Album Review: Justin Moore – Justin Moore
Jason Aldean should be afraid—very, very afraid.
On Justin Moore's self-titled debut album, the Poyen, Arkansas (Population: 272) native effectively out Jason Aldeans Aldean himself, pulling off his brand of twangy, down-on-the-farm roots and rock influences with a country authenticity more capably than any other country up-and-comer at the moment.
Moore, who co-wrote nine of the album's 10 songs, has organically dialed into a market of musical fans with backgrounds very similar to his own, racking up more than 200,000 song downloads before the record even went on sale. On top of that, barring radio censorship of the album's matter-of-fact offering "I Could Kick Your Ass," each and every song is 100% radio ready.
These numbers can be attributed to the consistency of the two singles that preceded the album, "Back That Thing Up," an innuendo-laden look at life on the farm, and "Small Town USA," a genuine—if not inoffensive and devoid of creativity—look at small-town life. Fortunately and unfortunately, depending on whether or not you fall into Moore's main demographic, the rest of the songs on Justin Moore are exactly like these lead-off singles.
Moore works his way through the same song about five different times, with little of the album's material deviating from his (admittedly well-crafted and performed) country boy routine. This works best when Moore uses his outstanding vocal ability to offer insight into exactly what kind of country boy he is, beyond the clichés that play starring roles in the five million other "I'm Country" country songs that exist.
The most engaging moments on the record's best tracks rely on important details that obviously matter to Moore, whether it's guns (when he recounts a favorite present in the touching "Grandpa"), girls (his voice swells convincingly on "Like There's No Tomorrow") or attempted musical glory (The comical "Hank It" scores the best lyrical line with "There was a smoking little blond sitting next to me…She must've been late and missed my show/But when you play at 7:00 that's the way it goes"). These moments are real, and it shows.
Conversely, when Moore abuses those authentic qualities and shouts about his love of all things country just a little too loud, things start to derail. The cacophonous "Backwoods" suffers this fate, between its aggressive mash-up of gun racks, buck knives, hunting and hollers and "Work hard/Play hard/Hold my baby tight" mantra. It's the exact same song as "Small Town USA," only with a jarring guitar solo. "Good Ole American Way" takes a hard line lyrical approach that also comes on a bit strong, complete with a Jimmy Hendrix-esque "Star Spangled Banner" jam at the end: "Don't believe in politically correct/If you want a piece of me you better have a set/A rifle and a four-wheel drive is all I need."
Between the animal sounds and farm references, Justin Moore could sonically give the Old McDonald Greatest Hits album a run for its money, and doesn't provide many glimpses of artistic versatility. On top of those things, however, it is also a solid debut effort from an artist who knows himself, knows his way of life and, perhaps most importantly, knows his fans.

"and doesn't provide many glimpses of artistic versatility"
That's exactly what I came away with. Same thing over and over again.
So, last year some kids knocked on my dorm room door and lured me with pizza to take a survey on a new artist. They were music business students and involved in promotion.
I listened to samples of 3 songs. "I Could Kick Your Ass", "Back That Thang Up" and "Small Town USA". I rated them each, giving the first two a 3/10 and STU a 7/10. I told them STU should be a single.
So, therefore, I'm taking all the credit for his success. Justin, you are welcome.
Thanks for the review! I haven't been this curious about a mainstream country artist since Miranda Lambert. There is something about Moore that interests me. Although "Small Town USA" doesn't blow me away and it's just like many of the other songs on the radio today, I think he's sincere.
I know I would be murdering Rascal Flatts if they sang "Back That Thing Up," but I'm in "wait and see mode" when it comes to Moore.
He does remind me of everything Jason Aldean was suppose to be.
I've put off getting the album mostly cause I've been listening to G. Strait, but there wasn't anything too bad in your review to convince me not to buy it. Anyways, it would be nice to add some new blood to my collection. Thanks!
The CMT blog has been spotlighting an album cut each day from "Justin Moore" so I'd guess there is payola involved! (lol) I bought a label sampler CD months ago that included "I Could Kick Your Ass" and its an okay song. Maybe they could substitute "butt" for a radio edit version?
Justin performed munerous times on the Thursday night "Classic Country" Opry shows earlier this year and he really doesn't have much of a singing voice. His vocals are passable live, and he kicks Sucky Covington's ass in that regard, but when he sings classic country songs he tends to fall flat.
Justin is not a major talent, kind of like Luke Bryan, but he's more listenable than Jason Aldean. I wish him well in building a "bubba" fan base.
PS to Brady: Did Randy Houser have anything to do with writing Fast Ryde's "That Thang"? Da dang dang…
No Rick, Randy didn't but Randy and Jamey Johnson wrote "My Cowboy" with pop/country singer Jessie James for her album.
I asked Randy about that very topic a few months ago, and I was amused by his response: "Somebody's got to be the ass man in Nashville."
I found "Small Town USA" to be derivative (no surprise) but not offensively cliched, so I was on the fence unti I read these words…
"a solid debut effort from an artist who knows himself, knows his way of life and, perhaps most importantly, knows his fans."
Sure, he's gotta sell-out a bit, in order to get those first couple hits, but at this point I'm willing to buy ANYTHING from "an artist who knows himself" … heck, that's all we can ask for, isn't it?
No Rick, Randy didn't but Randy and Jamey Johnson wrote "My Cowboy" with pop/country singer Jessie James for her album.
Everytime I want to like Jamey he pulls something like that.
"…each and every song is 100% radio ready."
you mean they suck? ;)
anybody that doesn't think "grandpa" is a great country song is an idiot
Justin Moore has a good voice if he can focus it. I find all of his songs immature, boyish, and ill-written. But his voice has a real bite to it. It is sad that he thinks that his audience is too stupid to want something more than guns, hot girls, and small town values. That need to connect to those ideas lost me. If he sang about small town life in better detail I would be impressed. I saw him last night on GAC Nights and he didn't sound like the brightest man in the world. Maybe that is why he can't write a great song. But I like his voice and if he can move pass the small town country God-fearing boy world he might have a career.
LOL yeah I saw the crib videos. Hilarious!
I really really like Justin Moore. I agree that the album is simply good, not great, but enjoyable. Three stars is a perfect rating for it.
I don't think Moore sounds like Aldean…but more like Rhett Akins. He puts on a great live show though…Hope his second album is just a little more unique.
That cover photo even looks like Jason Aldean (after a few months in the gym).
I think he has a good voice, too, but none of the singles have interested me thus far. Doesn't sound like there's much else to make me want to pick it up.
I dunno…….I guess I'm just simple, but I never get tired of small-town, gun shootin, tobacco spittin country songs. I like his voice, and his songs. If you want something that is "deep"…read some shakespeare.
"Between the animal sounds and farm references, Justin Moore could sonically give the Old Mcdonald Greatest Hits album a run for it's money…"
Damn you Karlie, for making me laugh that hard
I think Justin has done something that the majority of country fans want from an album, we've all bought cds and been completely dissappointed with the cd being 3 singles and 7 lame ballads. Justin has just given fans and radio what they want, and with being a marketing professional by day, it's nice to see someone do what their fans want. In the end, we all love an artist growing and showing his versatility, but sometimes we just find out they suck at ballads and other styles (see: Aldean, Jason).
Also should note this tracklist was the result of the "So you want to be a record label" promotion where fans voted on the tracks they thought should be on the cd and the 10 songs with the most votes made the cut.
I haven't bought this album yet but a friend of mine did and I got to listen to it all the way through and was more impressed than I thought I'd be. Most of the songs were solid at least, but they were all way to similar in style. His country/rock style probably makes for a very good concert experience, but if he can't prove he's more than a one trick pony my fear is people will get burnt out on his stuff pretty quickly (Much like what happened with Gretchen Wilson).
I love this Album.
"No Tomorrow" is a great song, and "I Could Kick Your Ass" is fun to sing along too.
Being Canadian, "Small Town USA" and "Good Ole American Way" don't mean much to me, but still worth a listen.
Not a fan of "Back That Thing Up", but I really like "The Only Place That I Call Home".
anyone who dont like justin moore is a damn idiot! he is gonna save country music from goin pop like it mostly has! hank sure would be proud! may the C.S.A rise again!
Excuse me? May the what rise again?
Surely it's Community Supported Agriculture.
Honestly, I think that Justin is literally the best new artist of the 2000s and the greatest as a new-comer yet. Backwoods- top10 favorite songs.

Ancient American site identified in Alaska.
Artifacts at the site, including about 50 expertly sharpened stone spear points, belong to a culture previously unrecognized by archaeologists, contends BLM's Michael Kunz, who discovered the "Mesa site" in 1978. This supports the theory that groups with different cultural heritages crossed a land bridge from Siberia to Alaska around 12,000 to 14,000 years ago and led distinctive ways of life in their new homeland, Kunz says.
His interpretation of the Mesa site enters an often fractious scientific debate regarding when the first people arrived in North America and how they got here (SN: 6/9/90, p. 360).
"The Mesa site is important and deserves further investigation," notes Robert Ackerman, an archaeologist at Washington State University in Pullman. "But it's an open question whether it's the oldest human site in North America or contains the remains of a distinctive culture:'
Kunz discovered the Alaskan site while conducting a federally mandated archaeological survey of the area prior to oil and gas exploration. Richard Reanier, an archaeologist at the University of Washington in Seattle, joined him for excavations.
Along with the spear points, Kunz and Reanier recovered stone tools associated with the manufacture of hunting weapons. For instance, a "graver" with a sharpened edge was probably used to cut strips of rawhide for fastening spear points to wooden shafts. And hunters may have fashioned spear shafts with stone flakes found at the Mesa site.
"Ancient hunters probably climbed up the 200-foot-high mesa to get a good view of game animals on the landscape and worked on their weapons there:' Kunz asserts.
Kunz delayed announcement of the Mesa finds until he received what he calls "bulletproof" age estimates for the site. A series of 13 radiocarbon dates for bits of charcoal found by the researchers, including 11 dates produced by a technique that relies on a high-energy mass spectrometer to separate and count carbon atoms of different mass, range from 9,700 to 11,700 years old.
The latter date exceeds by several hundred years the oldest remains of Clovis hunters, long regarded as the first inhabitants of North America, Spear points at the Mesa site differ significantly from those found at Clovis sites, Kunz maintains, and represent the handiwork of an unknown culture.
Several Alaskan sites contain stone tools of the 11,000-year-old Nenana culture; these tools show similarities to implements once used by eastern Siberian peoples. No Siberian parallels exist for Mesa or Clovis remains, Kunz says.
"The settling of the New World was more complex than many archaeologists thought," Kunz argues. "Two very different cultural groups were present very early on, and there may have been more:"
Rather than migrating to North America in several waves, as some investigators have theorized, nomadic hunters probably "dribbled" across the ancient land bridge in pursuit of game and ended up on the new continent by accident, Kunz proposes.
However, it remains unclear when people first reached the New World, Ackerman says. Human remains in Pennsylvania and Chile date to 12,000 years ago, and another Alaskan site dates to 11,750 years ago. Ackerman considers these estimates as valid as those for the Mesa site. Even earlier sites may exist, especially in poorly explored regions of Alaska, he says.
Archaeologists must find more Alaskan and Pacific Northwest sites to determine whether the Mesa weapons hail from a separate culture, Ackerman adds.

Seventeen-year-old Alexis Corocan spends about $5 a month on clothes, accessories and eyes of various shapes and shades for her online persona on IMVU, a popular Internet hangout.
For 29 cents, for example, she can buy a set of deep gray eyes framed by dark lashes. Sixty cents gets her a white tiger. Or for $1.21, she could have an infant named Baby Candy.
Five dollars a month doesn't sound like much, but through these microtransactions — payments of little as a quarter for a virtual item — IMVU Inc. reaps roughly $1 million in revenue each month.
Micropayments have been one of the Internet's most-hyped and least-successful ideas — until now, as virtual world creators and video game companies are beginning to expect, and even depend on, players to buy virtual goods in little chunks.
The idea has already taken hold in Asia, where piracy is widespread, making it harder for companies to profit from the traditional model of selling the games themselves. Now some game companies in the U.S. are taking a stab at micropayments as a serious source of revenue.
Instead of charging for each virtual item separately, companies sell chunks of credits — through PayPal, credit card transactions or physical game cards bought in stores like Target — usually for $5 to $25 at a time. Users then spend the credits in small installments, which often amount to just a few cents.
Corocan, of Aurora, Ill., says the money she spends is worth it, but anything more a few dollars a month "is taking it too far."
South Korea's Nexon Corp. has based its entire $266 million business on giving away games for free and charging small amounts of money for little extras that enhance the playing experience, such as virtual clothes for online characters and a $4.40 "slime stick" in the role-playing game MapleStory. Min Kim, the company's vice president of marketing, compares it to the classic model of selling razors cheaply and making money on razor blades.
The company, founded in 1994, is an established success in South Korea, and now is expanding to North American markets, where most video game money is still made in brick-and-mortar stores. This year when Nexon launches SugarRush, its first game specifically for a North American audience, players will be able to customize their cartoon-like characters and battle with or against their friends.
Already, Nexon's $10 and $25 game cards are big sellers in big retailers like Best Buy Co. and 7-Eleven Inc. In Target stores, Nexon says, its game cards are the second best-selling prepaid card after Apple Inc.'s iTunes. Target Corp. spokeswoman Brandy Doyle wouldn't confirm that but said "I can say that we are very happy."
Large U.S. game companies such as Electronic Arts Inc. are taking notice. The company's chief executive, John Riccitiello, told a recent investor conference that micropayments will be crucial for EA's business as it distributes more games directly to customers online.
As an example, he cited Spore, a highly anticipated game launching Sunday in the U.S. after years in the making. The game lets players create an evolving universe, from single-celled organisms all the way to civilizations capable of intergalactic travel. Spore does not yet use micropayments, but Riccitiello said he envisions eventually selling separate accouterments for the game like "body parts and planet parts and vehicle parts."
"The microtransaction potential for this game is huge," he said.

There were a lot of changes for the better after the George Mason men�s basketball team made its unlikely run to the Final Four in 2006.
One of the side benefits was that the Patriots were able to expand their recruiting base. While all five starters from the 2006 team hailed from Maryland, Mason now has players on its roster from as far away as Serbia, Texas and Memphis, Tenn.
The irony is that this year�s team includes just two players from Virginia. One of them is freshman shooting guard Patrick Holloway, a native of Fairfax who grew up in Stafford County and was a standout for nationally ranked Paul VI of Fairfax as a senior last season.
The 6-foot-1 Holloway considered Delaware, George Washington and Saint Joseph�s before deciding to attend Mason, which is the only school where he made an official visit. One of his teammates in high school was Tilman Dunbar, now a freshman guard at Navy.
�I like it because people can come and see me play. I know my family can come and watch,� said Holloway, a shooting guard last season for Paul VI.
�I really like the coaching staff,� he added. �I felt very comfortable.�
Mason head coach Paul Hewitt, formerly of Georgia Tech, is eager to have Holloway on the court.
�He understands the game,� Hewitt said. �He is an outstanding shooter.�
Other Mason freshmen include 6-foot-7 forward Michael Rudy, who is from Falls Church and played at St. Thomas More; forward Jalen Jenkins of Yonkers, N.Y.; and forward Marko Gujanicic of Serbia who played high school ball in California.
George Mason, under second-year coach Hewitt, will begin its season at home at the Patriot Center Nov. 9 against Virginia. The Cavaliers beat Mason, 68-46, in Charlottesville last December.
�I am looking forward to it,� Holloway said. �[Virginia] is a big school and we have to compete with the best. It will help me to get comfortable [playing against top Division I teams].�
So how will Mason replace standout inside player Ryan Pearson, who as a senior last season was the player of the year in the Colonial Athletic Association?
�A lot of people have been asking that question,� said Holloway, who saw Mason play in person last year in Fairfax against Delaware and North Carolina-Wilmington. �There are a lot of talented guys on the team. There are a lot of different pieces on the team.�
Among the returning inside players for the Patriots are 6-9 junior forward Jonathan Arledge, 6-8 sophomore center Erik Copes and 6-5 sophomore forward Vaughn Gray.
Redshirt junior guard Sherrod Wright averaged 9.6 points per game last season and is a second-team all-CAA preseason selection. Arledge averaged 4.3 points per game last season but played very well in the CAA tournament in Richmond, while Copes averaged 3.3 points per contest and Gray scored 3.4 points per outing.
Arledge, who attracted attention from Georgetown while in high school with KIMA in Washington, D.C., had 10 points and a season-high 11 rebounds in the season finale against VCU in the CAA tourney.
Mason used Byron Allen and Corey Edwards at the point guard spot most of last season. The Patriots turned the ball over on more than 20 percent of its possessions, which ranked among the bottom third of all Division I teams.
�We turned it over too many times. I think experience will help,� Hewitt said of Allen and Edwards.
�They have their guards coming back,� Drexel head coach Bruiser Flint said of Mason. �Allen is one of the best guards in the league. I think they will be good again.�
The Patriots finished third in regular season play in the CAA last year and that is where they were picked to finish this season by coaches and media personnel when the league�s annual media day was held in Arlington on Oct. 16.
Picked to win the league is Drexel, which came close to an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament last season after failing to win the CAA tourney title. VCU gained the automatic bid to the NCAA tourney from the CAA last season but the Rams now are a member of the Atlantic 10 Conference. Delaware was pegged for second in the CAA.
Old Dominion and Georgia State are not eligible for the league title since they are leaving the CAA after this season. Towson and UNC-Wilmington, due to academic problems, also can not take part in the CAA tourney in Richmond in March.
The Mason women were picked to finish in a tie for seventh with UNC-Wilmington in the CAA. Head coach Jeri Porter feels the Patriots are primed for their first winning season in nearly 10 years.
The preseason favorite among CAA women is Delaware, which features All-American Elena Delle Donne.

Hi there, I had open tip plasty approx 3 weeks ago. Although I understand there will be swelling for a while I think the tip was more rotated up when I had the cast removed after a week. Is it possible for the tip to drop afterwards and could it be due to laughing,smiling,less swelling?(Or maybe Im just used to seeing in everyday now and it hasnt changed at all and im working myself up over nothing)? Is there a way to prevent it drooping any further? Thanks for your help.
Recent Tip Plasty. Can my Tip Drop After the Cast is Removed?
Doctor Answers 1
Nasal Tip Drop after Rhinoplasty
The tip may appear less rotated as swelling resolves, without an actual change in tip position. Obviously you want to be careful after your surgery but facial animation will not do any harm. There is nothing you can do to constructively influence tip rotation.

Weather keeps P-47 Thunderbolts out of Saturday's ShrinersFest airshow
EVANSVILLE - Bad weather won't stop the air show today at Hadi Shrine 2013 ShrinersFest, but it will stop one of its feature acts.
A flight of P-47 Thunderbolts is stuck in Gatlinburg, Tenn., due to an incoming storm front, Hadi Shrine spokesman Dale Thomas said.
ShrinersFest organizers are trying to reschedule events so when the P-47s do arrive, festival-goers can watch them fly.
The P-47 Thunderbolt is a warplane that flew throughout the entire involvement of the United States in World War II. The P-47 is famous for being one the heaviest, most expensive and most successful aircraft of the war.
Thomas said the air show's roster is deep, so the air show will proceed without the P-47s.

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, in Salley v. Option One Mortgage Corp., recently upheld a mortgage company's right to enforce a "one-sided" arbitration provision in a loan agreement with a consumer.

The effect of Salley has been to vindicate the use of such non-reciprocal provisions in Pennsylvania consumer mortgage loan agreements.

PASCAGOULA, Mississippi — Construction officials say the new $30 million dollar Jackson County jail will be move in ready by Sept. 18.
The Sun Herald reports (http://bit.ly/1F3rhJh) project manager Jeff May told the Jackson County Board of Supervisors on Monday that two substantial projects that support the jail -- sanitary sewer and fiber optics communications -- will be complete in June.
Fiber optics will connect the County Services Complex, the Pascagoula Police Department, the jail and county maintenance, opening the door to the possibility of holding video arraignments and avoid transporting inmates from the jail for preliminary hearings.
The jail is 75 percent complete with $19.3 million spent. May said that includes 17 change orders that so far have saved $109,000 on the cost.

Polls across the state closed Tuesday at 7:30 p.m., marking the close of the election and leaving candidates and citizens alike on the edge of their seats awaiting results. Despite a few technical difficulties with the State Board of Elections' reporting website, all precincts had been tallied and recorded by about 11 p.m.
North Carolina voters set record numbers on Election Day this year. Midterm voter participation reached an all-time high with 43.99 percent of registered voters casting their ballot.
As Election Day continued to progress, Newton and Conover voting precincts steadily saw voters.
"I think that there are a lot of things on the ballot that people are concerned about," said Northside Fire Station precinct worker Sue Laney. "We've had a lot more traffic than usual."
An air of excitement flooded the top floor of Blue Moon Tavern in Newton as the final ballots were counted in Catawba County. Local Republican candidates gathered there Tuesday evening to watch as the unofficial election results brought victory for many in attendance.
House Speak Thom Tillis has defeated incumbent Senator Kay Hagan for the 2014 U.S. Senate election in North Carolina.
Bloomberg -- Eurasia Group's Corey Boles, Bloomberg Business Week's Josh Green and Bloomberg's Peter Cook discuss the midterm elections with Bloomberg's Mark Crumpton on "Bottom Line."
Things are starting to settle down here," said Claremont Fire Chief Bart Travis as he stepped into a closed session meeting with the city council. "We're getting back to focusing on what we need to be focusing on."
The Saturday before election day, the Balls Creek Republican Fish Fry draws candidates out for an afternoon of fellowship, food and entertainment. Each year, the organizers of the event aim to include a keynote speaker from the highest election on that docket.
To mark the completion of the Golden Spike Campaign, the Newton Depot Authority is hosting a Milepost Celebration on Saturday, November 15 at the Historic Newton Depot. The general public is invited to attend from 12 noon until 2pm. Live music and refreshments will be offered and docents will lead tours of the pavilion and museum. The event is free of charge.

Aston Villa midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker has hit out at the Premiership's serial divers.
Reo-Coker insists he won't change his all-action style one bit and accepts that sometimes that approach will get him in trouble with referees.
"I won't change one bit," Reo-Coker told Villa's website. "I am used to getting cautioned. I don't go out and try and get booked but that happens. That's football.
"That fire and passion is an important part of my armoury.
"But there's a lot more theatrics now. Players are falling over and trying to get free-kicks and fouls. They are killing the game.
"It's not a man's game anymore. You can't get physical any more.
"If you touch a player now they do 20 rolls and a backflip and get you cautioned."

My doctor told me that when sex is still painful after you have healed a lot of the time it is in your mind that is causing it to be painful. If you go in thinking that it is going to hurt then you are going to tighten your muscles which could cause it to hurt. So just try to be as relaxed as possible be as aroused as possible and use lots and lots of lube since you are ebfing. I know it is hard to be relaxed when you feel like you are on a time crunch and LO could wake up at anytime but maybe if you have a freezer stash you could get someone to babysit and you and hubby could go on a nice date have a glass of wine and just take your time. Hope that works and you can get back to normal soon!

silly question about roller furling
I'm new to sailing... I've only been out once, and it was an 8 day ASA 101/103 class. Our boat was an IP440 with roller furling genoa and main (mast furler). I was thinking back on it and thinking about some of the reefing stuff I've read in other threads today, and I guess my brain stopped working.
What keeps the sails rolled up? I know to furl them, you pull on a rope that turns the furler and it rolls it up, but I don't remember ever cleating that line off or seeing the captain cleat it. What prevents the sail from unrolling if the wind picks up or something? This seems especially problematic for the genoa. The captain isntructed us to keep the genoa sheets reasonably tight when the sail is furled so that they can be used as something to grab onto in an emergency if you're falling overboard... the tension should unroll the sail unless something is keepng the furler in place. As far as reefing, there must be a way to get the furlers for both sails to stop at a given position so you can trim the sail with the sheet/outhaul and it won't just continue to unfurl.
What am I missing or forgetting?

Handicap Parking In Europe
I did the advanced search on Google and couldn't find this specifically addressed on here so I then did some searching elsewhere and thought I would post what I found out. Valid U.S. Disabled Parking Placards can be used in EU member countries (assuming you can find a disabled parking space). For folks like me who are travelling with a family member with mobility issues/disabilities, this is excellent information to have.

Tissue grafts and stem cell therapy helped prevent the amputation of a 49-year-old man's foot after a cut became infected with necrotizing fasciitis. After other interventions failed, podiatrist Spence Misner treated the wound with tissue grafts embedded with human stem cells. After repeated applications of the tissue, donated by Osiris Therapeutics, ligament, muscle, fat and skin regrew. Misner and patient Bobby Ross tell the story that began in 2011 with a cut caused by a piece of glass.

In news that strains believability like a shark- infested tornado, a world champion nordic skier from Norway -- the country that both invented and dominates the sport of cross-country skiing -- is in Alaska to check out how Americans like Kikkan Randall and Holly Brooks got so good.
Not long ago, such a concept would have been incredulous. It's American skiers who make pilgrimages to Norway in an effort to get faster, not the other way around.
Astrid Jacobsen, the 2007 world champion in the sprint, will join Randall and Brooks for a two-week training camp that starts Monday in Anchorage with a week of dryland training and then heads to Eagle Glacier for a week of on-snow training.
Jacobsen, who has earned four World Championship medals and 27 World Cup medals, is one of nine skiers participating in the third annual North American Women's Training Alliance camp.
Canada's Chandra Crawford, the 2006 Olympic gold medalist in the sprint, is here too, as is Switzerland's Bettina Gruber, who has registered a number of top-10 finishes in World Cup competitions.
Also on hand is the bulk of the U.S. Ski Team women's squad -- Randall, Brooks, Sadie Bjornsen, Jessie Diggins, Liz Stephen and Ida Sargent. With Randall leading the way, the U.S. women are a burgeoning international power that had at least one contender in almost every World Cup race last season.
"I come from a big team with long traditions for cross-country skiing," Jacobsen, 26, said Saturday. "In one way we have dominated the sport, but we have also seen in the last few years the American team has really stepped it up with a lot of motivation and good spirits.
"Maybe we can learn something from each other."
That a top Norwegian skier wants to see how Americans train is remarkable enough. That one is willing to do so in an Olympic season -- the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, are less than seven months away -- borders on astounding.
"It's always a big commitment to travel so far and make the time change and train with people you haven't trained before," Randall, a four-time Olympian, said. "It's cool she was up for the challenge. It's fun for us to be able to talk to her about training and ideas."
Jacobsen said the fact it's an Olympic season helped drive her decision to come to Alaska.
"Our national team has such a strict plan," she said. "I feel in one way we are going in circles, we are doing everything we are familiar with, nothing with new input or new places. So for me it was important to try to go training with some new people and get maybe some new ideas and also motivation.
"Even though it's an Olympic year and you want to be (concerned) with details, you come to a place where details don't matter anymore if you get tired of them."
This is the third year for the camp, and each year a handful of foreign athletes join the Americans.
"Every year it's probably been the highlight of the training season for me," Brooks, a member of the 2010 Olympic team, said. "It's the best training of the year because it's such a high quality group to train with, but it's also the most fun.
"That's the success of the women's team -- hard work is fun for us. It's one and the same for us."
The benefit of the camps extends beyond physical training. It's a way for the Americans to forge relationships with competitors on the other side of the world. Three-time Olympic medalist Aino-Kaisa Saarinen of Finland attended last year's camp, and when the World Cup went to Finland last winter, "we actually got to go over to her house and have home-cooked meals," Brooks said. "And that is a big deal when you're living out of a suitcase for five months."
Since arriving in Anchorage on Tuesday, Jacobsen has seen plenty of new people and new places. Randall is her host, and together they've been roller skiing, mountain biking and running all over town.
She said she's impressed with what she's seen.
"I told Kikkan, this place here, you have all the terrain and all the roads and options for training to bring you to the highest level as fast as possible," Jacobsen said. "Seriously, I mean it. An athlete living here should be aware that everything is possible from this area. And for sure the glacier is closer here than any glacier we have in Norway."
Randall, the reigning World Cup sprint champion who will go for a third straight championship this season, said it's fun to show off Alaska to foreign skiers.
"It's always cool for Europeans to come over and see big, bad America," she said. "We haven't gone to Costco yet."

The best steak I've had for a while. Great atmosphere, staff were excellent.
03 November 2014
from London
Draped in cowhide and white leather, Gaucho Sloane Square is as dramatic as it is elegant. As an Argentinean steakhouse, diners are guaranteed the very best meats, wines and ambience. Superb cocktails and cigars are served from the bar.
Argentina is famed for its steaks, and the Gaucho Sloane Square menu maintains this reputation. A variety of tender cuts are served, including picana. As well as gourmet burgers, a range of specialities include fillets of bream with crispy serano ham, and irresistible vegetarian options like ricotta and basil tortellini.
Gaucho London takes pride in its huge range of wines from Argentina, including rare bottles. Argentinean grappas and liqueurs from Mendoza sit alongside great beers and colourful cocktails. Meals can be finished in style with the cigar range and selection of Armagnacs and whiskies from the bar.
Chic and stylish, yet with all the passion and welcome of Latin America, Gaucho in Brompton is a 7-minute walk from South Kensington Tube Station.

Grading for the Summer II session is open. Summer II grades are due at noon on Tuesday, August 23.
Faculty Self-Service Improvement
Faculty can now view their future teaching assignments through GoWMU before the schedule of courses is open. This has been done to assist with the textbook requirement that went into effect with the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) of 2008.

Now instructors will be able to access their future teaching assignments well in advance of when the textbook orders are due. Spring 2012 assignments are currently available.
Looking ahead, Spring 2012 textbook information is due September 26.
December Graduation Application Deadline
The deadline for students to apply for December 2011 graduation is being extended to September 16. The extension is to allow students who are away from campus over the summer time to meet with an advisor and submit their paperwork to the Registrar's Office when they return in the fall.

COW #319: Pokemon re-design - WIPs Thread
COW #319: Pokemon re-design - WIPs Thread
For more information and details about the rules of Creature of the Week go here:
COW #319: Pokemon Re-Design
I have been putting off this topic for a little while, but I felt now's a better time than any to once and for all make this available to the creature designers of Creature of the Week! Behold Pokemon, the popular nintendo franchise filled with wondrous and fascinating pocket monsters! There are more than 700 pokemon that have been announced so far, 719 to be exact. As a result there will be plenty of creatures to choose from, but I want you to please keep in mind, there are a large amount of pokemon that would break some of the rules of CoW or would not be considered technically creatures (ex, Machamp, Bellsprout, Ditto, Magnemite; to name a few). I will not restrict you from picking one of these pokemon, but I would ask that you try to avoid picking one of these since others would be better suited for Creature of the Week. However if you do decide to re-design one of those "other" pokemon, do try your best to 'adjust' their design so that they can properly fit into the rules of COW (at least if you wanna make the poll).
One last thing that I require for participants in this round, this is going to be a first come first serve style round, so you cannot use a pokemon that someone else has already laid a claim to. Therefore before designing a final piece you must have called a 'claim' on your chosen pokemon here within the WIPS THREAD, otherwise you will not be included in the poll. So without further ado, you are required this round to re-design any of the 719 Pokemon from the popular video game franchise.
Round Requirements:
-you can choose any of the 719 pokemon, but please keep the rules in mind when designing your pokemon.
Here's a complete list of Pokemon to help you choose
-you MUST claim your chosen pokemon in the wips thread in order for it to be included in the poll
These are the claims made so far, any pokemon listed below are no longer available for designing unless the artist that has claimed them states they no longer want to use that pokemon for their entry:

-Remember to make the design your own rather than just a realistic interpretation of your chosen pokemon
-I would also ask that you would provide a small thumbnail of the original artwork or sprite for the sake of comparison and the fact that it'll be easier to identify it as a pokemon since there are so many available now
Wednesday May 7, 11:59:59 PM EST (GMT -4)
This thread is the WIPs Thread, meant for uploading any wips, sketches, and ideas for your creature's concepts, as well as any crits, comments, reference images, and discussions relating to the topic! Please submit your final entries to the Finals Thread which can be found here, otherwise your entry will not be included into the poll!
If you have any ideas for a future topic for Creature of the Week you are free to add your own ideas and suggestions to the Topic Suggestion Thread!

After a little contemplation, I've decided to put a claim on Salamence instead, I think I'll have more fun with him. That means Sableye is back up for grabs.

Moirae: Don't miss understand, I did not restrict the use of any pokemon so long as your final design still adheres to the rules...it is perfectly acceptable if a creature has a couple human qualities (such as human-like hands) so long as it's final design isn't too humanoid. Neat start so far on the sketch, before going to far with it see what else you can do in terms of concept.
Archerion: I didn't recognize the name at first and assumed it was a Japanese name, however I looked it up and it appears to be a fan-made pokemon that evolves from Houndoom. You have to choose one of the official 719 Pokemon from the games in order to participate this round. You are free to use Houndoom if you want, or even Mega Houndoom. As I will allow Megas for this round.

Okay Flygon got swooped, but I guess its not the end yet. I was just wondering though how creative can you get with the re-design? I want to do dunsparce http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wi...arce_(Pokémon) but he is pretty pathetic on his own... I'm not laying claim to it but uhhh yeah just wondering

Xionix: You can go absolutely nuts with the design! So long as we can still recognize the final design to be your chosen pokemon, then the sky's the limit!

April 25th, 2014 #29
Cool idea! I'm not familiar with any particular pokemon (except Pikachu ofc..), so it's a little hard to choose and keep track of which ones have already been taken. Perhaps you could keep a list in the first post of which have been chosen and by whom? (Also it looks like two people are doing Pyroar.)
Anyway, I'm gonna try Sawsbuck.

"Patti LuPone pulls out all the stops for her Widow Begbick... The real find here - both vocally and physically - is Audra McDonald's Jenny. No one should have any difficulty believing this sexy and slinky black woman as Jenny. She is experienced in both opera and musical theater, and steals the show.

Detailed schedule has been drawn up for immersion processions
Security has been strengthened across the urban and rural areas with the police stepping up patrolling and intensifying vehicle checks to ensure smooth and peaceful Vinayaka Chathurthi celebrations on Monday.
City Police Commissioner A.K. Viswanathan said that permission had been given for installation of nearly 340 idols in the city limits.
More than 2,000 police personnel would be deployed for security, regulating the crowd and the processions. Each and every idol would be provided with a police escort.
The number of squads had been increased and surveillance of sensitive areas stepped up.
In the city limits, there would be as many as 149 idols by Hindu Munnani, 20 by Shiv Sena, 30 by Bharat Sena, 41 by Indu Makkal Katchi – Hanuman Sena, 29 by Indu Makkal Katchi – Tamilagam, 9 by Bharatiya Janata Party, 19 by Vishwa Hindu Parishad, 11 by Vivekananda Peravai and there would be around more than 30 idols from the public.
To ensure peaceful completion of the immersion processions, a detailed schedule had been drawn up. Immersion of idols was allowed in urban areas on September 9, 10, 11, 13, 15. M. Sudhakar, Superintendent of Police, Coimbatore Rural, said that more than 700 personnel had been mobilised for security duty. Permission had been given for around 1,100 idols. Immersion of idols in rural areas was allowed on September 10, 11, 12 and 15. The procession organisers had also been instructed to provide security for the idols.
Cases registered
The Kattoor police on Saturday registered a case against State General Secretary of Bharat Sena Senthil Kannan and district organiser Kumaresan for erecting a flex board without permission near Power House.
Separately, five persons were arrested on Saturday for digging pits and erecting pandhals without permission on Sundakkamuthur Main Road near Moovendhar Nagar for Vinayaka Chathurthi celebrations.
Based on a complaint from V. Nandhini, Village Administrative Officer, the Kuniamuthur police registered a case against R. Kathiresan (29), N. Prabhu (27), R. Rajendran (23), M. Sathish (23), and S. Manivannan (23).

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has canceled the team's trademark registration after concluding its name and logo are disparaging to Native Americans.

A little more than a month after the Islamic Society of Joplin mosque was destroyed by fire, the local Muslim community is moving forward with support from the interfaith community. But progress is slow.
For now, one mosque member has opened up his home for prayers and gatherings. There are about 40 families in the Muslim community, but not everyone comes for all the prayers. The most crowded time is Fridays, when about 30 or 40 people gather.
A group of religious leaders signed a full-page advertisement of support in The Joplin Globe, the local newspaper. Jill Michael, a pastor at South Joplin Christian Church, said many of the Christian leaders involved in the advertisement have divisive doctrinal differences, yet they came together for the Islamic community.
Some churches posted the words "love thy neighbor" on their signs. Sojourners, a national Christian social justice organization, threw in its support [4] with an electronic billboard message: "Love your Muslim neighbors."
