Television connoisseurs have long considered American Movie Classics (AMC) the Pixar of the small screen: Everything the nearly twenty year-old network touches turns to gold. But much like Pixar, AMC has recently revealed itself to be only an imperfect vehicle for screenwriting genius. For Pixar, the first evidence of decline was the trifling Cars (2006), though the company's four subsequent masterpieces (Ratatouille, WALL-E, Up, and Toy Story 3) were nearly enough for fans of big-screen animation to forgive Pixar its latest and most underwhelming efforts: Cars 2 (2011), Brave (2012), and Monsters University (2013). AMC hasn't yet experienced quite the downturn Pixar has, though it's worth noting, despite the current popularity of The Walking Dead, that no one would ever confuse either its writing or its plotting for that of network standouts Mad Men and Breaking Bad. And that's why when Hell on Wheels came along in 2011, it suddenly began to seem like the middling scripts and occasional hammy acting of AMC's zombie-apocalypse thriller were something less than coincidental. Hell on Wheels, whose third season premiered just two weeks ago, is widely and justifiably regarded as the worst offering on AMC to date. The reason? Bad acting, bad scripts, a bad concept, and a long line of small- and big-screen Westerns that have done everything Hell on Wheels aims to do, but exponentially better.
Hell on Wheels centers around Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount), a former Confederate officer who's predictably mysterious and charismatic, though he also has—of course—the heart of a gentleman. Bohannon leaves his Mississippi home to work on the railroad, an inauspicious life decision that shortly takes him to Hell on Wheels, the tent city that follows the leading edge of the Union Pacific railroad. The landowning Southerner Bohannon released all his slaves prior to the onset of the Civil War; this is hammered home repeatedly in the show's early episodes, lest viewers begin questioning the likability of a man whose sole occupation at present is murdering former Union soldiers he has a grudge against. Of course, even Bohannon's half-secret homicidal agenda is entirely in keeping with the ground rules for a television anti-hero: he's trying to track down the men who assaulted and killed his wife. However, the fact that he doesn't know his wife was murdered when he begins his rampage (incredibly and inexplicably, he believes her to have committed suicide after being raped) undercuts his steely determination somewhat.
It's not entirely clear what there is about Cullen Bohannon to draw admiration or even interest. Like thousands of others of his era, he's a reasonably good-looking former soldier who occasionally led men in battle capably, who in the postwar era soon discovered that the homeland he'd once fought for no longer existed. If it weren't for the focus of AMC's cameras, one would expect such a man to live and die anonymously doing hard labor somewhere in the American West, or drinking himself to a stupor in Dixie. Given even the dull-witted viewer's near-certainty that Bohannon will find and ultimately execute his wife's murderers—coincidentally, he's only got one man left to kill by the third episode of the series—it's not at all clear where the character's story should go, and there's no particularly compelling reason for a viewer to stick around and find out. Anson Mount may be an attractive and suitably understated leading man, but even a likely suspect for the role can do little with such thin gruel.
The show's supporting cast is equally uninspiring. Tom Noonan plays Reverend Cole, the obligatory fish-out-of-water evangelist tasked with converting sinners obviously beyond his reach; as in his appearances elsewhere (ranging from the great Manhunter to the criminally underrated films What Happened Was and Synecdoche, New York), Noonan plays "creepy" exceedingly well but "ethereal" and "wise" with a glaring ineptitude. You'd hardly let the man babysit your children, let alone shepherd you to eternity. Colm Meaney plays a vaguely Irish heavy the way he always has: By raising his voice and indulging in a series of facial tics that would make Elmer Fudd blush. Common—a rapper, not an actor—does his level best as recently freed slave Elam Ferguson, but his every utterance is so charged with bitterness and dormant rage that it's a wonder anyone in 1865 would hire him in the first place, let alone make him de facto spokesman for Union Pacific's overworked and underpaid black linemen. Dominique McElligott, clearly slated to be Bohannon's love interest from the moment she appears on screen—her bookish land surveyor husband is predictably written out of the script almost immediately—is a talented enough actress, but the presence of a British lady in the midst of Cheyenne territory in 1865 is so contrived as to offend even the most credulous of viewers. The less said about the show's heavily-accented comic relief the better: Ben Esler and Phil Burke do yeoman's work bringing outrageous Irish stereotypes back into vogue, as two entrepreneurs whose unlikely business plan involves a "magic lantern" and blurry slides of Irish vistas. As AMC has a long history of airing the best ensemble shows on American television, it's not exactly clear what's happened here. Of the ten to fifteen regulars on Hell on Wheels, it seems all but two or three were chosen by a ear-plugged and blindfolded talent scout who'd never seen any of their previous work nor watched even a single specimen of the Western genre.
One exception to the above is Christopher Heyerdahl, who plays Thor Gundersen, a ex-Union quartermaster from Norway whose experiences as a POW in Andersonville prepared him well for his new life as a Union Pacific enforcer. Appropriately spectral and menacing, Heyerdahl's performance is undercut by the fact that he hasn't actually been given much to do except illegally skim from the company and shadow Bohannon as he moves about the camp. It's bad enough that Gundersen, known in Hell on Wheels as "The Swede," suspects Bohannon of killing a company hack on little evidence, as it undercuts viewers' confidence in his (strongly implied) intelligence. Far worse are his repeated and coyly cryptic intimations, to anyone who'll listen, that "there's something strange" about Bohannon. In fact, what supposedly makes the show's leading man unusual is the same hackneyed revenge plotline we've seen in everything from Django Unchained to Gladiator.
What's most surprising about Hell on Wheels is how poorly written it is. Meaney's Thomas Durant is so hamfistedly villainous that he actually slanders the just-murdered husband of Lily Bell (McElligott) and tries to ingratiate himself with her romantically during the same horribly contrived dinner-date. The racial animus between Elam Ferguson and several white Union Pacific men, much like the cross-racial sexual attraction between Ferguson and Eva (Robin McLeavy), a former white slave turned prostitute, is so awkwardly handled and woodenly written it makes the scriptwriters of Glory seem screenwriting prodigies by comparison. Even Bohannon, who's been given some of the show's better lines, turns in such a desultory performance as a railroad foreman and selfless do-gooder that he receives from even credulous viewers only slim credit for either role. One suspects the show's writers simply had too much confidence in their creations to realize they'd given them nothing actually interesting to do or say--a circumstance made all the more surprising by the fact that watching any previous Western would have offered sufficient guidance on what mustn't be done yet again. Instead, there's hardly any Western trope that Hell on Wheels fails to not only exploit but wallow in: a hero of few words; a helpless lady; hapless immigrant sidekicks; a cunning and humorless adversary; a greedy and unscrupulous businessman; a "converted savage" (Eddie Spears as Joe Moon, a baptized Cheyenne whose soul-searching is tiresome and trite); a preacher out of his depth; a dark secret that leads to many deaths; and so on. Deadwood this is not; that show, the best small-screen Western this side of Lonesome Dove, gave us fully-realized characters whose eccentricities and complex moral codes were entirely novel, and whose alternately dastardly and heroic deeds were, in consequence, entirely astonishing.
Yet the real culprit behind the lackluster presentation of Hell on Wheels is the show's central conceit: A mobile city of tents that follows the Union Pacific railroad as it makes its way slowly West. The show makes virtually no use whatsoever of the transient and ephemeral nature of Hell on Wheels, as not only does the cast remain fairly static, there are also no major plotlines associated with having to strike camp and move the entire town every few days. Nor can the show do much with its 1865 setting, as the fallout from the Civil War was—at that early point in the Reconstruction process—more or less predictable, presaged as it was by similarly sudden cessations of military hostilities in other nations throughout the eighteenth and seventeenth centuries. 1865 is simply too early for America to have done much soul-searching with respect to its recent near-dissolution, and consequently the former soldiers of Hell on Wheels are left asking one another easy questions like "Who did you fight for?", "Did you own slaves?", and (worst of all) "Did you have sex with any?" Meanwhile, Durant's ambition to squeeze as much money as he can out of Union Pacific's manifest destiny-driven enterprise is little different from that of any other war profiteer or shifty-eyed businessman. That the expansion of the nation's railroads to California represented for war-torn America a chance to self-realize its grand ambitions has been so thoroughly investigated in all forms of media that Hell on Wheels would need to go to extraordinary lengths to add to that narrative, and it doesn't.
AMC has, by now, earned enough trust from its viewership, including this author, that one finds oneself searching for some complicated explanation for the noxious badness of Hell on Wheels--rather than simply accepting that AMC greenlighted a project it should not have. Did the network, one wonders, worry that it hadn't yet ventured into Westerns, and was it thus predisposed to pull the trigger on Joe and Tony Gayton's flimsy script? Was it hoping to stand on the coattails of the nation's abiding interest in Southern culture, as epitomized by present ratings king Duck Dynasty? Did it see, in the moderate success of A&E's Longmire, a possible opening for yet another cowboy hero? Were the lush settings promised by a Western like Hell on Wheels simply too much for a cash-flush operation like AMC to resist? Were AMC executives seduced by writer Tony Gayton's pedigree, a pedigree that includes a film-school diploma from USC and an apprenticeship to John Milius, who was, among other things, the creator of HBO's excellent but equally expensive Rome? Certainly, the network must have seen something in the Gaytons, Tony particularly, yet it's not at all clear what: Tony's previous television work was limited to a single made-for-TV movie in 2006, and he's been credited on only five feature films, none of which were notable (the only exception being 2010's Faster, which starred Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson yet grossed only $35 million worldwide).
Critics have been predictably unkind to Hell on Wheels. The Huffington Post called it "tedious," TV Guide "heavy-handed," USA Today "as subtle as a sledgehammer," The San Francisco Chronicle "cartoonish," The
The final nail in the coffin for Hell on Wheels is that scourge of all television programs that begin slowly: Most viewers simply won't have the patience to find out if the show's writers ultimately find their footing. And given that the aggregate reviews for the second and third seasons of Hell on Wheels are not so different from those for the first--Metacritic lists Season 2 as a middling 60, and (with only four reviews thus far) Season 3 as a possibly promising 74--it's not certain that Hell on Wheels can offer viewers much payoff, even with the long runway it's been given. If you absolutely love Westerns; if you're an AMC completist; if you're willing to laugh out loud at dialogue you know isn't intended to be funny; if you find either Anson Mount or Dominique McElligott eye-catching enough to warrant squandering much of your down-time, by all means see if you can muster the energy to make it to Season 3 of Hell on Wheels. The rest of us will just have to be satisfied with the final episodes of Mad Men and Breaking Bad, and remembering fondly the network's other triumphs: an episode here and there of The Walking Dead; the first season of The Killing; and much if not all of the single-season run of Rubicon. As cable-network track records go, that's still a pretty good one.

Just finished Season 2 of this train wreck of a show. Cartoonish, lost, bad acting complemented with even worse writing. Plotting that is beyond incredulous to plain bizarre fantasy. The above review is spot on and perfectly written. Will not be returning for Season 3 or 4. Thinking of having my head examined just for actually sticking it out and wasting the time watching the first two seasons.
Al | August 17, 2014 2:35 PM
This guy is nuts! I love this show! Yeah, some parts are goofy but unreal but Bohannon reminds me of a Sackett in a Louis L'Amour novel.
Tons of action and excitement. I don't believe this pretensious and arrogant Seth Abramson would know either if it hit him in the face!
Dave | August 14, 2014 1:37 PM
Has this writer been sleeping? This is one of the best shows I have ever watched! Season 4 just started so I guess it does not matter what this idiot says anyway!
Ginger | August 4, 2014 3:25 PM
Seth, I think your review is beyond pedantic. The show, the characters, story lines, scenery, etc., are engaging, dynamic, even riveting. The negative reviewers should remember that it's a TV show! I started watching the show last week on Netflix and couldn't turn it off until the last episode of season 3. It's an awesome show!
I agree with Sammy - it was quite obvious that the show was taking viewers on a journey, not only on the map but in the characters' development and stories.
sammy | August 2, 2014 12:17 AM
Well, It is about to come back tomorrow for a 4th season and an expanded one at that so, I guess you were wrong. Viewers have patience. Why is it that these reviewers feel so inclined to make themselves seem more than the average viewer? We are not retards. We know that shows sometimes take a little while to come into their own. Yes, I know the first 2 seasons were not great. They were still plenty watchable and enjoyable. Season 3 was great however. It has turned into a completely different show (new showrunner) and a much improved show. As you said, 74 on metacritic. As well as good reviews most everywhere else not included on Metacritic. The reviews for season 4 are also great so far. In short, You are wrong.
Rebekah | July 26, 2014 9:31 PM
I simple love this show and it's cast. You apparently don't know a good thing. As fare as Colm meaney's role I think its good even award winning (He's always been a good actor even in his trek days) .
I like how they don't make the west like they do in romance books (Where the hero saves the woman extra). This is the nitty gritty west folks and the west wasn't a pretty place not at all and that is why I like this show, cause it shows the real side of the west.
RayD | July 23, 2014 6:45 AM
I've watched all the shows mentioned in this review. Hell on Wheels is better. Its gritty, its coarse, it lets our imaginations take a peek at history. I'm sorry your favorite shows got cancelled, and take an unbiased view at what television is producing.
Hg123 | July 21, 2014 8:47 PM
This review is very wrong
Donna | July 20, 2014 11:01 PM
I agree this reviewer has an opinion but it's definitely not the majority. As far as the idea that other's have panned this show as meandering, jerky, etc...I don't know what else they were doing when watching this series. I can't wait for season 4. I grew up on westerns and have not missed them until now. I've watched the Walking Dead and cannot do any more than the 3 episodes, love MadMen and Breaking Bad. Loved Prison Break as well. Hell on Wheels is a keeper so bring it on...
Ana | June 23, 2014 1:27 AM
This is a great show. I disagree with most of what this reviewer has to say. It's easy to turn your nose up at the creative efforts of others. "Hell On Wheels" is an exciting, unpredictable, and well-acted show - with great dialogue, thrilling sequences, and truly great character exploration. I'm really looking forward to the next installment.
waldo | April 24, 2014 8:29 PM
The reviewer is full of horseshit.
jim | March 29, 2014 5:03 AM
I totally disagree with this review also. I am not stupid for liking this series as everyone seems to imply. I mean seriously if you wash any amount of tv for any length of time you are not really using any grey matter anyway, regardless of content, but i still enjoy treating myself once in awhile.
I think AMC has done a masterful job of developing the characters, they have made the series gritty, unforgiving, unafraid to lose important characters, much like TWD. It is clear in the third season that they are paying far more attention to detail and story flow than they did in season two, and as a consequence i am eager to see it continue.
As to the lack of a major story line, did you watch it? how did you miss the race to be the first trans continental rail line? all other stories are minor, the program itself is named after the makeshift town which follows this construction, i think i see a fairly clear direction.
HOW seriously is one of the few that have held my attention and i think well worth the watch. Really looking forward to the demise of that creepy swede.
trevor baldwin | March 24, 2014 1:29 PM
have to totally disagree with the review, started watching hell on wheels by chance and am about to get up to the end of series 2. great series with some great action. disappointed that lily was killed off but looking forward to series 3 now.
LOR | January 31, 2014 9:23 PM
If the majority don't like Hell on Wheels, then I'm ok with that. It will have a cult following. (as long as it stays on the air...or heck netflix pick it up maybe??)
The fact that you don't know where the story is going is thrilling...keeps me watching, hanging on the edge of my seat. The setting, the photography & acting is great. The bitter rivalry between Bohannon & the Swede is PERFECT. The story has flaws,yes, but what show doesn't??Even breaking bad had it's flaws (in my opinion).
So, to each it's own. I am not a fan of westerns but I LOVE Hell on Wheels. It isn't just a western but a drama, thriller, action etc.
Also, I think season 3 didn't fare too well with viewers because of it's lack of a real epic ending... and the whole run around with characters... but I think devoted fans will be pleased with what happens in season 4 (hopefully they will make the wait worthwhile).
prashant | November 5, 2013 2:04 PM
i agree, HOW is at best an extremely ordinary show. it is a dumbed down western for those viewers who do not wish to spend any energy in using grey matter. no story, no direction, no reason for the endless episode after episode. just when it felt that zombie shows and police procedurals will be the end of tv, HOW has set a new low in a different genre.
if a show like magic city can be cancelled due to low ratings, but walking dead and HOW keep their viewership intact, everyone with some brains should be worried about the future of television in america.
Davis | October 26, 2013 6:46 PM
I don't know what these reviewers are watching. This is a great show. I will be very disappointed in AMC if they do not return H.O.W. for season 4. It is a different kind of western, that shows some of the challenges of bringing in our first intercontinental transportation system. Something we take for granted these days. Yeah, its fictional, but it at least gets you to think what it might have been like dealing with unknown indians and protective landowners. Cool show. Entertaining show! Please make another run with it if not 2, 3, or 4 more!
Donna | October 20, 2013 2:06 PM
I am absolutely in love with Hell On Wheels. Yes, it's messy, nothing too neatly tied up in a pretty little bow at the end of every episode - much like life in general. This nation was undergoing an extreme flux in how business was conducted and how the general norms of the new post war nation's society was going to move on.
My only complaint - where do I get poster of the Season 3 DVD cover? It would go nice with a One Less Mule t-shirt.
Concur with you ROB - fingers crossed for a season 4 - have to know how things come down between the Norwegian "Swede" and Cullen. And the baby's mama and Cullen. Can't see Cullen leaving family behind, can't see him Get Behind The Mule for very long either.
Rob | October 5, 2013 6:16 AM
I still love the show and I hope it gets renewed for season 4. All these comments, including the review, come from people that love to hear themselves try to sound intelligent. Just sit back and enjoy a really cool modern Western show. How many are there to choose from? C'mon man!!!
Mark | October 4, 2013 6:24 AM
I have watched every Hell on Wheels show since the beginning and the first TV shows I ever saw go back to Howdy Doody in the mid-1950s. I've seen so many different shows in my 63 years of living that it comes as a big surprise to me how critical you are of the innovative, eclectic Hell on Wheels. It seems great modern TV to high-brow Ivy League graduates like you are Breaking Bad -- which just by its main issue (perfecting meth) is a really encouraging subject matter for an America and world suffering in pain by ever greater numbers of people hooked by soul- and body-killing drugs that are becoming more and more lethal -- and perhaps The Sopranos, which -- if you admired the writing and characters on that program -- glorified mob killings, torture, outrageous lying, and endless fighting by the primary married couple. At any rate, my friend, your writing and reviewing reminds me of people who just love to admire their own writing ... And I have been a writer and publisher since age 18 and working hard at one of the great university newspapers in America back in 1968. I Love Hell on Wheels for its oddities, incongruities, and the story lines to me are always intriguing. As opposed to you, I think the actors, by and large, are terrific, especially Anson Mount, Common, as well as all the "bad guys." Perhaps your extremely negative review will help to end the show with Season Three being its demise; and I have watched other fascinating programs destroyed by overly-analytical thinkers out there. However, I think the cinematography and the close-up shots on Hell on Wheels help to make it a very entertaining experience and my girlfriend of the last 24 years feels exactly as I do. So, in closing, I wonder why you can't just sit back, relax, stop trying to think so much, and just let the program's unusual post-Civil War setting take over in your mind's eye for at least an episode or two...as He'll on Wheels isn't, shall we say, anything like Bonanza, which, if my 63-year-old memory serves correct, was the #1 rated show on TV for several years back in the late 1960s...and He'll on Wheels towers over that old-time, silly, top-rated TV show from 40+ years ago. Wishing you success along your critical reviewing path -- if that makes you happy...Mark
Glenn I | August 31, 2013 7:43 PM
My husband has gotten into "Hells on Wheels". I try to avoid television, though there are shows I enjoy and make sure I catch. "Breaking Bad" would be one of those. I got seduced by "Deadwood". Even though some of the characters in "Deadwood" were repellent, the writing was consistently interesting and the acting sold it. When K has "Hell" on I will watch a couple minutes and it tends to look good but tasty words don't emerge from the character's mouths and no plot I've caught hints of have convinced me I need to stick around.
Broud Fasher | August 30, 2013 7:36 PM
The disappointing thing about this article is that it seems to only be a review of the shows first few episodes, which aired years ago. Since then the Gaytons have been fired, their replacement replaced, and Dominique McElligott, Tom Noonan and Eddie Spears have all been dropped from the show, along with the revenge storyline which was never resolved before being abandoned.
A lot has changed, in other words, and I'd be interested in hearing your take on the show as it is now, as opposed to how it began. For my part, I will say that the writing is still absolutely terrible and ham fisted and that the story is going absolutely nowhere, but then... that's kind of interesting, isn't it? This show chugs along, seemingly with much carnage behind the scenes, but none of it ever amounts to anything on screen. Why is that? Does nobody in charge WANT it to be good? They seem to realise that it's BAD. Otherwise why all the constant changes? Is the bad writing a STRATEGY? If not, why perpetuate it when hiring new writers? Have the fine folks at AMC become so bad at their jobs that all they are capable of doing about this disaster is to shift the deck chairs on the Titanic as it slowly (rapidly?) sinks? Do they think their bizarre choices are helping, only to be utterly surprised every time their new hire turns out to be as terrible as the last?
It's deeply fascinating. They know the show has no buzz, and poor ratings. They take that as their cue to make changes. They make the WRONG changes. Again and again. Morons.
George Papaspyrou | August 30, 2013 7:01 PM
Although I only partly agree with your opinions, I do find them interesting and well presented. One doesn't come across well constructed sentences and proper English very often these days. Good work! George Papaspyrou.
CWW | August 30, 2013 9:25 AM
You keep mentioning AMC's "long history" of quality television. Time must be relative because they only got this reputation after Mad Men started in 2007. And as of now, the only other show that AMC airs that gets any critical and audience respect is Breaking Bad. So two shows don't seem to establish this reputation for being a place for quality television. As such, Hell On Wheels is not some aberration on an otherwise unimpeachable roster of shows. It's par for the course and AMC's two good shows are actually the exception.

AFC Bournemouth v Liverpool: Howe keeping his cup options open
7:33pm Friday 17th January 2014 in Sport By Neil Perrett
MANAGER Eddie Howe says he is keeping his options open regarding his team selection for Cherries' FA Cup showdown with Liverpool.
Howe made five changes to his starting line-up as Cherries set up a date with the Premier League big guns by sweeping aside Burton Albion on Tuesday.
Goalkeeper Ryan Allsop, fit-again defender Steve Cook, winger Marc Pugh and strikers Brett Pitman and Tokelo Rantie were all recalled as Cherries ran out convincing 4-1 victors.
While Howe had hinted he would shuffle his pack, Allsop always looked certain to start as Lee Camp had been ineligible due to his permanent signing going through after the third round registration deadline.
Camp, however, will be available for selection when Cherries lock horns with Liverpool, with the experienced stopper expected to regain his place in today's Championship showdown with Watford.
Howe, asked whether he would be sticking with a specific FA Cup line-up, told the Daily Echo: "I will have a look at things in the build up to the Liverpool game and try to make the right decisions.
"We want to win and there is no point going into any game thinking you want to be gallant losers. We know the odds will be stacked heavily against us but we want to try to cause an upset so I will try to pick the right team for that game.
"Liverpool are taking the competition seriously and I think that is really good to see.
"The fact Brendan Rodgers played his star players in their third round tie against Oldham showed the importance of the cup to them.
"Hopefully, our supporters see the full Liverpool team because that would make it an even more special occasion."

Backpacker Magazine – March 2008
Aku Suiterra Injected GTX
After a 25-miler in the Tetons, our Northwest editor declared this high-cut a versatile performer for its low weight. The fit is luxurious, cradling the heel and supporting the arch while allowing the toes enough space to avoid jamming on long, steep descents. The boots remained comfortable throughout a 10-hour day carrying 35 pounds. With a moderately stiff midsole, excellent torsional rigidity, and a rigid exoskeleton, the Suiterras proved super stable during miles of off-trail scrambling. Yet a collar that flexes in all directions made for easy trail striding: "I practically jogged down the numerous switchbacks of the Alaska Basin Trail," he said. Most impressively, they weigh in a half-pound or more lighter than comparable models. Waterproofing proved flawless, but breathability was just OK; they felt a little warm on hot days. Best for medium-volume feet. $210; 2 lbs. 6 oz.
Garmont Sitka XCR
These boots perform well above their weight class. "I wore them on a three-day scramble through Utah's Waterpocket Fold, and they felt featherweight and bouncy underfoot, yet they had the support and armor to bash around on steep, fractured rocks," our Rocky Mountain editor said. Ventilation is good for a waterproof leather model, thanks to a fabric tongue that seems to pump in air with every stride. The deeply lugged outsole with its beveled edge feels plenty stable. Traction is decent and it excels at striding. Bottom line: A great value for moderate-load backpacking in rough terrain and soggy weather. Best for wider, high-volume feet. $160; 2 lbs. 8 oz.
I finished the Appalachian Trail in the same pair of Keen Targhee II Mids I started with. Yeah, they were shot. But they were damn comfortable! Would like to see a Vibram deep lug sole as apposed to the slick carbon rubber. I think that would do alot with the sole separation issues also.
I got my aku suiterra injected GTX from sierratradingpost.com .. the aku website it aku.it
I still have my OneSport Moraines... Best boots I've ever owned or tried.
I'm disappointed to see one positive review after another though... It leaves the impression that the reviewers are afraid of offending an advertiser.
I have low volume feet and have found Montrails to be a good fit, and adequate quality. I also have ridgid flat feet (the really bad kind of flat feet) and the Montrail GTX Classic (not "Classic" when I bought them) have lended great support. I also have the circulation problems that many low-volume feet have. I find that lacing around the (Dorsalis pedis - mid tongue) AND a tongue pad helps distibute the pressure.
Ratings boots that can not be purchase makes no sense. AKU website is in French, toll free number 877 864-7249 is disconnected and no major distributors on East coast such as Campmor or Easter Mountain Store have them in stock. Don't forget boots you have to try first.
I used to have a pair of One Sport Moraines. Are the Montrail Helium comporable to the Moranes?
Does anybody know where to buy AKU Suiterra injected GTX?
Keen Targhee II Mid absoute rubbish, they leak like a seive and the lugs come off the sole, comfortable? Yes. Practical? NO! I have sent 3 pair back
Thanks for nothing. What about people (men) with low volume feet?!

Adapting to a Changing Coastline
Millions of us spend a fair amount of time daydreaming about being at the coast.

Bundles and bags had been opened and rifled to find odd balls for the hat project-- and things were a mess.
My swift was once again operational, (now that the huge skein of cashmere has been untangled and balled up) and so yesterday I balled up a dozen different hanks of yarn; 2 huge (485m!) ones of cotton, 5 small ones (90 m) of wool, and a bunch of skeins smaller and larger than those first 2.
Most of the yarn got packed into clear bags (and the clear bags got packed into those clear 'suit cases" (the kind that are use for "bed in bag" sets).
3 suit cases later-- the floor emerged!
I didn't just pack, I organized.. (Cotton's in one collection, Mohair in another, wools separate from wool blends, (and still, there is a huge collection of odd balls and partial skeins!)
The worst part? I was reminded of lovely yarns I forgot I had.. (and now my mental queue of

Renzo Gracie is so old school, he began tapping fools out as a professional fighter a full year before his cousin Rorian and ad man Art Davie's brainchild the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) held its first show. Considering that we're coming up on the twentieth anniversary of UFC 1, which was held on Nov. 12, 1993, it's probably safe to say Gracie is a man who has seen and done it all over his two decades in the sport.
The inaugural UFC was held long before Olympic Gold Medalist Jeff Blatnick coined the term mixed martial arts (MMA) to help make a sport that was often derisively referred to as "human cockfighting" palatable to cable executives. Since the Portuguese term "vale tudo" was never going to catch on in the United States, back then competitors like Renzo were popularly referred to as no-holds barred (NHB) fighters.
Gracie's roots in this old school outlaw mentality might go a long way toward explaining his take on Rousimar Palhares' recent firing from the UFC, which came after holding on to his submission against Mike Pierce last week in Brazil, despite the fact that Pierce had already surrendered.
@ ToquinhoMMA: @ RenzoGracieBJJ thanks for the words master, I have been crucified as a bad character, a person of evil ... You are not— Renzo_Gracie_BJJ (@RenzoGracieBJJ) October 15, 2013
@ndebevoise it's not his character... It's his intentions... He wasn't looking to intentionally hurt his opponent.. Watch it again. Look him— Renzo_Gracie_BJJ (@RenzoGracieBJJ) October 15, 2013
In case you want to, in Gracie's vernacular "look him" again with your own two eyes, click here and judge Palhares' actions for yourself.
Gracie wasn't done defending Palhares with the NHB code of honor, however.
We are in a fight business.. If we will begin a witch hunt the intensity of our sport will be gone.. We are suppose to get hurt...— Renzo_Gracie_BJJ (@RenzoGracieBJJ) October 15, 2013
While nobody wants to see a fist fight where the violence is ratcheted down to the level of a pillow fight, I'm not sure putting an opponent at risk for potentially career-ending knee ligament tears -- after he has already given up -- falls under the purview of acceptable risk in combat sports.
Then again, perhaps the following machismo-drenched tweet gives you a better idea where Renzo is coming from.
I'm extremely piss... That I will end the rest of my days with all my teeth in my mouth. Makes me question if I really fought the great ones— Renzo_Gracie_BJJ (@RenzoGracieBJJ) October 15, 2013
It takes a special kind of man to regret the lack of gaps in his smile.
As phenomenal as that quote admittedly is, one has to wonder if Gracie would have the same forgiving attitude toward Palhares if he had been caught in that heel hook and put at the risk of significant damage, rather than Pierce, especially considering his arm went snap, crackle, pop against Kazushi Sakuraba over a decade ago in PRIDE.
Of course, Renzo does have a point though, when he mentions the thin line professional fighters have to walk when it comes to flipping the switch from relentless aggression to professional poise on the drop of a dime.
@JoshGrossESPN true Josh.. But we get be careful, if they don't bring intensity they get fired, if they do.. They get fired.. It's a fight— Renzo_Gracie_BJJ (@RenzoGracieBJJ) October 15, 2013
There's never a dull moment on Gracie's Twitter, so be sure to follow him for more of his unique wit, wisdom, and real time accounts of vigilante justice on the mean streets of New York.

(Updates with comments from Safeway's CEO on conference call, including sales guidance.)
By Annie Gasparro
Safeway Inc.'s (SWY) sales growth is weaker than expected so far this year, but the supermarket operator says it will gain momentum in the second half, as more customers sign up for its new loyalty program and it completes the roll-out of its gas-station rewards.
Safeway's shares were slammed in recent trading Thursday, falling 16% to $23.84, as investors were hoping for stronger sales trends, even though Safeway's adjusted first-quarter profit matched analysts' expectations. The stock had risen about 45% over the past three months through Wednesday.
Chief Executive Steve Burd, who is planning to retire soon, said that "we are a little disappointed with [identical-store sales] in the first quarter," adding, "We've always said the ID sales will build as we move throughout the year."
In the first quarter, Safeway's identical-store sales, excluding fuel, rose 1.5%, falling below the company's expectation of 1.8% to 2% growth, as more customers switched to generic drugs.
Mr. Burd said that this quarter will be roughly the same as the first, but he still sees a full-year range of 1.5% to 1.8% growth.
Safeway--which operates 1,638 grocery stores under its own name and regional chains such as Vons and Randalls--recently saw its sales trends return to growth, after struggling in the face of heightened competition and a dismal economy.
"I think consumers are trying to be careful with how they spend their dollars, and I think food retailers see that more than anyone else out there, because people have to shop for food on a weekly basis," Mr. Burd said.
Like its peers, Safeway is grappling with more competition from dollar stores and mass-market retailers like Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) that are expanding their grocery departments, while low consumer confidence is putting more pressure on prices.
Safeway said that even though inflation has subsided, it is still being pressured by the competition to keep its prices down--and doing so hurts its margin.
"Our price investment is essentially dictated by the competition," Mr. Burd said. "It is what it has to be in order to maintain and build market share."
Safeway says it has been able to regain market share by adding emphasis on value with its "Just for U" loyalty program, for which 20,000 new households are registering each week, and the nationwide roll-out of its gas-reward points, which will be completed by the end of July.
Rival grocery store operator Supevalu Inc. (SVU), said Wednesday that its sales trends are still on the decline, after recently selling off five of its chains. But its new chief executive, Sam Duncan, instilled confidence in investors, with talk of cost-cutting at corporate headquarters and returning store-operation decisions to regional management.
Mr. Burd said the latest period marks Safeway's fourth consecutive quarter of market-share gains in both the supermarket industry and among all stores selling groceries.
He also has pointed to a health-and-wellness initiative Safeway plans to launch later this year as a significant sales-driving opportunity.
Safeway reported a first-quarter profit of $118.9 million, or 49 cents a share, up from $72.9 million, or 27 cents a share, a year earlier, as this year's period included a 14-cent-per-share tax benefit.
Revenue was essentially flat at $9.99 billion.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters were expecting earnings of 35 cents a share on revenue of $10.16 billion.
Sales volumes rose 0.5% in the first quarter, and gross margin narrowed 0.14 of a percentage point to 26.7%.

A female motorcyclist from Glendale was killed in a single-vehicle collision on Sunday.
Sunday afternoon just before 1 p.m., Prescott Police officers responded to an accident at State Route 89 at mile marker 318.
They discovered that a 2003 Harley Davidson motorcycle had been traveling south on SR 89 when it left the roadway and traveled onto the dirt shoulder. When meeting the dirt shoulder, the motorcycle lost control and turned on its side, coming to a rest on the shoulder.
The driver, 48-year-old Patsy Banks of Glendale, was not wearing a helmet and was ejected. She was treated at the scene by firefighters and taken to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
SR 89 was closed for several hours. The investigation is ongoing -- however, speed does not appear to be a factor.

I've failed on a sport, a picnic and something bizarre. Does this mean that I can't participate? Well, I'm going to anyway and apologies for the missing three. This is what I did manage.
A Fountain. This is at the back of Bantry House, in a circular pond surrounded with ancient wisteria.
A Boat. One of the ferries that carries us all back and forth between Bere Island and Castletownbere.
Mountains. Looking east across Adrigole Bay to the Caha Mountains.
Street Food. A stall at Bantry Market.
Market Day. Bantry Market once again.
A Festival or Funfair. Ran across this sad looking fairground just outside Skibbereen.
Bread. A day's baking that keeps us in bread for weeks.
Fabric. No trouble with this one!
Something Ancient. This Gallan or standing stone dates from the bronze age and is said to stand at the centre of Bere Island.
Not a brilliant scavenge – perhaps I'll do better next month.

Here's a little something short for you about the upcoming Attack on Titan live-action adaptation. It's going to be sweet, first, and then a little bittersweet, so be ready. Kouji Tajima, a conceptual designer who has done work for shows and films such as the Total Recall remake, Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker, and Captain Harlock, today shared a poster for the upcoming film release of the live-action version of Attack on Titan, also known in Japan as Shingeki no Kyojin. Here's the poster, which I personally think is just gorgeous:
Now, here are a few things that you're not going to want to hear. This isn't an official poster (I'm just repeating it, though you probably gathered that from the title). Additionally, the film release date which is shown on this poster is completely made up. So, there's no actual official announced date for the film yet. Just putting that info out there.
Tajima has admitted that his poster was inspired by the layout for a poster for the anime adaptation. Check out that version of the poster below, and tell us which one you prefer!

Former Oakland TE Christensen dead at 57By PAUL FOY
The Associated Press | November 14,2013AP FILE PHOTO
This Nov. 16, 1986 photo provided by the NFL shows Los Angeles Raiders tight end Todd Christensen (46) being congratulated by Marcus Allen (32) after scoring on a 3-yard touchdown reception during the Raiders 27-14 victory over the Cleveland Browns in Los Angeles.SALT LAKE CITY Former Raiders tight end and five-time Pro Bowl selection Todd Christensen died from complications during liver transplant surgery. He was 57.
Christensens son, Toby Christensen, said his father died Wednesday morning at Intermountain Medical Center near his home in Alpine, Utah.
Ive been receiving hundreds of texts, Facebook postings and emails from everybody with a story about my dad, Toby Christensen said.
After a stellar career at running back for BYU from 1974-77, Christensen was a second-round pick for the Dallas Cowboys in the 1978 NFL draft.
He was waived by the Cowboys after breaking his foot in training camp but landed the next year with the Raiders, where he played for 10 seasons at tight end and won Super Bowls in 1981 and 1984.
In 1983, he had 92 catches, setting the NFL record at the time for tight ends. He finished the season with 1,247 yards receiving and 12 touchdowns.
He broke his own record three seasons later with 95 catches. He finished his pro career with 467 catches for 5,872 yards and 41 touchdowns. He surpassed 1,000 yards receiving in three different seasons.
Christensen, at 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds, never fit the Raiders untamed mold. He was a thoughtful son of a professor, and even read his own poetry at a Super Bowl press conference. He later self-published three books of poetry.
Christensen played on four Western Conference Championship teams for BYU, catching 152 passes for 1,568 yards and 15 touchdowns. He was inducted into the schools Hall of Fame in 1992.
He had great skill, BYU football Hall of Fame coach LaVell Edwards told the Daily Herald of Provo, Utah. He ran the ball well and he caught the ball extremely well. He had excellent ability in all areas and those are the things that stand out.
Christensen was a color commentator for the NFL on NBC from 1990-94, and did color commentary for ESPN and the now-defunct MountainWest Sports Network before handling Navy games for CBS Sports Network in the 2012 season.
Christensen was a devout Mormon who didnt drink, and his family believes his liver problems started 25 years ago after a botched gall bladder operation, his son told The Associated Press.
A native of Pennsylvania, Christensens family moved to Eugene, Ore., when he was a child and he became a standout at Sheldon High School. He was later inducted into the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame.
Christensen is survived by his wife and four sons. The family was making plans for a funeral as early as Saturday at a local Mormon church ward house in Alpine.

Young entrepreneurs camp at UWI
THE Young Entrepreneurs Camp, conceptualised by The Business Lab, is part of the Centres of Excellence programme of the Mutual Building Societies Foundation (MBSF) along with partners Digicel Foundation.
This, the second year of the camp, was held on the Rex Nettleford Hall at the University of the West Indies, Mona campus, over five days.
Sponsors such as Camara Jamaica, and Reggae Jammin' Chicken provided the laptops and meals respectively and helped to make the camp one to remember.
The main purpose of this camp is to improve the performance of six rural high schools: McGrath, Mile Gully, Porus, Seaforth to Green Pond, and Godfrey Stewart high schools.
One the first day, the campers were registered, placed in teams, and assigned counsellors, who guided them through the schedules until the end of camp.
Each school was assigned to a team, Porus High was Team Creative, Green Pond High School was Team Innovative, Mile Gully High was Team Driven, Seaforth High School was Team Confident, McGrath High was Team Persistent, and Godfrey Stewart High was Team Passionate.
And for the entire weak at camp they had to work as a group and help each other out.
Activities such as board games, market research, market activities, script writing and the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) application were placed on the schedule as most important to the campers.
With the competitive, mind-building tasks such as Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat (SWOT) analysis, Lego activities, accounting, television commercials, business plan preparations, and team building, the campers had a lot on their plate.
Students, who attended the camp last year and already had their business plans were separated, for some periods during the camp. This was so they could fine-tune them for presentations, which was different from the first-year campers.
Campers were even given a tour of the UWI campus on day three by Dr K'adamawe K'nIfe, a lecturer in the Faculty of Social Sciences. The aim of the tour was to enhance the students' knowledge about entrepreneurship and the history of the university.
Guest speaker Rosmond Brown, spoke on the topic public speaking, and also shared some of the secrets in running a successful business.
On the day for presenting their business plans, first year and second year campers also presented their ICT application for smartphones. Each team was asked to create an application which could help with problems dealing with their community and school. Roland Boothe, Lawrence Rowe and Dr Linda were the judges to see which team came with the best smartphone application.
Team Persistent's app was called the Agra app, Team Creative app was called S1, Team Innovative's app was Crimespot, Team Driven presented their app Pairecom, and Team Passionate with their app TEEN EDGE.
The students had less than 24 hours to put their ideas together and come up with an application. The applications that were formulated by the students were outstanding, even with the little time they had to put their applications together.
Team Creative from Porus High presented their business plan called the Porus Guidelines Stationery and more. Team Passionate's business was called Lockers Unlimited followed by Team Innovative business called Solid Goods. Team Confidence from Seaforth High demonstrated the Snakarama and you could see that the students went all out and did their research.
Prize-giving the final event everyone was looking forward to was soon to come. GC's Documents Centre by Chevaneese Jackson and Jevaughny Gray of the Green Pond High School won a cash prize for their business idea. Other schools such as Mile Gully, with their company AJ's Green Grocery, Seafood Deluxe by Trevoy Cole and Demarco Brown Robinson were also rewarded.
Members of Team Driven was awarded most outstanding entrepreneurs.
Amayor Anderson and Kemani Davis collected their prize. Green Pond High was awarded for the best knowledge of product, Best Ad by Mile Gully, Best ICT application was a tie by Seaforth High and Porus High, and the overall best business plan went to McGrath High.
At the end the campers all they celebrated with a camp party. The students were encouraged to learn, grow, have fun, approach each activity with focus and passion.
MBSF is formed by the Victoria Mutual Building Society and the Jamaica National Building Society.

I've been chatting with Will Coley lately about nonprofits who violate Facebook's TOS (sometimes knowingly) by using a Profile to market their cause, rather than a Page.
Using a Facebook Profile to market your nonprofit on Facebook is not smart, for at least three reasons:
1. You Have No Way Of Knowing What They Want
Facebook gives marketers a powerful tool called Insights that allows you to see – on a post level – how your fans engage with your content. Profiles don't have this tool, only Pages do.
Facebook users don't analyze how their friends react to their status updates. But marketers care very much about this – and so should you.
2. They Don't Want To Be Your Friend
A friend request is very different from asking someone to like your Page.
If you're sending friend requests as a Profile, your asking the user to see their photos, their friend list, their address, their phone number, and perhaps their relationship status.
Facebook users don't want to share this info with your organization. Asking a user to like your Page, on the other hand, doesn't cross any personal boundary.
3. Facebook Could Delete Your Profile
Using a Facebook profile to market your organization is a violation of the TOS.
What this means is that after spending a lot of resources of building up a large amount of friends – say 5,000 – Facebook can simply delete the profile.
A Visual Map Of Facebook Pages, Profiles, Places And Groups – All In One Slide
The difference between a Profile and a Page is a topic covered in the Facebook Foundations webinar I conduct with Charityhowto. Below is a map of all properties available on Facebook (PDF can be downloaded here):

Crystal clear golden hue but foamy white head. Pretty bland nose.
Very kolsch like. Light by consistent and smooth creamy body. Toasted buttery malts, light underlying hop bitterness to balance. Drinks like water. Light but flavors are good all around, could easily suck a lot of these Down. Boring but pretty good.

A thank you to woodychandler for as he cantinues to provide me with canned beers. Poured from a 16 oz. can. Has a light golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of malt, wheat. Taste is crisp, wheat, some malts and lemon, refreshing. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is an easy drinking summertime beer.

A: A glass consuming pearl white head is a four fingers deep upon the pour, soapy, porous, with a good rate of retention. Soapy lashes adore the glass for lacing. Within a strong, and steady rise of carbonation. Lemon peel coloring.
S: Light aroma of musky hay, and dry grains.
T: Sweet oranges, sweetly toasted grains, lemonade and lime. There is some fruitiness, sweet canned pears and honey dew. There is a nice grain base, dry, hay, sweet like, with some wheat crackers and a bit of wet citrus and straw coming on the finish. Decent sharp flavor aspect.
M: Good vibrations of dancing carbonation on the tongue. Light bodied.
O: Overall easy drinking, summer treat, sweet and lemony gentle dry grain finish.

Got this one as part of a mystery locals box from leftmindedrighty. Poured from pint can to dimpled mug:
Pours a clear, pale yellow with an expanding white, loose head. Pretty good lacing.
The nose is soft and sweet - subtle raspberry, corn, sweet malts, very light.
Kind of reminds me of a thickened up American macro - I definitely do get a pleasant raspberry flavor though. I'm not sure where this is coming from but it's nice.
Super easy drinking. This would be a great go-to session on a hot day.

A- Looks like a pretty golden yellow pale ale
S- smells like Budweiser
T- just like Budweiser
M- medium
Overall - When i had this beer i was hopping it was going to be a beer with some lemon flavoring and some crisp taste .Instead i got Budweiser. If you feel you absolutely most buy this beer do yourself a favor and pick up some Budweiser at least your wallet will thank you .

I had a mis-start with The CANQuest (TM) as I wanted to jump back into it in earnest and then mid-marking period grades came due and I had to figure out who was going on the Potential Senior Failure List, which trumped all, sadly.
It is a long weekend, I have no plans and I am emptying the CAN backlog, so if such news is of interest to you, please stand by.
From the CAN: "We strive to honor personal craftsmanship. Our handcrafted beer is made in small batches to ensure quality and peak freshness. Brewed and [CAN]ned by old Forge Brewing Company, Danville, PA."; "Endless Summer Ale is a light-bodied, low-hopped, pale golden ale, with some wheat and lightly toasted malts to round out the flavor."; "Forging better beer".
The Crack & Glug came off without any setbacks, but the fizzy finger of bone-white head showed no interest in hanging around and disappeared like the dodo. Color was a VERY pale yellow with NE-quality clarity. I CAN understand the comparisons to Bud when a beer is this pale. Nose was interesting with a lemony tartness backed up by bite that wheat CAN impart. Mouthfeel was very soft, almost like it was from a cask and the taste was nothing like Budweiser. Sorry. Instead, it had a light-lemon citrusiness along with a wheat tang. This is going to be phenomenal over the course of the upcoming summer. Finish was slightly dry and very satisfying. Another win for the home (state) team!

I'm glad I came here to see what all the fuss was about…I'm not if I would choose to come back if I'm completey honest.
The wine by the glass came in what looked like a small beaker and wasn't very cold…The food was honestly just a little over average. I say little over because I really liked the breadsticks!
We got looked after very well but I think the same would not apply if I came again with different company.
The atmosphere was good – nice and busy…informal but still quite classy if that makes sense!
There are nicer Italians out there!

Inhaled Black Metal Vocals, who uses them?
Hey everyone, this is my first post here.
I'm in a band and we're playing melodic black metal.. with some folk influences *without synths* which has moments comparable to Windir and Dissection. I have a decent clean singing voice and plan on using it every now and then.
Black metal vocals, I never really was able to get down too well... I would always end up in some kind of throat pain. I really don't want to mess up my voice in the process.
I've found that I can hit some high shrieking Black Metal Vocals while doing inhaled vocals... it doesn't really hurt me either.
One of the question I have is, is this a normal method of doing black metal vocals *especially high pitched ones*. I cant hit these kind of notes exhaling.
If I were to want to do these kind of vocals regularly (exhaling) id need to use effects.... and thats lame...but I'm not sure how often inhaled screams are used in BM... I know they are sometimes but I don't know of vocalists that specifically use JUST inhaled screams.
Well can you possibly get a recording up?
Well I tried to put together a little sample...it sucks
Please make note: This is with programmed drums and guitars as we havnt actually recorded the instruments yet so it leads to a weird sound. My mic is going directly into my soundcard and im doing all vocal effects with the software cool edit pro.
This one is of a verse in a song all in inhaled vocals...I have some reverb added to the vocals so it doesnt sound too dry/croaky..but it still kind of is.
this one is of an inhaled scream.... yea I know I crap out in the middle and the timing is off but this is just for a sample of what im talking about.
I don't have all that much experience with vocals, how to hold mic, what effects to use, etc etc etc.
The question is, should I continue doing inhaled vocals, or does it really sound that weird that I should try to do exhaled black metal vocals **and screw up my voice**
I know this sucks but I'm a total noob at BM vocals and need as much useful input as possible in regards to how I should go about doing them, if im on the right track, or completely off.
that doesnt suck, i'd say that's pretty damn good
um that sounds just about right man. as long as you can do it without feeling lightheaded i would stick with it
hell yeah nice fucking vocals
Sounds like BM vocals to me. If you can get that inhaled scream down without crapping out it would sounds pretty damn good.
Not great, but definately worthy of any black metal band i can think of, if its totally efficient and easy and you can do it like that all the time pulling it off live for whole sets and everything, go for broke.
Thanks everyone, I still have a lot of work ahead of me and a lot of practice getting this technique down, from what it looks like they don't sound too far from what I'm trying to achieve...just unpolished at this point.
this guy uses them ha ha ha!!!
good vox im not a huge fan of bm but i do respect good bm bands, you are definitely on the right track, keep practicing! :beer:
Check this out, I redid it after practicing the technique a bit. Still needs some work, but its better than before
It especially works good for screams *at the end of this clip*
some of my friends have refered to this vocal style as similar to Ihsahn's of Emperor.
I think I'm just gonna go ahead and continue working on this technique, it seems to be working.
nice!!! very good id say
Have fun playing live doing that 100% of the time. You're going to run out of breath really quickly and start gasping into your second song.
It sounds pretty decent, but the lack of "s" sounds or "t" sounds, or "h" sounds, or any normal speech sounds for that matter, makes it sound weird and alien.
Inhaling screams have that annoying way of crapping out on you at bad moments. If you've listened to Cryptopsy's live version of Open Face Surgery you'll know what I mean. It's not very consistent and sounds ultra stupid if not performed properly.
I don't think it's that hard to learn how to sing black metal, and I think it'd be worth your time to learn that instead of sticking with the inhales all the time.
How can a person do this so called "inhaled" vocal style when he's OBVIOUSLY BREATHING OUT while doing the scream.
Am I the only one that thinks he sounds like Shagrath?
Nice fuckin vocals dude
Nice, scary vocals. I love em. Don't you run out of breath though? Sounds like a tiring way to do it.
That scream in the 2nd recording where the music intensifys sounds fucking awesome.
I actually really like your vocals. One word of advice: You need to exhale a couple times during longer segments, since I can hear that the scream is weakening gradually.
I'm a big fan of inhaled vocals and you should, by no means, stop doing them. I think it sets your voice apart from all those other vocalists. And you are blessed with a good throat for doing inhales.
There is a risk though, of being rejected, since not everybody likes it.
i can do inhaled vocals try pushing the scream higher if you practice you can get some amazing shrieks
I can't stand BM for the most part, every aspect of it, bu with vocals like that I'd probably listen to your music. The vocals were real evil sounding.

While many of you have been lamenting driving 45 or less through the ongoing construction work on U.S. 50 for I-69, those moments have often taken me back to the days of learning to drive.

I wanted a heartier boot than my last pair (Asolo's from 1998-2006). I also wanted the ability to step into crampons for winter trips. Boy did I get it. I almost baulked at the purchase and went with a "softer" boot for comfort. Don't be scared at the out of box "ski boot" feel. Given the love and attention of a good couple good Snow Seal Massages, continual wear, and stretching, these boots began to loosen after a week. Three weeks in and I'm confident to ascend. I'll retract as necessary if further tests prove contrary.
Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
A crazy-strong all-leather design for year-round backpacking. Though not insulated, the Arete is supportive enough for light mountaineering and easier ice climbs. This is a pretty fab choice when you need one boot to handle a variety of demands. Rough-out leather is heavily treated with silicone and backed up by a waterproof Gore-Tex? membrane. Vibram? Vertige outsole is a classic mountain unit that boasts an aggressive tread pattern to latch onto treacherous terrain. Toe and heel ridges accept step-in crampon bails. Outsole is stiff enough to keep from popping out of a crampon. Rocker shape permits a natural (non-Frankenstein) stride onto mixed terrain. The Arete is built on a men's last. The size/color dropdown box refers to men's sizes. To convert to women's, please refer to the size chart below.
