Have you read the first Assassin's Creed 3 game details?
No wrist-blade? Fake George Washington? Female assassins? The Assassin's Creed 3 announcement trailer is full of awesome CG, which appears to tell a simple story of new hero Connor killing off a few British soldiers and watching a battle.
Look a little deeper, though, and it not only provokes a whole series of questions about the game, it also offers up clues about combat, story, character progression, weaponry, historical context and so much more. Rewatch the trailer here, then read on for CVG's analysis below...
If only there was some clue in this opening scene as to where and when the game will be set. Oh, there it is. So, 1777... It's the middle of the US Revolutionary War, and the Mohawk valley (upstate New York) is at the heart of the conflict. Interestingly, the modern portion of AC3 will also take place in upstate New York (it's the location shown at the end of Revelations) indicating a much stronger link between the Desmond and - new historical hero - Connor sections.
One more note on the timeline - Assassin's Creed 3 takes place between 1753 and 1783, so this vignette is torn from the middle of the game. Sounds obvious, but expect Connor to have his younger and older years, just like Assassin's 2. Here, he's mid-life...
Enemies? Obviously it's the British, as they're the bad guys in just about everything. Ubisoft have gone on record to say "not all English are evil" in Assassin's 3, but they're certainly the baddies here.
Images fade into Animus style wire-frame renders. It's an obvious point, but it lets us know that we'll be playing as Desmond, plugged into the Animus (the new Animus 3.0 no less). At least at the start... Don't forget, Desmond is growing increasingly closer to his ancestors via the bleeding effect. Will he need the Animus to finish his time as Connor at all?
Flashback to the previous night, and enter our hero, Connor. Interestingly, Connor is half British (his father is an Englishman), so his loyalties will be divided between not only his tribe and his parents, but also the two factions at war - the British Loyalists and the American Patriots.
Connor uses two weapons at once (he's basically Daniel Day Lewis in Last of the Mohicans). Note how his Tomahawk has the Assassin symbol in the blade. That means it's likely to be a family heirloom, and - given that his mother is the Native Indian - does that mean she was the Assassin before Connor? A female assassin you say? Hmmm...
This flashback shows off some of the combat. Ubisoft have said it'll be focused on attack (not defence and counter-kills) and the CG certainly suggests that. It's likely to follow similar button-prompts to Assassin's 2, Brotherhood and Revelations. Ubi have also said that you can chain kills and perform double-counters, a little like Batman Arkham City.

"Having read the other reviews, I decided to add a bit of baking powder to this recipe. I also used whole eggs instead of egg whites. I didn't chill the dough at all, but dropped it by the teaspoon. The results were delicious--delicate, but with a bit of rise to them. "

Burpee is offering free shipping this week-end by using the promo code LDAY13. Offer expires midnight 9/2. (I think it's okay to share this info. It benefits both the seller and buyers and I'm in no way affiliated.) Gail |
Follow-Up Postings:
good info....thankyou! |
Their website is down now, but they took the order over the phone and honored the no shipping charge promo. Thanks, John A |
BIG QUESTION: how much ?! |
Ah, seysonn, all you need is to check Burpee's site. Regardless, $5.25 for 30 seeds . Expensive, yes, but, it is a very nice selection. Shipping for a pack or two would regularly be an additional $6.95 if I remember correctly. Gail |
Offer has been extended to midnight on 9/4. |
Thank you, Gail. I've wanted to try Brandy Boy, free shipping certainly makes the purchase a bit tolerable. |
Wish they shipped to Canada. Their sister company here is out of stock. |

Lightweight, water-resistant running jacket with mesh underarm panels to vent perspiration
A motion-focused, water resistant runner's shell that helps block wind and light precipitation. Mesh venting under the arms helps regulate body heat, and the women's specific patterning offers a trim fit with maximum freedom of movement. Reflective blazes improve visibility in low light, and a slight drop hem protects the lower back area. The jacket compactly stows into its own pocket.
Lumin™ 100% nylon fabric is hyperlight but with exceptional strength for its weight. The 20D ripstop is tear resistant, windproof, breathable and has a DWR treatment to help shed light precipitation.
Running is dynamic; your whole body is moving, so freedom of movement is built into the jacket. Articulated elbows bend with your arm to keep cuffs from riding up. Gusseted underarms and a slight drop in the hem help prevent gaps when your reach is extended.
Using innovative patterning, premium materials and a disciplined commitment to only essential features, every possible step was taken to shed weight. At only 105 g (3.7 oz) the jacket provides coverage and performance without slowing you down. Complete your cool weather system with a long sleeve Ensa top and the Cita ¾ Tight.
- Machine wash in warm water (30°C).
- Do not use fabric softener.
- Hang to dry.
- Do not iron.

Know Your Lore TFH Edition: Elune is a naaru, page 3 {WoW}
May 3rd 2010 9:24AM @Anne:
This is a firm and interesting theory that clears much of the puzzling moments at the point where Night Elven history and Tauren mythology connects.
What started bothering me right from the middle of the article is that you avoid implying the fact of Naaru can be corrupted and transform into beings not-so-pure anymore...
And this transformation has been witnessed by players who have encountered darkened K'ure at Osh'gun, visions of D'ore in Auchindon and finally Mu'ru at the Sunwell Plateau. As far as I remember there is much speculation that such transformation (possibly reversible, considering the D'ore -Ashbringer lore) might be a part of Naaru life cycle.
Haven't you thought that the Sundering itself or even the prior actions of the Highborne could have corrupted the Naaru E'lune, implying that she (or it) held her residence right at the Sunwell itself? It might be still there, deep beneath the Maelstrom, surrounded by Queen Azshara and her naga, now in its dark form...

GEEE babe, i wonder why?? it almost took out my hubs, my unborn child and me in the process. i boil huge things of water and take a bath, if i ABSOLUTELY have to. so guess what talla got for christmas from her grandma?? just guess???? ok i'll tell ya, geeze!! she got all the princess's in the barbie form. how crazi is that? and tabor got shooting set, and when he's done, he hits the middle one and then it resets itself. now that is way too awesome! she also got a ring/necklace/bracelet in her birthstone set. now this will be interesting to see what my mom comes up with, besides mariposa barbie, she got two of them so her and casy can play together. that was nice. my mom asked me what i want. i said an aero garden.

Medo, we have the long lighter, and I follow directions. No go. I think it's our bifocals, LOL! I will try again tomorrow, it was too darned cold out there today. I also have a neighbor who works on stuff like that, so I will contact him....hey, he wants me to fix his computer, maybe we can trade! Carolyn, in our early camping days, back in the 60s when we didn't have all the luxuries in our RVs that we have today, I kept a small blow-up kiddie pool in the pickup camper, and Mr. H had the job of blowing it up and heating water for my bath! I just put it on the floor, filled it up, locked the husband and kids out and enjoyed! Too bad we don't have our motor home down here any more, I could always use that shower. I spent the entire day playing with my new seed packets! Will post in a separate thread. Granny |

Saudi Arabia's highest Islamic authority said no Christian churches should be allowed in the Arabian Peninsula.
Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah, the Saudi grand mufti, said it is "necessary to destroy all the churches in the region."
The sheikh was responding to a question by a delegation from Kuwait asking about a Kuwaiti parliamentarian's call to remove all churches there.
Abdullah cited an Islamic hadith quoting the prophet Mohammed on his deathbed, who said, "there are not to be two religions in the [Arabian] Peninsula," meaning only Islam can exist there.
Later the sheikh clarified his remark, saying that "Kuwait was a part of the Arabian Peninsula and therefore it is necessary to destroy all churches in it."
Christianity is forbidden in Saudi Arabia and there are no churches there.
Other nations included in the Arabian Peninsula are Yemen, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates.

Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command
The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (often referred to as JPAC) is a joint task force within the United States Department of Defense (DOD) whose mission is to account for Americans who are listed as Prisoners Of War (POW), or Missing In Action (MIA), from all past wars and conflicts. It has been especially visible in conjunction with the Vietnam War POW/MIA issue. The mission of the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command is to achieve the fullest possible accounting of all Americans missing as a result of the nation's past conflicts.[1] The motto of JPAC is "Until they are home".
JPAC is a standing direct reporting unit within the United States Pacific Command. Its headquarters is located at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii.
JPAC maintains three permanent overseas detachments, two local detachments, the JPAC CONUS Annex, Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, and the European Liaison Office located on Miesau Army Depot, Germany; all devoted to the ongoing tasks of POW/MIA accounting. Each detachment is under the command of a field grade officer of the United States armed forces.
- Detachment 1 – Bangkok, Thailand (American Embassy in Thailand)[2]
- Detachment 2 – Hanoi, Vietnam[3]
- Detachment 3 – Vientiane, Laos
- Investigation and Recovery Group – Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Oahu, Hawaii; this group is the home base of the recovery teams when they are not deployed
- HQ Detachment – Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Oahu, Hawaii; this detachment is responsible for the day to day administrative operation of the command
- JPAC CONUS Annex - Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska; the JCA performs routine anthropological and odontological analysis in order to identify unaccounted-for service members.
- European Liaison Office - Miesau Army Depot, Germany; helps facilitate the planning, execution, logistical and administrative support for all Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command operations in the European Command area of responsibility.
- The laboratory portion of JPAC is referred to as the Central Identification Laboratory (CIL).
JPAC is commanded by a flag officer (formerly U.S. Army Maj. Gen Stephen D. Tom; currently U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Kelly K. McKeague (since 31 Oct 2012)). It is staffed by approximately 505 Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Department of the Navy civilians.
- 1973: The DOD established the Central Identification Laboratory–Thailand to coordinate POW/MIA recovery efforts in Southeast Asia.
- 1976: The DOD established the Central Identification Laboratory–Hawaii to search for, recover, and identify missing Americans from all previous conflicts.
- 1992: The Joint Task Force–Full Accounting (JFA-FA) was established to focus on achieving the fullest possible accounting of American missing from the Vietnam War.
- 2002: DOD determined that POW/MIA recovery efforts would be best served by combining the two Central Identification Laboratories and the Joint Task Force.
- 1 October 2003: The Joint POW/MIA Accounting command was established under the auspices of the Commander, Pacific Command (CDRUSPACOM).
JPAC's operations are divided into four areas: Analysis and Investigation, Recovery, Identification, and Closure.
Analysis and investigation[edit]
JPAC investigates leads concerning Americans who were killed in action but were never brought home. This process involves close coordination with other U.S. agencies involved in the POW/MIA issue. JPAC carries out technical negotiations and talks with representatives of foreign governments around the world in order to ensure positive in-country conditions are maintained or created for JPAC investigative and recovery operations wherever JPAC teams deploy in the world. If enough evidence is found, a site will be recommended for recovery.
JPAC has 18 Recovery Teams whose members travel throughout the world to recover missing from past wars. A typical recovery team is made up of 10 to 14 people, led by a team leader and a forensic anthropologist. Other members of the team typically include a team sergeant, linguist, medic, life support technician, forensic photographer, RF systems communications technician/operator and an explosive ordnance disposal technician. Additional experts are added to the mission as needed, such as mountaineering specialists or divers.
The team carefully excavates the site and screens the soil to locate all possible remains and artifacts. In the case of an airplane crash, a recovery site may be quite large.
Once the recovery effort is completed, the team returns to Hawaii. All remains and artifacts found during the recovery operation are then transported from a U.S. military plane to JPAC's Central Identification Laboratory.
Upon arrival at the laboratory, all remains and artifacts recovered from a site are signed over to the custody of the CIL and stored in a secure area. Forensic anthropologists carefully analyze all remains and artifacts to determine the sex, race, age at death, and stature of the individual. Anthropologists may also analyze trauma caused at or near the time of death and pathological conditions of bone such as arthritis or previous healed breaks. Lab scientists use a variety of techniques to establish the identification of missing Americans, including analysis of skeletal and dental remains, sampling mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), and analyzing material evidence, personal effects, aviation life-support equipment (gear used by aircrew: helmets, oxygen masks, harnesses, etc.), or other military equipment.
Often, recovered military and personal equipment artifacts are forwarded to the USAF Life Sciences Equipment Laboratory (LSEL, located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, in Dayton, OH), for advanced scientific and historical analysis. The LSEL (a highly unique scientific facility within the US and the world) is singularly qualified to scientifically study recovered military equipment artifacts and determine critical forensic aspects, to include, but not limited to: number of unaccounted for personnel represented at the loss site (i.e. 2 aviators), branch of military service represented (i.e. Navy), vehicle type represented (i.e. F-4 aircraft type), time frame represented (i.e. c. 1967), and represented levels of non-survivability or survivability (i.e. any evidence of fatal/non-fatal status). Frequently, the LSEL is able to provide crucial case determinations (through analysis of recovered equipment artifacts) when other critical evidence (such as human remains: bone or teeth) is not recovered or available, and/or does not yield any substantial conclusions through testing (i.e. DNA testing).
The recovery and identification process may take years to complete. In addition to the factors previously mentioned, each separate line of evidence must be examined at the CIL (bones, teeth, and material evidence) and correlated with all historical evidence. All reports undergo a thorough peer review process that includes an external review by independent experts. Additionally, if mtDNA is part of the process, the search for family reference samples for mtDNA comparison can add a significant amount of time to the identification process. Completed cases are forwarded to the appropriate service Mortuary Affairs office, whose members personally notify next-of-kin family members.
Ongoing efforts[edit]
JPAC conducts a number of missions each year in its ongoing efforts. The missions per year for individuals missing for each war:
- Korean War: 5 missions
- Vietnam War (including Southeast Asia): 10 missions
- World War II and the Cold War: 10 missions
In 2007 a JPAC team led by Maj. Sean Stinchon visited Iō-tō (formerly Iwo Jima)[4] to hunt for the remains of Marine Sergeant Bill Genaust. He was the Marine combat photographer (motion picture cameraman) who was standing next to Joe Rosenthal, who filmed the Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima during the World War II invasion of the island. The team identified two possible cave entrances that may contain Genaust's remains. The JPAC team hopes to return and properly search the tunnels to possibly locate the remains of Sergeant Genaust, and those of other unaccounted for Marines.[5]
2013 evaluation, reports, and investigations into JPAC[edit]
An internal JPAC report, obtained by the Associated Press in July 2013, cited JPAC's management as being inept, mismanaged, and wasteful, to the extent that it could worsen from "dysfunction to total failure". In the Associated Press story's words, the report says "the decades-old pursuit of bones and other MIA evidence is sluggish, often duplicative and subjected to too little scientific rigor". The report notes that the JPAC Command is "woefully inept and even corrupt". The report notes that in recent years the process by which the JPAC Laboratory field recovery teams gathers bones and other material useful for identifications has "collapsed" and is now "acutely dysfunctional." The report concludes that absent prompt and significant change, "the descent from dysfunction to total failure … is inevitable." It accused the Command of maintaining inadequate databases of missing personnel, relying on unreliable maps, wasting money on unnecessary and useless travel and drastically failing to achieve targets set by the U.S. Congress. It said the organization paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars to North Korea to "recover" the remains of fallen U.S. servicemen whose bodies had been planted on former battlefields, and even used as laboratory skeletons. In the report is was revealed that the average length of time for the JPAC laboratory to identify casualties increased from slightly over 4 years in 2005 to 11 years in 2011 for each set of remains that are recovered.[6]
A contrary viewpoint, expressed by author Wil S. Hylton, holds that while the command has suffered from bureaucratic tendencies, "it is flat-out wrong to dismiss the work of JPAC as a failure. For every instance in which the unit moves more slowly than it could, there are many cases where JPAC field teams have delivered answers to a family that would otherwise be lost forever."[7]
NBC News also revealed during 2013 that, for years, the U.S. government has been fabricating phony "arrival ceremonies" during which the honored dead soldiers from the former battlefields were seemingly transported to their homeland by a cargo plane, but were actually not in existence at all. In addition, being towed into adequate positions, the planes used in the ceremonies often could not fly. This was confirmed by both the Department of Defense and the JPAC team with the explanations that "part of the ceremony involves symbolically transferring the recovered remains from an aircraft" and "static aircraft are used for the ceremonies".[8][9]
Multiple government investigations into JPAC were initiated in 2013, including ongoing Congressional hearings in both the House and Senate.[8][10][11][12]

BC State Champs
By Brad Wilson | The Express-Times
Bethlehem Catholic High School surely saved the best for last in the PIAA Class AA team tournament at the Giant Center in Hershey this afternoon.
In a comprehensive and frankly awe-inspiring display of dominance in all aspects of the sport, the Golden Hawks demolished previously-unbeaten District 3 champion Boiling Springs, 52-15.
Becahi (15-0) scored the first 42 team points, opening with a pin from sophomore Zeke Moisey at 120 and never looked back. The Hawks finished with five pins against the Bubblers (24-1).
The D-11 champion Golden Hawks won their second straight PIAA Class AA title, joining Easton and Wilson as the only D-11 teams to win multiple state team crowns (Easton has 4, Wilson 2).
Bethlehem Catholic High School needed an heroic effort to exceed the expectations placed upon it at Saturday afternoon's PIAA Class AA Team Wrestling Championships, but the Golden Hawks soared above and beyond in their 52-15 victory over District 3 champion Boiling Springs.
Becahi systematically dismantled Boiling Springs in a well-planned and executed march.
Sophomore 120-pounder Zeke Moisey took the first steps on that journey — just what Becahi coach Jeff Karam wanted — in an effort to set the tone in front of the 1,792 in attendance at the final session of the tournament (which drew a record 7,210 for the three-day event).
Karam, who spent the night before working with assistant coach Brian Keller devising the lineup to defend Becahi's title, could not have been wished for a better place to start.
"When I found out where we were starting (the match), I thought 'Man, someone's looking over us,' "Karam said. "That's the perfect scenario to have that."
And Moisey did not disappoint.
"I wanted to get everybody pumped up and set the tone for the entire match," Moisey said. "Now we're looking for four (state titles), we just need to keep pushing the next two years."
The first-bout pin was the first drip in the building stream the Bubblers (23-1) were unable to dam as the Hawks rushed forward.
Carrying a 5-0 lead into the second period of his 126-pound bout, senior Zane Heller fought out of Kyle Shoop's tilt, then kept Shoop down during the final 30 seconds of the match to secure his 8-0 major decision.
Next came Randy Cruz's pin at 132 after running up a 17-4 lead over the bout's 4:40.
"It feels good because this is my senior year, it's the last year to make things happen," said a remarkably composed Randy Cruz. "Coach Karam has been my coach my whole life, and I'm just glad I got to make this a memorable year for him."
A pair of falls by Ryan Todora (145, 4:30) and Aaron Morekin (152, 3:16) followed a hard fought 4-2 decision earned by Richy Cruz at 138.
A 9-3 decision by Nick Cortopassi advanced the score to 34-0 and set the stage for Elliot Riddick, the Golden Hawk who clinched Becahi's first state title.
With a technical fall, Riddick would effectively conclude the match and send Bethlehem Catholic (15-0) home with the hardware.
Riddick took down Boiling Spring's Kyle Taylor six times in the first two periods, and while his bout victory seemed assured at 12-5, a technical fall looked anything but a guarantee.
And that's when the stream became a gusher.
His six third-period takedowns sent Riddick charging into the arms of his teammates with a 25-10 tech fall, an insurmountable 39-0 lead, and just the third AA champion to repeat, the first since Reynolds did it in 2007.
"Usually my goal out there is to pin my opponent," Riddick said. "I know come third period that if I can't pin him, just go to work, move my feet and score as many points as possible, so I just really picked it up."
Though the title was secured, Karam continued to send out wrestlers (unlike several other teams over the weekend, which forfeited once victory was achieved) appreciating the stage and the opportunity for wrestlers.
A gritty 8-2 decision by Jose Ortiz at 182 was complimented by a 13-3 major decision from 220-pounder Josh Alpha.
And as if destiny, the match that began with Moisey's pin was bookended by junior Darian Cruz's effort.
"We couldn't ask for any better start or ending," Darian Cruz said. "A great performance from our team against great opponents. We sent a message that we're not going to sleep, we're going to finish the match as we started it."
The 3:17 pin was made all the more impressive by a) that it was against state second-ranked 113 pounder Joe Byers and b) it came via a tilt.
"I know the guy's really tough, but I didn't let it stop me, I didn't let him discourage me or get in my head, I just came out and scored a couple points right away,"Darian Cruz said. "As soon as I got that first tilt, I kept readjusting and readjusting. He kept flailing away trying to get off his back and I finally just pressed to pin."
While winning a state title is impressive in its own right, winning a second consecutive crown, and doing so in the manner Becahi did, indicates there's more that meets the eye going on, that what is taking place on the mat is the result of efforts unseen by fans in meet attendance.
"The difference from last year to this year," Riddick said, "was we've been really working out in the summer as a team, not just a couple of individuals — it's been a team effort."
Randy Cruz echoed his fellow captain's sentiment.
"We work so hard in the room. You know, a lot of people just see what's on the surface. We've got kids lifting and working out throughout the summer, they didn't have to be there, they're there because they wanted to be there, they wanted to get better. These kids don't need to do that, it's summer, they're not made to do that, that's just how dedicated the wrestlers on this team are."

gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
Disorder characterized by frequent passage of gastric contents from the stomach back into the esophagus. Symptoms of GERD may include heartburn, coughing, frequent clearing of the throat, and difficulty in swallowing. It can be caused by relaxation of the muscle that connects the esophagus and the stomach, delayed emptying of the esophagus or stomach, hiatal hernia, obesity, or pregnancy. Treatment is with antacids or acid-inhibiting medications and lifestyle changes such as not eating before bedtime, avoiding acidic or fatty foods or beverages, cessation of smoking, and weight loss. Surgery may be necessary in severe cases.

Kinsey Report, Steepwater Band dish new music with local slant
By Bob Kostanczuk Post-Tribune correspondent November 27, 2013 4:52PM
Hailing from Gary, the brothers Kinsey (starting second from left) are Donald, Ralph and Kenneth. | Photo provided
If you go
What: CD-release party for Steepwater Band's "Live & Humble"
Where: Double Door, 1551 N. Damen Ave., Chicago
When: 8:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 29
Tickets: $12-$15
Special note: The Muggs and the Nick Moss Band will be supporting acts.
Details: www.steepwater.com
It's been no fewer than 14 years since the Kinsey Report served up a studio recording of its bluesy offerings.
Well, that lengthy hiatus is over with the Kinsey brothers' release of "Standing (I'll Be)" — a four-song compilation that deftly traipses from gritty blues-rock to emotive gospel.
The Gary-bred siblings are using the new music to carry on a family legacy as blues titans in the Steel City.
"It means a lot," bassist Kenneth Kinsey said of the new release on the band's RDK label. "We know we should have had a record out sooner than now."
But Kinsey added that with all "the different trials and tribulations that we've been through, we've been blessed to survive" and are "still here to do it."
Kenneth Kinsey is joined on "Standing (I'll Be)" by brothers Ralph (drums) and Donald (guitar/vocals).
Donald Kinsey was able to wallow in reggae royalty as a member of Bob Marley's band.
Also noteworthy are the roots of another group of musicians with strong Northwest Indiana ties: the Steepwater Band.
Featuring lead vocalist/guitarist Jeff Massey of Crown Point, the Steepwater Band has a CD-release party for "Live & Humble" on Friday, Nov. 29, at Double Door, one of Chicago's top nightspots for rock 'n' roll.
"We wanted to try and capture what our live show is like in a small club," Massey said in a recent phone interview.
Also scheduled to be released on vinyl as a double-record set, "Live & Humble" — according to Massey — is all about conveying how he and his bandmates "throw a little improv in there and kind of throw caution to the wind" when performing in front of audiences.
Members of the Steepwater Band built their reputation as a top-flight regional group while living in St. John for a few years.
Meanwhile, the Kinsey Report's legacy was anchored in the brothers' father, the late Lester "Big Daddy" Kinsey, a Mississippi Delta slide-guitar player who was praised by blues icon B.B. King.
Still living in Northwest Indiana, the Kinsey Report last made waves in the recording studio with the album "Smoke and Steel," released in the late 1990s by Chicago's Alligator Records.
On "Standing (I'll Be)," an extended-play EP, the Kinsey Report tips its hat to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Members Bo Diddley and John Lee Hooker with the instrumental "Boogie Diddlin' " — a chugging cut laced with Diddley's signature shuffle-rhythm licks.
"Standing (I'll Be)" is the title track which delivers the line "defeat is not an option" as fiery encouragement in the face of life's travails.
"That's a Kinsey original song," noted Kenneth Kinsey, a Merrillville resident.
"Nobody's Fault" changes the pace with a spiritual, slide-guitar feel.
"Ralph is doing the lead vocals on that one," Kenneth said.
Released to the public this fall, the EP "Standing (I'll Be)" is available on iTunes and through CD Baby's website. There is more information at www.thekinseyreportband.com on the musical journey of the Kinseys.
As for the Steepwater Band, "Live & Humble" gets officially released on Tuesday, Dec. 3.
"It was recorded at a place on the north side of Chicago called the Ace Bar," Massey said.
The album showcases Steepwater's tight, original American-roots rock, including the banging-and-clanging guitar work on "All the Way to Nowhere."
Regarding standout tracks, Massey leans toward a certain cut that was written by the band: "One of my favorites is 'High and Humble,' which is a song off our last studio record."
While the Steepwater Band takes pride in self-crafted material, it does make room on "Live & Humble" for some soulful fare from a blues great.
"We put an extended version of John Lee Hooker's 'Boom Boom' on there," Massey said.
