Jura Wines with Attitude
The ultimate in oxidative wine is vin jaune (yellow wine). It's made Jura known throughout the wine world for its extreme concentration and range of flavors, from smoky to yeasty, with intense acidity.
To become a vin jaune, the wine (generally made from Savagnin) is aged in barrel for six years and three months. During this time, a layer of yeast forms on the surface and protects the wine from air.
Patrice Beguet, of Domaine Hughes-Beguet in Arbois, calls the process "a mystery," and there are concerns of late that barrels are failing to develop the yeast layer. No topping up is allowed, so the wine gradually loses volume and gains concentration.
The greatest vin jaune comes from Château-Chalon. The wine goes, uniquely, into a clavelin, a 620-ml bottle (allegedly, the amount of wine that comes from a liter of grape juice after aging).
Drink this extraordinary wine with strong, hard cheeses (like the local Comté), with mushroom dishes, lobster or shrimp. Perhaps the greatest pleasure, however, is to drink it by itself at the end of a meal.
94 Domaine Berthet-Bondet 2006 Vin Jaune (Château—Chalon). This exceptional example shows why Château-Chalon is so special. Its balance of acidity and fragrant fruitiness underpinning the yeast and almond flavors is unique. It's ready to drink in all its glory, but will age for many, many years. VOS Selections.

A court has ordered the police to arrest the security guard, who allegedly shot Hamza Hussain dead, and produce him before the court on May 6.
Two suspects in the murder case were remanded in judicial custody on Thursday until May 6, when the court would begin a formal trial of the killing that has brought back memories of the infamous Shahzeb Khan murder case.
Teenage student Hamza was shot dead allegedly by the security guard of his schoolmate, Shoaib, after a conversation turned ugly outside a café in the upscale neighbourhood of Defence on April 27.
The guard has been on the run since but the family of Shoaib surrendered to the police. The next day, Judicial Magistrate (South) Waqar Ahmed Soomro allowed the police to keep the two suspects, Shoaib and his driver Mushtaq, at the Darakhshan police station.
On Thursday, the alleged killers of Hamza were brought to the court. The investigation officer told the court that another suspect, security guard Akmal Rehman, opened fire at the victim and was absconding. The court ordered the interrogation of the two suspects arrested regarding the incident.
The case against the three suspects involved in the murder of the O-Level student has been registered under Sections 302, 114 and 34 of the Pakistan Penal Code.
Darakhshan police claimed 17-year-old Hamza, who lived on Khayaban-e-Shujaat, studied at a private school in Defence and had a relationship with a girl at the school. Shoaib disliked their friendship, however, and used to tease the girl. Several arguments had taken place between the boys earlier also, the police added.
On April 27, Shoaib called Hamza at the restaurant to finally resolve their differences but their conversation soon turned ugly and they started exchanging hot words. When Hamza finally slapped Shoaib, his guard, Akmal, fired at the boy, critically injuring him. The victim was shifted to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, where he succumbed to his injuries.
The police raided the residence of Shoaib but the suspects were not there and his family was unaware about the incident.
The family claimed to have given Shoaib a guard because of a kidnapping threat, police said. The guard has not been arrested but the police took into custody Shoaib and his driver later on.
In a similar case, a 20-year-old university student, Shahzeb Khan, was gunned down after brawl in Defence on December 25 last year.
His cold-blooded murder had sparked uproar across the country, prompting Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry to take notice of the incident. Four suspects are being tried for his murder at an anti-terrorism court.

If the United States is the greatest nation in the world, how is it that UNICEF has ranked us 26th in childhood well-being and lower for overall health? How can we be the greatest when we fail to pay millions of workers a living wage so they can adequately feed their families and provide for their health needs?
The answer is firmly rooted with the so-called 1 percent. This is the wealthy group of men and a few women who control our economy. They're the corporate board members who decide to pay the CEO millions, while holding firm on the minimum wage for low-level employees and denying benefits that would allow people to go to the doctor before their only choice becomes the emergency room. A typical example is McDonald's, where the CEO makes $8 million a year vs. restaurant employees who average $15,080 a year.
Closing this huge gap is not a socialist notion. It's essential to making our country great and comes at a small price for the wealthiest of our citizens. I implore these people of power and influence to look at these issues with compassion and a sense of fairness.

A Winning Strategy
How the Bush administration changed course and won the war in Afghanistan.
Nov 26, 2001, Vol. 7, No. 11 • By ROBERT KAGAN and WILLIAM KRISTOL
The military strategy conformed to Powell's political and diplomatic strategy. While airstrikes targeted the Taliban leadership structure, the State Department pursued what became known as the "southern strategy." State Department and CIA officials worked arduously to put together a Pashtun coalition acceptable to Pakistan. In the process, attempting to sweeten the pot, the State Department made a significant compromise regarding the future role of the Taliban. Secretary Powell, meeting with President Musharraf in the second week of October, agreed with the Pakistani president that "moderate" Taliban members might be able "to participate in developing a new Afghanistan." Despite this concession, however, no Pashtun coalition could be patched together. On October 15, the Times's Michael Gordon reported that "the behind-the-scenes effort to organize a leadership that would replace Taliban leaders had made no discernible progress." CIA officials were making no headway organizing Pashtun factions in southern Afghanistan. Meanwhile, the CIA was not even working closely with many key figures in the Northern Alliance.
At about that time, senior American officials, especially at the Pentagon and at the National Security Council, began to worry that the war was not going well. The bombing was not bringing the Taliban to its knees. The United States was no closer to finding bin Laden. And efforts to put together a post-Taliban coalition government acceptable to Pakistan were getting nowhere. On October 12, the National Security Council completed a review of the situation. The review, which called for an accelerated effort to overthrow the Taliban, appears to have been a partial victory for Rumsfeld. Within days, American airstrikes intensified, and they included some scattered strikes against front-line Taliban troops in the north. But, as Gordon reported on October 17, the Taliban front-line forces still remained "largely exempt from the barrage of airstrikes."
The division between State and Defense appeared to be widening. According to the Times, Afghan opposition leaders reported hearing conflicting messages from the Americans. Defense officials were urging them to take "a free hand" in military action, but the State Department was "urging caution." Northern Alliance leaders also said that they were not receiving promised supplies and that coordination with the American military was limited. Rumsfeld publicly complained that the American relationship with the anti-Taliban forces was "still incomplete."
Rumsfeld's frustrations boiled over in public the next week. He complained about the limits of an air-only campaign. "There are things you can find from the air," he noted. "But you cannot really do sufficient damage" with air power alone. To be successful, Rumsfeld believed there had to be some land force to "crawl around on the ground and find people." And the Times reported that Rumsfeld was also privately expressing his "frustration" with the State Department and CIA's futile efforts to build a Pashtun resistance. Publicly, he complained, "We do not have the kinds of interaction with some elements in the south that I would have to have to see progress." That, he implied, was why it was so important to get some progress in the north.
The first important sign of a shift in strategy may have come on October 18, when President Bush, on the eve of his trip to Shanghai, declared that American bombing attacks in Afghanistan were intended to pave the way for "friendly troops on the ground" to overthrow the Taliban leadership. The president's statement reflected Rumsfeld's preferred strategy. In retrospect, this appears to have been the moment when President Bush sided with his secretary of defense.
Rumsfeld did his best to exploit the opening provided by the president. On October 19 he announced that the United States was prepared to give direct military assistance to Afghan opposition forces aiming to attack Kabul and overthrow the Taliban. In an obvious effort to seize the initiative in the internal administration dispute, Rumsfeld offered a remarkably detailed, public checklist of what the United States would provide the Northern Alliance: "They're going to have some help in food, they're going to have some help in ammunition, they're going to have some help in air support and assistance." By October 21, Northern Alliance leaders were reporting the arrival, for the first time, of American Special Forces to coordinate the opposition's military actions with American airstrikes. The American goal now, Rumsfeld declared, "would be to try to make [the Northern Alliance] successful, to do things that are helpful to them so that they have the opportunity to move forward...towards Mazar-i-Sharif...towards the northeast . . . [and] to move south towards Kabul."

Chiang Mai aquarium
Thailand's best
What we say:
Instead of trying to cover the whole of Chiang Mai zoo in one post we'll concentrate on what to our mind is the best part of it — the aquarium. Chiang Mai's state of the art aquarium opened some three years ago and it's been improving ever since.
There's an extensive array of fresh and sea water species plus a few reptiles and snakes. A highlight is the huge walk-through tank, which on one side recreates the underwater Mekong eco-system and another has coral reef flora and fauna. The underwater walk-through glass tunnel, at 133m long, claims to be the longest in the world and even if it isn't, it certainly is spectacular. You can even do scuba diving courses in the tank and get up close to the reef sharks and giant Mekong catfish, though you might not want to get too close to these piranha fellows below?
The aquarium is situated roughly half way around the zoo, making it a fair walk from the entrance, especially on a hot day, but a sort of overgrown golf buggy does the loop, dropping you off outside any of the main exhibits. For 20 baht a ticket and you can get on and off an unlimited number of times. We'd allow at least an hour to visit what is a pretty large aquarium, which does make the fairly steep entrance price a bit more worth it.
You can turn up at the zoo, pay your 100 baht entrance fee, then pay a supplementary entrance charge for the pandas, (110 adults, 50 kids), aquarium (450 adults 350 kids) and so on, though there is a combined zoo and aquarium entrance fee which is a slightly better deal: 520 baht or 390 baht for kids gets you a ticket for both and includes a minibus shuttle to the entrance. Anything between 90 and 135 cm classifies you as a kid, regardless of age, and anyone under 90 cm is free, so a good deal if you're vertically challenged. (It's only 250 baht if you can persuade them you're Thai or at least pay Thai taxes, which puts you in a very small privileged minority in this country.)
Anyway here are a few more pretty pix of some of the residents.
A few very pretty sea fans followed by a triggerfish among some live coral.
… and last but not least, a horny toad in the amphibian and reptiles section.
More detailsPart of Chiang Mai Zoo complex, 100 Huaykaew Rd, Chiang Mai
Opening Hours: Daily 08:00-17:00
How to get there: The aquarium is located about half way around the main zoo road; it's a decent walk that can be skipped by paying 20 baht for a golf buggy shuttle that can also take you around the rest of the zoo for a full day.

The Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (MoCADA) uses the visual arts as a point of departure for exploring new artistic production across a variety of disciplines. Through exhibitions and programming, MoCADA incites dialogue on pressing social and political issues facing the African Diaspora, and fosters a dynamic space for the creation and continuous evolution of culture.
MoCADA was founded in 1999 by Laurie Angela Cumbo in a brownstone owned by the Bridge Street AWME Church in the Bedford Stuyvesant community of Brooklyn, New York. The concept of the museum grew from Ms. Cumbo's graduate thesis at New York University, which focused on the feasibility of an African diaspora museum contributing to the revitalization of central Brooklyn economically, socially and aesthetically. The museum began with socially and politically charged exhibitions and public programs focused on contemporary issues impacting people of the African diaspora. Fourteen years later, MoCADA has grown to serve both adults and youth throughout the diaspora, with an emphasis on underserved communities of color, through a diverse range of exhibitions, education and community programs.
In 2006, MoCADA relocated to the ground floor of James E. Davis 80 Arts Building within the BAM Cultural District in a space designed by the architectural firm of studiosumo. The larger space gives MoCADA an opportunity to expand its audiences and its programming, which includes the Exhibition and Curatorial Program, The Curatorial Fellowship and Internship Program, the Educational Artist-In-Schools and Guided Tours Program, the KIDflix Film Fest of Bed-Stuy, MoCADA Television, and the Soul of Brooklyn Tourism Initiative. MoCADA is currently working with Rodney Leon Architects PLLC to plan for the future home of MoCADA.

(AP Photo/Queensland Police) / AP
CAIRNS, Australia (AP) Australian police were mystified by a chaotic crime scene including a hole in the ceiling and a smelly pool of vomit-like liquid until they found the culprit was a 5.7-meter (19-foot) python.
The massive snake weighing in at 17 kilograms (37 pounds) was captured a day after a suspected burglary was reported at a charity store in Queensland in northeastern Australia.
Its head was the size of a small dog, Police Sgt. Don Auld said Wednesday.
Before they found the python, investigators working theory was that a human burglar with an appetite for destruction and a serious illness had gone on a rampage inside the St. Vincent de Paul store in the small town of Ingham.
We thought a person had fallen through the ceiling because the roof panel was cut in half, Auld said. When theyve hit the floor, theyve vomited and then staggered and fallen over. Thats what we thought anyway.
Police now suspect the python entered the store through the roof, which was damaged in a cyclone two years ago.
The animal then plummeted through the ceiling, knocking over dishes, clothes and other items, before relieving itself on the floor. It somehow managed to hide from officials until staff spotted it lying alongside a wall the next day.
A local snake catcher was called in to capture the reptile, which has been relocated to nearby wetlands.

Usability study of a library's mobile website: an example from Portland State University
Article comments
This work was published in the 2012 issue of Information Technology and Libraries (http://www.ala.org/lita/ital/)
To discover how a newly developed library mobile website performed across a variety of devices, the authors used a hybrid field and laboratory methodology to conduct a usability test of the website. Twelve student participants were recruited and selected according to phone type. Results revealed a wide array of errors attributed to site design, wireless network connections, as well as phone hardware and software. This study provides an example methodology for testing library mobile websites, identifies issues associated with mobile websites, and provides recommendations for improving the user experience.

RENO, Nev. -- As people are wrapping up their three-day weekend, it's easy to forget the meaning behind the holiday, but today is more than barbecues and an extra day at the lake.
It's the unofficial start of summer and may people spent their day off, having fun. Some people went camping, others cooled off at the lake with friends and family, but it's easy to forget the significance of the day.
"Some see it as a three day weekend, just another day off but I think it's good to just get back to what it actually is," Lynn Wagener, Sparks local said.
"Memorial day should be a day where we actually should at least take a little bit of time to remember the people who have given the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country so we can have the freedom to enjoy a day like memorial day," James Pierce, member of the National Guard.
For people who have been on the line of defense, it adds an entirely new perspective.
"Ever since joining the guard some of these people that we remember today were friends of mine," Pierce said. "They were our neighbors they were in school with us, they are people we know."
"We all know at least one person who has served or is service so it's always a good day of the year to recognize those that we know," Wagener said.
While it's perfectly okay to celebrate the holiday, many locals keep them in the back of their minds.
"Instead of saying happy memorial day, say thank you or even just a nod of remembrance," Pierce said.
For many people it's just another three day weekend, a day off work for school, but it's also a day of recognition. It's important to remember the men and women in service and to just say thank you.

Part was delivered fast and looks great. OEM part that was much more expensive on other sites. Thanks PartsGeeks!
I have yet to have the part installed. However, very disappointed that the hardware to attach the part was not included. I have sent a message to Parts Geek asking whether or not they sell this hardware. Have not heard yet.
It fit perfectly. Was very satisfied with the products from Partsgeek.
Very pleased with the speed of service and quality of the part received. My only knock is that the part did not contain the nylon rivets needed to install nor was it presented as an option to purchase. And as I found out, the rivets available at Autozone do not quite fit.
This was my first time to use Partsgeek.com and I was very pleased and impressed! The website was very easy to use and I was able to locate my part very quickly. The shipment was received much faster than I anticipated, and the part was exactly what I needed. I will definitely use Partsgeek again! Very Satisfied customer!

Landing in Reno over Christmas and the day after, 19 chamber musicians will dive into a challenging, fast-paced music program and submerge themselves in hours of intense rehearsal.
The six-day 10th Nevada Chamber Music Festival, opening Friday, will present a host of world-renowned musicians performing a blend of well-known and unknown repertoire.
The festival has grown over the years to include more musicians and two additional days from its start in the early-2000s by Reno Chamber Orchestra music director and festival artistic director Theodore Kuchar. Having founded the ...

And no, I'm not referencing one of my favorite movies ever! I'm talking about princess styled brides – duh! And not only are they back, but they are completely redefined!
No longer are the princess brides of too much tulle and over the top headpieces – yes, I'm talking about you Celine Dion…
& you, crazy inflatable Barbie with too much… everything! I mean, really? Who let you say yes to the mess… I mean dress :)
Now are the days of the redefined princess bride. One that can be found in a more figure flattering, curve hugging gown, statement-worthy headwear and vintage jewels. Think long fishtail-styled trains, tastefully modified tiaras (yes, tiaras!) and cathedral length veils. Consider turning in that old Cinderella ball gown for a body skimming dress bedecked in all things that dazzle.
And while the glass slippers may also have to go, the fairytale *twinkle* can stay! Let the sparkles dance throughout the entire ensemble by adding in sequin and crystal bling to all your big day details. Imagine everything from your dress and bouquet to the centerpieces and cake sprinkled in pixie dust! It'll be avant garde glitter at its best! As long as the fairy tale wedding is done right – avoiding all things Exhibit A and B ^^ encompass - I'd say you're well tuned for one of the happiest happily ever afters ever! See below and start wishing…
Arm yourself with frocked in layers and chandelier earrings and see how ooh your la la can be!
Modernize the traditional tiara and show how fab regal can be!
Wow 'em at the wedding with a cathedral length veil and round it up for the reception… it's a win / win for princesses everywhere!

With the sun shining brightly, dozens of war veterans lined up outside the Anderson & Campbell Funeral Home on motorcycles, behind a hearse carrying 21 mahogany urns containing the ashes of local veterans.
For years, the ashes of these veterans had gone unclaimed and abandoned - until Thursday morning.
Earlier, inside the Main Street funeral home, more than 70 people honored the 21 veterans who served in World War I, World War II, Korea and Vietnam. Their remains had been abandoned - some for 17 years, others for as long as 46 years. ...

Just went to purchase a refurb 27" iMac that i have had my eye on for a while, have been waiting for new line-up to see a price drop but couldn't wait.
I know that stock of refurbished models varies but there are no iMac, MacBook AIr/Pro or Mac Mini, Mac Pro, Displays nothing. Zero stock items in the Refurbished Mac Section. As I have frequently looked at the refurb section i know about stock changes but have never before seen it entirely empty. Does this mean perhaps the new iMac range is upon us and the refurb pricing is being lowered.

So, it has begun. The biggest football tournament in Europe kicked start last night with 2004 champion, Greece draw with co-host Poland and the Russian underline their Euro credential by hammering Republic Czech 4 -1. None of these results will matter though as it is very unlikely that any of these teams will be competing for the honour of being the best team in Europe come July 1. The World Champion, Spain will start as the favourite with Holland and Germany being touted as possible contender.
While I'd like to see the Three Lions doing well in this tournament, I don't think they will even get past the group stages. Loosing Rooney for two matches in one thing but the unprofessional manner of the England FA handling the John Terry – Rio Ferdinand saga could probably be costly to them especially if things don't get into their way in the first game against France.
I had predicted Spain to win the 2008 Euro and 2010 World Cup and I was spot on. But, I believe all good things must come to an end and the failure of both Real Madrid and Barcelona in this year's Champion League indicates that things might not be easy for La Furia Roja this year. They also lost the prolific David Villa, while Fernando Torres might need some uplifting before he can shine in this year's tournament. Having said that, don't be surprised if they win it again this year and Torres ends up as the star of Euro 2012. They certainly have the quality. It is just a matter of putting things right again.
Since all the teams will go all out against Spain, teams like Germany and Holland can surely benefit from it. Both teams have quality players and in Mesut Ozil, Germany certainly have one of the players to watch in the tournament. I don't think Holland have the strength and depth like Germany but going forward, they certainly are an awesome team.
By the way, here are my predictions for this year's Euro 2012:
- FRANCE will be the champion. Yup, I surprise myself with that, but I have a feeling that La Blues can win it this year.
- KARIM BENZEMA will be the star of the tournament. I believe this guy will score plenty of goals and become the top scorer of Euro 2012.
- SPAIN won't even make it into the semi-final.
- ENGLAND and PORTUGAL won't get pass the group stages.
- ITALY, GERMANY, FRANCE and HOLLAND in the semi-final
How's about that? Anyone beg to differ? 😀

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, the administration official who has been the face of the Affordable Care Act and who has shouldered much of the blame for the troubled HealthCare.gov website, declined to say Friday whether she had ever offered her resignation to President Barack Obama.
"I'm not going to discuss what I talk about with the president," she said during an appearance in Miami.
Mrs. Sebelius has spent the last three-and-a-half years implementing the Affordable Care Act. So, when problems began to mount amid the botched rollout of the online insurance marketplace, a number of Republican lawmakers called for her dismissal or resignation.
So far, the Obama administration hasn't fired anyone for the malfunctioning website, but the White House brought in Jeffrey Zients, a trusted adviser, to lead the effort to fix HealthCare.gov.
Mr. Obama has stood by Mrs. Sebelius, noting that she didn't write the code for the website. On Friday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney would not address the question of whether Mrs. Sebelius had offered to resign but repeated that the president has confidence in his cabinet secretary and appreciates the work she has done.
In Miami, Mrs. Sebelius also waved off a question about whether the president's promise that "if you like your plan, you can keep your plan" was a lie. This week, the fact-checking website Politifact.com named the president's repeated assurances about keeping health coverage "the lie of the year."
For the last few years, Mr. Obama has said dozens of times that the Affordable Care Act would not force people to change their health insurance. After millions of Americans began receiving notices that their health coverage had been cancelled, Mr. Obama announced that he would allow canceled plans that don't meet the law's requirements to be extended for a year.
"The statement about keeping your plan was one that is applicable to the vast majority of Americans in the health insurance market," Mrs. Sebelius said Friday.
The Miami Herald posted video of Mrs. Sebelius's remarks online.

|Mass spectrometric techniques for characterizing low-molecular-weight resins used as paint varnishes.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23151653 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|The molecular structure of three low-molecular-weight resins used as paint varnishes has been characterized by use of an approach based on three different mass spectrometric techniques. We investigated the ketone resin MS2A, the aldehyde resin Laropal A81, and the hydrocarbon resin Regalrez 1094, now commonly used in restoration. To date, the molecular structures of these resins have not been completely elucidated. To improve current knowledge of the chemical composition of these materials, information obtained by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS), pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py/GC/MS), and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-Q-ToF) was combined. Analysis, in solution, of the whole polymeric fraction of the resins by flow-injection ESI-Q-ToF, and of the non-polymeric fraction by GC-MS, enabled us to identify previously unreported features of the polymer structures. In addition, the Py-GC/MS profiles that we obtained will help to enhance the databases currently available in the literature. The proposed approach can be extended to other low-molecular-weight resins used as varnishes in conservation.

I have regularly used this video in any sessions I teach that cover Boolean operators for the last several years. The humor and dinosaurs are just cheesy enough to be funny rather than groan-inducing, and the visual (as well as verbal) explanation of how Boolean operators work is helpful for those who learn better by seeing rather than hearing.It is, however, rather long at 7 minutes. It would be more helpful if broken down into two (shorter) videos: one on the need for coming up with additional keywords/related terms, and another on the mechanics of searching with Boolean operators.

Please log in or register to answer this question. 2 Answers 0 votes Best answer Usually, a Pokémon's stats are calculated upon leveling up; however, Pokémon stored in the PC have only the numbers used in the calculations stored, (namely the EVs, IVs and base stats) so depositing and withdrawing a Pokémon from the PC will cause its stats to be recalculated. By training or by using vitamins or stat-reducing berries, the number of effort values can be changed between levels. answered Dec 3, 2012 by Psychic x selected Dec 18, 2012 by Psychic x Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes That is because that has not been invented yet.

The 49ers' New Stadium Is Probably The Future Of Concessions
Yesterday saw the 49ers' very first game at their new home, Levi's Stadium, and if you had to pick one quote from a fan to summarize the tens of thousands of opinions out there, it'd be the one the Chronicle got from one season-ticket holder: "I live in San Francisco, so it's a little far. But this is really nice." »

this conversation has been terminated.
It seems distinctly similar to a conversation we had last night.
pokemon gota catch them all u teach me and i teach u pokemon gota catch them all yea
Album Rating: 4.5can't stop listening to this
Album Rating: 3.5Piano intro to The Blue channel is awesome.
Album Rating: 4.5yes
Album Rating: 3.5It sounds slightly out of place imo.
Album Rating: 4.5nah
Album Rating: 3.0I don't Like 'em.
Album Rating: 5.0seeing them tomorrow, seems like they've been playing 4 or 5 songs off this lately live, so i'll be satisfied
Album Rating: 5.0A true classic. I still rock this cd and everytime I do its a memorable experience.
you know... I kinda like this.
really catchy.
Album Rating: 3.0i don't know why so many people are enamored with this album. it's good, but it's not THAT good. there are some really enjoyable songs, but many of them are pretty immature too. the album just gets little too much love i think. Louder Now & New Again are MUCH better.
Album Rating: 4.5immaturity is an objectively negative trait
oh no wait that's STUPID.
Album Rating: 5.0I agree that New Again is better than TAYF. But with that said, TAYF was - as I said earlier on a list of mine - THE soundtrack of my life years ago. Yeah, it's pretty immature, but it's still a great record. I get all nostalgic listening to this, while when I'm listening to NA I think about the present, so it's all good. They aren't the best band in the world, they're just the band I'm more identified with.
Album Rating: 5.0this is so by far the best thing they've ever done, why are we even debating this
Album Rating: 3.0good point strikey
oh no wait it's STUPID
obviously immaturity isn't necessarily bad. but that doesn't mean that it's good either. i'm willing to bet that a big part of your 4.5 rating is just the same sentimental reasons that so many people have for liking TAYF. it's a very emotional album. but musically, it's TBS's first album: it is immature. you have to at least admit that their sound tightened up a lot over the course of the next 3 albums(and especially the last 2).
