Review: Asia Bistro
Author: indianapoliseater | Filed under: Food Reviews, Location: Fishers, INAsia Bistro
7426 Fishers Station Drive
Fishers, Indiana 46038
In what is becoming almost a monthly Sunday night tradition, it was time for me to venture out again for some Chinese takeout and since I was spending some time with my mom and her husband at their house, we decided to try out one of the relatively new takeout places in her area, Asia Bistro. Since it was my first time trying the place, I decided to go with one of my "testing" Chinese dishes and got…
What I Got: Quart of General Tso's Chicken (comes with white rice); $8.95.
As you can see from my very "arty" photo, the dish comes with a quart of General Tso's chicken mixed with broccoli and then a smaller pint sized container of white rice. Visually, there's not a whole lot there. The chicken bits were covered in a sticky sauce and there were noticeable red pepper flakes in the sauce on the chicken (you can also see them on the broccoli in the picture above). One thing I did notice that the chicken was particularly soft and the breading of the chicken was also soft as well. I'm all for tender chicken, but not for mushy breading, so I was little worried as I got ready to eat this one.
My worry subsided a bit, but I can honestly say I was not particularly impressed with this version of General Tso's chicken. It's not that it was overwhelmingly bad, but it wasn't overwhelmingly good either…it was just edible. The thick sauce was neither overly spicy, nor overly sweet, but instead somewhere in the middle. When you order something like General's chicken, you'd like the sauce to be one of those things (I prefer the spicier version), but this one was neither and that was a big disappointment. As suspected, the chicken was tender and that was nice, but the breading was soft and doughy and since I like a bit of crunch in my General's chicken, I really missed that. All in all, this was just boring.
Would I Buy It Again? No to the General's Chicken and probably not to Asia Bistro. Just too boring and not really worth a purchase. If I want Chinese food, I don't want to be bored by it and Asia Bistro gave me that sensation. The name of this place is deceiving, because this is not what you think of when you think of "bistro quality" food.
As an aside on some of the other menu items, my mom and her husband got different dishes and my mom's response to her Shrimp with Lobster Sauce was "I've been eating this for forty years and this is the worst I've ever had" and her husband's response to his Roast Pork Lo Mein was virtually the same as my review of my food as he said his was "bland." Not exactly a ringing endorsement of a place, eh?

4 Responses to "Review: Asia Bistro"
We tried this recently as well. Was hoping it would be decent because it's so close to our house but I agree with your mom – it's the worst Chinese take out I've ever had – so bad that we ended up going back out for something else!
I noticed you called it "Asia Wok" in the WIBIA section… got a better/worse place on your mind?
Chinese restaurants seem to really suck in Indy. I used to live close to Yen Ching and always liked their food. But we just moved to the other side of town and the 3-4 places close to us are horrible. Anyone know of a decent place on the east of Broad Ripple?
I saw that you posted this a couple of weeks ago, but I wanted to read it after I wrote my own review of the place. It seems we had similar findings. Before this place was open and I saw "bistro" in the name I was expecting something other than another take-out place. Also, my chicken with garlic sauce was also very bland. When you think of underseasoned food Chinese isn't usually something that comes to mind, but it seems to be the case here.

We currently serve as fiscal agent for Pathways of Wolfeboro and the Festival of Trees, and are involved with the Town of Wolfeboro's Economic Development Committee. However, our primary focus is lending. In the past several years, WEDCO has lent over $4 million and leveraged almost $30 million. This lending activity alone have created and retained over 420 jobs.
2013 will be another busy year and we look forward the challenges and opportunities it presents.

Repricing underwater stock options won't help you hold onto top executives, but it can reduce turnover among lower-level employees. So report Mary Ellen Carter and Luann J. Lynch, who have spent five years studying the controversial practice. The results of their research are scheduled to appear in the February 2004 issue of the Journal of Accounting and Economics.An option is underwater when its exercise price — the price at which the holder can purchase a share — exceeds the market price of the underlying stock. Companies can remedy this situation by reducing the strike price of their existing options. Or they can cancel them and issue new options at a lower exercise price. If the new issue occurs within six months of the cancellation, this also counts as repricing under current accounting standards.Whatever the method used, critics attack repricing as a transfer of wealth from shareholders to the very executives who should bear the responsibility for a company's woes. In reply, firms that reprice typically characterize the strategy as a critical employee retention tool.
Does Repricing Stock Options Work?

According to the research of an accountancy firm, KPMG, one of five workers are paid less than their living wages, which equates to almost 5m people. Among these, Bar and restaurants, catering and retail staff most affected. KPMG confirmed, in a tough environment of increasing costs of living, the effect is falling hardest on those low-paid workers. More than four in ten say their finance are worse than a month ago. The living wage is a voluntary rate that some employers, which includes KPMG has agree to pay staff, which designed to enable workers to afford a basic standard of living. The rate is £8.30 an hour in London and £7.20 outside.
Living Wage Campaign Help More Than 10,000 Workers
That compares with national minimum wage of £6.19 an hour. The study which commission from research company Markit, has found that since 2001, the living wage campaign had assist more than 10,000 employees and redistributed more than £96m to them. Northern Ireland had the broadest proportion of group, who earn below than the living wage at 24 percent, followed by Wales at 23 percent. The lowest rate was in London and the southeast, both at 16 percent. Bar staff, at 90 percent and waiting staff at 85 percent, were the most likely to be paid less than the living wages. Number of the workers the most affected were sales and retail assistants.
One In Five Paid Less Than Living Wages
Marianne Fallon, KPMG head of corporate affairs, confirmed that we have found that the improved motivation and performance, and the lower leaver and absentee rate among staff in receipt of a living wage, which mean that the cost is offset. Some 38 percent of respondents below than the living wage confirmed that they have poorer cash availability now than a month ago. It compares with 27 percent of those earning above, which indicates that the recovery is falling to benefit those most in need.

Authentic Leadership is Not a path for the timid.
Courage is more than a prerequisite, it's an absolute necessity!
That's because in order to become an authentic leader, you have to change. And change requires courage.
For those who simply want "leadership development," there are books to read and courses to take. But, for those who understand that not only has the economy changed but the entire world of business has changed, and along with those changes comes a deep awakening that leadership at all levels must also change.
The days of leadership through intimidation are dimming, their dusk is falling, and the dark night will soon be upon them. The daybreak that is the light of authentic leadership is already brightening the horizons.
The time of the new authentic leaders is upon us.
The good news is; some who were leaders under the old model will embrace the new style of leadership. They will do this because they understand that leadership is not just about having your followers do as you command, but rather having your followers flourish in an authentic environment.
Business is now more than ever a process of relationship. However, as I've said many times before, those relationships must be authentic. This means face-to-face business, not just with your customers, but with every one in and on your team, You Will Have To Let Your Employees, Co-workers, and Customers In...
The great writer and visionary Joseph Campbell outlined the hero's journey in his classic work, "The Hero with a Thousand Faces."
Today's new leaders must enter the hero's journey that is already changing the face of business. They will hold true to the path, knowing that real treasure is always hidden in the darkest place, and that it is to this dark place that you inherently fear to go in case you never come back that everything that will give your life meaning awaits.
I know this to be true because I have journeyed there; I have faced the dragon that can't be slain, but merely tamed. I have also had the honor of guiding many others on their own heroic journey.
Why should you undertake such a journey if you have all you want, if you have many things that others envy?
It's because those who seem to have everything know it isn't enough. You must enter the cave you fear or live a life without true fulfillment.
Know this: everything you truly desire awaits you in that darkest of places.
Remember, an Authentic Leader is not without fear. However, the Authentic Leader's vision is always going to be greater than the fear.
So it comes down to this: Do you have the courage to be an authentic leader, to go in and claim that treasure on your own heroic journey?
As Joseph Campbell says, "The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek."
Until you enter the cave, nothing will ever be enough!

A new YouTube ad depicts Congressman Allen West punching two women, one of them elderly. In the video, he also steals a little cash and runs off with the money. So what's the problem? Some conservatives have gone on record to call this attack over the top.
This is what West had to say about the new ad:
I spent my life in uniform fighting for our great nation and protecting all Americans. The ad being run against me by my opponent's family depicting violence against women and senior citizens is reprehensible. It plays on stereotypes and fear to divide Americans, and it cheapens the very real and tragic occurrences of violence against women and seniors.

When the Brooklyn Nets somehow acquired Andrei Kirilenko for the low, low price of $3.18 million for next season (and a player option for roughly the same amount the following season) it was reported that executives around the league were furious, due to what they believed to be foul play, behind the scenes. Owner Mikhail Prokhorov and Kirilenko have ties in Russia, and it was under the assumption that the forward was accommodated in ways that don't necessarily show in his seemingly too-good-to-be-true contract .
Due to the scrutiny and complaints, the league had decided to investigate the matter. And found zilch, from Fred Kerber of New York Post:
"When there is a formal complaint, the league will look into it," said one league official who spoke in generalities and refused comment on the Kirilenko issue.

Will Japan emerge from its shell? The new government finds charting a new course not so easy
Op-ed: Yale Global Online on February 5, 2010Since the Democratic Party of Japan came to power in August 2009, upsetting fifty years of conservative rule, U.S.-Japan relations have been on rocky ground. It would seem that the DPJ is upending decades old policies, hewing its own path with the United States, China, and the Asia-Pacific region. As Shorenstein APARC Associate Director for Research Daniel Sneider notes, Japan's new tack not only has caught the United States flat-footed, but also has other countries in the Asia-Pacific worried.

El-P – Cancer 4 Cure (Album Stream / Review)
A few weeks ago, Brooklyn native and indie-hip hop icon El-P released his latest full-length project, in the well-received Cancer 4 Cure. Really beginning in 1993, the journey behind the 37-yr-old's career has been rooted in the culture of the genre as a whole more so than any one discipline, wearing the hat of producer, lyricist, label CEO, visual artist, and plenty more.
In covering this latest release, we'll bring words from past contributor and founder of FreeWeedy.com, Naveed Ahmad (@NaveedMBS). Read his outlook at the jump, stream below, and purchase Cancer 4 Cure here.
Jamie Meline, a Brooklyn native, is a hip-hop producer, getting behind the boards for Murs, Aesop Rock,
and Cage, among others. He also was the CEO of Definitive Jux, or "Def Jux," a rap label he founded in
1999, before it morphed into a brand name, sometime around 2010.
But cast the titles aside, and Jamie Meline is an artist, who goes by the MC name El-P.
It's been over 5 years since his last album, and his new piece, Cancer 4 Cure, dropped May 22nd of this
Cancer 4 Cure is a booming piece of art, that is, before it devolves, musically and lyrically, into a highly
critical attack on the MC himself.
But El-P's talent as producer and MC keeps Cancer 4 Cure fresh throughout, even if the personal
beatings are a bit much.
Now if you want to know what "booming" means, skip straight to track two, "The Full Retard," where
the song blasts off with an infectious "So you should pump this shit/like they do in the future," chant. El-
P dazzles here with wordplay, and you can't help but smile with lines like "I am Sam/I am known to go
H.A.M./the full retard."
In "Drones Over BKLYN," the beat knocks even harder, with a steady snare to create a pure boom-bap
sound. Thirty seconds deep, when the symbol comes in over the top, you have hip-hop music at its
His rhymes are on point as well, dropping gems like, "A wabbit in crosshairs/mechanical foxhunt/
be quiet, they're hunting now/the method is awesome." After he brings in spacey moans around
3:15, "Drones Over BKLYN" takes on new life, before getting stripped down for the last 1:50
The whole song is a master performance by the Brooklyn MC.
However, for the last half of the album, the music literally takes a backseat, as the boom-bap sound is
turned down in favor of a more monotone, electro-tinged buzz.
What come to the forefront are El-P's lyrics, and we're treated to the MC delivering a scathing criticism
of himself, over and over again.
Meline is a sharp cat, so the self-flagellation may not be so clear at first. But listen a little closer, and a
clear narrative emerges.
"They wanna cure you/you're the cancer/you're the fucking problem/you're the pollution/you're the
issue/and they wanna solve you/they wanna cure you/you're the cancer/how's that make you feel?" he
spews in the beginning of "True Story."
It may seem like Meline is commenting on society in general, but each song in the last half of Cancer 4
Cure sharpens the focus on El-P, more and more narrowly.
In "The Jig Is Up," it's almost as if Meline is physically looking at himself in a mirror, spitting out every
negative thing he feels. "Look at me/I'm on to you/no more lies/I'm on to you/then again/you might be
out of your God damn mind," he snarls, before the chorus drowns us with "I wouldn't want to be a part
of any club that would have me," over and over again.
The commentary is interesting, but by the time "For My Upstairs Neighbor (Mums The Word)" arrives,
with lines like "If you kill him/I won't tell," being dropped, enough is enough. There's only so much self-
hatred a listener can take. And if there's any doubt to what El-P means, look for the line in the closing
track, "$4 Vic/FTL (Me & You)," where he says, "And I can no longer contain what's under my disguise/
I've always had the cancer for the cure/that's what the fuck am I."
Under the hand of a more amateur producer/MC, Cancer 4 Cure would be self-indulgent trash. But El-
P is a skilled artist, one who constructs meticulously layered songs that reward careful listeners with
clever lines.
Cancer 4 Cure is a pleasure to listen to, and covers up the tiresome lyrics, more often than not.

By: Katie Anderson (Schaefer), Cosmetics & Toiletries magazine
Posted: June 28, 2011
Chosen biweekly for their relevance to personal care, Patent Picks are taken from publicly available sources. This edition, chosen by Katie Anderson (Schaefer), associate editor of Cosmetics & Toiletries, features patents related to aging skin treatments.

Picked up #11 of Marvel's Civil War Frontline, and that's it for the Civil War. About time too! I already said what I'm going to say about the ending of Civil War, the ending of Frontline is better...slightly. However, the series was about 2-3 issues too long and I can't shake the feeling that the series was more cashcow than reading material.
Silent War is another Marvel series that's failed to match expectations. I mean, a war between the Inhumans and America. How can you mess that up? Answer: No fighting for the first 2 issues. Yes; for a mini-series about a war, there's not a lot of fighting in the series. Even a meeting between Black Bolt and Sentry became a stare-down than a fight. I don't think too many people will last another 3 issues of stare-downs, I can't!
As Civil War & Silent War are Marvel's response to DC's smash hit Infinite Crisis, I think it's safe to say that DC got the better of the match-up. If anyone question that, I suggest he pick up 52. The DC weekly shows the 52 weeks missing in One Year later, and it WORKS. I wasn't sure it could at the beginning but it WORKED! Showing how the DC world cope without a year of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman was risky, but 52 was great! OK, some of the storylines didn't quite work (Batwoman?) but overall it was very interesting. Black Adam, The Question, Animal Man; second-tier chacters who became highly interesting thanks to this series. So much so that DC already have another weekly in place to replace 52 when it end. Hopefully, the ending of 52 will match the series so far.

Street Corner Symphonies - The Complete Story
Of Doo Wop At last Bear Family has worked with high class on the
definitive history of these vocal groups, year by year, using the same
concept that they did for the serie "Dim Light, Thick Smoke and
Hillbilly Music". Many of these vocal groups started on churches,
street-corners or in stairwells of tenement apartments before, sometime,
finding some record deal. Many groups started to sing acapella so quite
a few times music is sparse or very basic but sometime it should be
very sophisticated. Most of the performers were African Americans deeply
rooted on gospel and black pop who build a style that became a major
contributing force to the evolution of Rock 'n' Roll. These
groups were the link between vaudeville, jazz, gospel, latin and caribean
music, popular, rhythm and blues and rock 'n' roll. That's
more an affair of vocal abilities than an attempt to build an unique
or homogeneous musical style. The years or the regional locations may
bring some closeness and similarities but there's a wide diversity
of styles. Some you will like, some you won't. This series has
been compiled and anoted by Bill Dahl and covers the years 1939 to 1963
bringing 30 recordings by CD ranging from "pop" to "rock
'n' roll". Each song come with the group full story,
rare pictures of the bands and records labels shot when possible, all
that displayed in a 82 pages booklet for each volume. Them stories are brightly told and you will learn how these singers, like many birds, needed or liked to migrate from a group to another, from a label to another. The only thing most groups had in common was that they all dressed alike on the stage. Personality conflicts were commonplace especially after a record was made and if money starts rolling in. The same happened if any recording contract came and money stayed tight. Nevertheless, some groups had a long ride and you will enjoy them in almost all the CDs for that serie, some will be featured only once. Be ready for The Turkey Hop, for some Reveries or for One Mint Julep, Rockin' Daddy-O! Volume 1 – 1939 to 1949 Of course that CD covering the period from
1939 to 1949, you can't expect any rock 'n' roll tune
but that when the roots of the 1950s rhythm and blues vocal group explosion
were laid. Many of these early groups started out singing spirituals before
crossing over to the secular side for obvious commercial reasons. Musical work is often minimal and having an accompanying guitarist or pianist was already a luxury. "If I Didn't Care" sung by The Ink Spots offers a very nice recitation by Orville "Hoppy" Jones and went to be a pop smash in 1939. Formed in 1934 that group was purveyor of classy music that owed much to the gospel tradition but being able to reach the white middle class. The Cats and The Fiddle were signed by Lester Melrose who got them a contract with Bluebird. "I Miss You So", a mid-tempo ballad was their biggest hit in 1940. "Till Then", sung by The Mills Brothers, was cut in February 27, 1944 following them classic "Paper Doll". Beautiful voices that makes these four brothers (John, Herbert, Harry and Donald), an essential group on "Decca". The 5 Red Caps recorded in Los Angeles for Joe Davis and follow the Ink Spots steps with "I Learned A Lesson, I'll Never Forget". Ivory "Deek" Watson, formerly member of The Ink Spots, assembled a new quartet called The Brown Dots in January 1945. The following month they cut the beautiful haunting ballad "Sentimentals Reasons" lead by tenor Joe King. Elvis probably listened these guys, any doubts about it. Dusty Brooks' and his Four Tunes deliver the nice "Play Jackspot" cut for Memo in 1945. Very tasty piano and guitar solos in that ode to slot machine cut in California. In 1953, Dusty Brooks and his Tones had a very rare record issued by Sam Phillips as Sun 182 offering "Heaven on Fire"/"Tears and Wine". A 78 rpm pressing of that record goes for over $ 3000 in 2010. Next came the famous Golden Gate Quartet with an anti-nuclear warning "Atom and Evil" cut on June 5, 1946 for "Columbia". That song sound a bit like a pre-Clovers recording. The Delta Rhythm Boys don't need any presentation having recorded prolifically and even backed Ella Fitzgerald. Here they work vocally on a Duke Ellington's number "Just A-Sittin' and A- Rockin'" issued on Decca in 1946. Not surprising to know about that song having made a run on the popular charts. They are also featured on Vol 2 with "If You See Tears In My Eyes" recorded for Atlantic, a song borrowed to The Beavers. The Jubalaires sings "I Know", a song that was covered by The Prisonaires for Sun few years later, while The Basin Street Boys sing "I Sold My Heart To The Junk Man" written by Leon and Otis Rene and issued on Exclusive 225. Bill Samuels goes on "I Cover The Waterfront" for Mercury while The Melody Masters, for Apollo, goes on the jumping "My Baby". After three releases on that label, the members went their separate way. Cliff Givens, formely with The Ink Spots, went later record for "Trumpet" in Mississippi. The Four Aces, from Fort Worth (Texas), recorded for Trilon and 4-Star while The Four Vagabonds goes on a cover of an old song "P.S I Love You". All these guys can sing … that's those voices, not the rhythm nor the musical backing that make the thing. "Ol' Man River" by The Ravens brings us some rhythm and Jimmy Ricks' bass voice is just great. That first important "bird group" bring here a real rhythm and blues sound cleaned from the popular or jazz influence. They won an appearance on Ed Sullivan's "Toast Of The Town" in January of 1949. Bill Johnson and His Musical Notes, The Five Bars delivers, from Nashville, and The Scamps goes on ballads with minimal musical backing. The big surprise came from Willie Dixon and The Big Three Trio with the muscular "After Awhile", a bouncy cut from 1947 with Willie Dixon slapping his bass with force while the drummer keep a steady beat. A very nice recording about whiskey issued on "Columbia". Here come The Orioles with the flashpoint of the CD "It's Too Soon To Know" lead by tenor Sonny Til (born Earlington Tilghman). That group was definitively more rhythm and blues than pop and that ultra-slow ballad that blends old spiritual harmony with sparse instrumentation is just perfect. The Deep River Boys recorded for RCA and were pretty popular in England. The Rockets, on Aladdin 3017, revamp with rhythm the old Scottish folk melody "Loch Lomond" while The Dixieaires, for Gotham, delivers "Go Long", a solid song with the participation of Caleb Ginyard who formed The Du Droppers in 1952. We will be back later about that guy who "Can't Do Sixty No More". The year 1948 close with The Four Blues singing "It Take A Long Tall Brown Skinned Gal" issued on Apollo 398. That's a happy house jumping song with piano. The Four Tunes goes on" You're Heartless", a cover of a Vaughn Monroe pop hit, before being featured on vol 2 with "Old Fashioned Love". Still from 1949 came "A Kiss And A Rose" by The Charioteers, a group that did backup work for Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Pearl Bailey and many others. They are followed by The Four Knights goin' on polished harmonies and The Syncopators singing "River Stay Away From My Door" leads by tenor James Pinkey. Great voice. The Robins, discovered by Johnny Otis, sang the very interesting and sizable hit "If It's So Baby" with great guitar parts by Pete "guitar" Lewis. The sound is changing and the decade will close. Last song is "I've Been A Fool" by The Shadows, from New-Heaven, Connecticut, issued on Lee. That whole CD brings us to the dawn of rock 'n' roll but is not for rockers in any way. Vocal groups may work in various styles from smooth ballad to recitations or boogie song. You may like or hate each song for style or lack of rhythm question but nobody can contest these combos vocals abilities. Volume 2 – 1950 1950 was something of a transitional year
for vocal groups with the coming of new groups challenging The Mills Brothers,
The Delta Rhythm Boys and The Ink Spots. The Ravens (featured in vol 1) were flying high when they cut "Count Every Star" for National but some challengers were coming like The Johnny Otis Orchestra and The Robins. "Turkey Hop", cut in January 11, 1950, is a very nice dancing song with Big Jay McNeely and his brother Bob on saxes. The Beavers' "I'd Rather Be Wrong Than Blue", issued on Coral 65026, is a smooth ballad but can't not challenge with The Dominoes' "Do Something For Me" issued on Federal 12001. Clyde McPhatter's voice just can't be beat when he pleads! Next is another very influential group but from Washington DC, The Clovers. Here they are featured with a pre-Atlantic cut "When You Come Back To Me" issued on Rainbow records. The Cap-Tans' "Chief, Turn The Hose On Me" is an up-tempo number and a good dancing tune. The group started to record in 1950 and disbanded in 1953. Also featured in Vol 1, here The Orioles delivers "At Night" trying to stuck with them original style. 1950 ended badly for the group when Tommy Gaither, second tenor and guitarist, was killed behind the wheel and two members of the group seriously injured. The Three Riffs goes on "Jumping Jack", a song written by Jesse Stone. From a solitary session for Apollo, that song is a crisp jump song delivered with a driven boogie piano and blowing sax. Make to dance! Steve Gibson and The Red Caps' "I'll Never Love Anyone Else" and The Whispers' "I've Got No Time" are ballads well sung but with nothing special to my ears. "I Will Wait" by The Four Buddies is lead by the beautiful voice of Leon" Larry" Harrison. A ballad with minimal musical backing but the voices of these buddies are enough to make it a good surprise. The Striders recorded for Apollo "Cool Saturday Night" while The Cats and The Fiddle goes on "Do You Love Me" lead by Johnny Davis. "I Don't Mind Being All Alone" by The Colemans is an old Tin Pan Alley chestnut. The Blenders' "Gone (My Baby's Gone)" is lead by Ollie Jones, former member of The Ravens. Great voice! The Shadows "I'll Never, Never Let Let You Go" is a haunting' ballad but that time recorded for "Sittin' In With". The Dozier Boys recorded "She's Gone" for Aristocrat while The Four Blues waxed "As Long As I live" for Apollo. The Ravens with a second offering break that long string of ballad with an up beat rollicking jump blues "I Don't Have To Ride No More" issued on National 9101. Great waxing. The Masterkeys' bring to us the joyous rhythmic "Mr. Blues" issued on Abbey 3017, a record label located in New-York. The Carols offer the nice "Please Believe In Me" and The Mills Brothers came with "Nevertheless" decorated with guitar filigrees. The 5 Larks, The Flames, The Four Aces bring fine harmonies on average songs. King Odom Four recorded "Lover Come Back To Me" for Derby, a New-York label. That song from 1928 came from a Broadway musical. The Rivals from Candem, New-Jersey, only made a solitary single for Apollo, but that "Rival Blues" is a very nice bouncy jump. The Jubalaires, featured on Vol 1, are back with "A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes" recorded for Capitol. Smooth delivery on another ballad. If in the 50's some vocal groups were hot and jumping, here they are going mostly on smooth harmonies and popular ballads. Almost any stuff to dance but great voices to enjoy. The real meat for the vocal groups' aficionados but a little weak for those who need a shot of rhythm and blues. Volume 3 – 1951 That CD showcases perfectly how the old
guard of vocal groups from CD 1 and 2 continued to steadily loose ground.
Even The Ravens and The Orioles had cooled off considerably in spite of
quality releases. In the Billboard issue dated Sept 22, 1951 we can read:
"Vocal groups have taken command in the R&B field. Never before
in the history of the specialty field have so many groups developed and
taken so deep a root both on wax and in personal appearances". The main reason must be found on "Sixty-Minute Man", a killer, recorded by The Dominoes with them bass singer Bill Brown taking care of the lead. "Sixty-Minute Man", recorded December 30, 1950, made the Dominoes stars blasting' up to the top of Rhythm and Blues chart and staying there for 30 weeks. Sixty-Minute Man was the first R & B hit to cross over the pop charts, the first double-entendre hit and the first million seller by a formative vocal group. Issued on Federal 12022 that song is a rock and roll milestone by the interest it raised on white teenagers and DJs like Alan Freed. Radio helped to skip the segregation rope and that song was even covered by hillbilly acts like Hardrock Gunter and The York Brothers. "The Glory of Love", by The Five Keys, being an old Tin Pan Alley standard had nothing close to Lovin' Dan but the vocal harmonies are just perfect. That group brings smooth vocal to support Rudy West's lead tenor work. Issued on Aladdin 3099it's a darn good side that charted in the autumn of 1951. The Four Buddies goes in a real rhythm and blues ballad with "Sweet Slumber" cut at them second session for "Savoy". Them sound is not far from The Clovers who follow with "Don't You Know I Love You" issued on Atlantic 934. That song went racing up to # 1 on the R & B chart in September 1951 and sold almost 250 000 copies. From Baltimore, The Swallows bring us "Will You Be Mine", a ballad, cut in New-York for King record. For sure I would have liked more them excellent "It Ain't The Meat" from the same year for its libidinous gusto heavily patterned from sixty-minute man. Great sax background, piano triplet by Charles Harris and guitar work by Ralph Williams on The Orioles' "Baby Please Don't Go". That recording is a lot bluesier than their usual output maybe 'cause the song was borrowed to Big Joe Williams who recorded that classic in 1935 and again in 1941. The Ravens are back with "Gotta Find My Baby" issued on Columbia 39194 under Mitch Miller's supervision. That movin' song was the last recorded by the original band that disbanded late 1951. The Larks' "My Reverie" is build on Claude Debussy' Reverie. Minimal musical support on that recording build on Eugene Mumford's voice. "Shouldn't I Know?" by The Cardinals is a tasty ballad while "Wine" by The Hollywood's Four Fames is a movin' song about bottle of vino with tenor sax solo and hand clapping. Issued on the rare "Unique 003" 78 rpm before re-issued on Fidelity 3001. The Mello-Moods was a teenage combo from New-York who recorded "Where Are You", a beautiful ballad, for Bobby Robinson. Issued on Robin 105 that song goes # 7 in the chart in February 1952. The Marshall Brothers' "Who'll
Be The Fool From Now On" is a smooth ballad while "That's
What The Good Book Says", in spite of its religious title, is a
jumping rhythm and blues recording with vibes written by Jerry Lieber
and Mike Stoller. Sang by Bobby Nunn with The Robins it was issued on
Modern 807. Billy Bunn's "I'm Afraid" and The
Cap-Tans "Asking" are straight ballads while "Lemon
Squeezing Daddy" by The Sultans bring us some rhythm with some good
piano. They had only two releases on Jubilee records. "Heartbreakers"
by The Heartbreakers, "My Dear" by The Four Dots, "Walkin'
And Wistlin' Blues" by The Four Knights, "Little Small
Town Girl" by The Blenders are intimate ballads. "I Guess
You're Satisfied" by The Victorian is the same kind of stuff
but from Art Rupe's Specialty records. The Ryhthm Kings "I
Gotta Go Now" is more movin'. The 4 Deep Tones "Just
In Case Your Change Your Mind" is another slow ballad while The
Falcons "How Blind Can You Be" bring us the nice female voice
of Goldie Boots. A good release issued on "Regent" Sav-O-Flex
material. The Royals' "Give Me One More Chance" brings
nothing special while The Drifters' "Honey Chile" is
a light-hearted charmer with piano and winding electric guitar. Issued
on Excelior and it had any connection with Clyde McPhatter. The Varieteers' "I'll Try To Forget I Loved You", King Odom Four's "Rain Is The Teardrops of Angels" are ballads while Steve Gibson and The Orignal Red Caps bring us some rhythm with "Would I Mind" issued on RCA 50-0138.The Four Tunes' "May That Day Never Come" is a classy love ballad with sax. The Clovers are here again with them classic "Fool, Fool, Fool", issued on Atlantic 944, which makes a big impression on a young Elvis Presley. Lead by John "Buddy" Bailey, the combo work to build in spite of obvious affinity with the Ink Spots work a new sound with vigorous tenor sax and bass. That record sold nearly 500 000 and The Clovers were firmly established. The Dominoes that opened the CD close with "I Am With You", recorded on May 24, 1951, and lead by Clyde McPhatter. Bill Brown makes a great recitation on that release ending with piano glissando. Volume 4 – 1952 That one opens with the solid "Have
Mercy Baby" by The Dominoes issued on Federal 12068. Here Clyde
McPhatter's gospel-derived vocal are raucous and the rhythm is steady.
Recorded on January 28, 1952 that's a wonder with sax solo and a
lot of shouts ! The Cardinals' "The Wheel of Fortune" is a beautiful ballad that went in the Rhythm and Blues charts and was covered by Kay Starr, Dinah Washington, Arthur Prysock, The Four Flames. The Vocaleers' "Be True" is a dreamy ballad issued on Red Robin 113 while "Baby Don't Do It" by The '5' Royales with Charlie Ferguson on sax is a solid bluesy ballad. Billy Bunn's "That's When You Heartaches Begin" is a remarke of the Ink Spots' classic. That one was also cut by the young Elvis as you all know in the summer 1953 before a new version was cut on January 1957 and issued as the flip side to "All Shook Up" on RCA 20-6870. Now The Clovers are back with the all-time classic "One Mint Julep", a song that tells a story. John "Buddy" Bailey relates an amusing tale of how "Mint Julep", an aristocratic white woman drink, got him in serious troubles leading to a shotgun wedding and six kids. Cut in December 19, 1951 that song was a smash hit at the spring 1952 and was covered by Buddy Morrow and Louis Prima. The Serenaders' "But I Forgive You" and The Royals' "Every Beat Of My Heart" are two nice ballads well sung. Dancers will enjoy The Ravens' "Rock
Me All Night Long" issued on Mercury 8291. Here that old combo goes
on a swinging tunes with them pianist pounding out a great extended solo.
The Larks' "Hold Me", issued on Apollo 1194, brings
us back to a ballad sung by Eugene Mumford, a powerful tenor. The Four
Knights goes on a swinging "That's The Way Its Gonna Be"
with a booting two-chorus sax solo. The Swallows' "Beside
You", The Four Buddies' "You're Part Of Me",
The Orioles' "Don't Cry Baby" and The Four Tunes'
"Let's Give Love Another Chance" are tender ballads
you make like or hate being all build on voices abilities. "The
Last Of The Good Rockin' Man" by The Four Jacks will bring
you alive again with hot sax highlighting the story of that Lovin'
Dan's rival on that song issued on Federal 12087. The Marylanders'
"Make Me Thrill Again" is them second release on "Jubilee"
while The Blazes' "Rug Cutter", a Duke Ellington's
platter from 1937, is nicely sang with scat by Floyd McDaniel that play
guitar in a true Charlie Christian's style. Kinda jazzy! The Sultans'
"Don't Be Angry" was written by Clyde Wright who later
joined The Golden Gate Quartet. Great voice work. From Harlem came The Diamonds who recorded for Atlantic, "A Beggar For Your Kisses", with them leead tenor Harold "Sonny" Wright making a very nice work. Foot taping and happy rhythm music came back with The Du-Droppers going on "Can't Do Sixty No More" issued on Red Robin 108. Caleb Ginyard delivers a jumping answer to The Dominoes with the Ben Smith's quintet. The Enchanters is an all girls group lead by Della Simpson who delivers "I've Lost" with the support of a tasty tenor sax. The Checkers are boasted by two recently departed Dominoes: William "Bill" Brown and Charlie White. These guys were boared of Ward's dictatorial ways went on King record for a first session set on June 1952. "Flame In My Heart" lead by Charlie White feature a nice recitation by Bill Brown. The Five Keys, featured in another volume, are here with "Serve Another Round" while The Mel-O-Dot delivers a energetically mover lead by Earl "Ricky" Wells but wrecked by an organist. The Five Crown, from Harlem, recorded for Rainbow a gorgeous ballad titled "You're My Inspiration". They had three more releases on that label. Follow "Rockin' Daddy-O" a lowdown blues sang by The Heartbreakers and issued on RCA 20-4662. Great stuff that should fit perfectly to The Treniers brothers. Specialty records had always produced great records and "Later" by The Four Flames" makes no exception. Nice mover with muscular sax and strong four-man harmonies. The Dominoes came again for one more goodies, "That's What You're Doing To Me", a great dancing tunes lead by Clyde McPhatter with sax, hand clappin' and great vocal chorus. Follow the Holy Grail for vocal groups aficionados due to its unparalleled rarity, "Stormy Weather" sung by The Five Sharps. No 45 rpm copy are know and just a handful of 78 rpm pressing changed hands over the years. Hailing from the Jamaica section of Queens in NYC, these guys goes on a 1933's classic for what seems to be them only record ever released. "Ting-A-Ling", by The Clovers, was covered by Buddy Holly for "Decca" on July 1956. Issued on Atlantic 969, that song close nicely that CD showing than rhythm and blues and vocal groups offering had change some that year. Volume 5 – 1953 The Rhythm and Blues explosion was in full
swing by 1953. Clyde McPhatter had broken away from Billy Ward's
Dominoes to do his own thing as front man for The Drifters. Billy Ward,
an ex-boxer, and a harsh disciplinarian fired Clyde in May 1953. The Moonglows,
Flamingoes, Platters, Harptones, Spaniels and Spiders all made their début
in 1953. Clyde McPhatter had revolutioned the R&B
vocal group field with its gospel-fueled tenor and "Money Honey"
is a houserocker winner that was picked by Elvis just like "Crying
In The Chapel" by The Orioles that follow. With Sonny Til melodramatic
storyline and stunning voice you're in heaven. Don't forget
about that song been recorded originally by a hillbilly singer by the
name of Darrell Glenn. The Spaniels' "Baby It's You"
is another wonder but from Vee-Jay catalog. James "Pookie"
Hudson' voice skyrocket that first recording on the R & B charts.
The Checkers are back with a superb muscular moving rendition of "White
Cliffs Of Dover", originally recorded by bandleader Glenn Miller.
Premium stuff for dancers. Despite 10 excellent King releases in all extending
to the end of 1954, none of The Checkers' singles climbed in the
charts. Of all the vocal groups Alan Freed helped to break on radio, The
Moonglow probably came first in his heart. Lead by baritone Harvey Fuqua
and lead tenor Bobby Lester, they had them first record on Champagne,
a record label co-owned by Alan Freed and Lew Platt. Alan took half of
the song writing credit under the alias of Al Lance but the record didn't
make it outside Ohio. From here Alan Freed got his protégés
on Chance records and on them first session they cut the blues-soaked
"Baby Please" with a tasty sax support by Red Holloway. The Vocaleers' "Is It A Dream"
was issued on Red Robin 114. Don't need to write much about The
Crows' "Gee", a stunning jumping recording issued on
Rama 5. It was them second release for that label and that song cracked
the charts becoming a definitive 50's classic with a rarely heard
jazzy guitar break probably played by Lloyd "Tiny" Grimes.
A wonder! Even if Daniel "Sonny" Norton' voice was really
something else, the group lasted only for a year or so. Also from Cleveland
were The Coronets who recorded "Nadine", a song written by
Allan Freed (sic), for Chess. A soft and gentle ballad by a little know
vocal combo. The Crickets' "You're Mine" issued
on MGM 11428 is a nice ballad while "Too Much Lovin' (Much
Too Much)" by The '5' Royales is a nice move with great
work on sax by Charlie Ferguson. That song soared to # 4 on The Billboard's "Rhythm and Blues Best Sellers". The definitive and ultimate classic "A Sunday Kind Of Love" was cut by The Harp-Tones from New-York. Writen by Louis Prima in 1946, that old song find a new life with the fabulous voice of Willie Winfield and its partner. It was issued on Bruce 101, the first release for that record label owned by Monte Bruce, Alan Freed's brother in law. That song was one of the most common for the street gang to know who could hit a tune or couldn't. The Flamingoes' "Golden Teardrops" is a smooth ballad while "Good Lovin'", a bluesy rocker, is another impressive contribution by The Clovers. The best musicians from Atlantic roster, Sam "The Man" Taylor (Sax) and Harry Van Walls (piano), were bring along to support Bill Harris on guitar. By then The Clovers seemed unstoppable having massive influence on young white teenagers like Dick Penner or Elvis Presley. The Robins' gave a full vocal treatment to "(Now and Then There's) A Fool Such As I" waxed at them first session for RCA. Borrowed to Hank Snow, that song will be cut by Elvis Presley at the tail end of the 50's. I wonder if Elvis had ever heard that Robins' rendition, he would have liked Bobby Nunn and Grady Chapman lead duties. The Castelles' "My Girl Awaits Me" is a nice ballad sung by a youthfully vulnerable high tenor. "Marie", written by Irving
Berlin was a 1929 hit, when picked by The Four Tunes. Issued on Jubilee
5128 that's a contagious dancing tune with vocal gymnastics still
sang by current bands. The beat slow down with "These Foolish Things
Remind Me Of you" beautifully sang by The Dominoes and issued on
Federal 12129. The Wanderers recorded "We Could Find Happiness"
on Savoy 1109. Nothing special here but a nice bridge from The Dominoes
to The Du Dropper "I Wanna Know" with its gospel delivery.
A very nice moving rocker with sax and piano. The Buccaners recorded "Dear
Ruth" for Southern and The Prisonaires "Just Walkin'
In The Rain" for Sun records in Memphis. That bunch of convicts
lead by Johnny Bragg stacked at the Tennessee State Penitentiary were
driven, under Governor Frank Clement's permission, to the Sun studio
to be recorded by Sam Phillips. That song is pure heaven. The Midnighters'
"Git It", an obviously salacious and suggestive song, was
issued on Federal 12133. "Lovie Darling", recorded by The Cardinals for Atlantic, finds obviously musical inspiration in Lloyd Price's Lawdy Miss Clawdy. A very nice waxing. The Flairs delivers "I Had A Love" with Cornell Gunter taking care of the lead while The Five Keys goes on "My Saddest Hour" issued on Aladdin 3214. It's now time to have The Platters coming on bandstand with them dynamic "Hey Now" issued on Federal 12153. A catchy jump number with Jesse Ervin on guitar. "I", one of the shortest song title you could find, as cut by The Velvets for Red Robin. Charles Sampson' voice is just beautiful. From Chicago came The Five Echoes who recorded "Baby Come Back to Me" for Sabre. A blues-kissed song a bit repetitive. The Swallows' "Nobody's Lovin' Me" is a smooth ballad while "Big Leg Mama" by Van Walls and The Rockets is more muscular. It was them only release for Atlantic. The Hornets "I Can't Believe" was issued on the extremely rare States 127. Only three 45 rpm are know in existence and the last that changed hands goes for $ 18.000. Hard to understand why if you're not a vocal group crazy. The Spiders close that CD with" You're The One" issued on Imperial 5265 and recorded at Cosimo Matassa's location in New-Orleans. Her you've got Lee Allen on tenor sax and Earl Palmer on drums. That first record was a smash and will make them instantly the Crescent City top R&B group. On that first ballot of CDs, the image of the vocal groups was well captured. Every nuance of the lead singer pleading his case in ballad is captured. You can imagine these groups wearing loud colored suit with shoulder pads, white shirt, fancy tie, stage jewellery and hair processed doing them dance routines. Have only ears for them with these very neat CDs. Dominique "Imperial" Anglares - June 18, 2012. |

Naked Image
I stood in front of the mirror this morning after my shower and have you ever had that moment when things become really clear!? WOW, I am REALLY losing weight. My boobs look great too..haha. Probably because I'm not seeing a wobbling mass further down anymore and have better definition.
Just thought I'd share that. I like not feeling embarrassed about my body anymore.

Woohoo - what a great feeling!! I still look down and am surprised not to see a big pregnant belly, lol. Good for you, and I'm sure those moments are just going to keep on coming for you - you're a star!
- 7/6/05 4:22 pm
- K said...
hehe - its always a good day whenn your boobs look great :P
Awesome that you can notice the changes :) - 7/6/05 6:14 pm

This is all far too exciting for me to take.
:) - 7/6/05 7:14 pm

It is great that you can notice the difference in your body, that must be very encouraging!
Jesse - 7/6/05 7:39 pm

Well done how exciting to see the changes, considering we see our own bodies most days it is difficult to visually see the changes but to take notice and check it out makes you feel great huh. Good on you you re doing so well and almost halfway. You go gal..

yay for being naked! :D
- 7/6/05 9:50 pm

Fantastic. I think we have all done that at some stage and I think that it is such a great feeling.
And well done for not being embarrassed. What a star..
Have a gorgeous day. :) - 8/6/05 6:37 am

I have noticed that the smaller my boobs get the less inclined they are to give in to gravity and the younger and more attractive I feel!
Just thought I would share that little bit of information today ;)
You started it! - 8/6/05 7:32 am
- Mary said...
Hehe..great to see I'm not the only one doing it. I was a bit worried there for a second, thinking that it might seem a bit narcissistic but who cares right :-)
AGR, I agree with the younger thing. I strangely felt younger too, like 18 again. I am not very fussed about age but the thought went through my head for a second. - 8/6/05 10:45 am
- M said...
Just read your post on my blog. I laughed. But I think just like you. This is my way of meeting up with mates and having a chat about stuff. Mainly weight stuff but stuff all the same. And there are some weirdo people out there but if I find them (accidently) I tend to just stay away.
I feel younger too. I was having a good old look at the bod the other day and happy to see that the yukky preggo stretch marks have all but faded and my belly button is starting to look straight out instead of at the floor. Too much information? Maybe, but there it is..
What a great sunny day. After a huge bit of cleaning, once I drop DH off at golf (yep we both skipped work today) I am going to go for a walk in the sunshine. Lovely.. - 8/6/05 11:06 am
- Me said...
Yes, I agree with you - it is good to have a look at yourself naked to see how far you have come. I did the same a little while ago and couldn't beleive that I had lost the love handles on my hips - they have been there for sooooo long. Unfortunately, my boobs have succumbed to gravity and there isn't much I can do except stuff them in a bra each day !!! Oh to win the Lotto and have them made smaller !!!!
I think I am becoming addicted to blogging - I sneak looks during work when waiting for reports to run etc - don't have enough time at home to spend much time on the computer so it all has to be done at work. I love the contact with everyone.
Take care and have a great day !
Me - 8/6/05 11:34 am

Kevin Kline, Ashley Judd
Directed by Irwin Winkler
In voice, manner, patrician charm and private torment, Kevin Kline is perfection as legendary composer Cole Porter (1893-1964). His marriage to socialite Linda Lee (a strong Ashley Judd) included a gay life his fans never imagined. Director Irwin Winkler and writer Jay Cocks trip over their admirable ambitions to show Porter's secret heart beating in his music, sung by contemporary artists from Elvis Costello (fine) to Alanis Morissette (feeble). But Kline makes Porter's coaching of a Broadway hunk (John Barrowman) on how to sing "Night and Day" a lesson in seduction. At its best, De-Lovely evokes a time, a place and a sound with stylish wit and sophistication.

Stanford too strong for May and Baker (From Thurrock Gazette)
Get involved: send your pictures, video, news and views by texting TGNEWS to 80360 or you can email us Click here for details »
Great showing for scrum club
8:00pm Friday 26th October 2012 in Sport
Stanford 1sts 25s
May & Baker 22
STANFORD's first string put in a big performance to beat May & Baker at the Rec at the weekend.
Stanford started off with a good strong run, forcing an immediate error from Bakers but over exuberance from Stanford's inside centre Matthew Rumble led to a Bakers interception and a sprint under the Stanford posts in less than a minute of play – and an easy conversion followed.
Rumble was pin point accurate with his restart and Liam Morley was onto the ball before anyone else.
Morley broke several tackles and the second try of the game came, in as many minutes, bringing Stanford back within two points as the conversion was missed.
They proved this in the next few minutes by some very good plays which push Stanford back towards their line.
But then Stanford pressure meant Joe McCallum scored a well-deserved try.
Ash Smith stepped up and added the extra two points.
More points followed to Bakers, but the conversion was missed.
And at the other end Stanford were frustrated when – with only 10 minutes of the first half to play – Stanford saw their wide penalty bounce off the upright – to the frustration of kicker Smith.
But Sam Herbert caught the rebound and Bakers conceded another penalty.
The first half finished 15-17 in favour of Bakers and as the second half started Bakers put more points on the board.
Tempers looked close to boiling over as Danny Jackson – who had had been a problem for the Bakers pack all through the first half – continued disrupting lineout ball.
He made big hits and stole the ball in the tight.
Off the back of a ruck Herbert fed Ash Smith who cut a perfect line taking Stanford up to within 5 metres of the Bakers, line only to be dragged down by a very good cover tackle.
Both sides wasted chances as the action became frenetic and Reece Anderson took three players on only to be dropped inches from the line.
Finally Morley powered over, with Smith adding the following two points to bring the score back to 22 all.
With the game evenly poised Stanford were awarded a penalty which Ash Smith stepped up and calmly put Stanford into the lead.
Bakers were nowhere near done, they came back at Stanford even harder. Bakers were unable to claw back the points and as the final whistle went the Stanford players jumped for joy to win 25 -22 Next week Stanford are on the road with a trip to Brightingsea.
