Full "Wonderland" Interview Reveals Ron/Hermione Shippers Can RelaxNews
The full text of the Wonderland issue that caused a Ron/Hermione vs. Harry/Hermione shipping riot this week is now out, and rumors of the death of the canon pairing have been greatly exaggerated. J.K. Rowling repeats previously made comments that there are certain characteristics between Harry and Hermione that may have them better suited, but does not indicate a wish to pair them off or any regret over how she wrote the books. Emma Watson and J.K. Rowling simply discuss the hypothetical post-Hogwarts world and what Ron and Hermione's relationship might have looked like.
I thought we should discuss Hermione... I'm sure you've heard this a million times but now that you have written the books, do you have a new perspective on how you relate to Hermione and the relationship you have with her or had with her?
I know that Hermione is incredibly recognisable to a lot of readers and yet you don't see a lot of Hermiones in film or on TV except to be laughed at. I mean that the intense, clever, in some ways not terribly self-aware, girl is rarely the heroine and I really wanted her to be the heroine. She is part of me, although she is not wholly me. I think that is how I might have appeared to people when I was younger, but that is not really how I was inside. What I will say is that I wrote the Hermione/Ron relationship as a form of wish fulfillment. That's how it was conceived, really. For reasons that have very little to do with literature and far more to do with me clinging to the plot as I first imagined it, Hermione with Ron.
I know, I'm sorry, I can hear the rage and fury it might cause some fans, but if I'm absolutely honest, distance has given me perspective on that. It was a choice I made for very personal reasons, not for reasons of credibility. Am I breaking people's hearts by saying this? I hope not.
I don't know. I think there are fans out there who know that too and who wonder whether Ron would have really been able to make her happy.
Yes exactly.
And vice versa. It was a young relationship. I think the attraction itself is plausible but the combative side of it... I'm not sure you could have got over that in an adult relationship, there was too much fundamental incompatibility. I can't believe we are saying all of this – this is Potter heresy!
I know, it is heresy.
In some ways Hermione and Harry are a better fit and I'll tell you something very strange. When I wrote Hallows, I felt this quite strongly when I had Hermione and Harry together in the tent! I hadn't told [Steve] Kloves that and when he wrote the script he felt exactly the same thing at exactly the same point.
That is just so interesting because when I was doing the scene I said to David [Heyman]: "This isn't in the book, she didn't write this". I'm not sure I am comfortable insinuating something however subtle it is!
Yes, but David and Steve – they felt what I felt when writing it. That is so strange. And actually I liked that scene in the film, because it was articulating something I hadn't said but I had felt. I really liked it and I thought that it was right. I think you do feel the ghost of what could have been in that scene.
It's a really haunting scene. It's funny because it really divided people. Some people loved that scene and some people really didn't.
Yes, some people utterly hated it. But that is true of so many really good scenes in books and films; they evoke that strong positive/negative feeling. I was fine with it, I liked it. ... Oh, maybe she and Ron will be alright with a bit of counseling, you know. I wonder what happens at wizard marriage counseling? They'll probably be fine. He needs to work on his self-esteem issues and she needs to work on being a little less critical.
I think it makes sense to me that Ron would make friends with the most famous wizard in the school because I think life presents to you over and over again your biggest and most painful fear – until you conquer it. It just keeps coming up. T
hat is so true, it has happened in my own life. The issue keeps coming up because you are drawn to it and you are putting yourself in front of it all the time. At a certain point you have to choose what to do about it and sometimes conquering it is choosing to say: I don't want that anymore, I'm going to stop walking up to you because there is nothing there for me. But yes, you're so right, that's very insightful! Ron's used to playing second fiddle. I think that's a comfortable role for him, but at a certain point he has to be his own man, doesn't he?
Yes and until he does it is unresolved. It is unfinished business. So maybe life presented this to him enough times until he had to make a choice and become the man that Hermione needs.
Just like her creator, she has a real weakness for a funny man. These uptight girls, they do like them funny. They do like them funny, they need them funny. It's such a relief from being so intense yourself – you need someone who takes life, or appears to take life, a little more light heartedly.

Tuesday's UEFA Champions League semifinal featured some straightfoward team selections. Bayern Munich made one big change against Real Madrid, taking out Thomas Müller, but the majority of both lineups and both teams' shapes were set well in advance. On Wednesday, a completely different kind of match is expected to unfold. Pep Guardiola and Roberto Di Matteo might have gone to bed on Tuesday night still unsure about the players and formation they were going to select.
They at least know where their sides stand. Both teams have huge must-win domestic clashes on Saturday and have to keep player fitness in mind. David Luiz is injured for Chelsea, while Barcelona are still dealing with the effects of Eric Abidal's absence from the team. Neither side will have their first-choice back line when all players currently under contract are fit, which should make for a fun match.
Guardiola could opt for a three- or four-man back line, and he could opt to start either Carles Puyol or Adriano at left back. Who knows which one of Cesc Fabregas, Pedro Rodríguez or Thiago Alcântara will start the match. Guardiola has an embarrassment of riches at his disposal.
Di Matteo also has tough decisions to make and plenty of options for his team, though he doesn't have the luxury of benching a player like Fabregas. Salomon Kalou has performed well since Di Matteo took over the team, and Ramires' move to the right-wing spot that he played for Benfica has paid off as well. Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba are virtual locks to start due to experience and their likely desire for "revenge" against Barcelona for their Champions League loss three years ago, while Ramires and Juan Mata are in excellent form. The other front six spots are up for grabs, with Kalou and John Obi Mikel good bets to fill out the team.
Projected Chelsea Lineup (4-2-3-1): Petr Cech; Ashley Cole, John Terry, Gary Cahill, Branislav Ivanovic; John Obi Mikel, Frank Lampard; Salomon Kalou, Juan Mata, Ramires; Didier Drogba
Projected Barcelona Lineup (4-3-3): Victor Valdés; Carles Puyol, Gerard Pique, Javier Mascherano, Daniel Alves; Sergio Busquets, Xavi Hernández, Andrés Iniesta; Cesc Fabregas, Lionel Messi, Alexis Sánchez
Game Date/Time: Wednesday, April 18, 2:45 p.m. ET, 7:45 p.m. local
Venue: Stamford Bridge, London, England
TV: FX (U.S. - English), FOX Deportes (U.S. - Spanish), Sportsnet regional networks (Canada), ITV 1 (U.K.)
We'll have continuous pre-game updates and live game coverage in our Chelsea vs. Barcelona, UEFA Champions League Semifinals StoryStream. For more on the two teams, head over to Chelsea FC blog We Ain't Got No History and FC Barcelona blog Barca Blaugranes.

Start a little left of the first bolt and a somewhat bouldery start leads up and right to the first bolt. Continue on the right on large holds on a somewhat hollow sounding flake. Once atop the ledge walk to the left, clip a bolt and then continue to the top working back to the right. A direct finish is also possible (5.11a) by continuing straight up from the ledge. Fun and varied climbing.
Approximately 9 feet right of the Cyclops.
7 bolts and a two bolt anchor. Please use your own gear for top rope. Bring a long sling and extend the 4th bolt to avoid rope drag.a crash pad is not a bad idea here.

Looking for Convention/Event management software/script
I'm looking for a web-based convention management script for a recurring convention.
Preferred language: PHP/mySQL - but I'm willing to look at others.
If it looks like we need to get this custom built, well, where do we start? And what sort of price would we expect?
These are the requirements:

I'm mainly developing website using Joomla CMS and I've been using JEvents and Event Registration Pro components and I think, these are the one you can choose one from... You've to do some customizations in it as per your requirements but I think, they cover most of the functionality that you're looking for... So if you are open to use Joomla, we will suggest you look at them.Best Joomla Web Design and Development Agency :- -:

Ainsworth: I'm not worried by the league table
7:51pm Saturday 8th February 2014 in Latest Sport By Andy Carswell, Reporter
GARETH Ainsworth urged fans not to be too concerned at the league table as Wanderers settled for a point in what the Blues boss called a 'horrible game' against Accrington Stanley.
Blues are just above the League Two relegation zone thanks to the point gained in this afternoon's snoozefest, which saw just one shot on target in the 90 minutes.
Ainsworth said with so many teams packed so closely together in the table the current position isn't a massive worry – despite Wanderers having now failed to score a goal in their last five home games and having picked up ten points from the last 51 available.
He said he is now targeting small steps for his side, starting with being more clinical around the box.
Reece Styche was the only player from either side to manage an on target shot but in truth the supply line to the forwards, particularly at set pieces, was severely lacking.
Ainsworth said: "I've told everyone to watch Match of the Day and see how the Premier League boys do it, how they break teams round the edge of their box and believe we can do that because I think we can. It's that final ball, that final clinical ruthless thing we need to win games.
"I thought we were poor at set plays today. We could have done better at set plays, and the clinical little touches.
"I want to be beating teams like Accrington at home, but after the run we've been on it's small steps. It's the first clean sheet we've had for a while, we've got to build on that. We haven't been beaten – again, build on that. We've crossed one of our targets off, to get to 30 points. They wanted to get to 30 points and then kick on.
"Looking at the league there's nine points between eighth and relegation – it's crazy. It's a very tight league and I don't want anyone worrying too much about the table at the moment.
"It was a horrible game, not a nice game, but we haven't lost, we got a clean sheet – we've got things to build from."
Ainsworth also felt his side should have been given a potentially matchwinning penalty towards the end when Matt Bloomfield appeared to be fouled as he burst into the area.
Referee Steve Bratt's decisions ensured a stop/start game and having previously awarded fouls for very little throughout the game fans were expecting him to point to the spot.
Ainsworth said: "I'm not going to talk about referees any more this season unless something horrendous happens. I thought it was a penalty."
But he then added: "The referee stopped the game a lot today and he didn't let the game flow, which is important for our game. We didn't get our tempo going because of those reasons."

PEORIA, Ill. -- The delayed re-opening of the Carver Community Center will be the subject of a public forum Thursday hosted by the NAACP.
The meeting will take place at 6:30 pm in the Frank Campbell Community Room at Riverwest.
The association is demanding the Carver Center Board step down and allow former interim Director Ken Hinton to return.
Hinton and his design team resigned abruptly, citing communication problems with the board.
The board president and vice president told us last month they are willing to have Hinton return,but said the center is larger than one person.

It's a big year for milestone anniversaries. ESTA is celebrating its 20th year. Pook, Diemont & Ohl is celebrating its 25th. Barbizon is celebrating its 60th. Oddly enough, it's even the 30th anniversary of Elvis' death. Congrats to them all, except Elvis, I guess.
We're celebrating some milestones too, as you may have noticed. It might seem kind of odd, putting together a big anniversary issue and generating a lot of fanfare for a magazine that's not even two years old. But it's not like we're actually celebrating the 22nd issue of Live Design here, folks. What we're actually celebrating are the birthdays of three key franchises within the entertainment technology community: the 20th year of the LDI show, the 30th year of Lighting Dimensions magazine, and the 40th year of the debut of Theatre Crafts magazine, the book that essentially started it all.
These are important milestones, not only in our history, but also, I would argue, in the history of entertainment technology. All three franchises have helped shape the way countless generations of designers, technicians, dealers, and manufacturers do business.
Think about it. In the 20 years since that first LDI in Dallas, think about how many seminal new lighting, audio, and staging products made their debut on the show floor? Think about how many lasting relationships were forged. Think about how much your business has grown. Think about how many Rose Brand parties you've attended.
In the 30 years since the first issue of Lighting Dimensions was published, think about how much you learned from contributors like Lee Watson, Beeb Salzer, and Karl Ruling. Think about reading an article about a new film or architectural project and discovering that the challenges LDs in other disciplines had were really not so different from your own. Think about all of those wacky LD logos over the years.
In the 40 years since Theatre Crafts first hit the newsstands — well, there's a lot to think about. Where to begin? Nearly all designers and technicians of a certain age will tell you that they first realized there was an entire world of people just like them by poring through the pages of Theatre Crafts, Theatre Crafts International, and Entertainment Design. If theatre is the wellspring of all modern design, then this publication, in all its various sizes and incarnations, was the pipeline.
To help celebrate these various milestones, we asked readers both how they got their start in the industry, and — perhaps most important — where they think it's headed; you can read their responses throughout this entire anniversary section. And since it was my bright idea to kick off this celebration, I figured I should throw in my two cents as well. I'm not going to bore you with the history of how I got here, except to say that I was initially hired by Pat MacKay — perhaps the single most powerful force of nature in this industry during its formative years in the 80s and 90s — as a business editor for TCI and LD back in 1993. For those counting, that puts me at the 14-year mark. I just shuddered when I wrote that.
Where is the industry heading? I know we've been beating the drum of convergence around here since we introduced Live Design; that continues unabated. Beyond that change, I think a lot of people are going to have to learn how to do things differently in the coming years, not just designers and technicians, but especially dealers and manufacturers. New technology will drive some of that, pushing creative boundaries will as well, but I think the biggest changes will come about from the way we all do business. This is an intensely creative industry, and I think it's vital that businesses in this market hold on to those artistic roots, while also getting smarter about how we produce, market, sell, and service. To paraphrase Jonathan Resnick in his Q&A on page 30, you don't necessarily need MBAs, but you can think like one.
We, as a publishing entity, have to do things differently too. The idea of people getting all of their information solely from a magazine is long gone. Websites, enewsletters, blogs, Podcasts, live events — these are all the ways in which information is now being disseminated in the 21st century. And while I will always love the look and feel of a magazine, it's clear to me that this is only a part of the puzzle. We have to be sure to give you, as a reader, a variety of sources for your information.
But is all this change so bad? Part of me — okay, a large part of me — would really love it if things could just stay as they are. But I realize this is unrealistic. And I suppose there's still a little bit of that lunatic teenager in me who secretly thrives on the palm-sweating thrill of flying blind. And considering the industry we're talking about here, something tells me there's at least a little bit of that in you, too. So I suspect we'll all be ready for the changes, whether they happen 20, 30, or 40 years down the road. Cheers.

Tucsonans took to the streets of downtown Tucson for Cinco de Mayor weekend celebrations. At the same time... law enforcement is out in full force keeping the streets safe.
About 50 extra officers are scattered throughout the city looking for drunk drivers. Saturday night, they focused much of their efforts on the southside because of a concert.
As of 9 p.m., Pima County Sheriff's Deputies had stopped four people for driving under the influence.
If you're going to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with a few drinks, your best bet is to get a designated driver or call a cab.
Taxi services in Tucson say the night is already picking up.
"A ten fold at least. It's just a massive amount of people," said cab driver, Nathan Wilson.
"It's better than drinking and driving unless you want to pay $3,000 on a DUI," said cab driver Daniel Figueroa. "You're better taking a taxi, getting home safe and picking up your car in the morning."

Okay, who's the new schmohawk that Grey's touting now? It's Chris Davis, the Rangers hot prospect. There's lots of things to like about Chris Davis. In the last 162 games, he's hit .327 and 49 home runs. Zoinks! The only thing that's standing in Chris Davis's way of playing time is Hank Blalock's health.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Chipper Jones says he thinks he injured himself while running out of the batter's box. For a baseball player, this seems like a pretty innocuous place to injure themselves. How exactly do you get injured coming out of a batter's box?Please, blog, may I have some more?
Down goes moobs! Down goes moobs! Ah, to be a fantasy baseball newsie… Or a Howard Cosell porncaster… Well, I can't say it was completely surprising that the Royals sent Billy Butler down to their other Triple-A team. I suppose they could've sent down the whole team.Please, blog, may I have some more?
As Sean Connery says, "Shituation: Dire." Rios has been the pea under your mattress. The splinter in your paw. The tighty-whitey stain that your fourth grade classmates saw when you were changing for gym and have teased you about for the rest of your life (but maybe that was just me).Please, blog, may I have some more?
To protest a trade or not? Hmmm… How about, do you have a vagina or not? I keed. I've protested trades in the past, but I'm a convert. Now I believe everyone is entitled to manage their teams any way they'd like.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Frankly, I don't want to waste too much space with this topic. I told readers since January to avoid Granderson and as recently as two weeks ago that you can get greater safety and value with Abreu. I'm not claiming to be Nostra-dumbass and saying I saw Grandy about to be beaned by some crap Phillie pitcher (and, besides Hamels and Myers, they're all crap).Please, blog, may I have some more?
(NOTE FROM GREY: Last week I sent out feelers to the top baseball team blogs to see if they would be generous enough to write a quick preview for their favorite team. So over the course of the next two weeks, mixed in with your daily fantasy info, you will get some of the most astute, in-depth coverage of teams around the major leagues for the upcoming 2008 season from the people that know these teams best.Please, blog, may I have some more?

you need a car to get to the nightlife or know someone who drives
Off-Campus Housing:
Houses tend to be run down but cheap.
Off-Campus Dining:
Good, cheap food all around. Better and cheaper than college food.
Overall Experience:
Poor quality dorms for the endowment size. 10th highest endowment per capita in the U.S. yet wont pay for livable dorms.
Students do participate in sports and intramural but it is not a big part of campus life.
Off-Campus Dining:
There aren't many choices for off campus dining. Students can go to few fast food restaurants and some chain restaurants, however they still feel that there should be better options.
Students are provided with great resources and opportunities on campus. Professors are always there to help and students can go to other members of the Grinnell community for academic guidance.
Shuttles only run around breaks, so you usually have to find a friend to drive you, which is fairly inconvenient. But rarely do you need to go somewhere outside of Grinnell.
Being a Division III school, Grinnell has a very inclusive athletic program for anyone wishing to participate, but overall the campus has struggled in the past with a divide between athletes and non-athletes. That stigma has really been improving over the years, but as a result of that past problem, the teams are very tight knit, which I really appreciate. Athletic facilities at Grinnell are amazing, very updated, and nationally recognized, for example, the Indoor track is hosting 2016 Division III nationals, which is usually hosted by larger schools. It would be nicer if the general school population were more into sports and attendance and interest was higher, but friends and professors are very supportive of my athletics, like with any other student and their respective interests.
The school does a fairly good job providing tech support, especially since there aren't many other options for tech help. The school is equipped with a number of computer labs in each building, but almost all students bring personal computers.
Local Atmosphere:
Grinnell, while very isolated and small, gives you a lot of true Midwest small town charm. There isn't a ton going on, but the town is accessible, cheap, and the college gives it a bit of life. Some local attractions will offer student discounts, or alumni will generously pay for free admission to the pool or movies. Enough happens on campus though, so going off campus for a meal or a movie will happen monthly on average.
Off-Campus Dining:
Aside from fast-food, Grinnell is fairly limited in terms of the number of options, but has fairly quality restaurants. Some good restaurants include Prairie Canary, Chuong Garden, Relish, Pagliai's, all of which have good food at decent prices.
While it may seem like nightlife revolves solely around partying, there are endless things to do on weekends out in the cornfields. Virtually everyone stays on campus on the weekends, and a typical weekend's offerings will include one or two activities held by Weekend, the really fun sub-free group on campus, a Harris party once every three weeks, a handful of off-campus parties, or simply hanging out with friends in someone's dorm room and watching a movie.
Campus Dining:
Food at Grinnell is generally pretty good. Despite there only being one dining hall, they work hard to bring variety to the meals, and you can always find something you want to eat. In addition, having one dining hall really helps campus community, as the Dhall serves as a very central, joining place for Grinnell. There are two or three other on campus options, but i usually stick to the dining hall for meals.
Guys & Girls:
Students coming to Grinnell expecting the large university caliber looks will likely be disappointed, but in retrospect will find Grinnell students with very attractive and fun to be around personalities. Grinnell students are usually very casual, wearing what they want, doing what they want, which makes many students down to earth. In general, there is a bit of a clash between the hookup culture and those interested in pursuing long-term relationships, which makes the dating scene a little crazy, in addition to the school being a small campus. But in my opinion, the guys and girls being less about looks and more about personality helps students foster long-term relationships.
Health & Safety:
In general I feel very safe on campus, and the majority of students feel the same way. Students at Grinnell are very trusting of each other, and are not afraid to leave their doors unlocked or walk around alone at night. There have been a few incidents with items being stolen, but like many other aspects of life at Grinnell, students are very bought into Self-governance. The campus does need more blue-light security posts, as even though campus is small, there are only three or four currently around campus in rather obscure locations.
Campus Strictness:
School is not very strict--self gov.
Drug Safety:
Alcohol is a huge problem here. There are hospitalizations every year. I believe it is a result of the stressful workload and lack of healthy social events. People work really hard during the week and only get Saturday night off so people let loose.
It's a liberal arts college so all the majors are pretty broad. You can create your own major if you're unsatisfied but it's fairly uncommon.
BioChem is a lot of work but Grinnell provides ample support so that anyone can succeed if they apply themselves.
Diversity is pretty good for a school in the middle of Iowa.
You can walk to everywhere in Grinnell.
Campus Housing:
If you want clean and quiet but no floor community live on east. If you want old and dirty with a floor community live in north or south.
It's cold from October/November to late April. Winter is cold and dark :(
Local Atmosphere:
It's a quiet town but you won't notice that because you'll be so busy working you'll have no time to adventure out.(depends on major)

A vast majority of students loves Grinnell. They love the challenge they get from their academics and their peers, and they love the amount of freedom that the administration gives them (mostly through self-governance). Some students would say that they learn more from discussions amongst peers than classes. Grinnell students are free to learn and grow into responsible, conscientious adults, and the students are thankful that the school they've chosen gives them the opportunity to thrive. Some students can't even imagine what it would be like if they'd ended up somewhere else.
Yeah, Grinnell students complain sometimes about the things that aren't available to them that would be at their disposal at a larger, city school. They gripe about excess construction, bogus administration policies, and the things that fellow Grinnellians do that just plain bug everyone. Overall, though, most of the students are happy with the decisions they've made and the direction they're going in their lives. A lot of students have the Grinnell faculty, students, and townspeople to thank for that. Although living in rural Iowa does take some getting used to (especially if you're from out of state), most students don't mind making Grinnell their home for four years. Despite the schizophrenic weather, lackluster athletic program, and the immature townies, many students have taken comfort in the fact that it's "just us" amongst the cornstalks. When a Grinnell graduate thinks back upon his or her Grinnell experience and all the fond memories that come along with it, everything else seems like small potatoes.

Women's golf opens its fall season at the Great Smokies Intercollegiate
When the JU women's golf team begins its season on Monday at the Great Smokies Intercollegiate, there will be plenty of new faces in the lineup.
But the one constant is senior Morgan Jackson, who begins her final year as the Dolphins No.1 player after an impressive junior season.
"Morgan made a lot of progress last season," said JU head coach Mike Blackburn. "I was pleased with her performance and the steady improvement she made throughout the year."
Being the most experienced player on a young team, the Dolphins will be leaning on Jackson more this season.
"With a young team like we have this year, we're leaning on Morgan a lot from her experience and leadership," Blackburn said.
Joining Jackson in the lineup for the season opening event will be fellow senior Alison Cornell, junior transfer Gaia Olcese and fresmen Jessica Welch and Natalie Schmett.
"I'm looking forward to seeing this group on the course in tournament play," Blackburn said. "We've had some good rounds in qualifying and this will be a great opportunity to see where we are."
The first round is scheduled for Monday morning with the final round set for Tuesday.

Transcribed from notes dated W, 25 Nov 2009.
There are those cities where I become locked into a routine and New York is one of them. This particular trip had me staying at a youth hostel just above Central Park in Harlem and I was open to new adventures. BeerFly put me onto this place and I felt it fitting since my students and I had recently begun my annual War Unit and in WWI, the Alsace-Lorraine region was hotly contested.
I love corner locations and this place was no exception! It was on the southwest corner of 2nd Avenue at 88th Street and a short fence surrounded it for outdoor seating (although there were no takers on Thanksgiving Eve). The entry was in the middle of the building along 2nd Avenue with an angular entryway that led to the m.d.s. on the immediate right. Tables and chairs lined the windows which could be opened accordian-style as doorways to the patio in better weather. An upholstered bench fronted by tables and chairs ran along the back wall. More tables and chairs plus booth seating filled in the center of the space with the kitchen in the rear, off to the left. There was lots of vintage signage throughout.
The "J"-shaped, aluminum-topped bar ran along the 88th Street wall and was set up for five taps, although they only had Kronenburg 1664, Newcastle Brown and Kira on my visit. The staff pointed me to the bar upon arrival (how did they know?) and I had the Croque Madame (Croque Monsieur with an egg over easy on top). The bread was as crusty and chewy as in any French bistro I had ever been in. I truly felt like my last visit to France in December 2001! The waitstaff was quiet, unobtrusive, perfect!
Beer: Along with the taps, they had an impressive selection of eighty-five (85) bottles. The French may have reclaimed the Alsace region, but the focus was l'Allemagne, la Belgique, et l'American (German, Belgian, and American) in terms of their beer. It ranged from Stella Artois to Duvel, Maredsous 8, and St. Bernardus 12 to the available Trappist beers to a heavy dose of German Helles and Dunkel lagers to a bunch of lambics, including Boon Gueuze and Chapeau Banana.

Great little place on the Upper East Side. Selection of 5 taps with a beer sommelier in residence. The selection included a Saison on tap made for them from Harpoon. The food is an infusion of German and French from the Alsace region.
Food came on time and was excellent. The ambiance is of a small cafe that could have been in Europe as easily as NY. Clientele was upscale and friendly. I'll definitely go back.
The bottled beer selection was impressive. Rochefort 10 caught my eye, but several glasses of the Saison took up my time.

A lot has been said already about the quality selection of the draft beers (5 taps), and the beers in bottle. The food is quite good as well, as is the service. In my book, this place is top notch. That said, let me talk about the atmosphere a bit.
I love the bistro / brasserie feel of it... the clanking of the dishes, the bustling traffic of the servers around you, the swirling yet semi-muffled conversations and occasional stand out laughs or guffaws... and the smell of coffee and food. Ahhh, it's beautiful!
But the room is also beautiful. It's done in the Vienese style with a Parisian aesthetic - pre-deco with a modernist feel. It has a coved ceiling of continuous curved lines, and odd-looking ceiling lamps. There's a display of colored glass seltzer bottles above the bar, and old advertising signs on the walls. At the bar, it's a zinc bartop with a really space-age, jet-like tap tower in the center, and a multi-colored patterned tile floor beneath. Really nicely done.
As for the food, it's kind of complicated. Let me just list a few interesting dinner items...
French Onion Soup $8.50
Duck Confit & Shitake Ravioli $17.50
Moules Frites $17.50
Bouillabaisse $27.50
Cheese plate 3/$12 5/$17.50
Pan Seared Diver Scallops $24.95
Certainly worth a try, even if just for beers on a Sunday afternoon.

First, remember that this is a French restaurant first. If you keep that in mind, it is all the more satisfying that this place has an awesome selection of beer (and this on top of their great selection of wine!)
Really nice atmosphere--outdoor seating when it's nice. Indoor has plenty of light from the open feel and windowed walls. Nice bar.
The beer was well-kept and cared for; the servers knew what they were talking about too.
About a half-dozen taps of good beer (i.e. NOT Coors or Bud, etc.) and at least 50 bottled varieties from around the world grouped by style. No bad beer (i.e Coors, Bud, etc.).
The food is very good and the place is consistent. They cook a mean fish dish.
The place is not cheap but the it is worth the price. Overall, good place.

Went here tonight for dinner and I really enjoyed it. Bearadvocate gave a pretty good assessment of the beer lineup. It is very strong on Belgians and biere de garde, including some selections I haven't come across very frequently in the states (e.g. La Bavasienne (sp?)). You won't find any hop monsters - or many US micros for that matter - but that's ok, the beer menu contains lots of beers that pair WONDERFULLY with the menu. The tap selection could be improved - too reliant on InBev - though the Hacker-Pschorr Dukelweisse and the Weltenburger Asam Bock are nice touches. Overall, its very hard to critique the list, given the cuisine its meant to accompany.
The food was excellent. The choucroute garni was the best I've had (including many a weinstub meal in Alsace). The pork belly was incredible - it melted in my mouth and went straight to my aorta. The Braeckoffe - succulent pieces of lamb, oxtail, and bacon, floatin in a herby wine broth - was hearty and delicious.
I must also add a note about the service. I ordered a Trois Monts Reserve. After the waitress poured it, I tasted it and she asked me how it was. It tasted moderately oxidized to me, and I said so. (I'm tend to be very sensitive to oxidation and knew I wouldn't enjoy the bottle). The waitress brought it to the sommellier. He came out and said that what I was tasting was how the beer should taste (I'm not sure I agreed with this assessment, but, like I said, I am very sensitive to oxidation), but if I did not enjoy it, he'd be happy to bring another bottle. He was very eager to bring us a beer that we liked. I really appreciated that. More generally, I found that our waitress knew her way around the beer menu pretty well.
I'll be going back...

From the Otsego Heraldfor Saturday, May 15, 1813
Compiled, with comments
by HUGH C. MacDOUGALL
British Raid Havre de Grace
Havre de Grace, May 3. "This morning, a little after the break of day, a British armed force, under cover of armed vessels which anchored in front of this town ... landed below a small breast work which had been roughly thrown up, and in which were one 9 and two 4 pounders, manned by 50 militia.
"The vessels in front of the town threw three Congreve rockets, one of which passed through a frame house without further damage; another struck a Mr. Webster on the left side of his head, and killed him on the spot; the attack was a surprise, and there was neither an organized resistance nor defence. About six o'clock, a few of the militia, who had occupied the small redout, evacuated it & abandoned the town; the enemy possessed itself of the 9 pounder and two four pounders, & afterwards proceeded with torches and other combustibles prepared for the purpose, to conflagrate several of the houses.
"The two taverns and thirteen houses were burnt to the ground, two stables and several stacks of hay were also burnt; they plundered all the inhabitants whom they found, women and children indiscriminately, ripping open feather beds and throwing the feathers to the winds, and taking with them the ticking; women and children's clothes were also taken from their persons; they burnt every vessel here except one which lay sunk on the east side of the Susquehanna.
"In the afternoon, between 2 and 3 o'clock, there were four vessels on fire, three schooners & a sloop. After having this specimen of their religion & mode of warfare, worthy of their ancient and established character, marauding and burning, they crossed the river and burnt Cecil Furnace, a blacksmith's shop, a grist and saw mill, and with their characteristic malignity, they burnt the bridge [by] which alone travelling in carriages can be effected on the post road.

Justin Bieber is currently off traveling the globe, which makes his new Ludacris-featuring Believe single "All Around The World" the perfect soundtrack for his worldwide promotional tour. On the single cover art, Bieb stands tall, holding his guitar like a wandering troubadour. It's an interesting image, as we can't hear any guitar in the electro-dance-leaning single, but we suppose a turntable was too heavy for the 18-year-old pop star to carry around.
Justin Bieber's Believe is out June 19. "All Around The World" is available on iTunes now, and a documentary/concert special of the same name will air on NBC on June 21.

People heap a lot of manure on early Soundgarden, and for me it isn't justified. The music in real need of a good kick up the proverbial is that of the Pixies and more significantly Nirvana, who only really acheived cult status because of the never the less tragic death of Kurt Cobain. For a debut EP, as the cliche goes, this really isn't all that bad. To someone elses ears, I hope. But to me, it is absolutely amazing. Soundgarden were obviously four men with a lot of anger inside them, and they really let it out, allowing for the darker, brooding yet equally great work on UltraMegaOK. From the pounding distortion of Hunted Down, onto the frenetic, blistering punk of Entering and Tears to Forget, the first three songs of Screaming Life allow Soundgarden to get a lot of their stomachs, whether it be in Cornells raging but coherent lyrics, Thayils aggressive but dexterous guitar work, or Camerons powerful and inventive drumming. Then comes the atmospheric heaviness of Nothing to Say, and one of the most interesting rhythms I've ever come across as a drummer, combined with the intricate guitar solo and almost narrative vocal style of Little Joe. The frenetic and scratchy rhythmic guitar and lyrics of Hand of God bring the first EP to a regrettable end, as then three cover versions overshadow the twisty pyscho-delia of Kingdom of Come.Some may critise the lack of variety of this album, but surely when you compare it to 'Nu Metal' you have to admit that at least Soundgarden displayed genuine attitude and defiance, and the lyrics are cerebral at the same time as being angry. What it may lack in melodic structure, it makes up for in atmosphere, and you can hardly claim that Soundgarden were just a mere 4 chord band.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
The first half of this CD (Screaming Life EP) is ideal early Soundgarden–a little rough around the edges, but it has some good metal tracks ("Hand of God" has some of the best guitar solos) and trademark Chris Cornell wailing, like in "Entering," "Tears to Forget," and "Nothing to Say," though the middle song sounds more like AC/DC. However, the remaining half of this CD (Fopp EP) is pretty short and skippable, though "Fopp" is an unexpectedly fun song, both versions. Even though "Screaming Life/Fopp" is one of my least listened to Soundgarden CDs, it's still worth checking out if you're a diehard Soundgarden fan.
Perhaps not the ideal release for those who are yet uninitiated with Soundgarden, in my opinion the best band to emerge from the Seattle crucible in the late 80s/early 90s, but nonetheless a worthwhile purchase given the price. Seemingly against the grain of opinion from earlier reviews, I prefer the Fopp EP over Screaming Life – Fopp itself being one of my favourite Soundgarden songs and criminally left off the 'A-sides' compilation (which is puzzling given the fact that it was an A-side track, though the A-side 'My Wave' from superunknown was treated similarly).If you are new to Soundgarden, then I suggest you begin with 'A-sides' or, if like me you are averse to buying greatest hits albums, then Superunknown. If you own all the other albums and are are still passionate about the music, for the price Screaming Life/Fopp is a worthwhile purchase.
No matter what anyone says, this is an absolutely awesome record, especially considering it's the first record Soundgarden put out. Screaming Life is clearly the highlight of the two EPs, so I'll talk about that first.A lot of people insult the scratchy, almost "ghetto" sound of the songs on this record, but if you bought it on vinyl, you'd know that that's just a result of the cd not being digitally remastered. You CAN'T hold that against the band. What's left beneath that is some absolutely gorgeous music. Nothing to Say, Hunted Down, and Entering are some of the best Soundgarden songs ever written, and in my opinion, some of the best rock songs ever written. In those songs there is undeniable skill from all sides–vocals, drums, bass, and guitar. What more could you ask for?Now the Fopp EP…Soundgarden had this tendency to make fun of things via imitation, but then at the end it looked like they were serious (take "Big Dumb Sex" on Louder than Love for example). Fopp is the same way…it's a joke. Swallow My Pride, on the other hand, is a classic grunge song, written by Green River. Half of the bands that matter have covered it, so it's only proper that Soundgarden did too.In all fairness, I can see why some "Soungarden fans" don't like this. But if you fall in that category, take a step back and acknowledge that you're just a casual Soungarden listener, because any real fan knows that this record is genuine, unfiltered Soundgarden. Maybe you should go give Audioslave a shot instead.
….at least in the case for Soundgarden, who made their music debut with "Screaming Life/FOPP" in 1987. Gosh, how long ago does that time seem? Long before Grunge-Music was established as the popular alternative-rock stuff that many different types of people love and could relate to. At the time, I'm sure Soundgarden (like most other artists starting out on their career path) had no idea where this little ditty would lead. As a longtime fan of the band, I can say with complete confidence that I'm glad this disc has landed in my hands! I enjoy every track enormously, but probably "Nothing To Say" and "Hunted Down" would classify as a tie between the title of 'Favorite Album Track.'
On the surface, one could look at this album as an extended demo. The band clearly had a flair from the outset for producing great guitar/bass riffs and solos, plus phenomenally moving vocals. What I heard here not only shows the greatness that would follow in the years and albums ahead, but also stands there as a fine monument to a great piece of work on its own. All the tracks flow together nicely, and there is alot of time on each track for just instrumental jamming (which allows the listener to drift off into energized meditation). I like the fact that the lyrical content was not altogether deep, because truly the SOUND of Soundgarden is what makes them who they are. The band creates an almost water-color-painting feel of harmony with each tune they play. One may not understand the full lyrical meaning behind the action, but they will love the action itself as fun and uplifting. This album makes you want to run around and dance (perfect to play when exercising).
Surprisingly, I find myself enjoying it alot more than their other LPs (which is not to say the rest of the classic stuff doesn't have staying power on its own, because it certainly does). For a "new" group on the Seattle music scene, Soundgarden sounds incredibly polished and gifted with their introduction EP. And what I admire the most is what they would later release is not that far removed from their beginning roots (that shows true artistic sensibility and truthfulness to the work).
I give "Screaming Life/FOPP" 5 stars easy and would raise the bar if I could. If you are a fan of Soundgarden, Chris Cornell or Audioslave or just heavy rock fans in general with powerhouse playing and singing, I would urge you to pick up this great item and add it your everyday listening life. One can hear the Black Sabbath/Led Zeppelin roots, but also 70s hard rock too (like Alice Cooper) in this disc. I assure you that you won't be disappointed, and once the disc is done playing you will have a smile on your face and will gladly press the start button again …. ENJOY!!
