Questions and Answers and Questions
Her name is Sasha Bell, she plays keyboards and sings in the E6-affiliated Essex Green and the Ladybug Transistor, and the Finishing School is her band. It's so her band, actually, that I can't find any information on who else, if anyone else, plays in her band. That's just the first mystery about Destination Girl, the first record by the Finishing School, in a long line of mysteries. Here, we solve some more like Nancy frickin' Drew.
In the CD era, can a 31-minute release really be considered an album
The Finishing School
Destination Girl
(The Telegraph Company)
US: 23 Sep 2003
UK: Available as import
In general, I would vote no; I've heard dance remixes that last longer than 31 minutes, and that is kind of a scanty number even for a Willie Nelson record in the 1970s. But here on Destination Girl the answer has to be yes. These nine songs certainly share a similar sound and feel, but that's not what makes an album. What makes an album is the creation of a mood, and Bell has created a mood here that few other records this year even attempt: enigmatic, lovely, tough-minded. When it ends, with the final strains of the cow-pokey "Page 16", I'm not mad and don't feel cheated—I just push play again. (Plus, I just found out this morning that there is a bonus DVD included with the record, so it's a good investment.)
Is it okay, in the year 2003, to slavishly rip off 1960s arrangements?
Well, of course—what a ridiculous question. The only real issue here is "Is it done well?" And the answer is "Oh yeah." An organ sound is always cool, so Bell uses it a lot, and makes it sound different on every song, from the Farfisa on the precious country opener "Reno" to the churchy drone of "New Sensation" to the Breakfast in America throb on "Silent Space." Burt Bacharach pop pops up on "Morning Light", which is so crystalline and easygoing that you'd swear Dionne Warwick was going to start singing. "Hair" has the same kind of vibe as those Simon and Garfunkel songs that started as folky strumfests and had artificial "rock" arrangements slapped on top to make them palatable to hippies. The title track is straight Tom Wilson production on Dylan records with Phil Spector strings floating above it all. And these are all good things.
Is this some kind of concept album?
No, although rumors are that it started out that way. Or maybe it is and it's just too subtle for me to tell, in which case it's not. The songs have different focal points. Sometimes, Bell is playing the retro angle for all it's worth: "Destination Girl" seems to be some kind of modern self-deprecating indie-pop anthem at first: "Hypothetically / Could you see some good in me / I feel like somebody / You wouldn't even look at twice". But then it shifts subtly, imperceptibly, to become a kind of mission statement for the jet-setting young female professional of 37 years ago, discovering her new independence: "All this walking, driving, flying / My flag unfurled / My future's here, and I'm arriving / Destination girl". It's sublime beyond all specter of a doubt, especially when Bell links up the two strains of the song with the end refrain: "Nothing ever changes, nothing ever changes". Is the modern woman really no better off than she was before?
This sounds kind of all over the place. Is it?
Yes and no—I told you, it's an enigma. Sasha Bell is a canny songwriter who knows what will sound good with her fragile wistful voice: songs of innocence and experience, songs that exist as enigmae. The outlaw I'll-walk-alone toughness of "Reno" ("I'm going out where my body can roam / I got my name, my pride, and that's all") is balanced internally by the chiming of the track, which softens us up to hear that message; and when the Morricone guitar takes a two-bar solo, it whips our head around again. To shift from this to the barrelhouse bubblegum orchestral-pop "Rowan's Theme" or the folky waltzy "Day Is Over" just seems wrong on paper, but Bell's pretty voice and fresh lyrical slant and shifty crafty song structures tie it all together in a weird and sweet way.
Tell us more, briefly, about the lyrics.
I think these are probably the best lyrics I've heard this year, maybe only touched by Over the Rhine's record. Example 1: "I can be the secret that you don't wanna keep / Let me out the door, and I will cling to the seat / Have we not learned a thing / From the silent space in between?" ("Silent Space"). Example 2: "And if I appear to look right through you / Don't be alarmed / I'm just blinded by the morning light on you" ("Morning Light"). Example 3: "From the year that you describe / I never know which way I'm looking / The sad café still has room / For wanderers like you" ("New Sensation"). If these don't seem like poetry to you, well, you're probably right—Sasha Bell is not a poet. She's a songwriter. And with the kind of lovely music that backs these tracks, that makes it all okay.
Do you think you did justice to this record?
Uh, no.
Did you just put this on your Top 10 list for the year?
Uh, yes. Yes I did. And it might just stay there.

LOWELL The Bruins players are hopeful that there will be an NHL season, and that the season will start on time with Opening Night scheduled for Oct. 11 on the road against the Philadelphia Flyers.
But theres a wide chasm between the NHL and the NHLPA with the current CBA set to expire on Sept. 15, and theres every expectation that at least a portion of the season will be missed due to labor issues. So some Bruins players are already making their preparations in case there is no NHL hockey for at least a few months to start next year, and much of that is centered on Europe.
Theres a good chance that a player like 20-year-old Tyler Seguin and 21-year-old Jordan Caron will be playing for the Providence Bruins given that theyre on entry level deals with only a certain number of games played under their belts. Mike Mottau said he already has a few concrete offers from Europe if thats the direction he wants to head toward for next year, and those offers will look more attractive if the NHL cant get its act together.
It would make plenty of sense for 25-year-old Tuukka Rask to head back to his native Finland if labor issues continue into October and November, but the goalie said he hadnt made any of those plans as of yet.
I didnt go through a work stoppage the last time around, so Im not even sure what I would do, said Rask. Hopefully well be playing hockey and I wont have to make that decision.
Dennis Seidenberg said he was also hoping to start the year on time with the Bruins, but already envisioned playing in Germany with his younger brother, Yanick, if theres a lengthy work stoppage. Both Seidenberg brothers have played for the Mannheim Eagles in the past, and the Bs defensemans younger brother will be playing there this season.
The elder Seidenberg said he actually looked forward to the opportunity to play with his 5-foot-7, 160-pound younger brother if the situation was right.
My younger brother plays in Germany, so it would be nice to play with him if the situation got to that, said Seidenberg, who is 2 years older than Yanick. For now I havent put enough thought into it to say what I would do. But he plays for Mannheim, the team I used to play for over there.
Id love to play with him, but Im hoping that it doesnt happen.
As things creep closer to the season odds are that youll hear much more about members of the Bruins roster scattering all over the world to earn some money while their main paychecks are being held up during a potential lockout.
Bruins starting to make alternate plans if there is a lockout

I LOVE my GPS, but it isn't fool proof. Or, this owner doesn't really know how to make it work. In any case, you HAVE to know that Sunset Cemetery is in Galloway not in Columbus. Otherwise, you'll be 30 minutes on the WRONG side of Columbus. Thankfully, when I figured this out, a wonderful brake shop took pity on this crazy lady with no cell phone, called the cemetery and I got my GPS pointed in the right direction.
|Photo by Brent Nimmo posted on FindAGrave.com
I'll admit that Sunset Cemetery had me worried prior to my arrival. I was told that they couldn't give me a section map and that they'd take me to my stones when I arrived. Really? I don't want to set an appointment that I can't keep. I want a flexible schedule to visit cemeteries. However, the cemetery took the names I was interested in (so I limited it to family only).
When I got to the right side of town, I saw a very nice cemetery. When I went inside the office, I was so pleased. Bill had made sure that the staff knew I was coming, who I was looking for, and had prepared a map with highlighted section information for me. THANK YOU!
All was set and off I went to find my Dad's uncle George Barton GEISZLER and his wife Mary Ruth Smith GEISZLER. I had hoped to find a stone for Thomas Tillinghart MULFORD, but he apparently doesn't have a marker.
The cemetery provided me with a labeled aerial map. Sweet. I could see things like trees to orient me. Then I had the easy to read and understand section map. I soon found George and Mary Ruth. I snapped 50 photos in all and left the cemetery.
|George Barton Geiszler
Sunset Cemetery
THANK YOU Sunset cemetery for being so easy to deal with. I had dreaded going out there based on phone conversations (the whole meet with someone to go to the sections), but I should not have. All cemeteries should be as easy to work with as you and St. Joseph's cemetery.
This is another installment in a lengthy multi-series post about the fantastic research trip I took to Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio. If you're just joining the this series, you'll be able to see every post under the label Research Trip.

Football: Broncos return to playoffs
A few months ago, bringing Denton up in a discussion even remotely related to the playoffs would have drawn all kinds of strange looks.
With just two wins in the previous three seasons entering 2010, the Broncos weren't even favored to win a district game -- much less be in the postseason hunt. So Denton making the playoffs was pretty much impossible, right?
Apparently, the Broncos didn't get that memo.
For the first time since 2002, Denton will play more than a 10-game season after clinching a playoff berth by knocking off The Colony on the road in its season finale.
The only thing wilder than the Broncos' remarkable turnaround in District 4-4A this year has been the way they've done it.
Denton (4-6) exceeded its win total for the past three years during this season alone, and the Broncos did it in thrilling fashion. The Broncos won all four of their games by a combined eight points -- each of which required a clutch fourth-quarter comeback or a last-minute drive.
Not bad for a team that, until this year, had little to no big-game experience.
"When we get down and we start trying to play back and we're wondering what we're going to do, someone just always steps up," junior quarterback Dentton Hudspeth said. "Those people stepping up gets contagious, and it just builds and builds and we're able to come away with those Ws."
Take the Broncos' nondistrict contests against Carrollton R.L. Turner and Fort Worth Brewer -- exhibit A in Denton's turnaround.
Fresh off of a heartbreaking loss to Dallas Woodrow Wilson in its opener and trailing 27-21 with just under two minutes to play against Turner on the road, the Broncos pulled ahead on a 1-yard run by Hudspeth and a successful PAT by Michael Husbands and withstood a last-second rally to pull out their first win of the year.
Two weeks later against Brewer, things got even more daunting. After getting drubbed 37-14 by McKinney North, Denton found itself in the midst of what looked like to be another loss after falling behind 33-14 by the end of the third quarter.
Instead of fading away like expected, however, the Broncos pulled out a shocker -- exploding for 22 points in the fourth quarter to come away with a 36-33 win and its second victory of the season.
"They're a close-knit, special group of kids," Denton head coach Randy Patzkowski said. "I know sometimes that's a trite and overused thing to say, but they really like each other, they work extremely hard and their attitudes have been great. They never think that they're out of the game."
That attitude came through again just a few weeks later when the Broncos earned their first district win since 2007 during a 16-15 upset of Little Elm. Trailing 15-0 with under two minutes left to play, Denton scored back-to-back touchdowns and converted two straight two-point conversions to earn the one-point win and, suddenly, become relevant in the 4-4A playoff picture.
Maybe the most poignant moment about that comeback was Denton's postagame reaction. Sure, the Broncos were happy. They were ecstatic, in fact. Yet, according to Patzkowski, the revelry in the locker room wasn't the kind of out-of-hand celebration generally seen after a huge upset.
Instead, it seemed, well, expected.
"We'd done it before," Hudspeth said. "During that game, it was like, 'Oh, here it goes again.' It's almost like it's become a habit. There wasn't any doubt in our mind. It was just like, 'We can do this.'" It's that swagger that Patzkowski cites as the catalyst spurring the Broncos' success this season. Even after losing by a combined score of 111-9 in back-to-back games against Ryan and Wichita Falls Rider, he said the Broncos still had a bounce in their step leading into last week's showdown with The Colony.
"Honestly, we felt good," Patzkowski said. "We knew what we were facing in Ryan and Rider -- the teams that they're fixing to play in the playoffs are going to find that out, too. Our kids believed we were going to beat The Colony. They got ready, they were loose and they never thought they weren't going to win it."
They won it, indeed, in typical Bronco fashion. With less than two minutes to play, Hudspeth scored on a 5-yard run to give Denton the lead. The defense held on as time expired and, for the first time in eight years, it was time to celebrate.
"We had to really pick it up," defensive back Nick Carrell said. "We wanted to show people that, just because we lost by so much in those two games, that we weren't going to give up. To let them know that we were still going to fight and be gunning for the playoffs. No one gave us the slightest chance of doing well this year, but we stepped up in the end and came together."
They'll get a chance to do that again today when they face off with Hereford in their Class 4A Division II bi-district game at 3 p.m. in Sweetwater. The Whitefaces (7-3) enter the game on a three-game winning streak and managed to grab a share of the District 3-4A title with a season-ending 17-14 win over Canyon Randall.
Still, if there's one thing this season has shown, it would be foolish to count the Broncos out.
"Both teams are coming in with some momentum and a level of confidence," Patzkowski said. "Our kids flat-out believe that they're going to head down to Sweetwater and play hard and get a win."

Some traffic issues today, if you're planning on using the Fremont Bridge:
The Seattle Department of Transportation's Roadway Structures crews will perform maintenance work on several bridges in north Seattle this week. This work is subject to change in the event crews are called to other locations for unplanned emergency work. In addition, there are closures on a WSDOT bridge and a King County bridge adjacent to the Seattle city limits.
For Fremont, that means one curb lane of the Fremont Bridge will be closed at a time for about three hours each to repair the bridge deck. The work is scheduled for today, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Brea, CA, United States, 2015/03/03 - Moxa announce that the EtherNet/IP to Modbus Industrial Ethernet Gateway is the winner of the Control Engineering 2015 Engineers' Choice award, in the Network Integration Network Hardware category - Moxa.com.
Moxa, a leading manufacturer of industrial networking products, is pleased to announce that the EtherNet/IP to Modbus Industrial Ethernet Gateway is the winner of the Control Engineering 2015 Engineers' Choice award, in the Network Integration Network Hardware category.
As described in the February 2015 issue of Control Engineering, the MGates flexible design allows for multiple configurations, and supports scanner and adapter modes for EtherNet/IP, as well as master/slave or client/server for Modbus. When it comes to configuration and setup, all that is needed is a computer with an Ethernet port and web browser. In addition, the gateway features a microSD card slot for configuration backup and recovery. When a microSD card is installed at power-up, the configuration stored on the card is copied to the gateway, after which it is ready for operation.
The MGate 5105-MB-EIP connects EtherNet/IP devices and equipment with Modbus TCP and ASCII/RTU. We spent a lot of time thinking of new ways for an industrial Ethernet gateway to make life easier for users and network operators. We believe that the MGate 5105-MB-EIP is a uniquely convenient, powerful, and dependable Ethernet gateway. Were enormously proud that our hard work in the MGate has been recognized by the industrial experts at Control Engineering, said Sean Chen, Moxa Product Manager

BURNLEY boss Sean Dyche will be encouraging his Clarets to take Kasabian's advice and 'Take Aim' this afternoon.
With lead singer Serge Pizzorno famously a Leicester City, the band members have been invited to Turf Moor as guests of Dyche to watch the top two go head-to-head in the lunchtime televised clash.
The sides have had a 'Running Battle' for the majority of the season at the top end of the Championship.
Leicester claimed top spot from Burnley on Boxing Day and have not moved since.
But with the chance to return to the summit today – should the Clarets win by two goals – Dyche wants his side to be on song, despite being a Kasabian fan.
"I am particularly a fan of theirs, yes. Not of their club of choice," smiled Dyche, who when asked if he had been involved in the arrangement said: "Possibly.
"I'm a fan of their music that's for sure, I've seen them on many occasions."
Although midfielder Scott Arfield was a member of indie band The Begbies, while Michael Duff shares a love of The Smiths with his manager, Dyche admits he hasn't been able to educate the masses in the Clarets' dressing room.
"No. It's like death by dance music, which I used to be into in 1989 when I went to the Hacienda. I'm not so into it now," said the Burnley boss.
"My son likes Kasabian so I get that in the car. Other than that it's One Direction.
"My daughter's a 1D fanatic. I'm not but my daughter plays it incessantly.
"Nothing against 1D, but I'll stick with Kasabian."

Pratt Wins First Tour Title
HYDERABAD, India - At the age of 30, Australian Nicole Pratt (right) has fulfilled every professional tennis player's dream - to win their first title.
Pratt, runner-up to Monica Seles at the Shanghai event in 2001, went one better at the $140,000 ING Vysya Hyderabd Open Saturday, defeating first-time finalist, 17-year-old Russian Maria Kirilenko, 76(3) 61. The win should see Pratt on the verge of a Top 50 ranking once again, while Kirilenko will edge past her previous career-high of No.117 to around No.115.
Fourth-seeded Pratt was pushed to three sets twice during the week - in the first round by Indian wildcard Sania Mirza and in the semifinals by No.2 seed Marion Bartoli. She becomes the first woman in 2004 to win their first WTA Tour singles title.
Kirilenko's previous best result at a WTA Tour event was a quarterfinal finish in Hyderabad 12 months ago. The 2002 US Open junior champion also reached the third round at Flushing Meadows last year in her Grand Slam debut.
For winning the singles title, Pratt wins US$22,000, while runner-up Kirilenko earns $12,000.
History was created in the doubles event, as 17-year-old Mirza became the youngest-ever Indian - male or female - to win a professional Tour event and the first woman from her country to capture a WTA Tour title.
As a wildcard team with experienced South Africa Liezel Huber, Mirza helped defeat Chinese No.3 seeds Li Ting and Sun Tian Tian 76(1) 64 in Saturday's final. It was Huber's 10th WTA Tour doubles title.
This is great news!!!
lets hope there more fortune in the future for u . . . .CONGRATS AGAIN !!!
Fantastic outcome. Nicole has shown what can be done with a bit of perserverance. Her mental attitude is great and there are many other players out there who could learn from her.
well done Nicole :bounce: :worship:
:aparty: Congrats Nicole!!!! :smooch:
Truly deserved, Nicole has put so much work in, that it would've been sad if she hadn't got a title in her career. Intresting to see were this takes her. With the monkey of her back she could win a few more.... or is this the apex??
Great to see that she didn't suffer too much of a letdown to beat Zheng. Next Sugiyama who she has a great record against.
Well sugiyama won . . . . but still won't diminsh the past week nicole has had

'Habitat' Chapter Receives National Honor
SU/ESF group earns honorable mention
SYRACUSE - The Syracuse University/SUNY-ESF chapter of Habitat for Humanity International was recently named one of the organization's top three campus chapters, earning honorable mention for the 2010 Habitat for Humanity International Campus Chapter of the Year.
"Success breeds continued success and improvement," said Douglas Morrison, ESF chapter faculty advisor. "The local chapter moved from the top five in 2007-08 to one of the top three chapters of all US universities."
The SU/ESF chapter was selected for the honor based on its annual house sponsorship, the creation of an affordable housing class through the public affairs program and commitment to Habitat's mission to provide simple, decent and affordable homes for those who lack adequate shelter.
ESF students bring a variety of skill sets to the Habitat builds, said Morrison, a research associate in the Department of Forest and Natural Resources Management. ESF students from all departments volunteer to work on the builds. Also, construction management students conduct safety training on site during the Saturday build days.
"We've been fortunate to have the department provide two student interns to provide the safety instruction," said Morrison.
On a past build in the city of Syracuse, construction management students put a new deck on the house and landscape architecture students gave advice on how to landscape the yard, Morrison said.
""We're always signing up new people," he added. "Every Saturday we work on the house."
Since 1991, the chapter has worked with students and the Syracuse city Habitat affiliate to eliminate the problem of substandard housing in the community. SU/ESF chapter members have also traveled across the country to contribute to building sites in states such as Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana.
During the 2009-10 school year, the SU/ESF chapter constructed a house on Elliot Street in the city's Near Westside neighborhood with the help of the Syracuse city Habitat affiliate. The students raised $60,000 and dedicated time each weekend between September and May to construction.
The chapter broke ground this fall on a home build on Gifford Street, also located in the city's Near Westside neighborhood. This will be the fourth home completely constructed by the campus chapter. The chapter also plans to send 150 students and faculty this year to locations in Louisiana, Alabama, Florida and West Virginia as part of the chapter's annual alternative winter and spring break trips tradition.
The chapter will be honored at the 2010 Youth Leadership Conference, which will be held Oct. 22-24 in Columbus, Ohio, where it will receive the award. In addition, State Farm will present a $1,000 grant the chapter may use to participate in Collegiate Challenge, Habitat's alternative break program.

I'm planning a trip to Panama City and wondering what's new in the food scene there. I've found a few articles from pre-2007, describing some great places--several of which are still around and thriving. But I'm wondering what has opened more recently, in the last two years or so.
Anyone know what's new and interesting in Panama City's restaurant scene?

Saudi Aramco's Haradh gas plant named 'Project of the Year'
Saudi Aramco's Haradh Gas Plant was honored as "Project of the Year" during a recent oil industry award ceremony in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Assistant Undersecretary of Administration and Foreign Affairs, UAE Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, Saeed Ismail Al-Khoory, presided over the 2003 Excellence In Energy Awards, held as part of the Oil Baron's Ball event at the Hotel Intercontinental. Saudi Aramco's award was accepted by the manager of the pipelines projects department, Salman A. Al-Jar.
The $1.3 billion Haradh Gas Plant project is designed to treat 1.6 billion standard cubic feet of gas per day to meet growing domestic needs in the Kingdom. The awards, described as the Oscars of the energy industry, are given to organizations chosen by a vote of the readers of Pipeline Magazine – a regional monthly energy publication.
The Oil Baron's Ball was sponsored by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and its group of companies, with a percentage of the proceeds going to the UAE Red Crescent Society. — (menareport.com)

Carpinteria voters will decide in June whether to approve a slant-drilling operation accessing oil deposits off the seaside city's coast, and although that election is three months away, debate surrounding the issue is already red hot.
The majority of Carpinteria council members have been outspoken about their distaste for the project proposed by Venoco Inc. and placed on the ballot through a citizens' initiative, saying it circumvents the environmental process.
Because ballot initiatives like the Paredon Oil and Gas Development Initiative aren't subject to the California Environmental Quality Act before they are passed, Venoco's approach to get its project directly before voters has raised some eyebrows.
Noozhawk sat down with Venoco community relations manager Lisa Rivas on Friday to hear the company's perspective on the issue.
Rivas said getting the ballot measure approved is only the first step because the Carpinteria General Plan doesn't have provisions for slant drilling at an onshore location. If the ballot measure passes, the General Plan would be changed to allow for that type of drilling.
Venoco has been planning its slant-drilling project for more than a decade, and would like to see a 140-foot drilling rig installed at its Dump Road processing facility. Chevron owned the facility in the 1950s and sold it to Venoco in 1999, and "it's been there as long as some of these residents and even before," Rivas said.
Extended-reach, or slant, drilling, would allow access to oil and natural gas in the Santa Barbara Channel without using an offshore platform, and could reach up to 11,000 barrels of oil a day.
More than 1,000 signatures were gathered last year to put the Paredon project, now Measure J, on the June 8 ballot as a citizens' initiative.
On environmental review, Rivas contends the project will face rigorous oversight on the other side of the ballot box.
A slew of oversight organizations — the state Coastal Commission, State Lands Commission and the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District, among others — would still have to review the project after voter approval "to make sure it's the safest it can be," Rivas said.
"These are not new regulators to us," she said. "They do that now with our operations — new and existing. They will have the same oversight in the future of our operations."
If voters do sign off on Venoco's proposal, company representatives say Carpinteria and the county would be entitled to royalties and revenue of as much as $200 million. Venoco has also said 20 acres of coastal land would be donated to the city as open space, and $5 million will be donated to the Carpinteria Education Foundation.
The reservoir would also have property taxes, to the tune of $250,000, associated with it that Rivas said would return to city coffers.
Some residents have raised concerns about making sure the money makes its way back into the community.
Rivas said the only way the money wouldn't end up back in Carpinteria is if the initiative doesn't pass.
As tempting as the offer could be for anemic city finances, Measure J has received a largely prickly reception from Carpinteria decision makers.
The council voted unanimously to put the measure on the ballot, but the only other option the city had was to approve the project outright. The city has spent almost $300,000 appealing a Superior Court ruling to put the item on the ballot in the first place, which is still mired in the appellate process.
City staff plan to hold informational meetings on the measure, but "there is no objectivity coming anywhere from the council chambers," according to Rivas, with the council taking an official stance against the project last month. Rivas encouraged the public to read the initiative, which can be viewed by clicking here.
If the ballot measure fails, Rivas says Venoco still has the obligation to develop that oil field, and will go offshore if it must.
However, "if it goes offshore, they don't have a say," Rivas said of Carpinteria, adding that that's why the company wants residents to have a chance to vote on the matter.
What could be extracted from the field, somewhere around 11,000 barrels a day, isn't significant when compared to larger sources like Saudi Arabia, Rivas said. But she said that all of the leases off the California coast, including Venoco's, add up to a significant dent in the demand for domestic oil.
"We see a great benefit from an oil project perspective as well as from a community perspective," she said.

Nike Skateboarding hops on the #VoltLife movement as the tonal-Volt colorway of the Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski is headed for an April release. However, these spicy Janoskis are indeed a collaborative project with Three Squares Studio in New York City (where Janoski is a client), as seen by the special insole graphic. Jordan Blackmore of Three Squares Studio calles these the "Lemon Twist", although sneakerheads will probably be comfortable with the "Volt" moniker for simplicity. There's no doubt that these Janoskis will be a must-have for SB fans, and with a reported release date of April 14th, be sure to keep an eye out for these (not that they'll be hard to spot on a store shelf). We'll update you on availability when it comes available at wider spots so take a look below for another look.

To me, my grandfather was larger than life. He had been the sheriff of a small town in the Adirondacks and personified elegance, authority and grace -- he rode a chestnut-colored horse and wore a shiny, star-shaped badge. He was always impeccably dressed and adhered closely to a "don't buy a lot, but buy well" philosophy. I remember his uniforms and suits and how all of the things that hung in his closet were tailored and pressed.
One of the items my twin sister and I inherited from him was a beautiful, handmade extra-large gray wool cable knit sweater that he had gotten in Ireland. Every winter we would switch off and either she would wear it or I would. It got to the point where I would jokingly not want to give it back to her at the end of the season and I began to think to myself, what I need to do is make one of these and our problem would be solved. The idea was fun but seemed impossible -- the only thing that I had ever knit was a few basic sweaters and blankets and I had no idea how to cable.
I went to my local yarn store and had the great fortune of meeting a wonderful teacher named Beth. During one of her classes, I shared my cable sweater dilemma with her and told her with a smile that I planned to make an exact copy of it. With a large smile back she said, "Well, then let's do it!" For several weeks, we mined stitch pattern books to try and find the series of cables we needed. Many of the diagonals were too short or too tall and there was an endless back and forth. Then the long hours of learning the twist stitches and different sequences came. We fiddled and charted and tested and finally came up with the pattern. I searched high and low for wool that was just the right color gray (which took a few weeks -- had to be 100% wool in just the right shade) and finally set out to make the sweater.
The biggest challenge along the way was the saddle shoulder. I remember Beth said, "Well, we'll just do a regular shoulder and won't get involved with that mess!" And I remember pleading with her to help me figure out the saddle shoulder. "It has to be exactly the same!" I told her - big, huge pain in the neck that I was. I even insisted that we recreate two mistakes that I found along the way and ended up stretching out the neck a bit when I was done (Grandpa had a big neck). In the end, it was as close a replica as I could manage and took just under two years to complete.
Since then, I've used small sections of the pattern many times for smaller projects - once for a baby vest and another time for a scarf. I laminated the original graph and love having it in my larder to use for future designs. In many ways, I feel that when I use the pattern, I'm giving my friends a piece of my history and love for my grandfather.

Pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca told an FDA committee this week that the failure of its last-chance cancer drug, Iressa, to significantly improve survival rates in a clinical trial was a surprise and that a review was underway to determine why the product didn't do better.
Iressa won Food and Drug Administration approval in 2003 for advanced lung cancer patients who had exhausted standard therapy after studies showed that it shrank tumors in some terminally ill patients. But approval, based on preliminary studies, came with a requirement that the drug be further tested.
In a follow-up trial, Iressa failed to produce an improvement that was statistically significant, prompting AstraZeneca to stop promoting the drug and to advise doctors that it had failed to live up to expectations for unknown reasons.
AstraZeneca told an FDA advisory committee, meeting this week to review several cancer drugs, that it was conducting a detailed analysis of the trial.

Halifax needed a new look. The logo created when the city was amalgamated in 1996 was "developed with a local artist," said Bruce DeBaie, managing director of corporate communications for Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM). "It was never created on a true brand platform."
With no brand management framework, "the logo didn't extend into other government activities," said DeBaie. "We had departments making their own logos for themselves." And while the old logo featured a stylized lighthouse, it was not exactly a beacon to attract business and tourism from outside the city. "There was no meaning behind it. We had a fragmented municipal identity," said DeBaie. "There was no master brand platform externally. Nothing strong enough for agency partners to adapt."
An April 2013 presentation to the city's executive committee summed it up: "We need a powerful brand to compete successfully with other cities." The city wanted to attract investment and spur growth, attract and retain top talent and attract more visitors.
A New Look
After an RFP whittled a list of interested agencies down to four contenders, the city chose local agency Revolve to manage the $300,000 campaign.
"They articulated an understanding that the brand already existed in the community," said DeBaie. "It was their approach to discover what that was."
But Revolve wanted to avoid what it concerned a tired approach – the "Town Hall meeting" – said Mike Bardsley, brand strategist for Revolve. "We went to skating ovals, farmer's markets. We went to where people were already" to plumb public sentiment.
The agency created a website, HalifaxDefined.ca, where people shared thoughts about what makes the region unique (the site now serves as a case study on the new branding). It poured over comments from the HRM's social media accounts. It held focus groups and one-on-one meetings with leaders in the arts, business and military communities, to name a few. "It was a wide net of key stakeholders," said Bardsley. "And we hit all age groups."
A common theme began to emerge: while people from Halifax are proud of their city, "we don't like to talk about it," said DeBaie.
That overall insight led to the city's new brand promise "Be bold," though the agency points out this is not a tagline for HRM. "It's a rallying cry that will guide and inform," Revolve said on its website. "It gives everyone – councilors, city staff, businesses, community leaders and residents permission to think and act boldly to make Halifax the best it can be,"
The campaign took four months and cost $300,000. With engagement from 20,000 people it was, said Bardsley and DeBaie, the broadest and most comprehensive engagement program in the city's history.

Natural connections: Woolly weather
A blustery fall wind swept away any warmth from the pale sun. Brown and yellow leaves skittered across the pavement. As I bent down to dip my hands in the lake, my arm (wrapped in fuzzy fleece) brushed the seed head of a burr marigold--so named because the cheery yellow flower matures into a cluster of pokey stick-tight seeds. Yet another sign of the season...
Distracted, I meandered back toward the car, picking little two-pronged seeds out of my armpit as I went. Then ... whoa! Something caught the corner of my eye, and I pulled my foot back from its next step. There, in the middle of the parking lot, was a woolly bear caterpillar. Not the most exciting find, but it would have been unpleasant for both of us if my shoe had continued on its original path.
I've always enjoyed seeing these fuzzy, black and brown-striped critters. As a kid I tortured them--poking one to watch it curl into a ball ... patiently waiting until it uncurled ... and the poking it again. You've probably had your own encounters with these cute little critters, no matter what age you happened to be. A few years ago, while I was teaching in Maine, my class found a woolly bear's hairy cocoon in the woods. The students just shook their head at my enthusiasm for the discovery.
Seeing this woolly bear didn't strike me as anything spectacular, but I took some photos anyway, because a friend had asked me about the caterpillar's famed weather predicting skills. My research turned up a great story about that, and so much more.
Back in 1948, Dr. C. H. Curran, curator of insects at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, wanted an excuse to get out of the city and enjoy the fall colors. He decided that the question of wooly bears' weather prediction skills needed some field research (sounds like a great excuse to play hooky from work to me!), and took his wife a nearby state park. They gathered as many woolly bears as they could find, and measured the sizes of the black and brown stripes. This was so fun that they invited friends the next year, and began calling themselves The Original Society of the Friends of the Woolly Bear.
For eight years they "gathered data" in the beautiful fall woods. At first, it seemed like they were on to something. Several years in a row, the brown stripes took up more than a third of the caterpillar's 13 body segments, on average. Folklore says that wider brown stripes forecast milder winters, and that did indeed play out for Curran. Then came the year that two groups of caterpillars in neighboring habitats gave opposing forecasts. That year, Curran gave up.
As it turns out, some scientists now think that the width of the brown band IS related to the weather -- of the previous spring. Each time the caterpillar gets too big for its skin and molts, one black segment changes to a brown segment. So, a w-bear who starts eating early (they are generalist feeders who eat a variety of plants), during a mild spring, will have a wider brown stripe by the following fall. A caterpillar who gets a late start, perhaps due to snow in April (not that we know anything about that!), will likely have fewer brown segments before the growing season ends again.
So, with one riddle solved, we're ready for another one. Why do you see so many woolly bears crossing the road this time of year? To get to an overwintering site, of course! Like many northern critters (bears, for example), woolly bears are short-distance migrants who need to travel a little ways to find a nice place to spend the winter. And they can get there fast (for a caterpillar) traveling at 0.05 miles an hour, or about a mile a day.
Beneath a rock, under a log, in a bark crevice--almost any protected place will do for an overwintering woolly bear. Warmth is not a major factor, since these little guys will freeze solid, and thaw, and freeze again, many times throughout the winter. On a warm day, they may even get out and crawl around.
If a tomato spent the winter like a woolly bear, it would soon be mush. But woolly bears use chemicals known as cryoprotectants to safeguard living tissue against damage from freezing and thawing. Woolly bears who live in the arctic (the species we know as well as some relatives) may take 14 years to complete their life cycles. They freeze solid every winter, and grow just a little bit during each brief summer.
Our Wisconsin (or Minnesota) woolly bear only needs two years to complete its life. In spring, it will thaw and resume eating. Once large enough, the caterpillar spins itself a cocoon using silk and its own hairs. In two weeks, it metamorphoses into a pale yellow Isabella tiger moth. In another two weeks, the moth will mate, lay eggs, and die.
Tiger moths, in the family Arctiidae, are amazing, colorful creatures in their own right. Some tiger moth caterpillars eat toxic plants, just like monarch caterpillars, in order to protect themselves against predators. The toxin persists in the adult moths, who use bright warning coloration to tell potential predators that they taste bad. Since one of their main predators--bats--can't see colors in the dark, the moths emit ultrasonic sounds to warn bats of their unpalatability.
All the moths are surely dead by now, and their offspring, the caterpillars, are racing toward their overwintering rocks. I hope the one I almost stepped on found a cozy place in the leaf litter. With snow in the forecast, I'm glad I overwinter in a house. I wonder how mild or harsh this winter will be? I wish a woolly bear could tell me!

(UPDATED COVERAGE, 4:45 p.m.) A bankruptcy judge has approved the sale of EuroFresh Farms — including 318 acres of greenhouses and all real and intellectual propery — to NatureSweet Ltd. for more than $51 million.
EuroFresh, Wilcox, Ariz., filed for bankruptcy Jan. 27. A day later San Antonio-based NatureSweet's chief executive officer Bryant Ambelang announced plans to buy EuroFresh. The sale includes Eurofresh brands, website and packaging.
Judge Eileen Hollowell approved the sale March 27. Court documents show that NatureSweet officials want to close the sale by April 8.
"Until the sale closes we won't be able to provide many specific comments," said Michael Joergensen, marketing director for NatureSweet.
A prepared statement released March 28 by Ambelang said NatureSweet will take "a balanced approach to bringing EuroFresh Farms products and customers into the NatureSweet family."
In a declaration filed with the bankruptcy court, Ambelang explained the corporate structure behind NatureSweet's acquisition of EuroFresh. He said the majority owner of NatureSweet, Silver Brands Partners LP, which has had a controlling interest in the San Antonio company since 1997, formed an entity called Zona Acquisition Co. to facilitate the sale.
Zona was the only qualified bidder who expressed interest in buying EuroFresh, court documents stated. Judge Hollowell called for additional bidders during a hearing March 27, but no one responded.
At closing, Silver Brands will transfer the equity interests in Zona to NatureSweet, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary of NatureSweet.
Total claims against EuroFresh, according to bankruptcy documents, were $69.5 million. Unsecured, non-priority claims totaled $10.7 million. Secured claims totaled $58.3 million.
Fred Petersen, an attorney representing EuroFresh, said there were less than 10 creditors with a total of about $600,000 in claims under the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act.

Spike in ATV fatalities in Saskatchewan sparks concern
REGINA – ATV safety is being highlighted after two people in Saskatchewan died while riding this month.
"It's the difference between a nice ride in the afternoon with your family, your friends, and spending time in the hospital and/or being the center point of a funeral," said John Meed, general manager of the Saskatchewan All Terrain Vehicle Association (SATVA).
In the past month, two people have died in ATV crashes. It's believed alcohol was a contributing factor in both.
According the SATVA, the number of people injured in ATV accidents in Saskatchewan has nearly doubled since 2011: from 25 to 47, last year. In that same time frame, the amount of causalities has jumped from three to eight, respectively.
"Of those eight fatalities, five weren't wearing a helmet. So what we'd like to do is remind ATV riders that it's important to wear your helmet," said Meed.
It may seem like an obvious tip, but helmets can be lifesaving. Helmets also filter out ambient noise, helping isolate sounds that matter.
Meed said that part of the greater problem with safety is that southern Saskatchewan doesn't have an elaborate trail system.
"So, people will tend to want to go places they shouldn't be going and, especially, unfamiliar terrain," he said.
Darcy Shaw, owner of Alsports Sales, has sold ATVs for 25 five years. More people are buying quads, but he said fewer are considering the dangers involved.
"For the most part, safety doesn't really come up in their buying decisions, no. It's more: how fast will it go, how much water will it go through? That type of thing," said Shaw.

In the least surprising news of the day, Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli announced prior to Boston's matchup with Carolina that rookie sensation Dougie Hamilton will be staying with the big club and will not return to juniors.
The 19-year-old defenseman impressed with three assists over his first four NHL games, and added a fourth helper Monday night as the B's defeated the Hurricanes 5-3 in Raleigh.
"[It felt] awesome," Hamilton told NESN's Naoko Funayama during Ace Ticket Bruins Overtime LIVE. "It's been my dream to play in the NHL, and I'm just really excited that I made it.
"[It's been] a lot of fun. I'm just trying to get better every day and enjoy myself. And with this group of guys, it's pretty easy to do that, so I'm just trying to have fun."

WARSAW (Jun. 6)
All towns in the province of Kielce, whose streets have been littered with uprooted tombstones from Jewish cemeteries since the Nazi occupation, were ordered today to arrange for the immediate return of the tombstones to the proper burial places.
The order was issued by Minister for Administrative Affairs Obsubka-Morawski, at the behest of the Central Jewish Committee. In some towns, including Radom, the task of returning the tombstones to their proper resting places has already begun.

Avast report finds naked photos, search histories and even a loan application.
Those who sell their mobiles online may be putting their most intimate photos, search histories and even identities at risk by failing to permanently delete their data, security firm Avast has revealed.
Data recovery software the company ran on 20 phones bought from eBay was said to yield more than 40,000 photos, including 1,500 of children, 750 of partially naked women, and 250 of naked men.
Jude McColgan, president of mobile at Avast, said: "Deleting files from your Android phone before selling it or giving it away is not enough.
"You need to overwrite your files, making them irretrievable."
The investigation also unearthed 1,000 Google searches, 750 emails and texts, 250 contacts, four identities, and even one completed loan application.
"Stalkers, enemies, and thieves can abuse personal data to stalk, blackmail and steal people's identities," McColgan added.
"They can use this information to watch people's every move, exploit their strange fetishes, open credit cards in their name, or even continue what they started by further selling their personal information online."

Eleaf iStick 50 Watt Box Mod Review
The original iStick 20w from Eleaf got its rightfully warm welcome to the marketplace just a few months ago, including here at BC where we took an in-depth look at the mini machine.
That means the next generation of the iStick line has pretty big little shoes to fill, and iSmoka has accepted the challenge with the iStick 50 Watt mod.
This bigger and badded form factor comes with a sleek, redesigned body, an upgraded 4400mAh battery and a host of other improvements.
We hope it's a stellar sequel to one of our favorite mini vapes, but of course, the only way to find out is with a good old fashioned iStick 50 watt mod review.

- Dimensions: 83mm (H) x 45mm (W) x 23mm (D)

- Variable Wattage: (5 – 50W)
- Variable Voltage (2 to 10V)

- Stainless Steel Spring-Loaded 510 connection
- Temperature Cutoff function
- Micro USB charging port
What's New? Eleaf Istick 50W
The Eleaf iStick 50 Watt is a reimagining of the popular 20 watt model.
Moving the buttons and screen of the unit to its face from the old position at the side of the unit.
It also includes an adjustable stainless steel connection point.
A huge battery capacity and a dedicated locking feature to conserve the wealth of battery power when the iStick is not in use.Best Deal on the Eleaf iStick 50w at VistaVapors.com Only $49.99!
Churning out up to 50 watts of juice sizzling power takes a serious battery, so the folks at iSmoka just cut out the middleman and soldered one in there.
The iStick 50 Watt's massive 4400mah battery is non-removable, but should provide more than enough portable electricity for a full day's charge even with the heaviest vapers.
The internal battery of the iStick 50w can only be charged via the USB port at the side of the unit.
The USB cord is not included with the base unit, but there's at least one under your couch and the iStick goes from a drained battery to a full charge in under 5 hours.
The iStick 50 Watt also supports passthrough functionality, allowing you to use your device while charging and make those 5 hours much shorter.
The iStick 50w box mod has variable voltage adjustable from 2 to 10 volts as well as wattage that can be adjusted from 5w to full power.
For new vapers, we recommend starting out with some of the lowest voltage levels and working your way up to unlock the perfect combination of flavor, vapor temperature and throat hit.
The 510 threading from the 20w model returns for the iStick 50 Watt Mod, but has been upgraded to a stainless steel spring-loaded connection for wider compatibility.
The iStick 50w also comes with a 510-to-eGo adapter, so if you're short on cash and need a replacement tank from the drugstore, you can surely use it here.
The 510-to-eGo adapter allows you to use skirted (or eGo threaded) tanks instead of 510 tanks/RBAs.
Best Clearomizer
We feel good about recommending to you fine folks, we find ourselves suggesting the Kanger Subtank Mini pretty regularly.
This slimmed down version of the Kanger Subtank looks great with the slick exterior of the iStick 50w.
It also has the ability to switch into RBA mode for the experienced enthusiasts who get the most out of their vape by building their own coils.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with keeping it simple, and so we also think the Aspire Nautilus Mini works just great with the iStick 50w.
No, it doesn't transform into anything else, but it does have a 2mL capacity.
Red Alert
The iStick 50 Watt Mod also stands out for its advanced temperature monitoring feature.
This automatically shuts off the output when the internal temperature of the device reaches 70 degrees Celsius.
Don't be too alarmed when this happens, after the "Temp Protection" warning disappears from the screen 5 seconds later, you'll be good to go.
More on the Eleaf iStick 50w
The 4400mAh battery comes as advertised and beyond, giving out a day's power with ease and two day's juice with any sort of moderation.
In fact, legend tells of an iStick 50w battery lasting for nearly a full work week, but your mileage may vary so let's not get into anecdotes as fact so much.
Performance on the iStick 50w is impressive, with great vapor quality and density even at relatively low power levels.
The size of the iStick 50w belies its power, and it's great to have such a capable mod not demand much space in your pocket at all.
The brushed aluminum finish is a popular choice for these units, but it certainly works here, and the device is available in one of 4 colors to contrast with its polished chrome accents.
The iStick 50 Watt Mod has decent build quality, with a solid and comfortable feel in the hand thanks to its balanced weight and rounded edges.
However, the buttons are slightly prone to rattling, and although this may not bother many users, others may hear the sound of a beating heart under the floorboards and subsequently driven mad.
Not a huge deal for us though. Another upgrade we love is to the iStick's 510 connection.
It did fit the vast majority of atomizers even before the addition of the spring-loaded pin in the new model, but it's hard not to get used to the clean, flush look that an adjustable pin can offer.
The relocation of the USB charging port is a bonus, allowing the unit to stand on end and look pretty while charging.
Speaking of charging, you probably won't be doing it as often as you're used to with the iStick 50w.

We already loved the iStick line starting with the original 20w, so it didn't take much for the 50w model to win us over.
That's why we were even more surprised at how much thought iSmoka put into this seemingly minor upgrade.
Where some other manufacturers would have pumped up the horsepower and called it a day, the iStick 50w appears to have been tweaked at every turn.
Overall, the iStick 50 Watt is more than the next in the line, it just may be the best.
It brings back everything people loved about the 20 watt model: small size, reliable performance, simple operation, and great battery life.
All this plus adding a number of upgrades that make this so-called mini mod one of the best pieces of equipment on the market at any size.
Whether you're new and looking for the next step up from your eGo or a veteran vaper looking for the next addition to your collection, we can offer the same advice: go for the Eleaf iStick 50 Watt Mod.Eleaf iStick 50w | VistaVapors.com | $49.99!
4 Responses to Eleaf iStick 50 Watt Box Mod Review
my husband bought me an Eleaf Istick 50W box mod & I absolutely loved it AT FIRST. However, on day 4 my husband & I were sitting at our dinner table when my dark horse (the RDA I had used the whole time/running .25 ohm coils) suddenly started firing on it's own. I just thank God we weren't sleeping & my husband was able to grab it & unscrew it quickly…as I was freaking out!!!
Mine broke after two days of use, shows to charge but will not activate as the lcd screen is stuck on the charge image flashing the last bar of the battery. totally dissapointed and bought a 2015 Kbox mini as I work out the issues with the manufacturer about the warranty period
My Eleaf 50w is topped with the Aspire Atlantis II tank. With the 0.5 ohm it roasts to perfection. Not to mention charges from death in an hour flat, even with a foreign phone charger and usb port!

The American Bankers Association through its chairman-elect testified this week before the Subcommittee on Department Operations, Oversight, and Credit of the House Committee on Agriculture. He offered recommendations to preserve and improve access to agriculture credit in the upcoming farm bill.
ABA Chairman-Elect Matthew Williams recommended that term limits on loans guaranteed by the USDA's Farm Service Agency be repealed to expand access to credit for small and beginning farmers. Williams also said Federal Crop Insurance should be preserved as it is a broadly used tool that allows farmers and bankers to manage the risk presented by weather and volatile agriculture conditions.
Williams is the chairman and president of Gothenburg State Bank, which has its headquarters in Gothenburg, Neb. The bank was founded by Williams' grandfather in 1902 and has since been family-operated with a focus on agriculture lending.
"As a result of term limits on loans guaranteed by the USDA Farm Service Agency, an increasing number of farmers and ranchers are no longer eligible for additional credit under the program, which could make access to credit in the future very difficult, if not impossible, for these producers," Williams said. "For this reason, the American Bankers Association and many other lender and farm organizations recommend the repeal of term limits on the USDA Farm Service Agency Guaranteed Loan Program."
Williams noted that over 35,000 agriculture producers use the guaranteed loan program for credit, yet the practical application of term limits has caused hardships for producers that can least weather a financial setback.
Williams testified that given the volatile nature of the agricultural economy, Federal Crop Insurance is a key risk management tool used to protect against unpredictable weather and potential catastrophic losses.
"Federal Crop Insurance provides my customers with the certainty they need to make responsible planting decisions and provides my bank with the confidence we need to extend credit to our customers," Williams said. "The program is widely accepted by farmers as a key element of a solid risk management plan that they can take to the bank."

What do people think the best colour is for a s3 8l??
Opinions please guys
For me it's got to be red or black
Merlin Purple
Noggy, Misano Red, and Imola Yellow. Oh, and Papaya Orange.....ah what the heck they're all nice. Avus silver and Dolphin grey also. Yeah, don't forget Merlin purple too.
Sorry for an unhelpful post...
Its all down to personal preference, Personally I really like Misano Red and Dolphin Grey, But I am quite fond of my silver S3 too..
Is there a reason why you are asking the question?
Looking for a new car or respray?
There is no BEST colour as such, it depends on the person. But if I was to order a new build today, I'd go with Merlin Purple and Silver/beige leather.
I'd love a White one!
Merlin purple! Although before I bought this one, I nearly bought a noggy one! Don't tell jojo
Separate names with a comma.

After a 12-year absence, Braid returns with a brief new EP, Closer to Closed, and it certainly shows the changes time brings. This is a much more tuneful sound from the band—miles away from the ragged The Age of Octeen or even their more melodic last record, Frame and Canvas—that puts them somewhere between their tangled post-hardcore roots and Death Cab-esque power-pop. The run of minor-chord riffs in the verse of "The Right Time" straightens out into a bracing chorus, and "You are the Reason" could be a mid-tempo slog, but its buoyed nicely by warm pianos. Closer "Universe or Worse" is the biggest stretch here for the band, spanning six minutes and dealing in subtler textures. Rather than fill up space, the guitars make room here for the rhythm section to drive the song effectively. It's an important moment because it invites possibility. Too many of these songs deal in a certainty of the darker side, and the emotions don't resonate as a result. When "Do Over" wraps on the line "now is the part where I break your heart" it rings as both false and a bit self-possessed. "Universe of Worse" on the other hand, complicates the band's sonics and that certainty, ending with the contradictory "I don't know, I never will know". That less ham-handed notion shows the right ways in which the band has grown. Closer to Closed is a curiously short return, and there's no plans for a full-length to follow, but at least the band pushes itself in these 16 minutes, rather than retreading the high-water mark they left on.
