Dividend Portfolio Update: August

At the start of each month I update my Dividend Income Portfolio.  Though I am very late this month, I have now made updates to the following: 

     * Current holdings 
     * Each holding's current yield 

     * Each holding's respective % of my portfolio
     * Each holding's % of my total income 

     * 2011 Total Annualized Income 

     * Morningstar's Average Star Rating of my portfolio

Secondly, I also thought it would be appropriate, however, for me to provide an explanation of what has been going on in my life - both personally and with investing (of course) - during my summer hiatus.  I hope you'll find it interesting and informative.

So, with that, here's what's been going on:
