.
Graham wore two numbers during his career. First was No. 60, which he wore until 1953 when the NFL issued its first mandate that positions would be required to wear certain numbers. Graham wore No. 14 after that but didn't want a new jersey. So you can still see the faint stitching of 60 underneath his 14 jersey on display at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Scene unfolding4th April 2017 0 By the925alternative
The scene was now beginning to unfold in my head. Picture your usual Indiana Jones evil cult in the middle of a wood with your band of soldiers waiting to attack. Wilhelm and Helmvich lead the charge, beating back the cultists and looking as if they are defeating Khazar's fanatics. They manage to rescue Emile, and she is pulled out. Given to Heinrich to escape, but then the tables turn. Khazar's magic is complete and he starts to turn, gaining magical abilities that defeat the soldiers. Now it is about survival; will they or won't they?
Oddly enough, I think the book only spans over a day and I don't plan on making the sequel much longer. There's about three 'acts' in it, with this short scene and the flight from Darkwoods as my first. Wilhelm turns to fighting Khazar to try and defeat him, whist allowing the rest to escape. Helmvich gets Emile to Heinrich and tries to buy them time whilst the Lord's daughter and the young soldier escape.
Oddly I had quite a structure to each chapter. Each would be based from five character's views and each view would be about five hundred words long. Though this became a guideline (there were certainly moments when I went over five hundred) and later I would write about a character's opinions twice in one chapter, it pretty much stuck and worked throughout the book.

Tadalis SX is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Erections are caused by the increase of blood flow to the penis. Tadalis SX works by expanding the arteries in the penis, so that blood flows into the penis, and constricting the veins leading out, so that more blood flows in and less flows out, leading to a sustained erection.
Use Tadalis SX as directed by your doctor.
- Take Tadalis SX by mouth with or without food.
- For using as needed: Tadalis SX is to be taken at least 30 minutes before sexual activity, as directed by your doctor. Tadalis SX' effects can last for up to 36 hours after taking.
- For daily use: Take Tadalis SX regularly at about the same time each day.
- Check with your doctor before you eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while you are taking Tadalis SX.
- You should not take more than one dose every day.
- If you miss a dose of Tadalis SX, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Tadalis SX.
Store Tadalis SX at room temperature away from moisture, heat and light (between 59 and 86 degrees F (15-30 degrees C)). Store Tadalis SX out of the reach of children.
Active Ingredient: Tadalafil.
Tadalis SX is chemically identical to tadalafil, but differs in appearance, such as shape and color, and packaging.
Tadalis SX works differently for different people; sometimes it works as quickly as a half an hour, sometimes up to an hour.
Do NOT use Tadalis SX if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Tadalis SX
- you have severe kidney or liver problems, certain hereditary eye problems (eg, retinitis pigmentosa), or if you are on dialysis
- you have pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD)
- you take a nitrate (eg, isosorbide, nitroglycerin) in any form (eg, tablet, capsule, patch, spray, ointment), or nitroprusside
- you take another medicine that contains tadalafil, another PDE5 inhibitor (eg, sildenafil, vardenafil), an azole antifungal (eg, itraconazole, ketoconazole), or rifampin
- you use certain recreational drugs called "poppers" (eg, amyl nitrate or nitrite, butyl nitrate or nitrite).
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Some medical conditions may interact with Tadalis SX. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have a history of a prolonged (more than 4 hours) or painful erection (priapism)
- if you have a deformed penis (eg, Peyronie disease, cavernosal fibrosis), certain blood cell problems (eg, sickle cell anemia, leukemia, multiple myeloma), or other conditions that may increase the risk of a prolonged or painful erection (priapism)
- if you have low blood pressure, uncontrolled high blood pressure, blood vessel problems, angina (chest pain), heart problems (eg, heart valve disease, congestive heart failure, irregular heartbeat) or a history of these conditions
- if you have a history of heart attack, stroke, life-threatening irregular heartbeat, liver or kidney problems, dialysis, ulcers, or bleeding problems
- if you have a history of eye or vision problems (eg, decreased vision or vision loss, optic nerve problems, retina problems) or hearing problems (eg, ringing in the ears, decreased hearing, hearing loss)
- if you take medicine for erectile dysfunction (ED).
Some medicines may interact with Tadalis SX. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Alpha-blockers (eg, doxazosin), medicines for high blood pressure, or nitrates (eg, isosorbide, nitroglycerin) because severe low blood pressure with dizziness, lightheadedness, and fainting may occur
- Azole antifungals (eg, itraconazole, ketoconazole), HIV protease inhibitors (eg, ritonavir), macrolide antibiotics (eg, erythromycin), or telithromycin because they may increase the risk of Tadalis SX's side effects
- Barbiturates (eg, phenobarbital), bosentan, carbamazepine, hydantoins (eg, phenytoin), or rifampin because they may decrease Tadalis SX's effectiveness.
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Tadalis SX may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
Important safety information:
- Tadalis SX may cause dizziness, drowsiness, fainting, or blurred vision. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Tadalis SX with caution. Do not drive or perform other possible unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
- Tadalis SX may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting; alcohol, hot weather, exercise, or fever may increase these effects. To prevent them, sit up or stand slowly, especially in the morning. Sit or lie down at the first sign of any of these effects.
- Do not drink large amounts of alcohol (eg, 4 or 5 drinks or more) while you take Tadalis SX. Doing so may increase your risk of dizziness, headache, fast heartbeat, and low blood pressure.
- Patients with heart problems who take Tadalis SX may be at increased risk for heart-related side effects, including heart attack or stroke. Symptoms of a heart attack may include chest, shoulder, neck, or jaw pain; numbness of an arm or leg; severe dizziness, headache, nausea, stomach pain, or vomiting; fainting; or vision changes. Symptoms of a stroke may include confusion; vision or speech changes; one-sided weakness; or fainting. Contact your doctor or seek medical attention right away if you experience these symptoms.
- Tadalis SX may rarely cause a prolonged (eg, longer than 4 hours) or painful erection. This could happen even when you are not having sex. If this is not treated right away, it could lead to permanent sexual problems such as impotence. Contact your doctor right away if this happens.
- Tadalis SX may uncommonly cause mild, temporary vision changes (eg, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, blue/green color tint to vision). Contact your doctor if vision changes persist or are severe.
- Rarely, an eye problem called nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) has been reported in patients who took Tadalis SX. This may lead to decreased vision or permanent loss of vision in some cases. If you notice a sudden decrease in vision or loss of vision in one or both eyes, contact your doctor right away.
- Sudden decreases in hearing and loss of hearing have been reported in some patients who have taken Tadalis SX. Sometimes they also noticed ringing in the ears or dizziness. If you notice a sudden decrease or loss of hearing, contact your doctor right away.
- Do not use medicines or treatments for ED while you are taking Tadalis SX without first checking with your doctor.
- Use Tadalis SX with caution in the elderly; they may be more sensitive to its effects.
- Use Tadalis SX with extreme caution in children younger 18 years; safety and effectiveness in children have not been confirmed.
All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects.
Check with your doctor if any of these most common side effects persist or become bothersome:
Flushing; headache; heartburn; mild pain in the arms, legs, or back; muscle pain; nausea; stomach upset; stuffy nose.
Seek medical attention right away if any of these severe side effects occur:
Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); chest pain; confusion; fainting; fast or irregular heartbeat; memory loss; numbness in arm or leg; one-sided weakness; prolonged, painful erection; red, swollen, blistered, or peeling skin; ringing in the ears; seizures; severe or persistent back or muscle pain; severe or persistent dizziness; severe or persistent vision changes; shortness of breath or wheezing; slurred speech; sudden decrease or loss of hearing; sudden decrease or loss of vision in one or both eyes; sudden, severe headache or vomiting.
This is not a complete list of all side effects that may occur. If you have questions about side effects, contact your health care provider.

Connecting with an alumnus has made a big difference for students involved in Whitman's Club Latino.
Four group members were able to attend the 15th Annual Harvard Latino Law, Policy and Business Conference in April 2012 after Adam Delgado '12 received an informal invite from Pedro Galvao '10, an alumnus of both Club Latino and Whitman's State of the State for Washington Latinos course. Galvao, who now studies at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, was one of the primary organizers of the conference. This year's focus was "The Rising Latino: Latinos in the United States and Latin America on the World Stage."
"Inviting the Whitman contingent to attend was one of the best highlights of the conference," said Galvao. "I really enjoyed reconnecting with Whitman through the group. Through several meals that we shared, I was happy to learn that Club Latino is still putting together some of its best initiatives, like its annual shadow day for Latino students in the community."
In addition to Delgado, club President Cynthia Ramos '14, Ashley Hansack '15 and Leslie Rodriguez '15 attended the conference. Delgado said he was pleased that younger students were able to take part, since they are the future leadership of Club Latino.
"I hoped to include rising club leaders," he said. "It helps them to see what's possible and to find ways to get more involved with their passions on campus."
Adam Delgado '12 and Cynthia Ramos '14 presented work from their State of the State for Washington Latinos course at the conference.
The conference included keynote speeches and panels discussing the role of Latinos in today's world. Notable speakers included former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, Senior Advisor to the President on Immigration Felicia Escobar and CNN en Español Anchor Fernando del Rincon. Funding for the trip was provided by Club Latino, ASWC, First Generation/Working Class Students, the Intercultural Center and the Dean of the Faculty.
"It was an amazing opportunity," said Ramos. "The speakers were motivational role models. They've encouraged me to go to grad school."
Ramos and Delgado also had the opportunity to present the project they had completed for their State of the State class, which focuses on the effectiveness of English Language Learning programs within the Walla Walla school district. It was the first time State of the State research had been presented at the national level.
"It represented an opportunity for me to connect national level scholars to a project that had made such a positive and deep personal impact on me and that is also changing the face of Washington State," said Galvao.

Galvao's favorite moment of the conference was being able to introduce Whitman students to two of the professors whose work they had read as part of State of the State: Louis Desipio of the University of California-Irvine and Rodolfo de la Garza of Columbia University.
"It felt as if I had come full circle from my original State of the State research on Latino voting rights in Walla Walla to my current situation as a graduate student," he said.
The students who participated in the conference now look forward to implementing what they have learned here at Whitman.
"It's inspiring to see that there are so many successful Latino leaders," said Hansack. "Going to the conference made me want to improve."
Ramos is looking forward to putting on more events that will reach out to the local Latino population. Club members are already mentoring Wa-Hi students and they hope to get involved with a fundraiser through the Children's Home Society of Washington to provide lunches to elementary school students.
"I liked seeing how I have a chance to get involved," said Rodriguez. "The conference made me consider becoming involved in politics and representing my community."
She hopes to see future generations of Whitman students attend the conference.
"I want to encourage future Latino students to attend. It was a very inspirational opportunity, and I want other people to experience that."

Not something you see every day - a Pig in the village, running towards you in the road. This one was trotting happily in Lastingham, making pig noises. A neighbour corralled it into a nearby front garden. It immediately used its rubbery nose to lift the latch and tried to push its way out - luckily seen in time and string was procured to keep it contained.
It was very tame and friendly, happily taking apples, carrots - and actually anything it was offered - and enjoyed scratches and tickles from us all.
The Village grape-vine is super effective, and soon the owner came to rescue her piggy.
What characters pigs are - and how communicative - reminds me of watching wild boar when I was trying to get a likeness for carving a pair of boar in stone.

Sickened by the coverage of the 'glorious dead' recently. Came across this in the library this afternoon with the kids…
"Let him who thinks War is a glorious, golden thing, who loves to roll forth stirring words of exhortation, invoking Honour and Praise and Valour and Love of Country … let him but look at a little pile of sodden grey rags that cover half a skull and a shin-bone and what might have been its ribs, or at this skeleton lying on its side, resting half crouching as it fell, perfect but that it is headless, and with the tattered clothing still draped round it; and let him realise how grand and glorious a thing it is to have distilled all Youth and Joy and Life into a foetid heap of hideous putrescence! Who is there who has known and seen who can say that Victory is worth the death of even one of these?"
Roland Leighton serving on the Western Front, to his Sweetheart, Vera Brittain. (Roland Leighton was killed in action in December 1915).

So Amber, Patrick and I ride the bus from Arvaikheer to Ulaanbatter on Saturday. Arrived in the late afternoon (no time to see the Natural History Museum), and promptly proceed to the Mongel Steepe Guesthouse.
Good thing too, as I think Amber had the last available room in UB, because of UB having their Naadam that day. The road was packed coming into UB, as people were off to see the horse races. People were even driving into the oncoming lane. Now that was interesting!
If was my last experience with the outdoor WC (Water Closet-toilet), and for that I was glad. I think I actually prefer going outdoors as opposed to the WC.
The airplane ride for me this time was as bad as coming over. I could not sleep, and did not have nice seatmates coming back. Coming over we got along swimmingly, had lots of bathroom breaks. Coming home, I was somewhat stuck with the window seat and therefore, not to many breaks. My feet swelled up and calves too, even though I tried my best to exercise them in the seat. Got the swelling down with a bit of "Legs up the wall" yoga poses, when I got home. Have a bit of jeg lag, coming home too, as I'm draggin!
Miss Grace happy to see me, Derek is off to UM Army, and I'm off to fend for myself for a couple of days.
I think the best part of my Mongolia trip was getting to see Amber, and then meeting and getting to know her counterparts and sitemates. Second, I think would be the Harhorin and Gobi Trip, and all the "Settlers of Catan" playing!
More on the Mongolia trip coming up, after many many more naps!

From the other side of the pool fence, five children played soccer. I was thankful for this, since we are all growing weary. Truth be told, no one feels like playing with the new arrivals anymore. We are forcing smiles, forcing kindness; we are forcing and reminding and trying again and again to just love. It's a love of choice at best right now. Loving with the brain and with action is hard when the heart is numb or indifferent. Yeah, like I said... truth be told...
I knew this season would come, but I imagined myself up early praying, strengthened and sustained. I imagined sensing the face of God shining, warmth for the soul. Jesus told his disciples to pray in the garden, but they shut down and slept because they couldn't handle the weightiness of it all. When prayer is what I need the most, I have become silent, stuck, benumbed.
There is so much to pray for. So many needs, so much sin, such heaviness. And loneliness, too. When I sense I need God the most, I have found myself frozen in place.
Ah, but He is there! He knows it all, He sees my weakness, and knows my heart. And He loves me still, calling to me, "Come."
I recommit. He is always there; I am the one that moves in and out of fellowship. I am the fickle child, brooding outside in the cold. But He is ever saying, "Draw near to me."
