Avenue Montaigne Vacation Packages
Many of Paris's key attractions can be found within easy driving distance of Avenue Montaigne, so it is a great place to base yourself while you are in town. The Palais des Congres de Paris and Espace Champerret are amongst the many popular destinations in the area. Two other recommended attractions you'll find nearby Avenue Montaigne are the Maison de la Radio and the Statue of Liberty - Paris.
The Eiffel Tower, perhaps one of the most recognized attractions in the entire country is less than 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) to the southwest.
Discover the Arc de Triomphe and Louvre Museum and see more of Paris's city center.
Holiday makers in Avenue Montaigne, looking for something different, will love the cultural attractions nearby. Walk through the exhibits and enjoy the atmosphere of the Musee Nissim de Camondo, Orangerie Museum and the Musee du Luxembourg. To experience Paris's vibrant arts scene, book a show at one of the popular performing arts institutes such as Lido, Paris Opera and Folies Bergere. There are a number of excellent art galleries to visit including the Paris Museum of Modern Art.
If the sun is shining head outside and appreciate the nearby parks and reserves. Enjoy the local flora and fauna, throw a frisbee, or just enjoy the fresh air at Parc Monceau and Tuileries Garden.
To really get a feel for the area, don't miss some of the local sights such as Palais Royal, Place Vendome and the Pont des Arts. These are popular with travellers from all over the world. For a relaxing change of pace, spend a little time at the area's holy places, such as Eglise Saint-Eustache, the Church of Saint Germain l'Auxerrois and Saint-Roch Church.
If you like to grab a bargain, browse Galeries Lafayette, the Le Bon Marche and the Printemps Department Store.
After a long day enjoying Avenue Montaigne, rest up at one of the area's hotels or serviced apartments. Take your pick from the Mercure Paris Centre Tour Eiffel, the Concorde Opéra Paris, or the L'Hotel du Collectionneur Arc de Triomphe.

Infographic: 5 Ways to Build a $100 Million SaaS Business
To pick the customer acquisition channels that you're going to focus on, work backwards from your customer. Start with this fundamental principle: Make it easy for your customer to buy your service. Behind that, align your customer acquisition, pricing, and growth strategies.
The Point Nine Capital team put together this infographic that provides a great framework for thinking about this alignment in the context of building a big, $100 million ARR business. It starts with the customer type—what it calls an animal—and asks, "What animals are you hunting?"
A common trajectory for self-serve SaaS is that they head upmarket to find growth. That means transitioning from hunting mice or rabbits up to deer or elephants. This framework will help you think about what changing your targeted customer means for evolving your entire strategy and organization.
🚀 SaaS Weekly Reader Survey
I started this newsletter to help SaaS founders and team members learn and grow. Based on previous feedback from you, I've made a few changes to improve SaaS Weekly and give you more of what you want:
- Included one featured article to make Weekly more digestible
- Added commentary to share how the articles affect my own thinking
- Put images in to make the email more visually appealing
Have those changes been good or bad? What can I do to make this email more useful to you? This survey won't take more than 5 minutes of your time, and will go a long way toward making SaaS Weekly even better for you.
MailChimp and the Un-Silicon Valley Way to Make It as a Start-Up
MailChimp will generate $400 million in revenue in 2016 without a single outside investor. Assuming 70% margins, founders Ben Chestnut and Dan Kurzius will take $280 million, add some dry powder to the company's coffers, give out bonuses to the team, and split the rest between the two of them. Sounds like they're doing just fine without VC money!
The Hive is the New Network
The fastest growing SaaS companies today like Slack and GitHub don't just make one person or one department more productive, they increase interaction and productivity for everyone in a company. According to Arjun Sethi at Social Capital, what these tools are helping us do is to work together, just like bees in a hive.
Roadmaps: A product team's friend or foe?
You should think critically about your SaaS product's roadmap. Consider scrapping the way that you do it and try something totally different. Often, product roadmaps represent commitments that shouldn't be kept. Hannah Chaplin of Receptive shares five major changes you can make to how you roadmap your product to center it around what's really best for your customers.
The 5 Important Metrics of Facebook Ad Campaigns
Your paid acquisition campaigns via Facebook Ads, Google AdWords or any other paid channel need to have positive ROI. With Facebook Ads, likes, reach, and even views and clicks are all distracting vanity metrics. Here are the five metrics you need to track so you can create successful Facebook campaigns.
Sales vs Marketing: How Hubstaff Built a Million Dollar Business Without Selling
Dave Nevogt of Hubstaff shares how they grew from $0 to $1.3M in annual recurring revenue without doing any traditional sales. They focused on inbound marketing and grew SaaS subscription revenue by doing these five things right.
Examining the Sales Efficiency of Public SaaS Companies
Offering a great self-service product, generating word-of-mouth via excellent customer service and building a strong brand via content marketing will help you build an efficient sales organization. You'll have fast CAC payback periods, which means you can grow faster using less capital. Alex Clayton of Spark Capital benchmarks the sales efficiency of 20 public SaaS businesses and analyzes what causes the top companies to outperform the rest.
No wait, of course THAT is the single most important SaaS metric
Don't listen when people tell you there's one "single most important SaaS metric." What your company needs to focus on is highly contextual and depends on your company's stage, circumstance, culture and goals. As Jason Cohen of WP Engine puts it, what's important is "figuring out what's most important right now" and then simplifying that into a few key metrics your team can get aligned on.

The Recovery Is Possible (RIP) Linux rescue system is available in its newest version 6.6. A related web forum enables discussion among developers and users.
The new RIP release incorporates a version of the GParted partition editor released only days ago. The Gnome application should speed up copying and moving partitions. Moreover, it also supports the Mac HFS+ file system.
RIP 6.6 includes the WLAN driver Ath9k for draft 802.11n chipsets from Atheros, as well as drivers for the ACX100 and ACX111 wireless chips from Texas Instruments.
Meanwhile, RIP developer Kent Robotti started a RIP Linux forum that includes tips on how to extend the distribution to further applications.
RIP is a Linux Live distribution based on Slackware, primarily used for data maintenance and recovery. It provides support for a variety of hardware and file systems, including the ext family, ReiserFS and Reiser4, UDF, HFS, HPFS and NTFS. It is bootable from CD or USB external drive. ISO images are available for download from the project homepage, including the mkusb.sh script for USB flash drive partition installations and a variant for PXE networks. Linux requires a minimum 256 MByte RAM and a Pentium CPU. The kernel is available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

I love Threadless, a lot. Threadless (just in case you missed them) is a community site where people can submit designs for t-shirts and vote for them. Winning designs get produced, the winner gets $2500 and everyone else gets to buy fun, funny and creative T-shirts.
So, Exactly how much do I love Threadless? To the right you can see a
picture of most of the Threadless t-shirts I own. There are about 50 in
that picture (taken in Amsterdam, where I live) and there are more in
Eindhoven (where I also live).
Indeed Threadless has a lot to do with why I came to work for Shapeways. What Threadless is for T-shirts, Shapeways will be for all other stuff. Which is what makes what happened to me the other day quite interesting indeed.
A friend of mine lives in Chang Mei, Thailand and was in Amsterdam to visit his family and friends. As a present he brought me a T-shirt. He talked about markets in Chang Mei where you could get the funniest shirts for next to nothing and gave me one that combined my love of reading for my love of cool t-shirts.
I can be an idiot at times and was so immediately after he gave it: exclaiming in short order that not only did my girlfriend have the very same shirt but that it was a Threadless shirt, making it abundantly clear to everyone that his gift was pirated. This was a complete surprise to him, and just one more incident of me ruining something by blurting out what I'm thinking. To the right you can see both t-shirts side by side, with the Threadless shirt on the left and the Thailand one on the right. You can see the shirt on Threadless here.
This incident has many far reaching and interesting implications for communities such as Threadless and Shapeways as well as the future of "peer production", mass customization and intellectual property in general and is interesting to me for 9 reasons:
1. Usually pirated materials are bought with the buyer knowing fully
well that it is pirated, ie "look there is a Puma logo on those $10
My friend was unaware that the shirt was in fact
copyright infringement. He just saw a fun shirt that was perfect for
his t-shirt mad friend and bought it.
2. Usually it is the big brands, the recognizable brands names and logos
that are copied, indeed the element of brand recognition is the reason
why the person buys the pirated item. ie "A Louis Vuitton bag for $15,
wow, this is my chance to prentend that I own one."
In this case the
Threadless logo does not appear anywhere on the T-shirt. This pirated
shirt stole the designers idea and used the idea and the attractiveness
of the design an sich to sell the item.
Usually copyright infringement happens precisely because a product is
expensive. "What $700 for Windows? That's like a month's rent. I'll
download it instead"
Threadless T-shirts are from $5(on sale)
to $15, without shipping, so are very affordable. I'm not sure how much
he paid for the T-shirt and knowing South East Asia it might have been
cheaper, lets say between $2-$5. But, all the above price points are
very cheap and should be well within the means of an average developed
nation consumer.
4. Usually piracy happens to big "boring" companies who are refusing to abandon their old broken business models.
Threadless is a hip "new" internet business with an even "hipper" business model revolving around co-creation and community.
Usually piracy happens to big billion dollar businesses or
multimillionaire recording artists who could cry all they want from
their private jets and personalized basketball courts but can not
really count on much sympathy from the general public. In this case the
victims were Threadless and Josh Kemble, the designer.
Although Threadless has revenues of $30,000,000 it should be able to garner more sympathy than the truly huge companies (check out how Google now returns the result to the query 'Threadless revenue" by the way).
And Josh Kemble
who is a freelance illustrator, born in "a small speck of dirt in
California" and working on a graphic novel is someone I feel instantly
sympathetic towards. I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a 24 carat gold
dome above his bed, yet, anyway.
6. The prated Threadless
shirt example above really puts "power internet users" in a bit of a
bind. Usually the RIAA, DRM, copyright protection companies and closed
source software companies are the bad guys. Intelectual Property(IP) and copyright in general
is seen as the "old way" and a mark of evil boring companies who do
not get the internet and want to monopolize. To them downloading a movie
from the Pirate Bay can be seen as defiance in some way.
In this
example the Intellectual Property rights are represented by Josh Kemble,
who with his creativity and skill makes his money using an internet
business. Good IP protection in this case would seem to be neccessary
in order to usher in a new era on the internet whereby many more people
than is now the case could make their money directly from the net
itself. IP in this case would seem to be much more of a neccessity in
propping up the little guy rather than a tool of the large corporates.
7. Threadless makes money off of the ideas, IP and skill of Josh and
all the other contributors to Threadless. When you upload to Threadless
your IP becomes the property of Threadless(Shapeways
is different: your designs will always remain your IP when you upload
them to Shapeways). I would assume that they strive to protect this IP
(as we strive to protect Shapeways users' IP) but how much can an
online business do against some guys on a market in Thailand? Indeed a forum question on Threadless pointed me towards a picture gallery from the Glastonbury festival in 2007
where several pirated Threadless T-shirts where on sale(making me feel
kind of daft for writing this huge post about what I thought was a unique
8. There would seem to be a huge business
opportunity here for an online business that would effectively protect
the intellectual property rights of small businesses and freelancers
9. We need to, as Shapeways, keep listening to our community directly as to how they view their IP and want to protect it. We need to also join the IP debate with other companies, people and groups. We need to be a part of it in order to make sure that people such as Josh Kemble can protect their IP and can continue to make money online. At the same time we have to guard against companies that abuse IP legislation in order to stifle innovation. The thin line of IP is going to be challenging to walk on.

By Dan Balz
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, September 21, 2008
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 20 -- An article about health care published in an obscure journal led to a new skirmish Saturday between the campaigns of Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain over who should be trusted with the ailing economy.
The article, which appeared under Sen. McCain's name, included a favorable reference to banking deregulation that, in light of this week's near-meltdown in the financial industry, provided an irresistible target for Sen. Obama's campaign and once again put McCain on the defensive. McCain's campaign accused Obama of manufacturing an attack by deliberately misreading the Republican's words.
The article was published in Contingencies magazine, which is produced under the auspices of the American Academy of Actuaries. In it, McCain touted his plans for increasing competition in health care as one way to expand coverage and reduce costs.
McCain wrote, "Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation."
Obama, appearing at Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Fla., mocked his rival for sounding out of touch at a time when Washington is moving rapidly to re-regulate the financial industry to curb the excesses that put the system into near-paralysis in the past week.
"So let me get this straight -- he wants to run health care like they've been running Wall Street," Obama told the audience. "Well, Senator, I know some folks on Main Street who aren't going to think that's such a good idea."
The Obama campaign first learned of the McCain article when New York Times columnist Paul Krugman referenced it Friday night on his blog. Since then, officials in the campaign have spread its contents as quickly as possible.
McCain's campaign, caught off guard by the uproar caused by the article, called the criticism from Obama a red herring. What McCain was referring to, one of his advisers said, was the change in regulations that allowed banks to operate across state lines, thereby opening up more competition while providing easier access to services for consumers.
"This is absurd," McCain senior economics adviser Doug Holtz-Eakin wrote in an e-mail sent to reporters. "If Barack Obama thinks that today's financial troubles were caused by policies which allowed Americans to use an ATM anywhere in this country, then it is better that he continue to be silent about solutions to the crisis on Wall Street. That crisis arose from corruption and regulators asleep at the switch. It's also possible Senator Obama is simply a dishonest politician who will say anything to get himself elected and just isn't ready to be President."
Coming only a few days after McCain had defended the economy as "fundamentally strong" as the stock markets were plunging last Monday, however, this latest episode underscored anew the extent to which the economic crisis has put McCain on the defensive.
McCain moved immediately to deal with his comment about the economy's fundamental soundness, and over the next several days he pushed an increasingly populist message that emphasized the tough times Americans are facing and called for cracking down on corruption and greed on Wall Street.
Obama unloaded on McCain during appearances Saturday. He fired back at McCain for running ads linking him to former top executives of Fannie Mae, James A. Johnson and Franklin Raines. Johnson briefly headed up Obama's vice presidential search team but stepped aside when controversy arose over his role at Fannie Mae. Raines recently settled with the government after being tagged in a huge financial scandal at the mortgage financing institution.
Obama said he had met Raines only once and talked to him for about five minutes, denying that Raines played any real role in the campaign. Raines issued a statement this week saying he had not been an adviser to the campaign.
Instead, Obama cited comments by the former head of Fannie Mae's government relations office, who was quoted by Politico.com as saying, "When I see photographs of Sen. McCain's staff, it looks to me like the team of lobbyists who used to report to me."
"Folks," Obama told his audience in Daytona Beach, "you can't make this stuff up."
With millions of Americans worrying about their retirement security as federal officials rushed to stabilize the shaky financial system, Obama also seized on McCain's support for partial privatization of Social Security. He said McCain was prepared to gamble with people's life savings.
"If my opponent had his way, the millions of Floridians who rely on it would've had their Social Security tied up in the stock market this week," he said. "Millions would've watched as the market tumbled and their nest egg disappeared before their eyes. Millions of families would've been scrambling to figure out how to give their mothers and fathers, their grandmothers and grandfathers, the secure retirement that every American deserves."
The statement appeared to be a substantial exaggeration, and the McCain campaign quickly fired back.
McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds accused Obama of not telling the truth.
"John McCain is 100 percent committed to preserving Social Security benefits for seniors, and Barack Obama knows it," he said in an e-mail sent out while Obama was speaking. "This is a desperate attempt to gain political advantage using scare tactics and deceit."
Bounds pointed out that Obama has expressed support for government support for private accounts that would be an accompaniment to Social Security and said the senator's remarks were "a perfect demonstration of his willingness to ignore facts in favor of his own self-promotion."

Lugging my duffel into school Friday, I felt like a total idiot. It contained exactly one pair of Pennington Tennis 2011 sweatpants, one Haddonfield Field Hockey t-shirt, two German romantic comedies, one copy of Forrest Gump, and two chocolate Santas left over from Christmas. Yet somehow, it felt so much heavier. Maybe because it carried with it an unsaid goodbye.
When my classes were over for the day, I hopped on the bus to Spandau and waited for my best friend on the stairs of the town hall. Soon, I couldn't feel my fingers. Just one more part of me that felt numb.
I walked to the nearest bakery and bought a hot chocolate, waiting for her. Slowly sipping, I sat in front of the main window, watching those walking past. Questions of what they were doing and where they were going never crossed my mind, unlike my normal pondering. I just felt too sad.
I managed to keep a smile on my face through our last dinner at the cheap little Italian restaurant in Charlottenburg, and laughed when we both botched up the pronunciation of our orders. And when we had to go back to her house, I tried to block out the goodbyes in my head, trying to make everything normal again.
I took the shoes and clothes that she couldn't fit in her suitcase, and wore the jacket she gave me when we went to the grocery store. We wanted to pick up a carton of ice cream for our movie marathon. We started running when she saw someone she knew, as we were makeup-less and in pajamas at 7 PM on a Saturday night. Collapsing in giggles when we got up to the cashier, we made self deprecating jokes about our lack of a social life.
Walking outside, the black turned into white with the heaviness of the snowfall. We ran home with our tongues out to catch the flakes, as this would be the last time she'd see snow in a while. The cars drove past, and probably made fun of the weirdos they saw running in the middle of the street.
The intent of packing faded once the ice cream was opened. We started watching the first movie, giggling and gossiping and eating ice cream as it played through. The hours flew by, and suddenly we heard her host father knocking on the door. He peeked his head in and said, "It is not lovely how the two of you are making noise. Please go to bed", in English although we are almost fluent in German. It was too early on her last night here, and we both went to bed upset because with each tick of the clock, we were losing time.
At 8 o'clock, the alarm woke us up and we finally finished packing. She quickly skyped with her parents and asked them what to do with her winter jacket. She wouldn't need it when she got home, and it took a lot of space up. However, we managed to fit it in her suitcase. With two hours to go, we weighed everything using the family scale. As always, the number was higher than what was wanted. The sweater was taken out first. And then the Uggs. And then the heels. One by one, we got the suitcase down to 23 kilograms, with ten minutes left on the clock.
Her host brother stood and watched as the car was being loaded. He gave her an awkward hug goodbye, as he did not want to go to the airport with us. We shut the trunk door and opened the driveway gates.
I managed to keep my eyes dry until we sat in the car. All of a sudden, we both started crying. We passed the mall where we went shopping every Monday, and then the train station where we always met. We then started bawling. I couldn't find a positive twist to the situation.
Reaching the airport, I grabbed my duffel and the bags of clothes and shoes she gave me. She took her backpack and carry on, and her host dad carried her suitcase. We walked into Terminal 1, and went to find the Lufthansa counter. Two others were flying 'home' with her, and many were there to say goodbye. As soon as she spotted the crowd, she turned the other way and tried to leave. But she was coaxed back, and through sobs and tears, she let her suitcase be weighed and her passport be scanned. The host mom explained the situation to the employee, and he took pity on her.
Turning around, she hugged everyone goodbye, and I stood there idly by. Another exchange student came over and tried to comfort me, as she had said goodbye to her best friend the week before and empathized with me. At points, I was crying harder than my best friend. She had the comfort of seeing her parents in two days.
Photos were taken, more tears were shed. Finally, after one of the most painful hours of my life, she was led by an employee to the security gate, as she wouldn't go. The two others flying with her came shortly after, and suddenly all was quiet. They were gone. Just like that.
With no idea of when I would see her again, I boarded the bus home. I had no more tears to shed. I was exhausted.
I barely cried on that last Monday in July, as I parted with my family. The guarantee of my return in 11 months was my comfort.
I had no comfort this time. Melbourne is too far away.
As she waited for her connecting flight at Frankfurt International, she sent me a quick text, which made me cry harder. We made such a strong connection, even though we had known each other for a short four months. The phrase 'right place, right time' is thrown around a lot, but here it made sense. Being exchange students, we went through struggles and successes totally unique to anyone but us. We laughed about things only we would understand, and had a stronger friendship than those who have known each other since kindergarten.
When she walked through the gate, she ended the journey that had brought us together, and I think that's what hurt the most.

NORTH LIBERTY– At Ledi, everyone's family.
At least, that's what co-owners Tammy Mowder and Ikmet Rushiti had in mind when opening the restaurant in May at the former Brown Bottle location in Beaver Kreek Center.
"That's the type of place we want to be, where everybody knows your name," said Mowder. "We're getting there."
The old-fashioned American diner is a far cry from the dimly-lit, Italian-style restaurant Brown Bottle customers remember, but Mowder promised equally-satisfying dishes from the new joint.
CEDAR FALLS– Solon Spartan Trapshooting competed in statewide shoots for the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) championships in Cedar Falls June 7-11.
Solon's Nicole Breese captured first place in the American Trap High All-Around (Singles, Doubles, Handicap) Ladies division and the team qualified for the national 2017 Scholastic Clay Target Program and Scholastic Action Shooting Program National Championships tournament July 8-15 in Marengo, Ohio.
SOLON– It was feast or famine for Solon's varsity baseball team.
The Spartans knocked 14 hits in an 11-1 win over Benton Community June 28, but managed only four hits total in a pair of 4-0 losses to Marion June 30.
Solon freshman Cam Miller moved to 5-0 on the season with his win against Benton Community. Miller struck out four and walked two while allowing a single earned run on six hits over four-and-two-thirds innings.
The Bobcats' lone run came in the first inning, but the Spartans knotted it up in the bottom half, and took the lead in the second with three runs.
MT. VERNON– It was stiff competition for the Solon varsity softball team.
The Lady Spartans, No. 6 in the final Class 3A rankings released July 3 by the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union, played three of their last four regular-season games against top-15 opponents in three different classes.
After splitting at home with Western Dubuque June 26, Solon traveled up Highway 1 to match up with the No. 8 (3A) Mount Vernon Mustangs June 28 and came away with a convincing 8-1 win.
Roy and Jennie Rambo of Vinton entertained with a graduation party for their son, Dalton, on Sunday, June 11, at the park in Vinton. Dalton recently graduated from Vinton-Shellsburg High School and is employed by Frazier's Nursery in Vinton. Following the graduation party David and Tina Kearns, of Shellsburg, entertained with a party in honor of their daughter, Eliza, for her fourth birthday. Family and friends attended. Dalton and Eliza are the grandchildren of Shirley Worley.
Solon Economist
SOLON– The Solon City Council will mull over an offer to purchase Johnson County's maintenance building off Highway 1 on Sutliff Road.
The city will seek an appraisal for property owned by Johnson County Secondary Roads just north of town and may consider purchasing the site for use by the Solon Public Works Department.
The potential purchase was discussed at a June 21 city council meeting.
SOLON– An organizational meeting will be held Thursday, July 13, at 6:30 p.m. in the Solon Public Library to form a steering committee to assess community interest in, and feasibility of, a dog park for the Solon community. The committee will be in charge of circulating a petition/survey to dog owners in Solon, research other area dog parks, identify potential locations and present their findings to city officials.

SOLON– The Solon City Council has given the official OK for a plan to renovate the former St. Mary auditorium into a mix of residential and commercial uses.
The site plan for Solon Lofts and Commons was approved on a 3-0 vote at a June 21 city council meeting. (Council members absent?)
But there are still some details to work out.
SOLON– On the outside of the new ice rescue suits, right in front of the heart, is the logo with Tanner Wymer's initials and the hashtag #wymerstrong.
Six of the suits were purchased for the Solon Tri-Township Emergency Response Agency by the Wymer family with the proceeds from the second annual poker run held in Tanner's honor, April 22.
There were 78 motorcycles counted during the run, the same number Tanner wore as a member of the Solon High School football team.
Dom Uhl is Iowa's only senior.
The 6-9 forward from Frankford, Germany, played in 98 games for the Hawkeyes with eight starts.
Uhl was named Newcomer of the Year as a freshman, shot a team high 45 percent from the 3-point line as a sophomore, and started seven games last season.
Iowa started four freshmen last year, finished 19-15, 9-7 in the Big Ten, and won their first game in the NIT.

The Hotels & Villas Association is pleased to welcome a new member : Villa Marie Saint-Barth
Having perfected their own signature French art de vivre with 7 luxury hotels in the French Alps and 3 more on the Mediterranean coast and in Provence, the Sibuet family set sail for new horizons, and they came across a rare treasure: a charming colonial property that dominates island and ocean in magnificent Saint Barts.
Between white sandy beaches and rocks that plunge into waters spanning fifty shades of blue, discover Villa Marie Saint-Barth, the newest crown jewel of the Maisons & Hotel Sibuet label, and the second Villa Marie (the first sister hotel is located in Saint-Tropez in France).
Villa Marie Saint-Barth
Welcome to Paradise
Overlooking the spectacular Flamands Beach, perched among the hills of Colombier, Villa Marie Saint-Barth is one of those destinations where the romance and charm are matched only by the rugged and exotic beauty of this island oasis... in the heart of a vast and verdant tropical garden, an intimate atmosphere awaits in true typical plantation style. The hotel invites endless opportunities to find one's own version of bliss.
The outdoor swimming pool, tucked in the gardens, provides cool refreshment among the explosion of exotic flowers and island plant life. The Pure Altitude Spa with its signature treatments highlights the wealth of local botanicals. As for the restaurant, François Plantation, offers sophisticated cuisine with a flourish of local colors, an epicurean's Garden of Eden.
Island decor with subtle french charm
The West Indies architectural style is a lovely blend of intermingling influences: Colonial plantation spirit to colorful ethnic Caribbean Indian flair to lasting British influence, and an underlying current of the French's elegant art de vivre and echoes of each can be found throughout Villa Marie Saint-Barth. Seashells, pink corals, vibrant flourishes, polished woods, bleached by the sun, mix with earthy décor elements, hand woven cordage and bamboo... Lush inviting outdoor living areas with clean lines, covered porches and no shortage of windows combine with the décor to offer an abundance of fresh, cheerful and understated sophistication.
The gardens, jungle fever
Throughout the property beautiful tropical gardens abound. Under the shade of giant palm fronds and banana tree leaves, cacti, mango trees and flowering bougainvillea conspire to create an intoxicating and intimate atmosphere.
Room with a view Island living
Parrot Blue, Pineapple, Hibiscus, Jungle Passion... Discover each of the aptly named 22 bungalows of which include 3 exclusive villas, adorned with subtle touches of vibrant hues of deep turquoise, bougainvillea pink, bright sky blue, and canary yellow that elegantly contrast with the whitewashed walls.
Each offers a distinct style, an effortless ease and calming ambiance in harmony with signature décor elements. Canopy beds, plush bespoke headboards, custom created furniture pieces with pearl inlays carefully crafted by artisans on the shores of the Mediterranean, vintage pieces unearthed from the far corners of the world, all contribute to the lovely boho chic ambiance. Verandas with private terraces, surrounded by exotic greenery, make guests feel as though they are on their own private island, savoring the view across the lagoon and the stunning Flamands Bay. Laidback luxury has never felt more enchanting.
François Plantation - Caribbean treasure
Well-known on the island, the restaurant, François Plantation, a nod to the hotel's epicurean past, offers sophisticated French cuisine with a flourish of local colors. Mahogany fans turn idly overhead: white linen curtains sway gently across the dark hardwood floors and the colonial decor is accented with bright pops of white and yellow, drawing the eye towards the gardens. In the kitchen, freshness and light abound on the plate...Lobster and grilled vegetables, colorful catches of the day, crisp and vibrant salads followed by sweet notes of local specialties, a coconut cream and flambéed bananas.
Rum bar & cigars
Cocktails around the plantation style bar, a punch coco, or a refreshing mojito after a day on the beach. Enjoy one of the finest selection of rums on the island for local tastings, either in the heart of the gardens surrounded by the gentle island air, or with a fine cigar in hand at our exclusive fumoir.
Sun, Spa, Serenity
A soothing after-sun treatment with restorative jasmine, a massage with the gentle perfume of neroli or a heated seashell massage ritual...The Pure Altitude Spa line immerses each guest in an ocean of well-being. Discover 2 treatment rooms, steam room, fitness room and personalized rituals that make the most of local botanicals.

text: Dorminey noted that in May the Bank completed the purchase of five Park Avenue Bank branches in Georgia. Early in the third quarter, the Bank also opened a branch in Valdosta, after attracting a seasoned and locally experienced team of commercial and retail bankers in that market. While the de novo branch in Valdosta added start-up expenses in the third quarter disproportionate to its revenues, it is seen as a strategically attractive addition to the Bank's presence in South Georgia.Speaking to asset quality, Dorminey commented, "Although we witnessed an uptick in nonperforming loans in the third quarter on a linked-quarter basis, we believe we will not exceed the top reached in the third quarter last year, as we continue to work through and aggressively write-off problem loans. However, we recognize that the risk of deteriorating credit quality remains so long as unemployment remains high and until real estate values stabilize. As a result, credit costs likely will continue at elevated levels for at least the near term." Concluding, Dorminey added, "Although it was unfortunate that we were required to write-off our intangible asset because of recent legislative action in Congress, which clearly had an adverse effect on our third quarter results, we believe the fundamentals of our operations remain strong. We have expanded our branch footprint considerably over the past year, entering several attractive new markets, and we have built on those new-market entries with follow-on organic growth in both loans and deposits. We continue to absorb new start-up costs associated with this expansion; however, we expect to see growth in these markets, which should enhance our overall future prospects for revenue and earnings growth." At the end of the third quarter of 2010, Heritage Financial Group's capital levels remained significantly above the levels required to be considered "well-capitalized" under regulatory standards – the highest capital rating category a financial institution can achieve. The Company's total risk-based capital ratio at September 30, 2010, was 14.5%, significantly exceeding the required minimum of 10% to be considered a well-capitalized institution. The ratio of tangible common equity to total tangible assets was 9.0% as of September 30, 2010 (see reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP capital measures later in this release).

text: In Islam, Shirk (polytheism) is one of the gravest sins, and cannot be forgiven until a man turns to Allah in remorse genuinely and asks His pardon. This book deals with Shirk in detail and brings forth, the various forms of Shirk that exist today among the Muslims and non-Muslims. The main aim of this book is to awaken mass awareness against the Shirk and invite them to Islamic monotheism based on the Quran and Sunnah.

We've all been attending conferences for years. Everyone is similar. We, the audience, sit in serried ranks ready to absorb the wisdom of the expert on the stage sometimes we even take notes.
It's a model that has works for aeons. But in the meantime some things have changed. Some people have realised The Wisdom of Crowds, others have realised that we learn better through active involvement rather than sitting passively.
And in that world of conferences the idea of the UNconference arose – it looks a bit different to the traditional conference. Because it is a facilitated participant-driven event. That means that there is not really an audience, instead everyone is a participant.
The last three photos in this blog post are action shots from previous Australian BarCamps (click on the photos to see where they came from). You can see clearly the different orientation of these events.
Social InnovationBarCamp is more like a gathering for people who have an interest in a particular idea or topic kickstarting a conversation with a group of people who are also interested.
At a BarCamp you can expect to do all kinds of things (so far I've talked, drawn pictures, created new businesses, made origami, made new friends, and been inspired to take action).
I encourage you to come along to the Social Innovation BarCamp ready to share your ideas, facilitate conversations, and find new people who have similar passions.
You can expect to be part of the process and part of the conversation – there are no bystanders. All are welcome.
There is no set agenda for Social Innovation BarCamp – when we arrive on the day the agenda will self-organise based on what the participants decide.
If you are interested in building a better world, care about sustainability and social innovation then come along and discover new people and new ideas.

Wildlife quarterly
Attention all you established or aspiring wildlife and botanical artists, WABA Inc, "a friendly network of professional and emerging wildlife and botanical artists based in Canberra", is holding its first quarterly meeting for the year at the Australian National Botanic Gardens next weekend. All are welcome to hear about the group and listen to guest presenter Greg Joseph, who will present a workshop on his contemporary Indigenous art methods.
For further information, email Wildlife and Botanical Artists Inc president Prue Sailor, firstname.lastname@example.com, or see waba.net.au.
Nature and memory at Beaver
Two new shows have just opened at Beaver: works by Jenny Orchard, whose recent paintings, collages and ceramics "form part of a narrative about a fictitious and parallel world in a state of change", and digital prints by Sophia Szilagyi, who creates "scenes of reinterpreted memory and experience. In her multi-layered compositions, Sophia explores the relationship between fiction and non-fiction, challenging our perceptions of realist and the effects of physical sensation and emotional response on memory."
Drifting past, by Sophia Szilagyi, and Living in the clouds, by Jenny Orchard are showing at Beaver Galleries, 81 Denison Street, Deakin, until March 1.
Avi steps down
News last week was that Avi Amesbury, Panorama cover girl and artistic director of Craft ACT is stepping down next month after seven years at the helm. She has had a prolific career in the Canberra arts sector, while maintaining her own arts practice as a ceramicist. "It has been a great honour and a privilege to be appointed to this position, and to have the opportunity to facilitate change," she said, "to work with Craft ACT board members who have the wisdom, knowledge and skills to lead the vision and put their trust in the Craft ACT team, the many partner organisations, sponsors and adviser groups and the members. It is always the team, and over the past seven years the achievements of the exemplary Craft ACT staff have changed the way people think about craft and design in a very powerful way." Good luck with the next step!
Talk Back at Tuggeranong
Printmaking dynamos Alison Alder and Bernie Slater are showing key political works this month at Tuggeranong Arts Centre. Slater's work looks at "a cultural headspace that is hard to define: disparate information, overwhelming options, conflicted thoughts. His body of work employs the artist's distinct dislike of the media's representation of current affairs and humanity's involuntary response to the media." Meanwhile, Alder's featured work, Death of a Broadsheet, explores "the relationship of historical events to personal moments. `It is a tongue-in-cheek eulogy to the many political characters who have populated my life, the changing nature of contemporary news feeds, information sharing and commentary.' " The 2015 recipient of Tuggeranong Arts Centre's Emerging Artists Award, Jess Higgins, is also showing work using "found photographs as source material, recreating this imagery through the mediums of dry-point etching and wood block relief printing and drawing. Her work depicts the modern world of violence post 9/11, and focuses on challenging the viewer with confronting imagery that is often overlooked."
Talk Back, by Bernie Slater and Alison Alder, and Black Site, by Jess Higgins, are showing until February 27 at Tuggeranong Arts Centre, 137 Reed Street, Greenway.
Warmun artists at Nancy Sever
In Kingston, Nancy Sever Gallery is showing works from the remote East Kimberley region of Western Australia – the art of "five senior Gija artists whose lives have been driven by the need to put cross-cultural communication and education into practice through art … What connects these artists is an encyclopaedic knowledge of Gija country, their skills as expert cross-cultural communicators and educators, and the desire to share their art within their own community and with audiences beyond. The paintings in this exhibition are simultaneously geographical, historical and biographical."
Women Artists from Warmun is showing until March 6 at Nancy Sever Gallery, 4/6 Kennedy Street, Kingston.
Four at M16
A great set of new shows has just opened at M16. In Undertoe, Dorte Conroy is showing photographs with "graphic glimpses of the ground plane around Hobart's waterfront and in Sydney's older areas". Emerging Afghani-Australian artist Mehdi Jaghuri has his fourth solo exhibition, Remember that Time, featuring painting, sculpture and video works that "seek to critically explore an array of social, political and cultural issues, specifically focused on his personal experiences of growing up in war-torn Afghanistan". In Touch, Corinne Beardsley explores "themes of humanity and transcendence – consist[ing] of an installation of unfired, full-bodied clay figures and video … The concept to create and sculpt unfired clay figures came from the artist's experience of working as a massage practitioner." In the photographic exhibition Dry, Caitlin Kozman "aims to challenge the perception of time and experience in regards to contemporary culture and over stimulation. Kozman explores techniques of drawing and print media inspired by street art and performance culture."
All four shows are on until February 28 at M16 Artspace, 21 Blaxland Crescent, Griffith.
Krazy German Expressionism at Megalo
This just sounds great, from the title, Krazy Kunst, on in: "From 2012 to 2013, artists Michael Bell and Menno Fahl posted numerous parcels of wood blocks to one another from their respective home towns of Newcastle (Australia) and Berlin (Germany). Each artist hand-carved an image in response to the other. These woodblocks travelled between the two countries many times before a satisfactory result was decided upon. Some woodblocks journeyed over 65,000 kilometres before being finally printed. This exhibition, Krazy Kunst (Kunst meaning art in German), features 40 multicoloured wood-block prints rich in humour and German Expressionist drama. It is the first time this work has been shown in Canberra after shows in Berlin, Lubeck, Maitland and Sydney." Can't wait!
Krazy Kunst: Collaborative Woodcuts is showing until March 5 at Megalo Print Studio and Gallery, 21 Wentworth Avenue, Kingston.
Interconnected at Form
Form in Queanbeyan is showing works by an eclectic group of six artists, all responding to the concept of connectedness. The show features works by Matthew Curtis, Pamela Honeyfield, Mel George, Megan Jacobs, Jo Hollier and Harriet Schwarzrock, and is showing until March 6 at Form Studio and Gallery, 1/30 Aurora Avenue, Queanbeyan.
Twisted Valentine
Over Valentines Day or after a new twist? Head to the National Portrait Gallery on Sunday for a dark, twisted lecture by Joanna Gilmour, curator of current exhibition Sideshow Alley: infamy, the macabre and the portrait. "Not for the faint of heart, Joanna Gilmour will lift the curtain on this very special Valentine's Day tour, to share stories of how sex, lust, adultery, lovesickness and passion came into the commissioning of some of 19th-century Australia's most infamous crimes." Nice! The lecture is at 2pm, Sunday, February 14, at the National Portrait Gallery.

These Two Are Making Waves
The 38-year-old was joined by bestie Cameron Diaz and a few other pals on Tuesday for a Mexican getaway, and the group was snapped taking a dip in the ocean by their exclusive hotel.
Diaz, 40, donned a revealing bikini that showed off her super-toned figure. Her Charlie's Angels co-star Barrymore, who welcomed daughter Olive last October with husband Will Kopelman, sported a halter top one-piece swimsuit.
The new mom looked back in fighting shape, although she recently told Good Housekeeping that dropping the baby weight isn't a top priority.
The star also admitted that she wasn't bikini-happy even before the arrival of Olive.
"I'm never going to have the kind of body that makes me excited about bikini season," she said. "I've never had a beach body."

Judge Alicia Franklin's and Attorney Doug York's Tone-Deaf Honeymoon Registry
You can help a judge's dream honeymoon come true.
Screenshot, honeymoonpixie.com.
Lawyers in Houston are scratching their heads over a lavish honeymoon gift registry posted online by Harris County Family Court Judge Alicia Franklin and her fiancé, attorney Doug York.
We're joining in on the head-scratching, especially since the exposure of the site -- which describes the couple's plans to stay in Paris and the Maldives ("for a little r&r") -- comes on the heels of a report finding that Franklin collected $806,005 from the county for her work as a judge-appointed attorney between 2010 and 2014.
Attorney Greg Enos filed a complaint with the Harris County District Attorney's Office over Franklin's billing for the ad litem work. His complaint emphasized four days in May 2014 when, according to Enos, Franklin billed more than 73 hours, which included one day when she allegedly billed for 23.5 hours.
"Any lawyer would immediately know it is not possible to bill those kind of hours in one day, and her pay vouchers for [three of those days] simply cannot be true," Enos alleged.

But even without Franklin rakin' in those public dollars, and even without the allegations, the honeymoon registry seems like a remarkably tone-deaf endeavor for a sitting judge.
It's also kinda icky, as evidenced by the registry's inclusion of "tropical accommodations," which states, "We will stay approximately ten nights in the Maldives and will spend a lot of time in our quarters, and thus we will remember our tropical accommodations for years."
These crazy kids "fell in love quickly," and York proposed to Franklin on Paris's Pont des Arts, "commonly known as the Love Lock Bridge," per the registry.
The site also explains, "The legend of the bridge in simple terms is essentially if you affix a lock with your loved one onto the bridge and throw the key into the river, if the lock isn't unlocked by the key, the couple live happily ever after. Naturally, Doug set the bar high not only proposing in Paris, but he also ordered a lock with Doug and Ali's names and the date of the engagement, of course we affixed our lock to the bridge and threw our key into the Seine."
Of course.
And now you can help them make their trip even more memorable by kicking in for parasailing, snorkeling, a helicopter tour, champagne, a couples massage, and a facial for the judge, among other gifts.
At first we thought this might have been a hoax. We reached out to Franklin and York, and have so far heard back from the latter. York faxed us a statement in which he mostly addressed an allegation on the Big Jolly Politics blog that a family law attorney "felt pressured" to contribute to the registry.
York wrote that he and Franklin "are giving this story the courtesy it deserves by completely ignoring it....It is most unfortunate that such a special day would be attacked, especially when the registry was only for close friends and family, as is the case in all weddings. At no time was there solicitation for funds or gifts from anybody. Period, end of story."
York added, "We are not angry, but are very disappointed that such a private happy occasion would get attacked by political underlying reasons. It takes a special person to do something this low. We, however, forgive the person who initiated this process, as our faith is strong, knowing all persons will face God to answer for their actions. We look forward to a wonderful life together, and this untruth will have no effect on such a great occasion."
Thing is, we didn't want to ask York (or Franklin) about a vague allegation that one attorney felt pressured, because the registry seems weird enough on its own. But hey, we wish these lovebirds the best.

Titillation is material or behaviour which rouses sexual feelings without satisfying them. Satisfaction may come later. Then it's very pleasant. Satisfaction may not come. Then it can be pleasant but a bit frustrating. It can also be very frustrating depending on the situation. Considerate sexual partners do not intentionally rouse a partner without giving pleasant satisfaction.
To titillate can mean to get a person a bit excited and interested. It used to mean to touch a person gently or to tickle.

JERUSALEM (AP) A military helicopter crashed at sundown Wednesday in northern Israel and burst into flames, killing two people, Israel's rescue service and the military said.
Channel 10 TV said two Cobra attack helicopters were flying in formation and touched. One helicopter went down near Kibbutz Ginegar, near the Israeli town of Afula in northern Israel, killing two people, the rescue service and Israeli media said.
Channel 10 TV reported the two dead were the pilot and weapons officer on the stricken helicopter. The report said the helicopter was about 40 years old and is not capable of carrying passengers.
The Israeli military said only that a military helicopter took off and crashed later. A Channel 2 TV reporter called it a "tragic training accident."
Motti Navon, who witnessed the crash, told Israel Radio that two Cobra helicopters apparently collided. "Suddenly we saw a rotor fall off" one of the helicopters, he said, and it crashed to the ground. "There was a huge explosion," he said.
The last crash involving Cobra attack helicopters was in July 2006, during Israel's month-long war against Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon. An air force officer was killed when two choppers collided near the border.
In Israel's worst military air disaster, two Sikorsky helicopters ferrying soldiers into Lebanon collided above northern Israel in February 1997, killing all 73 soldiers and crew on the two craft.

The Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) has 3 committees and 2 working groups.
Recovery committee
Chair: Annette Dale-Perera
Recovery committee is the newest standing committee of the ACMD, formed in 2011 to support the ACMD to advise the government on:
- how people can best be supported to recover from dependence on drugs and alcohol
- how best to prevent drug and alcohol misuse and the harms it causes
The recovery committee is comprised of ACMD members with an interest or expertise in aspects of drug and alcohol recovery, supplemented by additional co-opted experts in aspects of recovery.
Technical committee
Chair: Professor Ray Hill
Technical committee is a standing committee of the ACMD. Its primary purpose is to provide technical advice on classification and scheduling of substances under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and its regulations. For example, the committee is consulted on the measures necessary to ensure a controlled drug is not diverted from legitimate medical purposes.
Novel psychoactive substances committee
Chair: Professor Simon Gibbons
The novel psychoactive substances committee was set up in response to the emergence of novel psychoactive substances (NPS) that have rapidly and significantly changed the drug scene. The committee aims to monitor the prevalence and harms of NPS and where appropriate provide advice on this to government.
Working groups
Polysubstance use working group
Chair: Professor Fiona Measham
The ACMD was asked by government to advise on polysubstance use, an area of drug use that is becoming more relevant in society today. The polysubstance use working group will, among other issues relevant to polysubstance use, look at the definition of polysubstance use, markets, motivations, polysubstance combinations and consequences of polysubstance use.
Diversion and illicit supply of medicines inquiry
Chair: Professor Ray Hill
In September 2013, the government commissioned the ACMD to undertake a review to consider diversion and illicit supply of medicines. In particular, the government requested the ACMD to explore the potential for medical and social harms arising from the illicit supply of medicines – predominantly controlled drugs.
The scope of this review will include whether diversion and illicit supply of medicines displaces or replaces the misuse of known drugs of abuse, the prevalence of misuse of medicines obtained through these means, demographic of users, and the most prevalent drugs being misused in this manner.

At the Tone | Audio
By Jeffrey B. Burton
The lies of Jeffrey B. Burton have appeared in dozens of genre magazines (horror, mystery, literary). Jeff is a member of the Horror Writers Association. A collection of his short stories, Shadow Play, was published in 2005. His mystery novel, Sleuth Slayer, was published May 2008.
"Hello. You have reached the Mark and Danielle Becker residence. At the tone, please leave a message and Danielle or I will get back to you as soon as--
"Aw hell . . . who am I kidding? . . . none of that's actually true. It pains me to admit that Danielle no longer lives here. Not anymore, that is. And, quite frankly, I'll be shuffling off to Buffalo myself by the time any of you listen to this message.
"Hey, if this happens to be Danielle's parents, I just want you to know that--yes, indeed--I heard all of the gossip. You know, 'That Mark's certainly a slacker' or 'Danielle sure picked a deadbeat, didn't she?' or, simpler yet, 'Why did Princess have to go and marry that lazy lemon?'
"Yup, Danielle Dearest was certainly vocal with any and all of your editorial comments whenever we got into a quarrel, which, sorry to say, had become part of our daily regimen. By the way, that 'lazy lemon' comment was a bit beyond the pale, don't you think? Although, it did start me thinking.
"Just a quick aside--did either of you ever take an extended peek at your dear Princess? I damn near popped my seventh cervical carrying Precious over the threshold of that Belize villa you set us up with on our honeymoon.
"And our beloved Princess certainly acted like one, didn't she? Christ on a crutch, I felt myself shrivel and turtle up every time a waiter or maid discovered some new way to displease her. Thou shalt never slight the Princess--not unless you want all hell to rain down invoices, that is. I simply can't imagine where Princess got that particular trait from . . . hmmm, Mrs. Vanderpate?
"You know what's crazy? Whodda thunk there'd be so much money to be made in coffee cup coasters? Whew-Wee! Amazing how some fartskulls become millionaires, isn't it, Mr. Vanderpate? And those jobs that you set me up with at the plant? Simply riveting. Four stars for challenging my growth potential and utilizing my specific skill set. Counting pallets and quibbling with United Parcel--bless you for allowing me to leave my mark on the world, Sir, for allowing me to pee out my niche, if you will.
"By the way, Mr. Vanderpate, did you know the managers call you 'Doggy Breath' behind your back? But let's be honest here, you do have a bit of a halitosis thing going. Would brushing your teeth every few hours or popping a Certs now and again be far too beneath you, Mr. Vanderpate? Hell, even that schmuck Henderson, whose side you always took--even when I explained the reason I'd put those goddamned cartons in my trunk was merely so I could save the vendor a trip--calls you 'Doggy Breath' behind your back.
"Hey, as long as I've breached the 'Let's check Mark's trunk' ordeal, my-oh-my, that was quite unpleasant for all concerned, wasn't it? Certainly was for moi. Many things were vociferously implied about your son-in-law that day, Mr. Vanderpate, many things that went several exits past polite. Nope, not polite in the least.
"What's that asinine motto of yours again? Something about 'Rising and meeting the challenges.' With you, it was always 'Rise and meet the challenges, Mark.' Yet day in and day out you treated me like a useless embarrassment--a lazy lemon--didn't you?
"Well, let me tell you a thing or two about being a lazy lemon, Mr. Vanderpate. Would a lazy lemon set up a P.O. Box in a false name? Would a lazy lemon unearth the name of a deceased male that would be about the lazy lemon's same age had he lived? Would a lazy lemon get a social security number for the aforementioned dead fella and begin setting up credit cards, licenses and bank accounts in this fella's name in, say, parts unknown? And untraceable. Quite labor intensive for a lazy lemon now, wouldn't you agree, Mr. Vanderpate?
"I'm certain you had to put up with all sorts of whispered hints and allegations of nepotism, Mr. Vanderpate, but I for one will eternally be grateful for you allowing Princess that set-her-own-part-time-hours gig in Finance. Eternally grateful. Amazing the things you can do electronically these days. Sure makes life more convenient than in times past, huh? All you need is a password here and an account number there . . . and the world is truly your oyster.
"Amazing the information that Princess volunteered during our last little row--a fount of information, Mr. Vanderpate, a virtual fount of banking facts and figures. And, after a very minor tete-e-tete, Princess proved quite flexible in permitting me to convert all her assets to cash. Quite flexible, indeed.
"Just a final question regarding the family portfolio, Mr. Vanderpate. Why'd you hold nearly 80% in GMAC and over 15% in IBM? Tut-tut-tut. But rest assured, Sir, I've diversified all such oversights in the new holdings.
"Well, Mr. Vanderpate, methinks there may be a few challenges of your own to rise and meet in the upcoming days. Yessiree, Sir, a few challenges of your very own.
"Not much else for me to say, Mr. and Mrs. Vanderpate, but, after all the water that's gone under the bridge and over the dam these past few years, please let me try to end things on a civil note and leave you with one last little tip.
"You may not want to be the first to open our walk-in freezer . . ."
