There was an age when trucks were trucks and cars were cars. There was a difference. Families who needed to haul people and boats did so in a Bronco, Wagoneer, or Suburban. The rest bought sedans or station wagons. Simple as that. Then things got complicated.
The minivan emerged, but its cargo carrying capability quickly turned into just baggage. That spawned the age of the rugged SUV, single handedly draining the Middle East oil fields. Now it's the crossover, an SUV-like body on a more fuel efficient car-like unibody chassis. If I could guess the next segment buster I wouldn't be writing this at 1am, I'd be using the knowledge for personal gain.
So for now, everyone's building crossovers, including BMW. They have three of them if you count the four-door coupe-like X6 and they would prefer it if you called them SAVs or sports activity vehicles. The newest is the second generation X3. It's now roomier, better looking and less expensive that the first one. Always a winning combination.
A Little History
Legend has it that Lexus, looking to compete in the hot sport-ute market (and flesh out a very anemic lineup) created the RX300 from an existing car chassis. It literally created the segment. RX was a home run, often the most popular model in the Lexus lineup and dominant in its class since introduction. The competition followed the money.
The first generation of X3 was launched with a suspension that was so rock hard, so punishing, die-hard Bimmer fans had to get their molars checked during regular service intervals. Eventually it was rectified, but I have to believe that the reputation took much of the momentum out of the original X3's sales.
The fresh new one is available in two models, both with xDrive standard (that's all-wheel drive to you and me). In BMW's ungainly new nomenclature they are the xDrive 35i and the one I'm driving, the xDrive 28i. The second gen X3 is a much better looking vehicle. An inch wider and three inches longer, it's a hair lower now (though ground clearance is up by a half inch) and it gives the overall design a nicely planted look. It's now nearly as big as the original X5.
Perfect? Well… no. A crease along the shoulder droops down toward the side marker up front. My eye is constantly drawn to it, hoping to straiten it out somehow.
The Go Parts
The xDrive 28i gets a 3.0-liter inline-6 complete with the usual BMW variable valve lift and Double-VANOS. They like to point out it's the world's lightest six cylinder engine for its size. There's 240 horsepower at 6,600 rpm and 221 lb-ft of torque between 2,600 and 3,000 rpm.
The automatic transmission is an eight, yes, eight-speed. It can be shifted manually on the console. If you have your heart set on a manual gearbox, sorry, ain't gonna happen but be happy knowing it's possible to drop from eighth gear straight to second if need be.
Enjoy driving? X3 will be high on your list. 0-60 comes up quick, just under seven seconds and remember, this is the smaller engine (xDrive 35i pumps out 300 horses). For a crossov…. I mean SAV, it's very nimble on it's feet , expected from a BMW. Fuel economy is EPA rated at 19 city, 25 highway. That nearly matches the efficiency of the Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid.
Ride quality is the coveted firm-yet-comfortable dynamic. Does it lean and roll in corners? No. Good road feel? Yes. Quiet on road trips? About average. Brakes? Excellent, with good modulation. In short it's what you would expect from BMW and in many ways a more successful design than their 5-Series GT. In hard cornering the stability control feathers in nicely and can be mostly defeated. Not exactly a 3 Series but, try the same maneuver in a Lexus RX and see what happens.
As a whole X3 buyers will seldom venture off-road, but even if it's just wet rainy streets, xDrive will be appreciated. The brave few that point their shiny Bimmer onto forest service roads should find no problems. I drove X3 on very rough dirt roads and in deep mud and it shrugged it off easily. The Rubicon Trail is another story. X3 is not designed for severe off-roading in case you're thinking about trading in a Jeep Wrangler. There's hill decent control, I didn't find a situation where I needed it.
Haven't We Met Before?
If you were blindfolded and were in the X3's interior when it was removed you'd know instantly you were being kidnapped in a BMW. It's very familiar, right down to the unique tan color of the lower instrument panel that's just got to be trademarked by them. There's the usual clean purposeful gauges, high quality materials with a conservative design, and a sound system that, with a slight brush, previews the radio presets.
The large LCD screen that displays the blizzard of menu items is crisp and clear. The same can't always be said about the iDrive user interface but it has been improved. The heated leather seats are very supportive with the seat cushions adjustable for length. Heated steering wheels, an option here, are terrific.
I continue to find BMWs transmission joystick less than elegant in operation. The concept is very easy to grasp but I occasionally find myself in "neutral" when thinking "drive" is selected. The small button for "park" is just that, small. Also distracting is the rear defrosting elements that don't run straight across, they are curved like a rainbow or radar screen. I feel like I'm hunting for Red October every time I look in the rear view mirror.
This car is equipped with the Premium Package that includes Fineline Siena wood, giving the cabin a warm inviting feeling, and a panoramic glass roof that keeps things light and airy. Phone and iPod integration are standard, Sirius satellite radio is optional. For cupholder aficionados, both a regular coffee cup and Godzilla, my giant thermal mug fit just fine.
In back the X3 is fairly spacious, two passengers will be very comfortable with decent knee and legroom, 3 should be just fine. The middle passenger has to straddle the larger driveshaft tunnel, otherwise things like headroom are fine. There are lots of places to store things (door panel slots, map pockets, the fold down center arm rest) and electronics can be charged from the 12v power port. The rear seats don't slide fore and aft to max out passenger or cargo room. My tester gets a 60/40 split seat back, a 40/20/40 unit is optional.
People buy these rigs because they need to haul big things, like big bundles of bath tissue (which I realize might be a personal thing on my part). As far as cargo space, X3 does just fine. 9 packs of TP is average in class. There's space under the load floor but no spare. X3 sports run-flat tires. On the wall of the cargo area is my new favorite accessory, a big thick elastic band that holds stuff in place.
Other Considerations
Obviously, the X3 is not the only luxury crossover on the market. The Lexus RX400 is still the big kahuna but the wise buyer will also be cross-shopping Mercedes Benz GLK, Volvo XC60, Audi Q5 and Cadillac SRX. Things have changed dramatically in the business over the last five years and if you're not out test driving different brands, you're doing yourself a big disfavor.
X3 is built in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The base price is $38,275 but who drives a stripped BMW? Mine is optioned up to $44,165. Want navigation or a back up camera? That'll be an additional $3,200 thank you. Heated seats for your friends in the back seat? That's part of the $1,150 Cold Weather package. You get my point.
To soften that, BMW pays for all of the maintenance for four years or 50,000 miles. Also, there's the intangible bonus of great handling that the others don't quite match. It's hard to imagine the automotive world without crossovers now. They're practical, and great in bad weather. The X3 does all of the things other crossovers do, it just has a little more fun doing it.

When I was about six or seven, I was delegated to walk with my grandma, Christianna Kaster, to church on Sunday because grandma was a little lightheaded. I never thought until I was an adult that Grandma was larger than I, and what if she did fall on me, then what? That was my first experience with the Moravia Grace Methodist Church. It reached up to the stars and was tall enough to see God. I wondered about this until I met the current minister, Cindy Fenn. She was all excited about a dinner at noon on Sunday, March 11 where each one of the attendees would help in a historical timeline and show when that happened. Cindy is very capable of transferring her joy and delight to others on such a wonderful day. I encourage everyone who wants to be part of such a great experience to be there at the Moravia Methodist Church on Sunday, March 11 at noon. I told her my story about what it Grandma would fall on me. She said, "But you would wriggle out and go save you both." It will be in my best story ever told for a long time and a good memory of Cindy even longer. You must call if you would like to be included for the lunch on March 11. The number is (641) 724-3707.
Very early in the history of Moravia, there were folks of the Methodist faith, so that two years after the town was laid out in 1853, a Methodist class was organized, composed of Mr. Shinn and wife, William Elswick and wife, and a few others. Fourteen years later, the first church house was built in 1867 at a cost of $500, during the ministry of the Rev. C.B. Clark in the beginning and the Rev. Mann in the finishing of the building. The early pastors were circuit riders and supplied Moravia from the Unionville Church which was reorganized as the head of the circuit.
In the winter of 1893, the Rev. Ireland held a revival meeting, assisted by his brother-in-law, the Rev. W.S. Gardener. The old church soon proved inadequate and the unexpected took place. The meetings were transferred to the town hall, where great crowds attended. Scores of people were converted and a great revival for the church occurred. Moravia now clamored for a pastor independently. In September of the following year, the Annual Conference held at Fairfield divided the Unionville circuit so that a new circuit was formed composed of Moravia, Wesley and Hilton. The Rev. Lathan Ingham, a transfer from Nebraska, was appointed as the first pastor of this charge.
In 1895 two lots, a residence and a barn, were purchased from Dr. Hague Hoffman for $1,000. This provided the pastor with a house. The same year the new church was started at a cost of $4,000. The cornerstone was laid June 11, 1896. Dedication took place Nov. 15 of the same year.
During the pastorate of O.J. Fix, the old church was showing signs of wear and needed repairing. A remodeling was started. After reconsideration it was decided the remodeling might cost $10,000. The trustee board authorized a new church to be built at a cost of approximately $25,000. The new church was dedicated April 21, 1928.
When the church was dedicated a loan of $11,000 was secured to cover a shortage of funds and pledge not paid in. Due to economic conditions, many pledges were not paid and only a small amount of principal was taken care of. The church also defaulted in interest payments and this brought the debt to $14,000. Through the efforts of the Rev. Chas. L. Ellis and a committee from the Ladies Aid, a campaign was conducted to raise $1,000 in cash. The finance company had agreed to reduce the amount of debt from approximately $14,000 to $4,500, the church people to pay $1,000 in cash and the balance in installment of $5,000 per year, the installments to include interest, which meant that the amount due had been spread over a period of about 10 years. A soliciting committee, consisting of 12 members of the Ladies Aid, conducted a campaign to raise the $1,000.
This was a success and the amount of $1,000 was paid to the finance company.
For a period of approximately 20 years, the women of the church served a dinner every Friday to the public for 25¢ per plate. There were six committees making each committee serve once every six weeks. During the threshing season in the summer months, the dinners were served to the threshing crews. Sometimes several farmers would brings their crews the same day. One summer they served threshers every week day for a month except for one day. The proceeds from these dinners were mostly used for payment of the church debt.
Four women I know, were referred to as the Cake Bakers, who were the ones to call for many years if you wanted a glorious cake. The cakes were baked at home and frosted and decorated at the church. Carolyn Van Dorin and Venetah Tubaugh baked cakes. Grace Whitehead and Hilda Walters decorated. Carolyn and Grace must have made 1,000 roses and other flowers. They took their husbands out to eat once a year and paid for supplies and everything else went to church projects. They did this for more than 20 years.
This present Moravia Methodist Church was dedicated April 1, 1928 and took the place of a building built in 1896 after all the long years of work done by both women and men.
In April of 1927 the old building was wrecked and work began on the new building. On Aug. 14, 1927, the cornerstone of Monella Wisconsin Granite, a gift by T.J. Turner and Son, was laid with appropriate services in charge of District Superintendent W.R. Keesey. He was assisted by the Rev. A.F. Ludwig of Blakesburg and the Rev. L.E. Cox of Iconium and the Rev. J.E. Ward of Unionville. A history of the church was presented by the pastor which with the following are the contents placed in the copper receptacle in the center of the bottom stone. A copy of the Moravia Union, a local newspaper, one copy of the Northwestern Christian Advocate, our official church paper, one copy of the latest Conference minutes or journal, one copy of the latest Discipline presented by the Epworth League, one copy of the Bible presented by the Young Women's Class of Mrs. J.W. Halden, one $5 gold piece presented by Miss Ann Brain's Class of Young boys, ages 10 to 13, $1 in silver and 1¢ in copper. The building is 55x72 feet in size, 18 feet high to the cornice, with asbestos shingled hip roof, two entrance towers, 42 feet high. It has an auditorium 30x50 feet with an ante room to the rear 20x30 feet and a balcony directly above the same dimensions. The choir loft is 18x20 feet directly behind the pulpit. In the platform beside the pulpit, conveniently arranged is a double compartment baptistry. There are eight Sunday School and the pastor's office. There are 21 rooms and a dining room 32x32 vestibules. In the basement is a 16x24 kitchen, two children's rooms and a dining room 32x32 with other classrooms included. The basement is tile floored and has an electric pump to pump water. The coal room is in the northwest corner and the furnace room next to it. All basement rooms can be opened by means of folding doors so as to make one large room for lectures and entertainments. Mr. F.W. Blumenstock, a member of the church, a local architect and contractor, was employed to get out plans and proceed with the construction. He had experience in planning and construction, having constructed several Moravian buildings in Europe and America and his faith was as a Moravian. He built a church in the image of the ones he saw in his own country, Moravia, now part of the Czech Republic. He came looking for the Moravian faith in the United States and found it in Moravia in a Methodist congregation. The church basement was dug by horses using a slip scrape. The two workers handled scoop by digging front edges and pushed on handles so each scoop took dirt out just where it was needed.
The building is built of brick veneer of "Twintex" brick of Des Moines on the outside and common tile and brick on the inside. There is a main flue in the north wall and two invisible flues in the east towers. The art glass windows are exceptional day and night from the Decorative Art Glass of Davenport. The glass is laid in zinc, brightly polished. The plaster is rough sand finish, ready for decoration. It was put in by George Firkins, a local electrician. The trimming of ivory white paint and light oak varnish was put on by Will Laws and brothers. The plumbing was down by Allen Hiatt and George Johnson. Heat was furnished by a Mueller furnace with fan attachment. From October of 1926 to April 1, 1928 the Methodist people had been without a church. For a while they held day services in the Crystal Theatre and evening services in at the Christian Church. In the past winter, they had met for all services in the school house.
The teachers of all the adult classes, the eight-nine classes, all the adult classes, combined to a big Kingdom Builders class. I remember Grandma Kaster had me to escort her to some of these classes as they were held on Sunday evenings so I helped her in the dark as the streetlights program was not completed at that time. People of many occupations made for interesting subjects, some of these teachers were: merle Smith, John Veach, Fay Luse, Evelyn Daniels, Gale Tuttle, John Grenfel, Tom Robb, Jean Robb, Debbie Gaither, Sylvan VanDorin, Carolyn VanDorin, Grace Whitehead, Delmar and Donald Dowd and Joyce and Lois Hiatt. This group was expanded with co-op meals and pot luck. They are friends as well as good church members and truly enjoy each other's company.
I have enjoyed this time of revisiting my childhood.

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — NORTH TONAWANDA — Veteran homelessness is a growing problem across Western New York, with an estimated 1,700 in the Buffalo area.
With those statistics in mind, several local veterans' advocate groups have formed a coalition to focus the public's attention on this issue.
On Saturday, all are invited to "Come Fly a Kite for Homeless Veterans," a free family event from noon to 4 p.m. at Gratwick Park on River Road, North Tonawanda.
Vets H.E.R.D (Helping Returning and Disabled Veterans), Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 77, VA Home Front Project and the WNY Veterans' Housing Coalition have joined together to sponsor the event.
"This family oriented event will host individuals and families from across Western New York," said Joe Pasek, a member of the coordinating committee.
Young and old are invited to join the fun of flying a kite.
"We're giving away 800 kites to anyone who doesn't have one," said Jack Michel, event coordinator.
To reserve a kite, register at www.kitesforvets.com or call 435-7210.
Those attending are urged to bring their own kites, if possible.
Food and drinks will be available for purchase and cash donations will be accepted.
Sponsors for the event are also needed.
"We have several levels of sponsorships available," Pasek said. "Sponsorships help our agencies bring public attention to homelessness among veterans as well as allowing us to continue to prvide help to veterans and their families," he added.
"Homelessness is deplorable in a country as rich as ours," Pasek said. "Homelessness among veterans is unforgivable. This is not the way to thank those who gave their all for us," he added.
For more information or to become an event sponsor, go online at www.kitesforvets.com or call Celia O'Brien with the WNY Veterans Housing Coalition at 515-5844 or Michel with the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 77 at 435-7210.

Patch looks back at some of the biggest business stories in North Hempstead.
1. Hain Celestial plans to relocate to Lake Success. The company aims to add 100 jobs in 10 years The Hain Celestial Group, a provider of natural and organic products, says it will expand its international corporate headquarters in Lake Success, and add 100 new jobs during the next decade.
The company, which currenlty has offices in Melville, plans to relocate 250 of its employees to new, leased office space in Lake Success, which Newsday described as 86,104 square feet at 1111 Marcus Ave., and once home to the United Nations.
2. R-Best Produce, a Bronx-based wholesale produce distributor, plans to move to Port Washington. The company's principals also run Uncle Giuseppe's, according to Newsday, which reported that the move would bring 51 jobs to Nassau in 2013, with another 12 more by 2017.
3. Pet Menu opens a new location in New Hyde Park. This dog and cat food business, started by Aharon Blachorsky and Abe Kanfer, opened its doors 22 years ago in Queens. Patch wrote about the shop's New Hyde Park location in December.
4. Port Commons, a strip mall in Port Washington, is now fully occupied. New businesses include Bach to Rock, which has postponed its grand opening in the wake of Superstorm Sandy. Also new to the mix, Smashburger, Sunny Nail Spa, Adult & Pediatric Dermatology, Vintage Grapes Premiums and Hand and Stone Spa. Meanwhile, 16 Handles just celebrated its one year anniversary.
5. Sen. Jack Martins congratulated Jamaica Bearings in New Hyde Park. The business received the Defense Logistics Vendor of Excellence award. Jamaica Bearings is a family-owned business that was started 78 years ago by Frank Negri. Now the company stands as the preeminent supplier of bearings and related products to the aerospace, military and a host of major industries around the world. The company is now under the leadership Peter Negri.
6. New shops coming to Great Neck Plaza. Coming soon: Bagel & Deli Cafe. And in January, Pinkberry, the frozen yogurt chain, expects to hold its grand opening.
7. Plans for the Soundview Movie Theater are still on Hold in Port Washington. Jordan and Dara Desner, from Plainview, have been trying to open the theater in the 183,400-square-foot shopping center, which has been in foreclosure. The Desners had hoped to open by Memorial Day 2012, and when that didn't happen, by Thanksgiving. But before they can move foreward, they first need Nassau County Supreme Court approval in order to begin renovations. Patch will report more as new information is revealed.
8. Patch is now in Great Neck. Editor Rich Jacques, who took the reins in the fall, is reporting the news and views in Great Neck, covering schools, sports, business, government and entertainment.
9. Mama Soup opened in Mineola, taking over the space once occupied by the Benchmark Café, which had gone out of business. Mama Soup took over the space at the start of the summer and began renovating the interior to mirror that of its College Point location, with a copper-tin ceiling and a replica pot hanging on the rear wall.
10. Deadlines loom for businesses needing Sandy assistance. Resources are available from federal, state and county government, and one filing deadline extended. North Hempstead business leaders attended a seminar at Harbor Links Club House in Port Washington in December to hear advice from federal, state and local officials on post-Sandy recovery. The event was sponsored by the Town of North Hempstead Business & Tourism Development Corp.

This is our first Christmas at Lownsdale. The day after Christmas last year was a work day filled with deconstructing the house. We are pleased to report that this Christmas will involve relaxing with and loving our families, instead of inducing manual labor upon them.
Christmas came early for me this year, as I found out that I passed the National Certification for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) exam and am now a certified interior designer! Christmas also came early for Matt this year as our long-awaited delivery arrived yesterday and took its place next to the built-in. I feel as though the puzzle piece we were missing all year is now in place:
There is truly a magical feeling in the house this time of the year, as the floor to ceiling windows provide a close up view of the northeast Ohio white out. Our lot is totally shaded so we don't get any direct sunshine through the windows most of the year. With the leaves gone, the sun's reflectance off the snow brightens the inside of the house and warms our spirits. As disheartening as this weather can be, snow is so beautiful! It has provided the perfect amount of illumination to assist in my gift wrapping fetish. I agree that the most rewarding part about giving gifts is pleasing loved ones; however, getting to creatively wrap them is a close second.
The 'decorator' in me can't help but share a few shots of the festive decor covering the house this month. From our home to yours, Merry Christmas!

Comments about Easton Havoc UST Wheels Gray Color '12:
There is a reason Steve Smith, and Graham Agassiz ride these wheels, they are solid, fast and indestructible... They are pretty light too. I've been using them for about 9 months now, and have yet to dent, or ding them. My first ride on them was Noble Canyon. Despite hitting and throwing huge rocks everywhere, they weren't even scratched when I was done... I don't know what Easton did, but these wheels want to keep spinning. I've paired them with the Schwalbe Hans Dampf and have yet to get a flat. Bottom line: AWESOME!!

He's often greeted with applause -- but today, Tiger Woods was met with awkward silence from about 500 fans on the first tee at Augusta National in Georgia.
He was on the course early today to start a practice round with Fred Couples in advance of this week's Masters, which marks his return to golf.
There was an occasional shout of "Welcome back, Tiger." And Woods turned to acknowledge the fans with a nod and a smile. It's something he rarely did before the sex scandal that sent him to the sidelines amid intense public scrutiny and some ridicule.
Woods hooked his opening tee shot toward the ninth fairway and hit another. He walked briskly, chatting with Couples as fans lining the fairways took pictures of every step.

To the editor:
Earlier this week, I sent in to the Gloucester Daily Times two versions of a letter to the editor with a request that the second, later revised version, not the first, be printed. Unfortunately, the first version was printed. In the revised letter, I had eliminated the statement "AGH investments had enriched Northeast by more than $9 million a year every year since the merger." That paragraph should have said:
"An independent financial analyst of health care organizations has reviewed the audited financial reports of Northeast since 1996. He concludes that AGH has been a financial boon, not a drain, on Northeast. At least 55 percent of Northeast's investment portfolio originated at AGH, now worth over $90 million. AGH cumulative investment income has been more than enough to offset operating deficits with lots to spare."

Formed in 2011 by Sal Abruscato, co-founder (with the late, great Peter Steele) of the gothic metal giant Type O Negative and drummer on many of Type O's most legendary releases like Bloody Kisses, A Pale Horse Named Death carries over many of that band's themes of gloom, doom and darkness... and death, obviously. Sal joined forces with Matt Brown, guitarist for Seventh Void, in a partnership he described as a "murdering evil version of Lennon and McCartney," and the colossal result was the band's debut album And Hell Will Follow Me. Accompanied by an ominously beautiful art booklet created by acclaimed artist Sam Shearon (whose credits include illustrations for H.P. Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu and promo art for Rob Zombie and KISS), that record was a haunting showcase of low, heavy and horror-infused hard rock with a classic horror vibe.
While the lyrical themes were steeped in grand-scale horror imagery, Abruscato says the songs still "have a line to reality… things that could and do happen every day." In a way, that makes the music even more haunting. The sequel to that first cinematic experience, entitled Lay My Soul to Waste, just dropped this week, and I dare say it's even darker than its predecessor.
This band knows how to serve up a somber, shadow-cloaked mood with style – much like Type O always did, but where that band often dosed the recipe with bitter irony and deadpan satire, Pale Horse instead offer a richer, more cinematic atmosphere that pulls you into a collection of macabre tales. The intro/title track is case in point; it's nothing but back-masked incantations amid nocturnal forest sounds, and it'll make your flesh crawl. From there we march deeper into darkness with the beefy, coarse rhythms of "Shallow Grave," the first single and a truly stunning kickoff to the record (be sure to give it a spin at the end of this review). Sal's vocals fall in the middle range, setting them apart from Peter Steele's vampiric bass-baritone – and closer to those of another fallen rock hero, Alice in Chains' Layne Staley; they are tracked and treated in a similar style to both bands, giving the songs a gritty urgency, backed by dangerously heavy instrumentation.
The guitars whine menacingly in "The Needle in You," in a serpentine time signature; when Sal delivers the line "I am Lucifer," it's pretty damn convincing. Creepy tremolo effects and a crushing opening riff make "In the Sleeping Death" one of the doomiest tracks; that tremolo returns for "Cold Dark Mourning," played against clean guitars for a musical eulogy, and (in my mind, anyway) a fitting memorial for the legacies of Steele and Staley. Not surprisingly, a funereal vibe permeates most of this album; church organ lends a somber dirge feel to "Growing Old," and blends with guitar for one of my favorite hooks. Beginning appropriately enough with thunderstorm effects, the ominous "Day of the Storm" is much in the mode of down-tempo Type O dirges like "Haunted," and the pensive acoustic guitar piece "Dead of Winter" is the most evocative of Alice in Chains, but with a ghostly edge all its own.
It's not all gloom and doom, suprisingly: a tough sleaze-rock vibe permeates "Killer by Night," thanks to bluesy double-tracked riffs and gravel-voiced verses, although it's ironed out by smooth vocal harmonies on the chorus; that gritty grind gets a kick in the ass with "Devil Came With a Smile," the most mischievous and fun song here, putting the band's own spin on the sell-your-soul scenario. "DMSLT" is a more straightforward rock track, but sports some mighty guitar chugs that keep the dark energy going.
I hate to keep drawing comparisons to other bands, but it's just too fitting to overlook... and I'm also saying it's a good thing: if you want to explore the same landscape of ominous, urgent tones and themes that Type O Negative and Alice in Chains charted so expertly, then I recommend you take a ride on this Horse. I'd also love to see a video or other visual accompaniment come out of this project, just to see Sam Shearon's amazing imagery brought to life alongside the music and let the story unfold further... but for now, we'll just have to unite those elements in our imaginations. Here's the track "Shallow Grave" to help get you started.

The Dig is your best UTEP and C-USA Round-Up.
Coach Mike Price, Braxton Amy, and Andre Patterson on UTEP's First Day of Training Camp. Among the highlights, Braxton Amy is returning punts, for the first time in his career. Coach Price says UTEP doesn't have starting linebackers set yet, so we'll see how the battles involving Isiah Carter, Jamie Irving, Jeremy Springer, and Anthony Morrow. Braxton Amy: "This might be my favorite defensive set I've had since I've been here." Also, towards the end, new Miner kicker and punter Dakota Warren and new QB Javia Hall field some questions.
With Trevor Vittatoe a senior and non-scholarship player Carson Meger looking like the likely #2 quarterback for the Miners, it's essential that Mike Price add another quarterback to the 2011 class. We do have Javia Hall coming in August to provide some breathing room. Excerpt: "Keeton had 24 total touchdowns and had nearly 2400 yards of offense. This summer, Keeton looks to make stops by TCU, Rice, Air Force, UTEP and Tulane for camps."

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — The University of Oklahoma's Lloyd Noble Center was a sea of emerald as Norman North High School's class of 2013 gathered with thousands of family and friends to celebrate their commencement.
Preceding reflections by graduates Alex Zhu, Emma Youngblood, 2013 class president Courtney Clark, Principal Bryan Young and Superintendent Joe Siano was a moment of silence for the state's tornado victims.
A performance by the NNHS Jazz Choir provided musical highlights, as the choir sang "In my Life" by Lennon & McCarntney and "Fix You" by Coldplay.
"Four years ago we entered Norman North unsure of the future, scared or excited. Now the school looks up to us as we led North through its most successful year," Zhu said. "If we accomplished what we did as high school students, imagine what we'll accomplish next."
Accomplishment was the distinct theme of the evening, as all three graduates focused heavily on the class of 2013's successes athletically and philanthropically, with Siano's brief remarks also reflecting a theme of pride and optimism.
"There is nothing more important than celebrating the success of our schools as we do tonight," Siano said.
"Our hope as your faculty and administrators is that your education will empower you to accomplish your future goals as you proceed."
Major points of pride for 2013's Norman North grads were athletic accolades at the state level and particularly the school's raising more than $200,000 in its annual fundraiser, SPUD week.
"We each contributed something highly individual to our school and our class," Clark said. "But what truly defined and set us apart was our coming together as individuals to collectively accomplish a goal together."

Living in California, we spend a decent amount of time staring out into the Pacific, pondering its beauty. But this article on CNN.com will make you look at the ocean in a whole new — and not so majestic — way.
Research Ship Finds the World's Oceans Are 'Plasticized'
A marine expedition of environmentalists has confirmed the bad news it feared — the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" extends even further than previously known.
Organized by two non-profit groups — the Algalita Marine Research Foundation and the 5 Gyres Institute — the expedition is sailing from the Marshall Islands to Japan through a "synthetic soup" of plastic in the North Pacific Ocean on a 72-feet yacht called the Sea Dragon, provided by Pangaea Exploration.
The area is part of one of the ocean's five tropical gyres — regions where bodies of water converge, with currents delivering high concentrations of plastic debris. The Sea Dragon is visiting the previously unexplored western half of the North Pacific gyre — situated below the 35th parallel, and home to a massive expanse of plastic particles known as the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" — to look for plastic pollution and study its effect on marine life.
Leading the expedition is Marcus Eriksen, a former U.S. marine and Ph.D student from University of Southern California.

After almost 70 years of steady operation, some big changes are coming to nearby Little Silver Liquors in the coming weeks as the store transitions under its new owner.
Bill Kenney, who's lived in town since 2004, recently bought the Little Silver staple, which has been owned by the same family since its doors opened in 1944.
Now dubbed the Little Silver Bottle Shop, the store will begin to offer an increased selection of wines and Kenney said he would concentrate on expanding the quality and value of what customers will find on the shelves.
The store, which Kenney believes to be the oldest continually running retail establishment in Little Silver, was opened by Ralph Ribustelli who ran it until his son, Robert, took over about 30 years ago.
"I'm very grateful to the Ribustellis," said Kenney. "They've served our community well for nearly 70 years. It's not often that a small town business has that kind of longevity. It's very humbling to become a part of that history.
Kenney said he hopes to retain some of that history while bringing some improvements to the store. For example, the shop will be open on Sundays starting in July and will accept credit cards as soon as next week.
Already, new wooden floors have been installed and a grapey hue covers the store's shelving.
Kenney plans to improve signage for the Bottle Shop after gaining the necessary approvals from the borough.
There are also plans for unique programs, community support initiatives, regular wine tastings and classes, said Kenney.
Little Silver Bottle Shop will remain open for business as improvements are made over the next few weeks. Starting in July, the new shop hours will be Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
A "Grand Re-Introduction" to the community is planned around the July 4 holiday, said Kenney.

NORFOLK, Va. - - The world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has been retired from active service in the U.S. Navy.
The USS Enterprise ended its notable 51-year career on Saturday during a ceremony at Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia.
Thousands of former crew members, ship builders and their families lined a pier to bid farewell to one of the most decorated ships in the Navy.
The ship served in every major conflict since participating in a blockade during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
With the inactivation, the U.S. fleet is temporarily reduced to 10 aircraft carriers while the USS Gerald R. Ford is built. It will join the fleet in 2015.
Navy Secretary Ray Mabus said in a recorded video message during the ceremony that a future aircraft carrier would be named USS Enterprise.
