7.30 Report Letters - Guestbook Entries
|Australian Politics - what a mess!
|Visit Time
|NSW -Barry O'Farrell still has not delivered ANYTHING he promised leading up to the election - hospitals are no better, health and mental health still dismal, NorthWest Rail link just all talk. AND now in Government showing all the recognisable and despicable traits of Liberals - arrogance, broken promises (always blamed on the previous governement of course) but as usual when campaigning "they have it all worked out and KNOW they can FIX all these problems).
Thus NO SURPRISE that all the current state government has done is blame the previous government for ALL they NOW HAVE TO TAKE AWAY. Doing deals with Shooters Party or anyone else they can to get through policies that TAKE AWAY from the NSW People e.g. wage cuts or freezes, anti unionism and the latest = OH NO WE CAN'T HAVE A CARBON TAX but WE CAN CONSIDER increasing the GST - let's face it the PEOPLE have accepted this now so they won't see it as a problem like WE the LIBERALS have MADE THEM SEE that a CARBON TAX will "hurt" them.
He and his government will last NO MORE than 2 terms would be less if the NSW Labor Party was worth even looking at. NSW people will NEVER FORGIVE Christina Kenneally for selling off the states' electricity.
If anyone thinks Barry O'Farrell has broken every promise he ever made when campaigning and dont like what they now have - THIS AND MUCH WORSE is what you will get with TONY ABBOTT.
Liberals ALWAYS - contract everything out, sell assets and TAKE from the PEOPLE so that they end up with a HUGE store of money that LOOKS GOOD but in fact has done NOTHING to plan for a future for the country in infrastructure, manufacturing or any other area that is now in bad shape and at the BOTTOM OF LIST are the REAL PEOPLE at the top of the list are CORPORATIONS AND BUSINESS - keep their pockets full and take all you can from the lower levels.
I have never been a member of a Union and at times in the past their attitudes have more than annoyed me but TODAY we live in a different world - i.e. press as hard as you can DOWN on the WORKERS and GIVE TO THE TOP.
It was pure coincidence but recently I have been reading a number of novels based in Ireland and the UK in the 1800's. This period was when the people at the bottom and middle - had virtually NOTHING - starving and barely able to feed their children. Those at the top level had all the money and the bosses took and took in labor from the workers - NO SAFETY concerns AT ALL for workers in mines or cotton mills working under HORRENDOUS conditions for virtually NOTHING - children very young working LONG HOURS in cotton mills being "decapitated" sliding under the cotton looms to extract the dust - it goes on and on. Children stolen off the streets and forced into prostitution and accepted as a way of life as no LAW in place to stop it.
It was in the above period that Unions began amongst the workers - a brave, long hard struggle for "meagre" improvements to safety and wages. For all those ANTI UNIONISTS this was hard fought for by these people in the 1800's and if they had not done it we would still have children being decapitated in cotton mills and the worker unable to put food on the table.
I find it quite a joke in many ways that the TOP MAN at Qantas is IRISH and treating the Unions as the "bad guys" when the IRISH fought so hard for the RIGHTS of the worker in the 1800's.
Interestingly enough I look at the world we live in now MANY YEARS DOWN the track and this is what we have: Those at the top "Corporations, Banks, Politicians, Business" bemoaning they don't have enough profit but in reality are hauling in the coppers. At the bottom and middle we STILL HAVE the PEOPLE in many cases with NO HOME, CAN'T AFFORD the RENT, FOOD on the table, UTILITY costs, HEALTH and DENTAL costs basically working VERY LONG hours unable to meet all the latter costs OR with NO JOB at all. We still have children being forced into prostitution. Governments playing Polititcal Games at the expense of the PEOPLE etc. selling off assets, making the PEOPLE PAY whilst filling their OWN POCKETS.
IT STRUCK ME that in reality when I look at the world today, though very different, WE HAVE NOT COME very much further than the 1800's - the food chain and it's ranking is STILL THE SAME - all the same problems PLUS MORE are in existence.

|Lying by Murdochracy & Lobbyocracy Australia's ABC
|Visit Time
|The following letter has been sent to Australian MPs and media about ABC lying.
Dear etc,
The taxpayer-funded ABC has an appalling record of lying by omission and commission that can be quantitated by Search results from the entire ABC site for various phrases using the ABC search engine (results in parentheses below).
ABC lying by commission is illustrated by mad monk (119) in defamatory reference to Coalition Opposition Leader Tony Abbott. Further, the ABC falsely attributes climate change is crap (34) to Mr Abbott who had merely said the argument is absolute crap and, with exemplary scientific propriety exhibited neither by his detractors nor the ABC, now evidently believes, through being better informed, that climate change is real and man-made.
The ABC has an appalling record of lying by omission about massive, Elephant in the Room realities from the WW2 Bengali Holocaust (1) to the Iraqi Holocaust (0) and the Afghan Holocaust (0). The ABC has utterly ignored the key July 2011 Treasury Report Strong Growth, Low Pollution (0) that shows that Australias domestic greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution under Labors Carbon Price will increase from 578 million (1) tonnes CO2-e in 2010 to 621 million (1) in 2020 i.e. no clean energy future (284) because pro-coal, pro-gas Labor refuses to tackle climate change (889).
Yours sincerely,

|The quality of ministerial interaction with the media under Howard's leadership became stultified even Costello's treasurery comments were carefully crafted. But under Abbott, for a coalition spokesperson to be described as stultified seems progressive. As journalists is such disingenuous sloganising disturbing? So far no strategies have been able to get answers? I hope it is a work in progress and wish you success.
|ALP Leadership

|There is no doubt that Kevin Rudd is itching to return to the leadership, but if a spill was organised there is a good chance that there would be more than two contenders.
Of course there would be Bill Shorten, possibly Stephen Smith, maybe Anthony Albenese or Tanya Plibersek, Simon Creen might try a comeback, but the one to watch is Craig Emerson.
He has been presenting himself in the last few months as the spokesman on everything Labor, - similar to the way Kevin Rudd did pre 2007 - and he has been working on toning down his abrasive personality and appearing more statesman like.

|harsher penalty's for child sex offenders
|Visit Time
|To whom it may concern,
I am writting in regards to the current pentalty's on child sex offenders. Things seriously need to change. I have been doing alot of research on this and I find it disgusting that someone that bash's a animal can be held in remand, but a man that has been sexually abusing my now 13 yr old daughter for 4 years is able to be released on bail, after admitting in a poilce interveiw all that he done to my daughter, after finding photo's and video evidence he is released to his parents residence....at a beach. I have read about alot of other case's including my daughter's attacker's brother., he molested 2 girls and all the jail time he got was 3yrs...he served half of that. The most i have ever seen someone convicted of these crimes is 5 1/2 years...this is a joke. When this happens to a child it doesnt go away after a couple of years, it stays with them for the rest of their lives. While the offender gets to serve their time in prison then come out with a new chance in life..a chance to take away another childs innocence, THEY get given another chance. The child however is ridden with this for the rest of their lives. During the day, its the anger, being scared, feeling dirty, the questions of why this is happening, will he hurt my family for telling, the confussion it cause's later in life with relationships of the oppiste sex, the constant pain, agony, image's and memories of the events. At night it is the nightmare's, sleepless and restless nights, tossing and turning all night long.
You see for the child it will never be over. I am a happily married mother of 8 and to this day I myself still suffer from the abuse that i encounted as a child, but unlike my daughter i was not brave enough to come forward. So I want my daughter to know that I am doing everything in my power to make sure that her and every other child that is a victom of child sex abuse will have the justice that they deserve. Don't you think they deserve the right to feel that they are the ones that are protected for a change, not the person that hurt them. If you cannot help me with this i would appreciate it if you could pass it on to someone that can. I really do beleive that these laws and penelty's need to be addressed and changed. We owe it to our children
|Balance in political "debate"
|Visit Time
|Is it possible that the 7.30 Report could make mention of the Editorial in the New York Times today (15/10)?
And also the article headed "Rabbit-Hole economics" in the same publication.
THIS is the debate we should be having in Australia, not "boat people".
But, unfortunately, with only Murdoch and Fairfax, and an ABC for some reason swinging from the coat tails of those organisations, this debate - which includes an analysis of the failures of the Conservative Government in the UK and the failure of the Republican Party and its blocking tactics in the USA - is just not being had in Australia.
Because the summary is that the dogma of those political parties - and the Liberal Party/National Party Coalition here in Australia - will drive us to recession and worse.
Perhaps we need the movement now arising in the USA (replicating protests in other developed economies and as an anecdote to the TEA Party - which was always going to happen) to turn the tide of this destructive Conservative/TEA Party austerity dogma, a dogma which sees the economy of the UK flat lining, public revenue falling and deficits rapidly increasing - plus the highest un-employment figure in 15 years and social unrest on the streets.
Do we want that here?
Any chance the ABC may actually rise from the ashes and start the debate we HAVE TO HAVE?

Related to the recent news of the closing of ward 4D at the Launceston General Hospital.
To Whom it may concern:
I have been involved in the ward 4D activities since 2006 together with Consultants physicians, the nurses and allied health group we developed a weekly multidisciplinary ward base case conference. We discussed every patient in the ward in a weekly case presentation. We described a reduction in the length of stay for inpatient in ward 4D with this activity. This later was presented in the 2008 World Conference of Internal Medicine and we have a conference award related to multidisciplinary work and medical education.
The group of ward 4D nurses were always happy to innovate and participate in education and improving patient care. In this ward we introduced the early warning score EWS as a trial for the LGH in 2007. We were almost pioneers in Australia with this activity. The EWS for recognition of the deteriorating patient was later introduce to all the medical and surgical wards. The group of nurses in 4D was the enthusiastic team to help the LGH to reach this standard been the first ward where the EWS started. The 2010 Report to the Launceston General Hospital about its Accreditation Status from the Australian Council of Healthcare Standards Evaluation and Quality Improvement commended the LGH early warning score for the deteriorating patient.
This ward has average 900 to 1000 admissions per year. The close of such a ward in the current days when emergency department at LGH has 100 % occupancy with patients waiting to be admitted will put on risk patient safe, there is a big number of patient who will have no bed available, this will increase morbidity and mortality. I strongly suggest to the LGH authorities to do not go ahead with the closing of ward 4D.

|Climate change/refugees
|Visit Time
|I believe in climate change, I believe humans are responsible for the acceleration in climate change but I dont like liars. Our PM doesnt deserve the position nor would anyone else from any party that lies to the people in order to gain power.
But more on the carbon tax. Being on the land we keep hearing of benefits that might come with a carbon tax, in my view thats largely rubbish and spin. Unlike the cities a large proportion of people on the land that produce your food dont have mains water so think of this;
1. Every time we flush the toilet a pump runs = carbon tax;
2. Every time we wash our hands a pump runs = carbon tax;
3. Every time we wash our clothes a pump runs = carbon tax;
4. Every time stock drinking troughs fill a pump runs = carbon tax;
5. Every time we prepare a meal a pump runs = carbon tax;
6. Every time we water a crop a pump runs = carbon tax;
7. Every time we have to travel, larger distances, off the farm for:
a. medical treatment;
b. school;
c. entertainment;
d. groceries and
e. lifes necessities
We will get hit with a carbon tax. No adequate or regular public transport out here.
And what is a carbon tax in Australia, that produces only a minor percentage of the worlds carbon pollution, going to achieve? Apart from increase our cost of living absolutely nothing. Oh it will probably send jobs offshore, from the governments own spin it will certainly send billions of your money off shore to prop up foreigners. But will it make a discernable difference to the worlds climate Everyone knows the answer a big fat no. It will give economists and bankers like Turnbull more cash to play with so they of course like the idea.
The only thing any of these politicians have got right is our planets in trouble. World fisheries in decline, forests and biodiversity are being destroyed at an alarming rate. But what do the bleeding hearts and the greens want to do, increase our intake of refugees and increase Australias population. Gee wont that increase carbon pollution and put more pressure on our natural resources like our fisheries and farmland? You bet it will.
If any of these pro carbon tax junkies were serious they would be pushing governments to stabilise and then lower our planets population to sustainable levels. We cant keep feeding an overpopulated world because it will destroy our planet.
So why dont our politicians talk about this? Is it because big business always wants growth? Probably. And I think some of our current politicians see themselves as candidates for some international award to massage their egos. They are certainly putting other countries and the welfare of their populations before ours. They are a joke.

MidPoint Music Festival 2014 kicks off this Thursday and we've been showcasing some of the Critic's Picks from our official MidPoint guide (which will be available throughout the fest). While most of attendees are likely very familiar with some of the bigger headlining acts, these suggestions mostly focus on some of the lesser known gems. (If you're in doubt, any act with "Cincinnati" next to their name is a slam dunk.)
Here are some recommendations for this Saturday. Click here to check out the entire official guide, which has write up on all 150 or so MPMF acts. Tickets are still available here.
12:15 a.m. @ Arnold's
Baskery (Stockholm, Sweden)
Alt Roots/Country/Americana
Sweden's Baskery formed in 2007, but the members didn't have to go far to find each other. The group consists of sisters Greta, Stella and Sunniva Bondesson, who dub their unique spin on Roots/Country music everything from "Nordicana" to "Banjo-Punk." But descriptions are especially difficult when it comes to Baskery; the trio's third album, this year's Little Wild Life, finds the sisters spinning a wide range of American Roots music styles into their own distinctive, wildly diverse sound. One second the group is showcasing its vocal harmony prowess a capella on the haunting "Northern Girl," the next its strutting swamp boogie a la Southern Culture on the Skids on "The NoNo." If you're tiring of Roots music that doesn't go off the same exact blueprints established a century ago, Baskery will show you just how far Americana can be taken.

7:15 p.m. @ Christian Moerlein Brewing Co. (Outdoor Stage)
Ancient Warfare (Lexington, Ky.)
Psych Folk/Rock
Ancient Warfare's dark and quiet intensity transcends the band's tough-chick exterior. The quartet designs a sonic atmosphere the same way Saul Bass once designed logos: with elegant simplicity and ferocious creativity. The psychedelic aspect to Ancient Warfare's presentation is more about texture than actual sound, as their languid, fuzzy melodies drift through their ethereal yet solidly constructed songs, like the heavy smoke in an opium den. The palpable weariness of Echo Wilcox's gloomy vocals and haunted guitar, the intractable pull of Rachael Yanarella's hypnotic violin, the subtle thunder of Reva Williams' bass and the exquisite filigrees provided by multi-instrumentalist Emily Hagihara swirl and combine to make Ancient Warfare's enveloping totality and assure that their imminent debut album, The Pale Horse, will be one of the fall's most anticipated releases.

Apache Dropout (Bloomington, Ind.)
Garage Pop
Like all good college towns, Bloomington, Ind., is forever dishing up awesome bands with fresh, new music. In the case of Apache Dropout, that "new" sound is perfectly and thankfully reminiscent of some of the best music of the past. Their newest album, Heavy Window, comes from Magnetic South, co-owned by band member Seth Mahern. The guys pressed 1,000 copies of Heavy Window, one of their largest printings yet. Fun fact: The first half of those records feature glowing eyes on the eerie-cool cover. It's the ultimate tell-tale sign of the drug-addled, paranoid Rock & Roll boogie on the inside.

11 p.m. @ The Drinkery
Xoe Wise (Chicago)
Singer/Songwriter/Electro Pop
At 19, Xoe Wise moved from her North Carolina home (the first song she wrote was for a sick goat on her family's farm) to Chicago and immediately became a fixture in the city's burgeoning scene. Wise's debut album, 2010's Echo, generated a pile of positive local press, while its follow-up, 2012's Archive of Illusions, earned her a sell-out crowd at Schuba's, a spot on WGN-TV and a feature in the Chicago Tribune. Wise's third EP, Breakfast, hit the Top 20 on iTunes' Singer/Songwriter chart and she's currently at work on her third full-length, irresistibly titled Racecar Orgasm. Wise plays solo acoustic or with a full Electro Pop crew, but either way she creates a dreamy and undeniable vibe.

11:15 p.m. @ Mainstay Rock Bar
The Tontons (Houston)
Big-haired Texas and its Rock & Roll-loving youngsters have eaten up and loved every second of their time with The Tontons. Now the band is out touring the nation and conquering ears and hearts across the globe. The group's sultry Rock is just good enough to make The Tontons Cincinnati's favorite band, too. "So Young," off 2011's Golden, feels like a modern, youthful, rockin' spin on elevator music or like Henry Mancini decided to start a female-led Rock band. Asli Omar's one-of-a-kind voice and perfect squeal makes each song on this year's Make Out King and Other Stories stand out.
YDIIYD: Blonde Redhead, wearing leather to Tiffany & Co. (DK)
8:45 p.m. @ Mainstay Rock Bar
The Nepotist (New York, N.Y.)
Good luck trying to find a one or two word descriptor for the music made by NYC trio The Nepotist. Actually, don't even try — the group's uniqueness and sonic diversity is what makes them so enjoyable to listen to. The Village Voice called them "Alt Soul," a term the band has embraced and works well enough given the soulful vocals and rewired Steve Cropper guitar riffs. But then you have a track like the recent single "Kids," which has bubbling banjo and harmonies befitting a Folk band. It's a delicious stew that is blissfully unpredictable. The trio (formed by brothers Chris and Hayden Frank) has only been together a couple of years but has already drawn loads of glowing press thanks to its pair of EPs and various singles released just this year alone. A full-length is due early next year.
YDIIYD: Grizzly Bear, Sufjan Stevens, Dr. Dog. (MB)
10:30 p.m. @ Memorial Hall
Saintseneca (Columbus, Ohio)
Folk Pop
When Saintseneca canceled an appearance at the Fashion Meets Music Festival in Columbus this July, the quintet made national headlines not for its music but for its social politics, because the members were against sex offender R. Kelly performing at the fest. Met with vicious protests, Kelly eventually pulled out (no pun intended) of the fest. This is one of many ways the folksy Appalachian Pop group has become famous this year, along with releasing the new record Dark Arc (produced by Bright Eyes member Mike Mogis), recording a NPR Tiny Desk Concert and gigging across the country. From grassroots house concerts in central Ohio to performing at national fests, it won't be long now before everyone knows their name and music.

9:45 p.m. @ MidPoint Midway Stage
Low Cut Connie (Brooklyn, N.Y.)
If you think Piano Rock is all Billy Joel and Elton John, sorry will be a much easier word for you after you've experienced the 88-key onslaught of Low Cut Connie. Featuring the manic piano fireworks of Adam Weiner and the ambidextrous drum/guitar magic of Dan Finnemore (and a full band's worth of mayhem on tour), Low Cut Connie entertains with a vengeance and accepts nothing less than total surrender. Their first two albums, 2011's Get Out the Lotion and 2012's Call Me Sylvia, are loaded with catchy numbers that feature a lot of humor but stop well short of being simple novelties and showcase the duo's disparate influences (Jerry Lee Lewis and Iggy Pop for Weiner; British Punk and Garage Rock for Finnemore). Low Cut Connie's latest triumph was a spectacular version of Harry Nilsson's "Jump Into the Fire" on the Nilsson tribute This is the Town earlier this year, and rumors of a third album continue to swirl. But right now, the play's the thing. See Low Cut Connie and marvel at the things a piano was never meant to do but should have been doing all along.
YDIIYD: Ben Folds dipped in speed and forced to play Replacements and Stooges songs in a seedy cabaret. (BB)
8 p.m. @ MOTR Pub
Wyatt Blair (Los Angeles)
Power Pop
Power Pop gets short shrift in any serious discussion of music because of its relative simplicity and perceived lack of gravity, but nothing could be further from the truth. Coming up with hooks and lyrics that get the job done in under three minutes and stick in the head like brain taffy may be among the most difficult musical tasks. Wyatt Blair doesn't seem to have any problem at all, and his latest album, the confectionary Banana Cream Dream, is solid evidence of his lo-fi Power Pop ambitions (he also works with Peach Kelli Pop and Mr. Elevator & the Brain Hotel). As Andy Partridge once noted so succinctly, this is Pop.
YDIIYD: Rick Springfield channeling T. Rex, produced by Tommy Keene. (BB)
10:45 p.m. @ Ballroom at the Taft Theatre
Earth (Seattle, Wash.)
Experimental/Post Rock
Much like the planet itself, the band Earth has been through a lot in the past 25 years. Guitarist Dylan Carson founded the primarily instrumental band in 1989, cribbing the name from one of Black Sabbath's early monikers. The band's 1993 debut, Earth 2, has long been considered the launching pad for what Carlson dubbed Ambient Metal, a feedback- and distortion-drenched drone that influenced a subsequent generation. In the mid-'90s, Carlson shelved the band to deal with heroin addiction; it would be nearly a decade before the release of 2005's Hex; or Printing in the Infernal Method, which retained a Doom Metal structure but incorporated Country and Blues motifs and was also heavily influenced by Cormac McCarthy's novel, Blood Meridian. Earth's next albums, Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light I and II, were shaped by Carlson's love of Pentangle and Fairport Convention, while the just released Primitive and Deadly finds Carlson moving in yet another new and different direction, incorporating straight Rock and even Pop elements into his long droning jams. With 16 lineup changes in a quarter century, it's not unusual that Earth would shift identities, but even if the personnel had been stable throughout, Carlson would have retooled the band's sound in any event and made a new, glorious noise to confront the world.

On their most recent tour, excellent Northern Kentucky Indie Rock band The Yugos stopped by Toledo, Ohio's SixtyTen Recording Studio to record its latest single, "Follow You," as part of the facility's "SixtyTen Sessions" video series.
The studio version of the single, released earlier this summer, can be streamed/downloaded here.
One week from the day, The Yugos will be opening up MidPoint Music Festival's Friday festivities. The band plays at 5 p.m. Friday on the MidPoint Midway stage, right before another of the fest's most anticipated acts, Real Estate, performs. The Midway stage is free and open to the public (no tickets/passes required), thanks to stage sponsor P&G. It's also an all-ages show.

While commercial radio throws a bone here and there to homegrown musicians in Greater Cincinnati via specialty shows or segments, public radio station WNKU (89.7 FM; wnku.org) frequently adds songs from local artists to its regular-rotation playlist. And it has for years. The station also covers the local scene online with news and reviews, hosts local musicians for its live in-studio Studio 89 program and sponsors numerous musical events across the Tristate.
Local musicians are returning the favor by appearing on the new compilation album, Get Real Gone: Road Songs for Public Radio. In lieu of, say, a cliched tote bag gift, WNKU will be giving CDs of the album to those who donate during the station's fall fund drive. Listeners who become "sustaining members," paying just $8 a month, or those who donate $96 can score a disc of their very own.
The compilation features tracks by Roger Klug, Brian Lovely's Flying Underground, Eclipse Movement, Goose, The Newbees, Balderdash, Tim Goshorn, Kim Taylor, psychodots, Marcos, Graveblankets, Davis Kinney, Charlie Fletcher, Jeff Seeman and Bromwell-Diehl.
This Saturday and Sept. 27, several of the Get Real Gone participants will perform live at WNKU's studio. This Saturday, the lineup features Davis Kenney (10 a.m.), Balderdash (noon), The Newbees (1 p.m.), Roger Klug Power Trio (2 p.m.) and Graveblankets (3 p.m.). On Sept. 27, tune in to hear Kim Taylor (10 a.m.), Jeffrey Seeman (10:40 a.m.), Brian Lovely's Flying Underground (11:30 a.m.), Goose (1 p.m.), Charlie Fletcher (with The Bluebirds; 2:30 p.m.) and the Bromwell-Diehl Band (3:15 p.m.).
Tonight, Cincinnati mayor John Cranley will be giving his "State of the City" speech. For a snapshot of the state of the city's Hip Hop scene, take a look at the following recent music videos. Judging by these tracks and visuals, I'd say the state of Cincinnati Hip Hop is strong.
• Yesterday, the reigning Cincinnati Entertainment Awards champ for top Hip Hop act in the city, Buggs Tha Rocka, put out a clip for his track "Rapture," featuring local singer Phoenix Aphrodite. The song is from Buggs' forthcoming album, Scattered Thoughts of an American Poet, which is set for release Oct. 7 and features a great guest list, including Chuck Inglish from The Cool Kids, Tanya Morgan, Piakhan, MOOD and more.
Rapture feat. Phoenix Aphrodite from Buggs Tha Rocka on Vimeo.
• Middletown-based Hip Hop duo Those Guys just premiered their latest video, "King." Featuring J.Al and Jova, Those Guys top themselves with every new release and "King" is no exception. Their tagline/motto is "Good Hip-Hop Music" and after listening to "King," you'll find it hard to disagree. The track is from the twosome's recent release, Bueno, which you can download here.
• Last year, Northern Kentucky MC Trademark Aaron gained a lot of well deserved attention with his great track/video for "Faith," which was featured on Vevo's homepage and shared far and wide across the Hip Hop blogosphere. TA's latest video, for "Gold" from his recent Act Accordingly release (which we wrote about here), premiered on Vevo's homepage last week and features local drummer Aaron Roy as a special guest (on both the track and in the video).
• Another area Hip Hop MC, Sleep, also got some props from Vevo, which showcased his stellar clip/track "I Shot Lincoln" on its homepage last month. Sleep released the amazing concept album Branded: The Damon Winton Story this past spring (one of my favorite albums of 2014 so far; check out a review here) but the "I Shot Lincoln" video/track (featuring special guest Kue the Vandal) is separate from that project. Like Branded, the "I Shot Lincoln" visuals are a little disturbing and unusual but endlessly engaging.
This morning we received a message from former CIncinnatian/current Silver Spring, Md., resident Chris Richardson about some Cincinnati music-centric posts on his cool music blog, Zero to 180.
Richardson has a rich knowledge of music in general — his blog "celebrates studio songcraft and some of the lesser-known stories behind the songwriters, musicians, producers, engineers, arrangers, label owners and the like" — and he has good taste because he appears to be a big fan of pioneering local label King Records. (Here's a great post about an interesting connection between King and Jamaican Ska.)
Yesterday, the blog featured a fun post with a run down of songs from the past to the present that feature Cincinnati in the title. Tracks range from earlier cuts by Duke Ellington ("Cincinnati Daddy") and Johnny Burnette ("Cincinnati Fireball") through more recent material, like "Cincinnati Harmony" by The Dopamines, "Oh, Cincinnati" by The Seedy Seeds and "All Roads Lead to Cincinnati" by Jake Speed and the Freddies. Check the full list here.
There are several great tunes on the list, but this one is pretty terrifying:
Anything he missed?
The reigning Cincinnati Entertainment Award winners of the Artist of the Year honors, Alt Pop quartet Walk the Moon, are finally set to release their second album for RCA Records. The album's lead single, "Shut Up and Dance," was released Sept. 10 and last night the group performed the song on Late Night with Seth Meyers. (Watch below.)
The band's sophomore RCA full-length will be out before the year's end, according to the label.
Walk the Moon kicks off its coast-to-coast "Shut Up and Tour" tour of smaller clubs in Seattle on Oct. 8. The band will perform some of the new material on the tour, which does not include a hometown date. The group will be in Columbus, Ohio, on Oct. 21, but that show instantly sold out. The Columbus date is also the first of several shows that will feature like-minded Cincinnati Pop Rock trio Public as opening act.
The Crown Jewels of Jazz Festival returns Friday and Saturday with an adjusted format. While last year's fest was spread out across the Over-the-Rhine area, this year's Crown Jewels is more streamlined, with free events concentrated in OTR's Washington Park.
The fest kicks off Friday night with an 8 p.m. concert featuring unique and widely acclaimed Jazz singer Gregory Porter, as well as Cincinnati native Mandy Gaines (whose been busy performing throughout Europe and Asia).
Saturday at Washington Park, the fest kicks up again with Phil DeGreg, Baba Charles Miller and Kathy Wade (whose Learning Through Art, Inc. presents the Crown Jewels fest) performing and telling the story of Jazz (and other music) in a program called "Journeys: A Black Anthology of Music" at 4 p.m. At 5 p.m., "Piano Picnic in the Park" will showcase area pianists; DeGreg, Jim Connerly, Billy Larkin, Charles Ramsey III, Cheryl Renee, Steve Schmidt and Erwin Stuckey will each perform their two favorite Jazz numbers during the hour and a half performance.
Then it's time to dance! The fest closes out at 8 p.m. with "Dancing Under the Stars" at the park's bandstand, featuring music from the 18-piece Sound Body Jazz Orchestra and dancers/teachers from the Dare to Dance Ballroom Dance and Fitness Studio.
Given that it is presented by Learning Through Art, Inc., it is fitting that the Crown Jewels of Jazz fest will also include an educational program Saturday morning for high school musicians at the School for Creative and Performing Arts, just across the street from Washington Park's 12th Street entrance. The CJ2 Jazz Camp, which will feature clinics, classes and more with many of Cincinnati's top Jazz musicians and educators (including DeGreg, Stuckey, Jim Anderson, Marc Fields, Ted Karas, Mike Wade, Art Gore, Brent Gallaher and many others), begins at 8:30 a.m. There is a $35 fee per student.

500 Miles to Memphis' two most recent album releases are local classics that reside in two vastly different musical landscapes. Their 2007 album, Sunshine in a Shot Glass, offers 12 tracks of undiluted Country Punk. The album starts off with the band's hit "All My Friends are Crazy" and doesn't let up. The band's followup, 2011's We've Built Up to Nothing, took the Country Punk roots and drastically expanded on the concept. Influenced by The Beatles, the Cincinnati-based quintet added layer upon layer of instrumentation to craft an epic that radically expanded the groundwork laid in 2007.
Now, in 2014 the band is set to unleash Stand There and Bleed. With its latest release, 500 Miles to Memphis has pulled back and opted for a simpler, more straightforward group of songs. In doing so, the band has written its best album to date.
The band will host a listening party for the new album tonight (Thursday) at The Drinkery in Over-the-Rhine. The album will be played in its entirety at 9 p.m., then the group will play an acoustic set at 10 p.m. The event is free. (The official release date for Stand There and Bleed has yet to be announced.)
At its core, 500 Miles to Memphis has always been about vocalist/guitarist Ryan Malott telling the stories of his life. And with three years in between releases, Malott has plenty to talk about. Stand There and Bleed is Malott's most personal output so far. We see a glimpse of tour life in "Medication," the joys of marriage in "Takes Some Time" and the trials of addiction in "Easy Way Out." Malott may have traded the bottle for coffee and a Playstation controller, but the struggle is ongoing. In fact, the best tracks on the album are the ones that document Malott's missteps, but only because the album has so much hope, as well. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and Malott is steadily working his way towards it.
Joining Malott is bassist/vocalist Noah Sugarman, drummer Kevin Hogle, guitarist/vocalist Aaron Whalen and lap steel guitarist David Rhodes Brown. This all-star lineup compliments Malott's lyrics expertly. Gone are We Built Up to Nothing's more eccentric instrument choices; 500 stripped away the excess to more fully focus on what it had in house. The result is an album that's more consistent and true to 500's vision as a whole. Malott is influenced by Country and Punk Rock in equal measure and these influences come across stronger than ever on Bleed, with each member adding their own touch on the theme. Hogle's drumming is still some of the best in town; his musical ear enables him to mold his style to each and heighten the mood of all. Brown's steel playing on Stand There and Bleed keeps the more Punk-based tracks grounded in 500's roots and elevates the Country tracks to another level with effortlessly delivered solos. Finally, Whalen and Sugarman's guitar and bass inject energy throughout the record that reinforces Stand There and Bleed's straightforward, powerful delivery.
Malott's vocal delivery has been honed and refined on Stand There and Bleed, as well. Malott is an unabashed fan of Green Day and comparisons to Billie Joe Armstrong in songs like "Bethel, OH" and "Abilene" are undeniable. Malott has also continued to inject large amounts of emotion into his vocals. He's always been an expressive singer but the earnestness and pain in "You'll Get Around" and "Alone" show a departure from We've Built Up to Nothing's more polished vocals. Part of the recording process was breaking Malott of those good habits and getting him used to putting the feeling back into each take. What results is an album that's a little rougher around the edges and much more emotionally captivating for the listener.
500 Miles to Memphis has been pushing its music forward for years, constantly hitting the road to share its take on Country Punk. The band has been virtuous to the genre and also bent it to an almost unrecognizable state. With Stand There and Bleed, the quintet has met somewhere in the middle. The band has trimmed the fat, focused on what each (incredibly talented) member brings to the table and built a record that is its most focused and honest to date.
The band has traveled way more than 500 miles to reach where they are now, but with albums like Stand There and Bleed carrying them, they have plenty more ahead of them.
CINCINNATI, Ohio (August 6, 2014) — The long wait is over. Fans eager to see what artists are playing at
MidPoint Music Festival will now find a full schedule online at MPMF.com. Approximately 150 acts from seven
countries, 57 cities, and across the tri-state region will perform in Cincinnati USA, September 25–27, 2014.
For weeks now, festival organizers have been leaking some bands and details via social media, but venue
and showcase times have been kept under wraps until today. All-access passes are on sale at mpmf.com for
what is arguably the best music festival value in the nation.
"We've always offered a wide array of music styles, but this year's lineup has really developed into something
special and diverse," said Dan McCabe, creative director. "I think fans would be hard pressed to find another
festival that can give you a bigger bang for your buck."
Experience live music for three days
The 13th annual festival will present three exciting days of live music on 14 stages in the Over-the-Rhine and Downtown neighborhoods. While the event maintains its status as a primary showcase for emerging independent talent, there's no denying that this year's edition has raised the bar in booking established artists.
Cincinnati-music fans should take note that MidPoint welcomes one the most acclaimed local bands to break out in the 90s, The Afghan Whigs, who have stormed back better than ever with their first studio album in the past 16 years. MidPoint will be the only regional appearance for the band during their current world tour.
MidPoint will also be the tour kickoff for Chromeo, the "funk lordz" from Toronto, who are contending for the song of the summer with their single Jealous (I ain't with it). Washington Park should expect a dance party with the band's huge lightshow. Consequence of Sound called them a "must-see live show for any festival."
Additionally, the festival will host some well-established names from the indie-music world over the past decade, including OK Go, The Raveonettes, Panda Bear, Sun Kil Moon and Joseph Arthur. Bands like Real Estate, St. Paul & the Broken Bones and Jessica Lea Mayfield are newer, but no less widely known.
Longtime MidPoint fans might also notice a wider array of music styles. The lineup still features a healthy
amount of pop and indie rock, but organizers have listened to fans' suggestions, adding more:
Country Nikki Lane, Margo & the Price Tags, Bulletville;
Folk Lost in the Trees, Mutual Benefit, Woody Pines, Honey Locust, The Ridges;
R&B St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Magnolia Sons, The Almighty Get Down;
Blues Barrence Whitfield and the Savages, No Sinner, Left Lane Cruiser;
Heavy Metal Deafheaven, Liturgy; as well as more dance-oriented sounds like
Hip-hop/EDM Tycho, Dessa, WHY?, Body Language, and Parallels.
Experience new venues for young and old
Festival venues continue to evolve with great new, larger stages at Memorial Hall and Christian Moerlein Brewery. Younger fans will able see more showcases than ever with all-ages stages at the Contemporary Arts Center, Taft Ballroom, Memorial Hall, the MidPoint Midway, Christian Moerlein Outdoor Stage and Washington Park. In fact, children under 10 years of age can attend our Washington Park showcases for free with a paying adult. With afternoon music programmed for Washington Park on Saturday that could be just what the doctor ordered for parents who seldom get out to concerts.
Experience a unique festival atmosphere
Since 2001, MidPoint's goal has been to help you discover your new favorite band. Our embrace of today's
emerging artists is born of the same spirit employed by Cincinnati's celebrated musical pioneers, who always
reached for something new. This festival isn't as much about the flavor-of-the-month, but rather a
tastemaker's event where the bands performing will be what people are talking about next year.
For three days, fans can walk easily between venues dotted throughout beautiful, resurgent Over-the-Rhine.
This collection of young creative talent amongst an architecturally rich urban setting makes MidPoint a one-ofa-
kind experience. Unlike some festivals on a farm or a huge fielded area that could be anywhere, MidPoint
carries the heart of our city with intimate performances in smaller clubs and theaters. We think Cincinnati is
one of the best music cities in the world. With MidPoint showcasing bands and our city's center, we are
putting our best foot forward towards showing this is a great place to live, work and play.
Everything is on an upswing in Over-the-Rhine and Downtown Cincinnati and we expect the fans to not just
enjoy the music, but the wonderfully reimagined Washington Park, our handsome German-heritage buildings
and all of the newer hip restaurants, cafés and hi-tech companies that are making this one of the hottest
regions of the Midwest.
Experience food and fun on the Midway
We realize that not everyone can afford to attend a music festival, so we've tried to make a small part of it
accessible to everyone with our outdoor MidPoint Midway. All of the music programmed here is free, thanks
in part to the help of festival sponsor P&G.
The Midway takes up about two blocks on 12th Street in Over-the-Rhine. Fans at the Midway can find festival
essentials such as food and beer trucks, various vendors and the return of the artistic installations coordinated
with the help of ArtWorks. (More on that in the coming weeks.)
MidPoint's box office is also at the Midway, where fans will purchase All-Access, VIP, or single-day passes.
Bicycles encouraged
It is fairly easy to hop from show to show, but with 10 venues in Over-the-Rhine and four located downtown,
not every showcase will be a quick walk. But it is a quick bike ride. Festival organizers will continue to partner
with the City of Cincinnati to place a number of bike racks in strategic locations. We encourage everyone to
save their feet for the dance floor and bring their bike to get to those must-see bands faster.

Chromeo; Panda Bear; St. Paul & the Broken Bones; Sun Kil Moon; Lost in the Trees; and Nikki Lane

A strong cold front will push across eastern Carolina on Wednesday followed by drier and much cooler air. Temperatures both Tuesday and Wednesday will be near 70° then fall into the upper 50s for highs by Thursday and Friday. The most significant impact of the cooler air will be overnight lows. Inland communities will see temperatures in the upper 30s by Friday morning. It looks like the best chance for a frost and /or a light freeze will arrive Saturday morning as temperatures will be near freezing. Coastal communities will probably stay just warm enough to avoid most of the frost. The average date for the first freeze or heavy frost across inland eastern Carolina is around the second week of September so we're running about 10 days ahead of schedule.
Generally dry conditions can be expected to go along with the cooler temperatures. We can expect mostly sunny weather after a slight risk of showers on Tuesday afternoon and evening.

Flair: Fuji has expanded to many new locations. The décor seeks to capture the cultural character of Japan. Sit back, relax and enjoy the show.
7687 Mall Road, Florence, 859-746-8180; 4389 East Gate Square Drive, Eastgate, 513-752-9222; 3373 Princeton Road, Fairfield, 513-844-2600; 3836 Paxton Road, Hyde Park, 513-871-0500. Open 7 days. $12-$32.
Jag's Steak and Seafood
Flavor: The 8-ounce Kobe filet, served with au gratin potatoes and sautéed spinach, is the culinary equivalent of velvet. Two other filet favorites are the Black Truffle Filet and the 10-ounce Big Oscar topped with shrimp, lobster and king crab and finished with a lobster Hollandaise sauce. Jag's also offers a raw bar and entrées such as Chilean Seabass and Alaskan King Crab Legs as well as several vegetarian choices.
Flair: With six individualized dining rooms, you're likely to find one that fits your mood du jour. Try the Library Room when you're feeling all masculine — you'll fit right in with the floor-to-ceiling mahogany paneling, built-in bookcases and burgundy chairs.

Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse
Flavor: If you love steak you have about a zero percent chance of being let down with one of Ruby's — they dry-age their own. There are several non-steak options on the menu, including good seafood dishes, but the cow is king (queen?) at Ruby's.
Flair: Don't be surprised if a yellow Lamborghini pulls up on the sidewalk during your dinner or you see Charlie Luken or some other local hotshot chatting on the patio any day of the week. It's definitely a place to see and be seen. Winner of "Best Waitstaff/Service."
700 Walnut St., Downtown, 513-784-1200. Open Monday-Saturday. $24-$72.
Maury's Tiny Cove
Flavor: Maury's is a casual steakhouse, offering traditional steakhouse fare such as the filet or ribs.

Maury's has been packed full of flavor and West Side tradition since 1949.
Flair: Get your Mad Men on, Cincinnati style, at Maury's Bar, the recently re-opened retro cocktail lounge that's the coolest in Cheviot. Maury's classic martinis and manhattans taste great with the West Side Cincinnati Sampler: goetta balls, mini-reubens, and hanky pankies.
3908 Harrison Ave., Cheviot, 513-662-2683. Open Monday-Saturday, Sundays seasonally. $18-$37.
Morton's — The Steakhouse
Flavor: Known for its high-quality beef, elegant service and oversized martinis, Morton's is widely regarded as steakhouse dining at its finest. Where else can you experience a drive-by cart laden with cuts of raw meat, seafood and vegetables so you can view your meal-to-be in the raw? There are also excellent salads, seafood and a nice selection of vegetable side dishes for two (or more). The happy-hour food specials in the new bar area are the draw for those of us on a budget.
Flair: The Carew Tower location is steakhouse deluxe, with lots of dark woods and tuxedo-clad waiters. In addition to your appetite, better bring your wallet.
441 Vine St., Downtown, 513-621-3111. Open 7 days. $23-$45.
The Precinct
Flavor: You can always rely on a Jeff Ruby restaurant for a big, rare steak and platters of seafood. The Precinct, the first in a long line of Ruby steakhouses, has been doing it since 1981. You can't go wrong with a sirloin or a porterhouse, but there are options — like pan-roasted grouper, or something from "Hussey's Table, in homage to Jimmy Hussey, the king of tableside cooks," which includes Cajun Shrimp, Shrimp and Crab Saute or Hussey's Famous Fettuccine for Two.
Flair: Well-dressed guests and sparkling china. The Precinct is a great place to people watch. Play spot the local celebrity over drinks in the bar before dinner. Winner of "Best Steaks."
311 Delta Ave., Columbia-Tusculum, 513-321-5454. Open 7 days. $26-$46.

I had a great year living here. I was living in VA and choose Mission Lakes due to the school zone. The admin staff has been very friendly and answered any questions or concerns I had promptly. The maintenance crew is great, always smiling and waving when they saw me and my family. The were adamant about staying on their monthly routine for changing air filters and pest control. Beyond that, the times I needed any extra maintenance it was done that day or by the next morning. The only reason I did not extend my lease is due to getting engaged. This is a quiet to place to live and I would recommend it to anybody, especially if you have a family.

if I could rate this place 0 I would this is the worst place I have ever lived in. The maintenance they don't do anything they don't fix anything and my roommate was sleeping while one of the guys knocked on the door a couple of times nobody answered so he decided to walk into the room when she stood up quickly he just closed the door and left like he was about to steal something I wouldn't recommend anybody living here.

I'm open for just about anything.
Idk...some where we can talk n get 2kno each otha comfortably...wer eva...
I'm a nerd so going to the science museum or something like that, or bringing her to my property to ride horses. Anything where we can talk and get to know each other.
lets meet at a public place, perhaps a coffee house, wollaston beach, or book store
This is not supposed to be less than 30 characters long but, I've actually never been on a date before so I'm really just not sure.
Lisa Ray, and Rebecca Harris:) and more woman
meeting on computer, i'm curious and not comfortable with this choice yet...please understand I don't know any place to meet and be comfortable.
i'm not so good on dating, cause i have to experience at all...but i love to take my dogs to the beach and have ice-cream
Go for coffee maybe go to dog park?
dining out side on the water with a a glass of wine and good company
I would say a great first date idea is a casual meal or event, somewhere that conversation could be the focus.
Meeting first for coffee and conversation then off for a bit.
LDate does not conduct background checks on the members of this website.

Politics: EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson announced Thursday she's leaving her post. Is she getting out just ahead of an investigation into the illegal use of private emails for official government business?
Federal law bars government employees from using private email accounts for official communications unless the emails are appropriately stored and can be tracked. The objective is to ensure open government.
Apparently, though, Jackson would prefer to work in the shadows outside the disinfecting light.
Suspicions led the Environmental Protection Agency inspector general to launch a probe into Jackson's email use and prompted at least two congressional committees to dig around as well.
What we now know is that Arvin Ganesan, EPA associate administrator for congressional and intergovernmental affairs, confirmed to six interested House members on Dec. 12 that Jackson did indeed use the name "Richard Windsor" in secret email exchanges on a private account.
So what was communicated in these emails?
The Competitive Enterprise Institute, which has filed a lawsuit demanding their release, believes they "relate to the war on coal Jackson was orchestrating on behalf of President Obama outside the appropriate democratic process."
Maybe it's a coincidence that Jackson, who attended Tulane University on a scholarship provided by Shell Oil, resigned only days after the Justice Department agreed to hand over 12,000 emails from Jackson's "Richard Windsor" account. But it looks like she's attempting to dodge an uncomfortable investigation.
Whatever the case, Jackson can't be allowed to simply walk away to spend more time with her family or move into academia, as some are suggesting. The probe must follow its course to wherever, and to whomever, it leads. If there is wrongdoing, appropriate penalties have to be meted out, or the government's pledge to do the business of the American people in the open is meaningless.
Though we wish we were celebrating Jackson's departure as a step toward a more rational, reasonable EPA, we expect the next administrator will continue the administration's war not just on coal, but on all fossil fuels.
Not only does Obama want to put coal plants out of business, he's also barred the Keystone XL pipeline, blocked crude production on federal land and cancelled offshore leases in tracts rich in gas and oil.
And at least two of his Cabinet members have expressed an appetite for higher gasoline prices while Obama himself has proposed hiking taxes on conventional energy.
No, it's likely Obama will replace Jackson with someone just as extreme as she is, if not more so. And probably equally as secretive.

You Can't Please Everybody, or, That Time I Almost Poisoned a Dinner Guest
I had the pleasure of joining a group of ladies last weekend on a birthday trip out of town. I was the "new girl" which meant I wasn't used to everyone's stuff. Personal, medical, and food. Normally not an issue except for the fact that I was preparing dinner for the group first thing Friday night.
As I'm exploring on my side project, Bake Sales Are My Bitch, you can't swing a cat without hitting someone with a food allergy/issue/whatnot. Of course I'm including myself in that cat swinging activity. Naturally when the call went out we had a fairly long list of food issues, well, for only 8 ladies. Again, I'm the celiac, and not blameless. And also super sympathetic, obvs. Still, the allergy to capsicum peppers was to be my Achilles heel.

Cooking The Hell Out of a CSA Box . . . Again!
There are oh so many sign ups when you've got kids in school. There's the PTA, the recycling "green" team, the carpool traffic cop . . . and so much more. Which is why my hand is always raised when there is anything, at all, even halfway related to food. I grabbed that beautiful CSA box once again from my daughter's school and did it all Chopped style to make some awesome gluten-free food stuffs for the school. LOVE IT. And how great looking is that produce up in there? Daaaamn.
I've always wanted to to see how kids respond to quinoa and cheese vs. traditional mac style, and this was the perfect opportunity to try that biz out. Adding tiny chopped broccoli makes it community supported agriculture-box friendly, and super delicious for kids and adults alike. Here it is, a one pot super fast dish that is RAD –
Really, you just cook the quinoa as the package instructs, add in about 1/4 cup of vegetable stock (gluten-free, natch) at the end, keep the burner on low and add 1 cup of grated cheddar and diced broccoli. Stir, and serve. YUM.
I'm honestly at a loss with the Kiwi fruit. I have such a weird seed issue, but it's so cute! I thought about throwing together a tart, then went "Mascarpone!" One way to enjoy delish fruit is to just dip it into a lovely mascarpone, honey, vanilla and cream mixture like Ina Garten does. Serve it up, my friends, Serve it up.
If you want to keep things running smoothly and quickly, call in the stir fry police. Yes, it is a cheap and easy move, but who doesn't love a great stir fry? This particular box included snap peas, bok choy, leeks and carrots. Which means = delicious over rice.
Sauteeing these farm fresh vegetables in olive oil, garlic, ginger, wheat-free tamari and sesame oil keeps the veggies crisp, flavorful and fresh. Be sure to use the peeler to shave carrots over the mixture right before it finishes cooking so carrot ribbons don't soften too much. Serve over organic brown rice, and BAM.
The kicker recipe was, of course, the Citrus Julius. Mmmm, mall food.
I'm starting to think I should start a service where people drop off their CSA boxes and I cook up a crazy meal. Of course, these people would have to love the idea of mystery ingredients. And throw-backs to the '80s. Actually, those people sound like AWESOME people.
Also, this entire process (except for the freezing of the citrus juices) took about 30 minutes total. COOL. Which kind of goes to show that fresh, unmessed with ingredients can really turn into something amazing with just the tiniest effort. Really, the instructions above will give you a great, fast, easy result. Try it, you'll like it! And that ends my preaching for the day. OH, except one more thing. If you haven't seen it yet, you MUST watch True Detective. Best. Show. Ever. Matthew McConaughey. That is all.

Gluten-Free Honey Buttermilk Fried Chicken
My daughter came home from somewhere I can't recall and announced that she had just had the BEST honey fried chicken. My intense jealousy sent me straight to the store for cut up chicken pieces and buttermilk. Because you know, I WANT FRIED CHICKEN TOO. I've done the chicken and waffle thing before (recipe in my book) on the gf, so this is really adding a honey step for even more deliciousness.
Fried chicken is one of those things that I truly missed the most when I was diagnosed with the sprue. Sure, I can make it myself and it's not too complicated (says the girl who grew up with a grandmother who made it every time we were over), but I'm still super sad I can't drive up to a joint and just dive in. Sigh. So this was fun to have around for a day or two including leftovers. I felt like I should have taken the extra on a pic-a-nic, but alas, we kind of don't do that anymore. You never catch anyone packing up the cold chicken and potato salad with a checkered cloth and heading out to the woods. WEIRD. Why don't we do that? We should do that.
Regardless, I had some Hodgson's mill gluten-free seasoned flour which I've used before, so I just added some corn starch for extra crunch (you can also use potato starch or tapioca starch). If you use regular flour, salt and pepper that stuff and throw any other spices in that make you happy. Maybe even some hot sauce. The end result? Awesomeness.
Three words, you guys: Fried honey chunks. You should do this.

Gluten-Free Smoky Chicken Chowder Because I Think It's Fall
Wheeee! Fall in LA, people. It's just like every other season except we did have two chilly days where I wore the hell out of my sweaters and put on boots. Because I know when to take advantage of a situation. Also, I know how to rock a chicken for the week.
Have I ever talked about the power of a roast chicken? No? If you learn nothing else from me, my friends, please know that you can never underestimate the awesomeness of roasting a Sunday chicken, then repurposing it throughout the week. Roast it!
Usually I like to make the chicken enchiladas with my leftovers and throw some chicken at my children, but I'm trying hard to steer clear of the dairy. Or at least, the insane amount of dairy that goes into delicious, delicious, enchiladas. This recipe for smoky chicken chowder that I picked up from Epicurious also called for some dairy, but I pulled a vegan trick and added an extra Russet potato and cut way back on the cream, and deleted the cheese. Even without that deliciousness, this was, what they say in my house, "The best soup you've ever made." I'm the "you've" there, everybody. It was me that made the soup.
So now that we're clear on that, let me show you how I gluten-freed, and dairy-lighted this insanely delicious chowder that I'm going to make again, and again, and again, and again. It's slurping time.

Gluten-Free Sriracha Salmon Cakes
I really want ice cream, but I can't have it. So I'm back behind the stove and I thought it was about time I started putting sriracha on everything like all the cool kids are doing. Has anyone put it on ice cream yet? I bet they have. I bet there is homemade sriracha chocolate ice cream. I'd eat that. Except it looks like I can't. So, hey, how about salmon? Why yes I am totally sad, why do you ask?
Actually these salmon cakes remind me a bit of the ones my mother used to make. Of course, she used can salmon and I got one of those farm-raised fillets from Whole Foods, what with all the bones in it. (Side note: Does anyone actually WANT the bones? Why not just debone it all, Whole Foods?) I also chopped up fresh chives, which is kind of one of my favorite things to do now that I can't eat ice cream. And then I added a splash of sriracha because that's what you do. You know what? These were pretty danged good. And since I poached the salmon the night before, I was able to throw this together super quickly after work, sautee up some kale with pumpkin seeds, and go to healthy town.
Almost Whole 30 friendly (it's those bread crumbs and yogurt sauce that'll get ya') but definitely friendly to my new way of trying to eat clean, this recipe is a winner. Incidentally, in the original recipe from Epicurious you do not poach the salmon ahead of time. I just have such a weird thing about cooking fish all the way through I wanted to make sure that was happening before I chowed down. I mean, I have LOTS of weird things, and I think making sure fish is cooked is pretty far down on my list. Like way after assigning gender to numbers (3 is SUCH a girl), but weirder than my love for taco shells all on their own.
Here's how to make it up!

Gluten-Free Madras Lentils & Green Rice in 5 Minutes or Less
You ever have one of those days when you're like "'eff you, and 'eff that, and 'eff that other thing"? Then you drive two-and-a-half hours home in horrible traffic and you're like "I have to make 'effing dinner? 'Eff that too." That's where your Tasty Bite comes into play and saves your evening.
Normally I'm more of a make it from scratch kind of gal, but this whole commuting in LA thing has made me look much more fondly upon the packages at the store. Hence, my frozen brown rice from Trader Joe's I dressed up to make "green" and my willingness to taste test some Indian food from the Tasty Bite people who sent me a whole box of yumness.
I admit I was not familiar with the Tasty Bite, but after reading a bit it seems like they're all for the farm fresh, no BPA in packaging, carefully marking and creating the gluten-free, treating their employees right, and general goodness. The Madras Lentils that took all of one minute to heat up was certainly delicious, and I have to say I'm really looking forward to checking out the Satay Partay package, as I'm always ready for both a satay and a partay at any given moment. So thanks TBs, for the grub! As well as the ability to eat in five minutes so I could finally catch up on Game of Thrones.
Here's how you do that quick green rice situation:

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — FBI records show that Alaska serial killer Israel Keyes indicated to authorities that five people in Washington were among his 11 victims.
More details about the killings emerged on Tuesday when the FBI released more than six hours of interviews conducted before Keyes committed suicide in an Anchorage jail last December.
Keyes indicated one person was killed and buried near Neah Bay. A couple were murdered and buried, and two other people — in separate incidents — were killed and submerged in one or two lakes.
He gave authorities few other details.
The FBI has release the interviews and a timeline with the hope that someone might be able to match his movements in the past 12 years to missing peopleOnline:

Building your own video server
We'll show you how to build your own Linux-based video server that records, stores, and distributes TV programs.
Video cassettes are becoming a thing of the past as movie buffs move to DVDs or hard disk recorders. Even these recent technologies pose space and convenience issues, so a do-it-yourself video server offers a handy alternative. Using the MythTV media center software, a TV card, and a decommissioned PC, you can quickly build a video server that serves up digital video in your home.
The system is based on a standard Linux PC, which will become a digital video recorder under the aegis of MythTV. The software uses the internal TV card to scan TV channels and store them on the internal hard disk. In contrast to hard disk recorders, the hard disk capacity is almost unlimited; if you start running out of space, you can add a disk or replace an existing one with a bigger model.
