Bonaparte's Retreat, Napoleon Indiana - SEI Fried Chicken
Thu, 07/18/13 4:22 PM
Last week I had the wonderful opportunity to meet up with the one and only SCREAMINGCHICKEN while he was on his annual road trip. I suggested we meet up at Bonaparte's Retreat in Napoleon, IN. They are listed on the South Eastern Indiana Fried Chicken Trail, and from past experience I knew they have good fried chicken.
I was all set, I headed out a little early so I could be there when Brad arrived. OK so "A little early" is a bit of a misstatement, I got there 24 hours early.
I hit the wrong date when entering it into my phone. However all was not lost, I was in Napoleon, and I was going to get something to eat. I knew they have great fried chicken, and they also have a great BPT sandwich. I knew there was no way I was going to be able to eat both so this error was actually a blessing in disguise. I could eat the BPT today and then have Chicken with Brad tomorrow.
So without further delay:
Bonaparte's Retreat
Napoleon, IN
As i said I got there a day early so I had time to look over the menu a little better and listen to the local gossip around town. I also thoroughly enjoyed a younger couple and his story about his neighbor who took a shot at his dog and how he was going into psy-op warfare on the guy.
(the couple was not a local couple they were townies from Indy) I did hear a bit of news that i didnt expect though, the Napoleon Tavern (another good fried chicken place in town, ok right across the street) was for sale, so if anyone would like a tavern, come and get it.
OK OK back to the main event, you have seen the building now it's time for the menu.
Ok enough about the menu. The story of the restaurant tells about one of the owners also owning the local lumber company, so white oak was very easy for them to obtain.
There is quite a collection of Napoleon items, and other nautical items too the oil painting of the man himself was beautiful, but hey were here for the food.
Today was Breaded Pork Tenderloin time.
The hand pounded and breaded loin was wonderfully moist, and had the taste of pork. So many of them either have no taste at all, or you taste the breading more than anything else. This BPT was the perfect combination. This tenderloin was not pounded as flat as some either this was a nice 5/8" thick and a good bite.
After finishing my sandwich I headed out to two local cemeteries as I had my camera with me I might as well get some gravestone shots for my other hobby (findagrave.com) photographing cemeteries and geneaology.
Well.... I took over 400 pictures that afternoon, the weather was near perfect, the heat had not quite made it into the area yet, there was an afternoons chance of pop up thunderstorms, and the humidity was not opressive either, so a good day to walk amongst the stones an take some pictures.
Well.... When I got back to my computer (in my rush to be a day early) I didnt check to see if the two cemeteries in Napoleon needed to be photographed. Yup you guessed it, all 400 + photos and every single one of the graves had been photographed already!
Oh well, like I said it was a great day to be out.
The next day, I did meet up with SCREAMINGCHICKEN for our meal of FRIED CHICKEN. The service was great and our orders were taken quickly. Now CTD don't fall off your computer chair but.....
A nice side salad - Ok I was going to have the mashed potatoes and gravy but they were out
How do you run out of mashed potatoes and gravy? Like I said though I do like a side salad every now and then.
We both ordered the fried chicken, Brad ordered just chicken as he had other stops to make during the day, and I had the 1/2 Chicken Dinner with salad and mac and cheese bites.
The chicken was wonderfully tender and juicy the crust on the chicken was light and crispy, just enough pepper and salt to make you want to order a side of chicken skin (if they had it).
We both polished off our chicken and it took several napkins to clean our hands and faces so YES, it was good. Brad and I talked a bit more before he had to hit the road and head towards Lebanon, OH.
It was good to meet Screamingchicken and get to break bread with him. I look forward to his next trip through the area and maybe another chicken adventure.

Did you get to see Kay Starr?
Met the man I love
In a town way down in Dixie
'Neath the stars above
He was the sweetest man you ever did see
When he held me in his arms
And told me of my many charms
He kissed me while the fiddles played

No Kay Starr on this trip or Pee Wee King. Although she is a great Jazz singer.
I actually remember the fiddle version of the song better than the later versions recorded by many. The fiddle version was used as the basis for part of Aaron Copland's Rodeo.
I also just love the fiddle version by its self too.

It was nice to be able to meet Donald and share a meal, and his suggestion of
Bonaparte's Retreat
was on the money - the chicken was exactly as he described. The day before had been quite rainy but the weather had broken by that morning; in fact, the whole weekend was quite pleasant for southern Indiana and Ohio. I wish I could've sampled some of the side dishes or maybe even a BPT but with several hours of driving and a chili stop ahead of me I decided to play it safe.
I can only surmise that there must've been an unusually high demand for gravy the night before and the kitchen hadn't recovered yet!

Skinner ADMIN (1000+ posts) Thu Jun-30-11 08:01 PM
Original message
I'm asking for a personal favor: Please help President Obama and my friend Maia...My good friend Maia works on the Obama campaign. The staff is having a competion for who can get the most people to donate on their personal fundraising page. The contest ends tonight at midnight (your local time), and right now Maia is in a dead heat with another staff member for first place. As I post this message, she is only 3 gifts ahead.
First prize is a phone call from President Obama. If Maia wins, she is going to ask that President Obama call her dad. He was a county comissior in Washington state who took her door-knocking for Democratic candidates when she was six. And he woke her up on her 18th birthday to tell her she could only vote Dem. Maia really wants to win this prize for her dad. He would be thrilled.
No donation is too small. Just give $5 if you can. Donate on her personal page, here:

Please kick and rec this thread so more DUers can help!

Lynette is horrified to realize that Eddie didn't just kill his mother: He's the Fairview Strangler! He doesn't want to hurt Lynette, who's been so kind to him, so he says he'll drop off her off in a remote place so she won't immediately call the police. "I can't go anywhere," she says. "My water just broke. This baby is coming now. And you have to help me deliver it." Eddie reluctantly helps, but panics when he sees that the umbilical cord is wrapped around the baby's neck. "Listen to me. You have the chance to save a life," she tells him. "Please!" He manages to move the cord and the baby is safely delivered.
Eddie prepares to leave, but Lynette tells him, "Wait. That day at the house, you told me that your life would have turned out so differently if I had been your mom. So I'm going to be your mom now." She asks him to turn himself in. When he says, "I don't want to spend the rest of my life in jail," she points out, "Don't you see that you're already there? As long as you want to keep hurting people, you will never be free. People will never see that you're good, unless you show them." He walks out the door, then walks back in. "Will you call them for me?" he asks tearfully.
Susan and Mike hold a yard sale, where Karen and Roy offer to pay $100 for one of MJ's stuffed toys. Susan sticks to the 50 cent sale price. But when MJ asks where his toy is, Susan realizes it's been sold by mistake. She goes to get it back from Roy, but he's already given it to his grandson, who's deaf. Susan sadly informs MJ, "That's life. Sometimes you can be a good person and life still won't give you your dinosaur back." Mike realizes she's furious at him, not "life," and tells her, "Let me have it." "Yeah, I resent you," she yells. "You blew it. Thanks to you, I have to leave the home where I raised my children." She reminisces about measuring her children's height against the door post. "We're going to get it back," he assures her, but in the meantime, he pries off the door post to take with them.
Since only family is allowed during non-visiting hours, Gaby gets in to see Nick at the hospital by pretending to be Angie. She brings him out of his coma and drives him to his house, where they figure out how to rescue Angie and Danny from Patrick's clutches. But Nick passes out, so Gaby's on her own! She talks a clueless Susan into saying goodbye to Angie while she climbs into the upstairs bedroom to free Danny.

Smartphones and tablets really help GasBuddies to post everyday! Keep going like a PRO Twin Cities GasBuddy! Have a nice weekend! Thanks buddy! YB Ron

The way outWASHINGTON � For all the hyped indignation over GOP "anarchism," there has been remarkable media reticence about the president's intransigence. He has refused to negotiate anything unless the Republicans fully fund the government and raise the debt ceiling � unconditionally.
KRAUTHAMMER: The fruits of epic incompetence
WASHINGTON � The president of the United States takes to the airwaves to urgently persuade the nation to pause before doing something it has no desire to do in the first place.Strange.

Denver >Food & Dining > Double Daughter's Salotto
1632 Market Street, Denver, CO | Directions 8020239.750341 -104.997491
Neighborhoods: Northwest Denver, Union Station, LoDo
Horrible Service – Me and my friend went on a great pub crawl. she was in from out of town, and I took here to some great bars with awsome atmosphere. We were having a great night, and we thought double daughters would add to it. The bartender with dark hair was very rude from the begining, took us over 10 min, to get served. the place was hardly fulle maybe 5 people other than us.
The dj had a great ambient set, However my friend asked about the bar being curius, and the bartender honestly said "This is Marios now go f**k yourselves" we were so taken back, and were so polite from the moment we walked in, that we imadietlt left, and will never return back.
I have several friends that take people to this bar/lounge, that will never give them service again, and thats a shame because if the staff was not so rude AND NOT CHARGE MY CREDIT CARD FOR UN-NESSARY CHARGES, this establishment would have alot more going for them. Never again
Favorite spot in Denver.. – I had eaten at Two Fisted Marios a few times before we took a peak behind the curtain.
It was like walking into The Nightmare Before Christmas meets The Chocolate Factory. So we decided we definitely had to come back for cocktails.
So on a Saturday night we came back. It was pretty packed but there were lots of cool people there. Had many interesting conversations!
I also really love that you can order pizza by the slice from next door. Nothing like a peice of veggie pizza when you're feeling a little buzzed. ^_^
The drinks were yummy; I had the Punctual Rabbit. All the drinks have whimsical names like that. I tasted my girlfriends drinks as well and they were all delicious!
The service was pretty prompt, although the girls that worked there were't very friendly.
The location is also a good point because it's easy to hail a cab or grab a bus!
Overall, this place is great, besides the somewhat pretentious staff.
A response to a review and a word of caution to credit card customers – This review is a response to the review posted about the "shady waitress."
I am the manager at DDS and was contacted by the husband of the young lady who had a tip posted to her credit card without her permission. I researched their complaint and found that there had been no tip posted to their account by our waitress or our establishment. When I called back to confirm this with the couple, they acknowledged that, indeed, there was no charge to their card other than the charge that was authorized by the cardholder. They then apologized for the accusation.
Unfortunately, most credit card processing companies will "hold open" or "ping" a debit card, and sometimes a credit card, to make sure there are sufficient funds in the account to hold open a tab at a bar.
This "credit check" has nothing to do with the establishment and seems to be a universal practice among credit card processing companies.
Usually, this amount is $50, but it can vary. This is not a charge, but if one were to go home straight after visiting an establishment and check their account online or by phone, they would see a
'pending" charge. Often, this charge will "disappear" after a day or so. If it does not, then you should contact the establishment where the charge was processed and the bank that issued your card.
It is unfortunate that this patron's review was posted before we at DDS could research and remedy her situation. I hope that they will return in the future and have a more satisfying experience.
Good place but the waitress is shady – My husband and I went to Double Daughters for a bite to eat and drinks. We enjoyed the pizza as always, and the DJ was pretty good too. We didn't stay long as we were moving on for the evening for dancing, paid with a credit card and left a tip in cash. Unfortunately, when we got home, we found out that our waitress had added her own tip to our bill. It was only the two of us, so there's no way it could have been an automatic group charge. Be careful with your waitress!!!
Best palce in town – not only is the staff amazing but the drinks are impeccable and the pizza is to die for. when you go you walk through two huge gold doors and come to place like Alice in wonderland. its got dim lighting that accentuates the red bar stools and tear drop like booths. behind the bar is a concoction that looks bl00d red they call it the house drink and it comes out of a space age type cylinder. but be weary when ordering this drink they only allow two per person. when your there be sure to say hey to Spencer you cant miss him he's the tall lanky blond mo-hawked manager who is l-a-1-d back and very impeccably dressed. out of all the bars on Lodo I'd say this is the best because they don't expect you to be anything more then who you came in as. as one of the best regulars i suggest you go check it out you might be surprised how amazing this place is and while your there have a teddy bear 0-r-g-y or a six toed kitten two really great martinis.
Sophisticated Fun – This place carries all the right vibes. The staff is wonderful and the drinks are wildly delic and fabulously fun. High recommend for those going out with a group of out-of-towners!
Amazing – Comfortable and fun. This place is wonderful and has a great happy hour. The staff is always friendly. Stop by and try the green tea press, my personal fav.
this review has to be one hundred characters long but it is only fifty so far and now there's also a limit of thirty five characters per word
Mediocre bar. – The atmosphere at this bar is great. Unfortunately while my girlfriend and I were enjoying martinis there, a "patron" attempted to pick her pocket. Additionally their admittance policies are terrible. Two separate times my friends and I were denied entrance because we had temporary drivers licenses with us. I am well over 21. The management of this establishment needs to get their act together or their bar will suffer the same short lifespan of so many businesses in LoDo.
Fantastic – I LOVE this place! The atmosphere is unlike anywhere else in Denver. The staff is great, it's filled with interesting people, and you can always get the best pizza in Denver from Two Fisted. Definitely a jem among the usual LoDo clubs.

NBC's Kerry Sanders reports from Orlando, Florida where spectators started fighting while waiting in line this morning for seats in the Casey Anthony murder trial.
By Kerry Sanders, NBC News Correspondent
ORLANDO, Fla – It's come to fisticuffs.
The spectators who line up each day for seats in the Casey Anthony courtroom turned on each other early Friday.
Fists were thrown and there was scratching and a lot of screaming as more than 100 people jockeyed for position in line.
Each day there are between 50 and 62 seats for the public to enter the courtroom on the 23rd floor at the Orange County Courthouse.
Daily, the court administration hands out tickets.
'Running of the bulls'
In the 21 days this trial has been under way, the scene has become increasingly uglier.
Some call it "the running of the bulls" because no one is allowed on the court property to line up until 5:30 a.m.
In an admirable display of self-regulation, a few days ago those in line began writing numbers on the back of their hands with a Sharpie marker.
That seemingly eliminated the need for the "running of the bulls."
Defense attorneys for Casey Anthony begin laying out their case in her murder trial. NBC's Jay Gray reports.
But Friday morning, several folks decided that self-regulation system was "illegal."
Pushing and shoving was followed by punching and screaming.
Orlando police responded. Several of those in line were pulled out.
If it all sounds like those scenes from a bargain basement sale on Black Friday remember: this is a murder trial.
It just takes a quick trip to the 23rd floor here to remember: Two-year-old Caylee Anthony is dead. If convicted of first-degree murder, her 25-year-old mother Casey Anthony could be sentenced to death.
This trial has turned into yet another reality show.
And outside, there's a shameful circus.
For many, a deadly serious murder trial has become captivating reality TV. NBC's Kerry Sanders reports.

[This post has been updated with some important notes]
Bluetooth is the future of MIDI on iOS.
Several weeks ago, we saw the first steps toward this, and today it's one step further. Introducing BlueMidi: a Virtual MIDI compatible Bluetooth MIDI transmitter for iOS. This app receives MIDI from other apps running on the same iOS device and continues to send that MIDI, through Bluetooth, to your Mac via this helper app.
Note: This and the post you are currently reading are not by the same developer. So this does not correspond with this (the video embedded above).
Also note that: The second app being demonstrated in the video has pads that light up slightly after you touch them, making it not a very good latency demonstration…
Another note: This app requires a Mac running Bluetooth LE, meaning Macs released after June 2012.
One more note: the iOS app requires Bluetooth LE and is compatible with the following devices:
- iPhone 4S and iPhone 5
- iPod Touch 5th gen.
- iPad 3, iPad 4, iPad mini
- The app also requires iOS 6.0 or later
Now, there is no need for a WiFi network (it's been proven insignificant anyway – note that that test was done with a different iOS app) and your dock is now freed up for an audio interface or charging cable! All that's missing now is Bluetooth MIDI hardware or an adapter!

Packers vs. 49ers – Game Day First Impressions, Unfiltered: GB 20 SF 23
Green Bay Packers vs. San Francisco 49ers: 2013 Wild Card Round
Unfiltered game day blog post of comments, observations and first impressions.
This will be the second meeting this season and the fourth in the last 16 months between the clubs. The Packers visited San Francisco in Week 1 this season, a 34-28 win for the 49ers.
Including playoffs, the Packers have won 13 of the last 17 games against the 49ers, but San Francisco has emerged victorious in the last three.
It's cold at Lambeau Field, with temperatures in the single digits and dropping. It's possible the temperature will remain at or above zero through most of the game, with the brutal cold arriving later in the evening. Still, wind chills will be in the minus-20 range for most of the game and possibly getting worse.
As per team tradition, the Packers alternated game captains each week during the regular season. The team elects captains for the entire postseason.
Today's captains for the Packers will be WR Jordy Nelson and QB Aaron Rodgers (offense), S Morgan Burnettand LB A.J. Hawk (defense), and K Mason Crosby and CB Jarrett Bush (special teams).
Inactives for today's game:
Green Bay Packers
13 WR Chris Harper
16 QB Scott Tolzien
20 CB Jumal Rolle
51 LB Nate Palmer
52 LB Clay Matthews
65 G Lane Taylor
73 C/G JC Tretter
San Francisco 49ers
22 CB Carlos Rogers
46 TE Derek Carrier
54 LB Nick Moody
62 G Ryan Seymour
71 DT Quinton Dial
78 G Joe Looney
84 WR Jon Baldwin
Startling lineup change: 26 CB Trumaine Brock starts for Rogers.
Packers vs. 49ers – First Impressions – First Half:
Hope all the #Packers fans at Lambeau stay warm and BRING THE NOISE!!! #gopackgo
The Eagles' loss to the Saints last night highlights the problems of poor run defenses. I'm hoping but not confident that the Packers can get back into their earlier season form in that regard.
Three runs to start the game, and a three-and-out. Message sent, but at what cost?
Sam Shields down… Not a good sign for the Packers.
Two fumbles so far, one by each team. Could see more of this with the weather, but who will take advantage of it?
It's going to be a long day for the secondary, as Crabtree is wide open for the 4th down conversion.

But as he stepped out of his car at Hart's Ferry Park, Ohatchee Mayor Steve Baswell wasn't concerned with the view. His focus was on the empty beer cans and fast food wrappers littering the grounds and river.
"It doesn't matter when you come," Baswell said. "It always looks like this."
Cleaning the park, and most of the area around the river that forms the western border of Ohatchee, has become a constant problem, Baswell said. It's why next week he's meeting with Alabama Power and the Calhoun County Chamber of Commerce to try to organize a regular cleanup day aligned with the power company's Renew Our Rivers program.
"It's been something they've been doing for years in Etowah County," Baswell said. "And we've always been heavily involved in that, but we're just trying to get it now in Calhoun County and Ohatchee."
Renew Our Rivers, now a statewide program which asks volunteers to help clean up Alabama's bodies of water, actually got its start on the other side of the Coosa River in Gadsden, where annual cleanup events still take place.
"Before Alabama Power got involved, we started cleaning up the river in 1999," said Hap Bryant, the vice-president of the Neely Henry Lake Association. "I can tell you, we don't clean up nearly as much trash as we used to."
Bryant said the annual cleanup, which encompasses an entire week, regularly sees more than 100 volunteers help out, many from out of the county.
And many from Ohatchee, Baswell said.
The small-town mayor said having an Ohatchee cleanup day isn't a competition – the program is a valuable community service, he said – but there is a benefit to the town and Calhoun County with having your name attached to it.
"It's just more visibility," Baswell said. "More credit for our portion of it."
Getting Renew Our Rivers to Ohatchee is just a small piece of getting the town on the map, Baswell said. In recent years, the mayor said he's made it a mission to become more involved with the County Chamber of Commerce, regularly attend area Metropolitan Planning Organization meetings, and take a greater interest in being part of the larger community.
And cleaning the river is one step in making the county shine.
"It's not just the water, it's the roads too," Baswell said. "We want to do an Ohatchee cleanup day, and even a Calhoun County clean-up day. Just get rid of all the trash and keep it that way."

Investigate the killing of innocent protesters in Guatemala
19-year-old Ilmer Orlando Boror Zet was a member of the Lo de Ramos community in San Juan Sactepequez, a community that is currently struggling against the installation of a cement corporation in their territory.
This latest murder marks the 10th violent incident against the Maya people so far this year, and the systematic prosecution and intimidation against the communities in San Juan Sacatepequez by the Guatemalan state and the corporation Cementos Progreso.
Last month, 19-year-old Walter Ronaldo Méndez Velásquez, a technical student at the University Rafael Landívar and Friends of the Earth Guatemala/CEIBA volunteer, was also a victim of the area's violence. Walter was killed on September 7, 2009, as he was returning home from a day working at an ecological farm managed by CEIBA. CEIBA believes Walter was assassinated as part of an increase in the criminalization of social groups in response to the struggle for the defense of peoples' territories.

The Ross Valley Sanitary District will not seek a legal claim against a contract attorney who allegedly didn't provide the sewer board with information about a loan made without collateral to former general manager Brett Richards.
In April, Richards, 45, was charged by the Marin County district attorney with nine felony counts including misappropriation of public funds, embezzlement and money-laundering in connection with his failure to repay the $350,000 housing loan. His whereabouts are unknown.
The affidavit for a warrant for his arrest recounted that the sanitary district's interim legal counsel at the time, Sanford Skaggs, noticed that the contract granting Richards the loan lacked a requirement for a deed of trust. On Nov. 2, 2010, the attorney prepared a memorandum to the board's president and secretary addressing the issue.
According to the affidavit, however, instead of sending the memorandum directly to district board members, the attorney sent it to Richards. Board members told Marin district attorney investigators they were not provided a copy of the memorandum.
When the board met last week it considered legal action, but ultimately decided against seeking a claim against the attorney, said Frank Egger, board president.
"The chances of us collecting are almost nil," said Egger, who said the board consulted legal malpractice experts. "And it would have cost a lot of money to pursue it."
Skaggs, an attorney based in Walnut Creek, could not be reached for comment.

LeCHOKE James!!
I had to get that off my chest. My real question is how would Cleveland greet LeBron when he leaves? I know if I was at the game I would boo him till I passed out. And if he won another MVP would Akron want him to accept it there like he did the last two times. When i watched LeBron play I saw a guy who already had his bags packed and he just tried to get the game over with. He looked uninspired and gave up the ball too much. He did not have the intensity to take over that game. Antawn also played a bad game. LeBron just gave up plain and simple. LeBron looked hesitant he looked like he second guessed himself on everything he did. As a "Choke"land Cavalier fan I'm really disappointed. Watch it Chicago it might not be a success story as you think.. LeBron is not the next Micheal Jordan. He's the next Steve Nash.

IntuVue – Honeywell's family of advanced 3-D weather radar systems for air transport, business and military aircraft.
Did you know weather costs the aerospace industry billions of dollars each year?
- Weather-related delays & cancellations cost the U.S. economy $18B in 2007.
- Turbulence-related incidents cost airlines on average $150K/incident. Total cost to the industry exceeds $100M/year.
- Business jet operators experience approximately 180,000 flights that are delayed due to weather, costing an estimated $340M.
IntuVue helps to minimize the financial impact of severe storm activity while providing maximum aircraft efficiency, safety and performance over traditional radar systems:
- Enables rerouting sooner through longer-range weather hazard detection.
- Increases crew efficiency by reducing pilot workload through automatic operation and intuitive displays.
- Provides greater safety using the most advanced predictive windshear and MOPS certified enhanced turbulence detection and alerting capability.
- Enhances crew and product performance through fleet commonality, increased reliability and advanced weather hazard detection and analysis.
These features and advanced technology enable pilots to quickly identify and analyze weather hazards at up to 320 nautical miles, for improved safety, fuel efficiency and on-time arrivals. Pilots have demonstrated a 26% improvement in decision making using IntuVue.
IntuVue – Storm Chaser Video
Honeywell's IntuVue 3-D Weather Radar helps increase in-flight situational awareness and improves pilot's decision making in flight. Previously unable to anticipate either hail or lightning in their flight path, pilots are now able to predict the probability of severe weather up to 10 minutes in advance. IntuVue 3-D also enables the long range detection of turbulence - up to 70 miles ahead, the longest range available today, providing the flight crew with more time to reroute or initiate turbulence avoidance procedures. Our Storm Chaser video showcases some of the media reviews IntuVue received following a series of demonstration flights when we flew journalists in to the heart of a storm!

- Making the rounds on trading desks is this chart of the DJIA (DIA) of the last 18 months superimposed on a chart of the index during the same time frame in 1928-1929. The short version: If form holds, the market is set for another epic crash.
- In the more nuanced version, the chart says little except for again proving the hardwired tendency of the human brain to see patterns where none exist, and one is reminded of similar exercises over the past few years making the case for the Dow breaching its financial crisis lows.
- Technical guru Tom DeMark, however, is starting to believe: "Originally, I drew [the chart] for entertainment purposes only ... Now it's evolved into something more serious."
- Tom McClellan: "There is no guarantee that the market has to continue following through with every step of the 1929 pattern. But between now and May 2014, there is plenty of reason for caution."

- "The Safety Bubble Deflates," goes the title of a new report from Bernstein's Seth Masters, adding his name to those voices suggesting "safe" assets have become otherwise.
- Even though utilities, telecom, and consumer staples have underperformed of late, says Masters, their relative valuations are still well above the average over the last 50 years. "In periods of stress, investors tend to prize stability and safety too much. But in time, investors discover that every investment carries with it some degree of risk: if not risk of loss, then risk of inadequate growth."

- Barron's Jack Hough says the "low beta" approach is a flawed one: First, volatility can change quickly as companies' or industries' fortunes shift; Second, beta tells one nothing about whether a stock's valuation is high or low. In a similar warning over low volatility stocks, BAML suggests looking for companies with smooth earnings rather than smooth stock prices. Screening for such, Hough finds CSX Corp (CSX -0.6%), DuPont (DD +0.6%), Cisco (CSCO -0.6%), and Halliburton (HAL -0.8%).

- "The low beta bubble is on the verge of deflating," says the quant team at BAML. "Due to low beta stocks' strong performance in an up market, these stocks have quietly become riskier than they appear."
- Looking at the relative valuations of the "low beta" vs. "high beta" names, the analysts find the staid stocks trading at their largest premium to the risky ones in more than a decade.

- "If history provides any guidance, there will be a shift to more cyclical, higher beta names, before this rally is well and truly over," says Niels Jensen of Absolute Return Partners, noting investors are buying in a "cowardly" fashion - focusing on defensive, low beta stocks.
- The trend can be seen in low volatility stocks - and the ETFs built to own them, SPLV and USMV - trading at P/E multiple premiums to the broader market, while a high beta portfolio like SPHB is at a discount.

- An MSCI study argues the low-volatility trade is a long way off from being a crowded one and says scalability isn't an issue, but the report, says Brendan Conway, didn't examine the market impact - i.e., the real world friction a large money manager might see moving in and out of positions.
- Then there's valuations - the study found low-volatility stocks had an average P-E ratio of 18.1x vs. 19.5x for all stocks from 1992-2012. But now the stocks making up the iShares MSCI USA Minimum Volatility ETF (USMV) trade at 18.5x earnings vs. the S&P 500 at 16.5x. Globally, it's similar, with the iShares MSCI All Country World Minimum Volatility ETF (ACWV) at 18.5x earnings vs. the MSCI ACWI ETF (ACWI) at just 16.5x.
- "[O]ver the past 10 years, the cheapness or 'valueness' of developed market low volatility stocks seems to have diminished. As of May 1, 2013, the earnings yield and B/P ratio data indicate that low volatility strategies have become more expensive than the market cap-weighted core indices," says Research Affiliates' FeiFei Li.

- It's the bull market everyone continues to hate ... BAML's sell-side indicator - a contrarian take based on attitudes of strategists - continues to read in extreme bearish territory, suggesting more gains ahead for stocks.

- As the taper approaches, it may be time to ring the register and book some gains, Barron's thinks. Add in the fact that the S&P's 26% YTD gain has "likely [left] many investors with a higher mix of stocks than they would prefer," and the issues isn't whether or not to sell, but rather "what to sell and where to put the cash."
- Food for thought from Jack Hough: "The S&P 500 trades above 17 times trailing earnings, versus a historical average of about 15 [and] U.S. shares are 57% more expensive than emerging markets and 67% more expensive than Europe" based on "a long-term average of earnings to adjust for cyclicality."
- Investors might want to consider putting small companies on the chopping block first, as they have outperformed their larger cap counterparts this year and their P/E premium to large caps has stretched well beyond its historical average.

- Investors poured another $12.4B into global equity funds in the week ended Wednesday, with BAML's Michael Hartnett saying another $8B-$9B of inflows over the next two weeks would trigger a contrarian sell signal in his firm's flow-based model.
- This would coincide with BAML's Bull & Bear Index, which is getting a little to bullish for comfort. Fund manager cash levels were at 4.4% in October. A dip below 4% in November, says Hartnett, would trigger a bright red Sell alert.

- Still coming to grips with the slightest hawkish twist to the FOMC statement yesterday afternoon, S&P 500 (SPY) futures are down 0.25% and the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) is off 0.45%. Facebook soared after a big earnings beat last night, then actually turned red during the earnings call, but is now higher by 3% in the premarket.
- Europe opened to the downside, but is now mostly higher, and Asia was solidly lower overnight.
- Treasury yields have regained some of their composure, the 10-year yield falling 3 basis points to 2.51%, after shooting higher yesterday afternoon post-statement. Gold's off 1% to $1,.335 per ounce.

Tuesday, Jul 232013, 12:01 PM"Some volatility is good," write researchers from Ned Davis after studying the results and finding low volatility strategies barely took the edge off big market declines in the mid-70s and mid-80s. Investors in SPLV or USMV who watched those funds underperform the SPY of late hardly need reminding of this. The study did not extend to global variants like EEMV and ACWV. |Tuesday, Jul 232013, 12:01 PM| Comment!
Monday, May 202013, 10:47 AM"High Beta" is hot with the PowerShares S&P 500 High Beta Portfolio (SPHB) pulling ahead of the Low Volatility Portfolio (SPLV) YTD after notably underperforming in Q1 and early Q2. Markets make opinions, and Sam Stovall thinks the momentum in high beta is set to continue as yield-starved investors look to capital gains instead of dividends. |Monday, May 202013, 10:47 AM| 1 Comment

Friday, Mar 222013, 2:29 PMBill Luby takes a look at the low volatility fad, checking the performance of the popular SPLV against the high beta SPHB. Over longer periods - and even in bull markets - low volatility appears to have a high probability of outperforming high beta, particularly when risk-adjusted. The biggest risk is a sharp bull move similar to the last few months in which high beta leaves the defensive stocks in the dust. |Friday, Mar 222013, 2:29 PM| Comment!

text: Future bookings at the Providence (RI) Convention Center increased 105% in 1997, reports the Providence Warwick Convention & Visitors Bureau. To achieve such growth, Providence has invested one billion dollars in reshaping the city. In addition to the new convention center, developments include a revitalization of the waterfront, a new downtown mall, and expansion of T.F. Green Airport. City leaders predict the boom will continue. Hotel occupancy rates have soared, and the city has attracted the interest of four hotel developers to meet the demand, says Mark Cestari, CVB president.*

Many hotel and convention center contract provisions can be difficult to understand, even for an experienced meeting planner, but the most confusing language is generally found under the heading "indemnification" or "hold harmless."
To understand this often complex provision, one must first understand what happens when someone is injured while attending a meeting or exhibition. If the victim's damages are not easily satisfied, a lawsuit is usually filed, and any party with any relationship to the injury is named as a defendant. As an example, the litigation that resulted from a deadly fire at the Station nightclub in West Warwick, R.I., in 2003 involved 73 defendants. Many did nothing to cause the injury, but they were named because a victim wanted a court to figure out who was at fault. But defending a lawsuit can be costly, and many venues do not like to pay legal fees for things for which they had no responsibility.
That's where indemnification comes in. The hotel or convention center asks the group to contractually agree to compensate it for any money it must spend to defend against a lawsuit caused by the group's actions.
That's the concept of indemnification. However, many clauses prepared by hotels and convention centers seek to have the group compensate the property for any loss it incurs, regardless of who causes the loss. The proposed contract language seeks to have the group take responsibility for the actions of its attendees and "anyone entering with the express or implied permission" of the group. Some provisions go so far as to state that the group must indemnify the hotel even if the hotel causes the loss.
How Can You Protect Yourself?
There are obvious problems with broad indemnification requirements, not the least of which is that the hotel could attempt to hold your company liable for the actions of individuals over whom you have no legal control, e.g., meeting attendees. Also, your insurer is not likely to cover damages caused by someone other than the company's officers, directors, and employees. So a planner who does not fully understand what he is signing might unwittingly commit the group to a potentially huge financial payout in the event of an injury.
Planners should attempt to eliminate the group's responsibility for anything that it does not cause or anyone it cannot control. Stating that the group will indemnify the hotel "except to the extent that the injury results from the negligence or willful misconduct of the hotel, its employees, agents, or subcontractors" is one solution.
Such exceptions should be crafted to include all hotel "negligence," not "sole negligence" or "gross negligence" because those terms have a precise legal meaning that is much more restrictive than simple "negligence."
Another approach is to try to limit indemnification to the amount of insurance carried by the group so that a catastrophic loss does not deplete the group's treasury.
Right Back Atcha
Where a venue requests a group's indemnification, the group should seek a similar indemnification provision from the venue, since the group could be included in any litigation that was occasioned by the negligence of the venue's employees. However, many convention centers, especially those owned by cities or other government entities, are prohibited by law from providing indemnification because it amounts to an open-ended financial commitment that has not been approved by the entity's governing body.
Indemnification should also be considered when contracting with outside vendors, such as tour operators, caterers, and audiovisual companies, to make sure the company is protected if the actions of one of these vendors lead to injury or property damage.
Another key element of indemnification to keep in mind is that it's only a promise to pay. Thus, the indemnification provision should, in most cases, be accompanied by a requirement to carry liability insurance in a specified amount, perhaps naming the other party as an additional insured on the policy.

Villa Grisebach has been the top-selling auction house for Modern Art in Germany since 1988, and has, ever since, remained the unchallenged market leader in German 20th century art. All of this would have been impossible without the great dedication of a highly professional team in each and every department.
Not only does Villa Grisebach reach record results, it also plays an important role in generating interest for German art around the world. Especially the worldwide appreciation for German Impressionism and Expressionism as well as Realism and Neue Sachlichkeit has risen substantially with the help of Villa Grisebach, a true authority in the field of Modern German art. Museums, private collectors, and academic institutes make use of the Berlin based auction houseâs competence on a regular basis.
The long-lasting success of Villa Grisebach is based on its strong ties with collectors in Germany and the rest of the world. Villa Grisebachâs database is filled with over 25,000 names of clients from Europe to the USA and from Japan to Australia. Offices for the auction house exist in Munich, Zurich, and New York, and representatives are located in Hamburg, Bielefeld, Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt and Stuttgart available for a discrete consultation and for appraisals of works of art.
