Hi! I'm Katrina and I am not J.K. Rowling (just to avoid any confusion there).
I've been writing on MNFF since about 2010, but up until a few months ago had not written anything for quite some time. So I am trying to get back into writing, and have quite a few stories percolating in my head, but I just need to find the time to write them.
I basically only write one-shots (I have one three chaptered story), and they're usually character explorations and snapshots rather than long plots, but I've written about a variety of characters, so hopefully there's something you'll enjoy. I like experimenting a bit with form too.
Anyway if you have stumbled here by accident, I do hope you enjoy something.
Lady by armagod679
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 8]
Summary: There are certain indispensable rules in the house of Black. You must stick with purebloods. You must disdain Muggles. You must keep up decorum at all times. You must show off your magic. You must appear to be a lady so a good pureblood boy will want to marry you.
I really enjoyed this fic - you captured boh Bella and Cissy perfectly. I loved the repetition of the opening and the ending - it has a nice circular effect, that evil will keep going on and on.
One of my favourite lines was "Aunt Walburga has removed her." - It was the perfect line for Bella.
The small canon problems - with ages etc. - didn't bother me much, as this is a fic about character and I thought it was done nicely.
Author's Response: Thank you!
Of Understanding and Misunderstanding by MagEd
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 34]
Summary: The seven women who loved Ron Weasley.
Once again it was very impressive and nicely written. It's great you wrote something about Ron, as his good qualities are often overlooked. I was surprised by your inclusion of Angelina initially, but it fitted. I liked how your tone changed for each section, especially for Luna's part. Can't wait for the next one!!
Author's Response: Thank you! Yes, it seems Ron doesn't get as much attention as a lot of characters. I'm glad you liked this, even if it surprised you a little. And I do try to change the tone to match the different voices -- I'm happy it worked and you appreciated it!
Catchphrase by Cinderella Angelina
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 6]
Summary: Percy Weasley meets Penelope Clearwater.
My first thought was excellent characterisation of Percy - you made him fit JK's Percy and yet put him in a nicer light than he was often seen in the books. In a way, I would have preferred it if the title was "What a coincidence" rather than "Catchphrase", but that's just my personal opinion.
But it was a great fic, definitely short and sweet :).
Of Slayers and Champions by ToBeOrNotToBeAGryffindor
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 23]
After it was all said and done, Harry wanted a sandwich. However, Ron knew that what he wanted was far deeper and complex and maddening and insufferable. But could Hermione ever forgive him for leaving her behind? Could he ever forgive himself?
This story was nominated for a 2011 Quicksilver Quill Award: Best Canon Romance.
This was really sweet! I think you characterised them both really well - particularly the tension at the beginning, and I loved how Ron finally plucked up his courage and explained to her what had really gone on in his mind. It shows a side of Ron that people sometimes ignore and really showed why he belongs in Gryffindor.
The idea about Hermione's middle name was perfect for this, I think, because it shows how much further Ron and Hermione can go together. Plus it was really sweet.
I loved the change in Ron throughout the fic, and the last paragraph was just perfect!!
Sometimes I found your narration a little clunky... I don't know, I don't really have examples so I'm probably not being particularly useful here... I guess I just didn't like it as much as the rest of the fic.
Oh also, I loved the idea that Harry just wanted a sandwich!! That gave away so much about his character/your interpretation of his character in just a sentence.
So yeah... I really enjoyed this, great work!!
Author's Response:
I will let you in on a little secret: I don't like Ron. If I knew him in person, I'd not like him at all. That being said, I decided that it was worth the challenge to portray him in a positive light and make my own hypothesis of what happened in post-sandwich Hogwarts. In about 70 minutes' worth of work, this is what came out. That might account for the 'clunk' in the narrative, since I really didn't, um, edit it past a quick punctuation sweep. Busted, hehe.
Anyway, I was pleased with how it came out, but most importantly, it made the birthday girl happy. I'm glad that you liked it, and thank you for taking the time to write such a nice review.
Stay With Me by Sagen
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 3]
Summary: Andromeda knows that Ted loves her, but does she love him? Is five months really long enough to know that you love somebody?
She's running out of time to answer, and with news of their relationship spreading, she soon finds herself having to make the hardest choice of all. This is a sequel to my Boy Oh Boy.
I'm glad you added a sequel to Boy oh Boy, I felt like it needed some more at the end of that. This was a sweet story and I really liked it, however there were a few small grammatical mistakes (eg "I was be disowned" instead of I would be disowned) and in some cases I thought you over-wrote Andromeda's thoughts, when to the reader they were obvious by her actions.
But otherwise it was sweet and nicely written. Great fic :).
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for the comments.
Stop Signs by leftrightmiddle
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 9]
Summary: It's been one month since the Final Battle, and George is still trying to cope with the death of his brother. He's refusing to talk to anyone, so it comes as a surprise to the both of them when he accepts Angelina's invitation for coffee. During that fateful conversation, George learns that the funny thing about stop signs is that they're also start signs.
In general I enjoyed this fic - it was short but sweet and a nice exploration of this analogy.
I think I would have liked it more if you had added a bit more darkness into it - perhaps George could have resisted Angelina a bit more or something. I think my favourite part of this fic was actually the first bit - and Angelina's outburst is really good.
There were times when it felt like you were over-writing a bit, or writing things that you could have shown through dialogue or actions - for example, "It wasn't always easy to go forward. There was still a fear of getting hurt, but you had to make that leap to move on" - I feel like you could just show this through George's reaction to Angelina.
It also seemed a bit cliched in the way that George changed so quickly...
Anyway, I enjoyed it, this is just things I thought which might help your writing. Good job :)
Author's Response: Wow, thanks so much for that, and taking time to review! I will definetly keep this in mind when I write in the future, I find you a very helpful reviewer. Have a great day! -bri
Juggling by Equinox Chick
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 19]
Summary: Lily Evans wasnât the only Gryffindor with a childhood friend. Whilst she was meeting the boy who would introduce her to the magical world, someone else was learning how to mix with Muggles.
This is not, however, a story about Lily Evans. This is a tale about James Potter and the Muggle girl that he never quite forgot.
This story is for Natalie (hestiajones) who makes me laugh more than most people and has been a very supportive friend, despite our separate continents. Happy Birthday, mate!
Iâm indebted to Gina (Gmariam) who kindly offered to beta this short one-shot, and then didnât complain when it mushroomed into a chaptered fic.
Because of an archive gliitch, this fic has been temporarily put down a rating. the content remains the same and it is still a 6th-7th. You have been warned.
Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling. If I had been, then Sirius, Remus, James, Lily and Tonks would not have died. Peter, however would have died in an icky manner
OMMPP! Juggling won 2 QSQ's for Best Chaptered Marauder and Dita won Best Original Character. Seriously pleased and shocked here. Thank you.
The chapter titles are all from Keane songs.
This was so heartbreaking to read. I liked your depiction of James especially, and your reasoning behind him asking Lily out was nice (it is nice not to see him moping over her once in a while).
Dita was a great character too. I liked the way you paralleled the idea juggling worlds in Dita and James. The first chapter was great too - especially the first time they met.
Anyway, I could ramble a lot about how much I enjoyed all of this. Your writing was beautiful throughout, and that last bit with Remus was just so sad and yet so beautiful...
Author's Response: Aww, thank you very much. I enjoyed writing this, although I never thought I'd like writing James with anyone but LIly. I agree that it gets a bit tiresome seeing him only thinking about Lily. Thanks again ~Carole~
The Story of Ron and Hermione by WeasleyFamilyLove
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 34]
Summary: A look at moments of Ron and Hermione's life through the years. The narrative alternates between their two POV.
For those of us that wonder what Ron and Hermione's life would be like through the years.
This was such a cute fanfic... I loved your characterisations of Ron and Hermione, they were beautiful. The fic was sort of sad in a good way... not quite bittersweet though... especially the last chapter, when everyone was getting old and dying, but you know that they'd lived happy long lives and it was really their time. I liked how in the first chapter and the beginning of the second, you showed them looking forward to life after the war, and in the later bits looking back over memories. It captured that funny thing about humans - that we're always looking either forwards or backwards.
I loved how people who died in the war - especially Fred - were present throughout your story, it showed that they were never forgotten which was really sweet.
Just one little typo I just picked up - you've written "It's sounds more morbid then it really is." It should be "It sounds more morbid than it really is."
Anyway, this whole fic was really cute and written so well, I loved it :).
Author's Response: Thank you! Yes I wanted to try to capture everything you mentioned so I'm glad you loved it haha. And thanks for the edit! I must have reread that line a million times and my eye just skipped over that typo haha. Thanks for noticing and for the wonderful comments!
Forever Entwined by lucca4
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 17]
From the first time Rose Weasley saw Scorpius Malfoy on the Hogwarts Express, she knew they were fated to be enemies. At least, that was the plan. But as the years went on, she found that it was easier said than done. The gap between who she was and who her family wanted her to be was always widening. Her life becomes a tangled web of mistakes and regrets as she finds herself drawn to the one boy she was told to hate, until finally she makes a choice. A choice that might have just lost her the only one who had always been there for herâ¦
I really liked how you developed Rose's character... I think that's the best thing about this fic. Showing all the small scenes over her years at Hogwarts was perfect, it really showed her growing up and changing, but still staying the same. I thought Scorpius would have been more angry or hurt or something at the end, though. Rather than just kissing her, perhaps they would have argued or something first? Otherwise I thought you did a really good job of him.
So yeah, great story, I enjoyed it a lot :).
Author's Response: Thanks so much for reviewing! I'm glad you liked Rose's character I'll probably write more of her later simply because I feel like I got to know her so well after writing her through the years. With Scorpius's reaction he sees that Rose is truly remorseful, and that she's really worried that she's too late, and doesn't want to hurt her or push her away when she's finally opening up to him. Afterward they'll probably have a more serious discussion. Thanks again, so much! xx Ariana
Excruciatingly Painful by xxbabewithbrainsxx
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 9]
Summary: In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, five men deal with remorse, yet in completely different ways. It affects the soul, mentality and even the body. This poem explores the way these five men cope with wrong actions and the guilt that follows it.
By the way, I'm not J K Rowling. I doubt you're surprised. All reviews receive a response!
This was a really interesting idea, to link all these different characters together. Your five different definitions of it were very interesting and appropriate, and it was easy to tell which characters you were writing about (though I thought Ron's paragraph was Severus for a bit... it's a pity he wasn't in here in a way, because he certainly feels a lot of remorse). Anyway, I'm not usually a massive poetry fan so I can't really comment on the structure/rhyming etc., but it did seem to flow well. Your word choice was great too, really appropriate (I almost laughed when you used "wormed" in Peter's stanza). I also liked how you brought the title into the last stanza. So anyway... sorry this isn't a particularly great review... but great poem!
Author's Response: Thanks for another one of your lovely reviews! I'm really chuffed you like my poem. It's the only one on my story list which has less than five reviews, sadly. Still, I'm happy you reviewed it and told me what you think. I don't know how on earth it got into my head, the whole concept of it, but I'm glad it did because--without trying to sound arrogant or anything--I did like my poem. I don't know--am I allowed to like it? I'm not sure. Anyway, you're completely right; Snape should've been there, but I'll admit that I completely shut him out simply because I hate him, despite what he did for Harry and everything. I don't know, maybe I'm like Harry, in that I don't care what he's done, he's still an overgrown bat :P I'm glad you liked my word choice and that you thought it flowed--that's usually a problem with poems for me. And...you almost laughed when I said "wormed"? Well, it wasn't exactly my intention but I did think it was appropriate given his name. And this entire thing really started when--I remember now--I read in DH about how putting your soul back together would be excruciatingly painful. That day I was thinking a hell of a lot about souls and how painful it would be to tear it apart, let alone put it back together, and I think that's where it came from. As for the title, I only decided it after I wrote the last stanza, so it was really just coincidence :P Thank you ever so much for your reviews, all of them. This one IS a particularly great review, don't worry. ~Soraya~
Apathy by inspirations
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 4]
This was really well written. I thought it was interesting to look at it from Draco's perspective, rather than one of the Weasley's or someone like that. He has that different position of having supported Voldemort but now suffering just as everyone else under his regime.
Especially your description of Hermione at the end was chilling. - "all he could think was that it was as if somebody had gouged them out of her sockets with sharp fingernails, leaving behind only two nasty, bloody hollows" - that's a very powerful line.
Author's Response: Thank you! I've never written a story from Draco's pov before, so I'm pleased you like it :) xx
Summary: She left him. Two years later, he still hasn't picked up the pieces and moved on.
I think it was a good setting for this story, but to be honest I think both Ron and Hermione were a bit OOC, especially Ron. From his behaviour in HBP, when he feels like Hermione doesn't like him/hates him, he throws himself into partying etc (for example his relationship with Lavender). Therefore I think it might work better if he was dancing with some nameless pretty girl when he remembered Hermione breaking up with him or something like that.
Hermione seemed a little over the top... although I guess she could get like that if that scenario was just the last straw.
I thought it was written fairly well though, and you did manage to convey Ron's pain/anger/loss.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review! I appreciate you taking the time to leave one.
A Different Kind Of Magic 2: Parenthood by xxbabewithbrainsxx
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 29]
Summary: A sequel, of sorts, to A Different Kind Of Magic. Ginny's being dragged along by Teddy to see his and his grandma's new house. What could possibly go wrong?
Well, when Ginny's heavily pregnant and Teddy full of five-year-old energy…the answer to that is…everything.
The rating is purely due to Ginny's choice of language, and rest assured it is very brief. All reviews receive a reply!
After reading the "prequel" for want of a better word to this, I decided to check this fic out, and I'm glad I did. It was great! (Possibly better than the first one... but that was great too...). The way you intertwined the two different story lines was very effective. You have great plot ideas which make this kind of story really unique!
My favourite line was "Forget the Boy Who Lived. Harry was the Dad Who Lived." It simultaneously made me laugh and go 'aww'. Plus it was perfect for Harry's character.
Just one small thing - I would have liked it if you went into more detail about the issues between Ginny and Andromeda. I don't know, I was just curious after you made some comment about it.
Anyway, it was great how you tied two story lines down to really simple things, like love, and made them connect to your title as well. Great job!!
Author's Response: Yeah, I have to agree with you that this one is better than the last one--I guess that shows how my writing has improved and evolved over the years...Thank you for saying that I have great plot ideas. My favourite line is the same as yours--God knows how I came up with that. And I do plan to have some sort of follow-up about the issues with Andromeda and Ginny and Narcissa and everyone. Just not at the moment because I'm currently working on Checkmate, my WIP. Thanks for another one of your lovely reviews and I hope to see you in my inbox again soon. ~Soraya~
Sibling Rivalry by Phoenixsong7611
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 5]
Summary: While waiting for news from the battle at Hogwarts, Andromeda mulls over her relationship with her sisters. Will it ever be right again?
I thought this was a great idea for a story and you explored this idea fairly well - especially considering it's your first fic :).
However, I did find your writing a little clunky at times. I think I would have preferred the flashback to have come earlier, and then you wouldn't have had to describe Narcissa's and Bellatrix's characters so much, you could have just shown them through that.
In general you seemed to tell the reader what was happening, rather than showing it. Lines like this one - "Her thoughts turned again to her sisters." - seemed a little superfluous, as without it, it still would have been clear that Andromeda's mind had returned to her sisters.
I liked the way you kept referring to the clock ticking by and Andromeda's anxiety for her family, but I would have liked it if you'd tied in her 'new family' as more of a contrast to her 'old family'. Also, the ending seemed a little strange to me - it didn't particularly seem to conclude your ideas.
Anyway I hope you don't take my review to be negative, that's not the intention, I just think you've got a great idea here which could be even better :).
Author's Response: Thank you so much for your review! I agree, this could have been better. I could have spent more time on it, honestly, but summer break had quite drained my perfectionist nature. Do you think there is room for another Battle of Hogwarts fic? I have been thinking of doing one...and I am sorry about my not replying for so long.
Mourning by armagod679
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 1]
Summary: Andromeda feels the grief of losing her daughter, but she does not cry. Not yet.
I enjoyed this fic - I thought you got into Andromeda's character really well. It was a great moment to place the story, and I liked your idea that she's more in shock and can't cry yet, but when Harry comes and takes responsibility away from her (by taking Teddy) that she can finally let go.
Unfortunately, I didn't quite like your Harry - I know he's only in the fic for a few lines, but some of his dialogue didn't quite sit right with me. I would have imagined him to have been more nervous when he arrived and not quite so good at saying what he meant. But maybe that's just my interpretation of him. I did like the last line thought, and how it connected to the beginning and brought Harry and Andromeda together nicely.
Another little nitpick - you've written "Therefore, she was considerably unsurprised to see Harry Potter..." - the considerably unsurprised seems a little awkward to me, perhaps something like 'not at all surprised' would have worked better?
Anyway, in general I did like this fic and how you showed Andromeda.
Author's Response: Thank you for the lovely review. I've never been very good with Harry for some reason-- that's why I don't write about him very often. Thank you for writing in!
Hopelessness by FlightOfSong
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 4]
Summary: When Ron listened to Hermione's screams from down in the cellar of Malfoy Manor, what was going through his mind?
I'm not usually a massive reader/fan of poetry, but this summary looked interesting so I checked it out. I really liked the first stanza; it really embodied that horrible and disturbing scene for me. Especially the end - "Knife to her throat / Blood on her skin". Chilling.
I also loved the last two lines - they really delved into Ron's character and ended it really nicely.
I have to say, I thought your choice of words were sometimes a little strange - for example, using the word "mirthless" didn't quite fit for me. I would use that word only if there was a situation that was supposed to be funny, and the character didn't find it so, or if a character laughs but without mirth (it often makes me think of the way Voldemort laugh).
However some of your words were great, like "abyss" (that is just a wonderful word and perfect here).
The beginning of the second stanza also sums up Ron's character, I like how you have him defending that it was her, not him, who was being tortured. If that makes sense.
So all in all, a nice, chilling poem. Oh and the title was great too and really ties in with the last line.
Summary: The Boy Who Lived discovers that he may not have escaped the Final Battle unscathed after all.
This was really sad, but really well written. I love how you used second person - it made me feel really involved in the story, as if I was personally experiencing this. Using Ginny as your focalising character was also a nice touch, and that last line really sent chills down my spine.
I loved how you played with the reader's emotions - right until the end you make it seem like there's some hope, especially when Hermione finds something in a book, and then in the end it is heartbreaking.
I loved the spell as well - what an original and dark idea! And I loved the irony as well, that Harry's soul ends up fracturing into tiny pieces - almost as if he inadvertantly echoes Voldemort.
The only really tiny thing I didn't like so much was the opening paragraph. I can see that you were trying to give a sense of the setting, but it didn't draw me in so much. Sorry I can't really think of how you could have done it better... and anyway, by the end I'd almost forgotten about it because the rest was so amazing!!
One more thing - I really loved how Ginny's character came through, and how you showed her 'shattering' (for want of a better word) throughout the fic.
Author's Response: Wow, thank you for such an amazing first review! I really appreciate it. I'm glad you enjoyed the second person pov - I know a lot of readers don't, but it just came out that way. I find it heartbreaking as well. It was interesting to explore a 'what if?' for that Final Battle, especially since I really thought Harry might die at the time the last book was released. I don't know where I got the idea for the spell, but you are exactly right about how it mirrors Voldemort. It's bitter irony, something JKR didn't touch on much. I'm glad you kept reading in spite of the opening paragraph - I can see how it's a bit different than the rest of the story - thanks again for the lovely review!! ~Gina :)
I'll Miss You by Quill And Ink
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 11]
Summary: September first was not a day Hermione was looking forward to. As she boards the train, she
must say goodbye to those she loves.
I loved how you created such a sweet moment between Ron and Hermione - it would be a really hard good-bye for them, after living so closely together for seven years. I liked the parallel to the traditional 'first-year getting on the train' scenario, talking about the letters etc., it made it very cute.
To be honest, having Ginny and Molly arguing seemed a little strange to me, especially over Harry. I think to Molly, it would have been fairly obvious that they'd get together, and considering how much she likes Harry, she would actually be quite happy. It seems strange that she is happy with Ron and Hermione being together, but not Harry and Ginny.
I also thought it was a pity that there was hardly any reference to the war - perhaps something about how many people would be missing or something. I think that might have added to the bittersweet feeling in this story.
I thought you did write it very nicely though, both Ron and Hermione seemed very IC and I loved the nervousness yet excitement they both seem to feel. Well done.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! Like I said below, it would have mainly been the fact that nobody told Molly that would have been argued about. I did contemplate putting in a moment of thought upon Fred, and I now regret not. I'm really glad you stopped by to let your opinion. Thanks for advice and words of encouragement!
Unbeatable by armagod679
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 3]
Summary: You're unbeatable, Jimmy. You're unbeatable and don't you forget it. Some day, you'll play for the great teams of Britain. That was what Jimmy Peakes's father had always told him. Now Jimmy has to prove it, not only to his team captain, but to the girl he likes, and to himself.
So bitter sweet! I totally wasn't expecting his Dad to die... it was very sad. You wrote that bit nicely - there was no description of lots of tears and pain and all that, just some nice dialogue. I loved the way each vignette was interspersed with conversations with his Dad. It was also really interesting to show the Quidditch team from someone else's point of view, and how Ron affected them all. Your sense of character is great - I had a nice picture of Jimmy, his Dad, Ritchie and Demelza, which was a great achievement in such a short fic!!
Author's Response: Thank you very much! It suddenly occurred to me that we really don't know anything about the new kids in book six, and I thought they deserved a story. I'm glad you liked it!
Mercy by hogwartsbookworm
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 12]
Summary: If you knew that the consequence of doing the right thing might be torture, or even death, would you still do it?
This story was inspired by something Neville said in passing. "…And then Michael Corner went and got caught releasing a first year they'd [the Carrows] chained up, and they tortured him pretty badly…"
This is the untold tale of an unsung hero: Michael Corner.
This was a really nice depiction of Michael Corner and filled him out a bit more than the books do, your characterisation was lovely. I wasn't too sure about Filch... I thought it was great, showing another side to him, but the Filch from the books was in a way quite one-dimensional so I just wonder whether or not it's believable. But then again, you made it work and it worked really effectively for the suspense of your story. And it makes you think, too, about how often the bad people get cold feet...
Anyway, back to your story, it was very well-written. I have to say, I found the beginning bit dragged on just a little too long... perhaps you could have interspersed some of that with the action?
Also I loved the irony of Mercy's name, very well picked for her character and as a title.
Just one other small thing - I'm not sure if you really need the last sentence... somehow I think it's more effective without it, but that's just my humble opinion.
Anyway, sorry I'm rambling on here... it was a very moving/haunting story and you managed to deal with some quite heavy themes without melodrama and I really loved it :).
Author's Response: Thank you! I agree with everything you said: I wasn't sure Filch would do that either, but I decided he needed something to redeem him; the beginning does drag a bit, since it is all internal pondering, but that part, the internal pondering, is the drabble that the rest of the one shot was built off of; I enjoyed the irony of Mercy's name as well; and it could do without the last sentence, but somehow, I rather like that line, so... I don't know that I shall part with it.
I love rambles! Don't worry about it. I'm glad you thought it moving/haunting. That's what I was going for.
Thanks for reading and reviewing!

And Klitschko reportedly turned them down. The Ukrainska Pravda newspaper reported that Klitschko, who is reportedly the most influential opposition leader in Ukraine, refused all proposals to bribe him to not challenge the ruling party. He was also reportedly offered the promise that if he did win the presidency, the Constitution, which Ukrainian protesters feel is coming under assault with recent laws against protesting that threaten to undermine the right to free speech, would "come into force again" if he appointed Viktor Yanukovych as Prime Minister. He refused that offer as well. During the protests, "Klitschko has begun to look like a national leader" and, according to the UK Independent, he has the advantage of not being "tarred by failures in power." In addition, Klitschko's message has been to "fight for a political rather than armed solution." Opposition leaders are demanding that Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych resign and on Friday, "Klitschko said outside mediation was needed if any progress is to be made in talks between the opposition and government." "International mediators must be involved in any discussion of the crisis in Ukraine," he said. "Yanukovych decided to declare war on his own people rather than stop the confrontation and approach resolving the situation with common sense. He tries to keep power at a price of blood and destabilize the country. He must be stopped." The violent protests escalated anti-protest laws "sparked concerns they could be used to put down demonstrations and deny people the right to free speech." Those laws include "provisions barring people from wearing helmets and masks to rallies, from setting up tents or sound equipment without prior police permission, and from traveling in convoys of more than five vehicles without authorization." Klitschko's steadfastness has not surprised those in the boxing world. The Klitschko brothers, both of whom have been heavyweight boxing champions, have said in the past they would turn down $1 billion to fight each other to honor their promise to their mother that they would never do so.

An all Big Ten Michigan nobody. come on. dont' expose your ignorance like that. Now I think the Jets reached to pick Hobson and Askew. I had us picking Askew but in the 5th, and I'm wondering if Hobson plays Middle or Strong as he did in college and the papers have already projected him.
What about a guy like Mike Nattiel who may have been available later and could play the weak, moving Cowart over to the middle in year.
I think the Jets must have something in the works for one more WR in FA. But I don't really care. Getting Robertson could turn a solid D (at the end of 2002) into a stiffling one. I truly believe that.

OLYMPIA, Wash. — Gov. Chris Gregoire said Wednesday she's not changing any security procedures after discovering that a biker who shot and killed a Portland, Ore., police officer decades ago showed up at a recent bill signing.
Robert Christopher was convicted of killing officer David Crowther during a drug raid in 1979, but he was released from prison after less than two years due to police misconduct in his case. He was among a group of bikers who stood near Gregoire on April 13 as she signed a bill prohibiting law enforcement from profiling motorcyclists for sporting club colors or logos.
She said she's aware of grumblings from some law enforcement officials about Christopher's presence, but said bill signings are open to the public and that's how it should be. Attendees do not have to pass through metal detectors.

Metals Service Center Institute,
copper and brass,
Peter Morici,

KOHLER, Wis. For metal markets such as copper to improve there needs to be stronger overall growth in the United States, according to economist Peter Morici.
Morici said he is less optimistic than others about how strong the U.S. and global economies will be in the coming two years, but there is nonetheless some slight growth on the horizon, he said at the Metals Service Center Institutes Copper and Brass Products Division Conference in Kohler, Wis.
He said he expects the U.S. economy to grow more rapidly in 2014 than this yearhe projects gross domestic product growth of about 2.3 percent compared with a projected 2 percent growth in 2013but others are more optimistic. "If theres optimism about the economy, its good for metal prices, but now how long can that be sustained?"
Based on historical trends, the U.S. economy should be able to grow 5 percent year over year despite the recession, said Morici, a professor at the University of Marylands Robert H. Smith School of Business.
U.S. policy is the main culprit behind the slow growth, he said. Solutions include curbing the federal deficit through health-care and social security reform, restructuring banks, replacing Dodd-Frank, reforming regulations and taxes and fixing trade issues with China, Morici said.
The United States is too reliant on China for trade, which is why the metals industry has been affected by the sluggishness of that countrys economy, he said.
However, there are also some positive indicators for the metals industry, such as stronger housing starts and auto sales, Morici said. "If you build houses, you also build strip malls, which use steel, copper, aluminum. Then you need appliances (and) fixtures, so a robust housing market and new home construction is an important indicator of where were going."
Morici said he expects housing starts to grow from 780,000 starts in 2012 to 1 million this year and 1.2 million by 2014.
The number of housing permits grew to an annual rate of 974,000 in May, up 20 percent from 806,000 in the same month last year (amm.com, June 19).
Auto sales also are expected to grow year over year because the technology in vehicles are much better than in years past, and people will replace cars sooner in order to drive better, high-tech vehicles, Morici said.
U.S. vehicle sales are expected to increase from 14.4 million units in 2012 to 15.4 million units this year and 16 million units in 2014, he said.
All comments are subject to editorial review.

Every month American Metal Market takes a statistical look inside the marketplace.
The Korean producers 'seem to think they have a good case, but personally I wouldn't get overly confident.'

How to Make Over a Porch on a Budget
Paint and a few accessories will give your porch a bright new look
By Cathy McClellan
At some point, your porch will probably be in need of a serious makeover. The weather wreaks havoc with items on a porch and eventually, just about everything needs to be replaced, repaired or updated. There are several things you can do to clean and brighten your porch without spending a lot of money. A little hard work along with a few new items will have your porch looking young again.
- What You Need to Know
- Breathing a little life into your porch isn't that difficult. It simply requires a few cleaning supplies and decorative accessories to get the job done. A water hose with a spray attachment can blast dirt, debris and bird droppings off the porch, while some paint and paintbrushes can give it a face lift. After that, all it takes is some rugs, and possibly a new set of table and chairs.
Step 1:
Take everything off your porch, use a spray attachment on your water hose and clean the whole thing, including the siding, windows and door. Wash all the dirt and debris from the porch floor. If you have outdoor furniture, wash that as well. Make sure everything is clean and dry before proceeding to the next step.
Step 2:
Purchase colorful outdoor paint that will complement the porch or the colors of your house. Visit flea markets or antique stores to find inexpensive items that you can paint to add a dash of color to the porch. You may even have something around your house, such as a small bookcase, that is just gathering dust waiting for a new life on your porch.
Step 3:
Paint your porch furniture in a new, vivid color. Consider using two colors that complement each other, such as bright blue and bright yellow. Paint (or repaint) small crates and unused end tables, and place them next to a love seat or chair.
Step 4:
Paint your old flowerpots to enhance the porch. Consider buying a few affordable plants to hang or place strategically on small, painted crates. Use large pots on each side of the bottom steps and place pumpkins, fall leaves and twigs in the pots for a fall look. You can easily change the design according to the season or holiday by replacing the pumpkins with new decorations appropriate to your seasonal or holiday theme.
Step 5:
Repaint old indoor decorations or attic finds, such as a hames mirror made from a draft-horse collar, iron wall art or an old clock, and install them on your porch. Repaint the front door to complement the porch. Consider a folding screen or an inexpensive bamboo shade on one side of your porch for privacy or shelter from the summer sun. Add a floor lamp and lay colorful outdoor rugs at the top of the steps and in front of the door for additional decoration.
- Tips & Warnings
- If you have access to barn wood, make a window frame to hang on the wall or paint a welcome sign.
- Installing new lighting is one of the most effective ways to give your porch a makeover. Hire a licensed electrician to do the job.

Not out on DVD yet, but will probably buy Brooklyn 99, very funny comedy IMO
No one's mentioned 'Firefly', that I noticed.
I think about re-watching things, but then think "no, already seen it", however as soon as its on Tv I like to watch the whole episode.
With older content like ST:TNG etc I am holding off watching episodes until they are released on blu-ray, of course TNG has is nearly fully released on blu-ray but other shows like 24 (early seasons) are not yet.
I try not to think about Firefly because then I get very sad perhaps the finest SF show of recent times.
One of the techs here is buying the BluRays of ST:TNG as they come out, so when a term break rolls around we spend lunchtime each day in the gym hall with all the curtains drawn and the speakers turned up full to watch an episode on the projector with our packed lunches. Seems a shame that all that shiny AV kit goes unused 13 weeks of the year, and besides, it's a good test of the equipment, it's not as if anyone else tells us when things stop working...
Our favourites include Family Guy, American Dad, Jonathan Creek and The IT Crowd. I'm also a big fan of Alias. We're just working our way through Dexter on Netflix and I've also started watching Continuum as well.
My other half enjoys Bad Girls and can sit and watch them all day long if left to it!
The very Mention of Babylon 5 the other day here on EG started me off with it again. I have such a connection with that show as it was the first scifi I truly watched from start to finish when it was on air for the first time.
Also the West Wing, I could start with the pilot episode and suddenly a week will have gone by I'll be watching the final episode and I wont have left the house. The way Aaron Sorkin writes is just wonderful! I do the same with the Newsroom and Studio Sixty as well.
New Battlestar was magnificent and it just sucks you in. I also own all of Hustle, which is just fantastic and very easy to get sucked into, it's funny, clever and dramatic all in one and certainly on a par with Spooks in terms of the production quality.
I'm a huge 24 fan, we used to have 'Jack Night' at uni, when one of us would download the episode the moment it had aired so we could keep up to date with the series. Can't wait for it to start again. And my new favourite show is The Following, which seems to draw a lot of inspiration from 24, but takes a different path. The Missus and I have watched the first series in the last four nights.

Where Wine Comes From
While no doubt unremarkable, and even boring to those who make their living by growing wine grapes, I don't tire of seeing great pictures of the raw materials that go into my bottles. In this case, several clusters of grapes (what look to me like Pinot Noir) sheltering in the shade and reflected light of a hot day. -- Alder Yarrow

I have grown up in wine country and i never get tired of looking at vineyard pictures. Some of my favorites are pictures taken in late fall when the leaves turn a beautiful gold and red.
Just breath taking during that time of year!
Just for informations' sake: when the vineyards turn red, it means they have virus that prevents the grapes from ripneing properly. The color is very romantic, but the result, from the winemakers' standpoint, is not so good!
Reminds me of when we thinned the leaves out by hand at Tin Cross the beginning of last summer. It gave you a perfectly clear view of the grapes, sheltered by the canopy left above. I don't tire of it, either. Not yet, at least.
Add me to the list of people who never tire of vineyards and the different views they offer through the seasons.

Governor Bob McDonnell says he has completed returning gifts from a major political donor who showered his family with thousands of dollars in gratuities the past four years.
The governor told the Associated Press on Monday that his private attorney had notified him that all the tangible gifts from Jonnie Williams have been returned.
McDonnell has hired private council to represent him in federal and state investigations into his interactions with Williams, who is the CEO of Star Scientific.
Gov. McDonnell has already repaid loans valued at nearly $125,000, and two of his daughters have returned gifts of $10,000 and $15,000 he gave them for their weddings.
The governor did not report the gifts on his annual financial disclosure statements, citing state law that requires disclosure only of gifts directly to officeholders, not members of their families.

I think there are millions of more enjoyable occasions in the future for people who looked over your blog.

SAN FRANCISCO – Google is once again selling its Internet-connected eyewear to anyone in the U.S. as the company fine-tunes a device that has sparked intrigue and disdain for its potential to change the way people interact with technology.
The latest release of Google Glass comes a month after a one-day sale gave U.S. residents their first chance to buy the hottest accessory in geek fashion.
Google Inc. isn't setting a time limit for people to buy Glass this time, although the company is emphasizing that the product remains in its test, or Explorer, phase.
As has been the case since Google began selling Glass to a select group in 2012, the device costs $1,500. It's available only on Google's website for now.
Glass, which comes in five colors, looks like a pair of spectacles – except the Explorer edition has no actual glass in the frames. Instead, the device has a thumbnail-sized screen attached above the right eye so a user can check email, see Twitter posts or get directions without having to grope for a phone.
For no extra cost, Google will add a titanium frame that can be fitted with prescription lenses or sunglasses from Maui Jim or Zeal Optics that can be clipped on.
The resumed sale of Google Glass is the latest indication that the Mountain View, California, company is nearing a mass-market release of the device.
Google is planning to release a more polished version of Glass by the end of this year that may sell for less than the price of the Explorer version. Analysts believe the cost will have to come down dramatically if Glass is to become anything more than a novelty.
The parts and assembly of Glass cost only $152.47, based on an analysis by the research firm IHS Technology. Most of Glass' costs stem from the extensive engineering and design behind it, IHS said.
Misgivings about Glass center on its ability to take hands-free photos and video through voice-activated commands. The ability to record images so easily – and perhaps secretly – has raised privacy and piracy concerns and has prompted some casinos, theaters and bars to ban the use of Glass on their property.

What can I tell ya ?
It's a classic.
SD Alcohol 40 , Water , Glycerin , Fragrance , Menthol ,
Benzophenone-1 , FD&C Blue #1 , Ext. D&C Violet No. 2
This stuff is dirt cheap, you can find it EVERYWHERE
it works great and it dont smell half bad.
My ratings, I hope make some sense.
PRICE at "10" means it costs next to nothing.
No Alcohol Burn at "1" means it burns like the fires of Hell....but only for a second.
The cooling effect then kicks in and feels wonderful.
Dries nicely and doesnt feel sticky or tacky.
If your skin is dry an ASB might also be required.
Scent is a "7"....not bad, but not my favorite. Lasts awhile.
In short....everyone should have some of this around.

COCHRAN, Ga. — A teenager has been apprehended and charged with murder in the case of a Middle Georgia State College student missing for more than two weeks, authorities said.
Campus police say the 17-year-old suspect was taken into custody Thursday night.
The Hawkinsville teenager is enrolled at a high school and at the central Georgia college, the school said in a statement.
He's charged with murder in the disappearance and death of 19-year-old freshman Jmaal Malik Keyes of Austell, just west of Atlanta, authorities said. He was living in a residence hall on the school's Cochran campus when he was last seen April 25.
School officials said campus police worked with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and local police to search numerous times for Keyes and followed up leads, one of which lead to Thursday's arrest.
Police have not revealed details of how Keyes was slain. Keyes' body has not been found, Middle Georgia State Police Chief Shawn Douglas told WMAZ-TV in Macon.
Campus police have said they have surveillance video that shows Keyes, who did not have a car on the campus, getting into another student's car, WXIA-TV reported. Officers located that student, who told them he dropped Keyes off in a neighborhood near campus April 25, the Atlanta station reported.
That is the last time anyone has reported seeing Keyes. Police said his belongings were untouched in his dorm room.
"We are absolutely devastated by this news," Middle Georgia State Interim President John Black said in a statement. "There just are no words to describe how deeply hurt we are and how terrible we feel for Jmaal's family."
Black said he wants to convey his condolences to everyone in Keyes' family and those who knew him.
"We ask everyone in the Middle Georgia community to keep this family in their thoughts and prayers in the days and weeks to come," Black said. "We will cooperate in every way to help law enforcement authorities complete their investigation."
Keyes and the teenage suspect apparently knew each other as campus classmates, Douglas said.
The suspect was "dual-enrolled" at his high school and the college, school officials said. Investigators did not find any calls between the two on their cell phones, he said.

There has been no indication that a F81 M3 touring is in BMW's plans (not likely), but one artist imagines what such a super wagon would look like.
There's been no indication from BMW nor any F81 M3 Touring prototypes spied, but we can always dream and imagine.
We'll likely never see this car in real life, but here's a glimpse at what such a unique machine might look like, taking cues from the spied F80 M3 Sedan prototypes.
For the latest F80 M3 and F82 M4 news and updates, follow along @ http://www.bimmerpost.com/m3/f30m3/
Here is the full set of our BMW F82 M4 Coupe Concept renders – with a front, rear, and interior view. Enjoy!
Are you the BMW M4 (F82) Coupe Concept?
CAR Magazine claims that these 2014 F80 M3 sedan images are the real deal, received from BMW. But, judging by their recent history with a false claim that a F10 M5 image they printed was also the real thing, we're inclined to think that this may again be a case of crying wolf.
We recently posted our first set of BMW M4 Coupe renders based off the 4 Series Coupe Concept, and we now bring you even more interpretations previewing the F82 M4, by resident artist E92Alpine328i.
We started with the 4 Series Coupe Coupe and incorporated what the M3/M4 prototype spy photos and videos have revealed so far, along with some speculation and imagination.
For more M3/M4 coverage see: http://www.bimmerpost.com/m3/f30m3/
To recap, here is an updated list of what we know about the F80/F82 so far:
We've put together some renders of what the BMW M4 Coupe (F82) may look like, starting with the 4 Series Coupe Coupe and incorporating what the M3/M4 prototype spy photos and videos have revealed so far, along with some speculation/imagination.
We've given the M4 the 1M+M6 style front bumper spied on the F80 M3 prototypes, but the M4 bumper will likely look somewhat different. We've also incorporated the M sideskirts, wide fenders and hood bulge spied in the prototype photos. It may also get double slatted … CONTINUED
Here's a rough render of the upcoming BMW M4 Coupe (F82) based on the revealed F32 4 Series Coupe Concept and incorporating bumper from the M6, hood bump from the current M3, side gill from the 1M, and more aggressive sideskirts.
Our member artists continue to give us potential previews of the 2014 BMW 4 Series with some great digital renders. Harold Wood has put together these speculative preview of the F32 4 Series Coupe, F33 4 Series Convertible, F32 4 Series Alpina B4, and F82 M4 coupe.
The new BMW M3 (F80) sedan will arrive in 2014, but what should it be like? Steve Sutcliffe puts three of its predecessors through their paces at Brands Hatch to find the perfect ingredients.
We have added our side profile renders of the 2015 BMW M4 Coupe (F82) to our set of official renders.
We started with a photo of the F82 M4 right outside of the BMW M testing center at the Nurburgring and began peeling away at the camouflage based on details which can be discerned from this particular prototype, other F82 M4 and F80 M3 mules, as well as our other imagination and speculation.
Here are some render highlights:

Dec 5, 2012Absolute drivel,; a mixture of whiney synth pop and mediocre melodia ....transient rock? get a grip do you even know what rock is? This is peurile. People love to give tags to things, "nerdy", "warbly", "insecure". No, this is silly voices, and whining over simple beats and "layering" is not a few chords. Jesus, is this what popular musis is becoming, different just for the sake of it with not even a nod to talent? X factor may be **** but at least it knows what it is, and winning a music prize does not make a band earth-shatteringly original or flawless. I guess i gave it 3 because a bit like Damien Hirst, they have fooled a lot of people who love to think they are all rather clever. If it were dinner i'd feed it to my dog.… Expand
Sep 20, 2012Simply stunning.......at first, I was hooked by only one or two songs (Tessellate & Something Good), but with each listen, I discover more depth and more to like.
Dec 23, 2012So underwhelming as to produce a soporific effect. The latest industry inside joke? ... Yes.
Laura Snapes of Pitchfork said it all-- 'overstuffed and messy, and so overworked that what life there may once have been now exists as a kind of primordial paste.'
Jun 20, 2012What can I say? One of the best, if not the best albums I've listened to this year. Complex, nerdy and catchy all at once! If Fleet Foxes were into electronic music and enjoyed geometric metaphors this is the album they'd make!
Dec 8, 2012With Alt J, I once again appreciated U.K's taste in music. From Tessellate to Taro (Taro might be the best track of 2012) and Bloodflood, An Awesome Wave is easily the best indie album of 2012.
Apr 11, 2013Terribly overrated album. No substance whatsoever, they are trying to be weird just for the sake of being weird and by ripping off other bands styles. Meaningless lyrics. It's like they are trying to accomplish something by going through shortcuts to appeal to the mainstream, it is simply sad. People will like this band because it is "so random XD". Overproduced piece of garbage. I really hope this band dies. I hated this album so much that it made me come and put a negative user review as I saw only the people who liked it reviewed it.… Expand
Apr 6, 2013Their sound is intriguing. When I first listening I wasn't sure what to make of it, but I couldn't stop listening. For about a month straight. And the more I listened, the more I appreciated the uniqueness. Fast forward a few months and I'm still as intrigued as ever.
Nov 24, 2012Didn't take long for this album to really grow on me. The musicianship feels like they've been a band for years and have recorded several great albums, but this their debut album. That's impressive. The only need for improvement could be the lyrics, but once this album sinks into your head, it's quite easy to overlook that. All In All, An Awesome Wave starts out strong and ends on a great note. I recommend this record.… Expand
Mar 31, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A boring, schizophrenic attack on both the ears and the mind. The album is unfocused and contains nonsensical, absurd lyrics (see Tessellate) sung by a whiney, pretentious snob (Breezeblocks and Interlude 1 are the most annoying vocal deliveries I've ever heard). The reason for a 1 instead of 0 is because of the dull, but interesting experimentation involving the instruments. Wild Beasts and The xx do this kind of thing (odd vocals/experimental music) a lot better, Alt-J are just rip-offs.… Expand
Apr 11, 2013in my opinion an awesome wave is one of the best albums of 2012, beautiful vocals, love the folk influences in the albums, absolutely amazing. I seriously can't stop listening to it, 10/10
Oct 12, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Heard of Wild Beasts? Wu Lyf?
Well Alt-J's An Awesome Wave is a tame sloth with no lyf.
I'd go on, but the taking and diluting of someone else's sound means I shouldn't.
Listen to a better album.
xoxo… Expand
Sep 25, 2012No other album this year has managed to capture my attention as well as this one. It blends catchy and addictive melodies and a unique voice with a very new sound.
Aug 21, 2012A new band from Cambridge is pushing the limits of alternative rock to the edge. With transient beats, folksy guitars, layered vocals, and unpredictable song structures, Alt-J
Jul 15, 2014Awesome Wave is literally the best album I have ever heard. I love the diversity of the music & the uniqueness of the vocalists' voices. I cannot get enough of this. I'm impatiently waiting for their next album...
Oct 22, 2013This experimental mix of the genres form a sound that refuses to be classified for it jumps from one genre to the next as the album progresses.Each track jumps onto you with an entirely different feel and it gives the album some texture and keeps it interesting for the listener, because you don't know what's going to happen next. Alt-J is a different band from any other and so is their sound. However since they are heavily influenced by many other genres, it will sure enough crack open a special niche in your brain, just for them. The experience after listening really is rewarding and refreshing, like an awesome wave. It's not for everyone, but open up to them and you'll be pretty damn glad you did. Underneath all the convoluted composition, is a vibrant, pure personality begging to be heard.… Expand
Nov 17, 2013Perfect combination of smart lyrics, great music, and unique sound. It opens up nicely with the Intro and "Ripe & Ruin" before taking me into deep pleasure with "Tesselate" and the quirky "Breezeblocks". The album has been out for a year now and I am nowhere near bored. "Fitzpleasure" and "Matilda" have been my latest obsession, though. This is definitely a tremendous effort for a debut album. "An Awesome Wave" is actually the only album that has been played more than 1,000 times on my media player. It's just way too addictive.… Expand
Apr 15, 2014From Ars Nova to Dubstep in one album. Alt-J offers a very refreshing approach to music.
Firmly roted in european musical tradition at the same time exploring brand new territories.
Yet "An Awesome Wave" doesn't feel weird at all, I simply can't get enough of it.
Jul 12, 2012Although 'An Awesome Wave' not perfect, Alt-J have managed to blend together the abrasive synths, "nerdy" attitude and delicate instrumentation effectively. However, lead singles 'Breezeblocks' and 'Fitzpleasure' dominate the attention paid to this album and feel so much bigger and better than some of the fillers.
Jan 3, 2014An Awesome Wave has a lot going on under the one roof and tries to be experimental at every turn. For the most part the record holds together well considering the ambition behind it, however there are times when it feels like there is too much going on. The record is at its strongest at its centre when it is at its most focused. For a debut record, it is very impressive in its complexity and how well this is carried off. I will be very interested to hear how they follow this up or whether they have put all their cards on the table first time round. In general it's a nicely textured record, excellently produced but at times at little unfocused in terms of direction.… Expand
Jun 18, 2012Even the intro on the album reveals the nature of the CD . Alternative rock compositions, mixed with a variety of electronic inserts and vocal filters give the songs a special character, which sometimes takes strange forms - which is evident even after a bit psychedelic a capella song "(Interlude 1)" or "Tessallate". Each composition on the disc has something innovative to offer, so that time spent on "An Awesome Wave" goes very quickly.… Expand
Jun 6, 2012One Of a best album of this year.
Simplement agréable, on y retrouve diverses influences, la voix rappelle les Fleet Foxes, bref un album entre indie rock, pop, electronic, et hip hop, où l'on retiendra Alt-J.
Sep 23, 2014An Awesome Wave is an awesome album. This is because it both has songs, like Breezeblocks and Fitzpleasure, that can stand alone and sound great and at the same time it is able to create a nice atmospheric blend throughout the entire album
Dec 16, 2012First off, I would like to state that this album is a complete success. The lyrical talent of this band is incredible, and all of the songs have interesting meanings and almost all have "plots" of their own. From references to books, movies and common life events, this album is simply a joy to listen to. It's upbeat and quite entertaining to listen to.
Apr 10, 2013It sure is catchy, and fun on first listen, but subsequent listens reveal a lack of depth. The band has a couple of ideas that they spread out through the album. It gets old quickly, and is not something a patrician listener is likely to remember for much longer than a year.
Jul 11, 2013Alt-J's An Awesome Wave captures the essence of indie music by producing a unique, universally appealing sound. The music is smart and engaging, enough so that any fan of music should give An Awesome Wave a listen.
Sep 7, 2014Though it may lack power, the precision, emotion and cohesion this album expresses from start to end, leaves oneself satisfied and astonished. And though it may not be a master piece, this work opens the path to what certainly is a band to keep an eye on. Original and exquisitely aesthetic.
Dec 30, 2013An album and a band that have ripped off Leeds' finest, Wild Beasts, to a shameless, crass and pitiful extent. Derived tosh with no heart. They have come and gone now, but I shall not forget the brief time they managed to pull the wool over those less than astute publications' eyes. (looking at you NME!)
Jun 2, 2014An Awesome Wave definitely has some great tracks on there, but only some. And my main problems with this album were generally the vocals, which sometimes sounded a little irritating, but not always, and I found the lack of proper heart-warming strength in these tracks also a problem.
Jul 30, 2014Perfect mixture of sounds! The more I listened to this album the more I love it. This album is so amazing! If you are one of those people who just don't care, if you listen to anything different, unique, spontaneous, then Alt-J is the band for you, that´s why I LOVE IT!!!
Sep 11, 2014At times disjointed, uniquely alien, yet in retrospect beautifully harmonious, the incredible depth and breadth of An Awesome Wave peel away in layers to reveal its many shades with every listen. Truly an achievement.
Sep 23, 2014An Awesome ALBUM, simply stunning.... Incredible and innovative sound, and the choirs are just perfect.
Easily the best indie album of 2012. A Masterpiece, 10/10
Oct 6, 2014The first song i ever heard by Alt-J was Breezeblocks. I was instantly hooked. I started off listening to a few of their songs including Tessellate, Fitzpleasure, Something Good, and Taro. Now i listen to the entire album and enjoy every second of it. From the moment i first heard them, I knew that they would be my favorite band. That will never change.
Mar 13, 2013Alt-J crafts an ethereal ocean of sound that's remarkably cohesive-at once strange and familiar.
Feb 26, 2013This Leeds-to-Cambridge foursome's unhurried electro-mesh is always more than pleasant and half the time mildly enthralling.
Nov 20, 2012An Awesome Wave washes over its beached listeners, pleasantly cooling them for a second, then making its retreat back into an ocean of sameness.

Oh right I was gonna ask somethin' that the English muffin thing reminded me about.....
I got curious about tea and what the rest of the world calls it. I know there's special named teas like earl grey and jasmine and whatnot....... but in America, tea is tea. There's no special name for it. It's just a brown tea (do it yourself tea is powder not in bags) that tastes really heavy and coats the tongue on its own, but we sweeten it up (maybe put in some lemon flavor) and it may or may not be referred to as sweet tea. But do other countries have this kind of tea? What do they call it? The same tea is acceptable hot or cold. It's like an all purpose tea........ We have no class when it comes to tea.....

Love love love this colour. At first I was a bit hesitant with this colour since I tend to wear either nudes, pinks or reds to work - but I tried it and fell in love. I find black to be too harsh on my skin tone and for this office so I've always shied away from dark colours but I think Lincoln park after dark is the most beautiful colour and has made me rethink dark vampy colours. It is the most beautiful dark purple berry black which looks so classy in the sunlight and in general. I got this as part of the opi top ten set and I can totally understand now why it it is one of opis most popular colours. If you aren't a fan of dark colours, I think this colour is the perfect introduction. I would repurchase again for sure.

Love Love Love it . Looks great with almost any outfit Looks AMAZING on pale skin. Would buy over and over again, Wearabilty very good even after washing the pots!
Not that the clever names of nail polishes impact my buying decisions (okay, who am I kidding... the names are half the fun), the fact that this NP is a nod to Chicago automatically makes it awesome.
The thin, darm, creamy formula is perfect for weeks when I want to feel edgy, but not shimmery. I don't like dark polishes that have shimmer. It makes me feel like Miley Cyrus going through a goth phase. This polish feels more sophisticated. It's REALLY dark, though. Lots of people think it is black. Totally not though. At least I can tell the difference. And let's be real, I'm wearing it for me, anyway.
Two coats. Really thin. Chips pretty fast. Double up on tips and top coat, for sure. A good top coat.
Completely obsessed with this color. It looks black at night and a dark purple under lights or the sun. Such a great color for Fall and Winter.

I hardly ever choose the same polish colors when I have a manicure at the salon, but I have picked this shade the last three times I've had my nails done. I agree with other reviewers that while this is a dark color, it doesn't look overly goth or vampy. I think because of the slight violet/deep purple undertone, it takes away the harshness of the dark midnight black shade. It's perfect for everyday wear and daring enough for dressy evening looks. I found a great drugstore dupe for this, Loreal's Breaking Curfew that I use when I do my nails at home.

This is a staple color in my collection, I love it. I would rate this higher than Essie's 'Wicked' mostly because I love OPI brushes.
This color looks gorgeous on toes when wearing peep-toe shoes! Also, great on short nails. Very vampy though, so I would not wear this color on long nails.
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
What can I say about this polish that hasn't already been said? It's the greatest. The formula is a dream, and it dries so, so shiny. It resists chipping. It flatters all skin tones. Sometimes it looks black, but it's NOT black.. it's so much more interesting than that. It's that intense purplish color that so many polishes try for, but it doesn't yellow your nails like so many competitors. I get so many compliments on this color when I wear it. It's my go-to winter pedicure color.

My favorite polish color of all time. Really dark purple but not black. Flattering on all skin tones. Resists chipping. I also love Essie Wicked, but it chips quickly
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The first OPI polish I bought. (I was given yoga-ta try this blue as a gift so that doesn't count.) I was never into dark vampy colours but there's just something about this shade. It's absolutely gorgeous, perfect for fall. But I can see myself wearing this throughout the year. I loved it so much, I even wore it for my birthday. This colour adds a certain je ne sais quoi. :)
Gorgeous, deep, dark plum creme; it has no shimmer or glitter.. Very, very dark but has just enough plum to not be black. This polish applies so smoothly with no dragging or streaking--none at all. It dries quickly and is glossy. It's easy to see why it's such a favorite. It is really a flattering color for being so dark (I have very fair, cool-toned skin).
