Live Feed! Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos, 8/2/2017

Live Feed! Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos, 8/2/2017.  What you see in the video below is the economy of the Turks and Caicos, mostly tourism and recreation.  The Turks and Caicos are a part of the British empire located southeast of the Bahamas and in the Atlantic Ocean.  They are run on the parliamentary systems and the islands are overseen by a British governor.



Conch farming is a big part of their economy and conch is a delicacy of the island as they are farmed from the crystal blue water.  While this looks like paradise, crime is very high, the homicide rate is 10 deaths /100,000 people. Crimes against tourists persist as there have been a rash of shootings, two Americans in the recent two months.  Despite that, the islands are a popular place to snorkel and scuba dive.

Disney's Contemporary Resort (Walk-Thru Monorail and All!!!) at Disney World, Lake Buena Vista, FL, 7/11/2017 (Part 3)

I had the privilege of visiting Disney's Contemporary Resort at Disney World, Lake Buena Vista, FL last week. The past couple of months I have been looking at Disney's stock (NYSE ticker:  DIS), it pays over a two-dividend and earnings have been up three-fold the past ten years. Things are looking good at Disney, Disney amazingly holds eight out of nine top spots for theme park attendance world-wide!!!

This is the third part of several videos which is a complete walk-through of this extraordinary resort and hotel. The resort is decades old but so well kept that it looks almost brand new.  Included, is a cameo appearance by the Monorail, the Grand Canyon atrium and, of course, the pool.  The rooms are a bit pricey but I highly suggest visiting and booking a room as the resort is one stop away on the Monorail line from the Magic Kingdom and two stops away from Epcot Center

Midnight Oil Returns to Tour! "The Great Circle 2017 World Tour"

As mentioned before, the band Midnight Oil has been performing its "The Great Circle 2017 World Tour" the past four months.  The North American tour was highly successful with most of the shows being sold out to high demand.  I got to see them in Silver Spring and they were great.  They were a little rusty as the band recently reformed after being disbanded since 2002.  Midnight Oil is currently touring Europe, then Asia and New Zealand, and lastly Australia.  Below is one of my favorite songs from 1985:

The Van Der Hagen Traditional Safety Razor (Part 3)

During the past several months, I have been using a double-edged (aka., safety razor) blade from Van Der Hagen to shave with. The Van Der Hagen Traditional Safety Razor blade is similar to what my grandfathers used for shaving their faces back in the day.

I feel that this shaving blade gives a closer shave and reduces razor burns, cuts, bleeding, bumps and infections. The unit price on the shaving blades are half the cost, or even more, than traditional cartridge blades.
The razor handle and blades take up less space than conventional cartridge razors.  The only thing that you dispose of is the 1/2 square-inch blade.

Traditional cartridge blades normally have two, three or as many as five blades.  Having 5 blades going across ones face at the same time can really irritate and damage the skin.

As a result of using the Van Der Hagen Traditional Safety Razor, my skin feels smoother and more refreshed.  I have been complemented that my skin looks clearer and is smoother as a result.  I also feel more satisfied because of less cost and waste associated with the Van Der Hagen Traditional Safety Razor. Plus, there is something satisfying about shaving with a safety razor that I cannot describe.

The Van Der Hagen Traditional Safety Razor can be purchased from Amazon, the product can be viewed below:

Gold Figaro Chains for Men, Awesome!

Stop!  Gold figaro chains for men are all that you need.  You want a hottie rollin' up on you at Burger King after you order that whopper with fries??  You want to be da man at da pool with that sparkling gold chain dangling from your neck??  Wondering why you are getting all of that sudden attention? IT'S... ALL... ABOUT... DA... CHAIN!

This is your start for getting the wanted or unwanted attention that you've always craved or not.  I suggest the 24 inch (in.) gold chain or longer.  They come in various thicknesses, 1.5 - 9 millimeters (mm). Don't short sell yourself by getting a stainless steel or sterling silver chain, a gold figaro chain isn't that much more expensive and it's what women crave! Also, order the vneck shirt while you're at it to show that chunk of shiny gold figaro chain to everyone!  IT'S ALL ABOUT DA CHAIN!

Samba Classic Adidas Soccer Shoes

Samba Classic Adidas soccer shoes have been popular for years.   Samba Classic's come in black and white and in all sizes for adults and kids.  Samba Classic soccer shoes are not only for kicking soccer balls but they are worn for style.  People of all ages wear these shoes for playing soccer, kicking, walking or just being stylish.  The material of the shoes is very durable and long lasting and just a few minutes in the washing machine is good enough to clean dirt and marks.

John Grisham New Book "Camino Island"

John Grisham has a New Book "Camino Island" recently released.  The wildly popular author has written yet another novel.  The plot of the book follows:
 
A gang of thieves stage a daring heist from a secure vault below Princeton University’s Firestone Library. Their loot is priceless, but Princeton has insured it for twenty-five million dollars.  Bruce Cable owns a popular bookstore in the sleepy resort town of Santa Rosa on Camino Island in Florida. He makes his real money, though, as a prominent dealer in rare books. Very few people know that he occasionally dabbles in the black market of stolen books and manuscripts.

Mercer Mann is a young novelist with a severe case of writer’s block who has recently been laid off from her teaching position. She is approached by an elegant, mysterious woman working for an even more mysterious company. A generous offer of money convinces Mercer to go undercover and infiltrate Bruce Cable’s circle of literary friends, ideally getting close enough to him to learn his secrets.  
But eventually Mercer learns far too much, and there’s trouble in paradise as only John Grisham can deliver it.

Back to Cutting Weight

I will be limiting myself to having between one and two full meals a day during the next month to shed some extra pounds. I have been eating poorly since I lost thirty pounds last summer and have gained half of my weight back. I have been eating too much junk food, white starches and sugar the past few months. I will be focusing on eating real foods, fruits, vegetables, nuts and lean protein. Losing weight is a pain in the ass. I have been exercising moderately, nothing crazy just jogging and walking mostly, but I hope to get back into the gym routine soon.

Avoidance of White Starches and Sugars in Foods

My blood glucose levels have been elevated so my doctors recommended that I limit starches and sugars.  As a result, I did lose quite a bit of weight following a limited white starch and limited sugar diet.  White starches such as white bread, white potatoes and white rice are easily converted into sugars.  Sugar, of course, is found in candy, sodas, sports drinks, ice cream and processed foods as filler.  Too much white starches and sugars can lead to weight gain and more severe conditions such as diabetes. 


I have been told to simply avoid white starchy foods as well as sugar.  My doctor indicated no more than 10 grams of sugar per meal.  I did lose quite a bit of weight listening to my doctor's advice and my blood glucose levels fell.  However, I did gain half of the weight back because I was undisciplined with my eating and avoidance of starches and sugars recently.

Coach Corey Wayne "Understanding Relationships" (Part 2)


As I mentioned, Coach Corey Wayne has a great YouTube channel on dating and relationships.  And I also mentioned that he has a really good book called "How To Be A 3% Man, Winning the Heart of the Woman of Your Dreams."   The premise of the book is how to fix and maintain relationships.  I have read the book a couple of times and was blown away by the content.  I highly suggest getting the book if you are lacking in that department.  Among some of the items and principles in the book are:  the no-contact rule for break ups, what makes a masculine man. what women want in a man, basic communication protocol with women.  The book is geared more towards men but also can be very helpful for women, below is a link to purchase:
