Rated 4 out of 5 by Marlon A Friend & I visited the restaurant in the late dinner window, 1 hr before closing, middle of the week. There was one other occupied table. As such, service was very attentive. The menu is extensive, specializing in vegetarian fare, and the pricing is very affordable, with many apps, rice, noodle and entree dishes less than $10. Recommended: Crispy Won Ton w/cream cheese filling, vegetarian chow mein w/fried tofu & the fried prawns in garlic-chili sauce. Dec 13, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Lawrence L Salmon entree was overcooked, dry, virtually tasteless, as was the other parts of the dish. Bowl of won ton soup had little in the ravioli, no substance, but not unexpected for a vegetarian restaurant. More filling would be advisable in the won ton.Scallop entree was flavorless, scallops cold. Also very little of substance in the rest of the dish. More spices are needed, larger noticeable vegetable pieces rather than minced up into unrecogziable mixture. Dec 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by King W We did not realize this is a restaurant serving vegetarian dish. But we enjoyed the change anyway. Nov 21, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Steven C Disappointing dishes. Slow service. Sep 7, 2014

Close Is Fine is a collection of 8 short stories featuring people who live and work on farms, at blue-collar jobs, and in the forests and taverns of Wisconsin, especially the area around Antigo and Shawano, and is a good choice for people who appreciate reflective, character-driven stories with a Wisconsin connection. These are not stories of dramatic redemption or tearful endings. The appeal of the stories is in the description of one particular event that happens to an ordinary individual at one point in time.
Vince Flynn is an author I turn to when I am in the mood for action and suspense. Last Man, the author's latest installment in the Mitch Rapp series, was just what I was looking for. It is a fast paced thriller set in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and as in other books in this series, it highlights numerous challenges faced by Mitch Rapp as a CIA operative. And, I do mean numerous. First, the head of CIA operations in Afghanistan is kidnapped and his bodyguards executed. Next, Mitch uncovers a global plot to discredit the United States and expose many of the CIA's hidden secrets.
Need a little holiday spirit? Is the hustle and bustle of this time of year getting you down? Try reading a good book with a holiday theme to make your spirit bright. Two of my favorites this year are A Winter Dream by Richard Paul Evans, and Angels at the Table by Debbie Macomber. Newly released, and just in time for the holidays, both of these quick reads touch on the true meaning of caring, sharing, family and forgiveness.
Fans of Stuart Woods might enjoy reading the latest novel by Randy Wayne White titled Gone. The greatest similarity between the two authors is the Florida setting, followed by the smooth flowing dialogue. Known for his Doc Ford novels, in which Ford is a marine biologist and sometime investigator, this new novel by White introduces a stunning new character, Hannah Smith. She is a descendant of the legendary Florida Smith women - Sarah, known as the 'Ox Woman' and Hannah, known as 'Big Six'.
Like so many other authors, Karen Robards decided to follow the popular paranormal route in her latest novel, Last Victim. Charlotte "Charlie" Stone is a psychologist studying serial killers for the Department of Justice. She is definitely qualified for this profession because as a teenager she was the only survivor of a killer known as the Boardwalk Killer. Having witnessed her friend's family brutally murdered, Charlie has since dedicated her life to finding out what makes these killers do what they do.
Another great story by one of my favorite authors. As with her other books, reading Porch Lights made me long to visit the South Carolina Lowcountry, specifically Sullivan's Island, the setting for most of her books and where the author was born and raised. The way she describes the grasslands, amazing sunsets, and the gentle ocean breezes make it sound like paradise.
Silver Sparks by Starr Ambrose is a contemporary romance with lots of "sparks". The story begins with Maggie Larkin being groped by arrogant Hollywood playboy Rafael de Luca (Rafe) in a posh Alpine ski resort in Two Bears Mountain, Colorado. Little does he know that he picked the wrong fiery redhead to try and dazzle with his so-called irresistible charms. When grinding her three-inch heels into his toes doesn't work to fend off his unwanted attentions, Maggie is left no choice but to drive her palm up into his perfect, surgically enhanced, nose to get her point across.
Echo through the Snow is a new book that is set in and around Bayfield, Wisconsin and in and around the Red Cliff Reservation from 1992-1994 and in far northeastern Siberia mainly in 1929.
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn is a must-read for those who enjoy stories with a plot that keeps you guessing until the very end. To be honest, when I read the first few paragraphs I did not think I was going to like it. Seriously. In the first few paragraphs a man is talking about the shape of his wife's head and how when he first saw it he thought she had a "finely shaped head". OK. Next, he describes how he could picture himself opening her skull, un-spooling her brain, and sifting through it.
Parodies are meant to poke fun at things and Fifty Shames of Earl Grey by Fanny Merkin (aka Andrew Shaffer) does just that. It doesn't just poke fun at the popular erotic series; it takes aspects of the first in the erotic series, Fifty Shades of Grey by E. L. James, and raises them to a whole different level - of absurd and outrageous – and outrageous is putting it mildly. I will admit it. I did read James's Fifty Shades of Grey. I wanted to find out what all the commotion was about, and I would have to say I am still not quite sure.

Hart traces the thought of both Barth and Brunner before their alliance and demonstrates that the issues that ultimately divided them were present in their thinking from the beginning. Brunner was always put off by the "one-sidedness" of Barth's emphasis on election and God's sovereignty. Barth never approved on Brunner's attempt to bring philosophy (– ultimately, Kantian ethics, Kierkegaardian existentialism and Ebnerian dialogicalism) "under one arch" with Reformation theology.
The book makes a unique contribution to an understanding Brunner's theology by discussing in-depth their different reactions to the Oxford Group Movement (OGM) . Barth was adamantly opposed pietistic revival movements like the OGM while Brunner's thought always had a missionary impulse. His program of "eristics" (from the Greek word "to debate") -- a program that Barth belittled -- was designed to probe for the "point of contact" within man where an opening could be found for the Word. Brunner saw both dialectical theology and OGM as expressions of the same renewal movement within Christianity. Hart explains why the OGM movement meshed well with Brunner's program of eristics:
In essence, Brunner's eristics was a modernization of revivalism. In the revival pattern, the preacher spends considerable time upon the "bad news" (sin, judgment, hell), bringing people (on the "sinners' bench") to a "conviction of sin", in order that they would turn to Christ in faith. Brunner found the logic of evangelistic strategy impeccable, but its form had to be completely revised since modern people rejected the concepts of sin, judgment and hell. Therefore, Brunner updated it: the eristician (an intellectual) reasons (not preaches) with modern people about the weakness of their world-view by appealing to their feelings of existential despair and moral failure, in order that they would examine Christianity as an alternative and valid explanation of reality. This "updated revivalism" is precisely what appealed to Brunner in the Oxford Group Movement.Hart also makes it clear that there is a broad divergence in the way that the two theologians made use of the thought of the Reformers:
In addition, their different appropriation of the Reformation partly explains why Barth and Brunner talked past each other in the natural theology debate. Barth wearied of Brunner's citations of Calvin, since Brunner missed "the intentions of Reformation theology." Brunner, for his part, was highly suspicious of Barth's claim that, in order to "adhere to the teaching of the Reformation" it was necessary to re-write "what Calvin wrote in those first chapters of the Institutes." Brunner was constantly exasperated with Barth's historical argument because he assumed that Barth was using the Reformers in the same way as himself -- i.e., in a "Neo-Reformationist" manner – rather than Barth's free and radical manner.Brunner's influence on theological thought has always been overshadowed by that of Barth. There is no point in denying that Barth is the more forceful and creative thinker of the two. Nevertheless, Hart's book could be helpful in restoring an appreciation of an interest in the thought of Emil Brunner. The book is also an excellent way for students of theology to penetrate the thought of Karl Barth.

It was a very special moment on "The Daily Show" Wednesday (Aug. 6), as the nine living members of Wu-Tang Clan reunited to talk about their new album and even perform a couple songs. Even the late ODB was represented, via an old Wu-Tang T-shirt.
The album, "A Better Tomorrow," doesn't have an official release date just yet. However, the band performed "Ron O'Neal," a track from it. They also rapped their classic "Triumph," which was the show's "Moment of Zen."

Afghanistan war critic wins UK Parliament seat
nepal An outspoken critic of the war in Afghanistan claimed Friday that public anger over the conflict propelled him to a surprise victory in a special election for a seat in Britain's House of Commons.
George Galloway, a leftist political maverick, won the Bradford West seat in northern England - a district that includes a large Muslim community - with a majority of more than 10,000 votes, as support for the country's mainstream lawmakers crumbled.
The election was triggered by the resignation of main opposition Labour Party legislator Marsha Singh due to ill health, but Singh's party had been expected to comfortably retain the seat it had held for more than 30 years.
Galloway, who was voted out of Parliament in Britain's 2010 national election, dubbed his victory the "Bradford spring" - likening it to pro-democracy uprisings in the Middle East - and claimed it was "the most sensational result in British by-election history bar none."
He insisted that resentment at mainstream political parties over the conflict in Afghanistan, which has so far seen 407 British military personnel killed since 2001, had been decisive.
"They have to stop supporting illegal, bloody, costly foreign wars," Galloway said, as the result was announced. "The public don't believe that they have atoned for their role in the invasion and occupation of other people's countries and the drowning of those countries in blood."
Labour's candidate Imran Hussain polled second behind Galloway - losing around 20 percent of the party's votes compared to 2010 - while both members of Britain's coalition government, the Conservative Party and the smaller Liberal Democrats, also saw their support fall.
Galloway, who was expelled from the country's Labour Party in 2003 for urging British soldiers not to fight in Iraq, represents the anti-war Respect party, and he will be the organization's only House of Commons legislator.
He said his victory proved the British public no longer supported efforts by the U.S. and NATO in Afghanistan. International forces are due to end their combat role in the country in 2014.
"The war will end on the same terms it could have last week, or last year, or any year in the last 10 years," Galloway told Britain's Sky News. "We don't have the blood to spare and we certainly don't have the treasure to spare in Britain to be going around the world occupying other people's countries and having our young men coming home in boxes."
Galloway is known in Britain for his strident opposition to the U.S.-led invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq - but also for an appearance in 2006 on the reality television series "Big Brother," when he dressed in a red leotard and lapped imaginary milk as he pretended to be a cat.
"I think his celebrity was a very significant factor," Labour lawmaker Toby Perkins said, explaining his party's defeat. "Bradford is an important city for the party and it has come as a big shock the way that things have changed over the past few weeks."

Residents of Blythe Bridge fear for future of Library as volunteers expected to run it
Posted: August 01, 2014|
VILLAGERS have packed a public meeting to voice fears for the future of their library.
They are angry that Staffordshire County Council wants to pull out of running Blythe Bridge Library over the next three years and replace the staff with volunteers.
They aired their views at a public meeting over the future of the library this week.
But they have hit out after just 50 residents were allowed to attend the meeting because of a shortage of space.

There are no plans to close libraries
Judith Bentley, of Blythe Bridge, who attended the meeting, said: "We are disappointed there was room for only 50 people because a lot more villagers are concerned about this.
"It is morally wrong to tell the volunteers they will to have raise their own funds to run the library.
"It is disgusting and, ultimately, if they can't raise the money then the library closes anyway.
"We are fighting a losing battle.
"There have always been volunteers in the area, like with the cubs or scouts, but they have been supplementary.
"Libraries are a public service and should be a given. Running the library and managing the building is too much.
"Where does it stop? We will be given helmets, jackets and hoses soon."
Parish councillor Joe Cornwall said: "This is such a well-used resource.
"Many elderly people, including myself, enjoy going in for a book and using the other services.
"I believe people will come forward to save it.
"But we are all paying rates for services such as this, yet we are being deprived of them.
"People will have to volunteer because you can't win against the council.
"It would be a real shame if we lost the library."
Council leaders want volunteers to run 24 of their 43 libraries to save cash after seeing the number of visitors fall.
Residents are being consulted about the plan with a final decision expected to be made next year.
County councillor Mike Lawrence, cabinet member for communities, pictured left, told the residents: "This is not a library closure programme.
"We understand people love their libraries – they are community assets and community hubs.
"They are not just about lending books and reading. There are lots of activities which take place, all connected with what the community wants to do."
But he added: "Now it is all about the internet and there has been less footfall coming into our libraries.
"We are trying to ensure we have a comprehensive and efficient library service and prepare it for the future.
"We want to make it a safe, relevant asset in five, 10 or even 20 years' time."

While some who recall the "golden era of train travel" believe that a train conductor simply walks the aisles and punches tickets, the reality is that this job has morphed considerably over time. Today's train conductors do hard, heavy work in all weather conditions and at all hours of the day and night. Essentially, they are responsible for making sure that trains operate as efficiently as possible, no matter what could go wrong.Read More...
Most train conductors start out as conductor trainees who work on-call hours and have no predictable schedule. While they are generally required to hold a high school diploma or GED, they learn the vast majority of their work through training provided by their employer. The ability to lift 80 pounds is an absolute requirement, for example, since this is the weight of the often-replaced knuckles which connect train cars to one another.
Of course, railroad conductors are required to travel extensively. Training is generally carried out in one location, while the conductor may be based in another location. Despite this, a conductor may have to travel extensively to go where the company needs him. Those in this position are generally not guaranteed a minimum number of hours, though they are compensated at a very high rate per-hour. Once fully-fledged, they can get as much as five weeks of paid vacation per year.
A somewhat unique requirement of this and other railroad jobs is to join the railroad labor union, and they are expected to remain members for as long as they're employed in the industry.
Railroad Conductors flock to CSX Corp, Norfolk Southern Corporation, BNSF Railway Company, Union Pacific Railroad, and Genesee and Wyoming Inc., highly regarded companies that employ a generous number of people in this profession. BNSF Railway Company offers the largest salaries in town ($73K on average), but the considerable range in workers' salaries creates a rather varied pay scale that stretches from $52K to $120K.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Railroad Conductors with a lot of experience do not necessarily enjoy more money. Salaries of relatively inexperienced workers fall in the neighborhood of $48K, but folks who have racked up five to 10 years see a notably higher median of $61K. Railroad Conductors who work for 10 to 20 years in their occupation tend to earn about $70K. Folks who have racked up more than 20 years in the field report incomes that aren't that much higher than less experienced individuals' earnings; the veterans make just $72K on average.

So, this was a full bed of Tour Bite 17 strung at 30 lbs?
Yes it was a full bed.
And it certainly is thinking out of the box. But honestly, it wasn't my idea. While I have to say that I've ALWAYS preferred low tensions (stringing with 42-48 lb. syn gut is not unusual for me in a 90 sq. in. frame), the idea of using poly at extremely low tensions was pioneered in this thread:
I just ran with the idea, as I've always liked low tensions and I wanted to see how much spin and control I could gain with poly as opposed to syn gut. In my brief experience with low tensions in the 30 lb. range, I've noticed that not all polys are created equal. Soft polys seem to work better, but not always. I really enjoyed playing with Polystar Energy in my 90 sq. in. frame at 30 lb. It was awesome. But Tourna Big Hitter Blue at 34 lb. just STUNK! Tour Bite at 30 lb. is awesome. I hope it holds tension better than the Polystar Energy, which lost tension pretty quickly (within 2 hours) and was quite literally unplayable (uncontrollable, unpredictable) after about 6-8 hours of play. And the only reason I was able to stretch it out that long was that I'm already accustomed to playing with low tensions. I'm hoping to get more out of the Tour Bite.
At this point, I may try some of the cheaper Solinco strings to see if they are similar in performance. I'm not overly interested in getting 110% spin production out of the strings, as I'm more of an all-court player rather than a baseline basher, so I would probably be happy with one of the non-textured polys if I could save some money and get 80% of the performance of the Tour Bite.

Niu Ba Ba Serves World's Most Expensive Beef Noodle Soup in Taipei
Let's Dish: What's the Most You've Ever Spent on Food?
Like us on Facebook
At Niu Ba Ba in Taipei, Taiwan, noodle-slurpers shell out the equivalent of $324 US dollars for a bowl of the world's most expensive noodles. Though I love niu rou mien, and I read owner Wang Cong-Yuan's explanation for the high cost, I don't think I'd ever spend that kind of dough when I could get a meal at The French Laundry for the same price.
The concept left me recounting the most I've ever paid for a meal. I think it might've been the $250 bill I footed while dining at Bryan Caswell's Houston restaurant, Reef. What's the most you've ever spent on food?

most spent on a date with me and the boyfriend was ~$500 at fleur de lys in las vegas. my family goes out sometimes and the bill comes to a few thousand but there are 7 of us.

I'm a bit of a "tightbutt" when it comes to spending money on dining out. I tend to gravitate to the little hole-in-the-wall Mom and Pop gems that whip up great food on the cheap. That said, I did splurge on the tiniest bottle of white truffle oil in existence not too long ago. And oooooh yeah, it was worth it!

Years ago (in the 70's)we ate at Jean Louis of the Watergate in Washington, D.C. on New Year's Eve and my husband spent $99 for a 7 course dinner where each course had truffles in it, even the dessert. Can you imagine what that would cost now???

Oh my gosh, I went to a bachelorette dinner where the bill, split among nine girls for just our entree and drinks (and the bachelorette's meal split between eight of us) was $120 after tip. Outrageous! I also ordered a round of martinis for me and two girlfriends at the Roosevelt which came out to $60.
Jaime-Richards 4 years
Definitely not $324 for soup! I think the most I've spent on a meal out was this past Thanksgiving. My boyfriend and I decided to go out in lieu of cooking — and with drinks, appetizers, entrees, and dessert, it was almost $200. Yikes. It probably would have been cheaper to just cook at home!!

Holy cow! Maybe...$30? For my husband and I. Although, we once went out with large group to a really expensive restaurant where the host paid. Which I was VERY thankful for since the only vegetarian option they had was some romaine lettuce which was my "salad." Definitely the most expensive meal I've eaten that left me the hungriest.

I'm obsessed with the name Marlo/Marlow/Marlowe for a girl. When I hear the name, I think it sounds ethereal and would grow nicely into an adult name. However, I'm aware not everyone feels that way about the name and I don't want to burden my daughter with a name that's too masculine. I also wonder if the middle name we've chosen (Rose in honor of a family member) makes it sound too "O" heavy.
What do you all think?
Also, which spelling do you prefere? Marlo/Marlow/Marlowe?

Marlo makes me think of actress Marlo Thomas. Marlow looks like it lost its "e". My favourite is Marlowe (like writer Christopher Marlowe). I like the name well enough and I don't find it too masculine for a girl. Marlowe Rose has repetitive "o" sounds but family significance trumps flow every time.All the best,

Marlow or Marlowe work for me. I have mostly seen it with an E at the end, so I'd go with that.
I would certainly pair is with a super femme name like Rose, even if there's double O sound.
Also there are quite a few Rose names:
Marlowe Rosalie*I think the lee ending balances out the r and o sounds in the first name
Marlowe Rosamund
Marlowe Rosalind* Love this
Marlowe Rosabel or Marlowe Rosalyn

Today's guest editor is Danielle Fox, the editor of Stringing, Beads 2008, and Bead Star magazines and the author of the new book Simply Modern Jewelry (Interweave, 2008).
Artists Inspiring Other Artists
by Danielle Fox
In my editor's letter in the Summer issue of Stringing, I mention how a comment from Beth Garbo, owner of Mystic, Connecticut's You've GOT to be Beading, struck a chord with me: "Our customers love Stringing magazine—it's awesome to see them inspired by other artists." It made me realize that the magazine really is about artists inspiring other artists. And that realization made me think about how I've been inspired to make projects because of something I saw in Stringing or other publications and how other people have been inspired by my work.
Some people stick to the exact recipe for projects they see in beading publications, especially beginners who are still trying to master techniques, let alone experiment with beads. That's why at Stringing, we're so diligent about listing resource information for as many materials used in a project as possible. It's when people start experimenting, though—whether by necessity (beads are sold out, no resource is given, beads used are vintage, etc.) or purposely (they don't like the original colors used, the project sparked a different idea, etc.) —that things get interesting!
If you've been inspired by Stringing, I invite you to send a picture of your design to me at firstname.lastname@example.com. We have a very underused gallery portion of our website devoted to showcasing just such work!
Don't be shy—share! We need to keep the creative pool fluid.
Example 1: Spiny Knotted Bracelet
I saw Stephanie Sersich's demo of her Spiny Knotted Bracelet at the Portland Bead Expo in April—she made it look so easy, I couldn't wait to make my own! This project is featured in Stephanie's new book, Designing Jewelry with Glass Beads. Stephanie's bracelet is a great project, I found, for using up extra daggers and teardrop beads in my stash.
Example 3: Renaissance CharmI love how Beadwork's editor in chief, Marlene Blessing, used green crystals with natural brass findings in her version of Renaissance Charm bracelet, which was first published in Easy Wire 2007. Marlene will teach this bracelet project on the television show, Beads Baubles & Jewels (Episode 809). Now you can try your own version of this project! I'd love to see what you come up with!Free Project: Renaissance Charm by Danielle FoxCreate a fast and fabulous charm bracelet by simply attaching charms, rings, and/or beads of your choice (here the stars are gorgeous rings by Christi Anderson of Elemental Adornments) to chain using jump rings and wrapped loops.
hi Danielle, my name is BeBe and I am inspired by your examples. I see how a design can start a project but then the project can take on a 'life of its own' and go in another direction. All examples are similar but totally different as seen through the eyes of someone else. Thank you so much for your article, I am going to start a similar project of my own but using pmc and dichroic glass, should be absolutely unique...BeBe of tucson

Houston Routs the Trail Blazers Friday night The Houston Rockets are the top-scoring team in the NBA. Friday night at the Rose Garden, they showed why. With James Harden leading the way, the Rockets blew out Portland 116-98 for their fourth straight victory. Harden went for 33 points, seven rebounds and six assists as Houston remained in seventh place in the Western Conference playoff race, a game behind Golden State. "He makes that team go," Portland's LaMarcus Aldridge said. "I'm not saying he's LeBron (James), but he's like LeBron in that he likes to pass the ball, he's so good at the pick-and-roll and he's so hard to guard."

The furore over the recent rape cases has taken a toll on the city police commissioner Raghavendra H Auradkar and additional commissioner of police (law and order) Kamal Pant. The government, on Monday evening, ordered the transfer of the two top police brass of the city, replacing them with additional director general of police (law & order) M N Reddi and IGP (grievances and human rights) Alok Kumar respectively.
The opposition parties had attacked the Congress government over the recent rape incidents and this had led to an embarrassed for the party at the national level. There was immense pressure to drop home minister K J George from the cabinet following the incident. The government has, however, transferred the two top cops of the city.
Interestingly, Auradkar has been transferred to the post which was earlier held by ADGP P Ravindranath, who had filed an atrocity case against the former recently, in connection with the case in which Ravindranath was accused of taking objectionable photographs of a young woman at a cafe. It is also said that chief minister Siddaramaiah had made up his mind to shunt Auradkar out then itself as the CM was upset about the way Auradkar handled the case. However, the CM had dropped the plan for political reasons.
But the recent rape incidents and the ensuing protests forced the government to act tough and as a result, Auradkar and Kamal Pant have been transferred. In fact, the day from when Auradkar took charge on April 5, many other senior IPS officers had reportedly tried to resist his appointment citing that their seniority was overlooked in the appointment.
The new police commissioner M N Reddi, an IPS officer of the batch of 1984, has earlier served in the city at various capacities. Even, Alok Kumar has the experience of serving in the city earlier.

- Record Label: Vagrant
- Release Date: Jan 24, 2012
- Critic Score
- Most active
- Publication
- Most clicked
Feb 1, 2012All the things that give an album its personality--the sound of a band finding its feet, the little tempo fluctuations, the requisite "are we rolling, Bob?" fits and starts--are here in spades.
Feb 7, 2012He nails three [songs] flat-out....The rest tend more, how to say it, evocative.
Jan 24, 2012As a solo artist, Finn has created a new world of characters and songs that's rich enough on its own, and worth someday revisiting.
Feb 6, 2012This is an album that feels as much like a series of compelling stories as it does a collection of fine songs. [21 Jan 2012, p.53]
Jan 24, 2012Anyone expecting the bar rock bravado of the Hold Steady is probably going to be disappointed by Clear Heart Full Eyes' subdued vibe, but anyone looking for more of Craig Finn's sprawling tales will feel right at home.
Jan 23, 2012Instead of howling about misspent youth against huge, churning guitar riffs, he ruminates on the wages of adulthood, musically enveloped in a cosmic, plaintive version of Americana.
Jan 9, 2012Clear Heart Full Eyes is a low-key triumph, containing some of the most emotionally satisfying work Finn has yet produced. [Feb 2012, p.82]
Jan 9, 2012This record is the result of Finn turning his hand to songwriting for the very first time and, yes, he's nailed it.
Feb 8, 2012With Clear Heart Full Eyes he's established himself, tentatively, as a man apart from his band.
Jan 20, 2012These windy beach narratives tend to lie back in the hammock when they should be shooting the curl. [27 Jan 2012, p.71]
Feb 10, 2012The arrangements are simple, often pretty ... but mostly they serve to support the delivery of some of Finn's most evocative and well observed lyrics.
Jan 25, 2012With much of the flash stripped aways from him, Craig Finn proves that he is a formidable songwriter first and foremost, and here we find him sitting on a stool and playing songs at his most comfortable.
Jan 24, 2012The Hold Steady this ain't, but as far as new directions go, Craig Finn could have done much worse.
Jan 24, 2012Finn's compelling without the usual bluster that provides him momentum--his voice never approaches its old roar but his nice melodic sense comes out here more.
Jan 24, 2012Cut with a country-rock pickup band, his first solo album is full of bleakly funny noir tales.
Jan 19, 2012Clear Heart Full Eyes is entirely at ease with itself, rarely forcing the issue beyond the gently affecting, but affecting is definitely the right word.
Jan 19, 2012Finn's best songs are the ones when he's fully in the present, in tune with every emotion and every detail his protagonists might experience during a particular moment.
Jan 25, 2012With his first solo release, Finn hasn't gone too far away from his core aesthetic, but the move is enough to justify his own album.
Feb 14, 2012The mood ... is decidedly bleak- populated by disillusioned lovers and working class escapists, the lyrics splitting at the seams with dark religious imagery.
Jan 20, 2012The Hold Steady is all about bombast and getting bombed. Clear Heart Full Eyes is about the morning after, and everything's a blur.
Feb 21, 2012Swapping The Hold Steady's white-knuckled intensity for skeletal drums and echoing guitar gives Finn's voice more room to manoeuvre. A welcome change of pace. [Mar 2012, p. 100]
Jan 24, 2012Finn certainly takes a paddle – if not quite a dive – into fresh sonic waters.
Jan 23, 2012Despite its flaws this first solo offering is a human record; brave and honest, both in content and purpose.
Jan 23, 2012Finn's gift survives even the more uneven experiments.
Jan 23, 2012There are some growing pains on Clear Heart Full Eyes, but mostly this is a compelling and rewarding turn for Finn.
Jan 20, 2012Finn has a nice line in sardonic, declamatory assessments – "Certain things get hard to do when you're living in a rented room"; "I'm alive, except for the inside" – but there's little comparable imagination to the arrangements, which lean towards ironic country-rock and dispirited blues-rock.
Jan 19, 2012Finn puts aside his usual shouty tales of druggy teenaged vagabonds to subtly engage with the quieter topics of God and love. [#39, p.68]
Jan 30, 2012The earnest but tepid Clear Heart Full Eyes, which as a solo album makes an excellent argument for sticking with your apostles.
Jan 24, 2012On Clear Heart Full Eyes, Finn brings the stories (he always brings the stories), but as a whole, the album sounds atypically half-hearted.
Mar 1, 2012The unfamiliarity between Finn and his backing group is palpable.
Jan 9, 2012What's left are halfhearted Hold steady wannabes and dull stabs at poignancy.

The Mars Volta :: 09.17.08 :: Hammerstein Ballroom :: New York, NY
The Mars Volta :: 09.20.08 :: Electric Factory :: Philadelphia, PA
The Mars Volta :: 09.21.08 :: Rams Head Live :: Baltimore, MD
While a basic repetition of the setlist looks a bit tiresome on paper, the song titles only partially capture what I witnessed. While still playing close to two hours, many tunes were shaved for this leg of the tour, but to say that this band likes to explore or stretch out does a disservice to what The Mars Volta is about because it fails to convey how out there they can take things. As with all bands in the jam genre, there are structured, written segments, and then there are the springboards that send those tunes into vague representations of themselves. While I have seen TMV overindulge in aimless jams in the past, I was never disinterested in the music on this run - there were no perceptible lags, no struggling to find their way and it was consistently enthralling to watch this band perform the re-create these songs.
So, while every night began with the appropriately named "Goliath," the breaks, the solos and the adventuring through the parts of that song led us into different energies on all three nights. In New York it was a monstrous rocker, but by the time they reached Baltimore there was a complete jazz stop - with a saxophone and drums duet that would have seemed out of place in the same tune a few nights earlier.
The audience at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia was mesmerized from the opening tune. The venue felt a bit cavernous, much like The Catalyst in Santa Cruz, but the sound was solid and all eyes remained front and center. After years of preaching against crowd surfacing and mosh pits, Cedric did not need to utter a word in Philly - although a noticeably younger crowd, everyone was well behaved and enthralled with the performance (in contrast to the near-melee of stupid drunks fighting in New York). Having seen these tunes played once through, I was able to focus more on the subtleties of the performance (and less on the possibility of being clocked by a hoodlum).
My observations: While Cedric has the role of frontman, guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez certainly has the reins. The composer and arranger of the studio music and the conductor onstage, he gives little cues to the other seven musicians regarding tempo, solos and dynamics. And when it comes time for him to do his thing on the guitar, the man shreds. He plays over, under and through the songs - his solos on "Viscera Eyes" and "Cygnus" were unfathomably bad-assed. I was listening to a 1969 live version of "Hot Tamales" recently and there certainly is a Santana influence in what The Mars Volta offer up during a jam, but it's a scary, deep, post-modern turn on the Latin tinged music of those rock legends. Whatever their influences, the band continues to evolve, regardless of whether they choose to play new tunes or dip back into the songbook.
So, my mini-tour wound down at the Rams Head Live, a 1,600 capacity intimate venue in Baltimore, where the sound was stellar. The featured ballad and minor radio song, "The Widow," sent true chills in this setting, featuring the fabulous fretwork by Juan Alderete on bass. Then, they transitioned into "Aberinkula" again and I knew it was ending.
During my time this past week, I had moments of being completely transformed - it's as close as I can get to seeing Led Zeppelin rip a blues jam or Pink Floyd space out in their respective heydays - which is to say, go see TMV now while they are living and pushing and performing in support of a monstrous record.
With minor changes in order, the setlists included:
Goliath, Viscera Eyes, Wax Simulacra, Eunuch Provocateur, Ouroboros, Ilyena, Cygnus... Vismund Cygnus, The Widow, Aberinkula (and Drunkship of Lanterns in NYC only)
The Mars Volta's next gig is Wednesday, October 1 in Arizona. They headline L.A.'s Detour Fest on Saturday. Mars Volta tour dates available here.

bring back Jon Theodore!
Mr_McDankenstein - I have to disagree. I was worried when I heard Theodore left, but Thomas Pridgen is an absolute MONSTER and Bedlam, imho of course, is their best album since De-loused. And if took Jon Theodore leaving Mars to bring Zack de la Roca out of semi-retirement ... all the better.
Nice review, AM.
i'm with you there matthew. i was worried when jon left, but thomas has proved to be the right guy for the job.
im still digesting Frances the Mute and Amputechture, not to mention scab dates.
i'll get around to bedlam by the time the release the next album.
Eunuch Provocateur!? Holy shit! Quality review.
Great review. Saw them twice in the past year, most recently in Philly on the 20th, and it was definitely one of the greatest shows I've ever been to. "I had moments of being completely transformed - it's as close as I can get to seeing Led Zeppelin rip a blues jam or Pink Floyd space out in their respective heydays." I was thinking of that exact comparison during the show. The Mars Volta are our generation's premier psychedelic rock band. See theses guys any chance you get.
this band is terrible
Agree with dsawthestone. This band sucks! I've seen them twice with the Red Hot chillie peppers and always thought the same thing! Sorry I've tried but they are just to screamo and not enough musician qualities I look for in a band.
SCIFreak...I think the absolute suckiness of RHCP put a bad taste in your mouth for Mars Volta. I mean, really, how many songs with California in the title or chorus can a band write?
^^Screamo? you sir, are an idiot
I have to say that these guys are one of the most unique acts around. They will blow your mind for reals. Saw them late night at Bonnaroo. That year, I was aksing folks whats the craziest shit to go see late night? everyone said to check out the Volta. So I did. Took a little psychadelic sumpin' sumpin' and let me tell you, Ive never seen so many hippies with blown away looks on their faces. Everyone was lookin' at each other like, this is fuckin' incredible! I've been crazy into them ever since. BELIEVE IT!
^^ one of those dude was me!! My volta cherry was popped at the roo and i will never look back! Oh, but TMV played Drunkship at Columbus, the first show of this tour and dedicated it to us for the previous cancellations
besides the drunkship typo's awesome review!! by far my favorite band, their jams bring me to wonderous places while scaring the shit out of me at the same time. Oh and SCIFreak stop talking shit if the only shows youve seen were on the rhcp tour. They were in between drummers and they crowds sucked. All of the Voltards in the audience felt it as did TMV. See them again with T.P. The man has the fastest chops I have ever seen live, and he doesnt stop for the entire show. While the band will drift into eerie soft jams, the non-stop ghost note fills are all over the place. Probably the best drummer i have EVER seen
my bad Aric you were probably just speaking of the three show run you witnessed in regards to the playing of drunkship... I wish I was there for all of them!
saw the Volta for the second time in Boston on 9-14 and it was one crazy ass show. It was about 100 degrees in the orpheum and the Volta rocked the socks off of everyone in Boston. Glad to see they still have not sold out to the arenas, and continue to play clubs and theatres. It was so crazy seeing Cedric sing Dirty Water by the Standells for the Bostonians! Such an obscure cover for the Volta to pull off, figured they cover some Floyd or Zappa or something they are rooted in. But long live the volta, and long live the Volta-ites, those who see the talent in this band are true music lovers, ......those who dont get it, well, dont GET it. Oh well, their loss :)
Mmmm. Let's see here I first caught them in 2003 they sucked, and then 4 years later they sucked even more. And anything is entertaining when you take 15 doses, doesn't change the fact that I think they suck! They have no substance, the lead singer is a freak! (also a douchebag seen him knocking beers of my and other peoples hands at a show, I mean c'mon man)
Red Hot chillie Peppers are tight as hell! What are you talking about man!
If you think they suck so much, why bother spend your time giving your gay opinions on every one of this bands articles on this site? That's the second time I read your stupid ass story about the beer being knocked over, making me feel that your the douchebag.
I can't wait to see them for the first time ever tomorrow in AZ, i've always heard their shows are really amazing and well worth it. i hope so since i spent $45 friggin dollars on this. the funny thing is, is that they were just added to the Voodoo Fest lineup after i got my ticket for the show here. Oh well, i'm sure it will be awesome times, one will have a more intimate setting whereas the other will have the festival setting. it will be cool to see both. For now, I'm off to see Sigur Ros...
Why do you "bother" reading my "gay" review then. This is a message board, I can say anything I want to. This band is horrible imo.
Matthew- I'm just a huge fan of how amazing they were up until amputechture, which I bought and enjoy only because it's The Mars Volta, but when Cedric and Omar took over the band and referred to themselves as "The partnership that is the mars Volta" I got turned off by what I took as them being arrogant, I saw them open for RHCP and although they opened with Roulette Dares it seemed like Cedric was too coked out to be on stage and Omar wasn't really playing anything relating to the music being held down by the other 20 people on stage, so I kind of got off the bus after Amputechture. Maybe I need to hear Bedlam, but I'm still going to fully advocate Jon Theodore's return to the fullest.
except for the fact that it did get Zach to make some new music with someone. I'm hoping he's just warming himself up for the best RATM album since Battle of Los Angeles.
okay first of all whoever was talking shit about the peppers doesn't know how to enjoy life. you can not like them, that's fine, but to talk shit about them is completely pointless, because if they heard you they would laugh in your face and not give a damn, then continue to pump out funky licks around the world as one of the most loved and respected bands in the last 30 years of rock history.
second, i saw TMV with the peppers also and the problem at that show (STL) was terrible sound mixing.. with so much going on in their tunes and it was up so loud it was just a big screeching mess, and from 20 feet off the rail it felt like my ears would bleed, but not in a good way. everybody was holding their ears and a few bad seeds threw some drinks up on stage. i was always upset because i love TMV albums, it was a big disappointment.
How can anyone dawg the chilli peppers. They've been making music since alot of you kids were in a womb, you learned to crawl, walk, then ride a bike and now you think you know music. Whatever, the volta raises hell and I love it!
Oh look everyone! SCI Freak is here with another close minded ignorant comment! Haven't we talked about this before SCIWookie? NO ONE GIVES A SHIT WHAT YOU THINK! YOU ARE A CLOSE MINDED IDIOT! Have you gotten a job yet? Or are you still stashing your dad's money and praying for a Phish reunion? My bet is no job. Pharmer, that Volta show was sick as hell! I also saw them with a little sumpin' in my head. This band is absolutely amazing. SCIFreak, Kill yourself.
Frusciante is the soul of the peppers, and he has been a part of 'The Mars Volta Group' for each album. He and Flea see Omar as a guitar visionary. SCIFreak you just need to catch a headlining show... they will re-introduce to you what 'jamming' is all about. Their jams have balls, willing to explore environments never trampled upon. Zappa did it, Jerry did it, Miles did it, as did countless others. The willingness to let everything go and not be afraid of the new entity such a jam brings with it is what I love about TMV. with your homeboys SCI, they lack such balls with every 'jam' written out to return as a whole, safe and sound. Leave generic jams at home and let the unrivaled haunted spirit Volta brings posses your being
I wouldn't go as far to say SCIfreak is ignorant. He didn't dig it and he is just stating that. Messages boards would blow if you didn't get to read both sides of the story. Now I totally disagree with his opinion and I think he is basing it only on the RHCP run, which was notoriously bad. Despite that, I just saw them in Boston and they have got it back. Super tight with the new drummer and back in their element at their medium sized club shows, not the huge venues they were playing with RHCP... I was also at the late night Bonnaroo show they played 4 or 5 years back. I remember it differently though. It was packed for the first song, then most of the extra crunchy hippies covered their ears and cleared out. It was like a mass exodus. And us true fans moved right up and got some space. It was awesome!
I can "dawg" RHCP because they've turned into easy listening music and completely lost the "funky lick" sound they had in the 80s and way early 90s. I lost some interest with Dave Navarro's cameo album and lost all interest with Californication. Also, having a short opening slot for a band never does justice. You need to see a full on headlining gig to really appreciate a band.
Author's Note:
As to the opening slots that TMV had in the past - they were between drummers, they were not particularly sober, they opened for RHCP and then System of a Down in huge basketball arenas...I don't think you can evaluate a band based on a warm-up gig. And a band like this is going to have good shows and less good shows, even awful ones, because they take crazy chances - and they take things to the dark side (which is something that the GD could do, and Phish could do, and Claypool and Praxis - but SCI emphatically DOES NOT). You have to dig that scary side to a degree or this band isn't for you (am I right ScIFREAK?)
Jon Theodore is a great drummer. Frusciante is a great player. And TMV are extremely arrogant - arguably justified as they are bad assed rock star freak artists and they know what they are capable of! Sure, there are going to be artistic differences and all that - how many times did Zappa change his musicians? Or Santana? If that rubs you wrong - why? But if you are willing to get on the bus with these guys, and you like to let go and leave your expectations behind - the shows are going to be worth your $50 (as I am sure the Hampton shows will be).
ps I love Freaky Styley AND Dani California...Thanks for reading - it was a blast and a pleasure.
Just saw the Volta tonight in AZ and i will tell you that the show that they played rocked, but the problem is, is that they came onstage 15min late and stopped playing 15min early, only a 1 1/2hrs all together, with no enocores. everyone thought it was just an intermission, but nope, i checked with the theater employees and they said that they shouldve played longer and showed me the Show Cards that read Volta was supposed to play from 7:30 to 9:30...all in all, it was my first Volta experience and it wasn't worth the $45 for that short performance, it was definitely good quality music full of high energy, but come on, you can't give us our moneys worth! I'm mean they don't even have an opener, so what's the deal?
I just saw Volta in AZ, too at the Dodge theatre. My friends and i are irate at how short the set was. By the way brooklynite84 Volta came on at 7:50 and had like a 4min intro before the band got on stage. Volta ended the set around 9:10. They played basically an hour. They straight up fucking snubbed the AZ fans. My friends said it best "the will be playing the clubhouse if they ever come here again." Well Volta just lost three very loyal fans tonite in AZ. Unfucking believeable. A $50 dollar ticket, for an hour of a Volta, that is unheard of in Volta world. These are the guys who i saw at Vegoose a couple of years ago and their first fucking song of the set was 50 mins alone! Not including the 3 other songs that were in double digit time. Hahahaha man what a bunch of pompous assholes. See you later Volta don't fucking bother to come to Arizona again!
P.S. The song, the widow, sucks. I can't believe they wasted their time playing that when they have so much new material to push
Groovy review, AM. I saw them this past friday at Austin City Limits, and they tore it up. They were competing with Manu Chao in their time slot, but they obviously have a faithful following in Austin. Their set (or, more appropriately, "time slot") was only an hour long, but they let go of the reins and gave us an hour of pure unadulterated volta magic. I've been a fan since I had my first out-of-body, out-of-mind experience with them in 04 or 05 at the Greek Theater in Berkeley (with AM), but I too was impressed at the places they took us at the ACL show last week. Much more "jammy" energy than I'd remembered...
radarlin, i just spoke with a friend whos roomate worked the security and i guess your right, they actually had 45-50min of more playing to go...theres rumors that a buttload of people got their money back last night, which i was about to do, but went home instead. i just called the box office and the manager told me that nobody got a refund and that it's not their fault that the band ended early and that i should take it up with band itself if i'm not satisfied...god, you gotta love AZs music scene. You'd think these fuckers would put on an amazing long show for us out here in this vast and lonely desert, but no, so fuck these guys, they may be talented, but they can suck a large fat dildo!!!
Was there moshing at the Dodge? they have been known to cut shows short if the crowd is hurting people trying to get their dance on. Also, being a fan since 04, you have to realize that Volta makes their art for themselves, not the crowds who show up to witness it. They make their art for the sake of art, hence why on some occasions they get bottles of piss thrown at them. TMV's punk roots are evident on numerous occasions, but it makes me love them even more
Conjugal Burning there was literally 3-4 mins of moshing at the dodge and it ceased very quickly. Their "punk" roots are GONE. Hahhaha in order to witness their art they charge 50 bucks for a ticket; last time i checked "punk" didn't cost that much. At least they should have given us an opening band to even make it worthing going. Brooklynite84 i wanted to get my money back but didn't think about doing it til i left. I am still in shock about what happened. I just got bitch slapped by Volta and all i did was buy their fucking ticket and love that god damn band for YEARS. In the great words of Brian Eno "Honor thy mistakes as hidden intent." My mistake was going to the show and my intent is to never give them the time of day again. Pompous assholes.
it sucks that tix were 50 bones when they were 20 something for the Columbus show. It also sucks you are repulsed by their actions. But their actions such as only playing a 50 minute set as well as cancelling shows hours before the doors open displays such punk roots. The whole, i dont give a shit attitude they have displayed on numerous occasions is punk as all hell
Alright, the only reason why i keep checking this damn article and what people are saying everyday, is to see how many other people at the AZ show got snuffed. Conjugal, i feel for ya man, when you have us dissing on your band, but i'm sorry, radarlin is right, 50dollars is not punk at all, so stop talking about them being so PUNK, cause they're not, they're assholes, but they're not punks. And radarlin, just wanted to add, when i spoke with a manager yesterday afternoon to get my refund, you know i of course added the fact that parking cost 10dollars plus one fuckin Bud Light, which was another 10dollars, so 70dollars for One Hour for One Band, is absolutely the worst money i've ever spent on a concert and i've even seen COLDPLAY in concert (i know i'll get a lot of shit just for that) I am seeing these guys again when i go to Voodoo Fest which they are supposed to play 1hr and 15min, maybe i'll catch the rest of the show we missed there. HAHAHA! I only payed 130dollars for that and that's three days with a shitload of better bands as well, so all in all, radarlin and i are right to be not satisfied and turned off from this band, i don't care if they carry an attitude and wear it on their sleaves, they just better hope i'm not in front row at this next festival cause i'll throw any heavy object at their stupid asses, just for fuckin' us AZ fans over!
Brooklynite84 excellent notion about money spent in one hour. Mars Volta should give a fuck considering the economy this day in age SUCKS. So for middle class folks like us to shell out a shit ton of money to see them play i expect money moneys worth now. I mean these guys are fucking millionaires and certainly dont live like punks. FANS are the ones who buy the bands music, merch, tickts, the least they could do is act grateful OR give us a longer fucking show. And the whole "dont give a shit attitude" please if they are going to act like whiney ass wankers i don't want any part of it. It was cool ramblin' with ya brooklynite84!
i dont think I could be more biased when relating to you AZ peeps simply because Volta shafted Ohioans far worse, but they ended up delivering in the long run. Living in Cincy, Columbus is a two hour drive. Not bad at all really for an amazing show, but Volta cancelled the day of the show. The new date came around and there was a line around the building. 10 minutes before the doors were supposed to open they cancelled on us again. There is a youtube video of a TMV shirt being burned outside the venue. They had to bring in the riot police while all the meathead security were yelling out "diva" and "The lead singer cannot sing for he has taken too much medicine" then motioned a heroin gesture. The fact of the matter that after traveling 12 hours and waiting 6 months, they still came and gave the best show I have ever seen. My 5th time seeing them was a climax words can not express. This band is the shit but being a fan requires patience which shall be rewarded in the long run. Volta at a Voodoo fest= pure insanity and I wish you all the best.
It's a business. Simple lesson - TMV can't shaft fans or there won't be any! Garcia was a great businessman, and there were many shows that left Deadheads wanting a refund...but I only remember the good ones!
The TMV shows I reviewed got progressively shorter, but the cost of each ticket was the same - maybe the big world tour is wearing them down? I'm all for artistry and moody experimentation - I would rather see a band take a chance than choreograph each note to the minute every night - but they do owe you all of the energy they can muster for $50 - and it sounds like AZ got the shaft. . .
scifreak is gay and stupid, rhcp are awesome but the fact that you talk shit on volta and say they suck makes fans of rhcp look like tools djacoustic sick burn!
TP makes TMV what they currently are: the best god damn band in the world. Jon was good, but TP is a BEAST.
