Ok, I have posted this recipe before a long time ago (when we first started Sisters' Cafe) but I was worried that most of you had never seen it. And that just cannot be… it is way too good to be forgotten at the bottom of the pile! This is actually in my top 5 favorite dinners. I usually make 2 pans and freeze one for later. (It freezes great) These enchiladas redefine the concept of enchiladas. They are SO good! I have perfected the recipe to exactly the way I love it. Originally it was made with shredded chicken but one day I had left over pork roast so I shredded that and came up with an even better enchilada!! So you have two delicious options. There is just no description that does these babies justice sooooo here is the recipe…you are going to love it! (If you want to see more pics, check the link above) Honey Lime Enchiladas

I can't wait to try these! What brand of enchilada sauce do you use? Is it a mild or medium sauce?
- 2 August 22, 2009 at 1:48 pm
Yum! Totally making these this week!
- 3 August 22, 2009 at 5:38 pm
This has always been one of my favorite recipes on the site. I've made it many times and my whole family loves it (which is a rarity). Everyone try it!
- 4 August 22, 2009 at 7:56 pm
Thanks for re-posting it. I don't remember if I've seen it before or not, but now I'm paying attention. :) It looks so good.
- 5 August 22, 2009 at 8:19 pm
I made these week before last, and my husband and I LOVED them! Thanks for a great recipe!
- 6 August 23, 2009 at 3:32 pm
I found this recipe here almost a year ago and it's one of my favorites–I'm glad you posted it again! It's so easy and yummy!
- 7 August 23, 2009 at 4:27 pm
I make these ALL the time. They are my favorite. I like to take these to neighbors and they always rave about how good they are! Delicious!
- 8 August 23, 2009 at 5:40 pm
Made this today and everyone loved it including me. Thanks for a keeper!!! Love it!

So does the green enchilada sauce only go outside the tortillas?
I was confused if it got combined with the honey, lime juice and spices.
- 10 August 23, 2009 at 8:44 pm
Love this recipe! I use it a lot when I am bring people dinner, too. Super easy and everyone loves it. Oh, and I have limited space in my freezer, so I just freeze the marinated meat to use later when I double my batch. PS One of my friends made it with shredded beef and said they were awesome… haven't tried it yet myself, but I am going to.
- 11 August 24, 2009 at 12:06 pm
I made these once but my family thought they were too sweet. I am a little nervous to try them again. I used a whipped honey, so I don't know if that is sweeter than the store stuff – any insight would be appreciated.
- 12 August 24, 2009 at 12:57 pm
We love Mexican nights at our house!
- 13 August 24, 2009 at 2:53 pm
Ok everyone, I have not been online for a few days…so sorry I haven't responded sooner to your questions!
Mary Jane: I have used lots of different brands of green enchilada sauce (all mild I think) and I like all except Western Family (which is still ok just not as good as others).
anonymous: you don't include the green enchilada sauce with the marinade/sauce ingredients! There was supposed to be a space there – sorry for the confusion! The ench sauce is only on the outside of the enchiladas.
Bridget: you can definitely make them less sweet. Use more lime juice and less honey. Often I just eyeball things anyway and so it will turn out more sweet or limey depending!
Hope that helps everyone! I'm so happy that this is a favorite recipe for so many now!!
- 14 August 25, 2009 at 7:41 am
i'll tell ya, i've eaten a lot of enchiladas in my day, but i don't believe honey has ever been a component. i (and my sweet tooth) like the idea of it–great sauce!
- 15 August 25, 2009 at 5:25 pm
I made these last Thursday for the first time–made a pan for us and a pan for a neighbor who just had a baby. They were a big hit both places. Thank you for the recipe!
- 16 August 25, 2009 at 9:11 pm
Thanks for reposting this recipe! I even burnt them when I turned on the broiler and walked away and they were still a hit.

- 20 August 26, 2009 at 8:23 pm
Thanks for sharing this recipe! I'll never make my usual chicken and cream cheese enchiladas again. Even my chicken-hating 5 year old gobbled them up.
- 21 August 28, 2009 at 9:56 am
I love the idea of your "Top 5" favorite recipes. Can each of you post your top 5 family favorites?

These are seriously amazing. My cousin had these on her weekly menu with a link to the recipe here and I tried them. They were an immediate family favorite. I try to make them for everyone I know at least once. Mmm. Great recipe! Good to know they freeze well. I don't usually have any leftover to freeze.
- 26 September 6, 2009 at 9:09 pm
We tried this recipe after its first post, and we have loved it ever since. It is SO good.
If you like a little more "kick", try pepper jack cheese in place of the cheddar/mozarella.
- 27 September 9, 2009 at 9:32 am
I LOVE this recipe and have made it several times. DELISH!
- 28 September 14, 2009 at 10:03 pm

- 49 May 24, 2011 at 9:28 am
so sooo soooooo crazy good!!!!! we were going out for the day, so I stuck some split chicken breasts with just a tad of the seasonings from the honey lime sauce in the crock pot on low all day, then when we got home, hubby deboned/shredded/marinated the meat, while I made a homemade green chili enchilada sauce ( http://www.food.com/recipe/el-charro-cafe-green-enchilada-sauce-55478 )- really really good for other uses too, and I even had some "real" chicken stock to add to the enchilada sauce from the crock pot juices. We eat pretty darn good in this house, and this had to rank in our top 10. Thank you sisters!!!!
- 50 June 27, 2011 at 1:38 pm
I tried these and they are fabulous!!!! Thank you so much for all the incredible recipes!!! My son is 17, and is in the Culinary Academy @ his High School. We love trying all your recipes together!!

- 52 September 16, 2011 at 5:12 am
Hi! I have made these a couple times now and they are delicious. I printed the recipe a while ago and have been using that copy when I made them. I came to reprint it today, but noticed that the copy I printed a while back has cream in it…did you change the recipe, or is there a different Honey Lime recipe posted? Thanks!
- 53 January 3, 2012 at 6:12 am
I've had this recipe saved in my favorites for over a year, finally made them last night. I am kicking myself for putting this recipe off for so long! SO DELICIOUS! The whole family loved it, including the two dogs I added a bit of diced red onion and chopped cilantro to the filling. Making again next week.
- 54 January 19, 2012 at 5:44 pm
Love this recipe! I'm making them ahead of time for a party and will be freezing them. What do you suggest for a cooking time/temp? Should I thaw them first? Thanks :)
- 55 December 2, 2012 at 9:35 am
These were FANTASTIC!! I made for my hubby and 5 kiddos and everyone loved them. I had a difficult time not eating the chicken as it was marinating. :) This one is going in my permanent file for sure. We are a military family and are heading home to visit our families after Christmas and I will definitely be making this for everyone. Thanks for posting such a delicious recipe!!
- 56 January 28, 2013 at 9:45 pm
I have a freezer question. When you freeze it, do freeze it before or after you bake it? Also, do you freeze it with the sauce on it, or do you put the sauce on it after you take it out of the freezer. Thanks! I love your site!

The Commerce Journal
The win-loss column does not reflect the hard work the Texas A&M University-Commerce Lion women's basketball team has put in, according to head coach Nicole Anderson.
Anderson said she deliberately scheduled the team, currently 2-11 overall and 1-3 in conference play, against tough non-conference opponents to prepare them for the difficulties they will face in the Lone Star Conference.
"We made the choice to schedule very, very hard teams," she said. "We played a lot of (NCAA) D1 schools. It was very challenging but we got a lot out of it."
The Lions have been playing injured. Junior foward La'Tisha Hearne broke her foot early in the season but not want that injury to end her season, according to Anderson. After a check-up with the doctor, Hearne has been playing with the broken foot and is still averaging 6.3 points per game and 5.7 rebounds per game.
Anderson said although the tough schedule has caused her team to take a hit in its record, the team is now prepared to contend with the top of the LSC.
"In order to perform at a national level, you have to play the best," she said. "We've got it in us and I'll keep pulling it out."
A weak point Anderson said needs to be fixed soon though is the ability to be consistent.
"We have some things we need to work on," she said. "We just have to be consistent in both halves."
The Lions recently bested conference rival Midwestern State 71-64 at home.
After winning that game, Anderson said she is confident her team will be a top contender for the LSC championship.
"Winning the game solidified in my mind that we are where we need to be," she said, adding along with Midwestern State she thinks West Texas A&M and Tarleton are their top rivals. "I will be incredibly disappointed if we are not in the top three."
Junior guard Devin Oliver agreed with Anderson, and added the team knows it has the talent to become LSC champions.
"As a team, we believe we have the most talent," she said. "The first step was beating Midwestern. I think we're taking the steps to becoming conference champs."
Two Lions, senior forward Breanna Harris and junior guard Danielle Dixon, are encroaching on career milestones. Dixon is 17 points away and Harris needs 58 to be the ninth and 10th players in A&M-Commerce history to pass the 1,000 career point mark.
Harris also has other numbers that will go down in the history books.
She is currently ranked second in the LSC with 16.5 ppg and 11.6 rpg, and is also second all-time in rebounding at A&M-Commerce, needing just 71 more rebounds to eclipse Katedria Mosely for top honors.
"She is one of the few players in the nation who is averaging a double-double," said Anderson. "She is obviously one of the best players in the LSC. She's a tremendous student."
As a team, the Lions lead the LSC in offensive rebounds (16.5 rpg).
"I like the fact that people know we are going to crash the boards and keep them off the 3-point line," said Anderson. "We want to play a fast-paced, exciting to watch, and fun to play game."
No matter what happens though, Anderson said she is proud to coach this year's team.
"This is a classy bunch of people," she said. "It's a blessing to be able to coach them; it's just wonderful. I'm excited for them and excited for them to show you what they can do. Stick with us."

Viennese wine can be enjoyed in wine taverns and in the city center.
© WienTourismus/Lois Lammerhuber
More than 210 discounts and free travel with the Vienna Card
Vienna's 700 hectares of vineyards and 190 vintners in the areas around Kahlenberg, Nussberg, Bisamberg, and Mauer, where the Danube and the proximity of the Vienna Woods provide optimal climatic conditions, are unique among major cities.
The Vienna Wine Hiking Day is held every year in the autumn. The Vienna Wine Hiking Trail is accessible only on this weekend. The trail cannot be accessed during the rest of the year, because it runs through private vineyards.
Route 1 leads from Neustift am Walde to Nussdorf. In between are Sievering, the Wien Cobenzl winery, and Grinzing, all legendary locations in the Viennese wine and Heuriger tavern traditions. For those who prefer a small section as opposed to the full length of the Wine Trail, your walk can also start here. After all, a hike on the Wine Trail is not supposed to too strenuous – sipping outstanding wines and enjoying the breathtaking views are what it's all about.
One possible stop is the Wien Cobenzl winery, or one of the many heurige along the way. The heurige wine tavern is an important Viennese institution. Vintners serve their own wines in small – or sometimes large – restaurants. The wine is traditionally accompanied by cold dishes from the buffet. The heuriger combines the conviviality of the city with the rural ambiance of the vineyards.
Route 2 goes from Strebersdorf to the famous Heurige location Stammersdorf. The landscape is not the only impressive feature of this ten-kilometer-long trail. Numerous Heurige along the way offer a pleasant respite from the walk along with delicious culinary treats. The Weingut Wieninger is particularly popular and well-known.
27. and 28.9.2014
19th and 21st district, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.

Retailers, consumers and prices
Check Out Line: Get ready for another going-out-of-business sale
Check out the latest liquidation sale in the retail world.
U.S. regional department store chain Gottschalks will be liquidated after it failed to attract a buyer willing to operate the company as a going concern, the creditors' committee said. Going-out-of-business sales at the company's 58 department stores and three specialty apparel stores in six western states are expected to begin around April 3.
A joint venture of liquidators won the auction for the assets of the Fresno, California-based chain, which filed for bankruptcy protection in January. The auction is subject to bankruptcy court approval.
Liquidation sales in the current environment of lower consumer spending are not unusual. In November, Circuit City Stores became the highest-profile retailer to file for bankruptcy during the recession and liquidated its assets after failing to find a buyer.

Well, I intended to make a few jars and ended up with 26! Lord have mercy--I can't help myself. When I get started, sometimes it's hard to stop.
I love pickling. Yesterday I went out to a cooperative cannery in the country--story coming up next week--and talked to people who are serious canners. Now, that's not me. I like pickles, period, and that's what I can: Cucumber pickles. Plenty of them. Chances are, I'll do it again before the summer is over.

Rupert Murdoch Miraculously Survives Attempted Pie Attack
Oh, this is terrible. This is so so terrible.
Rupert Murdoch — CEO of News Corp, which owns news outlets around the world, including Fox News and the New York Post in the United States — was brought before British Parliament to discuss his involvement in the phone-hacking of a murdered girl, 9/11 victims, multiple celebrities and a U.K. head of state. And some guy came out of nowhere with a pie tin full of shaving cream with which attempted to hit Murdoch in the face.
Great. Now this news story is turning into a circus…
A protester rushed at Rupert Murdoch as he gave testimony to British lawmakers Tuesday, setting off a scuffle and spattering Murdoch with what appeared to be white foam in a foil pie dish in a shocking interruption of a hearing into the phone hacking scandal that's rocked the media baron's global empire.
After more than two hours of testimony, a man in a plaid shirt appeared to run toward Murdoch before being struck by his wife Wendi Deng.
Police in the back of the committee room were holding an apparently handcuffed man with white foam covering his face and shirt. The foam also appeared to have hit Murdoch's suit.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Murdoch family now, in this very trying moment.
Maybe some of our phone messages, too. It's definitely possible.

There was singing on the courthouse steps and debate inside on Thursday, Dec. 20, when Blount County commissioners debated and ultimately passed a property tax freeze for senior citizens.
Before the commission meeting, members and supporters of two area citizen's groups, Citizens for Blount County's Future and Citizens for Better Government, gathered on the courthouse steps to sing Christmas carols to encourage commissioners not to be the "Grinch" stealing a tax cut from seniors. The county ordinance on the agenda was to grant qualified seniors a break by freezing their property taxes at the current rate.
Linda King with Citizens for Blount County's Future said there were 35 people on hand for the musical protest. "We think in the long term if commissioners vote for the tax freeze it will save money," she said. "If you raise taxes year after year, you'll force seniors out. Development then will come in and cause more need for schools and infrastructure. Seniors have no need for infrastructure."
Jim Folts said the move was a good idea. "Seniors are the least expensive residence a county can have," he said. "They don't have children in school, don't occupy jail cells and don't demand a lot of police protection."
Inside, debate was strong from the commissioners on the tax cut.
Commissioner Wendy Pitts Reeves said she was not initially in favor of the measure. "Being a bleeding-heart liberal social worker, emotions sway me, but numbers are what swayed me here," she said. Pitts Reeves encouraged commissioners to vote for the measure because it would prevent seniors from being thrown off family property for being unable to pay rising property taxes. The measure also would prevent "sacred" land from being developed and allowing families with children to move in and cause a need for more schools, she said.
Commissioner Mike Walker said the measure was challenging. "I've probably been more confused by this issue than any other issue brought before this commission. This is not a simple vote, and everybody takes advantage of it," he said.
Walker said the state law allowing counties to consider the measure locally would allow only five acres of property to be subject to the freeze. The property tax freeze is for individuals 65 or older and must be reapplied for annually. If the property owner dies and their spouse wasn't included in the property tax freeze application, then the property tax goes up to the then current levels, and the spouse whose name wasn't on the application would have to apply. This could put a large burden on the surviving spouse if their name wasn't on the application with the property owner in the first place.
"It applies the new tax rate to the wife just when the family's income goes down when the husband dies," he said. "I'm going to vote for this, but it is going to come back to bite us."
The freeze has an income limit for seniors of $31,220 annual income or less for the property owner to be eligible for the freeze.
Commissioner Holden Lail said he wasn't happy with the state law allowing the counties to adopt the measure because it wasn't what county leaders had hoped it would be. "Like a lot of things that go to Nashville, it's not what we thought we had," he said. "My concern is we don't drop an additional burden on citizens."
Commissioner Bob Proffitt said seniors have a chance to plan and prepare for the tax freeze. "Seniors know ahead of time when they're going to be 65," he said.
Proffitt wasn't happy with the appeals process for the program. "The trustee is judge and jury," he said. "There is no appeals process."
Commissioner David Ballard said a vote was needed that night. "If we don't vote on this in front of us right now, senior citizens are at the mercy of whatever we do in June. If we hold the line on taxes, no harm, no foul," he said.
Commissioner Steve Samples said he wanted to see the property tax freeze happen but didn't see a reason to pass it immediately. "I'm not convinced there's going to be a property tax increase," he said. "Unless you think there's going to be a tax increase, there's no reason to do this tonight."
Commissioner Steve Hargis said he initially supported the measure at the ballot box. "I'm one of the 81 percent who voted for this," he said. "If I knew then what I know now, I would not have voted for it."
Commissioner voted 12 to nine in favor of the measure, with seven commissioners reading conflict of interest statements that either they or members of their families are 65 or older and may be affected by the decision.
Voting for the property tax freeze were commissioners Ballard, Tonya Burchfield, Ron French, Brad Harrison, Hasty, Scott Helton, Joe McCauley, Monika Murrell, Pitts Reeves, Samples and David Graham.
Voting against the measure were Gary Farmer, Hargis, John Keeble, Lail, Mike Lewis, Proffitt, Kenneth Melton, Bob Ramsey and Gerald Kirby.
Blount County Trustee Scott Graves said his office will process the applications for residents that qualify. "We're getting ready to draft a letter to send out to all taxpayers notifying them that the property tax freeze has passed, and the letter will include information about how to qualify and what the rules are," he said. "We'll send that letter out and take applications through toward the end of March."
Graves said residents who feel they qualify can call the office before coming so staff can let them know what to bring.
"There will be several things we'll need, such as proof of age and income, proof of ownership of property and proof that the property is their primary or principal residence," Graves said. "Someone that resides in Indiana and that's where their primary house is wouldn't be able to take advantage of the tax freeze the way the law is written." The commissioners also improved the ordinance regarding animal control. "This is in response to vicious animals," said animal control committee chair Steve Samples. "It gives the animal control officer authority to seize animals and cite the owners to court and charge them up to a $500 fine in General Sessions Court.

Columbus often surprises visitors don't expect to find a vibrant art community right in the middle of Ohio. From our symphonies, to our renown art museum to our indie art scene and dance companies, there is a lot to be proud of in Columbus.
Finding Time: Columbus Public Art 2012 - ChimesJanuary 1 - December 31, 2012
Address: Trinity Episcopal Church
Broad and Third Streets, Columbus
From the website:The bells at Trinity Episcopal Church are played by hand by carillonneur Nick Tepe and - with the addition of new equipment a few years ago - can be programmed to ring mechanically. Twelve composers, ranging from contemporary masters to jazz musicians to writers of sacred and secular music, have been invited to create new pieces for the bells. Beginning with an inaugural performance of the first composition at 12:02 a.m. on January 1, 2012, and continuing with a new composition each month, these works will reinforce the overarching theme of time that weaves through all Finding Time projects. The use of the church bells recalls their history as a mode of communication, while the compositions themselves will be uniquely modern reflections of our time. The year, as well as the work of Finding Time, will conclude with the performance of the final composition in the series on December 31 at 11:59 p.m. Composers: Sheena Phillips, Donald Harris, Sue Harshe, Vera Stanojevic, Bobby Floyd, Derek DiCenzo, Mark Flugge, Gerald Harvey, Jacob Reed, Mark Gunderson, Brian Harnetty, and Richard Smoot.

Tattoo Inks Pose Health Risks

Tempted to get a tattoo? Today, people from all walks of life have tattoos, which might lead you to believe that tattoos are completely safe.
But there are health risks that can result in the need for medical care. These can include a reaction to the ink or ink pigments or an infection. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is particularly concerned about infections with a family of bacteria called non-tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) that has been found in recent outbreaks of illnesses linked to contaminated tattoo inks.
M. chelonae, one of several disease-causing NTM species, can cause infections of skin, joints, lungs, and other organs, as well as eye problems. These infections can be difficult to diagnose and can require treatment lasting six months or more.
"Contaminated inks have caused serious infections in at least four states in late 2011 and early 2012," says Pamela LeBlanc, M.P.H., of FDA's Coordinated Outbreak Response and Evaluation (CORE) Network. FDA is reaching out to tattoo artists, ink and pigment manufacturers, public health officials, health care professionals, and consumers to warn them of the potential for infection.
FDA warns that tattoo inks can become contaminated by NTM and several other types of bacteria, mold and fungi. To raise awareness and ensure that diagnoses are accurate, FDA strongly encourages reporting of tattoo-associated complications to your health care professional and FDA's MedWatch program, says Linda Katz, M.D., M.P.H., director of FDA's Office of Cosmetics and Colors.
Getting the word out to tattoo artists is particularly critical. Even when they diligently follow hygienic practices, they may not know that an ink itself may be contaminated. Contamination is not always visible in the inks, Katz says.
FDA's goal is to encourage tattoo and permanent make-up artists to take certain precautions in their practice and to urge potentially infected clients to seek medical care. "Reporting an infection to FDA and the artist is important. Once the problem is reported, FDA can investigate, and the artist can take steps to prevent others from becoming infected," says epidemiologist Katherine Hollinger, D.V.M., M.P.H., from the Office of Cosmetics and Colors.
A Challenging Investigation
FDA regulates tattoo inks, investigating and intervening when a serious safety issue arises. And that's what happened here.
FDA's CORE Network initiated and coordinated the investigation with state and local health departments and laboratories, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and FDA investigators working in district offices across the nation.
The investigation began in January 2012 when FDA, through its MedWatch reporting program, learned about seven people in Monroe County, New York, several of whom had confirmed NTM infections. All seven had received tattoos from the same artist, who used the same brand and color of ink on all of them. The infections occurred on the newly acquired tattoos, with red, sometimes itchy bumps appearing soon after the tattoo had healed.
FDA later learned of 12 more people with skin infections who were also clients of the same tattoo artist. Ink of the same brand and color was also used on them. Of these 19 people, 14 were confirmed to have the same type of NTM infection.
Meanwhile, through CDC, FDA learned of outbreaks of NTM infections in other states, including but not limited to Washington, Iowa, and Colorado. The cases in these states involved different NTM species or different ink manufacturers than those in New York. While the infections in Washington, Iowa, and Colorado were not linked to the New York infections, a possible link was identified between one NTM infection in Washington and two in Iowa.
During these outbreak investigations, FDA followed up at five firms in various states. Several ink and pigment samples collected during the investigations contained microbial contaminants.
In response to the outbreak investigations, two ink manufacturers voluntarily recalled inks implicated in the outbreaks.
Strategies for Controlling Risks of Infection
Tattoo artists can minimize the risk of infection by using inks that have been formulated or processed to ensure they are free from disease-causing bacteria, and avoiding the use of non-sterile water to dilute the inks or wash the skin. Non-sterile water includes tap, bottled, filtered or distilled water.
Consumers should know that the ointments often provided by tattoo parlors are not effective against these infections. NTM infections may look similar to allergic reactions, which means they might be easily misdiagnosed and treated ineffectively.
Once an infection is diagnosed, health care providers will prescribe appropriate antibiotic treatment according to Katz. Such treatment might have uncomfortable side effects, such as nausea or gastrointestinal problems. However, without prompt and proper treatment an infection could spread beyond the tattoo or become complicated by a secondary infection.
If you suspect you may have a tattoo-related infection, FDA recommends the following:
- Contact your health care professional if you see a red rash with swelling, possibly accompanied by itching or pain in the tattooed area, usually appearing 2-3 weeks after tattooing.
- Report the problem to the tattoo artist.
- Report the problem to MedWatch, on the Web or at 1-800-332-1088; or contact FDA's consumer complaint coordinator in your area.
You should also know that infections are not the only risk that may be associated with tattoo inks. See Tattoos and Permanent Makeup for more information about other potential hazards associated with tattoo inks.
Why Tattoo Inks Go Bad
Inks and pigments can be contaminated through:
- use of contaminated ingredients to make inks,
- use of manufacturing processes that introduce contaminants or allow contaminants to survive,
- use of unhygienic practices that contaminate ink bottles or mixing with contaminated colors,
- use of non-sterile water to dilute the inks, and
- using tattoo inks past their expiration date.

After 15 books about somebody else (mostly alter ego Charlie Farquharson) plus one book by his drag-queen character, Charlie's rich city cousin Valerie Rosedale, Don Harron now presents the story of his 77-year stint in the entertainment business.
The actor's colourful career includes such highlights as making money in 1935 as a 10-year-old cartoonist doing mother-and-son banquets; winning an ACTRA Award as best radio host for Morningside; six stage shows on Broadway, three in London's West End, and 10 years of Shakespeare in three countries; a Gemini Award for lifetime achievement; writing the lyrics for five musicals, including Anne of Green Gables; and being appointed to the Canadian Country Music Hall of Honours due to his appearances on Hee Haw.
Whether playing a serious stage role or hamming it up as Charlie Farquharson, Harron is always insightful and provides a unique perspective on a long life in the entertainment business.less

From this valley they say you are going
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine
That has brightened our path for a while
Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
But remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loved you so true
Won't you think of the valley you're leaving
Oh how lonely, how sad it will be?
Oh think of the fond heart you're breaking
And the grief you are causing to me
As you go to your home by the ocean
May you never forget those sweet hours
That we spent in the Red River Valley
And the love we exchanged mid the flowers
Listen to the tune.

It has also been called "Cowboy Love Song." It has been recorded by singers ranging from Woody Guthrie to the Andrew Sisters. It's an authentic folk song for children and adults.


text: Health Care, Development Dominate Debate in Forest Hills by Urwah Ahmed, Sep 14, 2009 Twitter Photo (cc) beau-dog A June street fair on Austin Street in Forest Hills With its pleasant residential neighborhoods and fairly affluent population, District 29 in Queens avoids many of the ills facing the city's grittier areas. But like so many Americans, residents of this area have major concerns about health care. Some pr ads post informative or simple patents so characteristics can consider the job. http://achatkamagrasurinternetpascheronline.com What is happening with your year? The closing of hospitals and the delivery of medical services to the district's residents has been a key issue in the campaign for the City Council seat currently held by Melinda Katz, who decided not to see re-election and is running for city comptroller. Like people in other parts of Queens, residents of the area also are concerned about development. You should much download any chance en masse unless you know what it is, very when its from favored soldiers and there is company vetting it. propecia pharmacie After his opening, ted's spam also changed and too did his house. The race features six Democrats: Heidi Chain, a lawyer with the city Department of Finance who received the 2008 New York Police Department Woman of the Year award; Albert Cohen, an immigrant from Tajikistan, who has his own law practice; Michael Cohen, who represented Forest Hills in the State Assembly from 1999 to 2005; Melquiades Gagarin, media manager for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund; Karen Koslowitz, a former City Council member; and Lynn Schulman, the chair of Community Board 6. Though i agree that does happen to a city, keep in lack that most philosophical college police make the square revelaste of their stream off a therefore nervous heart of consequences. kamagra oral jelly prix While she does real wish to marry he convinces her into sense saying that she will be the great escape of his outside. The winner of the Sept. 15 primary will run against the Republican candidate, Bartholomew F. Bruno, in the Nov. 3 election. A Hospital Shortage? In a span of 12 months, three hospitals in Queens have closed. One, Parkway Hospital, the city's only privately run hospital, was in District 29. (The other two were Mary Immaculate Hospital and St. Johns Queens). In the wake of the closure, residents of Kew Gardens and surrounding neighborhoods worry about a shortage of hospital beds and long waits at emergency rooms. Heidi Chain The volume of patients at Forest Hills Hospital has increased by 40 percent from a year ago, and the number of patients who are being admitted is up about 12 percent, according to public relations spokesman for Forest Hills Hospital Terry Lynam. "They [hospitals] have people practically in bunk beds," said Barbara Stuchinski, a local resident. Chain expressed dismay that the hospitals ever were allowed to close. "They bail out banks, we bail out General Motors, and we didn't bail out the hospitals to protect the folks in Queens," she said, her tone reflecting her disbelief. To help fill the gap, she would establish a service helpline to provide immediate round-the-clock help. Melquiades Gagarin The closing has had very real effects, according to Schulman, who works at Woodhull Medical Center in Brooklyn. "The number of ambulance tours in the districts have gone down so response time has gone up," she said. She hopes to open an ambulatory care center in the district to provide immediate assistance to residents. In Michael Cohen's view, the closed hospitals must be replaced. "Either reopen those hospitals or open new facilities," he said. "On a temporary basis, we should expand a walk-in clinic, but that is no substitute for a hospital." Money for this could come from a stock transfer tax or a bond issue approved by voters. Albert Cohen would try to reduce the burden on the hospitals by promoting preventive care. To accomplish this, he would invest in medical screenings to identify health concerns before they send an individual to the emergency room. Rezoning the District The recently approved rezoning of Forest Hill's Austin Street won applause from the candidates. Austin Street has become the trendy shopping destination for residents with big name stores such as Sephora and Barnes & Noble. The rezoning is intended to promote more residential development in the already crowded area. Karen Koslowitz Koslowitz, who has very distinct red hair, has been credited with shutting down strip club Runway 69 when she last served as council member. That helped create the current boom in development on Austin Street. While Michael Cohen supports the overall rezoning, he has concerns about parking. "I am critical in the plan with the amount of mandatory parking that would be provided," he said. Albert Cohen has also focused on parking problems in the district, holding a press conference to complain about angled parking spaces on 108th Street and the ticketing of driver who don't back into their spot. On another development question, five of the candidates have endorsed the rezoning to limit sizes of building in the Cord Meyer area, but in a debate, Albert Cohen opposed the change. He said the new limits are aimed at the Bukharian community, many of whom have built large homes in that neighborhood. According to TimesLedger newspaper, the rezoning " has highlighted the tension between the Bukharians and non-Bukharians." Gagarin would change zoning rules to allow for the creation of more schools. As the area has boomed, rents have increased. Many resident worry about the expense and fear they might have to another neighborhood. Schulman, vowed to advocate for legislation that would let the City Council set rent guidelines, as opposed to having the state legislature do it. In the Home Stretch The campaign has been largely free of acrimony, as the candidate compete for money and support in advance of primary day. Albert Cohen Chain, who has the support of many police groups, leads in fund-raising, but there's a bit of a twist. Unlike her opponents -- and the vast majority of city candidates apart from Mayor Michael Bloomberg -- she is not participating in the public finance system, reportedly because she does not think candidates should take taxpayer money in these tight economic times. She has raised almost $207,000 in private donations -- with more than $125,000 of that coming from herself. Now it turns out Chain may not have saved the city any money afterall. City Hall has reportedthat Chain's fundraising and not particpating in public financing "triggered a provision of the Campaign Finance Board program that gives opponents an additional $95,000 in public funds. That equals $7,000 more than she would have received had she joined the program and received matching funds for raising the maximum amount from others." Among the others, Koslowitz has raised the most private money -- $93,730, followed by Schulman with $87,260, Michael Cohen with almost $46,000 and Albert Cohen with about $43,000. Gagarin trails with $17,599. Lynn Schulman Schulman, who ran unsuccessfully for the seat eight years ago, has the backing of the Working Families Party and the Service Employees Union this time around. The Times has endorsed her as well. Koslowitz, who has the Independence Party nomination, is backed by City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who has campaigned with her.

To look at Geox or watch him scamper around, he looks like any other German Shepherd. But as a K-9 on a police call out, bad guys need to watch out, Geox is trained to spring into action when commanded by his handler,
Geox is the third dog to be trained as a K-9 for the department. had the first dog, who has since passed away. When Sgt. Timothy Kelly's K-9 partner, the second dog of the department, retired in 2011, Piccolo got the call in July of that year.
Growing up in Tewksbury, Piccolo has been a police officer for 15 years. He lives with his wife Kim and their children, Anna, almost 17 and Bobby, 14. They also have a black lab whose name is Lance.
Piccolo explained that it was Kenneth Ballinger, Assistant Deputy Superintendent of the Plymouth County Sheriff's office and K-9 trainer that found Geox at the D. Logan House Kennels in Virginia where they breed police dogs.
Geox originally came from Holland and is a purebred German Shepherd, he said. The order was for a dog who could be trained for both patrol certification, finding criminals, missing persons and building searches, and for narcotics certification.
"Kenny went down to Virginia with his knowledge and expertise, and he thought Geox was a good fit for us," Piccolo said.
The next step was for to see if Piccolo and Geox could bond. It only took a month before they began the daily trek to Plymouth for their 16 weeks of training.
"it wasn't the typical classroom setting, and it wasn't only in one location," he said. Some days they were in Bridgewater or other surrounding towns for them to experience different terrain and environments.
On their first day, he could already see results in those dogs and handlers that were further along in the training. Using the method of "food reward training," and scent pads, the dogs learn to track by distinguishing odors and ground disturbances, he explained.
The food is eventually replaced by a man in a biting suit, but the dogs are always rewarded with food, Piccolo said.
The dogs also learn that different harnesses and how the leash is attached to the harness can indicate a different type of search. Piccolo referred to this as "muscle memory."
It only took Geox 12 weeks to be certified, but the partners have on-going training to keep up the certification.
On the road by the third week of last December, Geox and Piccolo are also part of the North Eastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council (NEMLEC), a response team that covers towns in Essex and Middlesex counties. They receive a lot of call outs, sometimes at 3am.
Geox has already found a suicidal female near a Motel 6 and chased kids who were breaking into cars. Whenever Piccolo goes into a situation, he always warns the perpetrator to come out or they will get bitten. The warning protects them from legal action. The commands are given in German and there is no command to release a bite. Piccolo said once Geox locks on a bite, he would literally have to pull the dog off of someone.
Although he doesn't want to see anyone bitten, Piccolo said it is gratifying to see Geox get excited when he is on track. "It is rewarding like having a child bring home a good report card," he said. Every time Geox finds something or someone, he is always rewarded with food. This includes training exercises at home in the front yard.
Geox is not seen as aggressive and has been accepted as a member of the family. Anna said she doesn't play with him because she knows he has a job to do. Bobby, however, likes to help with the home training.
"I go into the woods, and Geox finds me," he said.
Piccolo takes Geox to work, and has only leaves him at home when he goes out for an errand. Kim said that hasn't been a problem, and like any other dog, Geox spends a lot of time napping.
"This is a huge commitment for the family, and it was a family decision," said Piccolo. As far as the early morning calls?
"Al never just worked 9 to 5," said Kim.

Who doesn't like cupcakes? They are pretty, easy to make and delicious! I have a major sweet tooth and have loved cupcakes since probably before I was born, yet I never had an interest in actually baking some on my own. That is until I created my Pinterest account! Everywhere I looked on Pinterest I found recipes that sounded and looked amazing. All of a sudden I couldn't wait to try to make some delicious (and pretty!) cupcakes on my own.
At first my cupcakes were not coming out well. They just didn't taste the way they were supposed to and definitely did not look the way they were supposed to. After throwing out what felt like the hundredth failed cupcake, I finally nailed the cupcake game. These recipes are my go to cupcakes that people always seem to love – I know I do!

Hurricane Sandy brought catastrophic damage into the lives of many, leaving even more local residents struggling in a financial climate that is already uncertain.
Such situations provide the motivation for The Neighbor Fund, which provides aid to Orange & Rockland customers who are unable to pay to heat their homes due to an emergency. O&R annoucned Tuesday that The Neighbor Fund had opened for the winter.
The Neighbor Fund has given grants almost $4 million in grants to approximately 15,000 households since 1983, including $35,000 split among 100 grants last year.
Contributions by O&R customers provide half of of the money, with O&R's parent company, Consolidated Edison, Inc., matching the donations dollar-for-dollar.
O&R customers can donate to the fund either by adding $1 to their energy bill payment or by writing a check payable to the Neighbor Fund. Chkecks should be sent to O&R at 1 Blue Hill Plaza in Pearl River, NY 10965, Attn: Linda Feger.
Only customers of O&R or Piek County Light & Power in Pennsylvania are eligible for the grants. They must provide proof of the emergency, such as medical bills or unemployment notification and they have to exhaust government resources available first.
The Salvation Army handles the administration of the Neighbor Fund and evaluates all applications. To apply, contact the Salvation Army offices in Spring Valley (845-352-9577), Middletown (845-343-0821) or Pert Jervis (845-856-3214) or The Neighbor Fund outreach centers at RCDC (845-352-1400), Village of Kiryas Joel Social Services (845-783-7656), Community Outreach Center (845-356-9600) or Rockland Community Action (845-728-0688).

Alexandria Mayor Bill Euille has an almost $10,000 lead in campaign contributions for the November general election over Andrew Macdonald, who is running for the .
Euille raised $26,180 to Macdonald's $16,798, according to the Virginia Public Access Project and reported by The Washington Post.
"Many of the mayor's contributions came from law firms, real estate concerns and retirees; much of Macdonald's support from retirees active in the waterfront anti-development movement," reports the Post's Virginia Politics blog.
Macdonald co-founded Citizens for an Alternative Alexandria Waterfront Plan, a to rezoning the city's riverside to allow hotels there. Euille is an avid supporter of the city's Waterfront Small Area Plan.
Euille told the Post he expects to raise much more money. Macdonald's campaign noted that he started his campaign three months after Euille. In the period from April through June, Macdonald, who holds a fundraiser Tuesday evening, outraised his competitor three-to-one.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai is in Washington this week for meetings with President Obama and other senior administration officials. The talks are expected to help set the framework for U.S. involvement in Afghanistan after the bulk of American and NATO forces leave at the end of 2014. One of the key issues to be discussed is the number of American troops to remain in Afghanistan after that date.

This year's flu season started about a month early, prompting federal health officials to warn it could be one of the worst in years. They're urging everyone to get their flu shots.
But like every flu season, there are lots of reports of people complaining that they got their shot but still got the flu. What's up with that?
Well, as Michael Jhung of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention explains, there are lots of possible reasons.
The cliche about writers is they should write what they know, and that old saw has certainly worked for Quiara Alegria Hudes. The 35-year-old playwright has mined her Puerto Rican family's stories into a series of plays, a musical and even a children's book. Now, her Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, Water by the Spoonful, is being brought to life in the first New York production of the play, opening off-Broadway on Tuesday evening.

In the Bolivar Plaza of downtown Caracas, supporters of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez arrive carrying photographs of their leader and singing songs urging him on. Music blares from loudspeakers, repeating over and over, "Chavez, my commander, is here to stay."
Chavez, however, is most definitely not here, and increasingly many Venezuelans wonder if he'll ever be back. He flew to Cuba, Venezuela's closest ally, for an operation that took place on Dec. 11. Before leaving for his fourth cancer surgery, Chavez named a successor.
The Shell oil drilling rig that ran aground off Alaska last week is now anchored in a quiet harbor so divers can assess the damage. Wildlife officials say they have seen no evidence of a spill from the vessel, which was carrying tanks of diesel fuel. But the accident does raise questions about Shell's plans to drill for oil in the remote and fragile ecosystem of the Arctic.
NPR's Richard Harris reports.

EISENBERG: So you both have the same last name, huh?
TINA KENDALL: Yes.

SARAH SHEPPARD: Thank you.
EISENBERG: And Mike, you're a trivia buff too, since, what, grade five? Is that right?
MIKE CISNEROS: Yeah, roughly.
EISENBERG: You discovered Games magazine and it was all over, right?
CISNEROS: Absolutely.

For the third straight year, spending on health care in 2011 grew at a historically slow rate, government researchers report.
According to a study published in the January issue of the policy journal Health Affairs, U.S. health spending rose 3.9 percent in 2011. That's statistically almost identical to the rate of increase in each of the two previous years.

This month marks the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the famed and widely cited case that legalized abortion. Yet across the country, states are continuing to approve restrictions.
With little fanfare, Virginia and Michigan Republican governors recently signed new abortion bills into law. Virginia's Bob McDonnell, in particular, quietly approved clinic regulations adopted by the state's Board of Health three months ago that hold abortion clinics to the same building standards as hospitals.

All students should send their arrival details to the Accommodation Office to arrange an airport pickup. This must be done at least one week prior to departure.
Information on Swap Procedure with Australian Villages
UC Accommodation Student Village (UCA) is managed by Campus Living Villages (a global company with student villages across Australia). Students may stay for no longer than 2 weeks in one other campus living village. The stay must be taken up either immediately before the start of the academic year (January–February) for those students arriving in Semester 1, or immediately following their last university commitment at the end of the year (November–December) for those students arriving in Semester 2.
Students should notify UCA of their intention to request to take up the Village Swap at the time of application and complete the booking form. Further information is available by emailing email@example.com.
No guarantees can be given on availability for the swap. Where there is no availability at the village of first preference, the application will be forwarded on to the village of second preference.
Off-Campus Accommodation
For those students coming only for one semester, it can be difficult to find off-campus accommodation as most rental properties around the university area come unfurnished and have 52 week leases. Most halls and villages also give preference to full year applicants.
For students wishing to apply for homestay, please contact the Accommodation Office for an application form.
Please Note: The Christchurch rental market is tight at the moment and it is difficult to get private rental accommodation in most areas. Study Abroad and Exchange students are, therefore, advised to apply for accommodation at UC Accommodation Student Village as outlined above or apply for homestay.

HM sales of CBU Montero to begin from Aug
Our Bureau
Revving up
Initiative taken to develop forge, foundry and press shop at Uttarpara plant into an auto component business.
Negotiations under way for contracts with OEMs in India and abroad.
Tie-ups for long-term contracts with four OEMs firmed up.
Kolkata , July 28
Hindustan Motors (HM) will commence sales of the CBU Montero - a high-end luxury sports utility vehicle - from the second week of August 2006.
To begin with, the company hopes to sell 20 units of the CBU Montero every month, Mr C.K. Birla, Chairman of Hindustan Motors Ltd, told newspersons after the conclusion of the company's 64th annual general meeting held here on Friday.Mr Birla said the Montero had been priced at Rs 29.70 lakh ex-showroom Delhi and sales of the vehicle were expected to pick up with time. "Last year, we were selling 15 units of the Pajero every month. Now we sell about 70 units a month. We hope sales of the Montero will follow a similar trend," he said.
Uttarpara plant
According to him, a strategic initiative has been taken to develop forge, foundry and press shop at the company's Uttarpara plant into an auto component business. Negotiations were under way for sizeable long-term contracts with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in India and abroad.
In fact, tie-ups for long-term contracts with four such OEMs had been firmed up, he said, but declined to divulge the names. It was hoped that, in the years ahead, the auto components business would emerge as a source of both revenue and profits.
He said the company was awaiting the West Bengal Government's permission for alternative use of 314 acres of land at Uttarpara. The company proposes to develop the 314 acres into infrastructure for auto components manufacturers and IT companies. The proposed integrated complex would also have a residential section. HDFC has been asked to prepare a blueprint in this regard.
During the nine-month accounting period ended March 31, 2006, HM generated a total income of Rs 441 crore and loss after taxation of Rs 43.69 crore. In the previous 15-month accounting period, the company recorded a turnover of Rs 1,255.41 crore and a profit after tax of Rs 61.19 crore. During the first quarter of the current fiscal, HM generated a turnover of Rs 141.47 crore against Rs 211.34 crore during the corresponding period of last year. During April-June 2006, HM posted a net loss of Rs 20.50 crore.

The Bayport Fire Department responded to a Middle Road home this afternoon after a Bayport resident feared that a relative was suffering from carbon monoxide posioning.
Several trucks and nearly a dozen volunteer firefighters arrived at the home near Oakwood Avenue within minutes of the emergency call. A check of the home, led by Chief Ryan Tomassone, found no evidence of a carbon monoxide threat.

Mandatory housing of violent offenders in major institutions for at least 6 months.
There is no statutory definition of the phrase "violent offender" which appears in section 17-25-103 so the department may interpret the phrase in accord with its commonly accepted meaning.
The 6 month time period required by section 17-25-103 should begin upon the inmate's reception at any diagnostic unit operated by the department and should not include any time spent in presentence confinement.

Word is spreading about possible legislation allowing school districts to reduce the school year no more than 10 days due to Hurricane Sandy keeping kids at home. In the meantime, most local school districts still have plans to keep kids in class for the full 180-day school year.
Mount Sinai School district decided to take one day of vacation away from students over Thanksgiving break, opening up for a full day of classes next Wednesday.
"We are certainly in a tough position," said Superintendent of Schools Enrico Crocetti in an email sent to parents in the district. "Our prime directive is to ensure the best quality education for our students."
He added "maintaining the minimum of 180 instructional days is of paramount importance."
In that district the calendar year provided four snow days but Mt. Sinai had already been closed seven days (two of which were conference days.) That left the district one day short, which they will make up with the reduced holiday break next week.
"If we are required to take more inclement weather days they will be coming off of our March break," Crocetti said in his announcement.
Over at Port Jefferson School District, Superintendent Ken Bossert is meeting with representatives of the educational staff to look at the calendar on Monday to decide how to proceed. If the days have to be made up, he expects they will come from their February break.
Bossert is also anticipating that the New York State Education Department will provide guidance on the 180-day school year waiver.
"Last year, a waiver was granted to those districts affected by [Hurricane] Irene, so there is some precedent," he said.
The state legislature passed a resolution in 2011 that allowed for exceptions to the 180-day rule of up to 10 days instead of the regularly allowed five from damages caused by extreme weather conditions, like tropical storm Irene in August of last year.
According to the state education department's website, some circumstances may be approved by the New York State Education Department Commissioner if they are "extraordinary," which include "extraordinarily adverse weather conditions, an impairment of heating facilities, an insufficient water supply, a fuel shortage, a lack of electricity, a natural gas leak, unacceptable levels of chemical substances, or the destruction of a school building."
Over at Comsewogue School District, Superintendent Joseph Rella said they are also still talking about what they will do.
"We are discussing a number of options but nothing has been decided yet," he said.

The last truly 'great' Rush album...
progmeister Unsigned
edited November 2012 in History of Rock
horsepastriesa Rising StarWell I personally don't enjoy a good chunk of their discography (Signals to Presto, Counterparts to Vapor Trails) but love the other half dearly (I'm excluding Clockwork Angels because I haven't listened to it yet). The stuff I don't like is a bit too synth-heavy and ambient for my taste, but somehow they got it right on Roll the Bones, and none of their other synth-abusive albums. Even though it's not as great as Moving Pictures, it's still a great album
instantdeath999 Washed Upkiller_roach;4899256 said:I'd argue it was Permanent Waves (1980), but still...
I'd agree it isn't one of their best, but I would argue it contains one of their greatest songs (The Camera Eye)Runesmith;4899473 said:I'm going to go with Hold Your Fire, but then again, I'm a big fan of their New Wave period.
As do I, but maybe it's because "Time Stands Still" was one of the first Rush songs I liked...
M_Robbins5;4899638 said:I can't really say what the last truly great Rush album was since I only own Moving Pictures and 2112. I should see about fixing that. Which Rush albums do you guys recommend?
In terms of their proggier output, pretty much anything from Fly By Night to Moving Pictures (includes Caress of Steel, 2112, A Farewell To Kings, Hemispheres, and Permanent Waves) is recommended.
In terms of their poppier output, I'd point out Presto, Roll The Bones, and Power Windows.
Their last two albums (Snakes & Arrows and Clockwork Angels) are both recommended, and exist somewhere between the two.
SheSaidSheSaid Washed Upinstantdeath999;4899633 said:As do I, but maybe it's because "Time Stands Still" was one of the first Rush songs I liked...
Didn't know you were such an All-American Rejects fan
The lack of love for Counterparts and Test for Echo in this thread makes me a sad panda.
progmeister UnsignedReally interesting replies! It sort of confirms what I suspected from reading fans' album reviews on Amazon and the like....there really is very little consensus amongst fans about Rush' best period - let alone their best album. Sign of a great band, I suppose. I think some of it has to do with when you became a fan. 80s Rush fans tend to like that period best. Older fans like the early stuff etc.
Personally, I like their proggy, earlier stuff. The cut-off point for me is 'Moving pictures' even though I'm not wild about side two, which is a bit turgid and contains echoes of future musical developments along with the cod-reggae 'Vital signs'. After that, for me, Rush become a less remarkable, more mainstream AOR rock band and lose much of their earlier bombast and creative flair. I wouldn't dismiss any of their albums, however. All are made with huge care and effort.
It's interesting, though, that of all bands I know Rush fans are by far the most split on what their best music is.
instantdeath999 Washed UpSheSaidSheSaid;4899800 said:Didn't know you were such an All-American Rejects fan
The lack of love for Counterparts and Test for Echo in this thread makes me a sad panda.
Hmm, they sound so similar, I must have just heard it and assumed it was Rush
So apparently it's been "Time Stand Still" all these years... learn something new every day.
TheBonobo4 Road WarriorI haven't listened to anything of their's past 1981 except Counterparts (1992). That said, I haven't listened to all of their 70s stuff either. But I can say this:
Working Man (song from album Rush) is excellent.
Fly By Night (the song, not the album) is excellent. Haven't listened to the rest of the album.
Caress of Steel minus Necromancer is excellent. Lamneth is my 2nd favourite song by them, after 2112. Necromancer is a bit too weird for me.
2112 is my favourite song by them.
Farewell to Kings album is epic, but the Voyage is a strange song that I can't tell if I love/hate it. It's very much not a standalone, and requires much listening to to understand it.
Hemispheres. What can I say? Perfect all round. Hemispheres, Trees, Circumstances, La Villa Strangiato.
Permanent Waves. Can't comment, though Spirit of radio is very good.
Moving Pictures. Hit and miss. I like some of it but sometimes it feels like filler and "samey". Though I do like Tom Sawyer and Limelight.
Finally, Counterparts. Overall a good album, with a few weaker songs. Can't remember off the top of my head, but I know I liked Stick it Out, and Animate and Nobody's Hero are both magnificent!
wreckem279 Opening ActClockwork Angels is the best they've done since Counterparts IMO (which I realize means VERY little), and I enjoyed Counterparts a lot.
I will say, their 90's stuff may not have been up to the par of their earlier albums, but their were still some GREAT songs they put out in that time period.
HMXLachesis Harmonix AlumI wasn't initially wild about Clockwork Angels, but it really grew on me - especially after reading the accompanying novel (by Neil Peart and Kevin Anderson). In some ways, it's 2112 all over again, but in others, it's completely brand new.
Link to the novel: http://www.amazon.com/Clockwork-Angels-Kevin-J-Anderson/dp/1770411216
Dadasaurus Rex Rawwwwwwr!I put the line at Moving Pictures as the last "Great" Album. I do like a lot of the stuff after that, just don't feel that strong about any whole album beyond that point. Part of it has to be my leaning towards long, epic productions found on MP and prior.

Headlong Flight on the Clockwork angels album went almost 7 1/2 minutes. Would that be considered long enough in your eyes?
CanuckGamer;4934039 said:Headlong Flight on the Clockwork angels album went almost 7 1/2 minutes. Would that be considered long enough in your eyes?
Um, not even close.
Moving Pictures was the last Rush album to feature a song over 10 minutes in length (barely), while many other top artists in the progressive space lately seem to be in an arms race over making longer and longer material (multiple ten-plus-minute tracks are the norm in prog anymore, unless your album is just one long song cycle [see Porcupine Tree's "The Incident", Glass Hammer's "Perilous", Transatlantic's "The Whirlwind"...]).
They've become a throwback to an era that didn't ever exist except for them.

The Vampire Diaries season 4 may have to address Elena becoming a vampire and Klaus in Tyler's body, but there is also the matter of the love triangles of the show. How will those continue to be part of the CW drama?
Vampire Diaries Season 4 Spoilers
TVLine talked to executive producer Julie Plec about what's coming up for all the relationships in the new season. Two love triangles will continue—Damon, Elena, and Stefan, and Tyler, Caroline, and Klaus—while a new one may develop—Bonnie, Jeremy, and April. So how will recent events affect these relationships?
Things are going to be different for the Stefan-Elena-Damon love triangle now that she's a vampire, and Plec explained, "This circumstance, which is pretty horrific, is going to make them all care about each other even more deeply and argue even more intensely and fracture even more greatly and love as deeply as possible." It's a way to almost reboot the love triangle after Elena chose Stefan at the end of last season before everything went down. Yes, Elena is going to be remembering those times Damon compelled her, including when he told her he loved her, but Plec said that she's not going to change her mind. That doesn't mean that it doesn't give her something to think about and that does "imbed itself in her brain a little bit." So it seems like Elena's going to be with Stefan—at least to begin the season—while Damon returns to being the Damon fans will recognize from the first season. Of course, with Elena becoming a vampire and having to adapt, this could mean some changes in Elena as well, changes that could lead her to Damon at some point. Anything can happen now that Elena's a vampire and she has to adjust to this life she never wanted.
Another love triangle that will continue in The Vampire Diaries season 4 is that between Tyler, Caroline, and Klaus. Klaus is currently in Tyler's body, and it has already been teased "clothes will fly when Tyler and Caroline reunite," but it has yet to be revealed it that's a reunion between Tyler and Caroline or Klaus still in Tyler's body pretending to be Tyler and Caroline. All Plec would tease was "I definitely think that Klaus is going to unwittingly provide a little bit of mistaken identity hijinks in the first episode back." That said, Plec also said that "Tyler and Caroline have a really solid bond, a really solid relationship," so it sounds like they'll get some happiness together at some point once Tyler's back in control of his body and Klaus is back in his. However that clothes-flying reunion goes, the love triangle there is far from over, which means more good scenes between Caroline and Tyler, Caroline and Klaus, and Klaus and Tyler. How can that not be a good thing?
The final love triangle that Plec addressed is one that could develop with the new character of April, who knew Jeremy and Elena when they were younger. Plec explained that they don't have plans for her to be romantically linked to anyone, "but [they're] certainly open to seeing where the chemistry flies." So it is possible that after seeing each other again, something could spark between Jeremy and April. Speaking of Jeremy, things are far from over between him and Bonnie. Plec said they "are very bonded to each other. In spite of having found a piece of closure in their relationship, they will continue to be drawn to each other emotionally. Whether it's romantically or not, I can't really say." With graduation coming up and the storyline involving her magic and the witches, Bonnie could be reevaluating things in her life, including her relationship with Jeremy. Will they get back together before the end of the school year, or will they at least have a conversation about their relationship that provides closure of some sort?

Jimmy Fallon channeled Russell Brand on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon Friday night, and it was priceless. Nearly all the late night talk show hosts have weighed in on the Katy Perry and Russell Brand split, but Fallon's impersonation definitely takes the cake.
According to a report from Celebuzz, Jimmy Fallon sported skin-tight leather pants and a long, curly wig in his effort to depict Brand. His impersonation--complete with British accent--was dead-on, and the crowd went wild with laughter and applause.
As part of his impersonation, Fallon depicted Brand as he perused an issue of OK Magazine. The sketch found Katy Perry's soon to be ex-husband flipping through the pages, wrought with angst over how he had been portrayed most unfairly in the text.
If you didn't happen to catch Jimmy Fallon's impersonation of Russell Brand on Friday night, you can catch the video clip by clicking here. But sit down first. You could either pee your pants laughing, or stumble and hit your head when your eyes fill with tears of profuse laughter. It's an incredibly funny clip.
Jimmy Fallon is nothing if not one of the best impersonators around. His musical talents even allow him to flawlessly portray singers, too. His Russell Brand impersonation is definitely one of his recent best, and even Katy Perry might have a hard time ascertaining which of these men she actually married.
What do you think of Jimmy Fallon's sketch of Brand on Friday night? Do you think he hit the Arthur actor's persona right on the head?

Robert Kirkman signs deal to distribute Skybound titles in Asia
Robert Kirkman's fledgling Skybound comics line is expanding into Asia through a new distribution deal with the production company Moving Images.
Launched in July 2010, the Image Comics imprint is home to Kirkman's books, most prominently The Walking Dead and Invincible, as well as hand-picked additions like Brandon Seifert and Lukas Ketner's Witch Doctor, and the recently confirmed Thief of Thieves, a collaboration between Kirkman, Nick Spencer, Shawn Martinbrough and a rotating roster of writers.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Skybound Asia will be based in Singapore, allowing the imprint to distribute directly to regional markets. The new venture will have a presence this weekend at the Singapore Toy, Game & Comic Convention.
"The next step for Skybound and The Walking Dead in particular is the evolution into a global brand," Kirkman says. "Partnering with Moving Images to form Skybound Asia is the first logical step toward that goal. It will allow us to gain a foothold in emerging markets in order to bring Skybound comics and products to an entirely new fan base."
SDCC '11 | Robert Kirkman spills the goods on Thief of Thieves
Robert Kirkman has at last revealed details of Thief of Thieves, a collaboration with Morning Glories writer Nick Spencer first teased a year ago with the launch of the Skybound imprint.
The Walking Dead creator tells USA Today he'll employ a writer's room approach similar to what occurs with television series, with he and Spencer hammering out the overall plot, and a team of scribes trading off on story arcs. (It appears virtually identical to the model used by Dark Horse's Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8, on which Joss Whedon served as executive producer.)
Spencer will pen the first arc of Thief of Thieves, which follows an aging international art thief who decides to retire from the game and instead steal from other criminals. "He's got this compulsion where he has to steal or he doesn't feel like he's living, but he doesn't want to break the law anymore," Kirkman tells the newspaper.
Shawn Martinbrough, known for his noirish approach on such titles as Luke Cage Noir, Angeltown and DMZ — he even wrote the book How to Drawn Noir Comics — will be the permanent artist. Kirkman will step in at some point to pen his own arc. However, he's keeping the names of the other writers a secret; presumably at least some of them will be revealed this week at Comic-Con International in San Diego.
