Buffett's brand, operating under Margaritaville Holdings LLC, is a multibillion-dollar empire. Under the brand's umbrella is an impressive array of Buffet-related ventures: There are Margaritaville casinos, retirement homes, beach resorts, a radio station, and even a home décor line. However, the real bread and butter of the brand has always been food and drink.

Violent crime is a risk throughout Jamaica. The homicide rate reported by the Government of Jamaica is among the highest in the Western Hemisphere. The State Department has placed a travel restriction for U.S. government employees working in the region, prohibiting them from using public transit or driving overnight, and encourages American citizens who are visiting to follow the same guidance.

Monday would have been a fantastic day for fishing in Jamaica. The weather was just about perfect with bright sunshine, forecasters calling for temperatures in the low-to-mid 80s, somewhat calm breezes. Under normal circumstances, Shane Pitter probably would have been on the water. He was on frozen water instead at the Milan Cortina Games. Jamaica's next chapter of bobsled history is being written, and at the forefront of the story is the 26-year-old Pitter

The updated warning was published on Jan. 17, but the department noted there were no updates or modifications to risk factors travelers may face on the island. "Violent crime is a risk throughout Jamaica. The homicide rate reported by the Government of Jamaica is among the highest in the Western Hemisphere," the State Department wrote in its advisory, but added "Tourist areas generally see lower rates of violent crime than other parts of the country."

Upon turning up in the New York outpost of Lake Placid for their final Winter Olympics warm-up competition, Jamaica's four-man bobsleigh team were informed they were not allowed to take part. A hat-trick of gold medals over the preceding few weeks had seen them rise too high in the world rankings to take their customary place on the second-tier North American Cup circuit.

It did not have the sheer relentlessness of the parading talents at last weekend's Dublin racing festival in Ireland, but the final afternoon here on Saturday of significant trials for the Cheltenham festival offered further cause for hope that the Irish will not have things all their own way next month. Haiti Couleurs, the Denman Chase winner, is the latest British-trained

Dunder pit? This is the one of the most distinctive features of traditional Jamaican rum, a style exemplified by Hampden, which has been in operation since 1753. You typically make rum by fermenting molasses and/or sugar cane juice into an alcoholic wash, then distil that into a potent liquor, but local distillers developed several strategies to oomph up the flavour.

But rather than walk away from his creative calling, Driven said he pivoted - teaching himself videography and landing his first paid job through a Craigslist post filming Caribbean DJ, and DJ Mad Out. "That opportunity introduced him to New York's Caribbean music scene, where he went on to work with artists such as Shaggy, Ding Dong and Kranium," she said. "Those early experiences sharpened Hillmedo's eye for authenticity, capturing Caribbean culture not as spectacle, but as lived reality," she added.

Axel Brown, the pilot of Trinidad and Tobago's bobsled team, came to the Milan-Cortina Winter Games with a simple goal. "Just don't come last," he said. "We know that there is a 0% chance of us contending for medals. It doesn't matter if we have the absolute best day we've ever had. "That's just the reality of it. It's not defeatist, it's not negative. It's just being realistic."

The home shirt has a yellow-gold base overlaid with a weave pattern that makes it look like the crocheted garments and Rasta headwear Marley wore in the 1970s. There are also horizontal bands in black, red and green that span the shirt and feature a pattern intended to resemble vinyl records. The away shirt is arguably even livelier, with the Jamaican national colors once again used to create a black alternative design that pays homage to the rocksteady rhythm of the island's music.
