Part of the new 12 pack.
Enjoy by Apr 30 2011.
Oh boy. Another black IPA. In a pint glass the beer was a dark brown color with a thin tan head. There was a bunch of light brown particulate matter suspended in the beer.
Roasted malt aroma with some floral/herbal hops.
Chocolate and coffee taste, late piney hops.
Pretty bitter (and not in a nice way) mouthfeel.
This was unappetizing and didn't taste that great. I've had two, and I'm going to try to palm off the last one on my son-in-law.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a Pint glass. ("3/4 Pint of Ale" as they say on the label.) The label has a freshness date of "May 31 2011" and the abv is listed at 6%.
Appearance: It has a very dark look in the glass with some very deep dark garnet colored highlights showing through the beer. I also noticed some fine sediment hanging in suspension within the body. To cap off this beer I got a dense tan head which stands two fingers tall. This head has excellent retention and coats the glass with lacing.
Smell: I get a dark roasted malt character with hints of coffee and caramel. Hops are lighter than the malt and add some citrus and herbal notes to the nose.
Taste/Palate: The palate opens up with mild sweetness, roasted malt, coffee and toasted bread with citrus hop notes quickly moving in. It finishes with pleasant herbal/leafy hop bitterness fading slowly off the tongue. It has a creamy and smooth mouth feel with pleasant soft carbonation.
Notes: It come off more as a Porter than IPA but is still very tasty and beautiful.

A- Nice dark brown color, small head which recedes quickly, not what I was expecting when I saw IPA on the bottle but I'm buying it.
S- Yum, roasty toasty coffee and light caramel, smells like a porter, maybe a bit of hops
T- Wow, I am liking this one. The roasted flavors blend with the high hoppiness in a great great way. I don't know how this is an IPA but it sure is delicious. Maybe a cross between a porter and an IPA but it works very well
M- Good, moderate carbonation bristling with just right body to balance out everything, maybe a bit more carbonation could have sent it over the top for me
D- Great, maybe not the most drinkable because of the hoppiness but I could easily put away a 6 pack of this if I had it

12oz brown bottle with a freshness date inkjet printed on the neck of the bottle.
Tan head and lacing do a great job with dressing the glass, opaque brown color talks about being black. Stodgy pungent hop nose with a charcoal burnt graininess in the nose. Smooth with some crispness on the backside. Some burnt flavors from the malt, some sweetness as well. Hoppiness is pungent and pulls on the palate. Finish goes towards dry with a clean roasted flavor and lingering hop.
Solid, perhaps one of the best beers Magic Hat has come out with in years. Only gripe is that I expected it to be full on black ... splitting hairs now.

12 ounce bottle, Best before info etched onto the next of the bottle.
Pours quite dark brown, under a larger, fluffy and staying medium mocha head, that fades to a thicker film and leaves tons of thick sheeting and bands of unsophisticated looking lace.
Chalky chocolate laden nose.
This brew is a ragged mess, with more chocolate, more chalkyness, dark malts, hops somewhere in the back ground, but somehow not making sense nor dancing well with all that chocolate flavor. Finish is thin and not all that pleasant. C'mon Magic Hat, does anybody taste this stuff before it leaves the brewery?!?

Chestnut colored and opaque with ruby highlights. An oatmeal colored head of low froth rises up minimally and settles slowly leaving legs of lace.
Low aroma of cocoa and caramel, hints of tangerine. Hops morph to pine in the finish. Hints of marshmallow, finishes with a nutty, buttery ringwood nuance. Fairly well-balanced, but leaning more toward malt than hops. Not overly complex. Even mouthfeel, moderate carbonation, finishes slightly tingly. This is a slightly above average beer, fairly tasty, but also pretty forgettable.

Pours a muddy deep brown with a tan head that disspiates to a skin rather quickly, leaving thin lacing on the glass.
Aromas of pine hops, dark malts (crystal & US chocolate), and faint hint of spearmint. Some fresh earthiness also.
Taste has more malts than the nose, but still sufficient hops. Burnt coffee (in a good way) and chocolate maltiness with piney hops. A nice hint of citrus blends well with a dark bitter chocolate ending.
Thin mouthfeel, high carbonation, crisp and slightly dry.
Second time was a charm with this one for me. I like the complexities, even though I'm not a big fan of the American Black Ale. The hint of citrus and bitter chocolate finish really boost the taste rating for me.

Body is dark cocoa brown with a cloudy amber appearance once held toward the light, big light tan head dwindles slowly with fine evenly strung rings of lacing. aroma has dark mint hints of nearly burnt ash with mild to dark notes of cocoa. Very herbal highlights amongst the backdrop of dark roasted malt character this is pretty amazing for what it is. Flavor has mild dark chocolate brownie notes drizzled with mint icing light on candy heavy on herbs and endurance...pretty amazing actually, one of the beers that you try not to remember but actually grows on you with each sip. Mouthfeel is medium bodied dark silky smooth body with evenly done carbonation I can't complain about the texture or body in this one. Drinkability in this one isn't bad at all, I don't judge it but I'm scared about what it thinks about me.

This beer isn't bad. Looks are good... Big inch high tan foam head, great looking lacing, and decent head retention. The beer itself is deep brown in color and somewhat hazy, from what I can see given the dark color. Aroma is of chocolate, licorice, caramel, and leather. Hop aromas are fairly faint. Taste is comprised of mainly chocolate mixed with tobacco and piney hops. Maybe some residual citrus rind. This also has a bit of an earthy feel in both smell and taste. Texture is chalky, kind of resinous, and dry. Medium, even bitterness is evident. I would appreciate a fuller body on this. Along with that a thicker malt base would be welcome not to mention some more flavor hops. I wouldn't be against having this again at all, but I've definitely had superior black ales/IPAs. This beer has a lot of separate parts that could come together more seamlessly. So, overall, not bad and not great.

Nothing pale about this one, but nothing that black about it either. So, it's a very dark IPA and a hardly-black Black Ale. Color is a dark reddish brown, mahogany maybe, and the head is a fluffy, creamy, meringue-firm sort of dirty white. I dig.
Nose is truer to style than its appearance. Lightly burnt grains, hint of smoke, citrus-y hops -- very clean despite the "something's burnt" element. Truth be told, not as burnt smelling as many others in this style. Everything is balanced well, the somewhat conflicting citrus and charred grain aspects mingling nicely.
Appearance would indicate that the burnt taste of many ABAs is going to be lesser here, and it is. You get more of a nice caramel-y, smoky toffee kind of taste instead, and the citrus-like hops don't abrade against that but instead mesh well within. The burnt aspect comes in the finish, and plays tricks on your tongue (burnt or fruity, or burnt fruit?). The feel is smooth and airy, soft and slick, and keeps Demo's drinkability high.
Gotta love the label, a 45 rpm demo record label. Very good beer too, a slightly different take on the style. But for their "IPA on Tour" series, I'm most anxious for the return of Encore.

Bottle from Premiere. Not as hoppy as a black IPA, and has a decent bitterness for a black, good roasting mostly. Mouthfeel a tad less than middling, still nicely drinkable. Black coloured bodied, of course. Worth a try, just do not expect it to be a black IPA.

Pours a dark black with a quarter of an inch of brown, dense, foamy head that has great retention. The nose is faintly roasty with a creamy, butterscotch note. The flavor is exactly the same. There is also a mild, astringent finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, smooth, and crisp.
There isn't much flavor or balance here. The flavor is dominated by a big butterscotch creaminess which isn't pleasing. The hop character is mild, but harshly bitter when it wants to be. Overall, I'm not a big fan of this one.

So another I.P.A from Magic Hat. I was eager to try this somewhat new style, a black I.P.A.
Demo poured beautifully. Deep black color with a really nice tannish head. Belgian lace draped down the inside of the glass.
Not much in aroma a little smokiness and a slight hint of hops. Where's the hops?
The mouthfeel is a bit thin for this style.
Overall a decent beer certainly not what I was expecting.

OX4 postcode area tops county league for burglary
8:00am Wednesday 29th January 2014 in News By Ben Wilkinson, Crime Reporter, also covering Barton and Wood Farm. Call me on (01865) 425427
BURGLARY victims in the OX4 area of Oxford are more likely to make an insurance claim than anywhere else in the county, research has revealed.
The OX4 postcode – which includes East Oxford, Cowley and Blackbird Leys – is the only area in the county above the national average for the number of people per 1,000 claiming insurance after being burgled.
Yet police crime figures showing household burglary has dropped by nearly 20 per cent in the city.
The insurance claim statistics – from the MoneySuperMarket price comparison website – show contents claims in Oxford increased from 7.2 per 1,000 people to 8.1 last year. The national average is 9.7.
In the OX4 area, the number of claims following burglaries rose from 10.2 per 1,000 people in 2012 to 18.1 last year. The rise has put the postcode into the top 20 per cent of UK burglary hotspots.
OX4 resident Terry Andersohn, right, had his home in Blackbird Leys targeted by a prolific burglar in 2012.
Janet Lestrade, then 43, was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison for stealing 100 euros and a purse from disabled Mr Andersohn's home.
Mr Andersohn, 64, yesterday said he was sad to hear the area was the worst in the county for burglary claims, but he said he had never claimed for his loss because he did not know how to.
He said: "It made me feel insecure and frightened.
"If I hear a noise or somebody at the door I don't know what to do."
And he said he did not know why the area had so many break-ins, but said: "It seems to be an easy target and people seem to target people on their own."
The insurance claim figures were taken from the periods between December 1 and November 30 over the two years.
Thames Valley Police would not comment on the firm's research but said its official statistics showed home burglaries had fallen.
The force's figures show domestic burglaries in the city have fallen 19 per cent – from 389 between April 1 and December 31 last year, compared to the 480 in the same period in 2012.
Police figures for household burglary per 1,000 Oxford residents fell to 7.0 from April to December last year compared to 8.67 in the same period the year before.
Jim Maddan, chairman of the Neighbourhood and Home Watch Network for England and Wales, urged residents to get involved in a Neighbourhood Watch scheme to help protect their and their neighbours' homes.
He said: "Crime does not flourish in communities where people care about each other."

And we all know how reliable Police figures are don't we.

It took them 4 hours to come to the scene. When they did eventually arrive the surly WPC informed me that she wasn't going to investigate the case and it would go on file. She didn't even attempt to do her job.
You can understand why people start to take the law into their own hands when the police don't do the job.

Shame really as I do know some decent coppers but if you're unfortunate enough to have only dealt with her, TVP have a very poor reputation!!

Houston has signed its first-round draft choice, CB Kareem Jackson, to a five-year contract, PFW's Texans correspondent, John McClain, is reporting on his Twitter account. Details of the deal weren't immediately available.
Jackson was the 20th overall selection in the April draft, and he is expected to take over the starting RCB job across from promising second-year LCB Glover Quin, who didn't allow a touchdown pass after he became a starter in Week Four last season, according to McClain.
The Texans allowed their top cornerback last season, Dunta Robinson, to depart in free agency this offseason, prompting an overhaul of the secondary.

LAS VEGAS — Be nice to your little brother; you never know when hell grow to be 7-foot and become an instant millionaire.
Back in the eighth grade, Cody Zeller was 6-foot-5 and all of 155 pounds. He had two older brothers, Luke and Tyler, who watched out for him, including playing basketball against older kids.
Oldest of the siblings Luke, who played 16 games last season with the Phoenix Suns, used to demand that kid brother Cody be allowed to play point guard on his teams. That experience way back when could be valuable to the Bobcats as they look to turn Zeller, the No. 4 pick, into a stretch four a power forward with the ability to shoot and distribute the ball from outside the lane.
Through eighth grade I played point guard all the time, Zeller said at morning shootaround before the Bobcats first summer-league game Friday against the San Antonio Spurs. I was a little guy.
Little being a relative term. Zeller was tall, but slight. Getting to play with all those older kids, at his brothers insistence, toughened him up and prepared him to excel in high school and at Indiana once his body started filling out.
And though you didnt see it at Indiana, where coach Tom Crean needed him in the post, Zeller retained those skills he learned as a guard. Bobcats associate head coach Patrick Ewing was struck during Zellers pre-draft workout how consistent Zeller was making NBA 3-pointers.
There was reason for surprise: In his two college seasons, Zeller attempted only two 3s and made neither.
I didnt shock myself. Ive always been able to make the three, Zeller said. I dont know what they were expecting. I didnt show it much in college but that doesnt mean I cant do it.
Coach Steve Clifford and his staff have talked a lot about putting Zeller in positions at the elbow the meeting of the foul line and the lane where he can help initiate the offense. Power forward Josh McRoberts, who the Bobcats re-signed Thursday, was a similar facilitator over the final 30 games last season.
Its been fun. Learning from new coaches is always fun for me, Zeller said of the experimentation.
Its being more of a playmaker: A lot of elbow catches, a lot of drives. Theyre giving me a lot of freedom to create plays for my teammates.

Embarkation was a little slow due to the Dream being 2 hours behind (we heard a passenger was ill) Once onboard we went lido and eat lunch.
Food - Food in general was good. all buffets we ok. Deli and pasta bar were great. Dining room was good and waiter "dada" was great. The comedian onboard said the Dream was like golden coral and motel six had a baby. I agree that the food was similar to golden coral except for lobster night. The rooms were better than motel six.
We did not stop at Nassau due to a storm which was ok with us. We got a extra day at sea and nassau is a dump anyway.
St. thomas has always been our favorite island with st. maarten a close second. this trip changed our mind. st. thomas used to be our shopping island and st. maarten our beach/excursion island. we feel that st. thomas is getting like nassau (everyone is trying to hussle you to get your money. next time we will go to beach in st. thomas and shop in st. maarten.
debarkation was very easy. we did self assist and were on the road by 7:30 am.
ship - this is a big ship except when parked beside the oasis of the seas. we thought the ship was easy to get around and never got lost. the shows on this ship were the best we have ever seen. I would put "dancing in the streets" up against any show anywhere. this ship does have movement side to side (roll) when going over 20 knts. even in calm seas it rolls. like any ship you get used to it after a little time on the boat.
Crew - we thought they did a great job.
we would go on this cruise again.

STEVEN SHEARER, who left his job as chief of staff to U.S. Rep. AARON SCHOCK, R-Peoria, to form a political action committee designed to combat the candidacy of GOP gubernatorial hopeful BRUCE RAUNER, says he's doing it to protect the party.
"I don't want to have to apologize on a routine basis for a Republican governor," Shearer said in an interview last week. "Been there, done that with GEORGE RYAN."
Shearer is chairman of the new Republican Fund for Progress & Jobs, which is officially an independent expenditure PAC. Shearer does not express a preference among the other three people in the GOP primary — state Treasurer DAN RUTHERFORD of Chenoa or state Sens. KIRK DILLARD of Hinsdale and BILL BRADY of Bloomington — saying primary voters should make their choice March 18.
The International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150, based in Countryside, donated $45,000 to the effort.
Shearer said he's approached "a number of donors, including organized labor," to help in Shearer's "mission" to inform voters.
"If they choose to nominate him, fine," Shearer said of Republican voters. "But I don't want them voting for him with half the facts or only with this concocted image."
"If I have anything to do about it, we will not nominate someone who I believe is fundamentally dishonest, a thug and a phony," Shearer said.
Those, of course, are tough words.
I shared many of the comments Shearer made with MIKE SCHRIMPF, spokesman for Rauner.
"Bruce is taking on government union bosses and the political establishment, which scares a lot of folks who prefer things the way they are," Schrimpf responded. "But the truth is the status quo is failing Illinoisans, and Bruce is the only candidate willing to shake it up."
Examples Shearer uses to back up some of his characterizations include:
* Rauner's changing positions on the minimum wage, including saying on WMAY-AM in September that raising the $8.25 state rate would be a "terrible idea" and an op-ed he wrote in the Chicago Tribune on Jan. 9 in which he said he would support raising the national minimum wage from $7.25. He told the Chicago Sun-Times he could see an increase in the federal level to $10, and if that doesn't happen, the Illinois rate could be raised along with business-friendly initiatives.
"Bruce has learned his lesson about the need to give well-thought-out responses to the issue of raising the minimum wage," Schrimpf told me during the flap over those seemingly changing positions.
Page 2 of 3 - * In a Jan. 12 news release, Shearer notes that in a WLS-AM radio appearance in Chicago, Rauner downplayed support for "right-to-work" laws. Rauner said on the radio that the concept is "not even in the top few" things needed for the state's economy. Shearer points out that on Rauner's website, under the "jobs" issue section, the second point made is "Create Right-to-Work zones and allow local communities to decide whether workers must join a union in order to get a job."
* As for the "thug" allegation, Shearer said Rauner portrays himself as a "good guy," but, "He's told Chicago donors" that he has "book on all the Republican candidates" he's running against, and "I'm going to destroy every one of them."
Shearer wouldn't say who told him that, but said two people gave similar accounts.
* Shearer said the image Rauner portrays, wearing a Carhartt jacket and talking in an ad about his $18 watch, comes up against the fact that he has a $10 million penthouse by Central Park in New York; a villa in Key Largo, Fla.; and properties or homes in Utah, Montana and Wyoming. There's also a $3.3 million home in Winnetka, a $4 million penthouse by Millennium Park in Chicago, and a second unit, also by the park, that cost $1.2 million, according to the November Chicago Tribune story that detailed the holdings. One of Rauner's daughters lives in the second Millennium unit, the Tribune said.
* Rauner's donations and close relations with Democrats, including former Chicago Mayor RICHARD DALEY. Shearer notes that Rauner is now campaigning for an eight-year term limit for public officials, but donated $150,000 to Daley in 2006 and another $50,000 to him in 2003. Daley first took office in 1989, so he had been in office more than a dozen years when he got that help from Rauner.
* Rauner also has what Shearer considers too close a relationship with Chicago Mayor RAHM EMANUEL. A 2008 New York Times story notes that after Emanuel left the staff of President BILL CLINTON, Rauner advised Emanuel to pursue investment banking. One of Emanuel's major deals, that story said, was the 2001 purchase of a home alarm business, SecurityLink, from SBC Communications, which at the time was run by WILLIAM DALEY, brother of the then-mayor and former U.S. commerce secretary. Emanuel represented GTCR Golden Rauner, the Chicago private equity firm that was buying the business for an affiliate. Rauner was chairman of the firm at the time.
The SecurityLink deal was valued at nearly $500 million. The Post said that Emanuel made more than $18 million in 2 1/2 years in investment banking, then ran for Congress.
Page 3 of 3 - Shearer notes that Emanuel — who also got financial help from Rauner when running for Congress — became chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, where he used his aggressive style to push nationwide to elect Democrats to the U.S. House.
* Rauner also gave $300,000 to ED RENDELL, a one-time head of the Democratic National Committee who also became mayor of Philadelphia and governor of Pennsylvania. Rauner has said his donation was not linked to the millions of dollars of Pennsylvania retirement funds being invested through a Rauner company.
Rauner told me in September that he wanted "to have influence with the head of the DNC so I could have discussions about education reform."
Shearer is no newcomer to the rough-and-tumble world of Illinois politics. The 55-year-old native of Spring Valley said he's a lifelong Republican and became a precinct committeeman in Bureau County at age 18 in 1976. He's now vice chairman of the Peoria County Republican Party. He interned with former U.S. House GOP Leader BOB MICHEL of Peoria, was on the Washington, D.C., staff of then-U.S. Sen. CHARLES PERCY, and spent four years with the Republican National Committee. He said he has managed hundreds of campaigns at all levels, including for former U.S. Rep. JERRY WELLER, R-Morris, and for Schock.
Shearer a year ago stopped just short of saying Rauner was behind a barrage of anti-Schock ads run in central Illinois by an Ohio-based group called Jobs and Progress Fund. Rauner said at the time he had "nothing at all" to do with the ads. Schock dropped consideration of running for governor — coincidentally or not — after those ads ran.
"I don't want him to buy the election," Shearer said of Rauner, who had income of $53 million in 2012. "I want to make sure that somebody stands up to this bully and lets Republicans know about his record."

DEFINING MOMENTS Downloadable Lessons
Using contemporary accounts, newspaper cartoons, replicas of authentic maps, and other primary sources, students explore the life of the abolitionist figure, John Brown—from his early days of agitating against slavery to the raid at Harper's Ferry to his conviction and execution.
$5.00Add to Cart | View Cart | More Info
During the three-day battle of Gettysburg, the fortunes of the Northern and Southern armies rose and fell with every passing hour. The focal points of this lesson discuss how different decisions within the battle could have altered the outcome and how a Confederate victory might have affected the course of the war.
In 1777, under the command of General John Burgoyne, the British Army attempted to divide America's colonial forces in half by controlling the route from Montreal to the Hudson Valley—a plan that ultimately collapsed with the surrender of Saratoga. How viable was the plan to begin with? How did it fail? What if it had succeeded?
This lesson focuses on Martin Luther King's significant contributions to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, including the Birmingham boycott and his spellbinding "I Have a Dream" speech, as well as the impact of his 1968 assassination. Activities include creating an ad campaign using King's image to inspire activism and speculating how he might have led a 21st-century civil rights movement.
With this lesson, students hold a mock Senate debate on the agreement that temporarily forestalled the American Civil War, including the positions of those who wanted new states free, those who wanted new states open to slavery, and those who wanted each state's citizens to decide for themselves. Students also think through possible outcomes had the Compromise in fact kept the nation at peace.
Go beyond the stereotypical images of peace signs and flower power-era hippies and involve students in the social and political forces that fostered the 1960s and 1970s counterculture. Activities focus on the important events and lasting influence of the Women's Movement, the Black Power Movement, the American Indian Movement, and the Youth Movement, and poses questions about these groups' lasting impact had a fatal drug or sexually transmitted disease spread through the Summer of Love.
In November 1980, reeling from a stagnant economy and frustrated by the Iran hostage standoff, American voters went to the polls to choose a president. Would Jimmy Carter have been reelected had he successfully dealt with the Iran hostage and oil crisis? Students will see that the election of Ronald Reagan was more than just a change in leadership; it was a wholesale political shift that would remake the country—and an example of a reemerging conservatism that was happening throughout the Western world.
Here students follow the evolution of Abraham Lincoln's position toward emancipating slaves and gauge the ramifications of the landmark proclamation on the course of the American Civil War and the future of the nation.
How devastating was the Battle of Bull Run for the defeated North? What if the Union Army had won? In this lesson, students use actual correspondence from battle participants to follow the action, and with the help of maps, devise a strategy for a Union victory that could have shortened the war dramatically.
The first encounter between Christopher Columbus and the inhabitants of Hispaniola was the beginning of widespread exchanges across the hemispheres—food, goods, gold, and, to the devastation of many Native Americans, disease. With this Defining Moment, students investigate this momentous meeting, and speculate: What if it had been the Europeans who carried home a highly infectious and deadly disease?

Undated_President Barack Obama says allowing women to serve in combat marks another step toward the country's founding ideals of fairness and equality.
Obama says in a written statement he expressed strong support for the decision to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who lifted the combat ban Thursday.
Obama says he is confident the decision _ coupled with the recent repeal of the ban on gays in the military _ will strengthen the U.S. military.
The president says, quote, ``Today, every American can be proud that our military will grow even stronger, with our mothers, wives, sisters and daughters playing a greater role in protecting this country we love.''
Fort Sill's Public Affairs Office released this statement on the Secretary of Defense's announcement.
"Because there are a lot of decision that are still to be made at the Secretary of Defense level, the successful integration of women into currently closed positions will take time to get right and requires the Department of Defense to be thoughtful and deliberate as the process unfolds. This deliberate approach to reducing gender-based barriers to women's service will provide the time necessary to integrate women into occupational fields so they can succeed and flourish. We need time to ensure that women are integrated in a way that maximizes the safety and privacy of all service members. So, it's possible that we won't see women in previously closed Field Artillery or Air Defense Artillery position until the SecDef's mandated time of 2016."

Sister singers deliver on sophomore album
The Chapin Sisters' sophomore album, "Two" displays the folk duo's raw vocal talent in a range of emotions as they continue their successful momentum since the release of their first album, "Lake Bottom LP," in 2008.
These ladies can sing, and they know how to show it. The first track, "Sweet Light," opens with strong and dark singing, followed by eerie instrumentation. It seems a little disconcerting at first, but it holds your attention and leaves you in a state of wonder.
Their voices are haunting yet comforting, and they harmonize beautifully.
Many of the songs on the album follow this example with powerful vocals and light, but profound, music backing them. Often only two or three instruments are used in a song.
"Paradise," for example, features just a sweet, melancholy piano melody backed by a soft tambourine beat. It's simple but holds interest and creates an appropriate atmosphere for the sad lyrics.
While most of the album has a somber tone to it, none of the songs are utterly depressing. The Chapin Sisters effectively emote subjects of loss and heartache without immersing themselves in them.
The sadness also has a beauty to it, which the vocals certainly enhance. It's doubtful that anyone can make lyrics like, "Why do I keep trying at romance? I am hopeless; I'll never succeed," sound as sweet as the Chapin Sisters do.
However, the album has a genuinely happy ending as it takes a more lively turn with the last two songs, "Left All Alone" and "Trouble."
The melodies in "Left All Alone" are fun and simple and the lyrics are almost playful.
"Trouble" is even more upbeat and includes a superbly utilized banjo and calls for some serious foot-tapping.
The emotions in every song on "Two" are easy to connect with, sometimes amusingly so, and create a strong relationship with the listener. This makes it a personal experience to listen through the whole album.
Abigail and Lily Chapin certainly have musical talent in their genes as they are the nieces of the late, popular folk musician, Harry Chapin ("Cat's in the Cradle").
They also often perform with their half sister, Jessica Craven, the daughter of film director and writer Wes Craven ("A Nightmare on Elm Street").
It seems the Chapin Sisters will continue the legacy of artistic success with their sophomore album being just as good as their popular debut album.
Be sure to tune in to KSLC 90.3 FM to hear tracks from the Chapin Sisters' new album, "Two."
The CD is available at www.thechapinsisters.com, and the sisters will perform Dec. 2 in Portland; a long way off but worth remembering.

London Welsh 19, Leeds Carnegie 10
London Welsh returned to the top of the Greene King IPA Championship after a battling victory at the Kassam Stadium, Oxford, today.
Having been overtaken by Rotherham, who won at Jersey yesterday, Welsh needed a home win to be sure of leading the table again.
It was far from pretty, but wing Seb Stegmann's try and 14 points from fly half Gordon Ross's boot proved enough.
Leeds scrum half James Doherty, who had earlier been sin-binned, went over for their try, while fly half Glyn Hughes kicked a penalty and a conversion.
The Exiles lead the table by just a point as they maintain their promotion push.

Jeff King: Players 'take a lot of ownership' for 'Black Monday' decisions
"You always know that it's a possibility, but until the reality comes down you don't want to believe it," King said.
This is nothing new for Arizona's veteran tight end, though. King was a member of the 2010 Carolina Panthers that went 2-14 before canning head coach John Fox on "Black Monday" after nine years of service.
Even so, King admitted to Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf that the news was still upsetting to hear from a player's perspective.
"I've been part of one of these before in Carolina when John Fox got let go and it's always a little bit unsettling," King said. "To some degree you take a lot of ownership in why a coach got fired."
There are plenty of reasons that likely led to the decision to fire Whisenhunt Monday, but as King noted, at the end of the season all that matters are wins and losses. While 2012 began with so much promise as the Cardinals raced out to a 4-0 record, a 1-11 finish combined with season-long issues at quarterback and along the O-line didn't help matters for the offensive-minded Whisenhunt.
"Ultimately, it falls on the players to make plays, and we didn't make enough for coach and Rod Graves to keep their jobs in the eyes of Mr. Bidwill," said King. "It's a bittersweet day.
"We just finished another season in the NFL, which you should be proud to do. But on the other hand, a guy who you looked up to [in Ken Whisenhunt], and for me, a guy who brought me to Arizona [in Rod Graves] were fired, which makes it tough."
King, who had 17 catches for 129 yards in 2012, was signed by Graves to a three-year deal in July 2011.
While Arizona finished 2012 with a higher win total than Carolina had in 2010, the former Virginia Tech star said he did see parallels between Fox's and Whisenhunt's departures.
"There are a lot of parallels between the two from the way they both went out to the uncertainty we had at the quarterback position in Carolina those last couple of years," said King. "Now, with what we are going through in Arizona, it's very similar to what happened before."
For fans in the Valley, the parallels between the two teams will hopefully end there. The Panthers hired Ron Rivera to replace Fox in 2011. In two seasons under Rivera, Carolina is just 11-21.

UPDATE: 06/25 5:40 p.m.The day's events started out just as Monday's finished with Judge Corwin's testimony. Corwin showed a lot of repetition, saying an affair is not what he wanted. He thought he and the court reporter had a miscommunication that could not be fixed, so he switched teams to not have to work with her.
The formal hearing for Judge Wickham Corwin, accused of sexually harassing a court reporter that worked with him began Monday at the Holiday Inn in Fargo.
It is at the Holiday Inn because it is not involving criminal charges, but rather if Corwin violated the cannons of judicial code with the alleged harassment. If he did, the Judicial Conduct Committee will determine what penalties will be applied.
The court reporter worked on a team with Judge Corwin and Judge Wade Webb. She alleges that he made several passes at her, trying to propose an affair.
An attorney representing Corwin, Ronald McLean, says Corwin never wanted anything more than a cordial relationship with the court reporter.
McLean said in opening statements that these allegations only came to light because Corwin brought them forward to the Court Administrator. He said the accusation is "inflammatory" and only hurts Corwin.
The court reporter took the stand Monday morning.
Brett Edison is Assistant Disciplinary Counsel for the Judicial Conduct Commission. He spent the morning going through several incidents between Corwin and the court reporter.
Edison discussed a specific incident where Corwin invited the court reporter on a bike ride. The court reporter said after the ride he invited her inside for a glass of wine. It was in the kitchen that she says Corwin hugged her and tried to kiss her.
She said during their glass of wine he proposed an affair. Right away, she says she made it clear it was not a good idea.
In her testimony, she says several times Corwin brought up the relationship asking if she thought any more about it. She says he also asked her to go to lunch multiple times, but she refused many of those when she was able to.
She says she "had the impression that he was not going to take no for an answer." The court reporter added that she thought he knew she was uncomfortable, so he tried to initiate discussions that were not work related.
E-mails between Corwin and the court reporter were also introduced. They showed her saying she did not want to be involved in any relationship whatsoever.
At one point the court reporter said Corwin told her, "If we were still at the law firm, I would have taken care of you a long time ago." She said this referred to him wanting her removed.
She said Corwin did several things trying to make her quit, but in the end he ended up switching to a different team to no longer have to work with her.
Judge Wade Webb also took the stand. He said the court reporter was always "prompt, courteous, a good professional."
Webb had testified that he started to see a change in her personal demeanor. He said she wanted to use him as a reference because she was applying for new jobs.
At a later time Webb indicated that she told him, "Corwin is bothering me."
McLean then questioned Webb. He noted that Webb had never spoken to Corwin or made a complaint about what was allegedly happening.
McLean then cross-examined the court reporter. He read an email that showed Corwin attempted many times to clear things up. He said Corwin had known there were communication problems.
In the email Corwin said, "I have no desire to hurt you or your job."
McLean made it known that there was no overt talk about sex after the bike ride incident. He says Corwin admits he made a mistake in that instance.
The court reporter also said, "We got along fine as long as work was the only thing discussed."
McLean argued that there was no grievance or complaint filed at the time of the incidents, and that Corwin was only trying to create the cordial relationship between the two since they worked together.
The court reporter is now working with a different judge along with Webb, and she says, "Things are excellent."
Testimony continued through the afternoon. Court Administrator Rod Olson testified that Corwin had brought up needing to talk to him about an issue, after addressing issues with the court reporter in a bi-annual review.
Olson said Corwin told him about the night of the bike ride with a conversation of where to take the relationship with her next. Olson said Corwin told him, "I said things I wish I had not said."
Corwin admitted to Olson several instances where he approached the court reporter trying to fix communication issues. In the end, he said it was best to move Corwin to a different team to work with.
McLean pointed out that from 2009 to 2012, there were no formal complaints filed by the court reporter. He also wanted everyone to know no one else has come forward to complain.
Sally Holewa, the State Court Administrator testified next. She said, in interviewing Corwin, he told her an affair "could be implied given (his) the marital status."
But she said Corwin told her he never made any openly sexual moves or tried to touch the court reporter inappropriately.
Final testimony on Monday came with Judge Corwin. He said of everything, "It was a mistake of mine, one that I regret."
He testified that the night of the bike ride, he and the court reporter talked about her divorce. He said she had mentioned it is a mistake to get involved with a boss. He responded that not all office romances end in disaster.
Corwin said it was getting late, and he said he would take her home. In the kitchen, he said, "We put our arms around each other and we kissed."
He continued to talk about the mistake he made with her and added he probably made things worse by trying to fix them.
He said he told her if there were any lingering concerns about him making a move and wanting a relationship that they should talk about it. He said she shrugged it off as if they had moved on.
Corwin said there was no excuse for his actions. He said a judge is not expected to interact in the way he did with staff, especially with some of the things he said to her.
Testimony ended for the day at 3:45 p.m., but it will continue Tuesday morning with more witnesses to be called.
It will also be decided Tuesday morning how final arguments will be presented and where the hearing goes from here.
Stay tuned for more updates.
A disciplinary hearing on sexual harassment accusations against Cass County District Court Judge Wickham Corwin entered its final day Tuesday.
Corwin is being reviewed on whether or not he sexually harassed a court reporter and three other charges involving his conduct as a judge.
When the attorney representing the Judicial Commission, Brent Edison, questioned Corwin, Corwin admitted that the court reporter may have thought, by his actions, that he wanted an affair.
That could prove to be important because the panel only needs to see that the actions could be perceived as sexual harassment.
Several other witnesses, who know Corwin, also testified. They said he never showed anger, and they never felt uncomfortable around him.
Testimony has concluded, but the case is far from over as final arguments still need to be written before the panel gets to decide.
Edison says, "The panel will then take it under advisement, and they'll exercise their options to dismiss this case, or impose discipline, make a recommendation to the North Dakota Supreme Court, and then the court has the potential to review that."
It could be months before a decision is announced on whether or not Corwin broke judicial code.
The attorneys will have nearly two months to write their final arguments, and the panel will have two months to review everything. Even at that point, the case could be argued before the State Supreme Court.
The judiciary panel will get to decide whether or not to dismiss the case or apply penalties. If the panel decides discipline is necessary, it can recommend measures, but the Supreme Court would need to approve the measures.
Penalties range from the Court expressing disapproval of Corwin's actions to the Supreme Court removing him from the bench.

$193 million and $176 million worldwide. Those are box office hauls of "Paranormal Activity" and "Paranormal Activity 2," and those are the two primary reasons that "Paranormal Activity 3" is on the way and by the looks of the first trailer, the filmmakers are taking a "if -it-ain't-broke-don't-fix-it" approach.
This time around Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost, the duo behind last year's controversial "Catfish," are directing the film which as a script from Christopher B. Landon, who wrote the first entry in the franchise and overall, no one is deviating much from the found footage approach. Not much to else to say really. The trailer gives you what you totally except, and while the "Bloody Mary" game sequence is pretty nifty, the reveal is pretty dull, though audiences love jump scares, so we're sure it will do just fine. And oh yeah, judging by the video timestamp, looks like we're in prequel (or at least flashback) territory...
"Paranormal Activity 3" will turn out the lights and crank up the volume on October 21st, just in time for Hallowe'en. Trailer below.

fucking lame trailer. the found footage material at time looks too cinematic. These guys manipulated the circumstances well with catfish but I'm not convinced they are skilled filmic storytellers. FLOP

judging by the time stamp, or the side ponytails
Benjamin | July 21, 2011 9:40 AM
I am glad to see these guys' careers extending past an 'it' movie at Sundance. Can't wait to see what they bring to the franchise, though it already looks fairly original. I love that they are challenging themselves by doing a prequel set in the 80's rather than a film with advanced technology. It sets up more barriers story wise.
I also like that the series is going completely backwards on the timeline as opposed to forward. Interesting stuff.
dicknbunz | July 21, 2011 9:30 AM
it's a shame that i'll probably watch this which means i'll be supporting those smug pricks who directed Catfish. I'd rather cram my twelve dollars directly up their asses.

Our veranda stateroom was not particularly any better than other cruise ships we have been on, but the difference is the staff (including the Captain and the ships' officers). You really get the impression that the staff want to make your cruise as enjoyable and memorable as possible. Without exception, all the staff we encountered were very friendly and eager to help.
Other than the size of the ship and it's friendly staff, the other big winners for us were::
- gratuities are included in the cost of the cruise
- shore excursions booked before the cruise (on-line) cost half the the normal rate and compared to some cruise ships, the tour costs are very reasonable
- free shuttle buses are provided at ports
- a good selection of wines is provided with meals; soft drinks, bottled water and specialty coffees are also provided free of charge 24 hours a day.
- longer stopovers are made in some ports.
We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise on the Azamara Journey and we will most definitely do on another cruise with Azamara Club Cruises.

Danilo Gallinari went down with a knee injury during the Denver Nuggets' game against the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday. The injury occurred during the second quarter.
Gallinari was driving to the rim when his knee turned. He immediately grimaced in pain and hopped off the court while clutching his knee.
He was tended to on a stretcher, but walked back to the locker room with the help of teammates. This is a critical loss for a Nuggets team that is also dealing with Ty Lawson's injury going into the playoffs.
On the season, Gallinari is averaging 16.3 points per game while shooting 37.6 percent from beyond the arc. Gallinari is the Nuggets' second-leading scorer, behind Lawson's 16.5 points per game.
Denver is currently the third seed in the Western Conference, but is still engaged in tight race. The team could potentially fall to the fifth seed if they struggle to close out what has been a strong season. With home court advantage still on the line in their final games, the status of Gallinari could be the tipping point.
The Nuggets have announced that he is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Friday.

Law Schools
National Jurist rankings conflict with US News' top choices; law prof blasts methodology
Posted Feb 12, 2013 10:57 AM CDT
By Martha Neil
Updated: Law school rankings put together by National Jurist (sub. req.) are quite different than the law school rankings compiled by U.S. News & World Report.
In first, second and third place on the National Jurist list are the law schools at Stanford University, the University of Virginia and the University of California-Berkeley, notes Paul Caron on a TaxProf Blog post Tuesday.
Harvard University is ranked sixth, topped by the University of Alabama, in fifth place, and Yale University is listed in 13th place.
Caron's blog post gives a complete list of the top 50 rankings, and details the National Jurist methodology. What the magazine terms post-graduate success counts for half of the formula, including the employment rate for graduates, which comprises 22.5 percent of the overall ranking. Student satisfaction counts for 35 percent and affordability and diversity is another 15 percent.
While the latest U.S. News rankings also list Stanford, Virginia and Berkeley in the top 10, and another three law schools also make both lists, the top five National Jurist and U.S. News rankings, except for Stanford, are completely different.
And perhaps that's understandable, given the "somewhat more baroque methodology" National Jurist used, University of Chicago law professor Brian Leiter wrote at Brian Leiter's Law School Reports.
The number of Super Lawyers alumni accounted for 12.5 percent of a school's score, Leiter wrote, and 20 percent of a school's score is based on Rate My Professors, which Leiter says is mainly used by undergraduates, not law students. Leiter looked at the University of Chicago Law School's listings on the site and discovered a low response rate and a slew of inaccuracies. He himself is listed as a member of the philosophy department rather than the law school. "In short, 20 percent of the overall score is fraudulent on its face. And it's that 20 percent that explains all the variance."
Bloomberg Law interviewed National Jurist editor Jack Crittenden, who said that Rate My Professors metrics were not included for every school on the list. "A number of schools simply don't get a grade for that, because there weren't enough responses," he said. "And the others that we felt, however, there was enough response, we felt that the value outweighed the questionability of the data. And, more important, we feel that the studies show that the data on there is fairly close to what schools are getting on their own internal evaluations."

Gail Albert Halaban photographs communities of mothers. Like an anthropologist, she portrays the private lives of these women as they journey from single life through motherhood. At first glance, they seem to have everything — education, elegance, wealth, and family. Yet for these women, such advantages are not without conflict. They must weigh having children with the desire to maintain an identity as it was prior to entering this stage of motherhood.

The Argentine artist res, working with collaborator Constanza Piaggio, has produced a remarkable new series entitled
. Each piece is a painstaking recreation of an iconic piece of western art by painters such as Velazquez, da Vinci, and Picasso. In the process of translating the original work from canvas to photograph, res makes alterations that recontextualize the subject and its themes through contemporary perspectives on spirituality, philosophy, politics, and the centuries-old process of image-making.

Approaching Nowhere
, Jeff Brouws surveys the evolving cultural landscapes of rural, urban and suburban America, from secondary highways to strip malls to decimated industrial sites and inner city housing. Combining bleak beauty with anthropological inquiry, he seeks the significance behind the cycle of construction, decline and renewal. Brouws' photographs go beyond mere description and gather layered meaning, often functioning as antipodal metaphors or asking sociological questions. When captured by his lens, deserted streets and freeways evoke the restlessness of an uncertain nation, and communicate a low-lying foreboding.

Small Wonders
is an exhibition of photographs that are diminutive in size, yet masterful in execution. As the title implies, none of the pieces in the exhibition is larger than 4x5 inches. Although it has become fashionable to make massive photographs, the small — in some cases tiny — pictures in this exhibition offer a different kind of viewing experience.

In 1975, the landmark exhibition
New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape
opened at the International Museum of Photography at George Eastman House in Rochester, New York. Joe Deal and colleagues Robert Adams, Lewis Baltz, Bernd & Hilla Becher, Frank Gohlke, Nicholas Nixon, John Schott, Stephen Shore, and Henry Wessel rejected the romanticism of their predecessors and attempted to achieve a more accurate depiction of contemporary society by framing their images with emotional indifference. Deal's photographs of suburban encroachment on nature dispelled the myth of the American West as an untamed wilderness, and demanded that we question the outcome of rampant commercial development.

Silvio Wolf's photographs explore thresholds that simultaneously unite and divide. Working mostly in uninhabited spaces, Wolf reduces his subjects to fields of color and geometrical planes of light. He documents still and timeless places, and uses his lens to convert them into codependent spaces which, as he explains, "could not exist should one of them disappear." Wolf's photographs are meditations on absence and presence — whether of tangible or metaphysical forms.

In her debut exhibition,
Second Nature
, Mary Mattingly looks at the distant future of the human race. After the fall of post-industrial civilization, nomads wear their homes on their backs like snails, using patched-together machines to gather resources from the ravaged environment. Forced to be self-sufficient, this new breed of human is detached from its fellow wanderers, isolated in austere but beautiful landscapes, preoccupied with the need for survival.

This podcast was recorded in two parts. First was a drive to work this morning in which I tried to provide an update on the ongoing reclamation project. It turns out that there are nearly 200 recordings I've made over the past decade now available on this blog. During the drive, while trying make sense of what I've been doing I mentioned an old note I discovered last night that pointed to an old Jean Shepherd radio program that I listened to at some point in the past through Max Schmid's Mass Backwards podcast. And because the topic of that 1968 radio show pertained to some of what I've been experiencing lately, I decided to listen to again last night.
In that episode, Shepherd spoke about Krapp's Last Tape and Vic and Sade. By the time I arrived at the teaching factory where I work, I realized I was becoming confused about when I heard the Shepherd recording and how it might have influenced my listening habits and thoughts about recorded audio in the intervening time. So I played an excerpt from Shepherd talking about Krapp.
The second part of the podcast is a monolog I did later this evening after doing a bit of research into the various points that came up during the morning drive. The result of that brief research is that I find myself in way over my head. And then I remembered what it was that I'd originally intended to talk about before getting distracted by Shep's show from '68 this morning. And that topic was the experience of relistening to an old Tokyo Calling episode which I also listened to last night.
Ultimately the thing ended with a whole bunch of loose ends that hopefully can be tied up this Friday at 19:30 AST live BluePhase transmission on ds106radio.
At some point toward the end, I think I recommended a fun sight for listening to old time radio. On that site is also a link to a pretty nifty app for listening to the same archive.

Let's not get things twisted. "The Monster Tour" may be billed equally between Eminem and Rihanna, but it's really "The Eminem Show."

Since Kim Kardashian and Beyoncé got buddied up, sources say Solange Knowles is not having it.
She may be the little sister, but Solange says her superstar sibling is way too big to be friends with people who have nothing to show for, except some played out sex tapes.
"In Solange's eyes, Beyoncé is a stand-out star, a premiere singer of our time, whereas Kim is just a reality star who only got famous after a sex tape was leaked," a source told The National Enquirer.

Hi, I have tried links to 3 different audio file types(.mp3, .amr and .rm) on a XHTML page. Many of the phones we test w/ try to completely download the files and then you have the option to play. I have tried different mime types (audio/x-mp3, audio/x-rn-3gpp-amr, audio/x-pn-realaudio).
As mentioned, there is either a complete file download or a content not supported message. Can someone tell me where to start looking for the problem? Again, I need the audio to stream.
Also, I have tried the xhtml <object> for sound/audio, but that does not seem to be supported by any phones.
