An all-around great experience!
January 26, 2014
I can't say enough about the freshness and great taste of this product! Many of my friends and close family enjoy the taste of coconut. We also love our coffee fix. We had gone to a "chain" store and began to enjoy the coconut flavored coffee there. We soon went to search online for something that we could have at home whenever we wanted. After spending hours on the net, we found CoffeeAM. The price was right (far less than what my other friends were paying), and we were intrigued by the flavor selection. We ordered the Coconut Rum (which we are still enjoying!) and the Swiss Chocolate Coconut (which we haven't opened yet). We were pleasantly surprised to taste a well-balanced, rich flavored coffee. Robust, but not overpowering. We use coconut creamer to enhance the flavor. No sugar needed! It provides a nice flavorful top note, with a hint of chocolate in the middle, followed by a hint of rum at the bottom. Delicious! I can't wait to try it as an iced coffee. The only thing I can say about the ordering experience is: it would have been nice to have received a confirmation that my order was received and being processed, and that it was completed and on it's way. Instead, when I payed, I did receive my recipit, but didn't know anything until the FedEx info came in an email. I was going to call the company right before that happened. Other than that, I am a fan of CoffeeAM...and I will be back to order again!

Tropical Escape in every cup!

Soothing way to start a hectic day or to enjoy while relaxing at home. I love this coffee; hot or cold! The taste is not over powering, but the aroma is a tropical escape!

Katy Perry is going to India and packed some regrettable tweets. Fortunately, she packed something else, something not regrettable at all: this Bollywood-style remix of "California Gurls," commissioned for her show by Jack O.A.T., a longtime friend of Perry's collaborators.
The track isn't quite a mashup–the non-"Gurls" parts are original compositions–but the video is, intercutting Katy's "oh wow, all this candy is turning me into a living pinup" video with dance scenes from actual Bollywood movies. (YouTube, in its infinite if erratic wisdom, has a list of all ten.) So much dancing! And so much to emulate after you've heard the first few seconds and probably for a long time after. Watch below.

College Hockey:Quinnipiac Downs Ottawa
NORTHFORD, Conn. — It was only an exhibition, but the Quinnipiac Bobcats showed explosiveness against the University of Ottawa after falling behind to win 5-1.
Two early penalties against the Bobcats to Craig Falite and Joe Testa gave the Gee Gee's a man-advantage and they capitalized. Ottawa's Dylan Bliss picked up the puck deep in the Bobcats zone, and fed it into the slot to Samuel Seguin at the left hash mark who wristed the puck past Justin Eddy to put the Gee Gee's up 1-0 just five minutes into the game.
The six penalties in the first period by the Bobcats prohibited them from being able to tie the game before the first intermission.
"I think it is typical early season game, early on in the year there is always a ton of penalties, it's the same way every year, and it was tonight," said Quinnipiac head coach Rand Pecknold.
In the second period the Bobcat offense started to emerge. Newcomer and senior transfer from Iona, Mark Hallam, fed Matt Froelich the puck who dished it on a bang-bang play to a cutting Michael Bordieri. Bordieri took little time to bury the puck on a one-timer in front at the 4:05 mark.
After a high-sticking penalty to Ottawa's Sean Edwards, the Bobcats capitalized on the power play. Freshman Dustin Hughes skated out from behind the cage with a backhand shot on goal which was deflected away by the Ottawa goaltender Mathew Blanchard. The deflection came back to the blueline where Chris White wound up to rifle a shot past Blanchard's blocker to give the Bobcats a 2-1 lead.
Quinnipiac goalie Justin Eddy, who made 27 saves, was strong between the pipes, especially in the second period. Eddy saved all nine shots in the second session including two opportunities from the slot.
"Justin had a solid game, he didn't get tested as much later on in the game, he played well," said Pecknold.
Eddy would get more insurance with 5:32 left in the second period on the power play, as Chris White stickhandled at the blue line long enough to spot a cutting Dustin Hughes to the left of the crease. White whizzed a pass through the slot that hit Hughes right on the tape as he deflected it to the top shelf giving the Bobcats the 3-1 lead.
"Dustin, in his first game he was pretty dominant out there, and Chris White did a nice job. He is having to play a bit of a different role this year and I thought he did a nice job quarterbacking the power play," said Pecknold.
The Bobcats penalty kill would be tested late in the second when penalties to Ty Dienema and Joe Testa allowed Ottawa to have a two-man advantage. The Gee Gee's best opportunity came when Samuel Seguin sliced through the crease trying to stuff the puck underneath Eddy. Eddy went down on his back and formed a snow angel to stop the puck.
"They [Quinnipiac] got stronger as the game went on in term of their energy level, and I think they showed a little bit more commitment to get to loose pucks, a little more commitment to battle around the net area," said Ottawa head coach Dave Leger.
It took just 6:16 into the third period for the Bobcats to strike again. Sophomore Joe Testa found a breaking Michael Bordieri at the red line. The pass created a three-on-one, as Bordieri kept the puck and slapped a shot off the inside of the far post and lit the lamp.
The Bobcats would add another goal at the 9:32 mark as Dustin Hughes and Chris White would team up again for another perfectly executed two-on-one. White fed the puck to Hughes on the far side who once again deflected it to the top shelf for his second goal of the game and the exclamation point on the Bobcats 5-1 win.
Quinnipiac will open the season at home versus American International on Friday, October 10th, at 7:00pm.

I tried using the windows.h files and included them in a project in MPLab. I am getting numerous syntax errors and am starting to think that even if you include all the code from these files in your project it won't work. What I am basically trying to do is control a mouse in MPLab, I have code to do so using the windows.h files, but don't know how to do this using a PIC (MPLab) any help would be very much appreciated as this has been giving me a lot of trouble for a very long time.

This news article in today's Nature is about the external stimulation of human brains by weak electrical currents and the positive effects such stimuli seem to have on learning and other thinking processes. The author Douglas Fox notes that one of the early researchers in the field was once confronted by his colleagues on the grounds that his experiments were "fucking dangerous."
Thus Nature manifests unabashedly that it is perfectly alright to use an extremely common slang word—even if it's considered vulgar—in a top science journal.
We applaud Nature for its editorial bravery and intend to follow in its footsteps.

In welding high-purity and ultrahigh-purity piping systems, quite a bit of the welder's time is idle, time spent waiting for the purge system to remove the oxygen from the system. Most purge dams mark or scratch the pipe's ID, neither of which is acceptable on HP and UHP systems. This led to the development of a purge dam specifically for these applications.

"Land, then, is not merely soil; it is a fountain of energy flowing through a circuit of soils, plants, and animals."—Aldo Leopold
South Florida is known for its beautiful beaches, night clubs, and the year-round warm weather, but unfortunately, it isn't exactly known for its life-producing soil.
When the ocean water that covered South Florida receded all those years ago, the ocean floor was left completely exposed to the sun. The extended exposure created rock known as Miami limestone, which is composed of calcium carbonate that has a moderately basic pH and does not have a high water or nutrient retention rate.
Without the proper amounts of water and nutrients, plants are not able to obtain proper health. The best solution to this problem is to use raised garden beds, which provide an adequate area for organic soil with a high nutrient composition for plant growth and development.
Apart from gardening in soil that houses little biological advantages, developing a garden in a raised bed also increases productivity. Because there is no need for walking space in between the plants, they can be placed closer together, which will reduce the number of weeds that grow since there is not as much free space available for the weed roots to spread.
With the interminable presence of Florida rain showers, gardens also have to be able to drain water so that the roots do not suffocate and they don't succumb to tissue rot. Since the soil isn't walked upon, it remains loose enough for excess water to drain out of the bottom of the bed and evaporate off of the sides of the box, leaving the plants hydrated and healthy.
Raised beds also include a bonus of making organic gardening more accessible to people with physical limitations. Those who are physically disabled or injured can maintain their garden without risking further physical damage because the beds can be built at dimensions that make it accessible from all angles.
Now, South Florida can be known for the beaches, nightlife, sunshine and the organic way of life.

On Newtown: Poet Yusef Komunyakaa
Last year, after the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., NPR reached out to Pulitzer Prize winning poet Yusef Komunyakaa, who himself knows the grief of losing a child. The result was a poem, "Rock Me Mercy."
Last year, after the tragedy at Sandy Hook, we reached out to Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Yusef Komunyakaa, who himself knows the grief of losing a child. He sent us this poem titled "Rock Me Mercy."
YUSEF KOMUNYAKAA: (Reading) The river stones are listening because we have something to say. The trees lean closer today. The singing in the electrical woods has gone down. It looks like rain, because it is too warm to snow. Guardian angels, wherever you're hiding, we know you can't be everywhere at once. Have you corralled all the pretty wild horses? The memory of ants asleep and day lilies, roses, holly and larkspur? The magpies gaze at us, still waiting. River stones are listening. But all we can say now is mercy, please rock me.
RATH: The poet Yusef Komunyakaa reading "Rock Me Mercy," which he wrote just after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School one year ago today.

With summer now officially in full swing, we've been needing another reason to want to take a cruise–and now we do. Maroon 5 leads us to the tropics with their just-released "Maps" lyric video, which features spinning flowers and palm trees.
Call us crazy, but that's certainly a tease for a good time! "All the roads you took came back to me. So I'm following the map that leads to you, the map that leads to you," Adam Levine sings on the larger-than-life chorus. "Ain't nothing I can do…the map that leads to you–following, following, following to you. The map that leads to you…ain't nothing I can do. The map that leads to you…following, following, following."
Maroon 5 have now followed the song to a record start on Adult Pop Songs upon release, bowing at No. 16 on the chart. With 1,909 first-week plays, the tune broke records for the best opening week plays in the chart's 18-year history, according to Billboard. The song also charged in at No. 18 on Pop Songs.
"Maps," a breezy love anthem, serves as the lead offering to the band's forthcoming album V (out Sept. 2).
Grab a copy of "Maps" on iTunes now!

Wrapping up this Central American trip was Panama.
My highlight of any trip to Panama is cupping the Geisha with Daniel Peterson of Hacienda La Esmeralda, and this trip was no exception. We cupped several tables, several farms and several lots. The final table was all Geisha and truly a delight. Besides the typical top auction lots north and south of the creek near Mario's house, we also cupped several lots from a newer and higher elevation up the mountain. Cupping blind, Daniel and I were amazingly similar in our scores and once again the lots near Mario's house were the best. Unfortunately, we are out of our current crop of Esmeralda but look forward to receiving more this year.
Another pleasure I'm very fond of in Panama is how all producers work together and help each other, which is a real plus as we grow and need to find more lots of great quality coffee. At Daniel's for example, I was also able to cup lots from other farmers, such as, Carlito of Carmen Estate and Ricardo of Kotowa and Duncan Estate. After cupping with Daniel I was able to meet with Jose David, a producer of Mama Cata and schedule a tour of his farms.
My craziest day was Friday, departure day back home but I could not leave without meeting Jose David at 6:30 in the morning to cup 40 coffees in his lab. Day prior I was able to tour his farm - for you coffee lovers Jose David plans to restore Boquete's oldest mill located on a hill above the city with a great view, he plans to include a café, cupping room and future cottages. During our cupping we found some gems and special lots with an incredible Geisha on our final table. This is the first time I have found a Geisha to rival those from Daniel. I of course loved it and wanted to learn more. Jose David shared it was from the Mama Cata farm, at an elevation similar to the Esmeralda Geisha in Jaramillo, he referred it as a nano lot (vs. micro lot) because the entire lot is only 60lbs.
With time running out, I grabbed the Geisha plus other top lots and raced to the airport for my flight from David, Panama to San Jose, Costa Rica, arriving just in time.
But my trip was not quite over, when I arrived in San Jose I grabbed a taxi to once again cup more lots from the best of Costa Rica with Ricky. Cerro Paldo, Helzar, and a possible new farm from Assoproaa, which all sparkled and kicked some serious @$$. But everything has to come to an end and since Ricky's lab is across town from the airport I had to race back to catch my flight home.
From San Jose they diverted us to San Salvador where everyone had to get off the plane, go back through security and re-board. I finally arrive home around 1am, 3am in Central America time. A long day with four International Airports plus two great cupping's to complete, all and all, a fruitful and hectic trip. Now to the NCA's 99th Annual Convention and the Roaster Roundtable.Mike

Barnsley RUFC coach Mark Smith wants his side to win all six of their remaining Yorkshire League One games this season and still believes they can stay up despite being in last place and nine points from safety.
On Saturday, the Shaw Laners scored five tries at Huddersfield YMCA who are second in Yorkshire Division One but conceded six and lost 42-30. This gave Barnsley a bonus point but Knottingley picked up two bonus points despite a loss at Ilkely and moved off the bottom and ahead of the town team. Old Brodleians won 21-20 at Heath and are now nine points clear of Barnsley.
The Shaw Laners desperately need to win at home to Heath tomorrow and Smith says every game is a 'must win'.
"I am still really confident that we can stay up," said Smith. "In the last three games we have played the top three teams in the league and now we have teams that are a little bit lower.
"We played well at Huddersfield but that doesn't matter. We just need wins. Scoring five tries doesn't feel so clever if you concede six. We will keep fighting until it is mathematically certain that we are up or down.
"For the last six seasons we have finished in a better position than the season before so to get relegated would be a real backward step. We have players who have left since last season and players who have been injured but that happens at every club. It's no excuse."

Our Wedding hair and makeup featured in a New York magazine!
We always love when our bridal work gets featured in other reputable blogs and magazines, especially when they go national! We were just informed that a wedding we recently did hair and makeup for was featured in a New York magazine called Style Sweets. MikaDoesMakeup was credited for the work, although it was actually a collective effort by The Studio Beauty Team – that day we had Kym on bridesmaids makeup, Mika on bridal makeup, and Faye on bridesmaids and bridal hair. The bridal makeup and hair was done at The Edge Water Casino Hotel in Richmond, British Columbia.
Here are some of the gorgeous photographs (taken by The Apartment Photography team) from Denise and Noel's beautiful wedding day!

The problem is clear: money is being delayed in helping people of the Gulf, and concerned Senators and others with a vested interest are worried that politics is stymying real environmental help.
The U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation's Subcommittee on Oceans, Atmosphere, Fisheries and Coast Guard held a hearing Tues., July 29, in which they reviewed how Gulf of Mexico restoration dollars will be spent and when.
During "Revisiting the RESTORE Act: Progress and Challenges in Gulf Restoration Post-Deepwater Horizon," Senators reviewed ongoing implementation of the 2012 RESTORE Act, as well as the implementation of the Gulf Environmental Benefit Fund. As is pointed out on the Senate committee website, the Senators in attendance were "building upon the Committee's June 2013 hearing, "Gulf Restoration: A Progress Report Three Years After the Deepwater Horizon Disaster."
Witnesses from the Department of Commerce, Gulf states, and others with a vested interest in Gulf restoration also attended including Deputy Secretary of Commerce Bruce H. Andrews, Justin Ehrenwerth of the RESTORE Council, Trudy Fisher of the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, and Thomas E. Kelsch of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation's Gulf Environmental Benefit Fund.
Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu (D) was praised by Committee Senior Member Senator Bill Nelson (D) of Fla. who called her "the spark plug" who "did not let up" in getting the RESTORE Act passed.
In a webcast also on the Senate website, Sen. Landrieu spoke first, passionately insisting that Louisiana is "ready" to go when it comes to restoring its coast. "We've had a plan for 30 years, not just 30 months," she railed. "We don't want to wait any longer," she said, indicating that if other states weren't ready that is another matter. "I would urge Congress to read our plan and start funding these important projects."
Sen. Landrieu, who cited a jaw-dropping statistic -- that there have been 40,000 oil wells drilled in the Gulf over time -- was very clear in her assertion that the 80 percent of Clean Water Act penalties (yet to be determined) to go to Gulf states coastal restoration, fisheries, wildlife and marine life must be used not only effectively but expeditiously.
She closed by saying that as the committee moves forward, they must act "without regard for state boundaries. That was what was intended by Congress, particularly for Pot Two [the 80 percent of funds allocated directly for Gulf restoration and distributed to all five states].
Louisiana Jr. Sen. David Vitter (R) pointed out that his state absorbed one and a half times the amount of oiling as any of the other Gulf states, over 671 miles of coastline. He was an original co-sponsor who "worked diligently" he said to get the ball rolling back in 2011 to push the RESTORE ACT through.
Sen. Barbara Boxer (D), Calif., was recognized as a major proponent of this Act, and spoke third. She said she wanted to make sure that the Act was followed to the letter. She said this "far-reaching" bi-partisan agreement was designed to go to restore not only the Gulf's ecosystem but its economy. "Not one, but two," she stressed, perhaps a nod to Republicans who've stymied a strictly environmental approach.
"The impacts to fish and wildlife are still being felt," she said, pointing out that dolphins and fish are still being affected, according to scientists, a fact that Sen. Nelson mentioned in his opening remarks when he cited long-term problems with the kilifish population. The "funding has to go where it's needed most," she stressed, siding with Sen. Landrieu by saying that there is money already waiting to be spent. She said the Gulf coast residents need help now, and a "project-by-project" list has been held up in Congress for over a year.
Floria Jr. Sen. Mark Rubio (R) passionately spoke out against the use of Corexit in the Gulf. "We were told they were safe, but already, some of the claims that were made four years ago have proven not to be true, and there is simply not enough research or data to tell people [they are safe] with the level of certainty we hear from the industry." He said "trace elements" are still being found in tarballs along the Fla. coast, even though "we were told they would dissolve when in contact with water."
In response to Tuesday's Senate hearing, U.S. environmental groups including the Environmental Defense Fund, National Wildlife Foundation and National Wildlife Foundation issued a joint statement:
The communities and ecosystems of the Gulf have waited long enough for meaningful restoration. Next year we mark the tenth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and the fifth anniversary of the start of the oil spill.
We appreciate the oversight by the Senate Commerce Committee and Gulf Coast Senators and agree with the major points echoed by Sens. Landrieu, Nelson, Rubio, Vitter, Wicker and Boxer, on the RESTORE Act. First, the Senators made clear that they expect the RESTORE Council to follow the statute's clear direction to use its allocation – also known as Pot Two – to restore the Gulf ecosystem and not stray from that focus. Second, the Senators and witnesses also stressed the need to speed up the pace to get money on the ground to start moving forward with Gulf restoration.
We look forward to continue working with the RESTORE Council to get money on the ground for meaningful restoration."
The RESTORE Act is overseen by the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council, which is comprised of all governors from the five Gulf States as well as the Secretaries from the U.S. Departments of the Interior, Commerce, Agriculture, and Homeland Security as well as the Secretary of the Army and the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. President Obama appointed the Secretary of Commerce as the Council's Chair.
Clean Water Act penalties could reach as high as $21 billion, and will be determined sometime following the Jan. 20, 2015 start date for the final phase of the Deepwater Horizon civil trial in Federal Judge Carl Barbier's court here in New Orleans.

My wife and I are hoping to buy our first home within the next 12 months. I know some things about the process, but I'm hoping my fellow fanatics could offer any advice on buying a home. For example, I've heard that you don't want your DTI to exceed 36% of your gross pay. Would you agree with this rule or should I be even more conservative then that? Thanks for any advice you can give.
So you are DH? Interesting...

Is that of your gross or take home pay?
You dont want your DTI above 40%. If your home is above 30% of your DTI in itself i would consider scaling back. I was conservative and still found a great place in a nice neighborhood. Your DTI wont take into consideration all the new expenses and little nickle and dime stuff that could possibly put you in a pinch or tight situations. Just stuff like roto rooter things, golden rule etc....little things you dont expect, which is why i would suggest IMO being conservative with your first home. Ive spent about 600 on little unexpected things in a year and a half....doesnt seem like much unless you just dropped 20% on your mortgage, then 10k on furniture and appliances etc....
Before I bought my first house I took what I was paying in rent and added what I thought would be my total payment and did that for a year to see what it was like. So if my rent was $800 and my house payment was $1,500 (don't forget escrow) I just saved an extra $700/month to see how it would feel. I also used that extra $700/month to add to the down payment.
Looking back we probably under bought for our income but I'm happy we did it that way. We probably could have been approved for 400k loan but bought a 120k townhouse. 5 years later we bought a house for double that. We probably could have just went straight to the 240k house but it made me feel better and created some equity.
Also, both places were brand new so we didn't have to worry about things breaking or remodeling.

Here are a couple threads I had that talked about the process. From what I've seen, CF is more conservative than the 36%, and I probably would be as well. What helped me narrow down a specific price range was to put my expenses into an Excel sheet. Food, gym, vacations, car, insurance, savings, increase in maintenance costs, increase in utilities, literally everything you can think of. Then I looked at how much was left and decided how much we'd be comfortable spending of that considering future costs like daycare. We have no debt, so a 30% ratio (net income) is where we have our limit at. I've heard both no more than 25% of gross and 25% of net - very different numbers! Another good one was that food+living+transportation should not be more than 50% of your net.
that one has some "how did you know it was the one" comments buried in there
I think tomorrow I'll ask about building a home, haha.

Buy something you can afford on one income, and don't pay PMI.

Kenny won't let them die
So you are writing a Word document in Microsoft Windows and the system just hangs.
And you forgot to save your work so you're in trouble. Big trouble.
And you restart your box and start all over again. And you think of Gates.
You don't understand why the system hangs. It just happens. You either reboot or reinstall. No options left.
Now imagine that happens with the computers of your bank. The computers holding your money. Or the computers handling a nuclear plant. Or the computers making people travel to Mars.
Here at Sun we have Kenny Gross. Impressive guy. Impressive team. Go see how Kenny uses maths to early detect failing parts of servers. Wow. Isn't that cool?.
I'll be posting on J2SE5.0 and NetBeans 4.0 Beta2 by next week. Keep tuned. Have a good weekend.

Ever look at the ingredients list on a jar of jam assuming it will consist of fruit, pectin and maybe some lemon juice only to discover there are preservatives, food colorings and high fructose corn syrup? Fear not crunchy wheat toast, nook and cranny filled English muffins and toasty warm bagels…there is hope and it's as simple as 1-2-3!
First, let's break down the intricate tapestry of spreadable fruit toppings since there are so many from which to choose.
Preserves – The main category under which falls jam, jelly, etc.
Jam – Contains pulp/flesh and juice from one or more fruits/vegetables, cooked with sugar and water.
Jelly – Typically made with juice from one or more fruits/.
Conserves – A type of jam where the fruit is stewed in sugar with short cook times.
Marmalade – A type of preserves made using citrus fruit peels, sugar and water.
Fruit Spread – Jam or preserve with no added sugars
For delicious tasting, homemade jam the grocery list is quite short – fruit, sugar, lemon juice, jars and lids, almost all of which can be picked up at a local Tom Thumb, Market Street or Kroger's. Dance a bit in the Slow Food circles and visit a local Farmer's Market for in season fruit that comes from Texas.
What kind of fruit or vegetable is good for jam? The sky is the limit including strawberries, bananas, blueberries, onions, raspberries, plums, peaches, watermelon, pumpkin, cherries, tomatoes, apples and pears. What other flavors go well with those fruits? Think about cakes, tarts and other sweets – vanilla, ground toasted almonds, walnuts, almond extract, balsamic vinegar and liqueurs are all friends with fruits and can enhance their natural flavors. Why not have some fun and try strawberry basil, 4 fruit combos or cherry almond with some freshly minced rosemary? That way the jams can move from the breakfast table to the lunch pail as a sandwich spread for ham and cheese or a chutney for that roast duck or turkey that is only a few months away.
Be sure to read instructions carefully on preparing your jars, lids and seals as it is always a good idea to wash them with soap and water and then let them take a bath in some boiling water to sterilize them. The next step is to get out a big soup pot and dump in the washed fruit, a bit of sugar (taste the fruit first…it may not need a lot), a little bit of lemon juice (the tart, acidic juice will emphasize the sweet fruit flavors) and let it sit on a medium heat uncovered for about an hour, stirring occasionally. Leaving the lid off allows any water content in the fruit to evaporate and that will concentrate the fruit flavors even more. Evenly divide the hot jam into the clean, dried glass jars leaving a ½ inch gap. Place the seal on top, screw on the lid and submerge the jars in boiling water for about five minutes. Using jar tongs, remove the jars and place on a cookie rack or tea towel on the countertop to cool. Within minutes the sound of "POP", "POP", "POP" will fill the kitchen as the seals set and suction closed. The unopened jars can be stored at room temperature for up to six months but remember to refrigerate once opened.

1* Toronto (3:10 ET): I gave out the Blue Jays last night as a premium release (they won 14-9) and offer up a small recommendation here on Getaway Day. While Toronto's offense was "a little slow" to come around (compared to LY's historic production), Tuesday marked the 7th time since June 11th that they scored 10 or more runs in game.
Though the Jays might not be leading the league in runs scored as they did in 2015, they still rank 7th, which isn't bad at all. Obviously, Coors Field is a place where you'd expect the numbers to go up. Yesterday marked in season high in both runs and hits. There was a lengthy rain delay (almost three hours!), but it certainly didn't affect the Toronto offense, which scored in each of the final seven innings. As a reminder, visiting teams are averaging nearly 7.0 rpg here at Coors this season.
I was right to believe that yday's starter for Colorado (Eddie Butler) had little chance of slowing down the Jays and I feel the same way about Tyler Anderson, who gets the baseball today. Anderson is still winless after three starts and this will be - by far - the best lineup he's faced to date. Toronto counters w/ Aaron Sanchez, who will be looking to make it three consecutive quality starts. He's also allowed 3 ER or less in six of his last seven outings. Had Toronto not blown a four-run lead Monday, they'd be in position for a sweep. They'll have to settle for "just" winning the series now. 1* Toronto

La Serenissima, Queen of the Adriatic, Bride of the Sea...
Whatever the name, Venice is an endlessly fascinating subject for the photographer: colorful, romantic, opulent, improbable, with an infinite variety of textures and the most magical qualities of light.
Then there are the people of Venice, who put up with the trials of living in a city where every grocery run, every trash pickup, every appliance repair is carried out on foot or in a small boat; and who also put up with endless hordes of tourists, most of them carrying cameras.
But after the sun sets and the throngs head back to their hotels or leave for the mainland, Venice becomes another city entirely: hushed, mysterious and, for a few hours, empty. So let me show you a special place, a place like no other...

Giverny : Michelin's recommendations
Claude Monet lived in this village from 1883 to his death in 1926, and is buried here. A veritable artistic colonisation ensued! This is where he painted the vast canvases of the Waterlilies which can be seen at the Orangerie museum in Paris, as well as at the Marmottan Museum. His pink house with its green shutters and delicious garden seem to transplant the visitor into the painter's finest works.

Who cares if we're living in Nebraska? Even if we're a thousand miles or so from the surf and sand, we can think of plenty of reasons to wear this Pipa Silk Coverup ($180). We love its laid-back style and bold, poppy zigzag print, which we think make it a light, sexy, go-anywhere summer top, whether you're in SoBe or Lincoln.

Buzz on the Street: Investors Prepare for Fed Announcement After Volatile Week
A look back at the happenings on Wall Street this week, as seen by Minyanville's Buzz & Banter.
Random Sniffage
Michael Sedacca
Get your FOMC statement here.... read all about it!! That would have been your first reaction to the Hilsenrath article yesterday that said the Fed was unlikely to make the moves the market was implying at next Wednesday's FOMC meeting, especially given the recent data trends. The Fed may be looking to taper or talk down markets, but it's not due to data, that's for sure.
If there's one thing you can take away from the last three weeks of activity in the Treasury market... the flow of purchases from the Fed has absolutely zero effect on the movement of rates both up and down. All about expectations.
TIPS doing great this morning across all points on the curve. This is a major point that should be made. The whole way down TIPS led the selloff, which is the inverse of what you'd normally expect. If that logic, which took over for the past three weeks, is any guide, these should be a tailwind for Treasuries if they head higher, rather than in normal times where they would underperform. We irrationally sold off, erasing all of the inflation expectations built in from QE3 and QE2, and now we'll probably irrationally revert back to the old area. Just saying. I'm not playing this trade, but a 1.5x TIP long vs TLT short would be a good trade to take advantage of this widening in breakeven rates over the next two weeks.
With Tuesday's trend ending day in Treasuries looking solid (as Prof Zucchi and I both pointed out, Prof Cooper also offered the "other side" of that move with the possible reversal of a reversal) it's looking like we see higher prices from here. I prefer 5's 7's or 10's on the way up (FV or TY future, IEF ETF) and think 30's will underperform (US or WN future, TLT ETF) so a bullish steepener with 2.5x/1 or 3x/1 positioning could be in order. Though, I'm sure I'm not the only person on the planet thinking about that kind of trade so keep that in mind.
Given the now confirmation of positively trending PPI data from the month of May, this should translate into better CPI figures in June. Additionally, I think manufacturing will turn up in June and should be a drag on any Treasury rallies as growth expectations improve.
I've been beating the negative repo horse a lot, and to prove that I'm not crazy, repo fails to deliver for the 10-year in the week ending June 5th rose to $33.5b from $468m the week prior. The thinking was that the $21b re-opening of 10-years on Wednesday would help the supply issue, but at the best unless we see shorts cover or more longs added, it's not going to be until next month that it works itself out. Also, if you are short UST's, be wary of a Fed/Treasury notice to large holders to report position sizes now that they've seen the market disruptions, and it should cause a covering rally.
On the equity side, be aware that the S&P e-mini (ES) contract started rolling yesterday from the June to September contract. And it kind of seems like the irrationality of bonds and stocks going up together has returned.
Closed end bond funds doing better again today and I added and brought my credit position to full (along with a full muni position). Not looking so much for beta gains here, but discounts of 5%-8% to NAV and 4%-6% vs historical NAV is appetizing for me. My time horizon for these investments is three months and then I will reassess.
T-Rex In The Ointment
Jeff Cooper
Bullishly, the S&P left an outside up day on Thursday as, remarkably, the index carved out the FIRST turndown in the 3-Day Chart in 2013.
In other words, yesterday was the first time the S&P showed 3 consecutive lower intraday lows this year.
When the index went 'into the position' early Thursday morning, it didn't stay there long -- the ensuing rally left an outside up day.
All systems go, right?
The T-Rex in the ointment may be that now the S&P has carved out the first Minus One/Plus Two sell setup in 2013.
This is because the 3-day chart is pointing down and the index has 2 consecutive higher daily highs (the + 2 part of the strategy).This occurred because yesterday two-plotted, meaning the outside day up was the first higher daily high (following the turn down on the 3-Day Chart in the morning) and this morning shows a higher intraday high than Thursday.
In addition, the Minus One/Plus Two sell pattern is a potential Holy Grail sell as it is occurring on a test of the overhead 20-day moving average.

Eyes of the World
Todd Harrison
I was supposed to hit PT today at 1 p.m. -- their last appointment on a Friday -- but I blew that off to ride the tide with ye faithful through the end of the week. And by "blew that off," I mean that I'll do solo PT after the market closes today; as I've said in the past, I'm "on the program," which means PT every day, without fail.
Some top-line observations:
As go the piggies, so goes the poke; the banks were my catalyst to add to my short SPY position this morning and they've led the tape lower (KBW Bank Index (INDEXDJX:BKX) -1.6% vs. S&P -.6%).
Market breadth on the big board is 16:13 (negative) while the Nazz is 2:1 negative.
Does anyone else find it nuts that we're already bumping up against the 4th of July?
I'm offering another 5% of my SPY December put position out there, as a function of discipline. (I'm currently at 65%, after adding 25% this morning and peeling out of 10% into the slippage, not including this current offer). Aaannd just got lifted on that offer.
Remember "The Fed only only has so many bullets and the last one will be pointed inward?" I wonder what will happen if Big Ben is dovish next week and the market doesn't care? I have no edge here; just thinking out loud. I think it's safe to assume Mr. Bernanke will be a dove.
Those trend channels are nutty, eh? Through objective eyes, competing patterns typically resolve in the direction of the larger pattern (in this case, higher) but I'll trade 'em in the band until they stop working.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYSE:GS). LOD (Low of Day)
In a perfect world, I'll be IN-N-OUT on my intraday exposure as I trade around my defined risk core. The world is far from perfect, so we'll trade 'em as a function of time and price.
Thank you; seriously. That goes to the team (Michael, Michael & the squad), and those of you who spend your sessions with us. What a long strange trip it's been!

By Lena Mitchell/NEMS Daily Journal Corinth Bureau
CORINTH – A new board member for the Crossroads Arena was affirmed by the Alcorn County Board of Supervisors on Monday, sealing the appointment of Joe Franks to the seat currently held by Arena Board Chairman Bill Strickland.
Strickland was a key figure in establishing the arena, which opened in November 1999. He has served on the board since its beginning.
"I will have some comments at some time in the future, but not today," Strickland said late Monday. "I'm still active on the board and will be until the end of the month."
Arena board members serve five-year terms, and Strickland's term expires this month. His appointment is to a joint seat approved by the city of Corinth and the county for the jointly-owned facility. Corinth voted to appoint Franks to Strickland's expiring term last month. On Monday three supervisors – District 1 Supervisor Lowell Hinton, District 3 Supervisor Tim Mitchell and District 5 Supervisor Jimmy Tate Waldon – voted to ratify the city's action, while District 2 Supervisor Dal Nelms voted against the move and District 4 Supervisor Gary Ross abstained.
Thom Rogers, whose term also expires this month, and Jane Summers, whose term expired last year, were both approved last month to continue serving their county appointments.
Franks has served a number of years on the board of Main Street Corinth and has coordinated entertainment for both the annual Slugburger Festival and Hog Wild.
The multipurpose facility is a venue for family-oriented entertainment with seating for more than 7,500 for concerts, and a meeting and banquet hall that accommodates 275 for banquets and 450 for theater-style seating or lectures.

So...I've got this whole pile of Korean stuff just burning a hole in my apartment. It's anxious to get on its way. And I'll be honest, I can't wait for it to leave either. There were a few cross words between us yesterday...and things just aren't going to be the same from here on out. I think its just time to let go and live our own separate lives. So after adjusting for double posts (I'm so glad to know that I'm not the ONLY one who forgets to leave contact information!) ...
Tara from The Sugar Tree I hope you are ready because this random assortment of Korean goodness is headed your way! Send me your address when you take a break from saving the world.

You ladies helped me out 18 months ago when I was looking for a leopard print maternity dress to wear to my baby shower. I've had that baby and need some cute mom clothes that aren't boring mom clothes. I work during the week and am looking for something beyond boot cut jeans and a sweater for the weekends.
I am in search of a great blazer so I can recreate looks similar to this one.
I'd prefer one with buttons for more structure. I'm open to black and gray blazers. I'm an ample size 16 up top with a max budget of $75. This isn't for a special occasion or event, so there's no rush. I really don't want anything that looks too much like a suit blazer. I want it to be casual and wear it with skinny jeans tucked into boots like in the picture. Hope I've given enough details.
Thank you!
We are happy we could help you find a stylish leopard print maternity dress to wear to your baby shower. And we are hoping that we will be just as helpful in helping you find a blazer to wear with skinny jeans and boots. We are big fans of the picture you provided (which can be seen to the left of the blazers up top) and couldn't agree more: this is a fabulous outfit. We have to admit, though, searching for a casual blazer that didn't resemble a suit blazer was tougher than we expected. However, we're confident that you will look and feel amazing in any one of the choices we've provided, especially because all of them can be paired with skinny jeans and boots. Enjoy your new blazer!

The Daily Start-Up: Cycle Capital Closing on $100M for Third Clean-Tech Fund
Top stories in today's VentureWire:
Cycle Capital Management is about to close on about $100 million for its third fund that will back clean-technology start-ups in the U.S. and Canada. The fund target is $150 million. The Montreal firm's Cycle Capital Fund III has drawn on capital from fund-of-funds Teralys Capital, Gaz Metro, which transports and distributes natural gas in Quebec, Fondaction, a fund that gets capital from retirement investments of individuals, and the government of Quebec, which is investing $50 million.
Novira Therapeutics said it closed $23 million in Series A financing early this month led by new investors 5AM Ventures and Canaan Partners, in its bid to thwart the virus that causes hepatitis B, a condition that leads to the death of thousands of Americans each year. The company, which has raised a total of about $26 million, now has a post-money valuation in the $30 million range, according to its president.
Also in today's VentureWire, China's Delta Capital has secured a $200 million fund, marking the close of its first dollar-denominated vehicle and joining the ranks of other Chinese fund managers that hold greenbacks, including Hony Capital, according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation…3DR Laboratories, which offers medical image processing on-demand for hospitals, has raised a first institutional round of $7.2 million to hire more staff to meet growing demand. The funding was provided by Advantage Capital Partners, a public-private economic development fund for companies based in Kentucky…and German mobile-payment start-up SumUp has raised its first outside capital, adding pressure to Square and others in the space. The year-old company makes an app and a rectangular mobile card reader that is about one-third the size of an iPhone. The company has raised more than $20 million.

Christopher Rivera Amaro is dead, but to his surviving loved ones, he is still full of life. The Puerto Rican boxer was murdered last Sunday and his wake, which was held Friday, depicts him standing up in the corner of a boxing ring. Christopher Rivera's funeral was macabre to others, but it expressed his love for fighting, according to a Jan. 31 Washington Post report.
Death and bereavement stories like these are all too common nowadays. One cropped up days ago about a man's final wishes. Read here about an "Ohio man buried riding his 1967 Harley-Davidson motorcycle in extra-large grave."
Christopher Rivera was 23 when he fell to a bullet fired from an unknown gunman on Jan. 26 city of Santurce. At this time, there has been no word of arrests or suspects in the killing.
The young fighter only had a 5-15 record in the ring, but those who knew him says he loved the sport and had a dying wish of being memorialized at his wake/funeral services.
The idea was discussed with a local funeral home, which hatched the idea of propping Rivera's embalmed body in the corner of a makeshift boxing ring. The family agreed and the story went viral.
Donning a yellow hood, black sunglasses, and blue gloves, the dead boxer posed with his wife, son, and mom ( shown here).
Christopher Rivera's wake was held in a public housing project and attracted throngs of people who paid their respects. Sources say the display took several hours to set up.

This reflection is taken from my book Pro-Life Reflections for Every Day, which is available for purchase at: ProLifeReflectionsForEveryDay.org
"When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh's daughter and he became her son. She named him Moses" (Exodus 2:10)
Reflection: Many couples are eager to adopt children, but unable to do so, either because of burdensome laws, or because the children have been killed by abortion. The pro-life movement promotes adoption; the pro-abortion movement does everything it can to discourage it. After all, for them, every adoption is lost business in the killing centers.
Prayer: Lord, look with love on all those who seek to adopt a child. Bless them for their generous desire to give a child a loving home. Give them patience and trust in you. Amen.

The Aquarium, collaborating with other aquariums across the country, is leading a national effort to enable aquariums to effectively communicate the impacts of climate change and ocean acidification on marine animals. Read more.

How does the Aquarium support one of the world's biggest marine reserves?
Nearly a decade ago, a dive boat captain based in Fiji invited Greg Stone, a marine biologist and at the Aquarium's vice president of global marine programs, to visit the Phoenix Islands. This remote coral reef archipelago, located between Hawaii and Fiji, was swarming with reef fish and giant clams, including many species that were rare or unheard of elsewhere. According to Stone it was "the first time I had seen what the ocean may have been like thousands of years ago."
In 2000 and 2002, Stone and other marine biologists cataloged coral and the fish species that lived on the reef. In 2001, Stone and the Aquarium proposed that the area be set aside as a reserve. He also called on Conservation International, a U.S.-based environmental group that raised money to offset the income that would come to the islanders from commercial fishing that would now be curtailed. Anote Tong, the President of Kiribati— the island nation that includes the Phoenix Islands protected area (PIPA)— and a graduate of the London School of Economics, was supportive of the project, seeing it as a way to both protect his island nation and support eco-tourism. For his work, Greg Stone was recognized by The Boston Globe as a "savior of the seas."
Today, scientists use the marine reserve to study the life of coral reefs, both healthy reefs and those that have been affected by over-fishing and the potential impacts of global warming on coral reefs "with no other man-made factors present."
According to the article "Our Imperiled Oceans: Victory at Sea," which appeared in Smithsonian, the reserve is one of the planet's ecological bright spots, the boldest, most dramatic effort to save the ocean's coral reefs, the richest habitat in the seas.

How is the Aquarium educating local fish distributors about the benefits of sustainable seafood?
Today, many species have been fished to near extinction and some seafood is caught or produced in ways that harm the environment. Through the Sustainable Seafood Programs in our conservation department, the Aquarium is working to help maintain healthy fish populations while supporting the fishing industry.
The Aquarium works directly with seafood buyers and sellers, such as Ahold USA, Stop & Shop's parent company, and Gorton's, to help these companies make environmentally responsible seafood choices for their stores. We also educate consumers on which fish provide the best seafood choices and sponsor events, such as the Celebrate Seafood Dinner Series, to highlight sustainable seafood.
