III Frontiers / Now & Then FRCD 097 Produced by: Dann & David Huff Released: Nov. 28 Closest Relative: Def Leppard, Themselves! GENRE: Melodic Rock |
It was never going to be a question of whether this release would be any good or not. It was always going to depend on just how good! And just how good are some songs going to sound, given that they were part of a $500,000 production budget?!! Well, this record is everything and more that I hoped for and is essentially a sensational melodic rock release. Killer tunes, killer production and some nice packaging courtesy of Chuck Wright - wearing his graphic designers hat. This is of course a collection of unreleased tunes from the vaults of the Huff Brothers. But one of the best aspects of this release is the attitude of the band members themselves. They have demonstrated their commitment to the name Giant by unearthing the best possible collection of unreleased songs left to the vaults and have bettered their sound with new studio enhancements, remastering and re-mixing. It would have been quite easy to turn in a collection of half finished tracks and live recordings. This album is the best possible result of the band's decision to try and make their name an ongoing concern in today's marketplace. After an initial search of the vaults yielded good results, project co-ordinator and band drummer David Huff dug deeper and the result is evident on this release. All of the songs were recorded or demo'd for the band's previous two releases and have been studio tweaked and re-recorded in 2001 for this release. | |||
Three of those songs - You Will Be Mine, Over You and Don't Leave Me In Love were part of the Terry Thomas production budget for the albums are were only dropped at the last minute due to them conflicting with other tracks already assigned to the albums. The remaining tracks were fully completed - produced by the band themselves and recently re-mixed, re-mastered and studio enhanced at Dann's Nashville studio. Given that both David and Dann are accomplished producers int heir own right, there isn't one track on this album that doesn't sound a million bucks. The songs: Combustion is only 90 seconds long, but is right out of the Giant textbook of building over-the-top guitar solo intro's! Much like the first two albums build their presence with big intro's, so does III. The intro halts and You Will Be Mine kicks in. With a flash, it's somewhere between 1989 and 1992 again, when bands like Giant were getting major labels bidding for their services! This track is a typical Giant uptempo rocker, in the vein of past classics like No Way Out and Get Used To It. Over You is a feel good, big production rock number, with a slew of harmony vocals and a very strong Huff lead vocal. The tasteful addition of keyboards around the chorus makes it more commercial and poppy, but it's a great sing a long pop rocker. Don't Leave Me In Love is the track most of you know already - the lead single that kicked off this welcomed comeback. This track is a typical Giant ballad, with a ton of keyboards, soft moody vocals and then soaring choruses and harmony vocals. Dann spoke fondly of this song, saying that it only just missed the cut with the Time To Burn album. I agree, this is a classic AOR ballad and a sensational vocal from Dann. Mark Spiro co-writes and a version of the song can be found on his solo album Devotion. Love Can't Help You Now is the first track of this album where I can see reasons why it wasn't originally picked as a previous album track. But as part of this album, it fits perfectly. It's a mid-tempo rock track that kicks your ass come chorus time and is perfectly placed to aid the flow of this album. Sky Is The Limit is another classic Giant rocker, with more than a hint of Def Leppard about it. The bridge, then the chorus itself are both fabulous examples of catchy hard rock, with Giant fans bound to lap this up. Just about time for another ballad and End Of The World delivers. Another great moody slow ballad with more great harmony vocals that ads even more strength to this release. Oh Yeah says Def Leppard, eat your heart out! This is a big guitar driven rocker that starts within itself before bursting into life with a big fists in the air chorus! Sing along, rock along, air-guitar along, the choice is yours! Can't Let Go is some of the album's true surprises and true gems. This is a soft, moody, sultry and moving ballad that sees a new side of the band we love. Yes, the guys have slowed down for ballads before, but this is a wonderfully haunting vocal performance from Dann. As the song builds and intensifies, so does the passion in the delivery. A beautiful soft ballad for sure. Ending the album with a bang, is a cover of the Robert Palmer classic Bad Case Of Loving You. Performed with a real 'live in the studio' feel, the band are at their entertaining and hard rocking best. It's also great to see the late Van Stephenson again involved in the song writing. He co-wrote two tracks on the album.

Rating: 60
Uh.... I was expecting some decentness out of this album... I haven't listened to it more than once, maybe I'm not used to it but I don't know.... I am a HUGE giant fan, they're all I listen to. But this album... The quality sounds terrible so far!! And I'm not listening to it through apple headphones either. I'm listening through Bag Ends, and it's NOTHING special. I think this album so far is NOT that great. Sorry to the lovers of this album... but have you EVER even LISTENED to their old stuff?!?! This stuff doesn't even COMPARE!!
Rating: 85
Some very strong tracks here - "End of the World" is a super ballad with some great meldoic guitar. "Can't let go" angst ridden balladeering - very emotional stuff
"You will be mine" and "over you" - 2 great tracks to set the album off.
But there should have been more - A disappointing finish to the album - 3 tracks short of classic for me.

This album is average and a little disappointment for me. Only 4 or 5 tracks are good, the others are really mediocre. Is this really essential? Sadly, not a bit!

Great CD. These guys are class. Maybe the other two albums are a bit stronger but this is still very good release. Lets hope this is the start of a great comeback!

Great masterpiece, Giant is the best Melodic Band ever!

No big deal,though it's a great CD...Three songs are anthems: Don't leave me in love,you will be mine and can't let go.. A great solo in combustion..A great guitarist,but this isn't a solid offering...
Rating: 80
For an album full of songs that didn't make the cut, this is a far better collection of songs than the majority of current releases.
I finally got my hands on 'III' after long contemplating it, and it was totally worth it. 'You Will Be Mine' kicks my ass! What a song! I had always hoped they would bring something new to the table, even if the major labels weren't interested in MR anymore. The true fans will always find their way.
Rating: 85
Hi from Germany! I must admit i hadn´t heard of Giant until i found this page! So i bought the first two albums which are great, and then only yesterday i got III. Well after listening to the record twice i must say it´s not as good as the previous two, but still good enough to beat almost everything else on the market today. I´m hoping for number 4!!
Rating: 90
Better late than never! The comeback 'till now, much better than the average and overrated Harem Scarem (they get only 60% from me and that's it). A good mix of their previous records. You can hear these guys are all real brilliant musicians. Hope to hear much more from them. After Mecca the best AOR gem of the last months ! BUY !
Rating: 75
I bought this cd right away after seeing the review. I am not a huge fan of giant but have their first 2 cds. Overall this new cd is good but not great!. I think the songs on Time to Burn were much better. These songs have a leftover feel to them. Also I find the comparison to def leppard (any era of def leppard) misleading and not accurate. Sadly def leppard's sound of late 80's early 90's was copied so much and giant does copy it somewhat, but to compare them to that is not a fair comparison.
Overall this cd is good for those who are giant fans or who just want to complete their collection of giant stuff.
Rating: 95
I think those that are giving this cd a score in the 70% area need to go back to their Britney Spears & NSTINC cds !!! This is a knock-down drag out classic, and will be forever remembered by those of us who truly appreciate this type of music. Quality is grade A+, truly a gem. Now all we need is a new album & a tour (Texas awaits Giant)
Rating: 80
Rating: 95
Can you believe that? I'm absolutely blown away by the songs on the comeback album of Giant. It's hard to pick a favorite because ALL were great! As compared to their previous two efforts, I'd rank this one as either a tie with "Time to Burn" or just slightly ahead or behind. If these were brand new recordings rather than previous recordings I would've ranked Giant "III" ahead of Hurricane "Liquifury" and Journey "Arrival" for comeback album of the year.

Awesome comeback album!! Only disappointment was Robert Palmer makeover. Giant - just be yourselves.
Rating: 60
I could not wait to hear this album. The first two are genuinely melodic rocks classics, the publicity and reviews regarding this really had my mouth watering. What a dissapointment. I know this is not strictly a NEW release, but c,mon. I really do object to the sensational review and publicity this CD has received. If we are trying to convert new listeners to our wonderful genre of music, are we not letting ourselves down, by holding up a release such as this one, as the pinnacle of Melodic Rock music. This will not convert anyone, more likely have the cynics lining up to take pot shots at us.
The CD isnt terrible, there are a couple of standout tracks, but the majority of the release is terminally average. It is summed up by the awful cover version at the end of the CD.
Its great to see the band back together again, but I hope that Mr Huff & co can produce an album of the calibre we have come to expect from them in the past.Maybe next time. Any chance Alan Pasqua will join the band again. Dissapointing.!!!!

Good, but NOT Time to Burn ...

A good album but after such a long time it's not a brilliant one. Just a good one that's enough. Please stop overrated this album.
Rating: 90
"III" has moved into my Top Ten List; strangely enough LOTR (...not Lord of the Rings either) and "Time to Burn" reside there as well.
I've read the comments about this being an album of "...leftovers...". How many meals of this quality could have come from leftovers from any other band recording today? Not many I wager.
Easily "You Will Be Mine" is the hands down rocker track on this collection of songs. The riff thumps along at a steady, energetic pace, while Dann's guitar careens along above it like a rollercoaster. "Sky Is the Limit" is cut from the DLR-era VH...a party-hearty rocker ready for the kegger at Dann and David's house next weekend.
"Can't Let Go" is easily one of the most soulful and plaintive broken heart ballads I have ever been priveledged enough to listen to. David Coverdale, move your old ass over, there's a new kid on the block. "Here I Go Again" was my previous pick for "crying-in-my-beer-about-a-love-gone-wrong-song".
Given the current state of music (in America as well as abroad), "III" stands as a new milestone by which guitar-oriented melodic rock MUST be judged; from its soaring solos to the plaintive, passionate vocals, tight drumming and insistent bass. Pray that sales for "III" through Frontiers are strong and continually growing to allow for an American distributor to pick up the rights, and possibly a tour. An album like this from a band as talented Giant could usher in the Second coming of Arena Rock again.
Thanks for your time.
Rating: 90
This album, even above the first two, makes me wonder why Eddie Van Halen isn't knocking down Dann Huff's door and demanding his vocal talents. Heck, with two great guitarists in VH who knows where Van Huff could go?
Rating: 97
I've only just got a copy of this and it has made for a very happy Xmas indeed. Yes, it's leftovers from unreleased tracks. Yes, it's a little outdated. Yes, it's nothing original. But, hell, yes, it's Giant!!!! First 4 tracks are awesome as are the last 3. Middle 3 is a touch weak but I'm sure a few more spins will soon change my mind about that. Giant should've never kept us waiting this long, I hope it won't be too long B4 we see a new record from them. Keep ROCK alive !!! (Is it too much to wish for the new Hardline album, also?)
Rating: 99
Ok, anyone who scored this album lower than a 90...please leave the room! I couldn't believe my eyes were seeing all those crappy reviews. This album is brilliant! It's like tantric sex for the ears! I thought Nirvana killed music as we knew it years ago...Giant proved me wrong with an awesome taste of the sweet life. Definitely ranks up there with Danger Danger's "Cockroach" for 2001. This album is a shot of adrenaline in the arms of those of us who are dying to hear great melodic rock again. Why didn't I give them a "100"? Heck, it will give them something to shoot for on #4!!! Great job guys! Keep 'em coming! :)
Rating: 72
As a die hard GIANT fan, I waited in anticipation for this release. I must say I'm a little disappointed now that I have it. I now understand why most of these songs were left off the previous BRILLIANT albums. The only standouts are the Terry Thomas produced tracks (who also produced RUNAWAYS and TIME TO BURN.) YOU WILL BE MINE is an absolute gem. I can't understand why they chose not to put it on a previous album. Same goes for DON'T LEAVE ME IN LOVE. The problem with the rest of the album is the quality of the songs. Musically (apart from the occasional cheesy keyboards) it is all class. The lyrics on the other hand are sub-standard for a Giant album. Quite often they do not blend well with the music at all! If they had called the album OUTTAKES & LEFTOVERS maybe I wouldn't been so critical. Stamping (III) on the cover is a bit of an embarassment to two of the greatest Melodic Rock albums of all time. Hopefully some new material will return the band to the Pinacle of ROCK!
Rating: 75
This has been a really hyped up release and hopefully the reaction to it will encourage the guys to write a stunning album No4 that we know they are capable of. I'm just pleased they are back together as even this bunch of leftovers is better than what most can aspire to. It is a bunch of (well produced) leftovers though and while (just) good enough to have the name Giant put to it, this CD is lacking in overall quality and tends to drift along in the second half. Ultimately its great to have you back guys and I can't wait for a totally new release. Until that comes around this is OK to wet our appetites.
Rating: 99
Giant shows how us how to rock again (in case anyone forgot) Great voice, great guitar work, and David Huff's playing never sounded so good. a best of 2001 cd. now somebody release it in the US..ppppppleaaaaaze?!?!?

Ok...I've listened to this disc a few more times. What a great CD! Not as hard as the first two but still a classic Giant CD. If you love Giant this is a must have
Rating: 87
It was a great day to finally recieve my Giant III disc all the way from europe(Aren't there any US distributors) Anyway shipping was quick and most of all the disc is not a dissappointment like many previous comments suggested. It showcases a variety of thoughts and ideas that didn't necessarily fit on the previous cd's. I've only listened twice through but "You Will Be Mine" and "Sky is the Limit" are definite great tunes. The intro is nice and the Ballad "Can't Let Go" is a brilliant Masterpiece. The sound and production is great. As with all Giant tunes there are no boring cookie cutter songwritting. Great transitions, cool ideas and a variety of Chords and phrasing something most Rockers could use a few lessons on.Hopefully this release will prompt an all new #4 cd from Giant.
Rating: 89
Excellent by today's standards, average by the yardstick of 10-12 years ago. "Don't Leave Me In Love" is definitely a winner, but I could do without the Robert Palmer cover. Another CD that, while powerful and competent, never quite lives up to the hype.
Rating: 80
Boy did i wait for this one! But i must admit i am a little disappointed...the album seems a little mediocre when compared to the brilliant Last Of The Runaways disc (95/100) which remains in my top ten favourite discs.I can't wait for the brilliant Huff brothers to release a album of new tunes...welcome back guys!
Rating: 100
I am so glad GIANT is back and I hope to stay. I was hooked on their music from the beginning. After "Time to burn" I couldn't wait for the next Cd, but wait I did for 9 years.
I can't begin to tell you how happy I was when I heard GIANT was releasing a 3rd CD. I counted down the days until it arrived. I have a hard time beleving that
these songs are "leftovers". I loved every track on this CD. The thing I love about GIANT's music is the emotion and feeling that goes into their songs. I could feel the the saddness in "I Can't Let Go". I could also feel the extreme
joy in "Oh Yeah". "Its not the end of the world" is just incredible, its the kind of song to listen when you are down. it makes you relize while you feel like you are at the end, that you cant give up on life.
There is so much about GIANT's music that makes it worth while not to mention some of the best guitar work ever :) I listen to the cd all the time, it's that good !
Rating: 0
well..i've waited this one...ok, all the songs are leftovers as we know, but that's what is most fun part of it, 'cause even they are leftovers, these songs are way better than 98% of any band these days..so that's tell me something...oh boy if they just write some new material..that would be something.? don't you think
Rating: 65
I must admit, Andrew turned me on to these guys in a big way. I picked up their first two discs, a Union Sampler with "Don't Leave Me In Love", and the new E.P. That said, I could hardly wait for this to come out. I recently became aware that these tracks were outtakes and leftovers and that about sums this disc up. The opening four tracks are excellent (counting the instrumental). However, what follows is some of the weakest and least inspired material I have heard from any band. End of the World is OK, but everything else is a total miss. Sounds like something you would expect from a direct to cutout bin 80's band that got lost somewhere between Level 42 and Def Leppard. I hope they can put out an album of all new material, soon.
Rating: 100
After 10 long years of waiting finally the third album from GIANT! And it's a great one,thank you guys! Don't let us wait to long for the fourth one. OH YEAH!
Rating: 65
I really can't believe Andrew this a 98% score ! A very average CD from a brilliant band. Sorry but not really worth the wait. Not a bad album, but only a couple of classic Giant songs, the rest are filler tracks. Any chance of some new tracks next time ?
Rating: 100
Rating: 99
Continued from previous.
The Sky Is The Limit is another supercharged rocker before the pace slows again for the soul packed Its not the end of the world. Oh Yeah is a song you save for the anthem category a song that would have fists waving and crowds singing along to that addictive chorus. Then comes the albums piece de risistance (I hope I spelt that right ) in the brilliant emotion filled super ballad Cant Let Go in which we get the very best of the Dan Huff voice....the cover version of the song Bad Case Of Loving You brings down the curtain on a melodic masterpiece...miss this 1 at your peril folks.........Brilliant
Rating: 78
A slight disappointment, but anyway, these are lefover songs, so it´s pretty obvious that they are not on the same level with the 2 previous albums. The sound is, however, magnicifient! Great production and mix. Also, can´t help with the fact that most of Dann´s vocals leave me a bit cold. Fortunately, there are some expectations, such as Don´t Leave Me In Love. Giant would need a bigger label and some real advence royalties to be able to make a real album.
Rating: 99
Great album. Very good sound, great vocals and those guitars! But in the end it's the songs that are just awesome!! Rockin' away to "You will be mine"........
Rating: 99
One of the biggest injustices in this world is that the most of the worlds population has not the faintest idea who Dan Huff is,but thankfully anyone who has the first 2 Giant masterpieces are well aware of who he is..and who is he ?..well I will tell you he is the technically brilliant guitarist who also has a fantastic soulful voice with a range that people like Joe Elliott and any other overrated singer should be jealous of. Giant 3 proves what a great band Giant are ..following the eruptionesque combustion the band charge headlong into You Will be mine a song that has hook after hook and a chorus to die for .next up is Over You which if released by a more fashionable outfit would have the top of the charts in its sights....Dont Leave Me This Way follows and is a super charged ballad, Love Cant Help You Now has riff after riff of the Huff magic,

New Mexico Department of Game and Fish |
DISABLED VETERANS ELIGIBLE FOR NEW, DISCOUNTED HUNTING AND FISHING LICENSE SANTA FE -- Starting July 1, service-connected disabled veterans who are New Mexico residents will be eligible to buy an annual combination fishing and small-game hunting license for $10. The license normally costs $33. The special license was approved by the 2009 New Mexico Legislature and signed by Gov. Bill Richardson. It is available to any New Mexico resident service-connected disabled veteran who presents a "Veteran Administration awards letter," at a Department of Game and Fish office in Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Raton, Las Cruces or Roswell. The letter, available from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, states that a veteran has been granted a disability and that the disability was service-connected. "This is a way for the state of New Mexico to show its appreciation for the sacrifice our service-connected disabled veterans have made for their service to our country," said New Mexico Department of Veterans' Services Cabinet Secretary John M. Garcia. The NMDVS has 17 offices statewide to assist veterans with filing for their service-connected disability claims. The special license does not replace the free general hunting and fishing license currently available to resident veterans who are 100 percent disabled. The $10 fishing and small-game license will be available July 1 and will allow the licensee to fish for all game fish and hunt for squirrel and game birds, other than wild turkey, during the open season for each species. The license will be available only at Department offices this year, but may be available by regular mail in the future. For more information about the special disabled veterans licenses or other New Mexico hunting and fishing licenses, please call (505) 476-8000 or visit www.wildlife.state.nm.us. ### |

Contributing Writer
Many great men and women have fought and lost their lives for our freedom. Most of us are physically free. But have we become liberated or have we allowed the cares of this world to challenge this freedom?
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there's freedom! To attain this type of liberty we must be set free from the inside out. There's a price to be paid. If we are willing to pay the cost, which includes reaching for the lost, the measure of our independence surely will be tested.
The Fourth of July exemplifies our independence, which can be great and at times the greatest. Yet this type of freedom is temporary. Without dependence on God our Heavenly Father, it will take all of us down a crowded and fear-filled lonely road.
I have been going into prisons throughout the state of Ohio as a motivational speaker for more than 10 years. On my 42nd birthday, I wanted to do something unique and give back to those who needed a hope that does not disappoint. I have never been locked up physically, but going to jails and prisons to encourage and inspire hope turned out to be a set up by God. How could I connect with "those" people? Through this experience, I discovered that those people are a lot like many of us: locked up, encaged within our own hearts, minds and souls.
To become effective, it took me going into a physical prison to confront my own mental imprisonment. Prison ministry will always be dear to my heart, for this ministry has assisted in literally setting me free. I will admit that it has taken me years to fight through the baggage from my past, but forgiveness unclogged my heart and filtered my mind to reach for a freedom to serve others in love
To attain authentic freedom, we must confront and get real with ourselves, everyday. This liberty takes responsibility for one's actions and reactions. We know who's our source and supplier. We rest with assurance knowing who we can trust. We also know that real freedom is from the inside out as we all learn to die daily to selfishness.
If our independence is wrapped around becoming selfless and our sole dependence is on God the Father, then we as people of faith are reaching toward being led by the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there's liberty!
Keys to living with hope during the Fourth of July:
Confront and get real ... everyday.
Take responsibility for one's actions and reactions.

[JURIST] The UN-backed Global Migration Group (GMG) [official website] released a report [PDF text; UNFPA report] Friday asserting that nations have a duty to protect the human rights of migrants even while exercising their sovereign power because it increases their ability to contribute to the development of their destination countries. The report is intended to give countries guidance in designing a human rights-based migration policy by providing a comprehensive outline of existing definitions, the international legal framework, and illustrations of the problems faced by various migrant groups. The report is expected to be presented at the Global Forum on Migration and Development [official website] to be held this week in Manila. The UN News Centre has more.Members of the GMG include UN organizations such as the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) [official website] and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) [official website], along with groups like the International Labour Organization (ILO) [official website] and the World Bank [official website].
[JURIST] UN Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment Manfred Nowak [official website; JURIST news archive] said [statement, PDF] Friday that despite numerous international conventions banning torture and other abusive treatment, its use is still widespread around the world. Reporting [press release] to the Third Committee (Social, Humanitarian and Cultural) of the UN General Assembly, Nowak praised the 1948 Universal Declaration on Human Rights, the UN Convention Against Torture [texts] and other global and regional efforts to stem abuse, but said that the agreements alone had failed to improve conditions in numerous countries. Nowak said that the reliance of many criminal justice systems on confessions, combined with the isolation in which suspects are held creates conditions that promote and conceal abusive treatment. He also said that frequently the isolated, harsh conditions in which detainees are held themselves constitute inhuman treatment independent of any physical coercion, and that detainees with disabilities or that are held in solitary confinement are at greatest risk of mistreatment. Summarizing his findings, Nowak said in the statement:
...it is very unclear whether the scale on which torture and other forms of ill-treatment are committed worldwide has actually decreased. Based on my work as UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, including numerous fact finding missions and unannounced visits to places of detention, I unfortunately have observed time and again that detainees are among the most vulnerable and forgotten groups of human beings in most societies, that the general conditions of detention are all too often appalling, constituting themselves cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, and that torture is still a frequent or even standard practice in many countries of todays world.
[JURIST] Judge R. Barclay Surrick of the US District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania [official website] on Friday dismissed [case materials] a lawsuit challenging the citizenship status and eligibility of Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) to become US president. The lawsuit [complaint, PDF], filed by Pennsylvania attorney Philip Berg, had alleged that Obama did not meet the constitutional requirement [LII backgrounder] of being a "natural born" US citizen, arguing that Obama had lost his citizenship as a child when his mother married an Indonesian man, and had failed to reclaim it upon becoming an adult. Berg also alleged that there was insufficient evidence that Obama had been born in the US, and challenged the veracity of his Hawaiian birth certificate [certificate image]. Surrick dismissed the case, finding that Berg lacked standing to bring the suit because he did not face direct harm even if the allegations were true. Berg has said that he plans to appeal [press release] the suit's dismissal. AP has more.A similar court challenge was previously made to the citizenship of Obama's presidential rival, Senator John McCain (R-AZ), arguing [NYT report] that McCain did not qualify as a "natural born" US citizen because he was born at Coco Solo Naval Air Station in the Panama Canal Zone, a military installation outside of US territory. US District Judge William Alsup dismissed that lawsuit [order, PDF] in September for lack of standing.

Most Americans live within minutes of several specialty coffee shops, while our grocery stores carry a plethora of flavorful options as well. The facts are clear: in the United States, coffee consumption is a cultural staple. In fact, even when the recession floored commodity sales nationwide, coffee consumption remained strong. Coffee drinking, as a cultural, business, pleasure and energy-producing activity, is here to stay.The National Coffee Association states that on average, 54 per cent of the American adult population drank coffee beverages daily in 2009. This number is statistically equivalent to the 2008 percentage, while the number of cups drank per-person and per-capita are also on par with levels since 2003, when consumption amounts increased. Thirty per cent of the population drinks coffee occasionally."Consumers still see coffee as an integral part of their everyday lives," said Robert Nelson, President and CEO of the National Coffee Association. "Even if economic conditions cause some to alter their coffee choices, they are nonetheless continuing to enjoy coffee at levels very much on par with recent years."The Association's survey also brought light to an increasingly popular trend: at-home coffee brewing due to movements toward greener, cheaper and anti-establishment alternatives. Eighty-three per cent of consumers reported brewing their previous day's coffee at home. Figures also suggest that consumers in the United States are gravitating towards bringing their at-home brew on their commute more often, while a steady 18 per cent of coffee-drinkers reported getting their coffee fix at work. Fewer Americans are partaking in coffee consumption at restaurants.Coffee consumption in the United States remains at the 8th highest level in the world; today, the average American drinks 3.1 cups of coffee each day. This contributes to the massive $18 billion U.S. coffee market (the global coffee market is worth upwards of $80 billion dollars), an amount that continues to increase with the upsurge of specialty coffee sales. These sales account for 8 per cent of the market and are jumping at an astounding 20 per cent per year. Coffee statistics show that 50 per cent of Americans enjoy cappuccino, espresso, latte, or iced coffees.Here are some more interesting facts and figures about coffee consumption in the United States:• The average coffee cup size is nine ounces.• The average price for an espresso-based drink is $2.45.• The average price for a cup of brewed coffee is $1.38.• 35% of coffee drinkers prefer their coffee black.• 65% of coffee consumption takes place during breakfast hours.• Seattle has 10 times more coffee stores per 100,000 residents than the United States has overall.• The United States imports more than $4 billion dollars of coffee each year.Chicago-based foodservice research and consultant firm Technomic, Inc. estimates that about 20 to 30 per cent of coffee sales are made up of flavored coffees, another trend that is expected to rise throughout the years as young adults from Generation Y continue to enter the work force. The top flavors, in 2007, were chocolate, vanilla, caramel, hazelnut and cinnamon.Whether you like your coffee hot or iced, specialty or regular, with or without cream, you're not alone in rewarding yourself – or just rolling out of bed – with the world's favorite drink.

It is reliably reported (The Times, London) that the McCain camp is expecting a miracle, its expectations rather resembling those of a millenarianist group camping on a hillside awaiting The Second Coming. The anticipated miracle is the shotgun marriage of Sarah Palin's pregnant 17-year old and her 18-year old redneck (his description, not mine) boyfriend (aka, in polite Republican circles, as her "fiancé") coming just in time to save a faltering political campaign.
For those who don't know America well, big white weddings with all the trimmings remain - despite the social and sexual upheavals of the last half century, despite wars and threats of wars - an important part of popular culture... It is by appealing to such boiled-frosting, satin-ribbon fantasies that Republicans hope to push John McCain over the campaign finish line and into the White House. The last week or two of the campaign would be ideal timing, surrounding John McCain and Sarah Palin in a fluffy, sugar-sprinkled haze. Imagine voting against the distinguished-looking old man in a tuxedo on the front pew with the beneficent countenance of a proud grandfather? Or the mother, gowned rather than in mukluks and hunting gear, eyes moist, watching "her baby" march to the alter?
Clearly, this is not matter on which an election anywhere should rest, much less in the world's most powerful country, one staggering through war and financial crisis. Indeed, the Republican campaign, as it well deserves, has faltered on the merits. McCain is a tired old man with a sour temperament and a narcissistic personality who picked as his sidekick a person who would have reached the limits of her talent as captain of a cheerleading squad. Although certainly not the limits of her ambitions, but isn't that what America is about, your reach exceeding your talent? [More]
To woo his cultural, religious base, McCain unleashed his light saber in the guise of a well coiffed, moose hunting pit bull named Sarah Palin. The Vice President candidate, governor of Alaska, came out with fisticuffs and blazing guns, playing the role of aggressive, go get 'em "drill sergeant" as a foil to McCain's persona as the wise, calm but forceful General.
Palin unveiled herself as a fascinating, political Frankenstein. Like the computer-designed woman in the movie Weird Science, she seems to be the perfect wet dream composite as imagined by lustful and passionate right wing, radical Republican teenage boys. She's a salmon fishing, Bible thumping, pistol packing, hockey mom who can hunt a moose, skin it, make a burger out of it for lunch, catch the pastor's Sunday sermon, and also find time to wear a sexy - but not butch - power suit the following day for a press conference. And, according to her drooling, Conservative acolytes, she thankfully doesn't look "lesbian-y" and aggressively intimidating like that alleged man-hating ogre Hillary Clinton. [More]
Last month's Republican National Convention was a cesspool of thinly veiled racist invective aimed at Obama. Sarah Palin, the Republicans' vice presidential candidate, sneered about Obama's history as a community organizer. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani likewise derided Obama for his work "on the South Side of Chicago." A few hours before McCain gave his acceptance speech, Republican bigot Lynn Westmoreland, a member of Congress from the former slave state of Georgia, referred to Michelle and Barack Obama as "uppity"...
The hypocrisy of white Republicans - whose party openly represents the interests of the wealthy and the most conservative wing of American capitalism - calling Obama "uppity" and "elitist" would be funny if their actions weren't helping to legitimize cruder forms of racism that have emerged during the course of this never-ending election. [More]
Since the days of Alexander the Great, binge drinking has been a very popular past time - leading to him apparently killing a friend and burning down Persepolis while drunk.
Those are some Great shoes to fill.
Yet, governments, schools and the media have repeatedly tried to teach us of binge drinking's dangers.
Dartmouth University has taken the lead, instigating a new nationwide policy to curb heavy drinking by their students.
Pour me another glass.
Binge drinking is defined as "the consumption of five or more drinks in a row by men — or four or more drinks in a row by women — at least once in the previous 2 weeks. Heavy binge drinking includes three or more such episodes in 2 weeks."
Seems I don't know anyone who isn't a heavy binge drinker.
Do you think this definition should be changed or should we change people's attitudes? Or should you follow HPD's no fools guide to drinking a lot but not dying?
Is Palin remotely qualified to be president of the United States? No. But that's precisely what is so interesting. McCain not only has thrown all sensible concerns about good governance aside merely to pander to a sliver of female and masses of conservative Christian voters, he has turned this period of American history into an episode of high-stakes reality television: Don't look now, but our cousin Sarah just became leader of the free world! Tune in next week and watch her get sassy with Pakistan!
Americans have an unhealthy desire to see average people promoted to positions of great authority. No one wants an average neurosurgeon or even an average carpenter, but when it comes time to vest a man or woman with more power and responsibility than any person has held in human history, Americans say they want a regular guy, someone just like themselves... This is one of the many points at which narcissism becomes indistinguishable from masochism.
Let me put it plainly: If you want someone just like you to be U.S. president, or even vice president, you deserve whatever dysfunctional society you get. You deserve to be poor, to see the environment despoiled, to watch your children receive a fourth-rate education and to suffer as this country wages - and loses - both necessary and unnecessary wars. McCain has so little respect for the presidency that he is willing to put the girl next door (soon, too, to be a grandma) into office beside him. [More]
My criticism of Palin should not be construed as uncritical acceptance of Obama. Needless to say, I find Obama's religious pandering repulsive. The suspicion that he is pandering, out of obvious necessity, and not quite as religious as he makes out, is somewhat comforting, however. But even if Obama were precisely as religious as he appears, he is not a Creationist, Rapture-Ready blockhead. Palin, by all appearances, seems to be one. This is a difference worth noting. Whatever you may think of his politics, Obama is very intelligent and reasonably well educated. Palin thinks the universe is 6000 years old...
So, let me simply declare that I would be overjoyed to have a qualified woman in the White House. I would, likewise, be overjoyed to have a qualified African American in the White House. In fact, I would be overjoyed to have a qualified WASP man in the White House. I will be guardedly optimistic to have a very smart (and somewhat qualified) Barack Obama in the White House. And I would be frankly terrified to have a religious bumpkin like Sarah Palin in the White House. I think you should share this last conviction.
By my masochistic count, GOP nominee Sen. John McCain, mentioned his 25 years in Congress a mere eight times. He brought up his five years as a Prisoner of War in Vietnam 40 times. It may have been more, it was hard to keep up. "God" and "blessed" were mentioned too many times to count.
And the Republican, who seeks to pick up the neo-Con baton from the GOP criminals currently in the White House, even referred to that woeful prospect as "change is coming" a couple of times.
That's all, folks.
For John Warlover McCain to campaign for the highest office in the land while standing where Dr. King, the preeminent messenger for peace, was shot is hypocrisy of the vilest order and underlines the depths to which this psycho manipulator will travel for opportunity and power. After all, in 1983, McCain voted against creating a Martin Luther King federal holiday. To put it eloquently, John McChicanery sucks.
As the presidential hopeful told the booing crowd at the Lorraine Motel on Friday, "We can all be a little late sometimes in doing the right thing," I wondered how often McCain has been anywhere near early or prompt in doing something other than the wrong thing. I think of the children of Vietnam who were melted beyond recognition by the flip of a switch, controlled by the bomber-pilot McCain.
Many who consider him a hero will say that this status is forever carved in history because when offered release from captivity, he allowed someone who'd been there longer to leave. I disagree vehemently. Certainly, it was decent of McCain to wait his turn, however this act doesn't grant him a lifetime "get outta jail free card". That was then and there have been plenty of occasions between that time and now for him to step up. McCain says he's evolved, but his evolution has an aroma of politics. [More]
The prospects of a Palin administration are far more frightening, in fact, than those of a Palin Institute for Pediatric Neurosurgery. Ask yourself: how has "elitism" become a bad word in American politics? There is simply no other walk of life in which extraordinary talent and rigorous training are denigrated. We want elite pilots to fly our planes, elite troops to undertake our most critical missions, elite athletes to represent us in competition and elite scientists to devote the most productive years of their lives to curing our diseases. And yet, when it comes time to vest people with even greater responsibilities, we consider it a virtue to shun any and all standards of excellence. When it comes to choosing the people whose thoughts and actions will decide the fates of millions, then we suddenly want someone just like us, someone fit to have a beer with, someone down-to-earth — in fact, almost anyone, provided that he or she doesn't seem too intelligent or well educated. [More]
But we all need a little hope in our lives especially when thinking about American politics so I thought I'd report that 9th of September CNN polls in the key "toss-up" states Ohio, Michigan and New Hampshire have all had 2% swings towards Obama/Biden, moving from a 2% gap to a 4+5% gap in Obama's favour. This is despite the first Palin-era poll in Virginia going towards McCain. These 3 positive states are enough, with those states already solidly Democrat, to give the election to Obama, as long as the Supreme Court doesn't intervene and stop the election again. Although Pennsylvania is narrowing Joe Biden comes from the next door state which should help. So there is some hope.
I'm not trying to say Obama will solve America's problems and that this will solve the world's problems – America is not the hope of the world it's just that, if it keeps going the way it's been going, it'll go down and take the whole world down with it. Dave is right to lessen expectations. It will take many years just to avoid disaster. We only hope America can save itself.
The laying of the groundwork must begin today, so that the American people will be prepared for the day when the mirage the Fed has created evaporates completely.
People's Liberation Army (PLA) Major General Luo Yuan, in a commentary published by state-owned website china.org.cn, said China has not abandoned the idea of "war at all costs" to protect its interests.
"'Peaceful rise and 'period of strategic opportunity' preclude war," said Luo, who has been described by Western media as "hawkish" for his ultranationalist views.
"It is incorrect to assume that China will completely rule out military action in any event during this 'period of strategic opportunity,'" he said, referring to Beijing's dispute with Manila.
The novelty? To drive this revolution in an economic framework that will attract investors and governments in entrepreneurial partnerships that feed self-interest while revolutionising outcomes – particularly in relation to carbon.
The blue economy was initially a report to the Club of Rome recommending innovations inspired by science and biometrics. This is a truly cool equation. Science + Economics = A Better Future.

What is more interesting about Apple at the moment is the $100bn in cash reserves it's accrued and what it might use them for.

Pay its suicidal employees more?
Whatever it chooses, we should really stop focussing on Jobs' genius and start thinking about how the wealth his genius created can be spent for good.

Philosophy Weekend: A Society's Self-Regard
A huge realization came to me recently, as I immersed myself in books and old movies about the US Civil War. We all know that the Confederate nation that lost this bitter war was also soundly trounced by the judgement of history, since the Confederacy's key pro-slavery position is clearly on its wrong side.
But the 150 years that have passed since the end of the Southern rebellion might have put a thick patina on the moral arguments that once energized the rebellion, and I made it my goal during my recent bout of Civil War reading to try to understand how a typical well-educated and high-principled Southerner would have explained the Southern position. There were, of course, many thoughtful intellectuals in the Civil War South, and we can take two of the four main characters in Margaret Mitchell's novel Gone With The Wind as useful examples. The noble Ashley Wilkes is a brave Confederate officer who loves books, who loses himself in his vast library, who befuddles Scarlett O'Hara with talk of the Gotterdammerung. His equally noble wife Melanie Hamilton Wilkes relishes the opportunity to discuss literature and morality; we first meet her condemning the British novelist William Makepeace Thackeray for being "a cynic" and "not the gentleman Dickens is".
As a lifelong American Northener, I grew up with a shallow perception of Confederate politics as essentially unprincipled. It's clear today that the Confederate position on slavery was terribly wrong -- but even so, an ethical philosopher who wishes to understand history can't stop there. There's a puzzle to be solved, because even though we see the Confederate position to be wrong today, we must recognize that the Confederacy was populated with principled intellectuals who somehow convinced themselves that it was right. How, exactly, did they convince themselves of this, and what can we learn about our own closely held beliefs from their example?

Television personality Leeza Gibbons first gained national attention as a correspondent for the news show Entertainment Tonight, followed closely by a similar role on Entertainment This Week, a weekly program. She later went on to host her own long-running talk show, Leeza, garnering three Daytime Emmys along the way. When Leeza left the air,
Gibbons signed on with Extra—a spot similar to the one that had launched her career years before. Gibbons headed to prime-time TV in 2007, when she became a celebrity contestant on the reality dance show Dancing with the Stars. In 2011, she returned to the hosting realm with the lifestyle show America Now, joining Bill Rancic as co-host.
Early Years
Born on March 26, 1957, in Hartsville, South Carolina, Leeza Kim Gibbons graduated from the University of South Carolina with a degree in journalism and mass communication. Leeza Gibbons's first television job was as a news anchor on a local news program in Spartanburg, Sout Carolina.
By the early 1980s, she had moved to New York City and was co-hosting Two on the Town at WCBS, whose short life proved to be a blessing in disguise: In 1984, Gibbons's career took off when Entertainment Tonight signed her on as a field correspondent. She proved to be a popular TV personality, and began filling in for Mary Hart on ET's anchor desk, continuing on in this role throughout the 1980s and '90s. Gibbons also co-hosted the weekly news show Entertainment This Week, and continued to gain attention in the entertainment broadcasting arena.
Acclaimed Talk Show Host
In the 1990s, Gibbons began co-hosting John and Leeza with former Entertainment Tonight co-host John Tesh, but after just one season, Tesh left the show, and Gibbons had the hosting duties to herself for the remainder of the series. She soon switched gears to begin hosting her own daily talk show, simply titled Leeza, which aired for the first time in January 1994. The television lineup was cluttered with talk shows at the time, but Leeza took the high road, leaving out the brawls and madness of such shows as The Jerry Springer Show and Geraldo, and focusing chiefly on women's issues.
The show became a success, and Gibbons became the executive producer, steering the program until it came to a close in 2000. By the time it went off the air, Leeza had been nominated for 27 Daytime Emmys—including for outstanding talk show and outstanding talk show host—and won three. Gibbons also earned a Hollywood Walk of Fame star during this period.
Other Projects
Post-Leeza, Gibbons served as anchor for the entertainment news program Extra from 2000 to 2002, and has been co-hosting America Now with Bill Rancic since late 2010. She also made an appearance as a celebrity contestant on the reality show Dancing with the Stars in 2007.
Outside of TV, Gibbons has been hosting and producing the nationally syndicated radio program Hollywood Confidential since 1995. She also formed Leeza Gibbons Enterprises and the Leeza Gibbons Memory Foundation, which provides, according to her website, "free services for family caregivers who are caring for someone they love who is sick or dying." Additionally, she serves on the CIRM Stem Cell Board in California.

We liked the addition of pesto sauce. I used 1 1/2 pounds of ground beef and one hot sausage link. I only used 1/2 of the amount of the cheeses. It filled 18 shells.
Reviewed Jan. 18, 2014
Loved this! I prepared it on Sunday so we could just throw it in the oven after work on Monday. It was wonderful and it goes in my Favorites!
Reviewed Jan. 14, 2014
The family loved it. I thought it was ok. It was versatile enough to make a few with the meat sauce only, no cheese, so that my daughter who can't eat a lot of chese could enjoy them as well. I probably would make again since they were easy and my family liked them so much.
Reviewed Oct. 12, 2012
Very good. Takes time to make but worth it.
Reviewed Dec. 10, 2011
Made 15 shells. Not 20 and they were filled to the top but not rounded. Good flavor but too much cheese for my taste.

Smart Groups
I may be missing something here, but can't you use a smart group to pick up all of the contacts that have changed in the last day?
Smart Groups
Dear Mac-savvy colleagues:
You are so totally right that smart groups can do this and more -- thank you for pointing this out to me. I will now just consider it another learning step in AppleScript ;-) As to robleach's question "I'm curious about these "limitations": - limited export capabilities - no list view which can be sorted by any criterion - not possible to add fully custom fields. I smuggle them in as custom "spouse" or whatever (yes one can rename them, but they must fit into the general framework available for the template). For instance, sometimes I like flags (e.g., who gets our family chronicle), or the bank account and more. I would appreciate being proved wrong on this too ;-). Thank you, best, Michael.
Smart Groups
Smart Groups
I agree. Using smart groups is probably the tool to solve that issue. Generally, there are usually ways to do what you want to do that you may not be familiar with. The nice thing is that once you learn it for address book, you'll learn it for other apps at the same time because most everything is designed using the same organizational and functional concepts. However, I agree, more export options would be nice. I'd like to generate a tab-delimited file. I've done this before, but using some perl hacking. However, one tip to discover more hidden "export" options is to hit print, which allows you to "export" to PDF. The format is somewhat customizable.
Smart Groups
Appreciate the effort- I too recently made the switch from Now Contact to Address Book and have been trying to figure out work-arounds to deal with Address Book's limitations. I figured out this particular problem using a Smart Group as mentioned, but the one that still vexes me is how to add extra fields and field labels. This hint is promising (http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20051221232010333), but I'm paranoid that any changes I make won't survive an Address Book.app update, especially this close to the release of OS 10.6. Anyone have any clues on the state of Address Book development?
