The African population consists of more than 120 ethnic groups, of which the Sukuma, Haya, Nyakyusa, Nyamwezi, and Chaga have more than 1 million members The majority of Tanzanians, including such large tribes as the Sukuma and the Nyamwezi are of Bantu stock. Groups of Nilotic or related origin include the nomadic Masai and the Luo, both of which are found in greater numbers in neighboring Kenya. Two small groups speak languages of the Khoisan family peculiar to the Bushman and Hottentot peoples. Cushitic-speaking peoples, originally from the Ethiopian highlands, reside in a few areas of Tanzania.
Although much of Zanzibar's African population came from the mainland, one group known as Shirazis traces its origins to the island's early Persian settlers. Non-Africans residing on the mainland and Zanzibar account for 1% of the total population. The Asian community, including Hindus, Sikhs, Shi'a and Sunni Muslims, and Goans, has declined by 50% in the past decade to 50,000 on the mainland and 4,000 on Zanzibar. An estimated 70,000 Arabs and 10,000 Europeans reside in Tanzania.
Each ethnic group has its own language, but the national language is Kiswahili, a Bantu-based tongue with strong Arabic borrowings.
Northern Tanganyika's famed Olduvai Gorge has provided rich evidence of the area's prehistory, including fossil remains of some of humanity's earliest ancestors. Discoveries suggest that East Africa may have been the site of human origin.
Little is known of the history of Tanganyika's interior during the early centuries of the Christian era. The area is believed to have been inhabited originally by ethnic groups using a click-tongue language similar to that of Southern Africa's Bushmen and Hottentots. Although remnants of these early tribes still exist, most were gradually displaced by Bantu farmers migrating from the west and south and by Nilotes and related northern peoples. Some of these groups had well-organized societies and controlled extensive areas by the time the Arab slavers, European explorers, and missionaries penetrated the interior in the first half of the 19th century.
The coastal area first felt the impact of foreign influence as early as the 8th century, when Arab traders arrived. By the 12th century, traders and immigrants came from as far away as Persia (now Iran) and India. They built a series of highly developed city and trading states along the coast, the principal one being Kibaha, a settlement of Persian origin that held ascendancy until the Portuguese destroyed it in the early 1500s.
The Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama explored the East African coast in 1498 on his voyage to India. By 1506, the Portuguese claimed control over the entire coast. This control was nominal, however, because the Portuguese did not colonize the area or explore the interior. Assisted by Omani Arabs, the indigenous coastal dwellers succeeded in driving the Portuguese from the area north of the Ruvuma River by the early 18th century. Claiming the coastal strip, Omani Sultan Seyyid Said (l804-56) moved his capital to Zanzibar in 1841.
European exploration of the interior began in the mid-19th century. Two German missionaries reached Mt. Kilimanjaro in the 1840s. British explorers Richard Burton and John Speke crossed the interior to Lake Tanganyika in 1857. David Livingstone, the Scottish missionary-explorer who crusaded against the slave trade, established his last mission at Ujiji, where he was "found" by Henry Morton Stanley, an American journalist-explorer, who had been commissioned by the New York Herald to locate him.
German colonial interests were first advanced in 1884. Karl Peters, who formed the Society for German Colonization, concluded a series of treaties by which tribal chiefs in the interior accepted German "protection." Prince Otto is von Bismarck's government backed Peters in the subsequent establishment of the German East Africa Company.
In 1886 and 1890, Anglo-German agreements were negotiated that delineated the British and German spheres of influence in the interior of East Africa and along the coastal strip previously claimed by the Omani sultan of Zanzibar. In 1891, the German Government took over direct administration of the territory from the German East Africa Company and appointed a governor with headquarters at Dar es Salaam.
Although the German colonial administration brought cash crops, railroads, and roads to Tanganyika, European rule provoked African's resistance, culminating in the Maji Maji rebellion of 1905-07. The rebellion, which temporarily united a number of southern tribes and ended only after an estimated 120,000 Africans had died from fighting or starvation, is considered by most Tanzanians to have been one of the first stirrings of nationalism.
German colonial domination of Tanganyika ended after World War I when control of most of the territory passed to the United Kingdom under a League of Nations mandate. After World War II, Tanganyika became a UN trust territory under British control. Subsequent years witnessed Tanganyika moving gradually toward self-government and independence.
In 1954, Julius K. Nyerere, a school teacher who was then one of only two Tanganyikans educated abroad at the university level, organized a political party--the Tanganyika African National Union (TANU). TANU-supported candidates were victorious in the Legislative Council elections of September 1958 and February 1959. In December 1959, the United Kingdom agreed to the establishment of internal self-government following general elections to be held in August 1960. Nyerere was named chief minister of the subsequent government.
In May l961, Tanganyika became autonomous, and Nyerere became Prime Minister under a new constitution. Full independence was achieved on December 9, 1961. Mr. Nyerere was elected President when Tanganyika became a republic within the Commonwealth a year after independence.
An early Arab/Persian trading center, Zanzibar fell under Portuguese domination in the 16th and early 17th centuries but was retaken by Omani Arabs in the early 18th century. The height of Arab rule came during the reign of Sultan Seyyid Said, who encouraged the development of clove plantations, using the island's slave labor.
The Arabs established their own garrisons at Zanzibar, Pemba, and Kilwa and carried on a lucrative trade in slaves and ivory. By 1840, Said had transferred his capital from Muscat to Zanzibar and established a ruling Arab elite. The island's commerce fell increasingly into the hands of traders from the Indian subcontinent, whom Said encouraged to settle on the island.
Zanzibar's spices attracted ships from as far away as the United States. A U.S. consulate was established on the island in 1837. The United Kingdom's early interest in Zanzibar was motivated by both commerce and the determination to end the slave trade. In 1822, the British signed the first of a series of treaties with Sultan Said to curb this trade, but not until 1876 was the sale of slaves finally prohibited.
The Anglo-German agreement of 1890 made Zanzibar and Pemba a British protectorate. British rule through a Sultan remained largely unchanged from the late 19th century until after World War II.
Zanzibar's political development began in earnest after 1956, when provision was first made for the election of six nongovernment members to the Legislative Council. Two parties were formed: the Zanzibar Nationalist Party (ZNP), presenting the dominant Arab and "Arabized" minority and the Afro-Shirazi Party (ASP), led by Abaid Karume and representing the Shirazis and the African majority.
The first elections were held in July 1957. The ASP won three of the six elected seats, with the remainder going to independents. Following the election, the ASP split; some of its Shirazi supporters left to form the Zanzibar and Pemba People's Party (ZPPP). The January 1961 election resulted in a deadlock between the ASP and a ZNP-ZPPP coalition.
On April 26,1964, Tanganyika union with Zanzibar to form the United Republic of Tanganyika and Zanzibar, renamed the United Republic of Tanzania on October 29.
United Republic of Tanzania
TANU and the Afro-Shirazi Party of Zanzibar were merged into a single party (Chama cha Mapinduzi-CCM Revolutionary Party) on February 5, 1977. On April 26, 1977, the union of the two parties was ratified in a new constitution. The merger was reinforced by principles enunciated in the 1982 union constitution and reaffirmed in the constitution of 1984.
The elections that followed the granting of self-government in June 1963 produced similar results. Zanzibar received its independence from the United Kingdom on December 19, 1963, as a constitutional monarchy under the sultan. On January 12, 1964, the African majority revolted against the sultan and a new government was formed with the ASP leader, Abeid Karume, as President of Zanzibar and Chairman of the Revolutionary Council. Under the terms of its political union with Tanganyika in April 1964, the Zanzibar Government retained considerable local autonomy.
In 1977, Nyerere merged TANU with the Zanzibar ruling party, the ASP, to form the CCM as the sole ruling party in both parts of the union. The CCM was to be the sole instrument for mobilizing and controlling the population in all significant political or economic activities. He envisioned the party as a "two-way street" for the flow of ideas and policy directives between the village level and the government.
President Nyerere stepped down from office and was succeeded as President by Ali Hassan Mwinyi in 1985. Nyerere retained his position as Chairman of the ruling party for 5 more years and was influential in Tanzanian politics until his death in October 1999. The current President, Benjamin Mkapa, was elected in 1995 and will stand for re-election in nationwide balloting scheduled for October 2000. Zanzibar President Salmin Amour was elected in single-party elections in 1990. In 1995, he was named the winner of Zanzibar's first multi-party elections, a victory widely deemed to have been tainted by fraud. He is not eligible to run for a third term.
The unicameral National Assembly elected in 1995 has 275 members, 232 of whom are from the mainland and Zanzibar. There are 37 appointed seats for women, and each political party receives a proportion of appointed seats commensurate with the number of constituency seats won. Also, five members are elected by the Zanzibar House of Representatives to participate in the National Assembly. At present, the ruling CCM holds about 80% of the seats in the Assembly. Laws passed by the National Assembly are valid for Zanzibar only in specifically designated union matters.
Zanzibar's House of Representatives has jurisdiction over all nonunion matters. There are currently 76 members in the House of Representatives in Zanzibar, including 50 elected by the people, 10 appointed by the president of Zanzibar, 5 exofficio members, 10 women appointed by political parties commensurate with constituency seats won, and an attorney general appointed by the president. Zanzibar's House of Representatives can make laws for Zanzibar without the approval of the union government. The terms of office for Zanzibar's president and House of Representatives also are 5 years. The semiautonomous relationship between Zanzibar and the union is a relatively unique system of government.
Tanzania has a five-level judiciary combining the jurisdictions of tribal, Islamic, and British common law. Appeal is from the primary courts through the district courts, resident magistrate courts, to the high courts, and Court of Appeals. Judges are appointed by the Chief Justice, except those for the Court of Appeals and the High Court who are appointed by the president The Zanzibari court system parallels the legal system of the union, and all cases tried in Zanzibari courts, except for those involving constitutional issues and Islamic law, can be appealed to the Court of Appeals of the union. A commercial court was established in September 1999 as a division of the High Court.
For administrative purposes, Tanzania is divided into 25 regions--20 on the mainland, 3 on Zanzibar, and 2 on Pemba. Ninety-nine district councils have been to further increase local authority. Of the 99 councils operating in 86 districts,19 are urban and 80 are rural. The 19 urban units are classified further as city (Dar es Salaam), municipal (Arusha, Dodoma, Tanga), and town councils (the remaining 15 communities).
Tanzania maintains an embassy in the United States at 2139 R Street NW, Washington, DC 20008 (tel. 202-939-6125.)
President Mkapa, Vice President Omar Ali Juma, Prime Minister Fredrick Sumaye, and National Assembly members will serve until the next general elections in 2000. Similarly, Zanzibar President Salmin Amour and members of the Zanzibar House of Representatives also will complete their terms of office in 2000.
The Tanzanian Government agreed to a new 3-year Enhanced Structural Adjustment Facility (ESAF) arrangement with the International Monetary Fund in November 1996. Tanzania also embarked on a major restructuring of state-owned enterprises. The program has so far divested 275 out off some 425 parastatal entities. Overall, real economic growth has averaged about 4% a year, much better than the previous 20 years, but not enough to improve the lives of average Tanzanians. Also, the economy remains overwhelmingly donor-dependent. Moreover, Tanzania has an external debt of over $8 billion. The servicing of this debt absorbs about 40% of total government expenditures. Tanzania has qualified for debt relief under the enhanced Highly Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative.
Agriculture dominates the economy, providing more than 60% of GDP and 80% of employment. Cash crops, including coffee, tea, cotton, cashews, sisal, cloves, and pyrethrum account for the vast majority of export earnings. The volume of all major crops--both cash and goods, which have been marketed through official channels--have increased over the past few years, but large amounts of produce never reach the market. Poor pricing and unreliable cash flow to farmers continue to frustrate the agricultural sector.
Accounting for only about 10% of GDP, Tanzania's industrial sector is one of the smallest in Africa. It has been hit hard recently by persistent power shortages caused by low rainfall in the hydroelectric dam catchment area, a condition compounded by years of neglect and bad management at the state-controlled electric company.
The main industrial activities include producing raw materials, import substitutes, and processed agricultural products. Foreign exchange shortages and mismanagement continue to deprive factories of much-needed spare parts and have reduced factory capacity to less than 30%.
Despite Tanzania's past record of political stability, an unattractive investment climate has discouraged foreign investment. Government steps to improve that climate include redrawing tax codes, floating the exchange rate, licensing foreign banks, and creating an investment promotion center to cut red tape. In terms of mineral resources and the largely untapped tourism sector, Tanzania could become a viable and attractive market for U.S. goods and services.
Zanzibar's economy is based primarily on the production of cloves (90% grown on the island of Pemba), the principal foreign exchange earner. Exports have suffered with the downturn in the clove market. Tourism is an increasingly promising sector, and a number of new hotels and resorts have been built in recent years.
The Government of Zanzibar has been more aggressive than its mainland counterpart in instituting economic reforms and has legalized foreign exchange bureaus on the islands. This has loosened up the economy and dramatically increased the availability of consumer commodities. Furthermore, with external funding, the government plans to make the port of Zanzibar a free port. Rehabilitation of current port facilities and plans to extend these facilities will be the precursor to the free port. The island's manufacturing sector is limited mainly to import substitution industries, such as cigarettes, shoes, and process agricultural products. In 1992, the government designated two export-producing zones and encouraged the development of offshore financial services. Zanzibar still imports much of its staple requirements, petroleum products, and manufactured articles.
Tanzania enjoys good relations with its neighbors in the region and in recent years has been an active participant in efforts to promote the peaceful resolution of disputes. Tanzania is helping to broker peace talks to end conflict in Burundi and supports the Lusaka agreement concerning the conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In March 1996 Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya revived discussion of economic and regional cooperation. These talks culminated with the signing of an East African Cooperation Treaty in September 1999, which should in time lead to economic integration. Tanzania is the only country in East Africa which also is a member of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC).
The Peace Corps program, revitalized in 1979, provides assistance in education through the provision of teachers. Peace Corps also is assisting in health and environment sectors. Currently, about 95 volunteers are serving in Tanzania.
The U.S. embassy in Tanzania is located on Kinondoni Road, Dar es Salaam. The consulate on Zanzibar was closed on June 15, 1979.

Energy Benefits of Plantation Shutters
Aside from instantly raising the elegance factor in any room and the overall value of a home, plantation shutters provide several other benefits. Chief among them are energy savings. At a time when trimming costs is in vogue and conserving energy is on the top of every homeowner's mind, having plantation shutters installed in your home is an easy choice.
- Keep Cool in the Summer
- Stay Warm in the Winter
- Slash Energy Bills
Keep Cool in the Summer with Plantation Shutters
Eclipse™ Shutters have pockets of air designed into the louver and frame. This construction virtually eliminates solar heat gain during the summer months, making plantation shutters extremely energy efficient. Ultraviolet protection means the sun's strong rays reflect back instead of being absorbed into the home.
Did you know? You might be losing 25-50 percent of the energy you put into heating or cooling your home through the windows! Find your local plantation shutters dealer and start saving money now!
Plantation Shutters Keep Heat Inside in the Winter
Closing plantation shutters against cold winter drafts does more than make a room seem cozy--it can actually make it warmer. Since so much of a home's heat is lost through poorly insulated windows, plantation shutters provide another barrier that helps keep heat where it belongs; inside.
Reduce Energy Costs with Energy Efficient Plantation Shutters
Making your home more energy efficient will help you save money on your heating and cooling bills. Having plantation shutters installed will allow you to keep the harsh sunlight and heat out of the house during the summer, as well as keep you and your family warm and cozy all winter long. During more temperate seasons, like Spring and Fall, you can control airflow, which helps to regulate the home's temperature. Simply by adjusting the louvers, you might be able to put off turning on the AC or heat a few weeks longer than you expected!

Strengthen the Kidneys Naturally
Strengthening the kidneys is an important step for diabetics because one of the vital organs that are put under duress is the kidneys when the body does not produce enough or produces too much insulin. Natural ways to strengthen the kidneys have been used for centuries and doctors still recommend these treatments even before they prescribe medicine to unblock a kidney or dissolve a kidney stone. Save the cost of the doctor visit and the time you would have to sit there by doing exactly what the urologist will tell you to do, drink LOTS of water and add cranberries and cranberry juice to your diet. The easiest way to deal with kidney stones is to get them to flush out of the body's system. This is done with the water and the cranberry or the juice of the cranberry. There are other natural ways to strengthen your kidneys and prevent or treat problems with your kidneys. We will discuss the natural ways you can strengthen your kidneys and deal with problems you may encounter in your life from your kidneys.
Kidneys are the Filtration system
The kidneys are one of the poison and waste filtration centers in our body. In some ways the kidneys are truly a waste water treatment plant right inside our bodies. Excessive uric acid and kidney stones can make the rest of our body react violently to malfunction in the kidneys. The main job of the kidneys is to filter all the liquids that we consume and send it to the digestive tract and bladder. The nutrients and minerals the kidneys separate out from the liquids are sent to nourish our body through the digestive tract. The poisons are sent through the urinary tract. When there are problems with the function of our kidneys, the natural way to help treat the problem is by drinking teas that will heal and flush at the same time. Here is a list of some of the teas that the Chinese have used for centuries to improve their health:
Plantain leaf
Joe-Pye Weed
Here are some ways to strengthen your kidneys:
Eat foods that are full of fiber but have little protein, salt or calcium. This lessens your chances of developing kidney stones.
If you have a Urinary Tract Infection flush your system with water and cranberry juice. A diuretic tea made of dandelion or corn silk will also help unblock the urinary tract and the body to flush out the excess water from your system.
Regular exercise is another way you can strengthen your kidneys and keep waste products moving. This prevents the clumping that can happen to waste matter that forms kidney stones.

So, it would be one thing if Steven Rattner's firm was the only one accused of being tied up in a "pay to play" scandal for access to New York's pension funds. It isn't. Neither is Riverstone Holdings the only other fund stuck in the "fund my shitty movie distribution and I'll send few hundred million your way" morass.
The New York Attorney General on Thursday charged Aldus Equity Partners managing partner Saul Meyer with violating the Martin Act. He surrendered to authorities and bail was set at $200,000.
Also on Thursday, the Securities and Exchange Commission asked a federal judge to add Aldus and Mr. Meyer as defendants in its complaint in the New York state pension fund investigation.
Paul Shechtman, Mr. Meyer's lawyer, said: "I learned years ago that it's far easier for a prosecutor to file a complaint than to prevail at trial. … It's true and the evidence will show that Saul Meyer did no wrong."

text: Tuesday, October 4, 2011 at 2:00PM I'm sure our friends have been following our stories about the fantastic dive trips we have enjoyed this season but I want to share the news about one of our newest adventures. Fishing off shore for Tuna. The Big Red Boats size and design enable it to respond to any demand. On Wednesday afternoon Sept. 29 the John Jack loaded up with several thousand dollars worth of fishing gear, a ton of ice and 8 flats of bait. After a 90 mile sprint to the off shore Canyons and big fish territory, baiting and chumming began and poles were set into motion. What a night!! Having shared the excitement of diving to some of the most respected wrecks on the east coast and exploring caves of Mexico and reefs of the South Pacific I didn't think anything would get my blood flowing like the first big fish we hauled on the boats back deck. Using standing tackle wrestling a Hugh Sword Fish onto the deck was a new high. It was like living in a movie script when it was pulled aboard with it's 2 foot long bill and tremendous body size. It didn't fit in the 6 foot long coffin cooler put on the deck for the catch. After pulling several yellow fin a long fin took the hook and after more than 20 min's of working him he was also put on the deck. Over 90 pounds of tuna can make your arms feel like soup noodles. Several more fish including a pile of Mahi Mahi filled the coolers as we headed back to the Point. Talk about one exciting evening. Join us for one of our fishing trips and learn fishing from one of the several guides we have sailing with us that love to share their experiences and tell you how to land the big ones. Call me for your spot. Captain Rich

An Interview with Michael Poulsen of Volbeat - Kool Haus, Toronto - June 18th, 2012
Conducted at the Kool Haus, Toronto June 18th, 2012
Interview & Photos by Mike Bax
One of the bands on the Orion Music + More Festival I'm most looking forward to seeing (aside from Metallica) is Volbeat. Volbeat touched down in Toronto to start a lengthy run of North American tour dates with HellYeah and Iced Earth on June 18th. A conflict in shows in Toronto prevented me from seeing Volbeat on this evening, but knowing I would be seeing the band this coming weekend at Orion eased the pain of missing them live in Toronto.
Ironically, it was easier to do press here in Toronto than it would be in Atlantic City at Orion. While talking with Volbeat's tour manager before this interview, he said the press interest for Volbeat at Orion was crazy. I was super lucky to be able to stroll into the Kool Haus, sit down with lead singer and guitarist Michael Poulsen for twenty minutes and not feel rushed in chatting with him. I can't imagine trying to do this interview on the weekend at Orion, and I likely would have gotten half the time, another band-member, and a wash of background noise.
We did the interview in the backstage area of the Kool Haus. Michael had a retro Iced Earth tour shirt on and was tinkering around with a guitar and amp and a recording device when I walked into the room and greeted him.
MB: It's great to see you back in Toronto.
MP: Thank you. It's great to be back here.
MB: If I have my information correct, this will be the second time you have started a tour off in Toronto.
MP: Really?
MB: I think Heavy T.O. last year was you starting a run of dates in North America as well.
MP: Ok.
MB: Do you like it here, or is it just a starting place of convenience for Volbeat?
MP: Well, what we've quickly found out is that the fans in Canada are really good Volbeat fans. We've been here a couple of times now and I can't really remember any band shows here in Canada. And Toronto has always been really good. It's going to be really good to start this tour here. It's something we've been looking forward to.
MB: How long will the tour keep you on the road in North America?
MP: I think this will be five and half weeks; something close to that.
MB: That's a good run.
MP: Yeah, it's ok.
MB: Nice touring line-up too - diversified.
MP: Totally. This line-up I'm really digging it. I'm very proud of it, because when we decided to do this run, our touring management sent out emails to different booking agencies saying that this Volbeat run was going to happen, and that they (we) were looking for support bands. There were some really great names on that list. I was surprised because many of the names on the list that came back could easily do their own run, you know? That was a huge compliment. When I saw Iced earth and HellYeah were on the list, I went "What!?" I'm a huge Iced Earth fan. I'm really good friends with Jon Schaffer. For some time now we've been talking about doing something together, but I wanted to bring Iced Earth to Europe. We play arenas in Europe and it would be cool to have Iced Earth with us there. Iced Earth can headline themselves in America, and do well… do really well. So I was feeling, "You guys don't have to support us". The same thing goes for HellYeah. They've got something cooking now, and they of course have Vinnie Paul. They're our good friends as well and they do good albums.
The whole thing was that we're friends with those guys. I think they all felt like, "We didn't care if it was a supporting show. We just want to play with you guys. It's a great package". We'd been talking about doing this, but every time I brought it up I was talking about Europe. Now that they want to do it in the USA, it's a compliment to us that they want to do it together. We're very, very thankful for that. It's going to be great - great to be among bands that you like and that you like personally. It's friends, and it's really nice.
MB: I've had the unique opportunity to see you in Europe and here in North America. I know that your following is just growing here, but every show you've done in Toronto has been a bigger show. Mod Club, Sound Academy; you're coming here (Kool Haus) to headline – all gradually bigger shows. Your audience seems to be growing every time you come to town so you're doing something right.
MP: It seems like it. That's basically, as you said, the way we've been when we come back. The venues are getting bigger and there are more crowds and more ticket sales. Hopefully it's because people talk together and say, "Check this band out'. We've been very actively touring America and Canada the last couple of years. It seems like we've got something going. We're very proud of it. It couldn't be better than to start here.
MB: Like many people in North America, I was introduced to Volbeat at a Metallica show.
MP: Oh yeah, that's where it actually started because not many people knew who we were at that certain time. There was some underground buzz going on, but after those shows with Metallica, that's when people starting talking like, "Wow, that opening band was actually pretty good". So they started coming to the Volbeat shows when we started headlining and they'd say, "The first time I saw you was at Metallica". That's the biggest promotional tour and band that you can go out with; the biggest heavy rock band in the world. They're great guys. We still are very inspired by those guys. For us, it was good to be part of that package. A lot of guys came back to us and said that they first saw us at a Metallica show.
MB: They're not an easy band to open for, either.
MP: No. You know, there are certain bands that you just cannot open for, like Metallica, Slayer, and bands like that. But we had a good run and we felt very comfortable. We knew we were going into a heavy task, but we really had a good time.
MB: You did a really smart thing when you were opening for them. You stopped one of your songs and you played about a minute of 'Master Of Puppets' (I think), and then flipped back into the song you were originally playing.
MP: We did? (Laughs) Ok.
MB: So from where I was standing – I was in the crowd of people… and they are all like this (I cross my arms and stand stoically posed) waiting for you to finish; waiting for Lamb of God to finish… waiting for Metallica to come on. And you play, sound perfect, one minute worth of a song they KNOW, and the whole crowd just erupted into: "Right on – you guys can play!" And I think that if nothing else, that probably won over the majority of Metallica fans because if you can do their (Metallica's) music great, then they should also be paying attention to the music you make as well.
MP: Yeah, you know, it's not like I really remember the situation, but sometimes stuff just happens. But yeah, that's the whole beauty of it. You know you're going in there. You know people are waiting for Metallica, but if we, during halfway through the set can win them over, then we can nod and look them in the eye and know that they were having a good time. That's all worth it, you know. We're not trying to ruin anything for them, you know? We're there for 45 minutes and we do our job and we did it really well. It seems like the greatest challenge is to play for the people who are really going to just stand there, like you said. And when the set is over and they cheer, not because it's over, but because you did something good for them – that's when you really feel good when you walk off the stage. "Well, we did it. We convinced them without being something that we are not. We were ourselves - no posers, no bullshit - being who we are and appreciating being on stage." That's where we won over a lot of people.
MB: I don't know a lot about your early days - how you disbanded Dominus and how you decided to form a band that was a little more influenced by country music and rockabilly. How did that come about, and what were your thoughts behind that decision?
MP: Um, I've always been listening to a lot of music from the fifties. That was because of my parents. They were always playing it in the house where we lived. My father was a big collector of Elvis records and videos. The Elvis songs were always in the house, you know? He was also listening to a lot of Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino and a little bit of Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, and stuff like that. All the performers from the fifties, he was really into, and those songs just became the songs we were listening to. Later on as a teenager, one of my big sisters got a boyfriend who was listening to heavy metal. He was listening to Dio, Black Sabbath and Rainbow and Metallica and Maiden. I started to look at those album covers and think, "Wow, that looks pretty tough, scary and interesting." I started to really go into the underground scene and find out what I liked and what I didn't like; finding all of the underground magazines. I formed my own death metal band called Dominus and started tape trading; being a part of that whole underground family. That was some really cool interesting days, promoting your band with just flyers and sending letters out. There was no internet, so it was all about tape trading, and trading flyers and everything. We released four albums, and I could definitely sense in myself that after four records with Dominus, those melodies from the fifties would keep on popping up. I couldn't really do anything about it in Dominus, because Dominus was more death metal.
MB: Yes, you'd already established your sound.
MP: Yeah. I wouldn't fool around with the fans so its better to just say goodbye to Dominus and let it go. And then I just started writing songs, other songs that became Volbeat songs. That was more about just trying to get all of those melodies out of my head - the fifties melodies. Again, I wanted to stay with the sound I had in Dominus, with distorted guitars and double bass drums and I thought, "Well, since you really can't figure out if you want to be 100% this or 100% that, why be 100% of anything? Just play. If you like the sound you have, then use that sound and just write some songs." That's what I did. A lot of songs we could have intros that sound like country, burst into a metal song, and then it became punk, and suddenly it was rockabilly. You know, all those styles blended together, and that was because I was listening to all that music. The love of it was just the same. There isn't something in there I love more than the other. I listen to all of it. It really didn't matter what music it was as long as it did something to me. I was trying to write songs where I could put all these things in the same band. For me, it was never important when I came up with Volbeat, it was never important that it be 100% metal. It was all about: "this is Volbeat and we blend it all together. We know it sounds ridiculous on paper, but actually it works out pretty good live.
MB: It doesn't sound ridiculous like at all.
MP: So why change anything? It was all about playing something that we thought was fun and that felt right and felt honest. That's what we did. We started at small clubs and playing for 50 people and now we play arenas with 16,000. I think the accomplishment and street credibility and our unwillingness to change anything – maybe we were just there at the right time, but we also like to believe that we brought something different to the table.
MB: I think you should believe that, because I think that you did.
MP: We started to believe it after the second record. People said that it was very unique. I mean, we don't think so. We know where we got all the stuff from, but…
MB: But nobody else was doing it…
MP: That's just called inspiration, you know? It's been going really good since then. All the inspirations when it comes to the fifties are definitely something to do with my parents because they were always playing that kind of music, and then later on as a teenager discovering the heavy metal scene. And besides that, I was listening to whatever my friends had. If I heard something I liked, I would say, "That's a good song.". I was never embarrassed about it being a pop song by whomever. It was all about whether it was a good song or not. That's how I like to work in Volbeat. There are no limitations. I am always seeking for that melody. It is what it is. Music should be about a passion and that's what it is.
MB: Like many people, I'm going to be heading to Orion Music + More on the weekend.
MP: Yeah.
MB: I think it will be great to check you out down there.
MP: Oh yeah.
MB: The press picture that is on the Orion website just has yourself, Anders and Jon. I'm assuming that Thomas is no longer in the band?
MP: Yeah, we said goodbye to Thomas…
MB: I'm sorry to hear that.
MP: Oh, yeah. Shit happens. We were about to go on the Gigantour with Megadeth and Motorhead. That was early this year.
MB: It was February for us here in Hamilton.
MP: Yes. Stuff happens. People just have to separate, you know? It's just like a marriage. You can work on it and you can try to save it and you can really try to figure out what it is and everything, but sometimes its best that people just separate. It's something like that with bands, too. Sometimes it really works and other times it doesn't. I cannot go into details, because it doesn't really help anything.
MB: That's fair. What I wanted to know was whether Hank (Shermann) was going to play with you on this tour or not?
MP: Oh, yes, Hank is with us. He's been playing with us since Gigantour. We'd just gotten home and we had only been home for a few weeks. There was not time to find a new guitar player. We have only been hiring hank as a stand-in guitar player because he's busy with his own thing.
MB: It's good though. You had Mike (Denner) do guest vocals on your last album.
MP: What? Oh, Michael (Denner), yes. Yeah, he was playing some guitars with us, yes.
MB: There's a connection…
MP: Denner, he recommended Hank when I said we needed a player. I'm a very close friend to Michael Denner and he heard that I fired Thomas and he said, "You should ask Hank to help you out if you're in trouble here. He might be the guy to do that."
MB: That's cool that it worked out.
MP: Yeah, I'm a huge Merciful Fate fan.
MB: Me too.
MP: And a King Diamond fan. (Laughter) So having the opportunity to have Hank with us is great.
MB: Now, if I look at your past release schedule for your last four albums… it's about that time…
Are you working on some new stuff?
MP: Yeah, yeah. That's actually why I have this amp over there (indicates towards an amp, recorder and guitar to our left). Because when I'm not doing the interviews or whatever, I'm actually composing and writing. So there is some stuff stored in that amp there, so there is a lot of writing backstage. When I come home I'll put it all together. Now and then we jam a little bit during sound checks. We definitely have a lot of new material that we're working on. When this tour is over we have a festival show in Germany. When that is over we will use a half year to write the songs, finish the songs and then get into the studio and hopefully early next year there will be a new album.
MB: Right on. I'm looking forward to that.
MP: Thank you.
MB: One thing that I like on your albums is that you don't really go completely away from your roots. You'll bring in a guest vocalist or guitarist. I like that. Do you think you will continue with that as you go into your fifth album?
MP: Uh, I don't know, because right now I'm only in a writing process. Things can change so much when you're about to close it all in. I think that songs have to come naturally. It has to come in a natural flow. I don't want to force anything. We did this song with Barney from Napalm Death – it just popped up and it seemed right to have him on the song. It's all about the inspiration and the songs themselves. On the last album Beyond Hell we didn't have any ballads. We have them on the three other records. We get asked why we didn't have a ballad on the album, but it just didn't feel right on this one, you know?
MB: But you have that nice little thank you song at the end, basically thanking your fans, which I think is cool. I mean, it's not a ballad, but it's still…
MP: I know what you mean, but that's how it works. I like things to come naturally. I don't want to force anything. On the other way around – when I have the first half of an album written, I almost always know what the second half is going to sound like. No matter what, there will always be riffs or a sound in there that would remind you of my past. I definitely think that on the next record, and I can't say 100% yes to this, but there should be some death metal. There will be elements of death metal influence.
MB: Right on. I would love to know some of the stories around some of the tattoos that you have. You're covered - chest, arms; the works. Do you have any stories about some of them? Do they mean anything special to you?
MP: Oh yeah, I definitely think that if you get a tattoo you should be able to sit down and tell a story about it afterwards. These modern days, I think there are a lot of youngsters who don't really know why they are getting their tattoos. They're just getting them because they think that it looks good. They should get them for what they mean. For me, it's always important to have a story to tell about them if I want to get a tattoo. So I have lots of stories and I cannot finish them all today.
MB: Of course not. You have a lot of stories on you.
MP: I have my wife's name here (base of his forearm, above his hand) and on the other side (same place on his other forearm) it says 'Little E' and then you can ask who is 'Little E'? I was asking that same question when we were on the Metallica tour. James Hetfield came into our dressing room and said, "Where's Little E?" and one of the guys said, "Little E? I don't know who that is?" So Hetfield says, "Oh come on! Where's Little E?" So they ask: "Who's Little E?" And Hetfield says, "That's Michael:Little Elvis, man."
He came in with a huge Elvis painting that he just bought in the city and he brought it into me and said, "Hey Little E, this is Big E!" So he gave me the name Little E and I got it tattooed here, as you can see. I've got Elvis' dog tags from the army here (upper left tricep). I've got an eagle here on my hand which my father has tattooed on his chest. He passed away over three years ago now. So it says 'Daddy'. He had the same eagle there and this is his name, Jern, right here (on his fingers just below the knuckles). This one here says 'Mother' and this is my mother's name. That's a good way to go to work. When I hit the strings, I feel like I have my parents with me.
MB: Nice. You have a constant reminder of them right there.
MP: There's a good story with this eagle right here. The first time I was in Memphis, I actually got married at Graceland, a couple of years ago…
Mike: Nice!
MP: They have their own chapel there. But the first time I was in Memphis I rented a car and I wanted to go to Tupelo, Mississippi, where Elvis was born. While I was driving there was this eagle that kept on following me. I thought: "Wow, that's pretty cool." Suddenly the navigation system turns off and that was the first time I was driving a car in the US. I wondered: "What do I do now?" I only had the address on a navigation system. Of course, there are signs and whatnot, but you can get a little bit confused, right? I just had luck with that eagle. I just followed the eagle as it took a right, and that's what I did with my car and when I was looking up a sign said Tupelo, Mississippi. I like to believe that was my father's spirit showing me the way, and I said that I wanted to get that eagle tattooed on my arm when I got home. So that's what I did. So that's some of the stories. I also have some Johnny Cash stuff. I'm inspired by him as well. I definitely think that if you decide to get a tattoo that you should at least get something where you can tell a small story. Why you did it and where you were at that certain time, you know? It will mean something to you for the rest of your life.
Great Interview, Thanks
Found out about Volbeat about 3 years ago, and have since picked up all four CDs and the live Blu-Ray disk.
These guys are amazing, love to crank the albums up, every song is great. Can't wait for a new LP next year.
Thanks for the interview.

Central Minnesota Farmer Builds Giant 50-Foot-Tall Snowman [VIDEO]
For the last month and a half, Foley farmer Greg Novak has been busy building a 50-foot tall snowman.

Well we didn't get any snow for Christmas in Yakima Valley and guess what, I am OK with that. But I do like to go sledding! Since we can't we used the alternative! The KATS Star Case! HA
Well then, this is crazy weather heading to Seattle on Snoqualmie Pass! Traction tires are advised if you need to go that way! Who knew that you might have to chain up on April 29th!
Over the weekend, heavy snow at Snoqualmie Pass has caused some avalanches.
Just last week, nearly 6,000 people gathered in Seattle, Washington, to set the world's record for the largest snowball fight ever put together. The event was held during the city's "Snow Day" and went well into the night, proving that being pelted in the face by freezing balls of ice was just about the best thing people could think to do on their Saturday.
Although the first official day of winter is still a little more than a week away (December 21st), Yakima generally has had some significant snowfall by this time.
This just in from Yakima Mayor Micah Cawley:

on June 3, 2013Last Friday, in our usual weekend sign-off, we dealt together with the awful vengeance of the Beavers Of Belarus, who are going all Roger Corman on the human population because...well, who the hell knows why beavers do what they do, anyway?
However, and I say this as someone who worked for a Rupert Murdoch tabloid for seven years, I would have ended by career happily on the spot if I could've written one headline like this one:
Far-Right Extremists Chased Through London by Women Dressed as Badgers
Shortly after lunch, a die-hard core of around 50 BNP and EDL supporters was confronted outside parliament by hundreds of activists from anti-extremist groups including Unite Against Fascism and Hope Not Hate. But in the event, both groups were upstaged by agitators of a different stripe. Decked out from head to toe in black and white, the group that won the day were campaigning neither for race war nor ethnic equality, but an end to the government's cull on badgers. And it was the pro-badger campaigners who appeared to steal a march on the political activists. Young women dressed in fake fur were seen chasing doughty nationalist supporters down London's Whitehall as a large number of security forces in iridescent jackets looked on from police lines.
Personally, I don't think we're anywhere near as imaginative as we need to be in employing ridicule in our politics. One person dressed as a badger might just redeem Meet The Press.

Originally I had my heart set on classic white subway tiles and sort of planned my kitchen with that in mind. Now that the cabinets are made and the the granite is paid for I'm starting to doubt the subway tiles. I'm just afraid that I'll get bored with them. I've also just started loving subway tiles, for years I thought if I were to redo a kitchen I'd do mosaics. I thought if I could find a solid white linear mosaic it would be a perfect compromise, but so far no luck. I did find a linear mosaic in calacatta oro marble which is beautiful and in our price range, but I'm afraid it might be too busy with the granite. Any ideas? Am I over thinking this? Should I just go with the white subways? My kitchen is white shaker cabinets with chocolate island and a light Giallo Ornamental granite. Stainless appliances including stainless hood and satin nickel pulls, knobs, and pendant lights |

I just put the light GO in a guest bath with a dark-stained vanity. I'm pulling the gray-blues out of the granite. The walls are BM Silver Mist, and I found a mosaic tile with brown, cream, and shades of blue gray. I think mosaic could be too busy in a kitchen with GO. You might try some of the soft gray or gray-blue ceramic or glass tiles. It will look nice with your chocolate island and the white cabs. |

I would be interested in some feedback, too. I am ordering toffee maple cabinets in shaker style, and have black and stainless appliances (including a stainless apron sink). I am considering the Giallo Ornamental granite and would also love to know what backsplash would go nicely with this. Thanks! |

Can you post a pic of your kitchen? |
We are just finishing our new kitchen, white shaker cabinets and giallo ornamental granite which was just installed 2 days ago and is absolutely gorgeous!! I fell in love with travertine, so we are going with the tumbled imperial cream subway 3x6 tiles. I was going to do the mosaic picasso for behind the range but was worried it would be too busy. I am adding a link to a picture on houzz with the GO and a mosaic backsplash that is breathtaking. From experience, if you decide on the mosaic or any travertine for that matter, I would ask for a sample from the lot you would be getting so you can see the range of colors and see if it would be too busy or not, it is amazing how the colors can vary from the tile stores samples they have. Good luck! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Mosaic backsplash with GO

HEMET, Calif. (AP) - Riverside County sheriff's officials say a man and two teen boys have been arrested in the stabbing death of a 16-year-old boy on a street in Hemet.
The Riverside Press-Enterprise reports (http://bit.ly/W9Uq9O) the suspects in custody on Thursday are 20-year-old Francisco Zavala and a 15-year-old and a 17-year-old whose names were not released because of their age.
Witnesses told authorities that three or four people stabbed Eric Sargeant Jr. late Monday afternoon.
He was flown to Riverside County Regional Medical Center where he died about five hours after the attack.
Zavala's bail has been set at $1 million. The teens were booked into Juvenile Hall.

Epidemiological Profile of HIV/AIDS in Minnesota
Risk Populations: African Americans
Download this document: (PDF: 322KB/2 pages) or (MS Word: 52KB/2 pages)
HIV/AIDS Prevalence among African Americans
While African Americans account for 4 percent of the total population in Minnesota, they make up 22 percent of the number of people living with HIV/AIDS in Minnesota. As of December 31st, 2012 there were 1,646 African Americans living with HIV/AIDS in Minnesota.
HIV Diagnoses among African Americans
In 2012, there were 77 HIV diagnoses among African Americans in Minnesota accounting for 24 percent of all HIV infection diagnoses.
Of those 77 HIV diagnoses, 60 (78%) were African American males while 17 (22%) were African American females. The annual number of cases for African American males peaked in 1992 at 78 and gradually decreased to 33 in 2003. During the past several years the number of cases in this group has trended upwards, with 60 new HIV diagnoses in 2012. This represents a 40 percent increase among African-American males from 2011 to 2012. Since 2001, the annual number of new infections diagnosed among African American females has increased slightly overall, although without a clear pattern from year to year. In 2012 there were 17 cases diagnosed among African American women, compared to 21 in 2011.
Mode of Exposure
Of the 162 African American males diagnosed between 2010 and 2012, 84 percent of cases had an estimated mode of exposure of MSM, 11 percent heterosexual contact, 3 percent IDU and 2 percent other mode of exposure that includes hemophilia, transplant, transfusion or mother with HIV or HIV risk.
Of the 54 African American females diagnosed between 2010 and 2012, 96 percent of cases had an estimated mode of exposure of heterosexual contact, 2 percent IDU and 2 percent other mode of exposure.
Age at Diagnosis
African American men are diagnosed at a younger age compared to other race/ethnicities. The average age at diagnosis for African American men diagnosed between 2010 and 2012 was 31 years old compared to 37 years old among white men and 40 years old among African-born men. However, African American women are diagnosed at an older age compared to other race/ethnicities. The average age at diagnosis for African American women diagnosed between 2010 and 2012 was 39 years old compared to 38 years old among white women and 34 years old among African-born women.
HIV Treatment Cascade among African Americans
There were 1,545 HIV positive African Americans included in the HIV Treatment Cascade (PDF: 952KB/2 pages) analyses. African Americans living with HIV in Minnesota have lower percentages of engagement of care at every step of the HIV treatment cascade when compared to the overall cascade in Minnesota. African Americans have the lowest rate of viral suppression of all the racial/ethnic groups with 52 percent of PLWHA virally suppressed.
There were 64 cases among African Americans reported in 2011 that were included in the linkage to care calculation. African Americans have the lowest linkage to care rate than other racial/ethnic groups with 72 percent linked to care.

My signature scent - I absolutely adore this!
It's very woodsy and nice, not offensive in any way, and the scent is so good on me. Sometimes I get immune to the scent, and I switch to another perfume for a while, but this is my favorite.
My primary complains are the price and the fact that the bottle doesn't come with a lid.

I was so intrigued by this and eager to try it because of all the hype. Well, I can't say that I'm disappointed, since this fragrance is exactly as described: a subtle, woody aroma that is "more of a feeling than a fragrance", according to the creator. It's supposed to smell quite differently on everyone. On me it smells clean, woody, and lightly coconutty, which I really enjoy. This is a true "your skin but better fragrance" and very inoffensive. My very fragrance-sensitive father even liked it and sprayed some on his neck. He actually smelled it from across the room and said it smelled really good, which surprised me because it's rather subtle, but clearly not as subtle as one might think. However, if you enjoy very strong fragrances this may not be for you. If I hadn't done any research, had never read the description, and hadn't known what to expect, I would be seriously disappointed. But if you have fragrance sensitivities and/or are partial to very understated, sexy, warm scents, this may be perfect for you. Either way, I do think it's overpriced.

I love this smell. The first 20 min. it's gone, but then it starts to waft up around you, very exiting. It's warm, woody and soft. Love it, love it, love it! Really lasts all day, even the next day i smell it on my clothes. I'll gonna get another bottle for christmas!
No smell at all, when sprayed a lot -light smell of motor oil. Disgusting overall & shame to sell it for any even low price! Especially when it's $135. Fraud,Fraud, Fraud!!!!
I was so ready to call this a scam. I smelled nothing, NOTHING at Scent Bar, and assumed they (and everyone in LA) was crazy when they told me it was their "top seller."
Then one of the store people told me to step outside to smell it, and I got a whiff of something very woodsy and nice indeed.
Took a sample home and put some on, after a shower (since it didn't seem to have any smell when placed on skin next to another scent.)
Sat back and got ready to start "Facebooking" the usual sarcastic comments.
Then I noticed a wave of what smelled like cedar followed by vetiver curling into pepper and then over to a very nice soapy "fabric softener" type smell, then back again. Of all the perfumes I've sampled this week, simply the best sequence of smells: all clean, organic, earthy with not too much of anything.
That lasted for about 30 minutes, after which "refreshing" it on my skin didn't bring the smell back. (Others have noted the phenomenon where it disappears to the wearer but remains to others.)
In spite of its odd properties, the goodness was impossible to ignore: immediately started pricing full bottles. Seriously odd execution, but seriously fascinating.

Smells exactly like Comet cleanser. Not offensive, but nothing special, in my opinion. This would definitely smell better on a man, there is nothing feminine about it. As for the so-called 'pheromone effect', I think it's BS. I do find it kind of fascinating because I can't seem to smell it 5 minutes after application, yet I can smell it on my clothing after it's been laundered. Weird. Overpriced!

This has gained "cult favorite" status at Luckyscent which is usually reason enough to try it.
This is a true skin scent and is perfect for the person looking for something very understated. However, I wish they added a few more molecules and added to the complexity of the fragrance. It's a nice start (woods, amber, and clean white musk) but seems unfinished.
If it were $30 I would buy tons and layer it with other fragrances. However, at $100+, I want a more cohesive fragrance with better lasting power.

I love how this smells on me, subtle, evocative and woody. As for the "pheremone" effect, well every time I wear it I get compliments and asked what it is I'm wearing. Sadly all these compliments have come from other women and I don't swing that way! Despite that I will continue to wear it as it's a breath of fresh air (can you say that about perfume?) in a world full of sickly, floral, fruity celebriscents

I'm glad to have smelled a sample of this fragrance, because it's helped me to be able to identify Iso E Super when I smell it in various other fragrances.
The fragrance is pleasant, woody, sort of like a sandalwood and cedar mix, but without the weight that those notes usually carry. It's light and somewhat ethereal. There is also a sort of dirt-like or mineral aspect to the fragrance, for me at least. However, I also smell something slightly musty, or maybe even a bit cardboard-esque.
Though I'm pleased to have smelled Iso E Super on its own, I think it's a note that performs best as part of a composition, rather than as the star of its own show, like in Molecule 01. I don't find this fragrance to be interesting or compelling, beyond the satisfaction of what was a somewhat academic curiosity.

Let's start with the assumption that professional athletes are more trouble than they are worth. They make tons of money, which most of them waste on frivolous, if not unlawful, pursuits.
But what do you expect? Any parent knows that you don't hand a kid just out of high school or college a couple milliion dollars (even if you had it!) to spend the way he likes. These athletes don't even have college loans to pay back, so off they go, spending willy-nilly on things that are going to get them in trouble.
You always read about really rich people who set up trust funds for their offspring. But the smart ones put conditions on the money, such as not being available until the kid turns 35 or so. Just think if the NFL operated like that. The players would get an allowance to get them through their twenties, and about the time their bodies were starting to wear out in their thirties, they'd get a ton of money. By then they'd be too old and arthritic to get into a lot of trouble, and they'd have the money to build home theaters where they could watch old game tapes the rest of their lives.
Pro athletes wouldn't have the money for steroids or fast cars and faster women, so they'd be more apt to be good role models for our kids. They wouldn't have much of a social life, so they wouldn't mind signing autographs for hour upon hour at the mall. They might even smile while they're doing it, in case some kid's mother would spring for an ice cream cone.
Of course it wouldn't be much fun being a sportswriter, but I call on the fine people of that profession to make the sacrifice for the good of society.
We could even take this idea a step further. With the marvels of digital imaging, why even have pro athletes at all? We could still have sports on television, but instead of spending the money on a handful of physical freaks of nature, the big bucks would go to people who've spent their youths studying hard and become masters of computer art and script writing.
Think of it. Why leave it to chance to create dramatic moments in the game? Just script it in! Why should the rich New York Yankees get all the good ball players when a talented writer can put an A-Rod or a Barry Bonds on any team? And when the public gets tired of a player or his jersey sales take a dive, just write him out! They do it on soap operas all the time, and they are quite popular and enduring.
So, I'm forwarding this idea to Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig and the new NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. I'll let you know what they say.
And as long as we're talking sports, I have an idea to make golf a lot more fun and easy. All the tweaking of the sport has so far gone into making bigger club faces. They did the same thing with tennis rackets, and that worked so well no one plays tennis anymore.
It's obvious to me that what should be bigger is the ball! Duh!

Canada's dollar reached its highest level versus its U.S. counterpart this week on speculation commodity exporters will weather a global slowdown.
The currency rose today against most of its major counterparts tracked by Bloomberg and was headed for a 0.3 percent advance against the greenback this week. Government bonds rose for the first time in three days before next week's Bank of Canada decision on interest rates. The Canadian dollar's volatility fell.
"What the commodity currencies offer is high yield to the U.S. and more positive growth prospects," said Steven Saywell, head of foreign-exchange strategy for Europe at BNP Paribas SA in London, in a telephone interview, referring to the dollars of Canada, Australia and New Zealand. "We quite like them."
Canada's currency, nicknamed the loonie, was little changed at 99.44 cents per U.S. dollar at 8:50 a.m. in Toronto, after touching 99.27 cents, the strongest level since April 6. One Canadian dollar buys $1.0057.
The loonie rose the most today against the Swiss franc and the euro as volatility fell.
Implied volatility for one-month options on the Canadian dollar versus the greenback decreased to 6.96 percent, compared with 6.75 percent on March 19, the lowest level since June 2007.
Implied volatility, which traders quote and use to set option prices, signals the expected pace of currency swings. Lower volatility tends to favor higher-yielding currencies such as the Canadian dollar.
Bonds Rally
A gain in government bonds pushed yields on 10-year securities down three basis points, or 0.03 percentage point, to 2.02 percent. The yields fell on April 10 to below 2 percent for the first time since March 13.
Government bonds have lost 0.4 percent this year, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch indexes. Canada's primary measure of stocks, the Standard & Poor's/TSX Composite Index, has increased 2.2 percent as investors seek higher-yielding assets on bets the worst of the European debt crisis is over.
Bank of Canada policy makers meet on April 17 to determine interest rates. Governor Mark Carney kept the target lending rate at 1 percent last month in the longest pause since the 1950s on signs a strong currency and fragile global recovery will restrain exports.
The loonie will appreciate to 98 cents by the end of 2012, according to the median of 31 forecasts in a Bloomberg News survey of economists.

Tell us about your experience at De Toren Private Cellar
WOW this wine is more than the sum of its parts; being made in the vineyard! friendly people and great wine.
Had a fantastic time with viticulturist and later assistant wine maker – showed us the philosophy behind wine at the farm. Amazing experience. The wines speak for themselves – some of the best in SA.
Went during the open day and was very well received by our host who was very friendly in explaining the wines. Value for money I would have to say I prefered the Z. The every day Diversity was very reasonably priced but was too sharp for me
Popped in during the 'open days' – tasting the Fusion V and Z as well as their Diversity. Thanx for the chat.
After 4 years of tasting these wines at wine shows i finally got the chance to visit the winery. Albie the wine maker gave us a very informative and detailed wine tasting which started in the vines and went on to barrel tasting. Only 2 beautiful blends made here the Z incidently being the more abrasive and the fusion more elegant. Or maybe it was just like that for us on the day.
The wines are rich, hearty and earthy stunning wines and well worth the wait

I redid the insulation on my second floor of my Cape Cod, I used a product called Durovent on the roof sheathing and insulated the ceiling and drywalled it. The insulation had a vapor barrier on it. There appears to be ample airflow in the area behind the kneewall which was also insulated and the attic. When I feel the insulation where it touches the durovent, it is showing signs of moisture, Can anyone explain this. Seams of insulation were all taped with a foil tape as were all penetrations. No voids in insulation that I know of. |

What are people's thoughts about these few Rules questions:
1. If a Unit like Runesmith, can grant another Unit a power bonus (+1 in Runesmith's case), if you have 2 copies of Runesmith in play, does they each grant a +1 bonus or is it only a one-time bonus regardless of how many Runesmiths you have in play?
2. Can you still assign damage to a Burning Zone? Say someone plays a card that gives me the opportunity to assign where some damage goes - can I choose to assign it somewhere (like a Burning Zone) where it would have no effect?
What do people think?
