320 Main is an exceptional place to get mixed drinks and the only place that they are getting dinged on my ratings is on their (beer) selection. Not to say that the beer selection is bad, because that is not the case. It is just a small selection of 6 handles, but they do go out of their way to make it a solid 6 beers. I just don't think that anybody is going to go here thinking that it is specifically a "beer destination" and I don't think that the owners would think of themselves in that way either. What makes this place great is that if you are in Seal Beach with people who want a solid drink selection (far beyond most bars), then this is the place to go and know that you will still have 6 great beers to choose from. They have an excellent happy hour on select drinks, wines, beers and appetizers. I have not yet had a full meal here, but each appetizer has been excellent.
Ultimately, for people reading this on Beer Advocate, unless it is a Monday when Beachwood is closed, it would be hard to say that 320 Main is going to be the best beer stop on Main Street. But if you have a crowd that requires hard alcohol drinks and really wants them done right, then this is the place and you can rest assured that your beer needs will be more than satisfied even with the smaller selection.

320 Main in Seal Beach California is a wonderful steak and seafood restaurant with a classy atmosphere and full bar inside, and a small patio in front. Although it is primarily focused on cocktail revival (their cocktails are very well made standards and new variations) 320 Main has a strong beer selection (think Stone, Lagunitas, Oskar Blues, Avery, Chimay, etc.) with 6 beers on tap and a few bottled selections.
Happy Hour!!!
The Lunch Special, and Happy Hour are why I keep going back. Also, a few day of the week are special days (local night, 5$ cocktails, etc). Their lunch special goes from 11:00am to 3:00pm and is 10$ for a half french dip with a few choices of meat, a draft beer and a side. Happy Hour has a list of 6 or 7 appetizers for 4$ as well as 4$ draft beers and well drinks.
I put the value as reasonable because of their specials and happy hour, dinner I would probably put at $$$, as dishes are around 20-30$ and appetizers are 10-15$.

Capitalism is a totally rigged game
If capitalism was indeed "a totally rigged game," the system would not tolerate my saying so, even in jest.
Perhaps it's just a partially rigged game, and includes a sense of humor. Or maybe the game isn't rigged at all. Read more…

Seven former SEC Chairs, namely Arthur Levitt, Rod Hills, William Donaldson, Harvey Pitt, and David Ruder, filed an amicus brief in this case asking the Court to uphold the constitutionality of the PCAOB.
Oral arguments are set to be heard on December 7, 2009.
* * * * * *
On May 18, 2009, the United States Supreme Court agreed to hear Free Enterprise Fund v. PCAOB, a case that challenges the structure of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board as unconstitutional. The PCAOB has been called many things, but is it unconstitutional, and if it is, what then?
PCAOB Structure
Formation of the PCAOB
In 2002, in response to a series of accounting scandals including Enron and WorldCom, Congress hastily passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("SarBox"), which created the PCAOB (the "Board") as a new entity to oversee the audits of public companies. Specifically, the Board's purpose is "to protect the interests of investors and further the public interest in the preparation of informative, accurate, and independent audit reports for companies the securities of which are sold to, and held by and for, public investors."
Appointment and Removal of Board Members is Vested with the SEC
The Board consists of five members who are appointed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), after consultation with the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (currently Ben Bernanke) and the Secretary of the Treasury (currently Tim Geithner). Appointment is by a majority vote of the five SEC Commissioners.
A member of the Board may be removed only upon a finding of good cause by the SEC.
Powers of the Board
Senator Phil Gramm (R-TX) said in July 2002 of the Board,
"This board is going to have massive power, unchecked power, by design. . . . We are setting up a board with massive power that is going to make decisions that affect all accountants and everybody they work for, which directly or indirectly is every breathing person in the country. They are going to have massive unchecked powers."
The Board can, subject to approval or termination by the SEC:
- impose regulations controlling the auditing of all public companies;
- dictate services that can and cannot be performed by accountants;
- impose a tax in the form of the accounting support fee that it levies;
- inspect, investigate, and punish accounting firms, and individual accountants, for violating its regulations, professional standards, or federal laws;
- fine an accountant up to $100,000, or an accounting firm up to $2 million, for a violation of its rules;
- set the salaries of its own board members.
The Appointments Clause of the Constitution
The Appointments Clause is found in Article II, Section 2, clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution. The Appointments Clause gives the President the power to "nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the Supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein provided for. . . but Congress may, by Law, vest the Appointment of such inferior officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments." Thus, an officer of the United States must either be appointed by the President, or, if the officer is an "inferior officer," by either (1) the President, (2) a Court, or (3) a Head of Department. This is a crucial component of the separation of powers concept in our government.
The Issues Before the United States Supreme Court
Are Members of the Board Officers of the United States?
If the members of the Board are considered officers of the United States, then under the Appointments Clause they come under the power of the President. Principal officers are to be nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate, while inferior officers are appointed by either the President, a Court, or a Head of Department. Whether or not members of the Board are considered officers of the United States is one of the issues before the Supreme Court.
Are the Five Commissions of the SEC the Head of a Department?
Assuming that members of the Board are officers of the United States, and the extensive powers given to the Board as outlined above indicates that they are, then the next issue (because the Board is not appointed by the President or a Court) is whether the five Commissioners of the SEC are considered the Heads of a Department. The SEC has a Chair, whom most would consider to be its head. But appointment to the Board is by a majority of the Commissioners of the SEC, not by its Chair. What's more, the Commissioners of the SEC must consult with the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve and the Secretary of the Treasury.
Is the SEC a Department?
Lawyers arguing against the Board have cited precedent that the term "Departments" in the Appointments Clause refers only to those entities that resemble cabinet departments and are directly accountable to the President, and whose heads are called "cabinet ministers." Thus, they argue, the SEC is not a Department and its leaders, even if they are considered "heads", cannot appoint an officer of the United States.
The Court of Appeals Decision
The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia held in favor of the Board. In its decision, which was decided by a 2-1 vote, the Court held that members of the Board are inferior officers of the United States. The Court further held that the SEC was a Department, and that the five Commissioners of the SEC were the Heads of Department and thus under the control of the President. Therefore, the structure of the PCAOB was not in violation of the Appointments Clause and was constitutional.
The lone dissenting judge decided that the members of the Board were principal officers because they are not directed and supervised by the SEC, are not removable at will by the SEC, and the SEC cannot manage Board inspections, investigations or enforcement actions. Thus, as principal officers, the members of the Board must be appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Further, the dissenting judge felt that Congress intended for the members of the Board to be principal officers because of the massive power given to them.
The Effect of a Ruling Against the PCAOB
Corrective Structural Matters
The dissenting judge from the Court of Appeals outlined two relatively simple corrections to the constitutional flaws he found. First, Congress could simply amend the statute to require, for example, that the members of the Board, like the heads of other agencies, be appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, and thereafter be removable by the President. Alternatively, Congress could make the Board part of the SEC – directed, supervised, and removable at will by the five Commissioners of the SEC - just like other inferior officers of the SEC.
Historical PCAOB Disciplinary Actions
Some commentators have suggested a much more important effect of a decision against the PCAOB. In two Supreme Court cases, Freytag v. C.I.R (1991) and Ryder v. United States (1995), the Supreme Court affirmed that an individual or firm discliplined by a government agency can challenge that discipline if agency officials were improperly appointed. Thus, an accountant subject to enforcement proceedings by the PCAOB may have standing to challenge the structure of the PCAOB as a defense to any disciplinary action against him. They might also have standing to challenge the underlying policies such as the PCAOB's broad interpretation of Section 404 of SarBox, the tax levied on public companies by the PCAOB, and other rules used to impose sanctions.
Important Precedent
More important than both of the effects outlined above may be the impact this case has on the separation of powers doctrine under which the Appointments Clause was adopted. On its face, a decision against the PCAOB appears to give power to the President. However, the Obama administration is expected to file a brief in support of the PCAOB, seemingly against its own interests. Why? Because a decision in favor of the PCAOB will support the concept of government agencies created by one branch of government but essentially unchecked by another branch of government. It will undermine the separation of powers and checks-and-balances doctrines put in place by our country's founders. Given the Obama administration's tendency to increase the role of government, evidenced by the appointment of over 20 czars as of the date of this article, this case presents a very slippery slope indeed. As a result, this may be one of the most important decisions in the first set of cases heard by Obama appointee Sonia Sotomayor.

The company that manages two golf courses in Lubbock has been told to find some money or give up the properties.
A company called CNL owns Lakeridge Golf Course in Lubbock. CNL contracts with a company called EAGL Golf to manage Lakeridge. EAGL also manages Meadowbrook.
According to Golf Inc. Magazine, CNL told EAGL that $37-million of late rent on 43 golf courses is unacceptable and gave the company until this past Saturday to fix it. That deadline included Lakeridge, not Meadowbrook.
Tuesday night NewsChannel 11 double checked with a high ranking city official and it was indicated that EAGL still owes the City of Lubbock nearly $100,000 in late payments.
However, Wednesday morning the city sent out a statement saying that payment of $136,360.18 was recieved on November 24th.

After three weeks of vacillation, weasel words, pious promises and arse kissing the American president, Tony "tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime" Blair has decided he will have to postpone his holiday to sort the middle east crisis out.The crisis has been going on for three weeks now; in the first week the Prime Minister fucked off to Germany to play at world statesmen, the second week he fucked off to California to kiss Rupert Murdoch's arse and play Terminator with Governor Arnie.
So why delay his family jolly? Perhaps it is because he fears that with Johnny-the-Groper Prescott in charge and Margaret "I've-been-having-a-bad-hair-day-for-forty-years" Beckett overseeing our foriegn policy the country would not be in safe hands.
Or is it perhaps because he's worried that if he leaves the high security enclave of Whitehall there are a lot of people out there who would like to shoot him?

You don't think there is any security at Sir Cliff's holiday home?!
- 2006-08-04 @ 18:56:47
What a co-incidence that Tone is introducing new legislation that extends the royalty rewards of the writers of hit tunes from the past, from 40 years to 50 years.
This would then bring Sir Cliff's mega hits of Summer Holiday, Batchelor Boy and others from the sixties into financial play again and benefit the sad old fart to the tune of £millions more; enough renumeration to cushion him well into old age and the guaranteed granting of freebie Summer Holidays to the Blair entrouage and his spawn to boot.
Congratulations Sir Cliff!

Optima Beverage Tub 453 504
Nice Size Very elegant and great vaue for money. Have not used yet...purchased as a gift for hubby, so can't tell if it is true to it's word on keeping beverages cold but would purchase again on appearance alone. July 23, 2010
Awesome tub My boys used the tub to hold water bottles for their drink stand and it kept the drinks cold for 4 hrs and still had time left! It is heavy especially when loaded I could not pick it up, but very durable and does not sweat!! July 23, 2010
Great purchase! This tub is wonderful! After using many tubs that leaked or perspired with condensation, I finally decided enough was enough and bought this one. My husband uses it at the office when he has clients in and we have used it at home when entertaining. Looks beautiful in any setting, without the mess and hassle. Would definately recommend this purchase. July 23, 2010
as always fantastic We ordered one tub for a nephew, it was so great we ordered another for our "compadre" July 22, 2010
Everything you said it would be! This Beverage tub is great. It gets raved about by both kids and adults. We have used it at parties for both. Weather it is holding soda or wine (We have even used it for Sangria!), the ice last an extended amount of time and the best part is NO SWEAT! You can set this on a wooden table and not worry about the finish being ruined... July 19, 2010
Better than expected When I received my beverage tub I could not believe the quality, size, and weight. It is 100% better than any I have ever seen. I highly recommend this. July 15, 2010
Great Product Line My husband and I received the beverage container as a anniversary gift. After a Christmas party with a late night, we decided to leave the beer in the container with the remaining ice (we have two small children so, knew it would be an early morning anyway). In the middle of the night we lost electricity. The beer stayed cold until it returned to a refrigerator around 11am the next day. There was NO sweat on my hard wood floors and the beer was still cold. So we decided to purchase the ice bucket. Used it July 4 weekend for another party along with the matching scoop. Awesome product and worth every penney! Wish they had a wine container????! Would buy that in a heat beat! July 14, 2010
Must Have At Party The Ice buckets and scoops are a must for any party. Cold beverages and fresh ice! No messy water on the counters as the ice melts during the party. Looks sleak. July 14, 2010
I thought the quality of your products were outstanding. The value and price were very impressive. I will buy again! July 14, 2010
great purchase The beverage tub keeps drinks really cold. Awesome!!!! July 13, 2010
Satisfied Consumer This product was an excellent value as well as being a quality item. Service was very good. Glad I made the purchase. July 13, 2010
Great when on sale! This makes a classy way to hold your sodas, beer, and wine for parties. The first one arrived dented in three places and Frontgate replaced it promptly with no hassle. They even allowed me to use the dented one before I sent it back as I was having a party the day after it arrived. The replacement tub arrived and is in perfect condition. July 11, 2010
Exactly What I Hoped I am so happy with the beverage tubs. I ordered six for wedding gifts. They are well designed and beautifully finished. I know they will be appreciated and used by the lucky couples for many years to come. Practical and attractive! July 9, 2010
Great Value! I had been wanting a quality insulated beverage tub for several years, but all, until now, were very expensive. This one was a great price for such good quality! It was also larger in size than I expected. Thanks! July 9, 2010
Looks good I haven't had a chance to use it yet but my friend did for the 4th of July. I liked the way it did not (or appear to not) have condensation at the bottom of the tub and it seemed to hold the ice well. July 9, 2010
Excellent product The beverage tub is a hit wherever it has been given as a gift. We have ordered three of them and intend to keep on giving them to newlyweds, or as housewarming gifts. It fits in perfectly with today's style of living. July 9, 2010
Luv the tub! This tub is more beautiful and larger than expected so it's perfect for enteraining!!! July 9, 2010
Beverage Tub Great looking Product and a great way to entertain! July 9, 2010
beautiful - just as shown My daughter was so pleased with the beverage tub (and so was I when it arrived here for her birthday). It is beautiful - and functional - what a combination these days! July 8, 2010
missing something love the large wine ice cooler it was backordered and arrived just in time for the 4th-unfortunetly the ice bucket that was supposed to arrive with it did not-now what? July 7, 2010
Beverage Tub Great. Holds a lot of beverages. Looks clean & impressive for a party July 6, 2010
pleasant surprise This beverage tub exceeded my expectations. The quality and craftsmanship are excellent. The size is more than adequate for entertainment. We are eager to have our first gathering on on our new porch and have the cool beverages ready and waiting for our guests. July 6, 2010
Fantastic Beverage Tub This is a sharp looking, contemporary tub that is large enough for all my ice and drinks. I love the tub and also purchased the matching ice shovel and the ice bucket for indoor use with the small scoop. They look great and function well--no leaks! July 6, 2010
beautiful way to display beverages The tub is huge- can hold many, many drinks at once. It is also very striking- a great addition to the outdoor motif July 6, 2010
Big and Beautiful! This beverage tub is big enough to hold many bottles so your guests can feel comfortable serving themselves and you can load it and attend to other party details. It is simply gorgeous! July 6, 2010
Fabulous Tub I love this tub! It's very classy looking and high quality and it does what it says..no condensation and keeps things cold. Worked so well I bought the ice bucket and now I'm trying the cold/hot plate. June 29, 2010
great inside This is a beautiful piece, and very functional. My only complaint would be it does not perform as well outside in the Houston heat and humidity. The ice melted quickly,and the tub sweat. When used inside, the tub was excellent. Back to the ice chest outside. June 25, 2010
Great product I've been looking for a quality ice busket that also looks great and I finally found it at an affordable price!! Other products like this wee 3x the cost. June 23, 2010
We bought the Optima ice bucket for our office. It was filled with ice for about 4 hours. Ice stayed frozen but condensation did form on the outside of the bucket so there were some drips onto the cabinet. Bought this one because it was insulated. June 15, 2010
i have 2 beverage tubs and the ice bucket - love them - they work as well as they look - June 10, 2010

In the near future, California students will be thinking a lot more and filling in fewer bubbles when they take standardized statewide tests.
At a news conference Tuesday morning, state Superintendent Tom Torlakson unveiled a new testing system for schools statewide.
The new tests follow the guidelines set forth in the Common Core State Standards. Those recommendations were put together last year by a task force that studied new testing methods under a mandate by the state Legislature.
If approved by state legislators, the new testing system would begin in the 2014-2015 school year.
The superintendent is planning to suspend STAR Program assessments for the coming school year unless the exams are specifically mandated by the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) or used for the Early Assessment Program (EAP).
This change would suspend STAR testing of second graders and end-of-course exams at the high school level.
Torlakson said the current testing system has improved student learning throughout the state, but it's time to move to a different kind of assessment.
"We're moving to a new dimension, a higher dimension," said Torlakson.
Torlakson has made a dozen recommendations to the legislature for the Statewide Pupil Assessment System.
One of the keys is to move away from memorization of knowledge and focus more on students' critical thinking, analytical skills and problem solving.
State leaders said the new tests will measure the ability of students to understand and use what they have learned.
"Multiple-choice, fill-in-the-bubble tests alone simply cannot do the job anymore and it's time for California to move forward with assessments that measure the real-world skills our students need to be ready for a career and for college," said Torlakson.

Nando's says Oscar Pistorius advert is fake and in "bad taste"
'Nando's' advert referring to Oscar Pistorius shooting causes a stir on Twitter and Facebook.
"We don't shoot our chicks… we just flame grill them" reads an advert carrying Nando's branding and a similar font to the South African chicken restaurant's usual ads, that went around on social media today.
Nando's has since clarified that the poster referring to the murder charge brought against Oscar Pistorius was not created by them.
"The advert circulating on social media has been done in bad taste, was most certainly not created by Nando's, and we wish to distance ourselves from it. This is a tragic situation with a tragic loss of life and we wish to give all those involved the respect they deserve at this difficult time," said a statement from the company.
Nando's is known for its controversial adverts commenting on South African news events, with some of their hard-hitting campaigns banned in the past.

Nando's …putting their stump in their mouth again.
They should just take the credit, its a good advert.
Famous Nandos trick. They are responsible and then afterwards deny any knowledge.
Advertising whichever way one looks at it! Shame on you Nandos!
Ad is a Nados classic – even though fake. Pity, their adds are always good for a laugh.

Aristarchus of Samos
of Samos (c.310-c.230 BCE): Greek astronomer, discoverer of heliocentric
Aristarchus of Samos was the first to catch a glimpse of the immense size of the universe. Until then, everyone had believed that the moon, sun, planets, and stars all revolved around the earth. Perhaps the stars were as far away as twenty of forty radiuses of the earth, perhaps hunderd or thousand (the maximum size according to Archimedes of Syracuse), but nobody thought that it would be much bigger.
But Aristarchus argued that the sun was about nineteen times the size and distance of the moon. The consequence of his calculation was that the sun was larger than the earth, and this in turn led to the conclusion that it was possible that it was not the sun, but the earth that was moving. Although several ancient astronomers, a.o. Seleucus of Babylon, subscribed to this correct interpretation of the phenomena, it was ignored until Copernicus. The correctness was not proven until Bessel in 1839 measured the parallax.

Fairtrade Fiesta in Finchley today
Updated 12:04pm Monday 3rd March 2014 in News By Natalie O'Neill
A church will host a Fairtrade Fiesta at a South American-style tea party today.
Finchley and Golders Green MP Mike Freer will ride an eco bike at St Mary-at-Finchley Church, making Fairtrade smoothies using a blender fitted to the bike's saddle.
As he pedals, the MP will generate enough power to make the smoothies using Fairtrade bananas and fruit juices.
Church Rector the Reverend Philip Davidson will open the carnival activities by tying a giant inflatable Fairtrade banana to the church roof and the Rev Stefan Chrysostomou will dress in a banana suit for the occasion.
The fun will start from 2.30pm, with proceeds going to Columbian farmers.
There will also be family games, Mardi Gras mask making, live music, Latin American dancing and homemade cakes.

TEAMS: San Diego Chargers, Cleveland Browns
Time has determined that Norv Turner is not head coaching material. Turner has a brilliant offensive mind but he has never been successful at keeping the entire show together.
The Cleveland Browns are gambling on Turner's brilliance shining through in a reduced capacity.
Cleveland named their new head coach Rob Chudzinski on Wednesday.
Chudzinski innovated Carolina's offensive with Cam Newton as his star pupil. He has quickly set out to build a power offensive think-tank according to Peter Schrager of FOX Sports.

MiseryWritten by: John Lennon (60%), Paul McCartney (40%) (credited to Lennon-McCartney)
Recorded: February 11 and 20, 1963 (Studio 2, Abbey Road Studios, London, England)
Mixed: February 25, 1963
Length: 1:47
Takes: 16
Musicians: John Lennon: co-lead vocal, rhythm guitar (1958 Rickenbacker 325)
Paul McCartney: co-lead vocal, bass guitar (1961 Hofner 500/1)
George Harrison: lead guitar (1957 Gretsch Duo Jet G6128T)
Ringo Starr: drums (1960 Premier kit)
George Martin: piano (1905 Steinway Vertegrand "Mrs. Mills")
Released on: (CDs in bold)
- Please Please Me, (UK: Parlophone PMC 1202, PCS 3042, Parlophone CDP7 46435-2p, US: Capitol CLJ 46435)
- Introducing The Beatles, (US: VeeJay VJLP 1062)
- Rarities (US: Capitol SHAL 12060}
- The first song to be written by Lennon and McCartney for an outside artist, and also the first to be recorded by one, "Misery" was begun on January 26, 1962, after the manager of Helen Shapiro, a British teen sensation on tour with the Beatles at the time, noted that the singer needed material for an upcoming country music album to be recorded in Nashville. Before that evening's joint show (held in Stoke-on-Trent's King's Hall), the song was begun, and finished later at Paul's home at 20 Forthlin Road in Allerton, Liverpool.
- Ironically, Shapiro's manager ultimately rejected the song as too downbeat even for country, but singer Kenny Lynch decided to record it, making him the first non-Beatle to record a Lennon-McCartney composition. It was not a hit. However, when the band needed material to fill up their first LP, Please Please Me, this song was resurrected, and is considered one of the better originals from the band's earliest days. It was recorded during the famous one-day marathon session for the album, as the last song in the afternoon session, recorded just after "I Saw Her Standing There" (which is where it appears on the album). Producer George Martin added the final touches on a grand piano on February 20, mimicking a part originally performed by George on his guitar.
- As with every other original on Please Please Me, "Misery" is credited to "McCartney-Lennon," a practice which would be reversed starting with their next album, With The Beatles. Only original vinyl pressings of PPM have McCartney's name listed first in the credits.
- Kenny Lynch eventually appeared on the cover of Paul's Band On The Run album, while director Richard Lester, who'd filmed Shapiro in her debut It's Trad, Dad! later went on to film the group's A Hard Day's Night and Help! movies.

Select Route:
This is an officially named mountain but is really the high point of a spur extending east from The Divide, just south of Mt. Alice. Two routes climb the south-facing wall, and the 5th class West Ridge is an easy way to add this summit to a Mt. Alice adventure.
Getting There
From the Wild Basin trailhead, follow the trail to Thunder Lake and then on to Falcon Lake, directly below the peak. Tip: just before you reach the bridge crossing the creek at the base of the Calypso Cascades, there is a right turn one can take that shaves 1 mile or so off of the approach. The sign only suggests access to backcountry campsites, but the trail actually follows the creek all the way up to reconnect with the main trail.

This is the easiest route to the summit. Stay right on the ridge for some great exposure, or drift to the left for some slab climbing. The approach gully is obvious from the tarns below, but if you are approaching after summiting Mt. Alice, descend the SE slopes, and begin traversing south as soon as you can. Contour around until you are just below the first high point on the ridge extending east from the Divide south of Mt. Alice.

Grand Rapids seven-piece band The Soil and the Sun helped bring an enthusiastic and excited sold-out crowd to Hunter's Ale House, 4855 E. Bluegrass road Saturday.
Joe Hertler and the Rainbow Seekers closed out their last show as Central Michigan University students, as Lake Orion senior Hertler, guitarist and Commerce senior Ryan Hoger and Mount Pleasant senior Micah Bracken will be graduating after this semester.
Moses and Newday Dreamers opened for the indie folk band.
The Soil and the Sun drummer Benjamin Baker-Jackson said the band played Rubble's Bar, 112 W. Michigan St., earlier this year and the experience was something they did not expect; they were eager to come back to Mount Pleasant.
"People sang along to all the songs," Baker-Jackson said. "Having this show already booked, we were excited to come back."
Baker-Jackson describes the band's music as "new Mexican space music."
"It's such a genre-less type of music," he said. "It's tribal, pop, punk, jazz. A lot of times we call it rock and roll."
The group originally started out as a two-piece, often looping many different parts to fill the sound, but, as the group's sounds expanded, so did its members.
The Soil and the Sun electric guitarist William Campbell said the group is able to fill out their sound without overstepping different members' parts.
"With so many instruments, you need to leave room for each other," Campbell said.
He said his guitar playing is not riff-based but more atmospheric, often playing simple parts.
"No one can solo the whole time," he said. "It's all about the greater good of the music."
The band, which played the South by Southwest festival in Texas last year, tour in a converted bus complete with a living space and kitchen.
He said mechanically maintaining the bus while on tour can be sometimes difficult.
"On the last tour, we had a problem with the antifreeze and had to go through the mountains of West Virginia going 20 miles an hour," he said.
He said traveling has inspired their songwriting.
The song "Engadine" is about the band's experience of being stranded in the small Upper Peninsula town for two days while on a past tour.
Attendees at the concert took a liking to The Soil and the Sun's musical and instrumental diversity.
"They're very distant," Fenton sophomore Michael Burgess said. "There are a lot of unique instruments."
Ann Arbor resident Mike Jarrett, who came to the show based on the recommendation of his friends who had seen them in Grand Rapids, said the band's use of violin and oboe was different.
"You get a change of pace in the middle of the show," Jarrett said.
Mount Pleasant resident Hillary Hoffman said some of their songs were upbeat and energetic, particularly the second-to-last song in their set.
"Instrumentally, they're very talented," Hoffman said. "I came away a fan."
Hertler said he plans to continue his musical endeavors but will also pursue a career in elementary education.
"I would like to use my music in education someday," Hertler said. "Right now, I want to play rock and roll."

Fairfax, VA (Sports Network) - Kevin Foster netted 24 points, including the go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:13 remaining, to lift Santa Clara over George Mason, 80-77, to take the College Basketball Invitational title in the third and final game of the series.
Patrick Holloway's potentially game-tying left wing triple with a second remaining was off the mark.
Marc Trasolini tallied 20 points and six rebounds, while Evan Roquemore added 19 points, six assists, four boards and three steals for Santa Clara (26-12), which finished fourth in the West Coast Conference.
Sherrod Wright led George Mason (22-16) with 24 points and 10 rebounds.
After Foster's triple gave the Broncos a 75-73 lead, Bryon Allen and Foster missed treys before Vertrail Vaughns split a pair of free throws with 25 ticks remaining to pull the Patriots within one.
Four foul shots by Roquemore, sandwiched around an Allen layup, made it 79-76 with nine seconds left. Santa Clara elected to foul instead of defending the 3-pointer, but Wright missed the first free throw before sinking the second. Foster split a pair to make it 80-77 before Holloway missed his triple at the buzzer.
The Patriots took a 37-33 cushion into the break.

Rihanna Strips Down for Another Set of Sexy Vacation Pics!
Taking full advantage of her time off, Rihanna just released another set of steamy Instagram images from her birthday vacation today (February 22).
On holiday in Aspen, Colorado for her 26th birthday, the "We Found Love" singer posted a handful of pictures, featuring her in a barely-there bra, complimented by tight high silver pants.
Other of Rihanna's selfies find her braving sub zero temperatures to pose in a little white bikini in the snow, and also wearing a tiny orange top, holding her yummy birthday cake!
Describing the method to her fashion madness, the "Talk That Talk" singer told Vogue, "If I'm wearing a top, I don't wear a bra. If I'm wearing a bra, I just wear a bra."

While former Texas Rangers sluger Alex Rodriguez vows to fight seemingly everyone, the head of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency said Wednesday his group has never seen anything like the regimen of banned substances A-Rod allegedly took.
Rodriguez is suing Major League Baseball and the players' union after an arbitrator decided on that 162-game suspension you've heard about.
Baseball says A-Rod paid Anthony Bosch — who ran the Biogenisis Clinic — $12,000 a month to create a complex protocol of steroids and banned substances — lozenges, shots, creams — taken at all times during the day and night.
U.S. Anti-Doping Agency CEO Travis Tygart called it "probably the most potent and sophisticated drug program developed for an athlete that we've ever seen."
Don Hooton, president of the Taylor Hooton Foundation, has worked with Rodriguez, who talked to youngsters about a dozen times on behalf of the organization. He told them about the dangers of steroids at the same time baseball says he was still using performance-enhancing drugs.

Washington Supreme Court race still up in the air
After leading in vote counting for the past week, incumbent Washington Supreme Court Justice Richard Sanders now trails challenger Charlie Wiggins by 3,601 votes. With approximately 175,000 more votes to be counted in the next few days, the outcome of this race remains uncertain. Sanders is seeking his fourth term after a contentious campaign that saw him take the lead on election night, dwindling down to approximately 4,000 votes as of Monday. With more ballots counted today, Sanders now trails Wiggins.
In Washington, the recount process is fairly simple. If the margin is less than 2,000 votes and the candidates are within one half of one percent of the votes cast for both candidates, then state law mandates an automatic recount. RCS 29A.64.021. A candidate can also request a recount within 3 business days of certification of the results. RCW 29A.64.011. The candidate must pay twenty-five cents per every ballot requested to be recounted in the jurisdiction if by hand, or fifteen cents if by machine. RCW 29A.64.030. More information can be found here and here.

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! There is a lot of good material on the Web about how infertility patients should celebrate the day. Remember, you're in your baby making journey because of love -- love as a couple, if you are part of one; love for your future child or children; and self love, which is so important if you want to fulfill the other two types of loves.
Happy Post-Valentine's Day to Everyone! Postscript: Valentine's Day has come and gone, to the relief of many. But this is still valuable advice.

GBS is a worrisome development…
The buzz about Google Book Search (GBS) seemed to be dying down but then suddenly there are four articles in a week. Regardless of their numbers, behind the news stories work no doubt continues full tilt to realize the settlement's potential. I just want to find out how the story ends. If there were a last page, I would have turned to it a long time ago. If I could fast-forward 5 or 10 years, I would.
The January 5 NYT article by Motoko Rich, Google Hopes to Open a Trove of Little-Seen Books [sorry, I would link to it but NYT insists I register or login to access the article (it's 8:14 PM) and I don't do that kind of thing], included a really nice statistic that hints at one important aspect of the story's ending. Or maybe it's just a beginning. The stat carries a lot of the load for his story about tapping "a trove of information that had been locked away on the dusty shelves of libraries and in antiquarian bookstores.
According to Dan Clancy, the engineering director for Google book search, every month users view at least 10 pages of more than half of the one million out-of-copyright books that Google has scanned into its servers.
Google's book search "allows you to look for things that would be very difficult to search for otherwise," said Mr. Zimmer, whose site is visualthesaurus.com.
A settlement in October with authors and publishers who had brought two copyright lawsuits against Google will make it possible for users to read a far greater collection of books, including many still under copyright protection.
Read that again, the part that says that "every month users view at least 10 pages of more than half of the one million out-of-copyright books that Google has scanned into its servers." Wow. Think about what that means for the life of most books on our "dusty shelves." Actually, we don't let them get dusty, at least not so far.
The overwhelming majority of our books can start up their long-silent engines and back out of the dead ends their normal commercial lives rolled them down. People are searching online, books are coming up high enough in the search results that people see them, and they are clicking on those book links and using even public domain works. I'll dare to say, people seem to be reading public domain (ie, really, really, really old) books. At least 10 pages of over 1/2 of the million public domain books so far digitized — every month.
So, if you work in a library, take an old book off a shelf, any old book, and open its front cover and see how often it was checked out in the last 5 or 6 decades. Pick another book. And another. You can see where I'm going with this. I think these GBS "uses" are a wonderful thing for books, for their readers, their authors and, when we can get in-copyright works, their publishers or other copyright owners.
But Rich goes on to note how troubling this may be as well:
Some scholars worry that Google users are more likely to search for narrow information than to read at length. "I have to say that I think pedagogically and in terms of the advancement of scholarship, I have a concern that people will be encouraged to use books in this very fragmentary way," said Alice Prochaska, university librarian at Yale.
Yale's many libraries are fantastic places and all its librarians are lucky to work there. Alice, I think I understand what you are saying here, but look at those stats. People may not be reading Jane Austen cover to cover in GBS (maybe they are, maybe they are not), but isn't the possibility that a book that rarely would have come onto the radar screen at all has such an amazing chance to be found by someone and used for something, isn't that a good thing?
Surely Alice does not mean that books should be enjoyed a certain way or not at all. Maybe she worries that the numbers of people who read cover to cover will diminish. Or that people will "cite" a book for something that a more thorough reading might not support. But I don't think that's how it's going to work. Exposing books to search brings them to the attention of a much bigger audience then they could ever have on our shelves. Among the many people who will discover a book on GBS, a percentage, let's say a small percentage, will not just look at 10 pages. A small percentage will download the whole book and read it, or substantially all of it, cover to cover. These are people who never would have known the book existed except for having found it in a search for something else on Google. We will add these readers to the ones who come to the book from other, more traditional, perhaps scholarly, places. Scholars must stay within ethical bounds when they cite authority for other reasons besides the inability to find material with a narrow search. So, if a much larger percentage of those GBS readers who discover the book will not read it cover to cover or cite it at all, so what?
Neither the book's author nor the librarian who collected and protected it for decades can know what use someone not of our time, or our culture, or our values might have for a book that the author wrote to be read cover to cover. But we can take pleasure in the idea that people will use books in ways we never imagined. Isn't anything better than being parked and forgotten by most everyone at the dead end?

In its second year, the Captain Bob Lewis Kids Fishing Classic, held at Shake-A-Leg in Coconut Grove on Saturday, continued the vision of the tournament's namesake by passing along the tradition of fishing.
"My kids had some friends who had never fished before. So I got a bucket of shrimp and went down to the pier by Deering Estates," angler and father Scott Salyers said. "The one boy who had never caught a fish before managed to catch a nice mangrove snapper that was just a head bigger than the rest.
"The others caught more, but he had the biggest and that was all that mattered."
Salyers looked around at the many smiling, sun-kissed faces that were happily running around the Shake-A-Leg facility after a day of fishing and said: "That right there is what it is all about. These kids are the future of our sport."
Although there were some children who never fished before, there were some experienced youth anglers, such as Laurel David, who has four world records with the IGFA with cobia, African pompano, blackfin tuna and shortbill spearfish as a Small Fry. In Saturday's tournament she caught a 13-pound kingfish.
Daniel Horrowitz, 8, of Miami, couldn't have been more than 40 pounds, but he knew what he was talking about and reeled in a 31-pound blackfin tuna that was nearly bigger than him.
"I was fishing with live herring off the bottom," Horrowitz said. "We thought it was something else because we were fishing the bottom, but when I saw what it was, I was very surprised that it was a tuna!"
The most unique catch of the day was from Shaun McReynolds, 14, of Kendall, who released a 10-foot sawfish in Flamingo.
"We had half of a jack that we threw out about 10 feet behind the boat — I am not sure how big the weight was," McReynolds said. "After about 15 minutes, the reel started going off. We were fighting it for an hour, and when brought it up it was a sawfish."
The tournament included 196 boys and girls from all backgrounds and experience levels for a day of fishing from land, bridge, boat and pier.
It didn't matter where they fished from, just as long as they got out and experienced the thrill of fishing.

Tests have shown that nine out of 10 road testers prefer the Kawasaki ER-6f to virtually any other middleweight machine. Bandits, Fazers, Monsters, SV650s… The Kawasaki ER-6 has trounced the lot of 'em. A cunningly-disguised riot of fun, the Kawasaki ER-6f is cute, it's capable and it's competent just about anywhere. You'd have to be off your rocker not to ...

There wasn't much wrong with the old Versys, it just needed a few minor faults addressing which Kawasaki have done. They have reduced the engine vibration which was a major fault and improved the bike cosmetically, whilst adding more extras like heated grips. It's a jack of trades, and at under £6000 a bit of bargain all round bike. - ...

The original Kawasaki ER-6f was universally acclaimed by MCN's road testers and the revised ER sees the love affair continue. It's a rare package of fun, practicality and affordability, which is great for novices and experienced riders alike. Its sporty, Ninja looks prove budget doesn't have to mean bland, while revisions to the 649cc parallel twin engine have eradicated most of ...
649cc, 72bhp, 130mph, Insurance group 10
The first Kawasaki ER-6n already offered fantastic value for money – fun, practicality and decent looks for £4500. It didn't need a revamp, but for this year it now has a classier more grown up image. The chassis has been tweaked to isolate vibration, and suspension quality was also improved in response to owner comments.
498cc, 48bhp, 110mph, Insurance group 8
The Kawasaki ER-5 has a straightforward parallel-twin middleweight commuter that's as easy to use as a pair of pants. As a cheap workhorse you won't find much wrong with the Kawasaki ER-5 - providing your expectations don't go beyond simply getting from A to B.
123cc, 12bhp, 65mph, Insurance group 2
Something of a bus dodger are we, Sir? Then try the Kawasaki KH125 for your daily commute. Kawasaki KH125 costs buttons to buy and run, reliable and has just enough power to stick with urban traffic. The Kawasaki KH125 looks a bit dated now and it's a low tech two-stroke, but still a fun way to get to work.
498cc, 47bhp, 105mph, Insurance group 9
The original Kawasaki KLE500 was made from 1991-1998. Kawasaki's idea of a parallel twin commuter-cum-trailie then lay dormant for a few years before being reanimated in 2005. It's hard to see why Kawasaki bothered to be honest. The new KLE500 is uncomfortable, underpowered, uninspiring and uncommonly greedy. You'd be better off with the old Kawasaki KLE500.
553cc, 50bhp, 115mph, Insurance group 8
Launched the same time as the bigger 750 and 1100 Zephyrs, the Kawasaki Zephyr 550 never really caught on in the UK and once the Zephyr's reputation for corrosion spread, and the rival Suzuki Bandit 600 arrived in 1995, the 550 was doomed. It makes an OK commuter in the summer, but it is undepowered, rides too soft and rots ...
738cc, 76bhp, 125mph, Insurance group 9
The Kawasaki Z1 was an awesome bike in its day, but the Zephyr 750/1100 tribute bike - like tribute bands - doesn't quite capture the lairy, dangerous essence of the original. The 750 is too soft, a bit underpowered and the 1100 is simply a lardbucket that makes a Bandit 1200 look like a sportbike.
738cc, 75bhp, 126mph, Insurance group 11
With its proven engine, accessible power and easy handling, the Kawasaki ZR-7's the ideal choice for newbies, couriers, and anyone wanting an easy life. At its budget price, it'll appeal to the frugal, too. What it lacks in presence and excitement it makes up for in practicality and affordability.

An Arnold man faces charges related to making methamphetamine after police found pseudoephedrine and other chemicals in a car after a traffic stop.
Michael W. Millaway, 30, of the 800 block of Alan Avenue in Arnold, was charged Thursday with possession of a chemical with intent to make a controlled substance.
Kirkwood police said Millaway was a passenger in a car when it was pulled over for a traffic violation. Millaway and the driver had outstanding warrants, so the officer arrested both of them.
A vehicle search discovered pseudoephedrine, drain cleaner, ice packs and other items commonly used to make meth.
According to a court document, Millaway told the officer he bought the items to take to a drug dealer.
Millaway is being held in the Jefferson County jail. He faces a felony theft charge in a 2011 incident in Jefferson County.

I saw nothing in the Zimmerman case that surprised me. The system worked as it was intended. Zimmerman, a White man, was tried by a White justice system for killing a Black boy. The outcome was predictable. Many White people saw this as a non-racial event. As an angry old Black man I have seen the diminution of racism in my lifetime. We are not there yet. It is unlikely that we will get there in the lifetime of my grandchildren.

The thing I really like about the 2013 draft class is that it really molds to what Dallas needs. The Cowboys lack in offensive line, safety, defensive line, and running back. The draft class is loaded with talent in the trenches, and has multiple safeties that could garner a first round pick, and a couple that could be valuable pickups in the second or third rounds as well. The Cowboys are sitting at a really good spot at number 18 as well; there is bound to be a good safety prospect, guard, or d lineman on the clock when their pick comes around. As long as Jerry Jones doesn't make a stupid move and jump on a player Dallas doesn't need, the Cowboys should come out of the first round as winners. Here are the top 3 players I would like Dallas to take:
<!--[if !supportLists]-->1. <!--[endif]-->Jonathan Cooper
Cooper is an awesome guard. The reason he doesn't get the publicity of a bigger guy like Chance Warmack is cause Warmack comes from a bigger school, who just won the BCS Championship, and is a former member of what was probably the best offensive line in the college football in 2012, with the only challenger being Texas A&M. Cooper is almost just as good, and would provide the same bite, power, and protection that Tony Romo needs on his offensive line. This is my favorite prospect, because I can just drool at what this offense can be capable of doing with a mean guard like Cooper. Just imagine: the Cowboys preserving fourth quarter leads by feeding Murray the ball, who is given the space to keep the ball moving forward. Tony Romo with a few seconds in the pocket looking for Dez and Witten? I'd be on that train in an instant. I think the offense will thrive with a man like Cooper bringing around the finishing touches. The redzone offense would look better, Romo will take less hits, Murray won't meet as many defenders in the backfield, the run game will have some space, and Romo will laugh at defenders with Dez Bryant at his side all game long. If the Cowboys snag Cooper, I wouldn't be surprised at a top ten offense. You look at teams like the Patriots: the run game make the pass game even more fearful. They didn't have a good offensive output in their last game, but overall, you get the idea. The run game keeps drives alive to open up big pass plays. But you need solid blocking to execute.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->2. <!--[endif]-->Kenny Vaccaro
If the Cowboys decide to shore up the defense instead, my first pick would be to take Kenny Vaccaro. Vacarro would be an instant upgrade to the safety spot and that guy can be described with two simple words: game changer. The guy is a ball hawk. The guy is an excellent cover man. The guy is versatile. The guy can rush the passer. The guy can tackle. The guy can play well against the run. There's a lot to love, and just a little to hate. I'm not gonna lie, Vaccaro isn't the perfect safety. I have seen him get fooled by play action sometimes, and over pursue a ball carrier, resulting in a bad angle and a missed tackle. But I've also seen big plays. Vaccaro will solidify a yound secondary. No doubt Monte Kiffin would love the pick, and I would too. The front seven should be able to take care of themselves, and safety is a big need. This would be a perfect fit if Jonathan Cooper isn't available. Again, Dallas still finishes draft night one as winners.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->3. <!--[endif]-->Sheldon Richardson
Sheldon Richardson is an interesting option. I think he represents a similar case as our stud from 2010. That's right, his draft stock fits the same mold as Dez Bryant. Bryant deserved top 10 honors, but his character hurt his stock. I think Richardson is also deserving of a top 10 selection, but his off field issues raise some red flags and teams back off. This is a pick Jerry Jones won't mind making, but Jason Garrett will definitely bristle if Roger Goodel announces Richardwon as the Cowboys top pick. Rishardson is a beast of a defensive tackle. On some plays, he seems to fall into the back field like a divine gift for the defense. He just flies past the offensive line. He's big, he's fast, he'd disruptive, he can play well against the run. He is the whole package. Richardson would give the Cowboys an enormous punch at defensive tackle, and will be one heck of a weapon. The Cowboys fron seven would al improve together, with Richardson providing tons of pressure, and frequently blowing up the backfield. Star Lotuleilei is the best d line man available, but Sheldon Richardson comes freakin' close. If Richardson is on the clock, there is no reason why the Cowboys shouldn't put the troubles aside and pick him up.
