6 oz sample from 12 oz bottle. Pours a amber tinged brown color wiht no head and no carbonation. Nose is all about malty. Very sweet raisin, fig, brown sugar with a moderate alcohol puff in there. I like it. Flavor is just as malty and sweet as the nose, though with a more harsh roasted flavor. No real strong flavors. Real good balance. I like it. Feel is very thick and syrupy. No carbonation here. Overall, a nice brew. The nose and flavor really draw me in. I would bet the ABV is around 9-10 on this, so drinkability is very good for that range. Solid brew.

This beer pours a dark amber color with a small head that doesn't hang around and doesn't leave any lacing on the glass. The aroma has a slightly harsh hop presence with some caramel malt aromas. The flavor has a lot of hop character for an English barleywine. Lots of hop flavor and lots of bitterness. There is caramel flavor in there too, but it's dominated by the hops. The mouthfeel is moderate and the drinkability is just ok.

The final installment of the Old Salty vertical thanks to Shapudding.
Murky brown in color with a large head. Where did that come from? Lots more carbonation than the other Old Salty offerings. More citrus in here than the others and alcohol seemed a little boozier. Caramel and butterscotch are stronger here as well. Taste is really sweet and thick. Alcohol leaves a kick as well. Nutty flavors rest underneath along with some lighter fruits and citrus. The hops aren't as good here as they were with 2002 and seem almost out of place with the thick malts. Lots of flavor in here, almost too much. Good, but give it another year and it might be very good.

Dark cherry wood colored body with a smallish light tan head that leaves a slight scattered lacing around the glass. Strong fruity esters in the nose with plenty of sweetness and a touch of molasses. Light underlying caramel as well. Flavor starts with a big sweet fruitiness and plenty of caramel malt. Touch of molasses. Sweet finish. Pretty thick and creamy not quite sticky sweet. Good all around but the 2002 was better and had more depth. I would not turn this one down though, tasty stuff.

The beer poured into the glass slightly hazy with particulates and deep amber golden brown with a tan head which rose very tall and fell very slowly to lace the glass.
The aroma was deep caramel maltiness with a nutty character that reminds one of Munich malt. The caramel maltiness was not only present, it is intense. Dark fruits, namely raisins were present as well and added to the complexity. The aroma also contained a light biscuit character.
The flavor was malty with a very nice caramel malty sweetness and enough bittering to balance the beer. Bicuit flavors emerged after the intial sweetness subsided on the palate. The beer was very effervescent due to a high carbonation level. Raisin fruit flavors added to the complexity.
The finish was off dry with lasting caramel, raising and biscuit into the aftertaste. The body was medium full, but the carbonation made it seem much less. Alcohol warming was present after consumption but never really played a part in the aroma or in the flavor.
12 ounce crown capped (not a twisty) stubbie bottle. I really enjoyed this beer, it could use a slight bit less carbonation and perhaps a few more years aging to increase in complexity. The bottle says bottom fermenting yeast, can it be so?

Thanks to Starchild for providing this one. Sat in my cellar about a year before I opened it tonight (April, 2005). Pours a tan head of 2-3 fingers over a cloudy caramel-brown liquid. Actually a very mild smell. Caramel and alcohol with some bock character (which took me by surprise). A bit of woody zing of orangish qualities makes me think Goldings hops, but I may be reaching here. Late, a smell of plum rides in on some of the alcohol. Tastes brown sugar and fruity to start with a dandy alcohol burn. The sugar and fruit then give way to a toffee caramel with possibly some hop bitter. Then back with more fruit (raisins and plums) that appear to have a light dusting of chocolate. A less pleasant alcohol then erupts as the beer goes down the throat. I get some oak barrel character, although I don't know if this beer was barrel-aged. Thick mouthfeel and actually fairly carbonated (not what I was expecting for this barleywine). Overall it was pretty nice. I wish the alcohol were a bit less sharp at the end. That was the noticable aftertaste I'm left with. The sweet and hops mixed well in the thick liquid but, IMO, were lost under the alcohol. Another year???...might have been better for me to cellar it longer.

This beer pours a dark amber color with a thin tan head that fades away to nothing within 30 seconds. Smells very sweet and doughy, a mixture between sugar cookies and biscuits, with a dark fruity note like alcohol soaked raisins. Nice malty flavors, a little maple syrup, caramal, and honey coming through, and a noticeable taste of salt which put me off a little. Also, can feel the alcohol warming my stomach almost immediately. Moutfeel is medium and very smooth---this goes down nice for a barleywine. Overall this is a very nicely balanced barleywine that I could have a few of on a cold day.

Many thanks to peziods for this sample.
Aroma presents with a mild malt sweet with a little fruit. Oxidation qualities appear a little later and then it gets deeper and richer. Aroma stays prominent throughout.
Virtually no head, showing only a ring. Darker color head that others. Brown red slight gold.
Taste shows nice combination of heavy fruit, sherry tones and alcohol (which I felt immediately in the stomach). Hop bitterness is quite low and mild. Fruit has a particularily sweet accent without excessiveness.
Thick, heavy, syrupy, smooth. Low carbonation and soft. Well done feel.
I so enjoy the heaviness of the feel and how it combines with the fruit flavors. Nice simultaneous complexity of the flavors.

Promise of a good brew with barley, roastiness, chocolate malts. Very nice dark appearance. But the second Heavyweight I have had, and I am underwhelmed by the sourness. Ok in aftertaste. Needs more malty taste to cover up. Or some other good taste. Thanks Lubiere for sending.

Porus a medium-brown wiht a small, bubbly head.
Aroma composed of a moderate bitterness, faint alcohol and a bit of sweetness.
Medium-full bodied and actually quite smooth. A noticable alcohol flavor flashes and is followed by a moderate bitterness combined with a dark fruit flavor. A salty flavor comes through that is a bit off-putting, however. A decent hoppiness exists for being an English barley-wine. I do think the alcohol is a bit hot as well, even after some aging.
One of the better English barley wines I've sampled, just a few small changes could make it great. Thanks to a friend for bringing this back from DC.

I can not believe that this has been sitting in my cellar for a year and I have never reviewed it. Well let us get down to business.
This beer pours out a deep hazey amber with a small off-white headskie. The taste is certainly salty, but the huge malts come through huge with an ample hop balance. I am not a salt lover so the saltness hurts the flavor in my opinion, but even I do love the flavor, and I would imagine that a salt lover who loves big beer would love it even more. The mouthfeel works great and this brew just goes down the hatch. I'm liking this one much much much more aged a year than I did fresh.

Appearance: Even with a forceful pour, this b-wine settles in a tulip with only the thinnest of laces. A rich ruby-garnet body is immensely tantalizing.
Smell: A very sweet malted nose (according to the bottle, from lots of English Pale) lends scents of sugar cookie, biscuit, and maple candy.
Taste: This is a cookie. A big old sugary cookie. The hops have subsided into only sweetness. The initial bitterness of any hops has long since been kneaded into the sweet malt and only shows a slight taste in the finish. The malts arent cloying though. Thats what impresses me so much is that this barleywine doesnt weigh too much. Maple syrup, corn syrup, sweet decadent candy.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, though it drinks very easily considering the sweetness of the malts. NOT Cloying. Not. It really impressed me, and certainly surprised me after the rich smell. Very good job with the mouthfeel.
Drinkability: Good, if not great. A sumptuous b-wine and a great sipper. I dont know how much of this sweetness I could take, but the easygoing mouth and utter delight of tasting this make it a real contender amongst the other good barelywines. Ages nicely. Good for Heavyweight for listing all the ingredients on the label.

Had one of the other years at a tasting and enjoyed it, so grabbed this puppy when I saw it!
Nice amber color, peppered with flakes afloatin' alll throughout it it... Man, can you say floaters??? Sweet scents, almost bubblegummy. So sugary and caramelly, bit of portwine in there though. Smooth and creamy, not much carbination, good. Nice and malty with a bit of a hoppy undertone. Caramel flavors, tastes kind of like when you are making your own caramel from sugar and water....
Thick feeling, yet not too heavy. Almost creamy, more like silky, Maybe a bit too flavorful to be highly drinkable? But this is still damn good.

Shipped to me by Foxman in a brown 12 oz. bottle with clearly marked as 2003 vintage. The label says to stash this beer away for a year to discover the magic of bottle maturity. But since this is my only bottle, I am going to enjoy is as a six month old adolescent.
The beer is cloudy reddish brown in color with almost no carbonation. Looks exactly like iced tea after the brief initial fizzle wears off. There is very little lace as well, most likely the result of the high ABV.
The smell is like a fine wine with plums, cherries, brown sugar, and spiced alcohol. The aromatic profile is very Belgian Dark-esque. The taste is very fruity malt that was detected in the smell with a candy sugar sweetness added to it. The hops are quite bitter and make the beer feel spicy and dry in the mouth, but they seem to have taken more of a secondary role at this age. The alcohol makes itself known with a strong burn at the back of the throat, especially as the beer warms. The beer feels a bit thin on the palette for the style, but this may be related to the age.
Overall a solid Barleywine that makes a good sipping companion on a late night, especially, if it happens to be your birthday.

Deep ruby red color that was remarkably clearer than I expected (though still a bit cloudy.) Mild smell of molasses, small thin head. Tootsie-roll caramel sweetness, even a little nutty, with a small hop sourness to balance it out and a mild berry undertone. Good mouthfeel and drinkability, a bit on the sweet end but still a great barleywine.
Busted out one of the '03s to see what it was like before it ages, am going to age the rest as I think it will mellow the sweetness somewhat, we shall see...

Label does not indicate ABV. No freshness date, but it's a 2003 Barley Wine.
Dark sunset, slight carbonation slips up.Darkest of the four. Tiny teeny suds.
Smells bitter, tangy, Belgian sour. A bit of horse blanket.
English Pale Malt, lots of it. Wheat malt, buiscuit malt. Dark caramel malts.
Smooth, not as smooth as 2000. Complex. Mellow Dr. Pepper and black cherry. Warmest flavor. Almost Belgian.

Many thanks to beerluvr for sending me this in BIF 6.0. Bottle says 05/03. Consumed 05/04. Pours a reddish brown color with a very small white head that disappears rather quickly.
The scent on this beer is wonderful. Rum, honey, malt and sherry. You know this is going to be a good beer. Old Salty (in its '03 incarnate) is very thick, rich and malty. There's a strong honey tasty, backed by a slight hoppy aftertaste, and then a very long, lingering spicy alcohol taste.
I'm still confused as to how exactly this is a bottom-fermenting barley wine, but it tastes great, so I won't complain.

It pours a cloudy, deep amber, a shade or two short of ruby. Less than a finger of white head barely exists before it dwindles to virtually nothing. Sticky flares of lacing cling to the glass.
The aroma delivers a dense cloud of toasted malt, sweet and earthy, along with the gentle perfume of hops. A mellow bitterness blinks on, and then off. Vapors of alcohol dance rather furtively.
Upon sipping, there's a thick, cooked malt sweetness that borders on syrupy, but never becomes unmanageable. Notes of caramel and honey bounce about, enlivening the middle ground. A touch of molasses mingles with hints of berries near the end, before a dry shallow hops bitterness lingers lightly at the finish. With the moderate hops presence, it achieves a pleasant and playable balance, complete with a stream of warming alcohol.
Medium to heavy bodied, it lubricates and coats, and never cloys. The muted glow at the finish lingers and fades slowly.
So, again, Heavyweight comes through with a tasty big beer. The malt vs. hops balance is right in line, and the thickness of body gives off a filling vibe. The ABV does more than just warm, winding its way headward, but it comes with the territory, and it's worth braving for one or two more. It intrigues and interests, and that's a combo that works real well in my world.

A dark brown colored brew topped in a thin layer of tannish foam. The aroma has a lot of spice in there. There is a huge hop aroma as well as some nice malts and fruits.
It is a big-bodied barleywine with a great deal of drinkability. If there is a session barleywine for me, it is this one. Big blasts of bitter hops are well balanced with loads of malts. There are roasty flavors in there as well. Dark fruits also let their presence be known. It is smooth with a medium level of carbonation. Definitely one of my favorites.

This beer had a nice dark amber pour, without too much head. A very nice aroma, malty but not overpowering. It felt very nice on the tongue: not too fizzy, not too heavy. There was no particular aftertaste, although by the end of the bottle, I was ready for it to be done. It seemed to get heavier as we got more into it.
Overall, I've had much worse barley wine. I would definately have this again.

A very aggressive pour generated zero head. It seems flat. Color is a deep caramel with a redish tint. The nose is sweet with malt character. The tatse starts sweet but finishes rather bland. The mouthfeel is quite thick and seems almost syrupy. Swirling the glass in attempt to stir things up showed the thickness of this brew. It coated the walls like wine would...hence the style I suppose. It also coats your mouth as you drink it. I should've takeb the labels advice and shelved it 'til next year. I hope is was a bad bottle because I know Heavyweight brews good beer.

Pours a dark slightly cloudy copper with a thin head that still persists until you wish you had another to fill your empty glass. Big time toffee-caramel aroma with some slight whiffs of fruit and alcohol.
There's tasty, and there's damned tasty, and then there's that level of deliciousness where you try the beer, put down the glass, and stare at it in admiration - not because you want to, but because you have to. I put down my glass at least twice, maybe three times. The combination of massive malt, a healthy but not huge hoppiness, and a lager(!) yeast has resulted in one hugely impressive barleywine. Dark caramel, toffee, dark fruitiness and some estery complexity all draped over a subtle but present alcoholic background. The hops are mostly present as a balancing bitterness, although some Doppelbock-like spiciness is also present. This is a barleywine for malt mavens. Big, balanced, and chewy. One of the very few barleywines (Old Ho and Druid Fluid are the others that come to mind) that would get tired of me before I'd get tired of them.
Easily in my top 5 barleywines.

Kaplut goes the beer as it splashes into the glass, looking like some sort of warmed caramel-flavored hair gel. Lots of fruit. And caramel. No matter how hard I tried, I could not convince myself I didn't smell a lot of caramel in this beer. Halloween time! Caramel apples or something. Hints of rubbing alcohol float around at just the right (or wrong) moments.
Tastes quite nice, very easy for a barleywine, frankly. Rolling malty flavors slide over the tonngue. Malty, syrupy sweetness. Super thick. Moves from butterscotch and melted brown sugar to darker, deeper flavors -- Belgian-style estery fruits. Finishes with surprisingly little alcohol flavor. Um, hello, My name is Old Salty, and I'm fucking tasty.

A dark red-brown body, topped by a effervescent half-finger beige head. Caramel mixes with dark fruits in a subdued nose. Mouthfeel is delightful, lush and full, thick across the tongue, a strong bold statement. A thick malt body crashes through the gate of the mouth like galloping horses, with the hops as riders, balancing the sweetness. Because sweetness abounds, malt and syrup and treacle, but in everything there is enough of a balance. There's a deep, dark fruitness among the sweetness, and the subtlest kiss of hops at the end, and an aftertaste that conveys contentment. So good, I'm already looking forward to another, but I may stash the final two for awhile. Highly recommended.
This is brewed with a lager yeast. Why? Why not? Perhaps a secret Brewer Tom Baker learned traveling in his Tardis.

I've always considered myself to be a fairweather Staind fan. The singles from "Dysfunction" were great, but sometimes the rest of it was a bit hard on the ears for me. Not so with their second album, "Break The Cycle." It's just as hard, but this time, it just seems to flow more melodically. On to the music:1. "Open Your Eyes:" Brilliant opener, heavy, yet Lewis' voice keeps it melodic…One of the best on the album.2. "Pressure:" Loud, soulful rocker about being under pressure…3. "Fade:" Using the alternating soft verse/hard chorus that is becoming Staind's signature, "Fade" describes, in one word, abandonment…4. "It's Been Awhile:" To me, this song, this song obviously represents getting over someone. The first single, it uses the same formula as "Fade," and it works very well…Also one of the best on the album.5. "Change:" Same formula again as "Fade" and "It's Been Awhile." A song of penance, remorse, and a desire for change, I consider this to be one of the weaker songs on the album, the first from the beginning that I dislike…6. "Can't Believe:" This is the first song on "Break The Cycle" that reminds me of the old Staind. It's got the requisite screaming, massive distortion, and aggressive, driving bass line.7. "Epiphany:" The first time I heard this song, I just sat in my chair, dazed. After a few minutes, I restarted the song, and listened to it over and over until I knew the words by heart. Not in a long time have I heard a song this powerful, this emotional, and this evocative. The first Staind song that is relatively soft the whole way through, "Epiphany" is also their best song…Easily the best track on the album.8. "Suffer:" Another throwback to old Staind. Showcases another new Staind mechanic: Apparently, after "Dysfunction," someone realized that Aaron Lewis can sing incredibly well, and so on "Break The Cycle," Lewis' voice is much more audible over the crashing guitars. This song is odd, in that the chorus is relatively upbeat…for Staind, at least…9. "Warm Safe Place:" Another track, about finding refuge, follows the afore-mentioned Staind formula. Not too many Staind songs have audible backing vocals, but this one does on the chorus.10. "For You:" This song reminds me of "Me" from "Dysfunction," at least in content…11. "Outside:" The long-awaited studio version, sans Fred Durst, of the live wonder. This song arguably created the formula that I described for "Fade." An incredible song of the pain of a relationship that seems to have ended before it began, "Outside" seems to spike in the hope department in the last verse, but the final chorus lets us know what's really going on. This song has come a long way since the live version, and the changes have been nothing short of spectacular. It would have been pretty easy to screw this song up, but thankfully, Staind pulled it off. Another of the best songs on the album…12. "Waste:" This Staind-formulaic song features very low key verse music; Aaron Lewis' voice is completely in front of everything else. He sings double on the chorus, which makes for an interesting sound. Aaron 1 sings the almost monotone version, while Aaron 2 sings a very sharp and high version of the chorus…13. "Take It:" The album's official closer, "Take It" is formulaic Staind at it's most aggressive and obnoxious…14. Bonus track: The bonus track is really long, and contains lots of…sound. About 7 ½ minutes into it, someone begins reciting what I think is a passage from the Bible, though I might be wrong. About 13 minutes in, static begins. At 15 minutes, much of the…sound ends. The entire track ends at almost 20 minutes.Note: When I wrote in different song descriptions that a particular track was "formulaic," I wasn't demeaning the song. I've just noticed that Staind has a particular approach when it comes to its new music, the soft verse/loud chorus, and I like it.So, there it is. All in all, a brilliant album. Standouts: "Open Your Eyes," "It's Been Awhile," "Epiphany," "Warm Safe Place," and "Outside." Definitely worth a purchase.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
I don't think I've ever bought a cd as good as "Break the Cycle". Aaron Lewis has such a good voice and such a good scream ("Change", "Can't Believe") All the songs sound different and are well written by Lewis. Songs like "Epiphany", "It's Been Awhile", and "Safe Place" remind me so much of my girlfriend, Brittany, and they are just a pleasure to listen to. Though I have to admit this album by Staind isn't as hard and heavy as their other 2 cds, songs such as "Suffer", "Pressure", "Can't Believe" and "Change" definently makes you want to thrash your head back and forth. Very emotionally driven and shows Aaron Lewis sharing his angst about his broken family he had to grow up with. I'm adopted so I can relate to alot of what he sings about like being ignored, never given much attention, shouted at consistently and other sh– like that. The drummer is excellent, the guitar riffs are awesome and the singing by Aaron Lewis is some of the best I've ever heard (Nickelback, slightly better) Well, if you havn't bought this masterpiece of alt-metalhard rock, do it ASAP! Peace.
"Break The Cycle" is basically Staind at their pinnacle. The album is flawless and each track is a hit. Aaron Lewis' introspective lyrics combined with Mike Mushok's wall-of-sound guitars build what was easily the best hard-rock album to come out 2001. The band explored more acoustic elements than before and the song-writing was put up front a bit more. Obviously, at the time, many fans brushed Staind off as sell-outs, which, in hindsight, I think everyone is realizing just how ridiculous that is — especially when you consider the two biggest hits here ("It's Been A While" and "Outside") were kicking around in Lewis' head before Staind got signed. Sure, this album isn't half as aggressive or depressing as it's predecessor, 1999's "Dysfunction" (or their indie debut "Tormented"), but it is an overall professional and potent album, that is consistantly solid the whole way through. Acoustic (or partially) ballads (that have now become a staple of the band) make up about a third of this album. "It's Been A while" is already a modern rock classic, along with a studio version of "Outside" (original live version from the "Family Values 1999″ disc) and "Epiphany," a touching song, dedicated to the fans. "Waste" is another fan dedicated song, but this one is more aggressive and is directed towards an individual fan who committed suicide. After being approached by the kid's Mother, Aaron Lewis penned this song. By closely listening to the song, a positive message is revealed, and marks one of the most mature moments of Staind's career. "Open Your Eyes" is a song about various global problems (i.e. pollution, homelessness, drugs…) while straight-out rockers like "Pressure" and "For You" tend to dwell on more familiar subjects. Some people may label this album or the band as "whiners," and it is true, there is quite a bit of self-pity in Staind's music, but the material is handled well and Aaron Lewis writes mature lyrics, that seem to be somewhat more constructive than that of his peers. Overall, everytime I listen to this album, I walk away feeling good, rather than beat down by the world. Which is exactly what music like this should do. Aside from this album, having seen Staind live, I can honestly say they have my full respect. I saw them on one of the coldest nights of this past winter. We had to wait outside for the doors to open (sold out, mind you) in the freezing cold of negative 25 degrees (with some wind to boot). It was pretty cold inside the venue too. But once Staind hit the stage, things actually seemed to warm up. It may sound corny, but their live show (and their music in general) sucks you in. For the hour or more they played, they put all their energy into it made the audience share the experience. Staind are a truly gifted band, and this is their best recording so far. I recommend it to anyone who loves music.
Ever have a CD that you never really fully listened to when you first bought it? You know, sometimes you get that album for some specific songs, play those songs again and again, then forget about the rest of the album later. This has happened to me a few times, being that I have a very short attention span (gotta love the pure wonders of television, folks!). I'll listen to certain songs again and again, then forget about the rest of the album.This was the case with Staind's album, "Break the Cycle." There were a few songs that I'd listen to again and again, then not pay any attention to the rest of the album. This was not the band's fault at all. Just my own weak attention span. Well, after finding this CD in a pile of others (ones I don't even listen to anymore), I decided to pop it in and give the entire album a good listen. I was completely surprised by the results. It was as if I was hearing the album for the first time–well, in a way, I was.All of the songs are well balanced with emotions such as sorrow, anger and sadness. The lyrics are very powerful and strong, while the singing and the music is overall excellent. Each song has a feel and look of its own, which is important to create a successful album, as these guys have. While it's not quite as heavy as their past efforts, this album has plenty of anger and rage within. There are songs that are heavy while others are more mellow and somber. You're never facing overkill with a certain song style. While I love the entire album, my favorite songs are "open your eyes," "fade," "it's been awhile," "suffer," "epiphany," "for you," "waste" and "outside." Those are my favorites, but the entire album is a great listen. The band has really grown with this release, and it's very clear from the play list that is delivered on this masterpiece.If you're looking for something that is evenly heavy and mellow at the same time, you should definitely give Staind's "Break the Cycle" a chance. And if you're like me by already owning it but never gave it a proper listen, be sure to do that as soon as you can. This is a fine and outstanding effort from a very talented band that knows how to deliver power and emotion with each song. -Michael Crane
……1. Open Your Eyes-Love the instrumental, the verses have a sick way of getting into my head and staying there. The chorus is so-so, but the song is definitely one of the better songs.2. Pressure-great song, verses and chorus are melodic and go together nicely. A good song to use to introduce someone to Staind.3. Fade-One of my favorites. The chorus is incredible and I simply can't get enough. The song never gets old.4. It's Been Awhile-Eh…i loved this song to death, but it got overplayed. Not the song's fault, however.5. Change-At first I liked it, but now it just seems mediocre compared to the rest of the album. The verses are still good though!6. Can't Believe-I didn't like this song, but you must hear the MTV Unplugged version of this song–damn incredible..7. Epiphany-Everyone's favorite…=)8. Suffer – The verse's lyrics are kind of weak, not because I can't relate, but because one or two lines don't flow real nice..chorus is very catchy and melodic, and surprisingly optimistic9. Warm, Safe Place – I love the bass line and the guitar melody but the song itself is weak. 10. For You-Ahhh, another incredible song. The whole song is well-rounded, very enjoyable if you hate your damn parents sometimes!11. Outside-Definitely much better than the live version. Still as every bit captivating as it was.12. Waste-Ah damn, now this is intense. About a fan's suicide…the verses, drums, and guitar melody are captivating, but the chorus is kind of weak. Wait till you get the parts after the second chorus…i almost fell over when i first heard it13. Take it-Good song, but not much to really say about it…I do like how it ends though !All in all, its an incredible CD, but the number one thing to remember about it is to listen to it over again even if you don't like it. I hated it at first, but i listened to it again two weeks later and I haven't stopped listening to this incredible album. If you're one of those people who hate albums just because you can't relate to their lyrics, then this album isn't for you. But its people like you who destroy great bands. If you enjoy an album because of what really matters, the MUSIC, then you'll love this album.

UPDATE: Alaska Airlines confirmed flight 619 headed from Las Vegas to Portland Thursday night ended up having to land in Yakima due to equipment failure and foggy weather.
The airline said a piece of equipment needed to land on foggy conditions went out during flight.
Because there was too much fog in Portland and Seattle, the plane landed in Yakima where Alaska tried to repair the equipment.
The equipment could not be repaired quickly, so Alaska Airlines sent another plane from Seattle to Yakima Friday morning to pick up the 93 passengers, and take them to Portland. That plane landed at PDX at 9:00 am.
YAKIMA, WA - An Alaska Airlines flight headed from Las Vegas to Portland is now at the Yakima Airport after an emergency landing early Friday morning.
An Alaska Airlines representative says there was some sort of mechanical problem with the plane.
No word yet about how many people were on board.
We are working to get more information and will pass it along as soon as we get it.

I've got an idea. Let's make things really easy for capital. Create an economic climate where the Dow climbs from 8,000 to 15,000 in four short years. Surely, then, capital will take its profits and expand its productive capacities and hire more workers. What? It's paying cash for low-priced houses instead? But, wait, what about our job-creating heroes? Where is their heroism? Oh, I see. That was just a ruse fostered by capital and its puppeteers in their efforts to make capital seem more humane than the workers it routinely exploits? Drat! Fooled again!

PHOENIX -- After cruising through the first two innings Tuesday, Padres starter Andrew Cashner left the game early against the D-backs with a strained right lat muscle while warming up for the bottom of the third.
The 25-year-old righty reported after the game he felt the pain on his second and third warmup pitches, prompting him to signal to the dugout for Padres manager Bud Black to come out with the trainers.
"I felt a little grab and then the third pitch, it grabbed even worse," Cashner said. "It's definitely sore right now."
Cashner allowed one hit and struck out two in his two innings of work.
The latissimus dorsi muscle is located below the shoulder on the side of the torso. Padres closer Huston Street missed a month earlier this season with a similar injury.
"Our diagnosis from our medical staff is outstanding," Black said. "We have a lat strain of some sort to some degree. Pretty low on the lat, not the shoulder though."
Black said he was pleased that Cashner didn't attempt to pitch through the injury and cause more damage.
"He felt it and he did the right thing," Black said. "He felt like he could keep going, but he said he wanted to let us know what was going on."

Authorities are looking for a man they call a person of interest in an attempted robbery of a Phoenix bank.
FBI spokesman Manuel Johnson says the man is a "person of interest" in Saturday's attempted robbery at a Bank of America branch, but he declined to explain the man's connection to the crime.
A Bank of America employee was taken hostage at her home Friday night and brought to the bank the next morning by a suspect. She had a device put on her neck that looked like a bomb but turned out not to be an explosive.
The suspect waited outside while the employee went inside, but eventually drove away.
The person of interest is pictured in Target store surveillance photos from December 20, 2012.
The FBI is also asking for help identifying a man who robbed a US Bank at 1159 W. Chandler Blvd -- the same day as the attempted robbery at Bank of America.
The bank is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to convictions.
No arrests have been made.
TIPLINE: FBI at (623) 466-1366 or online at www.BanditTrackerArizona.com

Two suspects have been arrested after leading police on a chase from Oregon to east Toledo late Tuesday morning.
It started in Oregon around 10:45 a.m. when police say they were searching for thieves who were trying to steal scrap from a business on Alexis Road in Toledo. An Oregon police officer spotted the suspects in a black Dodge pickup truck near Seaman Street and Wynn Road, and tried to pull over the vehicle, but a chase ensued.
The chase ended just after 11 a.m. after the driver ran over a pole and crashed into a retaining wall by a house on Maryland Avenue and North Ravine Parkway near Ravine Park in east Toledo.
After the crash, both suspects were arrested.
No one was injured during the chase.

Turbosound has developed a new loudspeaker bracket for the Impact series loudspeakers. The WB-5 adjustable wall bracket is now supplied as standard with all three new Impact series installation loudspeakers and has integral electrical connections built into it.
This solution allows the brackets to be sited, installed, and pre-wired by an electrical contractor, who need not have prior acoustics knowledge. The audio contractor simply has to push-fit the loudspeakers onto the brackets to complete the electrical circuit and angle the loudspeakers.
The Impact loudspeakers can also be easily installed using WB-10 wall brackets and CB-10 ceiling brackets, and are OmniMount™ compatible. All models include a 3/8" threaded mic stand insert for use in near field applications.
The 3.5" passive two-way Impact 35, Impact 55T 5" passive two-way, and dual 5" passive two-way Impact 65T are designed for a multitude of fixed install applications. And, with the addition of sub-bass reinforcement from the TSB-110 bass enclosure, Impact loudspeakers can also be used as primary sound reinforcement systems.
The cabinets are moulded from gas-injected, glass filled fire-retardant ABS plastic and they, as well as the WB-5 brackets, are paintable, allowing them to be décor-matched to any venue's requirements. Outdoor venues are also well catered for by the IP54 weather resistant specification and include stainless steel grille and forward facing ports as standard on all models.
For the Impact 55T and Impact 65T models, line transformers are a standard feature allowing them to be integrated into larger 70-volt line or 100-volt line multi-zoned distributed systems. They offer multiple voltage taps for accurate level matching, as well as a convenient low impedance setting.
Weighing in at just 2.2kg, the ultra-compact Impact 35 features a reflex-loaded 3.5" LF driver and a 1" neodymium ferrofluid-cooled HF tweeter, matched with an internal passive crossover network.
Based around a 5" low frequency drive unit and a 1" neodymium ferrofluid- cooled tweeter, the compact Impact 55T is a passive 2-way loudspeaker design that uses an internal crossover to accurately match the drive units for a smooth frequency response.
Finally, the Impact 65T features a twin 5" low frequency driver complement plus two HF tweeters in a taller cabinet to provide increased SPL with deeper bass response that is ideally suited to house of worship settings.
With the ultra compact TSB-110 two-channel bandpass subwoofer, you can widen the low frequency response of any Impact loudspeakers. It is small enough to fit in confined spaces, and the dual-coil 10" woofer and passive crossover allows Impact satellite speakers to be easily connected without additional amplifiers.

Describing texture in a story creates intimacy between reader and character, and can even cause an emotional trigger for both. To anchor the reader in the scene, make sure comparisons and contrasts are clear and relatable, and within the scope of the narrator's life knowledge and experience.
A weak example:
With her back to the wind, Anna knelt in the field and ran her hands through the soil drifting between the limp stalks of corn. Powder dusted her hand like the leftovers of a sugar donut.Closing her eyes, she lifted her face to the sun and prayed that the rains would come, that Pa's crop would be saved.
What's wrong with this example?
A donut dusted in icing sugar is a positive, and likely brings out good feeling in the reader. This is at direct odds with what the dusty soil actually signifies--possible hardship for Anna's family.
A strong example:
With her back to the wind, Anna knelt in the field and ran her hands through the soil drifting between the limp stalks of corn. The ground had as much moisture as the chalky brushes old Ms. Stitch made her clap together every day after school. Closing her eyes, she lifted her face to the sun and prayed that the rains would come, that Pa's crop would be saved.
Why does this example work?
The dry ground texture is tied to an unpleasant chore--cleaning erasers, which sets it up as an emotional negative.

This is funny that you posted this. I just cleaned up a bunch of baby powder on the tile floor. (I put it along the base of the kitchen floor because it is supposed to be a nontoxic ant barrier.)

Yep: powdered sugar beats chalk dust any time for icky dryness. I tried to think of a negative dust reference that wasn't soil related and failed entirely. And yet chalk dust has been so much a part of my life -- I've probably blocked it out of my mind...

PLATTSBURGH — Plattsburgh Air Force Base, a huge presence here for 40 years, has little remaining to tell its story.
But there's a move to create a Plattsburgh Air Force Base Museum, an idea Keith Herkalo pitched at a recent Battle of Plattsburgh Association Board of Directors meeting.
Now, at a meeting set for 7 p.m. Thursday, March 7, he'll bring it to the larger community.
Such a museum could fill a void in the area's historical coverage, he said, and leave a lasting record of a base that greatly influenced the North Country and remains a point of pride among those associated with it.
Plattsburgh Airbase Redevelopment Corp. has looked for "a legacy project," said Herkalo, president of the Battle of Plattsburgh Association Board.
"I would hope they would look at the Plattsburgh Air Force Base Museum as that legacy that they would leave to the community and the nation."
Interest already exists.
Over time, Herkalo has noticed that those who grew up in or on the base itself stop there to show it to their children or relatives.
"They all have fond memories of the community here," he said. "We have a situation where we're not meeting a need."
Even tourists with no connection to the area would stop, too, he said, looking for information about the base, which was home to the 380th Bombardment Wing.
Some will walk into the War of 1812 Museum and ask where the (presumed) Plattsburgh Air Force Base Museum is located, Herkalo said.
"They come to see the airplanes; they bring their relatives. They wonder what happened (to the base,)" he said.
"It seems a natural extension that we would create a museum adjacent to the Clyde Lewis Air Park."
Lewis, who died at age 95 in 2009, lobbied the Air Force to bring the Strategic Air Command base to the area in the 1950s.

Albany Firefighters are climbing almost 9 stories up ladders to make sure they can handle heights when called on.
As part of their annual training Albany firefighters are doing aerial truck exercises.
All 154 firefighters have to climb the 100 foot ladder on the aerial truck.
At the top, they train with the aerial fire hose which shoots up to 1500 gallons of water a minute.
Then they climb all the way back down.
Firefighters have to prove they can handle the work physically and psychologically.
Lt. Ronnie Polite said "That's something you have to overcome on your own basically. But most of them, it's the officer as at the station. They'll teach you how to get over the heights."
Firefighter Michael McClendon said "The secret is, it's a mind thing. You just focus. Take everything out of your mind and go to climbing. Think about what you have to do.">
All the firefighters will conclude this annual aerial training by Tuesday

THUNDER! w/ DJ Ivan Rodriguez, DJ Herbert Holler & more @ The Gallery at LPR(Le) Poisson Rouge (158 Bleecker Street, New York, NY) Map it $2
THUNDER! w/ DJ Ivan Rodriguez, DJ Herbert Holler, and Brett Tabisel
THUNDER is legend. The party has existed for years as a "you-had-to-know-about-it-already-to-be-there" after hours underground rock-n-roll party, run from the dirt floors of Brett's Basement. For a party to remain a well-guarded secret like THUNDER, over the course of nearly a decade, is unprecedented in New York.
THUNDER has a folklore of its own, passed between partygoers, promoters, groupies, and the easily awestricken; stories too good to share with just anyone, too raunchy to be printed, too strange to doubt their authenticity, and too nasty to have come from any party but THUNDER.
Now, the party is going public.
THUNDER founders Herbert Holler (The Freedom Party), Iván Rodriguez (Nasty Mondays), Alcorn Minor (Bounce), and Brett Tabisel (Macaulay Culkin's iPod) are bringing the city's dirtiest rock-n-roll party to the basement at LPR. THUNDER, never before thrown in a public space, will retain everything that created the mystique of New York's most talked about party: The clowns, the guest DJs, the bar-top dancing, the keg in the middle of the room, the only-in-New-York-City vibe. THUNDER is coming out from the shadows and into a whole new era.
You've seen three people sport the THUNDER lapel pin at the red carpet this year, the THUNDER tattoo on one of the NBA's hottest young stars, runway models making the THUNDER hand sign during fashion week, and the hand-written THUNDER flier in the background of one of this summer's biggest blockbusters. Now you can see what THUNDER is all about. And unlike the trailer for a Kevin James movie, THUNDER hasn't shown you all it's good parts yet.
