For the first 31-plus minutes, Newtown High School's girls' basketball team was playing from behind. But it's the final score that counts, and Haley Ryan's go-ahead 3-pointer with just 26 seconds left stood up as the host Nighthawks shocked the Hillhouse Academics 48-45 in the consolation game of the Threes For Charity Tournament on December 20. Ryan drained a shot from downtown for Newtown's first lead, 46-45, and the Hawks hung on to improve to 3-1 this winter. The Academics, who led 22-6 after one quarter of play but saw a scrappy Nighthawk squad climb back, fell to 2-2. Newtown lost to Cromwell and Hillhouse fell to Pomperaug of Southbury in tourney openers the night before. After a tough start, the Nighthawks fought to within 30-19 at halftime, hung around in the third quarter, showed grit and determination, and also capitalized on Hillhouse's foul shooting woes to complete the comeback.
Newtown High School's girls' and boys' indoor track teams warmed up for the season in cold conditions, practicing at the Blue & Gold Stadium track throughout the preseason. They'll continue to run outside as long as the weather permits, but welcome the warmth, and competition that comes along with it, of the competitive season. The girls are coming off a fifth-place finish in the South-West Conference last winter, and the boys were sixth in the SWC a year ago. Both squads have plenty of experienced runners and some unproven but strong newcomers as they look forward to another successful winter.
Newtown High School's boys' basketball and wrestling teams began their winter seasons with victories, and the hockey and swim teams fell against tough opponents, on December 17. On the basketball court, the Nighthawks used a turnover-fueled 12-0 run to turn a slim fourth-quarter lead into a 16-point advantage en route to a 55-38 victory over visiting New Fairfield. The Hawks scored each of those game-changing dozen points off steals, a traveling call, and a backcourt violation — all caused by Newtown's pressure defense. In the game, Jeremy Doski had six steals, and Charlie Huegi and Will Dalton came up with three thefts apiece. Newtown's scoring was led by Harry Depuy's 16, Dalton's 11, and Jacob Burden's 10. Newtown's wrestling team went to Bunnell High in Stratford and, behind 11 pins, rolled to an 81-0 triumph. The hockey and swimming and diving teams also kicked off the campaign on the same night. The hockey team fell 7-2 to New Milford at Danbury Ice Arena; NHS goals were scored by Matt Pelison and Scott McLean. In the pool, South-West Conference and state standout Pomperaug of Southbury defeated the Nighthawks 99-81. The girls' basketball team, coming off wins over Lauralton Hall of Milford on December 10 and Nonnewaug three days later, is home for three more games before Christmas.
Cohesion and athleticism are strengths of the Newtown High School boys' basketball team, and Coach Tim Tallcouch is hopeful that those traits will help his team have some success as what stands to be a rigorous schedule unfolds this season. "Every night's going to be a challenge for us," Tallcouch said. The South-West Conference has plenty of tough teams, said the coach, reeling off the likes of Notre Dame-Fairfield, Joel Barlow of Redding, Weston, New Fairfield, New Milford, Stratford, and Bunnell of Stratford. "I think every night is a game. Somebody I forgot to mention is going to come back and beat me," he said light-heartedly. Likewise, Tallcouch believes his team will upset somebody along the way. "I think we'll surprise some people, but we're going to have some growing pains," said the coach, whose team lost five players from a year ago between graduates and players not returning.
Newtown High School's boys' swimming and diving team begins the campaign with several strong returnees in the lineup, but lots of positions open for rising competitors and newcomers. The Nighthawks lost seven key postseason point-getters, including Richard Huffman — who set three school records — to graduation. "We're a younger team this year," said Coach Zach Gauvin, adding that he's interested to see what his freshmen newcomers bring to the table.
Free agency, contract disputes, and player retirement may not be an issue for a defending champion high school team trying to maintain its winning ways, but graduation certainly is. And the Newtown High School hockey team, because of last year's high number of graduates — ten to be exact — is in rebuilding mode as the puck drops on the 2014-15 campaign. The Nighthawks, coming off their Division III state championship and runner-up in the South-West Conference/ Southern Connecticut Conference D-III finish a year ago, have an eye on the future with hopes of repeating success in the short term.
A win in the Class LL state championship certainly did a lot to ease the pain of narrowly missing out on a South-West Conference title last winter. But while the Nighthawks may be on top of things and be the hunted in the state, they are every bit as much hungry for success and the hunters in the conference. "We're absolutely not hiding from anybody right now, so that means everybody's going to come at us harder," Coach Chris Bray anticipates. "Everybody here has a good understanding of what they need to do."
It's time to select the winner of the Newtown Bee's Harmon Award For Sportsman of the Year — named in honor of former Newtown Bee Sports Editor Kim Harmon. The award will go to someone who has had a significant impact on Newtown sports within the last year. Selections may include volunteers and those who have dedicated countless hours to athletics in town.
Personnel dictates a team's style of play and, this year, Newtown High School's girls' basketball team returns to its familiar fast-paced, run-the-floor approach to the game. "I feel like this year we can get back to playing up-tempo, pressure basketball," said Coach Jeremy O'Connell, whose lineups throughout the years have leaned on overall speed and athleticism, along with strong defenses to create turnovers and push the flow of the game before playing a bit more of a half-court brand of basketball last year.
Cheering along the local sidelines at football games takes plenty of skill and an ability to focus and perform in front of a crowd. But doing so on the big stage, among the best cheer squads from around the country and with a national title on the line, is something else for a group of 13-year-olds. Members of the Newtown Youth Cheerleading D13 team managed to overcome their nerves and rise to the top. They jumped, tumbled, and danced to a title at the American Youth Cheer National Championship, in Lakeland, Fla., on December 13. Newtown was tops among a dozen teams representing nine regions that competed at Lakeland Center Arena, about an hour outside of Orlando.

As of June 29, 209 military personnel had been killed in the line of duty in Afghanistan. On Thursday, June 30, one of our own, laying down his life during combat in "Operation Enduring Freedom," brought the total casualties to 210. His name: Marine Cpl. Kyle R. Schneider, from Phoenix, New York.
When we say "one of our own," we're talking about Kyle as a member of the greater Syracuse community. But when we say "our own," we're also speaking of Kyle as a member of our extended Crouse family. His father, Rick Schneider, has been a CT Technician at the hospital for nearly twenty years, and his aunt, Kelly Schneider, is also a Crouse team member on 7 Memorial.
The entire Crouse family extends heartfelt condolences to Rick, his wife Lorie, son Kevin and all the members of his family and circle of friends and fellow Marines.
Today, Friday, July 8, at noon, a moment of silence and reflection will be observed at Crouse Hospital in memory of Kyle and in honor of those who serve their country. We invite the Central New York community and beyond to join with us.
And as a further "visible" memorial of the sacrifice Kyle and his parents have made for our nation, the iconic Crouse Hospital clock tower will be illuminated this evening and throughout the weekend of his calling hours and funeral service, in red, white and blue.
Rest in peace, Cpl. Schneider.

Survey suggests iPod growth, iPhone interest
updated 05:10 pm EDT, Mon April 9, 2007
iPod, iPhone interest
A new survey of 500 teenagers' buying patterns and brand preferences suggests that Apple's iPod market share grew to 82 percent from 79 percent last fall, and that 84 percent of students surveyed had heard of the iPhone. The 13th bi-annual study conducted by research firm Piper Jaffray also revealed that 25 percent of participants said they would pay $500 for an iPhone, and that 89 percent of those students who legally purchase music online use iTunes -- down slightly from 91 percent last fall. "Apple's dominance in the portable media and online music markets is going largely unchecked," said Piper Jaffray senior analyst Gene Munster. "Also, iPhone awareness among students is high, and 25 percent show interest at the $500 price-point. We believe that the teen demographic is a critical component of long-term growth in both markets, and Apple is clearly leading the category." Piper Jaffray maintains its 'outperform' rating on Apple shares with a $124 price target.
iPhone conclusions
Students' awareness of Apple's iPhone -- which was revealed in January at the Macworld Expo in San Francisco -- is considered high, according to Munster, as is their willingness to purchase the device at its current price. Of students surveyed, 84 percent had heard of the iPhone and 25 percent would purchase the device for $500.
"Among high school students, it is clear that Apple is successfully carrying its brand from the media player market into the mobile phone space," the analyst said.
Online music
The percentage of students downloading music is still rising, but 64 percent of those surveyed are using free P2P music sharing networks, rather than paying for music legally. That number is down 8 percent from 72 percent last fall, and iTunes share remains very high in the online music store category at 89 percent.
Survey details
Asking students whether they own an MP3 player, 82 percent replied that they owned some variation of Apple's iPod. Conversely, 4 percent said they own a Sony player, while Dell, iRiver, and SanDisk players each accounted for 2 percent of players owned. Some 3 percent of students said they own a Creative player.
When asked whether they planned to purchase an MP3 player within the next year, 73 percent said they would purchase some form of iPod. Just 11 percent of students surveyed said they would purchase a Sony player.
Interestingly, the majority of students said they would pay between $200-$300 for an MP3 player, more than the 22 percent who would pay less than $100. 33 percent would pay between $100-$200, and just 10 percent were willing to pay higher than $300 for a portable player.
"Overall, Apple's dominance in the portable music player market remains largely unchecked, and Apple has captured the 'cool factor' among high school students," the analyst said. "We believe that Apple is poised to carry over its portable music player dominance into the mobile space with the iPhone."
Inspecting Spring 2007 teen survey results
"We expected to see high awareness of the iPhone among teens, given the incredible amount of buzz surrounding its launch. OUr survey indicated that 84 percent of the students surveyed had heard of the iPhone," said Munster. "But we have also expected the iPhone's high price point ($499 for 4GB and $599 for 8GB) to result in less price-sensitive early adopters setting a 'gotta-have-it' trend for the iPhone."
Munster is modeling for Apple to sell 660,000 iPhones in fiscal year 2007 and 4 million iPhones in fiscal year 2008, assuming that Apple launches the device on schedule in June. The analyst also expects increasingly widespread adoption of the iPhone in more price-sensitive markets after the price gradually drops.
"Our survey indicated that 25 percent of high school students said they would buy an iPhone for $500. Even if 20 percent of those students (or 5 percent overall) actually enter the market at $500, our estimate may prove to be conservative," Munster said. "Regardless, this data point is positive for Apple, as an indication of both iPhone awareness and the product's addressable market."
Online music distribution, iTunes downloads
Teens said they acquire 83 percent of their music via online download, but the percentage of music downloaded legally from online music stores -- 36 percent -- is at its highest point since the research firm began studying those numbers in the spring of 2005. Munster concludes that legally purchased music has its largest share of the online downloads category since that time, and of those online music stores Apple's iTunes share remains at 89 percent while Napster holds a distant second at 3 percent.
The analyst believes Apple has maintained its strong lead due to the iPod+iTunes user experience, as well as the fact that the iTunes Store continues to add new forms of media -- such as full-length movies.
"While Apple is dominating the online music space the category as a whole remains under penetrated, as 37 percent of music purchased by teens is still purchased in a physical format," the analyst noted.
Piper Jaffray conducted its survey over the last several weeks, asking around 500 high school students about interest and buying patterns in portable digital audio and online music. The firm visited 11 high school across the country, with the average age of those surveyed amounting to 16.6 years old. Some 58 percent of students surveyed were female, while 42 percent were male, according to the research firm. [corrected]

Returning to Candlewood with a Smile
October 30, 2015
My job in the military requires me to travel every month to Tidewater and Northern Virginia. Everytime I return back to the Tidewater area the most enjoyable aspect of the trip is returning to Candlewood In Suites. From the time I make reservations with Tiffany, to checking in with Drew and Ron, to excellent room cleaning service from Nichole. My stay was an absolutly enjoyable, peaceful and pleasent experience.
Thank you for making my stay a home away from home.

Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies
From EatingWell: February/March 2005
Thumbprint cookies are an old-fashioned treat, a little cookie well holding a dot of jam. Here, they're reinterpreted with walnut oil and whole-wheat pastry flour for today's healthier eating standards - and, of course, with chocolate, simply for the taste.
Makes: About 36 cookies
Active Time:
Total Time:
Nutrition Profile
Diabetes appropriate | Low carbohydrate |View Our Nutrition Guidelines »
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup toasted walnut pieces, (see Tip)
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1/4 cup walnut oil, or canola oil
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 5 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped, or chocolate chips, melted (see Cooking Tip)
- 6 tablespoons apricot jam, (see Enhancements, below)
- Position rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Whisk all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl until well combined. Grind walnuts in a food processor until they resemble coarse meal.
- Beat butter, oil, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until almost creamy"the mixture may still be a little grainy. Beat in egg and vanilla; scrape down the sides and beat in melted chocolate and the ground nuts. Stir in the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon until just incorporated.
- Roll 1 tablespoon dough into a ball, place on the prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly until it looks like a deflated basketball. Continue with the remaining dough, spacing the cookies 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies for 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and gently press your thumb or the end of a wooden spoon in the center of each cookie. Place 1/2 teaspoon jam in each indentation. Bake until the jam is melted and the cookie is set but still a little soft, 8 to 10 minutes more. Cool on the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Let the pan cool for a few minutes before baking another batch. Enhancements: Use any flavor jam you want, just don't use preserves (the pieces of fruit may be too large) or jelly (it will melt too quickly and run).
Tips & Notes
- Tip: To toast chopped walnuts: Heat a small dry skillet over medium-low heat. Add nuts and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Cooking Tip: To melt chocolate:
- 1. Bring 1 inch of water to a simmer in a double boiler set over medium-high heat, then place chocolate in the top pan. (Alternatively, to improvise a double boiler, place chocolate in a heat-safe mixing bowl that fits snugly over a pan with 1 inch of simmering water.) Stir until half the chocolate has melted. Remove the bowl and continue stirring until the chocolate has fully melted. Cool for 5 minutes at room temperature.
- 2. Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on High for 1 minute. Stir well, then continue microwaving in 30-second increments on High until two-thirds of the chocolate has melted, stirring well after each heating. Remove the bowl and continue stirring until all the chocolate has melted. Cool for 5 minutes at room temperature.

Today would have been the Day #6 at the gym in the last week except my energy just disappeared after I got off work! My work is a very active job, but I felt GREAT until I clocked off and sat down. Lethargic, sapped, and slightly light headed. A sign that I needed a day off (last day off from the gym was Saturday), or nutrient lacking? I ate yogurt, chicken with some rice, Peanut butter oats and honey bar and drank lots of water throughout the day. Not as well rounded as I would have liked, but it was busy and I didn't take the time to plan my meals. I still feel like I just got trampled and it's been hours! The ache from muscles worked has been replaced by sluggish muscles! I've never been this out of shape in my life so I haven't ever experienced this. I'm just hoping it's not a sickness, like the flu, haha! Help!
Sudden loss of energy
Comments (5)
Are you just starting to workout? If so, you might be doing too much too soon. or maybe you weren't eating enough calories earlier in the week. Keep eating protein rich foods like the peanut butter and chicken you had and combine it with some veggies and fruit. Drink ice cold water as much as possible. You will get your energy back.
You can also try a multi-vitamin if you think your diet is lacking something. Try using fitday.com to track your food for a week and see if it tells you that you are lacking a nutrient. If your body is lacking anything the natural response is too make you feel hungary so you eat it or make you feel tired.

I might be pushing too much. It's been nearly a year since I last went to the gym! Longer since I went regularly! I took some multivitamins last night, along with extra iron and biotin. It was just so unexpected, it freaked me out a little! I feel a little better today. My back is bothering me a little and now my inner ear is all clogged up, but that's just allergies. I will check out that site though, it's good information to have! Thanks! :D
Usually that means I'm about to get sick or about to start my period.

Could also be low Vit B. Those are signs of low B and or maybe iron too.

The Magazine
The State of the Democrats
Oct 21, 2002, Vol. 8, No. 06 • By DAVID TELL, FOR THE EDITORS
And it is reassuring, we further suppose, that Kennedy's point of view seems not very widely held. Neither he nor any other senator so much as bothered to introduce an alternative measure that would have blocked the president from conducting a renewed assault in the Persian Gulf. Over in the House, 70 Democrats, a third of their party's caucus, did vote "aye" to such a proposal: a substitute amendment expressing support for an exclusively "diplomatic" solution. But nearly twice that many House Democrats directly rejected this diplomacy option. And an even larger number of them cast approving votes for the "Spratt amendment," which blessed near-term U.S. military participation in a renewed U.N. disarmament campaign--and held open the possibility of unilateral American force should such a campaign be thwarted or fail to materialize.
Here things get tricky, though. The Spratt amendment, like the "Multilateral Use of Force Authorization Act" introduced by Michigan Democrat Carl Levin in the Senate, was a dodge--cowardice all over again. Both measures encouraged the U.N. to authorize and sponsor an armed, forceful effort against Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, thereby implying that such an effort is urgently required. At the same time, neither proposal would have authorized unilateral American action, except in the event an "imminent" Iraqi threat should arise, presumably against the continental United States. Which implies no special urgency whatsoever. Democratic votes for the Spratt and Levin amendments, in other words, were Democratic votes for nothing in particular. That a majority of House Democrats came out this way (and voted against the relatively unrestricted use-of-force resolution that eventually passed) is no surprise. But it's a serious disappointment, just the same.
We note, however, that a fair number of veteran House Democrats who 11 years ago voted "no" to the first President Bush's Persian Gulf War--some 15 in all, minority leader Dick Gephardt among them--have switched their votes to "aye." Gephardt, indeed, unambiguously calls his 1991 vote a "mistake." We note, as well, and are happy to applaud the fact, that sentiment like Gephardt's, though not so candidly acknowledged, seems almost commonplace in the Democratic Senate. A clear majority of Democratic senators refused to endorse Carl Levin's "Multilateral Use of Force Authorization Act," as it happens. An even larger majority of them--29 of 50, including 12 who'd voted "no" in 1991--wound up supporting the final bill.
On balance, we call this progress.
And yet. One congressional debate, and the split-decision vote that follows it, are hardly an adequate basis on which to cast aside decades-old and well-justified doubts about the Democratic party as a dependable partner in the formulation of grown-up national security policy. None are so perfectly reptilian as Saddam Hussein, but the global landscape remains strewn with copperhead-snake regimes and other such outlaws--and still it is rare to find a congressional Democrat, like Sen. Zell Miller, who unhesitatingly and enthusiastically picks up a hoe to kill them. Even where Saddam is concerned, the Democratic party's backbone will be tested many times over the next few months. Sometime soon, the U.N. Security Council will speak its piece on Iraq, or fail to, and the United States will have to decide how best to proceed. If and when it comes to war, there will be casualties--and an Arab-world reaction, and other, unforeseeable but surely comparable challenges--and the United States will have to persevere. Meantime, here at home, no doubt the Democratic party will be sorely, constantly tempted to turn its attention to friendlier and more familiar issues than war and peace.
It would be best if they didn't. The country deserves, and at the moment very much needs, to have both major parties, not just the Republican one, engaged full-time--and unflinchingly--in a life-or-death international snake hunt.
--David Tell, for the Editors

Dean Blunt
"Need 2 Let U Go" / "And I'll Show You Heaven If U Let Me"
In true Dean Blunt fashion, "And I'll Show You Heaven If U Let Me" has already been taken down and replaced with a weird little number called "Need 2 Let U Go," which features fragmented piano, floundering trumpet, and out-of-tune vocals. Listen here while you can:
Fresh off the reissue announcement of The Narcissist II, an excellent mixtape (TMT Review) released earlier this year by Dean Blunt (Hype Williams, Dean Blunt and Inga Copeland), comes a new track that's a bit less ominous, less freaky than other Blunt-related songs. But "And I'll Show You Heaven If U Let Me" is still decidedly fucked: the sweet, twinkling melody floating high above passively battles with a scuzzy guitar riff that barely knows what to do with itself with each iteration. The drums, meanwhile, sound like someone doing a soundcheck, as a quiet keyboard hums in the background, barely heard but certainly felt. Like the best of Blunt's music, it's hazy, aggressively sloppy, and ends before you know it.
The remixed/remastered version of The Narcissist II is out November 26 on Hippos In Tanks/World Music. There's no release date set for its follow up, The Narcissist III, so you might as well re-spin Dean Blunt and Inga Copeland's Black Is Beautiful (TMT Review) before you finalize that geeky year-end list of yours.

Halloween H20 [mixtape]
Just in time for Halloween, Lil B The Based God has released a positively sp00ky mixtape with lots of sp00ky tracks for you to listen to while you're on your way to the sp00ky costume party that will probably be cancelled because there's a hurricane eating half the country right now. But there's lots of talk of Based candy. And Based bitches. There's even a track on here called "Merry Xmas," so you can get excited for Christmas while you get sp00ky. At some point, he also yells out "Happy New Year's!," so there you have it: the best three holidays all on one mixtape. Download it here and stream below:

High aura'd
"River Runs Like Jewels"
"Sanguine," as in Sanguine Futures, the title of High aura'd's sublime new album on Bathetic Records, means "optimistic." I think that's nice. Especially as I'm watching the sangria-soaked video for "River Runs Like Jewels" off the album, the title just works perfectly. Omar Mashaal's visuals offer a glimpse of the future here in the old lady and her crimson bejeweled dress, and it shouldn't be the prettiest picture; wrinkled skin, gnarled knuckles, hands shaking in arthritic pain. But those guitars gently moan, soothing like aloe on an emotional burn, and the camera's soft focus blurs the imagery into something serene, warm, and comforting. Bah, I'm trying too hard, and this video is too gorgeous, so I'll quit while I'm behind and let this one give your brain the rubdown it so desperately needs on a Monday.

Andy Stott
"Numb," the lead off track of Andy Stott's new album Luxury Problems, takes all of those ghostly vocal samples from artists like Burial or Kid Smpl, removes nearly everything that resembles drums, and highlights why those artists are praised for soundtracking rainy, midnight cityscapes. However, "Numb" seems to also remind us of all the creepy stuff that happens in those broken city streets after everyone has fallen asleep. It's like being followed by a whispering presence that you can't see while your heart begins to race. Perhaps it's appropriate that Luxury Problems is being released so close to Halloween.
You've probably already heard "Numb" by now, but re-listen to it below, and look for Luxury Problems this week from Modern Love.

Dead Man's Party
"Waiting for an invitation to arrive,
Going to a party where no one's still alive"
– Danny Elfman, "Dead Man's Party"
"This is the greatest song in the history of mankind,"
– My dad when he first introduced me to Oingo Boingo's "Dead Man's Party"
For some reason, whenever I think about Halloween, I think about Oingo Boingo. Maybe it's because Danny Elfman (frontman of Oingo Boingo) created the score to Nightmare Before Christmas (and just about every Burton film), which is the ultimate Halloween soundtrack. Or maybe it's because Oingo Boingo's arguably most famous cut, "Dead Man's Party," is all about death and skeletons and stuff, and can sometimes even be heard on classic rock stations around the haunted holiday. Either way, it doesn't really matter. What also doesn't matter is that I love Oingo Boingo. When I was in sixth grade or so, my dad got me a best-of Oingo Boingo CD, which joined Astrolounge to begin my beloved collection of recorded music. While Boingo may serve as the gateway to an embarrassingly serious ska phase back in eighth grade, they were one of the first bands to make me listen to music meticulously; I would listen to Only A Lad, Dead Man's Party, and Good For Your Soul repeatedly, challenging myself to listen to single instruments throughout the entire song. Oingo Boingo's extensive instrumentation and top-notch musicianship blew my little preteen mind. Now I write about obscure electronic music and Oingo Boingo kinda sounds annoying as fuck, but I just wanted to express my appreciation for Danny Elfman and his weirdo big-band in honor of the upcoming holiday.
Don't worry, there is no Boingo in the mix. In fact, the mix isn't even all that Halloween-y sounding, until I added some sounds from Ultimate Scary Songs and Sounds for your Halloween Bash!!! *maniacal laughter* That's right! You better watch your back; I think I hear footsteps. *spooky ghost noises*

Second Species
Under his moniker Prayer, Joe Houpert has released the follow-up to First Species, which was released just last May — and guess what? It's called Second Species. Out on the stellar Constellation Tatsu label, Second Species is evolved and still evolving. Here, Prayer loops phrases over and over, slightly modifying them here and there and letting the natural effects of decay and echo slowly manipulate the music — like evolution… or God. Let us pray and listen to the moving electronic liturgy from the higher power that is Prayer.

Before the coal arrives at the plants to reduce the NG demand, how high can this little rally last? I'll start accumulating some HND next week, and keep adding on weakness.

Hotel Indigo Shanghai on the Bund
From red rickshaws in the lobby to murals of Yuyuan Gardens in its rooms, the big-brand boutique Hotel Indigo Shanghai on the Bund hits all the right local design notes. But first be prepared for your eyes to be dragged to the jaw-dropping views of the Bund, Huangpu River and Pudong skyline. For maximum mega-wattage head up to the acclaimed Char restaurant and sexy rooftop bar.

Also need to know:
Smoking rooms (30) are available on the eighth, ninth and 19th floors.Gym junkies will love that their programmes don't need to be disrupted. FIT is a state-of-the-art gym where you can hit the treadmill while gawping at Pudong across the river. Private tai chi and yoga classes are available on request.
Packing tips:
Your interest in contemporary Chinese art may be piqued by the installations in the communal areas, so a book such as Richard Vine's New China New Art might make good plane reading. An electronic translator may also help you get around.
Dress code:
Got a booking at Char? Glam it up, baby. You're in a country where label love is rife. To paraphrase St Augustine, when in Shanghai…
Mr and Mrs Smith reviews
Whether you're rabidly amorous (moi) or reluctantly romantic (Mr Smith), Hotel Indigo Shanghai on the Bund simmers with sensual opportunity. For starters, on our first night at the bar, Mr Smith remarks that my mouth reminds him of 'a blooming opium poppy'. Haute heavens, am I wearing a new Chanel shade? Ah, my lips may be nude but the hue in the room is flush scarlet. Score one for Indigo's lighting design.
Hitting the scene in 2011, Hotel Indigo boasts an enviable location in this vivid metropolis of 23 million – on the scenic Huangpu River, where we watch Willy Wonka-worthy leisure crui

Dining information
The 29th-floor Char has caused quite a stir with Shanghai scenesters. This chic space with exposed brick walls is again dominated by those straight-out-of-Blade Runner views. Australian chef Julie Donohoe, who was previously at Sydney's Billy Kwong, has created a menu of chargrilled seafood and Australian steaks, as well as updated classics – a Caesar salad with pancetta and crispy quail eggs, for example. Downstairs on the sixth floor is the casual, all-day café Quay. The breakfast served here has an excellent selection of both eastern and western dishes, including a great egg station.
Top table:
It's all about the view, so ensure you snare a window seat.
Last orders:
Breakfast in Quay is served between 6.30am and 10.30am, although it's open right through until 11pm. Dinner at Char is served till then as well.
Room service:
Available 24 hours with a wide range of dishes, from burgers to noodles and grilled fish.
Hotel bar:
Part of sophisticated Char, the bar has a sweeping terrace. For those who verge on the vertiginous, there's an indoor lounge where some of the city's best DJs ply their trade on the weekend. The bar staff can whip up a magical martini or stunning sangria, plus there's an extensive list of wines from around the world.

Automakers ended 2011 with a bang in December as most major automakers reported sales increases for the month, putting the industry on track for a 10% sales increase.
Auto executives said consumers once again flooded showrooms towards the end of the month, especially after the Christmas, giving the industry confidence that a broader industry recovery will continue well into 2012.
"It was really after the 25th of December when we really saw a pretty strong acceleration and ended the year on what really was a high note," said Erich Merkle, Ford U.S. sales analyst. ...
