Liquorice Heaven" by Zara
Black Soft Eating Liquorice - Natural
I keep my secret supply in a drawer in my sewing/ironing room. This is to tempt me to do the ironing/mending, the fact that I am on my own and do not have to share the liquorice with anyone has nothing to do with it of course!!!!!!

Police in Scott County are investigating after they say a ninth-grade student came to school with a gun Thursday morning.
According to a letter sent to parents, students at Scott County Ninth Grade School reported to school officials at about 8:45 a.m. that they saw another ninth-grade student with a handgun. Officials immediately conducted a search of the student and found an unassembled and unloaded gun.
School officials said they are working with Georgetown Police on the investigation, but say they believe this was an isolated incident and that the student did not intend to harm anyone and was trying to "show off and impress friends."
The letter did not say if the student with the gun was arrested or detained.

Bear in Heaven @ MHOW 9/17/2014
Was it less of a challenge to create things intuitively without agonizing over them?Bear in Heaven wrapped up their North American tour for their new album with two shows in NYC: Tuesday (9/16) at Bowery Ballroom and then Wednesday (9/17) on their home turf of Music Hall of Williamsburg. Opening both shows were the well-matched, vibe-wise, fellow Brooklynites Young Magic and WIFE (the electronic solo project from Altar of Plagues frontman James Kelly). Pictures from the night are in this post.
JP: Oddly not. It's like when you do things like that, other things become challenging. Most of our songs are, at first inception, generally layered--lots and lots of stuff going on, lots of parts. And then as we went on making it, we just kept pulling parts out, pulling sounds out. I think by the time we were done, we really got to the point where we were like, "We're sort of at the core of this music." That's what we were looking for--trying to find the center.
It's tricky, you know, because we historically are this band who sort of, like, have big sound, you know, lots of things going on. So to do something going in the opposite direction, it's a little frightening. The last song on our record starts a cappella. Playing it live, it's crazy. - [Columbia Spectator]
WIFE snuck in a third show while here, playing very late at Baby's All Right last night / this morning. Anybody check that out? More pics from Wednesday's MHOW show below...

As mentioned, Bear in Heaven's new album Time Is Over One Day Old is out next week via Dead Oceans. The record furthers their interstellar travels via fat waves of synths, heavy on grooves and rolling drums. (The album title, by the way, comes from an error message on a friend's television.) You can stream the album in its entirety over at NPR.
The band also consistently make interesting videos which continues on their just-released one for "Time Between." Directed by Nick Bentgen, it was filmed over the course of an month across the five-borroughs during the late night fringe hours. It's quite pretty, and a little creepy/tense at times, and you can watch over at the The NY Times.
Bear in Heaven play a record release party on Monday (8/4) at Rough Trade NYC which is free with purchase of the new album (you get two entry wristbands with each purchase). Then they'll be back in September at the end of their tour for two homecoming shows at Bowery Ballroom (9/16) and Music Hall of Williamsburg (9/17), both with Young Magic. Tickets are still available.

Helio Parallax @ Union Pool, 6/20/2014
Helio Parallax -- featuring Josh Werner (CocoRosie), Takuya Nakamura, and Marihito Ayabe (Dub Nomads) -- just put out their debut album via Bill Laswell's new label, M.O.D. Technologies. The group, which combines jazz, dub and electronics, celebrated the release with a show last weekend (6/20) at Union Pool. The trio were joined by a guest saxophonist and drummer for a few songs as well, the lights were kept low, which made for a groovy, very chill evening. If you haven't heard Helio Parallax's album, you can stream it via Rdio.
White Bike opened, and Adam from Bear in Heaven DJ'd afterwards. Pictures from the evening are in this post and continue below...

Jarvis Cocker, Four Tet, Max Tundra, YACHT, Rustie and more contribute to 'Everything is New' charity project (streams)
The goal of the Everything is New project is to empower the children of Light of Love Children's Home, many of whom have been rescued from bonded labour, child prostitution, homelessness and abject poverty. The project creates the opportunity for the children to 'star' in the cultural forms they themselves consider most meaningful - popular music and cinema.The Everything is New project has resulted in two albums, both of which are out January 20: Sun Choir, which was composed and recorded by Scottish art-pop band Marram with the kids of Southeast India's Light of Love Children's Home and features guest appearances from Jarvis Cocker, Owen Pallett, Irvine Welsh and more; and BOATS where artists such as Four Tet, Rustie, Dan Deacon, YACHT, Bear in Heaven, Deerhoof's Greg Saunier, Max Tundra, Gang Gang Dance and more took samples of the children and built songs around them.
Proceeds from the project go to the charity Scottish Love in Action which feeds, clothes, houses, educates and provides medical care for over 500 children through the Light of Love Home and School. You can stream Rustie, YACHT, Jarvis Cocker and Four Tet's tracks below.
There's also a 70-minute feature film that's included with physical copies of the Sun Choir album. You can watch a short and a not so short making of videos below...

The Free Keys & surviving Yellow Dogs members pay tribute to slain brothers; NY Post still the NY Post ++++ Wikileaks docs
After yesterday's confusing, sad news that members of Yellow Dogs were murdered by Raefe Ahkbar, former apparently disgruntled member of Yellow Dogs' "sister band" The Free Keys, the surviving members Koory and Obash have paid tribute to their bandmates, though briefly for now and via social media. On Facebook, they wrote "Thanks every one for all your prayers and condolences. We still can't believe this tragedy . R.I.P Arash Farazmand, Soroush Farazmand , and Ali Eskandarian." They also tweeted "Still in shock, we lost 3 of our brothers, Soroush Farazmand, Arash Farazmand and Ali Eskandarian, Rest In Peace."
Other bands have paid tribute too, like Black Lips, who posted a message yesterday, and Bear In Heaven, who tweeted, "Got the news about The Yellow Dogs at 830am from an old friend. Instantly sad, now feels totally tragic. Unprecedented. :/"
Now, a message has also been posted by The Free Keys, Yellow Dogs' sister band and former band of the shooter. They write, "We are shocked and heartbroken. We lost our family which we spent our lifetime together. Arash and Soroush were my true brothers. Thank you to everyone for the support. I don't know what I can say."
The Free Keys don't mention Ali Eskandarian by name. Ali is also the one that every news story claims is not in the Yellow Dogs, but according to recent interviews and pictures we found yesterday, he was also in the band, at least for a little while, and as recently as March.
Meanwhile, another detail on the shooting emerged that the gunman had 100 rounds of ammo on him. Police were said to have found 81 unfired rounds and some magazines in a guitar case on the roof where the shooter killed himself.
Pictured above is today's NY Post's new cover where the band is pictured with the sensationalist headline, "Fled Iran only to be gunned down in B'klyn." If you were wondering why they left Iran to begin with, you can take a look at the intriguing but sad cable released by WikiLeaks that details the trouble they faced for being a rock band by the Iranian government, which caused them to apply for US visas in 2009.
Watch a video by Yellow Dogs below...

outsider artist Lonnie Holley opened for Deerhunter, opening for Bill Callahan, released an LP (pics, dates & streams)
photos by Amanda Hatfield
Lonnie Holley at Music Hall of Williamsburg - 9/17/13
Since 1979, [Lonnie] Holley has devoted his life to the practice of improvisational creativity. His art and music, born out of struggle, hardship, but perhaps more importantly, out of furious curiosity and biological necessity, has manifested itself in drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, performance, and sound. Holley's sculptures are constructed from found materials in the oldest tradition of African American sculpture. Objects, already imbued with cultural and artistic metaphor, are combined into narrative sculptures that commemorate places, people, and events.The above quote is from Dust to Digital, the label that released both music albums from outsider artist Lonnie Holley: 2012's Just Before Music and this year's Keeping a Record of It, which came out earlier this month (9/3). Lonnie's music has slowly started reaching a larger audience, as he's made a fan out of multiple indie musicians. Bear in Heaven named his debut as one of their favorites of 2012, and perhaps most notably, Deerhunter's Bradford Cox has taken an interest in him.
Holley did not start making and performing music in a studio nor does his creative process mirror that of the typical musician. His music and lyrics are improvised on the spot and morph and evolve with every event, concert, and recording. In Holley's original art environment, he would construct and deconstruct his visual works, repurposing their elements for new pieces. This often led to the transfer of individual narratives into the new work creating a cumulative composite image that has depth and purpose beyond its original singular meaning. The layers of sound in Holley's music, likewise, are the result of decades of evolving experimentation.
Bradford and Cole Alexander of Black Lips both contributed to the 13+ minute song "From the Other Side of the Pulpit" from Keeping a Record of It, which you can stream, along with another album track "Six Space Shuttles and 144,000 Elephants," below.
Deerhunter have also had him open some of the shows on their tour this year. Back in August, he opened their San Francisco show that also included Animal Collective side project Avey Tare's Slash Flick, and at that show both Bradford Cox and Avey Tare joined Lonnie on stage (video below). He also just opened for Deerhunter in Brooklyn at Music Hall of Williamsburg on Tuesday (9/17), the first of three Deerhunter shows in NYC this week. At that show, Bradford also joined him on drums for one of the songs. Pictures of Lonnie's set at MHOW are in this post.
Lonnie Holley will be heading out on the road again as an opener on Bill Callahan's tour. That tour brings Bill and Lonnie to NYC on October 6 at Webster Hall. Tickets for that show are still available. All Lonnie Holley dates are listed, along with more pictures from MHOW, song stream and video, below.

Union Pool's Summer Thunder series continues through September (Brazos, Dungeonesse, DJ Dog Dick & more)
Labor Day is past but it's still technically summer and Union Pool is running its free Summer Thunder series every Saturday through the end of the month. This weekend's show (9/14) is being presented by Secretly Canadian and is a bit of a mystery. Gentlemen Jets headline, and there's also a slot for ".?." We do know that Martin from Brazos will do a solo set (Jessie from Luyas was supposed to play with him, but she had to cancel), and J.Ek from Wye Oak side project Dungeonesse will do a DJ set, as will D.Jane Gherkin, and Bear in Heaven's Adam Wills. The party starts around 2 PM with live bands going on later in the day.
Then on September 21 it's DJ Dog Dick, I.U.D. and DJ Dago with more to be announced. September 28 will be the season finale, that they aren't announcing yet. Stay tuned.
Bear in Heaven at Bowery Ballroom on Tuesday (more by Greg Cristman)
Kent Avenue club Glasslands is turning seven this summer and they're throwing a birthday party on July 25 with live sets from Bear in Heaven and Quinn Walker and DJ sets from Lemonade and Aaron of Rewards. It's $5 at the door but you do need to RSVP.
As you may know, Bear in Heaven just wrapped up their tour with Wire, having played Bowery Ballroom on Tuesday (7/16). And if you want to see Lemonade play live instead of DJ, they'll be at Mercury Lounge next Saturday (7/27) with Selebrities. That show is free but you need to RSVP via the Thrillcall mobile app.

Wire @ Bowery Ballroom, 7/16/2013
With a genuinely terrific new album to work from, legendary art-punks Wire brought their tour to Bowery Ballroom last night (8/17). While the sold-out show was heavy with songs from Change Becomes Us, their set had a nice number of classic cuts too, including "Map Ref 41°N 93°W," "Boiling Boy," "Pink Flag" and their dugga-dugga-dugga-ing 1986 single "Drill." Setlist is below.
While Brooklyn's Bear in Heaven may not seem the most obvious tour match, their waves of synths sound isn't miles away from Wire's mid-to-late '80s output. Photos from both bands are in this post.

Bear in Heaven @ MHOW, May 2012 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
Born 21 years ago in a cafe ('The Tropicana') in Sydney, Australia, Tropfest is now the world's largest short film festival. It is supported by some of the biggest names in the international film community and has received thousands of submissions for its film festivals in Australia, New Zealand, Tropfest Arabia in Abu Dhabi and elsewhere. Tropfest in Australia attracts a live national audience of more than 150,000 people on a single night with live satellite links to outdoor locations in major cities around the country.Short Film showcase Tropfest comes to NYC for a second year, happening June 22 in Prospect Park's "Nethermead."

GOAT made their North American live debut at Music Hall of Williamsburg with Holy Wave (pics, review)
photos by PSquared Photography; words by Bill Pearis
The lights went down and I think half the crowd lit up, as Music Hall of Williamsburg instantly reeked of pot. GOAT, Sweden's premier voodoo disco psych band, took the stage for their first-ever North American show and the packed house was primed to get their minds blown. Dressed in robes and tunics and wearing a variety of masks and hoods, the band came out and without a word to the audience started laying down the fuzzed-out, conga-driven grooves. The band were about as stoic as Oasis, but sounded fantastic and were tight as hell. (The Swedes really excel at this type of thing.) Luckily, the two female masked singers made up for it by dancing up a storm. There was also some dude in front of me doing the hippy dance the whole show but I'm trying to forget that.
We got most of last year's World Music, including "Let it Bleed" which featured a skronky guest saxophonist who looked like he just left the Sun Ra's Ark. GOAT also played both sides of their upcoming Sub Pop single. Apart from wishing the show was somewhere smaller and sweatier (like Glasslands where the show was originally supposed to happen), they definitely met my expectations for this show, even if my mind remained intact.
Opening the night was Austin's Holy Wave who definitely in the Brian Jonestown Massacre / Black Angels school of post-VU psych. They were good and their set was definitely aided by the oldschool trippy oil-based visuals from the folks at Drippy Eye Projections. Bear in Heaven kept things weird as between-set DJs.
Both GOAT and Holy Wave will play Austin Psych Fest this weekend. More pictures from last night's MHOW set are below.

As mentioned before, Sweden's finest retro-psychedelic afrobeat freakout band, Goat, will be making their first trip to North America this spring. Their NYC stop on the tour, April 23 at Glasslands, sold out quick and demand was high so the show has been moved to Music Hall of Williamsburg with Holy Wave opening and a DJ set from Bear in Heaven. Additional tickets go on sale Wednesday (1/30) at noon. All tour dates are listed below.

Now Now
As mentioned previously, Bob Mould will be back in NYC next month for two shows at Bowery Ballroom on February 26 - 27 and tickets are still available. What we didn't know at the time was who was opening the shows, which we now do. Bear in Heaven will open the 2/26 show and Minneapolis trio Now Now will open the 2/27 show. Tickets to both Bowery shows are still available.
Bear in Heaven, who played here last month, have a few other dates coming up, including Chicago's Tomorrow Never Knows Festival next week and a few dates with Hooray for Earth. '
Now Now, meanwhile, are also on the road and will hit NYC before the Bob Mould show as part of the Heavy & Light tour that hits Irving Plaza on February 13 and also features Jon Foreman (of Switchfoot), Anthony Raneri, The Lone Bellow and Will Anderson. Tickets for that show are on sale now.
Back to Bob, the Kickstarter for his concert DVD was successfully funded, and See a Little Light comes out January 15 and you can pre-order it here.

Gardens & Villa at Webster Hall in October (more by Amanda Hatfield)
Santa Barbara indie pop crew Gardens & Villa haven't given us an album since their 2011 self titled debut on Secretly Canadian, but they did treat us to some music this year with a cover of "Gypsy" for the the Fleetwood Mac tribute album, Just Tell Me That You Want Me, and a remix of their tourmates Polica's "The Maker" for Polica's remix EP.
We asked the band for a list of their top 10 songs of 2012, and like their own sound, most of the artists they chose lean on the indie pop side of things like Beach House, Ariel Pink, Peaking Lights, Pure Bathing Culture, and others. You can check out their full list below.
Freelance Whales @ Webster Hall, 11/7/2012 (more by Sarah Gainer)
Winsome indie outfit Freelance Whales released their latest album, Diluvia, back in October and were just on NPR's World Cafe for a chat about the album and live session as well. You can stream the whole thing over at NPR. The band are also have a few shows with Hundred Waters coming up including Maxwell's on January 15 (tix), Music Hall of Williamsburg on January 29 (tix). The band were kind enough to give us their Top 10 LPs of 2012, which includes some of their Brooklyn neighbors (Bear in Heaven, Here We Go Magic), their tour-mates Hundred Waters, and year-end list regulars Tame Impala, Purity Ring and Django Django. Check out their full list below.

Bear in Heaven @ MHOW, May 2012 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
As mentioned, Bear in Heaven are playing Music Hall of Williamsburg tonight (12/5) and tickets are still available for that show. One dollar from each ticket sold is going towards Hurricane Sandy relief, and 10% of the bar at the band's afterparty at Public Assembly will go to relief as well.
Meanwhile, frontman Jon Philpot was kind enough to send us his Top 10 LPs of 2012 which includes some of his Brooklyn neighbors (Grizzly Bear, Yeasayer) and a few other familiar names to these lists this year (Frank Ocean, Scott Walker) but his number one is new compilation of Italian '70s progressive/spacerock artist Sensations' Fix titled Music Is Painting in the Air. There's some pretty cool synth work on it that you could see being an influence on Bear in Heaven. You can stream the entire Sensations' Fix (all 30 tracks) LP below and check out Philpot's list in full.

Bleached sign to Dead Oceans; labelmates APTBS, Bear in Heaven, Sun Airway & Night Beds have NYC shows soon
Los Angeles' punky, poppy Bleached (Jennifer and Jessica Clavin, formerly of Mika Miko) have just signed to Dead Oceans and the label will release the band's debut album sometime next year. The record was produced by Darker My Love's Rob Barbato and Jennifer Clavin told SPIN that the album will be more than more of what we've heard before:
What we really wanted to do was explore. We've been doing this since we were teenagers and we have a certain sound on our last three seven-inches, but we wanted to show some variety. This new record has songs you'll be familiar with, but there are also things that will be a surprise. It's just really fun.Bleached just wrapped up a tour with Japandroids and have a couple shows in California coming up, including one opening for Ty Segall at the El Rey Theatre in L.A. on December 15.
Speaking of Dead Oceans, some of Bleached's new labelmates have shows coming up. A Place to Bury Strangers will play 285 Kent on Saturday (12/1) as part of a Hurricane Sandy relief benefit with Liturgy, Total Slacker and Royal Baths.
Bear in Heaven play Music Hall of Williamsburg on December 5 with Small Black and Eraas. Tickets are still available and part of the proceeds from that show will go to Sandy relief too, as will part of the bar at the afterparty which happens next door at Public Assembly.
Sun Airway, who were last through town with M83, play Glasslands on December 7 with Historics. Advance tickets are still available.
And newish Dead Oceans signee Night Beds, who released their first 7" for the label a couple months ago, have a show coming up at Pianos on December 11 with Snowmine and St. Claire. Tickets are still available.
Bear in Heaven released new remix (stream); upcoming MHOW show and afterparty aid Sandy relief (win tix)
Bear in Heaven @ MHOW, May 2012 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
"World of Freakout" is one of the strongest cuts off Bear in Heaven's I Love You, It's Cool which came out earlier this year, with throbbing bass and synths ripe for the dancefloor. The band has handed the track over to Nicolas Jaar's Darkside collaborator Dave Harrington who strips it down a bit, making it more of a sleek night drive kind of track. We've got the premiere of this remix which is streamable below.
As mentioned previously, Bear in Heaven are playing Music Hall of Williamsburg on December 5 with Small Black and Eraas. Tickets are still available but if you'd like to go for free we're also giving a pair away. Details on how to enter are below. Bear in Heaven are donating $1 for every ticket sold to Hurricane Sandy relief via Rockaways based Smallwater relief fund.
There's an afterparty for the show happening next door at Public Assembly (doors 11:30 PM) which is free but is also a Smallwater relief fund benefit, and 10% of the bar will go to the fund, so if you go, drink up and order the good stuff. Dave Harrington, Small Black and Bear in Heaven will be DJing.
The Dave Harrington remix of "World of Freakout" is below.

People's Bailout show with Jeff Mangum now on sale; Hurricane benefits scheduled @ Highline & Glasslands
The day when a bill Jeff Mangum on it selling out instantly might be gone, but take note that tickets just went on sale for the 11/15 "People's Bailout, a variety show and telethon to benefit the 99%". The updated lineup is Janeane Garofalo, Lizz Winstead, Max Silvestri, Hari Kondabolu, David Rees, The Yes Men, John Cameron Mitchell, Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel, Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth, Guy Picciotto of Fugazi, Tunde Adebimpe of TV on the Radio, Climbing Poetree, the Invisible Army of Defaulters, members of Healthcare for the 99%, Occupy Faith, "and many more."

The Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk & Anders Osborne show at Highline Ballroom on 11/5 is one though. Amy Helm, Eric Krasno (Soulive/Lettuce), Luther Dickinson (N. Miss Allstars), Bela Fleck and Questlove and more are on the bill so far. Tickets are on sale.

Like in past years, the festival includes some legends like Thomas Dolby and GZA performing Liquid Swords (like he is in NYC and other cities), some of our favorite newcomers like Julia Holter, Trust, and Disclosure, electronic heavy hitters like Orbital, Four Tet, Squarepusher, Richie Hawtin, Mouse on Mars, and Prefuse 73 with Teebs, in addition to a diverse list of other artists like Killer Mike, El-P, The Magnetic Fields, Explosions in the Sky, Primus, Santigold, Divine Fits, Actress, Pantha Du Prince, Bear in Heaven, and more. Tickets for this year's fest go on sale Friday (8/10) at noon. The initial lineup is listed below.
Orbital, who released their new album, Wonky, this year, which featured a track with Zola Jesus, have a few other North American dates this year (still none in NYC though).
For Divine Fits, the new band featuring Britt Daniel (Spoon), Dan Boeckner (Wolf Parade/Handsome Furs), and Sam Brown (New Bomb Turks), who recently made their live debut in Austin, Moogfest is one of the few shows they've got scheduled this year, including the Chicago show they played last night (8/5) and an upcoming NYC show.
Moogfest 2012 lineup is listed below.

Sensory Overload. That is how I'd describe Bear in Heaven's show at Music Hall of Williamsburg on Wednesday (5/9) night. There were '80s goth band levels of fog machine and a barrage of cool lights to go with it, both of which matched well to the bombastic space jams Bear in Heaven produce. Those big fat synths the band favors sound great really loud, as do drummer Joe Stickney's Miami Vice-style fills. I wish the new album, I Love You It's Cool, had the drums mixed that loud, it's definitely one of the signatures of BiH's live show.
They played Bowery Ballroom the night before, but the Music Hall show was the final night of the five-week tour promoting I Love You It's Cool, and playing before a neighborhood crowd the band were both punchy and pumped, especially singer John Philpot who was dancing even more than he usually does. The Zambri sisters hopped on stage to dance during "Reflection of You" and then sang -- as they often do at hometown shows -- on "Lovesick Teenagers."
Both openers on the bill made good use of the projection screen. Portland's Blouse had washed-out slow-mo imagery that looked like a Cocteau Twins album cover come to life which suited the band's rainy day dance music. Montreal's Doldrums played in front of what seemed to duped-over videocassettes, which is kind of what their music sounds like too, though the band (now a trio) sound more and more like a cohesive unit and less like the weird dabblings of Eric Asher every day.
More pictures from the show, with Bear in Heaven's setlist, below...

A variety of swimming lessons to suit all ages and abilities are offered throughout the summer in four different sessions.

- nice dinnerdoteatsoutDined on 11/5/2014This was our first visit to Out of the Blue . It was very good - apps, entree, dessert. Blue fish was substantive and mouth watering. Everyone was pleasedSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Saturday Evening before ConcertDavisdenizenDined on 10/25/2014I have "lived" in The square (Davis)for 35 years and in spite of 50 + rated restaurants within 600 yards of Davis Square T station, this is a unique and reliable Mediterranean Seafood destination. I've nearly checked off each item on the current menu and have many favorites including Lobster Fra Diavolo, Baked Haddock and Linguini, etc. all with the lovely dry Rose from Crete. To owners, Steve, Lydia and Elaine and all the focused guys in the kitchen, I thank you for many hours of lovely dining and conversation with close friends, on Saturday evenings before a concert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sat. night during the Honk FestivalSubdharmabumDined on 10/11/2014We had another wonderful dinner with friends this past Saturday night. Although the Honk festival was underway in the square and the place was bursting at the seams they did a good job seating us close to the reservation time. The food was very good and fresh and the server was attentive, polite and took good care of us.Special Features:
- Excellent seafoodKittyDined on 9/26/2014Best place around for fish! Wide variety of food options. We have never had a bad meal here! Loved our server Frank! He was attentive, personable and very professional.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Like salt and loud noise?openopentabletableDined on 9/19/2014The server (very welcoming staff, relatively attentive) mentioned that the seafood risotto was his favorite. I hope he hydrates a ton, because that was one salty dish! In general, all the dishes in our 5-top were mostly flavorless, except for salt. :/
- GinnyDined on 9/12/2014We had a wonderful lunch. The food was delicious and the waiter was very attentive. We will go back again!Special Features:
- PerfectCarlVIPDined on 8/23/2014Cioppini to die for. Fresh vibrant salads. Nice, moderately priced Geek wine. Warm service. What more to ask on a summer night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cute little placeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014This place is a great place to go if you are looking for something less crowded in Davis Square. The food is really good and the service quick and pleasant.
- Too quietscottyVIPDined on 8/21/2014I really enjoyed our server. I didn't catch his name, but he was young up beat and communicative. The oysters were fab- one of my favorite things to splurge on when I go out. My only complaint is one of them were bad- and I was still charged for it. The meals weren't up to par. My fiancé got the surf and turf and I had the clams and fettucini. The presentation needs work and the flavor needs sprucing. The calamari was awesome- the batter was flavorful. If it weren't for the server, we probably wouldn't have enjoyed ourselves.
- The following 72 reviews are from the Out of the Blue reviews archive.
- Amazing place!xxxxDined on 7/26/2014Fantastic food and service. One of best seafood restaurants in Boston area. Unassuming and very pleasant. Good for all ages, size of parties, and occasions.Special Features:

My friends hubby got lobster far diavlo, loved it. Apps were delicious and the service was great. We have been there before and will go back again. Now if I could just get something other than the salmon. LolSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- cad128Dined on 6/22/2014Always dependable, wait staff is terrific, reasonably priced
- outstanding meal and serviceBostonVisitorDined on 6/21/2014We've gone there many times over the years and always enjoyed it. They topped there best on Saturday night - the BEST 3 dishes we ever had. We just kept eating off of each other's plates so we could enjoy all the flavors. Wow!Special Features:
- Personal AttentionRestaurantRegularVIPDined on 6/13/2014We had such a great evening here - Charlie, our server was excellent. In addition to great overall service, he helped us figure out our cocktail flavor preferences and made each of us amazing drinks - Vanilla Vodka Gimlet for me - yummy. The food was terrific - a great night all the way around.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I forgot how good the food was hereNandrewDined on 6/13/2014We used to have dinner at Out of the Blue on a semi-regular basis, but I hadn't been in a few years. Everything we ordered was delicious. The dishes we had included: fried calamari appetizer (you might want to ask for more lemon slices), linguini with littleneck clams (several of us got this and were happy we did), fried fish and clam platter. Delicious tiramisu for dessert.Special Features:
- great valuejpnewtonDined on 6/7/2014great food, good drinks, terrific staff, and all at very moderate pricing for the quality. VERY good about honoring our reservation !!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Italian place, not a seafood placeGingernaiDined on 6/7/2014The food was delicious but right out of a70s Italian restaurant. Our waitress was outstanding! It is a very small place and the noise level is really high. I was disappointed that they only served 3 kinds of fish: haddock, salmon and swordfish. The rest were shellfish and meat.Special Features:
- Great Seafood in "The Square"CAG2Dined on 6/6/2014We enjoy the great seafood at "Out of the Blue". Usually have the Fried Clam appetizer. This visit we had Swordfish and Stuffed Shrimp. Food was excellent - service good. On our list to return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Surprisingly GoodBuffaloBillDined on 5/11/2014We read reviews online and people seemed impressed by the quality of the food, so we decided to give this Davis Square restaurant a try. We got a bit of reservers' remorse when we approached the storefront, which is a little dated looking. When we entered, we were greatest by a wonderful blast of garlicky aroma that tipped us off--the food would be something to remember. We stood at the door for a bit, it seemed like there was one guy who was playing waiter, expediter, and host and just a few others bringing out food and bussing tables. Good came out surprisingly quick and everything we ordered was delicious and well prepared. It isn't the elegantly plated seafood you will find elsewhere, but it's great for a quality affordable seafood fix.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/10/2014Extremely fresh oysters! Our senses were treated to wonderful aromas up walking in the door. Sign and store could use a lift...we had visited location next door multiple times and didn't know your restaurant was there. Not, to mention so...good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and iindoor scenic viewsbosbobVIPDined on 5/9/2014Out of the Blue has so many wonderful gifts from the blue seas!! The murals are go good it feels like eating next to the ocean. Staff are top notch.Special Features:
- Neighborhood Gemout2eatDined on 5/3/2014This place is upscale dining in a casual atmosphere. The seafood is fresh and the menu outstanding. We've been going to this restaurant for years and it is consistently very good. The hipsters can have their noisy Davis Square Bars (which can be fun) but if you want really great food in a restaurant where you can have a conversation.Special Features:
- An average good placeDhanVIPDined on 4/27/2014We liked the creativity shown on the menu, like the 'Red pepper salad' and the 'broccoli - spinach appetizer', both of which were well prepared, tasty and well presented. Most other items were average. Out of the Blue is an average but nice restaurant with reasonable prices.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decent but not amazingAnnieDined on 4/19/2014Everything we ordered was okay, but nothing was great. Overall, it was a good dinner out, but nothing amazing.
- Always goodCaptainHaddockVIPDined on 4/12/2014Good seafood expertly prepared with classic saucing. Great value. Service is very good. Wine list small but you should find something you like. Dessert choice tiny but all home made and very good indeed. The restaurant is so small the chefs can see when you have finished your appetizer and fire the main at the right time. When food is ready it comes to the table immediately and does not sit under a heat lamp. Not fancy at all and one of the best seafood restaurants around.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decent food at reasonable pricesgwerlinichDined on 3/22/2014After reading all the glowing reviews, I booked a dinner with a friend. I found the food to be ok, but honestly nothing special. It took a while after we sat down before someone brought us our menus and took a drink order. The crab cakes didn't seem to have much crab in them. The salmon special was overly laden with sauce and the sweet potato wasn't cooked enough. The prices were very reasonable though, making the food a better value. Overall, I'd have to guess there are better meals elsewhere.Special Features:
- Food Variable - Place Noisyanimallover1VIPDined on 3/22/2014We selected this restaurant as a neighborhood opportunity. Unfortunately, we selected swordfish as an entrée. It was dry, and not edible. Clam chowder was OK,. Scallops were outstanding. Bottom line - variable food quality.Special Features:
- A gem in Davis SquareKittyDined on 3/5/2014This place is fabulous! The service is outstanding and the food is fresh and delicious. Great menu selection and they cater to special requests.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious Italian seafood.OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 2/22/2014Delicious Italian seafood. The grilled octopus appetizer was tender and flavorful, scallops and pasta was simple and brought out the flavors of the scallops, mahi-mahi special made me think for a minute I might be in Florida instead of Somerville. Wait staff was attentive but not intrusive. The restaurant was on the noisy side but we could hear each other without difficulty when seated at our table. Happy to find this place in Zagat's--would definitely go back if I were in the area.Special Features:
- Local FavoritePaulDined on 2/15/2014We had reservations for a party of 7 on Saturday night of Valentines Weekend. Table set up in small alcove of restaurant for us that provided privacy and ample space to talk and enjoy a great meal. Owners Steve & Lydia make you feel like you are eating in their home kitchen. Friendly atmosphere. If it's not spelled out on the menu, just ask. They will do whatever you want in preparation, variation of seafood. Very accomodating! Food is always fresh, nicely prepared and just enough for reasonable pricing. Why go to overpriced, over advertised, seafood restaurants when Out of Blue is the best. A neighborhood gem that everyone needs to visit and go back over and over again.Special Features:
- No-Frills Italian SeafoodDYBBUKDined on 2/14/2014The food was well prepared and seafood very fresh. We ordered a Vouvray that was available by the glass -- too sweet -- like a desert wine! We ordered a Sancerre, --quite good but rather expensive. The fried calimari, caesar salad, frutte di mare and clams in white sauce were all above average. Not quite the North End but fine for a neighborhood night out. Ordinary white bread - would prefer pain de compagne. Nothing especially romantic or special for Valentine's Day. Strange that the lights kept dimming too -- some kind of electrical problem. But the service was very attentive and the food was good. There is plenty of parking at that end of Davis Square and The cannoli was outstanding -- what more does one need?
- Best seafoodOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 2/14/2014Really excellent food quality, that surprised me. Service was adequate. My only issue, is it was extremely loud. But that would not stop me from going again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Davis Square Gem!KK1029VIPDined on 2/7/2014Out of the Blue is our go to restaurant when we want to relax, be pampered and enjoy excellent food. This family owned and run restaurant cares about its food and takes excellent care of the people is serves. Meal pacing is excellent and we continue to try and enjoy new dishes. It is a lovely place in a great location and I highly recommend it.Special Features:
- Davis Square favoriteLaurieADined on 2/4/2014We leave just a few blocks away and it is our go-to favorite in the square. We've been back several times and the food is always fresh and tasty. Good wine list and beers.Special Features:
- Love this place!OpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 1/26/2014Every time we go, we are very satisfied and happy customers! The food is ALWAYS perfect, and the service is great. If you haven't tried it, you must!!Special Features:
- Good food but...NacoDined on 1/19/2014We really enjoyed the food a lot and loved that they had gluten free options. However, it seemed to take a really long time to get the food, especially since it did not seem that busy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic seafood, fair processtheelkVIPDined on 1/17/2014The family could not have been more pleased. The was great variety on the menu and everything was perfectly cooked to order.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Seafood and red sauceOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 1/10/2014This is the food people expect from a good restaurant in the North End (but seldom find in the North End). Red sauce, pasta & seafood. A few special things on the menu - the octopus app is great, but a lot of uniquely Italian dishes - e.g., no scungilli or sardines. Service is courteous and prompt. Ambience in o.k. Not too noisy. Much better than many Boston icons like Giacomo's. Did I mention that there is ample street parking? Davis square still has a vibe. So for a straight ahead Italian seafood place with reasonable prices, it hits the spot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

'Rare windows' are back at the NY Times!
Longtime grasshoppers may remember that back in 2009 we had some fun with the frequent use of "rare windows" in New York Times stories. What this essentially signified was that an additional tidbit shed some light on a topic of current interest.
The Times's window wielders went to ground after that, but lately have re-appeared, in a story about Yemen that ran in yesterday's editions. I wonder if copyeditors got written into their contract the right to use this and certain other handy clichés to frame stories.

Lions Beach Closed Until Further Notice
The most recent water quality test conducted at Lions Beach resulted in elevated bacteria levels in the swimming area. Leisure Services takes weekly water samples to monitor E. coli bacteria and sends them to the State Hygiene Lab in Madison for testing. All previous results in 2012 have been good. However, our most recent sample result (2,419 ppm) requires us to close the beach until further notice. The water quality standard states that any test result between 0-250 ppm is safe for swimming. Any test result between 250-1,000 ppm is safe for swimming, but requires public notice. Any test result greater than 1,000 ppm requires the swimming area be closed for swimming until further notice. Beach closure signs will be removed when the sample result of one day of sampling following an exceedance is below the established criteria. Counts will vary during the season depending on usage and environmental factors. Please call Leisure Services at 755-3030 for questions.

PETERSBURG, Va. - Petersburg is changing its city seal to correct a reference to Virginia.
The current seal contains the words "State of Virginia." Virginia is a commonwealth.
City spokeswoman Joanne Williams tells The Progress-Index ( http://bit.ly/TokSgR) that City Manager William Johnson noticed the oversight.
Williams says the current seal was first designed in the 1990s.
Petersburg's oldest known seal appeared in the 1800s. Williams says the city still has the original wax stamp.

Thinker Dictator Soldier Slave
Madison Smartt Bell Plumbs The Enigmatic Depths Of Haitian Revolutionary Toussaint Louverture
Toussaint Louverture: A Biography
|Madison Smartt Bell
|Release Date:
Sitting in permanent retirement in St. Helena in 1820, Napoleon wrote in his memoirs that the island of Saint-Domingue "would always rest on a volcano." He meant that figuratively and literally. In 1802 he sent 40,000 French troops to Saint-Domingue to quell the first successful slave revolt in history. Ravaged by yellow fever and insurgency and terrorized by brutal and bloody combat, only a few thousand ever returned. With the benefit of hindsight, Napoleon probably wondered why anyone would even try to gain control over an island that seemed doomed to political, racial, and natural eruptions.
Since then, the reputation of Saint-Domingue--which became Haiti in 1805--hasn't improved much. To most Americans, Haiti is a classic Third World environmental and political nightmare, whose history is an endless series of bloody coups. With Toussaint Louverture: A Biography Madison Smartt Bell reminds us that Haiti's history is a dark mix of triumphs and tragedies. Saint-Domingue, in 1791, was home of the first successful slave revolt in the Americas and, in 1805, the first independent black state. At the core of this revolution was the enigmatic and charismatic ex-slave Louverture, who served as leader of the revolt and, briefly, as governor of the new state.
Bell's fascination with the era is infectious. The Goucher College creative writing professor's three-part historical Haitian revolutionary trilogy--1995's All Souls' Rising, 2002's Master of the Crossroads, and 2004's Stone That the Builder Refused--revitalized the moribund genre of the historical epic with a richly conceived panorama of the Haitian revolution, woven together with fictional and historical characters. Readers may have a little trouble recognizing Bell here at first because Toussaint Louverture is a sober, stripped-down attempt to narrate the life of the ex-slave who put many of these events into motion.
The biography begins, appropriately enough, with the first recorded signature of his name when, in August 1803, Louverture--previously known as Toussaint Breda--identified himself as "general of the armies of the king." By choosing that moment for a jumping-off point, Bell shows you what he's up against. Louverture didn't even choose his last name, which in French means "opening," until he was 50, and while Bell offers suggestions, we're unsure why he chose it. The facts of Louverture's life before then are even harder to pin down.
Louverture's time in the public eye isn't much easier to read. The Haitian revolution began in 1791 when, in a bloody revolt against a cruel Spanish colonial government, slaves massacred the island's plantation owners. As Bell makes clear, Louverture's role for the first two years is ambiguous. What we do know is that, after laying low for several years and cannily playing his cards, Louverture eventually stepped forward as spiritual and military leader of the revolution. For the moment, at least, moderation won out. While his more brutal contemporaries had alienated large sectors of the population--both black and white--Louverture was able to build a network of supporters, even finding allies among former slaveholders.
The contradictions keep coming. Bell paints Louverture as an idealistic visionary who was inspired by the French Revolution's declaration of the Rights of Man. But he was also a Machiavellian pragmatist who wasn't averse to cracking the whip by initiating programs of forced labor in 1801 to shore up Saint-Domingue's faltering economy. And today in Haiti, Louverture juggles two legacies. He is considered the father of the black liberation movement in North America, and he also instituted a centralized regime that has been the template of dictatorial governments since.
Bell faces these contradictions squarely, which makes this biography a remarkable read. In a country that was the intersection of overwhelming religious, political, racial, and economic forces, the creation of a unifying central government sounds impossible. All you can do is admire Louverture for riding the tiger for as long as he did. Bell's extensive narration of Louverture's career as a military and political strategist may be a little dry at points--unless you're a military buff--but it contributes to a compelling portrait of a complex and talented manipulator whose guerrilla techniques can be looked at as a prototype for successful armed insurgencies.
For Bell fans, Toussaint Louverture fits easily into the central theme of his fictional explorations of the Haitian revolution: the intersection of parallel universes, real and unreal, that Bell locates at the heart of Haitian voodoo. There are certainly points here where Bell tries to make Louverture's own persona fit the mold of that vision, particularly since Louverture was outwardly a devout Roman Catholic. At first you wonder whether Bell is trying a little too hard to establish this dualism, but, given how tightly Louverture played his cards to his chest, any biography of him is going to be speculative.
The book's final chapters are probably the most rewarding. By then, Louverture has been captured by Napoleon's forces and transferred to France, and the parallels between the French colonel and the ex-slave are fascinating. Like Napoleon, Louverture rose to power with a mix of canniness and idealism. Like Napoleon, he earned respect as a brilliant military strategist. Napoleon, however, spent his sunset years in St. Helena, carefully recording his thoughts and memories for posterity. Louverture died in 1803 in a 20-foot-by-10-foot French prison cell, and his 74-page memoir is more of a heartbreaking attempt to gain an audience with captors who, regardless of their politics, never really accepted him as a human on their level.
This short biography is required reading for anyone who wants to tackle Bell's historical epic on Haiti. But more significantly, Bell leaves us asking more questions about this fascinating, enigmatic figure than we probably had to begin with. Given how little is taught about this father of African-American independence, that's an accomplishment.

Left-handed starter Errol Simonitsch was optioned to Rochester of the International League, after appearing in three games for the Twins this Spring. Simonitsch did not allow an earned run in his four innings of work, and struck out four batters.
Mijares was optioned to Double-A New Britain, where he will likely be in the team's rotation. Mijares appeared in one game for the Twins this Spring out of the bullpen, picking up a save in one innings worth of work. He struck out one in the outing.

Incorrect spelling is my pet peeve.... grr.... I'm sorry, I can just no longer continue...
You need to fix the small punctuation and the words that you've spelled incorrectly. It matters more than you'd think.....
A few typos and errors, but other then that it was quite good! :3 I will read on as soon as possible :3 ~Katiee
It's 'regretting' not 'regrateing'. And another thing, you should really fix up your spacing. One line/paragraph per character in the dialogue.
Spelling/Word problem! I believe you meant 'Custody', not 'Custardy'. And you should've used 'disgusted', not 'discussed'. Again, punctuation.
There seems too be a little problem with punctuation. And instead of 'peeked', you put 'pecked'. Just sayin'. Otherwise, not bad.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
If I could put zero stars, I would. Could not get my children out of this school fast enough. If your child is in the 80%--meaning, does not have issues or is academically excellent , this place will be fine. Dealing with the administration is mind-numbing. Principal is average at best. More interested in politics and policies than children and their needs to be successful. The teachers take direction from her and don't like to think outside the box. The good teachers don't last long--they either leave or succumb to her management. It is her very narrow way, or the highway!
Very good partnership between teacher & parents. Technology resources for chidlren are good, too.CAP program partnership (after school care) is among best in the district although run by the park district. They all dove tail to guide the children / parents well. Top art & music teachers.
Award-winning art teacher, gregarious and talented music teacher, nurturing teachers. The vice-principal stands out on the corner every day rain or shine (or snow) to high-five the students and wave at the parents and students arriving in cars. Every teacher has gone above and beyond to both welcome and educate my child. Words cannot express how thrilled I am with this school!
I had my kids at this school for 5 years.Would not recommend sending your child to this school.The teachers care more about finding out what is going on in your home than teaching the children.They have my email and send me email's 5 times a day about things that are not important it drives me crazy.Can't wait to get out of this school and be done with them.
My children love their school. You will not be able to find a better art teacher anywhere! The regular classroom teachers are wonderful too. When my children showed they needed more challenging work, their teachers were ready to provide it. The communication between parent and teacher is easy. Parent involvement at the school is welcomed and encouraged.
Dryden is a leader in providing cutting edge educational experiences. They integrate technology whenever they can, preparing our students to compete in a global society. The leadership and staff are unmatched.
What a wonderful feeling to drop your kids off at school and let the school do it's job. Our first year at Dryden has been wonderful. My children have made some great friends and have learned a lot. The teachers are very positive and work great with the students. Keep up the good work!!!!
Great school and staff. Keep up the good work becausee whatever your doing its working. Very good communication between the staff and parents.
This is an awesome school with wonderful staff. I feel the Principal and Assistant Principal are great and extremely involved contrary to the previous reviewer. The art, music and gym classes have all added tremendous value!
the school is great, my son's teacher won the golden apple award last year. I believe it's the best choice for elementary school in Arlington heights.
My kindergartener is reading books all by herself and reading words like character etc. She participated in a musical where every single kindergarten kid knew every single word and action. She's writing letters to an elephant and figuring out sentences to write. This is a great great school!
