Meet the Adriatic » Montenegro - Nautical paradise
Crystal blue sea, endless lines of beaches, restless rivers and magnificent mountains have enhanced Montenegro with everything necessary to spend unforgettable vacation there. It is situated in the heart of the Adriatic, only a few hours of flight away from the major European cities. Lately it has become very popular and is on the way of becoming elite destination. Government and investors efforts have caused tourism rate of this country to be the highest growing one in the world. Since Montenegro reaches the Adriatic through Boka Kotor bay - a submerged river canyon, some consider (groundless opinion) Boka as fjord. This southernmost part of the Venetian Dalmatia right on the border with Ottoman Empire, with Budva close by, is famous for its monuments and natural beauties: Perast and Kotor which are under protection of UNESCO, and islands Our Lady of Skrpjel and St. George. This exquisite coast line is just one piece of all natural beauties of Montenegro - the mountains take up more than 70% of the territory. The canyon of the river Tara is the deepest one in Europe and it is remarkable just like the National Park Durmitor protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with one of the last preserved forests of black pine trees in Europe. Starting from Palaeolithic through Iron Age, all the way to Renaissance and Baroque, Montenegro is rich with cultural heritage. Monasteries and churches spread out across the whole country unveiling its spiritual wealth. Orthodox monastery Ostrog, dedicated to St. Vasilj, carved high up in the rocks, attracts tourists from all over the world due to its spiritual power and unique ambience. The coastal cities shall conquer your heart with their charm, diversity and scents of the Mediterranean. Ulcinj is located in the far south with the longest 'Heavenly beach' configured of fine sand, which derives from Skadar lake, for centuries deposited there by Bojana.
Olcinium, founded in 163 BC, was an important merchant marine centre famous for selling salt and slaves, for centuries avoided by many, including Venetians and Boka people, for being a pirates nest. This city offers 360 m long sandy beach called 'Small beach' swarming with people in the summer time. Its features hold a great potential for high quality tourism. In 1639 the church of St. Mary from the 13th ct., located in the old town, was turned into a mosque. The Bishop's Palace from the 13th ct. hosts today Ethnographic Museum and a fabulous model of the city can be observed in the building of Venetian custom post. orthodox church of St. Nikola (1890) can be visited outside the City walls, as well as Pasha's mosque with Turkish bath (1719) and Sahat-tower from the 18th ct... Bilingual inscriptions tell us of the domineering population - Albanians. The mouth of the river Bojana has been for decades a nudist paradise - sand dunes of untouched beaches buzzing with restaurants in stilt - houses, typical for the Ulcinj Riviera. Nearby Bar is a very old city, mentioned in the 9th ct. under the name of Antbareos, holding position of significant trade port. It is 180 km away from Otrant Gate, representing major connection port between the Eastern Mediterranean and the rest of the Europe. The multi - ethnical features of the town are also obvious through many orthodox, catholic and Muslim monuments.This modern port town amazes with its cleanliness and greenery. The remains of the Haj Nehaj structure from the 15th ct. together with the castle of King Nikola belong to the cultural monuments of the city. Festivals and cultural events contribute to high level of the cultural offerings. Suscepan, well known as St.Stefan is an exclusive town - hotel, built by the land owners, traders and fishermen in the 15th ct. - located on an island that was later connected to the mainland by a sandbank offering two magical beaches of fine reddish sand. Budva has been a metropolis of the Montenegrin tourism ever since the 60s. It puts at visitors disposal a wide range of hotels, restaurants, gambling houses and cafés. lt is considered to be one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world due to its numerous breathless beaches stretching along 21 km long shoreline. The old town lies on a small peninsula and represents a treasure chest of the cultural heritage - the Church of St.Trinity, St.John, the Church of Our Lady, palaces of local noblemen built during the reign of Venetians. Tivat is situated in the central part of Boka kotorska, built around former war port and navy yard.
Even though today it stands for the smallest modern town of Boka, it has the biggest port for yachts as well as airport. The number of mega yachts in the ports of Boka and Montenegro shore has doubled in the past years, especially after opening of super yacht - marina Porto Montenegro, which has the privilege, though not too many ports in the world enjoy such feature, of hosting yachts more than 24 m long. Porto Montenegro is located in the natural cove and is the most protected port of the Eastern Mediterranean - the former Austro - Hungarian naval base. It provides promenade and apartments at the waterfront, hotels, cafés and restaurants, art galleries, daily spa centres, beauty salons, boutiques... an array of relaxation and recreational offerings, including Sports club,Yacht club, Maritime Museum and a pool Lido Mar 64 m long, lounge bar, beaches introducing possibility of experiencing diving, mountaineering, rafting, skiing... The aim of the marina is to meet the wishes of the yachts owners regardless of the yacht size. lt will offer 650 berths when complete, including those for super yachts and a floating dock for repairs. So far five residential buildings have been built: Teuta, Zeta, Ozana, Milena and Tara containing 3.500 m2 of business premises and 130 high - standard apartments. Current marina capacity is 370 berths, containing 50 berths for mega - yachts. Besides marina, a dynamic waterfront city with apartments, hotels, restaurants, and shops will be built. But that is only a part of the whole story: Porto Montenegro symbolizes project that shall contribute to the development of new tourist image of Montenegro, having in mind exquisite maritime advantages. That new, yet long - term investment shall transform Tivat into global centre of nautical tourism. The big picture of Peter Munk, the Canadian businessman, is to have a complete service with waterfront residence, relaxation and recreation, but also possibility of living in the marina residential community. The customers can enjoy duty - free fuel, repair and maintenance of mega - yachts at Bijela shipyard, and the rest of the offering includes services of charter agencies, nautical shop Freedom Maritime providing logistics support to the vessels in the marina.
Porto Montenegro organizes an array of social activities, sailing races, sailing school, bilingual classes based on international Baccalaure Programmes. At the foot of Lovcen, in the heart of the most beautiful bay on the Mediterranean, the town of Kotor. It represents town of rich culture and tradition and used to be town of seamen and traders. It has the best preserved architecture on this part of the Mediterranean in scribed on UNESCO World Heritage List. 2000 years old history has left its traces: cathedral of St. Tripun, churches St. Luka and St. Mary from the 13th ct., St. Anna from the 12th ct., and church of Our Lady of Health from the 15th ct. - are just a part of rich treasure chest of Kotor tradition. Every year carnivals and festivities are organized bringing out additional charm of the town. Risan is the oldest town in Boka, founded as lllyrian settlement in the 3rd ct. BC, as craftsmen, maritime and trading centre of the lllyrian state. with the arrival of Romans, palaces were built ornamented with beautiful floor mosaics, representing today valuable cultural heritage. Among numerous mosaics, there is the mosaic of the God of sleep Hypnosis. Perast, the sleeping Baroque town, with the most fabulous structures of Boka kotorska that were constructed during its flourish period in the 16th and 17th ct., and large villas built by sea captains from Perast famous families Bujovic, Martinovic, Brajkovic... certainly captures attention of every visitor. Herceg Novi is the town well known for its Mimosa tree and zillion of steps, the town of 'sun', adorned with Sahat tower (1667), fortresses Spanjola (1538) and Forte mare (1687). lgalo is famous for its high class hotels and health - rehabilitation tourism.

Mark Greenberg, president and CEO of Epix, quit a boring job on Wall Street to join HBO in 1981, a time when the pay TV service was the very definition of cable to most consumers.
His first job? Training local operators how to sell HBO to their customers. It gave him a street-level understanding of what subscribers wanted most for their $8 a month: hit movies.
"We sold the novelty aspect of being able to have all these movies in your home," recalls Greenberg, who is being inducted into the Variety Home Entertainment & Digital Hall of Fame on Dec. 6.
That early experience at HBO laid the foundation for a career revolving around expanding consumer choices for high-end content in the home. In 2008 he partnered with Lionsgate, MGM, and Paramount Pictures to launch Epix, a premium service that was ahead of the curve in envisioning the public's appetite for on-demand streaming content. Epix typically offers subscribers a streaming menu of 2,000 titles at any given time.
"When we launched Epix we knew that linear TV was just one platform," Greenberg says. "Digital was a way of giving people more choice and more convenience. It's not that different from the old days of going to a Blockbuster store. We've just put it in the cloud."
In the 1980s, the state of the art for consumer marketing of pay TV service was direct mail advertising. HBO sent out some 100 million direct-response pitches during Greenberg's eight years in affiliate sales and marketing. "I was responsible for killing a lot of trees," Greenberg recalls. "But that's how you drove cable penetration."
A native of New Haven, Conn., Greenberg earned his undergraduate degree in political science at Providence College. After a stint working for the city of Boston, he moved to New York and became a financial analyst for a Wall Street firm. But it wasn't long before he was miserable. His roommate worked as an auditor at HBO and constantly touted it as "the coolest company ever." It took him nine months and 26 interviews, but he finally landed a job at HBO.
"HBO was a very special place in those days," he says. Greenberg earned an MBA from Columbia during his tenure at HBO. In 1989, he was brought over to Showtime by marketing executive Nora Ryan, who works for Greenberg today at Epix.
In his 17 years at Showtime, Greenberg did everything from marketing and affiliate sales to business development to running its pay-per-view sports and event business. "Nobody else wanted to manage Mike Tyson and Don King," he says of the famed fighter and boxing promoter.
After leaving Showtime in 2006, Greenberg spent time working as a consultant to Blockbuster Video. His insight into Blockbuster's operations taught him that the brick-and-mortar video store business was dying even as demand for access to movies in the home was stronger than ever. When he couldn't convince Blockbuster to move boldly into the digital future, he recruited Lionsgate, MGM, and Paramount to become the joint owners of Epix.
Over his nearly 35 years in the pay TV industry, Greenberg has never once felt the restlessness he did while toiling as a financial analyst.
"There are never two days alike in this business," he says. "You're recreating it every day. I can't imagine doing anything else."

In Making the Second Ghetto, Arnold Hirsch argues that in the post-depression years Chicago was a "pioneer in developing concepts and devices" for housing segregation. Hirsch shows that the legal framework for the national urban renewal effort was forged in the heat generated by the racial struggles waged on Chicago's South Side. His chronicle of the strategies used by ethnic, political, and business interests in reaction to the great migration of southern blacks in the 1940s describes how the violent reaction of an emergent "white" population combined with public policy to segregate the city.
Arnold Richard Hirsch was born on March 9, 1949. He received a bachelor's degree in 1970 and a Ph.D. in history in 1978 from the University of Illinois at Chicago. His best-known book, Making the Second Ghetto: Race and Housing in Chicago, 1940-1960, was published in 1983. He also edited two collections, one on creole New Orleans and the other on urban policy in 20th-century America. He began teaching history at the University of New Orleans in 1970 and was an emeritus professor there at the time of his death. He died from complications of Parkinson's disease and Lewy body disease on March 19, 2018 at the age of 69.


Market chatter about what the Federal Reserve's next steps will be suddenly has shifted from when it will raise rates to when it will offer more stimulus.
Mind you, no one believes the U.S. central bank is about to start printing money again anytime soon. However, there is talk that faced with a slowing global economy and a domestic market dependent on cheap debt, it's only a matter of time before the spigots get turned on once more.
"The Fed is not going to raise rates. They are at zero forever," said Peter Schiff, head of Euro Pacific Capital and one of the most well-known and impassioned of all the Wall Street Fed critics. "The Fed is not done with QE, they're just getting started. The Fed is doing QE4, QE5. This is a never-ending process."
The "QE" reference, of course, is to quantitative easing, the bond-buying program that added about $3.7 trillion to the Fed's now-$4.5 trillion balance sheet since late 2008. Three rounds of QE, plus the balance sheet-neutral Operation Twist, have helped boost the stock market dramatically, with the S&P 500 rising more than 190 percent off the March 2009 lows. But the impact on the real economy has been less tangible.
In addition to the previous rounds of QE, the Fed has kept its key interest rate near zero, holding down lending rates and keeping borrowing costs low for the $8 trillion in debt the government has added since the financial crisis.
With no room to take rates lower, markets in near-free fall and worries building over a global recession, another round of easing would be the only monetary policy option left.
"I don't believe they're ever going to raise rates, because they can't do it," Schiff said. "People actually believe in the legitimacy of the U.S. recovery, they believe in the Fed's rhetoric. The truth is, everything has gotten worse. All the Fed did was blow a bigger bubble. All they did was interrupt the financial crisis."
While unlikely to take any specific action in the near term, Fed officials could start leaving a trail of clues in upcoming public speeches. No time would be better, for instance, than the Aug. 27-29 retreat at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, the very site where then-Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke planted the seeds for QE2 back in 2010.
"It's not about QE happening. If the perception of QE (happening) goes from zero to 18 percent, that's a huge impact," said Lawrence McDonald, head of U.S. macro strategy at Societe Generale. "Maybe even have one Fed governor, the most dovish of the doves, like (Minneapolis Fed President Narayana) Kocherlakota ... lay it out there. If one of them does it, look out."
For now, the market's deliberations have focused on the timing of rate hikes, and the current verdict is that the first one since June 29, 2006, won't happen until January 2016. The CME's FedWatch indicator shows just a 24 percent chance of a move in September and a 49 percent chance in December.
Economist Michael Pento, founder of Pento Portfolio Strategies and a frequent Fed critic, said the central bank has work to do before it could take viable steps toward another round of QE.
"For the Fed to go back to QE, there are two problems: First, they'd have to admit that everything they've done since 2008 has been a complete failure," Pento said. "Then, you have the problem that QE doesn't really affect fundamentals in the economy, it only affects asset prices."
Indeed, a recent paper by Stephen D. Williamson, St. Louis Fed vice president, said there was no evidence that QE provided the economic help that its supporters touted.
Also, similar easing programs haven't done much elsewhere in the world. Japan's aggressive QE couldn't prevent a 0.4 percent contraction in second-quarter growth, while the euro zone is barely above water despite its own efforts, with just a 0.3 percent improvement in gross domestic product for the same period.
"Sixty trillion dollars in debt and seven years of ZIRP later, anyone who thought this was going to be a smooth and easy transition to escape velocity is getting a rude awakening," Pento said. "That fantasy is shattering."

Update on 35 Cooper Square
Via EV Grieve: 35 Cooper Square – 28,998 sq. ft. developable
The current owners of 35 Cooper Square have not yet decided whether to demolish the existing structure. City records trace the ownership to the Arun Bhatia Development Organization, which has built dorms for the New School and seven condo towers, most recently 137 Wooster Street.
Jane Crotty, a spokeswoman for Arun Bhatia, confirmed its ownership and said there was another partner involved, but declined to disclose the name. She said that plans were not finalized, but that the partnership sought an "as of right, mixed-use" project. Demolishing the existing building was an option, but no decision had been made, she said, and more details would be revealed in "three or four weeks."
Massey Knakal's Special Asset Strategy Group brokered the sale of the building and two parcels to the north last October, fetching around $8.5 million, for the entire lot's 28,998 buildable s/f.

Inspiration is just about everywhere even in my dreams.
I remember very clearly what I was doing when the Creative Brainstorm lightening bolt hit me upside the head. I was in the middle of reading Maria and Charlie Girsch's book Fanning The Creative Spirit and all of a sudden I realized that I needed to create a site that I could share inspiring stuff.
Where to start, how to go about it, what the heck was I doing, were some of the questions I was asking myself. Then I thought, who the heck cares, just get on with it and so I started collecting, writing, drawing, reading, photography, and designing. The point is is that I was being inspired and I was creating and this is what I had been looking for when I first started this crusade.
For me it comes down to putting myself in situations that make me think, dream, and create. What makes you inspired? Email me at heyyou [at] creativebrainstorm [dot] com. I'd love to write up an article about it.

KIconcerts New Year choir festival - Southwark Cathedral with Simon Carrington
KIconcerts was honored to present Simon Carrington and the Festival Gala Choir in London's Southwark Cathedral earlier earlier this month in a performance of the Coronation Anthems to welcome the year in which the Queen celebrates the 60th anniversary of her coronation and the Summer Games are staged (July/August).
In the presence of the representative of the Ambassador for the United States of America, an (over) capacity audience enjoyed the individual and combined performances by the Southern Connecticut State University Choir and Christopher Newport University Women's Chorus choirs together with singers from Texas A&M International University, Laredo Philharmonic Chorale and Westchester Chorale.
It was a night of triumphs including raising £2,000 for a local hospice!
Join us in England for custom or festival tours in 2013 and 2014 including a festival led by Jonathan Willcocks. Places are still open for individual basses, tenors and altos to sing in the ACDA National Youth Honor Choir to be presented in England in the summer of 2012 under the direction of Simon Carrington.

The short course was thought to be a plus for Vonn's curtain call. In Are, Vonn has been know to run into trouble in the upper section of the downhill.
Skiing third, Vonn stood in the gate, her right leg twitching with adrenaline. Leading up to her final race, Vonn had stated she would come out with "guns blazing," and she did.
Vonn picked up time on the leader throughout her run, starting off .23 seconds back at the first split, but by the time she crossed the finish line Vonn had taken the lead by .33 seconds.
"I laid it all on the line and that's all I wanted to do today. I have to admit I was a bit nervous," Vonn said after the race. "Probably the most nervous I've ever been in my life. I wanted to finish strong so badly and I had a really hard time controlling my nerves and I never have a hard time with that.
"I'm just happy I made it to the finish and I came down in the lead, which is nice for my last race and I'm also safe. I made it down safely. My boyfriend and my family are happy."
Fittingly, Vonn was able to sit in the leader's chair on her final day of racing. Vonn held the top spot through five skiers, then Slovenia's Ilka Stuhec, the reigning downhill world champion, dropped in for her run, crossing the finish line .49 seconds faster than Vonn.
Vonn clung to second place for ten more skiers, then Switzerland's Corinne Suter posted the second fastest time of the day, bumping Vonn to third, where she would stay to win the bronze.

Of course, some of us saw this coming. You don't have a man like Hizzona' Kwame Kilpatrick in office without knowing the man is dirty. I've always called the man a baby-eating thug, but that's beside the point. You look at his mother and his mistress and it's obvious he's only looking out for himself. There is arrogance of a job well done, and arrogance of knowing that one can't be touched. Kilpatrick and Beatty have flaunted the latter since the beginning of his administration. Their journey was almost over before it was begun with the revelation of the parties being held at the mansion and the body of stripper found shortly thereafter. Over this past summer from their positions on the witness stand they could see the hill where everything would be revealed. When his Communications Secretary was arrested for domestic violence and then promptly dropped from public view, the two held hands over a scented candle and said a prayer. When a traffic ticket issued to Beatty over the summer suspiciously disappeared and then magically reappeared a few weeks ago (which she actually showed up to pay in full), I turned to Doug and said " something's up. I was right. It was almost over and they knew it. They were trying to wash the walls and vacuum the carpets of their Crap Shack of Love in the hopes that the City of Detroit wouldn't notice the nicks in the wallpaper, the holes in the carpet, or the fact that the major appliances were missing. Even if the Citizens noticed the damaged to the walls and floor, maybe they wouldn't notice that the poorly constructed shanty had no roof and was missing a wall. Maybe they could charm their security deposit out of the City and quietly slip out of town before anyone really noticed.
The Detroit Free Press, the Mrs. Kravitz of Metro Detroit Media, put an end to that nonsense. Thank you editor, Paul Anger for all of your work. You did what we didn't have to – pour over fourteen thousand (14,000) text messages between Beatty and Kilpatrick, graphically detailing their relationship. Graphically. Shudder with me now. They can stop reading those over the air any time now.
So last night it was revealed by the Detroit Free Press that over 14,000 text messages between the Mayor of the City of Detroit, Kwame Kilpatrick, and his Chief of Staff, Christine Beatty, had an affair. While this is not ground-breaking news, as anyone can watch her behavior with the press and police to see her arrogance stems from deeper than the entitlement of her office, it directly affects the City where the City can least afford it. Over the summer the City fought and lost Whistleblower Lawsuit filed by former police officers who sued because they got too close to the affair to the tune of about nine million ($9,000,000) dollars. Actually the former police detective got too close to the truth after one of the first huge parties thrown by the Mayor at the Manoogian Mansion resulted in a dead stripper. Regardless, the two were fired and the two filed suit, alleging that they were fired because they asked too many questions about the party the mayor has always denied having, and they wanted justice for an exotic dancer the mayor wanted to forget was ever at the party he has always denied having.
"This isn't a witchhunt. This is a tragedy" or perhaps it's Stockholm's Syndrome.
The voters are victims. You can't complain about the State of the City being in the toilet if you have a Mayor doing everything in his power to move the City ahead. You can't complain bout the young people not sticking around. The voters of the City of Detroit voted the man in. Twice. I said it in November of 2005 after you voted that man back into office – you get what you deserve. Before you point to the media staging a witchhunt, remember that no have no police officers. You have no fire department. You have no street lights. You do have blight, and abandoned buildings, and crime, and potholes and companies unwilling to business in the City of Detroit. You can't play the victim card and then continue to defend the perpetrator.
The Mayor is currently asking for privacy in what is a very personal matter. You know what – if I were a taxpayer of the City, which I haven't been in fifteen years (thank goodness) I would drive over to the Mayor's residence and demand and explanation. As a taxpayer, I would be paying for his home, his cars, his drivers, and his seclusion, and he'd have to answer to me – his boss.
If the City had any sense – and it could happen, anything is possible – they'd demand his resignation as well as the removal of his staff. It's time to clean house, air out the closets, and exorcise the ghosts. The City can't afford to continue to pay for their parties and their love nests and represent them when they try to sidestep the law. Then the City can turn to former AG Mike Cox and ask him point blank what he knew about the parties and the stripper and how Kilpatrick bought his cooperation. How high does this go, and how long will it take the City to recover, if it ever does?
The City used by home, and once I even entertained moving back. I know the streets and the haunts and it has a scent in the summer that pulls at my soul. It's a smell of home and comfort. I don't anymore. I can't speak fondly of it's distorted beauty, it's gorgeous homes, the neat little tucked away hot spots. You guys are on your own for this one. Do you think maybe if I turn my back you'll entertain doing the right thing for a change?
Things are happening so fast I hope I can keep up.
This has been an embarassment for the whole of Southeastern Michigan because it validates everything negative said about the City and the people who live there.
I just hope that the City can make positive changes and go in a better direction after this. Kwame has done a lot towards making the downtown area more lively and tourism friendly, but the economic ambiance (or lack thereof) and aura of uncertainty hovering over the city is disconcerting. Your articles are very stirring and brought a smile to my face today! You made my day. Hopefully more upwardly mobile minds will emerge in this great and "wonderful" South-Eastern Michigan region.
Finally! A strong, intelligent African American woman who sees KK for what he is. As a lifetime resident of Detroit and its suburbs, I'm SICKENED by all of this. What really pushed me over the top, was when KK recently pimped out his wife and his church in an attempt to garner our sympathy for all that he has done. This is a very dangerous and diabolical man who yields WAY too much power. The city of Detroit is very near and dear to my heart and it hurts to watch it being held hostage by this thug and his cronies. Step off KK, and get the hell out of our city!!!
P.S. I'm praying that the yet to be revealed text messages link KK and his thugs to the vicious murder of the dancer who allegedly attended one of the many Manoogian Mansion parties.
Keep the voice little black duck!
This is a shocking story. The rumor is that Carlita Kilpatrick came home unexpectedly, saw the party at the mayoral abode and beat Tamara Greene so badly she had to be hospitalized. Is this true? We don't know, but given the fact Kilpatrick has lied about everything else (even lying under oath) his denials are hardly credible. Anyway are law enforcement officials repeatedly quoted as being afraid for their personal safety? This is obviously no longer a Detroit matter. Kilpatrick has proven he will go to any lengths to cover his lies and keep power. The police are either under Kilpatrick's control, or they are in fear of Kilpatrick's retaliation. Clearly an organization that is not controlled by Kilpatrick, or the equally suspect Mike Cox, should be called in to investigate. I hope Norman Yatooma gets some answers on this one.

Joseph Hubert Baron Sullivan (21 September 1890 – 8 February 1932) was an English amateur first-class cricketer, who played for one game for Yorkshire County Cricket Club in 1912, two for Cambridge University and one more for H. D. G. Leveson-Gower's XI in 1912.  He also played four first-class games for the Europeans in India from 1921/22 to 1924/25.

Born in York, Sullivan was educated at  St Peter's School, York, and Christ's College, Cambridge. He was a right-arm medium fast bowler, who took seven wickets at 27.71, with a best of 3 for 24 against the Indians.  He scored 209 runs as a right-handed batsman, with a best of 44, also against the Indians.  He took three catches in the field.

He died in February 1932 in Parkgate, Cheshire, aged 41.  His brother, Arnold Sullivan, played thirteen games for Cambridge University and Sussex.

Was just reading OnStartups latest post Startups: 10 Things MBA Schools Won't Teach You and getting all excited I started to comment then I felt I had more than one item to share, so thought to just blog it!
1. Its a roller coaster ride, one day you think you are on top of the world; the next day you might be thinking of how to close shop!
2. Having reserves is so nice on an excel sheet, working to actually have some is a totally different story.
3. A two week collection time on an invoice is not as binding as you might think it is. Every client has their own payment policy, prepare to be agile in planning your cash flow!
4. Giving a big discount to get more work from a client in the future, is a hoax. Next time -most of the time – they will demand the same discount for giving you more work! Make sure you know what you are doing!
5. Doing good is great, and if you are as passionate about the stuff you help build as I am, then you need to exert a lot of effort into how many pro bono/at-cost projects you might want to do. This however, they teach you very well in MBA schools!

Wasn't it an interesting Republican Presidential Primary last Saturday? The results were in line with most predictions, with Donald Trump thumping the rest of the field. Somewhat surprising was that Senator Ted Cruz finished no higher than third place, albeit very close to fellow Cuban-American Senator Marco Rubio. Although he finished second in Edgefield County, despite a large number of evangelical Pastors' endorsements Sen. Cruz did not carry a single county in our state.
People tend to view politics through a lens colored by discussions with friends, and friends who discuss politics with one another very often have similar views – or at least, they talk that way to their friends, before casting their secret ballots. That is probably why people who say, "Everybody I know supports my favorite candidate" are then surprised as well as disappointed when some other guy (or gal) wins. After primaries in "Open Primary" states like South Carolina it is often argued on talk radio and on social media that the other party must have infiltrated "our" Primary and caused the results to be skewed from the candidate that all True Republicans (or True Democrats) supported. I remember hearing that after Sen. Lindsey Graham defeated a raft of more conservative challengers in the 2014 Primary, and you can hear it now from disappointed Ted Cruz supporters.
There are strong reasons why many states have opted for Open Primaries. First among them is this: in order to have a Primary in which only, say, Republicans are allowed to vote, there must first be some registration process in which every voter has to choose what party she or he belongs to. But many voters consider themselves to be Independents, people who vote for the person and not for the party. Such voters are the true swing voters. They often act as a moderating influence, having decided to be Independent because they don't approve of either party's performance in recent years. Often the Independent voter is the one who sees one party as too doctrinaire and the other too hard to nail down; one party as too prone to drag us into overseas wars and the other not strong enough on defense; one party as not caring about the deserving poor and the other too willing to increase entitlements.
And independents need to be able to express their preferences in primaries as well as general elections, to provide candidates an incentive to seek middle ground rather than catering to the hardest line party faithful. Primary elections often show us that is just what happens. Inevitably, Republicans then accuse Democrats of skewing "their primary" away from the most conservative candidates, and Democrats likewise accuse Republicans of skewing Primaries away from the most liberal.
Of course, absent required party registration, you can't really tell which party's faithful actually voted in one party's primary. All things considered, that is a good thing. To paraphrase Sen. Barry Goldwater, extremism in defense of liberty loses elections every time. Independents voting in party primaries helps to prevent that.
If you're an Independent and didn't vote last Saturday in the Republican Primary, you might consider voting this Saturday in the Democratic one – for your favorite candidate, or against your least favorite. Regardless of which party you feel closest to, voting in whichever primary election you choose is your right, and it helps both parties to stay nearer the middle of the road.

One Response to "Open Primaries are a Good Idea By Robert Scott"
Yes, and I also have the right NOT to vote.


This is such a special place to stay - it really feels like you are in a luxury, secluded ski lodge. And that isn't too far from the truth. Perched at the top of the ski area the views from this hotel are incredible. The best place to watch the sunset over the mountains is in the restaurant with its floor-to-ceiling windows, plus it also serves up some pretty superb food too. Clip your skis on in the morning and you're away, and you can ski right back to the door - you can't beat that for ski-in/ski-out access and thanks to night-skiing running four times a week you can ski back to the hotel until 8:30pm most nights. Getting to and from the village is a doddle using the shuttle bus but you'll be pushed to leave this little mountain oasis.
Phenomenal location, ski-in/ski-out at the top of the mountain.
Modern, spacious rooms – the upgraded upper floor rooms have stunning views.
Restaurant serves superb food and has floor to ceiling windows with great views across the valley.
Lovely lounge bar which is a hot après ski spot after skiing at the weekend.
Shuttle bus runs to and from the base village and you can get home via night skiing 4 nights a week.
All rooms have minibar, telephone, satellite/cable, flat screen TV, Free WiFi.
Rooms for 2 people on Half Board sharing a hotel room with twin beds or double bed, and double sofa bed (max 3 adults) and en suite bathroom with shower, sink and WC.
Rooms on upper level floors with better views are available (some with baths) at a supplement.
Deluxe Rooms on the highest floor have stunning views over the valley/slopes, bathrobes and L'Occitane bath products – we love these rooms and would recommend paying the extra money for the view and added little luxuries.


Or rather this post should be titled 'How To Make Friends for Grown-ups'. People say that when you have a baby everything changes. You don't go out. You don't have any more fun. Your drinking and partying days are over. You lose all your friends. And you know what 'They' are right. The reality is that while all your single friends are going out for sushi and a movie or heading downtown to see the latest Detroit garage rock band or meeting up on a whim to go do karaoke at the local dive, you are rocking a teething child while singing 'Twinkle Twinkle' for the 20th time in a row. As much as we want to get back to 'normal' we don't have the spontaneous freedom that our previous lives offered. There's always a grandma or a babysitter to consider. And for me there's always an hour and a half drive just to see my old friends. So how does a new mom in a new city find a playdate for her little one or a couple of ladies to go walking while simultaneously commiserating with? Thank the universe there's a little website called Meetup.com!!
So many of my blogging friends live far away from their families and close friends. I'm guessing that like me that's why they started blogging. To update all their folks on their little nugget's progress. But for me it became much more than that. A way to 'talk' to people about what was going on with me while I was trying to figure out how to be a mom. It almost seemed easier than picking up the phone and calling folks that I assumed kept very different hours from me and were too busy to chat about my leaky breasts. I say assumed because I don't really know.
Many close friends just seemed to fade away from me once Cedella was born, and though we still talk on occasion, sadly, our friendships aren't nearly as close as they once were. I've never figured out why either. What I did or didn't do. Why they've never come up to visit us. Did we suddenly become less interesting cause we couldn't go out all the time? I've chalked it up to busy schedules or being out-of-sight and out-of-mind. It used to upset me quite a bit, it was incredibly lonely being in a new town, without anyone to relate to and on top of it being 6 months pregnant and unable to do anything 'fun'. But dwelling on losing friends is hard to focus on when you're trying to navigate cloth diaper stains or transitioning to solid foods.
As moms we eventually think that we need our infants to make 'friends' and the search for a playdate group is on. Let's be honest, when you're a baby you don't have to do much searching for friends. When do children really even start 'playing' with each other beyond taking toys from one another and trying to get what the other child is holding? Let's face it, if your Mama sets you down anywhere near another child your instantly friends. Cedella's social skills are pretty astute, albeit worrisome to her father. She is the classic flirt. The waves a silly little princess wave, followed by a big ole smile and some batting of the eyelashes. Then she goes in for the kill…the movie star kiss. Boys, girls, infants or toddlers. She wants to make out…now!
I had no idea how to find a playgroup. Then I read this hilarious post from Diana over at Hormonal Imbalances about her less than perfect first playdate through Meetup.com. That's when I went into full on research librarian mode. Spending hours sifting through mom groups, playdate groups and miscellaneous women's groups I finally found the group for me, henceforth known as The Group. But I certainly didn't expect joining said Group to be like applying for college.
I had to fill out an extensive application about myself including describing myself as a drink. I seriously AGONIZED over the answer to this question. I didn't want to turn anyone off and I didn't want to misrepresent myself. Should I be a Caramel Marvel – latte, sweet, brown and full of energy? A fine glass of Bordeaux – sophisticated, complicated and paired perfectly with a leg of lamb? I mean what kind of question is that, anyways? I went with a Jack and Coke cause I'm a little rough around the edges. Apparently this was acceptable because I was asked to fill out the second application.
After spilling all my personal details and committing to being a really active participant in The Group I was welcomed in and asked if I wanted a personal meeting with The Group Leader. Ummmmm, huh? Do I need a face-to-face interview on top of the 2 very personal questionnaires? I just wanna hang out with some other moms!! I skipped the face-to-face cause it seemed unnecessary and scrolled through the upcoming events. Jackpot! I spotted a 2 mile Babywearing Nature Hike. Exercise? Check. Baby bonding? Check. Fresh air? Check. Hanging with other moms? Check. The hike couldn't come fast enough.
I planned our hike-worthy yet still fashionable outfits the day before (thanks to Diana) and left early to make sure I wasn't late. When I got there (five minutes late) there were 5 other moms with babies strapped to their chests. I put Cedella in her Baby K'tan and joined the group. After some brief introductions we were off on our hike through a beautiful wooded nature preserve. Immediately everyone kind of buddied up. I was right in the middle with another mom with a little girl. Turns out her little girl is just 2 weeks older than Cedella and the two of us chatted the entire time while the girls babbled back and forth. We had so much in common it was ridiculous. Conversation was super easy and we didn't miss a beat. By the end of the hike I knew I had to get up my courage and try to make friends.
Now I don't mean to be creepy and sound like I'm trying to date this other mom. But isn't that what it's like? You're looking for that one person that shares your values, laughs at your jokes and understands what you're going through. Someone to hang out with and get together with. Someone to talk to that actually wants to hear what you have to say. New Friend is just that.
We met at the Mom Yoga group and I met The Group Leader. Let's just preface this with the fact that I knew it was a bit odd that several of the meetings take place at a church. But when I was asked if I was coming to the Bad Girls of the Bible event, I knew that maybe it was a bit too religious for me. That being said, all the women were really kind, totally welcoming and friendly. After the class was over New Friend and I made plans to get together for a walk with our girls the following week.
Our first walk was amazing. We walked further on the River Walk trail than I've ever made it on my own. We talked and talked and talked. The girls talked and talked and talked. We're both breast feeding and co-sleeping and she's even trying cloth diapers!! We're both from the burbs of Detroit, we're both away from our moms and sisters, we're both into reading (in fact we were both reading The Help at the same time!). She had me at "I usually know I'm going to like someone if they swear and drink". Yeah…that's how I pick friends too. It's just one of those friendships that was meant to be.
Apart from hanging out and walking with New Friend at least once a week, Cedella and I continue to go on the hikes once a week…though the Michigan winter seems to be rapidly approaching. But we keep joking about taking up snowshoeing. Somehow I think we'll actually talk each other into it. Regardless, our girls LOVE each other as much as any babies can love one another. They smile and laugh at each other and are constantly giving kisses and hugs. New Friend is just the thing I needed to remind myself of how awesome it is to be a SAHM.
While I thank Meetup.com for introducing me to New Friend, I am at a loss at a couple of other aspects. It seems like The Group is kind of cliquey. Not in a Mean Girls way, but in a hard to break through the circle kind of way. Everyone is nice and polite, but they all know each other SO well and here I am, the New Girl just trying to add my two cents into any given conversation (cause we all know I've always got an opinion). I'm going to try a few other outings and see if I can break through. If not, oh well, I've got New Friend and that's fabulous to me.


This is a part two of my 2018 favourites, here you can see the first one. In this one you will find some skincare, body care and hair care products.
Attraction Rush has been a perfume that I kept going back to. It's a bit oriental and sweet, I wore it all year round, especially towards the end of the year. I ever wore it in summer even thought it's not a very summery scent.
This is probably my favourite product for 2018. I have never tried anything from Kerastase, this is my first product and I already want more. I use it on my dry ends after I have straightened my hair and I can't even describe it how my hair feels after, it's so silky smooth and sleek. Also, it tames any flyaways and freezy hair without looking oily. This is only a small bottle and the big one costs a lot but I think I will have this one for a while.
An amazing toner. I use it when my skin feels and looks tired or red and it works wonders even in one day. It calms the skin and makes it brighter and better looking. I said before, I really like this one, but I want to try the toner from The Body Shop, I hear it's better.
I found out about this cream though Petra. Now I mostly use this one, always in the morning and sometimes in the evening. I have a review here. It has a light creamy-gel texture that sinks in quite quickly but it moisturizes my skin well. Even my friend who reads my blog bought it and said it was great.
I didn't think of any other shower gel that I enjoyed more last year. This one had a creamy consistency, it didn't dry out my skin nor did it nourish but the scent was amazing. Like citruses, basically, like summer in a bottle.
At the start of the year, I raved about Malinca's body peeling that smelled just like raspberries and I absolutely adored the scent, but texture wise, like how the peeling actually performs, Oriflame is a winner. It has a very creamy, almost thick consistency that exfoliates the skin very well but doesn't feel harsh. I actually feel that it does something. Also, it leaves an oily layer behind so you don't need to moisturize after. The scent is not my favourite, I like sweet and fruity scents, but this one is more fresh and spa-like, I could actually say it's a more grown-up type of scent. I reviewed the whole Swedish Spa line here.
Another discovery of the year was this L'Occitane hand cream. It has a creamy consistency that leaves a thin layer on the skin so it keeps nourishing the hands for some time. Plus, it has a nice scent. A whole review is here.
I feel I didn't talk enough about this butter after I made a review but I have been using it every day. I mostly use it when I go to sleep, I apply it to my dry skin and sometimes on my face when I have some dry areas. It also works great on the cuticles. I fully got used to the strong scent, I don't even notice it, I would even forget it had a scent if it weren't for my mother that commented about it.
Besides Malinca's peeling this is my favourite scent for last year. It's pretty basic but still so delicious, like simple vanilla cookies. I didn't know what a good body butter was until I tried TBS ones. They are so different from any other brand. They are thick but spread so easily when they touch the warm hands and skin. They seem to sink in quickly but my skin feels nourished for the whole day. I started to use this one sparingly and switch to some other ones, but this one is far better than any that I own currently.
I also had to put this in my favourites. I bought this in summer and I can't live without it anymore. This is a whole different feeling compared to shaving. My hair grows quickly, in summer I could shave my leg every day but with this, I can go a few days without. I don't understand how some can say this lasts a few weeks, my hair grows back after a few days, but I'm not complaining, it's still better than shaving every day. The feeling is different too and I did notice my hair is getting a lot thinner. In terms of pain, I can't say much, I have a high pain tolerance so it doesn't really bother me.
If you are interested, I bought it in Big Bang when it was on offer for around 50€, that's the best deal I could find but they had it on sale everywhere in the summertime. Also, it's cheaper if you get it without any attachments, you don't really need them.
Attraction Rush imam že kar na koncu. Je moj najljubši parfum od Avona. Res tak nosljiv vonj za praktično vse sezone, pa vseeno dovolj drugačen od drugih :). Imava kar podoben okus :D.
Tudi Avonova krema je moja stalnica. Ta in dnevna verzija. Jaz te kreme vsem priporočam.
Epilator ni zame. Jaz nimam visoke tolerance na bolečino hehe :D. Nikoli nisem bila za njih. Imam pa srečo, da imam tudi bolj slabe in svetle dlake.

Gold Resource Corporation (the "Company") today announced the purchase of 100% interest in the Isabella Pearl high-grade gold potential open pit heap leach project located in Nevada, U.S.A. from a private party (the "Vendor"). The project contains third party Proven and Probable Reserves of 191,400 gold ounces at an average grade of 2.18 grams gold per tonne (g/t) and is in advanced stages of engineering and production permitting. Gold Resource Corporation is a gold and silver producer with operations in Oaxaca, Mexico and exploration and now development properties in Nevada, USA. The Company has returned $108 million to shareholders in monthly dividends since commercial production commenced July 1, 2010, and offers shareholders the option to convert their cash dividends into physical gold and silver and take delivery.
Mining friendly jurisdiction, Nevada, U.S.A.
Gold Resource Corporation purchased 100% interest in the Isabella Pearl Project from the Vendor in exchange for 2,000,000 shares of Gold Resource Corporation's restricted common stock and US$100,000 cash. The land position totals 341 unpatented mining claims covering approximately 6,800 acres, of which 58 claims encompass the Isabella Pearl deposit and planned mine area. The 58 Isabella Pearl claims along with 25 additional claims have a 3% net smelter return royalty (NSR), with the balance of the claims having a 1% NSR.
The Isabella Pearl gold project is located in Mineral County, Nevada, 15 miles northwest of the Company's Gold Mesa property, and will be added to the Company's existing Nevada Mining Unit. Gold Resource Corporation's Nevada Mining Unit now controls approximately 12,205 acres of development and exploration land in south central Nevada's Walker Lane Mineral Belt.
The Isabella Pearl project contains third party Proven and Probable reserves estimated at 2,733,500 tonnes grading 2.18 grams per tonne, which equates to 191,400 gold ounces (report completed by Mine Development Associates, Reno, Nevada; see table below). Future production development anticipates two adjacent open pits with the Isabella pit averaging approximately 1 gram per tonne gold with mineral outcropping at the surface, and the Pearl pit averaging approximately 3.7 grams per tonne gold with a higher grade core averaging nearly 5 grams per tonne gold. The project estimates an average 5:1 strip ratio with metallurgical tests estimating gold recoveries for crushed oxide rock between 80 and 85 percent using conventional heap leaching. Small amounts of silver are expected in recoveries, which would be treated as by-product credits against gold production costs.
Proven & Probable Reserve Summary; Isabella Pearl Deposit, Nevada U.S.A.
(1) P&P Reserve estimates completed by Mine Development Associates; Updated Nov 11, 2013.
(2) Reserves based on a US$1,100/ounce gold price.
(3) The term "cutoff" means the lowest gold grade in grams per tonne (g/t) considered economic to process.
(4) Metallurgical recovery assumptions for gold used were 60% for run-of-mine (ROM) and 81% for crushed material.
(5) Figures in tables are rounded to reflect estimate precision and small differences generated by rounding are not material to estimates.
Gold Resource Corporation's management plans to aggressively move the Isabella Pearl deposit production permitting forward as rapidly as possible. After integrating and refining the Company's own parameters to the project, management targets near term production with estimated production ranges the first two years at 20,000 and 30,000 gold ounces year one ramping up to 30,000 to 40,000 gold ounces year two. Total initial mine life based solely on current reserves is three to four years, depending on production ramp up. Upside potential exists through additional adjacent exploration claims along a prospective mineralized trend secured in the transaction. The Company eyes first gold production at the earliest point in time.
Significant mine permitting has been completed by the Vendor, which includes an Environmental Assessment draft, a Pre-Feasibility study, a Plan of Operations and a Water Pollution Control Permit. Water rights have been secured with points of diversion located adjacent to historic producing water wells.
The Company's preliminary capital expenditures (CAPEX) to bring Isabella Pearl into production, based on modifications to existing mine plans and engineering, are estimated between US$25-30 million. Once the Company refines these initial estimates, it plans to use cash flow, equity and/or debt, or a combination of these to fund the relatively low CAPEX estimated to reach production at Isabella Pearl. The Company has no debt and has historically been averse to debt though in this case where cash flow can service the debt the Company can consider it for this project build. These are initial goals and targets based on what management believes, at this time, can be modified from existing third party engineering and design work at Isabella Pearl.
"I believe the Isabella Pearl acquisition cost of just 3.7% dilution to be exceptional for a high-grade gold open pit heap leach project with proven and probable reserves and in the advanced permitting stage located in a mining friendly jurisdiction," stated Gold Resource Corporation's CEO and President, Mr. Jason Reid. "It is our short to medium term goal and company vision to produce 30,000 to 40,000 gold ounces per year from our current Nevada Mining Unit, which could potentially more than double our Company's annual gold production profile. I see this project launching the Company's Nevada Mining Unit gold production from zero to sixty miles per hour with Isabella Pearl representing near term gold production and our Mina Gold and Gold Mesa properties high-grade gold open pit potential to follow for added longevity to our Nevada Mining Unit's project pipeline."
Management is working to schedule the Isabella Pearl mine to potentially utilize early cash flow generated from the project to help fund ongoing development while keeping initial project CAPEX expenditures to a minimum. The Company is also attempting to modify and refine the Isabella Pearl project to reach a target of paying back the initial capital needed to establish production within the first year from mine cash flow. This is a similar approach to the Company's successful 2008 mine development of its currently producing Aguila project in Mexico. Actual Company CAPEX and payback ranges may differ materially after further engineering and design work is completed.
Mr. Reid continued, "Once we have completed our engineering and have better defined CAPEX estimates, we hope to make an official Board of Director approved production decision to target Nevada gold production at the earliest possible point in time."
Company management believes the synergies between the Isabella Pearl, Mina Gold and Gold Mesa properties, which are all located approximately 20 miles apart or less by road, should allow sequentially for shared portable crushing equipment, portable plants, portable assay labs, rolling stock and manpower. This approach targets lower project capital expenditures and organically funded growth from cash flow for potential development of future projects.
"These are exciting times for Gold Resource Corporation shareholders with our new Nevada Mining Unit advancing towards production, our existing Oaxaca Mining Unit currently in production with its second mine at Alta Gracia potentially coming on line soon and with precious metal market prices in 2016 trending upwards. We not only survived the last four years of the precious metal bear market, but were profitable in each of those years. During that time, we positioned the Company to take advantage of opportunities the bear market provided by acquiring properties at very attractive acquisition costs and building a critical mass of accretive deals. Gold Resource Corporation's Nevada acquisitions are poised to launch the Company along a path of additional mine development, increased gold production and Company growth during what looks to be another bull market in precious metals," stated Mr. Reid.
