I feel like not many people know about this fantasy series by Megan Whelan Turner (see below). Maybe I am wrong; maybe it is not the secret gem I think it is, but, if not, if you're saying to yourself, "hey, dude, never heard of it", then check it out (both literally and figuratively!).
The first book, The Thief, won the newberry honor in 1997 and is a short novel with a clever twist (don't worry, I'm not spoilling anything; I knew there was a twist ahead of time and still couldn't figure it out!). Now, though I know people have heard of this first book, it's the second and third book in the series that I am not so sure people know about (but maybe I am wrong here). The second book,The Queen of Attolia, is where things really take off, in my opinion. The plot becomes much fuller, more complex, and more intense. Instead of one really great twist like in the first book there are several upon several untill your head starts to spin a little. The characters are ones you fall in love with, as is the way with any good book, especially the brash, rude, young thief who is the main character. The Third book The King of Attolia, has just recently come out and continues the storyline.
Maybe I just like the characters a little too much, but to me, these are lesser known, good books.

Some of the authors on the longlist are as follows:

Did you know that:
The number of women-only tour operators has increased 230% in the past decade?
Of all nature, adventure or cultural trips travelers, 75% are women?
The average adventure traveler is not a 28-year old male, but a size-12, 47-year-old female? More women travel statistics
Maybe that's why the U.S. State Dept. feels the need to put out Tips for Women Traveling Alone and prompted website such as SERIOUS SAFETY TIPS FOR WOMEN to advise solo women travelers of the "power in vocal embarrassment", and to practice screaming before you leave home!
Not that Thelma and Louise would heel any of these - they were in for the thrills, the risks, and the possibilities of the open road, and in turn, have inspired a whole new fiction genre. Here are just a few:
Annie Freeman's Fabulous Traveling Funeral by Kris Radish. From Sonoma to Manhattan, 5 women carry Annie Freedman's ashes inside a pair of red sneakers to the special places in her life and try to unravel the secret she left them.
Ladies Coupe by Anita Nair. Set in contemporary India – 45 and single, an income-tax clerk weighted down by a demanding family, buys a one-way ticket on the all-women sleeping car bound for a resort town.
Lady Luck's Map of Vegas by Barbara Samuel. A snazzy Thunderbird, Route 66, some mother-daughter bonding and a few saucy secrets.
Loop Group by Larry McMurtry. Needing a change of scenery from their complicated lives in Tinsel Town, two women of a certain age take a fun and sex-obsessed road trip through Texas. Hey, let's be careful out there.
A new book out this summer by Francis Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, is entitled The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief. Enlightening and engaging, this book is the subject of a wonderful current article at Salon. Collins, who joined the U-M faculty in 1984 and still has ties here, talks in the Salon interview about topics including C.S. Lewis and athesism.
Here's a new picture book your family might enjoy, My Senator and Me: A dog's eye view of Washington D.C., by Sen. Edward Kennedy, illustrated by David Small. The book follows Kennedy and his Portuguese Water Dog, Champion Amigo's Seventh Wave, or "Splash," through an action-packed day in the nation's capital. A New York Times review was less than a rave - it said Splash's voice sounded like a civics lesson - but I liked this book, particularly the illustrations!
With election season heating up, we all probably need to be reading more than just newspapers. Here's a new book with a great deal of promise, The Good Fight: Why liberals - and only liberals - can win the War on Terror and make America great again. The author, Peter Beinart, is editor-at-large of The New Republic magazine. When the book came out earlier this summer, it prompted some favorable reviews, including one in the Washington Post. The book is currently available at Pittsfield and Mallets Creek.
Nora Ephron - essayist and film director - has a new book out, I Feel Bad About My Neck: and Other Thoughts on Being a Woman. Although I feel fine about my age and my neck, I'm eager to read this book - simply because Nora Ephron wrote it. So far the best article I've seen on it is an interview by Rebecca Traister at Salon, with the headline "What's So Damn Great About Aging?" Very entertaining.
I've been a fan of James Lee Burke ever since Dave Robicheaux first appeared in Neon Rain in 1987. His evocation of New Orleans and Louisiana is poetic and haunting. Who better to capture the beauty of the landscape and a way of life that Katrina destroyed? In this latest novel, the action take place just before the hurricane strikes but the mood is elegiac. Dave is looking back with sadness for what has already been lost.
At #1 is Phantom by Terry Goodkind: the author is an admirer of Ayn Rand; some critics find her influence in the author's depiction of the battle between the forces of good and evil in his Sword of Truth fantasy series.
At #4 is Pegasus Descending by James Lee Burke: a young woman commits suicide; another young woman comes to New Iberia with vengeance on her mind; Dave Robicheaux becomes convinced of connections between the two and once again tries to save his world.
At #5 is The Ruins by Scott Smith: another critically acclaimed offbeat thriller by Smith, this time involving couples vacationing in the Yucatan.
At #10 is Sleeping with Fear by Kay Hooper: a psychic FBI agent comes under attack by dark forces while investigating occult activity in South Carolina (last book in trilogy after Hunting Fear and Chill of Fear).
He was called the 'Scourge of God' and considered one of the destroyers of the Roman Empire. His own empire stretched from the Rhine to the Black Sea, from the Baltic to the Balkans. He was Attila the Hun, once a byword for mindless barbarism. John Man's fascinating recent book Attila: The Barbarian King Who Challenged Rome revisits the evidence and retraces the career of this shrewd and powerful leader of the feared nomadic horsemen who challenged the Roman Empire for nearly 20 years during the early 5th Century. Man, a travel writer and historian, has traveled extensively in Asia and Mongolia and is also the author of Genghis Khan: Life, Death and Resurrection and Gobi: Tracking the Desert. Another fairly recent look at Attila can be found in Patrick Howarth's Attila, King of the Huns: Man and Myth and in the lushly filmed made-for-TV movie, Attila.

I am still quite new to Java and today I try to understand the use of iterators.
So I have a few questions:
Why would I need to implement Iterable at all, it only gives a method to create a new iterator for a collection, but I could just as well use a normal, or enchanced for-loop if I wanted to get all elements. I already read this question: What is the Iterable interface used for? and much more, but they kind of just say that it allows you to iterate through all your elements, which leads back to my question.
If I implement Iterable, should I implement Iterator too?
Because this one actually provides methods that could be useful to overwrite.
For example if my class had a boolean whether I want my objects in a loop or not, I could write
public boolean hasNext() { if(loop) return true; //other things }
If I do like said in 2., will an enchanced for-loop use these overwritten methods?
For example with the mentioned loop attribute above: Would the for-loop run infintely if it was true?
I hope someone can help me better understand this whole concept.

5 steps to letting go of a veterinary team member
You might not want to let go of an employee, but sometimes you're left with no choice. Here are four practical tips for carrying out a painless termination:
1. Plan ahead. Make sure you have a transition plan in place before you terminate the team member. Analyze her duties to make sure everything will be covered. Think about how you'll post the job opening online or in print. Have a plan in place for collecting her uniform, keys, or other supplies.
2. Do it at the end of the day. Don't embarrass the team member by firing her at the start of her shift so she has to walk back out in front of her coworkers. Call an inconspicuous one-on-one meeting without cluing in the rest of the staff.3. Prepare a letter. Write a letter explaining why you decided to terminate the employee. Often, when you fire a team member face to face, she'll hear very little of what you say in the moment because of the emotional weight of the situation. Reading the letter later will help her understand your position.
4. Offer to help. Sometimes a team member is a good person but just isn't a fit for your hospital. If that's the case, offer to write her a letter of recommendation based on her positive traits.
5. Tell your team. You want the rest of your staff to hear the news from you. So call a quick meeting and give a brief summary about why the employee was let go. Don't go into specifics, and try to focus on the positive things the team member did for the practice. Afterwards, enforce a no-gossip policy—both within the practice and online—and enforce it.
No one wants to fire or be fired, but sometimes it's best for everyone involved. Just remember to show respect to both the terminated employee and the rest of your staff to make the transition as easy as possible.

Volunteers, firefighters work to clean up neighborhood on Detroit's west side
A group of Detroit firefighters spent Saturday working to fight the blight that is not only an eyesore in neighborhoods but a hazard for students walking to and from school.
Saturday was national "Making a Difference Day," and the group hit the street to make their impact in the Cody-Rouge community on the city's west side.
The area around Cody and Rouge Park is part of the Detroit Public Schools' safe school routes program.
Parents and students said they were outraged by what they see in the neighborhood: burned, dilapidated homes and overgrown grass – a breeding ground for crime.
"Our kids have to walk through this to go to school. We don't like it. I didn't have to do it so why should they?" said parent Patrice Lambert.
Lambert said she blames the city for leaving the homes to crumble year after year.
"The time is now, not tomorrow. Today. Right now," she said.
The firefighters, along with an army of volunteers, removed brush and boarded up abandoned homes, all in an effort to make the community feel safer.
"I live here and I got kids that go to school in Detroit Public Schools … If I don't do something for them, if I am not proactive, then I am part of the problem," said Deputy Fire Chief John King.
The Detroit Fire Department, Detroit Fireman's Fund, Skillman Foundation, Cody Rouge Community Action Alliance and other organizations were part of the effort.
The Detroit school district is expanding citizen patrols along routes to and from its school buildings.

The Saint James Parish region
Barbados offers such an abundance of natural beauty, culture and history that the island is called "The Gem of the Caribbean." Located about 300 miles north of Venezuela and the most Eastern of the Caribbean islands, Barbados portrays a delightful blend of West Indian culture and English Tradition. Independent since 1966, Barbados is the most developed of the Caribbean islands and Bridgetown, the 375-year-old historic capital is its colourful and bustling center of activity. Shopping, excellent dining and a funky nightlife are just a few of the many options available. There is an extensive bus system that is cheap and fast, providing an entertaining way to discover the island.
There are magnificent caves to explore, gorgeous landscapes and tropical gardens to visit, and an abundance of wildlife to see, including the mischievous little "green monkeys" that call Barbados their home. On the South and West coasts, the Caribbean Sea with calm blue waters and endless stretches of fine white sandy beaches invites you to relax, while the Atlantic east coast with cliffs and great waves is ideal for wind and sky surfing.
There is lots to do and the choice is not easy, but whether you enjoy some of the 3,000 hours of annual sunshine or chat with a friendly "Bajan" in one of the numerous little rum shops on the roadsides, make sure to relax in the comfort of your private Rental Butler villa at the end of the day. Take in the breathtaking sunsets, have a delicious local dinner prepared for you or just lean back and dream into the starry skies.

November 27, 2014
SAN DIEGO (AP) -- U.S. authorities say a highly sophisticated secret tunnel has been discovered on the border connecting San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement said late Wednesday that the passage was recently completed. Officials didn't elaborate in a brief statement.
Mexican news organizations published photos that show a deep, well-built tunnel near the Tijuana airport. Alberto Capella, Tijuana's public safety chief, told The Associated Press that a law enforcement operation was underway and he couldn't provide details.
Dozens of tunnels have been discovered along the border in recent years, designed largely to smuggle marijuana to the United States.

Paul Supporters: Beware the Third Party TrapSubmitted by ajackson1912 on Wed, 04/11/2012 - 13:41
"Say No To Third Party Efforts Doomed To Failure
* The party hacks and establishment media have consistently floated trial balloons and repeatedly questioned Ron Paul about will he make a third party run if he fails to secure the GOP nomination. They want him to run third party.
* This is because a third party effort and likely vote total will be small like all previous third party presidential candidates because Americans historically do not vote for third party candidates. Polling percentages usually start high and continually drop until election day.
* Second, this would validate their claim and propaganda message that Ron Paul supporters are not real Republicans and add credibility to their goal to push us out of the party as we are in fact rapidly taking over precinct by precinct and county by county. Over the next four years they fear our liberty forces may well take over some states and then the establishment leaders are out of their powerful influence peddling positions.
* A third party run is a trap promoted by the GOP neocon elites and their buddies in the establishment news to destroy the growing power of our movement and our threat to their neocon controlled Republican Party. The rules third parties are required to operate under were designed by the democrats and republicans to ensure their control over the one party state operating as a two party monopoly.
* Their rules require third parties to spend millions on ballot access and set up third parties as fertile ground for black flag operations, attractive to extremist views and rules are designed to cripple our credibility, fritter away our financial resources and support on useless repeated ballot access drives each election year and divide our movement. Right now the Libertarian Party is only on the ballot access in 27 states so you can see the difficulties they face.
They want Ron Paul and us out of the Republican Party. He has created hundreds of times more support, education success and made our views more prominent in the press than has the LP since inception. A third party action is a recipe for disaster and failure designed and crafted by the GOP to get us out of their party. We should stay and fight for our liberties inside the GOP as only here using their institutions designed to control us do we have the chance to be free once again.

If Romney gets the nominee I won't vote for him if Paul runs 3rd party I will vote for Paul if he doesn't I don't know what I will do, but I WILL NOT vote for Romney, and if that means Obama gets to be president again so be it.. the GOP has disenfranchised the Paul supporters and if Obama gets his 2nd term it will be a well deserved slap in their faces.
The GOP is too corrupt
In case you haven't notice they can make and change the rules. There are enough indies to make a run a punish the GOP. For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.
The GOP is a rat nest
But it is our best chance of saving this country. The third party trap is a black hole.
They want us to go third party.
It is a trap that will drain our energy and get us nowhere. We have to double our efforts and somehow win the Republican nomination. It is our last chance. If this last chance fails, sure go for it. But don't expect much. If it comes to this, I hope I am wrong.
Don't be naive, we will not get anywhere near as much media attention as Ross Perot did. He was not an outsider the way that Dr. Paul is. We will not be in the debates. We will fall off the radar, and be a convenient scapegoat for another four years of Obama.
I support this article.
We can SAVE the Republican Party!
Imagine, in 20 years, if Republican debates centered around who was going to do the least and veto the most.
Imagine is right. The
Imagine is right. The comparison to past LP performance is not convincing. Things have changed radically since then. A more realistic comparison would be to Ventura and Perot (before he self-destructed). Please note that the author has no real fall-back strategy should Paul not get the nomination. If we don't support Romney, what do we do after August (that is we want to retain our GOP bonafides)?

I was warming up to describe "Win Win" as a high-level sitcom and then wondered what's so bad about it being a sitcom if it's high-level? You have a situation, and it's funny. That's a sitcom. You have a funny situation, and there's some truth in it and unexpected characters, well-acted, and you may not have a great film but you enjoy watching it.
"Win Win" centers on Paul Giamatti, an actor whose motivation often seems to be: I'm fed up and not going to take it anymore. He can play sweet, but he's most at home in a role like this: Mike Flaherty, a mediocre lawyer in a New Jersey town, who can't make ends meet. He loves his kids and his wife, Jackie (Amy Ryan), but he doesn't like his work, he doesn't have the money to fix the boiler in the basement of his office, and he will happily wait until the dead tree in his front lawn falls on the house before he does anything about it.
Mike volunteers as the wrestling coach for the local high school team. You could not call this a passion. It is more of a task he has stubbornly set himself. Perhaps, years ago and in another body, he was a high school wrestler. He shares his office with an accountant named Stephen (Jeffrey Tambor), who is now also the assistant wrestling coach. It's a good thing the team usually loses, because you cannot easily imagine Tambor smiling. Relieved satisfaction is about the limit of his capacity for elation. Joining them in a coaching triumvirate is Mike's best friend, Terry (Bobby Cannavale).
Mike has a client named Leo Poplar (Burt Young; remember him as Rocky's brother-in-law?). Leo is moving into Alzheimer's, and refuses to leave his home of many years. When Mike discovers in court that Leo's estate will pay $1,500 a month to a legal guardian, he takes the job himself and immediately double-crosses his client by placing him in a nursing home. This is immoral and dishonest, but Leo will indeed probably be better off there, and Mike needs the money.
All of these scenes remind me of the detail and human qualities of McCarthy's two previous films, which involved sharply defined personalities in situations where their lives were interrupted by strangers. In "The Station Agent" (2003), a movie I would happily stop everything to watch again right now, Peter Dinklage played a dwarf obsessed with trains, who found his privacy invaded by a lonely woman (Patricia Clarkson) and a strange hot dog stand owner (Bobby Cannavale). In "The Visitor" (2007), Richard Jenkins played a withdrawn widower who finds a family of African immigrants has moved into his apartment.
Yes, those are technically sitcom situations. But both are more, and much deeper, than just comedies. He pushes that extra distance to find how his complex, plausible characters might respond. "Win Win" shows similar qualities, but takes fewer chances and falls back on the ever-reliable Big Game/Match/Fight formula in its third act.
A character materializes well into the film. Kyle (Alex Shaffer) is old Leo's grandson, who has run away from home and hopes to live with the old man, but ends up living with Mike and Jackie. Mike finds no relatives for Kyle, except for a druggie mother in rehab. Wouldn't you somehow know the kid is a champion wrestler? This is where the sitcom stuff clicks in. "Win Win" gathers all the strands (the illegal trusteeship, the wrestling team, the hazardous boiler, the wrestling, the rehabbing mother, Jackie finding out about her husband's misdeeds) and pays them off at the end.
Well, OK. It's too neat. Everything clicks into place. Life seldom has uncomplicated endings. But let it be said that Alex Shaffer, who was cast more for his wrestling than his acting, is effortlessly convincing. That Giamatti and Tambor are funny when they try to out-dour each other. That Amy Ryan does what she can with the loyal-wife-who's-had-enough role. That the ending has simple pleasures, although not those promised by the beginning or by McCarthy's earlier films. I'm happy I saw "Win Win." It would have been possible to be happier.

Kelly Clarkson Addresses Misquote and Anorexia Rumors
Kelly Clarkson has been pretty forthcoming for a celebrity, but when she was recently misquoted and reportedly said she battled anorexia, she made sure to set the record straight.
Kelly Clarkson has been pretty forthcoming for a celebrity, but when she was recently misquoted and reportedly said she battled anorexia, she made sure to set the record straight.
- Kelly Clarkson and Psy have been added to the stellar 2012 American Music Awards performance lineup. Also newly slated to hit the stage are Carly Rae Jepsen, the Wanted, Swizz Beatz, Chris Brown and Ludacris. Sounds like a party to us!
- Azealia Banks gets
Of course we're only on the first chapter of Kelly Clarkson's greatest hits. The original 'American Idol' has merely scratched the surface of her hit potential and we expect that Chapter Two and Chapter Three will be in her future.
Kelly Clarkson recently announced that she'll be releasing a greatest hits album along with a new single, 'Catch My Breath.' Well, she must've read our awesome review of the song, because she performed it for the first time on stage in Dublin!
Ten years into a superstar career that was launched when she became the first winner of 'American Idol,' Kelly Clarkson is issuing her first hits collection, 'Greatest Hits – Chapter 1,' which features three new songs, including an autobiographical single called 'Catch My Breath.'
Kelly Clarkson and Adele have two of the best voices in music today (and possibly ever). So when Kel covered 'Dele live, two things could have happened: Either it would be amazing or the universe would implode. Thankfully, this resulted in the former.
We feel like it's been forever since an edition of the always exciting 'Kelly Covers...' fell into our laps. But then we realized the other day Kelly Clarkson covered Lady Gaga, and oh, would you look at that? Now she's covering Rihanna! Ugh, we love Kelly so much!
We at PopCrush present to you another exciting edition of Kelly Clarkson's 'Kelly Covers…' ! Girl, for real, we can barely keep up. As usual, Clarkson's covers are frickin' phenomenal. Is there anything this girl can't sing?
Kelly Clarkson covers the August issue of Lucky, showing off that svelte, hard-earned new figure in skintight jeans and a cropped red blazer, which she paired with her usual light brown hair. Clarkson actually lightened to blonde last month, but she looks gorgeous either way. In this spread, she comes off as a normal gal and that's just how she prefers it. She's Kelly Clarkson: Anti-Pop Star.
Kelly Clarkson recently lost weight and went blonde. Some speculated that it was to look even hotter than normal on 'Duets,' but some are whispering that the 'Dark Side' singer's slim down is in preparation for something else: a wedding!
The darling Kelly Clarkson has a boyfriend and her new relationship status helped her slim down with a 30-pound weight loss. She's been gushing about him in the press, too, arousing our curiosity about the lucky man. Fans can get a look at handsome, bearded devil who put the smile on Clarkson's adorable face, as the happy couple have made their public debut.
Much is being made about Kelly Clarkson's trim and toned figure, which she has been showing off lately.
The 'Stronger' signer isn't shy about discussing her new shape, dishing to Us Weekly about dropping 30 pounds in the tab's latest cover story. So, the billion dollar question is: How did she do it?

Best New Tracks
Mr Twin Sister: "In the House of Yes"
Infinite Best / Twin Group
By Philip Sherburne; September 15, 2014
Mr Twin Sister's reinvention continues apace on their new single, "In the House of Yes". The Long Island band's last album, 2011's In Heaven, shuttled between dream-state aesthetics inspired by Sofia Coppola and David Lynch—heck, it even borrowed its title from Eraserhead's theme song—but they still scanned as an indie-pop outfit, distinctly American and distinctly suburban. (Nothing wrong with that; so are Coppola and Lynch, in their own ways.) But somewhere between that album and gaining the prefix in front of their new name, the band formerly known as Twin Sister seems to have ventured abroad in search of a distinctly European kind of sophistication.
Last month, "Blush" channeled Sade via Portishead like some velvety Vogue editorial set on the banks of the Seine, and new single "In the House of Yes" flashes back to the sounds of the French touch at its most opulent. The song's swirling strings and flickering tendrils of guitar specifically invoke Alan Braxe and Ben Diamond's classic remix of Björk's "Alarm Call", while Andrea Estella's rounded vowels and oddly bitten diction even recall the Icelandic singer herself. But the song goes way beyond mere pastiche. The pneumatic pianos and wispy atmospherics also suggest Black Box as remixed by Vladislav Delay; it's slinky, seductive, and somehow timeless. "I'm in the mood/ To let the rhythm push me out of my head," Estella sings, locked in her room with a drink or three inside her—a paean to letting go and cutting loose. It'd be hard to find a sentiment less compatible with Puritans' fear of losing control.
Arca: "Thievery"
By Andrew Gaerig; September 11, 2014
"Breakbeat" is one of those words that often comes prepackaged with a specific adjective: dusty. Whether we're talking about the excavated grooves of early hip hop or the beat science of drum & bass, breakbeats have usually been sourced from vinyl—old funk recordings—and fed through early, bit-gnashing samplers, and so they come with the attendant qualities of grimey old things.
The breakbeat that anchors "Thievery", the first track to emerge from Venezuelan producer Arca's anticipated album Xen, is not dusty. It is slow, heavy chrome, the kind of breakbeat Michael Bay might erect if he needed a backbone for quivering synth knots and alien half-utterances. And that's what's striking about "Thievery": the contrast between its radical sonics and its widescreen ambition. Like an air show, there are uncomfortable bursts of noise, sharp nose-dives, and plenty of space-age technology deployed in the service of generating oohs and aahs. When Arca finishes untangling those glassy synthesizer whorls, the song is carried out by a simple, staccato piano melody. It's a tease of simplicity after minutes of chaos, a nice reminder that Arca's just arranging tones and melodies like everyone else, something that "Thievery"'s explosions can make you forget.

Clark: "Unfurla"
By Patric Fallon; September 11, 2014
How well can you recognize the many faces of Chris Clark? A production talent teeming with skill and ambition, the UK-born artist has donned a number of varying identities since his debut on Warp in 2001. But regardless of which wildly different personality is represented at any given moment in Clark's six-album discography, there is a characteristic throughline that has remained familiar since the beginning. It's in the nimble way he juggles his acrobatic melodies, his insatiability for deeply textured atmospheres, and the solemn emotional heft he packs into his work. Clark's face may often change, but the eyes are always the same.
And yet a track like "Unfurla" is almost unrecognizable. It has the most in common with the dystopian rave of 2008's Turning Dragon, but Clark has cleared away the cobwebs and polished the fixtures here. This is proper dancefloor music—not an unwieldy IDM—with more similarities to the austere techno of Ben Klock than any contemporary Warp artist. "Unfurla" immediately takes command with a determined yet slippery stride, never deterring from its euphorically ascendant course into misty clouds and hypoxic peaks. Maybe we've never really met this iteration of Clark before, but his defining attributes are reliably intact.
Clark: "Unfurla" (via SoundCloud)
Grouper: "Call Across Rooms"
By Sasha Geffen; September 10, 2014
Recorded three years ago in Aljezur, Portugal, during an arts residency, Grouper's new song "Call Across Rooms" reeks of isolation. This time around, Liz Harris doesn't even have her reverb pedals to keep her company; it's just her voice and an upright piano, both recorded onto a portable 4-track through the same microphone. The music probes the edges of the room like sonar as Harris threads piano through her vocal melodies, occasionally emphasizing the end of a phrase with a splashed-in chord.
The song, the first taste from the forthcoming Ruins, may be the clearest we've heard Grouper to date, but it's still hidden behind a few layers of secrecy. Harris sings in a lithe whisper, her lyrics mostly obscured by her piano and its echoes. A few pointed lines come through, like "our love is nothing" followed by "maybe we'll figure it out." Speaking to Vogue, Harris revealed that the song is both "a letter I wrote for someone I loved and could not get along with" and "a letter to myself, as aspiration to love better."
Grouper: "Call Across Rooms" (via SoundCloud)
Vince Staples: "Hands Up"
By Corban Goble; September 9, 2014
"I record when I have something to say," Vince Staples told Pitchfork last month, and with respect to his forthcoming Def Jam debut Hell Can Wait, he's a man of his word. Unlike his last track, "Blue Suede", which dealt abstractly with the unsavory, unexpected realities of street life and its warped priorities—"All I wanted was the Jordans with the blue suede in 'em," Staples repeats on that song—his new one, "Hands Up", addresses a far more fucked up state of a nation. "North Division tryin' to stop my blackness/ I'm watchin' for them badges when out in traffic," he begins, before mentioning by name DeAngelo Lopez and Tyler Woods, two L.A. area men killed by police last year.
But it's the people Staples doesn't mention specifically—Michael Brown, Ezell Ford, Anthony Bruno, Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin—that spring to mind. And "Hands Up" is his prepared statement: "Shoot him first without a warning/ And they expect respect and non-violence/ I refuse the right to be silent." Even with the deafening chaos of the media, a non-ending barrage of opinions ranging from intelligent to soul-crushing and new news spilling in every day that just seems worse and worse, Staples' voice is easy to pick out above the noise.

Their sale is really just starting to sink in for the Buffalo Sabres, and the more it does the better it apparently feels.
Not that anyone has any complaints about former owner Tom Golisano, who sold the team last week to Terry Pegula. The deal still needs approval from the board of governors, which is likely to come by the end of the month and a formality given that Pegula is the prototype owner desired by the NHL.
In other words, he's really rich, a hockey fan and has strong ties to the local community.
|More on Buffalo Sabres
|Related links
Pegula is even a long-time Sabres fan whose wife is from the region. Besides, guys who give alma maters like Penn State University an $88 million gift to fund a state-of-the-art arena and establish an NCAA Division I men's hockey program and a Division I women's program are always welcome into the club.
So there is a sense of excitement, albeit subdued perhaps, among the Sabres these days.
"From what we heard he's a great guy who wants to be involved and a great owner," said forward Jason Pominville. "He wants to win and that's what we're all here for. To bring a championship to Buffalo."
Now no one has ever said out loud that Golisano didn't want to do the same thing. But among disgruntled Buffalo fans and some others, and despite the Sabres generally spending close to the cap during his tenure, there has been a prevailing sense for the last few seasons that maybe the owner didn't want it all that badly.
"I know people are saying that but I think that's wrong," Sabres goalie Ryan Miller said. "Instead of being criticized, you know, he basically bailed out a community."
The billionaire businessman and three-time unsuccessful gubernatorial candidate in New York of course did pretty very well for himself in the process too. Golisano bought the Sabres out of bankruptcy for $92 million and $30 million in forgiven debt in 2003 a few months before the lockout. He sold it to Pegula for $189 million, having increased the franchise value that much in less than a decade by making it competitive and catering well to the local market through ticket pricing.
But along the way, Golisano added a different kind of chapter to his legacy by driving some bottom-line decisions that prematurely closed the window on one of the organization's best chances ever to win a Stanley Cup.
"I don't know," Pominville said. "If you ask me, what stands out is him coming and making this team what it is now, in really good condition financially. It's just too bad we came up short when we had our best chance of winning."
|Lindy Ruff would rather have players concentrate on playing instead of answering questions about ownership. (US Presswire)
Buffalo hasn't come close to being a real contender since.
"Who's to say what would have happened if we had this player or that one didn't get injured, you never know in hockey," Miller said. "We've been close, for sure two of those years, but some teams don't ever get that so you can't really assume something different would have happened."
Miller said what stands out most about Golisano was the former owner's willingness to buy a hockey team that had been run into the ground, had low ticket sales and was in what was considered a small market.
"It was a pretty gutsy move for someone who wasn't a hockey guy," Miller said. "That kind of foresight is amazing but now it's time to move on with a new owner who brings new ideas and energy. But Tom did a great job using the assets and building this team back up to always be competitive."
More so lately. Behind Miller's Vezina Trophy-winning goaltending, the Sabres returned from a two-year playoff absence last spring by winning the Northeast Division before losing in the opening round to Boston. This season, Buffalo has been below the playoff line since the outset and was three games under .500 at New Year's. But the Sabres have been on fire since 2011 began and are now closer to the eighth seed that they have been since October.
It's helped that Miller has overcome an uneven start, the power play unit has come alive and Buffalo's big threats Tomas Vanek, Drew Stafford and Pominville are scoring enough to lessen the impact of Derek Roy's long-term injury, all of which is translating into a hard charge at the playoffs.
And then there is also a new sense of certainty, as coach Lindy Ruff put it, now that all the speculation about the sale of the team has been put to rest.
"It was a little distracting," Ruff said. "I don't think it hurt us on the ice, but there were all the questions and speculation about whether there would be an ownership change and players don't need to be asked about it every day. You'd rather have them focusing on playing.
"But the fact that the agreement was announced created a better atmosphere. You sensed a certain amount of excitement about turning a new page and going in a different direction."
