True confessions of a former contestant on 'The Bachelor'3comments
So it's Monday, which means tonight one young lady will have her heart broken on national television. OR, one young lady will dodge a Bachelor sized bullet… it all depends on your perspective.
As I've mentioned, I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with The Bachelor. Which is to say, I hate how much I love this damn show.
I have no problem admitting to watching Top Chef or Project Runway, because with those shows, you're watching talented people compete against each other using their respective skills. And I even feel okay about watching shows like Survivor or Big Brother, because the motivations of the contestants are, in a twisted way, completely pure… they want to win money.
With The Bachelor, it is a bit murkier. Supposedly everyone who goes on The Bachelor does so to find love, but after so many seasons, it's hard not to watch it without thinking that some (if not most) are only there to become reality television stars. But I still watch it. I find it absolutely fascinating… sometimes because it is legitimately engaging and sometimes because it is impossible to look away from the boozy train wreck.
So when my friend and Bachelor alum agreed to do an interview with me about what it is really like to be on the show I was thrilled. As I mentioned last week, not only was she one of the 25 women (can't tell you which season. Sorry), she made it down to the final two. We're not going to use her real name (we'll just call her Rose, because she got so many of them) because I wanted her to be as honest as possible without worrying about hurting anyone's feelings.
I have to say, talking with Rose completely changed my perception of the show. For one thing, I used to get a really annoyed by all the crying – some of the women have only known this guy for two days and they're completely devastated to be sent home? As I learned from talking with Rose, often the tears are as much about leaving friends behind as it is about the guy. And yes, the women may have only known the Bachelor for a few weeks, but these aren't normal weeks. These are reality television weeks, and that is a whole different ball game.
So without further ado, here's part one of the interview.
What Made You Want to be On the Bachelor?
My friends signed me up for it. Originally, they applied for me to be the next Bachelorette. I helped them make the video, and then producers started calling me to talk me about being the Bachelorette, but then they decided to go with someone who'd been on the previous season of The Bachelor. Then producers called me to be one of the 25 women on The Bachelor, but I didn't want to be one of 25 women. I wanted to be the one doing the choosing, but my friends thought it'd be a chance of a lifetime. I figured, why not?
What was the initial process like once in LA?
There are extensive interviews. They want to know everything about you. You sign confidentiality contracts, you have blood work drawn and then you meet with a psychiatrist.
What were the first few days like?
The women get there 3 days before the Bachelor, so we had a lot of time to hang out and get to know each other. When you see women crying leaving the first night, it's because they'll miss their new friends. You're with these women 24/7. You become close so when they leave suddenly, it's emotional. When you see the women crying at the end, it's less about the Bachelor and more about missing the other girls and the experience in the house.
Were you initially attracted to the Bachelor?
No, not really. At first site, he wasn't really my type. And that first night, I didn't get a lot of time with him. It took getting to know him. He was very personable and we were very much alike. Although the producers later told me that he was very chameleon-like. He'd be whatever he needed to be with each woman.
How much interaction did you have with The Bachelor off camera?
He lived on the same premises of the house we were staying in. So you'd see him in the morning, in the kitchen, but we were always mic'd.
How much contact did you have with the outside world while you were filming? Could you watch TV, use the internet or make phone calls?
Nothing. It was awful. After a while, you'd get to know the crew. They become your friends and you'd ask them what was going on in the world. There would be supervised phone calls if they were job related. I broke down once, just upset and exhausted and I asked to call my dad. They let me, but producers sit there with you while you're on the phone. Phone calls are rare and are only allowed with it is considered necessary. I was starting a new job in the fall, so they let me have supervised phone calls with my new boss.
What do you do to fill the time?
Drink. Workout. Layout. There is always alcohol available. If you run out of anything – band aids, nail polish, vodka… whatever. You just tell a production assistant and they get it for you.
How much drinking is going on?
You can start the morning with Bloody Marys or Mimosas if you want. There is always alcohol there. If anything runs out, you just tell them and they'll get it.
Since you can't work while you're on the show, how do women afford to go on it?
I had a break between jobs. Some of the women used their vacation time. Some are consultants or work from home. Some take their vacation days plus time without pay.
Are there professional hair and makeup for the women, or do you do it yourself? And is wardrobe provided?
The only time there was hair and makeup was for the rose ceremony. Mostly you do it yourself, and hair and makeup people are there for touchups, but as the show goes on you know which makeup person you like. As for the clothes, it's all your own clothes. People borrowed dresses a lot. You loaned stuff because you never knew what you'd be doing – riding motorcyles or going horseback riding or whatever. The worst was you had to pack every 3 days for the rose ceremony. So every 3 days you were packing up all these gowns and cocktail dresses only to unpack it if you were given a rose. It was a pain in the ass.
Are the women on the show as mean to each other as they are portrayed? Is the drama or cattiness emphasized? Are you pushed to say mean or rude remarks about one another?
Alcohol fuels a lot of it and you just have no other distractions, and of course you get on each other's nerves. With a few cocktails it's easy to say mean stuff. I was lucky. My image or persona on the show was the solid one. Producers told me I was "the rock" that I had no drama or no games. I feel that I was portrayed as myself. But there were times I begged them not to film me or air a breakdown. I'd get upset and ask them, don't ruin my career over this. You're stressed, you're missing home, you're tired, you have no independence. Your friends keep leaving so the longer you are on the show, the harder it gets.
What are the audiences not seeing?
My first date with the Bachelor was 13 hours. Audiences see 8 minutes. When he was visiting my home and meeting my family, we were just sitting on my couch talking, and a producer said "You guys are putting us to sleep." So we were forced to have some serious discussion about something, I don't even remember what now.
We'll have part 2 of this interview next Monday, and things will get even juicier. Have you ever watched the show and wondered just how many of the women end up sleeping with The Bachelor? Me too. So I asked Rose all about it. Stay tuned…

Man wanted in Philly killing found in Vt.
COLCHESTER The U.S. Marshals Service says a Pennsylvania man arrested in Vermont is awaiting extradition back to Philadelphia to face charges of murder and sexual assault on a minor.
Authorities say Clifford Murdah Moore was arrested Friday in a cab while on his way to the Burlington International Airport, from where he is believed to have been planning to leave the country.
The 34-year-old Moore was awaiting trial in Philadelphia after being charged with murder in 2010. While out on bail, he was charged with unlawful contact with a minor, statutory sexual assault, intimidation of a witness, corruption of a minor and making terrorist threats.
Authorities say Moore failed to appear for his trial, and a warrant was issued for him in November.MORE IN Central VermontMONTPELIER Members from local churches filled the Christ Episcopal Church in Montpelier Tuesday...

The other notable performance issue was the lack of revenue from our coal cleaning operations. Multiple advance contributed to the overall decline including operational issues at the Cleveland Cliff's mine, changing facilities at Walter's [ph] site and a shortage of feedstock at the Utah facility. We anticipate some improvement in the fourth quarter revenue from coal cleaning.We did not believe the decline in coal cleaning will have an impact on our efforts to sell 11 of our [ph] coal cleaning facilities. There were no new issues with the operating model and the perspective purchases continue to do their work.

An increasingly popular past time is playing at online casinos and to meet this rowing popularity, more online casinos seem to be appearing all the time. Of course, as more casinos appear, the competition between them becomes more apparent. This competition has led many casinos to offer bonuses for people that join their site rather than the site of one of their competitors and one of the most common bonuses offered is free spins. When free spins are offered as an incentive to join a particular site, they may have to be played on one particular machine or perhaps a particular group of machines but there are now some online casinos that offer the free spins to be played on any of their slot machines. This relatively new offer has come about due to the increased competitiveness of casinos and is a trend which will probably grow. Some casinos offer what they call a deposit bonus and basically this is where the casino will double the amount you place in the casino as an initial deposit, up to a certain amount at least. This means that if you make an initial deposit of $100, the casino will add $100 to your account as well. If though, the casinos bonus offer is only up to $50, if you place $100 in your account as an initial deposit, the casino will only add $50 to it. These are popular bonus incentives and seem to work well in encouraging players to join the casinos that offer them but now, there is an even better offer that some casinos are making to encourage you to join their casino instead and these better bonuses are known as no deposit bonuses. Once again there is a limit on the amount but a no deposit bonus is when you open account, even before you make an initial deposit into it, the casino will credit you with a certain amount so that you can start to enjoy playing immediately. Although this may seem like a way you could make a lot of money by winning with the no deposit amount that they give you and then walk away to join a different casino, it doesn't quite work that way. Although you are fee to play any of the games on offer at the casino, with the bonus they gave you, if you win you will only be allowed to take out a certain amount, usually either the equivalent of what the bonus was or perhaps even less. It is still a good offer though as you can freely play any of the casino games without having to spend any of your own money. You could perhaps even use the bonus amount to learn how to play baccarat which is rapidly becoming one of the more popular games at online casinos. Baccarat is relatively easy to learn to play and exciting, so is perhaps surprizing that in land based casinos, these games seem to be dominated only by the high rollers.
The Intricacies Of Sports Betting
Betting is done all over the world, sometimes clandestinely because it is illegal in some places, and sometimes openly because it is sanctioned by the law. From Las Vegas, Nevada to Macao to and other centers of betting and gaming, people engage in betting for different reasons. Some people want to while away their time by indulging in betting games. Some people, however, engage in betting because it is their lifeblood and source of income. Yet, whatever the reason of those who engage in betting, the simple fact remains that all betting produce a certain kind of excitement on those who are betting. Betting entails an element of chance which makes the process very exciting. Without this element, betting will always be very boring and devoid of thrill and excitement. This element of chance brings into the act of betting a thrill which you would seldom experience in other endeavors.
Betting however can be overdone to a point that people who manage the betting system become so engrossed in the process. Likewise, it could even reach a point wherein games would be fixed because one influential bettor wants to win a betting game. Hence, there is always a need for the government to mitigate and moderate betting games, because, if unchecked, it may lead to more serious problems in the society.
Sports betting game is very popular around the world. In America, every time there is a major game in boxing or in any popular sports, huge betting usually happens. Likewise, behind every huge sporting game in South Africa, there will always be huge sports betting south africa. Similarly, this huge betting happens anywhere in the world whenever a popular game or a championship game is being held.
The Intricacies of Sports Betting
Sports betting can be a bit complicated for those who are uninitiated to the process of sports betting. But it is simple if you understand the different terminologies and the different types of bets. In betting, you will always get your winnings if your team wins plus the amount that you have bet on a particular team. Hence, if you bet $5 on a particular team, you would usually be given a ticket of $11, which is tantamount to the $5 that you have bet and your winnings. So once you present your ticket, you would be rewarded with $10.
There are different forms of betting and some of these forms include Moneyline, spread point betting, proposition bets, parlays, progressive parlays, teasers, if bets, run line, puck line, or goal line bets, future wagers, head-to-head, totalizators, 2nd half bets, and in-play betting. If you want to be cognizant of these different types of bets, it would be good to learn how these bets are wrought and done.
The main actor in the act of betting is the bookmaker aside from the bettors. Without the bookmaker, bets will be very difficult to organize. It is the role of the bookmaker to act as the market maker for whatever sports wager. Bookmaker should have enough capital to survive any short term loss.
Operating a betting scheme in some parts of the world are illegal. Hence, if ever you would like to bet on any sports betting, make sure that you are doing it legally.

Online Casino Games Strategies
Some say that all online casino games essentially have their own strategy. For example, a Blackjack strategy lies behind the science of probabilities to understand what is considered to be more optimal for every situation. Online slot games however might merely seem as though they're a matter of pure luck – merely press the spin button and cross your fingers for the relevant symbols to hit the pay line. But even in online slots there are strategies when choosing the right slot game and then deciding how many pay lines and how many coins to play. Here are some basic guideline strategies that are common to most online casino games.
Choose your online casino game
When deciding which online casino game to play, it is all reliant on the individual and their particular preference. Should they choose to have a mentally challenging experience, they should try a game like online blackjack or online poker. Here their odds of winning are increased through careful consideration as to when they should hit or stand, or when to fold or raise.
If an individual prefers a wide range of betting choices, they should possibly consider playing online roulette. Online roulette allows a variety of betting choices from single-number bets, colour-based bets, odd or even bets and more. A player can either remain with the same bet throughout their play or they can change at the end of every round. The choices are entirely theirs.
There is no one game that suits absolutely everyone. Online casinos usually offer a variety of different games to suit everyone's needs and it is up to the player to find the game that suits them best.
Learn the online casino game of your choice
Before diving head first into the game you've decided to play, it is always a good strategy to familarise yourself with the game first. Many casinos have a play for free option whereby you can play the game for free without having to make any real money deposits. Once you're comfortable with how the games work and have made a choice, then you're ready to make a deposit and play for real money. It is important to remember that knowledge is power and it is also a great online casino game strategy.
Talk to the casino
Most reputable and trustworthy online casino have a customer call centre or customer service agents. They are usually exceptionally friendly and willing to help. So make use of them – ask the questions you may have or speak to them about any problems concerning you. There is no need to be shy at all, they are there to ensure only the best online gaming experience.
Manage your money
It is imperative that, before you even begin playing, that you have an idea in your head about what you're willing to wager. You need to know how much money you're willing to lose and do not deviate from this in the hope of recouping your losses. Once your threshold has been reached, walk away.
Enjoy your online gaming experience
Another very important point to remember is that playing online games should be for the pure enjoyment of it. Have fun while you're playing! Don't let obsessing about winning or losing consume you. Enjoy the online casino revolution and have fun!

Here, we don't just urge you to do some gambling and keep winning. We also keep you professionally inclined and disciplined by training you how to know and familiarize your limits in gambling.

I'm sure this is a simple problem for most of you :) I have looked around the R help pages and on here and I know what the function is that I need (arrows I think) but I just don't understand how to use it. So my question is:
I have a dataframe (data) with the results of an experiment which I have simplified to this:
treatment y lower_limit_CI upper_limit_CI
1 0.13284413 0.1224 0.1438
2 0.263072558 0.2458 0.2809
3 0.234218546 0.217 0.2521
4 0.394980185 0.3702 0.4201
5 0.474533107 0.4457 0.5035
6 0.583333333 0.5526 0.6136
I have drawn a barplot of the data like so:
plot <- barplot(data$y)
and I know that I now need the function arrows (yes?) to add the confidence limits also stored in my dataframe to the plot.
Can someone please show me how to use arrows to get the correct info. from my dataframe? I have tried this on the advice of someone:
arrows(plot, data$y - data$lower_limit_CI,
plot, data$y + data$upper_limit_CI,
code=3, angle=90, length =0.1)
which gives giant bars which are obviously incorrect. Can anyone help?

This Saturday February 20th at 7:30pm, the epic mafia movie we all know and quote is coming to the Sony Centre to be screened while the Motion Picture Symphony Orchestra simultaneously brings its epic soundtrack to life.
You didn't think The Godfather could get any better, but, it can.

Followers can also get up to 3 bonus entries via the following options:
- liking/commenting on my Instagram post about it.
- by retweeting my tweet about the giveaway.

- The winner will be contacted via email on Friday morning.
And if you don't want to take the risk of not winning tickets, you should probably consider buying your tickets now.
Well, the end of January is here – and I had planned to post this review of 2015 a few weeks back, but then David Bowie died – and it felt wrong to post about my year when I (and the world around me) was feeling so sad about losing this music legend. So I put it off… but then I wasn't sure if there was any reason for me to write about Bowie after literally anyone and everyone wrote everything that could be said about him.
But then I remembered how shitty I felt (in retrospect) for not writing about Lou Reed when he passed away. Lou's I don't give a fuck attitude made him arguably even more of a personal icon for me than the colourful Bowie, so I wasn't expecting Ziggy Stardust's death to hit me quite as hard as it did. I am well aware that I will be a mess when Dylan (and Springsteen) leave this world, but I wasn't expecting it with Bowie. Maybe because I had never thought about it, because he really did seem like a beautiful immortal alien.
What I will say, is that I hope everyone can exit the physical world with the level of creativity, grace, humour and acceptance he did with Blackstar. As he always did, he used his fame to shine a light on something seemingly scary if you're struggling with it (gender, sexuality, diversity… being different in any way, and now death) and made it into something beautiful.
Now for that 2015 year in review I wrote…. Well, the last one I posted was all the way back at the end of 2012.
By the end of 2013, I was working my ass off during Christmas break for free – the year end was so stressful I just didn't have time to write about the year as a whole – but the majority of the year was actually some of the best times of my life – I traveled for free to many festivals, I attended all the events, ended toxic friendships, met someone special, and opportunities came my way that I will remember forever. While I don't know that this Weakerthans song really summed up 2013 for me, it was an important one for a few reasons, so it gets the title.
In 2014, some shady shit went down. I made mistakes, for sure, but something so vile was done to me that I didn't feel it would be a positive thing to write about. My privacy was violated in a huge way and lies were spread – I could have sued (and some say I should have because of the proof I have) – but my decision was instead to let it go and use my time in more positive productive ways. The experience made me understand completely why so many Ghomeshi victims chose to stay silent about what happened: you can try to get justice, but you will only stress yourself out more – and after the months I had already spent being in a constantly stressed out state, the last thing I wanted was more stress. I chose to focus on being happy, and put it behind me as much as I could. As the year came to an end, I was very happy. My song of 2014 was Taylor Swift's Shake It Off. It was the anthem I needed, right when I needed it. Just remember, if you address the lies, you are playing into it. Don't spend your energy on negativity, it will only drag you down with them.
So here I am at the
end of 2015 start of 2016. My song of 2015 is Ryan Adams version of Shake It Off, because 2015 was hard as well, but for personal, rather than outside reasons. This song fully exemplifies the way it feels when a truly important relationship ends and you're trying your best to move on. Taylor's version is the anthem you need when people that don't matter are fucking with you (haters gonna hate), Ryan's is the version that feels exactly right when it's someone who matters the most (players gonna play).
2015 was a hard year. I hadn't fully healed from what happened in 2014, and it's quite possible I used my relationship to ignore it. If I had someone, I was okay, and I could forget what happened to me and how it tainted my relationship with the thing I had always loved most – music.
As my relationship ended, I struggled deeply to be happy. I had lost my passion for the local music scene, and now I had lost my best friend.
I am lucky enough that I had great friends to pull me through the hardest days. They lifted me up and invited me out, stayed up with me until the sunrise made it safe to sleep again, and reminded me to shake it off, and to know my worth. I also have amazing parents, a family that loves me, and a pomeranian who is still the light of my life. So, while I felt a giant void from the events of the last 2 years, I am well aware how lucky I am, and how the ones that matter never go away, or make you feel like you're unworthy of their time.
2015 was also the year that I moved to a new apartment. When facing heartbreak, a new home is a good way to wipe away memories and start fresh – but after 7+ years living on Cameron street in the literal heart and soul of the city, I really did not want to move. I started my blog there, ran my business from its moldy, damaged walls, and watched my life radically grow from something I was bored of into the purpose driven, opportunity drenched one I created.
Basically, all the good things that happened in my life happened while I lived there. My life only started to feel like it was mine when I was able to wake up every morning and see that big THIS IS PARADISE Cameron House sign out my window – reminding me that it was paradise – and that my life would never again be like it was before I lived there. Before I knew how to be me. Before I knew who I was supposed to be. I had graduated University when I moved there at 22, and here I was, newly 30, having to leave my first real home behind.
I am now 4 months into the radical shift that is Liberty Village life, a whole 20 minute walk away from my former intersection. And I'd be lying if I said I love this neighbourhood even half as much as I loved Queen and Spadina – but I do love my new apartment – and no longer living in a dilapidated, rundown 3rd floor walk-up (that briefly had mice) is actually quite nice. My giant balcony has a view of Lake Ontario, and I have about double the space of my former place, along with a game room, an onsite gym, free parking, storage, and a park for Mr. Bojangles to play in – aka I giant change from Cameron Street. Oh and I have so much counter space, so I can fulfill all my cooking dreams #growingup.
Speaking of cooking – I set out a bunch of hefty goals in 2015 – and I think one of the only ones I successfully completed was learning to cook. I had a goal of cooking one new from scratch recipe a week – 48 total – and while I didn't hit that number – I still did pretty damn good. I didn't want to be 30 and still eating chemically modified food from a box, and thankfully I will never have to worry about that again.
My intentions for 2016 are, as always, quite large, but I finally feel like I am back in the headspace to make them happen. I have no more distractions and I know the path I need to take to reach the next big goal.
A redesign of TTRO is in the works, and when it happens, things will feel different – but the content itself won't change because it will still be my thoughts, ramblings, experiences and opinions. I might be writing more about healthy living, and less about drinking all night watching bands, but that's because I am no longer 24 – as I was when I started this. My life goals are a little different now, so as I change, the blog changes too.
This is my 2016 manifesto: I will not waste a minute of 2016 on people who don't have a minute for me, as I have done so much in the past. On guys who don't text back within a respectful timeframe, on "cool" people I think I need to impress, on writing I don't want to do, on anything that doesn't inspire me and anyone who doesn't give me back as much as I give them and want me in their life as much as I want them. I will spend more time working on the big projects I am excited to produce; with the people I know will always be there for me; and doing more things that are good for my health and well-being.
I hope you had a great 2015 (or at the very least, one filled with big lessons as mine was). Here's to a productive and kind (rest of) 2016.
The way technology is changing vehicles is quite a thing to witness. The connected car is a thing of brilliance and beauty. As if our lives weren't simple enough, now our cars are as useful as our smartphones.
Well, I didn't think it could get much better – but the fact is – when it comes to audio, most cars have a decent system, but there is usually room for improvement.
Lucky for us, Ford figured out how to reach the pinnacle of car audio perfection by teaming up with Sony while they were designing their new 2016 Ford Explorer Platinum.
The new Premium Audio System by Sony includes 12 high-quality speakers in 10 areas throughout the car, including sub-woofers – meaning your car has a surround sound system – so everyone in the car gets the same epic sound quality experience (yes even way at the back).
I had a chance to test drive the car and it was almost comparable to concert quality sound – the Clear Phase and Live Acoustic technology ensures there is limited distortion (no matter how loud you blast it), which is key for those long highway drives when all you want to do is singalong at the top of your lungs to Springsteen to make the trip go by faster.
During the launch, myself and a group of bloggers were invited to the Sony Centre to check out the car while also experiencing the concert sound of the Sony Centre, to compare. It's crazy to me how they were able to capture that live sound experience within the vehicle.
While I wouldn't normally see the band Magic! out of my own volition, it was super fun to have a private show put on for the very small group of us, in a venue as large as the Sony Centre.
Sidenote – we also stopped for dinner at Pravda Vodka Bar for dinner – which, as a Vodka girl – I had always been meaning to try out. If you're looking for a great date spot in Toronto, this is the place. Their drink menu is my dream drink menu.
Beyond the brilliant audio, the car itself is beautiful. It's the largest vehicle I've ever driven, which normally would intimidate me, but with SYNC doing its job, and all the other perks it comes with, I was more than happy to drive this SUV around the city. The greatest perk of all might be the massaging seats. I've had heated seats before – but this takes it to another level. I get serious lower back pain from time to time and having this option was truly a blessing.
What can't this car do? Seriously. If you want to impress your relatives this holiday, drive up in one of these. Everyone will want to take turns testing it out.
If you watched last weekend's SNL you will probably know why I am posting this.
Leon Bridges music is gorgeous, but this particular performance of this song did something to me that I can't quite explain. As I tweeted, I stopped in my tracks while doing chores. I had to watch the screen and pay attention to what was happening because it was so powerful.
The album version is strong, but gospel music is at its best live, and it shows here. This performance is one of the most beautiful live performances in SNL history, if you ask me.
I watch SNL to laugh, but this made me cry (in a good way). This is music at its best. This is music that forces you to pay attention because it's reaching some part of you that you don't even really know is there until you hear a song performed like this.
I am posting this for anyone who may have missed it, but mostly I am posting it for me, so I can always easily come back and find it in the years to come.
Any Queen fans around here? That's what I thought.
There is a symphonic production coming to the Sony Centre on Wednesday November 25th spotlighting the music of Queen, and I have a pair of tickets to give to one of you.
I have always been a fan of blending different mediums together to make them more accessible to various tastes. This is another example of doing just that.
If you would like to see some talented musicians perform the epic songs of Queen with the symphony, all you have to do is email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject line 'Queen Ticket Giveaway.'
You can also get a bonus entry by following me on Instagram and hearting the photo about this giveaway once it's posted.
One winner will win two tickets to the Toronto performance at Sony Centre on November 25th, and will be contacted via email by Monday November 23rd at 5pm.
Good luck!

Herbalife Circus: Expect More Entertainment (Update1)
battle on CNBC in January between Icahn and Ackman was one of the most entertaining segments on financial television in years -- maybe ever. Icahn cursed repeatedly, saying he was given permission to say "whatever the hell I wanna say." He even accused CNBC host Scott Wapner of trying to bully him.The amazing thing about this story is that it doesn't stop at Icahn and Ackman. Dan Loeb, another hedge fund heavyweight, recently announced that he owns 9 million shares, or 8% of Herbalife. In a letter to investors, Third Point's Loeb refuted Ackman's claims that Herbalife is a pyramid scheme. "The pyramid scheme is a serious accusation that we have studied closely with our advisors. We do not believe it has merit," Loeb wrote in the letter. Other hedge fund managers besides Icahn and Loeb have come out against Ackman. Robert Chapman of Chapman Capital and John Hempton of Bronte Capital have previously said Herbalife's business model is legitimate. I've long suspected that many on Wall Street simply do not like Ackman, for whatever reason. Maybe it's the way he conducts himself in public, maybe it's the fact that he's achieved so much success (although Icahn could buy and sell Ackman a few times over). I don't know what it is, but there just seems to be something that people don't like about him. Ackman responded to Icahn's investment, saying he welcomed it. Icahn appeared today on CNBC's Fast Money to talk about the investment. He said the investment is not personal, but rather that he's trying to make money, and that he believes Herbalife and MLMs are a great way to retail products. Icahn took the time to throw a few jabs at Ackman, saying his 300-page paper "is nothing" and that there is no expert opinion in the paper. "If Ackman gets squeezed, I'm not going to feel sorry," Icahn said during the interview. "The fact that I don't like Ackman, you could say, is the strawberry on top of the ice cream." No matter what happens in this battle of hedge fund heavyweights, one thing is clear. Whoever loses, whether it's Ackman or Icahn, the rest of us can expect more good times. -- Written by Chris Ciaccia in New York >Contact by Email. Follow @Commodity_BullThis spat is clearly personal, boiling down to the fact that Icahn simply does not like Ackman, alleging that he reneged on a deal in the past. Since then, Icahn, 76, has clearly held a grudge against the 46-year-old hedge fund manager. The

Menarini negotiated exclusive rights to Ipsen's EMEA-approved gout therapy, Adenuric®, in 41 countries including those in the EU, Russia, and countries west of Russia. The first launches of the drug in Europe are projected for early 2010. Under the terms of the deal, Ipsen retains co-promotion rights to the drug in France and could receive up to €132 million (about $197.27 million) in an up-front payment and commercial milestones plus royalties from sales in Menarini's territories. Adenuric was granted EU marketing authorization in June 2008 for the treatment of chronic hyperuricemia in conditions in which urate deposition has already occurred, including tophus and/or gouty arthritis. The API, febuxostat, is an oral, nonpurine selective inhibitor of xanthine oxidase, originally discovered by Teijin Pharma. The Japanese company granted Ipsen exclusive European development and marketing rights to Adenuric in 2003. The drug will also be supplied to Menarini by Teijin. Febuxostat is marketed as Uloric® in the U.S. by licensee Takeda Pharmaceutical.
One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?

Does anyone think it's too late to get into this fund? I notice it's had one heck of a ride, but I like the fact the same manager has been at the helm since 1997, and the holdings seem to be pretty well diversified. Is it now trading at a premium to it's net asset value?
Sincere thanks,
If you want diversified (and everyone should want diversified), then buy index funds.
I buy Ken Heebner's funds, however, to beat the market, not buy the market.
For what it's worth, my strategy is: 50% index funds, 25% to Ken Heebner, and 25% for me to blow with my own stock picking folly.
As far as the evaluation of the funds goes, consider that he turns over the stocks at about 300% rate per year. This means that today's fund is not last month's fund. The manager is the only thing steady here.
AFAIK, open ended funds always trade at NAV. Only closed-end funds will vary.
This is what people don't understand. It's never too late to get into a great fund. Think of it this way. If there is a beatiful woman out there that you know for sometime. Although she is dating or married to someone right now, it's never too late to ask her out. You will never know until you ask or in your case invest.
I like the beautiful woman analogy! :)
I was thinking the same thing a few days ago and jumped in last wed. (Oct.31) and made some $$$ already. My opinion is it will continue to grow with this current management.
Wish you luck,but I wouldn't wait to long. I will continue to watch and probably invest again shortly. ( when $$$ is available)
You might think there is no correlation to the market, because Heebner has a huge portfolio turnover, but another way of looking at it is the fact that nobody picks stocks 100% right all the time and is his luck about to run out. Its like when a sports team wins 20 games in a row.....they could win another 20, but the odds are diminishing. Or when a team loses 20 in a row and your team is about to play them......they are due to win one.
If you're looking to get into CGM right now, CGMRX might be a better choice. Heebner hardly ever has done below category avg. This last quarter (YTD & Q4) CGMRX is below category average. I'm confident that Ken will quickly change that!
Watch him speak today on CNBC @ 2:15PM
"Does anyone think it's too late to get into this fund? I notice it's had one heck of a ride, but I like the fact the same manager has been at the helm since 1997, and the holdings seem to be pretty well diversified. Is it now trading at a premium to it's net asset value?"
I think your trying to overanalyze. A statistical variation from the mean is a good thing in this case. Also this fund cannot trade at a premium to it's net asset value. Only closed end funds can do that. The concentration in certain industries may be a good thing if depending on the path of the US economy and global events. The manager of the fund has done a spectacular job identifying key economic trends early and finding stocks that will benefit. I�m invested in this fund right now because my feeling is there is above average risk in owning the overall market right now. Time will tell if that is true or not. In either case CGMFX may still outperform the market indexes.
"holdings seem to be pretty well diversified"
if there is one word to characterize this fund then it is "non-diversified"
I see that it's invested in hardware, telecommunications, business services, consumer goods, industrial materials, and energy. Do you mind explaining why you say it's not diversified.

- Adoption of the Building Information Modeling (BIM) for Construction
Project Effectiveness: The Review of BIM Benefits
Authors: Lancine Doumbouya; Guoping Gao, Changsheng Guan
Pages: 74 - 79
Abstract: Building Information Modeling (BIM) has recently attracted extensive attention in the Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry with an increase in the use of information technology, all the while increasing productivity, efficiency, infrastructure value, quality, and sustainability, rendering a purer image of constructability issues that are dealt with at the beginning of the construction process. The purpose of this study is to better comprehend the BIM benefits and to analyze BIM adoption, thus providing better understanding of BIM and its usefulness in various stages of the construction projects. Our review concludes that BIM fulfills its purpose through all the stages of the construction project delivering benefits in terms of improved design quality, easiness to implement, information sharing ability, reduction of construction costs and design errors, faster work and shortening the construction time, enhancing energy efficiency, supporting construction and project management, and enabling its owners more operational efficiency in the building lifecycle. The current research identifies relevant factors and outcomes of BIM, and sets up a framework for a future study. The critical review of BIM benefits contributes to the existing body of literature on AEC and BIM.
