Today I had the best dunkelweizen I have ever had...what a great beer.Poured into my Brooklyn & Schneider Hopfen-Weisse glass a deep russett brown with a blooming cappuccino colored head that settled into a creamy froth after leaving multiple rings of scum behind,creamy is a great word to describe for many things about this beer.A great aroma with real assertive banana notes along with vanilla wafers,can someone say banana puddin?To go along with banana pudding notes a subtle clove and chocolate element comes into play aroma-wise.Mouthfeel is airy and full,it glides down with such ease honestly its scary.Flavors of bananas dipped in chocolate with a tinge of earth giving it an american twist,the clove-like spice is subtle.Wow what a great beer,Iam hop head to the core but when I drink a gem like this I know it,get yourself some of this.

The beer pours a dark brown color with a large, off-white head. The aroma is heavy on the wheat and roasted malt, with a little bit of pepper and cloves. The flavor is more of the same. I get some dark fruit, caramel malt, molasses, wheat and pepper. Very drinkable, with only a little bit of the 9 percent ABV showing. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. A very nice dunkelweizen and another good Lips of Faith beer.

Pours a mostly clear chocolate brown color with a big, foamy beige head. Aroma of banana, clove, caramel malts, chocolate, sweet bread, and spices. Flavor of banana, sweet bread, caramel, nuts, toast, mild spices, and brown sugar. Medium-bodied, with a good deal of soft carbonation and a sweet bready mouthfeel. Good dunkelweizen.

On-tap at the Porter Beer Bar in Atlanta.
Pours a slightly hazy dark brown color with a one-finger tan head. The head dissipates into a thin layer on top leaving solid lacing.
Smells of smooth dark malts with large amounts of overripe bananas. Also present are hints of indistinct spices and larger amounts of toffee.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Smooth dark malts with a hint of wheat twang kick things off and are joined quickly by soft banana flavors. Midway through the sip very slight amounts of bruised pear flavors make an appearance before being run off by moderate amounts of earthy hops. Near the end of the sip the flavors sweeten with the addition of light toffee and deep caramel malts. The hops, dark malt, and caramel malts fade out into a mildly bitter ending.
Mouthfeel is very good. It's got a nice thickness with grainy carbonation.
Drinkability is also very good. I finished my glass quickly and could easily have a few more.
Overall this was an easy-drinking version of the style that was heavier on the malt profile than most. Not as complex as the world-class examples but a nice beer nonetheless. Worth a shot.

(Served in a dimple mug)
A- This beer pours a dark dense brown body with a billowy off-white head that has a strong sea of carbonation that glides up through the body.
S- The dry hop note gives way to a dark melanoidin nougaty aroma with some soft yeasty note as the beer warms.
T- The wheat bread taste takes on some green plantain earthy yeast qualities and some roasted dark notes that are followed by a fresh bubble gum ester note that remains soft. The finish is a soft bread crust note that is pretty clean with a green hop snap to finish of the taste.
M- The mouthfeel is a medium-light texture with a soft fizz finish. There is no alcohol heat showing up in this beer.
O- This beer has a full dark wheat flavor with soft melanoidin qualities and softer yeast esters that add nice depth and are a bit different than the traditional hefe characters. The black pepper is very well hidden.

22oz. bottle with purple and gold label printed directly on the glass.
Served cool into a NB goblet, Dunkel Weiss is a very dark redish brown color with less than perfect clarity. The head is bone white with tight little bubbles. As it slowly settles, it leaves some nice lacing behind.
Aroma is really nice and surprisingly intense. Much like many German dark wheat ales, this one gives you those clove, banana, and bubblegum notes. In addition, there seems to be vanilla and caramel.
The flavor is again like a more intense traditional dunkelweizen. It has sweetness up front that leads to roasted malts and bitterness in the middle and finally finishes with that clove spiciness. It's really well balanced despite the strength and variety of flavors.
Mouthfeel is medium-plus body with creamy smooth carbonation. The alcohol is pretty well hidden for being a new bottle of 9% ABV.
Overall a really impressive version of this classic style. It may be one of the best Lips of Faith series beers I've had.

Bottle from Rileys in Madison. Really tasty stuff, above average mouthfeel. Great malting, with cocoa nibs and wheat. Was terrific appetizer for a good supper. Pours very dark brown. Very pleasant malt aromas. A little coca cola.Bannana, not much cloves.

Poured from a 22oz bomber into my Aventinus weizenbock glass. Surprisingly dark brown body, largely clear with faint auburn highlights and mahogany highlights. A small dark beige head anoints the surface. Delicate pasty lacing, shimmering legs, and decent retention.
Potent banana and bubble gum aromatics, with a touch of clove, and brandy dipped bread dough.
Ester-heavy flavor profile, with banana and hints of vanilla leading the way, balanced by a rich maltiness, a grainy, faintly tart wheat base, and a long spicy finish, owing I think to the addition of black pepper rather than yeast-derived phenols.
Alcohol is rather high for the style, making this decidedly more filling than rejuvenating, though the soft, pillowy, effervescent, medium-bodied feel is well done.
Interesting change of pace for the sour-heavy Lips of Faith series - wasn't expecting much, but this is pretty tasty actually.

Nice and dark pour, two fingers slight off white head, leaves a thick Styrofoam lacing.
Smells of ripe oranges and sweet malts
Oh man, mowed grass, salt lentil soup yum, banana, clove heavy, barley barley barley, and yes sir, citrus kicks and deep dark wheat and pinto beans. This is a killer unique flavor. Much better job than their bs attempt at Sahti.
Medium to heavy body with a mouthful of carbonation. Solid.
I would recommend this to the experimental drinker, its a unique drank son! Not sure how much I could put down tho, probably just the bomber.

A - dark mahogany pour with a massive rocky top head that sticks around... and to my face. Perfect presentation of a dunkel. I cant say Ive been more visually impressed by an American Dunkel.
S- Banana and clove, lightly roasted malts and bready wheat notes. Rich and hearty smelling. Very nice.
T- smooth and creamy malts up front that slowly fade, giving way to a light roasted bitterness. a very nice wheat heartiness throughout.Chocolate and Banana notes linger, with a touch of spice in the finish. A truly excellent beer.
M - nice full body without being overly rich and thick. Spot on for the style.
D - not a hint of the 9% ABV anywhere. I would drown myself in this stuff. The best American Dunkel i have had the opportunity to enjoy. Bravo! New Belgium.

22 oz. bottle poured into a tulip glass.
Appearance-Deep dark brown in color with ruby highlights and brilliant clarity. Large Pale tan head slowly subsides with good retention and nice lacing.
Aroma-Smells like a typical dunkelweiss, only bigger. Rich, overripe banana esters and strong clove phenolics take charge, followed by bready wheat and light toast and chocolate. Some alcohol makes up the aroma as well. Background note of caramel/raisin/prune.
Flavor-Moist banana bread and moderate clove upfront, before mellowing to a quite complex malt (and even some hops!) profile. In steps malt character of bread, wheat, bread crusts, chocolate, and toast. Smoke phenolics combine with light earthy hops in the finish, which seems to go on and on forever. Flavor-wise, the alcohol is almost entirely imperceptible.
Mouthfeel-Medium full, silky smooth body. Moderate to moderately high carbonation. Some substantial alcohol warmth is the only place where the alcohol makes itself none.
I wish the carbonation had been a little higher, because then this beer may have been perfect. Bringing in a Dunkelweiss at 9%, I kinda expected a boozy mess, but the alcohol is all but imperceptible, and the flavor profile is complex, balanced, and delicious. Bravo.

Picked this up at Goebbel's in Wichita...
Pours chestnut with 4+ fingers of tan colored head. Above average head retention & lacing
S: Yeasty pepper, apricot, juicy fruit gum
T: Follows the nose, also over-ripe persimmons, a touch of brown bread, & green bananas up front. Green bananas, apricots & persimmons dominate as this warms along with phenolic spicyness to include cinnamon notes & much white pepper. Finishes spicy & fruitty & grainy with some gingerbread notes
MF: Medium bodied, low carbonation
Pretty good, but I found it a touch too spicy, the booze is well hidden in this one. Beware, this too easy to drink!

Poured very dark with some nice ruby highlights, a monster head, a belgian like 6 inches of creamyness that left tons of sticky lacing.
The smell was very german, big banana bread and clove with sweet dark raisony fruit.
The flavor is very full and complex with a nice big chocolate maltyness up front mixing in with bananas, dates, raisons, cherries and some spices along with a strong yeast character. The hops are a bit subdued, but are lingering in the background to balance out the sweetness a bit.
The mouthfeel has a dry powdery quality along with some nice carbonation.
Overall a pretty solid and enjoyable Dunkel.

Served from tap into an imperial pint glass. Poured a reddish brown with a one and a half finger very light tan head. Maintained excellent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, clove, banana, alcohol, and a slight roastiness. The flavor was of sweet malt, banana, clove, slight alcohol, and slight roastiness. It had a light feel on the palate with medium-high carbonation. Overall this was a pretty good brew and a very nice Dunkel. The aroma was quite nice and I really liked the slight alcohol aroma that it was giving off with the typical Hefe notes. The flavor was very nicely balanced and at 9% the alcohol was not palate invasive at all. For the style, this one is top-notch in my opinion. A definite must try.

Since it is a collective noun "this furniture" refers to two or more pieces - "this piece of furniture" is ONE piece; "these pieces of furniture" could also be used as a plural. To be more specific you can say "these three pieces of furniture."
Confusing, huh?

Bo Dietl, former NYPD detective, weighs in on the stories making the biggest headlines during GDNY including the school bus driver strike in New York City.
On Friday, the National Labor Relations Board deemed the strike legal and that it would not end the work stoppage which began on Jan. 16.
"I support unions. But they have to carve out for these kids—severely disabled—which have been disproportionately affected by school bus driver strike," said Dietl.

They are the faces of two people well known in the Franklin County community. Angela Nolen and Cathy Bennett, a teacher and nurse a Sontag Elementary School. State police arrested them for trying to hire a hit man to kill Nolen's ex husband, Paul Strickler. For folks in the area, these are two faces they never imagined would be linked to such a crime.
"Sort of makes me wonder if this is really her, you know, is this the same person I used to know," says mother, Crystal Perdue.
Perdue says Nolen taught her son. She was shocked when she looked on Facebook she would see the news and her picture next to it.
"She was a good teacher, stayed on top of stuff. She let me know when my son was acting up in school, she let me know. I liked her," says Perdue.
Police say Bennett helped hire the hit man. On Tuesday night, Nolen met an undercover agent and gave him $4,000 to kill her ex husband, and would give him another four-thousand dollars when the killing was carried out. Both women are behind bars and face felony charges of solicitation to commit murder. It is the talk of the town, and on everyone's mind, including Gary McGuire's.
"It is shocking, you just never know who is there," says McGuire.
McGuire went to Sontag Elementary School, and his grandson will be going there in September. The news doesn't make him think twice about the safety of the students, or anyone living in the area.
"There are a lot of good people at Sontag school that I know personally," says McGuire.
School officials assured folks their children were never in any danger, and nothing was done on school property.

Maricopa County app tracks air quality

PHOENIX -- If you struggle with breathing problems and have a smart phone, the Maricopa County Air Quality Department has an app for that.
The agency rolled out the app last September and the popularity has exceeded expectations.
"Our goal was to have 2,500 people download the app by the end of the fiscal year, which is June," said spokesman Bob Huhn. "We surpassed that. We're around 4,600 right now."
The mobile app provides the most up-to-date air quality forecasts, air quality restrictions and the ability to report an air quality problem.
The app is free to download and is available in the Apple app store and Google Play, as well as at CleanAirMakeMore.com.

Michael Cobbins blocked a shot then converted a fast-break layup with two-tenths of a second left in overtime, lifting No. 22 Oklahoma State over Baylor 69-67 on Wednesday night.
Marcus Smart scored 14 points and Markel Brown added 13 for Oklahoma State (16-5, 6-3 Big 12 Conference), which blew a 14-point lead in the final 7:40 of regulation and twice trailed by three points in overtime before extending its winning streak to four games.
Baylor (14-8, 5-4) had a chance to win in the final seconds of overtime, but Cobbins blocked a shot attempt by A.J. Walton under the basket, then raced to the other end and made the winning layup. Markel Brown intercepted a desperation inbound pass by Baylor's Jacob Neubert to end the game.

RALEIGH — When most people think of service workers, they think of retail jobs, fast-food workers or other positions characterized by low pay and part-time hours.
But the $13.9 trillion sector also includes scientists, environmental consultants, landscapers and exterminators. In fact, those professions are the top performing service industries, according to an October report by IBISWorld, a market research company.
Growth in the top two sectors scientific and economic consulting and environmental consulting is being driven by the broad range of companies that fall under those definitions and rapidly changing science and technology, said Lewis Sheats, entrepreneurship instructor at N.C. State Universitys Poole College of Management.
Here is a closer look at the two areas, as well as two Triangle companies that are successfully navigating.
Science and the economy
The scientific and economic consulting industry has thrived thanks to its range of diverse markets and specializations in a variety of products and services, according to an August 2013 IBISWorld report on the sector. Mining and energy firms seeking feasibility studies also contributed to the industrys expansion.
The industry includes more than 138,000 businesses that have brought in about $27.4 billion in revenue.
The sectors primary activities include economic, agriculture, biological, scientific, energy, horticulture, livestock breeding, nuclear energy, safety, and security consulting services.
Advanced Cell & Gene Therapy was founded in Chapel Hill as Dr. Scott Burger sought to provide broad services to the specific niche of cell, gene and tissue therapies.
Burger, who received his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania, was trained in clinical pathology and did a fellowship in blood banking, which supported cell therapy.
Blood banks needed to know how to make cellular products that could be administered to patients, he said. So a lot of the early history of cell therapy is in line with transfusion medicine.
After spending most of his career working for academic medical centers, Burger decided in 2002 to start a consulting practice in the advanced therapy field that was growing into its own, Burger said.
The companys services range from clinical development of novel cell therapies to the development of a controlled manufacturing process for its products. Clients range from startups and academic centers to large pharmaceutical businesses.
We do this around the world, Burger said.
The company deals with about 20 clients a year, with about five of those occupying most of Bergers time. Projects costs range from $1,500 to $3.5 million, Burger said.
More likely well get involved in due diligence, or in technology transfer, and that turns into charting the regulatory pathway, and that turns into developing the manufacturing process, Burger said.
Burger does the bulk of the consulting, but the company is affiliated with six people in different locations around the world.
Burger said his startup costs were minimal as he had the idea and started building from there.
It is probably fair to say that I was too foolish about business, he said. It worked since I didnt know better.
Consulting on environment
The $16.6 billion environmental consulting sector has also grown over the past five years, fueled by the demand for sustainability and preservation, according to an August 2013 IBISWord report. Primary activities in the industry, which has more than 64,000 businesses, include consulting services on risk evaluation, air and water quality, site remediation, and sustainable development consulting.
Jason Massey and Mason Weems started Sustainable Industrial Solutions after the co-founders were approached by the Zebulon-based Noël Group, which wanted to make its manufacturing facility more energy efficient.
Instead of becoming part of the Noël Group, Massey and Weems decided to start their own firm in Durham in early 2011 with $300,000 in seed capital from the Noël Group.
We decided rather than us just be a division of the Noël family businesses, that we would spin it out and create a separate company, that would be SIS, Massey said. So we started going after companies similar to the Noël companies.
The seed money was used on software development and prototyping, along with additional hires. The company has six full-time employees, and six contractors. Massey said they are raising money to expand and bring in 20 more employees.
The companys services include software that allows real-time energy resource monitoring; energy efficiency implementation, which is the construction side of the business with projects such as the lighting and heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning upgrades; and sustainability advisory, which includes the environmental impact of energy efficiency, resource efficiency and waste reduction.
Thats where we will say, This is the environmental impact of the upgrade. This is how you need to talk about it in the marketplace to your customers, to you stake holders, to you employees, he said.
Sustainable Industrial Solutions has about 10 clients, mainly mid-tier manufacturers, such as Burts Bees and a Noël Group manufacturing company that makes foam insulation.
Projects range from a $15,000 audit assessment to a $1 million solar project, Massey said. On average projects take about a year and cost between $150,000 and $200,000.
Challenges include convincing companies to make the investment in sustainability and reducing environmental impacts, he said.
Getting the language articulated in a way that the (chief financial officer) or CEO feels comfortable actually writing a check and making an investment in those types of projects, Massey said.

text: This was my very first cruise and thanks to Holland America & the Volendam, I can't wait to for my next cruise to some destination. Here are my observations.Embarkation:We arrived at the Canada Place cruise ship terminal early enough to be the first group to be brought on board. We found out that we had to leave our suitcases with the cruise ship terminal porters, who helped us attach Volendam luggage tags so that they would end up on the correct ship.Next was the security check as US Customs and Immigration, which went smoothly. Right before boarding, we had the Embarkation photos taken as well as being given a coupon book to shops on our ports of call.Stateroom:It's truly amazing just how much can be fit into such a small space. I was most impressed that all cabins appeared to have a bathtub standard. The bathroom also features a cabinet behind the mirror to keep all the healthy and beauty items. There is one hair dryer mounted on the mirror but I also found another one in a work desk drawer.The stateroom had three closets with adjustable shelves. One for the suitcases, and one each for the two people sharing the room. The room also features a work desk with chair, sofa, table and small bedside drawers on each side of the combined twin bed as we were a couple.Robes are included, as well as a safe that works with any card with a magnetic stripe (as long as it is not your stateroom key). The rooms are cleaned twice each day, with two chocolates delivered at night.If you have electronics that need recharging, bring an extension cord and/or power bar. I found only one outlet.Public Area Decor & Musical Entertainment:Very nice paintings and other works of art can be found all around the ship. Our voyage had a classical duo (the most well received by fellow passengers I spoke with), a piano man Don, a solo guitarist, and a quartet (Jenny and the HALcats) playing the latest tunes. Shops:There seems to be more sales toward the end of the cruise, so abstain for purchasing any gifts at the beginning. The shops include jewelry, alcohol, and a gift shop on Deck 5.Deck 5 Cafe, Library, and Computer LabThe Inspirations cafe provides sweets and coffee for a modest additional cost. This is also where computer terminals for internet access can be found. Be warned, the rates are very pricey and the speed will be slower than what is available on land. The library not only features many books but family games, chess board, and a scrabble table. When selecting a book, be aware that the the shelves are automatically closed in the late evening. The Computer lab offers computer courses around the Windows 8 operating system. It was remarkably informative.Casino:Also on deck 5 is the casino with slots, pachinko, and table games. There are slots, poker, and blackjack tournaments on various days.Deck 8 Food: the LidoLido is the place to get self-service food. Be aware that the first 48 hours will have the crew serving you for hygenic reasons. They are open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even a late night snack. Check each day's itinerary for the exact times. Deck 4/5 Food: Rotterdam Dining RoomPassengers have the choice between reserved seating and coming in without a reservation but this usually means sharing a table with others (a great way to meet new people). Food selections vary by the day on the menu but there are some items that are offered everyday.Dessert Night: Check you itinerary for dessert night, held on just one of the 7 nights. Very tempting offerings can be found on deck 8 by the central swimming pool (not the one at the rear of the ship).Deck 9: Crow's Nest NightclubThis was the place to go at night for a drink, dancing, karaoke, and Name That Tune games.Observation decks:Plenty of space for people to get a good view of the wonderful Alaska landscape.Spa & Gym:We went to a seminar held to a gym where I learned quite a bit about detoxification of the body but also found out what state the body can be in to never contract cancer!Daily Movies:There is a movie of the day shown twice or 3 times a day in the Wajang theater on Deck 4. Movies presented on our voyage included, "Silver Linings Playbook", "Skyfall", "Life of Pi", "White Fang", "Oz", and "Promised Land". Popcorn in bags are provided.Cooking classes:Two of the 7 days has a cooking class for an additional charge (also in the Wajang theatre). It was a lot of fun to help cook one of three dishes (appetizer, main course, or dessert). Participants are split into groups of two. If you are interested, be sure to sign up early as space is limited. You then get to eat your creations in the Pinnacle Grill nearby afterwards.Pinnacle Grill becomes Le Cirque New York:Again, for an extra cost, one can dine at Pinnacle Grill. On some nights, it becomes Le Cirque with a menu inspired from its New York City namesake.Activities:Bingo is offered 4 times during the 7 days. One of the games saw the grand prize as a cruise for 2. The remaining games offered large cash grand prizes but the catch was that you had to fill every square of your bingo card by a maximum number of numbers called out. Even the host Chase said that this would be difficult but not impossible. 6 cards for 4 games cost $35 but a 3-card option is also available for less.Bean bag toss and ring toss are also available for a quick 30 minute distraction. This are usually held in the atrium on Deck 3.Shows:Shows are featured on most nights in the lounge. Shows were either by the regular cast of performers, a comedian Kevin Jordan, or a magician.Ports of call & excursions:Excursion tickets can be purchased on board while sailing toward the port of call for convenience but a huge premium is paid. Getting of at Juneau, we were amazed at how many booths offered comparable excursions at cheaper prices. This is true for all ports of call on this cruise (Ketchikan & Skagway).Staff:Our housecleaning staff worked very hard to keep our room clean twice a day. Two of the days saw us get fruit. Cruise director Brett Rudolph was a treat to interact with - don't be afraid to approach him. Let him get to know you - you won't regret it. Culinary Arts host Beth was also quite warm to passengers, doing what she could to be welcoming and assisting in any way she could during the demonstrations that she hosted. Chase is the show host, who hosts Bingo, Ring Toss, Bean Bag Toss, Name That Tune. Be prepared for some very dry humour and a deadpan delivery from him.Disembarkation:Everything went according to the posted schedule. There was a little bit of a line up but not a long delay. We were staying in Vancouver, so were we able to get our luggage in the main waiting area before submitting our Canadian customs declaration and leaving. The taxi line was long but it was either that or walk to 6 blocks our hotel with our heavy suitcases.Overall:I loved my first time cruise experience, thanks to the crew of the Volendam. If you are preparing for your first cruise, I hope this information helps.

This weekend, Grand Slam Baseball once again returns to Bay County and Frank Brown Park, this time for the 9th Annual Battle at the Beach Baseball Bash. Nearly sixty teams from 9U to 14U are on the diamond this weekend for the tournament, which kicked off Thursday night.
Several squads at this weekend's tournament are local, but most are from out of state, including as far away as Missouri and Ohio. Larry Thompson is the owner of Grand Slam sports, and says from now until the end of July, 500 teams will come to Bay County to play ball, which brings a definite boost to the local economy.
"The good thing about Grand Slam, and I'm very proud of this fact, is that we are the number two largest impact sporting event that comes to Bay County," said Thompson on Friday. "We are responsible for 25,000 room nights and right at this time and about a $4 million dollar economic impact to the county. We're just glad that Bay County likes Grand Slam as much as Grand Slam likes Bay County."
Tournament play continues through Sunday, when teams wrap up single elimination play to decide age bracket winners.

First Listen: Robert Plant, 'Lullaby And... The Ceaseless Roar'
Hear this
Explore this
Reported by
Ann Powers
The Irish poet William Butler Yeats once famously evoked the drift of time through the image of old men gazing at their own watery reflections. "Everything alters, and one by one we drop away," Yeats' elders say as they themselves sit solidly at the shore. Robert Plant is hardly the gnarled specimen Yeats described — at 66, the singer is still a majestic rock presence, at peace with the legacy of his hard-rock-defining band Led Zeppelin, while remaining relentlessly creative in his solo work. But on his 10th solo album, Plant does pause by those waters to consider the aesthetic, emotional and spiritual currents that have shaped his illustrious life. He finds himself, characteristically, not saddened but renewed.
lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar is an expression of many kinds of rich, autumnal love: of the English countryside to which Plant recently returned after several years living and working in Nashville and Texas; of the musical diaspora he's been exploring since Led Zeppelin first connected its American-inspired blues to North Africa in "Kashmir"; of the Celtic and Romantic literary lines he's always favored; and of a woman, whom the songs' narrator treasures but, for reasons upon which at least half of the album dwells, leaves behind. (Presumably, that's Patty Griffin, with whom Plant recently parted after a long relationship. Her answer record ought to be amazing.) More than anything, the album waxes gorgeous about music itself — the force that enlightens Plant, allows him to speak to his absent beloved, and helps him through his now more solitary life.
That existence is far from lonely, however, because Plant has built a band that's attuned to his focused eclecticism. He's worked with many of the Sensational Space Shifters before, on the solo efforts that preceded his plunge into Americana with Alison Krauss in 2007, and the six-piece group represents Plant's breadth of interests, with past experience in trip-hop, Britpop, Gambian music and jazz. The guitarist Justin Adams, Plant's right-hand man, has worked with both the desert blues band Tinariwen and post-punk British mainstay Jah Wobble; between those influences lies the big, lush field where Plant now resides. When the voice of the Welsh singer Julie Murphy surfaces in one song, it's a call from Plant's spiritual home of the British Isles, but it also sounds like it might have traveled through the deserts of Morocco.
The Ceaseless Roar begins with the sound of a kologo, an African relative of the banjo, within an arrangement of the folk song "Little Maggie"; the album concludes with a return to that song, featuring vocals by Shape Shifters member Juldeh Camara in the Fulani language. With such gestures, Plant draws the circle that contains his wide-open sound. Elsewhere, Plant invokes Leadbelly (the source of the frenetic "Poor Howard"), Roy Orbison (in the hard-to-resist ex-lover's mea culpa "House of Love"), U2 ("Turn It Up" recalls the Bono and Edge of "Bad"), Celtic traditionalism ("Stolen Kiss" strips that style to its essence) and, in "Embrace Another Fall," the rich, jazz-tinged soundtracks of Dimitri Tiomkin and Lalo Schifrin. No one of these songs sounds precisely like its source; that's the genius of this album. It lovingly layers elements in ways that mirror memory, creating new constructs from floating shards of the musical past.
Throughout The Ceaseless Roar, Plant creates himself as a character in songs that, like the music itself, borrow from a past well-studied and well-lived. He quotes Led Zeppelin; in his more hippie-ish moments, he declares himself a rainbow (among male rockers, only Robert Plant could call himself a rainbow and still come off as sexy) and a wanderer with "pockets full of golden," behaving like a Romantic pastoralist who's ingested a few psychedelics in his time. Alternately, like the Southern bluesmen and early rockers who've always been at the foundation of his persona, he sings of packing his suitcase and burning down the house of love. The imagery Plant confidently claims would seem corny coming from a lesser synthesist, but he and the Space Shifters bring it to life in settings so vividly constructed, the familiar phrases gain new life.
Plant's voice runs through these songs like a body of water, elemental and remarkably flexible. There are no mighty, wind-on-down-the-road yowls; one thing Plant has learned from studying both African music and Delta blues is that intensity can come through authoritative quietude. As a producer, he's found effective middle ground between the almost ambient sheen T-Bone Burnett brought to the Krauss collaborations and the raw edge of his favorite influences, like Tinariwen. Plant takes advantage of the balm of reverb, but he doesn't overdo it. His phrasings still sound personal.
In the joyful "Somebody There," which sounds like the softer side of the Led Zeppelin Jack White likes, Plant places himself within a memory of wandering the English countryside as a boy. "Below the world's unfolding, unrattled and exploding," he sings, sweetly. "It was always so." Everything drops away, Plant knows, but this music makes clear that he also believes in rejuvenation. On lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar, he shows what that sounds like.
First Listen: Death Blues, 'Ensemble'

Reported by
Lars Gotrich
Jon Mueller is thinking about death. It sounds like a hammer hitting an acoustic guitar.
"What happens when we thoroughly hold and understand that our lives are finite? How does this understanding of our end shape our present? How do we become more 'present'?" Since 2011, the percussionist and composer Jon Mueller (Collections of Colonies of Bees, Pele) has been asking these fundamental questions as Death Blues, a multi-disciplinary project stretched over essays, performances, the visual arts and albums. The range of the music has been exploratory and — to those may only know Mueller's work through Volcano Choir — at times challenging, but then so is the range of questions he asks.
If Death Blues was the meditative inception, Here the manic mantra and Non-fiction the explosive catharsis, then Ensemble is the blown-out, hyper-real orchestra of the self. Over the course of two years, film composer and multi-instrumentalist William Ryan Fritch worked with Mueller to bring out new fantastical colors and shapes in these pieces, which still center on the monotonic yet soul-awakening thwack of the hammered acoustic guitar.
Fritch's arrangements feel like something out of a Hayao Miyazaki film — a lost era that never existed or a familiar, recurring dream. After the crash of drums and cathedral-shattering voices, "Consonance" is built upon a ramshackle string melody that threatens to buckle under heavy bliss. "Participant," by contrast, is playful in its lilting piano and traditional Chinese folk strings, driven forward by Mueller's declarative drums and Craig Feazel's wandering pedal steel. Later, "Unseen" is the funeral-march cabaret existing somewhere between Tom Waits and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, while "Obtain" speeds up the tempo to an ecstatic gallop. At times, the sublime contrast of melody and atonality recalls Angela Morley's (n�e Wally Stott) work on the first four Scott Walker solo albums ("Reentry") or Jim O'Rourke's busy yet thoughtful classical Americana album from 2009, The Visitor ("Entrainment"). Ensemble paints across culture and time, reaching upward as it looks inward.
The record comes packaged in a large-format book adorned by Lillian Rammel's mask sculptures. The masks play into Mueller's main theme for Ensemble: "layers within perception," or how we reflect ourselves to the world, even and especially to ourselves. He commissioned essays from friends and deep thinkers (artist and poet Stacy Blint, musician and artist Faith Coloccia, artist Chris Koelle and musician Tom Lecky among them) about the events in their lives that still carry weight. It's in keeping with the idea of mindfulness, being aware of what David Ravel describes — in his heartbreaking story about the death of his father, then his wife — as the "intangible yet ineluctable truth [that] revivifies our present and our presence." In a time where album artwork is reduced to a thumbnail and liner notes to a pdf file no one reads, Death Blues' Ensemble feels vital as a complex experience you touch, live in, and meditate on.

First Listen: Ryan Adams, 'Ryan Adams'

Reported by
Stephen Thompson
Once known as a poster child for heedless prolificacy, Ryan Adams now seems to have discovered how to live at a human pace. His self-titled 14th album is his first in three years — a span that would have seemed inconceivable a decade ago. But the former Whiskeytown singer has settled down in several ways in recent years, for reasons both healthy (sobriety, marriage) and less so (a painful and career-threatening inner-ear disorder).
It's only natural that, like 2011's Ashes & Fire, Ryan Adams sands down some of the singer-songwriter's rough spots, in ways that can affect peaks and valleys alike. But Adams still hits terrific highs here — most notably in "My Wrecking Ball," which locates the singer's blood-and-guts barrenness, and "I Just Might," during which he channels early Springsteen in a way that suits him.
Adams' output was erratic for so long — not to mention checkered with unlikely detours, including the occasional ragged punk record — that albums this sure-handed actually take a little getting used to. But Ryan Adams rewards the extra attention: It's the sound of a genius who's only recently relearned what it's like to walk on steady footing.

First Listen: Sean Rowe, 'Madman'
Hear this
Explore this
Reported by
Will Hermes
Sean Rowe has been playing a haunted cover of Bruce Springsteen's "The River" on tour this year, usually using only his battered Takamine acoustic guitar, a harmonica and his well-deep, Old Testament baritone voice. It might give an impression — abetted by his impressive beard — that Rowe, a small-town upstate New Yorker, is some Dust Bowl folkie throwback.
But his albums paint a richer picture. Magic, Rowe's 2010 debut, is full of singer-songwriter balladry with Leonard Cohen echoes, rock 'n' roll outbursts and spooky modern production. Its follow-up, The Salesman and the Shark, adds offbeat junk-shop arrangements that recall labelmate Tom Waits. Madman shows Rowe twinning his styles together with new elements: soul, blues, gospel, R&B. The upshot, surprisingly, is his most coherent record yet.
If there's a spiritual forebear to Madman, it's Van Morrison, whose best records have woven the above styles (and more) into seamless cloth. Exhibit A: Madman's title track, with its handclaps, brass, bright melody, and burly "whoa-whoas." But there's cryptic humor here that's all Rowe's own ("You can call me a madman / but I'm spoken for.") The manic mix of "Shine My Diamond Ring," with its barrelhouse blues swagger and screaming gutbucket sax, shows a man who likes rough textures and exposed seams. But maybe the most striking number is "Desiree," a Motown-styled reverie with scats and screams; if only Amy Winehouse were around to make it a duet.
At the core of every song is Rowe's remarkable voice, which sounds inescapably melancholy, tremendously sexy and often slightly menacing. It does all sorts of things well, and its full range is on display here. It seems worth mentioning Rowe's interest in foraging and wild-crafting (see his series of videos on the many uses of milkweed). It's the idea of taking the bounty that's out there, and of using your skills to transform it into something useful, beautiful, remarkable. It's what Rowe does with his music, too.

First Listen: Tricky, 'Adrian Thaws'
Hear this
Explore this
Reported by
Andy Battaglia
Ever since he made his name as a spectral carnival barker in the trip-hop troupe Massive Attack, Tricky has been a master of creeping, crawling mood music that exudes quiet defiance and makes followers consult their dictionaries every so often to reconvene with the precise definition of "crepuscular." For his 11th album, Tricky stays more or less in line — though with a bit of a new persona in tow.
Adrian Thaws takes its title from Tricky's given name, marking a rare occasion for him to shed even the slightest bit of the mystery he's been nurturing since the early 1990s. The songs, though, are still evasive in intriguing ways. "Sun Down" slinks over a slick, gritty mid-tempo beat with a mix of foreboding bass tones, dirty angelic coos and slashes of electric guitar. Tricky himself sounds pleasingly cadaverous, while soulful singing by Tirzah establishes a desiccated R&B air. "Lonnie Listen" features the beguiling art-rapper Mykki Blanco and regular Tricky companion Francesca Belmonte as they give voice to down-and-out despair ("Exercise every day and I'm still not fit / My kids are hungry and I ain't got s—- / What I'm gonna do, what I'm gonna do, what I'm gonna do?").
Adrian Thaws varies greatly in speed and tone. "Keep Me in Your Shake" skulks, with a slur of acoustic guitar that gives the song an appealingly strange country-blues twang. "Nicotine Love" accelerates greatly by comparison, with some of the swing of house music and club-ready bass bumps. "Gangster Chronicles" seethes with fiery rapping by London grime MC Bella Gotti, while "My Palestinian Girl" pays eerie tribute to a paramour who caught Tricky's leering eye ("I take a trip to Gaza, it's love I'm really after," he rasps).
Consistent throughout Adrian Thaws is a brooding, searching spirit and a cinematic sense of atmosphere. Tricky's cinema, to be sure, is noir and then some, but he also knows how to pan back every now and then for a widescreen fantasia.

Classic and modern cultures live side by side in Buenos Aires, Argentina
Despite its beauteous natural scenery, historical cities and distinguished culinary reputation, South America remains largely unexplored by many North American travelers. Yet tourists searching for an epic and grand city that incorporates both modern and classic architecture while featuring a lively culture all of its own will have hard time finding a better destination than Buenos Aires, Argentina.
As the capital and largest city of the country, Buenos Aires is a modern and fast-paced city that remains true to its cultural heritage. It is the point of departure for travel throughout the rest of the country, yet there is more than enough to see and do in the city for the average visitor.
One of the best destinations for historical travelers is the San Telmo district, a sprawling area littered with colonial-style buildings and cobblestone lanes. It is called the heart of the "tourist tango," offering up a dozen different venues where travelers can take in a show or dance the night away.
For a dose of modern culture travelers can head to La Boca, a working-class neighborhood that houses a number of shops, bars and restaurants in a bright and festive setting.

The zero-degree weather that has settled in this week isn't all bad, particularly if you like ice skating.
The rink at Chapel Hills Park, 6735 S. Highfield Drive, is now open and the Henry Miller Park pond could open by the weekend, officials said on the city's Facebook page.
Due to the mild temperatures, the Oak Creek Recreation Department posted signs at Henry Miller Park at the beginning of the month warning people against ice skating (not that it stopped some brave Oak Creek High School students from trying their luck).
The city is hoping to open the pond up by the weekend, weather permitting.
For the latest information, call the recreation activity line at (414) 299-9721 and press 1, or keep tabs on the Oak Creek Recreation Facebook page.

A bill that would implement a citywide dress code in Central Falls public schools has been signed into law.
The bill would implement the dress code in order to control the environment in schools and curb violence due to dress and gang regalia.
With a dress-code the bill notes that students will not associate each other with particular "gangs" or group and therefore can focus on learning and not on the threat of violence. It also notes that faculty and staff will be able to spend less time familiarizing themselves with the "subtleties of gang regalia"

ACCOMAC, Va. (AP) - Structures on Virginia's Eastern Shore continue to be targets for an arsonist.
Virginia State Police tell media outlets that 36 fires have been set in Accomack County since Nov. 13.
Officials say no one has been injured by the fires and the structures have all been unoccupied and abandoned.
Accomack County officials say there are as many as 800 abandoned structures in the county.
Investigators believe most cases are the work of the same arsonist, but they aren't ruling out the possibility that some may be the work of a copycat.
A $5,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to an arrest.

RALEIGH, NC (WECT) - New poll numbers show more North Carolinians are unhappy with the current state of leadership in Raleigh. According to Public Policy Polling, responders do not have a favorable opinion of the General Assembly or of Governor Pat McCrory.
In a survey of 600 voters done August 8-11, PPP found the approval rating for McCrory dropping to below 40%. Overall, McCrory has a 39% favorable rating and a 51% unfavorable rating. Republicans favored the first-term Governor by a 69-20 margin, but Independents polled for this survey had a 49-41 unfavorable opinion, with Democrats at 76-14 disapproval.
When asked whether they approve of the GOP-controlled General Assembly, Republicans responders voiced a 38% favorable opinion, 34% unfavorable and 28% saying "not sure". Both Democrats and Independents had unfavorable opinions, 69-14 for the Democrats and 52-26 for Independents.
When polling numbers were broken down by gender in the latest survey, both the Governor and the General Assembly had negative approval ratings. Women had a 52-37 disapproval mark for McCrory, and 54-18 disapproval for the GA. Men voiced a 50-41 unfavorable for McCrory, and 54-31 unfavorable for lawmakers.
The survey also found that responders had a higher opinion of the "Moral Monday" protestors than they did for the Governor and elected leaders. In the poll, 49% reported having a favorable opinion of the group that demonstrated for weeks outside of the Legislative Building. McCrory pulled in a 39% favorable mark, compared to 36% favorable for Republicans in the General Assembly, and 41% for Democrats.
Click here to see a release and raw data from the latest PPP survey.
According to a report by the News and Observer in Raleigh, the Governor's supporters commissioned a poll showing much higher approval numbers. Newsobserver.com reports Renew North Carolina's poll shows McCrory's approval running 49% favorable to 22% unfavorable. Attempts to contact representatives from Renew North Carolina have not been successful, and clicking on the organizations website says it is "coming soon".

Some nokia phones have a "WEB upload" option as an image sending option.
I understand that this uses the atom protocol but I don't really understand the flow.
Can some1 please help, I need to develop a server side to which i can post an image , what exactly do i need to do:
I tried developing a server side script in PHP and another in ruby that both have the same functionality which is saving an input posted file to the server, but apparently that's not it, as i check the server logs even the first line of my script "that was a simple puts or print" was not hit.
I feel there's something totally wrong with my understanding and that it's not the simple script that should handle my request, but i dont understand what's wrong. I even tried adding some atom creation code in my scripts so that the incoming content can be stored as an atom entry but no difference @ all since that's not the problem anyway...
Can any1 please help????

Negatives - Announcements in five languages. Fairly short time allowed in port.
We were aware of both these before we travelled and so they came as no great surprise. In any event the announcements were only made about three times a day and soon ceased to intrude. The amount of time in port is, to a large extent governed by the itinerary and as the destinations were a major factor in our choice of cruise this criticism is also tempered with pragmatism.
Positives - We made our own way to the terminal (earlier than scheduled following the advice of a previous critic) and were in our cabin by 1pm and our luggage swiftly followed.
Our balcony cabin was excellent being somewhat larger than previous cruises and there were welcome surprises in the bathroom with fluffy towel robes and best of all proper shower doors rather than a clingy curtain. It was immaculately clean and kept so by our efficient and friendly steward.
We ate in the buffet for both breakfast and lunch and whilst it was always busy (the ship being fully booked) we never failed to find a vacant table.
Dinner in the Villa Rossa Restaurant was generally very good with plenty of choice from the several courses on offer although it has to be said that the salads would have benefited from a little more tomato,cheese, onion etc and a little less lettuce. The staff were invariably efficient and friendly.
The evening shows were excellent if a little samey with a very high standard of singers, dancers and acrobats. The money saved on not having a resident band (all the music being "canned")was very well spent on the artistes.
A major plus was the Allegrissimo drinks package. We are both moderate drinkers but it was great fun at dinner to check with our fellow diners how much "profit" we had made that day.
Disembarkation was well organised the only minor criticism being a lack of signs for the free shuttle buses from our remote berth to the Venice "People Mover"
All in all a splendid cruise and we will strongly recommend MSC to all our cruising friends.

Mentally and spiritually, Black calms mind and spirit. Relieves stressful feelings and brings feelings of peace and serenity. It can be the perfect compliment to Gold in meditation. While Gold can assist in reaching deep states, often mental clatter still interferes with 100% pure focus. Black can remove the clatter making meditations more profound.
Another use of the Gold/Black combination is creativity. Same principles apply. Gold can enhance mental activity and Black gets rid of any mental distractions. Every one needs to play with this combination, but our favorite at the Harmonic Innerprizes Home Office is 1/8 teaspoon of Gold under the tongue and spray in the Black Homeopathic Spray so that it comes in contact with the Gold in the mouth.
Black consists of diamagnetic and paramagnetic elements that have a detoxifying effect on the body and a purifying effect on the spirit. Black seems to remove anything that is not in harmony with the higher good of the individual, or not in harmony with the energy of the spirit of the individual.
Black returns a system from it's journey into chaos, as if it never begun. Symbolically, this appears as smoke from a fire returning back into the wood, as if there never was a fire.
Physically many experience immediate relief from allergenic attacks. Black removes drunkenness. Four capsules, or 1/4 teaspoon mixed in water will bring sobriety in approximately 20 minutes in most situations. While the biomechanical pathways are not known, it appears that the energy of Black neutralizes these poisons rather that removes them from the body through a detoxifying action.
Black is second favorite to Gold as it is just as experiential.
