We test the Distributional Inclusion Hypothesis, which states that hypernyms tend to occur in a superset of contexts in which their hyponyms are found. We find that this hypothesis only holds when it is applied to relevant dimensions. We propose a robust supervised approach that achieves accuracies of .84 and .85 on two existing datasets and that can be interpreted as selecting the dimensions that are relevant for distributional inclusion.
We represent natural language semantics by combining logical and distributional information in probabilistic logic. We use Markov Logic Networks (MLN) for the RTE task, and Probabilistic Soft Logic (PSL) for the STS task. The system is evaluated on the SICK dataset. Our best system achieves 73% accuracy on the RTE task, and a Pearson's correlation of 0.71 on the STS task.
Recent investigations into grounded models of language have shown that holistic views of language and perception can provide higher performance than independent views. In this work, we improve a two-dimensional multimodal version of Latent Dirichlet Allocation (Andrews et al., 2009) in various ways. (1) We outperform text-only models in two different evaluations, and demonstrate that low-level visual features are directly compatible with the existing model. (2) We present a novel way to integrate visual features into the LDA model using unsupervised clusters of images. The clusters are directly interpretable and improve on our evaluation tasks. (3) We provide two novel ways to extend the bimodal models to support three or more modalities. We find that the three-, four-, and five-dimensional models significantly outperform models using only one or two modalities, and that nontextual modalities each provide separate, disjoint knowledge that cannot be forced into a shared, latent structure.
We address the problem of identifying multiword expressions in a language, focusing on English phrasal verbs. Our polyglot ranking approach integrates frequency statistics from translated corpora in 50 different languages. Our experimental evaluation demonstrates that combining statistical evidence from many parallel corpora using a novel ranking-oriented boosting algorithm produces a comprehensive set of English phrasal verbs, achieving performance comparable to a human-curated set.
Context-dependent word similarity can be measured over multiple cross-cutting dimensions. For example, lung and breath are similar thematically, while authoritative and superficial occur in similar syntactic contexts, but share little semantic similarity. Both of these notions of similarity play a role in determining word meaning, and hence lexical semantic models must take them both into account. Towards this end, we develop a novel model, Multi-View Mixture (MVM), that represents words as multiple overlapping clusterings. MVM finds multiple data partitions based on different subsets of features, subject to the marginal constraint that feature subsets are distributed according to Latent Dirichlet Allocation. Intuitively, this constraint favors feature partitions that have coherent topical semantics. Furthermore, MVM uses soft feature assignment, hence the contribution of each data point to each clustering view is variable, isolating the impact of data only to views where they assign the most features. Through a series of experiments, we demonstrate the utility of MVM as an inductive bias for capturing relations between words that are intuitive to humans, outperforming related models such as Latent Dirichlet Allocation.
We introduce tiered clustering, a mixture model capable of accounting for varying degrees of shared (context-independent) feature structure, and demonstrate its applicability to inferring distributed representations of word meaning. Common tasks in lexical semantics such as word relatedness or selectional preference can benefit from modeling such structure: Polysemous word usage is often governed by some common background metaphoric usage (e.g. the senses of line or run), and likewise modeling the selectional preference of verbs relies on identifying commonalities shared by their typical arguments. Tiered clustering can also be viewed as a form of soft feature selection, where features that do not contribute meaningfully to the clustering can be excluded. We demonstrate the applicability of tiered clustering, highlighting particular cases where modeling shared structure is beneficial and where it can be detrimental.
In order to respond to increasing demand for natural language interfaces—and provide meaningful insight into user query intent—fast, scalable lexical semantic models with flexible representations are needed. Human concept organization is a rich epiphenomenon that has yet to be accounted for by a single coherent psychological framework: Concept generalization is captured by a mixture of prototype and exemplar models, and local taxonomic information is available through multiple overlapping organizational systems. Previous work in computational linguistics on extracting lexical semantic information from the Web does not provide adequate representational flexibility and hence fails to capture the full extent of human conceptual knowledge. In this proposal I will outline a family of probabilistic models capable of accounting for the rich organizational structure found in human language that can predict contextual variation, selectional preference and feature-saliency norms to a much higher degree of accuracy than previous approaches. These models account for cross-cutting structure of concept organization—i.e. the notion that humans make use of different categorization systems for different kinds of generalization tasks—and can be applied to Web-scale corpora. Using these models, natural language systems will be able to infer a more comprehensive semantic relations, in turn improving question answering, text classification, machine translation, and information retrieval.
Current vector-space models of lexical semantics create a single "prototype" vector to represent the meaning of a word. However, due to lexical ambiguity, encoding word meaning with a single vector is problematic. This paper presents a method that uses clustering to produce multiple "sense-specific&rdquo vectors for each word. This approach provides a context-dependent vector representation of word meaning that naturally accommodates homonymy and polysemy. Experimental comparisons to human judgements of semantic similarity for both isolated words as well as words in sentential contexts demonstrate the superiority of this approach over both prototype and exemplar based vector-space models.
This paper focuses on a system, Wolfie (WOrd Learning From Interpreted Examples), that acquires a semantic lexicon from a corpus of sentences paired with semantic representations. The lexicon learned consists of phrases paired with meaning representations. Wolfie is part of an integrated system that learns to parse representations such as logical database queries.
Experimental results are presented demonstrating Wolfie's ability to learn useful lexicons for a database interface in four different natural languages. The usefulness of the lexicons learned by Wolfie are compared to those acquired by a similar system developed by Siskind (1996), with results favorable to Wolfie. A second set of experiments demonstrates Wolfie's ability to scale to larger and more difficult, albeit artificially generated, corpora.
In natural language acquisition, it is difficult to gather the annotated data needed for supervised learning; however, unannotated data is fairly plentiful. Active learning methods (Cohn, Atlas, & Ladner, 1994) attempt to select for annotation and training only the most informative examples, and therefore are potentially very useful in natural language applications. However, most results to date for active learning have only considered standard classification tasks. To reduce annotation effort while maintaining accuracy, we apply active learning to semantic lexicons. We show that active learning can significantly reduce the number of annotated examples required to achieve a given level of performance.
This paper describes a system, Wolfie (WOrd Learning From Interpreted Examples), that acquires a semantic lexicon from a corpus of sentences paired with semantic representations. The lexicon learned consists of words paired with meaning representations. Wolfie is part of an integrated system that learns to parse novel sentences into semantic representations, such as logical database queries. Experimental results are presented demonstrating Wolfie's ability to learn useful lexicons for a database interface in four different natural languages. The lexicons learned by Wolfie are compared to those acquired by a competing system developed by Siskind.
A long-standing goal for the field of artificial intelligence is to enable computer understanding of human languages. A core requirement in reaching this goal is the ability to transform individual sentences into a form better suited for computer manipulation. This ability, called semantic parsing, requires several knowledge sources, such as a grammar, lexicon, and parsing mechanism.
Building natural language parsing systems by hand is a tedious, error-prone undertaking. We build on previous research in automating the construction of such systems using machine learning techniques. The result is a combined system that learns semantic lexicons and semantic parsers from one common set of training examples. The input required is a corpus of sentence/representation pairs, where the representations are in the output format desired. A new system, Wolfie, learns semantic lexicons to be used as background knowledge by a previously developed parser acquisition system, Chill. The combined system is tested on a real world domain of answering database queries. We also compare this combination to a combination of Chill with a previously developed lexicon learner, demonstrating superior performance with our system. In addition, we show the ability of the system to learn to process natural languages other than English. Finally, we test the system on an alternate sentence representation, and on a set of large, artificial corpora with varying levels of ambiguity and synonymy.
One difficulty in using machine learning methods for building natural language interfaces is building the required annotated corpus. Therefore, we also address this issue by using active learning to reduce the number of training examples required by both Wolfie and Chill. Experimental results show that the number of examples needed to reach a given level of performance can be significantly reduced with this method.

This paper describes an experimental comparison of seven different learning algorithms on the problem of learning to disambiguate the meaning of a word from context. The algorithms tested include statistical, neural-network, decision-tree, rule-based, and case-based classification techniques. The specific problem tested involves disambiguating six senses of the word ``line'' using the words in the current and proceeding sentence as context. The statistical and neural-network methods perform the best on this particular problem and we discuss a potential reason for this observed difference. We also discuss the role of bias in machine learning and its importance in explaining performance differences observed on specific problems.
Building accurate and efficient natural language processing (NLP) systems is an important and difficult problem. There has been increasing interest in automating this process. The lexicon, or the mapping from words to meanings, is one component that is typically difficult to update and that changes from one domain to the next. Therefore, automating the acquisition of the lexicon is an important task in automating the acquisition of NLP systems. This proposal describes a system, WOLFIE (WOrd Learning From Interpreted Examples), that learns a lexicon from input consisting of sentences paired with representations of their meanings. Preliminary experimental results show that this system can learn correct and useful mappings. The correctness is evaluated by comparing a known lexicon to one learned from the training input. The usefulness is evaluated by examining the effect of using the lexicon learned by WOLFIE to assist a parser acquisition system, where previously this lexicon had to be hand-built. Future work in the form of extensions to the algorithm, further evaluation, and possible applications is discussed.
This paper defines a new machine learning problem to which standard machine learning algorithms cannot easily be applied. The problem occurs in the domain of lexical acquisition. The ambiguous and synonymous nature of words causes the difficulty of using standard induction techniques to learn a lexicon. Additionally, negative examples are typically unavailable or difficult to construct in this domain. One approach to solve the lexical acquisition problem is presented, along with preliminary experimental results on an artificial corpus. Future work includes extending the algorithm and performing tests on a more realistic corpus.
A system, WOLFIE, that acquires a mapping of words to their semantic representation is presented and a preliminary evaluation is performed. Tree least general generalizations (TLGGs) of the representations of input sentences are performed to assist in determining the representations of individual words in the sentences. The best guess for a meaning of a word is the TLGG which overlaps with the highest percentage of sentence representations in which that word appears. Some promising experimental results on a non-artificial data set are presented.
Models of learning word meanings have generally assumed prior knowledge of the concepts to which the words refer. However, novel natural language text or discourse often presents both unknown concepts and words which refer to these concepts. Also, developmental data suggests that the learning of words and their concepts frequently occurs concurrently instead of concept learning proceeding word learning. This paper presents an integrated computational model for acquiring both word meanings and their underlying concepts concurrently. This model is implemented as a word learning component added to the GENESIS explanation-based learning schema acquisition system for narrative understanding. A detailed example is described in which GENESIS learns provisional definitions for the words "kidnap", "kidnapper", and "ransom" as well as a kidnapping schema from a single narrative.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
OPEN your heart, WINNIPEG
Time to take down the barriers, Portage and Main
There is perhaps nothing harder about being a Winnipegger than giving directions to someone from out of town that involve crossing Portage and Main on foot.
It is hard in a practical sense: How does one give directions through the labyrinthian underground concourse? It is also hard because explaining it to someone not from here reveals how silly the barriers are: Yes, it's illegal to cross a downtown street because we worry you'll be cold, but mostly because we don't want you slowing up traffic.
This situation occurs with some frequency when I'm walking through the Exchange District. A group of guys will ask how to get to Earls on Main, or a well-dressed couple will bewilderingly wonder how to get back to the Fort Garry Hotel. In most cases, I tell people to take Fort Street before offering some sort of feeble benediction as they walk away.
How is it that a city that expends millions of dollars in schemes to bring people downtown could not allow them to cross a major intersection? The answer is found not only in Winnipeg's zealous efforts to accommodate automobile traffic, but in city hall's historically floozy relationship with big business. When the underground concourse was built, part of the agreement between the city and involved property owners was that street-level crossing be closed. That agreement does not expire until 2017.
And so Portage and Main, the historical, economic, and symbolic heart of the city, remains a windswept and forbidding place. All for the absurd belief that the concourse's thin ranks of convenience stores and flower shops (which are open only 40 hours a week) would suffer if the barriers were taken down.
Even as the number of cars travelling through Portage and Main increased exponentially in the first half of the twentieth century, motorists knew their place in the complex order of the street. The organized chaos of cars, streetcars, pedestrians, bicycles, and delivery carts slowed traffic enough that a pedestrian could feel comfortable standing in the middle of Portage and Main mere feet from moving traffic.
Efforts to move cars quickly and easily through downtown Winnipeg began in earnest after the Second World War. Roadways were widened, speed limits increased and on-street parking was restricted. Both of the city's daily newspapers embarked on public shaming campaigns against citizens who dared to jaywalk. In 1955, the last of the streetcar lines were discontinued.
Finally, in the late 1970s, Winnipeg erected permanent barriers at its most famous intersection, the final triumph of misanthropic post-war city planning. Not only had crossing Portage and Main become a degrading experience, it was now illegal.
Today, public sentiment toward opening Portage and Main to pedestrians is mixed. Opposition is mainly based on the notions that pedestrian demand does not warrant it, but also that it would cause traffic chaos. How these two contradictory points reconcile themselves and form a coherent argument remains to be seen, but any case, they are fears that many citizens cling to.
At the same time, the centrality and mythology of the intersection lives on in the city's subconscious. In 2011, when it was announced NHL hockey would return to the city, hundreds of Winnipeggers flocked there, even as police and public officials urged citizens urged people to celebrate at The Forks.
It may seem quixotic to want to see Portage and Main open, and downtown streets regain some of the humanity they enjoyed prior to the 1940s. But the principles of good urbanism are timeless, while many of Winnipeg's streets continue to function on outdated beliefs that gas would remain pennies a litre, that more roads solve traffic congestion, and that we'd all be living like The Jetsons by now. Defending the Portage and Main barriers in 2013 is like urging listeners of Bach to stop being old-fashioned and check out The Carpenters. One may be older, but the other is much more out of date.
Portage and Main is a windy intersection, and its built environment is not particularly inviting to pedestrians. But, as urban analyst William H. Whyte once noted, Winnipeggers are a hardy lot. More than that, we are individuals capable of making rational, grown-up decisions about how we get around on foot. The point is not that crossing Portage and Main might be unpleasant, but that pedestrians have the right to cross whatever intersections they choose to in an orderly fashion.
More than that, the intersection is Winnipeg's symbol and heart. With construction of a new Westin hotel next door to the TD Centre slated to begin, now is the time to think about what Portage and Main says about us as a city.

If you're a Washington Wizards fan and you frequently check your Twitter account, your timeline is more than likely filled with #KDtoDC or #KD2DC hashtags and tweets. Well, what does that all mean? It's pretty self explanatory. Kevin Durant will become a free agent in 2016 and Wizards fans have already started to campaign for his return home to the nation's capital.
It's no secret that Kevin Durant loves Washington D.C., but he also loves Oklahoma City. With that said, there are only a handful of players that I could think of that finished their careers where they started (Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, Dwyane Wade, Tim Duncan…am I missing anyone?), so it's not completely insane to think Kevin Durant will eventually leave Oklahoma City.
Team USA began their training camp on Monday and Kevin Durant has already begun answering free-agency questions, despite being two years away from the actual process. Kevin Durant, the reigning NBA MVP, being linked to LeBron James' decision to return home only means that Kevin Durant will continue to get bombarded with free-agency questions until 2016. For Wizards fans, that means he'll continue to get asked about the possibility of him returning home to Washington.
Here were a few of his responses to some of those questions.
Everybody is asking me about it every time I go on Instagram or Twitter. All my friends ask me about it. I'm not going to sit here and act like I'm naïve to the fact that people think about that stuff–via Yahoo! Sports
Look, I'm here in Oklahoma City. I love it here.' Who knows what'll happen? You never can close a door on anything, but I like where I'm at right now. I can't answer those questions.–via the Washington Post
Oh, and John Wall doesn't seem to mind a potential "Big 3″ with Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal.
You try to set yourself up for those situations, to have an opportunity to see him come back home and have us a big three, with me, Brad and him. We know it'd be great to have him. We know he's got to focus on his season and what they're doing. Hopefully around that time, we'll do what we're supposed to do. — via the Washington Post
So, yeah, there are a lot of people talking about Kevin Durant returning home to Washington in 2016. In case you haven't noticed, the Washington Wizards hired one of Kevin Durant's former coaches, let Trevor Ariza walk, and have a bunch of players that will come off the books in 2016.
I realize that it's really fun to speculate, especially if you're a Wizards fan who hasn't seen an MVP caliber player suit up for your team in quite some time, but it's also important to focus on the current roster. Really, it's way too early to begin fantasizing about Kevin Durant joining the Washington Wizards. Of course, watching John Wall, Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant on the same team would be great, but as of right now, it's all speculation.
Kevin Durant will inevitably continue answering questions about returning home to Washington D.C. until he's a free agent in 2016, and I'm not sure that's even a positive thing. A lot can change from now until 2016, especially since Kevin Durant plays with one of the best players in the NBA (Russell Westbrook) and they've been championship contenders for quite some time.
I'm a big supporter of the #KD2DC campaign, as all Wizards fans should be, but it's also important to know when to take a step back.

Ok, so one build version stops messages from posting if they contain apostrophes and the latest misses out the first letter of usernames if you use the dreaded combo of Win 7 and IE8 - it doesn't actually matter because this mod is so sweet.
It runs like a dream and the config options in the back end on the latest version are neither too many nor too few but just right. It installs really simply and easily also.
Support via the forums is fairly good and certainly prompt, the author clearly knows his stuff and cares deeply about what he does.
Frankly, I'm surprised this mod is non-commercial.

I'm at the point of saying that if they can't finally implement a system like this, then they need to nerf the Foundry. They can give drops on the vetted spotlights. Otherwise, the only thing clogging up the top-rated will be the top-rated stories, played by players who just wanted a good story for story's sake.
I was pushing for Foundry rewards. But, if this is what it looks like, no thank you.
I don't see removing Timid Creature as the best solution. But it's an easy one. A better one would be making timid Creatures not pay out loot and Xp.

As I was driving truck the driver side sun visor fell off and hit me in forehead and lap. I did mention this to representative when I returned.
Let customers knoe there will be an extra charhe for using thier card, and that round trip may be less then one way.
My experience was good at this U-Haul location. The young man who waited on me was very helpful.
I am angry at the point that I had to drive 5 miles out of my way to pick up the auto transport when then Bedford location had one that was able to be used and it didn't have a reservation on it
Nice staff. Not the best of neighborhoods but great selection of equipment and supplies.
Have more workers to assist with checking in and out the u haul. Have 2 people checking in for there reservation and have 2 people checking in the uhaul once the person bring it back.
We were charged incorrectly, instead of the manager simply reversing the transaction, we were charged 2 additional times resulting in overdraft fees. I have left messages for the general manager and to date still have not been respected enough to get a call back.
need new tires on 6x12 trailers
The staff was very professional...The young man who helped us was very knowledgeable about procedures and costs. People tend to say bad things about inner city operated businesses/companies, but they were very competent!
air condition at Uhaul location hot inside while waiting
This location was very good. Original pickup location at 14250 Broadway in Garfield Heights was a train wreck. Computers down, muttering attendant who could not fill out a paper rental application. Sent us to another loacation, (Rockside and Broadway) This location had no trucks but were very sympathetic and helpful. They got us through to TRAFFIC who fixed our problem. Lost 1.5 hours in trying to rent a truck to move worried/elderly parents to an assisted living and we had a confirmed reservation. Second debacle I've had with your reservation system in less than two months. There has got to be a better reservation system to be developed.. Having a "confirmed reservation" with UHaul is meaningless.
Hire more help! The team could use another person.
The U-Haul representative that checked us out was personable, professional and efficient. Both my husband and I thought he did an excellent job, very early in the morning!...and would recommend this location very highly based on our positive interaction with him! Wish I knew his name, but hoping you will be able to determine who it was. He worked early shift on Saturday, 8/23. Thank you.

Busy times!It's been a busy week in school. The proposal to convert the school to an age 4-11 primary school has featured highly on my agenda, with so many issues to be ironed out. The proposal has yet to go to a formal consultation, but it is crucial that the school secures the best possible outcomes as we look to the future. Children who are currently at the school, or due to transfer in 2015, will be unaffected by any potential changes. No decision will be made until February 2015, following a full consultation, and I will keep you updated with any… Read More »

A beautifully shot, moving drama from Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan, who also made the highly regarded Three Monkeys (2009) and Once Upon a Time in Anatolia (2011).
Mahmut (Muzaffer Ozdemir) is a successful photographer living alone in his tidy Istanbul flat. He's engaged in a half-hearted affair with a married woman, while his former wife is about to leave the country for a new life in Canada. His job bores him and he has the energy to do little more than watch television in his spare time.
But Mahmut's routines are about to be shaken when a cousin, Yusuf (Mehmet Emin Toprak), arrives from the countryside in search of work, having just lost the mundane factory job that he had enjoyed.
It's meant to be a short stay in the capital, but, as Yusuf's lack of success extends the visit, the chalk-and-cheese pair are forced to confront their attitudes to each other, as well as the emptinesses in their lives.
Adding further poignancy is the fact that Emin Toprak died in a car crash, aged 28, shortly after shooting the film.
The film won many prizes at festivals around the world, and three at Cannes, including Grand Prize of the Jury and Best Actor (the latter shared by Muzaffer Ozdemir and Mehmet Emin Toprak).
In Turkish with English subtitles.

I have been in England for the past week. It was a week of mixed emotions. I traveled with my older brother to visit our sister who is very ill with cancer. While there we also visited Oxford and I was able to share with my brother some of my favorite nooks and crannies of that beautiful city.
We drank beer at C.S.Lewis' pub and walked out to St Margaret's church in Binsey to see the healing well. We did a little Newman tour of the city too–visiting Oriel College where he was a fellow and touring St Mary's–the university church where he was vicar. Oxford is one of the most glorious cities in Europe. With the fine old medieval colleges built from the golden limestone, the spires soaring and the quads peaceful and ancient. The city also reeks of privilege, wealth and the power of the establishment. This is the university from which Prime Ministers are graduated. It is the place of princes and presidents and the school of not only the intellectually gifted, but the sons and daughters of the aristocracy.
It is difficult to visit Oxford and not be enchanted by the history, the mystery, the magic and romance of the place. However, the greatest gift in my visit was to finally, at the end of the day travel with my brother out to the College at Littlemore. Littlemore is the village to which John Henry Newman retired. He resigned his fellowship at Oriel, resigned from being vicar of the university church and went with a few friends to live in a converted stable block in a humble village outside Oxford. There he was eventually received into the Catholic Church by the humble missionary priest Bl.Dominic Barberi.
You can stand in the place where Newman fell to his knees to ask Barberi to receive him into the church. You can visit Newman's very simple and bare cell and the simple chapel where he was received into full communion with the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
No Catholic should visit Oxford without finally going to Littlemore. At Littlemore we see, in John Henry Newman's decision, the response every Catholic should have to all the great glories of the world. Newman had it all. He was famous. He had earned the rewards of his hard work. He had the greatest accolades the world had to offer, and had he stayed in the Anglican Church he would no doubt, have added more to them. The Anglican Church is interwoven with the establishment of England in an inextricable way. It is what it says it is: the Church OF England–with the emphasis on "England" not on "the Church".
For all its glories and greatness, for all its undoubted goodness, spirituality and Christian witness, the Church of England is at the end of the day a national church. Newman realized this and set out for something which was at once simpler and greater. He gave it all up and went to Littlemore.
What interests me is that Nemwan left it all and in the midst of the darkness he did not know what would come of his decision. Indeed, in worldly terms not much came of it. In the Catholic Church he met with failure, suspicion, isolation and seeming indifference. He labored away at his scholarship and all his plans and ambitions seemed to come to sand. But look what his great obedience has produced! A great harvest which continues to grow and prosper in the world. Had he remained an Anglican what would be the accomplishment now? I suspect not so much.
In my experience every convert to the Catholic faith goes to Littlemore. They go through a negation. They give up everything. They step out in faith and live according to the designs of Providence. To a greater or lesser extent they go through a time of conversion not only from one church to another, but a time of complete conversion "costing not less than everything." A visit to Oxford and Littlemore becomes a micro-symbol of the whole process of conversion. Layer upon layer of meaning is piled up in the life of this saint, for Newman became a New Man as he went to Littlemore. There he discovered the great truth that Little is More.
This is the essence of conversion and my own visit to Oxford this week was therefore a profound and moving harvest of much that has been and much that will be. It was a bittersweet experience which took me into deeper levels of grace than I can here express: an experience of nostalgia for the past and anticipation for the future.
So today my prayer is:
For all that has been: "Thanks".
For all that shall be: "Yes".

Single Mothers- Negative Qualities
Oct 19, 2014
subscribe to the RSS feed file
Suggested Tracks: "Don't", "Crown Of Fire", "Jesse"
Larkin Poe is a very unique band and this makes them very hard to be placed in a genre. I would call them Indie Country. Larkin Poe consists of two sisters, Megan and Rebecca Lovell and Kin (get it, because they are sisters) is their debut full length album. The album is very soft sounding in the most part with a few upbeat songs mixed in. The combination of the lead vocals from Rebecca and the harmony from Megan give the songs a very pleasant, attractive sound.
"Don't" is the most upbeat song on the album musically. Vocally it shows they can be a little harsher while still sounding catchy and nice. Lyrically this song is about how she can do her own thing and nobody can tell her otherwise. "Don't try to lie/ Don't try to tell me/ Don't try to buy me/ Don't try to sell me" is one of the more effective choruses on the album.
"Crown of Fire" is lyrically about a tough relationship. She repeats how she doesn't want to lose who she is with but she mistreats this person for things that are her fault. Musically it goes right along with the lyrics, starting with the harsh sounding strumming of an acoustic guitar that builds to an actual melody in the chorus.
It would be wrong to not talk about my favorite song on the album, "Jesse". While listening to this album, this was the song that I kept going back to because I loved it so much. I'm not sure if it's the quiet beat that builds to the chorus or the powerful lyrics that I like so much. Whatever it is though, this song is great. "It's okay, Put the gun down/ It's alright, Put the bottle away" is probably favorite lyrics on the whole album. I couldn't just listen to this song only once.
RIYL: Kings of Leon, The Killers, Arctic Monkeys
Recommended Tracks: "My Mind", "In My Sleep", "Dead End Road"
The Dealers are a Floridian melodic garage rock band. My Mind is their second EP, and they sound fantastic on it. It is really nice to hear an up-and-coming band with this much energy. The crisp and clean vocals are what makes this album as great as it is.
"My Mind" is the title track and it delivers on all fronts. The vocals are low during the verses and through the bridge they build up before peaking at the chorus. The song sounds just like the vocals say, "I can't get you off my mind". The way he sings it makes you believe he really can't get this person off his mind and that is what makes this song a perfect album opener.
If you like faster and more shrill songs, "In My Sleep" has that covered. The song opens with a great guitar riff that is only used there and after each chorus. This song has more drums than guitar, and they sound so good you won't mind it. The vocals are at a lower tone through the whole song, but it fits because they don't overpower the drums which may be the best part of this song.
"Dead End Road" closes the album with a melodic, happy song. It sounds like a song that you would want to crank in the car with the windows down. The chorus will be stuck in your head after even one listen and you may find yourself singing along. Everything else about this song sounds slick from the vocals to the instrumentals.
RIYL: Dolly Parton, Little Big Town
Recommended tracks: Please Don't Leave Me Now, The Law, Where'd You Go My Love
The Memphis Dawls mix folk and country perfectly in their new album Rooted in the Bone. The album consists of eleven beautifully written and played songs focused on love and heartbreak. The Memphis Dawls' use of guitars, cellos, violas, accordions, and beautiful vocal harmonies will keep you listening.
"Please Don't Leave Me Now" is the perfect song to introduce the album. It is a preview for what you will experience: fun and catchy songs that you won't stop listening to. This song's beautiful lyrics and catchy tune will attract audiences of any age. It is not a very complex song, but the combination of the vocals and instruments create a memorable sound.
The band's harmony in "Where'd You Go My Love" can only be described as amazing. The blend of their voices creates an elegant sound that you won't be able to get out of your head. It is a short song, just under three minutes, but it is one that you will remember. The many different instruments the band plays in this song mix perfectly to create a catchy folk tune.
Although the band's three members all took different directions in hopes to make it in the music industry, they are together again and have created an awesome album that is worth listening to.

Tracks to listen to: "Overdose," "Feel Shame," "Money"
Single Mothers, hailing from London,Ontario, Canada is bringing back the essence of classic punk rock to music today, through their new album Negative Qualities.The story behind the band is pretty interesting. Andrew Thomson, the band's frontman actually quit the band in 2011 to mine for gold in Swastika, Ontario. He continued to record solo projects and mine for gold until 2013 when he came back together with the band to start working on Negative Qualities. Theband only recently locked in their lineup and started a North American tour.
For 26 minutes, Single Mothers puts us into a place of pure anarchy. All of the songs on the albums are driven by the lyrics in one way or another. Firing vocal shots at a laundry list of everything from religion, drugs, alcohol, and even pretentious fucks. Thomson puts himself in the center of the song and projects his own narrative through the songs.
He provides insight on his relationships through lines like "So either make a change or shut the fuck up about it already" and "If this is living the dream just kill me" The lyrics in general just present a "fuck you all" type of mentality, and the emotion put behind them generates the same feeling.
"Money" was one of my personal favorites off of the album. The guitar is less harsh than the other songs on the album, but it's still able to emulate that hard rock sound.Thomson still screams his soul out as the song goes on. Another song that I enjoyed off the album was "Feel Shame". The rugged vibe and lyrics really helped create a feeling of pure anger and hatred.
The album may not be the prettiest sound when it comes to being pleasant, but behind the cover, it has guts and a heart which is what makes a superb punk album and gives you a reason to give it a listen.

Recommended Tracks- "Ooo", "Rapt", "Indian Summer"
On September 9th, Karen O released her solo album Crush Songs. The album is a collection of home recordings Karen O had created back in 2006 and 2007, and she started to add onto them by 2010. Singing in the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Karen O established herself as a punk icon. In between Yeah Yeah Yeah's albums Karen O has worked on smaller projects that are very similar to her new album, such as her song Moon Song featured on the Her movie soundtrack.
The album starts off with the song "Ooo", a hushed melody accompanied by an acoustic guitar singing soft whispers of a crush she once had. The album sounds almost like it was meant to be a demo, or it skipped the final stages of development, but that was Karen O's intention. She wanted it to resemble a crush, a short moment that brings out strong emotion and usually does not become anything more than a crush.
"Rapt" is the albums anthem, the main idea behind the album. It is about "someone who became a habit that was hard to kick" according to Karen. It starts off much like a child's lullaby, but the lyrics describe how she is dealing with her break up with director and writer Spike Jonze. She describes, "Love is soft/ love's a fucking bitch." The song has the potential to be a kickass punk anthem, swearing off love and the newfound freedom of a breakup, but the instrumentals are holding the potential back.
The Doors cover, "Indian Summer", is a perfect fit for her album and the sound she is trying to convey through Crush Songs. Karen's version is much shorter than The Doors original version. Karen O explains that "When I was 27, I crushed a lot, I wasn't sure I'd ever fall in love again. These songs were written and recorded in private around this time. They are the soundtracks to whatever was an ever-continuing love crusade. I hope they keep you company on yours." Her album is overall a great foundation to her solo career, and she speaks to the middle school nerd in all of us with her crush anthems.

tracks to listen to: "The Cool Kids," "Growing Younger," "Tourists"
Coming out of Hamburg,Germany Wilhelm Tell Me brings a jubilant sound to the Indie Pop scene. The band has been slowly making their way up in the genre of Indie Pop through the successful marketing of single songs, instead of albums or EPs. A Short Story For The Road brings fun, exuberant music for the entirety of its 33 minutes.
The song "Growing Younger" is quite enthralling because it presents a whole array of sounds. The light whispering of Henning Sommer coupled with the mellow bass line creates a relaxing sound. The whistling in the backdrop of the song also adds to the soothing effect of the song.
"Tourists" is definitely another great song in a fairly strong setlist on this EP. The song has electronic influences due to the use of a synthesizer throughout the song. The same could be said for the song "Let Me Take You Away" which is also very synth-heavy. The vocals are very ghostly in the way that they echo, creating this very haunting effect, which is eerie, but really enjoyable.
The EP itself presents a whole arrangement of different sounds, but is very cohesive at the same time. A Short Story For The Road is an EP that you really have to consider giving a listen to just for the sheer fun that the EP presents.
RIYL : System of a Down, Linkin Park, Coheed and Cambria
Tracks to listen to: "Hangman", "Totality", "Pumapunku"
Lotus Effect creates an interesting creature out of their new album Totality. The album incorporates and combines different sounds from a whole range of music genres including metal, progressive rock and psychedelic rock. The band, coming from Houston, Texas is slowly moving up the charts of alternative rock with their style of progressive rock.
At 55 minutes, the album provides us as listeners with a substantial amount of content to sort through. The song "Totality" generates the most emotion in the album. The use of heavy guitar riffs paired with Dre Giles's booming voice creates a very traditional progressive rock sound. The emotion is driven behind the lyrics themselves. The way Giles provides emotion is through his sonorous tone which gives the lyrics life and makes you feel what he's singing about.
Another song that you don't want to miss on the album is "Pumapunku". The song goes in a different direction due to the fact that it is instrumental. The guitar seems to mesh with the guitar to provide a setting for the song. This untraditional approach comes from the band's roots as a jam style band.
Totality is an album that fits a specific taste. If you're into a hardcore style of music, you would definitely fall in love with this album. Even if you are not a fan of this style of music, its still worth just one listen because of the fascinating sound.
RIYL- Ellie Goulding
Suggested Tracks:
"Up We Go," "Speeding," "Slow Down," "How We Do It," "Don't Go Home Without Me"
Here's something you may not be used to seeing here, a big label release. This is the third album from Canadian singer-songwriter Lights titled Little Machines. Her music combines sophisticated lyrical prowess with the upbeat stylings of electro-pop. Her third album brings the electro-pop sounds from her previous albums to the forefront while retaining what she has been doing.
The lead single off the album, "Up We Go" uses her new electro-pop sound to get its catchy chorus and self-empowerment message across in one of the best ways possible. One thing noticeable on this song, almost immediately, is her vocals: They are very sharp and directly to the point, something noticeable through a lot of the album. I would almost compare her entire style to a less grandiose and more-to-the-point version of Ellie Goulding
"How We Do It" isn't written to be as catchy lyrically as "Up We Go" was but the powerful electro-pop beat will be something that brings you back to this song over and over again.
"Don't Go Home Without Me" is the album closer and it speaks of a powerful story of love with the first line hitting you seconds into the song "This is the song I will sing to you / When you're old and tired / I will sing it to remind you / That I'm old beside you." In this song both the electro-pop beat and her vocals start off very soft and build to a powerful ending you need to hear for yourself.
If you really like electro-pop but prefer the sophistication of indie pop to the generic "Party Party Party" mentality so prevalent in most electro-pop, Little Machines is an album you should really pick up and give a listen.

Tracks to listen to: "Out of the Blue", "They Would Know", "All My Loving"
The album Chasing Static gives a platform for Richie Pace to tell his story. It's about how he tried to pursue his musical dreams with a band who did not have the same intentions as him, telling the stories of the evils that occurred along the way on his journey with the band.
This 34 minute album goes in all directions through its course. The songs present a soft tone through the sound of Pace's voice and the sound of the guitar. Pace then changes to a heavier guitar with a stronger, piercing sound. This bizarre combination provides for an interesting sound that works in a strange way.
"Out of the Blue" is one of the more telling songs on the album. The song starts off very light with Pace's soft crooning and light guitar riffs. As the emotion changes, the croon turns into a cry, and the guitar gives off more of a bite as it runs through a solo. The song seems to change between these two sounds, jumping from calm to wild in a matter of seconds.
The cover to "All My Loving" provides a new twist to a timely classic from The Beatles. Pace uses more of an upbeat tone, both with his voice and his guitar. The use of other elements in the song that aren't used in other parts of the album like backing vocals and the incorporation of other instruments is a subtle change from the other soloist approach songs on the album.
Chasing Static gives off its own interesting sound that you definitely don't want to miss listening to. The emotion put behind the album is the real driving force and what makes you want to keep following the story through each song.

[TLR] Make his passive scale with his health, Lower the rank 3 cd on his ultimate.
I love Gangplank, but I feel like he is too weak, mostly because he does too little damage late game, and is too easily shut down and countered in lane. I have several ideas that, taken together, would make him OP, but considered piecemeal, might be good food for thought.
Passive I like the flavor of GP's passive, but I feel it is too weak, especially in terms of damage. I know that the slow on his passive is supposed to be its main point, but I don't think that that means its damage should be trivial. Darius' passive scales with his ad, stacks higher, and increases his movement speed, which is comparable to GP's slow. Draven's passive stacks indefinitely, if you can keep catchin axes. Twitch's deals true damage, and all three of them have good intereactions between their passives and other abilities.
Thus, I suggest making Gangplank's passive scale with his health, either total or bonus. Crit focused Gangplanks don't need much of a damage buff, and this won't make them too powerful. However, tank focused GP sufferes from terrible damage, and this would help to keep him relevant later into the game.
Parrley Parrley's in a pretty good place right now. It doesn't really need anything, but if I were to suggest something, it'd come from the fact that GP is often forced to farm away from his creep line, and has terrible wave clear. So I'd suggest giving Parrley the bladesurge treatment, and halve the cooldown when it lands a killing blow. This will allow GP to farm more consistently and safely.
Remove Scurvy Remove Scurvy is a cool ability, but its heal is so small in comparison to its cooldown, mana cost, and utility that it really provides a false choice. It tempts players into attempting to use it for sustain, when that is almost universally the wrong choice. In addition, for bruiser gangplanks especially, the heal becomes truly trivial as the game goes on. Thus smart players only ever put one rank in it, making for uninteresting lvling options.
Thus, I'd suggest making it heal for a percentage of GP's health. This would help to provide a meaningful choice between using it for sustain and saving it for cc removal. It would also help it to maintain relevance into the later game, for bruiser builds.
I'd also suggest adding a passive to it. My personal choice would be cooldown reduction, which would greatly aid GP in general. I've also considered crit chance, or damage reduction. The presence of a passive would help to encourage people to put points in the skill, making more varied leveling paths for GP.
Raise Morale Raise Morale is awesome. Except for one thing, which I think every GP player agrees on. GP should not have to stop to use the active. Especially at lower levels, it's nebulous whether the time lost casting the ability is made up for by the movement speed buff, and makes using it to chase or escape is risky. I'd suggest giving it the Blood Boil treatment, and allowing it to be cast while moving.
Cannon Barrage GP's ultimate is okay, especially during the laning phase, when it can be hugely helpful for assisting teammates during ganks, or protecting towers from across the map. However, at later levels, its damage becomes trivial, and it serves solely as a low power slow field.
I'd suggest lowering the cooldown on the 3rd rank of Cannon Barrage significantly. I was thinking to Final Spark levels, where it is up for every fight, and twice for extended engagements, allowing frequent use to make up for poor damage. This would allow it to stay a useful tool in the late stages of the game, for aid during team fights, and allowing for exciting snipe attempts. It would also open up remote split pushing options for Gangplank which would provide interesting strategic dynamics, changing the way seiges must be handled against a gangplank, who can push two lanes at once.

kavinh the third
don't fix what's not broken. it doesn't matter if the heal is low the fact that it's a cleanse is what people should be using it for the healing is just a noob trap to burn mana and cd. his ult is fine for what it does sure it's mediocore and doesn't scale unless ur doing a niche build like ap gp but it's global which more then makes up for it.
his passive was nerfed cause it was too strong why would they buff it up again the slow's the most noticible part of it anyways and darius's passive doesn't have that. not to mention gp has a point and click range spell that applies that which makes it easier to stack.
Gangplank suffers from the same curse than Ashe, Nasus, Anivia and such.
The huge amount of gap closers and escape mechanism introduced since around mid S2 made the slow on his passive completely worthless, since too many champs can outrun and escape GP easily even after applying.the passive.
Oz SammyD X
What I like, when last hitting a minion or champ with Q immediately resets the cooldown, so basically no cooldown when killing with the Q, being able to move while casting E is a great idea as well, lower cooldown on his ultimate is also nice, but really this is all he needs just these 3 changes, everything else is fine.
Leave his heal and passive alone, the heal has a cleanse as well which is why it doesn't heal you as much, though lower mana cost on it would be ok but that might be going to far with the buffs.
gp needs love.
bump up his attack speed IMO. he is an AD melee carry with **** for attack speed considering he has no dash ability like the other 90% of champions in this game.
and to top it off is one of the squishiest melee's
to top that off, by the time his passive slow is fully stacked the enemy either just laughed and killed gp or made it halfway across the map.
needs to be bumped up a single % imo and kept at 3 stacks.
brb having to physically walk to enemy,
brb by time I'm at the enemy I get popped.
most other bruiser champions do more damage then gangplank who is considered a melee carry. it's laughable. YES his parrley is a good damage spell with range. but his buff is a bit of a joke imo. especially with his poor base stats. considering most other champions like GP have 2 dmg spells instead of 1 and a buff.
Yeah, the power creep in league has hurt gangplank a lot. But I wasn't advocating buffing everything I said. These were meant to be potential solutions, if considered piecemeal.
bump. I wanna see what more people think of these ideas.
I Call ADC Bot
The only ability that needs to be tweaked is his raise morale. Its more than retarded that a speed boost ability makes you stop momentarily. Aside from that, I would really only tweak his base stats a bit.
Make Raise Morale and Scurvy able to be cast while moving for one. A potential idea that I've been kicking around would be to make it so using Parrrley on an opponent with stacks of grog would have different effects for the number of stacks. At one stack it would increase the slow, at two stacks, it could pop for more damage, and at three, it would set them on fire for a mini ignite and a half second of fear or something. It'd make his sole attack skill have some more oomph, and if you increase his armor/health then you could phase him out of straddling the line between a melee carry and a tanky DPS. Thoughts?
