Intelligent Design?
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Nov 16, 2009 Category: Tabletalk MagazineThe culture wars are heating up again. Such, I suppose, ought not to surprise me.

Therein he argued that the real dividing line in modern culture was not between right wing and left wing, not between Christians and non-Christians, but between the orthodox and the progressives Keep Reading

Why Is Justification So Important?
from Keith Mathison Nov 10, 2009 Category: Tabletalk MagazineDuring the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century, there were few things more precious to believers than the recovery of the biblical doctrine of justification by faith alone in Christ alone. Five hundred years later, how many of us who count ourselves heirs of these courageous men and women truly believe that this is a doctrine worth dying for? How many of us even know what the fundamental elements of the doctrine of justification are? Keep Reading
Receiving Assurance of Salvation
from R.C. Sproul Nov 08, 2009 Category: ArticlesHow, then, do we receive assurance? The Scripture declares that the Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirits that we are the children of God. This inner testimony of the Holy Spirit is as vital as it is complex. It can be subjected to severe distortions, being confused with subjectivism and self-delusion. Keep Reading

Select Local Merchants
Crate Escape BelmontRead MoreCrate Escape owes its existence to a 10-year-old jack russell terrier named Ernestine Hastings. Ernestine's owners, Bradley and Stephanie, loved their pooch so much that they decided to spread this affection to other dogs by opening a spacious boarding and grooming facility. Pet owners can drop off their furry friends for daycare or overnight boarding services, letting pups gambol about in a 17,000-square-foot play space. Groomers tackle matted fur and tails caked in cake by scrubbing coats with hypoallergenic shampoo.200 Terminal StCharlestown, MA US
Fenway BarkRead MoreFenway Bark Stay. Play. Heal. pampers pets in a responsibly led facility where a trained staff at an attentive 1:15 ratio keeps canines happy, healthy, and safe, earning it a spot on Fido Friendly's Best of 2011 dog-destination list. For overnight stays, dogs check in to a variety of roomy lodgings that swaddle fur with fresh options, entertain eyes with cable TV and sprawling views of the play yard and bone-shaped pool, and ease owners' minds with Skype webcam access. Paws scamper indoors over antimicrobial grass, frolicking with those of peers who have been vetted by the staff for exemplary social behavior, exhibited by friendly interaction and promptly sent thank-you cards. Fenway Bark's onsite boutique outfits pups with gourmet treats, fashionable accessories, and toys such as naturally shed antlers, and trained veterinary technicians heal fidos suffering from hip dysplasia, obesity, and other ailments. Regular K9 Klatch social events congregate doggie parents and their barking broods for caffeine-fueled conversations about the best way to teach a dog to sit, drive, or properly use a french press.88 Black Falcon AvenueBoston, MA US
Back Bay Dog WalkingRead MoreBack Bay Dog Walking?s canine caretakers lend a helping hand to busy pet owners within Boston city limits by providing services designed to exercise and entertain four-legged friends seven days a week. Parents of new puppies up to 6 months of age can rest easy knowing their babies are being taken care of during the day with the puppy program, where an experienced sitter provides three walks throughout the day as well as a midday meal. Meanwhile, play groups provide energetic pooches the chance to spend a full hour romping around a fenced-in dog park with like-minded mutts.224 Commonwealth AvenueBoston, MA US
Doggie DaytrippersRead MoreBoston Phoenix and Boston Magazine both agree that the off-leash adventures led by Doggie Daytrippers are an upgrade from leaving pups at home. The rationale behind the unique form of doggy daycare? A tired dog is a happy dog. Tiring activities look a bit different for each dog, which is why doggy field trips involve swimming and snowshoeing at local parks and beaches, whereas daycare includes hours of open play at each pooch's pace. Dogs can also pal around with new friends if owners sign them up for a city hike, which means two hours at a nearby dog park, including pickup and drop off at home.214 Shawmut AvenueBoston, MA US
The Well Fed DogRead MoreJohn Edwards founded The Well Fed Dog several years ago after falling in love with a raggedy lab mix named Sasha. When John and his wife adopted Sasha, she was 6 months old, underweight, underfed, and riddled with fleabites, but the family was determined to nurse the small pup back to health. During the process, John discovered Sasha had a chicken allergy, and so he had to carefully read the labels on the dog food they were buying her. What he discovered disgusted him—many foods were composed of animal byproducts, synthetic vitamins, and other ingredients unfit to feed a cherished member of the family, no matter their species. And so John began to craft his own recipes for dog food, using careful research and advice from veterinarians, fellow pet owners, and even professional chefs. Featured in the Boston Globe and national Natural Dog magazine, The Well Fed Dog and its recipes include real meats, such as lamb, salmon, and beef, and vegetables including sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, and celery, and the products can now be found in many stores. All of the handpicked ingredients are also human grade, perishable, and packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids. The food is slow-cooked then frozen before being divided into small batches to help with quality control and is packed into cooler bags for safe keeping. To keep pets happy between meals, The Well Fed Dog also sells special treats that dogs love, such as deer and moose antlers, smoked-beef marrowbones, and pictures of cats wearing humiliating hats.1005 Boylston StBoylston, MA US
Picture Perfect PetsRead MoreMost dog training schools use a traditional curriculum to get canines to behave well and perform simple tricks such as fetching and sitting. While traditional training techniques may effectively domesticate your beast, they lack the pizzazz required to set your pet apart. Those who want their dogs to exhibit unique talent prefer the controversial training regimen developed by radical dog trainer Barry Caravan. In a 1997 interview, Caravan said, "A dog should be more intelligent than its owner. I'd prefer an animal-run society, for obvious reasons. I just watched Planet of the Apes. That seemed pretty cool." He later wrote a book, My Dog is Better than You & Me: Training Tips for Superior Pets, guaranteed to teach your dog to:9 Dudley StreetArlington, MA US

'What are you doing tonight,' I asked Alastair Campbell, 'seal-clubbing or kitten-drowning?'
As regular readers will know, I get more excited about being around cricket legends than I ever do around Hollywood stars.
Today, I found myself participating in what I can only describe as the Oscars of cricket, a private match organised at the Oxfordshire home of business tycoon Sir Victor Blank, to raise money for charity Wellbeing Of Women.
And my fellow players included eight of the greatest stars to ever grace
the game: Shane Warne, Kevin Pietersen, Muttiah Muralitharan, Brian
Lara, Sachin Tendulkar, Wasim Akram, Gordon Greenidge and Desmond
From left: Brian Lara, Alastair Campbell, Muttiah Muralitharan, Kevin Pietersen and Sachin Tendulkar at the Wellbeing Of Women charity cricket match
Oh, and Alastair Campbell.
You might wonder how even Downing Street's most devilish ever disciple could manage to mar such a wonderful occasion.
Well, Tendulkar's talented 14-year-old son Arjun came out to bat, and our skipper Warne inexplicably tossed the ball to Campbell with the immortal words: 'You have a go, Alastair, I hear you're a better spinner than me…'
Campbell ran in, pretended to bowl, held onto the ball and took the
bails off at the bowler's end, running out a shocked young Arjun by two
This mode of dismissal is called a 'Mankad'. It's technically legal, as we saw in England's recent Test match against Sri Lanka, but utterly distasteful and completely contrary to the spirit of the game.
The crowd, which included Sir Michael Parkinson, Rory Bremner and
Jeffrey Archer, erupted into boos, and Campbell's appeal was promptly
withdrawn by Warne.
But the perpetrator himself merely creased into delighted laughter, blissfully impervious to the barbaric nature of his actions.
'What are you doing tonight,' I asked him, 'seal-clubbing or kitten-drowning?'
He smirked again. No denial.
As for my own performance, I didn't bat, but I did get to bowl at Pietersen, who vowed: 'I'm gonna smash every pie you bowl at me for six.'
'That will make a nice change from your current form,' I snarled back.
Brimming with confidence, I ran in and gave it my biggest off-spinning rip. KP smashed it into the trees for six. I gave the next one an even bigger rip. KP smashed it for an even bigger six.
'All right, Piers, enough looseners,' bellowed Warne. 'Those weren't
looseners, skipper,' I replied. My only solace was that Campbell got
flayed even harder.
When I asked if he regretted his behaviour, Rolf Harris replied: 'Guilty on all counts, your honour.' As indeed he was
I interviewed Rolf Harris for my Life Stories show in 2011, and while
never suspecting for a moment that he was a paedophile, there were odd
clues to his darker side.
Describing his self-confessed neglect of wife Alwen and daughter Bindi
during periods of supposedly work-related depression, Harris welled up
and told me: 'I remember my family saying they didn't know who I was.
'They said I was a total stranger. They had never seen me like this
'They had to walk around on tenterhooks. It was such a black
period. It was like my life was over.'
When I asked if he regretted his
behaviour, he replied: 'Guilty on all counts, your honour.'
As indeed he was.
My column last week about Andy Coulson sparked a firestorm of comment on
social media.
Fascinatingly, many seemed to be of the indignant opinion
that I should ditch him as a friend with the same repulsive alacrity as
our weasel Prime Minister, David Cameron.
Really? At the toughest
moment of a close friend's life, the correct response should be to
simply turn my back on him and airbrush 25 years of shared fun,
adventure, grief, career highs and lows, weddings and children? How
James Corden, who's been through a few ups and downs in his own life,
told me after reading the piece: 'It's truly remarkable how many people
don't stand by their friends when things get rough!'
I agree. But then, having also experienced a few professional and
personal crises, I've come to realise that the only true friends that
you have in life are the 4am crowd.
I don't mean the ones you get drunk with until 4am. I mean the ones you
could call from anywhere in the world at 4am if you were in big trouble
and know with absolute certainty that he or she would instantly jump out
of bed and do whatever they could to help you.
You won't have many that would do that. But the ones you do have will be
the people who are your true friends. Andy's one of those for me, and
vice versa.
As Muhammad Ali said: 'Friendship is not something you learn
in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you
really haven't learned anything.'

Sarah Botham, 35-year-old daughter of sporting legend Sir Ian and a good friend of mine (she's a 4am-er, as is Beefy), fell over at Richmond Station the other night and badly broke her ankle.
She lay writhing in agony for 25 minutes as more than 100 people calmly, and shamefully, walked past her without bothering to help.
Eventually, a handsome young man who she thinks was Irish and called Colm or Colum, stopped and asked if she was OK.
When she explained what had happened, he promptly picked her up, carried her on to the next train, and took her to the Chelsea and Westminster hospital.
This amazing knight in shining armour left without leaving his details. He wanted no reward, or acknowledgement. He just did what he thought was the right thing to do.

Fischer: 'Liberals in America are Killing America's Women Before they are Ever Born'
On yesterday's radio program, Bryan Fischer dedicated an absurd amount of time to railing against Hilary Rosen's comment that Ann Romney had "never worked a day in her life."
Fischer actually declared that this was the single most offensive and outrageous thing that he can recall anyone having said in the years he has been hosting his daily radio program ... which is pretty remarkable considering that Fischer says insanely bigoted and offensive things on almost a daily basis.
And, as if to prove that, he used the Rosen flap as an opportunity to make the case that it is Democrats who are waging a war on women by "protecting and defending the abortion industry," which means that "liberals in America are killing America's women before they are ever born":

Historical Traveler Reviews The Elizabeth Hotel by Far East Hospitality Singapore
Christmas in Singapore
Met some of our family here for christmas. Was a little disappointed with the size of the room, we had just arrived from the USA which is a very long flight and felt cramped especially after being on the plane. Did not spend a lot of time in the room as we did as much sightseeing as we could and the closeness to Orchard Road and Lucky Plaza was great. Just around the corner and be prepared for some walking up and down hills as the hotel was on a high point in Mt. Elizabeth. Have been to Singapore a couple of times and much prefer some of the other hotels I have stayed. Was my husbands first visit so he loved it. Pool was very clean but lots of shade so was quite cool to swim in. Breakfast was ok, we enjoyed eating out more trying the local cuisine and had a great meal on Clarks Quay. Use the MRT so convenient and gets you everywhere.
The first and absolute last time I stay at this Hotel!
I've just come back from 7 nights' stay at this hotel and was extremely disappointed about many aspects of the Hotel.
I travelled there with a group of 12 people, and we all left feeling disappointed. Firstly, the service was absolutely appalling, I've never experienced such rude staff in my life. From the moment we checked in to the time we left, we had bad service. Upon check in we had to wait almost 4 hours for our rooms to come available, even though I had pre-organised our arrival time with the Hotel. Staff at reception didn't offer an apology or even a smile (they could see us standing in the lobby waiting for our rooms). When we finally did get our rooms, despite requesting renovated rooms on the higher floors of the Hotel, we all got rooms on low floors, which were not renovated, musky and smelled of mould, and were in desperate need of a paint and a good clean.
Our phone calls to reception were left complelety unanswered, towels were sometimes missing after our rooms were made up, and after making a phone call to laundry we had to wait up to 2 hours for the missing towels to be delivered. Our keys to the rooms often didn't work (and even worse worked on our other rooms, which made us worry about security!) so we were always running down to reception to get new keys. The so called 'complimentary fruit basket upon arrival' never arrived despite our subsequent request. In the end we just gave up asking for all the things that were missing in our rooms, as it was all too hard.
The breakfast was also very expensive for what you got, and the man who seats guests for breakfast was very rude, so we only ate there on the first day and flagged it for the rest of the trip. The facilities at the hotel are also very limited. The pool area is very shaded which is not good if you want some sun.
Overall I was very disappointed and would not recommend the Hotel to anyone. I will definately never stay there again.
Don't go there
The hotel is tired, the staff tired and the fact that you request a wake up call on not one but two occasions and still don't get one tells the story. I almost missed my flight home thanks to staff members of the hotel with a who cares you won't be back attitude - how right they are.
The Elizabeth, not that bad as some reveiws say.
I stayed at The Elizabeth on May 22 - 26, 2005. My stay was nice and the Hotel Staff was great. The rooms are small but the price was good. It is not on the main drag there but it is within walking distance (about 10 min.). The only thing that I could find to complain about is that there are not any other food places close to this location. Other than that, I enjoyed my stay and would stay there again. If you are looking for a 5 star hotel, this is not the one. It is in a great location and very quite. Enjoy your stay in Singapore, very nice place and people.
Doesn't live up to what it preaches
Stayed at this hotel whilst on transit to Dubai via Sydney. The hotel touts itself to be A Hotel With Old World Grandeur--which I found was an absolute joke! Furnishings, interiors look like something out of a beauty salon in Hong Kong with fake-looking wood veneer which I personally think is trying to mimic that of Burr Wood. However, was upgraded to the Deluxe room and it was huge! Toilet floor was sticky with stains--thankfully they provided room slippers, and a bathrobe! Service-wise, the front office should be thoroughly praised as they went all out to help. Special mention should be given to an employee known as Calvin; staff at the Pasta and Spice cafe pulled a long face, probably due to working in the morning. Breakfast was an utter disappoint, not anything like a four-star hotel. The very most I would give is a 3-star rating due to the very limited variety. Swimming pool was exceptionally clean, but could do with a jacuzzi. The air-conditioning's thermostat worked in our room at least. Overall this hotel is mediocre at best and if it still wants to be rated a 4-star hotel, then it has to fall under the low-end 4-star umbrella. I recently stayed at the Le Meridien Changi Village Hotel--The Elizabeth's sister hotel--both are owned by the FarEast Organization Group, which was new, and especially loved the minimalist yet contemporary design of the room. If you're fit or love cardio exercises and location's what you what, Elizabeth is a great choice as it is perched on Mount Elizabeth! Check out the stunning Paragon just right down the hill! Viva La Magnifique!
Poor Service
The location was good. The pool was nice but the area was too shaded. The room was average with old furniture, dark green carpet and heavy drapes. The air conditioning was way too cold - no way to turn it off. The room was nothing like the pictures I saw. I found the service to be very unpleasant - not even a hello from the doorman or a smile at the front desk. We felt very unhappy at the hotel and so we checked out early. You can find a better hotel for the same amount or less in Singapore.
Loved the location
Very warm and friendly - stayed for 2 nights on the way back from Australia - a slight walk downhill takes you onto the main Orchard Road strip with all the shops etc - rather small rooms but hey - who wants to stay in their room in Singapore!!!
You get what you pay for
Having stayed in October 04 I was a little disappointed with the Elizabeth.
The location is good about a block back from Orchard road however the property itself always felt a little dark and uninviting. This was perhaps because our room was quite close the the ground floor with little natural light getting in. Combining this with near arctic air conditioning which we could not adjust upwards left us wanting to spend more time out of than in the room. I couldn't help but think at the time that this was perhaps because we were on a discount room rate.
If shopping or business are your main reason for visiting Singapore than the Elizabeth is a great base but if you are looking for a hotel which you want to spend any amount of time in relaxing then I would keep on clicking.
Based on the glowing reviews and impressive photos I made a booking for my husband, myself and our 14 yo daughter at The Elizabeth. Unfortunately, the room we were given looked nothing like the ones in the promotional photos. We were given 3 single beds, in a small room with tired furniture and stained carpet. There were no extra blankets and the airconditioning was was far too cold. The bathroom was also not all that appealing. Breakfast wasn't the experience I have come to expect in Singapore with hardly any fresh fruit in evidence, it was mainly deep freid and heavy.
However, the location was quiet and convenient and the staff were pleasant and helpful and allowed us to use the showers in the gym although we had checked out earlier in the day.
Be sure to ask for a renovated room when making your booking!
Hidden treasure
Looking for something more intimate than so many of the Singapore hotels? And just a (welcome) short stroll off the busiest streets?
We have stayed at the Elizabeth several times over the last few years, most recently in mid June. Small enough to be a bit more personal than some of the mega hotels and consistently at the top of the value stakes - try the deals that are always on some of the Asia travel sites - why would you want to pay more?
Not the place for sitting around the pool - which is a smallish area which involves a walk past the restaurant which is not especially inviting - but as the base for a business or shopping trip it can't be beaten - a short stroll down the street brings you to Orchard Road and there is a short cut through the York Hotel foyer to get to the Scotts Road shopping.

Singapore Slings and Arrows of Outrageous Fortune

Next stop is Marina Bay, where the astonishing Sands Hotel grabs the eye from every angle (as you will see in my photos). It towers over the trees like a massive ship in the sky. A favorite tourist destination at the bay are the gardens enclosed in modern domes. No wonder the flowers are flourishing – it is as cold as a ...
GradTripSoJapanLY: Day 0 - Preparation
Today. 10.05.2015 Sunday
First of all, Happy Mother's Day to my mum <3<3<3 Thanks for bringing me up and brought me to where I am today - A 23 year old girl, who had finally completed her 4 years of university education and is waiting to embark on her Graduation Trip to Japan in 6 hours time. (#GradTripSoJapanLY)
Graduation Trip. Probably once in a lifetime. Therefore, I had decided to start this travel diary. (Hopefully I ...
Singapore - The end of our time in Asia
... to China Town in the evening. We had a little bite to eat from a street stall and a little look around all the shops and markets. After surviving our first night in the dorm room (only just: we've got a snorer and it's ridiculously hot) we felt we needed to explore the city a bit more. Nine and a half hours later we felt we knew everything about Singapore. We brought a city sightseeing bus ticket (those 'hop-on hop-off buses you see in many cities.) It took us ...

The following day we headed to Sentosa island, not without a quick stop off for lunch at one of the many tasty food courts, not quite as impressive as Malaysia's but still nice and cheaper than England. The island was very quite, like we found for ...

Measurements of protein-conjugated acrolein (PC-Acro), IL-6, and C-reactive protein (CRP) in plasma were useful for identifying silent brain infarction with high sensitivity and specificity. The aim of this study was to determine whether acrolein causes increased production of IL-6 and CRP in thrombosis model mice and cultured cells. In mice with photochemically induced thrombosis, acrolein produced at the locus of infarction increased the level of IL-6 and then CRP in plasma. This was confirmed in cell culture systems – acrolein stimulated the production of IL-6 in mouse neuroblastoma Neuro-2a cells, mouse macrophage-like J774.1 cells, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), and IL-6 in turn stimulated the production of CRP in human hepatocarcinoma cells. The level of IL-6 mRNA was increased by acrolein through an increase in phosphorylation of the transcription factors, c-Jun, and NF-κB p65. Furthermore, CRP stimulated IL-6 production in mouse macrophage-like J774.1 cells and HUVEC. IL-6 functioned as a protective factor against acrolein toxicity in Neuro-2a cells and HUVEC. These results show that acrolein stimulates the synthesis of IL-6 and CRP, which function as protecting factors against acrolein toxicity, and that the combined measurement of PC-Acro, IL-6, and CRP is effective for identification of silent brain infarction.
The combined measurements of protein-conjugated acrolein (PC-Acro), IL-6, and C-reactive protein (CRP) in plasma were useful for identifying silent brain infarction. The aim of this study was to determine whether acrolein causes increased production of IL-6 and CRP, and indeed acrolein increased IL-6 synthesis and IL-6 in turn increased CRP synthesis. Furthermore, IL-6 decreased acrolein toxicity in several cell lines.

Kids can build safe biking skills at upcoming rodeo
Group ride with police is a highlight
Oak Creek - The Police Department will host its annual Community Bike Rodeo from noon to 3 p.m. Sunday at the American Legion Post, 9327 S. Shepard Ave.
In order to participate, children must bring a two-wheel bicycle, a helmet and a sign-up sheet filled out by their parent or guardian. The event is free and open to kids in kindergarten through eighth grade.
Kim Bogadi, a crime prevention specialist with the Oak Creek Police Department, will be teaching the children along with four bike patrol officers and other volunteers.
"The purpose of the bike rodeo is to help children improve their bike riding skills to lessen the chances of crashes or accidents," Bogadi said.
The bike rodeo will consist of numerous skills courses that the bike patrol officers will teach to the students. These skills include starting and stopping, riding in a 3-foot lane, controlling the bicycle, doing a figure eight without looking down, entering a roadway properly, making one-handed traffic signals and turning left into a traffic lane.
If a child is able to complete all of the skills courses, their name will be entered into a drawing to win a bicycle. Other giveaways include flashers, reflectors and a limited quantity of helmets from Habush Habush and Rottier. Personnel from South Shore Cyclery will be there to inspect bicycles.
At 2 p.m., the children will have the opportunity to go on a group ride with the bike patrol officers.
"The ride with the bike patrol officers is great, because it leads to good interactions between the children and police," Bogadi said. "They love working with the children."
Parents and guardians are encouraged to stay and watch their children partake in the Community Bike Rodeo.
"The skills we teach are only a precursor to the reinforcements the parents give," Bogadi said. "The only way a child can stay safe is by having mom and dad emphasize the good bicycle skill practices we teach them at the Bike Rodeo."

Very sturdy
Mary from Jeannette, PA – Verified Buyer
I 1st purchased the aluminum microwave wall mount shelf and really liked it. When I saw this shelf I did not think twice about buying it. It is a very sturdy piece and holds most of my small appliances like my standing mixer, my fryer etc. I have a very small kitchen and the extra counter space came in handy. I would definately recommend this shelf and the microwave shelf. Very good items.
Easy to install
Mary from Waverly, NY – Verified Buyer
Purchased this to get my small microwave off the counter. Assembly was easy, mounting just as quickly. Pros: Durable, lightweight but sturdy.

4.0 out of 5 stars A mature, sombre album,
Jane Aland (England) - See all my reviews
'Chaos and Creation in the Backyard' is a surprisingly sombre album, with opening single Fine Line being one of the more up-tempo tracks on the album. The Lady Madonna-esque rocker Promise To You Girl feels particularly out of place in this regard, while English Tea is the sort of highly melodic tune which will either annoy the listener as being overly twee, or enjoyed as a knowing parody. Away from these three songs the album is surprisingly – and enjoyably - downbeat, and even if the lyrics to a song like This Never Happened Before are positive then the music contains some very dark chords. Obvious Beatles comparisons come with such tracks as the Blackbird-style acoustic track Jenny Wren, or the George Harrison inspired Friends to Come, but for me the highlights include Too Much Rain, At the Mercy, This Never Happened Before and the Spanish-sounding A Certain Softness.
With not a single weak track on the album this is a very strong solo release, and the fact that almost everything is recorded by Paul McCartney himself gives it the sort of home-made charm as his debut solo record. If you're looking for easy melodic pop songs then this album isn't for you, instead this is a mature collection of interesting tracks that grow on the listener. Good stuff.
NB: The bonus version with the extra DVD is worthwhile, as this is a good in-depth behind the scenes look at each track on the album, while the Japanese import also contains the bonus track She Is So Beautiful.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's getting better (finally!),
Terry Starr (North Yorkshire UK) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
After staying with Paul all these years, finding the odd gem among the poor stuff that fills many Wings and Macca solo albums, finally I can report that he has produced the masterpiece we have been waiting for. This is his best collection of songs since the White Album, which means, yes, it is better than Abbey Road, Band on the Run, Flowers in the Dirt and Flaming Pie. It truly is THAT good! The arrangements and production have been rightly praised in the reviews on this page, but it is the songwriting that shines throughout the album. This is a master craftsman finally rediscovering the muse that made him one of the greatest ever. The centrepiece of the album is Riding to Vanity Fair, a superb song in every way, but from then it picks up second wind, ending with a blaze of glory in the Lady Madonna-esque Promise to you girl, then two of the most gorgeous ballads Paul has ever written, This Never Happened Before and Anyway. Breathtaking. If you grew up loving the Beatles and have looked on in exasperation as Paul has produced mediocre albums, one after another, then rejoice! Here at last is an album worthy to stand alongside the best of his work with the Beatles. Praise indeed, but richly deserved in this case. You will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars The magic lives on............,
Larry G (Hertford, Hertfordshire, UK) - See all my reviews
Memo to those who, like me , have been long-term McCartney admirers but who also like me were convinced that any new material would be a mere shadow of the legend's finest achievements : here finally is a piece of work to restore your faith. Few would claim that anything by solo Paul can ever attain the iconic status of his everlasting contribution to the revolutionary music of a certain foursome (and indeed later with the hugely successful Wings), but there really are songs here to revive memories of those uniquely magical years. All tracks stand up remarkably well to the acid test of repeated hearings, not least the simple yet heartfelt "This Never Happened Before" whilst another highlight, "A Certain Softness", will have poignancy for anyone surprised, perhaps even mystified, at just how quickly it's possible to fall in love - or come close. Anti-Macca pundits take a perverted sense of pride in knocking pretty much anything produced by the man post-1970, yet their target is an artist whose longevity, versatility and special talent have yet to be equalled. Almost forty years after the Beatles' final appearance in concert, the author of 'Chaos and Creation in the Backyard' has just embarked on a sold-out tour of the US. As always, his audiences will get to hear what they expect ; but this new album is as much a part of the man they've come to see and worship as the pure gold classics which first drew them in. PS: Make sure you order the special edition with bonus DVD - the music is all the better for having seen how it was put together

5.0 out of 5 stars A real gem of an album,
Markus Ronald "Ronnie" (Israel) - See all my reviews
I havn't bought a McCartney album for many years and bought this one because of the great reviews it recieved from the musical critics.
They were dead right. I could go on and on exalting the varous tracks but this would be spoiling it for you. It really is a great album and the dvd is a bonus and worth the extra money. So just go out and buy it. Vintage McCartney at his very best. You won't be disappointed !!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A touch of class,
It strikes me as a perennially cruel injustice that Macca (in common with a number of other elder rock figures) is so often dismissed by the lazier variety of music critic as irrelevant, out of touch, past-it, mawkish, or whatever is the dimissive put-down nearest to hand at time of writing. The fact is, even his worst albums have always included three or four classic songs.
Only an individual with the clothiest of cloth ears could listen to Chaos and Creation and fail to be impressed and moved by it. You will struggle to find more than one or two records genuinely as good as it in 2006.
Macca's Achilles heel has always been his tendency to release too much material. Someone once opined that he should have released only about one third as much music as he did, holding back the reams of weaker songs that might have been good enough for most artists, but which were unworthy of a Beatle. Releasing only the very best of his solo compositions would have seen him maintain the Olympean standards set by the Beatles.
The impact of his best work has sometimes been diminished because so much of the material on the same album was weak. A good example is "With a Little Luck" on London Town: a truly great song, well beyond the capability of just about anyone else you care to name. The preceding and following songs on London Town were mediocre at best, and somehow this makes "With a Little Luck" seem less great than it really is. Admittedly, the opposite effect was common on Beatles records. "Oh, Darling" probably seems better than it is for having been on Abbey Road.
Chaos and Creation is excellent from start to finish. It is similar in some ways to its strong predecessor, Driving Rain, but the melancholic tone of Chaos and Creation is more potent, somehow, than the harder Driving Rain sound. I feel that Chaos and Creation is a cousin of Beck's superb "Sea Change". Something about the mood and the sonic landscape, particularly in the second half of Chaos and Creation, reminds me of this record.
The song that stands out on the first listen is "Jenny Wren", which everyone compares to Blackbird, even though the resemblance is fairly superficial. It's a fantastic song, but subsequent listens reveal that at least as fantastic are the likes of "Riding to Vanity Fair" (reminds me of Beck's "Round the Bend"), "A Certain Softness" (delicate and nuanced), Follow Me (so very simple, yet hugely uplifting), and Anyway (again, simple and uplifting).
These are among my personal favourites, but really there are no weak tracks.
A bonus: The instrumental postscript to the album is pure Macca too - a string of short musical ideas that convey playfulness, humour and the simple joy of composing and playing that has always been one of the man's most appealing characteristics.

5.0 out of 5 stars His best album for many many years,
Greg Farefield-Rose (Hertfordshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
There's not a lot of chaos in the end result but lots of dedicated creativity to produce the best album Paul McCartney has made in a long time - if not his best post-Beatles LP ever.
A lot of credit has to go to renowned producer Nigel Goodrich who insisted on Macca eschewing his touring band and playing virtually every instrument. No respecter of reputation, Goodrich by all accounts worked his charge very hard to get the best results. His production also gives the album a modern sound whilst retaining those distinct McCartney characteristics.
Some credit also has to go to the brilliant arranger and sometime Divine Comedy member Joby Talbot who arranged the background strings and brass on several songs. Talbot's arrangements always embellish rather than take over the tunes with his work on the gloriously whimsical English Tea being a particularly fine example of his talents.
Most of the credit though has to go to Paul McCartney himself for a set of stripped down, catchy but long-lasting songs and some excellent playing. The lyrics - so often a cloying bugbear of Paul's solo work - are also excellent being slightly vague and very readable. It's a measure of Macca's creativity and confidence that several songs on Chaos & Creation are rightly two-three minutes long rather than being unnecessarily fleshed out to use up CD space.
Particular highlights for me range from the poppy Fine Line and Friends To Go to the more atmospheric Riding To Vanity Fair. Further highlights include the brilliant, meditative Jenny Wren, deliberately written and arranged in a similar style to The Beatles' Blackbird, and the aforementioned quintessentially eccentric English Tea. No one plays either of these styles as well as McCartney.
Although there was plenty of chaos in the creation of C&CITBY, it was well worth all the studio conflict. A brilliant album by an artist making his best music for many many years.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Never Happened Before,
A fantastic album that is a real grower and one that I keep coming back to. No trickery, no rush jobs, just a collection of fine songs that sound as if they have been carefully worked up and perfected. These sound like very personal songs - which is not a surprise given what he was going through at the time - and the best songs on the album are particularly heartfelt and fragile. One of my favourite McCartney albums.

4.0 out of 5 stars Accomplished and Mature - How To Write Songs,
Dl Fairey "ousetunes" (Sheffield, UK) - See all my reviews
Chaos and Creation finds McCartney ageing like a quality wine, there to be enjoyed by those who recognise a good song when they hear one and for those who can appreciate the skills in writing memorable melodies and thought-provoking (usually personal) lyrics. The album shows a maturity in McCartney's songwriting knowing for once when to leave things out as opposed to trying to cram everything in.
No lush George Martinesque strings on here, although there are a few George Martin moments especially on the bridge during Follow Me and in the twee nostaligia of English Tea (where you can visualise McCartney's smug smile when he plonks his finger on that final piano note 'There, that's how you do it').
The strings are, especially during the haunting yet beautiful Riding To Vanity Fayre more akin to those used on Lennon's Imagine album, there to create a sense of well, suspense, of something sinister lurking in the background. They may carry a heaviness from Paul's own heart, a sigh at some of the images that must have been going through his mind when he wrote and recorded this album (John, George and Linda to name but three).
Infact, there's quite a bit of looking back on this album. Promise To You Girl sounds as though it should have been on the b-side to Red Rose Speedway, the guitar tone being almost identical to that played on the closing medley. And the backing vocals hark back to Abbey Road almost sounding too 'John and George'.
Fine Time is a grower really getting into its element during the instrumental break where the organ comes in. Jenny Wren could be a Double White out-take. The choice of duduk as an instrument is inspired, sounding half musical instrument, half human voice. Again it's haunting and brings a slightly disturbing feel to the song.
For me though, the finest songs are left to the end. This Never Happened Before was 'the missing Abbey Road Macca ballad'. The big key change hits you in the heart and McCartney sings this with real meaning, almost a yearning sounding both surprised and yet regretful. An astonishing track.
Likewise Anyway the album's closing track proper. Beautiful, sincere and yet with a degree of sadness. You can see Paul sat at the piano playing but his eyes are askance, looking far away, possibly into the past, but arguably into the future.
Chaos and Creation is a wonderful piece of work that finds McCartney for once maybe facing up to facts that he's not getting any younger and that sadly, of all the Beatles, only he and Ringo are still with us.
In being in a reflective and possibly sombre mood, Paul has written an album from the heart and in producer Michael Goodrich, has found someone to put those feelings onto record without the need to overdress any of those songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Understated Greatness,
Ryan Ceramic (Fridayville, Saturday) - See all my reviews
This is the best album of Paul McCartney's solo career. A beautiful, late-autumn call for love from a supreme songwriter without a single misstep.
Think the flame burned out with the death of The Beatles? Listen closer. This album - if you give it time, and listen with ears unburdened of the weight of history - could change your mind.
Massive credit goes to producer Nigel Godrich for reigning in McCartney's more mawkish tendancies - lyrically and musically - and guiding a work that will in time be recognised as a masterpiece.
They'll turn to this album when they're putting together evidence of some of McCartney's strongest songwriting once he's gone - when the cool factor doesn't matter any more, and songwriting's valued on its own terms, finally.
"Exquisite" - that feels right.
That's the word.

Never really being a great McCartney fan although I personally feel that no band or artist before or since can hold a candle to the Beatles,the only previously purchased material by Paul McCartney by me was 'BAND ON THE RUN'............
I accidentally came accross 'CHAOS AND CREATION (only having heard one track played late one night on Radio 2)and am blown away by it, not one poor track,every one grows on you more and more.........no not 5 stars....10.

Matty Hadden forces his way over for Oxford's third try
/ Rugby
OXFORD edged out basement boys South Wales Scorpions at the death to record a 29-22 victory at Iffley Road.
The sides were level at 22-22 with a minute to go when Jimmy Rowland slotted over a drop goal.
Then, from the final set of the game, Sam Blaney chased a hopeful kick and outran his markers to get the final try, which Rowland converted to the joy of the home fans.
Scorpions had been three minutes away from securing their third win of the season in a see-saw clash.
Oxford took the lead after winning a penalty on Scorpions' 20-metre line, with Rory Sharratt going over from dummy half and Rowland converting.
However, Scorpions were soon level. After winning repeat sets, Harrison Elliott stormed over and Paul Emanuelli added the goal.
The normally reliable Sean Morris almost gave away a try at one end, then fumbled the ball as he was going to score at the other.
It couldn't have been travel that affected his concentration as his house not only looks out, but is inside the Iffley Road ground.
But his teammate Andrew Hoggins who commutes a little bit further, coming from Southampton, made up for that with a stunning try.

He picked up the ball near to the half-way line and weaved through the visitors' defence to score, Rowland converting for 12-6. Again Scorpions hit back, with Lloyd O'Connor scoring a classic hooker's try, diving over from the dummy-half position.
Emanuelli converted and it was 12-12 at half-time after the referee controversially blew up, despite Oxford having played the ball before the hooter sounded and 20 metres from goal.
Early in the second half, a fine run and try from Ian Newbury, converted by Emanuelli, put Scorpions ahead for the first time.
This time it was Oxford who drew level as Matty Hadden ran through with Rowland again good with the boot.
Back to the other other end, and youngster Paul Edwards ran through to score with seven minutes left on the clock, making it 22-18 to the visitors.
Oxford rallied and after a useful kick, Marcus Brooker scored in the corner.
Rowland missed the conversion, but his drop goal was enough to win the match before Blaney's try proved to be the icing on the cake.
