985 Tasting Notes
Tea of the afternoon…..
I have not had this one in the cupboard for a very long while, but have been considering getting the bagged version of this for travelling for some time now. Since it was only about $3 to get 2 oz added onto my shop order, I went for it.
I had forgotten how lovely this is. Notes of berries, vanilla, and bergamot on a fabulous black tea base. So much better than Marco Polo in my book, but kind of similar. I will thoroughly enjoy these few ounces and order bags for travel at some point. Yum!
Usual mug method.
Tea with lunch…..
Today, lunch was a ham sandwich on Italian bread with colby jack cheese, mayo, and a ripe tomato. And Palm Court Tea.
Assam, Keemun, Ceylon, and Oolong. Compared to my Supreme Breakfast this morning, it is definitely lower on the malty taste, but there is a bready taste that comes from the Ceylon in this blend. I am also getting a toastiness that is not present in the Supreme Breakfast, and I am guessing that comes from the Oolong. All of these flavors are seamlessly woven together in a well rounded cup of tea. I am pretty sure this will not make it to a breakfast tea for me, but it is still fabulous. I need the super punch of maltiness in the morning.
On an interesting note, my receipt from the Millerton Shop noted this tea as Palm Court (Titanic). I think that means this is the same as Titanic Blend.
Usual mug method.
Rated just a tad higher than Titanic because I like it better in loose leaf!
Tea of the morning…..
I purchased another round of 2 oz samples from the Harney Millerton Shop. I love getting tea in 2 oz amounts for sampling. The samples on their website work, but I prefer having a little more time to make my decision about purchasing larger quantities. Sarah was the one who filled my order, and was the one who handled my email correspondence. She was very helpful and very professional. There were questions I sent to the main website that were more easily answered by her at the shop, and I appreciate the extra effort to get me an answer.
Skip this part if you want….it is my mini-rant about online customer service in general. Not specific to Harney. (I was asking about the Black Jasmine and when it might return to stock. I have not yet gotten an answer from the web form inquiry, which I am guessing the person who handles those questions did not know the answer. Sarah asked Michael Harney for me. Sometimes it is knowing who to ask. Also, I wish that whoever answers the web form understands that an 'I don't know' answer is perfectly acceptable! Just answer the inquiry rather than leaving someone hanging! I often wonder if people who have worked customer service in person realize that there is a different way of handling service by correspondence. You need to answer every single email in a timely fashion. If the customer does not get an email response in a few days, it seems like he is being ignored rather than his issue being looked into or it does not have a direct answer….. The "in person" equivalent from the customer's perspective: You are working the counter, and they are the only person standing there having asked a question, and you are pretending like you did not hear them. )
I am in a spot where I am almost out of my 8 oz. of Malachi McCormick that is my favorite breakfast beverage, so I decided to try a few more options for my breakfast tea of choice before diving into another 8-16 oz. Supreme Breakfast sounded like it would be a good contender as it has higher quality teas of the same varieties that are in my beloved Malachi. I also ordered a few ounces of Eight at the Fort, Palm Court(Titanic)*, Organic Assam, and Irish Breakfast. Let the trials begin!
Tippy Assam and Hao Ya B. This is really good. It is a more refined version of Malachi McCormick. The leaves are finer and I can see the golden tips in comparison to Malachi. The taste is smooth and malty with a touch of smoke and cocoa, plus a velvety mouthfeel. I am glad I have more of this to figure out if I want this one or Malachi. Or maybe 8 oz of each…..which kind of defeats the purpose of trying to simplify and pick one….. I just hope I don't end up with 5 winners plus the Malachi.
Usual teapot method with a 3 minute steep.
*Surprisingly, my receipt listed it this way, so I am guessing that means Palm Court and Titanic are the same blend. I am so not sorry I bought the Titanic Blend, though. The tin is so pretty.
2 Emails I sent to Harney were never answered. One concerned my credit card which was used by someone else right after placing an order with them.
Sometimes I wonder if a web form even works when I don't get answered…. I work in online CS and I see how the customer feels about non-answered emails because some of our customers post on an outside forum kind of similar to this. There does need to be a respect for business hours, but all emails should be answered even if it is just to say for example "we have received your email. Unfortunately we don't have an estimated time of restocking of x at this point. Mr. Harney is looking for a tea that meets his standards and has not found any." How hard is that?
So sorry about the credit card thing. Are you sure it could be traced back to them? I have called a few times and gotten great service. If it was as serious as the credit card, I probably would have called.
Electronic CS is a young field and the rules of in person/by phone don't apply. They need to spend more time on it!
I totally agree with "I wish that whoever answers the web form understands that an 'I don't know' answer is perfectly acceptable! … it seems like he is being ignored rather than his issue being looked into or it does not have a direct answer." My guess is that when they (an online business) get an electronic communication (email, webform, etc) that they can't answer right away, they think it's better to not answer it (and then, the world being 'busy' as it is, my guess is they don't track it to enable them to get back to it at some later date) rather than admit, in same way, shape, or form: "I DON'T KNOW". I have been a teacher and a trainer for much of my life, and it's hard to admit it when I can't answer a student's question; but I have found, "I don't know, but I will look into it and get back to you." to be a much better 'answer' (and then to follow up with them, even if the response is, "I'm sorry, I looked but I could not find anything. You may want to try looking here …") than just letting the question drop. The customer/student may not initially like an answer like, "I don't know," but they know at least you were honest (and if you followed up, you made an attempt to find the answer).
Iced tea of the day……
I made this one by my usual iced tea method. No sweetener, because I am weird in that I only like hot tea sweetened. So, I am surprised at the sweetness in this one! It must be the licorice root. I get sweet, lemony, tart, and a slight bit of mint all rolled up into one refreshing drink. (Luckily the hibiscus in this one is very light and not the main player in the flavor profile!) I am a little concerned, though. It is almost 7pm and there is ginseng in this. Am I going to be up all night again?
I will definitely continue to make this one iced. It is yummy!
Second tea of the morning… (SRP #25)
Man, I am dragging to day. I was hoping that my fist pot of Keemun would wake me up, but no go. In fact, this one is not helping, either.
As far as the flavor goes, it is good enough. I don't think this will make the purchase list. The bergamot is strong in this one, but I guess since they were aiming for extra, they hit it in my book. I agree with Cheryl that you can taste the tea in there, but just a little. It is pretty much bergamot tea. Of what I taste in the base, it is a good basic black. I might have to sample their Original Earl Grey next.
Usual teapot method.
Tea of the morning…. (SRP #25)
If you like a smokier Keemun, this is the one for you. The leaves are on the short side, kind of like something that is a BOP. Although it is not smokin' like a Lapsang Souchong, it does have a notable smokey character that is perfect for the morning's wake me up cup. It has a chocolate note in there, too, and a fullish mouthfeel similar to coffee. I am considering this one, because the smokiness kind of reminds me of my F&M Keemun that I loved while I had it. It is organic, which is a bonus, plus it is a bargain at just under $6 for 125 grams.
Usual teapot method with a 3 minute steep.
More tea in the afternoon…..
I have several wrapped bags of this in my stash, so I guess this is a test to see if it will be added to the bagged tea for traveling or edited. I have really only prepared this as a chai in the past, so I really needed to test it as a standard brew in a cup.
It will be saved! But not replaced. I do have to say that as far as bagged tea goes, it is good. Convenience coupled with decent tea are a must when I travel, and this will work. There is a solid black tea base with notes of cinnamon and cardamom. It is not a super spicy blend, but it is very warming and cozy.
The key to bagged tea for me is to be sure I am using the right amount of water (which is 6-8 oz for most bags, and 12 oz for most sachets) and a shorter steep than I would for loose leaf since the teas in the bags are likely more broken up than loose leaf. I know in my pre-loose leaf days, I would use almost twice the water that one bag could flavor well. Ick.
Tea of the afternoon….(SRP #24)
I added this one to my order because it is an Earl Grey with a Keemun base and one of my favorite Earl Greys is similar. I also love rose teas, so I figured it was worth a shot. I am definitely not disappointed! This is super yummy. The notes of rose and bergamot are a little on the strong side, but it really works with the slightly chocolatey and subtly smokey tea base. Such a perfect afternoon tea! It is a little heavier of a tea than the Rosy Earl Grey from Teas Etc. and I really like them both. If I had to pick one of the two…..well, I don't, so I won't go there! I may have to order more of this one and the Earl Grey Jasmine Monkey King…… Not sure how soon that will be, but it is looking like it might be May 31st-ish….. If I still like it by then, I will probably cave.
Usual mug method.
Edit to add…..after a few cups, I decided that I like my other Earl Grey rose blend better. There is not enough cupboard space for two versions!
Tea at elevensies…… (SRP #23)
Mmmmm. Not sure I expected much from this one, but I like it. I think this will probably be in the cupboard someday since it comes from a place I regularly shop and it is currently only $6.80 for 125 grams. (Hmm….I wonder what it will taste like with a little jasmine…..yes, there seems to be a theme running though my tea selections as of late.) Bright bergamot on a smoth green base. Not a hint of bitterness.
Usual mug method, 3 minutes at about 185.
How does this compare bergamotwise to the Empire Tea version? Upton's regular EG says it is a light English version. I like my bergamot with guts.
I would not call it light. I like a heft to my bergamot, and this one fits me. I am thinking it will be my replacement for Earl Green at Empire. I am also trying to cup back on extraneous orders. There are times when I order from a place for a single tea, and that seems kind of silly unless the tea in question is unmatchable. Earl Green from ETS is a wonderful tea, but I am not sure it is so much more wonderful than this one….
Second tea of the morning….. (SRP #22)
This is pretty good. I love coconut teas. I can tell this has a different tea base to the Black Jasmine Cream. This tea base complements the flavor rather than competing with it. I will definitely enjoy what I have in this sample. Sweet and slightly nutty.
Usual mug method.

I thought I would make a Blue Star banner for my nephews that are in the service, but have not deployed yet. Looking thru the different sites, some of them list sizes, others say there is no specific limit to how big, only to use a certain ratio. I thought I remember reading one pattern that made them about 20x24 or so, to hang in a window, but can only find ones that are like 8.5 x16, 8.5 x 11, etc... which isn't the same ratio's...
Is there someone out there that has made these by a specific pattern that can help me out? Thanks!
Blue Star Banner ????

That was a very interesting article about the history of the Blue Star Flag. Learn something new everday. Thank you Thunder.
I have two "single" blue star banners hanging in my front window..would like to eventually make one with two stars.....
so I'm assuming that the finished size isn't that important...... one site says to keep in relevant proportions to our national flag, another says 8.5 x16, an additional one says 8.5x21. Personally, 8.5" wide is more like the size of a sheet of copy paper... So if I make it bigger to display in a window, it's not going to matter? That's my question.....
I wouldn't think it would matter Kathy, after all our flag can be any size.
Thanks Karen, my niece has 2 boys in the family and lots of veterans. She was wanting the Blue Star, but I think I'm going to design her a flag wall hanging to go over the fireplace along with pics and medals of the Dads, Grandpas, nephews, sons, etc. that she wants to include. Her Blue Star will go in one of her windows to honor her sons.. I think I'll make it about the same size as one of those 'banners' that are hung outside of houses that have birdhouses, or flowers on.
Thunder, thanks for the links. Seems like it's like everything else, even though the 'official' sites have their rules, most of it is open to interpretation to the readers. I suppose if I offend someone that walks by my house, that notices I've made something too big or not quite right, they'll let me know...!
I can't imagine anyone being offended by a banner honoring service persons no matter the size or shape.
I'm still amazed that living right next to Ft Meade, in a predominately military neighborhood, and driving on post I have never seen one of these.
I to am amazed. I live 5 min from military base and the first time I see these is on a quilting thread??????
I'd inquire at the Legion or VFW. Just to hear what they have to say. I heard of it several years ago....
It must not be a MD/DC thing!!!!!

It is sad that a small gesture as to hang a star banner has been forgottten.
Our family hangs them. Sadly I will be soon for an honorary grandson. and a yellow ribbon too. Only sad because I hate that our military has to do this. Proud that they do.
they may be discouraging the use of blue stars in the window, on or near the military posts......as it is a "sign" that the man of the house is away.
when my son was stationed at FT Campbell, a few years back.....they were all told to tell their wives and girl friends not to put up stars, or yellow ribbons, and such...as it was a "welcome sign" for thieves!!! ( how sad )
But when we went to Ft Bragg, at Christmas time ...there were a lot of houses with ribbons, and / or stars. and A lot of Welcome Home signs...seems lots of units coming and going from there all the time....
I have stars in my windows, and fly my flag 24/7/365 !!! when ever my son gets deployed, I put a ribbon ( red, whites, blues, and yellows ) on my fence every day that he is out of country, may seem silly to some....but it comforts me, to have a private moment, each day , for my son and all the other troops in harms way, And I wear RED every Friday. we all do what we gotta do.....
Same here Thunder, it is discouraged show any signs if you are living of Base (but close enough to a base), to protect against thieves or worse (if the wife was without husband). But on Base we were all in the same boat, so we did tie ribbons.
Not silly at all, the people that think that way have never had a loved one deployed. If it helps you to cope and comforts you that is ALL that counts !!
Hope your son comes soon home safe and sound.
Hugs Thea
I just decided to make one and not worry about the size. Supposedly, the American Legion started the posting on the Banners, but now it's not on their site. I get a 404 Error, can't find the page when I use the link provided on a Search, and have gone thru their site, without locating any info. The Military Moms site has info, and a couple others, but all with different sizes, so unless the quilt police arrive or a Military rep. knocks on her door, my niece is getting a nice size banner to hang wherever she wants.... There are too many people who think that hanging banners or flags outside your home is unnecessary and cause lots of legal problems. I suppose they don't have family in the military or give them the honor they deserve.............. oooops, I'm on my soapbox again, sorry folks!
Thanks to all for the replies!
I don't think it is because they don't care Kizmo - I think it is more out of fear. This world has changed so drastically and they hesitate to invite trouble. It sickens me to think that something so meaningful to a family would be an invite to a burglar or worse. Love seems to have gone out the window in place of fear in this country and it is so sad.....
Kathy, this is from the American Legion site.
Thanks Linda! Working on finishing my niece's today, her son is home for a few weeks before going out again.
Good for you Kathy. I think the thought and meaning are far more important than worrying about exact size and/or colors. I will bring comfort to your niece and honors her son and that is what matters most.

The neighborhood is safe and offers several parks, including the Jackie Robinson Park, one avenue East of the apartment; and the recently built Riverbank State Park, embedded in Riverside Park which runs along the Hudson River the length of Hamilton Heights, and is 3 blocks West of the apartment. The community derives its name from U.S. Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, who lived the last two years of his life in the area when it was still largely farmland; specifically, he lived in what is now known as Hamilton Grange National Monument on 141st street, between St Nicholas and Convent Avenue. Historic Hamilton Heights comprises of - The Hamilton Heights Historic District, which is a national historic district in Hamilton Heights, New York, New York that consists of 192 contributing residential rowhouses, apartment buildings, and churches built between about 1886 and 1931. Most are three and four story brick rowhouses set behind raised stone terraces. The three churches within the district are St. Luke's, the Convent Avenue Baptist Church, and St. James Presbyterian Church. Architectural styles include Queen Anne, Romanesque, and Beaux-Arts - Sugar Hill Historic District Extension, is a neighborhood in the northern part of Hamilton Heights, which itself is a sub-neighborhood of Harlem. The neighborhood is defined by 155th Street to the north, 145th Street to the south, Edgecombe Avenue to the east, and Amsterdam Avenue to the west.[3] The name originated in the 1920s, when the area became a popular place to live for wealthy African Americans. Named to identify the "sweet life" in Harlem, it was a popular residential area of rowhouses for wealthy African Americans during the Harlem Renaissance, including W. E. B. Du Bois, Thurgood Marshall, Adam Clayton Powell Jr., and Duke Ellington. Langston Hughes wrote about its relative affluence in relation to Harlem in his essay "Down and Under in Harlem" published in The New Republic in 1944. Sugar Hill/Hamilton Heights are both designated as Landmarks by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission and The National Register of Historic Places. One of the highest hills in Hamilton Heights slopes up from the Hudson River at 155th Street, and contains the Trinity Church Cemetery.

What makes him such a great conductor from a player's perspective?
As a flautist, I have played under a fair few conductors in my time, in ensembles ranging from youth bands to touring opera groups to semi-professional orchestras. And the conductors have been as varied as the repertoire. There have been the cocky upstarts, fresh out of college, whose dramatic, over-the-top gestures are akin only to their massively inflated egos; the nervous amateurs who begin rehearsals by apologising for their own shortcomings only to blossom in confidence during the performance itself; those whose detailed-to-the-point-of-boring rehearsal techniques give way to something fresh and spontaneous during a concert; and many more besides.
But audiences will often judge conductors rather differently. A concert experience may be thrilling for the listener, but terrifying for the players. I'm reminded of a performance a few years ago of Valery Gergiev conducting the London Symphony Orchestra in Tchaikovsky's Symphony Pathétique. For those of us sitting in the Royal Albert Hall, it was exhilarating, edge-of-your seat stuff; the players' faces, however, told a different story. And it wasn't surprising – with a lack of any clear downbeat, wavery gestures and a constant veering away from the score, it must have been a case of deep breaths, beta blockers and "don't look up".
Which brings me to Vladimir Jurowski, who conducted a terrific Liszt Faust Symphony at last night's Proms. Now here is one conductor I would like to play under – and not just because he cuts a rather dashing figure on the podium. In person, he can appear rather timid, reticent and faltering. At the helm of the London Philharmonia Orchestra, however, he morphs into something else altogether. For a start, he communicates with his players in a very down-to-earth way – the aside glances to the second violins, the wry smiles to the percussion section, the encouraging looks at the woodwind, all suggest that he has an affection and respect for his musicians that is clearly reciprocated. This is not a conductor who views himself as being superior to the mere mortals of the orchestra – he is one of them, and they respond to this attitude in a hugely positive way.
Then there's his technique, which is pinpoint accurate, clear, unwavering – yet he's not afraid to make gestures that, frankly, can look a little odd and ungainly at times in order to achieve the sound he wants. And then there's that indefinable "something" that great conductors have – his ability, even while communing with his players on a most human level, to transcend technique and occasion to tap into something spiritual, kinetic, profoundly moving. Listening to the Faust Symphony, I was able to manoeuvre my ears away from the technical aspects such as intonation, phrasing and projection – all of which were, by the way, spot on – and be transported to a higher plane.
The four movements of the symphony were packed with every imaginable emotion – swagger, restlessness, euphoria, romance, yearning, devilry, and, ultimately, spiritual redemption. The players must have been wrung out – but they didn't look it. And neither did Jurowski. As the final bars approached, he was as sprightly and committed as 70 minutes earlier. He even had the good grace to retain his composure as a mobile phone rang out over the tenor's exquisite solo in the final movement – or maybe he was just too wrapped up in the music to notice.
An industry colleague of mine mentioned last night that her friend has been banned by her partner from mentioning the "J" word – her crush is, it seems, bordering on obsession. I have a feeling that events in our household may be about to take a similar turn.

About Kale Williams
After serving in the Navy during World War II, Kale Williams became a pacifist and a tenacious advocate for human rights and nonviolent social change. He joined the Chicago office of the American Friends Service Committee, where he challenged racial segregation and helped address injustice in Chicago's low-income communities, the need for assistance to Native Americans in the Southwest, famine relief in the Nigeria-Biafra civil war, and opposition to the Vietnam War.
In Chicago, he worked with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to secure fair-housing opportunities for all citizens regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, or income. After the 1966 open housing marches, Williams co-founded the Leadership Council for Metropolitan Open Communities, where he served as executive director for over 20 years. After service there, he was invited to Loyola University Chicago as a visiting professor of applied ethics and later was appointed the senior scholar in residence at Loyola's Center for Urban Research and Learning (CURL). He served in that position for more than 10 years and inspired numerous students and faculty. In addition to teaching and writing, he coordinated the Chicago Freedom Movement 40-year anniversary events, which examined the movement's legacy and unfulfilled dream of a fully just and inclusive city.

New Super Smash Bros. character to be revealed on Monday
Nintendo has plans to reveal a brand new Super Smash Bros. character next week, series director Masahiro Sakurai announced on Miiverse today.
Rather than unveiling the character through a plain ol' Nintendo Direct broadcast, Nintendo will be hosting a livestream on the official Super Smash Bros. website. It will begin at 7:00am U.S. Pacific Time (10am U.S. Eastern, 4pm European Central Time). Unfortunately, there were no hints or clues as to who this character could be.
"Looks like we're nearing the bottom of the stash of new challenger videos that we've made," Sakurai added. "Like always, we put a lot of effort into it, so I hope you'll enjoy watching it live."
Nintendo has already posted the livestream to their site, and you can find it embedded below. All that's there right now though is a countdown to the time of the reveal. Make sure to check back on Monday for the announcement.
Check out the full Super Smash Bros. roster -- well, what's been announced so far -- here. Super Smash Bros. is set to release for 3DS on October 3, followed by the Wii U version this holiday season.

Israel Halts Removal of West Bank Roadblocks After Army Objects
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will announce a series of steps at the Sharm el-Sheikh summit today to bolster Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and the emergency government headed by Salam Fayad.
The summit hosted by Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak will also be attended by Jordan's King Abdullah as well as Abbas.
"We must prevent Abbas from taking steps backward, in spite of the growing pressure on him to resume the partnership with Hamas," a senior political source in Jerusalem said yesterday.
Shin Bet security service chief Yuval Diskin warned the cabinet that "it is not inconceivable that in a few weeks we will find ourselves faced with a Mecca B agreement." Diskin was referring to the Hamas-Fatah unity government deal mediated by Saudi Arabia in February in Mecca.
In Israel, yesterday's statement by Saudi Foreign Minister, Prince Saud al-Faisal, that his country will no longer mediate between Fatah and Hamas, was well received.
Olmert will present Abbas with a package of benefits that the cabinet has authorized. At this stage the package does not include the lifting of roadblocks and other restrictions on Palestinian movement.
In their reports yesterday to a meeting of Olmert, Foreign Ministry Tzipi Livni and Defense Minister Ehud Barak, most security chiefs opposed lifting the roadblocks and recommended that the travel restrictions remain unchanged until it is possible to better evaluate security conditions in the West Bank.
The security chiefs said they are concerned about Hamas' plans to carry out suicide bombings and that they consider the restrictions on Palestinian movement in the West Bank to be the most efficient way to prevent this.
Barak asked for more time to evaluate the situation.
During yesterday's meeting with the security heads, the prime minister showed frustration: "We have a crazy cycle here. If you do not lift the roadblocks, Abbas will head back into the arms of Hamas - and you are told that you did him wrong. On lifting the roadblocks, you [the security chiefs] say to keep the situation frozen. We must find a median path."
The security chiefs expressed concern that during his visit to Washington last week the prime minister had promised the Bush administration that he would lift the roadblocks.
A political source said Olmert had promised President George W. Bush that he would examine this possibility.
At the conclusion of yesterday's deliberations, Olmert said he would like to ease the travel restrictions on the Palestinians, especially between the cities in the West Bank. But he also said he hopes to refrain from telling the security establishment which roadblocks to lift.
Olmert said a team headed by Barak should evaluate the situation and make recommendations on which roadblocks to remove.
Israel will undertake the following to bolster Abbas:
b Release of PA funds collected by Israel in the form of customs duties and VAT. The funds will be released in a number of installments in "agreement with the PA emergency government" and while ensuring that none of the money is given to militant groups.
b Continuation of humanitarian assistance to the Gaza Strip - water, electricity, food, medicines, medical services and the opening of the Kerem Shalom crossing (which connects Israel, Egypt and Gaza) to the passage of people and cargo.
b Reissuing VIP cards to Palestinians, and expanding the permits to Palestinian businessmen wishing to cross into Israel.
b Allowing the transfer of armored cars to the Fatah forces in the West Bank.
b Renewed security cooperation in the West Bank.
b Resumption of the work of the combined security committee - Israel, Egypt, PA, U.S. - particularly in efforts to curtail arms smuggling to the Gaza Strip from Sinai.

Fairfax, Virginia: College Town with 18th-Century Buildings near Washington, DC
The city of Fairfax sits in northeast Virginia's uppermost corner, across the Potomac from Washington, DC (it takes about 30 minutes to drive from one to the other). Fairfax provides a pleasant, subdued contrast to the big city. In fact, Forbes ranked Fairfax third among America's Top 25 Towns to Live Well. It's home to George Mason University and several historical buildings, especially in the Old Town district. Here, you can see the original Fairfax County Courthouse, which was built at the turn of the 18th century.
Today, many of these centuries-old structures have been repurposed to house museums and art galleries. Fairfax Station Railroad Museum occupies a depot that played a significant role in transporting medical supplies during the Civil War. At this kid-friendly museum, you can check out old railway lanterns, model trains, and old-fashioned cabooses. The Old Town Hall has been transformed into a gallery by the Fairfax Art League. Head to the Old Town Plaza and you can browse boutiques or dine on tapas at local wine bistros.

In honor of the TMC's 75th anniversary, this year's Festival included premieres of fifteen newly-commissioned works, including Saturday evening's premiere of PARMA Artist Yehudi Wyner's meditative "Sonnet: In the Arms of Sleep," a setting of an early poem by the Massachusetts-born poet Elizabeth Bishop (1911-79) for soprano (Lucy Shelton), two mezzo-soprani, flute, clarinet, harp, violin, viola, and cello. This concert preluded a BSO performance of Mozart and Mahler later that night.
It was hard not to feel a bit humbled by the wealth of talented composers and musicians who came together for this festival; I hesitate to mention a handful of others for fear of leaving out a lot of really great talent, but here are some more of my personal favorite highlights from the festival:
- Thursday night's world premiere of the late Gunther Schuller's "Magical Trumpets" for a wide assortment of horns from piccolo trumpet to bass trumpet, resulting in an even-wider assortment of evolving brass textures
- Marti Epstein's Sibelius-influenced "Quartet" for English horn and strings, with Robert Sheena on English horn (who's performance of "The Swan of Tuonnela" originally helped to inspire the piece)
- Andy Vores's "Fabrication 15: Amplification" inspired by a once overheard piano rag practice session while walking through Harvard
- Saturday afternoon's world premiere of Steven Mackey's "Madrigal" for female voice and percussion quartet featuring text written by Mackey himself
- Augusta Read Thomas's highly-rhythmic "Selene - Moon Chariot Rituals" for combined string quartet and percussion quartet
- Gerald Levinson's "Here of amazing most now," 12 instrumental miniatures, during the last of which, upon the utterance of the word "thunder," the sky responded with some thunder of its own (luckily this was the last piece of the concert)

Berkeley, California (Friday, September 03, 2010) - The City of Berkeley Police Department (BPD) will be holding another Driving Under the Influence (DUI) checkpoint on Friday, September 3, 2010. The checkpoint will be held at Telegraph Avenue and Stuart Street. A team of officers will be at the site from 8:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m. This checkpoint is one of a series of DUI checkpoints BPD will hold in 2010. The program has been funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, (OTS) through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
BPD Motor Officer Jennifer Coats said, "DUI checkpoints are another one of the many endeavors that the Berkeley Police Department uses to improve the safety of our city and enhance the quality of life of the community. DUI checkpoints are also a valuable tool in educating the community about the dangers of drunk driving. Checkpoints contribute to the ongoing fight to reduce impaired driving and fatality collisions involving drunk drivers."Alcohol Impaired Driving Fatalities (fatalities in crashes involving a least one driver or motorcycle operator with a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of 0.08 or greater) decreased 9.1% from 1,132 in 2007 to 1,029 in 2008. California's alcohol-impaired driving fatality rate dropped from 0.34 in 2007 to 0.31 in 2008. California Statewide DUI arrests increased 5.4% from 203,866 in 2007 to 214,811 in 2008. According to the Department of Motor Vehicles, this number represents the most DUI arrests since 1993.During the checkpoint, if officers find drivers under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, those drivers will be arrested. BPD's goal is to continue to send a clear message to those who are considering driving a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol and/or drugs:Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest. BPD also urges the community to help keep our roadways safe by calling 9-1-1 or (510) 981-5911 from your cell phone to report suspected impaired drivers.

Rowand begins Game 1 vs. Braves on bench
Rowand begins Game 1 vs. Braves on bench
SAN FRANCISCO -- Despite Aaron Rowand's success against Braves Game 1 starter Derek Lowe, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said he didn't give much thought to starting the struggling outfielder in Thursday's opener of the National League Division Series. As expected, Andres Torres started in center and Cody Ross was in right. "I know Aaron has numbers, but Aaron hasn't gotten his at-bats," Bochy said. "It's tough for a guy coming off the bench. In his last at-bat he did hit a home run for us, but Torres is going out there every day and Ross has been swinging well."
Rowand entered Thursday hitting .478 (11-for-23) against Lowe in his 10-year career. Rowand's numbers against Lowe and Game 3 starter Tim Hudson (.381, 8-for-21), as well as his postseason experience, were a key reason Bochy decided to have Rowand on the 25-man NLDS roster despite him going through the worst season of his career. Although Rowand didn't start, Bochy said he feels as though the Giants are a better team with Rowand on the roster, especially against pitchers such as Lowe. "It's nice to have a player like Aaron Rowand, who does have numbers off him, if I need him off the bench," Bochy said.

Might this be nice? Or is it wrong?(83 Posts)
Namechanged for this, as I'm not sure if I am being nice or not.
I've been single for 18mths, dated a bit, but not really clicked with anyone, well, there was one but he was not really interested in a relationship, or seeing me more than every 3 weeks
for sex
But, one man, I met on the dating site 6mths ago. He's a lovely man, but I didn't feel the 'I fancy you' spark, so I friendzoned him. We still went out every couple of weeks to see a band or for a drink, he's been to my house (brought his guitar, we had the best night), and I to his lovely clean tidy but bohemian flat.
So the crux of it is, I slept with him last night. I still don't feel that mad insane lust spark, but he is such a lovely, lovely man. And it was great.
He's not conventionally attractive - and please don't flame me for being honest, this is what I am struggling with: He is short and quite overweight
as am I but and all my previous partners have been footballers quite attractive.
But I like his mind, he's doing a PhD, and we can talk for hours about everything. He likes the same films, music, tv, politics, lifestyle as me, and he really really likes me.
I need to lose some weight and have decided to join a gym - he's joining with me, I can't help thinking about how much nicer it will be when he is slimmer. I feel as shallow as a fucking teaspoon.
He's supposed to be coming over for dinner on Monday (we are both busy til then)
What do I DO?? Help me wise vipers.
Enjoy his company and see what happens next...
well, yes I have been so far. But I don't want to hurt him. He's very keen, and honest and sweet. Should I be honest with him? I was thinking of asking him if we can take it slow? But how does that work?
Why would you hurt him? Would you be using him? He sounds very nice. Do you want to sleep with him again? He might be hurt if you don't want to and I don't really see how you could be friends if you mean go out with him but not sleep with him when you already have. and you liked it.
You do sound a bit shallow as if you mean you are ashamed he isnt fit, and your friends see you- but if they mock as he isnt skinny and you take their side, he is better off without you. Maybe he has had a few too many nights in with a pie as he's been single?
You know, footballers when they retire ain't so hot sometimes, always on about the match and growing a beer belly. And thinking they are attractive to under 25's in clubs. You, on the other hand would be with someone who liked you for you, not what you look like, and really, that is much better
Give him a chance, it's early days and I guess he is finding his way with you too.
Just think about this if he were writing this about you....she's really nice but she's a bit overweight, etc etc, how would you feel?
Looks fade, friendship can last forever. You obviously feel something sexual for this man as you slept with him and you aren't saying it was a horrible mistake.
Take it slow, enjoy his company.....the best lovers are the ones that are great friends too
"I was thinking of asking him if we can take it slow? But how does that work?"
Be up front. For all you know he may be thinking exactly the same thing about you... 'not my usual type but any port in a storm'. Everyone's a grown-up.
@ too many nights in with a pie as he's been single
Sounds as if you've scoffed a few too many pies as well. Was the sex good? If so, a spark may ignite at some point.
I do want to sleep with him again, as I said it was really lovely.
Ashamed of him? No, my friends are all shapes and sizes and possibly much nicer than me
As I said, we are joining the gym together... But this makes me feel weird. My STBEx made me go to the gym and constantly criticised my weight. Am I projecting?
And yes, the
incredibly hot footballers are bloody dull and vacuous, and I don't want that ever again... I'm clear on that.
I wouldn't be surprised at anyone writing that about me, I'm fun but a bit fat. But I now he wouldn't, he says I'm beautiful
He's coming over to mine on Monday to watch a film. Normally it would just be a film, but now it is 'film and cuddle'. I like a cuddle and it's been ages since I had a nice one from someone who is actually interested.
Do I just go with it and make no promises?
What promises are you expected to make? You're adults meeting up by mutual consent and with mutual intent to please yourselves.
Just stay off the pies
Oh Cogito I'm glad you are here :D But he says (ok, he had had a few, and I was sober) that he might be in love with me and he thinks I'm beautiful. And he is a good honest man. This is why I am being so cautious
well I was till I boffed him last night
He knows EVERYTHING. About every date I've had in the last 6mths, as we were/are friends (this is why I also know he is a good guy, never slagged an ex off etc) and all of my
shady relationship history
izzy Deffo been at the pies We finally bonded over a post beer kebab last night... The sex WAS good. I wanna 'nother go...
Enjoy it!
Dont make any promises and be honest with him as he is with you.
You never know .....,,,
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Blimey he sounds lovely. If you chuck him out, send him my way will you? Love short, furry, affectionate, musical types with a GSOH... I bet you're still with him in 20 years time and I bet neither of you lose an ounce...
My gran once said to me, "always marry a man you can have a good conversation with, because when you're old and your body has seen better days, conversation is all you have".
I wasn't instantly attracted to my DP. He is the total opposite of what I "look for" in a man, but we went on a few dates and he was so sensitive & loving, and we can talk for hours and not get bored of each other.
A man that is trustworthy, loving and loves you for you is certainly worth giving it a chance. Stay honest with each other & time will tell if it's right or not. He sounds lovely
He sounds lovely and you didn't have beer goggles on, which is good. Take the compliments, as he clearly meant it, he might be the kind of guy who says I love you really easily which is better than some ice man who has to have a gun t his head.
What DVD are you going to watch? Or try to watch before christening the sofa? Is he bringing it, or pot luck on the telly? I bet you guys will have way to much fun together doing couple things you both like to make it to the gym ever.
He is lovely
I thought you were all going to flame me for being a horrible bitch.
As it is, I can't bloody wait til Monday
LavenderHoney I've got Ted on DVD, that we meant to go and see in the cinema, but never got round to. It's not terribly romantic is it? But the TV option is The Walking Dead... Maybe we are not terribly romantic
Your username is Wantsomethingnice
Sounds like you have it!
Enjoy it for what it is. If he wants to move things on then you can talk about it.
Personally, I think 'sparks' come in a variety of ways. Maybe you didn't get the instant butterflies but it could very well be that you have something very real and long-lasting instead. Plus the sex was good so it's a win-win!
Let yourself enjoy it!
You can't wait til Monday...there's your answer
I was not bowled over by DH when we first met.....it took a year for us to get together properly!
we've been together nigh on 20 years and now I STILL get a fluttery tummy sometimes when I look at him even though it wasn't like that to start with.
Sometimes things take time to grow - but sometimes it's worth it.
Have fun and see what happens.
Aw op, I like the term "slow burner". He sounds lovely. My wife is my best friend. She isn't my normal "type" either. All of my ex's were very different. But "ex" is the important word here. I never married any of them! We have been together five years, have two great children and are stupidly happy. She does my head in(two women with pmt at one time can be bad) but my god she makes me laugh and feel loved every single day. Let him break the mould and see how it looks. Goodluck!
Firstly - that is lovely to hear, Les. Particular when we all hear so many sad ad awful stories on here.
He sounds intelligent, good in bed and fun. I hope it works out for you. Good men are hard to find. Good-looking men are easy to find...they are the one walking down the street gazing at themselves in shop windows.....
If you are looking forward to seeing him again, for whatever reason, then this is a good sign. You don't have to make life changing decisions now, just enjoy this, don't lie about anything (you are not I know) and see where it goes, I think it may have legs and that you are already starting to see him differently (and if not, you can find that out later down the line).
Been in exactly the same dilema as you a long time ago, and I felt terrible about it too.
I subconciously changed my thinking because he was absolutely lovely - it was his mind that I loved and not his looks.
However, wasn't too long before I started to see beauty in his looks too, particularly his eyes, an expression, his lovely laugh.
I am quite tall, slim etc., he was just a smidge taller, and overweight with a terrible dress sense, but what a personality - intelligent, witty, never boring, just a lovely person. We just clicked/moulded. (Btw changed his dress sense).
He sounds absolutely lovely and I think you are a Very lucky girl.
I wish you luck but I don't think you'll need it x
Another lovely story, Keep. I was falling in love with him too from your description...
Be honest with him OP. Tell him you're enjoying his company but you're not sure you see the potential for a relationship.
Don't apologise for not finding him physically attractive, that may still come. You obviously find the 'man' attractive as you've slept with him.
My DP & I started off very much in the same way. I wasn't physically attracted to him but loved spending time with him (we were friends-part of a larger group) then one day bang, he was the most handsome man I've ever laid eyes on...still is.
It can happen.
Just don't promise something you don't intend. Don't set out knowing you're waiting for something better because that is selfish & cruel.

I suddenly had a memory of "going out to coffee" at the old El Rancho Tropicana, and wondered where the heck it went.....I guess that's Target now ?
You forgot another SR icon - the funky red oriental-shaped Chinese restaurant on Mendocino near what is now Adel's.
And Holliday Bowl (though Old Mexico and their bowla's are still there).
And downtown "the hill" that was leveled, next to "Wolf Coffee," where silly "alternative" teenagers hung out, some panhandling.
Jalisco's is still around, as is Lincoln Arts Center, and the good old Flamingo Hotel !!
How we lost Petrini's I cannot understand - I remember WE eves were the "meet-market."
And the funky old Molsberry's Market (A&B?) on Yulupa eventually became Food For Thought and now Whole Foods.
And Crystal's Corner on Yulupa is still there.....
**but alas, the "Milk-Stand" was torn down long time ago - I'd buy $.10 Jolly Ranchers there after school.**
I remember when the 7-Eleven and Baskin-Robins sat next to a field in Bennett Valley.
And the Payless across the street.
We had a Long's over there too - I miss Long's.
And the "castles" at the top of Medica Rd. that my friend lived next to - I think still there, but accessible from a different street.
How about those sewer pipes one could walk through in Roseland ? (always wanted to try that one).
How about the "Baby Tree" in the old Community Hospital ?
I went up there shortly after Sutter took over the premises to see my pic on the baby tree, and sadly it was gone - a nurse said it was removed and put in storage only weeks before.
My old park on North Street is no longer the fun little place I remember.
I still call the LBC the LBC. Ode to Luther Burbank !
What a shame the Copperfield's building was renovated - SHAME SHAME SHAME !!!
Oh, the list goes on......
A swat team for a family quarrel with children present? This would never have happened when the Peace and Freedom Party ran the City of Cotati circa 1970s. The police chief was a full blooded Native American and the Mayor later worked for United Way.
I've read the story twice now, and I still don't know why I put that giant eyeball there.
You've got to read the story to find out!
Yeah, what IS up with that eyeball, anyway?

Nicolas Grizzle - May I quote that ending? Profound Statement..
I went to Santa Rosa Junior College back in 1968-70. We used to eat at the Artic Circle Drive-In. I remember that big plastic white chicken statue called " Acey Bird" When did that place leave Santa Rosa ? Also I remember eating at Rocky,s Pizza Parlor in back of the college on Steele Lane.
He said Joyce Teel is worth 1 billion, not that she made that much in profits or sales. Also, Raley's never opened their books. How can you all be so certain about what Raley's profit margin is if they've neve opened their books? Raley's is privately owned, there is no public record as per how much the company is really worth, how much their profits really are, or their profit margin. So, your math is a waste of time, Concerned Citizen. You don''t have the facts because Raley's never made them available.

Rick is doing better than ever! He is an amazing man both in business and personal life!
Charlie, no, there is not help. Why does everyone say, "There is help"? People: please stop lying. There is no help.
"What a country we live in: In open-carry states, a mostly white group of chubby second amendment "gundamentalists" have taken to carrying actual assault weapons into retail and fast-food outlets with not much pushback from police, while in California, a 13-year-old Latino kid gets shot and killed by police while openly carrying a toy gun in a semi-rough Santa Rosa neighborhood. Meanwhile, there's a school shooting practically every week—and thus the battle lines are drawn between arming everybody and, gee, how about some sane gun laws?"
No child is allowed to open carry. No one in CA can own a non-neutered semi-automatic rifle. Open carry activists usually inform police of their actions beforehand. There is not a school shooting every week, but over 50% of gun homicide victims are african-american. How about constructive policy rather then your anti-NRA "gun laws" that do nothing to help anyone! Talk about drinking the kool aid. Strawman much?
If you cared at all about ending gun violence, you would be talking about poverty, the war on drugs, black on black crime, and the failure of anti-gun policy. But you're not. You're repeating talking points that don't make sense, you're demonizing your enemies and your tugging at the heartstrings of racism in the United States. Unbelieveable.
Deeply affected.* Smh.
It sounds like Mr. Neillands hasn't evaluated the data and yet he's telling the public to doubt the results. Is he acting as a spokesperson for the Department, or offering his own opinion? The article doesn't say. I like seeing the Bohemian report on a scientific debate but not if it's just speculation by a scientist not involved in the research.
To respond to the above comment, the 650 number only includes workers directly employed by the casino, and only those casino worker's who are able to be in the union. This may not be 100% correct but I believe all management, admin positions, card dealers, security and others are excluded. A conservative estimate of this group is 350, it could be up to 600. There are also at least 200 if not 300 workers at the non-casino restaurants who are also not included. Conservatively that puts the total number of jobs at 1200. Additionally, there will be a hotel made in the future and those will be 200-300 jobs easily. So while 1500 jobs is perhaps a better estimate than 2000, it is NOT 650. You need to stop spreading biased information to promote your cause. Also you need to blame the evil company Stations because they laid off HUNDREDS of workers in December. Had they not done that, the 2000 figure may still be accurate. Please do some unbiased research, your activism (which I support) will be more powerful with accurate data.
ONLY 650 GRATON CASINO WORKERS (WAITERS, JANITORS, HOSPITALITY WORKERS AND COOKS) ELIGIBLE FOR UNION MEMBERSHIP? We thought they created "2,000" jobs. Waiters, janitors, hospitality workers and cooks (but the restaurants are all privately owned!) are the bulk of the available jobs there. So where's the other 1,350 jobs? Here's the truth: The 2,000 jobs figure would have only happened if the large hotel planned for the casino had opened. That was where the "2,000 jobs" figure came from, but the hotel was not built, and Graton casino never corrected the figure. Check the original stories and documents going back to 2003. You'll see we're right. Visit us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Stop-Graton…

Rainfall stirs memories of auto accident victim
Re: The article "Cooper community grieves loss of teen in crash" (A-J, Sept. 4).
The 100-year flood Lubbock recently experienced wasn't just Mother Nature.
It was all the angels in heaven responding to Kelsey Vines having joined them. They all cried tears for they know now why she was so loved here and how much she will be missed.
City and school officials praised for well-done job
Re: Our recent floods and more
To LISD:
1. Thanks for the call Thursday night (Sept. 11) informing us of Friday's school cancellations related to the rain and flooding. It is comforting to know a system is in place and that it works as planned.
2. Thanks for putting the safety of our children first.
To the city of Lubbock:
1. Thanks for the swift action blanketing the city during our recent "100-year flood." Street closings, increased police and emergency personnel on hand, sandbag readiness / availability, emergency rescues ... and now, just one-two days later, initiating measures to access FEMA assistance for those affected.
2. Thanks for finally putting in the playa drainage system, as I can only imagine how things could have been before its existence.
3) Thanks for being on the ready for those fleeing hurricanes Gustav and Ike and, ironically, for those here in Lubbock who were displaced by flooding.
I personally have used this forum to criticize our city government and officials and am proud to write today, expressing thanks and praise for recent jobs well-done. Thank you.

National security should be top priority for voters
I know we as a nation have several major problems to address, such as health care, Social Security, taxes, etc., but if we don't address national security, then the other things really don't matter, do they?
I want everyone to vote. That is the American way. As for me, I'm voting for who I think would handle the national security the best. Who would Al Qaeda or the Taliban want us to elect?
I don't want my grandkids or great grandkids to be speaking Chinese, Arabic or Spanish (unless they choose to). We can work on all these other problems, but security and a great military should be first.
LLOYD THOMPSON/Lubbock
Both political parties are acting like a 5-year-old
I can't talk politics, but I can see and hear. At this point, I see both parties behaving like a 5-year-old. Neither party cares about the needs of our country, in my opinion. The terrorists love this, and are laughing themselves silly. No offense, by the way, to the 5-year-old.

Eleven-month-old Ava-Jayne Corless was asleep in bed upstairs at a house in Blackburn when she was attacked by the pit bull terrier, reportedly called 'Killer'.
Chloe King, 20, and 26-year-old Lee Wright were said to be downstairs at the time of the "horrific" incident around 11pm on Monday.
Police and ambulance staff tried to resuscitate Ava-Jayne at the property in Emily Street but she was pronounced dead at Royal Blackburn Hospital a short while later.
Chief Superintendent Chris Bithell of Lancashire Police said the suspects were initially arrested on child neglect charges.
They were then re-arrested on the more serious charge of manslaughter.
"This is an absolutely horrific incident in which a baby girl has lost her life and I would like to take this opportunity to express my own personal sympathy to the wider family of baby Ava," Mr Bithell said.
Police confirmed the dog, which has been destroyed, was a breed prohibited under Section 1 of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991.
Neighbours claim to have made previous complaints to police about the canine's behaviour.
Mr Bithell added: "As part of the investigation we are making inquiries to see whether there have been previous issues with this particular dog and I think at this moment it would be too early to speculate on that."
The child's father is understood to be Dean Corless.
Writing on Facebook, his sister, Shannon Corless, said: "She is a beautiful little girl, she was only 11 month and didn't deserve to be took away so soon.
"You know what they say god only takes the best, you really didn't deserve to go. I love you loads princess. Your with the angels now princess. Auntie Shannon loves you loads."
A post-mortem examination is expected to take place to determine Ava's exact cause of death. Nobody else was injured during the attack.

Hi everyone,
I'm very happy to say Patch.com is picking up everyone's parking tabs this Thursday, Dec. 23. Get out and support our local businesses (and don't worry about the meters, they'll be covered and pre-paid; township lots are free too!) http://patch.com/A-cFwq

That's great Nathan! Very thoughtful of Patch.
I'll look to take advantage of this as I am always do last minute Christmas shopping.
Brotherhood of Thieves ~ As we must account for every idle word, so must we account for every idle silence.
Very nice of the Patch to do this.
I have a question: does the Township forego any parking revenue on these occasions, or is the entire tab picked up by Ardmore Initiative or, as in this case the Patch, other civic minded organizations?
hmmm...I think it's on the people as they say...not the township
Patch agreed to pay the township a price that would cover the parking revenue were the lots/meters not free. So, the tab is being picked up, as it were.
That's what I thought and it is a very generous gesture on the part of the Patch.
Why the Township gets any credit for its participation in this program is beyond me.
Cleland has stated many times that parking meter and fines receipts should not be regarded as revenue generators for the General Fund. Yet that is exactly how they are viewed. These are one of the first items he turns to when asked what could be changed to help the budget imbalance.
Never heard of the Patch. What are the details?
Sweet deal! That's very kind of the Patch.
Your post gets one of these:
Happy New Year.
Sorry about the empty post: Started to post but was distracted.
I liked Patch when it started out in Ardmore,but now there is a Haverford Patch, Bala Cynwyd, Patch, Ardmore Patch, Bryn Mawr Patch. Many of the stories overlap, but others don't. I wonder why the overkill in this market. Are the interests of people in Merion that different from the people in Gladwyne, Bala Cynwyd, or Narberth?
I've been a happy reader of Adrmore Patch since it launched. I think Nathan Susanj is doing a fantastic job. But I agree that the launches of the other local Patches make readership and coverage a bit confused. I don't really want to have to log into four different Patches to get all the news.
Also I question the coverage zones. It doesn't make much sense to me to group Bala Cynwyd and Narberth together. The Ardmore-Merion-Wynnewood Patch looped all the way around Narberth, and now seems to form interlocking J's with the BalaCynwyd-Narberth Patch.
And I also wish they would stabilize their RSS feed.
Thanks Patch. I subscribed to the Patch. Lots of good information.

The weather may be bitterly cold right now, but that's no reason to just stay in every night. There's still plenty of great live music rolling through Boston this time of year.
Sure, the Comcast Center and Bank of America Pavilion are closed right now, but it doesn't need to be summer concert season for these 10 artists to bring their live shows to the masses. We all know about Lady Gaga, Rihanna and the like, but there's also some great lesser known artists to check out.
Here's 10 great shows coming through Boston in February to April that will help you kick off your 2013 concert season.
Big Gigantic at the House of Blues
For those unfamiliar, Big Gigantic is an electronic musical duo from Boulder, CO. They are known for their high-energy live performances and unique musical style, comparable to other EDM artists like Skrillex and Deadmau5. Try on their song "The World Is Yours" for size. You like? Get tickets to their February 15 House of Blues show at Live Nation.
Animal Collective at the House of Blues
Animal Collective aren't exactly a household name, but the indie pop group have two highly regarded singles in "My Girls" and "Summertime Clothes" that you may know or love already. They are well-known for energetic live shows and their March 7 concert at the House of Blues should be more of the same – get tickets at Live Nation.
Rihanna at the TD Garden
Tickets are still available for Rihanna's "Diamonds" World Tour at Ticketmaster. We doubt they will last much longer! The show hits the TD Garden on March 10 with opening act A$AP Rocky.
P!nk at the TD Garden
Another show you'll want to act on quickly if you want to score a ticket – they're still available at Ticketmaster but not for much longer. P!nk and special guest The Hives hit the TD Garden on March 28.
Alicia Keys at the TD Garden
Alicia Keys brings her "Set The World On Fire" Tour to the Agganis Arena at BU on April 10. Tickets go on sale via Ticketmaster starting Feb. 1, but we imagine they won't last very long!
Muse at the TD Garden
Muse became worldwide superstars with the hit single "Uprising," and they've done it again with another strong album in The 2nd Law. Matt Bellamy & Co. are known for their energetic live shows, and their TD Garden concert on April 12 should be no exception. Tickets are still available through Ticketmaster.
Do you have tickets to any of these shows? What concerts are you looking forward to for the next few months? Share your shows in the comments.

Import alert issued by USFDA on Ranbaxy's Mohali plant could not only be negative for the stock but according to the analyst community Ranbaxy could be on its last legs for having a good strong base in the US.
The US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) issued import alert on Ranbaxy Laboratories's Mohali Unit reports CNBC-TV18's Ekta Batra.
This could be an extreme negative for Ranbaxy and according to the analyst community Ranbaxy could be on its last legs for having a good strong base in the US.
Also read: Drugmakers draw more FDA scrutiny as US imports rise
After the problems at Paonta Sahib and Dewas, the USFDA now has a problem per se with its unit at Mohali.
Mohali being a new plant, manufacturing wasn't at full scale but most of the new drugs by the company were slated to be actually manufactured there. There is yet more clarity required from the company itself in terms of what will happen to all of their big ticket drugs, which were expected to be launched especially in Q4 CY13.
Key Points
There was already Form 483, which was issued for Mohali. This means there were certain manufacturing practices which the US FDA had already pointed out and the company had time to comply to the problems US FDA had bought up.
However, since Ranbaxy could not comply to with those issues the 483 has now converted to an import alert.
The stock closed at around Rs 319, down 30 percent from its previous closing.

Thirty Injured in Anti-Israeli Demonstrations in Morocco
About 30 demonstrators were injured, three of which had serious injuries, in Casablanca Sunday, as police broke up an unauthorized anti-Israeli demonstration by thousands of protestors in Casablanca.
On the other hand, an authorized demonstration attended by tens of thousands passed off peacefully in the capital Rabat.
Police used tear gas to disperse the protesters, some of whom retaliated by throwing stones, injuring two police in the clashes in Casablanca's working-class Derb Soltane district.
Members of the moderate Islamist Justice and Development Party were seen at the demonstration despite a communiqué issued by the party leadership on Saturday saying that its members would not go ahead with the demonstration after failing to obtain permission.
In Rabat, tens of thousands of people representing most political groupings and several non-governmental organizations marched through the main streets in an authorized demonstration called by the Moroccan Association of Support for the Palestinian Struggle (AMSLP).
The march was also supported by Islamist associations including the largest, Al Adl Wa al-Ihssane.
Demonstrators burned Israeli flags while waving Palestinian and Iraqi flags, shouting slogans denouncing the killing of Palestinians by Israeli soldiers.
Banners read "Palestine for Palestinians and Jerusalem for Muslims."
Clashes in Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza Strip have claimed 88 lives including 75 Palestinians, 10 Arab Israelis and three Israelis.
The unrest was set off by a visit by right-wing Israeli opposition leader Ariel Sharon to the hotly disputed al-Aqsa mosque compound, a site known to Jews as the Temple Mount, in Jerusalem's Old City on September 28 -- CASABLANCA, Morocco (AFP)

If your clutch bell has a blue taint due to overheating, or its interior noticeably worn or damaged, the clutch shoes will not last as long as they could do. If it is warped and misshaped, it will cause clutch slip and a jerky acceleration. This means it requires immediate replacement.
POLINI produce the 'Speed Bell' clutch bell as an economically priced alternative to the original item or as part of a lightly tuned motors set up. These items noticeably improve the throttle response of your scooter and also have a higher standard of production and durability than the originals.
The POLINI 'Speed Bell Evolution' also has a high quality of production and includes cooling fins and openings, which together ensure lower operating temperatures and improved performance. A further development of this clutch system is the 'Speed Bell Evolution II'. The 'Evo II' clutch bell has even larger cooling fins and openings than its predecessor and is also 100 gr. lighter.
SIP-TIP: Do not forget to order new clutch fixing nuts and a suitable holding tool. A polyamide V-belt, Malossi clutch and variator complete the overall set up properly.
