Cincinnati singer-songwriter Moegly (a.k.a. Nicholas Moeggenberg) is one of those dreamy, skinny, intelligent boys who always go over well with the coffee shop crowd. His debut five-song (well, six with the hidden track) EP, It's Getting Hard to Find Good People, is a smooth, gentle Indie Folk effort that sounds especially good in its jumpier moments.
When Joan Osborne vaulted into the public consciousness with Relish, her 1995 major label debut, she had already established a loyal fan base that was well aware of her estimable Jazz and Soul skills. With Soul Show in 1991 and the Blue Million Miles EP in 1993, Osborne displayed her smoldering vocal chops and her unerring ability to write to her own strengths as well as inhabit another writer's song (her take on Captain Beefheart's "Her Eyes Are a Blue Million Miles" was a marvel). Largely a collaboration with producer Rick Chertoff, Hooters frontmen Eric Bazilian and Rob Hyman and Beefheart guitarist Gary Lucas, Relish rightly pushed Osborne into Rock/Pop territory and the well-deserved spotlight, but it was only marginally indicative of her loves and influences.
For the past decade and a half, Osborne has made no secret of her musical passions as she's fleshed out her catalog with a string of soulful original albums, covers albums (2002's How Sweet It Is) and blends of the two (2007's excellent Breakfast in Bed).
With her latest, Bring It On Home, Osborne heads directly into the Blues/R&B camp with predictably great results, from the opening swing of Ray Charles' version of "I Don't Need No Doctor" and a blistering spin through "Roll Like a Big Wheel" from obscure Blues shaker Olive Brown to a down and dirty take on James Moore's iconic "Shake Your Hips" (nailed by the Stones on Exile on Main Street) and a shivering R&B tailfeather shake of Clarence Carter's "I'm Qualified."
As usual, Osborne's gift in covering other songwriters' works lies in her innate talent in melding the spirit and intent of the original song with her own singular approach to come up with a version that is both tribute and appropriate reinvention, and Bring It On Home finds Osborne at the peak of her abilities.
Bogart's was filled with love Saturday night. It ran up the wood paneled walls and across the ceiling before raining back down onto the crowd, again. It was a mutual adoration, too. Seeing City and Colour live is far better than listening to them in the privacy of your own home. They put on an awesome show. Cincinnati was just as thankful to stand witness to their energy, as the band was to play to a sold-out house of loving fans. Two events during the night made the band's love for their fans shine through the speakers most.
In the late '70s, Punk Rock and New Wave were blossoming in New York City. But those genre tags were just a convenient labeling device, a catch-all that didn't take into consideration all of the varied influences artists were bringing with them under that umbrella of Punk or New Wave. Bands would drag things like Rockabilly or Disco into their audio realm and craft their own new sound out of it, with barely any fans blinking an eye, let alone screaming, "That's not Punk!"
Cincinnati trio Animal Circles bring that sort of kitchen-sink approach into their compositions, craftily blending together Surf Rock, Punk, Roots/Folk/Country sounds, Rockabilly and other styles into their own distinctive sonic smoothie. With the access people have to every type of music these days, it's a wonder why every band doesn't have Animal Circles' sense of eclectic wonderment.
The band celebrates the release of its debut album, Eva Lee, Saturday at Northside Tavern. The free show also features Bloomington, Ind., rockers Thee Open Sex and local Black Sabbath tribute, Druid Piss.
Animal Circles' variety and sense of dynamics make Eva Lee a thoroughly entertaining from start to finish. From the full-throttle burner "Brooks and Then Done," with its speeding-out-of-control-train shuffle and rumbling Surf guitar licks (a consistent on the record) to the anxious, Jack-White-goes-to-the-beach vibe of "Squid Attack" to the vintage Country-flavored rocker "Southern Bell," the band keeps your interest, not just with its unique ingredients, but also its strong sense of songwriting and melody.
The "Surfin' Space Cowboy" approach has the potential to get old fast, so it's to AC's great credit that Eva Lee is such a consistently compelling listen. This is no novelty act.
Here is the Eva Lee track "Life on the Bonzai Pipeline."

Oh, Cincinnatians! Wednesday night, when you filed into the Ballroom at the Taft (Theatre), loudly and drunkenly declaring your love for Dawes, I knew I'd never been more proud of you in all my life. (Except you, Guy Who Tried to Vomit Back into His Beer Can like a sorority girl MacGyver. Know your limits, dude.) You filled the basement with your singing and your cheers and, whether you saw it or not, left four California boys looking pretty giddy in your presence. While I still think some of you have some fairly bad taste in music, I now officially consider everyone in the room on Wednesday to be the new loves of my life.
That includes Dawes and Sara (and Sean) Watkins, too. They deserved every ounce of love that you gave them. This was not a massive and disconnected arena show; this was just some gig in Will Taft's basement. But Dawes rocked out in a very big way. For every beer-induced bellow you made, a little more of the musicians' hearts seemed to shine through. There was no phoning it in, no signs of fatigue after a long year of touring (for Dawes) and no amateur hour when Sara Watkins started off the night.
The only downfall was knowing that it would end and that, as good as Dawes' albums are, they would forever pale in comparison to their live show. It was that good. It was the kind of concert where you walk out knowing you will never miss another one of their concerts. The kind of night that leads to going home and staring at their tour schedule and your bank account, trying to decide if you can make it to another show on this round of touring. They're the kind of band that flings out so much energy in their set that, come 4 a.m., you're still lying in bed, wide awake and humming "Fire Away."
In other words: Holy Shit. Dawes is amazing.
Which is surprising, honestly, since at first glimpse, no one in Dawes looks like a Rock star. Lead singer and guitar player, Taylor Goldsmith, with messy brown hair and just slightly too short pants, looks more like a philosophy professor straight out of the '70s. You know — the one who gets all the girls and invites the best students back to his apartment to get high. His brother, Griffin, has a massive mane of blonde curls and a face like every other one of your little brother's friends. But he attacks the drums, has an awesome voice and great facial expressions.
Behind the crazy organ/piano set up is Tay Strathairn, working like a mad scientist and bouncing from one machine to the other. Meanwhile, Dawes' bassist, Wylie Gelber, comes complete with that trademark bass player "chill"-ness. He's cool.
Basically, they're just your average guys. They'd fit in just as easily in Cincinnati as they do in Los Angeles.
On stage, though, they are far from average. They are amazing. They can turn a basement into a ballroom and a gig into a "show."
Vintage Rock hasn't sounded so good since it was just Rock.
In total, the guys played over a dozen songs. Included on the set-list were their more popular hits, like "When My Times Comes" and "Time Spent in Los Angeles." They also played a few new (and oh-so-awesome) songs that may or may not make it onto their new album.
I could gush for another 600 words, but instead I'll end with this: Go see Dawes. Get in your car right now and drive to whatever city they're playing next. Squeeze in close and wait to be awed. Wait for that moment, a couple songs in, when your cheeks hurt because you can't stop smiling. Wait until Taylor Goldsmith dedicates "When My Time Comes" to the "first-timers" and then scream along.
Go see Dawes and fall in love with good music.
Saturday, Apr 28: Jubal's Kin Festival Grounds
Saturday at MerleFest broke hard and cold. Our camping neighbors had an impromptu jam session at 3 a.m., which is to be expected when camping at a music festival geared towards people who not only love to watch and listen, but also play. It would have been one thing to hear the soft strains of a string jam or the gentle harmony of "Wildwood Flower," but some dude shouting the lyrics to "Whipping Post" over badly tuned guitars played really hard … not the thing mountain dreams are made from.
So I sat, at sun up, reading and drinking coffee, plotting revenge and the instead of taking my revenge, made the accused coffee, read some more and generally moved real slow. Crustymarhsmellowman. I did get to play a couple tunes with Pete McWhirter as he moved past to grab some coffee on his way to open his booth.
Then I moved real slow some more.
Really real slow.
After lunch, I decided to make an attempt to see some music.
I had already missed Jim Lauderdale at the Creekside Stage. To bad, I like some Jim Lauderdale and it would have been a nice wake up, but there you are. I saw on the schedule Jubal's Kin at the Dance Tent, looked at the clock and … damn missed that, too. But what ho! There they are on the schedule at the Americana Tent immediately following their Dance Tent set. It's a MerleFest miracle! I grabbed my camera and another cup of coffee and headed out.
Jubal's Kin, all nerves and bad house sound on Day 1, was all smooth and in good voice on Day 3. They filed the promise I thought I saw at the Cabin Stage on what always seems like an eternity ago and delivered a set full of vigor, with pristine sound delivered by the sound person. Their originals are fresh with sparse instrumentation and the kind of tight harmonies that only siblings can deliver. Never lyrically embarrassing with overplayed earnestness or too casual observation, they meld in with beautifully arranged and originally considered traditional tunes. There's "The Cuckoo," that ancient English broadside, rendered as if Billie Holiday had spent some time in the Eastern Kentucky mountains. "Buffalo Gal" was reconsidered as a pop tune with a well delivered encouragement to jump in on the chorus and sing along. Gaelanne's fiddle playing is absolutely gorgeous in a John Hartford/Matt Comb's kind of way, though leaning a bit heavier on the front of the beat as opposed to sitting in the pocket. And her banjo playing is just delicious. They added one more member for this set — "Uncle Joe" on pedal steel and fiddle. With "Baby Brother" on bass, Jubal's Kin appears to be a family band.
Satisfied my instincts were intact, I left the Americana Stage to catch some other music. I wondered into the Traditional Tent to catch some of mountain legend Red June. He was explaining to the audience what a jam session was. Have I mentioned the Traditional Tent smells like a barn? I don't think it's intentional, but the wet grass combined with an enclosed space has rendered an unfavorable impression. After the lesson on what a "jam" is, Red invited a local banjo player up to do a fiddle tune with the fiddle player who didn't bring a fiddle, but did bring a mandolin. Not to fear! You can play fiddle tunes on mandolin (or piano for that matter), so he requested the newest banjo player and the fiddle player with the mandolin decide on a tune they both knew and then play it. Five minutes of discussion and tuning followed. As I headed out of the tent I thought "Just like a jam session," and went down to the Creekside Cabin to catch the rest of the Snyder Family Band and the following act, Sierra Hull and Highway 111.
The Snyder Family Band is a family Bluegrass band (no irony at MerleFest!). Like all Bluegrass bands they have a banjo, sing harmonies and play Bluegrass. Of course they play it really well. People love them. Standing ovation.
I waited around for Sierra Hull and Highway 111 to take the stage. Sierra Hull, 5-foot-nothing and former wiz kid master of the mandolin is now a promising songwriter and ingenue. I'm familiar with this script and am bored not two minutes into the first song. Sigh. I stop in the field in front of the Watson Stage to hear some of "Assembly of Dust." Young Nashville Country script. Know it. Boring. Moving on.
It's coming up on 3 p.m. and time to give my sister a break in her booth in the Heritage Tent. Nancy Roberson is a weaver based out of Knoxville, Tenn. She's been showing, selling and demonstrating at MerleFest for about as long as there has been a MerleFest. She heads out for her afternoon nap (apparently a hardwired Roberson DNA trait) and I pleasantly meet the mass of retail customers streaming by and wondering into her booth.
Nancy makes shawls. Well kind of. Not only does she design each warp for the loom, but on these particular pieces of clothing, she has design the shawl itself. It's twisted, sewn up the back, and pulled over your head like a loose fitting sweater. The front gathers in soft bunches and hangs across the chest. The ladies love them. Woven of soft cotton and rayon with the occasional silk woven in for effect, the main color of each shawl is broken up with a rhythm of competing and sometimes complimentary colors. People can't help but be drawn in by the colors and when the reach out and touch them, you always get an "Oooooo, these feel so nice and are so beautiful." If you don't, it's a replicant — ready your phasers.
When Nancy returned, I checked the schedule and cheese whiz on a cracker if Jubal's Kin wasn't playing in the barn-like Traditional Tent. Finally a chance to catch this band in more intimate surroundings, smell be damned. I headed over, got there early and claimed a seat near the front. In short order the band was on stage, laughing and calling out songs. They moved though a load of traditional tunes, all rendered in a sweet, imaginative way, like "Dinah Blow Your Horn," with added lyrics and a new verse melody. The Carter Family's "No Depression" was delivered in soul rendering pain. About midway through the set, a guitar string broke enabling some spontaneous double fiddle and dancing. While the guitar player stepped off stage, "Uncle Joe" and Gaelanne tuned their fiddles and discussed which tune to play. In a matter of thirty seconds (this is no a jam session) launched into a Skillet Lickers number my dad probably danced to when he was their age. A friend jumped up on stage and launched into some spirited clogging. Not to be undone, "Baby Brother" put his bass down, peeled off his shoes and joined the Appalachian chorus line at the end of the stage with some well executed Buck Dancing.
Yes sir, these kids from Florida are the real shit. I've spent decades in front of poseurs, wannabees, shitty players and hopefuls. Using a foundation of traditional music obviously passed along from a family that loves this stuff at an early age, Jubal's Kin are making something very real, unique and personal that compels you to be a part.
This is why I come to MerleFest. Thanks, guys, for inviting me in.
Exhausted from a night of no sleep and a day of wandering and finding Jubal's Kin, I headed back to my book and coffee and called it a day.
"I'm getting too old for this shit."
The phrase was a mantra as I entered the Pitchfork Music Festival 2011, the three-day-long music festival sponsored by the taste-making music website which blasted into Chicago's Union Park from July 15-17. The thought of crowds thousands deep filled with folks almost 20 years my junior, sweltering heat forecast for the weekend and three stages filled with many bands that I had never heard before transformed this generally laid-back, open-minded reporter into a crotchety curmudgeon.
The Comet was packed Tuesday night in anticipation of seeing Nashville band The Black Belles and the Belles didn't disappoint.
These women sure have created an identity for themselves. At any point, you could spot them somewhere in The Comet; they were hard to miss with their long black hair, black clothes, black hats, pale skin and dark makeup. And the shtick of it all doesn't seem forced for The Black Belles. Members of Jack White's label, Third Man Records, the Black Belles opened their set with "Leave You With A Letter," the opener from their debut self-titled album.
Although the band is normally a four-piece, they are touring as a three-piece, leaving the organist back home in Nashville. Between bassist Ruby Rogers' deadpan dead-on bass riffs and Shelby Lynne's solid drumming, there's room for lead singer/lead guitarist Olivia Jean to do as she pleases. Her voice comes off as somewhat of a growl, so perfect for their dark and witchy lyrics. And there was something about the drummer similar to Meg White, with her black hair flowing as she beat the crap out of her set.
The Black Belles seem to be somewhat of a cross between The Cramps and Wanda Jackson, with the occasional Jack White riff thrown in the mix. Olivia Jean announced that they would play "their only Country song" as they launched into "Honky Tonk Horror," which was not really anything close to a Country song and probably the heaviest Rock song they played. Other numbers included "In a Cage," "Howl At The Moon," "What Can I Do?," "Lies," "Wishing Well," and "The Wrong Door."
The only problem with their set was that The Comet didn't move the tables out of the way so it was an extremely awkward crowd to stand in and actually be able to see the band. This resulted in people standing on chairs to get a better glimpse of the dark beauties.
When I asked the band what they'd be doing after the show, they smiled and said they would be using a Ouija Board at the Masonic Temple at which they were staying. If you missed out on seeing the Black Belles, they'll be back in Cincinnati as one of the headliners for Midpoint Music Festival this September!
Is it merely coincidence that I revisited Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music in the same week that the latest missive from Another Cultural Landslide wound up in that same CD drawer? Probably. Is it happenstance that ACL's new soundtrack for the imminent end of the world, Last Days Last Days, is coming out at a moment in human history where everything on the planet seems to be going to shit on a shovel? I wouldn't rush to that particular judgment, but there's a certain logic to the conclusion.
To be clear, there's no direct correlation between Reed's masterful mindfuck and ACL's post-Pop apocalyptic song quilt beyond a sense of unsettled exhilaration that accompanies both albums. That and the fact that both artists pre-supposed their respective works would be considered "difficult" listening experiences. The difference is in their messages? Reed was screaming "Fuck you," while ACL is calmly noting "We don't have to fuck you, you're fucked already."
Is Last Days Last Days a millennial Rock opera by Christians with a bruised faith or agnostics who have found God in the foxhole? Maybe both, maybe neither. The important thing to remember is that ACL wants you to do something productive with your free floating anxiety over the state of the world. At the same time, Last Days Last Days doesn't offer any definitive answers in that regard, it simply insists that you ask better questions. Kirk and Wendy, the brain trust behind ACL, adhere to a simple rule in the making of their music; no two songs alike. While that could result in a checkered and incoherent album in the wrong hands, ACL's laser focus on theme assures a consistent and satisfying whole.
The album begins with "Looking for Answers," its ostensible title cut, a pacesetting track that bristles with Talking Heads/Television verve and Pop/Funk bounce, not to mention a sprinkling of Tusk-like bombast and Zappaesque tomfoolery. It's very nearly a straight-ahead Rock anthem, except for the subversively swaying tempo that purposefully wobbles your gyroscope in order to maintain your attention and guide you to the song's ultimate message, contained in this lyric toward the end: "So if you want to get through tomorrow, you'd better stand up and get through today, we're just saying we're looking for answers, we don't want to give our future away."
From there, ACL tosses convention into their home recording Mixmaster and creates a chunky musical salsa that includes the operatic Disco of "Old" ("Giving up at age 32, I know 90-year-olds that are younger than you"), the stuttering Sesame Street-on-acid lesson plan of "Everybody's Got a Brain," the Laurie Anderson-on-Quaaludes cautionary tale of "Standing Nail," the tribal lounge Pop of "Next," which mixes romantic end-of-the-world lyrical cliches (sun don't rise, moon don't shine, rivers don't run) with real consequences ("Won't be dancing in the streets no more, close your blinds and you lock your door, just lay down and die, kiss your ass goodbye") and the Calypso-fired undead-limbo Rock of "A Meditation on the Impending Zombie Apocalypse," with its irresistible lyrical hook ("Drop the bomb and then we can dance"), and the evolutionary heartland Power Pop of "Monkey."
Is Last Days Last Days a perfect musical statement? Far from it. Kirk and Wendy are home recordists not music professionals. The Cincinnati expatriates crank out their amazingly fulsome productions in a spare bedroom in their Florida apartment, their composing and performing pursuits crowbarred into their busy schedules that include the day jobs, family lives and health issues that dog us all. Like all the best music, ACL's intention with Last Days Last Days overcomes the blemishes of its creation and appreciation of it as a whole will grow with every successive listen. On top of that, the duo have always given and will continue to give their music away; if you want to hear the fruits of their many labors, click here.
There is plenty of heart and head in the pure music and sonic ephemera on Last Days Last Days, but like Harry Nilsson's Oblio, the instant you perceive ACL has a point, as in the heart-rending hymnal of "Not Enough Bullets," it seemingly dissipates in a crash of guitar chords, a chorus of quacking ducks or an army of brain-starved zombies. Last Days Last Days is the sound of outsider music being made from the inside, of Art Pop being crafted with a keen sense of both art and Pop. Kirk and Wendy have collaborated on nearly a dozen albums and EPs under the banner of Another Cultural Landslide, but we can only hope that Last Days Last Days doesn't fulfill the prophecy of its title.

About Alison Burnside
We are a family of 5 who enjoy Nantucket more than anywhere in the world! 'Tuckety' is our home away from home, we hope that you enjoy it as much as we do.
Alison Burnside purchased this house in 2011
Why Alison Burnside chose Nantucket Town
We first visited Nantucket in 2010 after becoming exhausted by long haul travel and endless delays at airports. We are originally from the UK and have traveled to many places. Upon arriving on island I immediately fell in love and fortunately as time ensued so did my husband. We spent 11 months searching for the right property and feel that our quest really paid off. We love our house and have really made it our home away from home.
What makes this house unique
The location of the property is perfect. We really are only an 8 minute stroll to town (even with 3 children) - no hills. The duck pond is only one street away, where the children like to frequent. The town beach, flats and harbor are also a very short stroll where you can wander, take a picnic or rent kayaks/paddleboards.

How a Single Tweet Launched A Cloud for Climbing

Oh, gracious. These days, hard rock is a most denigrated genre of music, is it not? With all those Mudvaynes and Slipknots besmirching the landscape, how can any self-respecting individual bang his head without feeling a wee bit peevish? Luckily, the clouds occasionally part for such honorable acts as Monday's performers. To be sure, Trent Reznor and Joshua Homme have made sterner works than their most recent efforts -- With Teeth and Lullabies to Paralyze, respectively -- but at least they can hold their heads high in the knowledge that they formulate superior big-riff metal to what is usually visited upon the lamentable mallrats of America. Nevertheless, while both auteurs are renowned for their exemplary live shows, one cannot wholly dismiss a troubling dread that, alas, these two rock institutions may be reaching their zenith. Regrettable, dear chums -- and even more reason to pay them homage while they remain in our midst.

- Favorite restaurant in CharlotteOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/22/2014Food is always superb and there is a great selection. I'd highly recommend it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great resturant, odd menu.MikeyVIPDined on 11/22/2014All of the food we ordered was well prepared with excellent flavors. We found it difficult to put togeather the meal from the ala carte menu. Many items on the menu were simple but verry well prepared. Frequent visitors would get used to the menu and have no problem.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday Dinner with KidsFamilyofFourDined on 11/22/2014My husband and I took our two kids (8 and 11) to Rooster's to celebrate my birthday. The kids were pleased with their meals (cheese pizza and chicken strips) as much as we did ours (scallops and hangar steak). Our waiter was fantastic, and we even got a celebratory piece of cheesecake/brownie as a birthday gift from the restaurant. The scallops were great and the roasted beets just melted in my mouth.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another great experience!JasonVIPDined on 11/20/2014My wife and two friends had a great lunch! Everyone's food was fantastic and the service was wonderfull. The staff is consistently on their game!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great service, great food, and just a great vibe.Prelldarunner1914Dined on 11/17/2014The service was wonderful, the people were respectful, and they made sure we had everything that we needed. They did not attempt to force a type of food or drink on us, but they were honest about what was really good to try. They even gave me and my wife a free dessert for our anniversary as well. This place will be a place that my wife and I will return back to in the very near future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- second chanceCmattDined on 11/15/2014have never been a big fan of Roosters, though my spouse is. went there for a special occasion and enjoyed my visit. my main objection in the past has been very small portions at very high prices. either they've increased the portion sizes to moderate in size or my appetite has decreased. in any event the food was very good. the mussels were very tasty and tender but i would recommend they decrease the amount of salt. i also had chicken liver mousse, which was a bit disappointing. kind of bland. K had trout and that was also very good. we split some frites, the portion was very large and they tasted great. we were treated to a piece of coconut cake, which was very moist and tasty. the service was very attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice eveninghappyVIPDined on 11/15/2014We had a very nice evening out with friends, good food, good wine and good service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Vegetables galore, great winedwillDined on 11/15/2014For me the highlight was the large variety of vegetables, beautifully prepared - not cooked to death. The entree options were terrific, for sure, but the veggies really set Rooster's apart from other restaurants. Also, my wife ordered a Cab/Merlot blend that she said was one of the best glasses she has ever had. We'll be back often.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious!KeywestguyDined on 11/10/2014What a welcome change when traveling to find a place like this. The food was outstanding and so was the service. Southern dishes done right.Special Features:
- RoostersJmusigepDined on 11/10/2014I have used Roosters for both business meetings and pleasure. The service is always terrific. People are so friendly and strive to make our experience special. The menu is appealing and the specials always interesting. Prices are reasonable for the general area. I will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Date Night with HubbyBHFoodieDined on 11/7/2014My husband and I are never disappointed when we dine at Roosters. It is one of our favorite places to eat. The staff is always fantastic and the food is always fabulous. I had the speckled trout and the beet salad..OMGosh!! YUM! My husband had his oysters. He normally gets the mussels but this time he ventured out and they were WONDERFUL! This place is always a hit with us!Special Features:
- Dining in November at RoostersMrsMDined on 11/7/2014Everything great. Delicious dinner food, good service and dessert. Roosters on the wall were well done, kitschy and cool!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 11/1/2014The stuffed roosters on the wall were a little creepy, so we quickly ordered the mushroom pizza appetizer to share - excellent - took my focus off the roosters. The burger was delicious, my new fave in Charlotte. But the roasted chicken fell flat - just very bland. For all the chickens they have roasting, thought it should be their feature, but would never order it again. I like this place though...will give them another chance.Special Features:
- Amazing place! Great food!!PamsfoodiereviewDined on 10/31/2014Great food, great atmosphere! Love this place for their amazing spin on country favorites!!! Try their fried oysters and chicken livers!! Crave til next time!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- JevousaimeDined on 10/23/2014Great ambiance. I went there for lunch with a special friend visiting from out of town. Wanted a menu that had something for everyone, so that conversation was the focus. On-line reservation system was great. Server was attentive, but when we hadn't glanced at the menu for 20 minutes, server took the cue, and let us have a leisurely lunch. Roosters was perfect!! Thanks.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- GOOD foodPickyEaterDined on 10/14/2014All of our dishes were tender, flavorful, cooked perfectly and very enjoyable. The presentation was very nice and artful, but unlike many other places that have artistic presentation, these portions were filling. Some of the sides might be considered basic, but they were well executed, not excessively rich and complimented the main dishes well. The beets side dish was marvelous.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/7/2014Good food, good service. I would recommend this to anyone. We went for our anniversary, but you could go with a group of friends and just order apps for the table and be happy.Special Features:

- Still terrificRantanDined on 10/3/2014Absolutely one of my favorite restaurants. On this, our second visit, we unfortunately booked the same evening as a very large and slightly noisy group party of some sort. Restaurants need to be able to accomodate groups, but the single large room layout of Roosters means that all of the customers share the same ambience. The food is magnificent and the service is attentive. Highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- HungryBearsVIPDined on 9/22/2014Ate outside - lovely day but outside means you're siting (basically) in the parking lot. Food was good, service was abrupt and strange. Would go back, nice large menu to explore.I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedFoodie40VIPDined on 9/19/2014I normally do not write bad reviews but... I went to dinner Friday night with 2 friends and our waiter was horrible. He acted like he didn't care. Messed up drinks twice, dropped off wrong check , forgot to take off tacos we sent back. Just bad attitude. Food was just not up to usual standards. Used to love coming here and always thought food and service was consistent but I'm pretty much done.Special Features:

- Bistro Meets Southern842festDined on 9/16/2014We have been here several times & thoroughly enjoy the bistro-style atmosphere, terrific food, friendly & timely service and a wine list that is one of Charlotte's best for great value-perfectly matched to the roasted menu offerings. Lots of small plate items offered here so you can put your own meal together. Much of the food is locally grown with many of the meats fire/oven roasted. The charcuterie meats are made on-premise. The full bar has a list of specialty drinks, several locally brewed beers on the list, and an extensive wine list . Hilights at our table included Seared Sea Scallops, Pork Shoulder BBQ, Boneless Beef Short Ribs, roasted Potato Gnocci (very yummy), and a House Cured Duck .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistent and good!aliceNchainsDined on 9/6/2014Like Rooster's a lot. Good food! You can try many different items on a single visit. Good price point and a comfortable atmosphere.

DENVER (AP) - Gov. John Hickenlooper is unveiling a new computer system that the state hopes will reduce wait times for driver's licenses.
The program launched Thursday is called the Wait Less project. It lets people schedule appointments online before they go to a driver's license office.
Nearly one million Colorado residents visit state license offices to get a Colorado driver's license or state-issued identification card each year.
It's available only in Littleton now, but soon Colorado Springs offices of the DMV will be included. Click here to sign up.

If you missed it, dont worry were told that food vendors will have a stronger presence this year, at least on Saturdays when organizer Jenny Gottstein tells us theyre making more of an effort to pair vendors like Hallo Berlin, Pizzamoto, Van Leeuwen, and the Dessert Truck with D.J.'s on a quasi in-house basis.
In addition to Margarita Hernandezs huaraches at the 6 p.m. till 2 a.m. Friday night beer garden and the Sunday Best parties, Saturdays will bring guest food purveyors such as Northern Spy Co. (June 12), Dantes Fried Chicken (June 26), Sam Mason (July 10), and Red Hook Lobster Pound (June 19 and July 17). Stay posted at BKLYN Yard.

Sowing Seeds of Peace
Go to the Nigeria crisis page for the latest information.
Ekklesiyar Yan'uwa a Nigeria (EYN), the Church of the Brethren in Nigeria, is the largest national body of Church of the Brethren in the world, with nearly a million people attending services. The energy and vitality of the membership has resulted in active evangelism and church planting efforts within Nigeria and recently to neighboring countries.
A key body within the life of the Nigerian church has been the ZME, or Women's Fellowship. Most married women become members, and its active programs and presence are seen by many as "the backbone of the church." ZME choirs are highly visible in congregations and are a central part of worship. Youth programs and numerous other ministries are also active in EYN.
To support the leadership needs of a growing church, pastoral training has been a continuing challenge, as 10-15 new congregations are formed annually. Invitations to the US church to send teachers for key assignments become areas for meaningful partnering in ministry:
- Kulp Bible College (KBC), near Mubi, the major training institution for Nigerian church leadership;
- The church-sponsored Comprehensive Secondary School, based on the west end of the KBC and EYN headquarters property; and
- Hillcrest School in Jos, a K-12 school started by the Church of the Brethren and now run by a consortium of missions, providing American-style education for the children of mission workers throughout West Africa and others seeking this educational preparation.
Additionally, leadership development grants from Global Mission Partnerships support over 200 people annually as they prepare for pastoral ministry, graduating 60-70 persons each year for service in the church. The Theological Education by Extension (TEE) program trains over 1,500 people annually in basic Christian education, and results in a more biblically grounded laity as well as prompting some graduates to consider pastoral ministry.
Active programs of wells, health care, and schools— which were central mission ventures since the beginning of mission work in Nigeria in 1923— have been handed over to the Nigerian church for direction and implementation. The Mason Technical School joined with a number of these ministries as the church adapted an integrated community development approach. These church outreach ministries continue to assist communities in some of the more isolated areas of northeast Nigeria.
An annual workcamp builds strong relationships between the Nigerian and US churches. The church in the US also provides staff and financial support through the Core Ministries Fund.

Szechuan Gourmet/Flushing vs. Hunan Kitchen Grand Sichuan/Flushing
Looking for input, comments, suggestions on dishes on a dinner for about 10 people at either the Szechuan Gourmet in Flushing or the Hunan Kitchen Grand Sichuan in Flushing. Diners are very knowlegeable about sichuan cuisine.
Which one would you choose?
Thanks for any help
re: Bob Martinez
I've been to Spicy and Tasty and Little Pepper many times and love both of them. However, I was very impressed at the Hunan Kitchen a few months back and have wanted to get a group there but chinese friends are also high on the Szechuan Gourmet in Flushing where I have not been.
re: IPcook
Yea, I would go with Spicy and Tasty.. just had dinner there Sun. eve, and it was fab as always. Be aware however that they do not take credit cards....
re: Bob Martinez
Hunan Kichen has excellent food, some of the better decor to be found in Flushing, they take reservations, and they take cards. There's a NY Times review if you want some dish suggestions.
These two are not directly comparable as they offer different cuisines: HKGS has a wide variety of Hunan dishes, while SG is a more mainstream, solid, if somewhat boring, Sichuan restaurant.
An alternative to HKGS would be Hunan House, or maybe Spicy and Tasty.
You have a lot of choice wrt Sichuan food in Flushing:
- Szechuan Gourmet (Duo Yi) for competent Sichuan cooking, especially for their whole fish;
- Spicy and Tasty (Shan Fang) for excellent cold dishes/appetizers and a wide variety of regional Chinese food in addition to solid Sichuan offerings;
- Cheng Du Tian Fu Xiao Chi in The Golden Mal, if you don't mind dining cafeteria-style and don't expect to order live fish from a tank. In fact, this place would be my top choice for a regular (not festive) dinner and not just appetizers. IMHO, they have the best Sichuan chef in Flushing, but if you are planning a serious dinner pay them a visit a day in advance.
re: AubWah
Aub, what specifically do you like at HKGS? I've been pretty disappointed by the few dishes I've tried. And if there is a comparable dish at Little Pepper, how does the HKGS version compare?
re: el jefe
I like the steamed fish with pickled chili. The cumin lamb...I've been impressed by their menu, what did you order that was dissapointing?
re: AubWah
The most disappointing dish was the braised pork that everyone raves about. I was expecting a dish as IPCook described with "custardy" fat, but mine was a dish with chunks of pork so huge I had to ask for a knife. Nor would I describe the layer of fat as custardy. One of the other dishes we ordered was double cooked pork, which was nothing special compared to other places we order it. Since cumin lamb is now ubiquitous in all but Taiwanese and Cantonese restaurants (it's hard to make a bad version and we order it at several other restuarants, which is why I asked for the Little Pepper comparison) we tried the lamb with spicy salt. It was neither spicy enough nor salty enough and wasn't crispy as we thought it might be.
As others have said maybe I didn't order well. Or maybe it was an off day.
re: el jefe
I've tried a large swath of the menu and haven't been disappointed. What didn't you like?
re: el jefe
It was just two of us so we didn't try many dishes but I was very impressed by the Braised Pork Mao style which used pork belly and softened the fat to a beautiful custard consistency. Better than I've ever had this dish.
I noticed many of the fish dishes coming out of the kitchen looked lovely including the fish head dish
re: IPcook
I can also vouch for the integrity of the Braised Mao Pork
re: AubWah
The beef with white peppers is one of the best dishes I've had anywhere, Flushing or beyond.
re: el jefe
It's a cliche to say this, but: I don't think you ordered well. This is easily my favorite restaurant in Flushing.
And I would add that there is little common ground to compare Sichuan Gourmet and Hunan Kitchen -- they really do focus on two different cuisines. But to answer your initial question, I think for a large group, Sichuan Gourmet might be the better of the two (more room), and I might second some other opinions that Spicy & Tasty is even better.
re: BTaylor
If you make a reservation at HK you can get a large table that I'm pretty sure will hold 10.
Hunan Kitchen does not focus on Sichuan dishes. You would be better off going to Spicy Tasty for Szechuan flavors. Hunan Kitchen is however, an excellent restaurant. You should consider Hunan House as well, which is fantastic, seats more people and has received less recognition than HKGS but is equally impressive.
thanks for all the suggestions. We're heading to Hunan Kitchen tonight (wednesday) and will report after the dinner
Well we had a wonderful meal at the Hunan Kitchen. Started with Sliced conch in hot oil and Sauteed spinach with ginger, both of which were freshly prepared and were perfect at getting the mouth watering. Moved to Big fish head with chili, BBQ fish, Sauteed string bean with chicken, lamb with cumin, white pepper smoked beef, spare ribs with bamboo shoot, pea shoots with garlic, Ma Po Tofu and three kinds bamboo shoots. The dishes were served at a reasonable pace and each was just off the wok, i.e. had wok breadth. Perhaps the most interesting dish of the evening in aprt because of its novelty was the white pepper smoked beef , the white pepper of which according to a chat with the chef is imported from fukien province in China. Others thought the two fish dishes were the highlight. Perhaps the only dish below excellent was the Ma Po Tofu , which is better done at little pepper and in my own kitchen.
re: IPcook
I love that smoke beef white pepper dish. It's amazing. Your report and this thread are giving me a hankering to return to Hunan Kitchen - haven't been in a few months.

Hi there,
Can someone clear this up for me, I've been trying to follow a workout routine following the 4 day split that I read about on the site. As ive been doing it for a couple of months I try and roatate the exercises so that I can change things up a bit, so that means every few weeks I exchange a compound for a different compound and Isolation for a different Isolation, I get all the exercises from the exercise database.
Today I was reading this article here http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/jamesk4.htm
and it called Dumbbell Flyes an Isolation exercise, however in the exercise database it is listed as compound. Anyone want to clear this up for me?

Emergency crews were sent to the reservoir at 3:20 p.m., and rescue divers began looking for Laute. Conservation officers, using sonar, found the teenager's body in 9 feet of water at 6:15 p.m.

In a previous post a wavelet-based analysis procedure was described and demonstrated with simulated inverse-power-law data http://chuckrino.com/wordpress/?p=464. The analysis procedure has been applied to a large number of C/NOFS high-resolution equatorial measurements during periods of strong ESF. The data are particularly well suited to wavelet-based analysis because large extent of the data sets (>1000 km) and the structure scale range. The analysis and results are described in a paper accepted for publication in Radio Science. URSIPaper2014.

Jada Pinkett Smith: Nude For Human Trafficking Awarenessby Free Britney at . Comments
Jada Pinkett Smith is speaking out against the horror of human trafficking, a noble cause brought to her attention by none other than her daughter, Willow.
Jada started the organization Don't Sell Bodies after Willow Smith, 11, approached her after watching Kony 2012 and being blown away by its story.
Pinkett Smith thus teamed up with actress Salma Hayek to get the attention of the masses. Hayek directed the video below, in which Jada bares all:
No question Jada Pinkett Smith nude will get people to pay attention to anything. Might as well use it for an important cause. Kudos to her.
Men in Black 3 star Will has been super supportive, she says:
"He's amazing because he wants to lend support in every way. In order to combat this, we need our men. We need our soldiers. Let me tell you, I love girl power, but ain't nothin' like having some muscle behind you! Will's got some big ones!"
Motivating and inspiring, to say the least. Follow the jump for a recent interview Jada did with CNN about the Don't Sell Bodies campaign ...
You white trash fuck. White men been f*@&*#g black women for centuries. Grow up B#$@H. Black women are strong and have survived a history of slavery under a demonic white race. You d*m demon!
I will love to talk to Mrs. Smith about human trafficking in frican (Nigeria). Gladys
I would love to talk to ms. Smith on the trafficking issue. This happened to me when I was 17. And I would like to join your cause. Renee
read or look: there is a video that explains the strategy of how it was filmed. READ, LEARN before you judge.
@all saints what a load of shit. By your account then you are a 40yr old grown man with two children and u troll gossip sites all day leaving comments mostly about race. What kind of loser/weirdo grown man goes on gossip sites all day? U should be on ESPN not tween sites. And being such a bitter person really does show what a shitty life u have even tho u don't want to admit it. It speaks for its self.
Actually, I'm just fed up with the ghetto garbage types, putting down white people. Thats ok, but the reversed isn't? Since, obviously you read things on this site, as I do, check out some GG comment, about Jenny McCarthy. eith rare exceptions, most white woman put black women to shame. That's why so many of the blacks guys, if they make good money, first thing they get is the high end car, and the high end woman. Not the loud, fat, ignorant, baby mamas, they spent time with, before they made it, "Just to get some."
Correction on Walter's Flower's movie-Adie MacDowell actress portraying real life UN security force menber and Gender Advocate-who can't get a job now due to her EXPOSURE of children and young women Trafficed to and by UN Security forces, Politicians and government contracters. Closer to home tre movie-To Young to Die-Juliette Lewis and Brad Pitt from home town. USA Please be responsible and respectful-JPS-when you advocate for Children and Young Women who need a voice that isn't exploiting their bodies. I did not see the tortureous methods used on them in your video
Shes a nasty bi.
If women continue to sexually exploit themselves, then how will we ever convince others not to sexually exploit females? Why not take an intelligent, firm, and educated approach to a very serious situation? Taking your clothes off to get people to "look" is all of the problem in the first place... Celebrities will always live by the motto "sex sells". They will never not.
Shame on here for taking her clothes off. Exploit self to raise support of the exploited seems to be a bit convoluted. Can't take her seriously once she took her clothes off.

We drink a cup of coffee a day each, when we made coffee in our old maker we always seemed to make a full pot and poured out most of it, we just stoped using it all together. With this one cup maker it takes up less room on the counter, is attractive and my wife loves it. The maker can make up to a full 20 oz if wanted or less, thats me, about 12 oz's at a time.
The item is exactly as presented. The Item is easy to use, cleans up easily, and has a very small counter footprint. Coffee perks up quickly and hot. Thermal mug addition was very key for us in buying this. We us it at the office, and it already saving us time and money.
I had been searching for a one serve coffeemaker that did not use coffee pods. Like that I can determine kind and strength of coffee I want.
4.5 out of 5 stars, based on 39 ratings
94% of reviewers recommend this product
89% say this is a "good value"
The streamlined modern design of this coffee maker first caught my eye. It was the perfect gift for my husband's office. It's simple to use and fast, and best of all, the liquid is super-hot, not lukewarm or scalding. The travel mug is lightweight, yet substantial enough to keep its contents fresh for a long time. Would recommend this item over other popular single-serve brands.
We purchased this product 3 months ago and over the Thanksgiving week when we had out of town company staying with us (we showed them how to use this coffeemaker as they are up earlier than we are) and it died. I called Kitchen Aid as it is under warranty. They suggested that I should clean it out once a month by running vinegar through it to keep the water deposits from damaging the machine. That it probably was the cause of the problem. I had done that to no avail. They sent me a replacement which we received last week and we noted that once a month we must run a vinegar rinse through it. The cons are: I don't think the coffee is quite hot enough. I had a hard time hearing the beeper that signals when coffee is done brewing, although the new one is louder. The coffee maker continues to drip a little for a while after coffee is brewed and light goes off so I keep a paper towel on the cup stand. I use a funnel in the opening for pouring in the water as the cup is always dribbling out water down the side. (May be me) We gave one to my son for his birthday before ours stopped working. I hope he has better luck. The pros are: My husband and I drink different brews. Caffeine and half Caff. We can make our coffee stronger as we like and not so strong for company if that is their choice. It is attractive. It is convenient in that you can personalize how many ounces of coffee you want to make for yourself. It is less expensive to make coffee in this vs. the Keurig although we do have a keurig cup. (who wants to clean that? Harder than the Kitchenaid to clean). One reason I purchased this is that it is a Kitchenaid product. They stand behind their guarantees and are very pleasant to deal with. They sent me a new machine and a free shipping label to return the bad one. There was no arguing. I have dealt with them before on a product and it was just as pleasant then.
I was disappointed to find that there was no button to select which size cup is being brewed. There are pictures on the side of the water tank, but because the plastic is dark, it's difficult to see how much water is in it. Whatever you put in, comes out, so it took several tries to figure out how much coffee and water would brew a good cup. I figured out that I have to pour the water into the cup I'm using and dump that into the reservoir. I'm the only coffee drinker in the house, so it's working for me, but I would hesitate to recommend it to anybody with more than one coffee drinker in the house.
The unit works well, but the filters are about a 1/4 inch too big for the holder. Ypu have to be careful when closing the grounds into the unit so the filter does not fall over. It brews well and is handy for just one mug to go. I like it when I do not want to make a whole pot of coffee at any time, not just on my way to work. I'm happy I got it and it is a good addition to my kitchen needs.

I love the option of brewing a fresh cup of coffee or tea on demand. This pot is quick, hot and the beverages have all been delicious. I haven't used the mug yet but do intend to soon. Love the removable water basin to put under the reverse osmosis faucet. I'm kind of partial to Kitchen Aid products.

"I just got in from a really long day at work. My invitation really put a smile on my face. I really love everything about the card. Thanks Tinyprints!!!"
"Having a baby in Febuary made this a perfect choice. The winter white and gold was a the answer to the fact that my daughter did not want to know if it's a girl or boy. I had to stay away from the blue and pink choices when designing a baby shower invite. It was elegant. I was also able to squeeze a sentence in about bringing a book for the baby's library instead of a card with a note from our guest. The staff was helpful with editing that fit perfectly. It did cost a bit more to mail because it was square but not much. I loved it."
"Searched high and low for gender neutral, bear themed baby shower invites. These were perfect! I ordered them at about 11 pm on Sunday night, and they were delivered early Tuesday. This was a wonderful surprise, because I did not pay for express shipping. Quality is great! I got tons of compliments when I sent them out. Super impressed with Tiny Prints."
"Nice quality paper, nice print looked very custom colors were crisp basic envelop too big for card but ok nice they offer smaller quantities like 10 would buy again"
"Invite colors are great. I did not have to get creative - it was already done for me. The problem was picking just one from so many."

Economics 101: Self-guided training
The free webinar, "Economics 101," was originally held June 26-28, 2012.
Marilyn Geewax, senior business editor for NPR's National Desk, demystifies economics for business journalists by breaking down complicated concepts and making them easier to understand.
- What is a recession? What constitutes a recovery? How can you identify what's happening in your area?
- What do the unemployment rate and first-time jobless claims mean? How many jobs have we lost in the last four years, and what will it take to recover those jobs? What are the local stories to be done on the labor market?
- What forces led to the recent wave of housing foreclosures? When will the residential real estate market start to recover? How can you get good data on what's happening in your area?
AGENDA: Economics 101
Each session lasts approximately one hour.
Day One: It's the economy, stupid - What will it take for us to get out of this economic slump? How can you tell whether your local economy is recovering; what are the signs to track?
Day Two: What will it take for jobs to come back - How do you find fresh stories in the drumbeat of stats about joblessness in your area?
Day Three: Foreclosures and falling housing prices – What needs to happen for the housing market to recover? What are the fresh local angles to pursue now – four years after the mortgage meltdown?
Marilyn Geewax is a senior business editor on NPR's national desk and the national economics correspondent for NPR's website. She was the national economics correspondent for Cox Newspapers' Washington Bureau. Before coming to Washington in 1999, she worked for the Cox flagship paper, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, first as a business reporter and then as a columnist and editorial board member.
Geewax was also a Davenport Fellow at the University of Missouri, and earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from Ohio State University. From 2001 to 2006, she taught a business journalism class as an adjunct professor at George Washington University.

This week I was asked, "Are there any kids' books that an adult might enjoy?" Hmmm. and the answer would be: Duh. Let me quote the great author of "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," C.S. Lewis, "No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally – and often far more – worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond."
You know, when I buy books as Christmas presents for my mom and sister, who are older than me, and I *am* a grown-up, (even though the waiter at dinner tonight accused me of being a kid 'cause I ordered chicken tenders), I don't buy "adult" books, I get them kid or teen books. In fact, I hardly ever read "adult" books. Out of the last 132 books I have read, only nine were "adult."
So, you ask, what kid books would a grown up like? Here are a few, which I will personally guarantee.
[2] boy raised by ghosts (in a cemetary) (last year's Newbery winner)
[3] dragons, princess, adventure, humor, etc (I gave it 5 stars on my goodreads [4] list)
[5] "feel good" story of a teacher and his class (one of my all time favorites)
[6] girl and grandpa study nature in 1899 Texas (one of this year's Newbery Honor books)
[7] "old fashioned" story of friendship and conflict resolution
the list could go on and on, but as they say, "so many books, so little time."

09 September 2010
Two Cardiff rowers have represented Britain and the University at an international regatta, winning a silver medal in the process.
Imogen Evans and Emma Cockcroft were selected to compete in the Women's Pair at the European Universities Rowing Championships.
Held this year in Amsterdam, the event is a highlight in the student sporting calendar attracting rowers competing at the very top level of the sport.
In a close-fought race over two kilometres, Imogen and Emma beat a crew from Eindhoven into the silver medal position by less than half a second and narrowly lost out on the gold medal themselves.
Stuart Vanstone, Head of Sport and Exercise at Cardiff said: "Rowing is a very demanding and time consuming sport. Combining it with full-time academic study is often complicated and requires much commitment, time management as well as being very organised! Emma and Imogen have proved they can cope with these demands and have set the standards for the rest of our students to follow."
Imogen started rowing two years ago and combines training and racing with studying for a degree in Psychology. She is part of the Great Britain under-23 squad and along with Emma has qualified to row at Henley Royal Regatta, an event of huge international pedigree.
Emma recently graduated with a degree in Physiology and during her time at Cardiff helped not only raise the profile of rowing but achieved outstanding results in the sport at university and national level.
Stuart Vanstone added: "Cardiff University Sport would like to wish Emma all the best for the future and congratulate both rowers on a fantastic year."

Good neck support for either back or side sleeping. Keeps my head from "catching fire" like it does some nights. Able to sleep through the night without constantly turning my pillow over look for a cool side.
I bought this pillow for two reasons. The first was because I slept on a foam pillow while visiting a friend and found it quite comfortable. The second was because all night I constantly wake up to flip my pillow over to have a cool spot for my head. I don't have to do that anymore! In fact, since I've been using this pillow my neck doesn't hurt in the morning and I find myself sleeping more soundly as well as being cool. I would definitely recommend this pillow - well worth the price!
A++++ purchase A very nice firm pillow with purple pad that keeps you cool...It is the size of a standard pillow, very firm in diameter but soft!!
It was firmer than I thought it would be. And a little too thick for me. But for my husband it is just right He is bigger than I am, so it worked out ok..
I don't like my pillow, its to hard. My parents don't like there's either. My husband however likes his. Its just personal preference.

Photos and Description of this 3 bedroom holiday home in Chugiak - Family Getaway/Hikers Paradise
3 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom, Large Deck, Sleeps 6-8
This property is nestled in the Eagle River Valley with stunning views of the Chugach Mountains. Look at the mountains as you enjoy your morning coffee from the kitchen table, or step out onto the spacious deck to enjoy the sounds of the birds or watch the wildlife. A fire pit off the front patio opens to a large yard for kids to play. Three bedrooms (plus a futon downstairs) and two baths make it perfect for families looking to enjoy the wonders that an Alaskan summer has to offer. A short 6 mile drive down the mountain takes you to Eagle River where you can find groceries, dining, and shopping, or you can continue about 10 miles down the Glenn highway to find yourself in the middle of beautiful downtown Anchorage. This property is ideal if you are in Alaska to visit family or friends.
- Suitability:
- Minimum Age Limit for Renters
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets not allowed
- wheelchair inaccessible
About Allison Erickson
Our family grew up in this home, enjoying a life in the woods while still being close to town. We moved to Alaska about 15 years ago, and found that Eagle River was a nice place to settle and raise our young children.
Allison Erickson purchased this house in 2001
Why Allison Erickson chose Chugiak
We love to enjoy the outdoors, whether that be skiing, hiking, or just going for quiet walks in the woods. This place offers the chance to enjoy all of this while still being close to home. This property makes us feel like the backcountry is right out the back door, but still close to employment, school, and city amenities.
What makes this house unique
This house is perfect as a base to launch day-long hiking trips, whether you want to explore in the Eagle River Valley or venture out to the various trails in the Anchorage bowl. However, the views from the front deck, the patio, or just out the windows are enough to make you want to stay 'at home' and relax.
