...released three weeks ago in Zimbabwe. The sounds are familiar - melodic mbira, twangy guitars, Big Band brass. The name comes from a type of protest music, but Mapfumo's manager, Cuthbert Chiromo, says Toi Toi is "more reflective, less political." Not apolitical - this is Mapfumo, after all. The biggest buzz among the fans is about the track Timothy. The song censures a fool who endangers children. The President is often called T.I.M. - "That Idiot Mugabe." Coincidence? Ask the music man himself, and he beams mischievously, saying only, "Great song!" Detractors say it's easy for Mapfumo to criticize since...
...caffeine and then throws in some bubbles for “fun.” This self-proclaimed “swanky sippable”—a blend of white wine and citrus zest—offers a caffeine hit comparable to a Frappucino and a nice buzz to boot. For those who would rather not mix their fixes, there are other innovative and non-alcoholic ways to get your daily dose of caffeine.

(When was the last time CSI made you call your best friend or holler back at your TV?) "Reality has proven that network television is still...
...buzz among homeowners continues to be about mortgage refinancing. Why? Because interest rates are still so low (6% for a typical 30-year loan). But what's more intriguing--and maybe a little scary--is the big surge in people taking out reverse mortgages. These are loans that let homeowners who are 62 or older take cash from their home equity and pay nothing back--not a cent--until they move out or die. Some reverse mortgages guarantee a fixed monthly payment for life (an annuity). By the latest measures available, the pace of new reverse mortgages has leaped...
