Investment Management provides a powerful package of systematic principles and cutting-edge applications for intelligent-and profitable-investing in the new world of finance. Its authoritative approach to the investment process is indispensable for coming to grips with today's rapidly changing investment environment-an environment that bombards the investor with an oversupply of information, with novel and complex strategies, with a globalized trading arena in a constant state of flux, and with radical innovations in the development of new financial instruments. Traditional investment methods no longer suffice for investors managing their own funds or for professionals entrusted with the wealth of individual and fiduciary institutions.
Edited by Peter Bernstein and Aswath Damodaran, widely respected experts in the field, this authoritative resource brings together an all-star team that combines Wall Street savvy with profound theoretical skills. The hands-on professionals who have contributed to this volume command high respect among academics in finance; the academic contributors, in turn, are also experienced in the rough-and-tumble of the Wall Street scene.
Together, they have designed the book to look at investing as a process-a series of steps, taken in the proper sequence, that provides the tools and strategies for optimal balancing of the interaction of risk and return. The analysis is at all points comprehensive and lucid as it moves from setting investment objectives to the best methods for selecting securities, from explaining how to measure risk to how to measure performance, from understanding derivatives to minimizing taxes, and from providing the essentials of portfolio strategy to the basic principles of asset allocation. In a unique chapter, the book also offers a searching evaluation of management and governance structures in the modern corporation.
One form of risk management is to make such successful investments that losses do not matter. Only luck can achieve that result; the real world requires decisions whose outcomes are never known in advance. That is what risk is all about. Every stage of the investment process-from executing a trade to optimizing diversification-must focus on making rational choices under conditions of uncertainty. The successful investor's toolkit has more inside of it than just the essential apparatus for selecting securities and allocating assets. The successful investor is also the one who has the knowledge, the confidence, and the necessary control systems to deal with the inevitable moments when forecasts go wrong.
Investment Management explores the investment process from precisely this viewpoint. It is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to investing in today's challenging marketplace-an ideal resource for serious investors and students.
A state-of-the-art program in investment principles and applications from topflight professionals.
Edited by Peter Bernstein and Aswath Damodaran, who are widely respected throughout the world of finance, this authoritative text brings together an all-star team to provide both a hands-on and theoretical overview of investing in today's challenging financial environment.
Once upon a time, Wall Street lived off little homilies like, 'buy low and sell high,' 'nothing ventured, nothing gained,' and 'don't put all your eggs in one basket.' Like all sayings that endure, these simple proverbs contain a lot of truth, even if not the whole truth. When wrapped into a body of theory that supports them with logic and a systematic set of principles, these elementary wisdoms pack a great deal of power.
Yet if the theory is so consistent, logical, and powerful, another fabled Wall Street saying comes to mind: 'If you're so smart, how come you're not rich?' The answer is disarmingly simple: The essence of investment theory is that being smart is not a sufficient condition for being rich. This book is about the missing ingredients.-from the Preface by Peter L. Bernstein.

ARDA July "Timeshare Fan of the Month" – Shell Vacations Club Members
Each of the SVC members cite a variety of reasons they've chosen timeshare as their preferred way to vacation—including more space, adventurous locations, and resorts around the globe—they all say that timeshare makes their vacation better.
"I brought three girlfriends with me on a recent getaway and they were in awe," said Shell Vacations Club member Jayne Carney. "They couldn't believe we had two bedrooms and bathrooms, and I said, 'yes, I have this all the time!'"
The Shell Vacations Club profile is the ninth in a monthly series showcasing the passion of timeshare owners.
With more than 8 million owners, a satisfaction rate of 85 percent, and an occupancy rate that outpaced hotel occupancy by more than 20 percent, it is clear that this segment of the travel industry is faring well. Take the time to find out why. Visit www.VacationBetter.org for more information.
Next month, look for vacation memories from Starwood Vacation owners who are passionate about their timeshare. All timeshare fans are invited to tell their story here..
About Timeshare
Timeshare and vacation ownership are often used as interchangeable terms. Timeshare may be purchased through deeded property ownership, right-to-use, or a points-based program. Owners purchase a villa, usually in one-week increments, within a fixed (same week each year) or "floating" system. Floating time allows the owner to schedule each year's vacation for the desired week within a specified season.
About ARDA
The American Resort Development Association (ARDA) is the Washington D.C.-based professional association representing the vacation ownership and resort development industries. Established in 1969, ARDA today has almost 1,000 members ranging from privately held firms to publicly traded companies and international corporations with expertise in shared ownership interests in leisure real estate. The membership also includes timeshare owner associations (HOAs), resort management companies, and owners through the ARDA Resort Owners Coalition (ARDA-ROC).

We have to wait for just a while till Android Pay will take equal position with Apple Pay. As for now, the latter wins as more mainstream mobile payments system. Android Pay was launched in the US last September, but it hasn't spread abroad so far. And Google didn't provide any information about its global rollout.
However, today Google has good news for Android adopters. It is going to launch the service in Britain in several few months. The search giant doesn't promise the process to be quick, definitely the spread won't take place this month.
Although there are a lot of Brits that own an Android phone, they had no chance to use a mobile payments platform. As a result, Google stays at a loss. It appears that despite the fact that Google does have a huge potential user base in the UK, it doesn't use it. The Brits are already familiar with contactless payments and that makes Android Pay easier to market and, in the process, improve its chances of being adopted.
If you are interested in Android Pay and going to use the system, you just need to link a compatible Mastercard, Visa credit or debit card. In the beginning, the service will work with the cards issued by the Bank of Scotland, First Direct, Halifax, HSBC, Lloyds Bank, M&S Bank, MBNA and Nationwide Building Society.
Do you notice that the list lacks one large bank? Right! Barclays, though one of the "big four" in the UK, doesn't support Apple Pay and seems to ignore Google's rival service as well. The fact, however, can be easily explained – the Bank is trying to promote its own bPay platform and wearables instead. The list of banks supporting Android Pay won't stay unchangeable. Google has promised that new banks will be added "all the time".
Android Pay can be used as a payment method for third-party apps such as Deliveroo, YPlan and JD Sports. It should be a one-tap process with no need to submit personal bank card details every time a user completes a purchase.
So far, Apple has been taking the lead over Google in the UK and all over the world. In February tech giant made Apple Pay service available in China. The customers can now use Apple Pay with cards from 19 banks and several merchants, including KFC, Carrefour, 7-Eleven and McDonald's. Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Ltd has recently announced it will also add Apple Pay support.
"We think China could be our largest Apple Pay market," said Jennifer Bailey, vice president of Apple Pay.
However it is necessary to mention that Apple Pay will likely face a high competition from the local online payments providers. The market is currently dominated by Alibaba's Alipay, Tencent's Tenpay and WeChat Payment platforms. Besides, some merchants, even the US, are still reluctant to accept money via online mobile payment systems.

Company Summary
We've upgraded how broadcast, cable and digital content is developed, promoted and sold to account for the 21st century's explosion in media and technology. We prove that content created under our model will outperform all other, before one dime is spent. We prove every company in the production-distribution chain is under-performing and undervalued, with major media companies undervalued by billions of dollars. Companies will compete to buy us.
Ken Richard ConvoyOwner
With a background with advertising agencies, I proved the billions of dollars of stockholder assets spent on content promotion are wasted on ineffective messages that suppress viewing levels. My model will increase ratings by 50-100% and digital visits by 10-or-more times the average click-through rate. Built in to the content is the ability to maintain viewer loyalty and, as NBC and Gillette confirm, guessing is removed from the buying process.

One girl. Two stories. Meet Fiona Doyle. The thick ridges of scar tissue on her face are from an accident twelve years ago. Fiona has notebooks full of songs she's written about her frustrations, her dreams, and about her massive crush on beautiful uber-jock Trent McKinnon. If she can't even find the courage to look Trent straight in his beautiful blue eyes, she sure isn't brave enough to play or sing any of her songs in public. But something's changing in Fiona. She can't be defined by her scars anymore.
And what if there hadn't been an accident? Meet Fi Doyle. Fi is the top-rated female high school lacrosse player in the state, heading straight to Northwestern on a full ride. She's got more important things to deal with than her best friend Trent McKinnon, who's been different ever since the kiss. When her luck goes south, even lacrosse can't define her anymore. When you've always been the best at something, one dumb move can screw everything up. Can Fi fight back?
Hasn't everyone wondered what if? In this daring debut novel, Moriah McStay gives us the rare opportunity to see what might have happened if things were different. Maybe luck determines our paths. But maybe it's who we are that determines our luck.
Everything That Makes You has been on my Waiting on Wednesday list and then I received it in my April OwlCrate, so it felt like the book and I were fated together. I enjoyed Everything That Makes You, especially reading it on a hot day while watching my husband fish.
- I think that everyone has had multiple "what if" moments. We all wonder what it would be like if major events in our lives went a different way. What would happen if I moved to town B instead of town A after college, what if I married this person instead of that, what if I took this job instead of that. It is such a relate-able topic that I am sure everyone can be drawn easily be drawn to the story.
- Our MC - Fiona 1, was injured in an accident when she was younger. That accident has changed her outlook on life and the perception of the people around her. She was not able to do a lot of physical activity so she developed her creative side. The second Fiona, Fi, did not get into the accident and has lived life completely differently.
- It was fun to see how Fiona choose to tackle life, she was fairly good with the fact that she couldn't really change her past and did not walk around with a whole lot of self-pity. She did internalize her issues or choose to write them out as songs. I also thought she surrounded herself with people who really loved her.
- I liked Fiona's family a lot. Her brother was awesome and they were close, for the most part. I also really like her mom, even though she was overbearing. She cared a lot and just wanted Fiona to be happy. A lot of YA books lack that parental figure so I always point it out when it comes about.
- I definitely liked Fiona's story over Fi's POV. I didn't connect really well with either, but if I had to choose, I would say that Fiona's part of the book resonated with me.
- I like that Fiona was Finona no matter what happened as a child. Her personality was a little different, her hobbies a little different, but to her core, she was still Fiona. People have tough times, struggles and think that life is harder for them than the next person, but in truth, everyone struggles and each time we fall, we change and grow. But within the changes, the struggles, the trials of life, we are still us in the core.
- The story was a bit meh. Sometimes contemporaries fall short for me because I am looking for that adventure, that epic point that draws you in and won't let you go. There is a story to be told here and I just couldn't fully relate to it. I definitely think I was more with Marcus and Jackson in the story than Fiona. I loved the side characters enough that if the book was about Jackson and Marcus and Fiona was a side character, I think I would have rated it 5 stars.

If you want to reap the benefits of Pilates, but are scared at the very thought of setting foot in a Pilates class, rest assured that Pilates is for everyone. In fact, Pilates should be the one exercise class you never want to miss! Pilates was first developed as a kind of physical fitness system by Joseph Pilates at the turn of the last century. Originally he called the system "Contrology" and developed it as a method of rehabilitation for returning WWI soldiers. Over the years, the system became known as "Pilates" and has been extensively used to rehabilitate and strengthen any person at any level, from ballerinas to stay at home moms.
Pilates focuses on developing and strengthening the core muscles that support the spine. The emphasis of Pilates is on control (hence "contrology"), making each move deliberate and slow rather than fast and jerky. Pilates practitioners focus on control of movement and breath, coaxing the abs to do the heavy lifting. This develops the core muscles and helps improve stability, flexibility, balance, and lessens back pain.
On a purely personal note, there are two distinct advantages to the Pilates form of body training. First, because it tones your abs so quickly, it can help you look better fast. If you are losing weight and want your weight loss to look even more dramatic, you can't get better than Pilates for quick muscle tone. Secondly, Pilates is more about challenging yourself than following along with the pack. You can work for weeks to master a specific Pilates pose–and imagine the rush once you actually do it right!
Once you have decided to give Pilates a try, you need to search for that Pilates class you cannot miss. Finding that class is a personal journey. There are several factors that will influence what kind of class works for you:
Time of Day
You will need a class that meets at a convenient time for your schedule. If you have to fight to make the class, eventually you'll give up the fight.
Class Instructor
Find an instructor whose teaching style works with you. Make sure your teacher takes the time to explain the pose and correct your form, especially if you are a beginner. Learning proper form is all-important, and a dedicated teacher will keep a sharp eye on yours.
Class Size
Some people prefer to huddle in the back of a huge class until they feel comfortable. Others prefer a small class with lots of individual attention. Decide what class size works best for you.
Class Level
Make sure when you are starting out that you find a class that's geared to all levels. A good instructor will take the time to explain a pose to newbies, and not just expect them to follow along. Once you have advanced beyond the beginner stage, you can seek a more advanced class.
Once you have found a Pilates class you enjoy, you'll never want to miss a session. So grab your mat and go! You'll love the results and the way you feel.

The other day TEAM KUNAKIRWA was on that tweet hype and we were having an interesting discussion about the flyest women in Africa.
Follow --->
Now, that as the general story, dudes were justifying their reasoning behind who they rate. One distinct quote from some Southern African individuals; "No booty? No thank you!" And of course we all know some girls without ass wouldn't be too happy about such a proclamation, which is fair... i guess. No pun intended. One particular member of the League of Extraordinary Twimbo Women shared 3 tweets that i feel need to be addressed concerning women in general.
1. "But hanti mati with Zim men it's 'no booty no thanks', saka isu vetuma smallaz toita sei?"
This highlights a problem with the thinking of a good number of women i know. You meet 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 maybe even 7 dudes who like booty and you graduate that to 'All Zim men want booty so where does that leave the rest of us not so well endowed women?'. Please be serious. There an estimated 5.8 million of us homeboys. 5.8 million damn it! 7 opinions do not and cannot accurately reflect the whole population perception. Like i said, please be serious.
Of things i respect men for, one is being able to compete regardless of who, what, where, when or how the next nigga looks. I'm yet to come across any man on that 'If i had a 6 pack like nhingi i would fair much better with girls' tip. Me, short, chubby, dark, with my beer belly have no problem fancying my chances with the ladies because apparently Panashe the Personal Trainer and his rock-hard 6 pack are around or maybe because Nwankho the Naija and his Audi are in the hood. But with women eish.... you get big women who quiver when that pretty size 8 with her seemingly flawless figure walks into the room or petite women who just shrivel up in a corner because a curvy size 12 arikuzadza that body-shaping dress is turning heads. See what i mean? Either way, someone, somewhere has a feature that you might regard as 'better'. Shamwari, that body you have is YOURS kubva kubvudzi kusvika kunzwara dzemumakumbo. What you got is what God gave you so work it! Otherwise you are slowly signing up for things like depression > anorexia > bulimia. Serenity Prayer.
2. "Varume vanofurira weduwe! Most women who undergo surgery kuda kufadza varume!"
In the simplest terms this is what we call 'low self-esteem'. A classic example of a woman who has issues with herself that have been planted in her mind for years and years and years but uses men as a fallback. If the man you are with does not quite like how you look, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME TRYING TO BECOME WHAT YOU CAN NEVER BE TO HIM. How, again, do you knowingly stay with a man who doesn't even appreciate you? That man is using you for his selfish needs because he knows you are gullible like that. Part of that is your fault - for letting him. If you are 18 and know no better, fine, you are excused for being silly (you WILL learn) but if you are 29 and still jumping through hoops doing unrealistic things 'kuda kufadza varume', you need help. You are exhibiting more of fragility than initiative for progress. Some women need to start claiming ownage for such issues instead of blaming men for them. JUST BECAUSE A MAN DOES NOT LIKE YOUR BODY, IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU SHOULD NOT!
In some serious cases that get to this surgery stage it might not be mhosva yevarume after all. There is a disease for that you know. It's called BDD. I took the liberty to google some background info for you:
"Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a psychological disorder where a person is preoccupied with minor or imaginary physical flaws. BDD usually develops in teenagers, a time when individuals are most concerned about the way they look to others. It has been suggested that teasing or criticism regarding appearance could play a contributory role in the onset of BDD. While it is unlikely that teasing causes BDD, likewise, extreme levels of childhood abuse, bullying and psychological torture are often rationalized and dismissed as "teasing", sometimes leading to traumatic stress in vulnerable persons. Similarly to teasing, parenting style may contribute to BDD onset; for example, parents who either place excessive emphasis on aesthetic appearance, or disregard it at all, may act as a trigger in the genetically-predisposed. A person with BDD tends to have cosmetic surgery, and even if the surgeries are successful, does not think they are and is unhappy with the outcomes. However, many patients suffer for years before seeking help."
Seek help. I urge you.
3. "This other girl wants to enlarge her butt coz aneta nekuti all the guys she's been with cheated on her with bootylicious babes! Pressure!"
This one is just as bad as 'Guys don't like me because i have small boobs' or 'Men will only start approaching me if i get to a size 8'. Refer to the first point. Hearing a woman say that irks me but it's way too common right now, some ladies need to get a grip. A woman's worst enemy is her own mind. In this scenario, that girl is blaming her own body for a cheating man's conduct. It's in her mind i said. Excuses. That 'if i could just lay it on him a bit better he would never leave me' mentality. No my dear, you are very mistaken coz homeboy is just an a**hole. That man just dogged you out and all you can think about is that it's your small booty's fault? And a huge booty brings mysterious bonuses like the capacity to steal other people's men. Yea, sure. Tell you what? After getting butt implants next homeboy prolly will leave you for a girl with a smaller, petite body. Then what's next for you? Ref:- BDD.
Most members of VLAZ (Vagina Lovers Association of Zimbabwe) i know will agree that a woman with a low self esteem, no matter how fine, is a huge turn off. Why would i want to be with a woman who is always praising the next girl for having a bigger ass or bigger tits than she does? It's annoying and quite putting off. At the same time, you yourself will most likely always feel 'beneath' other females and even people in general. Then when you wonder why guys 'don't like you' the truth eludes you. It's not your body, it's that vibe and negative aura you carry above your head the whole damn day. It's not invisible.
Every man will have his preference of the kind of woman he is attracted to physically and you prolly fall in a few million dudes' bracket as much as the next girl. Sure, hit the gym and all, you can make some reasonable adjustments if need be but don't get carried away with it. LOVE YOURSELF!

Aston Martin One-77: A supercar fit for James Bond
Posted in cars
This amazing vehicle might not be named 007, but the styling and overall badness (not to mention the ~ £1.2 million price tag) of Aston Martin's latest supercar – One-77 – definitely add up to a real-world Bond car. Only 77 of these 700hp handcrafted aluminum-clad beasts (with a top speed over 200mph) will ever be produced.

Chelsea Cleaning offers professional mattress cleaning in Cape Town and the Helderberg. Sleep easy, knowing that you and your family aren't being exposed to dust mites, bacteria and other pollutants.
How we clean mattresses
Chelsea Cleaning's process for cleaning mattresses involves:
- high-power vacuuming
- use of industry-leading stain removal formulas and emulsion cleaners to treat soiled areas
- a steam clean that uses hot water extraction
- a final vacuum
- air drying.
Why have your mattresses cleaned?
We spend roughly eight hours out of every day of our lives on a mattress – but unlike our clothing or even carpets or curtains, mattresses tend to get overlooked when it comes to cleanliness.
Over time, shed skin cells, dander from pets, dust and pollen work their way into a mattress. In turn, the mattress becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and dust mites, which feed especially on discarded skin cells. In addition, mould thrives in mattresses, especially in warm climates like the one we have in South Africa.
When your mattress is dirty, mite excrement, dust, mould spores and other organisms are blown up in a cloud whenever you toss or turn, or sit on the bed. A simple bed sheet isn't enough to prevent these microscopic organisms from making it to your nose, eyes and mouth.
For millions of people, exposure to these pollutants causes allergies or makes their existing allergies worse. It can also provoke asthma attacks.
Even if you don't suffer from these conditions, the thought of being exposed to these pollutants when you sleep is far from appealing.
How often to have your mattress cleaned
The recommended guideline is to have your mattress professionally cleaned at least once a year. If you have pets or small children, it's a good idea to clean your mattresses more often.
In between, you can help keep mites, dust and other pollutants at bay through regular vacuuming, although ensure you use a vacuum with a filter.

It comes with great sadness to say we had to slightly shake up our visit to Turkey. Originally we planned to go to up the coast of Turkey to Istanbul but recent events have made that slightly unfeasible. Government advice (read mum and dad) suggest that travel be reconsidered for Istanbul, what a shame!
Instead we are in the cosmopolitan city of Izmir, which luckily is delightful. You can consume as much media coverage on Turkey as you like, but the reality seems much different. So far as what we have seen, Turkey is pleasant, safe and welcoming. Everyone is driving brand new cars, people are merry, eating out on the street, it just seems like any other city just trying to get on with life. The food is just incredible, köfte, kebabs, grilled meats, lahmacun – yum!
The lesson of this story is, it always pays to have a contingency plan and sometimes when you travel you need to be prepared for change! Our Plan B, fly direct to Istanbul and catch a flight out of there, more on that later.

Our Rum Guy has been drowning his sorrows once again based upon all of the sports book bets he has lost in the last few months. Well at least when he hits the bottle to bury his sorrows, he opens an new bottle of rum and passes on his observations. And here is yet another. He is up to over thirty such reviews, so if he is not an expert in the normal sense, he at least has to be revered for his motto of taste, taste and taste again. And now from the bottom of the gutter, his review of Mt. Gay Rum.
"We Are Family" sang Sister Sledge back in the 1970's. "ah,ah,ah, my sisters and me". OK. I know this dates me, but who cares, it is what it is, so just go with it. Today we review The Mount Gay Black Barrel rum, part of the Mount Gay "family" of rums which include the Extra Old which was previously reviewed. Mount Gay Distilleries began back in 1703 on the Caribbean island of Barbados. Rum's origins, while murky, are forever linked with sailors. With voyagers trading around the world, Barbadian rums and the island's sugar cane became known for their superior flavor and textures. The Mount Gay rums continue that tradition. The Distillery uses deep underground water that was naturally filtered through coral limestone, then distilled further. Their famous sugar cane is then turned into molasses and then, according to their website, they still use the traditional double copper pot stills for distillation. Usually, the rum is then aged, which they prefer to use the term, "maturing" in charred white oak barrels that were first used for American Whiskey as well as blended. The Black Barrel is said to be a small batch, handcrafted blended in heavily charred oak , hence the "black barrel' name.
Pictured Left: Mount Gay Rum Black Barrel
The bottle itself is clear glass, with a black and yellow label with the name quite prominently displayed and a hand-drawn map of the island of Barbados. While the label is busy, it also advises of the source of the spring water used and the name of the Master blender as well as the type of barrels and how blended. I felt knew what I was buying.
Removing the cork releases the aromas of the Caribbean, soft sand, palm trees swaying in the breeze, warm sun and easy nights. This is a nice gold coloring as it slides into the glass. First taste on the tongue is bold, and can be overpowering if not prepared. There is a hint of spice, and vanilla, with a touch of fruit and caramel. The finish burns a little due to the high alcohol content. This could be a good sipping rum if you like strong rums and add a slice of lime on the side. The 86 proof is stronger than most rums, and for some that takes some getting used to. This rum slips smoothly into both regular and diet cola. It works well with frozen Boat Drinks.
At approximately $30 a bottle, this is not a cheap rum, but it is a good rum for the upper-middle edge of the price range. It is not as pricey as the Mount Gay Extra Old" but worth the cost. This rum gets a firm 7 corks out of 10 and is a welcome addition to the Mount Gay family, .",,,come on everybody and dance…"
Widely distributed, pick up a bottle on your own and compare…..I believe you will think the 7 corks is at least the minimum that this fine rum should fetch. Just do not let the higher proof creep up on you, especially if you are not on the couch firmly embedded in your home. Mixing can sneak up up on you. But I highly encourage to try sipping first. Take a long look at the depth of color and aroma….this is a good value for a rum
The Rum Quest continues…..
The Rum Guy
My latest attempt at finding the world's best rums for the best value is called , "Old Monk" rum. This is a 7 year old, vatted, blended rum. Almost all rums are blended as part of the final step in making rum. It helps provide consistent flavor and color. "Old Monk" comes in an attractive, squat bottle, with a short neck and pebbled, or almost etched glass, reminiscent of clear alligator hide. The busy, unimpressive label is black and red with Olde-English script. The surprising part was it country of origin: India. This rum is a product of Ghaziabad, an industrial city in Upper Pradesh, India. It is in the northeast corner of the country towards Nepal but not far from Delhi. Being unfamiliar with India, I was at first quite surprised and then pleased to try this rum.
First, a few kitchen chores: Here is the link to the website Old Monk Rum
The dark, sugar cane rum is supposedly one of the world's top sellers. Upon opening the screw top and inhaling the aroma, the rich, tad-more-than-semi-sweet flavor wafted gently up. The sugar-cane was very present and quite promising. As I poured a shot for straight-up tasting into my glass, the rum presented even more, a dark maple-syrup color, and rich texture. This 80 proof rum had a very impressive first taste. Rolling it over the tongue, the flavor was strong, earthy, smoky, with just a little bite at the finish. This is a rum you can drink straight, or even better, over ice. Mixed with Coke, Cherry Coke Zero, it blends very well. Mixing it with various fruit juices it mixed surprisingly smooth, unusual for a dark rum. Some dark rums overpower the fruit juice, some simply cover it like a heavy smog bank layered on top of the juice. This rum blends with a smooth teamwork where both juice and rum are present and pleasantly enhanced. I have not yet tried it in Boat Drinks, for my "Frozen Concoctions", but almost always it will be a similar result to mixing with fruit juices. If it works for one, it will work for the other. I look forward to it.
Net result: For $18-$22 a bottle, this rum is a keeper. Great value, very good flavor and texture. A good choice.
Correction: My previous Low Budget Rum Review gave a mixed grade for "Mount Gay Extra Old". It was a very expensive rum, very smooth, but I felt not a very good value given the taste vs. price. I have to humbly adjust my grade. After finishing the entire bottle, I realized my opinion had risen considerably about this rum. If you are looking for high quality and the higher price doesn't scare you away, I would highly recommend this rum. It has caused a change to my rum rankings below:
1) Pyrite
2) Plantation Grande Reserve (Barbados)
3) Old Monk
4) Mount Gay Extra old
5) Flor De Cano—12 yr
The Quest continues….

Then it's "Tommy this," an' "Tommy that," an' "Tommy 'ows your soul?"
But it's "Thin red line of 'eroes," when the drums begin to roll.
The thin red line is stretched thinner yet. Tommy Atkins, the quintessential British solder, is needed not only in Northern Ireland ("Tommy this") but now in Bosnia ("Tommy that") because the British government of John Major favors a large European peace-keeping force to protect supposedly safe zones for Muslims that are yet to be agreed upon. The Coldstream Guards get their turn at the duty Britain has already undertaken protecting convoys and such in Bosnia.
The magnificent bearskin-hatted Guards at whom tourists gawk at British military ceremonies are the real thing. They take their turn at the nasty assignments. The British peacetime army is a thin red line, indeed. New assignments tax the force structure.

SMITHFIELD, Va. — Smithfield Foods strongly denies the statements made by the Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) and Waterkeeper Alliance. We are fully compliant with the agreement that we reached with the Waterkeeper Alliance in U.S. Eastern District Court in 2006. We welcome the court's review of this matter.
The SELC/Waterkeeper Alliance's news release is falsely and unfairly attacking an industry that acts responsibly and provides jobs and a good livelihood for tens of thousands of North Carolinians. Contrary to their claims, none of the farms referenced in the press release have been shown to have caused groundwater contamination.
Under the 2006 agreement, we agreed to a risk-ranking system that evaluated whether 260 hog farms in North Carolina presented any potential groundwater risk. The system identified only 11 of the 260 farms (4.2 percent) as warranting further evaluation for potential risk.
Following that evaluation, Smithfield independently commissioned a third-party study to conduct onsite investigations and data collection at those 11 farms. The Waterkeeper Alliance instead insists that the farms undertake what it calls "corrective" steps that we believe are unnecessary and inefficient and that even pose safety risks.
This is simply a disagreement over what the agreement requires. We at Smithfield have sought to resolve the disagreement for two years. We even entered into mediation, which was unsuccessful. It will now be up to the court to resolve the matter.
We must ask whether the goal of the Waterkeeper Alliance here is to unfairly stigmatize hog farmers. These farmers work hard, spend a great deal of money and use sophisticated technology to comply with strict state and federal regulations. Hog farming is one of the most heavily regulated sectors in all agriculture. Every farm is inspected every year, and every farmer must maintain detailed records. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the Waterkeeper Alliance's attacks on hog farms are misleading and unjustified.
Hog farmers are doing a good job, and we will continue to resist the Waterkeeper Alliance's attacks on them.

The current generation is the first of its kind – a generation completely monitored from cradle to grave. We are accommodating the state by placing surveillance cameras in places they could not otherwise be installed. And it is not just the state that has an interest in what we are doing at all times. If anything, the corporate appetite for watching our every move is even bigger, practically insatiable.
If you are older than 30, these facts probably make you pretty nervous. Older than 40, and you are downright terrified. Over 50, and it is likely you are not aware of the full extent of societal monitoring. Back in the day, this level of monitoring was unthinkable. It was the plot of dystopian fiction.
This is one of those areas where the generations clash. Younger people are swaddled by the comforting embrace of monitors and trackers. They would be uneasy without it. They already know the value of the all-seeing eye and ear. As for the rest, this is a brief examination of why the dawn of Generation M: the monitored generation, is not such a bad thing. In fact, you are probably already participating in the change without giving it much thought. Here are a few examples of what I mean:
Monitored Home Security
There has been monitored home security for a long time. Whether you choose ADT or some other security option, you will be voluntarily participating in one of the greatest benefits of a monitored society. Monitoring does not have to include cameras. Sensors on the doors and windows, along with motion sensors inside the house provide valuable information about what's going on inside and outside of the house. It is the kind of information you want people to have.
While cameras are not usually a part of a standard package, there are many benefits to adding third-party security cameras to the mix. In the case of a break-in, cameras provide footage that gives us insight into exactly what happened. We can be alerted of suspicious behaviour around the home while we are away. And of course, there are the obvious benefits of having a baby monitor and pet monitor. Monitoring provides security and peace of mind that we wouldn't have without it.
"Hey Siri"
Every time you call out to a digital assistant such as Siri, Alexa, or Cortana, you are participating in Generation M. Your iPhone is presently listening to everything 24/7. It is only listening for a particular phrase. But to get that phrase when spoken, it has to listen to everything. And this is from a company that deeply cares about security.
Your brand new Pixel 2 from Google is also listening to everything around you, and it acts on more than just a phrase. It catalogues the music that happens to be playing so that you can identify it. This happens despite the fact that you didn't ask for that identification to happen. This is a part of the pros and cons of being monitored all the time. Convenience is always a two-edged sword. But increasingly, we are expecting even more convenience from our tech.
Find My Friends
One of the best things about the modern cell phone is that it can be tracked as long as it is sending out a GPS signal. And whether or not you are actively using a mapping app, your phone is always trackable via GPS. It is a thing that saves lives. And it also enables parents to keep up with the kids. It allows for features like "Find My Friends" to work. Similar tracking capabilities are also available on Android.
Even the most paranoid among us want to be monitored and tracked sometimes. It is just that we want certain guarantees that such monitoring and tracking cannot be done when we don't want it. But that is the interplay between security and convenience. While we rage against being monitored, we buy products like the Echo Spot as if unconcerned that we just placed a camera next to the bed.
Security, convenience, and location services are just a few of the ways we have already signed on to the new reality of constant monitoring and tracking. So far, the benefits have far outweighed the negatives.

These photos of the 6 Days Berlin 2011 by sports photographer Kerstin Winterkamp is nothing short of amazing. We can't stress enough how stunning these photos are. Well composed, shot and edited. Of course, these photos has gone under some serious post processing but you can't deny the high quality and stunning composition of these photos. We have never seen the 6 Days in such a gritty fashion. Moreover one of our favorite shots are those of the surroundings, and the inanimate things usually taken for granted by photographers. It makes for quite a compelling story. Generally though, these photos follow the lives of Leif Lampater and Christian Grasmann, so take a peek at what goes in and out of the 6 Days Berlin. Unfortunately though, there are no photos of the Hooters style ladies surrounding the velodrome.

text: Here's what to do on a first date. A first date can be awkward and boring or it can be the first step toward love and fulfillment. It depends on the people involved and their preparation and goals. On one of my first dates I remember throughout the date the guy kept asking, "How am I doing?" This is something you absolutely should not do. First, because it is annoying and second, because nothing shows insecurity and neediness more than asking for reassurance from someone you do not know well.

After this, she started bawling.
Usually Audrey absolutely looooves getting a bath, but tonight, that was just not the case at all. However, today (and the past few days in general) she has been a little extra fussy and needy than usual. I'm sure it's just a phase. She just seems unsettled. Growth spurt perhaps? Or maybe she's just not having a good day. We're all entitled to that every now and then, right?
For some reason, she got unusually fussy during bath time. She always seems to like bath time, so I felt kind of bad for her. She has these little Baby Einstein bath books, and when I read them to her, she gets so excited and arches her back and flails her arms and pushes off her legs. She practically goes under; I have to keep a strong hold on her! She loves reading books it seems. Granted, tonight I was taking pictures of her, so maybe that pissed her off. I know I wouldn't want someone taking pictures of me in the bath tub, especially if I had farted/pooped a little the past two baths. I mean, I always courteously crop out her lady parts. But come on, she just looked so damn cute. She always does, especially when lounging in her little pink bath tub. I can't help it.
Before her umbilical cord fell off, we had to give Audrey sponge baths which she absolutely despised. It must have been so freezing. I would suck to be wiped down with a wash cloth while being completley naked on a countertop while your entire family looks on. It usually went something like this:
Uggh those umbilical cords are pretty nasty looking. I didn't know that babies went home wiht those things until, like, a month or two before I had her. I guess it's one of those things that no one tells you about having a baby. Jeesh, I should make a list of all those things.
Anyway, I must admit, after it fell off (some of it came off on Easter as my Grandma was cuddling with her...awkwaaaard), I stored it in a little Zip-Loc bag. Is that weird? As a mother, I find the need to keep the most ridiculous things (umbilical cord bits) and write down the most random details (the first time Audrey had an explosive poop while getting her diaper changed). It's weird. But so much fun.
However, after her sponge baths, she was always greatly relieved and ended up looking more like this:
Now it's like the opposite. She loooves hanging out in her spa-like bath tub, but she hates getting out, even if she is wrapped and cuddled in a hooded towel. Usually when I get her out of the tub she screams and screams. It's the most crying she does in a day. Other than that, she's usually relatively calm.
On the topic of baths, those hooded towels are soo freaking cute. I want a towel like that! I'm not gonna lie, the duck towel (below) totally fit on my head while I was trying to entertain her. I cracked myself up while she more or less looked at me like, "Mom, you're crazy."
I'm sure I'll get that look more and more as the years pass by. And I love it :)

Ratings for Dr. Folashade P. May
I saw Dr Fola May for the first time in gastro clinic last week. She was the first doctor to sit down and really listen to me about the problems I have bene having with belly pain for a long time. She asked me questions that none of the other doctors have asked me before to get to the true problem. This is the first time I look forward to going back to the docter!
Dr May is one of the new GIs at Cedars. She took care of me in the hospital twice. I have a rare condition that no one knew much about until I came to Cedars. Dr May and the team understood my pain and took excellent care of me. She listens, speaks clearly, and always explained my tests. I wish she had a permanent clinic there by they say she does not
If you do not follow her "rules" as a patient she will add a note into your medical records saying that you were abusive to her and her staff. She is out for her gold badge with MGH. She is a liar, con-artist and will do anything to make you look bad if you do not do what she WANTS.

In the halls of the fundamentalist Islamic schools that preach hate of America and the West, children sit and learn. With innocent ears and bright eyes, what they learn becomes "fact." Their youth and inexperience prevent them from comprehending neither alternatives nor the underlying dogma. This hatred becomes a part of their lens, with life decisions framed by this fiery rhetoric. We can not hope for a change of heart and a different, more peaceful future if their spiritual leaders and teachers preach anger and hate.
The news media has dissected the speeches of Reverend Wright, revealing his loathing for America. His dark message of anger and fear is meant to energize and focus his followers. This is in stark contrast to the deep and abiding love fiercely expressed by Mitt Romney, a man who, by contrast, believes America is a great nation.
In Reverend Wright's congregation were also children, our future. Barack Obama can offer his nuanced basis for separating the speaker from the message. He can denounce Wright's statements as hateful and wrong, while understanding and explaining the failings of every human being. He tells us that we all err and go too far at some point in our lives, that's humanity. Yet in that congregation where they prayed for many years sat Barack and Michelle Obama with both of their own children.
The young cannot clearly distinguish between good and bad, the damned and the righteous. They can't filter the differences between the message and the man. Our own legal system separates them as minors, incapable of full capacity. Reverend Wright was their spiritual leader as well. He was a person they believed was good, a role model. His words were important and their meaning singular and simple, taken at face value. They believed in him, as do children in the congregations of all religious leaders.
While we discuss the implications of the relationship between Reverend Right and Barack Obama, we should consider very carefully the characteristic of judgment. While Reverend Wright clearly had an adult agenda and a political statement to make, Barack Obama had a direct responsibility for the mental stability and growth of his children. As a parent, I try to be vigilant about the nature and tone of messages that are sent to my children. I watch the TV shows they select, the movies they see, the websites they visit and the friends they choose.
Of course, I can't control everything. But one aspect of their lives that I have a significant amount of control over is their relationship to religion. I make every attempt to have them learn lessons that positively impact their relationship to others and their country, and which provide a basis for strength in difficult times as well as hope and joy. I am careful to listen to sermons and speeches to ensure that the messages of my religious leaders do not deviate from my beliefs and sensibilities – not because I can't understand the differences but because my children are actually better listeners than I am.
Barack Obama lacked the judgment and fortitude to remove himself and his family from Wright's congregation, or maybe he didn't think the message spewed was really all that offensive. His failure put his children at risk to accept this type of doctrine, whether found in the specific speeches we have heard or in the general tone of the Reverend's leadership. This inability to make tough decisions represents his overall failure to grasp the fabric of American society and stand tall against those who seek to undermine our way of life, whether through fiery rhetoric, socialist malaise, or shoe bombs.
Hundreds of thousands of men and women have given their lives, and that sacrifice is part of our national identity. Mitt Romney is not afraid to unabashedly verbalize his love for America, a welcome respite from the often constrained utterances we hear from Barack Obama. As a nation, we continue to stand as a single beacon in the world for the triumph of humanity in society. When we strip hope and fierce self-determination from our children, we plant seeds of destruction and risk the fate of peoples who find it easier to hate and be angry than to own up to their individual responsibility to improve not only their lives, but that of their fellow man.
Our children are our future; the lessons they learn should be of strength and happiness, forgiveness and charity, not anger and fear. If Barack Obama, as a parent, could not exercise sound judgment to protect his children from Reverend Wright's message of hate – how can he be the right person to lead this great nation into the future?

How It Works
We require 8-20 people per tasting, and we will book larger groups upon request. There is a $12 tasting fee per person. If an individual desires to purchase a bottle of wine, the tasting fee will be waived. For groups smaller than 8, we will try to combine you with a tasting already scheduled.

Plan on approximately 2 hours for the entire tasting with the garden tour. You may also bring snacks to be enjoyed during the wine tasting, any foods you feel will compliment your wine.
