Wire Albums From Worst To Best
"There are those who say Wire was the best punk band ever because it broke all of the rules, didn't stick with any of the blueprints and did actually what it wanted," Colin Newman told Rolling Stone in 2013. "I just wouldn't call that punk, personally. Punk is just one of those words that's so… More »

As a matter of fact it was Lisa's review of the Asus UX32VD-DB71 that made me purchase that "guy" Could you please tell us what brand and specs of the 8GB RAM you used to replace the installed 2GB?

Top Japan, China diplomats meet on disputed islesReuters October 25, 2012, 12:10 am TWN TOKYO -- Senior Japanese and Chinese diplomats have met to discuss a dispute over East China Sea islets that both countries claim, the Japanese government said on Wednesday, underscoring willingness to talk despite a sharp deterioration in ties.
Sino-Japanese relations took a dive after the Japanese government bought the islands, called Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China, from a private Japanese owner in September, triggering violent protests and calls for boycotts of Japanese products across China. Chief Cabinet Secretary Osamu Fujimura confirmed talks between Tokyo and Beijing after domestic media reported that Japanese Vice Foreign Minister Chikao Kawai secretly met senior Chinese officials, probably including his counterpart, Zhang Zhijun, in Shanghai last week to discuss the dispute. "I am aware of the reports. That was part of the communications going on between Japan and China in various forms and at various levels," Fujimura told a regular news conference without giving details. "It just shows we are in constant contact at many levels." Following Japan's purchase of the islands, China sent fishery patrol and marine surveillance vessels to waters near the islets, raising concern that confrontation with Japanese patrol ships could escalate into a broader conflict. The row with China, the world's second-largest economy and Japan's largest trading partner, has prompted the Bank of Japan to cut its outlook for economies in the region. Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda has described Japan's security environment as tougher than ever.

Quoted from slyparrot...only A's can have aloe unless skin is a different story.?
Quoted from ironwood55
Yes, topical use of item is different than eating an item. The food list values only apply to eating an item.
Quoted from exj_jDry, frizzy hair needs a very, very light touch of oil, if you're just getting ready to go out and face the world, i.e., applied to the hair when dry. Get yourself some Rosa Rubaginosa (also called "rosa mosqueta") oil. Aubrey Organics has one, as does Oshadhi. Another great hair oil is Camellia. Either one of these can be applied to your hand - just a drop or two. Then rub it into both palms/fingers and run your hands through your hair, the under-hair first, ending with the top layer. (Add more if needed).
If you have Dr. Hauschka products in your area, there's a Neem Hair Oil that is very nice, too.
After I've washed my hair, I apply the oil, as above, to the damp hair. It's a great "leave-in conditioner". And completely natural. One ingredient. Hard to beat that. Then your hair self-dries with less frizz.
Quoted from VickiI wash only the parts of my body that "need it" on a daily basis. Then once a week or so I shower or take a bath.
Quoted from MickeyCheryl,
Can you recommend any brands of leave in conditioners. I always have a problem with product buildup on the days i don't wash my hair, anything i try just seems to dull my hair and look coated.
Quoted from VictoriaHenna works very well, if you don't have too much gray. It makes your hair very glossy and seals the hair shaft to prevent tangling. Some people say that henna is drying, but that has not been my experience.
If you choose a color that is close to or the same as your own, it should work beautifully. Also, depending on your color, there are natural substances that enhance the color. Substitute these brews for the water. All teas should be brewed 20 to 30 minutes before using.
Chamomile enhances blonde and gold tones in Neutral, Blonde or Marigold Blonde Henna.
Coffee tones down red tones, deepens brown-red tones and covers gray. Use brewed, not instant coffee. After brewing, bring to a boil and then cool down and mix as directed.
Ceylon or Black Tea adds gold highlights to light brown henna.
Red Zinger Tea enriches red tines in Burgunday, Sherry, Mahogany and red Henna.
Apple Cider Vinegar helps to hold color on grey hair. Add 2 Tb to henna mixture
Lemon Juice lightens blonde shades. Add 2 Tb. to mixture
Different shades of Henna can be blended together. For example: 3/4C Mahogany + 1/4 dark Brown = Dark Auburn
For excessively dry hair, add 1 beaten egg, 2 to 4 Tb. olive oil, or 2 to 4 Tb. plain yogurt to the Henna mixture.
Quoted from VictoriaIf you decide to go with an actual dye instead of henna, those are available in good natural foods stores. I am sure that those cover grey. But why don't you start with henna as long as you don't have much grey.
Henna is not considered a dye. It is a cellophane type of plant material that coats each hair shaft with either a neutral or a colored layer. It takes a few weeks to gradually wear off. It does not penetrate the hair like dye does. It is not damaging to hair like repeated dying is.
My daughter and I do our own henna. Several of our natural foods stores sell it in bulk, so we can scoop out as much as we want. It is cheaper than the pre-packaged. Although you can buy boxes of henna if you'd rather. It's not hard to do, just a little messy. If you decide to do it yourself, let me know and I'll walk you through it. :-)
How long is your hair, and what color is it?
Quoted from slyparrotMy hairdresser refuses to use henna and says it's horrible. She said one of her client's hair melted off with the rollers after a perm because there was henna in the hair. Henna is tricky with chemicals.
I have called a few places in the yellow pages and no one does henna! I wanted to get henna highlights with the foil thing. My hair is med brown in the winter and light brown in the summer. I just purchased light brown by Light Mountain. Ever use it? Maybe I'll be brave and try to do this in a couple of days. One of the web sites had people saying their hair turned bright orangy red after the 1st application but corrected after the 2nd application. Yikes!
So what happens if I brighten the henna with chamomile tea? Will it make me orange? I read somewhere on the net to use green tea for light brown/blonde and coffee for dark hair.???
Quoted from slyparrotGood websites! It looks like the same thing in a different package. Does henna stink? I was surprised to see henna incense after reading about how it stinks.
My hair is natural.....no color or perms. I also read that adding heat to henna will bring out red tones. What do you use to apply it with? A paintbrush?
Back in college, I wanted to darken my hair from standard blonde to dirty blonde. The change made my hair green! The hairdressers had to bleach it vixon blonde to get the green out and even then the ends would start to turn green as it grew out which demanded frequent haircuts. That was my only mess up and it was a good one. Like you said, we are not eager to mess it up again!
Quoted from plhartlessI've used Naturtint. It isn't a henna. Henna is healthy, but messy and it does interact with other chemicals and can go just a little green.
Naturtint works just like a regular OTC hair color. I've used the dark brown (chestnut, maybe?): the dark brown is really dark at first, but it's great and natural looking, and it fades so nicely and naturally that I didn't even realize it until 3 months later when I thought "wow, no roots. When did I do my hair last?" It is available at my HFS and online. Green box.
Quoted from slyparrot
Has anyone heard of henna turning the hair green?
Quoted from jayney-Ohmmmmm, Victoria, you have hair like mine....I was wondering what to do with mine as it short and I fear the henna would tend toward flattening it. If it were long, it might be nicer....I am about to try something natural, don't know what as I have had it (what do they call it now...not frosted, not tipped, but....whatever)...I like to go lighter, but can't really do naturally.....
so still pondering and thankful forr your ideas....tho I just popped into this thread....
Quoted from Victoria
Here's something I have to share. I have starting cleaning my face with Jojoba Oil. I remember back in the 70's when it came into the natural foods stores, it was advertised to remove eye make up. So I thought, why not try it as a full face cleaner. So what I do is gently massage it into my face morning and night. Then apply a hot, wet face cloth to my face for a minute, and then I use the same cloth to gently wash off the jojoba oil. It's the only thing I've used to clean my face with for the past month, and my skin has never felt softer and cleaner.
Quoted from outdoordrea
My hair is fine, but I have a lot of it. After shampooing, I've been rinsing my hair with a mix of apple cider vinegar to water (ratio of 1:5), and it really brings out the body and shine! I do it once per week. Make sure to rinse it out really well, though.
Quoted from slyparrot
I have bumps on my upper arms that never went away! What is it?
Quoted from WhimsicalApparently these bumps are called Keratosis Pilaris, here is a website.
Quoted from ValerieI also have those little bumps all over my arms. I suspected dry skin, but over the counter lotions never helped much. I will try the jojoba oil.
Quoted from ValerieDoes your hair smell bad after you use the vinegar rinse?
Quoted from slyparrotBoy-Howdy! I have not been on this thread in a long time and did not go back to skim thru it like RedLilac. Anywho, some of my hair problems (itchy head, bumps, residue, frizz) were from using hair products that contained gluten. Gluten free shampoo/conditioner has made my hairy scalp much better. Okay, maybe being on a better diet helped too! :)

Alice Smith (born 1978) is an American singer and songwriter, her style anchored in rock, R&B, blues, jazz and soul.
Life and career[edit]
Raised between Washington, D.C. and a farm in Georgia, she sang in Moomtez and Black Rock Coalition while studying History at Fordham University. Releasing her first album in 2006, and Rolling Stone said of her, "Smith could easily be lumped in with expressive chanteuses like Norah Jones and Alicia Keys, but she has a broader palette than either." The magazine listed her as one of the 10 Artists to Watch in 2006.[1]
Her debut album, For Lovers, Dreamers & Me, was a collection of songs spanning genres from country to rock to funk. The title was borrowed from the Muppets. "We were just trying to think of a title because I haven't thought of a name after it was all done," she said in an interview with Hiphoprnbsoul.com. "We were thinking about the music and we were throwing ideas around. We were thinking about The Beatles and The Wizard of Oz and whatever else made us think of. Then something made me think of The Muppets. I don't even know. It wasn't something in the forefront of my mind. I just thought of it and it came to me like that."[2]
The song "Dream" was featured on an episode of Entourage (season four) during the closing credits. "Dream" was also featured in the final act of episode four, season five, of the Showtime series The L Word ("Let's Get This Party Started"). In 2007, she was nominated for a Grammy Award under the Best Urban/Alternative category. However, the fall-out from pressure of the success of her debut release, meant that future recordings were shelved. Becoming a mother, Smith relocated from New York to Los Angeles, California.[3]
In 2011, she collaborated with Aloe Blacc to contribute the track "Baby" to the Red Hot Organization's most recent charitable album Red Hot + Rio 2. The album is a follow-up to the 1996 Red Hot + Rio. Proceeds from the sales will be donated to raise awareness and money to fight AIDS/HIV and related health and social issues.
Her second album, She was released in March 2013.[3]
Personal life[edit]
Smith has one child with recording artist Citizen Cope. [4]

Geometry, especially the notion of the "tilted square", plays a mathematical as well as a spiritual role in the ambitious project undertaken in this novel. According to the author, "The protagonist aims to build his project for a live, global information grid according to geometric principles that replicate those found in nature, according to the theories of Donald E. Ingber (see his article entitled The Architecture of Life, in The New Scientist) and of R. Buckminster Fuller."
You can read more about the notion of the "tilted square" at Vermeer's Riddle Revealed. However, I find this whole notion very unconvincing. Mathematicians are, by nature, quite skeptical. At least in our professional lives, we are not supposed to believe claims without a convincing proof. In this case, I must say that I am not convinced. I seriously doubt that the classical artists made use of it, and strongly suspect that it would be possible to "find" such a tilted square in any sufficiently complicated picture by choosing the lines and points appropriately. |

Retailers are under attack from a new wave of low-tech, hightech criminals. These second-generation cyber-criminals are not necessarily the genius-hacker-types popularized by Hollywood in tag lines such as "Log on. Hack in. Go anywhere. Steal everything."1 This new generation of cyber-criminal merely combines a rudimentary knowledge of the digital data collection/ storage processes used by retailers with a basic understanding of human psychology. Nevertheless, the result of the new low-tech criminal activity is that retailers are losing millions of dollars in revenue every year, and losing hard-won brand credibility when such activity adversely affects customers.

Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which one bone of the spinal column (vertebra) slips forward over another. This is caused by a deformity or weakening in part of a vertebra.
This condition results in a misalignment of the vertebrae. In some instances, this may lead to spinal cord or nerve root compression, back pain, and numbness or weakness in the legs.
Certain types of athletes (particularly weight lifters, football players, gymnasts, and javelin throwers) are at increased risk for developing this defect, as are Inuit (Eskimos).
A doctor diagnoses spondylolisthesis from a person's symptoms and the results of imaging tests, such as X-rays or an MRI.
Treatment usually includes a combination of bracing, exercises and stretching, and pain medicine. Sometimes surgery is also needed.

Bachelor Host Chris Harrison Reveals Big Wedding Plans!
Chris Harrison, everyone, he's a romantic. And you have to be, hosting The Bachelor and The Bachelorette for so long. In our imaginations, the ordained host with the most strolls the streets in search of lost souls who just need a few roses in their lives. Regardless of how Harrison spends his days (we're not ones to judge, pal), we at least know where he's going to be on the first day of 2014 — at a wedding. Chris has partnered with Farmers Insurance for their Picture Perfect Weddings contest. Basically, couples from all over can compete to get married atop the Farmers Insurance Love Float in the 2014 Rose Parade (how fitting) during the Rose Bowl festivities. Three couples will get hitched on high, with Herr Harrison officiating their vows. But that's not all, according to the Farmers statement, "Once chosen, our three finalist couples will participate in a series of wedding and life planning competitions, where they'll learn first-hand how smarter planning can help make their dreams come true." And what does the lucky numero uno couple win? 25 grand. The couples also get round trip airfare and hotel accommodations, a wedding dress from Alfred Angelo, a tuxedo from Friar Tux for the groom, wedding bands, hair and makeup did, two tickets to the Rose Bowl, a romantic five-night honeymoon in the Cook Islands, and — of course — a one-year supply of roses. Which, if you're anything like Chris, is a lot. For details on how to win, check out Farmers Insurance's Picture Perfect Weddings page, and who knows — you and your man could me saying "I do" inches from Chris's perfectly coiffed 'do.

Budget cuts will force later opening at Yellowstone
Virginia Democratic Sen. Mark Warner, in his talk at the James and Louise McClure Center for Public Policy symposium on the debt Tuesday, recalled the movie Blazing Saddles as he talked about what Congress did to itself with the upcoming $85 billion sequestration cuts.
It was the scene where the sheriff put his gun to his head and says "next man moves, the sheriff gets it" (though the character Bart said something worse than sheriff)
Former Sen. Alan Simpson said people can expect to wait in the security line longer at airports due to what he called "painful, disruptive," cuts. Sen. Mike Crapo said he expected the cuts to go into effect March 1.
The Coalition of National Park Service Retirees released information Wednesday they got that says Yellowstone National Park will delay spring road opening operations inside the park and to the west, south, east, and northeast entrances.
That will help them meet the targeted 5 percent cuts by reduced or delayed seasonal hiring, extended unpaid furloughs for employees, and reduced operating expenses including fuel, equipment and maintenance. Excess to the park will be delayed two to three weeks keeping out more than 78,000 visitors, most who will come from neighboring states. It also is expected to reduce park fee revenue by more than $150,000 and reduce income for concessionaires and surrounding community businesses who can use every dime during the shoulder season.
At Grand Teton National Park they will close the Jenny Lake Visitor Center, the Laurence S. Rockefeller Preserve, and the Flagg Ranch Visitor Contact Station, for the summer season affecting over 300,000 visitors. The Grand Teton Association will lose $225,000 in sales revenue as a result of the closures, the coalition said.
I still can't get the specifics for Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve but they depend on seasonal employees and will have to meet the same goal.
Similar cuts are expected at other parks.
Glacier National Park will delay opening the Going-to-the-Sun Road by two weeks, the only road which provides access to the entire park. Grand Canyon National Park will delay opening the East and West Rim Drives and reduce hours of operation at the main Grand Canyon Visitor Center. Yosemite National Park will delay the opening of the Tioga and Glacier Point roads by up to four weeks.

Emerson Boozer (born July 4, 1943) is a former running back in the American Football League and in the NFL. In the last year of separate drafts by the AFL and the NFL, Boozer signed with the AFL's New York Jets, rather than with an NFL team. He played his entire professional career with the Jets. Boozer was a member of the Jets team that defeated the NFL's champion Baltimore Colts, 16-7, in Super Bowl III. Before joining the American Football League, Boozer played college football at the Maryland State College, which is now the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.
Early life[edit]
Boozer's natural athletic ability came to the attention of football coaches at Lucy Laney High School in Augusta, Georgia. Despite his proven talent there, football scholarships were not widely offered to the black star. Boozer excelled as well at the college level, where he showed open field ability as a back as well as strength and intensity as a player that exceeded his 5'11 190-pound size.
Professional career[edit]
Not widely sought by the NFL, Boozer was drafted by the Jets, who were assembling a team of talented and enthusiastic players under George Sauer Sr. and Wilbur ' Weeb ' Ewbank. The team already had fullback Matt Snell and figured Boozer to be paired with him at halfback. Sharing the job with Bill Mathis as a rookie, Boozer worked hard and became a starter in 1967. His ability to block with intensity earned him a league-wide reputation.
In 1967, with Snell injured, the Jets turned to Boozer as a rusher. In the first half of that season, Boozer displayed talent that drew comparisons to Gale Sayers. He often broke tackles and excelled in the open field. He had ten touchdowns by mid-season and appeared ready to easily surpass the league record. But Boozer then suffered a devastating knee injury against Kansas City that completely altered his career. Despite playing just half that year, he still led the AFL in rushing touchdowns for the season.
Boozer's work ethic further revealed itself over the next two seasons. No longer a breakaway runner, he changed himself into more of an outstanding blocker and goal-line touchdown scorer. Jets coach Wilbur 'Weeb' Ewbank utilized Boozer in pass blocking schemes then new to football. In blocking for both Snell and Joe Namath, Boozer was part of two outstanding teams that narrowly lost just three games in 1968 and went 10-4 in 1969. He still rated AFL All-Star status. That's Boozer and Winston Hill laying devastating blocks on Baltimore Colt defenders during Matt Snell's famous touchdown run in Super Bowl III. Boozer's blocking freed Snell often that day for effective running that was key to the legendary 16-7 win.
Namath turned to Boozer more as a third-down pass catcher in 1970. In 1971, with Snell down again, Boozer took up the slack with a career high in carries.
In 1972, with Joe Namath back from injuries himself, the Jets rated the top offense in football. Boozer's ability to block and score near the goal line impressed many as he led the NFL in rushing touchdowns for most of the year before injuries stopped him with 11 touchdowns in 11 games.
In 1973, he was again the main back with 831 yards rushing before taking a spot next to John Riggins in 1974. Boozer scored the first regular-season over-time ("sudden death") touchdown in NFL history on a short pass from Joe Namath in 1974 to beat the cross-town rival New York Giants, beginning an improbable six-game winning streak for the previously 1-7 Jet squad.
Boozer was a player who made the most of limited opportunities early on. When injury robbed him of stardom, he reinvented himself and still had a remarkable career as a key contributor to a set of famous Jets teams.
Boozer is a member of The Pigskin Club Of Washington, D.C. National Intercollegiate All-American Football Players Honor Roll. In 2010, he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.

Emerson Boozer also had an homage by Adam Sandler in the movie Big Daddy where Sandler sported a "Boozer" Jets jersey as a double entendre meaning he's a "Booze-hound" as well as a long time New York Jets devotee.
In the episode "Coda" of The Wonder Years, Doug Porter plays the role of Emerson Boozer in a street football game.

PGA Tour Event Seeks Sponsor After Verizon Declines To Renew
Published April 20, 2010
The '10 PGA Tour Verizon Heritage, which concluded Sunday, marked the "end of contracts with the PGA Tour, Sea Pines Resort and title sponsor Verizon Business," but while the PGA Tour and Sea Pines are "expected to agree to new deals as soon as possible," the event has yet to find a replacement title sponsor, according to Nathan Dominitz of the SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS. The "search has been on since September for a replacement" for Verizon, and the "hope was one would be found before this week." Verizon had been the "main sponsor covering" the tournament's annual overhead of $7-8M, and the Heritage Classic Foundation "has pledged, if need be, to cover costs for 2011." Golfer Brian Gay: "It's one of the best tournaments on tour, so I think somebody will come through" (SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS, 4/19). In South Carolina, Cassie Foss noted Tournament Dir Steve Wilmot and other officials "put out the call to the community that has supported the event since it was first staged Thanksgiving weekend of 1969." Wilmot: "The tournament is so important to the community and the state, and we're going to do everything we can to keep it here." Jim Furyk, who won this year's event, is "one of the top 10 players in the world," and Wilmot said, "Hopefully a new sponsor will wrap their arms around that. There's been a lot of interest and we're going to keep the momentum going" (Hilton Head ISLAND PACKET, 4/19).
OFFERING THEIR HELP: In Augusta, John Boyette noted the South Carolina Legislature "voted in March to provide a $10[M] loan for the tournament next year -- the money would come out of the state's insurance reserve fund -- but PGA Tour officials say that won't be necessary." PGA Tour Exec VP & COO Rick George: "It's very much appreciated, but I don't think we will need that. I don't want to go in that direction; we think the business center is the right way to address the title sponsorship of this event. That's what we intend to do." Golfer Davis Love III: "It's just such an iconic tournament. If we didn't have such a bad economy, it would be one people would be standing in line for." Golfer Charles Howell III said of the event, "I think everyone is paying attention to what happens here. I don't think there's anyone that doesn't want this tournament to be kept" (AUGUSTA CHRONICLE, 4/17).

Need help with my first snowboard
I'm a 6"3 tall guy. I weigh 205 lbs. I have size 12 boots. Now I need some opinons on a good board that I can buy. I've been snowboarding since I was 12 years old and now I'm 22. So I guess I'm an average snowboarder. I want a allround board that I can use all over the mountain, in the pist, park etc. But it will mainly be used in the pist and park (about 75% pist and 25% park). One of my friends said that maybe a Bathaleon The Jam 161cm would suit me. I don't know. I appreciate all the help I can get. Cheers Rikard |

WebMD (NASDAQ: WBMD ) recently announced a repurchasing of 5.5 million shares from Carl Icahn and affiliates for a total of $177.3 million, a move that came as the company stabilizes its future outlook..
The leading health portal in the U.S., WebMD provides free medical information online for patients and health care providers, pulling revenue from advertising and sponsorship. Its prominence among patients is relatively unchallenged as the company has successfully branded itself to be synonymous with reliable medical content, responsible for websites WebMD Health, Medscape, MedicineNet, eMedicine, eMedicine Health, RxList, theheart.org, and Medscape Education. Anecdotally, many practitioners routinely use WebMD content for patient education and patients often enter their doctors' offices with information and questions from WebMD.
While the company seems to have turned a corner, its history has long been plagued by uncertainty. When Icahn initially invested in late 2011, WebMD lost nearly half its value within six months and was reportedly in talks with private equity firms to sell itself. They were reportedly riddled with operational inefficiencies and underwent serious cost-cutting measures -- layoffs, restructuring, changes in management. FDA regulations on advertising have tightened for health consumer websites, and Google retooled its search algorithms earlier this year, impacting the ranking of several of the company's consumer sites. The company reported a loss of $1.54 million in the first quarter of this year due to some of those factors, although the second quarter brought the company back to net profits with quarterly earnings of $0.05 per share and revenue of $125.30 million, surpassing consensus estimates.
The buyback may signal an increased confidence from the new management in the value of the company; its projected normalized earnings per this year is $0.92, and shares have doubled already.
Patient-centered vs. provider-centered
From a clinician's perspective, WebMD is unrivaled in its dominance for patient education. Few other sites are as pervasive as WebMD's arsenal, although there are a couple notable, privately held ankle-biters. Among them, Sharecare.com is certainly worth noting, touted as a comeback for WebMD founder Jeffrey Arnold and media personality Dr. Oz.
Nonetheless, WebMD's major competitors come as it tries to expand beyond a health portal for patients. UpToDate by Wolters Kluwer occupies a similar space as WebMD, but for health care providers. It is largely used and accepted as the primary source for fast, evidence-based clinical information; while primarily for providers, it does have a certain amount of content free to patients. To that regard, it may overlap with WebMD but its profit model is dependent largely on subscription fees rather than advertising.
Similarly, Epocrates, recently acquired by athenahealth (NASDAQ: ATHN ) , developed the self-named leading medical application among physicians in the US. The company specializes in providing information through handheld devices, its main application a widely used drug reference for clinicians with basic information, dosages, interactions and pictures. It also includes tools such as provider directories, symptom searches, calculators and tables. The company also receives revenue from subscription fees, as well as pharmaceutical sponsorship.
Athenahealth's acquisition of Epocrates itself validated the value of the mobile health company. Athena, known for its role in cloud-based medical records and tools, certainly has the network of physicians to further spread Epocrates' success.
WebMD is hardly yielding the mobile medical space, however. Already with several mobile applications under its belt, WebMD is making significant headway into wireless digital health. Earlier this year, WebMD and digital giant Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM ) partnered to create Health Cloud, a cloud-based system for patients to store mobile health data. While this begins to fall into the scope of Athena's domain of cloud-based services, WebMD continues to enter it from a patient-based, not provider-based angle, possibly avoiding any direct competition.
Qualcomm's partnership with WebMD certainly throws significant weight behind the smaller corporation. Qualcomm Life, the subsidiary of Qualcomm responsible for its expansion into the health space, is also independently expanding its mobile health products, recently launching 2net Hub API and Software Development Kid, which allow partners to integrate their health care devices into the Qualcomm's library.
The prognosis
Digital pharma in the U.S. is burgeoning as incentives to transition to electronic records and mobile medicine spur a rush to catch medicine up to the rest of society, technologically. WebMD is rebounding from years of poor performance on the stock market and is very much enjoying its position as premier health portal for patients. However, it historically faced significant operational challenges. Nonetheless, WebMD has surpasses most consensus estimates in this past quarter, has a serious partnership with wireless giant Qualcomm, and does not seem to have a direct competitor catching up yet. These factors may make the $177.3 million buyback from Icahn a possible signal that it is putting its money where its mouth is.

Historical Traveler Reviews Sheraton Saigon Hotel & Towers Ho Chi Minh City
We loved this hotel
We stayed in Ho Chi Minh for 4 days and our stay in this Sheraton was excelllent. We stay 100 nights a year away and Sheraton and Asia seems an excellent combination.
The rooms were wonderful, the service exceptionally attentive, the pick up from Airport was excellent (even meeting you before security/customs and taking you through separate queues)
We were upgraded to a wonderful suite and I have to say the attentiveness to detail was wonderful
If I ever stay in Ho Chi Minh again, this will always be my first choice
Very solid, if not overly inspired, choice
Having stayed at way too many non-budget hotels around the world, especially Sheratons, this was a solid and very fairly priced choice.
The hotel is large and modern with a grand foyer. Consequently it can feel somewhat anonymous, but the rooms, service, pool, spa and food is very good and reliable. It is much better than most Sheratons. The rooms in particular feature highly comfortable beds, stunning marble bathrooms, and good views of the city especially at the higher levels.
The location of the hotel is spot on. Located within the main theater, bar, restaurant and shopping areas it is also within easy walking distance of the more historic Rex, Majestic, and Carvelle hotels. While food prices at the hotel are consistent with Western hotels in the USD$15-$20 range for breakfast and lunch buffets, a great $2 breakfast or a $0.60 draft beer can be had within a minutes walk.
In short, you can't go wrong here, though it lacks some of the charm of the more historic hotels.
First Class In Vietnam
The Sheraton Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City is a very nice place to stay! It is very clean and the room we had, was big and we had clean and convenient bathroom. Our view was just amazing! If you have a nice room, you can see the French town hall and the reunifiaction-palace as well. On the 23th level there is a cool bar, where you can dance too. Forget the pool, use the spa treatments for relaxing.
The food is superb! The Chinese restaurant "LI BAI" is one of the best Chinese restaurants, which I have ever tasted (even in China)!
All in all is it a good hotel, clearly the number one in Saigon. In my opinion far better than the Caravelle. But watch out for Park Hyatt!
Try it but don't expect a top notch hotel.
As good as you'll get anywhere in the world
On one level, a typical, modern, five star Asian hotel, lots of marble floors and chandeliers. But an excellent example of how such a hotel should be.
The service, design and attention to detail are outstanding - including aromatherapy smells coming out of the air-con on the landings!
Very efficient check-in and genuinely welcoming staff. I arrived several hours before official check-in time but the room was available straight away.
Standard room was a good size (see photos), spotlessly clean (no dust or stains anywhere), well designed and decorated, enormous wall mirror, electric curtains, and very good lighting, even a night-light under the bathroom sink, which is a first for me! Too many hotel rooms elsewhere are so badly lit. Good, clear TV reception and wide variety of international channels. Ask for a city-facing room and you should get a small balcony and a wide view for miles into the distance. On the other side of the hotel, you'll be looking straight into the hotel Towers rooms, with maybe a glimpse of the murky river. The sliding door to the balcony was locked but, when I asked for the key, someone arrived to unlock it within a couple of minutes. Servicing of room was excellent - they seemed to manage to know when I was out, even for a short time, including for the evening turn-down service.
Modest size bathroom but absolutely everything you need inside it, including a powerful shower, with two extra body-level water spouts. And the shower didn't leak at all - very rare in even the smartest of hotels. Pity about the quite short and narrow bath tub.
Prices inside the hotel are significantly more than outside but, even so, the mini-bar prices (for example) weren't as extortionate as is the case in most hotels around the world - I think a can of beer here was USD 3.00. Room service food was good, hot food arrived hot, and clear-up service was prompt.
Just a few small negatives - firstly, the room was scattered with leaflets, cards, internal advertising, etc, which I hate. Even after having piled everything up and put it in a corner, the same leaflets (etc) were replaced almost every time the room was serviced. Second, if you're non-Asian, beware the over-attentive waiting staff at times, a symptom of overstaffing (too many staff, not enough to do) and general ways of Asian service. My plates at lunch were removed literally after 3 to 5 seconds, not surprising as there were two waiters hovering around the table just waiting for something to do. More discreet service would be welcome, so the guests have a chance to "breathe". Third, the swimming pool is of modest size, shallow and the pool area a bit claustrophobic as it's sandwiched between the the two towers of the hotel, and the Caravelle Hotel on a third side - little chance of direct sunlight getting through.
One final tip - if you're on a leisure trip and can be around the hotel at lunch-time, go for the USD 17.00 buffet lunch - enormous range, excellent quality and great value-for-money. Far better than the buffet breakfast in the same place which is only USD 1.50 less.
Had some issues, but great hotel overall
Stayed at this hotel for over a week in March and loved it. The rooms were very spacious and the shower was particularly nice with the dual-stream water jets. The breakfast buffet was very good, lots of variety with everything from Pho, to curry to omelets and Japanese soba noodles. Unless you recieve the breakfast as part of a package however, I would not recommend paying for this breakfast as there are so many wonderful places to eat nearby. The next great thing about this hotel is it's central location. You are within wandering distance to all the nearby eateries and shopping. I would recommend going to the "night market" or wandering up the street at night to the park where families congregate to enjoy the evenings. For internet needs there is an internet cafe directly across the street from the hotel, the owners are nice and you will only pay a fraction of what you would pay in the hotel's business center.
Finally, to the one issue that I had with this hotel... I stayed at this hotel with vouchers that I recieved from a business associate. I had seven vouchers and informed the hotel prior to my arrival that I would be using these vouchers. They confirmed and everything seemed fine. On my second night, one of the receptionist returned my vouchers and informed me that my vouchers could not be used as the hotel was above a certain occupancy level. You can imagine my surprise as I was now expected to pay for these rooms that I had not budgeted for. The hotel kept trying to tell me to "use the vouchers another time" as if I travelled there weekly. Long story short the hotel tried very hard to strong arm me into not using my vouchers. Only after speaking to the GM did the hotel agree to take my vouchers. Very frustrating that I would have to deal with this and I was very confused that the hotel tried to be so unaccomodating. I assume this was an abberation and will try this hotel again in the future.
Nice hotel with Saigon river's view
It's a beautiful hotel. Very friendly staffs. Foods & services are expensive inside the hotel. With a few steps outside, one can get anything for much cheaper price. Level-23 is a hot club with live Western music every night. Nice live local music band playing at the lobby about 6 PM. I'm a SPG member & would recommend anyone with a reasonable budget staying at this hotel.
Lovely new hotel
uWe visited this hotel as part of our honeymoon and were very pleased with the standard.
The hotel room was large, clean and very new. The bed was absolutely huge and the bathroom was similarly spacious with both a bath and separate shower (with 3 jets).
One viewer commented on the astronomical laundry charges and I have to agree - the cost of laundering a pair of underpants was more than the cost of said underpants purchased in Hanoi earlier on our trip.
The bar at the top of the hotel provides a great view of the city and vrey nice snacks and drinks - but the location of the hotel also makes it a good location to wander to more reasonably priced (but good quality) restaurants, it is also walking distance from some of the main sites, including the Reunification Palace and the War Museum.
I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Saigon - I cannot see that there would be a better hotel.
Great Hotel *Incredible* City
This is the first Sheraton that I have truly enjoyed my stay at. The staff was much more polite than I've encountered at any of the other Sheraton hotels, and the vietnamese people in general are incredibly friendly. There is live music every evening in the lobby, and the 23rd floor features a glass-walled lounge with a spectacular view of Saigon proper and the Saigon River. The room, as always, was nice, and despite their astronomical laundering fees, I managed to receive everything back the way I requested it (This is somewhat of a feat to me, as I've never had my clothes properly laundered at any other Sheraton). The appetizers that I tried were very tastey, but the hotel is surrounded by so many lovely, cheap restaurants with GREAT food that I would suggest getting out and about. Saigon is the most pleasant city I've ever visited. My only caution is to watch out for all the scooters, motorcycles and mopeds that clog the streets. As one of the locals that I met told me, "Don't run, don't stop and don't look back. Just walk slowly and pray."
Best hotel in Saigon
I am a frequent traveler, for business and pleasure, to Vietnam. I also travel frequently in the US and in Europe and stay in many fine hotels. The Sheraton Saigon is an excellent hotel. The hotel is a new high rise (backing onto to older Caravelle) with state-of-the-art facilities, a beautiful pool, health club and tennis court and extremely nice rooms and suites with great views of the city and the river. The hotel is in the best location in Saigon. I do not consider staying in any other hotel when in Saigon, and I refer all of my friends and colleagues to this hotel.
Los Angeles, CA
North American standards, excellent room design, outstanding service.
Well worth the price and would definitely return.
Five Star Rating on all aspects of the hotel.

Merry Christmas from Vietnam!
Good Morning Vietnam! Ok, had to get that saying out of the way! Such a classic phrase and how many times do you get to use while actually in Vietnam? Now, what to call it? Saigon is what those of us grew up in the 60's and 70's know it as, but it is now called Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) and I have yet to figure out what is proper. So, for typing …

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to Ho Chi Minh I go.
I was surprised by the amount of traffic and general activity in Manila at 4:00 AM. I was also checked in and waiting for my flight well before sunrise. At dinner the night before my alums had made multiple comments about terminal 2 being, and I quote, "a dump". So, of course, as luck would have …
Moving on to the Mekong Delta cruise
We had an early start to the day, so that we could breakfast and have our cases out by 7.40am, then we headed off for a tour of Saigon. We looked through the Reunification Palace which was rebuilt in 1965 due to the original being bombed. The previous palace was French colonial architecture, this one is more modern and has an internal courtyard. < …
This morning we left for the Cu Chi tunnels. It was a two hour drive to the tunnel network, created by the local residents who farmed and fought in war times. These tunnels have been used by the Vietnam Cong during the French and American wars and covered more than 200 kilometers.

New York state election, 1868
The 1868 New York state election was held on November 3, 1868, to elect the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, a Canal Commissioner, an Inspector of State Prisons and the Clerk of the Court of Appeals, as well as all members of the New York State Assembly.
The Republican state convention met on July 8 at Syracuse, New York. Henry Smith was Temporary Chairman until the choice of John Cochrane as President. John A. Griswold was nominated for Governor on the first ballot (vote: Griswold 247, Horace Greeley 95, Stewart L. Woodford 36). Alonzo B. Cornell was nominated for Lieutenant Governor on the first ballot (vote: Cornell 219, Augustus Frank 88, Franz Sigel 6). Alexander Barkley for Canal Commissioner, the incumbent Prison Inspector Henry A. Barnum, and Campbell H. Young for Clerk of the Court of Appeals, were nominated by acclamation.[1]
The Democratic state convention met on September 2 and 3 at Tweddle Hall in Albany, New York. H. O. Cheesbro was Temporary Chairman until the choice of Robert Earl as President. Mayor of New York John T. Hoffman, the Democratic candidate of 1866, was nominated again for Governor by acclamation. Allen C. Beach was nominated for Lieutenant Governor after an informal ballot (vote: Beach 68, Albert P. Lanning 47, William J. Averill 9, S. T. Ahnot 1).[2]
A German Democratic state convention met on September 2 at Schreiber's Hotel in Albany, New York with Henry Clausenger as President, and endorsed the nomination of John T. Hoffman for Governor.[3]
The whole Democratic ticket was elected.

Philip, G. (2007) 'Natural and cultural aspects of the development of the Marl landscape east of Lake Qatina during the Bronze and Iron Ages.', in Urban and natural landscapes of an ancient Syrian capital : settlement and environment at Tell Mishrifeh/Qatna and in central-western Syria. Udine: Forum Editrice, pp. 233-242. Studi archeologici su Qatna. (1).
This joint Syrian-British multidisciplinary, multi-period archaeological survey project, studies an area of marl landscape east of Lake Qatina. Geomorphological work has shown that the marls are overlain by outcrops of cemented fluvial gravels of Pleistocene date, which fill former channels of the al-Asi river, and which are closely associated with activity of Palaeolthic date. Preliminary analysis of cores from Lake Qatina indicates that while the northern end of lake provides evidence for consistently lacustrine conditions for the last 4000 years at least, the southern end revealed evidence of regular periods of drying-out. The region has been heavily exploited for agriculture over a long period, as a result of which the archaeological record has suffered considerable attrition. Prehistoric settlement is concentrated along the al-Asi, with evidence for a significant expansion to the east during later third millennium BC. A number of small tells are located along a series of seasonal wadi courses some kilometres east of the river. These show intermittent occupation from EBA III/IV through to the Hellenistic period. The tell sites appear to go out of use during the Hellenistic period, during which there is an expansion of dispersed, off-tell settlement, a pattern which continues through the Roman and later periods. In contrast both north Mesopotamia and the southern Levant reveal a major phase of settlement dispersal during the Iron Age. Recent work on the Mari texts suggests that Tell Nebi Mend/Qadesh may be identified with the site of qa-di-sa-a. Not far from Qadesh, and close to Lake Qatina was a fortress called Dur-Ishkhi-Addu, the identification of which remains uncertain at present, although Tell Qatina is a possibility.

Q: What is the most challenging case you have worked on and what made it challenging?
A: The most challenging case that I worked on was an arbitration related to infringement of a lettuce plant variety certificate. We had the burden to prove that the infringing lettuce variety was essentially derived from our client's protected lettuce variety. Our expert was able to convince the arbitrator that the infringing variety retained the essential characteristics of our protected variety. We were not able to prove to the arbitrator's satisfaction that the infringer used our protected variety to produce the infringing lettuce variety. It was a very frustrating outcome.

Special Correspondent
Bangalore: Screening of over 70 outstanding films from 40 countries and over 20 milestone Kannada films representing 75 years of Kannada cinema will mark the third edition of the weeklong Bengalooru International Film Festival (Biffes) organised by the Suchitra Cinema and Cultural Academy in association with the State Government and the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce.
Chairman of the organising committee of the festival V.N. Subba Rao told presspersons here on Tuesday that the mega event would be held from January 15 to 22 in the city. The festival would be inaugurated at the Chowdaiah Memorial Hall in the presence of top personalities from cinema, television, culture and political fields on January 15, 2009.
The films, including those in DVD format, would be screened at Vision Cinemas multiplex, K.H. Patil Auditorium on K.H. Road (Double Road) and the Suchitra Auditorium on B.V. Karanth Road, Banashankari second stage. Besides, efforts were being made to screen landmark Kannada films at the historical Badami House in N.R. Square opposite the head office of the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike, to mark the Platinum Jubilee year of Kannada Vakchitra, he added.
The nonagenarian film producer, director, studio owner and cinematographer, B.S. Ranga, would be felicitated on the last day of the festival in recognition of his career spanning over seven decades. A monograph on Mr. Ranga and a book, both in English and Kannada, on the celebrated director, the late N. Lakshminarayan, would be released during the festival, Mr. Rao said.
Workshops on cinematography and animation, a documentary film on Kannada cinema music, seminars, including a curtain raiser seminar on various aspects of Kannada cinema would be held on December 21. Lectures would also mark the event, he added.
The Chairperson of the KFCC, Jaimala, said it was an honour for the Kannada cinema industry to associate itself with the Biffes on the occasion of 75 years of Kannada cinema. Films of the late actor-producer M.P. Shankar, the late director-producer K.V. Jayaram and the late lyricist, director and producer R.N. Jayagopal would be screened on the occasion as mark of respect, she added.
Artistic Director of the festival H.N. Narahari Rao said a total of 90 films would be screened at the festival.
However, the number and details of the films would be confirmed after the conclusion of the Goa Film Festival to be held shortly. Besides Kannada films, an estimated 10 Indian language films were expected to be screened, he said.
The executive director of the film, N. Vidyashankar, said the Government had promised to extend a grant of Rs. 25 lakh for the event. The organisers were hopeful of mobilising the funds through sponsors and donors. The organisers were also keen on providing global exposure for deserving Kannada films at the festival, he added.

Will the Sonics become the Sooners sooner or later?
When Clay Bennett, owner of the Seattle SuperSonics, announced his intent to move the team to Oklahoma last November and change its name to the Sooners, SuperSonics fans rallied to prevent the move. By the time the battle reached the district courtroom of Judge Marsha Pechman in mid June, the Save Our Sonics organization included as many as 10,000 fans. Both sides in the profilic Seattle v. Professional Basketball Club LLC (PBC) case asked Judge Pechman, who is expected to make a decision next Wednesday, to consider the public for different reasons.
In the city's trial brief, Seattle argues under a breach of contract theory. Basically, Seattle and PBC entered into a contract that specified that Seattle would rebuild the Key Arena at a cost of over $80 million dollars in exchange for PBC's promise to keep the team in Seattle through the 2009-10 season. The city argues that the Sonics bring intangible benefits to Seattle in the form of civic pride and a sense of community. PBC argues the contract financially burdens both sides and, although the public is not a party to the contract, the people of Seattle are indifferent to whether the team stays or goes.
Whether or not Judge Pechman considers the public in her decision, her ruling will not necessarily dictate where the Sonics will play the next two seasons as settlement discussions will likely continue after the courtroom drama ends.
The arguments of the city and PBC bring up an interesting question: should fans have a say in whether a team goes or stays? The counterargument to fans dictating the presence of sports teams is playing out in Charlotte, NC as a local lawyer, with no intention of owning a team, attempts to bring major league baseball into town. The truth is, professional sports teams require money to operate and someone has to foot the bill. Unfortunately, sometimes that comes at a cost, not of money, but public pride.

Marking further action in a case that has established a significant legal precedent, the Federal District Court in Miami ruled that the Monticello Insurance Company is liable for the $5.75 million settlement in the 1997 drownings of Zachary Breaux and Eugenie Poleyeff.
According to the lawsuit, both individuals were vacationing with family (separately) in Miami Beach in February 1997 and on February 20 they both went to the beachfront located at 29th Street in Miami Beach. Although there were concessions and other amenities located at that area of the beach, there were no lifeguards or signage warning of the strong rip tides that day.
"People thought the concessionaires were lifeguards, but there were no warning signs that the beach was unguarded," said Howard Pomerantz, an attorney for the Breaux family
Poleyeff, 66 went into the water and began struggling after being caught in a rip tide. Breaux, 36, an up-and-coming jazz guitarist, went in to try and rescue her and got in trouble himself. Lifeguards were summoned from several blocks away, but did not arrive in time to save the victims.
Then the question became, who was responsible? The concessionaire on that stretch of beach had an insurance policy through the Monticello Insurance Company of Delaware naming the city of Miami Beach as an additional insured. Additionally, in 2005 the Florida Supreme Court ruled that cities have a responsibility to warn beach goers of known dangers, just like private landowners.
"Had they merely put up warning sings saying this is an unguarded beach, they would have been OK. We probably never would have brought the case," said Pomerantz. "Not only had they not warned of rip currents that day, but people thought it was a guarded beach."
Following the incident, a lifeguard stand was erected at 29th street and the city went forward negotiating a settlement with the families of the victims. However, according to case information, Monticello Insurance Company has refused to pay the settlements on the grounds that the language in the policy did not cover the city.
The recent judgment against Monticello means the company will now have to pay the full settlement even though the policy only covered up to $1 million. As of press time, Pomerantz expected that Monticello would appeal the decision. If that happens, the case would move to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Kevin Trapani, president and CEO of The Redwoods Group, has been following the case. His Morrisville, N.C., risk management firm insures aquatics operators including the YMCA. And Trapani said the case just illustrates how important it is to get the language in an insurance policy right, particularly when it comes to additional insured parties.
"This is just a classic case of an unintended exposure," said Trapani. "That can happen when you're not clear about the additional insured [in your policy]. We want to talk about victims in distress but at the end of the day we have to be careful about how we buy our insurance products."

Puppy waking up yelping?
He's fine right now, but twice today He was woken up mid sleep yelping like he has been severely injured. Each time he has favored his from left leg. Any possible reasons for this? My vet is closed at the moment. I will take him to the emergency vet if I need to, but curious as to what you guys may think it could be.
He's 9 months old by the way. Sent from Petguide.com App |

Don't know what to tell you....obviously nothing traumatic has happened to your dog's front leg as far as you know??
Maybe it is Panosteitis.... I believe your pooch is in that age category for panosteitis and it does affect the long leg bones of large breed dogs at an earlier age. Hope it is nothing worse. SuperG |

Yeah, I honestly don't know. He was at daycare yesterday but was fine all evening and all of this morning. He seems fine after his yelping bout is over with.
Is this something serious enough to go to the emergency vet or wait until Monday when my vet opens again? |

Is he otherwise perky, eating, drinking and not vomiting? Any diarrhea? If not I wouldn't take him to an EVet given the cost. Puppies aren't good at hiding illness. That's just my gut thought.
My furs are not in storage, nor draped across the bed. They're peering out the kennel door just waiting to be fed. (Anonymous) |

When we got our pup at 2 months she was yelping in her sleep and shaking her paw like she was running or something. I was told she is just dreaming, and it went away as she grew. She still does it once in a while at 10 months, but u can tell she is dreaming. Sometimes its just that, but if you have a concern speak to your vet. I find sometimes when you Google symptoms, the feedback you get are just way off worst case scenarios. My pup is 100% healthy and she was as I said yelping in her sleep and still does it once in a while.

Harry (3yo) and Lola (5yo) both dream, when they are in a deep sleep their front and back paws move like they are running and Harry whines and yelps - it is just a dream for them.
The thing I thought of when I read your post, was maybe she was laying on her left leg and when she woke up, the leg was 'asleep' and she couldn't move it, as pups they are very vocal when they get hurt. If it keeps happening and other issues crop up then discuss with your vet.
if your GSD is eating and eating and eating and losing weight - please consider testing for EPI. http://www.epi4dogs.com/epiinsnapshots.htm |

The press release for Putting Holes into October Skies inadvertently does a better job describing its shortcomings than most critics could. According to the release, Phononoir, aka Berlin-based Matthias Grübel, gained inspiration for the album by "loading arbitrarily recorded noise bits and sampled sounds from daily life into a drum computer." Surely this statement was meant to establish Grübel's noble experimentalism, but it becomes a bit laughable when you listen to the music and it sounds like… well, no need to be redundant.
There used to be two ways you could go about being a reclusive, ultra-sensitive misfit musician: Gently strumming an acoustic guitar while mumbling observational lyrics with all due world-weariness, or locking yourself in your bedroom with a computer, home-made electronics, and a hard-drive full of alienation. Now people like Grübel are beginning to mix those two approaches. The results get plenty of attention on the blogs; and, to these artists' credit, the results can be quite beautiful. It's just that listening to them for more than a few songs at a time is going to put you to sleep—if you haven't already suffocated from all the self-seriousness.
Not that taking yourself seriously is a crime. If Putting Holes into October Skies is pretentious, it's a very subtle form of it. And the dry, desolate, guitar-punctured existentialism is much easier to stomach coming from an everyman like Grübel than from Radiohead, who have made a career (not to mention tons of money) from it. Possibly aware of this, Grübel has included a song called "How to Become Invisible".
But disappearing into a world like the one Grübel creates on Putting Holes into October Skies is a dubious proposition. Musically, the fuzzy tremolo of "A Hymn for Silence" is as peaceful and majestic as the song's title suggests; "Slowdown" goes it one better by eking out a sad little guitar melody amid the pulsing, clicking electronics. But too many tracks are meandering, repetitive; and, worse, boring. "Panodrama", for example, starts with a nice, snapping synth/percussion combo that then goes nowhere for several minutes. The handful of instrumentals occasionally recalls the artful understatement of Bill Frisell, but is inconsequential. Eventually, the womb starts to feel claustrophobic.
Adding to that effect is Grübel's voice, a dry, closely-mic'd croak that is, yes, world-weary and generally disinterested. When intelligible, his lyrics are literate and predictably personal—phrases like "I'm feeling incomplete… I will unfold" and "I can feel rainfall outside of my room" illustrate the feeling of inertia that hangs around the whole project.
Putting Holes into October Skies is an insular album that presents Grübel as he really is. You can only hope he gets out for a pint and a round of pool once in a while.
