Apr 21, 2013After a four year hiatus Fall Out Boy come out swinging. The record has a perfect blend of up beat tempos contrasted by slower melodies that pull at the heart strings. The record especially shines on tracks such as "Miss Missing You" and "Just One Yesterday." Save Rock and Roll is also void of filler, giving fans a satisfying CD after a lengthy absence. Long time fans shouldn't hesitate to invest their $12.99 on the bands latest effort, and I believe new comers will find a lot to like here as well. Save Rock and Roll is a fun album from top to bottom, enough said.… Expand
Apr 22, 2013I really wanted to like this album as I loved Fall Out Boy's past albums besides Infinity on High which was meh. There are a few problems I have with this record. The first problem I have is the sheer number of musical guests. To name a few Courtney Love, Elton John, and Big Sean. Each of these are on a separate track. With only 11 songs it feels more like a various artists record. Even though it clearly isn't. That's "Save Rock and Roll"s biggest problem: the musical guests often overshadow the performance by the actual band. That is absolutely unforgivable. When I buy a record by a band I expect to hear a lot of that band not Courtney Love saying "It's Courtney, Which, I might add is retarded and makes me hate her that much more. One thing I cannot argue is that this album continues to show bands diversity. There are some large hip-hop influences on this record and it definitely shows. I would like to take a second to recognize that it is possible to make hip-hop sound good, but it doesn't at all this time around. "The Mighty Fall" is a perfect example of this and as a result is one of worst tracks on the album. I admire that they are experimenting and they have come a long way from their pop-punk roots, but experimenting with sound doesn't have to be bad. It just is in this case. The lyrics are another weak point of the album. It feels like they weren't even written by Fall Out Boy. Their lyrics are usually clever and inspired. This isn't true here. Now there a few good songs off of the album, but the singles feel like they don't even belong here. The song "Young Volcanoes" is probably the strongest track and deals with the albums overarching theme:youth or clinging to youth even when barely any of it remains. There are 4 songs that I like. Just 4. Out of 11. The rest feel incredibly weak and I expected more to come from them. Hopefully, there next album will be better.… Expand
May 28, 2013Was never the biggest Fall out Boy fan before. I liked a good amount of their songs, but I didn't follow them closely enough to call myself a true fan. Never listened to entire albums as I found some of there songs tedious and pretentious (and I still do). But this song was a pleasant surprise for me as a mostly neutral fan of theirs. If you listen to it not expecting it to be a true blue rock album, and listen to it with an open mind toward all music styles you'll enjoy it. The only songs I don't really enjoy are Rat a Tat Tat and Save Rock and Roll. There's some real value in all the other ones. Albums you can listen to front to back are rare these days, and I consider My Songs up to Young Volcanoes to be some really good songs and a great summer listen.… Expand
May 6, 2013This isn't the old Fall Out Boy, but that doesn't mean I don't like it. Bands grow and evolve and this just shows that I still enjoy the music that they produce.
Apr 18, 2013I give this a 7 only because to me it just doesnt seem like a Fall Out Boy album. I guess im old school when it comes to FOB I love Take this to your grave and From Under the Cork Tree. They are a few song on this album that I do like alot but The whole album in general doesnt give me that full excitement.
Jun 4, 2013Their best album. Strong tracks ("The Phoenix", MSKWYDITD, "The Mighty Fall" and "Death Valley"), deep tracks ("Alone Together", "Just One Yesterday" and "Miss Missing You"), one strong AND deep track ("Save Rock and Roll") and some groovy tunes ("Where Did the Party Go" and "Young Volcanoes"). Oh! And of course: One little mess in the middle to ruing what would be something perfect: Rat a Tat. The collaborations are all great (except for Courtney Love) and Fall Out Boy should definitely keep walking these roads.… Expand
Apr 17, 2013Most people would never believe that this was fall out boy if they hear songs from this album, but the fact is this is in my opinion a much more improved fall out boy. they have taken all the things that they have learned from previous experiences and tightened them up. i believe this is the fall out boy fans will need, not want.
Jun 3, 2013As a big Fall Out Boy fan i can safely say that this is my favorite album as of yet, you can definitely notice the amount of dedication that went in to this album and it pays off!
Apr 21, 2013Full of solid arena rock tracks, Save Rock and Roll is far from a traditional rock album, and save rock it will not. But as an album of good individual tracks, it works.
Aug 13, 2013This has easily been one of the most controversial & polarizing of 2013's many comeback albums. For the record the only other FOB album I've heard in full so far is 2008's Folie a Deux, but that's quickly become one of my favorite albums of the last few years. The main controversy surrounding this album is basically that it's even more experimental & straying from the "emo" roots they established in the mid 00's. In other words, it's Folie a Deux, but to a much higher degree. But at the same time, what people complaining don't seem to be realizing is that it's very much a logical progression from what they've done before, especially if you take the various solo & side projects into account, which included pop/soul, electronic music & heavy metal This group of musicians clearly have very versatile creative minds, and to try to restrict them to one sound to satisfy your petty nostalgia is nothing short of insulting to the band.
The album itself, for the most part, is pretty impressive. They've said in interviews that they pushed themselves to just go crazy musically here, and it definitely shows. Across the album there's synth lines, huge multi-layered group vocals, and even a string section to open the album on the gloriously over-the-top 2nd single "The Phoenix". This mix of ambition & Fall Out Boy's general songwriting style almost creates a style all their own that's unique to this album. Another noticeable change is that Patrick now has a much more aggressive tone to his voice that can really compliment the songs at times by bringing an added sense of intensity, also notable in the 80's-like rock star wails in the infectious lead single "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)". To round up some other highlights, "Where Did the Party Go" is a very cleverly-written tale of faulty relationship dynamics that's so packed full of great symbolism & metaphors it took a few listens & even a trip to RapGenius's rock section to get it. Not saying beating around the bush is necessarily a positive trait but you have to admire how much thought was put into every word. It's got a great bassline too. And the most acoustically-based track "Young Volcanoes" is a very charming & fun ode to youth & the fun times in it that I could easily on the first listen picture being played around a campfire.
There's also a few guest musicians scattered throughout the album, and they work to very varying degrees. On the positive side of things there's the power ballad "Just One Yesterday" with up & coming singer-songwriter Foxes, who I'm not familiar with but might have to check out soon, since her great vocals add a lot to the track. Easily the biggest feature here is pop/rock music icon Elton John on piano & vocals on the epic closing title track. Things start to take a turn for the questionable though on "Rat A Tat" with the washed up mess we know from music tabloid headlines & many a Cobain conspiracy theory as Courtney Love. It's otherwise a really good track, a very driving rock song with some subtle social commentary in the chorus. Unfortunately it's thoroughly decreased in quality by Love, between the incoherent rantings before each verse & the cringeworthy "It's Courtney, in the intro. Still though her "contributions" are pretty easy to forgive compared to the force of pure hip hop mediocrity that is Big Sean on "The Mighty Fall", which is again an otherwise fantastic track with the best guitar riff on the album. Here he spews a bunch of random somewhat sex-related words in our faces that at no point even tries to have a flow.
And unfortunately the problems don't end with the outside artists, though the worst is certainly behind us. The main one is that a few songs are just empty lyrically & overproduced beyond what's necessary. The 2 tracks that come to mind are "Death Valley" & "Alone Together", which are good melodically but lyrically just generic party-pop songs. Am I saying that these are blatant sellouts? Absolutely not, at least considering the great instrumentation in "Death Valley", leaving "Alone Together" to be the only track on the album I dislike as a whole. Though it may not be entirely intentional, this is no different from some of the most forgettable club fluff on pop radio from the last few years. They can pull off good pure pop music here though, like on "Miss Missing You", which follows that style to a T but has enough personality to make it interesting. And overproduction seems to be sprinkled a tiny bit throughout multiple songs here, though I can't say exactly where & how, and the production in general has grown on me with each listen Overall, with Fall Out Boy's comeback album Save Rock and Roll, while I was slightly disappointed with a few decisions here & there, I can't say I wasn't impressed overall. It's a welcome return in spite of its flaws, and I hope this reunion isn't just a one-off thing. 72/100… Expand
Apr 25, 2013Being a major fan of classic Fall Out Boy, I was excited to hear they were off the hiatus to make more music. I had listened to Evening Out With Your Girlfriend, From Under The Cork Tree, Take This To Your Grave, and Infinity On High religiously during previous years. I was soon disappointed to find that this is not the Fall Out Boy that I grew up with. Most people are going to defend this album by saying it's them growing when, truthfully, it just feels like a Patrick Stump solo project. Most songs have tedious, annoying riffs that are in no way catchy. If you didn't really grow up with Fall Out Boy and tend to like the stylings of bands like fun., you will defend this album until your dying day. If you have experiences of blasting "Carpel Tunnel Of Love" after a break up or watching the "Sugar, We're Going Down" music video premiere on Fuse when it still played punk, take this album with a grain of salt. This isn't a terrible album, it's just not Fall Out Boy.… Expand
Apr 23, 2013I'd never paid much attention to Fall Out Boy, but when I heard their amazing new lead single, My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark, I thought they could really be on to making some magic And I was even more impressed at how well a rock track with screamo in it did in the UK charts. Wasn't as impressed with their next track, The Phoenix, though, but I told myself it was a minor blip. Unfortunately, there are a few misses on this album, like overly poppy Where Did The Party Go and Miss Missing You and the overly acoustic Young Volcanoes. But when the album works, it works. Aside from the amazing lead single, we get other gems like Just One Yesterday, The Mighty Fall, Death Valley, Rat a Tat and the amazing end, Save Rock And Roll: an emotional piece that will bring a tear to your eye and make you want to stand up for what you believe in. The album may not be perfect and it may not save rock and roll, but it's certainly a welcome relief from the avalanche of club bangers and dreary ballads recently.… Expand
Apr 23, 2013it is one of the most enjoyable albums i ever heard long time ago honestly i did not like their music befor but this album really is the best till now in 2013
Apr 17, 2013Very poppy, mediocre and really shows no new side of music.
It's a disappointing return for this group and shows that they are now back only for the money and not for the fans.
I would call this "We Just Killed Rock N Roll" if they want to call this RocK n Roll.
Apr 26, 2013This album is a little bit different than their other albums, but I still love it! The title of their album is quite funny too... Anyways, this album sounds wonderful, even if they changed up their style.
May 5, 2013Save Rock and Roll isn´t great listening track by track in a sequence as Folie. It's certainly a good album and a good job. It manages to not disapoint the fans who were waiting for years to a new FOB's effort. That said, the album has more weak points than Folie Deux, the major one is lacking coherence.
Jan 15, 2014First things first; this is NOT a ROCK album, its NOT a pop-punk album, and its certainly NOT an emo album. Save Rock & Roll is an experimental record that doesn't really fit into any genre, its got hip-hop influence (My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark and The Mighty Fall), dubstep (in Death Valley), Mumford & Sons folk (Young Volcanoes), 90s style punk (Rat a Tat) and Elton John. Despite the abundance of influences (none of which are really Rock and/or Roll) its still an enjoyable listen, one that will alienate the hardcore fans but in doing so gain more mainstream ones. Its a grower of an album, it works well but it takes a while to realise. Make up your own mind, I like the album and find it to be better than Infinity On High and just as good as Folie a Deux (which is arguably their best effort, even though the fans don't realise it).… Expand
Apr 16, 2013Great album there are very few problems with this album. People will argue that it doesn't sound Fall out boy enough. But after taking a break and watching what the band did while not doing fall out boy the direction they took with the comeback makes sense. Every track either captures what makes fall out boy great or shows growth of the band. All the guests are great the only down is Courtney Loves bits seem to be unnecessary for the song. The weakest song on the album is Miss Missing You the stronger tracks are Save rock and roll, where did the party go?, and The Phoenix… Expand
Apr 16, 2013Very good album. This album is a very good change of pace for fall out boy yet it still manages to please old fans. this album is a complete mixed bag featuring a rap melody from big Sean on "the mighty fall" an inspiring anthem with sir Elton John and his piano, an 80s hair metal inspired track my songs know what you did in the dark and an amazing opener The Phoenix reflecting FOB's changes since there hiatus with a sense of urgency not found on old FOB tracks and amazing guitar work. the guitar and bass work on tracks such as the phoenix and "the mighty fall" are great but seem lacking on tracks such as "miss missing you" and "where did the party go. The drum work on almost all the album seems to poppy and dose not reflect Andy's drumming skills. Pete's song writing skills shine on "young volcanoes" "save rock and roll" and "the phoenix" but seem relay corny or outright bland and badly written on tracks such as "where did the party go" and "Miss missing you" overall the album is great and my favorite fall out boy album since "under the cork tree", but at times the album falls flat. best tracks are "save rock n roll" "the phoenix" and "young volcanoes" worst are "where did the party go" and "miss missing you" 8.5/10… Expand
Apr 16, 2013They did a very honorable, risky thing and streamed their album days before the release date via soundcloud. I listened to it at least 10 times and am going to get the physical copy ASAP. I recommend this album to anyone. The genre and moods range song to song and has something for everybody
Apr 16, 2013It feels rather "poppy" overall and lacking the true soul of Fall Out Boy found in earlier albums. There are some signs of life in it, but it's missing those hooks and angst of early Fall Out Boy.
Apr 16, 2013A mixed bag that grows on you, this album is nothing if not a triumphant return to what these four were in the beginning: four guys making music they would jam out to themselves and could be proud of. The album has definite high points like the up-beat, instant radio jam "Young Volcanoes" and the classic fall out boy lines such as "The Phoenix's" Wearing our vintage misery/No, i think i looked a little better on me. There are also a few stumbles like the clunky and unsure "Death Valley" which washes out Stump's vocals and the unimpressive "The Mighty Fall" which proudly boasts unimaginative hooks and an ill-advised guest appearance from Big Sean which will probably not win over a lot of fall out boy's pop-punk fan base. Overall the album is both a bold experiment and a return to form for Fall Out Boy, that's sure to have Fall Out Boy fans hitting repeat and those looking for a unique sound checking them out.… Expand
Apr 21, 2013This is not the pop punk band from 2003. This is Fall Out Boy in 2013, continuing to make slick progression from their last albums and making it seem as if they never left the building. Save Rock and Roll captures the band's bombastic hooks and charm, all while implementing modern trends with ease. While the album features some high points (the lush duets with Foxes and Elton John, the dynamic energy of "The Phoenix" and "Rat a Tat"), it also has its downs( Big Sean's groan-inducing spot in "The Mighty Fall" and the heavy dose of compression in various places). Save Rock and Roll is a pop album, but it is also a risk-taking experience that is not unusual for a band like Fall Out Boy given their history. And that is what makes it as rock and roll as any guitar thrashing collection.… Expand
Apr 23, 2013There are some good songs in this album (ex: My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark), and those good ones excel. However there are some mediocre ones and one or two bad ones. Altogether a great album. 9/10.
Apr 29, 2013Fall Out Boy is one of the biggest pop punk bands of our time, next to outfits like Blink-182, and Green Day. The thing is, I've never liked Fall Out Boy, and I never payed attention to any of the bands earlier albums. So, being 16 and hearing of an upcoming new LP, I decided to give it a listen. After listening to a stream a few times, I'll admit that the songs have a catchy, pop vibe to them all, but it all sounds relatively stale. It didn't make much sense to me that die-hard fans of the collective considered Save Rock and Roll to be an experimental album in the bands discography. To be honest, I've felt like I've heard it somewhere before, from some other generic pop punk band.… Expand
Apr 26, 2013Amazing and long overdue... FOB brings a lot of new-ness to the scene that shows they can be relevant in 2013 while maintaining #1 on the charts.
An amazing album.
Apr 28, 2013The album opens with "The Phoenix", which to me, is as "punk rock" a Fall Out Boy song as I've heard. The lyrics from the chorus, "Hey Young Blood/Doesn't it feel/Like our time is running out?" coming from the soulful, yet almost angry sounding, Patrick Stump feels as urgent as they've ever been. It has the angst of "Take This To Your Grave", with furious string arrangements and an almost bouncy chorus.
My Songs.... (Light Em Up) is the first single released when they announced their return. Won't waste time on it since it's been out since February tho. Good song, good single considering the other sounds on the album, and if they had come out with any other (Like "Alone Together), it might have been a bit aggressive and really put off some fans, but "My songs" serves as a good first single and introduction to their "new" sound.
"Alone Together" is a song that didn't make sense to me at first, however, it's home to a few of my favorite moments on the album, "I'm outside the door/Invite me in/So we can go back and play pretend/I'm on deck and I'm up next/Tonight I'm high as a private jet." Lyrics like that, which sound perfect for pop radio, but don't sound cheap and cliche like most pop lyrics, accompanied with the guitar in the background, perfectly complements each other.
"Where Did The Party Go"- Fun, "Top-Dropped" type of song, really bouncy chorus. Although, the part about "Boys smoking menthols/Girls are getting back rubs" might be the weakest lyrics of the record, the music makes you gloss over that and gets you in the dancing mood. Good song, but probably one of my least favorites.
"Just One Yesterday"- Musically, this is my least favorite song on the album, however, the lyrics absolutely make up for this. "I don't have the right name/Or the right looks/But I have twice the heart." If you're a fan of Adele, this song might sound familiar to you, and could be a good song to get you into the album. Plus, the combination of guest artist Foxes & Patrick's vocals is absolutely superb, she really adds another dimension to the song, that otherwise would be lacking.
"The Mighty Fall"- Really cool, classic hip-hop kind of beat and feel. Also, home to one of the few really definitive guitar riffs on the record. The vocals for the chorus absolutely soars and is the high point of the song. Big Sean makes an appearance, and his verse is ok (at best) but doesn't really enhance the song, more or less keeps up with the theme.. Good song, one of my favorites, but not the most memorable on the record.
"Miss Missing You"- The intro reminds me of "(Coffee's For Closers) on "Folie a Deux", otherwise, it's one of the "pop" sounding songs, which a lot of synth, a very electronic song. Once again, the chorus has the most memorable lyrics, "Baby, you were my picket fence/I miss missing you now and then/Chlorine kiss/Summer skin/I miss missing you now and then". The outro, is a very delicate, very personal acoustic end that makes you not want to skip this song just to hear that part.
"Death Valley"- My personal favorite on the album, also seems like where they pulled out all the stops. The opening lyrics are my favorite on the record (also the way Patrick sings them gives me chills), "I wanna see your animal side/Let it all out." The drumming is very CFC's-ish, straightforward drumline beat. Chorus is pure falsetto from Patrick, it just asks to be danced to. There's a nice acoustic part, right before some very surprising 15 seconds of dubstep. Had no idea I'd hear dubstep in an FOB song, but it doesn't out of place, I actually thought it was kind of cool.
"Young Volcanoes"- Very almost a Train or Fun like song. Really fun to sing along to, a song that even your mom would like. And, hearing Patrick sing "We will teach you how to boys next door out of is worth hearing alone. Also, Hurley's drums really beat it up on this song.
"Rat-A-Tat"- Courtney Love, it's all I really need to say when you hear her into, it's very a-typical her. Aside from The Phoenix, the most aggressive, frenetic song, with a chilled out chorus, "We're all fighting growing old/In the hopes/Of a few minutes more/To get on St. Peter's list/But you need to lower your standards/Cause it's never getting any better than this. Cool song, but one of the weakest.
"Save Rock and Roll"- An Epic end to the album, the combo of Elton John & Patrick, combined with some really personal lyrics, this song sounds like an ode to the fans who've been there from the very start. Think, "What a Catch, Donnie" sound without all the unnecessary cameos. "You are what you love/Not who loves you/" This song, could make or break the album for you, but is the logical end to a very diverse album.
Overall, as a person who has been a fan for many years, I was very pleased with the album. In the end, change is inevitable, however, change can be a good thing, in this case, I'd say it was.
Favorites: The Phoenix, Alone Together, Death Valley, The Mighty Fall… Expand
Apr 28, 2013This album is fantastic! Fall Out Boy returns and fills the void that they have left behind. This album contains many hit songs including The Phoenix, Just One Yesterday, Death Valley, Miss Missing You, among many others. The songs do not feel like fillers terrible songs surrounding one or two hits to make an album and as a result, you can feel the amazing effort put into this compilation. The one song that feels out of place is "The Might Fall" featuring rapper Big Sean. The rapping style of Big Sean clashes not only with the song but also with the album as a whole. Despite this one feature, other features such as Courtney Love, Foxes, and Elton John fell right into place in this concoction of pop rock. Furthermore, Patrick Stump's vocals exceed the requirements of the rock genre and adds quick pitch changes that provide pleasant elements to each song.
I give this album a 10 even though it's not perfect, but by today's standard of the average album, as I said, which usually includes only a few great songs and a handful of mediocre ones, Fall Out Boy's Save Rock & Roll takes the prize.… Expand
May 1, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Save Rock and Roll is the first Fall Out Boy album that I've ever listened to from front to back. So I have a completely unbiased opinion on it. It was an album with songs that I like to call anthem or celebration songs. But after 4 years of being on hiatus the band has produced an extraordinary album. There are a few co-writes on the album including the album track, Save Rock and Roll which features Elton John and Rat a Tat featuring Courtney Love. In my opinion Fall Out Boy is the pure definition of the "party rock" sub-genre. They know how to get listeners on their feet and dancing.… Expand
May 15, 2013With a title like Save Rock and Roll, there is a certain expectation level, and while I feel like Fall Out Boy has some tracks that really strove to hit the mark there is an overwhelming amount of tracks that I would never call rock and roll. They probably could have gotten away with calling it Save Alternative, Sort of Rock-ish, Fun Music (This will now be the name of my first album, their loss).

Jun 4, 2013I can only assume the title Save Rock and Roll is intentionally ironic on their part because even they should know it's quite a stretch to call this rock and roll.
May 14, 2013Singer Nate Ruess' sincerity and youth anthems fuel Save Rock And Roll.
May 9, 2013Save Rock and Roll pools an assortment of trademark hooks to lure you in, but its commercially formulaic spine will leave you feeling like you should have known better.

Gold Coast Tickets does not want you to miss out on the action as the 2012 Notre Dame Fighting Irish are set to kick off their college football season. The Fighting Irish will operate under head coach Brian Kelly at Notre Dame Stadium, which holds just over 80,000 roaring fans bleeding gold and navy blue. The NFL plays home to an enormous amount of former Fighting Irish, most notably including: Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Brady Quinn, New York Giants defensive end Justin Tuck, and Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Floyd. The Fighting Irish boast some NCAA records, having 96 All Americans and 7 Heisman Trophy winners, more than any other school. In addition, they have 13 National Championships, also more than any other school in Division 1 football. Notre Dame's most recent National Championship came in 1993 under Lou Holtz, but they have yet to be back to the anticipated game since that season. Last year they made it to the Champs Sports Bowl, but did not come up victorious. This year they hope to turn things around and make a run for a BCS bowl, but it will not be easy with one of the toughest schedules in the nation. The Fighting Irish will play all of their rivals this season. First, they open up the season at home against Navy, the longest standing rival in college football history, playing each other for 83 straight seasons. Second, they will host Purdue for the rights to the prestigious Shillelagh Trophy. Third, they will travel to East Landing, Michigan, to take on a good Spartan team for the Megaphone Trophy. Fourth, they will come back home to try and beat their 2nd major rival, the Michigan Wolverines. Next, the Fighting Irish will match up with fairly new Pac 12 rival Stanford. Then, Notre Dame will travel to Boston College to play the Holy War. Finally, they will finish up their season in beautiful Southern California to play their biggest rival the USC Trojans. However, these are not the only tough games of the season for the Fighting Irish, as they also have to play college football powerhouses such as: Miami (FL), BYU, Oklahoma, Pittsburgh, and Wake Forest. Gold Coast Tickets has the best selection for your entire Fighting Irish and college football season ticket needs!

Nápravník & Blumenfeld: Works for piano & orchestra
Studio Master: CDA67511 Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available
Movement 1: Allegro energico
Movement 2: Larghetto
Movement 3: Allegro vivace
The first movement (Allegro energico) begins with four mighty A minor chords from the full orchestra, a gesture that owes a clear debt to the 'Dies irae' from Verdi's Requiem which Nápravník had conducted in St Petersburg shortly before composing this concerto. The main theme is then introduced by the piano in octaves. There is something reminiscent of Brahms in the scope of this melody, although it has its own distinctive flavour. The woodwind takes over this theme in a more lyrical fashion, although swirling figuration from the soloist maintains the sense of energy and momentum. An expressive linking theme, based on the opening diminished fourth interval of the main motif, is repeated and then fragmented, and leads us to a subordinate melody first stated by the piano in C major (at 2'48''). The short development section begins with this subordinate theme played in E flat major by the strings, accompanied by delicate but virtuosic thirds and sixths from the piano (from 4'18''). This development section emphasizes the tight motivic construction of the movement as well as its driving energy. The recapitulation begins with the return of the main theme in C major (from 6'06''); in the repeat the soloist metamorphoses the main theme, giving it a more lyrical character (meno mosso), later imitated in dialogue with the flute. After a coda that summarizes the melodic ideas comes an exquisite chordal transition from the strings which leads directly into the second movement.
The Larghetto, in B flat major, begins with a nocturne-like theme from the piano, supported by lilting left-hand chords. An episode in G minor (poco più mosso) introduces a secondary theme in the orchestra, and is characterized by the delicate double-note figurations from the soloist which lend the music an almost impressionistic colouring. The music's tenderness is combined with a latent passion which grows until the second theme resounds from the full orchestra supported by the piano's figurations which are now in grandiose octaves and chords (energico). The first theme returns, this time from the orchestra, against a backdrop of the piano's running scales and leggiero decoration.
The finale (Allegro vivace) is built on three themes. The first, in A major, is of a jocular nature, possibly having its origin in Glinka's Kamarinskaya; the second, in F sharp minor, is a playful Russian dance; the third (meno mosso, con tenerezza) is tender and intimate, and contrasts with the merriment of the first two themes. The confessional mood of this third idea is broken off when the second theme returns, and the element of rustic buffoonery is intensified as the first two themes are heard fortissimo; the lyrical third theme then returns with an even greater sense of contrast. The piano-writing becomes increasingly virtuosic during further interplay between the first two themes which leads to a glorious statement of the third theme, grandioso and forte, played by the orchestra with flamboyant arpeggios and passagework from the soloist. (Such exalted, hymn-like culminations are typical of the finales of Russian piano concertos, as in for example Tchaikovsky's first and Rachmaninov's second.) The coda is thrilling and triumphant, the work closing in a whirlwind of arpeggios and octaves.

Covering an 'unbalanced war' in a balanced way
It's a headache for the media to cover any war in a balanced way, but particularly so for an "unbalanced" or "disproportionate" one. Is this statement true? Are these terms misnomers? We take a look at some analysis of the Israel-Hamas conflict. Also, the UMP leadership battle has dominated French news this week - we take a look. Finally, a Japanese red panda gets a fright!

About Evanger's
Since 1935, Evanger's Dog & Cat Food Company, Inc. has been the finest natural dog food company in the United States. Founder Fred Evanger raised champion Great Danes and was a fervent believer that his dogs' health and the health of their offspring were dependent on wholesome, nutritious dog food - dog food without any preservatives and free of harmful additives. Frustrated with the pet food available to him, Mr. Evanger built a canning factory at his kennels. Almost 70 years later, we know that he was a man ahead of his time.

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Evanger's Super Premium Gold Canned Cat Food:
We have one cat, Fritzie, who has had problems with his teeth. The teeth were removed. He now has only four. We noticed he was losing a little weight. He has a hard time with dry cat food. We wanted to give him nutritional canned cat food. This is the second brand we started with. We ordered 2 cans of Evanger's Gold Can Cat Food 5.5 oz in different flavors. He likes both of them.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Scared me to death
By Caboodle
from California
Trying to get my cat onto grain-free foods - a real battle as she is finicky, stubborn, and addicted to the food she's been eating for 9 years. Bought a variety of grain-free options for her to try, and picked the Catch of the Day because the reviews mention how juicy it is - and she won't eat anything that isn't very, very moist. I didn't read the reviews closely enough, apparently. I opened this can and got the fright of my life - I thought I'd bought a can with a black snake in it...or at least an eel. I didn't realize when I ordered it that it contained a whole fish, revoltingly wrapped in a circle around the inside of the can. There was no way my cat was going to eat this thing, when she won't even stick her face into pate. I tried pouring the stinky brown juice in her bowl, and she nearly broke into a run getting away from it. I finally put on some gloves, carried the now covered can outside, closed my eyes, and threw the contents into the field several feet from my door. Some passing creature must have liked it, since it was gone when I (cautiously) checked the next morning...unless it slithered away on its own. Holy cow. Days later I still think about the moment I opened that can, and grimace.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: We've got an office doggie that this is her favorite!
Wow, this stuff is REAL FISH!
By Mary
from Church Road, VA
When you open the can, first of all do it over the sink because there's a lot of juice. Second, prepare for you kitty to go nuts! The Mackeral is just that--mackeral. Not ground or pureed or chopped--actual whole fish! My cats really enjoy this as a change from the usual land animal fare I offer them. The copious sauce is good if you're adding vitamins or probiotics. Nine of my 10 cats say "Yes, please!" and the 10th will eat it though with less enthusiasm. Overall, it's a hit and I'll be ordering more.
A nice change
My cats enjoy the occassional meal of Evanger's Mackeral but they wouldn't like it every day, plus I don't want them to get "addicted" to fish flavors. The mackeral is packed in a lot of liquid, so be careful opening the cans! I drain off most of it unless I am adding probiotics.

My cat loves the whole mackerel gravy
By Chris animal rescue volunteer
from Miami, FL
My cat was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. I was told that this would be a reoccurring problem. Before I knew of this infection I was feeding her Friskies dry food. She doesn't like any canned cat food which makes it a problem when I found out it is better for cats to eat raw or at least wet food. I've at least switched her from Friskies to Orijen grain free dry cat food. In my efforts to switch her to raw which she won't touch I tried over 20 different wet cat foods to get her away from the dry. The only one she liked was the Evangers whole mackerel. She loves the gravy and after 3 cases she seems to like eating the fish after cutting into smaller manageable bite sizes. With the 3 cases I've purchased there are two dislikes I have. The consistency of the amount of whole fish from one case to another varied quite a bit and every once in a while I would open a new can that she would smell and not even touch it, but then open another can and then she would eat that one. I don't know why. Anyway so far this is the only wet cat food that I can get her to eat in my efforts to switch her over to raw food. Also we have as of yet not had any reoccurrence of the Urinary infection. Been over 1 year.
My cat loves this

There's a lot of juice in this can which my cat loves. If the food is not moist, she won't eat it.

Mackeral was a big hit!
By SMullen
from Seattle, WA
I volunteer at a shelter and I like to purchase good food for the cats. I served out a can of Evanger's Mackeral in Gravy in 3 portions. Each portion was a piece of fish and some of the juice. The two cats that I was able to observe *loved* it. They slurped up the juice and ate every bit of the fish. (The gravy is more of a "juice" than a gravy, which is fine.) I suppose cats who like a pate consistency would not like this, since it is just fish pieces in liquid. I think this food is an excellent one to add to a "rotation".
By Zia's Mom
from Shawnee, OK
My cat has allergies, so limited ingredients is a necessary part of her diet. She prefers a smooth texture and this is ideal. Healthy food, great manufacturer. I got the Braised Chicken - it has no fish, which is another no-no for allergies. On her first can, she cleaned the bowl - a miracle! I'd highly recommend this to anyone with a finicky cat or one with allergies.
My cat didn't like
By Mumma
from Anytown, USA
This food lists great ingredients....sounds very nutitious.....but my cat hated it! It's really unbelievable because she likes everything!
great for picky kitties
my kitty is a very picky eater. she loved this flavor.

2007 Finance Roundtable: Pricing Regulatory Risk
Despite a favorable outlook for utility finance, cost pressures are straining rate structures.
a focus on recovering the strength of their balance sheets, now they're returning to focus on the equity side.
But realistically, this industry is going into a buildout mode, and those sorts of practices will have to slow down—unless they are OK with threats to their credit quality. Companies need strong balance sheets as they go into these very stressful periods.
Sauvage: Historically utilities have under-earned during big cap-ex buildout phases.
I'd expect payout ratios to edge up a little bit, depending on cap-ex plans and regulatory treatment. A lot of the capital going in at this stage—advanced metering and other grid infrastructure—should get into the rate base more quickly than long-term generation investment. This is particularly true for companies that are going in for rate cases frequently.
Maloney: Utilities no longer own all parts of the value chain. They are service providers of last resort, and more procurement is coming outside of cost-of-service regulation. Look at how technology has evolved and how uncertainties in demand have shifted. Given this risk, is this the same stock you tried to sell to widows and orphans 30 years ago?
Arguably utilities should be getting higher returns for the capital employed. Regulatory policy has a very important effect on what utilities do and the risks they face. That's even truer today than it was before. At the end of the day they are facing greater risks, but simply adjusting the dividend may not be sufficient to deal with those risks.
Nastro: At this point in the capital-investment cycle, there's a natural tension between credit quality and equity returns.
And the cap-ex bubble is not yet reflected in valuations, as can be seen in the limited differentiation between the highest and lowest PE-ratios in the sector. Utilities are expected to need $60 billion in external capital between now and the end of 2010. We're at the front end of a period of rate-case filings. Historically, regulatory pressure has compressed returns on equity.
Eventually the market will start to differentiate between winners and losers based on regulatory environment. States that use performance-based rate-making, provide incentives for infrastructure growth, and favor settlement over litigation will provide a more attractive regulatory backdrop to attract needed capital.

some dank weed
really potent weed, produced by proper slow drying of harvested plant material, usually requiring curing (putting plant material in paper bag, folding over top, placing that bag in another bag. Thus reducing air and light contact on said plant materials, so when you go to retrieve some of said plant materials, it is still moist, green and sticky because the resin glands are still intact and 'sweating'.
usually can only be found on or near a High School (go on, Im sure your son would love to hook you up with some digity dank.

Debussy & Ravel: String Quartets
CDH88018 Helios (Hyperion's budget label) — Rights no longer controlled by Hyperion
Movement 1: Allegro moderato, très doux
Movement 2: Assez vif, très rythmé
Movement 3: Très lent
Movement 4: Vif et agité
The work had had its first performance a year earlier, on 5 March 1904. Whatever academic failure lay behind him, and indeed in front of him, after this performance he could no longer be written off as just another salon composer. He had 'arrived'. And it's worth noting that when a second edition of the score was published in 1910, he changed a few details of the texture but nothing of the substance.
In 1904 he could of course still be accused of being a Debussyste, and would be for a number of years yet. The charge, in respect of the Quartet, does carry some weight, not least because the months around its first performance mark the high-water mark of the two composers' friendship. For a century Debussy has been quoted as begging Ravel not to change a note of the work. The truth, now vouchsafed through the publication of Debussy's Correspondance, is rather more prosaic, if no less interesting: what Debussy in fact begged was that Ravel shouldn't ask the players to play more quietly, as he threatened to after the final rehearsal, but should bear in mind that an audience mops up sound—though the viola could be encouraged to be a bit more discreet.
Ravel proclaims his individual take on the medium from the very start. The curiously static feel of the opening paragraph must have upset some older listeners who were accustomed to greater assertiveness at this point in a sonata movement, and for them perhaps the refreshing triplets of the second subject did not come a bar too early. But the interval of the falling fourth and the rising bass line mark the first theme as essentially Ravelian and both features help in unifying the work, as does his attraction to modal harmonies and outlines. Each of the four movements begins with the note A, linking the tonic F major to D minor and A minor; the orthodox dominant C major is hardly heard from beginning to end. The first movement is cast in traditional sonata form with a peaceful coda, but on the textural level can be seen differently: the composer Gerard McBurney has spoken of it as a game of pairs, 'like one of those folk dances where, phrase by phrase, you swing from one partner to the next … and you never quite know whose hand you're going to be holding in a few bars' time.'
The scherzo thrives on the opposition between plucked and bowed sounds and, in the middle section, between steady and fluctuating tempos. If the overall conception owes something to the scherzo of Debussy's Quartet, Ravel's full, almost orchestral textures are his own—it seems he saw the medium objectively, uncluttered by any notion of it as the accepted repository of pure inward thoughts. The cello phrase that opens the slow middle section, later taken up by the first violin in octaves, is related to the first four notes of the first movement, but not too obviously so.
In the slow movement Ravel manages to integrate into his own language harmonies that owe something to César Franck, and from the start reappearances of the opening phrase from the first movement now proclaim his cyclic intentions more plainly. If these initially sound extraneous to the argument, by the end of the movement Ravel has succeeded in integrating them so that the reference in the final three bars has the force of a conclusive statement.
In the finale he shows total assurance in handling the asymmetry of five beats in the bar (possibly deriving from his love of Russian music) and in balancing themes against ostinato patterns. In effect he continues the rhythmic games of the second movement, replacing the 6/8–3/4 contrast with one of 5/8 (5/4)–3/4. The area of 5/8 (5/4) is characterized by the sound of fast repeated notes, while that of 3/4 carries the new versions of the two themes of the first movement. These themes are now less concerned with tension between each other than with counteracting the subversive powers of the quintuple rhythm. The coda compresses the rhythmic struggle, and triple metre wins by a whisker.

text: Incredible work from Nicola Conte – Schema records maestro making his Blue Note debut with this set – and giving the label one of their best new albums of the 21st Century! The record's quite different than Nicola's programmed dancefloor work for Schema – and is much more of an organic jazz-based session – with instrumentation by a wide arrangement of hip European jazzers (including Till Bronner and Rosario Giuliani!), plus sweet vocals from a variety of different singers! The groove is still very much in the Conte/Schema spirit – often in a loping modal approach to jazz, with a strong inspiration from the best European scenes of the late 60s and early 70s. The sound is wonderful – with players from the larger lineup playing in differing groups from track to track – showcasing instrumentation that includes vibes, flute, trombone, tenor, alto, and even a bit of guitar from Nicola himself. Vocalists include Bembe Segue, Lucia Minetti, Cristina Zavalloni, and Till Bronner – and titles include "Sea & Sand", "Nefertiti", "Wanin Moon", "A Time For Spring", "Kind Of Sunshine", "Aphrodite's Dream", "The Dharma Bums", "All Gone", "Le Depart", "The In Between", and "Several Shades Of Dawn". Imagine the best work of Schema or Compost done in an all-organic, all-natural mode – and you've got the beautiful sound of this set! This 2010 Schema special edition features the original album remastered, plus a bonus CD featuring the previously vinyl only "Bohemian's Dilemma" and "Waltz Of The Sirens", an alternate version of "Nefertiti", an extended version of "Kind Of Sunshine" and other great tracks – including the previously unreleased "Danubian", "Teardrop Painted Blue" and "Quiet Stars". An hour of bonus material in all! (Nicola Conte's 2004 classic remastered – and featuring a bonus CD with an additional hour of material!) © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

What we do
UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, is the lead UN agency for delivering a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every birth is safe, and every young person's potential is fulfilled.
UNFPA expands the possibilities for women and young people to lead healthy and productive lives.
Since UNFPA started working in 1969, the number – and rate – of women dying from complications of pregnancy or childbirth has been halved. Families are smaller and healthier. Young people are more connected and empowered than ever before.
But too many are still left behind. Nearly a billion people remain mired in extreme poverty. Reproductive health problems are a leading cause of death and disability for women in the developing world. Young people bear the highest risks of HIV infection and unintended pregnancy. More than a hundred million girls face the prospect of child marriage and other harmful practices, such as female genital mutilation or cutting.
Much more needs to be done to ensure a world in which all individuals can exercise their basic human rights, including those that relate to the most intimate and fundamental aspects of life.
How We Work
UNFPA is on the ground improving lives in about 150 countries that are home to 80 per cent of the world's population. In these countries, the Fund is a catalyst for progress. Working with governments and through partnerships with other UN agencies, civil society and the private sector, we make a real difference in the lives of millions of people, especially those most vulnerable.
Our network of regional and sub-regional offices provides technical expertise and coordinates the efforts of our country offices that work on the front lines of development.
UNFPA anticipates and responds to tomorrow's challenges today. We help countries use population data to assess and anticipate needs, and to monitor progress and gaps in delivering on our promises. We provide technical guidance, training and support to empower our partners and colleagues in the field. And we help ensure that the reproductive health and rights of women and young people remain at the very centre of development.
Guided by the Programme of Action adopted at the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) and the Millennium Development Goals, UNFPA partners with governments, civil society and other agencies to advance our mission. The ICPD Beyond 2014 Global Report , released in February 2014, revealed how much progress has been made and the significant work that remains to be done. The actions and recommendations identified in the report are crucial for achieving the goals of the ICPD Programme of Action and its linkage with the post-2015 development agenda.
Despite worldwide economic challenges and a competitive aid environment, total revenue for UNFPA in 2012 reached a record $981.4 million. This amount includes $437.5 million in voluntary donor contributions (core resources), $503.1 million in earmarked funds (non-core resources), and $40.8 million in other revenue.
Ensuring every pregnancy is wanted
Few things have a greater impact on the life of a woman than the number and spacing of her children. That's why international agreements going back decades affirm that individuals should have the right (and the means) to freely decide when (or if) to start a family and how many children to bear. Yet, in this new century, some 222 million women who want to avoid or delay childbearing still lack access to the quality services and supplies needed to manage their fertility.
Simply meeting the unmet need for voluntary family planning would reduce the number of maternal deaths by nearly a third, and pay for itself. That's because adding contraceptive choices to basic health care would mean fewer pregnancies and newborn health services required. This would avert 54 million unintended pregnancies, 26 million abortions (of which 16 million are unsafe), and seven million miscarriages. It would also prevent 79,000 maternal deaths and 1.1 million infant deaths.
UNFPA supports healthy families by:
• Training health workers to deliver quality family planning services
• Supplying contraceptives in emergency situations
• Ensuring youth-friendly reproductive health care
• Providing counselling and choices to women who want to avoid or delay pregnancy
• Educating men on the benefits of birth spacing
Supporting maternal health
We know how to save almost all women who die giving life. The first step is to ensure they can plan their pregnancies and space their births. Skilled birth attendance at delivery, with backup emergency obstetric care and essential supplies in place, is also critical.
Perhaps the most challenging aspect of reducing maternal death and disability is finding ways to reach all women, even those in the poorest, most remote areas, or in times of natural or man-made disasters. This involves bolstering health systems. It is also critical that pregnant women are able to access all the care they need, from prenatal HIV testing to postnatal care for newborns, at the same clinic or health centre. This approach saves money and saves lives.
UNFPA supports maternal health by:
• Training midwives and health workers
• Preventing and treating obstetric fistula
• Supplying clean birthing kits following disasters
• Strengthening emergency obstetric care
• Ensuring reliable supplies of essential medicines and equipment
• Enabling birth spacing
Helping young people fulfil their potential
People under 25 constitute 43 per cent of the world's population – and that figure rises to almost 60 per cent in many least developed countries. Their reproductive choices will shape future demographic trends.
UNFPA advocates for the rights of young people, including the right to accurate information and services related to sexuality and reproductive health. Empowered with knowledge and skills to protect themselves and make informed decisions, they can realize their full potential and contribute to economic and social transformation.
Investing in young people, especially adolescent girls, is one of the smartest investments a country can make. As parents, teachers and leaders of the next generation, they can help break the cycle of poverty, strengthen the social fabric and create a sustainable future.
UNFPA advocates for the welfare of young people by:
• Promoting the human rights of adolescents
• Preventing HIV infection
• Engaging young people in decisions that affect them
• Supporting age-appropriate comprehensive sexuality education
• Creating safe spaces for adolescent girls
• Encouraging abandonment of harmful practices
• Encouraging leadership

Very nice.
[Today 06:48 PM] Ion:swimming in a natural body of water ISN'T acceptable...it's momentarily tolerable
I like the new editing, although the transitions from the recorded fight and the abilities tab seems a bit bold. Maybe lower the volume a bit, it took away from you speaking a bit. Over all it was an amazing update compared to previous videos.
Nice job guys.
Like the new format..a questions tho..for the cystals on 10 man is it 3 or 4 players that need to soak?
For 10-man, it's three crystals.
And note that during phase 2, you can position yourself at a crystal's edge, or even between two crystals close together, and still DPS the boss.
Editing quality is a huge stepup from past guides. Good job. Although I have to ask, who needs a Morchok guide?
I like the format, the only thing I would like to say is that usually the attached full encounter is what helped my Guild. So hopefully those will be added into the new format.
Really like the new format. Thanks TankSpot. Hope to see the remaining 7 boss encounters up soon, so I can direct my raiders here for strategy.
I also like the new format; It seems like a big step up in quality.
I do wonder though, why don't you guys do PTR videos of the bosses so you can have them up before the patch goes live, like some other sites do? Is it because PTR bosses can change like Shannox did, or because you just don't enjoy raiding the PTR? Or unnamed option 3?
Fantastic update, loving the production quality.
My only suggestion would be similar to Sploda's, please included the full encounter video at the end as your previous guides did. This was something unique that only Tankspot videos offered and it was extremely helpful. Seeing the pacing of the fight in real time helped to know when to expect which abilities.
EDIT: As to the desire for full kill videos. I'm not completely sure I like the old method of just slapping it on to the end of the video -- it feels a little clunky. What we might see about doing though is uploading the full kill separately (either on the ZAMofficial youtube channel or on authors' own channels) and linking to it from the original post. The other thing to consider that you guys haven't seen yet (mostly because Morchok is kind of faceroll) is we'll be switching between different perspectives when we have the footage available and the guide calls for it. At that point we could potentially be taking footage from 3 or 4 different kills, and tacking all of them on the end of a video would be kind of overboard.
Hey guys, it's the editor here. Thanks for all the feedback we love hearing it, so I assume you guys do to...
@Xareus - We avoided doing PTR videos for the exact reason (Shannox) you stated. However, looking into timeframe, we are planning to adjust this and have them ready from the PTR come Mists of Pandaria. =)
@Xadefinn/Sploda - I will talk with Lore about that, but I do know we intended to make these guides short, brief, and to the point. Assuming that most raiders (not raid leaders) pull up guides while sitting right at the boss for a quick overview before they pull the boss, the intention is keeping them as short as possible. However, I do understand and agree with your concern. I'll bring it up with Lore as we go forward with guides in the future.
Kill videos being AVAILABLE would be nice. They don't necessarily have to be in these specific guides, but maybe in the same thread would be worth it. That way people can see how to move and handle the actual abilities. Sometimes, it's also nice to hear what people are saying to each other, giving it a feel for an actual encounter.
Otherwise, I think the format is pretty sweet, and it would be totally awesome to cover 10-man guides this way if there are some significant differences between each strategy.
Very very nice new format guys, great job
This is my first post here but I would like to say that I do like the new format and quality of the guides. It is a big step up from what they were, a lot more professional. I would like to see the actual kill with vent talk at the end of the video, similar to what Xadefinn, even if its in a different video. Its nice to hear how a raid leader and other members are reacting to what is happening versus us just knowing the spells. I do look forward to seeing more complicated fights be explained in this manor. Thanks for offering such a wonderful tool to raiding though.
Just a quick thing Lore you said that you should assign 7 people to take the damage from the bomb things that blow up. But it chooses random people so you can't exactly assign people.. Those seven people just need to have their heads screwed on and when the beam is on them GTFO and get to the bomb.
i really like the new format.

The way Alliena narrated her "full fight" portions at the end of her guide gave more insight to each encounter, and let people see the force of abilities rather than simply be told them.

Architecture at A&MWritten by Lori Moffatt | Published January 21, 2010
I just received word that Texas A&M University recently dedicated its first two architect-designed buildings, physics buildings named for university benefactors George P. and Cynthia Woods Mitchell. Both structures were designed by architect Michael Graves and boast numerous "green" features, including heating & AC systems that use natural convection currents and a rainfall collection cistern.
Taco TourWritten by Texas Highways | Published January 21, 2010
When my son and daughter-in-law returned to Austin for the holidays recently, they had their priorities straight: They planned to eat as many different tacos at as many different places as possible during their 10-day visit. Their Tex-Mex cravings began soon after they moved to Columbus, Ohio, last July. And their obsession only intensified when they ordered fajitas at a local restaurant and the meat was served with pita bread!
Rock OnWritten by Jill Lawless | Published January 20, 2010
Check out Dale Weisman's feature on rock hunting in the February issue. A lifelong rockhound, Dale logged hundreds of miles researching this piece, scouring rock-hunting ranches, rivers, roadcuts, and rock shops across the state. He offers the following suggestions for further reading: Gem Trails of Texas, by Brad Cross; The Rockhound's Guide to Texas, by Melinda Crow; and Roadside Geology of Texas, by Darwin Spearing.
I concur with Dale on the wonders of Woodward Ranch. Two tips if you go: Ask Trey Woodward to show you the gemstone-studded mantel in his home, and pick up a hand lens (around $16) in his rock shop for spectacular crystalline close-ups.
Let us know about your cool rock and fossil finds. Happy hunting!

Brenham BreakWritten by Texas Highways | Published January 13, 2010
On my second trip back to Austin from Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport during the holidays, I decided to break up the journey with a stop in Brenham. Have you been to this little town lately, not the Brenham you pass by as you zoom along US 290 or Texas 36 on your way to somewhere else, but the real Brenham, downtown? There are so many quaint shops and boutiques on West Alamo now that it reminds me of Fredericksburg's Main Street.
Quirky Breakfast in HoustonWritten by Jane Wu | Published January 11, 2010
If you're planning to tour Quirky Houston, I suggest you start your day with breakfast. On a recent visit, my daughter tipped me off to Baby Barnaby's, next door to its big brother Barnaby's Cafe (which serves lunch and dinner) in the Montrose area, the birthplace of Houston-quirky. This colorful cafe is cozy, casual, and cheap. The menu features a few whimsically named items like Green Eggs (eggs scrambled with spinach, artichoke hearts, and jack cheese) as well as breakfast basics, like bacon-and-eggs and pancakes. City-diner staples such as the Lox Platter, and Corned Beef Hash and Eggs are offered, along with Tex-Mex favorites like breakfast tacos, migas and huevos rancheros. My daughter had the Lox Platter and I had the basic Breakfast Plate with scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, and grits. Both the standard fare and the lox/bagel/cream cheese were prepared "just-right," as were the portions, not too filling and perfect for packing in a day to tour Houston's quirky sights. Houston brims with quirky breakfast places. Tell us about your favorite Quirky Houston breakfast spot.
Partying with the Big HeadsWritten by Lois M. Rodriguez | Published January 6, 2010
The January issue of Texas Highways includes a feature about the oddball attractions of sophisticated Houston. As a native Houstonian, I enjoy recalling those quirky sites. Of course, I'm living in Austin now, where, luckily, there's no dearth of "quirky" here.
Big Mo's BBQWritten by Texas Highways | Published November 24, 2009
When I was in Victoria a couple of weeks ago, I tried a new barbecue restaurant a friend had recommended, Big Mo's BBQ at 1301 Sam Houston Drive. It's in a former Pizza Hut not far from my old high school, though I can't say that I remember ever eating pizza there. The reality is that the pizza venue probably came and went since I graduated.
But back to Big Mo's. The friend not only recommended the restaurant, but also gave me samples of its smoked chicken and brisket, both extra lean and thinly sliced, which she had in her fridge. They were moist and delicious. I also tasted the green beans, which had a delightful, smoky flavor themselves. I'm not a fan of potato salad, so I passed on that, but my friend assured me it was good, too. After this preview, I stopped in at Big Mo's a few days later and ordered a sliced brisket sandwich. It wasn't quite as lean as the brisket I'd tried earlier, but still mighty tasty. Next time, I'll order the "Extra Lean Trim" version.
While waiting for my order, I looked around the spic-and-span dining room and studied the menu. Turns out that Big Mo's is a spin-off of a longtime area barbecue favorite called McMillan's Bar-B-Q & Catering, in Fannin, southwest of Victoria. Louis McMillan has, in effect, passed the torch to his daughter and son-in-law, Teri and David Moten, the owners of Big Mo's. My judgment: The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Feels Like FallWritten by Jill Lawless | Published November 4, 2009
The crisp autumn mornings of late are reminding me of my summer trip to the Fort Davis area. Even in August, the daytime highs climbed only to the 80s, and nighttime lows fell into the 60s, energizing temps that inspired numerous hikes in Davis Mountains State Park, with the magical CCC-constructed Indian Lodge as our base. News to me (and especially enjoyed by my kid) was the mile-and-a-half trail that descends from the park's scenic Skyline Drive to Fort Davis National Historic Site. Other trip highlights: star partying at McDonald Observatory (which we learned has a fun back-up plan for cloudy nights), rock-hunting at Woodward Ranch south of Alpine, and following the Rio Grande's flow as we drove the majestic River Road. Keep a lookout for TH's upcoming stories on the latter two in the February Big Bend special issue!
Live Music and Lava LampsWritten by Texas Highways | Published October 22, 2009
On a recent trip to San Angelo, I discovered an unusual venue in the middle of downtown. During the day, The House of Fifi Dubois is a vintage furniture store, but on many Saturday nights, it transforms into what has to be its true calling: a groovy setting for listening to live music. With the lights dimmed and all those couches and tables from the 50s, 60s, and 70s arranged in a semicircle to face a wooden stage at one end, it works perfectly. A good sound system also helps. As do good musicians, such as the six female performers I heard when I was there, the San Angelo Divas, a bluesy, folk-rock group with a big sound.
The system is simple. Store owners Phyllis Cox (Fifi) and Toni Hunter place a jar near the entrance to collect money to pay the band. It's strictly BYOB, although set-ups (Cokes, Sprite, water, etc) and a few snacks are on hand. The store provides the funky atmosphere (merchandise on display ranges from lava lamps to avocado-green ice buckets), the musicians do their thing, and listeners (twenty-somethings to seniors) drift in and out from 7 to 10. A few people are inspired to dance on the sidelines, but mostly, groups of friends just sit around enjoying the music in a comfy, super-cool setting. I can't wait to go again.

Last Saturday, I went to Houston's Bayou City Art Festival Downtown with my sister, Jean. I recently discovered that this festival had a former life as the Westheimer Art Festival, which I attended over 30 years ago.

Even with worse gear than yours you can tank naxx without any problems.
Around 25-27k HP, and being a dk around 50% avoid (infight.. with the +10% Parry buff active) and crit immunity of course is enough for the 10 Player version.
25Players is possible, but you'll be hard to heal and your healers wont like you right now. But a few runs Naxx Normal will help you out, and you will be able to tank whatever you want in the current content. easily :-)
