Hi guys if i have say 30BI for 25NL and when i search a terrible player at my table like say an 80 10, and he is playing a table of 100NL as well. Is it considered ok to sit at that table.
Hi guys if i have say 30BI for 25NL and when i search a terrible player at my table like say an 80 10, and he is playing a table of 100NL as well. Is it considered ok to sit at that table.
Not unless you are ok with playing a 7,5 BI bankroll strategy. :-)
No matter how bad a player is, or maybe especially if he's bad and you have any sort of til issues at all.
BR managment is to make sure you can withstand the inevitable swings off everything poker related, not because you might come over someone better than you.
So, when you have KK preflop and he calls your 4 and 6 bet preflop with Q2 and hits a Q72 flop, thats one BI down, and one step on the way to tilting off maybe another one....:-)
Just my 3 cents,
Wouldn't do it myself.
and you have so many 80/10 at NL25 also. fry those fish first and then come to NL100
OK it makes total sense, i was sort of like well he is really bad it must be profitable, but then afterwards i sort of thought how risky it was and about variance and the fact i have only 7 BI and aswell he might cooler me and leave straight away and things like that. I luckily won 2BI off him, i wont be doing it again though for reasons stated in this thread.
What if it is one stake above your usual stake, i would have approx 15BI then, would be acceptable to play with only 15BI because you deem the gane as incredibally juicy.
just put it all on black imo.
I think it all comes down to how tilted you'd be if you lost a buyin at the higher game. If it puts you on tilt then don't do it.
in 6max, i dont know know, like shuttle, depends on how tilt happy you are.
if its HU, i mean the guy, that is a super fish, you stack him, and then he challenges you to play 100nl HU, its an insta YES, i mean, you have the chance to clear his entire bankroll (you obv take a risk if you are tilt prone) but i think im taking that deal every day of the year
If you can reload no problem be as aggressive as you like with shots at juicy tables
I can reload i have a good stable full time job. About tilt 4 years ago i was a total monkey shouting out loud and banging things its really embaressing that i could actually get like that. Now i tilt really quite rarely and its usualy mistake tilt. Maybe as i move up i might tilt a little more because the money is more but i know my BR is just BI and im quite de sensatised to money anyways.
Thanks for the advice everyone ive taken it all on board.
well than you obviously have a bigger BR and not just 7BI, right?
You sound loaded, send me $10? !
yeh i have 30BI, im considering dropping down to 20 to shot take a little more aggressively.
no i mean if money is not important to you and you can easilly redeposit, you have bigger BR for nl100 and not just 7BI
Usually chasing fish should be a +EV, but moving 2 levels up might not be the best idea. First of all, you will face better regs. Secondly, your game should be focused to stack the fish. That means playing looser than normally, which leads to a higher variance as a result. Otherwise sitting there and waiting for { AK, QQ+ } is a huge value waste.
And higher variance is the last thing you would like to see, while playing with 7.5 BI.

We all know that marijuana was legalized here. Does the governor have to ratify to make it official, or is it something that is colloquially understood once the people vote "yes". Is there a grey area period between now and then?

Taylor Swift
The 2010 Country Music Association Awards (CMAs) got underway in Nashville on Wednesday, Nov. 10, with the biggest stars of country music strutting their stuff on a fashionably black carpet (red is so 2009). Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood and Gwyneth Paltrow (yes, she was there to sing, to promote her new film "Country Strong") were, as expected, the most talked-about fashion divas, although Kellie Pickler also turned heads with her flashy diamond engagement ring (her boyfriend, songwriter Kyle Jacobs, proposed this past summer).
Inside, the evening was chock full of performances that barely left time for the awards. Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton were all multiple award winners, while Brad Paisley, as many expected, won his first Entertainer of the Year award, the evening's top prize.
Check out Metromix Nashville for more on the CMA Awards and other country music events in Nashville this week.

Diversification: A Failure of Fact or Expectation?
by Sam Stovall
The bear market of October 9, 2007, through March 9, 2009, witnessed not only a 57% decline in U.S. equity prices, but also the demise of many investors' faith in the volatility-reducing effects of diversification. Fortunes were wiped away in this 17-month mega-meltdown that was triggered by the simultaneous popping of the commodity, credit, real estate and emerging equity market bubbles.
During this most recent bear market, which was the second-deepest in the past 80 years, but only the ninth longest of 15, nearly all asset classes—be they U.S. or foreign equities, real estate or commodities—exhibited the glide path of a crowbar, slumping in unison, particularly during the final six months of the bear. Today, as a result, many wonder if traditional "buy-and-hold" investing should be replaced with "run and rotate." They also question if previously uncorrelated asset classes will now forever move in lockstep. Other investors, however, believe that during periods of financial crises, it is typical that equity-oriented or economically sensitive assets will experience positive correlations during these market downturns, only to revert to previous appreciation trajectories once the crisis has passed and they are able to relax once again.

Today, one can unemotionally sift through portfolio embers for clues to seemingly unprecedented asset class performances. We at Standard & Poor's (S&P) conclude that diversification didn't fail investors. Rather, allocation did do its job—a typically balanced portfolio's (60% U.S. large-cap equities and 40% long-term government bonds) 13.1% decline in 2008 was less than the 14.8% fall seen in 1974 and much better than the results of 1931 (–22.2%) and 1937 (–19%).
However, investors' expectations or memories failed. We also believe that many investors simply went too far out on the risk curve, embracing inappropriate equity exposures for their age groups, risk tolerances, or trading acumen. Hopefully, these errors in memory and expectation have been adjusted.

Sam, thank you for a great article which motivated me to revisit some of my calculations. I take the opportunity to share a couple of associated observations with you, and AAII Members.
UP FRONT, LET ME SAY THAT I AM A UK CITIZEN/RESIDENT, so my investment portfolio is in GBP, however, I believe that my comments are likely to be relevant to any investor, worldwide.
FIRST, your point about due to global computerised trading strategies, etc., an increase in volatility has likely become the new norm. I did some equity volatility sensitivity analysis using my 2008 (the year I retired) Monte Carlo portfolio simulation. Keeping all other inputs constant, multiplying the assumed equity standard deviation X 1.1 decreased the 90% chance portfolio life by 2 years (from 31 yrs); and X 1.2 decreased the life by 3 yrs. CONCLUSION - any new, higher volatility norm will significantly impact my portfolio.
SECOND, I looked at real declines for rolling 10-yr holding periods for a UK 50% equities, 25% bonds, and 25% short-term investments and cash portfolio (my post-retirement asset allocation). I concluded that the 18 yrs, 1964-1981, were the worst for the UK since WW2, and the average real return during that time was -2.2% p.a. (over the 9, rolling 10-yr periods within the 18 yrs). CONCLUSION - there is likely to be more UK investment pain in the next 5 to 10 yrs if post-WW2 history repeats itself.
Thanks again for a great article.

Cathy Walsh named interim executive director of Lake County Port Authority
Lake County Port Authority Board of Directors have appointed Cathy Walsh to serve as the agency's interim executive director.
Walsh, who is the Port Authority's chief financial officer, takes over for former Executive Director John Loftus who retired last month.
"I'm happy to carry the Port through the transition period and make sure everything moves forward, all the projects we have going on," Walsh said Wednesday after the board appointment. "There is a lot of important things we're working on and I'm just glad to do my part to make sure that we keep moving forward in a positive way."
Among the major projects for the Port Authority is work to secure leases for companies to occupy the former Coe Manufacturing site in Painesville, which the Port Authority now calls the Bank Street project.
The Port Authority last year obtained the 25-acre site that has not been utilized for the past two years with the goal to encourage companies to move in and have the property become productive again. Several companies have expressed an interest in moving to the site.
Port Authority officials also continue to work with local, county and federal officials to see if it is feasible to take over ownership of the Lost Nation Airport.
Board Chairman Harry Allen said the Port Authority is optimistic about what the agency is learning.
"Right now we're in the final stages of documentation with the city of Willoughby and the FAA regarding final agreements and final property agreement language," Allen said.
He said there are a few more steps that need to take place, including ensuring financial accountability and accounts that need to be resolved before a transfer of ownership can happen.
"Due diligence efforts are under way to better ascertain the costs and operations of the facility," he said. Continued...
The Port Authority Board also selected officers for the year. Re-elected were Allen as chairman and Christopher Madison as secretary.
Rita McMahon, former Painesville city manager who was appointed the board last month by county commissioners, was elected as vice chairwoman.

Loved by both critics and audiences when it debuted earlier this year, the hit sketch comedy series Key and Peele is returning for a second season run in just one month on Comedy Central. Now with 2012 being a crucial election year, the titular duo debuted a fan-favorite recurring skit in which President Obama adds extra details to his political speeches thanks to anger translator Luther. Now, Obama and Luther are at it again as Comedy Central is ready to kick off the marketing for Season 2 with the good ol' boys back and pissed off at Mitt Romney.
As if that wasn't enough, the skit has decided to go viral and has created its own Twitter page called @ObamaTranslated on Twitter. If you can't get enough of Obama and Luther (or Key & Peele for that matter) make sure you follow the account for more installments as the months heat up before the polls open.
Key and Peele returns Wednesday September 26th at 10:30PM.

The business owners at the intersection of 3rd& Elm call their newly arranged retail scene "The Corner." I don't think they're giving each other enough praise, as I like to call it "The cutest little corner in Long Beach."
The 3rd St section of the building was formally a daycare center, settled in an area most Long Beach residents have no desire to walk through. In December 2010, the daycare closed its doors and Roni Skeen, the property manager, proposed a plan to the building owner. Recalling the building's original blueprints she once found in old files, Skeen suggested the owner rent the downstairs space as separate units.
Skeen also envisioned renting those divided spaces to business applicants that would fit the East Village Arts District scene. And while she was offered plans of another daycare, tax office, and print shops, Long Beach residents should be very grateful for the applicants she chose. Because thanks to her decisions and ideas, downtown Long Beach has a distinct corner of timeless, tasty and attractive little shops that have revamped the neighborhood.
"I wanted unique, hip, artsy businesses that would breathe new life not only into the corner, but the Arts District as a whole," she said. "It's amazing, all the thanks I've received for "cleaning up" the neighborhood, but a lot of the credit really goes to the artisans and shopkeepers."
And once 3rd St came to fruition, so did the renting of the divided lofts on Elm St. Along that corner, these are the quaint little stores adding to the facelift of the East Village Arts District…
Walking into Primal Flower is simply enchanting. Like you just walked into the gift shop of The Secret Garden, where fresh flowers meet vintage vases and jazz music entertains tea-party planners. You'll discover an assortment of artisan custom jewelry, local artist's creations, crafty gifts, knick-knacks, refurbished containers, miscellaneous vintage pieces, and of course an amazing array of fresh, locally grown flowers and plants.
Just as local and natural as her flowers was the way owner Shelley Anders got in the building. Living in the area, she eyed it for years and once it was turned into a retail space, she knew it was perfect for her florist business.
Since July 2011, Shelley and her partner, Jeremy West, who creates all the handsome, handcrafted décor (for both sale and store ambience), have a perfect little place to share and sell their skills. With a romantic touch and vintage taste, Primal Flower is an adorable addition to the declining distinction of a unique gift and flower shop.
A tiny vintage mall specializing in antique radios, typewriters and all things "owl", this charming collectibles boutique is the perfect time warp; tiny, timeless and totally bitchin'.
Owned by couple Myriam Courchesne and Justin English, these two yard-sale loving collectors also create crafty lamps and soap containers made from liquor bottles, like the adorable Sailor Jerry bottles you see pictured.
You'll also find classic collectors items, like kitchen décor, antique tools and bar mirrors. And for anyone looking for Garbage Pail Kids trading cards, they have a huge collection.
The Hallway Spectacle opened last Valentine's Day, 2011, but are still getting compliments and conversing with locals who say they just noticed the boutique. However, the addition of all the newer stores is a definite plus for the owners.
"Now we're a full corner and people are stopping in more frequently and taking notice to all of our stores. It's really nice around here," Myriam said.

Just as every retail corner needs a snack shop (See Shortin' Bread down below), a music spot is just as essential. Durty Mick's is that essence and was created to "just have a welcoming environment for kids to come out and listen to some music…a place I didn't have as a kid," as posted on his website.
Specializing in punk, metal, horror, hardcore and underground in vinyl and c.d.'s, Durty Mick's also has the matching t-shirts, posters, hoodies and buttons. They are heavy on pre-order and always carry the top new releases in the respective genres.
Durty Mick's originally began as an online music store, but settling in the East
Village in February 2010 was a perfect fit. After all, this area is the original home to SST Records, an independent punk record label and studio formed in Long Beach in the late 70's by Black Flag artist Greg Ginn. It is also the former home of Toe Jam, an underground music venue where bands like Sublime, Green Day and The Offspring once played.

First, the vintage setup attracts the eyes and lures you inside. Next, the freshly baked goods and locally roasted coffee pleases your sense of smell. Then, you meet co-owner Justina Fenton, and her genuineness and character excite you to try. And finally, you devour the deliciousness of high-grade, locally made, organically grown deserts and treats.
Shortnin' Bread was a business before it landed the corner two lots on 3rd& Elm, but had it's official opening in October 2011. And like Primal Flower owner Shelley, Justina also eyed the building and her corner spot, long before she opened up shop with her Uncle Keith.
"I had my eye on this space for a while and I envisioned a store front exactly like this 12 years ago," Justina said. And she is so happy how things turned out.
Shortnin' Bread is a retro kitchen, with a wonderful, modern concept, that good food is for everybody. The company also stresses the importance of supporting the local economy, adding not only local financial gain, but quality freshness to its products for residents to enjoy.
So go on in, and enjoy. Perhaps try a Peanut Butters cookie, fresh lemon tart and a hot cup of Long Beach grown True Beans coffee. Now that's a true American bakery.
316 Elm Ave
"For the man and his cool kids."
The tagline perfectly describes this vintage way of life clothing, accessories, workspace, and collectibles specialty shop. You'll discover an assortment of classically cool men and children's work boots and dress shoes, hard to find vintage motorcycle gear, and antique household items and personal belongings.
But besides the attention that the adorable leather jackets for three-year-olds brings, the layout of the store is flawless. You walk in and suddenly you're chillin' in James Dean and his (could have been) son's closet.
There are baby Beatles shirts, cut off jean jackets and cateye shades for the little ones. You'll find vintage fans and clocks, shoe shining kits and gorgeous artisan jewelry. And with an assortment of over 50 pairs of stylish men's boots, in addition to hats, clothes and furniture, Jj Rowe has everything for the vintage loving male.
Opened in August 1, 2011, Jesse Rowe and his wife Joanna have some pretty awesome taste. In addition to selling collectibles, they also take special orders for requests as a way to get more personal with their customers. And if the name looks familiar, perhaps you've fiddled through their section at Retro Row shop Retrospect.
And just like it seems that everyone on this block is here for a reason, Jesse remembers going to party across the street from this same building about 12 years ago and noticing it. Now he is a part of this corner's revival and is loving the response.
Commenting on his fellow owners on "The Corner," Jesse said "We're all trying to do stuff together and really change this area forever."
314 Elm Ave
Downtown Darling is adorable. Owner Sandra Pimentel transformed her loft space into a woman's vintage shop and beauty salon, carrying gorgeous treasures for the retro wearer.
Downtown Darling truly is "Where City Meets Pretty." The vibe is vintage and the products are charming, complete with a (estimated) 1920's player piano and tons of pieces from the 50's, 60's and 70's, mostly.
You'll find jewelry and other accessories in all price ranges, well-kept retro dresses, jackets and sweet lil' vintage shoes that are both hard to come by and resist. As a hair stylist, Sandra also splits her clothes space with a beauty salon setup and rents special pieces and styles for photo shoots, as well. So you can and buy for your closet, get a new 'do and plan a photo shoot in the same little shop.
As a San Diego native, Sandra grew up in the flea market scene, doing shows with her mother. After living in Argentina, Sandra was brought back to Cali for finish her degree at Cal State Long Beach and while considering putting to use her storage full of vintage clothes, see saw the space ad on Craig's List.
"I love it down here. It's nutty and random, but I love the unpredictability," Sandra said. "And all of us business owners are embracing each other. That's really nice."
The Long Beach Depot For Creative Reuse
320 Elm Ave
This amazing epicenter for all things creative is no newbie to the East Village. Lisa Hernandez opened up this arts & crafts store in June 2008 to encourage, inspire and promote fun ways to reuse items and materials "too good to throw away" for creative reuse projects," as her mission states.
But it's not just Lisa's store's almost four years existence that has dubbed her "The Godmother" of the area, she is also a truly remarkable, creative and community orientated woman. Or as she like's to say, a "craftivist."
Lisa's story is fun to hear, so play her a visit and she'll be happy to tell you how this organized yet chaotically creative craft store came to life. And just so you'll be sure to do that, you'll only get some details about it here.
The Creative Reuse has practically all materials necessary to create jewelry, formulate a classroom project, and create home décor and art, offered at amazing prices. Inside are dozens of bead varieties, cardboard cutouts, knitting materials, bottle caps, plastic scraps, you name it. And by wonderful donations of other people's "junk," the Creative Reuse is certainly a community outlet for all things creative.
So go down and pay Lisa and her daughter Yoshino a visit, bring some chump change, get inspired and learn a bit about reusing. After all, Lisa says that "Art is education. Choose to reuse."
322 Elm Ave
You are literally taken aback when you enter the Bow Tiki Boutique. First, like a time traveling machine, you enter the turn of the century and embark on a journey. Then, you eye all the mixed media art and refurbished collections and an impression is immediately set. These owners are artists.
They are also very sweet. Couple Erin Guler and Alonso Garson (a Long Beach native) run this destination together and had their grand opening in February 2012. Alonso is the craftsman behind the chests turned into tables and all of the wearable sculptures, like his jewelry line called the Gregor Collection.
The store specializes in wordly travel pieces, like vintage suitcases and travel bags, to collectibles from places like Thailand and Hawaii. But they also carry cool hats, ties, men and women's wear and vintage essentials like jewelry, belts, and handcrafted décor.
The two have created the Bow Tiki Boutique around the diverse neighborhood they rent in and try to have a price range that will please everybody. They want their patrons to walk into the store and be able to afford something they love, just as they love their location.
"We feel like there's a revolution going on down here and we wanted to be a part of it," Erin said. And they certainly are helping to create that renaissance.
326 Elm Ave
Completing "The Corner" is another specialty business supporting its neighbors and keeping the men freshly cut, in a stylish, relaxing environment. V.S. & Tailored Cutz has three styling stations, a 52" flat screen, a JJ Rowe designed clothing rack, and local artist's creations, clothing and hats for sale.
"I wanted to bring a different kind of flavor to this area. An artsy look, but I have to cater to my old and young clients. I also wanted to carry local designers creations, like LB State of Mind and Amnimal Clothing company," owner Vannak Som said.
And just like the rest, finding this location is a meant-to-be story. Vannak was driving around looking for available shops and turning onto Elm was his last turn. He saw the For Lease sign, checked the space, and loved it. Vannak had his official grand opening Saturday, March 10th, 2012.
V.S. & Tailored Cutz cuts in all kinds of ways, but you'll find the young and fresh sitting in these station chairs most often. But by the time anyone picks some flowers, purchases a collectors bar mirror, buys a Bad Religion record, eats a freshly baked pie, samples some 70's work boots or fancy 50's heels for the ladies, creates a purse from a plastic Coke bottle and travels back in time, it will definitely be time for a fresh haircut.

Love that Lisa is reppin' the 562CityLife sticker too!
Great! I'm going to go check out the Corner this weekend...and bring some friends!

Shortnin Bread is EVIL! They'll seduce you with their delicious baked goods, then get you hopped up on their insane coffee. Oh, and they have ice cream cookie sandwiches. EVIL, I say! EVIL!
Nice Job Molly! Thanks so much for featuring us and our lovely neighbors:)
And thanks for the photos too. They look good.
This is a great blog. I like the name The Corner. This area has been moving in the right direction for quite some time. Lisa Hernandez does a lot of great work organizing her business neighbors to do things to get the community in shape.
Oh snaps! That's my homie Vannak. I didn't know his shop was right there, although I did hear he was opening up a store.
I used to play ball with that cat. I see a lot of major things happening to this area of Long Beach. It has it's own identity and it's only going to get better.
Thanks for sharing this blog with us Molly.
Take a couple hours to see the greatness of this new area yourself...next up is a look at the other "new" shops in the area!
Great coverage. I like your work AND "The Corner!"

Benin Troops Out To Give Fame A Shot!
Wednesday, 18 July 2012 17:13
Yes! It's project Fame West Africa Season 5. In season 1 we had Iyanya who has risen to become Kukere crooner, season 2, there was Mike, season 3 was the cream Chidinma who from the word go has been on top of her game, releasing hit tracks from Jankoliko even to 'Run Dia Mouth'. Just last season, Monica joined PF's hall of fame as she clinched the grand prize.
Last season, Yvonne was discovered from Benin. Will another Yvonne emerge this year? Fingers crossed...It was maximum fun and excitment as the young, middle-aged, and old came in search of fame. The funny, the serious minded also came.
This season, the search has begun round major cities in West Africa. Out first stop was at Constantial Hotel, 24/26 Airport Road, GRA, Benin City.
How will it go, will Benin be represented this year? Watch the video on youtube and be the judge.
Enjoy these videos:

Didi Kosu
Sunday, 05 August 2012 17:46Didi made it into the Academy, but left at the sixth week of the competition. Here is his last stage performance on Project Fame Season 5:
Dimipre Kosu likes to be known as 'Diddy'. He is 20 years old and an Engineering fourth-year undergrad at Niger Delta University. Diddy Kosu is playful and has his own style which he believes tends to stand him out from the crowd. He loves rock jazz and soul music and really loves to dance.
At the slightest opportunity, Didi is likely to break into 'Azonto' – the now famous dance of Ghanaian origin which the young man seems to have mastered and given his own unique twist.

Beginning August 26 and going through September 8 the Calhoun Police Department will join the Georgia Governor's Office of Highway Safety's "OPERATION ZERO-TOLERANCE: YOU DRINK & DRIVE.YOU LOSE." sobriety checkpoint program – the state wide law enforcement crackdown on alcohol and drug-impaired drivers.
As a community we should no longer tolerate anyone being injured and killed because people continue to drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Every day you see and hear about such tragedies. It will take the collective outrage of all of us to reach drunk and drugged drivers. No one should look the other way when they see someone at risk. Such carelessness is always life threatening and never worth the risk.
The Calhoun Police Department will do out part. The public can support us be speaking up to friends, relatives and neighbors if they are driving under the influence. If reminding them they're putting their lives and other people's lives at deadly risk does not work, tell them that if an officer spots them during one of the systematic sobriety checkpoints, they will face being arrested and prosecution.
In Georgia, alcohol and drugs cause vehicle crashes that result in the deaths of nearly 500 people every year. In addition, the estimated monetary cost and quality of life loss averages $73,000 per injured survivor of an impaired driver-related crash and $2.9 million per fatality.
The Georgia Governor's Office of Highway Safety, in partnership with more than 350 law enforcement agencies across the state, is implementing "OPERATION ZERO-TOLERANCE: YOU DRINK & DRIVE. YOU LOSE." The goal of this campaign is to significantly decrease incidents of deaths and injury on Georgia's roadways involving drunk and drugged drivers.
If the community works together to spread the word and change behaviors related to impaired driving, we can all help stem the rising tide of unnecessary crashes, injuries and deaths on Georgia's roadways.

Gallery exhibit 'Gets to Know Nebraska'

Vietnamese doctor finds new career in PA Program
When uprooting a life and immigrating to a new country, many things get left behind. For Thuy Ho, it was more than just things that didn't fit in a suitcase; she had to leave behind her medical license. In her native Vietnam, Ho had earned a medical degree and had years of experience as an internist, but did not qualify to continue practicing medicine in the United States. Undaunted by the task of starting over, she enrolled in Union College's Physician Assistant Studies Program.
Now in her second year of the graduate degree, Ho has qualified for the National Health Services Corps Scholarship, a highly competitive and prestigious full-ride scholarship for physician assistants willing to practice medicine in less prestigious locales.
Life in Vietnam
Raised in postwar Vietnam by Catholic parents, Ho decided to pursue a medical career early in life. "My father was a pharmacist," she smiled. "He encouraged me to be a physician so I could help them by opening a clinic nearby."

Detailed Lake Tahoe Map
The following Lake Tahoe area map gives you a general idea of the highways directly around Lake Tahoe as well as where majority of Lake Tahoe golf courses, Lake Tahoe casinos and airports are. You will notice that the majority of parks, Lake Tahoe ski resorts, golf courses and casinos are either on the north shore, south shore or west shore. Use this map to help you decide, which are around Tahoe you wish stay in.
When deciding where to stay in Lake Tahoe, keep in mind that North Lake Tahoe has an older, classic Tahoe feel with many vacation rentals, cabins and lodges. On the other hand, South Lake Tahoe is much more modern with large resorts and newer Lake Tahoe casinos.
Getting to Lake Tahoe - Highway Map
The map below is a basic highway map, zoomed out to show Sacramento and Lake Tahoe. You can see the various highways you can take to reach Lake Tahoe as well as which ones will get you to South Lake Tahoe and the ones that will guide you towards Truckee and the North Shore.
You can see that Reno is situated just a little northeast of Lake Tahoe. This is the nearest airport to Tahoe and is an International airport as well. If you are flying in to Lake Tahoe, Reno would be the best option, and from there you can rent a car. We would recommend renting a car as Lake Tahoe is vast and a car will make seeing more of the lake convenient and possible.

Practical and Chic
The chain strap is a good handbag length when doubled up (as a cross body, the strap is too long for shorter ladies). I like that it has a dedicated padded compartment for my iPad. The leather is slightly stiffer than the MABs so it holds its shape better. I'm petite but I don't find the size overwhelming. It still looks like a neat oversized handbag. A much sleeker way to carry all my work gear with me than a big work tote. It'd be a good idea to polish the leather a bit before use to prevent scratches due to the nature of the leather.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Mac Daddy
I purchased this bag in burgundy after having a Mac Mini (taupe snake printed leather also from Shopbop) for the summer/spring. I loved the colour and loved the mini so thought I'd give it a try for the fall.
The bag is gorgeous and I have had so many compliments on it, especially the colour! Its roomy and fits a lot of stuff, zippers work perfectly, nice compartments. Love making the straps shorter and carrying it has a shoulder bag. Different enough from the mini in size to have both.
The only downfall is that after only a day of having it, the leather was already scratched, and because of the colour it shows a lot. I rubbed it with a bit of polish and it went away a bit but still there. Since then I've been really careful and have had it for a month with no other major damage. Just prepare to be really careful with it if purchased.
Shopbop service was amazing, came packaged perfectly with all original packaging and came so quick, 2-3 days and best of all free! Will use site agai

Gorgeous + Large
I bought this bag hoping for a large, yet "looks small" bag.
Additionally hoping for that one awesome bag that I can carry from day to night.
Gorgeous bag, but was bigger than expected and can look HUGE on a short person (I'm 5'3'). So for me, I wouldn't get away with carrying this at night, as it would look like I'm carrying around a 14 inch macbook.
Also with the chain, the bag can feel a bit heavy.
If RM could make one in between the Mac Daddy and Mac that would be the perfect size for me.
So gorgeous bag, well made, but large for a clutch.
Review for shopbop - Fast shipping, and arrived well packed.
Sizing: Larger than Expected

The key to choosing the right job is knowing what is most important to you and determining which organization offers the most of what you are looking for in an employer. The negotiation process is an opportunity to define, communicate and achieve what you want. Every new job, in fact every performance review, is an opportunity to negotiate base salary, various kinds of bonuses, benefits, stock options and other incentives that add to job satisfaction and provide financial security. However, negotiation requires gathering information, planning your approach, considering different alternatives, communicating clearly and making decisions to reach your goal. Consider the following:
Business Climate
Organization Performance
Organization Values
Nature of Work
Work Environment
Professional Development Opportunities
Work-Life Balance
Investment Options
Cost of Living Adjustments

I love paranormal mysteries.
If I had to pick one genre as my favorite which isnt easy because I have varied tastes I would have to go with paranormal mysteries.
I was introduced to Terri Reids Mary OReilly mysteries earlier this year and I was infatuated with them the minute I started reading them.
I breezed through the first eight (yes eight) in a matter of days. Then I was left to wait for the ninth book Twisted Paths -- to be released.Read more here
