In her 1989 hit Miss You Much, Janet Jackson sings a line of chorus over and over again: "I miss you much, I really miss you much." And when this finally winds down after four interminable minutes, she had the cheek to ask: "That's the end?" The song was a multiplatinum monster smash.
Repetitive reinforcement is also the Federal Reserve's favored tactic, and last week it renewed its pledge to keep buying $85 billion of assets a month. But the ensuing selloff of bonds and stocks shows that's no longer music to our ears. All we hear now are the newer notes in this familiar refrain: the marginal upgrading of economic outlook, the hints the Fed could scale back monetary stimulus later this year.
Quite clearly, our central bank will keep monetary policy supportive to help create as many jobs as possible; it might even lower the 6.5% unemployment target if that doesn't fairly reflect the state of our labor market. But expect the Fed to keep talking up its flexibility in reducing monetary support -- the better to keep the stock and housing markets from overheating in the mean time. The Fed "seems simultaneously anxious to start slowing the pace of its asset purchases, and reluctant to tighten policy too early or too quickly," observes Credit Suisse economist Neal Soss. Bottom line: The next Fed meeting in late July now looms as a source of uncertainty and volatility.
What's different about this selloff? For a start, stocks' beating isn't accompanied by a flocking toward safer havens; Treasuries and gold both fell hard too. We've gotten used to shallow pullbacks prompted by bouts of growth concerns. This one, for a change, is triggered by increasingly unpredictable interest rates. Rising rates needn't spell doom for stocks. After all, rates are merely rising off rock-bottom depths, their resurrection a happy rebuttal of the deflation fears that have gripped the planet. But what spooks us is the whiff of rate volatility. On cue, concerns are mounting that some firms might be caught with big bond holdings that might prove messy to unwind.
Here's the damage so far: The Standard & Poor's 500 is 4.6% off its peak, and has just absorbed its worst two-day drubbing since late 2011. Within a month, the crop of stocks holding above their 50-day averages has plummeted from 90% to 35%, fast approaching the 20% threshold seen last November, notes Bespoke Investment Group. But bonds had it worse: the iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond TLT -0.8936936936936937% iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF U.S.: Nasdaq 137.51 -1.24 -0.8936936936936937% /Date(1475269200351-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 11361412 AFTER HOURS 137.5 -0.01 -0.007272198385571959% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 385707 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 2.1560642862337285% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » exchange-traded fund (ticker: TLT) has lost more than 11% since May, and the $34 billion pulled from bond funds recently marked its worst three-week outflow ever. At this rate, this could become that rare recent quarter where stocks gain while bonds bleed.
While an unbridled dumping of assets smacks of a knee-jerk reaction, it also shows how pervasive and entrenched the low interest-rate regime had become -- and how tricky it may prove to unwind. Within a 24-hour blur from Wednesday to Thursday, the yield on 10-year Treasuries had spiked from 2.17% to 2.44%. The 30-year Treasuries' yield has jumped from 2.45% to about 3.59% within 11 months, and investors are reeling from the swings.
"Cash is king right now," writes Michael Hartnett, Bank of America Merrill Lynch's chief investment strategist. "A bond crash or forced deleveraging would be the major 2013 risks," he adds, and capitulation in sentiment and "a subsidence of bond volatility are necessary for a new buying opportunity in risk assets."
MEANWHILE, THE WORLD probably has seen the peak in central-bank liquidity and the bottom in interest rates. This should continue to favor stocks over bonds in time. Already, economically sensitive stocks are starting to outperform even as the economic outlook stayed ho-hum. So far, this quarter has meted out losses totaling 6.9% to rate-sensitive sectors like utilities and 1.9% to telecoms, while financials, consumer discretionary, and technology are clinging to gains of 5.4%, 4%, and 2.6%, respectively. And last week, thanks to firmer private U.S. demand and moderating fiscal drag, Morgan Stanley's business-conditions index notched its biggest one-month gain since we emerged from recession in the summer of 2009.
Stocks' 5% slippage also looks mild compared with drawdowns at one point of 28% in 2009, 16% in 2010, 19% in 2011, and 10% in 2012, notes David Kostin, Goldman Sachs' U.S. equity strategist. "Bond yields are rising, arguably because the domestic economic outlook is improving while inflation remains low," and he expects stocks to outperform as rates rise and bond prices fall.
For the longest time, insurers' big investment portfolios have suffered near-zero rates. No surprise, they're now cheering as rates rebound. After years of managing their capital cautiously, "rising rates could see companies grow more willing to draw down their excess capital," notes Morgan Stanley analyst Nigel Dally.

DIY Holiday Decor from the Garden
big, bold DIY wreath from Sunset magazine made of red twig dogwood. Red twig dogwoods have fabulous ruby colored branches that are slightly flexible and they retain their color for months after they are cut. 2. Bucket Tree Stand. We always end up with the tiniest tree in the Christmas tree lot because our living room is so small and narrow. We use a galvanized garden bucket filled with sand to hold up our tree, but I love Country Living's idea of setting a Christmas tree atop a vintage wooden crate. It's a great way to give a small tree a bigger presence--and get it up and out of the way of wagging dog tails. 3. Sparkly Glass Cloches. Glass cloches help keep newly planted seedlings warm in spring, but they can pull double duty as holiday décor indoors. Martha Stewart Living recommends dressing up the cloches by filling them with ornaments, but they also look pretty filled with pine cones or beads. Here's a quick tip: fill your cloches with ornaments (or whatever you like) and then place a thin piece of cardboard over the bottom of the cloche. While holding the cardboard firmly in place, flip the cloche over, set it gently on a flat surface, and then slide out the piece of cardboard. 4. Easy Place Card Holders. Branches studded with berries look pretty in the garden or on the table as a simple place card holder. This example from Sunset uses snowberry, but holly, winterberry, heavenly bamboo, and viburnum all have pretty berries that persist into winter. 5. Pretty Pine Cones. Pine cones are plentiful and can be used in so many ways. Set them on the table as a place card holder, spray paint them silver or gold and fill a footed bowl with the cones, affix them to a wreath, or take a cue from Martha Stewart Living and use them as rosettes on either end of a swag of evergreen boughs (you can find the instructions for making the rosettes here). 6. Ice Lanterns. Every Christmas Eve my mom makes ice lanterns and sets them on the sidewalk that leads from the street to the front door. They are so pretty when set into drifts of snow and they help party guests find their way into the house and under the mistletoe that hangs inside the threshold. Ordinary Life Magic has great directions for creating your own ice lanterns. Other than freezing temperatures (or a walk-in freezer), all you need are buckets, water, greenery and berries from the garden. * * * Willi Galloway writes The Gardener column. She lives in Portland, Oregon and writes about her kitchen garden on her blog DigginFood. Her first book Grow. Cook. Eat. A Food-Lovers Guide To Vegetable Gardening will be published in January.

MYRTLE BEACH -- Regal Inlet Square 12, the movie theater attached to Inlet Square mall, was set to close for good Sunday, because the mall's stalled renovation has hurt its business, a company spokesman said.
"We regret that our landlord's announced improvements to the mall have not come to fruition," said Russ Nunley, vice president of marketing and communications for Regal Entertainment Group. "Regal has terminated the lease due to the negative impact on our business from the stalled renovation project for the mall."
Inlet Square mall has been under construction since late 2007, when a $4.5 million renovation abruptly stopped.
Theater employees were notified of the closure at a meeting Jan. 3, Nunley said.
Workers at the theater and Inlet Square's mall manager declined comment.
Inlet Square staff have been offered jobs at another Regal's Swamp Fox 14 in Florence, Nunley said.
In August, Regal Cinemas Inc., which owns the Regal Inlet Square 12, was sued by Inlet Retail Associates, the former owner of Inlet Square mall, for six months of unpaid rent. The suit said the theater had failed to pay $296,744.76 in rent, fees and expenses. Nunley declined to comment on the case because it is still pending.
According to court documents, the company gave Regal Cinemas written notice concerning its failure to pay the rent and received no payment in return.
Inlet Retail Associates filed for bankruptcy protection in March and the case closed Nov. 25, according to court documents. In September, Murrells Retail Associates, an entity within the Philadelphia-based RAIT Partnership, became the owner of the Murrells Inlet mall.
Inlet Square mall entered into a lease agreement with Litchfield Theatres in February 1989, and after Litchfield Theatres and Regal Cinemas merged in 1997, Regal was named as a tenant.
Regal is the largest movie theater company in the United States. Locally, the chain owns theaters in Mount Pleasant, North Charleston and Summerville.

FTS: Fruit and Tree Nuts Outlook /
Characteristics of U.S. Orange Consumption
Stay Connected
Fruit and Tree Nuts Outlook No. (FTS-30501) 17 pp, August 2003
U.S. per capita consumption of oranges has grown slowly since the 1960s, although the orange remains the number one fruit consumed (total fresh and processed uses). Consumption patterns appear to vary by demographic and economic characteristics. Northeast consumers show the strongest preference for orange juice, and those in the West for fresh oranges compared with consumers elsewhere. Consumers in the Midwest and the South consume less of all orange products. Hispanics and people of "other" races (including Asians) have the highest orange consumption of all racial/ethnic groups.

The College of Charleston's presidential search committee did not include Lt. Gov. Glenn McConnell on the list of five recommended candidates that it forwarded to the school's Board of Trustees, according to sources with close ties to committee members.
But that doesn't mean McConnell is out of the running for the school's top post.
One of those sources said McConnell was among the search committee's top 10 candidates, but he was not on the committee's final list of five candidates.
The college's board ultimately will decide on the school's next leader, who will take over for George Benson when he steps down in June.
The board doesn't have to limit itself to the search committee's recommendations. It could consider candidates that aren't on the committee's list.
Search committee and board members contacted by The Post and Courier said they had signed confidentiality agreements and could not comment on the process.
And College of Charleston Board Chairman Greg Padgett sent a campuswide email Friday assuring people the presidential search process has been conducted appropriately. "Any reports to the contrary are inaccurate and should be ignored," Padgett stated.
McConnell, 67, announced in January that he would end his decades-long career in politics and concentrate solely on pursuing the presidency at the College of Charleston.
He could not be reached for comment Friday, after multiple attempts to contact him at his office or on his cellphone.
McConnell, a 1969 graduate of the college, was elected to the state Senate in 1980 and served for 32 years, the last 11 years as president pro tempore. He was one of the most powerful men in South Carolina, but state law last year required him to move into the lieutenant governor's office when Ken Ard resigned after being indicted for ethics violations.
The college's 15-member search committee met Feb. 7 and 8 to interview its top 10 candidates. Then, on Monday, it forwarded the list of its top five candidates to the college's board.
The board met Tuesday to discuss the candidates but adjourned for the day without releasing a list of finalists for the job. It hasn't yet scheduled its next meeting to review candidates.
State law requires the board to release the names of those in the final pool of no fewer than three candidates. But it doesn't require the search committee to release its list of candidates.
The college's presidential search committee was made up of board members and representatives from the school's faculty, staff, student body, alumni, athletics department and foundation board. Padgett appointed members to the committee.
The college hired the national search firm AGB Search to assist the search committee. The college will pay the firm $70,000 plus expenses. The money will come from the College of Charleston Foundation.
More than 100 people applied for the job.
It's been a busy month at the college. In addition to the school being engaged in a presidential search, some state lawmakers have filed a bill to merge it with the Medical University of South Carolina to form a more comprehensive research university in Charleston.
Speculation that McConnell wasn't among the search committee's selections, which was posted Thursday by a Columbia blogger, raised confidentiality concerns for the MUSC's Board of Trustees.
MUSC also is searching for a new president.
At the university's board meeting Friday, Chairman Tom Stephenson said that the names of candidates under consideration to become MUSC's next president must be kept confidential.
To ensure that the names are not leaked, only members of the presidential search committee - not the full Board of Trustees - will have access to an early list of candidates, he said.
"You've seen what's happened at the College of Charleston." Stephenson told members of the board during the open meeting that a rumor has been circulated that McConnell, who has been openly discussed as a candidate for president at the College of Charleston, had not been included on a list of candidates for the full College of Charleston board to consider. But he could not verify if the rumor was true.

Looks good.
Install Time: Under 30 minutes
I had slight cracks on my dashboard plus a missing piece. I purchased this product and it works better than I expected, turned an expensive cosmetic repair to a affordable and fast fix, and also looks great. The shipping and delivery were great and it was actually on my doorsteps before the delivery date! I would definitely recommend to a friend or family member.
Install Time: Instant
Product looks good and easy to install. Looks much better than my last one.
Install Time: Instant
The dash cover refuses to lay flat after being in the sun for days. It keeps covering the sensor for the dash lights and they go off as I am driving. I probably will not use this product.
Install Time: 2+ Hours
This product cost twice what similar products sell for and the material is decent quality, however, for a custom molded product, you would think it would be shipped in a flat long thin box instead of saving a penny and rolling and folding it up and then you the purchaser are supposed to unfurl product and lay flat and wait for days for creases and folds to unwrinkle! Then you velcro product to dash and they don't provide enough velcro tape. Additionally after installing the leading edge by the windshield has some sort of deformation, curling, not a very appealing look. Overall, it serves its purpose but its no better than other products that sell for half the price.
Install Time: Under 30 minutes
It's always hard to order something like this online when it comes to picking out a color to match. Auto Accessories Garage was kind enough to change my color by sending me a second dash cover that worked perfectly. This truly is a great company to buy from.
Install Time: Under 30 minutes
Great product. Thank you.
Install Time: Under 30 minutes
I don't like how the cover comes down on the upper glove box - just doesn't look right. When opening the upper glove box, the mat lifts up causing it to become out of place. I also thought the color would be darker. My suggestion - do away with the flap that covers the upper glove box.

Posted on 06/15/2014 3:51:52 PM PDT by Star Traveler
A three word text was released from inside the Embassy about six hours ago: Too late Alamo. That message is open to interpretation.
Just minutes ago news came from within the United States Embassy in Baghdad that the Iraqis have shut down internet service for those barricaded inside. Limited text messages via private cell phones are still coming through.
It is unknown how many of the more than 5,000 U.S. civilians in Baghdad are actually taking refuge inside the embassy compound. NBC war correspondent, Richard Engel reported last night that civilians in and around Baghdad have boarded up residences and businesses.
The embassy lockup is a reminder of when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in August of 1990 and U.S. civilians were held hostage for months, including those from the State Department and Department of Transportation.
This week ISIS terrorists operating in Iraq have toppled Fallujah, Ramadi, Tikrit, and Mosul, robbing the Bank of Mosul for more than $450 million dollars. ISIS leaders now claim they are the richest terror group in the world, topping al Qaeda and Hamas. This militant group has vowed to overrun Baghdad, the nation's capital, and eliminate the Shiite ruling party.

I hadn't heard that. Excellent documentation to add among the list of 1000 other things needed for impeachment.
Tell Obama they're against gay marriage. Maybe then they'll get as stern a condemnation as Uganda.
Maybe the question should be, how many Americans will ISIS behead?
the war has arrived at the airport
how are these folks going to get out?
driving south?
I'm sorry. It sounds like the Alamo to me. The time to get them out was three days ago, but they did not because it was "too politically sensitive".
aljazerra reporting that Iraqi army has retaken two towns from ISIS.
Pope Francis doesn't think he's Barack Obama.
Yes, and no help was forthcoming.
I am an American Soldier...defender of freedom against tyranny
and when I enter the valley of death
and the agent of Satan appears at my shoulder
I will be resolute and fear no evil
And my Lord in heaven will guide my sword.
More Tweets:
Keep in mind that unless they come from a known Journo, they are "unconfirmed".
-Control tower of International Airport in Baghdad, Iraq hit by missile attack.
-ISIS winning ISF all around Baghdad, city nearly surrounded w fighters entering suburbs from multiple sides
-Spanish ABC newspaper reporter - rebels entering Camp Taji, north of Baghdad
If necessary, by helicopter from the embassy roof, just like Saigon. Unfortunately, ISIS has the MANPADS Obama gave them so when they take off...
(insert Obama 'tee hee' here)
... they'll be blown out of the sky
Going into Baghdad against the terrorists that Barry armed, he might as well be securing a noose around that soldier's neck.
Is Camp Taji a military installation, or a camping site?
And if we know that, the people in positions to have done something THEN, refused.
It is that simple. Every one of these people shares responsibility through negligence if not open collusion with Obama and his admin.
BREAKING ISIS claims that many top officials of Iraq get stucked in Baghdad international airport....
That could be devastating to Malaki's government.
Glad you like. Ultimate Force for the first couple of seasons was very good. There were some cast changes and it went downhill some. I liked it way better than I ever liked the UNIT.
It looks like there are some whole episodes out there.
Henno is just one very bad dude. I love him. The SAS version of DCI Gene Hunt.
A few years back we were at a Dragoncon and Jamie Bamber was there. He was in UF for a while as an officer. We passed his table and there was small talk going on. I mentioned Ross Kemp (Henno) and he laughed and said he wouldn't wish Ross Kemp on anybody.
I don't think that Obama is a mastermind of evil, but he IS evil, petty, and sides with Islam over the United States. Not sure if siding with Islam is because he is one or because he's a liberal who thinks that they're minorities.
But ugh...
Taji's a former coalition facility about 30 miles north of Baghdad.
The Announcement of the U.S. Embassy "redeployment" was the call to EVERYONE that the end was near in Iraq.
It was the signal to anyone and everyone that ever had anything to do with helping the US that it was now time to get the hell out.
very ominous, can invasion be seen on google?
if this is all factual (which it probably is) this is a very very sad day for us
and guess what? it will probably not change bummer's ratings - the left has no regard for life. none.
Remember the media telling us just this week how "Exhausted!" Obama is, and how much he NEEDED this vacation??
CAN YOU JUST IMAGINE THE REPORTING IF AN "R" was in office right now???
So no doubt ISIS now has more firepower
I prefer the term "deja vue" to flashback; flashback reminds me to much of the doped out hippies that were decorating all the gutters when I got back to the world.
Now those same doped out hippies are running the government and making a mess of it.
I don't really want to have to correct you, but don't you mean Piece of Sh#t in Chief?
This FR thread, leftist media notwithstanding, is Obama's legacy. This thread is how history will remember him. Not Obamacare, not bin Laden, not Gitmo, but this thread contains all the information that people will remember about the 44th President of the United States 100 years from now.
Well, IF the report is true, and IF there was anything there, and IF it actually was ISIS and not the Baathist militia or a Sunni militia group (which is frankly more likely), then yeah.
Rami now reporting tribal fighters have entered Baghdad
I picture this like when the Khmer Rouge entered Phnom Penh.
Could somebody hop on the air travel websites and check what the last reported flight arrival in Baghdad was? There's discussion about the "massive ISIS attack on the airport" actually being four mortar rounds that were lobbed in from a nearby neighborhood and caused a brief disruption, but flights have resumed. It'd be nice to find some actual data. It's 3:40 am in Baghdad.
I thought they evacuated!
I stand corrected.
A flight just touched down there, but it had very few details. Then another flight took off at a sharp altitude, again, no details or callsign on that flight.
Looks like all the flights are going past Baghdad, up north and turning around. One, without a callsign, just took off and is headed toward Cairo. It's a big 777 long-range... maybe has our embassy people on it...who knows.
Link to flight radar tracker site: link
Just got home ..catching up.
What a SNAFU this is. .
I cannot begin to describe the state of mind of my Screaming Eagle son and the buddies he fought with. The betrayal is beyond words.
Wow. Makes me wonder.
Is that the USA Embassy in Iraq that represents the seventh wonder of the world both in cost and absurdity? Too many of our political leaders are not only corrupt but incompetent. They never pay a price.
Sorry but that's the way I feel. We never should have borrowed and spent that Chinese money that had nothing to do with making our America a stronger better country.
Well that's special.
This isn't important.
What's important is King Fubo's golf score on his visit to Palm Springs, and how much money he raked in for the DNC.
Australia ready to supply humanitarian aid to Iraq if called upon, says Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop
Lisa Cox
Published: June 16, 2014 - 9:35AM
Australia stands ready to supply humanitarian aid to Iraq and has begun evacuating staff from diplomatic posts in Baghdad, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has said.
Ms Bishop has also reissued pleas for Australians visiting the country to leave immediately, if it is safe to do so, via the commercial airport in Baghdad.
The Foreign Minister again talked down the likelihood of Australia becoming involved in military action against jihadist group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, who last week seized control of Iraq's second largest city, Mosul.
The offensive is part of ISIL's plan to establish a Sunni Islamist state that runs from Iraq across the border into Syria and beyond.Ms Bishop said the federal government had been given "no indication that the United States would like us to help".
"At present our focus is on protecting Australian citizens and our interests in Iraq," she told ABC's Radio National on Monday.
But she said Australia would assist in the supply of humanitarian aid if called upon to do so.
"We have been talking with our British friends who have a team on the ground," she said.
"Britain is supplying sufficient humanitarian aid at this stage but we've not received a request to assist.
"We certainly stand ready to provide assistance should that be required."
She said the government was aware of more than 90 Australians in Iraq and said her "strong advice" was that they should leave.
"The international airport in Baghdad continues to operate normally," she said.
"There are commercial flights available, indeed, Turkish airlines has announced additional flights.
"I do reiterate advice that Australians in Iraq should depart immediately."
Ms Bishop said Australians concerned about family and friends in Iraq should try to contact them directly as consular assistance had been reduced because of the crisis.
People unable to do so are encouraged to call the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade's 24-hour consular emergency centre on 1300 555 135, or +61 2 6261 3305 if calling from overseas.
Ms Bishop said the government had made arrangements for several diplomatic staff to leave the country.
"We will keep an essential core there but we've already made arrangements for some of our staff to leave," she said.
I know my Roman history pretty well. Do you know all the things Caligula did? I thought of Nero but Caligula's relentless pursuit of personal power to the point of naming himself a god; his totally corrupt nature; and his utter contempt of other branches of governemt reminded me a lot of Obama. Caligula appointed his horse to the Roman Senate and made Senators trot alongside his chariot. Hard to choose between Nero and C. but I think C. was probably the bigger S.O.B.
I think Caligula also once declared war on the ocean, and had his soldiers stab at the waves.

I had mine put in on the 22nd of October and I am still bleeding. Called the Dr. yesterday and they said to give it another week or 2 and if I am still constantly bleeding they are going to have to come in and do a blood count. She said since this is my 2nd child it takes longer to shed the lining of the uterus. I hate it and really want it removed but she said to hold out just a little longer!

I spotted for over a month. Now it's been over two weeks and I haven't had anything. I'm curious to find out if I'll have any kind of period or nothing at all.

Ready for a wild Turkey eve? Some places to go around Erie
Christmas Eve is a night we spend at home with family near a hearth and a crackling fire.
Thanksgiving Eve, on the other hand, is a night to go out and party. The Wednesday night before the final Thursday in November has local bars setting up for throngs of people looking for a good time.
Visiting relatives and friends unpack their suitcases and head out on the town in search of spirits and libations at their old stomping grounds. The night has become so big for some bars it nearly eclipses St. Patrick's Day.
Arguably the most popular spot in town on the eve of turkey day is the Plymouth Tavern. Manager Debbie Mancini recalls the well-known expression "I'll meet you at the Plymouth!" began as a reference to the tavern's annual Thanksgiving Eve party.
"It's always one of the best nights of the year at the Plymouth; the atmosphere is friendly and laid back," Mancini said. "The party's been a tradition for so many years, and we look forward to seeing everyone at the Plymouth that night as much as they enjoy coming here."
The Brewerie at Union Station is revving up for the Annual Great Pumpkin Jam.
"We put together a pumpkin celebration," general manager Chris Sirianni said. "In addition to a host of pumpkin beers and live music, we'll be serving pumpkin treats and desserts from Fuhrman's Cider Mill and Bakery."
The Erie Ale House is readying for its second Thanksgiving Eve by stocking up on, well, everything.
"Last year was kind of a wild ride," co-owner Eric Blake said. "This year we have a solid following of regulars so we expect to be pretty busy. But we're ready for an even bigger crowd."
Ryan Newara, owner of the Oasis Pub, is putting on a party with the help of an awesome out-of-town dance band.
"We booked Radioactive for that night," Newara said. "They're a super high-energy Top 40 dance band. They play songs that are topping the charts right now and hits from the '70s, '80s and '90s -- everything. It's an amazing band."
Whether you live in Erie or you're just in town for some turkey, stuffing and football, there will be no lack of things to do the night before the bird goes in the oven.
Here's a list of night spots sure to draw a crowd.

Roaster Tasting Notes: This area of Burundi is in the mountainous northern part of the country near the borders of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The small landholders who grow Ngoma are usually members of cooperative-like association of area farmers. The cultivar is Bourbon, an heirloom Arabica varietal that is fully washed and sun-dried on raised African beds. What results is a crisp, fruity acidity & full, yet silky body that balances with spicy and sweet citrus flavors, and notes of tobacco and cedar.

The Italian Genealogy and Heraldry Society of Canada celebrated its 21st anniversary on November 6th with a wine and pizza dinner at Paglione Estate Winery near Harrow Ontario. Winery owners and hosts Sam and Nancy Paglione served up the best brick oven pizza and quality wines we have ever had. The Paglione Estate Winery is now the official winery of the Society!

Society Registers New Coat-of-arms
The Society has recently updated and registered a new coat-of-arms. Our coat-of-arms features the symbol of the roman eagle in the shield set on top an azure blue background, which is our society colour as well as the official colour of Italy. The lower left tri-colour ribbon represents the flag of Italy, as the lower right ribbon of red and white represents the flag of Canada. The lions on either side of the shield are supporters that serve an ornamental function.
Festa dei Nonni 2011
The Italian Genealogy Society of Canada had it's most successful Fest dei Nonni or Grandparents Day Celebration at the Ciociaro Club near Windsor last Sunday, October 2, 2011. We had wonderful displays of family histories and Italian culture. There was also a very enjoyable comedy skit where society members and guests dress up like immigrants and try to answer questions questions from our President, Flavio Andreatta – who is a retired Canadian immigration officer. There was also a silent auction of various valuable and rare Italian cultural items to raise funds for the society. The dinner was excellent as well. Check out a few pictures of the event on our Picasa web album.

Tea Party Surge Just a Bump in the Road?
Tom Hall: Sure, the Tea Party will win this fall's election cycle. Yes, they will do every thing they can to disrupt any progressive efforts of the President. But even now, before their election victories have been counted, they are already beginning to war amongst themselves. They are eagerly acting to disprove any belief in the "values" they proclaim. Their hypocrisy will be their undoing.
Howard Zinn
Joseph Palerrmo: I saw Howard speak in Ithaca and in Santa Cruz and his talks were always so emotionally powerful and sensitive to human suffering and injustice. But he could also be hilariously funny, with a comedian's sense of timing. And he had the most developed sense of irony — and the ability to convey irony — of anyone I've ever seen or read.

R&B Singer Seduces You With Sixth Sense and Seventh Notes
Good r&b captures emotions too subtle for faster, less textural, less single-mindedly lovestruck genres. Take Avant, who's got a friendly, chatty tone to his voice that familiarizes his thematic matter until I begin to imagine all relationships hinge on candlelight seductions, cheating, forgiveness, and rosesand that nothing could be more American. Then, when he busts into an honest Midwest partytime anthem like "Have Some Fun," the effect is doubled. Which is the point of a good seduction: halfway to the bedroom before you even notice something's up. A few tracks later, who wouldn't fall for a chorus like, "I wanna be the smile you put on your face/I wanna be your hands when you say grace/I wanna be your favorite place"? Gene Kelly should dance to this! And on it goessnapping, trapping, macking, stealing through a serious catalog of ways to pull girlies.
The one exception is "Don't Take Your Love Away," whose central keyboard figure is an inverted arpeggiated seventh, like Hoobastank uses on "The Reason," but, y'know, swung harder. Instead of yowling though, Avant's tenor glides above sweetly. Even when he's down on his knees begging, it doesn't seem too exhausting; the inverse of the cocksure creep of his previous single "Read Your Mind." And in more ways than one: answering the almostX Files question of what happens when such a strong psychic bond is severed, when the mind reader looks too close and senses something that maybe he wishes he hadn't. Like the feeling when he reaches over and casually brushes his ex's hair, 'coz they're still, y'know, friends: a sort of panic flight, a quick "no" and a turn of the head, the sharp cold line of a neck. Or at least that's the feeling he imagines.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. - I think it would be safe to assume that Anthony Rendon has no shot at making the Nationals' opening day roster out of camp. After all, Rendon has only 133 career professional at-bats under his belt, and he batted just .162 in 21 games at Double-A Harrisburg, the highest level he saw last season.
