Canadian Dollar Rises as Economy Adds More Jobs Than ForecastAri Altstedter
The Canadian dollar strengthened to the highest level in more than two weeks as the nation added jobs at triple the pace forecast last month, indicating the recovery remains resilient as U.S. employment growth falters.
The currency rose against the majority of its most-traded peers as Statistics Canada said the economy added 59,200 positions in August, compared to the 20,000 forecast in a Bloomberg survey of 22 economists. The unemployment rate fell to 7.1 percent from 7.2 percent. The U.S., the nation's biggest trading partner, added 169,000 jobs in August, compared to the 180,000 forecast in a separate Bloomberg survey.
"For a while it's been quite clear the Canadian labor market has recovered to its pre-recessionary position and this data just suggests, that while the Canadian economy has had its issues this year, it still is in better shape than the U.S.," said Jane Foley, senior currency strategist at Rabobank International, by phone from London. "It's a combination of disappointing U.S. data and a better Canada number."
The loonie, as the Canadian dollar is known for the image of the aquatic bird on the C$1 coin, rose 1 percent to C$1.0405 per U.S. dollar at 5:00 p.m. in Toronto. The currency reached C$1.0382, the strongest level since Aug. 20. One loonie buys 96.11 U.S. cents.
Canada's 10-year benchmark government bond rose for the first time in six days, with yields falling three basis points or 0.03 percentage point, to 2.77 percent. The 1.5 percent security maturing in June 2023 added 27 cents to C$89.25.
Taper Speculation
The U.S. dollar fell against all but one of its most traded peers as slower-than-forecast job growth in that country caused investors to curb bets the Federal Reserve will reduce monetary stimulus, which is thought to depress the greenback, at its Sept. 17-18 meeting.
Part-time employment in Canada rose by 41,800 in August, with full-time jobs rising by 17,400, Statistics Canada said. Service industry employment increased by 40,600 and goods-producing companies hired 18,600.
"You could argue there was a fair degree of part-time job creation, but nevertheless jobs being created, and the fact the participation rate was up and unemployment rate was down obviously contrasts fairly positively with what we saw south of the border," said Jeremy Stretch, head of currency strategy at Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, by phone from London. "That has provided the Canadian dollar with some impetus."
Poloz Forecast
Futures traders increased bets that the Canadian dollar will decline against the U.S. dollar to the most since June 14, figures from the Washington-based Commodity Futures Trading Commission show. The difference in the number of wagers by hedge funds and other large speculators on a decline in the Canadian dollar compared with those on a gain, known as net shorts, was 34,639 on Sept. 3, compared with net shorts of 24,959 a week earlier.
Consumer spending underpinned by a housing boom has powered the world's 11th largest economy since the 2008 global financial crisis. Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz says the expansion needs to shift to business spending from indebted consumers, a process that policy makers said this week is taking longer than they predicted.
The Bank of Canada forecasts third quarter growth at 3.8 percent in its July monetary policy report. Gross domestic product grew 1.7 percent in the second quarter.
Options traders became the least bearish on the Canadian dollar in four weeks. The three-month so-called 25 delta risk reversal rate, which measures the premium charged for the right to buy the U.S. dollar against its Canadian counterpart versus contracts to sell, fell to 1.38 percent, the lowest point since Aug. 9.
Consumer Prices
The Bank of Canada kept its benchmark rate on overnight loans between commercial banks at 1 percent for the 24th consecutive meeting on Sept. 4 and said slack in the economy will start to disappear in 2014.
Business spending and exports have slowed the expansion of the world's 11th largest economy this year even with recent signs of stronger growth in the U.S. and Europe. Consumer spending has continued to lead growth after warnings from Poloz and Finance Minister Jim Flaherty about record debts taken on at low interest rates.
Consumer prices advanced 1.3 percent in July from a year earlier, the 15th straight month the rate was slower than the bank's 2 percent target. Output growth slowed to a 1.7 percent annualized pace in the second quarter, including a monthly decline of 0.5 percent in June that was the biggest since the 2009 recession.
The Canadian dollar rose 0.7 percent in the last week against nine developed nation currencies tracked by the Bloomberg Correlation Weighted Indexes. The U.S. dollar is down 0.7 percent and New Zealand's currency is the biggest gainer with a 3.2 percent rise.

An exclusive Observer survey today reveals that, while Tony Blair may be hoping for 'a people's Internet', Young Turks making fortunes out of cyberspace generally have silver spoons in their mouths.
Our Young Rich survey identifies Britain's 100 richest entrepreneurs, entertainers and aristocrats aged 30 or under. It reveals that e-commerce companies dominate the entrepreneur section. Non-Internet moneymakers on the list include a sports promoter, record company boss and property developer.
Most of the 40 business people - valued at a minimum of £2.2 million each - are public school-educated and at least 13 are Oxbridge graduates. Among the entrepreneurs are:
Toby Rowland, 30, son of former Lonrho chief, Tiny. The son is a co-founder of a the Internet business called Clickmango.com, which sells health and beauty products.
The Gestetner brothers, Daniel and Leo, whose family sold its photocopying business for £179m in 1996. They now run shopsmart.com.
Mark Slater, given a share portfolio for his sixteenth birthday by financier father Jim Slater, who was part of Slater-Walker Securities, which crashed in the Seventies. Mark runs the invest ment firm Internet Indirect.
Emma Edelson, daughter of Michael Edelson, the Manchester United director and City deal maker. Michael masterminded the dramatic flotation of his daughter's Internet investment company, Oxygen, in February and provided her with access to financial backing through his well-developed network of City contacts. Oxygen investors include the fashionable public relations expert Matthew Freud and BSkyB boss Elisabeth Murdoch.
The survey exposes the myth that the Internet has ushered in a new wave of tycoons to sweep away the old establishment.
It shows that those making most out of technology are the same as they have always been, and money and contacts are still crucial. Venture capitalists estimate that it costs between £250,000 and £500,000 to get a dot.com company up and running.
The Young Rich survey also reveals:
The 19-year-old banned from casual sex or going out alone after 11pm by financial backers who fear rivals will pinch his secret invention.
The company created by Posh Spice and her mother to sell David Beckham's name.
The 16-year-old aristocrat who will inherit £850m including 100 acres around London's Oxford Street.
How British Young Rich compare with their counterparts in in Germany, Spain, Sweden and the US.

Macy's Invests More Than $170 Million In Direct-To-Consumer Fulfillment Center In Tulsa County, Oklahoma
Construction of the 1.3 million-square-foot facility is expected to begin in spring 2014, with operations starting in April 2015 and the first orders shipping in summer 2015. When fully operational, the Tulsa fulfillment center is expected to employ approximately 1,500 full- and part-time associates year-round.
In addition, another 1,000 or more temporary seasonal associates are expected to be hired each year to handle a significantly higher level of online orders from customers during the holiday shopping season. Between 350 and 500 construction jobs are expected as the facility is built.
"The rapid growth of Macy's direct-to-customer shipments, rooted in our omnichannel approach to business, requires us to continue to strategically add fulfillment capacity so our customers can receive their orders quickly and efficiently. Customers today are shopping whenever, however and wherever they prefer - via stores, desktops and mobile devices - and we continue to invest to meet the customer demand," said Terry J. Lundgren, Chairman, President and CEO of Macy's, Inc. "We have rolled out fulfillment capability to 500 Macy's stores nationwide, as well as built three major fulfillment centers over the past seven years. Our new Tulsa County facility will represent another significant expansion of our shipping capacity, particularly to customers in central and southern regions of the United States.
"Tulsa County is the ideal location and environment for this new facility, and we look forward to becoming a larger presence in northeast Oklahoma," Lundgren said. "We are delighted by the warm reception and enthusiastic support we have received from civic and business leadership in Oklahoma. In particular, we want to thank Gov. Mary Fallin, Commissioner John Smaligo Jr. and the Tulsa County Board of Commissioners, Mayor Doug Bonebrake and the City of Owasso, Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Bill John Baker, the Indian Nations Council of Governments and the Tulsa Regional Chamber. They were instrumental in our decision to select Tulsa County from among more than 150 sites in multiple states for this significant investment."
"We are extremely excited to welcome Macy's, Inc. to our Oklahoma family. Tulsa County is a thriving metropolitan community and an excellent choice to locate or expand a business. This announcement is another sign that Oklahoma is a destination-state for those seeking a location with strong economic growth and a skilled, dedicated workforce," Gov. Mary Fallin said.
"A Macy's fulfillment center in the Tulsa area will be an economic boon for the entire region. It's an honor for the Cherokee Nation to be a major partner in this project through a half a million dollars in financial incentives and employee recruitment," said Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Bill John Baker. "The ripple effect of this economic growth will be felt across northeast Oklahoma, and well into the 14 counties of the Cherokee Nation. The Cherokee Nation already employs 9,000 people in this region, and indirectly supports another 5,000 jobs. This is yet another way we are helping to expand our economic footprint in northeast Oklahoma, which helps Cherokees citizens and all citizens of Oklahoma. We are proud to have been an important partner in bringing this project to Oklahoma."

Years later, Chai comes back to Thailand, with his wife that he married abroad named Chomphilai. Khunying Aumporn, Chai's mother, is quite unhappy with the fact. But after she finds out that Chom comes from a good and wealthy family, she decides to accepts her into the family.

In exchange, khunying Aumporn's diamond necklace is taken as collateral. In order to avoid paying 100 million bahts and get the diamond back, khunying Aumporn convinces Chom to divorce Chai so he can marry Nongsai.

This is the opening sentence to The Sun's exclusive splash today:
"ITV picked up the tab so students could sink the equivalent of up to 24 PINTS each for flagship news documentary Tonight: Britain's Young Drinkers."
And this is the opening paragraph to a story published online by Broadcast magazine two days ago:
"ITV's production team paid the bar tab for a group of students during a Tonight investigation into binge drinking, Broadcast can reveal."
A remarkable coincidence? Evidently, according to a Sun insider, that was indeed the case. I am given to understand that the paper picked up the story after receiving a tip-off from someone involved in the show.
Their reporters only became aware of the Broadcast article once they had begun to research their own story.
So, in spite of the similarity, they did not feel a credit for the magazine was necessary. The Sun certainly added many more details to the tale than in the Broadcast version
Doubters should also note that The Sun is acutely aware it cannot afford to poach online stories having previously complained about Mail Online's habit of lifting copy.

The civil servant runner's youngest brother is set to become the part-time job runner. On July 1 it was announced that marathoner Yuki Kawauchi's youngest brother Koki Kawauchi (21, Takasaki Keizai Univ. 4th-yr.) will continue his career as an athlete following his graduation next spring by joining the Arata Project led by London Olympian Arata Fujiwara (32, Miki House).
Koki is already training with the other members of the Arata Project group and went to Switzerland last summer to train with Fujiwara at his altitude training camp in St. Moritz. "Yeah, it's probably better if he trains with Fujiwara than with me," commented Yuki.
Depending on his race results, as a member of the Arata Project Koki will begin to receive financial support from the project beginning next year. However, he will rely mainly on income from a part-time job at another company where he will work during the day. Nevertheless, Koki vowed to outdo Yuki, saying, "Even if it's not an easy life, I'll do my best!"

New Delhi, Feb 12: Congress leader Shashi Tharoor who faced a third round of questioning was asked to clarify some of the statements made by others who were also questioned on Thursday.
Tharoor who faced five hours of questioning today was back at 10 pm back at the Vasanth Vihar police station for a third round of questioning.
Police sources informed that he was called back late in the night as they needed some clarification. The police had also questioned Tharoor's friend Sanjay Diwan and others.
Based on the statements made by Diwan and others the Delhi police sought some clarifications from Tharoor. The Delhi police say that they are examining every aspect and hence several rounds of questioning is required.
Meanwhile, Sunanda Pushkar's viscera samples will be examined at Federal Bureau of Investigation lab in the United States of America. The viscera samples were taken to the US by Deputy Commissioner of Police, Delhi, Premnath.
The examination of the viscera samples are extremely crucial to the case. The Delhi police is convinced that she was poisoned to death. However the police could not get the samples examined in India since it is said to contain poisons that cannot be determined here.
Probe moving on
Earlier in the day, Shashi Tharoor was questioned for nearly five hours. The police were trying to ascertain if there was a conspiracy in the death is Sunanda.
The police also sought to know from Tharoor details of the IPL deal. An officer of the Economic offences wing was also present at the questioning.

We turned up on a chilly Tuesday evening to a completely deserted restaurant. We ordered the starter, a selection, for my husband and I and said our two children would share - 10 minutes later, four beautiful starters emerged. We followed with pasta, there was a limited selection but what we all had was amazing. Our son then had a...
Excellent personal attention and service. We stumbled on this restaurant in August 2012 hot and tired - and had a lovely lunch in a nice refined setting. My son selected his fish from the selection on ice. Handmade potato wedges were delicious. Seafood ravioli very nice. Nice for families with calm children.
Very friendly waiter who took his time to take us through the menu and explained Sardinian specialities and wines to us. He made excellent recommandations, which were not driven by the intention to make us pay much. The food is excellent, freshly made and creative. Try a variation of local high level antipasti - you'll be very pleased. e.g. squid...
Hey the food is fantastic, the wine is excellent and the prices match those of other restaurants. Plus the chef speaks English, rare in Sassari.

When you're the new kid on the block just be quiet and play. That's what Geno Smith is learning. After predicting the New York Jets would make the playoffs, Geno learned firsthand what it means to shut and play, as he was quickly reprimanded by the Jets for his outlandish prediction. "I've already gotten in trouble for saying some things about playoffs and things, which I don't regret," Smith said Sunday on Sirius XM Radio. "I don't think I'll go as far as being as bold as Joe was." "I don't think I'm a bad guy," he said. "I don't think I'm some of the things they try to make me out to be. It's a part of the media. The one thing that I understand is you can't take it personally. Those guys have jobs and the key to their jobs is to sell papers and to keep the fans looking. So they're going to spin things and try to make an interesting story out of something that may not be so interesting." Did Geno mean any harm when he made that bold statement? Of course not, but as a rookie, whom isn't guaranteed a starting position as a quarterback, those words should have never left his mouth. Last year the Jets were terrible, and I'm not sure if they acquired enough pieces to propel them from their previous position. Smith will have his hands full as he competes for the starting quarterback position, which he will be up against Mark Sanchez, Greg McElroy and Matt Simms. New York City will chew you up and spit you out if you make promises you can't deliver. Geno needs to keep his head in the playbooks, and keep his comments to the media at a minimum.

TripAdvisor Reviews St. Ronans Bed & Breakfast Larne
Travel Blogs from Larne
... On arriving we drove off the ferry and not really wanting to go into another big city we chose our first port of call to be Ballygally which is just up from Larne on the north east coast. Here we discovered there was nothing much to see so we went down into Larne itself. Here we found yet another information place that sent us back out 3.5 mile to a council run camping site called Carnfunnock Country Park. the place was a park to, 191 hectares of it. The area we stayed in ...
Belfast, Ireland
It is such a different feel over here in northern Belfast and you can tell right when you get to the city! We got to our hostel and two girls from Australia who we met two hostels ago just happened to be here, so we had drinks with them and went to a really cool pub called mcnastys. They had a live band and if you kept walking you come outside with fires to keep you warm! There's an upstairs and a club in it as well! We decided to ...
Relaxing, Lunch, and Family
... Coke Float; while Kara and Valerie had the Ulster Fry and tea (egg, bacon, sausage, potato bread, pancake, soda bread). It was all very delicious.
From there we visited the graves of Kara's great grandparents, and a few other graves of extended relatives on her grandmothers side. Then we retired back to the house for the afternoon to ...
Jet Setting Again
... again for the half hour flight over to Belfast City Airport. At the airport we grabbed our Renault Fluence rental car and I began the fun of learning to drive on the left side of the road!
It's a strange experience at first as everything is backwards from the side you sit on to the hand you change the gear shift to the way you grab your seat belt. After a few anxious moments in the beginning it started to feel more natural. The drive from Belfast ...

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.

I went to ABC warehouse on 28th St in Grand Rapids MI to buy a refrigerator because they offered no credit check financing. Through Progressive Finance. The salesperson told me my payments would be about $75.00 a month. Imagine my surprise two weeks later when I get the information from Progressive saying my payments are going to be $146.00 a month. I tried to cancel this lease to own agreement with Progressive and they will only cancel if ABC Warehouse allows returns and the do not so now I am stuck with payments that I can't afford. DO NOT deal with this store!!!

Female U.S. war vets are finding help for their post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) far from home.
Thanks to a pioneering program, they've gone to Israel — and speak of a "common bond" shared with their Israeli counterparts.
"I came with the goal that I needed to meet people that I could talk to," said Kamilla Miguel, who was only 17 when she enlisted in 2007 on the advice of her grandmother.
She returned from Afghanistan aged only 22 but drifted, avoided her family, turned to alcohol and hung out with the wrong crowd.
"Anyone can go to a shrink, but my shrink didn't serve, what is she going to know, does she really understand what I'm going through?" Miguel explained.
Heroes to Heroes, a New Jersey-based nonprofit, organizes trips designed to provide emotional and spiritual healing for groups of 10 vets to meet Israeli counterparts suffering from similar problems.
Miguel, 27, recently returned from one such trips, which included visiting the Beit Halochem — 'House of Warriors' — rehabilitation center in Tel Aviv, which supports wounded veterans of the Israeli Defense Forces.
Tour members were offered the chance to be baptized in the River Jordan and plant trees in memory of fallen warriors.
Miguel said she was impressed by the supportive bond shared by the former IDF women.
"Man, I wish all of us had that in the States, not just this little group," she said. "I mean — all the women in the U.S. should feel how they feel with each other, with this common bond and connection, it's amazing."
Heroes to Heroes, which is nondenominational, was established by Judy Schaeffer, the daughter of a World War II veteran. Schaeffer said she felt she "had to do something to help" after visiting wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in 2009.
Schaeffer said she recalled the "spiritual power" of the Holy Land in her own life during a teenage visit to Jerusalem and launched Heroes to Heroes to see if the lives of others could also be transformed.

Previous Challenge Entry
Topic: Reward (09/27/04)
TITLE: God's Smiley Face
By Al Boyce
12-year-old Richie kicked up puffs of sand as he sprinted toward the icy black ocean, veering away after a brief splash in the shallows. Then he slowed to a beach-combers' pace and traipsed along the seaweed that marked the tide's highest mark.
On Maine beaches, the most sought-after prize in those days was a sand dollar, the polished gray shell of a creature that clings in life to craggy rocks revealed amid the crashing surf at low tide. Often, Richie had gleefully bent over the edge of one peering from the sand, only to pull up a fragment -- another victim of the murmuring waves.
So today, he approached the coin-shaped object in his path with healthy skepticism. Even seeing what looked like a whole sand dollar from above, Richie kept his hopes in check, knowing the bottom could be smashed or chipped.
He carefully picked up his prize and turned it over. Miraculously, it was intact! Smiling broadly, Richie skipped a few paces, then started meandering toward a nearby inlet.
Ahead of him he could see two more beach-combers -- a mother and son perhaps -- studiously examining the water's edge. As he drew closer he could hear the boy, who looked to be 5 or 6.
"We've never going to find one," the boy said. "And it's our last day."
"We just have to be patient and keep looking," the woman said. "There just aren't as many sand dollars as there used to be when I was a girl."
Richie looked at the boy's face and had a funny thought -- well, funny to him anyway. He thought maybe that boy would appreciate his sand dollar more than Richie would himself. Then he had an even funnier thought -- that the boy would appreciate it the most if he found it himself.
Richie continued walking until he was well past the pair, then started jogging up into the deep sand near the shingled beach houses well above the water line. He turned back, still jogging, until he was again well ahead of the boy and his mom, then cruised back to the water.
It was pretty easy to position the sand dollar -- just half of it showing -- in the boy's path. Then Richie accelerated back to the dunes to watch.
In a few minutes, he was rewarded by the boy's exultant shout and saw him waving the sand dollar for his equally thrilled mother to admire.
Years went by, and Richie received many awards -- from smiley faces on papers to cash bonuses at work to appreciative plaques from charitable organizations.
The papers were long gone; the cash long spent. The plaques gathered dust in his closet. But he could still count on the memory of that long ago day in Maine to bring a smile to his lips and, perhaps, to God's as well.
For in that one pristine moment, Richie had risen above himself. He'd resisted the urge to keep the sand dollar. He'd resisted the urge to present the sand dollar to the boy and bask in his thanks. And to this day, he'd resisted telling anyone -- even his own mother -- about the incident.
"Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them," the Bible warns in Matthew 6:1-4.
When we give to the needy, or pray, or fast, we shouldn't be seeking recognition from men, but from God.
"... Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."

This is easier to make than normal apple pies.
I had lots of leftover apples, so I tried making this!!
If you are making apple filling, don't cut up the apples too finely. In Step 2, slice the apples thinly!!Omit the cinnamon if you don't like it.

"Our agency-of-record clients have been asking for help in dramatizing their brand promises. Yuri's experience with mobile apps, digital strategy and customer engagement will inspire his team to help our expanding roster of global brands grow their businesses." Salnikoff proved early on in his career that he was a creative thinker who thrived in complex, challenging environments. As a product manager at Colgate-Palmolive, he grew the category-changing Softsoap and Total toothpaste brands. At MCI Telecommunications, he launched a targeted marketing campaign to Japanese clients and helped bring MCI to a new market.

Selected poetry of Ahmed Faraz recited in his own voice. Ahmed Faraz, born Syed Ahmed Shah, was one of the most acclaimed modern Urdu Poets of the last century. Faraz was his pseudonym or 'takhallus'. Faraz, who has been compared with Faiz Ahmed Faiz, holds a unique position as one of the best poets of current times, with a fine but simple style of writting.
Faraz studied Urdu at the Peshawar University and later began teaching there. Outspoken about politics, he went into self-imposed exile during the Zial-Ul Haq era after he was arrested for reciting poems at a Mushaira criticizing the millitary rule. He stayed for six years in Britain, Canada and Europe before returning to Pakistan, where he was initially appointed Chairman Academy of Letter and later chairperon of the Islamabad based National Book Foundation for several years.
He was awarded the Hilal-e-Imtiaz in 2004, in recognition of his literary achievements. He returned the award in 2006 after becoming disenchanted with the Pakistan governmemt and its policies.

Why is it that when you most need to freshen up, you don't have a sink or washcloth handy? These one-time wipes are made for cleansing on the go. They don't just provide a little soothing relief—they also exfoliate, cleanse, tone, and hydrate when your usual routine is miles away.
1st I will say these maybe a lil pricey for the amt you get, but if were talkin about the product itself.. AMAZING.. there individual so theres no drying out if your jar isnt closed, great to throw in gym bag, car, where ever for a much needed freshing up... the cloth is quite large, the smell is light and clean, not harsh alcohol smell and if these get a lil close to your eye... dont worry you wont even notice. these are a great extra edition to your grooming habits, not a necessity but still a great product..5
I LOVE these wipes. I bought them as an evening make-up remover/before bed cleanse. I admit it, I'm lazy when it's bedtime and don't always do the full routine for washing and toning and all that, so I always get make-up wipes for extra lazy nights. These wipes make me not want to bother with any other evening cleansing routine. They smell great, remove all of the make-up, and my skin feels so fresh and clean. They even seem to fight the acne break-outs I get when Flo visits. I'll tell you, when I say I like the smell, that's a massive understatement. It has such a great, fresh smell that's neutral enough my husband could use these as well. I think they're even advertised as a product for men, but that won't stop me and shouldn't stop you from trying this amazing product. You won't regret it.5
Another product I had to splurge & buy for myself. They're very convenient especially on hot days to make your face & neck feel clean & refreshed. Sometimes I even use them before I wash my face at night for an extra clean feeling. Sometimes I use them & skip washing my face before bed & haven't had any problems with breakouts.5
I bought these for my husband since he always complains his bald head gets oily but is against 'products'. I figured a wipe is easy enough for him to use so I got them for his birthday. He loves the smell and his skin feels great with significantly less oil throughout the day. He actually asks me about other products all the time now5

Red Leg Spiced Rum Reviews
Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes by Michael W.
Nose: Strong vanilla notes with caramel and spice. Quite cake-y (it's a word!)
Palate: Silky texture. The vanilla note is quickly subdued by strong spice but as the spice mellows out the vanilla creeps back. Quite rich, cake-y flavours. The texture becomes quite silky towards the end, very moreish. A definite keep-out-of-reach drink... Second visit, the spice is ever-present and the vanilla starts to find its footing, sticking around throughout the experience.
Finish: Medium-short with subtle vanilla notes. Spicy towards the finish.
Comments: Sweet and strong. Makes me want to camp out in the cake section of my local supermarket.

Sweet smooth Vannila taste at first finished of with a very slight warm spivey finish. This could be my new favourite!
Good, but Kraken is better.
I was expecting this to be good from the reviews on here and from other recommendations, and I wasn't disappointed. Has quickly become my prefferred Rum :)
Hmm, I was expecting great things judging from the previous reviews, but I was pretty disappointed. It's not high on the spices and tastes a lot more like a regular rum than I'd like. Definitely not in the same league as old recipe Sailor Jerry. I'd say it's similar to The Kraken, in that there is a distinct aftertaste of alcoholic bitterness, kind of like an artificial chemical taste. If you like rich, flavoursome spiced rums, go for my favourites: Rebellion or Chairmans Reserve.
Scored very well in a blind tasting. Sweet vanilla on the nose, gentle vanilla and ginger taste. Not an overtly spicy spiced rum. Good with coke, too.
Smooth and delicious, I'm on my sixth bottle since Christmas as everbody keeps pinching it! Just on it's own or on ice is best, it's just too good as it is to add anything to it, perfect.
Theres a really nice flavour to this rum - I wish I had discovered it sooner! 10/10
Really nice flavour to this run
A brilliant rum. Very special. Give it a try. You will not regret it.
Vanilla and milk chocolate. Very silky with enough spice to balance, the finest spiced rum there is.
Amazing rum! I used Elizabeth Wilson''s cocktail recipe from below with some slight altercations (caramel syrup instead of cinnamon gomme & 50/50 apple juice and rum then top up with ginger beer) Also I had it cold and it was amazing. Made it at a festival and all those around me loved it too! Thank you TWE & Elizabeth Wilson :) Top Rum!!
Tried this rum at work in the early hours, went home and ordered a bottle. Do I have a drink problem ! Lovely tasting Rum with a warm aftertaste best drunk neat in my opinion. Don''t think when it arrives it will last very long.
Fantastic spiced rum, full of flavour vanilla,ginger,smooth as silk every rum fan should try it....
A great spiced rum - can now understand why it recently won a Gold Medal - lovely drink that I can highly recommend
Got this as a present from my bro. We were big fans of the origanal sailor jerry!, This is as good if not better very happy.
Excellent spiced rum. Vanilla then Ginger. Very smooth and not too sweet like some others. Oh and moooorish....
a great rum fantastic will buy another bottle or two great with ice
Omg this rum is amazing... Got a bottle for Christmas, it's nearly done! Very nice :)
Bought this at the Ideal Christmas Home Show in London for my dad for Christmas, they had a tasting stall and served it in a variety of ways. The one i enjoyed the most was called Hot Rum Slap, you heat up half apple juice, half ginger beer, add 15ml cinnamon gomme and 25ml of the Red Leg Rum, fantastic!
Bought this on a whim on a trip to Glasgow. Very, very nice indeed and the tasting notes review above is spot on the money, although I found it more reminiscent of ginger crunch creams than cake. Very moreish indeed. Try it - you'll love it!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add/remove someone from a business loan?
In order to add or remove an individual from a business loan the credit union would have to agree to refinance or modify the loan in the name of the new qualifying guarantor/borrower.
How long does it take to set up a commercial loan?
The process can take from as little as two weeks to 45 days or more, for more complex credits. A great deal depends upon how quickly you deliver your financial disclosure package to the credit union, and how rapidly we receive third party reports, such as appraisals or environmental reports. But rest assured we strive to get you the financing your business needs as rapidly as possible.
Do you offer loans for start ups?
We do not offer start up loans at this time, but we do offer loans on other collateral one can use to help fund the startup of a new business. The one exception to this might be if the start-up loan request was strongly guaranteed and secured by collateral of unquestioned value.
What if the property value goes up during the life of the loan/line of credit, can my loan/line of credit amount automatically increase?
No, it does not automatically increase. However we would be happy to look at the value of refinancing the loan to be able to utilize the increased equity.
Do you do commercial loans on rentals that are manufactured homes or mobile homes?
Yes on manufactured homes built after 1974 that are affixed to a permanent foundation.
What if the property is unfinished or needs work?
We are able to do loans according to an as is value or as completed value. A holdback of funds would be placed on the amount of work to be completed if the loan amount was for the value as completed.

In the short term, of course, they will be more concerned about saving this year's holiday. Tour operators such as Thomson's Holidays are waiving cancellation penalties for anyone currently booked on a Malaysian holiday who doesn't want a sulphurous smog to come between them and their suntan.
This isn't just an outbreak of mass hysteria, by the way. The smog has apparently been so bad that flights have been diverted from Phuket, the sparkling jewel in Thailand's crown, because of poor visibility. Even Bali, the ultimate "island paradise", is not entirely in the clear.
So is this an irredeemable nightmare? Well, yes - except that the apocalyptic symbolism is so perfect that the world cannot fail to notice it.
Until now, the whole point of going to places like Malaysia was to escape the smoggy grey cities of the industrial north. White beaches, turquoise waters and lush palm trees were the perfect antidote to industry, pollution and acid rain. Now though, while Indonesian peasants stumble blindly towards ecological suicide, a cloud is literally forming over the holiday playgrounds of the rich. In a grotesquely superb irony, the so-called paradise of the brochures is turning into an inferno.
You can see it now: holiday-makers on beaches sitting up in horror as great grey palls of sooty smoke plunge their brochure-world into the tropical equivalent of an east London housing estate, while bright yellow parakeets fade to ash and carefully chosen swimwear becomes instantaneously redundant.
What I am getting at is that this particular "pollution incident" is far more likely to affect the people whose salaries matter than any number of distant ecological disasters. Life-threatening levels of smog do not, for example, concern many people when they are confined to industrial cities in Manchuria and Siberia. But when they suddenly envelope the places where people want to take their holidays, something urgent obviously needs to be done.
What could better drive home the message that something is wrong with our world, than exhaust fumes with our satay? Or sooty beaches, drooping palm trees? What more vividly real nightmare could there be? Children coming home from the Seychelles with raised levels of lead in their blood? Acid rain turning the Bahamas brown? The Antarctic turning black?
There is a good chance that the current smog will all be over very quickly. I was told by Phillip Brown of the PA weather centre that it is nothing that won't be blown away by a bit of wind or rain. If a bit of wind or rain turns up, that is.
But this is a long-term problem. Perhaps in the future there will be another smog that will persist for years. Some predict that even the current smog could last a few months. Will Southeast Asia just get written off as last year's one-holiday wonder? Will world tourism simply move on to the next playground, before it too falls prey to pollution?
Surely not. I suspect that when rainforest destruction starts hitting our holidays the penny may begin to drop, and the prospect of something like a global holiday tax may suddenly seem rather desirable. How about an environmental tax, to be levied on holidays in parts of the world that need it? After all, what is the price of paradise? Tourists looking to buy bits of it can hardly complain at having to contribute to the relatively trivial costs of preserving the rainforests of Sumatra.
You can blame the disaster on El Nino, you can blame it on the Indonesian government, you can blame it on the excessive world demand for palm oil and rubber. You can even blame it on the illiterate peasants whose livelihood comes from setting fire to forests. But global tourism, the world's biggest industry, is in by far the best position to do something about it.
