A South African guy named Alexander Hrabar drove his blue Subaru CA 162 699 on the highway in Cape Town at 250KM/H. He had a friend film it and he posted the video onto Youtube.
The video for the 250km/h drive:
He then drove past Cecilia forest (Constantia Nek) at what appears in the video to be 180km/h (voice in car says so) in what appears to be light traffic. The speed limit along this road is 60km/h.
Here is the video:
The above is proof of extreme reckless driving, especially on the road past Cecilia forest. These videos should be downloaded and analyzed to work out the speed.
My suggestion is to download these videos off the internet before doing anything as he may delete them if he knows it has been reported.
This type of driving can get someone killed. Someone should contact the traffic department before an accident happens.

Here is a video of that idiot crashing his Subaru: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-p48OwkNHx4 Imagine if he had crashed into those joggers on Rhodes Drive...
Looks like this idiot couldn't drive after all. He crashed his Subaru in a Kynsna race - complete write-off. What a loser and a douche-bag.
Did this idiot ever get locked up?

The Argus reporter: email@example.com
If I see this doosbag screeching past me like in the video I'll give chase and catch him and give him a nice vet klap! So watch out you coward! Or maybe a visit to asswolf studios?
Guess so. They should at least put it in the newspapers that you can even make a video of a crime and get away with it. What is the contact for that reporter from argus?
That's how things go in our lovely country.
If this oke gets away after video taping his crime then I am also going to try a few 200kmh videos and post em. Looks like it's not really a crime unless you caught in the act.
It looks like he got away, yes. I hope he learn his lesson.
Did they ever arrest this guy? If not, why not? Next time I get a fine I'll just say it wasn't me and there was no victim. I should get off like this hrabar dude. This dude probably still has his license as well. What a joke.
That asswf system looks like a toy. Imagine leaving the car in 1st by mistake as some drivers do and it starts up and rides over some child playing. I stick with my new car alarm built into the car with gps and tracking. Can't go wrong. With asswolf it seems to be toy for gangster wannabes. My friend has one and it's not 1km range. More like 10m. Haha anyway I heard shandor thinks we jealous of him. He reckons it's all a hoax against him and will get off easy and laugh at us. I think not asswolf. If you get off I will publicize this all over the country. Nobody will care about speeding fines after this. If you get off why should we all pay fines? Just because you a rich kid who thinks he's above the law. Not on my watch. Not on the watches of guys on here. You going to pay the penalty just like the rest of us. You going down asswolf.
Yes I am is that loser hrabar.
"Maybe his asswolf system malfunctioned, forced the car to full speed and he is not to blame. I've heard of guys with that system using the remote start and the car crashes into the garage wall." this system allows you to start the car yes, i have one in my car, but you have to leave the car in neutral otherwise it will be jumping into anything!! Actually this system works very nice for me, cooling down of the turbo and warming up the car before leaving the house. What Shandor did is completely wrong and must face whatever happens!
Maybe his asswolf system malfunctioned, forced the car to full speed and he is not to blame. I've heard of guys with that system using the remote start and the car crashes into the garage wall. He is like that dewani guy- still professing his innocence despite all the evidence. Arrogant and really dof.
Perhaps we should all become organ donors with this guy on the roads.
I just thought he could make a good donor.. when the time comes. Order your organs today.. it's like fast food.

It says he is 35 on his Youtube profile, so I assume thats his age. Siphiwe maybe you know his blood type and more intimate details hey?
What blood type is he, Morne ?
Koos: Shandor admitted it was him on Facebook and Youtube. So now its time to pay the piper.
Nothing gonna come of this,their are so many drag racers on our streets,drunk drivers etc.What happens to them Sweet NOTHING.
He is 35 - old enough not to drive like this.
Good one Morne! How old is this Shandor????
You see Shandor, if you get off this then I may as well line up some coke cans in the middle of town on top of dustbins and benches and go on the roof of a building and take pot-shots at them with my rifle during lunch-hour. I'm a pretty good shot so hopefully shouldn't hit anyone. Maybe I should video tape it and post it onto Youtube and admit it on Facebook. You understand the logic now?? Is it clear enough for you?
No. Arrive alive has already laid a charge. And I informed JP Smith, who is the Mayco member for safety. So I'm sure a charge has been laid. But the more the better.
So if nobody lays a charge he'll walk? Don't the police automatically lay a charge in this case?
Julie I don't think he is thinking clearly. Perhaps he is just waiting for the charges first, and hoping in vain that nothing will happen. Perhaps go to your local SAPS charge office to lay a complaint of reckless driving against him.
I cannot understand why he doesn't just admit his guilty. It will be much worse if they have to go through a whole court-case and find him guilty.
Shandor will be best advices to admit guilt when he's charged, if he wants any leniency during sentencing. There will be pressure on the judge to make an example of his idiotic behaviour, and if he tries to pretend if wasn't him, the consequences could be dire.
Definitely the same hands. That is pretty conclusive on its own, but I'm sure the state prosecutor and multimedia forensic team will ask Shandor to replicate the hand positioning from the same camera angle as in the video once the seize the car. They could even take the judge outside to see for himself that Shandor's hands on the steering wheel looks exactly the same as in the video. This guy's ass is grass.
I think this Shandor guy is just digging a deeper and deeper hole for himself. He should turn himself in at his nearest police station for being the dumbest criminal in history.
Check out the hand comparison: http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/8296/shandorhands.jpg Do you guys think its the same voice? I certainly do. The fact that he denies it, he's trying to make us out to be fools. So lets prove its him.
Look at the videos of him on that site and see if its the same voice. Definitely the same voice and hands.
Look at the video of him where he advertises the asswolf. Listen to his voice.
I see Shandow has told some people that it was a hoax. And elsewhere, he's been denying that he was the driver, despite all the evidence proving that it was in fact him behind the wheel. My wife commented that it might be a girl, but I informed her that he's just got a very feminine voice. Don't forget that you can contact Shandor, who gave himself the title of Director of Asswolf, on 082 929 7187. Their physical address is 46 Chichester Road, Kenilworth.
There are more videos uploaded. Download them using Keepvid.com.
hahaha what a tosser this Shandor is as he admits that he only went up to 200km. Look at the screenshots at the top of this page. Only went up to 200 hey? What were you planning? 300 on Rhodes drive? China you need to get off the roads.
The man tiger put copies up on YT: http://www.youtube.com/user/mantiger1000
The videos are still there. Search for "bit of fun on the road - the copies". You can see Shandor next to his car. If these get deleted, then they will upload them again and again until the end of time.
Anyone have a copy if the video's? They have been removed from YouTube!
When this reportacrime article came on, the Susie videos were still up. He deleted them soon after. We have them, we sad them on shandors YouTube. Everything is downloaded. I think it's the fact that he is trying to worm his way out of this is what annoys people. Besides arrogant, dumb and selfish, he is also a coward.
Everyone in amateur racing circles knows shandor drives that asswolf. He must have acquired a few enemies with his arrogance. Plenty of photos of him in that same car. I wonder what his friends will say if he now blames them. Shandors hand are clearly on the wheel and I also downloaded the videos and the resolution is good. Doesn't take a genius to see the obvious. If he gets off this, people sill simply stop paying their fines. Shandor said in the YouTube comments that they only went 200kmh in the video. What a tool. He admits it and brags about it. He is so bust and its a case on a plate. I for one just want him off the roads. Let him walk for a couple of years or be a passenger. Don't need this attitude on our roads.
Yes it's been proven. But we won't go into details here. It's conclusive and absolute.
The same man in all videos??? What proof is there??? Can you prove its the Asian wolf Subaru that is doing the speed,Did you know that the Evil Bastard Subaru looks similar.Videos showing the registration no of the car is on the dyno.Can you rove that Shandor is driving ??? What Shandor allegedly did was wrong and iresponsible,stupid and plain dumb.
The evidence is overwhelming! It's the same man in all the videos. A fast coffin looking for a victim. You can shoot the gun on a range but not in public. Same with racing. Your fine will be large!! You will commits of walking and get fit!!
Shandor: the analogy is done from the perspective of safety in mind. It is not an analogy about your fun. Are you so self centered that you think this analogy is about your fun? It's not. It's about the safety of others. You broke the law and now must face the consequences. You can speak to the authorities and tell them that it's okay to go triple the speedlimit. You are shandor, the guy who is above the law! They are going to take away your license and a fat fine. Maybe a bit of jail. Everyone who gets a fine will say see what happened here. "but officer, it wasn't me on the camera", and "I'm a good driver and am allowed to go 350kmh on the highway". You see what I mean? Your arrogance and foolish depraved behavior didn't pay off hey? You going down asswolf!
Shandor: this is you right? Just for the record. You must be the most illogical fool on this earth! You should locked up for stupidity or put in a mental home with your flawed logic. Looking at some of your Facebook pics, maybe you like pollsmoor? In shandorland they will abolish all speedlimits, you can break and enter, drink and drive, play dodge-the-pedestrian and no jail time. I'm curious why did you do it and then post the evidence? Do you have a boyfriend in jail? But then again, if your logic here is anything to go by, I expect nothing less from you. Just come clean now and admit that you were a doos. Oh sorry to answer your question it was meant to be a "true fool". You need help china.
Marc.... what is "A try fool"...???
Don't argue with this shandor idiot. He drives to kill and posts on YouTube his crime. A try fool.
Hennie shooting in a shooting range is like racing on a race track.... hmmmmmmmm so then Hennie what is shooting alone in a bush comparable to..??
Shooting alone in a bush is similar to racing on the track. Racing on a road filled with cars and joggers is like shooting randomaly in a shopping mall. Period.
@I am Shandor: I am not going to respond to you any more. Your arguments are illogical and chilish.
Ummmmmm Hennie I quoted Bruce wrt "...If I shoot at SOMEONE..." Hennie you tosser please point out where I indicated that exceeding the speed limit is NOT a crime intent or not...???
Marc you are as dumb as Bruce..."there are victims all the time"... but not THIS time... Using your really silly analogy - if you were shooting like that alone in a bush with nobody for miles is vastly different to opening up in a mall.... I hope you understand the point...?? if not I'll draw a picture...
Koos there were videos. Shandor posted them himself in a flash of dumbness. About 400 people saw them and some downloaded them before he deleted them off Youtube.
@Yes I am Shandor: You're obviously not a leading legal light. Or clever. If your intent is to speed, it is a crime. You analogy is flawed. I didn't say shoot AT anyone. I said shooting at random, without aiming. But you're so blindly defending yourself that you're unable to see the point.
Shandor there you go again as "Yes I am". Intent is the same as stupidity. By your logic I could then go out and shoot my revolver all over the place just for some fun. I'll shoot randomly out my car window just for a bit of fun. I don't intend to shoot anyone. Just a bit of fun with my revolver. I guess nobody will pay their fines now, as there was no victim! The point is douche-bag, there are victims all the time. Go spend a night with the paramedics and you'll see plenty of victims of your type.
If no video was shown and it was only typed on facebook would you guys rant and rave like this.I too drive over 200km/h sometimes so,there rant if you want.
...."If I shoot at someone and I miss - nobody has been hurt right?".... ummmmmm intent....!!!! dumbass....
who was the victim of this crime...???
I also got all the Facebook pics if yo need em.
@yes i am: you have a lot of bad karma man. what goes round comes round.
I think this Shandor guy also needs to go for professional help as he obviously has many issues that he needs to deal with.
Shandor - the main issue is that you took the lives of others into your hands for your little joyride. Similar to how people don't like to stand in a shooting range near the targets. You BROKE the law now deal with the law. Driving like that doesn't make you a man, it makes you a selfish boy. You need to learn some humility and respect for other people in order to be a man.
@Yes I am Shandor: Dude, the fact that nobody was hurt does not matter. Reckless driving is a serious crime. Although I must admit the worst crime here was one of complete stupidity - I can't think how big an idiot you have to be to brag about such dangerously reckless riving on the internet. You might not think it was a serious offence, but the DA, traffic authorities, and thousands of innocent citizens do. You can wriggle all you want, but I can assure you this is seen in a VERY SERIOUS LIGHT. Your license must get revoked, and your car impounded so it can be crushed.
Shandor, why not admit you're at fault?
Shandor: Okay nobody was hurt in this case - true. If I shoot at someone and I miss - nobody has been hurt right? I can steal something from a house and if they don't notice its gone - then no big deal right? I can commit fraud or shoplift but if nobody notices or is hurt by it - no problem right? Driving at such a speed and in such a reckless manner puts your life and the lives of others at risk. If you wish to take your car to a race-track and put your life at risk, then so be it. But don't drive like that in public places where it increases the chance of an accident. Its that simple. There are people that value their lives and do not wish to have cars drive past them at 180kmh head-on. Yes there is a lot of crime out there, but we need to obey all the laws and go after all the criminals. Going triple the speed-limit clearly sends a message that you have no regard for the law. Then to post it onto Youtube sends another message.
...."main issue here is that you went on a joyride"..... all this because he went on a joyride..??? like I said your type will never change...
Shandor you should be a man and admit what you have done. Otherwise its going to cost the country even more money and time to prosecute you, money that could be used to find other criminals. You clearly drove at double and triple the speed-limits. If you get off, the public will be angry - why should they pay their R150 fine for going 72km/h in a 60km/h zone? Why should they pay anything as this Shandor guy got off going 250km/h!! The main issue here is that you went on a joyride, you took the lives of others into your hands by driving like an idiot and you could have killed or maimed someone. You have probably done this many times before and your arrogance got more and more each time you did it, until you were bust!! Now time to face the music pal. This wont go away - there are many intelligent people working on this
Hennie, who was morally justifying speeding...?? Gee your type will never change...
sigh Hennie how on earth is that remotely similar...??
Bruce I agree to some degree.... yes people have been hurt in car accidents... but NOT in this case.... so speeding was the only crime commited in this case yet its getting all this airtime.... How does this make sense...??? Its concerning that your type makes all this noise over something so insignificant to the majority.. If your type would invest as much energy into the real issues can you imagine the difference you could make...??
@Yes I am Shandor: the fact that nobody was killed is irrelevant. Your behaviour was extremely depraved and illegal. The DA and prosecuting authorities agree. If I fire my .45 wildly in a shopping mall, but don't injure/kill/hurt anyone, is it okay in your book? No. I didn't think so. It is ludicrous and disgusting that you are trying to morally justify speeding so recklessly. I wish you wrap yourself and that asswolf sabara around a tree before you kill someone, and can't assure you that your opinion is very much contrary to that of the general public.
Was anybody killed - No anybody injured/hurt - No anybody raped - No anybody suffered a loss - No anybody a victim of a crime - No SO WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU GUYS GOING OFF ABOUT...??? I will be seriously angry if my tax money was spent on this case.... Please spend my tax money on: 1. Catching the people that shot my dad in an attemped hijacking 2. Catching the guys that stole my ALFA 3. Catching the guys that hijacked my close friends in the driveway (stole 2 cars) 4. Catch the guys that shot my friend at Mzoli's 5. Catch the guys that raped & burnt a friend of a friend 6. Catch the guys that stole the copper pipes from my sisters house while they were building 7. Catch the guys that stole the plumbing out of my brothers house just before he could sell it etc etc etc etc etc I guess you guys in your plush suburbs are not affected by real crime hey..
On his Facebook page you can see he is quite drunk in lots of the photos. In the one he even said he can't remember where he was for being so pissed. I've downloaded them all as well as the comments. Maybe he was drunk as well when he drove and now cannot remember it. Maybe he was drunk when he posted it as well.
The perpetrator was Shandor Hrabar. You can even hear his voice in the car. You can see his hands. He uploaded the videos to Youtube and Facebook. The videos were on his Youtube channel and then he deleted them when he was caught out. What a coward to go and deny everything. You have been bust asswolf. There is an interview where he speaks about the asswolf alarms that they import from overseas. You can clearly hear its the exact same voice. The voice is a quite distinctive in a camp nasal type way.
I notice from elsewhere that Shandor is denying being the driver, and that asswolf is investigating who the perpetrator was. Strange then that he posted about it on his facebook page. Surely it shouldn't require much investigating.
Good one Bo. A wannabe alter-ego.
Sorry to disappoint you guys.. Shandor wishes he was Colin !
Shandor is posting again on another forum: http://www.thehubsa.co.za/forum/topic/96856-idiot-drove-at-180kmh-on-rhodes-drive-and-posted-it-onto-youtube/page__st__80__gopid__1311480#entry1311480
You can contact Hrabar at this address: sourced.co.za
If he gets off, then I'll spend money to advertise this all over SA. It would mean that the a guy like Shandor has more power than the police.
He denied it. He will get off and laugh at you all.
I showed these video clips to my wife and she was appalled. Reading about Shandor trying to pretend he's Colon above, I don't have any sympathy. The time to post apologies have passed.
Its like having a maniac running around shooting at people. Instead of bullets its a Subaru. The guy also drives a Honda so they should check that out too.
If he gets off then we'll see lots of copycats all trying to beat his time, knowing that they can just deny it and get off scott-free.
"On behalf of Helen Zille and the Democratic Alliance (DA) I thank you for the email that you have sent. I will alert JP Smith, Mayco Member for Community Safety about this act of extreme depravity.Thank you for alerting the DA to this matter"
I suggest that this website trace the IP address of the guy COLIN above. He is deinitely Shandor. He admits that he would ride over someone if they got in his way.
I have heard from a reliable source that his arrest is imminent.
He denied he was driving the car. I guess the next news story will be when he crashes into someone trying to better his 250kmh record.
I have written to my local DA councillor and the office of Helen Zille. Shandor should not be allowed to drive on our roads, and belong behind bars.
If Shandor keeps his license, then he will have a license to kill and maim. But as long as he has his fun. He couldn't care less about other road users. They just collateral damage. They must get out his way as he owns the road.
The videos clearly show that the guy is a wannabe hasbeen who never was. He can't tune a car, has others do it for him and it still sounds off. Then all he can do is put foot, anyone can do that. Very poor cornering skills. He sucks up to the scheckters like a parasite, bringing them down. Stealing their energy. Just a rich idiot will never be real. He thinks he's better than any other driver out there and can beat any racer. Always bragging how he drives better than anyone on the track. He thinks the police and public are morons and with his speed trap detector and badly tuned asswolf Subaru, even boasted about it on Facebook and YouTube. If he gets off and ends up killing someone, maybe your family he'll just say it wasn't him and get off laughing over the grave of your family member and go driving badly to his next party. Maybe killing another on the way. They must lock up this wannabe or take his license away fir good.
If he had hit one of your family at 250kmh I would not wish to see the accident scene -I'd probably throw up. People get chopped in half at those speeds, brains all over the place. He could have killed someone or made them into a quadriplegic for life. He even bragged about doing the 180kmh stint with old worn tires. Its a bit of fun and games on the road hey mr asswolf? He thinks he's above the law -a true sociopath. Maybe he's trying to get advertising for that cheap imported asswolf stuff. Probably had more phone calls today than he's had in the last year. He will have plenty bits of fun in Pollsmoor running at 5kmh from the 28's. People like this irritate me with their arrogance and denying everything. If he had killed someone he would also probably deny it. Oh ya, he's special.
You can try to contact him on 0829297187. But Shandor seems to have crawled into his shell.
Yes. You don't really need special forces or CSI units. The comments on his 250km/h hero run is enough. He admitted on both Facebook and Youtube that he 'only' went to 250km/h. This was at 6000rpm, and he can rev it to 9000rpm, so there's much more to come. Not in my town, you don't, asswolf. I will do everything I can to get this tosser off the road. I use both stretches of road he frequents very often, as does many of my loved ones. Shandor Harbar - you've made my sh!tlist...
Its been done overseas and the guy was jailed: http://www.automonster.ca/?p=1345
Facebook data, photos and videos related to this crime are all on CD in a safe place. The asswolf doesn't care if he slaughters one of your family while playing on the road. He couldn't care less if someone ends up paralyzed for life. As long as he's having his bit of fun on the public roads. The faster tiger caught the slow asswolf wannabe.

Persephone book no:
Lettice Cooper
* Required Fields
Bedroom at Bar House by Mary Elwell
PREFACE BY JILLY COOPER336ppISBN 9781903155370
'All that outwardly happens in The New House,' writes Jilly Cooper in her Persephone Preface, 'is over one long day a family moves from a large imposing secluded house with beautiful gardens to a small one overlooking a housing estate. But all the characters and their relationships with each other are so lovingly portrayed that one cares passionately what happens even to the unpleasant ones. The New House, first published in 1936, reminds me of my favourite author Chekhov, who so influenced Lettice's generation of writers. Like him, she had perfect social pitch and could draw an arriviste developer as convincingly as a steely Southern social butterfly.'
'It is tempting to describe Rhoda Powell, the 30-plus, stay-at-home daughter of a widowed mother, as Brookner-esque,' wrote the reviewer in the Guardian, 'even though Lettice Cooper wrote this wonderfully understated novel several decades before Anita Brookner mapped the defining features of quietly unhappy middle-class women.' Kate Chisholm in the Spectator described Lettice Cooper as 'an intensely domestic novelist, unraveling in minute detail the tight web of family relations' but one who is also 'acutely aware of what goes on beyond the garden gate. The exposé of a family under strain because of changing times is curiously more vivid and real than in many novels about family life written today.'
To read more about The New House go to the Persephone Forum.
The endpaper fabric for The New House is taken from 'Rope and Dandelion', a blockprinted velvet designed and printed by Margaret Calkin James for her new house, 'Hornbeams' in Hampstead Garden Suburb, in 1936.

Types of Stress
People experience stress in various ways. Personal conflicts, professional demands, financial problems or trauma can cause stress and may affect people differently. Stress can be broadly divided into four categories which include the following:
1. Eustress: This is the 'good stress'! The excitement you get after watching a horror movie, the pride in becoming a first time parent, the thrill of going on a camping vacation, the good feeling after accomplishing your targets and the feeling or victory after winning a difficult race are signs and symptoms of 'eustress' or positive stress. This type of stress makes us feel good and feel satisfied. It exerts a healthy effect on us and allows us look at life in positive way. The only disadvantage of this type of stress is that it is usually short-lived.
2. Distress: Every coin has two sides and the alternative to eustress is distress. This is the negative stress or rather a stress disorder caused by undesirable events or stressors that cause a person's body to react negatively. Distress often impedes a person's ability to cope with adverse demands. It is caused by events such as the loss of a loved one, financial pressures, demanding schedule, heavy workload or strained interpersonal relationship. This type of stress can be further divided into acute or short-lived distress and chronic or prolonged distress
3. Hyperstress: This type of stress evolves when a person is pushed beyond a set limit of expectations that they can meet. In common parlance, we call the condition being 'stressed out'. Being overloaded with work can cause hyperstress. During a state, even a minute can trigger a strong emotional response. Mothers who have to find a balance between their personal and professional lives as well as individuals who work under persistent financial constraints are the most common to suffer from hyperstress.
4. Hypostress: Hypostress can be attributed to individuals who are constantly bored; people who do not have any challenges, demands or motivation can be victims of hypostress. No matter what type of stress you might be suffering from, it is important that you identify and work at minimizing those stressors in order to stay healthy, feel good and work efficiently.

If you don't find what you're looking for here, feel free to drop us an email or call us during regular business hours (Monday – Saturday, 10 am – 9 pm Eastern; Sunday, 1 pm to 6 pm) at 423-855-5200.
Turnaround Time
We try to get everything turned around, processed and shipped out as quickly as possible, but we do have a small staff. Currently we try to get everything out the door no later than 2 business days after we receive the order. Business days are defined as Monday through Friday, not including federal holiday when the Postal Service does not run. For purposes of online sales, business days end at 5:00 Eastern time, so if we receive an order near or after that time, it very likely will not be processed for shipping until the next business day and picked up by the Postal Service until the day after that.
Credit Card Fraud Protection
We have been occasionally asked to ship something to a different address than the billing address of the credit card holder. Some of those times have proven to be fraudulent attempts to use someone else's credit card. We have found that it is just easier to make a standard policy that we WILL NOT SHIP to any address other than the billing address of the credit card holder. We understand that this can cause additional hassles for some people, but we feel it's more important to protect people against fraudulent purchases as much as possible.
Your Age
In the State of Tennessee, you must be 18 years of age to purchase any tobacco products. Other jurisdictions have different age requirements. By purchasing products on this site, you are guaranteeing that you are of legal age to purchase tobacco in the jurisdiction in which you live.
We will ship products anywhere in the United States using U.S. Postal Service Priority Mail, which we have found to have the best balance of speed, reliability and cost.
We charge a $10 flat shipping fee for all purchases under $100. Spend more than $100 and we waive the standard shipping fee.
We are not currently offering international shipping (i.e. shipping to Canada). We have not found a cost-effective and speedy way to make this happen at this time.
Payment Methods
We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express in our online store.
We do not process your payment until we have physically verified that your desired products are available and ready for shipment. If for some reason, we have sold out of a product that you have attempted to purchase online, we will contact you as soon as possible to change the order.
We do not, as a general rule, purchase extra insurance on packages we are shipping. Packages are automatically insured by the post office up to a certain amount, but the cost of extra insurance would require us to charge more for each package we ship. If you would like to request insurance be added to your shipment, please let us know in the notes section of the order, or via email. We will find out what the extra amount will be and add it to your order.
We pack each order carefully to avoid damage, but if something is damaged enroute, please take photos and email them to us so we can take the appropriate steps to make it right.
Refunds and Exchanges
Cigars are a perishable product. We will take every reasonable step to make sure they arrive to you quickly and in great shape. Once the cigars have left our hands, though, we cannot control all the variables that ensure their great condition. Therefore, we cannot accept return of cigars for refunds or exchanges. Unless the shipper has damaged the shipment, all sales are final.

El Toro Loco® is one raging bull who can the smell fear of its competitors. In 2001, the custom built bull was introduced to a crowd in Lafayette, Louisiana and a few years later, shared the Freestyle Championship title at the 2004 Monster Jam World Finals®. The El Toro Loco team expanded in 2012 to a four-truck team, adding additional drivers to tame this five-ton beast including Becky McDonough, Chuck Werner, and Marc McDonald. One of the most recognizable Monster Jam trucks in the sport, the crazy bull can be counted on to give its all in the ring. In 2013, El Toro Loco debuted two new looks. A yellow and black El Toro Loco Monster Jam truck joined the ever popular existing orange truck. These two new El Toro Loco Monster Jam trucks will still be a fan favorite and will continue to have the same "raging style" that makes the crazy bull a fan favorite.

Fairness is the doctrine of the reasonable. It attracts no controversy. To call for liberty, equality or fraternity is a rallying call to arms. To call for fairness is to call for the unexceptional – almost the ordinary.
But fairness properly understood and unpacked has always had more potential for radicalism, for both left and right. Last week we saw just how much. In the name of fairness David Cameron and George Osborne launched a fundamental reshaping of the welfare state. Higher-rate tax payers were to lose what had been a universal entitlement – child benefit – as their fair contribution to making it more worthwhile for the unemployed to move from benefit into work. Even more charged was the proposed cap of £26,000 – equal to the average household's income – on the welfare benefit that any household can receive, because it is unfair for tax-paying working families that benefit recipients should receive more.
At a stroke the prime minister and chancellor created a new class of undeserving poor – large families on benefit. One of the canons of the welfare system, that all disadvantaged people should be equally deserving, was breached. When culture secretary Jeremy Hunt argued on Newsnight that it was only fair that welfare parents should control their family size to stay within the new cap, there were authoritarian echoes that the undeserving lower orders should breed less.
The Tax Payers' Alliance, right-of-centre thinktanks and the conservative media have weighed in aggressively on his side. People in work have to think hard about the cost of having more children, they argued. It was unfair that people on benefit should be excused the same responsibility. Fairness demanded such radicalism.
Majority opinion is uneasy. Nobody wants to see the end of a key universal benefit, or a return to Victorian thinking about the undeserving poor with the attendant logic of the workhouse and even enforced birth control.
A Tory minister anonymously comparing the impending exodus of welfare beneficiaries from their expensive homes paid for by housing benefit as analogous to the Highland clearances was hardly reassuring. The language is vicious; the tone poisonous. Yet maybe the Conservatives have a point about fairness. The welfare state was not set up to support vast families or single mothers in inter-generational welfare dependency. It was set up to keep need and hunger at bay for the unlucky disadvantaged on universal principles while offering the means for self-improvement. The coalition has stumbled on political gold; using fairness to create new categories of the deserving and undeserving. Even William Beveridge, the architect of the welfare state, was mindful of the risk of a system that people might cheat. Legitimacy, he knew, required that the principles and practice of his system respected a basic human instinct; that you should be rewarded in some degree to your contribution – hence his conception of national insurance.
Today's behavioural psychologists confirm that human beings have a fairness hard wiring. We intuitively understand that outcomes relate to what we intend; and good outcomes should be proportionally rewarded – and poor outcomes proportionally penalised. We should not escape the consequences of our actions – whether a banker or parents of large families living on benefit.
But the right should not be jubilant. The logic of due desert also applies to the rich, as Cameron and Osborne are forced to acknowledge – hence their case for taking child benefit off higher-rate tax payers, taxing banks and accepting the Lib Dem desire to declare war on tax avoidance and evasion. If there are undeserving welfare parents, there are the undeserving rich. There are investment bankers with their wildly disproportionate bonuses for the economic contribution they make. There is Philip Green, who paid his wife a £1.2bn dividend to a tax haven to avoid his tax obligations; legal, but hardly deserving. The contrast with the deserving rich – entrepreneurs such as James Dyson or the inventor and founder of Brompton Bicycles, Andrew Ritchie, who have generated genuine wealth and jobs – could hardly be more marked. Britain has too few deserving rich; too many rich who rig markets, evade tax and play the system more than any welfare recipient.
Neither is fairness solely about due desert; it is also about the distribution of luck. There is the good luck of birth and the bad luck of circumstance. Fair societies compensate for both, a truth which today's vicious discourse of the poor making lifestyle choices not to work or to breed too freely wholly ignores.
There may be thousands of families who receive more than £26,000 in benefit; very few of them have set out to cheat the system. The vast majority have had the bad luck to be born in a depressed region or segregated housing estates, and then suffer layer upon layer of disadvantage. They need help. Fair societies provide it, even while they acknowledge the role of desert. Neither do they change the rules summarily and retrospectively so that existing families suddenly suffer savage cuts in their income. Better for changes to apply to new welfare beneficiaries who can plan for the new rules.
All this has huge implications for the tax and benefit system. National insurance was never meant to be indistinguishable from tax; it was meant to be a system of insurance in which all paid in to guard against life's major risks – unemployment, disability and old age – but then allowed to ossify. The German system makes no such mistake. It relates differential contributions to differential payments; for example you can buy more pension if you choose, while a minimum is guaranteed. Britain needs as many benefits as possible to be seen to have been paid for by those who receive them. Benefit thus becomes our due desert – not a lifestyle choice.
By the same token, property and inheritance are disgracefully lightly taxed. Those who inherit wealth have done nothing but been lucky to have sprung from wealthy loins; for this reason every civilisation has imposed a levy on the transfer of assets from the very wealthy to their children. The proceeds need to be vastly increased. Equally, the British are sitting on more than two trillion pounds of equity in their homes created by four decades of house price inflation; no property owner earned this wealth. A mansion tax – a levy on rich homes – is thus eminently justifiable, as is a tax on unearned increases in land value. The proceeds should be gathered in a fund to be invested, say, in big society projects or a more ambitious version of the child trust fund.
The British deserve a fair society. It will not be created in an atmosphere of a vendetta against the poor, but in a spirit of enlightened generosity. We are far from that this autumn. Will Hutton's Them and Us is published by Little, Brown

So how does today equal a kick in the jewels?
Well, it began as I expected. Husband got up a half hour before me, not so he could prepare himself for the day, but to play fucking Fallout. So when I finally ambled downstairs in a grumpy ball of grump, he was sitting there, pretending like he didn't have boots to polish or brass to shine and a tie to find. Thus, I got into the shower, already tense, knowing we were going to be late.
I should be used to being late, right? Because my husband dawdles. He's a DAWDLER. For a man who has to be on time or get into trouble, he sure as shit doesn't seem to have any sense of urgency when we're going to be late for something. I personally would rather be on fire than be late for something, but he doesn't seem to have that freaking problem. Oh no, not my dawdler.
Anyway, we get into the car, me in a suede skirt and kimono top, him looking dashing in his uniform, and all of a sudden he changes his mind over what ceremony we're going to. Now anyone who knows me knows how OCD I am, and how changing plans at the very last minute drives me nuts. So this is pretty much how the conversation went:
Husband: Let's go to the ceremony at Kingsway.
Me: No.
Husband: But that other ceremony in St. Albert isn't really a parade or anything.
Me: You made your choice, we're going to fucking St. Albert.
Husband: But that's not a ceremony!
Me: (this is the point where my head explodes into a mess on the windshield) And if we go to Kingsway we'll be fucking late and miss everything and have to walk three fucking blocks to get to this fucking ceremony that is outside. OUTSIDE. IN CANADA. IN NOVEMBER.
And yet, we fucking went to Kingsway. We then got lost, asked some guy who didn't speak English where to go, got lost again, and finally got there just as the parade ended. Mike wanted to hold my hand. I staunchly refused, standing in the parking lot about half a mile away from any of the parade stuff.
And guess what.
We were late.
We missed everything.
We had to walk three fucking blocks.
Anyway, after all that, we went to Smitty's and got some breakfast and I decided when we got home it was time to bury the hatchet, and not in Husband's skull. So we went upstairs to have "Super fun grown up time" together, and just as we lied down on the bed, apparently I kneed him right in the junk.
Of all the times I have wanted to knee him in the junk, and yet I never got the chance, and I would do it when we were trying to get along. I tried really really hard not to laugh too. Like, really hard. Like I smothered it beneath the choking noises he was making as he rolled over in agony.
I guess we're all going to associate Remembrance Day with a kick in the family jewels now.
This was funnier in my head.

Investors are going stock crazy, and they actually put a huge amount of money to work right before the big Fed decision.
Global equity funds attracted the largest inflows since at least 2005 in the week ended Sept. 18 as investors piled into stocks before the Federal Reserve's decision to maintain monetary stimulus.
The funds lured a net $25.9 billion in the period, Wei Liang Chang, a foreign-exchange strategist at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. (ANZ), said by phone from Singapore today, citing data from EPFR Global.
The flows were quite lopsided. Virtually all of the money went to developed market funds.
That being said, with the Fed decision, keeping the ultra-easy money going, it's plausible that the money will start flowing back out to emerging markets again.

Mail-Well Earns Quality Certification by Ross Products
Thursday, March 25, 2004
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., March 24, 2004 — Mail-Well Inc., one of North America's leading suppliers of visual communications, has enhanced its standing as a highly qualified vendor to the pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry by earning a rare quality certification and by taking part in one of the industry's most important trade events. The IPC Mail-Well plant in Toledo, OH, has been designated an "RPD Certified Supplier" to the Ross Products Division of Abbott Laboratories, Columbus, OH, a global supplier of pediatric and adult nutritional products. IPC Mail-Well was the sole recipient of the certification last year and remains the only vendor whose materials Ross will accept and release into production without conducting industry standard testing procedures. The trade event was Interphex, a major exposition of technologies for pharmaceutical and biotechnology professionals that took place at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City from March 16-18. Interphex included PharmaDiscovery, a multi-track scientific conference. Mail-Well met this elite audience with an exhibit highlighting the capabilities that enabled it to capture $50 million worth of business last year from pharmaceutical companies and related firms. Gordon Griffiths, President of Mail-Well's Commercial segment, said that the certification and the high-profile presence at Interphex showcase Mail-Well's ability to meet the strictest quality requirements of the most demanding industries. IPC Mail-Well, a unit of the Commercial segment, earned the certification following an on-site inspection by Ross and an internal quality assurance audit of its own. The investigations showed that the plant, which prints labels for Ensure, Similac, and other well-known dietary supplements from Ross, consistently achieves a "Non Conforming Material Report" (NCMR) rate of less than one percent of all jobs received in one year – a performance that IPC Mail-Well has repeated every year since 1999. As a result, labels supplied by IPC Mail-Well can enter Ross's packaging workflow without being subjected to the acceptance inspections that packaging materials from other suppliers have to undergo. Rick Delaney, senior account manager at IPC Mail-Well, says that the certification lets Ross treat the plant "virtually like their own manufacturing facility in their operation." In notifying IPC Mail-Well of the certification, Thomas Lang, a senior project leader for Ross, congratulated the plant on conforming to the manufacturer's rigorous standards of quality. "Our customers have come to expect the best when they purchase our products, so we do not take certification lightly," Lang said. "This partnership demonstrates our confidence in your ability to provide a quality product consistently and on time." As a label supplier for Ross's international markets, IPC Mail-Well prints about 500 different kinds and sizes of paper labels for packaged products that Ross distributes in 130 countries around the world. According to Delaney, Ross's NCMR inspection procedures zero in on factors such as specification content, variations or errors in color, high-speed UPC readability, and potential problems with adhesion or run-ability in the packaging production line. Adding to the challenge of meeting the benchmarks of a customer like Ross is the company's extraordinary emphasis on cleanliness and sanitation – a mandate, Delaney says, that causes it to operate in an environment that resembles "almost clean-room facilities" and even extends to the condition of the pallets in which packaging materials are shipped to Ross's manufacturing centers. The extreme degree of cooperation is one outcome of IPC Mail-Well's long relationship with Ross, which has been purchasing labels from the plant for 10 years and conducts regular quality audits of its facilities. A three-week self-audit process aimed at making sure that all of Ross's check points would be met preceded the inspection that led to the certification, Delaney says. The result was satisfaction from the start of the eight-hour examination to the finish. "They knew that our procedures were so intact that they wouldn't have to go through the facility writing corrective procedures, because our processes are so tight," Delaney says. Not just Ross, but all of IPC Mail-Well's customers benefit from the zero-defects attitude prevailing in the plant, which has held ISO 9001 certification for compliance with quality manufacturing standards for the last five years. According to Delaney, the work leading to the unique certification from Ross is valuable because "it has enabled us to parlay those disciplines into our day-to-day operations with our other customers." For example, the plant has been able to adapt a numeric color-coding strategy developed for Ross labels to the production and distribution management of non-related manufacturing. IPC Mail-Well will continue to apply what it has learned to improve the customer experience for everyone with whom it does business. "We have accomplished something of merit here that should be cascading from top to bottom for all of our customers," Delaney says. Mail-Well's merits were on full display in booth #378 in the Packaging Pavilion at the Interphex trade show, at which a record number of exhibitors greeted attendees from over 40 countries and from 40 of the 50 states. "We had quite a presence," says Skip Bray, Vice President-Sales and Marketing of Mail-Well's French-Bray unit in Glen Burnie, MD, which specializes in patient-information inserts and related materials. "We highlighted our experience as a provider of total solutions to the pharmaceutical industry, particularly our ability to assure these customers of obtaining all that they need from one source." Coordinating the exhibit for Mail-Well was Murry Unell, Marketing Communications Manager of the Commercial segment. He says that visitors to the Mail-Well booth learned how Mail-Well can deliver a "huge variety" of printed products – "everything from a tiny label on a tube of salve to a gorgeous annual report." Mail-Well's first-time participation in Interphex was a part of a campaign to promote the full spectrum of its capabilities to pharmaceutical customers. Bray says that the company is assembling a team of experts in sales and manufacturing from across the Commercial segment to develop strategies for further penetration of this high-priority market.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. - Police are investigating anti-Semitic graffiti that was spray painted onto a Mount Kisco nursery school that sits adjacent to a popular playground.
Staff at the Bet Torah synagogue on Smith Avenue in Mount Kisco reported to Westchester County Police on Sunday that they had found two swastikas spray-painted on the wall of the nursery school.
Police said that the swastikas were approximately two-feet by two-feet in diameter and were spray painted adjacent to the playground that sits on the synagogue's property. The area is accessible to the public both on foot and by vehicle.
According to police, the crime appears to have taken place late on Saturday night or overnight on Sunday morning. Detectives from the General Investigations Unit canvassed the neighborhood for several days, but have not found any witnesses or suspects.
The Westchester Human Rights Commission has since reached out to Bet Torah to express its concern about the incident and is offering assistance to those who desire it.
The case is currently under investigation and is being treated as a bias crime by Westchester County Police. Anyone with information on the anti-Semitic graffiti can contact police by calling the department's tip line at 1-800-898-8477 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

For the past two months, Kitty Doe's life has been a lie. Forced to impersonate the Prime Minister's niece, her frustration grows as her trust in her fake fiancé cracks, her real boyfriend is forbidden and the Blackcoats keep her in the dark more than ever. But in the midst of discovering that her role in the Hart family may not be as coincidental as she thought, she's accused of treason and is forced to face her greatest fear: Elsewhere. A prison where no one can escape. As one shocking revelation leads to the next, Kitty learns the hard way that she can trust no one, not even the people she thought were on her side. With her back against the wall, Kitty wants to believe she'll do whatever it takes to support the rebellion she believes in—but is she prepared to pay the ultimate price?
Sara Bennett, someone more likely to be found in bed, curled up with a good book, than out at a sports game or a gig (although she's pretty addicted to music too). Hoping for a better world, believing in her Savior, daydreaming of One Direction, hanging out with friends, or wherever she may be or might be doing....there's always a little voice inside wondering if it's almost time to return to the books sitting on her shelf. In short, an average young woman with a book in hand and a dream to write one day.

So, All Hallows Eve arrived the other evening as it does every year with dark skies and cold winds and more than a hint of magic in the air. For me though the magic came in the form of the new James Bond movie, Skyfall. I had booked to go with friends weeks ago, forgetting that the date we were booking was Halloween.
We took what we could get as every screening in every cinema seemed to be booking up fast. Who has been to see it? I won't give anything away in case you haven't. My friends and I decided to go smartly dressed to get into the spirit of it all and we booked a cinema where they served vodka martinis to you in your seat (shaken not stirred, but mostly shaken by the wobbly tray our waitress was using to carry them on!) All of which sounds great but by the time they have served the person in front of you for the 6th time during the course of the movie you begin to realise its only a fun treat when they are serving you your drinks!
The film was good, the plot line was unexpected and Javier Bardem was… different. Sam Mendes did a great job directing, such a talented theatre and film director, and British too! He's one of those people you look at and wonder how so much talent can be packed into one person? After the cinema, and our vodka martinis we decided to grab a bite to eat.
As we emerged from the cinema thats when I realised it was Halloween as I was accosted by hoards of very small but very cute skeletons, fairies, devils and vampires, there was even a zombie tellytubby! (a very clever recycling of an old tellytubby outfit by some poor harassed mum who hadn't time to organise anything else! I made a point of making a big deal about how great the costume was to placate the grumpy looking child and the poor mum!)
We arrived at our restaurant only to find they were serving ghoulish plates of Witches Fingers! They looked gruesome but tasted great. They were for the children in the neighbourhood who, being used to receiving 'proper' sweets were a little sceptical at first about these homemade treats but once they tasted them they were happy. At one point I was afraid they were going to refuse them! (I did think how embarrassing that would be as a restaurant full if paying customers to have the children refuse your treats!)
It was a fun night all around with no dressing up on my part but I still enjoyed wandering through the streets and seeing all the children so excited in their costumes. It brought me back to when I was a child and we all started talking about the games we used to play like bobbing for apples and a game which I think you call 'knockdown ginger'? Did you dress up or at any games?
I'd love to see any photos you have out there. If you've been to see Skyfall I'd love to hear what you thought of it too.
Until next time.

Happy Tuesday, friends!
The past few days we have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and our time with our wonderful friends, Laurie and Layne! It has been the best. And they are here until Thursday...still lots of fun to be had! In honor of our current visitors, I thought I would go ahead and finally share a visit we had about a month ago!
The day after Holli and Ellie left, so back in January, two more wonderful people joined us...Robert's mom and brother!! I can't tell you how much we love visitors, hint hint! We were really missing family so it was so great to have family with us for a whole week. We had a blast! As usual we ate lots of German food, gave them lots of tours of Nuremberg and enjoyed special time together. It was wonderful.
They got here on a Saturday, plenty of time for some yummy schnitzel, a little nap and Rob's basketball game! The next day we headed to Munich for the day. We first stopped to tour Dachau concentration camp, like we did with Holli and Ellie, and I said before a very emotional and intense experience. It really opens your eyes. After a heavy afternoon we headed into Munich for a light-hearted and FUN evening at Haufbrauhaus (famous brewery)! It was a blast talking, drinking and eating pretzels and sausage!
The rest of the time they were here we showed them all Nuremberg has to offer and enjoyed lots of fun time together...
such a wonderful mom right there!
Robert...the photographer. He goes to great links to get a great picture :)
Enjoying some Nurembergers...soo good.
Up at the castle!
They sure love their mama...aren't they adorable??:)
Nuremberg at night...love this view.
On their last morning here, I made this goodness. I will share soon, because it is a must bake!
Such a fun week with those two filled with such great memories! Julie and Pat, we MISS y'all!

Hi everybody!
This weeks tip is meant for anybody implementing oauth protected API's on the CA API Gateway or CA Mobile API Gateway. With both products the OAuth Toolkit (OTK) will be leveraged.
Here is the tip: Use variables set by 'OTK Require OAuth 2.0 Token'
When implementing oauth protected API's the main assertion to use is named OTK Require OAuth 2.0 Token. That assertion finds an incoming access_token and validates it. If the given token is invalid the assertion fails and returns an error. If the token is valid a few variables are being set. And those can be very useful when it comes to requiring more than just the token itself.
Here is a list of those variables and what they contain:
- access_token: the token that was used by the client. This is mainly for informational purposes
- session.client_id: the client_id of the client that has requested the token initially. This is for informational purposes but it could also be used to look up other associated values of this client
- session.scope: the granted SCOPE for this token. The content is a space separated list of values. It is useful to implement branches within an API that retrieves data based on the SCOPE. An example can be found at /openid/connect/v1/userinfo. That API first requires the SCOPE=openid (configured in OTK Require OAuth 2.0 Token). Further down it checks if the granted SCOPE includes values such as email or profile. Have a look how this variable is used with OTK SCOPE Verification
- session.subscriber_id: this is the username of the resource_owner that has granted the initial authorization request. If no consent was required during the token issuing process (e.g.: grant_type=password) it's simply the authenticated user. If the token was issued via grant_type=client_credentials the value will be the name of the client
- session.expires_at: the timestamp at which the token expires
- session.custom: this contains a JSON structure. The content contains values that were specified when the oauth client was registered in OAuth Manager. It also contains runtime information. In order to learn about the content, and since it varies, do the following during development: Use an Audit Detail assertion to log the content of '${session.custom}'. Afterwards extract values using the Evaluate JSON Path Expression assertion when you know what you want to extract. By default values such as the following are available:
- client_type: either 'confidential' or 'public'
- grant_type: the grant_type used to obtain the token
What to do with those variables
Now that you know about these variables you can implement use cases such as the following:
- grant access only if the token was obtained via a specific grant_type
- extract attributes of the current user to pass them on to the backend service
- grant different access to resources depending on the client type
- implement rate limiting based on the access_token for special cases
I hope this helps, and as usual, let me know if you need more information or details or if you have got other related questions!

Virtual offices - More flexible form of office.
Virtual offices are in limelight nowadays because of its capital saving feature as they provide much profit with less investment. But before jumping to the decision of investing in virtual office some benefits and disadvantages if virtual offices should be taken into consideration.
This article is focusing on imparting you with all the good and bad of this very new and fresh concept of virtual offices. Several things about virtual offices should be clearly known in much advance. It is so because allocating capital is quiet long and hectic process and after that investing it at proper place is gain a very crucial part of the successful business. If you planning to invest your capital at some place then all prior safety should be taken before taking a very big decision of putting your capital into some better place trough which you can generate profit. As in business you are alone responsible for the profits and losses caused due to one wrong decision taken which can lead to big disaster or very high profits.
Virtual offices have this benefit of flexibility in doing work from home. Also on the part of owner it is economical as if you go for buying your own space it will require big amount of capital which cannot be beard by every businessman. If you go for rented office then the rents of commercial property is so high that cannot be afforded by those entrepreneurs who are new to market with limited budget. Even the expenses of electricity bills, transportation cost, printing and stationery etc. will be saved and can be used for better use of the business that will be generating more capital in long term and lead to expansion. Also there are several benefits attached to it like flexibility in working time schedule you are your own boss there is no interference of any colleagues or boss in your work. This feature of virtual offices motivates to add more creativity and dedication to your work. Even the profit remains the same which can be achieved from traditional office so there is no big loss if you go for virtual offices. The efficiency of the business depends upon the factor that how well you have the co-ordination among employer and employees. For effective communication fast speed of internet and telephone connection should be opted for also the video chat and conferencing contributes for the efficient working of virtual offices.
But even after so many advantages attached to virtual offices the disadvantages should also be considered while choosing for virtual offices. Like virtual offices mostly lack proper co-ordination among employees and employee if there is no speedy communication due to bad connection of telephones or low server that hinders video conferencing and chat. Also their may be confusion on the part of employee to understand the work pattern that again will be affecting the performance and profit simultaneously. Even the personal interaction is needed for motivating employee to work better as the quality of interaction deteriorates in the case of telephonic conversation or trough video chat or conferencing. Therefore the virtual offices have many pros with cons as well but can be very fruitful if you have all efficient devices which a traditional office has.

Acrylic on 30" x 40" canvas
Another 2015 favorite inspired from a trip to Florida in February of 2015. An aerial view of the Ozarks in the winter where we live is a patchwork of various tones of brown. Seeing the palm trees and sunshiny colors of Florida captured my imagination. This painting was the outpouring of that experience that I so loved.

LuxeBox - Spring 2016
Ben and I had a mini-getaway to Calgary this past weekend for my sister's baby shower. She is having a little girl and we can't be more excited. Ben's going to have a little girl cousin!
When I got home on Sunday night, I was greeted at the airport by my hubby AND when we walked through the door, I was also greeted y my second LuxeBox...all wrapped in shinny gold bubble wrap. LuxeBox also mentioned that because it was eco-month, they would not be sending our goodies in the standard cream box, but instead a satin bag, to save trees. I'm thinking I might request this option going forward as I don't tend to use the boxes anyway.
My bag was filled to the brim with a great selection of products consisting of (from left to right) Babyliss Pro Argan Oil, Morgan Taylor Professional Nail Laquer in Eye Candy, Lippy Girl Vegocentric Vegan Lipstick in Hot Diggity Yam, Skin Republic CoQ10 Caviar Face Mask, Schick Hydro Silk Razor, Sweet Pea Soap Company Forever Adrienne Lilac Soap, Pop Beauty Kajal Pen in Inky Purple and Model Co Power Lash Black Mascara.
Loving the selections this season! The soap smells good enough to eat and I am really loving jewel tones on my eyes so the liner is fab.
Anyone else receive their LuxeBox? What are your thoughts?

To keep things real here, the Army gets it's money's worth of work out of my husband. Aside from deployments, he currently holds a very demanding position. Add to that the fact that we built our home about 40 minutes away from his work and, well, we don't always see him a lot. Weekdays he's out of the house before the rest of us wake up and if we're lucky he walks in the door as the boys are going to bed (or more often than not we are going through the pre-bedtime meltdown-welcome home honey!)
We really try to cherish and make the most of those times we are together. One of our rituals on the weekend is to sneak off to the sitting room while the boys watch cartoons and enjoy a cup of coffee together. I rarely drink coffee during the week but love sitting down with a cup on the weekend with him. I like to try the seasonally flavored creamers and recently started drinking Coffeemate Peppermint Mocha and it inspired me to create this Peppermint Oreo Truffle recipe that turned out amazing (and super easy!)

AdvisorShares, one of the largest issuers of active ETFs, continues to cultivate new relationships and fill the product pipeline with ideas for new exchange-traded products. Earlier this month the company filed details on a fund that would combine a common and long-standing investment strategy with the exchange-traded structure, shedding some light on plans to launch the STAR Global Buy-Write ETF (VEGA). The proposed ETF would be sub-advised by Partnervest Advisory Services [see all the AdvisorShares ETFs here].
AdvisorShares has taken a unique approach to development of its active ETFs; the company has partnered with a number of different sub-advisors to allow asset management firms to deliver their strategies in the ETF wrapper.
Buy-Write Strategies
The "buy-write" strategy is relatively straightforward, and has been implemented by investors for years. This technique essentially involves combining a long position in equities with a short position in call options on those equities-buying the stocks, while simultaneously writing call options on them. The premiums generated from the writing of call options provides an opportunity to enhance income to the portfolio, while the long position in equities limits the exposure that would be incurred by simply writing the options.
Buy-write strategies generally perform well in flat markets, since the income earned through the collection of option premiums enhances bottom line returns. When the stocks held rally, the gains to this strategy are limited as a result of the obligations incurred related to the call options (which become "in-the-money" to the holders when the underlying securities appreciate). Buy-write strategies also can be appealing when markets slump, since the premiums collected on options that expire worthless dampen the losses incurred by the long position in stocks [also see ETF Ideas For A Flat Market].
According to the filing, the proposed ETF would rely on a quant-based methodology to select both the equity securities and derivatives positions. The filing also noted that the fund managers would have the ability to establish "principal protection" to hedge against potential price declines of 20% or more. That protection would be achieved through the purchase of put options on the equity positions held by the fund.
Buy-Write ETFs
If approved, VEGA won't be the first exchange-traded product to offer investors exposure to the buy-write strategy; there are currently two index-based ETFs in this corner of the market. Existing buy-write ETPs include:
- PowerShares S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio ( PBP): This ETF is linked to the CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index, which combines a long position in the S&P 500 index and the sale of a succession of one-month, at- or slightly out-of-the-money S&P 500 Index call options that are listed on the Chicago Board Options Exchange.
- iPath CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index ETN ( BWV): This product is linked to the same index as PBP, but is structured as an ETN. That means that investors in BWV are exposed to the credit risk of the issuing institution, but will avoid tracking error that can arise from the execution of the sale of call options.
A head-to-head comparison of PBP and SPY highlights the risks and opportunities of this strategy. The buy-write ETF exhibits significantly lower volatility than traditional long only exposure to the S&P 500, but has lagged behind the SPDR in recent sessions as equity values have climbed sharply higher [read Do You Need A Covered Call ETF?].
