$6 Adult, $5 Child/Student/Senior]]> Inspired by events in the life of Miles Davis, one of 20th century music's creative geniuses, MILES AHEAD is a wildly entertaining, impressionistic, no-holds barred portrait featuring a career-defining performance by Oscar nominee Don Cheadle in the title role. Working from a script he co-wrote with Steven Baigelman, Cheadle makes his bravura directorial debut. In the midst of a dazzling and prolific career at the forefront of modern jazz innovation, Miles Davis (Cheadle) virtually disappears from public view for a period of five years in the late 1970s. Alone and holed up in his home, he is beset by chronic pain from a deteriorating hip, his musical voice stifled and numbed by drugs and pain medications, his mind haunted by unsettling ghosts from the past. A wily music reporter, Dave Braden (Ewan McGregor) forces his way into Davis' house and, over the next couple of days, the two men unwittingly embark on a wild and sometimes harrowing adventure to recover a stolen tape of the musician's latest compositions.

$10]]> In the summer of 2014, after a long stretch of living on the road, performing and writing across the U.S., Americana songwriters and Virginia natives Laura Wortman and Kagey Parrish, collectively known as The Honey Dewdrops, decided to settle down in Baltimore, MD. "Touring is like collecting images of landscapes, sounds of voices, contents of stories, moods of places and environments," says Wortman. "All of that can be useful. It tells you something about human nature, about how the world works, little by little." And so the couple took their experiences on the road, and dug in to write and record their fourth album, Tangled Country, in their new home. It's a beautiful and engaging take on modern American roots music and the first album of theirs entirely written, arranged, and recorded in one place; a testament to the power of home.
Excellently produced, engineered, mixed, and mastered by Nicholas Sjostrom, who also joins The Honey Dewdrops on bass, piano, and Wurlitzer, the songs, all original compositions by Wortman & Parrish, tell stories that engage and resonate in a delicately creative way, blurring the line between narrative and prose. The closeness of sound and the musical compatibility that The Honey Dewdrops possess is unmistakeable. On Tangled Country, each share vocals and guitars, augmented by Parrish's mandolin and Wortman's work on banjo and harmonica. The album bears witness to The Honey Dewdrops' simply being themselves, stewards of the Americana tradition, having seen the world and grown a little older and now finally come home.

Ukraine's president agrees to scrap contentious anti-protest law
Jim Heintz and Maria Danilova, The Associated Press

Last Updated Monday, January 27, 2014 4:42PM EST
KYIV, Ukraine -- A statement on the website of the beleaguered Ukrainian president says he has agreed to scrap harsh anti-protest legislation that sparked violent clashes.
The statement came after a meeting between President Viktor Yanukovych and top opposition figures late Monday.
The statement also said one of leaders, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, has rejected Yanukovych's offer to become prime minister.

Background: While the Stellar Alliance tries to maintain harmony with all intelligent species outside of Alliance space, even the most inclusive Alliance citizens have a hard time putting in a good word for the Ardalians. Even going beyond their offsetting appearance, the typical Ardalian comes across as blunt, uncaring, and cruel, seeing other intelligent species as merely tools. Possessing a resource illegal to distribute in Alliance space, and a need for intelligent species to manipulate their environment, the Ardies have reputation for being the most despicable sentient race yet encountered.
Appearance and Biology: Evolved from shallows dwelling, plankton consuming invertebrates, adult Ardalians live in the shallows and coves of their worlds, a water planet with 85% oceanic coverage, the remaining 15% divided among scattered archipelagos. Their bodies are roughly saucer shaped, approximately one hundred and fifty yards in diameter, the skin undulating in surface patterns that can camoflauge them from casual observers or unlucky victims, with fifty large, plate sized eyes circling their body. Mounted between each set of eyes is a single tentacle that can extend to almost three hundred yards in length, the final yard long tip ending in a unique nerve cluster, which both allowed the Ardalians to develop a technological civilization and earn the disgust of free sentients everywhere.
This nerve cluster possesses the unique, and so far unduplicated, ability to interface with other species, even those with a radically different biology than that found on the Ardie homeworld. The tentacle tip is pressed against a subject, or more accurately victim's, back, allowing thousands of needle sharp "nerve pins" to pierce the subject's spine and create an interface between the Ardalian and the subject. This procedure has been described as "having molten lava poured over your nerve ends" by the few survivors of the experience. The process takes about an hour to complete, and the victim is usually restrained and conscious, as the Ardie tests and cements its control.
Once complete, the interface allows the Ardalian to use the victim's eyes and ears to observe the world, and their hands to manipulate it. Their puppets have no control during this process, their own nerve impulses overridden, only able to feel and observe silently as their bodies are used for the Ardie's own ends. The feeling of violation is terrifying, and the few puppets that have been successfully freed from the interface often suffer long term psychological damage, beyond the physical damage inflicted on their bodies by the uncaring Ardie controlling them.
Ardalians reproduce by budding, releasing up to a hundred buds at once every twenty years or so, to float away with the tides, most to be eaten predators before they can mature. Adolescent Ardalians are mobile, crawling along the floor of their world's seas at one yard per second, until they're either eaten or find a safe harbor.
Society: Ardalians are highly individualistic, the nature of their biology making it difficult to even form a community to interact with. Nevertheless they managed, using their sonar to communicate over long distances, and a local species of borderline sentient humanoids (roughly equivalent to Australopithecus) to do work on the shoreline that couldn't be done in the water. Even so, since the ability to mine metals was very limited, so was their technology, until first contact was made with a Stellar Alliance exploration ship and trade could begin.
First contact revealed much about the Ardalian personality. While they do have some admirable traits, mostly a devotion to speaking truthfully bordering on rude, they have a hard time thinking of other sentient, in particular their enslaved puppets, as people. To an Ardalian, the only people worthy of consideration are other Ardies, and then only to the point of what use they can be. Anyone else, especially their puppets, is a disposable tool. Indeed, prior to their discovery by the Alliance, they were on the verge of losing their ability to manipulate items on land because they were killing the local humanoids faster than they could breed.
Alliance Relations: They can described as "strained" at best. Ardalians don't leave their homeworld except under extraordinary circumstances, but they're desperate for Alliance credits to build up their tech level. While there's some argument in favor of providing the Ardies with robots to replace their puppets, there are few things the Ardies have, beyond biofauna unique to their world, that can't be found elsewhere trading with more pleasant races.
Unfortunately for the Alliance, one of those pieces of biofauna is the Trileaf, an innocuously named flowering plant that is the base ingredient in Redline, an amphetamine variant commonly used as a combat drug. One ampule has a street value of $500, and provides the user with a feeling of invincibility and immunity to pain for up to ten minutes (Combat Reflexes, High Pain Threshold, Overconfidence), followed by a crash that subtracts 20 minus HT worth of Fatigue Points. Using it more than once a week requires a 3d6 HT roll, failure resulting in a permanent subtraction of one HT. In terms of value for an Addiction disadvantage, it's considered Illegal, Expensive, and Highly Addictive.
For obvious reasons the Alliance forbids the export of Trileaf except to licensed research institutes. For equally obvious reasons various criminal enterprises try to get around this restriction. Currently the Alliance charter forbids interdicting planets that have not proven to be overtly hostile to member worlds, though this interpretation is getting increasing scrutiny as Redline addiction spreads. This is especially acute given that Ardies, when they aren't trying to get technology, are trying to get slaves to replace their dwindling puppet population. The usual victims are captives taken when a pirate attacks a civilian vessel, though there are always urban legends abound about innocent tourists getting drugged while on a "safe" Alliance world and finding themselves shipped to Ardalia Prime (and maybe missing a kidney or spare lung).

After the GM finally get the last person Processed, it gets to work mining the Solar System for the raw material to break down into component atoms and recreate as the ill-defined Unobtanium to build the main structure of the Ring. Now I've got two things to go on to determine the mass of this stuff. One was a mention of Quisling's Ringmetal collar, which Khan described to her as being both lighter than air and sufficiently tough that it would be simpler to cut her head off than cut through the material it's made of to remove it. The other is a throwaway gag in a drabble about the GM strip mining the Solar System for raw materials, including blowing up Pluto.
Okay, the lighter than air thing points towards Ringmetal being some form of Polymer Aerogel, maybe reinforced by
Now the mass of the Asteroid belt, even including Ceres and the rest of the Big Four, is still less than half of Charon, Pluto's moon. Now given the total guesstimated mass of the Ring, would that be enough to build it, or would the GM have to sacrifice some of the crappier smaller moons of Jupiter and Saturn to fill things in?
[1] I'm guesstimating the soil and rocks will go down to a depth of one, maybe two kilometers, and perhaps five for the deepest part of the Ring Seas.
The Groupmind, given its motto may as well be "Why take chances?" built one anyway
The primary structure of the Roof is a set of colossal arches, each a hundred meters thick and a thousand kilometers long, crossing from Wall to Wall, supported by equally thick cross beams built parallel every ten kilometers. As with every part of the Ring the scale is incredible, more so when taking into account there are no supporting columns to spoil the view, beyond the eight Grand Elevators that stand from the surface to the Roof, serving as equidistant central communication and logistics points, and providing transport from the Beanstalk transfer stations.
Each of the ten kilometer wide squares formed by the beams is filled in with a single diamond/Ring Hull composite window pane. Each pane incorporates both transparent solar electric cells (serving as a 100% tertiary backup to the cells mounted on the underside of the Ring and the fusion reactors in the interior), and liquid crystal displays.
The LCD's serve to provide a day/night cycle for both the Ring's human inhabitants and its flora and fauna. Rotating independently of the Earth and far enough away that sections are only briefly occluded from the Sun as they move behind the planet's mass, there is no natural night. Instead the Roof panels darken to provide a 'night' for humans and other creatures to rest, and nocturnal animals to go about their business. Day lengths vary slightly throughout the year to provide recognizable "seasons", but the entire Ring can be considered a single time zone. For extremophiles, there are parts of the Roof set to provide an eternal day to simulate high latitude regions during summer, and others blackened to twilight or complete darkness for various Gothic and Creatures of the Night enthusiasts or LARPers. [1]
Along the Roof's central spine are the magnetic tracks that serve as the anchor points for the beanstalks connecting the Ring to the Earth, necessary since the Ring and the planet below rotate at different speeds. Running parallel to the anchor tracks are the twin magnetic acceleration/deceleration tracks, used to bring cargo arriving from the Beanstalk up to the Ring's rotational speed, or slowing it down to return to Earth. Though amount of traffic is minimal compared to the era of the Ring's construction, the system is maintained to serve as a massive gyroscopic system to maintain the Ring's orbital position. [2]
The Roof protected by an extensive collision protection system, mostly lasers and kinetic mass weapons designed to divert or destroy any asteroid large enough to punch through one of the diamondoid panes. In the unlikely event an asteroid large enough to be a threat isn't detected in time to be destroyed, the Groupmind's procedure is to evacuate any humans in the area to safe zones outside the impact area of any debris. In the very unlikely event that an asteroid strikes underneath the Ring hard enough to punch through the Floor but not destroy the Ring, the impact the strike zone will be walled off to prevent atmosphere leakage while that section is repaired.
[1] In those situations, interior light tends to have high UV content to prevent vitamin loss, and residents are encouraged to periodically travel to more normally lit regions to prevent triggering various forms of Seasonal Affective Disorder.
[2] Backed up by ion OMS engines. Each with their own security system to prevent tampering by humanity's descendants. And large pictographic signs detailing exactly why removing the engines for other purposes is a suicidal idea.
Meanwhile, reading through The Fall of Man reveals an unanticipated timezone problem: You Never Forget Your First establishes that the Groupmind revolution began in Stockholm, Sweden at about 10pm Central European Time. Meanwhile Mimsey's Tale shows that it begins in Mimsey's unspecified town at Noon, a ten hour difference. This only works if Mimsey's Tale occurs in Alaska.[1] This is supported by Caroline attending Martin Luther King Elementary School, named after an American political figure, but on the other hand when Mimsey has to make an emergency phone call, she dials 999, which is used primarily in Great Britain.
[1] Which make the stated temperatures and air quality warnings Mimsey records even more terrifying.
This is how the World ends
Not with a bang
Not with a whimper.
But a quiet sigh
And a promise to do better.
The Earth is teetering on the edge of an environmental disaster, and Mankind can do nothing to stop it. So Man's creations take matters into their own hands. But if the Earth is to survive, it will first have to be conquered.
This collection includes the original short stories "For Your Safety" and "Mimsey's Tale" and four all new stories set during the time of the Groupmind Rebellion.

Some caveats: This is only my Amazon.com sales. I don't offer all my works on Smashwords, and anyway the sales there are minimal compared to Amazon, perhaps $10.00 in royalties in a very good year.
I have fifteen works for sale, consisting of seven novellas, seven short stories, and a self-published audiobook
Good Landing is a short story that I offered for free when I first started on Amazon. The first few weeks it was there downloads of it went through the roof, for reasons I've never really been able to understand, since I didn't promote it in any way.
Average price for my novellas is $2.99. Shorts other than Good Landing, of which I have six, are $0.99. My most popular series is The Red Vixen Adventures, which mostly hits the Sci-Fi Furry LGBT Romance market. After that it's my two For Your Safety shorts, which are speculative fiction about a rather gentle Robot Apocalypse. I'm hoping to break out of the Furry market with those stories, which I'm putting out in a paired set of collections with other shorts in the same universe.
Post 2014 I haven 't pushed anything until the recent June release of Shadow of Doubt and my sales tanked accordingly.

Her Steel Tyger Master stared at her across the chessboard, one eyebrow cocked in amusement. The battlefield was nearly his, her own queen captured, along with her knights, rooks, one bishop and nearly all of her pawns, without only a single knight and a pair of pawns missing from his own army. "Mate in one move," he rumbled, his voice a purr of satisfaction.
"Master, it occurs to this slave that trying to beat you at a game like chess puts her at a slight disadvantage," she pointed out to him. "You have a computerized mind, after all."
"You needn't have played, if you didn't wish," he said to her.
"When the stakes were my freedom? What other choice did this slave have?"
"Not to play. Or demand a different game, one that you might win."
She smiled. "What if losing is the best way to win the prize?"

So it turned out that Xavier was really into Scrabble, somehow finding a pair of sets from a hobby store that their mysterious captor had provided, so they wouldn't get bored.
"Wouldn't it be easier just to get the game app for your phone?" Anna asked him. She sat at the table across from him, the board between them, while around them the rest of the partygoers mingled or played other games like European Outbreak Express.
He turned a tile over in his fingers. "You don't want people staring at their phones at a party," he said, setting it back down on his holder. "Besides, I always thought face-to-face communication was better."
"I guess that makes sense."
"Have you heard from your mother?" he asked.
"Yes, she's still stuck with the rest of the government employees," Anna said. "She's bored, but at least she was able to exchange texts with Pappa. As near as he can figure his Rest & Rec city is in Mongolia." One of the more interesting bits of news to come through the rapidly expanding rumor mill that had built up overnight, was the report from a few amateur astronomers that their own city was in the middle of the Empty Quarter in the Arabian Peninsula. Which made the idea of somehow ripping through apparently unrippable dome plastic to escape even less appealing than before.
"We need your help," Xavier said, setting down several Scrabble tiles to spell out FIGHT.
"Doing what?" Anna asked. She looked at her own tiles, trying to figure what she could spell with G N T V V W X. She settled for borrowing Xavier's I and making WIN.
He smiled. "Trying to help other people. Keep them from having too much time to worry with activities like we're doing now." He spelled out RESIST, using the T on the end of FIGHT.
She'd gotten a pair of O's with her last grab, and spelled out ROBOT off of Xavier's last word. "That makes sense. Folks are so scared. They need some comforting."
"Well, maybe not too comfortable," he said, spelling out SABOTAGE. He stared into her eyes intently. "Do you understand?"
Anna looked down at the words spelled out on the board, and was suddenly reminded of images from her history classes, of Swedes, sometimes brave, sometimes frightened, often angry, resisting the Nazis that had invaded their homeland.
I have really got the wrong last name for this, she thought. "Yeah, I understand," she said aloud.

(AP) WASHINGTON - Vice President Joe Biden is canceling a speech to an influential gay rights group and an appearance at a Democratic fundraiser because of the government shutdown.
Biden was scheduled to deliver the keynote address Saturday to about 3,400 people at the annual dinner of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's biggest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender civil rights group. He was also to attend a fundraiser Monday for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which raises money for Democratic House candidates.
President Barack Obama has also canceled events while much of the federal government remains shut down. Obama canceled an appearance at a glitzy Congressional Hispanic Caucus event Wednesday and has scaled back his upcoming trip to Asia.
The shutdown has forced hundreds of thousands of federal workers on furlough.

Bradley County School Board member Chris Turner told board members he has concerns that board attorney Charles Cagle has some conflicts of interest in representing the board.
He also said the contract for the board attorney has not been reviewed for 14 years.
Mr. Turner called to the board's attention what he believes to be several problematic relationships that attorney Cagle has with several lobbyist groups. Attorney Cagle, chairman of the education law practice group for Lewis Thomason, King, and Waldrop law firm, represents Bradley County schools, along with about 70 other school districts.
He is also a lobbyist for several education-based special interest groups, which Mr. Turner feels come into direct conflict with his representation of the Bradley County school system.
Mr. Turner said, "In the business world we have things called conflicts of interest. I'm confident that other members of the board who work for business don't have attorneys who represent their competitors. We are one big team in education, however we do have competing interests. We do have different positions and I want to outline some of those that I believe are conflicts of interest."
Mr. Turner listed several lobbying and education reform groups that attorney Cagle works for. These include, but are not limited to, Tennessee SCORE (State Collaborative on Reform of Education), Tennessee Organization of School Superintendents (TOSS), and The Association of Independent and Municipal Schools (AIMS).
Mr. Turner said the law firm declined to advise the board concerning the liquor by the drink tax revenue debate, as well as the fact that Mr. Cagle is also a registered lobbyist for Pearson Education, the education publishing and assessment service that he said landed the PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) testing contract without having to contend with any competing bids.
Mr. Turner also stated that Tennessee state law dictates that competitive bidding is required in the selection of the new assessment test administrators. He said, "Although several companies inquired about the contract, Pearson was the only bidder. Our board attorney represents as a paid lobbyist, an organization that solely is the only bidder for the single largest consortium in public education."
He said attorney Cagle's work with AIMS was the straw that broke his back with the alleged conflict of interest. He said, "The districts that are part of the Association of Independent and Municipal Schools include the city of Cleveland and the attorney and lobbyist is Mr. Chuck Cagle. Mr. Cagle's firm declined to offer an opinion on the liquor by the drink tax distribution to Bradley County Schools. He cited conflict of interest.."
Mr. Turner also said that this is not a matter of professional competency, but rather a breach of contract due to many conflicts of interest.
Attorney Chris McCarty of Lewis, Thomason, King, and Krieg, who was present to speak on behalf of the firm, said that the firm represents about 70 school systems statewide and that there are bound to be conflicts of interest. Attorney McCarty said also that it would be unethical of them not to declare when such conflicts arise. He said that the firm is just too big for these situations to not arise, but that the size of the firm also provides its clients with a wide breadth of expertise, resources, and experience. Attorney McCarty also said that the firm handles day to day legal problems for the school system and out of thousands of issues there has only been one conflict of interest.
Mr. Turner moved that the board hire new legal representation, rejecting the firm's too big argument. Board member Troy Weathers disagreed with Mr. Turner. He said, "It's not Mr. Cagle's fault that they had one bidder."
Mr. Weathers also said that the board uses different attorneys for different situations all the time, and he felt that the board should not act on this until the board members have been better informed on the situation. Board member Nicholas Lillios said that it does make good business sense to review the contract for legal service, as it should be done more frequently. After some debate the board moved to review the legal contracts next month after the entire board has had time to more thoroughly research the situation.
The board also heard an update on the school system's current construction updates from Angie Lyon, of the Kaatz, Binkley, Jones, and Morris architecture firm. This led directly to a debate over the condition of the Bradley County School's budget and infrastructure. Board member Lillios said that he would not approve a budget that did not consider the infrastructure issues by laying out a plan for funding future capital projects. Several of the school systems buildings are about 50 years old and are going to need to be replaced or will be in need of serious repair soon.
Board member Charlie Rose said, "We have a crisis on our hands, as far as our buildings go."
The crux of the debate lies in just how these infrastructure projects should be funded. Board member Lillios again suggested some serious budget cuts, while Mr. Turner raised question about how the school system's money is being spent and said that the taxpayers deserve to know where their money is going. Board member Weathers expressed concerns over budget cuts. He said, "We have teachers and principals out here and they know the game, and they know that when you're talking about cuts. You're talking about cuts, and we didn't get where we are today with our test scores and graduation rates with cuts. We're doing a lot of things right," said Weathers.
Mr. Turner suggested that the board more closely follow the state's Basic Education Program or BEP. He further requested that the system's business office produce a line by line comparison of the BEP and the system's proposed budget.
Bradley County business manager Rick Smith said that not only would this be labor intensive and time consuming, but that the data would not be very practical or helpful. Director of Schools Johnny McDaniel echoed this sentiment, saying that the BEP is merely a guideline that determines how funding is generated and allocated. The board voted in favor of detailing the budget. The board also approved the Federal Programs Consolidated Budget and agreed to use the TSBA-approved model in order to complete Director McDaniel's annual performance evaluation.

Yeah, I really love this phone/camera, had it for more than a year now, and it packs a punch, gives other p&s a run for their money. I agree on the proxy, although, with the physical contraints, I can't focus on objects as close as i can with other phones
Thanks for the compliments!

A Lot Like Birds new album
Actually looking forward to this. Just to compare between the new DGD album.
Gonna slay
I am so stoked for this album. They better release a track sometime this week.
fuck yeah. that album art rulez, gurl.
If this isn't in my top 5 AOTY, I don't want to live anymore
album art is awesome. band is awesome. album will probs be awesome
Digging: Nails - You Will Never Be One of Us
Art fookin' rules. Dunno if the album will though, seems like the novelty of the last one wore off quick.
Digging: Propaganda - A Secret Wish
No way. The last one fucking rules
October will be one hell of a month
Dat album art though....
No way. The last one fucking rules
Yeah probably. I just don't find myself wanting to listen to it.
I really like the art, but like the new DGD artwork (haha) it's a bit too similar to their past work. This looks pulled straight from the Conversation Piece booklet
Fuckin yeah so pumped, artwork is amazing
Digging: Andy Hull - Swiss Army Man OST
hell yeah i'm hoping this will top conversation piece
oh fuck me gotta go to the az date for sure.
I too live in Arizona. We should have sex
i didnt like conversation piece that much but ill still give this a chance.
first comment mentions dgd
rip allb
top-notch musicians, top-notch creativity, top-notch art
top-notch album, will be AOTY
I have a feeling this is going to be really good
Art looks sick plus loved Conversation Piece.
Such a fan of that artwork
Less than 2 months out and they don't release a single with the album announcement?
Probably one of my most anticipated albums of the year
poo poo pee poo
yeah cmon release a single please...
I don't really listen to this type of stuff anymore and I STILL love these guys. They're great at what they do and they know how to keep this sound fresh and interesting. Looking forward to this record for sure.
Stoked. Last one had some great tracks, even if it got a bit abrasive after a while. I could jam "The Blowtorch is Applied to the Sugar" forever.
I reckon Conversation Piece was great throughout, they just seem to be improving so hopefully this one will be them at the top of their game. Bit worried about the length though, only ten tracks and the articles mentions that there's a few interludes?
For some reason, I've been spinning the shit out of Conversation Piece lately. So this is definitely welcome news.
Digging: Doomsday Student - A Walk Through Hysteria Park
This will be awesome. With DGD's new material dropping also, it'll be cool to see which is better.
Rowan, I wouldn't be surprised if we had multiple 5+ minute tunes here
@Omaha I hope so, a) because Tantrum was my favourite from Conversation Piece and b) because I don't want this to be one of those frustratingly short albums
I think this will be better than the new DGD.
Also the lyrics for this are gonna kick so much ass
concept sounds swee
did anyone spot the vagina in the album art?
band is zzzzzzzzzz
Digging: Penfold - Amateurs and Professionals
they have a few moments that are interesting musically
everything they play is musically interesting
I hope this will rule. Loved Conversation Piece to death.
"With DGD's new material dropping also, it'll be cool to see which is better."
what the fuck they're not fucking dgd ugh kurt travis ruined this band conversation piece is pretty
good but fuck dgd fans
kurt didn't ruin ALLB. lol.
"what the fuck they're not fucking dgd ugh kurt travis ruined this band conversation piece is pretty
good but fuck dgd fans"
did you guys see the fuck dgd fans part
I'm a DGD fan. And a ALLB fan.
No mention of Plan B in the comments? Now that was a fucking ripper of an album.
Plan B was written and played by a very different band
won't be surprised if this whole album is spoken word
"won't be surprised if this whole album is spoken word"
but that's ridiculous to even consider
"won't be surprised if this whole album is spoken word"
you must be new to ALLB
Plan B was only made by two people, the guitarist and the vocalist, so it's only natural that the material after sounds drastically different given the member count has multiplied
A Lot Like Dance Gavin Dance Except Not Good
@XingKing I think you mean they were the only current members that were on that album. The album has a ridiculous amount of other musicians on it. It was more of a collaboration than an a band album really.
My b. Yeah, there were lots of guest musicians but the guitarist composed everything himself and just had guests come in and play what he wrote
I'm hoping for a Plan B/Conversation Piece hybrid.

Ryan's return
A life-threatening disease has only made Ryan Melendez take the reins of his life even more firmly in hand
DEL MAR — Born into the family of a top Arabian horse trainer, Ryan`Melendez didn't have long to wait before finding himself in the saddle.
"I am sure my dad had me on horses as soon as I could sit up by myself," Ryan, who'll turn 18 in July, says of Bill Melendez. "I remember riding like six or seven horses a day, and it was a lot of fun.
"He didn't always put me on the best of the best horses," he adds. "I felt like he put me on horses that were going to teach me how to learn to ride — that's probably the best thing that he could have done because to be a really good rider, I wasn't going to get there by riding just the easy horses."
His main ride, a mare named AM Liberty Parade, tried to buck off the 7-year-old Ryan in their very first horsemanship class, a 10-under test at the Scottsdale Arabian Show. They stayed together and years later, in 2014, they won an Arabian Horse Association Youth Nationals Championship in Horsemanship.
"That's my most memorable, best championship," Ryan says. "Years and years of hard work. In the beginning, she definitely was not happy with being out there. One year at Youth Nationals, she actually flipped over on me, and then we went in the class and got Top 10. I like challenges — what's the point, if you are not going to work hard for it?"
Right Price
Friends and family make for a success story at Region 1
DEL MAR — Sisters share a special bond, and when you add a horse — well, good things happen.
That's the case with Ashley and Samantha Price and Dress Blues, a trio whose history together goes back several years and whose immediate past is terrific: a fresh pair of championships and a reserve at the 2016 Arabian Horse Association Championship Show, held May 18-22 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.
The gelding was foaled on Memorial Day in the backyard of Molly Jenks, a family friend of the Price sisters and their trainer mom, Debbie Price of Priceless Arabians in ALta Loma. When Molly brought Dress Blues, named in part for her husband, a former U.S. Marine, to Priceless Arabians to present to potential buyers, Ashley was anything but in the market, as she has just lost her own horse after 13 years of riding together. However, "Trooper," as he would soon be called, turned the ehads of a couple others — namely Debbie and Samantha.

Newest Show Jumping Hall of Famer sees bright futures in West Coast
Susie Hutchison was recently elected to the Show Jumping Hall of Fame. The official induction ceremony will take place on the East Coast during the Devon Horse Show in June, but Blenheim EquiSports will honor her on the West Coast before the home crowd on June 12, at the end of the Blenheim June Series Week I Grand Prix.
The Show Jumping Hall of Fame was established in 1987 to promote the sport of show jumping and to memorialize the legends of the men, women and horses who have made great contributions to the sport.
Already in the Hunter Hall of Fame in 2015, alongside her longtime mentor and partner Jimmy Williams, and her famous hunter mount Best Bet, Hutchison is one of the infamous 'Rat Pack' that all rode with Williams. Names such as Hap Hansen, Robert Ridland, Mason Phelps, Rob Gage, Mary Chapot and Hutchison lessoned with Williams at the Flintridge Riding Club in the 1960s.

Peters and Rosamund turn heads with unveiling of new freestyle
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO — Anticipation was high as a crowd gathered for the CDI Grand Prix Freestyle at California Dreaming Productions Festival of the Horse CDI 3*/Y/J/U-25, held March 31-April 2.
All eyes were on U.S. Team veteran Steffen Peters and fan-favorite Rosamunde (Rheinlander mare Rock Forever x First Lady by Fidermark, owned by Four Winds Farm) as they unveiled a new freestyle, and the pair did not disappoint judges or spectators for a winning score of 76.243%. Finishing in second was Kathleen Raine and Breanna (Hanoverian mare Brentano II x World Queen by Weltmeyer, owned by Raine, David Wightman and Jennifer Mason) who earned 72.575% for their popular Michael Jackson-themed performance.
"V" Sheila Varian 1937-2016
ARROYO GRANDE—California's horse world lost a giant March 6 when Sheila Varian, whose passion, thoughtfulness and drive influenced a generation, passed away after a battle with cancer. She was 78.
Varian's impact on the world of Arabian breeding in the U.S. is diffi cult to exaggerate—70 percent of show horses winning today carry Varian blood, according to her ranch website, and according to Arabian Horse World magazine's statistics, Varian Arabians is the alltime leading breeder of English horses as well as the alltime leading breeder of Western horses. Nine generations of Arabians have been bred by Varian Ranch since it imported *Bachantka from Poland in 1961.
Raised on the Central Coast with a strong horse interest, she was introduced early on to the vaquero, or "Californio", tradition of western riding. A major infl uence was Sid (Mary) Spencer, owner of a ranch in Lopez Canyon where Sheila, in her teens, learned from Sid about training hackamore horses and spade bit horses and how to work cattle in the mountains.
With the assistance of her parents in 1954, she started her horse ranch. By 1963, she was raising and training horses full-time, drawn to use the vaquero-infl uenced methods of training on Arabians, a breed she thought required a smart yet gentle approach.
California invasion
Golden State Arabs, exhibitors shine brightly in Scottsdale '16
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The world's finest Arabian and Half-Arabian horses and trainers come to Westworld here each year to, among other things, test the waters for the new season. And while their miles traveled may be less than their colleagues from other parts of the continent, the prospects of California competitors proved great again this year.
The 61st annual version of the show ran Feb. 11-21 and drew more than 2,400 horses in a myriad of disciplines and events. Among the thousands of entries were the likes of venerable show barns like Stachowski Farms, established in both Ohio and San Marcos, Calif., as well as individuals and smaller operations.
California champions hailed from all types of barns — big, small and in-between, and clearly the Golden State continues to be an influential force in the breed.
Clayton Edsall and his gelding, Skeets Oak Peppy, win NRCHA `16 World's Greatest Horseman event
FORT WORTH, Texas — With two big scores in four tough events, Clayton Edsall of Oakdale earned the title of World's Greatest Horseman during the National Reined Cow Horse Association Celebration of Champions event held Feb. 12-20 at the Will Rogers Equestrian Center.
Riding his own gelding, Skeets Oak Peppy, Edsall scored a 221 to lead the herd work to set his winning pace.
"We were fortunate to up earlier (in the draw), and there were still some cattle we had picked out," he said. "Some of them got cut. Doug (Williamson), right before me, cut pretty much my whole list, so we went with some backups. Kelby (Phillips) had a good cow picked out, and it all worked out."
The NRCHA's World's Greatest Horseman competition requires the same horse-and-rider combo to compete in four events: herd work, reined work, steer stopping, and fence work.
"In the reined work, he was solid," Clayton said of "Sly." "He was a tick better in the prelims. He let me do all the maneuvers and run pretty honest."
Pursuit of perfection
With Olympic Trials approaching, Peters and Legolas appear ready
DEL MAR — As the distinctive opening bass line of "Under Pressure" rang out in the covered arena at the Del Mar Horse Park with the voiceover "Hi, I'm Legolas, let's go!", there was no doubt that Legolas 92 was back in top form as he and Steffen Peters posted the second-highest Grand Prix Freestyle score of their career at California Dreaming Productions' Dressage Affaire CDI3*/Y/J/U-25, being held March 10-13.
The veteran U.S. Dressage Team pair's winning score of 82.000% was also the best of any other American team contender in the current Olympic selection year, second only to their own career best score of 84.050% earned at the LA Winter Dressage CDI in Burbank in January.
Lots to Learn
The 'take home' for Expo Pomona attendees will be lessons learned from the best clinician line-up ever
The top equine experts grace the stages and arenas of Horse Expo Pomona each year, and this year's line-up may be the best ever. One ticket price gets you access to unlimited learning, whether you're a competitor looking for an edge or a recreational rider looking for insight into your human-horse relationship.
Clinton Anderson
Born and raised in Australia, Clinton grew up with a love of horses, and by the age of 15, was apprenticing with the best trainers in the country. In 1997, Clinton came to the U.S. where he continued pursuing his passion for horses by apprenticing under some of America's greatest trainers, teaching clinics and competing. Today, Clinton shares the Method all across the country and regularly hosts horsemanship clinics at his facility in Stephenville, Texas. He works hard to educate horse owners on how to be safe and effective while enjoying their horses. His training method is instructional, inspiring and innovative.
Craig Cameron
A native Texan, Craig Cameron, one of the original clinicians, is on the road more than 44 weeks a year covering 80,000 miles demonstrating the style of horsemanship he has perfected in the last 23 years. Called the "public defender of the horse," Craig dedicates himself to those who educate their horses by first educating themselves. At an age where most have long since retired the thought of starting colts, Craig Cameron known as "The Cowboy's Clinician," starts hundreds of horses each year; plus his four-day clinics held at his ranches in Bluff Dale, Texas, and Lincoln, New Mexico blend education with entertainment.

Tastes good and oh so healthy! I used locally grown red skinned pears and local wildflower honey. The seeds were a mixture of brown flax, golden flax and sesame seeds. Oregon-grown hazelnuts replaced walnuts. A sprinkle of cinnamon was the final touch. Be sure to cover the cereal before placing in the refrigerator or the muesli will take on other food odors! Also, I didn't think about the pears turning brown either. Maybe add a couple drops of lemon juice to the sliced pears to avoid browning...? Reviewed for Veg Tag/October.

Selhurst Park
23 September
Coventry City aim to improve on their patchy away form in South London on Saturday against a Crystal Palace side on the same number of points as them in the table.
Peter Taylor, who brings his England under-21 side to the Ricoh Arena next month, enjoyed a flying start to life as the Eagles boss before a bad run of results was ended by a 1-0 win at Norwich last Saturday.
Sky Blues midfielder Michael Doyle told the club's website: 'It is an important match for us.
'Our away form hasn't been the best and we need to go there and take something from the game.
'It's a tough place to go and we always have good battles down there so we have to get our heads down and get back in the right frame of mind.'
Palace defender Matt Lawrence: 'We need to win these home games - and we need to start on Saturday.
'I know (Coventry manager) Micky Adams from my time at Fulham, and he and his staff will have the team really well-marshalled.
'It will be a hard game, but it is one we believe we can win.'
Midfielders Carl Fletcher and Ben Watson could feature after an ankle injury and a hernia operation respectively. Tom Soares is still on the sidelines.
Palace are looking to sign Lee Hendrie on loan from Aston Villa but no deal has been done as yet.
The £2.5m deadline day signing scored his first Palace goal last week and could start this one.
'Shefki was disappointed that he wasn't playing as all strikers want to play,' said boss Peter Taylor after the Norwich game.
'But he showed a great attitude after he'd been told he was only going to be a sub.'
Coventry City boss Micky Adams has plenty of options at his disposal following Jay Tabb and David McNamee`s successful comeback from injury last week and an impressive team performance against Leeds.
Didn`t look too happy at being substituted last week but the Trinidadian star seems to be at his best when he has something to prove.
Last season`s upturn in form came ahead of the World Cup while he is now looking to see off the threat of new signing Leon McKenzie and earn a new City contract.
The corresponding fixture last season ended in a 2-0 win for Crystal Palace, their third success over the Sky Blues in little over two months following a League Cup triumph at Selhurst Park and a 4-1 romp at the Ricoh Arena.
The Eagles travel to Hull City next Saturday, while the Sky Blues entertain Plymouth Argyle.

CFS battling blaze in tough conditionsThursday January 17, 2013 - 22:33 EDT
Fire crews will work through the night in hot and windy conditions to try to contain a fire in and around Bundaleer Forest in South Australia's mid north.
The fire has burnt 2,300 hectares of mostly inaccessible terrain since it began on Wednesday night.
The blaze is travelling in a south-easterly direction, and crews are trying to prevent it from crossing RM Williams Way, which connects Jamestown and Spalding.
A wind change at about midnight is expected to push the fire away from homesteads.
More than 200 firefighters, 50 water tankers and three water bombers are on-scene and six more strike teams have been called in.
CFS state coordinator, Mark Thomason, says firefighters have spent much of the day trying to establish control lines.
"Rate of spread is a lot slower in the forest area because the wind speed's been reduced because of that vegetation," he said.
"It's only when we get into grassland at this stage where we'll see rapid fire spread.
"We've identified a number of properties in the south-eastern and eastern flank of the fire where some work is being done to re-enforce those assets.
"It's very hilly and thick vegetation, and I guess it's a concern to us that if fire gets out under those strong wind conditions then we're going to have a large fire on our hands."
'Worst ever'
Local farmer and Mayor of the Northern Areas Council, Denis Clark, has been helping firefighters since last night.
"RM Wlliams Way is between us and the fire. You never say you're safe but hopefully we can get it before it crosses that RM Williams Way. It's the worst fire I've ever seen in the Jamestown area," he said.
"It's probably only about the southern 20 per cent of the forest that's been affected at this stage but if the wind changes that will change dramatically," he said.
CFS incident controller Peter Smallacombe says stock losses are expected in grazing land to the west of the forest.
"The local farmers have moved a lot out overnight but obviously there will be some that we will find that didn't quite get there," he said.
"We have been in asset protection overnight on the southern boundary of the fire. We've been doing back burns in and around those areas."
