From the first song to the tenth, these are richly layered, deeply affecting numbers; listening, you often feel the confidante to a close friend.
I used to be a Saddle Creek girl. And then all the regulars—Cursive, The Faint, Bright Eyes, Now It's Overhead—scattered, new blood was brought in, and, well, I didn't like said new blood. But now I'm happy to find myself a Doghouse girl. Starting with my love for The Honorary Title, I've found more than a handful of musical friends on the Doghouse Records roster, which has grown quite nicely.
Add to that list John Nolan, and his debut solo effort, Height. Perhaps the name doesn't yet sound familiar, but the pedigree will: Nolan was first the lead guitarist for Taking Back Sunday, then left to form Straylight Run. The songs on Height are more stripped down, quieter, true testaments to the reach of Nolan's songwriting. Still steeped in the indie rock vein, the music alternately meanders and hits home. From the first song to the tenth, these are richly layered, deeply affecting numbers; listening, you often feel the confidante to a close friend.
The album kicks off with "The End of the Beginning," an eddy of instruments and found sounds, followed by with the simple pleasure of "Til It's Done to Death." Next up is the hauntingly beautiful "It Takes a Long Time." Nolan delivers his lines in run-on fashion, offering such insights as, "Well, you made it home but I was left on the road/ to sing songs, drink hard/ to fight fatigue in the cold/ sleepwalking days just waiting/ 'til the clock says it's time to let go." Toward the end, the textures pile atop one another and the song swells, encompassing itself in a wave of sound.
Nolan returns to the personal with the killer "Screaming Into the Wind." On this nonstop rush of a song, Nolan layers his vocals, creating the effect of multiple singers. "I Don't Believe You" is a simple, starry song of a man trying to spare a friend's feelings but ultimately unable to; programmed beats and soaring vocals deliver this gentle track. Following a by-the-books cover of Primitive Radio Gods' "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money in My Hand," "Here I Am" is a softly swimming affirmation, swelling then sculling before soaring at the end with Nolan proclaiming without question: "Here I am." "Keep Calm and Carry On," an upbeat indie offering, features with a cacophony, eclectic sounds—taps, keys, synths and more—with Nolan repeatedly asserting, "We keep calm and carry on/ it's all right."
Track nine, "I Won't Ever Be There," is a raw and personal song about faith—or the lack thereof. "Jesus comes to me in my dreams," Nolan sings, "he tells me that I still have a home/ he keeps talking about a place I can go/ where I'm always loved, always forgiven but I know/ I won't ever be there." The piano on this song is haunting, elegiac. As the album ends, you find Nolan revealing, "I want to tell you that I'm all right/ I might slow down or stop sometimes/ I'm just shaking it off/ I'm just telling myself not to let go."
Height is a rich album: instrumentally, sonically, lyrically, vocally. Truly, it's a can't-miss for fans of introspective indie rock. Once again, thanks to Doghouse for the great music. | Laura Hamlett

CHARLOTTE, NC--(Marketwired - May 15, 2014) - Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOTR) ("Chanticleer," or the "Company"), owner and operator of multiple restaurant brands internationally and domestically, announces its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 ("Q1").
Mike Pruitt, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased with the performance of our four brands, both for our more established stores as well as our recently acquired or newly opened restaurants. Our growth obviously comes with increased expense but the incremental expense growth was within our operating plan. We expect our expenses will continue to decline as a percentage of revenues as we bring new stores on line, as evidenced by the reduction of the company's net loss per share by 61% on a consecutive quarter basis."
Restaurant revenue for Q1 2014 increased to $5.55 million, compared to $1.64 million in the comparable period in 2013, and increased 68% quarter-over-quarter from $3.3 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2013 ("Q4"). Revenue increased primarily due to the additional revenues from the acquisition of American Roadside Burgers (ARB) in September 2013, the purchase of the Nottingham (United Kingdom) Hooters in November 2013, the opening of our fifth South African Hooters location in December 2013, the purchase of a majority interest in Just Fresh (JF) in December 2013, the purchases of U.S. Hooters restaurants in Oregon and Washington state and a gaming facility operated through the Oregon Lottery system as well as Spoon Bar and Kitchen in Dallas, Texas in January 2014.
Restaurant gross profit margins for Q1 2014 were 64.2% compared to 61.8% in the comparable period in 2013 and 63.7% in Q4 2013. The Company anticipates continuing quarter-over-quarter margin improvements across its restaurant territories and brands.
Restaurant operating expenses for Q1 2014 were $3.28 million, or 59.2% of restaurant revenue, compared to $980,155, or 59.7% of restaurant revenue in the comparable period in 2013. The increased expense in Q1 2014 was due to the restaurant acquisitions mentioned above which took place late in 2013 through Q1 2014. General and administrative expenses ("G&A") for Q1 2014 were $1.61 million, or 29.0% of total revenue, compared to $720,210 or 43.2% of total revenue in the comparable period in 2013. The increase in G&A was primarily due to increased payroll, professional and consulting fees related to our growth both for the Company and its subsidiaries.
Restaurant EBITDA
The Company saw a 38% improved quarter-over-quarter net loss to $1.45 million from $2.3 million and a 61% improvement of net loss per share of $0.24 per share from $0.61. The Company believes the recent acquisitions and corporate developments have positioned the Company to potentially see profitability by year end.
The Company expects to continue building its portfolio of brands/concepts throughout 2014. To date, Chanticleer Holdings has twenty-two restaurants worldwide, including its most recent opening of Just Fresh's sixth location in BB&T Ballpark, the new home of the Charlotte Knights AAA baseball team, and our recently announced seventh location in the Ballantyne area of Charlotte, North Carolina. The Company also secured its sixth South Africa Hooters restaurant location in Port Elizabeth and expects it to open in the third quarter of 2014. The Company also increased its ownership stake from 49% to 60% in its three Australian Hooters restaurants, two of which are under construction and expected to open in late June 2014.
Mr. Pruitt continued, "In the first quarter of last year, we had only 6 Hooter's restaurants outside the U.S., while we currently operate 4 different brands, 22 restaurants with 5 more in development in 5 different countries. We have invested significantly in bringing in key management personnel to guide our growth, develop our brands and improve menus so that we can make our restaurants scalable and proceeding to future franchise performance. Taking our new concepts to international markets and initiating franchise programs will be a key driver to our continuing growth."
For full disclosure relating to our first quarter financial information, please refer to Chanticleer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the SEC on May 15, 2014, available online at www.sec.gov.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company discloses information regarding adjusted EBITDA and restaurant EBITDA, which differ from the term EBITDA as it is commonly used. In addition to adjusting net income (loss) from continuing operations to exclude taxes, interest, and depreciation and amortization, adjusted EBITDA and restaurant EBITDA also exclude pre-opening costs for our restaurants, non-cash expenses for services, change in fair value of derivative liability and gain on extinguishment of debt. Adjusted EBITDA and restaurant EBITDA are not measures of performance defined in accordance with GAAP. However, adjusted EBITDA and restaurant EBITDA are used internally in planning and evaluating the company's operating performance. Accordingly, management believes that disclosure of these metrics offers investors, bankers and other stakeholders an additional view of the company's operations that, when coupled with the GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of the Company's financial results.
Adjusted EBITDA and restaurant EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net loss or to net cash used in operating activities as a measure of operating results or of liquidity. It may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, and it excludes financial information that some may consider important in evaluating the company's performance. A reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA and restaurant EBITDA is included in the accompanying financial schedules.
About Chanticleer Holdings, Inc.
Headquartered in a Charlotte, NC, Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. (HOTR), together with its subsidiaries, owns and operates restaurant brands in the United States and internationally. The Company is a franchisee owner of Hooters® restaurants in international markets including England, South Africa, Hungary, and Brazil and has joint ventured with the current Hooters franchisee in Australia, and recently acquired two Hooters restaurants in the United States. The Company also owns and operates American Roadside Burgers, Spoon Bar & Kitchen and owns a majority interest in Just Fresh restaurants in the U.S.

COINTELPRO is an acronym for the FBI's Counter Intelligence Program, which was used in the 1960s to monitor, manipulate and disrupt social and political movements in the United States. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Black Panthers, anti-Vietnam War activists, and the American Indian Movement were among the program's targets. Democracy Now! has extensively covered COINTELPRO and its aftermath, as well as similar tactics still used against today's generation of political activists.

California lawmakers are finally getting serious about the worsening drought in California.
Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer jointly introduced a bill this week that outlines a host of anti-drought efforts to be paid for with federal funds. The California Emergency Drought Relief Act calls for desalination research, grants for new water-metering and stormwater capture, as well as $200 million for new water recycling projects. All of these measures are a last-ditch attempt to make the most of what water remains in the state before it dries up.

Bespoke has started using 3d printing to make custom cast prototypes that would stabilize broken body parts just like conventional casts. Unlike the traditional casts which get dirty and suffocate your skin, these 3d-printed casts use a smaller amount of materials, can be worn in the shower and can even make the healing process more efficient.
Beijing Olympics déjà vu as city is chosen to host 2022 Winter Games
It was a close vote, but Beijing has been selected to host the 2022 Winter Olympics. The Chinese capital beat out Almaty, Kazakhstan 44 to 40 in an International Olympic Committee ballot today in Kuala Lumpur. The decision puts Beijing in the unique position of being the first city ever chosen to host both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games. Some of the factors that helped push the city over the top include its plan to reuse some of its existing infrastructure from the 2008 Summer Olympics like Herzog and de Meuron's famous Bird's Nest stadium and the award-winning Watercube, as well as talk of a new high-speed rail system that would benefit the area well after the games are over.

Earlier this month, we reported the sad news that Edith Macefield's iconic Seattle home likely faced demolition, after its new owners determined it would be too expensive to renovate as a coffee shop. The bungalow came to share a city block with a shopping center in the downtown neighborhood of Ballard, WA when Macefield, the home's former owner, refused to sell her property to developers. The now-vacant home, a symbol for anti-corporate struggles, has reportedly been saved from the chopping block and will remain intact, thanks to a yet-to-be-named nonprofit organization.

Utah Jazz waive veteran point guard Jamaal Tinsley
Nov 12, 2013, 3:44 PM EDT
The Utah Jazz brought in veteran point guard Jamaal Tinsley to provide a little stability with rookie Trey Burke out with an injured finger. At least that was the plan.
Tinsley didn't provide much of anything — 1.1 points a game on 20 percent shooting, plus 2.9 assists per game. He started five of the Jazz's eight games, all losses.
Monday night coach Tyron Corbin moved him to the bench, Tuesday they let him go reports Aaron Falk of the Salt Lake Tribune.
Announcement: Pro Basketball Talk's partner FanDuel is hosting a one-day $15,000 Fantasy Basketball league for Tuesday night's games. It's just $10 to join and first prize is $2,000. Starts at 7:30pm ET. Here's the link.
So, if he is out, who is in? Marc Stein of ESPN has heard rumblings.
In Utah is all just a placeholder until Burke gets healthy, then their star rookie will get the keys to the Jazz offense. For better or worse… well, not sure it can be much worse.

Maintaining Excitement
By Cliff Korn, BS, LMT, NCTMB
Did you look forward to going to work today? Were you attentive as you made up your table for your first client? Were you genuinely pleased to see that client come through the door? How about at the end of the day - were you just as pleased to see your last client of the day enter your place of business?
My guess is that if you're in your first year of practice, you answered, "yes" to all of these questions.If you're in your fifth year, it is probably less likely that your "yes" was quite as enthusiastic. If you've been practicing 10, 15 or 20 or more years, you might have to pause and think before answering. The premise I am using in all my following observations is that maintaining excitement and freshness in our practice is in our own best interest and the best interest of our clients.
Certainly a number of factors influence your specific responses to these questions. One factor is the body mechanics of the practitioner. I doubt you would look forward to caring for one more client if your own body was in pain from poor body mechanics. Another factor might be client load. More clients per day than your stamina can allow tends to lessen your ability to appropriately focus on additional clients. Likewise, too few clients may mean too much time on your hands, causing boredom.
I'm writing about the topic of excitement because I have observed a subtle change in the massage therapists I have encountered in the past month. The one thing that has changed seems to be the higher stress level of the typical client, the result no doubt of current world situations. In the week following September 11th, I noticed that massage therapists fell into two major groupings. The first had to force themselves to go to work. They preferred to stay in the apparent security of their homes, and they didn't want to see their clients or hear their clients' "petty" complaints of neck/back/shoulder discomfort when people were desperately wandering New York City with pictures of lost family members. The second group couldn't wait to get to work. They looked forward to spending time in an environment where they knew they could effectively participate in something. I'm not making value judgments about either group, as each was just responding to their own coping mechanisms and skills. Certainly if either of the coping methods were to continue, it would be problematic. The first group's practices would quickly dwindle because of lack of interest. The second group's practices also would likely diminish, because the therapeutic relationship would change to benefit the therapist instead of the client. As you know, clients don't like that much!
The higher client stress levels seem to have encouraged the therapists I know to reinvigorate themselves to help others cope. Hopefully this will reignite the fire of excitement these therapists have for their practices.
If the premise is that maintaining excitement and freshness in our practice is in the best interests of both our clients and ourselves, it behooves us to consider more of the things that aid that process. With job excitement, you believe that your work will be satisfying in the long run; you care about the quality of your work; and you are more committed to the therapist/client relationship and the profession as a whole.
An internet web search brings up much (and frequently conflicting) information on job excitement and satisfaction. However, there are many constants in this information that are directly attributable to a career in massage therapy. The "essence" of job satisfaction is to:
I certainly get all of these in my clinical practice! I can't imagine a massage setting that doesn't allow for all three of these items to occur regularly. Job satisfaction is not synonymous with complacency, but with enthusiasm! With enthusiasm, you can tackle each Monday morning with drive and ambition. Enthusiasm also minimizes the negatives that are always present in varying degrees. With enthusiasm, even negatives can be turned into opportunities for satisfaction. As an emotion, negative is stronger than positive: dissatisfaction seems to be more motivating than satisfaction. In our practices, this is manifested by our clients' reacting more visibly and immediately (e.g., booking appointments) to pain and/or dysfunction than to a pleasant stimulus.
Another "truism" of job satisfaction is that most workers like their work more if there is little minute-by-minute supervision of tasks. Massage therapy, in a treatment room environment, provides the practitioner such autonomy.
Our work has frequently been termed "intuitive." To a large extent, I think the better therapists among us have honed their intuitive skills to a high degree. However, I think that much of our job satisfaction is related to education. Education gives us the confidence to proceed to our full capacities, and enables us to expand our abilities. It makes it possible to become even more excited about our work. I don't know about you, but the more I learn, the more intuitive I become!
Some textbook-like issues that are particularly applicable to our profession infer that job excitement benefits from:
Right now, America needs us to be at the top of our game. It needs us to be looking forward to Monday morning. The tensions and stresses inherent in war, threats of war, invisible enemies and the unknown, make our unique skills more important now than they have ever been in the past. The strides that the industry had made in the past decades to educate consumers is now paying off as worried individuals seek out our services and abilities.
I'd love to hear how you keep your excitement level up. Please share your thoughts with others in our "We Get Letters & Email" section. And I hope every one of us can honestly answer "yes" to each of my opening paragraph questions!

Review: The Healer, By Antti Tuomainen
Harvill Secker, £12.99
Tuesday 19 March 2013
"Which was worse – complete certainty that the worst had happened, or this fear, building up moment by moment? Sudden collapse, or slow, crumbling disintegration?" Helsinki is almost submerged under torrential rain, and Finnish society is in an advanced state of decay. Food supplies are almost non-existent, with brutal gangs ruling the streets and social services barely functioning. Worst of all, perhaps, is the threat of diseases, including tuberculosis, ebola and malaria. A nagging obbligato to this breakdown is the never-ending downpour.
Reading this prize-winning third novel by Antti Tuomainen in a sodden Britain makes The Healer seem edgily prescient, but the book belongs to a long line of disaster novels that includes titles by John Christopher and JG Ballard. Tuomainen's book is set in the near future, but nothing here is less than frighteningly plausible.
But if all this suggests a science-fiction piece, that's not quite the whole story. The Healer won the Scandinavian Glass Key crime-fiction prize and, against the vivid picture of climate catastrophe, is still a compelling crime novel.Struggling poet Tapani Lehtinen has decided to continue to live in Helsinki, even as the city crumbles. But his wife Joanna (a journalist) disappears, and he begins a desperate search for her. Everything points to the story she was working on, her search for a serial killer with a political agenda known as The Healer.
It's no accident that Antti Tuomainen's protagonist is a poet. As rendered in this sensitive translation from the Finnish by Lola Rogers, the book's language is as important as the tension generated by the narrative. While Ballard is evoked, the book is a polar opposite to the British author's vision of the slow collapse of society in the face of implacable nature. Here, the hunt for a missing woman by an increasingly distraught hero moves at the same allegro tempo as the vivid Armageddon. A crime novel, yes - but it's the surefooted rendition of rain-washed urban decay that will stay in the mind of most readers.

"A stop-motion sci-fi journey through a dream world." - Pitchfork
"The video intermittently alternates between hazy, lo-fi footage of the band performing the song and delightfully creepy stop motion animation of a tortured mad scientist with what appears to be some sort of rodent's skull for a head. With his nights plagued by unattainable desires of escape and his days consisting of bleak cycles of tending to foreboding machinery, the deranged alchemist is a bit of a sympathetic character even when he bears an uncanny resemblance to something I found when dissecting an owl pellet in the fifth grade… Either way, the video is fantastic, perfectly matching the vibe of the band and the vibe of the season." - The Needle Drop
"A stop-motion goatman and some dingy post-punk.
Recurring dreams are a goddamn nuisance, especially when your waking life isn't much better. That's the story for sludgy post-punk act Bleeding Rainbow's "Drift Away" video, a murky stop-motion animated headtrip about an experimenting goatman that just wants to escape. Sometimes I feel like the horrifying goatman, and sometimes I feel like his crazy dreams, you know? MONDAYS." - Chart Attack
