The eagerly anticipated record is the culmination of Dave’s years as a rising star and his recent flurry of activity outside of the music space. Listen to Survival PaccHERE .

Dave East’s Def Jam/Mass Appeal saga took off in August 2017 with the release of his lauded mixtape, Paranoia: A True Story. The 13-track mixtape gained traction behind Dave’s Def Jam debut single “Perfect” featuring Chris Brown, whose VIDEO boasts more than 40 million combined YouTube views of to date.

ABOUT DAVE EAST:
Praised for his lyricism and raw storytelling, and blessed with a loyal New York following, Dave East is one of the most promising rappers on the scene today. Born and raised in Harlem, he was inspired by older generation East Coast rappers ranging from Notorious B.I.G. to Styles P, Jadakiss, Cam’ron, and Big Pun. After a college basketball stint, Dave’s attention gravitated full time to music. Starting in 2010, he released an array of critically acclaimed mixtapes that earned him widespread recognition in the hip-hop community. His seventhmixtape, 2014’s Black Rose caught Nas by surprise, and resulted in Dave’s signing to Nas’ Mass Appeal imprint. Subsequent mixtapes Hate Me Now (2015) and Kairi Chanel (2016, named for Dave’s daughter), boasted a collective guest list topped by Nas, Styles P, Pusha T, Jadakiss, 2 Chainz, Fabolous, Cam’ron, Beanie Sigel, Rico Love, and The Game, to name just a few. Kairi Chanel led off with the storytelling visual for “Keisha” followed by “Type Of Time”, with over 12 million combined YouTube views to date. After nabbing a spot in the notorious XXL Freshman Class of 2016, Dave arrived on the Def Jam roster late that year. He was first heard on “Gold Digger” featuring A-Boogie, from Def Jam’s Direct Deposit Vol. 2 compilation (February 2017).

Paranoia: A True Story marked Dave’s official Def Jam debut EP in August 2017 (with “Perfect” featuring Chris Brown). The Paranoia 2 mixtape followed in January 2018. It was supported by a 10-minute short film, “The Hated,” a gritty drama centering on two childhood friends who get caught up in the street hustle that eventually lands one of them in the Rikers Island lockup. Dave’s profile was amped considerably on his 23-city cross-country “Paranoia 2 Tour” of the U.S. in January-February 2018. He then jumped into the ring for Beloved( October 2018), a mixtape collabo with invincible Yonkers MC Styles P. The project spun off a single, “We Got Everything,” whose video starring both MCs. Dave segued into headlining his 23-city “Get It How I Live Tour” of the U.S. in November-December 2018.

5 Things to Consider Before Buying a Vacation Home

Leave a reply

If you’re in a financial position where you are considering a vacation home, it can be exciting. Maybe your family has a favorite travel destination, or you’ve come across a great deal, and you think you might be ready to dive in.

Last year according to the National Association of Realtors, around one in eight homebuyers were purchasing a second home.

There is a lot that goes into buying a vacation home in terms of finances and logistics that you need to keep in mind. Sometimes it can sound dreamy, but the reality is different than you expected it would be, and the following are five important things to consider and weigh before buying a vacation home.

How Much Is It Really Going to Cost?

You may be looking at just the cost of the property itself and thinking it’s a great deal, but that only tells a small fraction of the story.

For example, is the house close enough to drive to, or will you be flying? If it’s somewhere you have to fly to, then you may have to buy an additional car to use when you’re there, and that comes with its own set of costs beyond the purchase price, such as carrying auto insurance for a rarely driven vehicle.

If you have to fly, you also have to factor in how much those airline tickets are going to cost you every time you want to go to your second home.

You’ll need other types of insurance along with auto insurance, such as homeowners’ insurance, and if your second home is in a place where flooding or hurricanes are likely, you’ll have to add that coverage in.
Other costs that often come with a second home include utility bills, homeowners association fees, and maintenance for the lawn.

Are You Willing to Commit to One Travel Destination?

If you buy a second home in a place you love, you may be happy only to travel there but you have to ensure that’s the case. You may be very limited in where you’re able to go outside of traveling to your vacation home.

If you’re someone who likes familiar routines, this could be fine for you, but if you are someone who has the travel bug, you might want to save your money and put it toward trips around the world versus locking yourself into one destination.

Are You Going to Rent It Out?

Some people who buy a second home will use it as a source of income when they’re not there, by renting it out. It can be a good way to cover some of the costs of owning a second home, but it’s a lot of work to own and rent out a property. There will be costs involved, and even the best background check site can’t tell you truly as to whether the tenants you pick are going to be the greatest ones around. You need to ensure that you are really okay with renting your home before you list it.

First, you have to ensure you can even rent it out at all. Certain neighborhoods or condo buildings might not allow this.

You also have to think about how you would rent it out—some locations in the country don’t allow Airbnb, for example, so you may have to pay an agency to handle it for you.

You also then have to pay for additional maintenance, insurance and cleaning services.

Plus, the most demand for your rental is going to be during the high season wherever it’s located, and that’s going to cut into your ability to enjoy your home.

What Will the Taxes Be?

A vacation home is a personal residence according to the IRS if you rent it out 14 days or fewer a year. If you rent it out more than 14 days a year, it’s considered a rental property. Either way, you have to report the rental income, plus there are issues like property taxes to take into consideration.

Are You Being Realistic?

The biggest thing to think about aside from the financial considerations is if you’re being realistic about the potential value, monetary and otherwise, that a second home will bring to your life and the life of your family.

There are snowbirds that love their vacation homes, and they use them for months at a time.

However, if you have a young family and you’re working full-time, this just isn’t going to be feasible.

What can initially seem like a dream may turn into something that you rarely get time to go to, and a vacation home can quickly become a burden.

You want to make sure you have the time and willingness to use your vacation home before you make such a big purchase that’s going to impact your finances and your life in so many ways.

Things You Should Never Ignore When Looking for Broadband Deals

Leave a reply

If you are not a tech savvy person, the idea of changing your internet could send cold shivers through you. If you are not that way minded, how can you find the best broadband and phone deals? The adverts make all the deals sound perfect. Perhaps these pointers will help you see through all the glitz and sparkle and get down to what really matters about your broadband deal.

There are key factors you should never ignore when searching for a new broadband deal, such as:

Advertised Speed

There is often a huge difference between the advertised speed and actual speed received by the users. Most broadband providers advertise the speed that is the maximum received by its users during peak hours. This speed is not even received by half of the users and the half does don’t experience it all the time.

To resolve the speed issue opt for a code of practice that clearly indicates how much speed you will receive on an average and also what the minimum speed will be. Being able to refer to the provider’s own code of practice helps if you are constantly receiving speed lower than the minimum range and there may be compensation.

Broadband Only Deals

Most broadband deals come with a landline service because you need a landline to use it. There are very few broadband-only deals and they are often expensive. It’s always a better idea to opt for broadband and landline deals rather than broadband-only.Even if you are not using it with a broadband and landline deal, you have to pay the rental charges. Sometimes this cancels out the discount but there are still offers around.

Glitches of Limited Data

Broadband deals with limited data are much cheaper than unlimited data deals. But beware, these limited data deals cost way more in excess usage.

Whenever you opt for a limited data deal and your use exceeds the limit, you have to pay a good price for each extra Mb. The sum of these charges for extra Mb sometimes exceeds the cost of the unlimited data package.

In the era of online gaming, streaming, surfing it is almost impossible to stay within data limits. This is the reason now most of the broadband packages come with unlimited data and they are not much more expensive. So instead of constraining your use and checking used Mb every now and then, it’s better to opt for a broadband deal with the convenience of unlimited data.

The difficulty for gamers is a problem any of us could face in the future. It’s real easy to find your household demand for smooth, reliable internet access outstripping your provision and find yourself paying as much in extra charges as you do your subscription or perhaps worse, suffering with a jumpy, buffering connection. It’s an easy fix. You can upgrade your contract at any time and without any interruption to your service. Providers are more than happy to jump at the chance to make more money. A quick phone call, and a bit more cash is usually all it takes.

IT’S SNOWING WHITE TRUFFLES IN CARMEL VALLEY

LUCIA RESTAURANT & BAR KICKS OFF THE SEASON WITH A SALUTE TO THE DIAMOND OF ALBA

New Truffle-infused Menu & Cocktails for the Fungi Fanatic

Prized by kings and coveted by chefs, Italy’s famed Alba White Truffle hits its annual stride late fall when the nutty aromatic tuber debuts in auctions and A tables across the globe. Served raw, shaved by a specific slicer, the tuber magnatum pico from the Piedmont region is highly prized with pricing to match, ranging upward from $2,000 per pound. These aromatic subterranean spores, known for their pungent earthy and ethereal aroma, will be showcased in a variety of formats at Lucia Restaurant & Bar November 1 – December 15, 2019.

Chef Cal Stamenov’s month-long salute to the Diamond of Alba is no understatement. “Truffles are extremely fragile with a seven-day shelf life,” says Stamenov, who runs through 10 pounds per season, on average. Gracing Fallow Venison with cured duck liver, gnocchi and roasted persimmon or shaved atop a savory Warm Stuffed Ravioli plumped with soft quail egg and purple artichoke in a brown butter bath, this seasonal stunner is a classic complement to a variety of dishes. The wild underground fungi, harvested by special Lagotto Romagnolo dogs, lives in symbiosis with the roots of oaks, hazels and poplar trees taking on the color and essence defined by each species. “The flavor profile determines how we create each dish, and it changes by the harvest,” he adds.

As the season turns, diners will be offered an express lane into the culinary depths of this ancient wonder, with dishes such as a Classic Carnaroli Risotto with bone marrow, Parmigiano Reggiano and shaved white truffles and Nantucket Bay Scallops, paired with sunchokes and San Danielle Prosciutto, finished with a dusting of white love. Entrees include a Handcut Squid Ink Fettuccine, the ideal foil for truffles, served with Monterey Bay squid menuiere and shaved white Alba truffle. For game lovers, the red wine braised Guinea Hen Breast with braised leg stuffed agnolotti, paired with seasonal root vegetables and shaved truffle is a sure bet. Ensuring no opportunity is overlooked, Stamenov and team are also rolling out a sinful Heirloom Pear & White Truffle dessert as well, paired with caramel pot de crème, Meyer lemon madeleine and white truffle ice cream. Dishes are offered on a revolving monthly menu, market price.

TOAST OF THE COAST
Truffle-infused cocktails are also on tap this November, ensuring guests get their full fungi fix. Kick things off with The Hunt, featuring truffle infused WhistlePig Rye Whiskey, Punt e Mes and Bitter Truth chocolate bitters served in a classic coupe. The Garden Glass steps up with Belvedere vodka, Clear Creek pear liqueur, Meyer lemon, Bernardus honey and fresh shaved Alba truffle. Ideal for Carmel’s crisp fall nights the Nog Blanc combines Armagnac, truffle cream, fresh nutmeg and brown sugar syrup, shaken and served up. $25.

LUCIA RESTAURANT & BAR
Tucked 12 miles inland from the Pacific, the Forbes Four-Star Lucia Restaurant & Bar has long set the standard for dining along the California coast. Named after the majestic Santa Lucia Mountains which provide the dramatic backdrop to the 2,300 sq., ft., alfresco terrace, the contemporary 90-seat dining room is set in rich white Italian leather paired with rustic treatments crafted in marble, oxidized copper, teak and reclaimed wood. French wooden floors, chandeliers and stunning exterior fireplaces grace the mixed-use table layout with a focal point fireplace styled from Bagattini Oregon stone marking the main entrance. Paired with Stamenov’s light touch and artisanal integrity, the restaurant underscores the authentic relationship between food and terroir.

Classically trained with an eye to sustainability, Stamenov’s light touch and artisanal integrity are evident in every offering. Wielding an impressive resume working under the ardent eye of such culinary greats as Pierre Gagnaire, Michel Richard, Alain Ducasse, Eric Ripert and the legendary Masa Kobayashi, his California country cuisine plays off locally-sourced product with the essence of the dish taking center stage. Subtle reductions and thoughtful flavor marriages are his mantra, paired with a back pocket of local farmers and foragers keeping Lucia’s kitchen at a steady simmer.
Culling from the Lodge’s two-acre organic garden and a private two-acre cornucopia flush with 150+ fruit trees, heirloom vegetables, 180,000 Italian honeybees and a cache of Plymouth, Barred Rock, Rhode Island, Speckled Sussex and Ameraucana chickens, Stamenov’s seasonal spotlight menu is certain to please.
