As I'm sitting here at my desk, staring at the multiple piles of books, some business, others fiction, I'm asking myself which movie to watch tonight. Do I have your attention or do you wish to re-read that last sentence to see if your eyes have deceived you? Either way, I probably will end up watching a movie tonight, however not before I read a few chapters (chances are, even more) of one of the many books that line my shelves and my aforementioned desk.
Now, I read out of sheer love for books and how they can take your mind off of many things – whether it be your studies, work or anything even remotely stressful. However, books are great for much more than escaping reality – they can actually increase intelligence and boost empathy.
…recent scientific studies have confirmed that reading and intelligence have a relationship so close as to be symbiotic. – The Guardian
Now, while I couldn't say for sure if that is the case, I do notice a significant difference in my vocabulary and my word choice when I am actively reading books/articles on a daily base. In terms of emotional intelligence and empathy, a study was just recently done on that as well… in short, here's a quote from the Express:
Keith Oatley, a Professor Emeritus of the University of Toronto Department of Applied Psychology and Human Development in Canada, argues that reading or watching narratives may encourage empathy.
He said that by exploring the inner lives of characters on the page, readers can form ideas about others' emotions, motives, and ideas, off the page.
And don't just keep that reading to yourself either; studies show that reading to your children can actually increase their intelligence when they grow up (some articles to further that accusation) : Medical News Today, Early Moments, TIME.
Thanks Mom and Dad, for reading to me when I was young. Although I may have not understood why the Cow goes 'Moo' or why buildings are so big (I still don't) I hope that your efforts have paid off… only time will tell.
And thank you for reading this. I sincerely hope it gives you something to think about. If you enjoyed it, please share it by using one of the services below!

The U.S. can institute tariffs on foreign goods without sparking a global trade war, a senior White House economic official said Thursday.
In slapping tariffs on steel and aluminum, the Trump administration is acting in the nation's economic and national security interests and not looking to provoke, Peter Navarro, director of the White House National Trade Council, said in a CNBC interview.
"Our allies have got to understand that we're simply defending ourselves against what's been an unfair relationship for many, many years," Navarro said on "Squawk on the Street." "This is going to work out fine. The world's going to be a better place."

Home (1980-84) versus USSR 1981
This shirt originated from the personal collection of Welsh goalkeeping legend Dai Davies, and purchased as a match worn Terry Yorath shirt. Davies' collection came up for auction at Bonhams in Chester in November 2008 and this Yorath shirt was part of that sale and where i purchased it from. Subsequent research and discussion with Ceri Stennett the Welsh FA Historian, shows that Yorath wore the no.5 in two games for Wales in this Adidas style of shirt and was infact issued the squad number 5 for the Home International Championship of 1981. Yorath was actually injured for that tournament but Wales kept the same numbers for the World Cup Qualifier against the USSR on the 30th May 1981 and Yorath played, what turned out to be his last game of his 59 Cap International career in the Racecourse Ground goal less stalemate.
It is believed that Yorath, as was quite a common practice amongst international team and club mates, gave the shirt to, or swapped the shirt with Davies after this match. The action picture shows Yorath playing against USSR in the 1981 match and is copyright of Getty Images.

Winemakers' Trial Forum extends to the regions
The Winemakers' Trial Forum which has been held in Margaret River since 2015 has been extended to also incorporate workshops in the Swan Valley and Great Southern, thanks to funding from the Wine Australia Regional Program.
This funding has also enabled a guest winemaker from outside the state to share experiences, techniques and technologies that may not be familiar to local winemakers at the forums.
Swan Valley
The first of three Winemakers' Trial Forums was held in the Swan Valley on 3 November 2017.
Twelve local winemakers came together to discuss viticultural and winemaking approaches to three significant varieties for the region; Verdelho, Grenache and Shiraz.
The forum also featured Corrina Wright from Olivers Taranga in McLaren Vale who gave an interesting perspective of growing and making Grenache and Shiraz from McLaren Vale.
Some of the discussion points concerning Verdelho included:
- Fruit ripeness and impact on style.
- Degree of which the fruit is crushing and the impact on quality.
- Use of oak.
- The benefits of co-inoculation of different yeasts.
- Different approaches to fining were discussed and compared.
Some of the discussion points concerning Grenache included:
- Acknowledging the unique resource of old vines in the region.
- General discussion on style from a regional perspective.
- The impact of whole bunches in the ferment and various percentages.
- The importance of managing fermentation temperature.
- Oak handling and format.
Some of the discussion points concerning Shiraz included:
- How wines from a cool ferment (18-20C) compare to a warmer ferment (~25C).
- The effect of whole bunches on the resulting wine.
- The influence of soil type on wine attributes.
Margaret River
Thirteen winemakers shared different viticultural and winemaking trials at the Margaret River workshop held on 28 November 2017.
This is the third consecutive year that this workshop has been held in Margaret River, promoting innovation and collaboration within the region.
This year's event featured guest wine maker Andrew Hales from Penfolds.
Andrew shared insight into Chardonnay and Cabernet production from a non-WA perspective, including detailing the clones sourced by Penfolds from premium wine regions in South Austraila and Victoria.
An interesting discussion covered the diversity of Cabernet clones in Coonawarra and how wine traits have been observed to differ between them.
Andrew also provided insight into how Penfolds manage their wines in barrels especially relating to storing them at 2 o'clock and minimal rackings during maturation.
Local winemakers presented four trials focussing on key varietals Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, including viticultural or winemaking treatments that aim to improve wine quality and production efficiencies.
The group tasted the wines 'blind', followed by a group discussion on differences and preferences of the various treatments.
Trials included:
- Chardonnay oak exchange
- Margaret River chardonnay clones
- Great Southern chardonnay clones
- Cabernet Sauvignon planting density and fermenter configuration
- Cabernet Sauvignon tannin trials
Chardonnay oak exchange
This innovative trial examined the impact of fermenting and maturing a parcel of Chardonnay and exchanging the wine into and out of new/old oak barrels over three separate time periods.
The aim was to demonstrate the impact and interaction that can be achieved by utilising old barrels with new barrels during the fermentation and maturation process.
The treatments were:
Fermentation vessel
|Maturation vessel
|Timing of wine exchange
|New barrel
|New barrel
|n/a (control)
|Old barrel
|Old barrel
|n/a (control)
|New barrel
|Old barrel
|Immediately after fermentation
|Old barrel
|New barrel
|Immediately after fermentation
|New barrel
|Old barrel
|1 month after fermentation
|Old barrel
|New barrel
|1 month after fermentation
|New barrel
|Old barrel
|3 months after fermentation
|Old barrel
|New barrel
|3 months after fermentation
The group didn't have a clear preference between the control wines or those exchanged immediately after fermentation. They did however show a clear preference to the wines that had been fermented in new barrels and exchanged to older barrels after one or three months.
Overall the group agreed that this trial showed the significance of fermenting and storing Chardonnay in new barrels, but that integrating old barrels into the maturation process may contribute interesting blending options.
Margaret River Chardonnay clones
Five clones of Chardonnay grown in Margaret River were presented blind to the group. These wines were produced from the national research project 'Assessing clonal variability in Chardonnay and Shiraz for future climate change'.
Clones 277 and Gingin were well received by the group, while 96 and 95 were the lesser preferred clones.
Great Southern Chardonnay clones
The wines produced from the same national trial were grown at a vineyard in Mt Barker.
The group found this bracket of wines difficult to distinguish by quality traits but there was a distinct variation in style.
Styles ranged from citrus/lime to a more stonefruit/orchard fruits flavour spectrum.
I10V1 was the least preferred clone which, in discussion, was attributed to the wine being lower in acidity than the other three clones and picked at a slightly higher Baume.
Cabernet Sauvignon planting density and fermenter configuration
A parcel of Cabernet (clone 126) was split and fermented in a small (2t) format custom built conical fermenter and a large (10t) conventional fermenter. These were tasted and compared.
Another parcel of Cabernet (Houghton clone) planted at high density (1m x 1.5m) was also split between these two fermenter configurations and presented to the group.
For both parcels the group preferred the wines fermented in the small fermenters (71% and 64% respectively) and the wines from the high density planting were greater in colour and concentration compared to the other parcel.
Cabernet Sauvignon ferment tannin trials
Different fermentation tannins were added to a parcel of Cabernet that was split into three tanks. The tannins Scott Tan FT Rouge, Incanto NC Rouge and VR Supra were added at ferment at similar rates to investigate the performance of the tannins.
There were clear differences between the treatments and overwhelmingly 79% of the group preferred the wine that had received the Incanto NC Rouge tannin addition. It was also noted that this tannin was the most expensive of the three.
The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development intends to hold this forum on a regular basis to provide WA winemakers with the opportunity to share experiences and promote innovative approaches to improving production efficiencies and wine quality.

Saltwater Fishing Reports
By Captain Rick Lockart
October's forecast is primarily the reverse of April's. In April we were awaiting the arrival of many species, due primarily to water temperature. During October, we can expect to see the departure, or decline, of many species of fish that we have come to enjoy over the past six months. This departure will be accelerated by coastal storms and/or cold fronts from Canada. In recent years, regardless of the reasons, October has been relatively mild. This really had a positive effect on the Bay last year for the menhaden were later in schooling, then later in their leaving the shallow waters for the deeper, warmer waters. Ultimately, their movement from the rivers and the upper reaches of the Bay was delayed. This delay led to one of the best striped bass seasons in Virginia's Bay in recent memory. Many are hoping that the mild weather that we are experiencing in September will have the same affect this fall. Anyway, I digress. The cooler waters of October can see the elimination of spot, croaker, puppy drum, bluefish, and flounder in the Middle Bay.
Striped bass will be the mainstay of this portion of the Bay. Experienced gray trout fishermen will be hoping that their object of affection will be found along the drop offs and under the marauding schools of stripers; however, the past few years have not been the best. The Lower Bay may not see elimination of the aforementioned species, but there will be a decrease, on that you can bet. Size, however, may increase. Off shore, the numbers of billfish, wahoo, and dolphin will also decrease. Many off shore anglers look for an increase in the tuna strikes, particularly the bluefin tuna. Though their size won't rival those that slide through in December, their numbers can be worth the trip. Inshore, the cobia, jack crevelle, Spanish and king mackerel will start their migration southward, while the flounder, sea bass, spot, croaker, spotted and gray trout, and red drum numbers should hold their own early in the month, then tail off toward the end. Notable citation awards in October, 2006, went to spot (41), spotted sea trout (56), flounder (37), and red drum (89), most all caught toward the mouth of the Bay. Larger bluefish will start to move closer to shore. Last year their numbers exploded with the arrival of colder water.
October 4 begins the second season for stripers. However, by the time this magazine goes to print, VMRC's meeting to alter the Bay's December fishing for stripers will not have taken place. At present, it is likely that the recreational fishermen of striped bass will lose a full week of the season (season ending Dec. 24) or will lose a fish/person/day beginning Dec. 9. In either case, the 28"-34" slot will still be in effect along with the 18" minimum. Look for the results of the Sept. 25 meeting on the VMRC website or in next month's magazine. Generally, few fish of slot size or larger are caught in October, but it must be remembered that the slot is in effect from the beginning of this second season. Traditional methods of catching the striped bass include casting, jigging, live-lining, trolling, and chumming.
Eastern Shore
Capt. Mike Handforth (757-336-6861) is hopeful that the water remains warm throughout the month so the flounder will remain within the sounds. Mike is certain that snapper blues, spot, croaker, gray trout, and a few triggerfish will stay around long enough to keep his customers smiling. Striped bass from the northern states will not likely show during October, and the resident fish will not often challenge the 28" limit. Mike wants people to know of the artificial reef at Blackfish Bank. He claims it is worth a try in October. Capt. Dale Ballard (757-641-5094) will be moving his operations from oceanside to bayside for the month of October. He will be fishing primarily for Flounder and Tautog.
Offshore, things have been slow. All of the trollers are hoping for a return of the tuna. Bluefish have been the only specie of consistency.
Capt. Nolan Agner (757-200-0200) will offer both offshore and inshore trips. Offshore for Nolan will be primarily tuna, though wahoo might still be around should the weather cooperate. Inshore, he will target bluefish, red drum, and king mackerel. The flounder bite has the potential to be excellent. Capt. Steve Wray (757-481-7517) will be fishing for Atlantic swordfish offshore. Inshore, he will be taking his clients wreck fishing for flounder and king mackerel. Farther inshore, Steve will fish for stripers and red drum. He noted that the red drum fishing has been red hot from the surf at Sandbridge. Capt. Jim Brincefield (252-336-4296) will be seeking tilefish and grouper off of the deepwater wrecks when weather allows. Inshore, Jim will be fishing for gray trout, flounder, and black sea bass. Capt. Kenny George (757-548-6991) has high hopes that striped bass, flounder, and tautog will be the ticket for his parties, while Capt. Max King (757-650-3176) will fish for tuna offshore and striped bass inshore. Capt. Ron Bennett (757-681-4744) will be fishing for stripers and tautog.
Lower Peninsula
Capt.s Chandler Hogg (757-876-1590) and Jerry Olson (757-288-1081) fish for flounder, tautog, bluefish, and gray trout during the month of October. Capt. Bill Mershon (757-229-6244) will continue to bottom fish for spot and gray trout as long as the fish cooperate.
Middle Peninsula
One of the most scenic of rivers of the Middle Peninsula is the Piankatank; however, I don't know any charter boaters who actually fish the reaches of this river. Nevertheless, I want to share with you Capt. David Lee (804-776-6181) who offers excursions and cocktail cruises up this beautiful, placid river. David also runs the Deltaville Inn (804-776-6665), a bed and breakfast of the Middle Peninsula, from where you can hook up for these tours. Capt. Bill Bailey (804-776-0255) plans to still be fishing for spot early in October. He will concentrate on stripers and gray trout after the spot leave. Presently, Bill is catching some 10-16 keeper gray trout a trip. This is the best that I have heard of this year in the Middle Peninsula. Let's hope it continues into and through the month.
Capt.s Don Bannister (804-776-0629) and Bobby Jenkins (804-314-4799) say "stripers, stripers, stripers." Both are likely to look for gray trout should they catch their limits early. Capt. Randy King (804-239-2990) is hopeful that the spot will be around through the first half of the month, along with some gray trout. Once this fishery vanishes, he will start into his striped bass season.
Northern Neck
The Northern Neck is not a large expanse of water, at least not in length. It stretches from the Potomac to the Rappahannock, a distance less than 20 miles. Yet, it produces two often different classes of fishermen. Capt.s Hunt Burress (804-333-5567), Danny Crabbe (804-453-3251), Leroy Carr (804-453-4050, and Ryan Rogers (804-453-5812) often concentrate their early October fishing efforts in Maryland waters. Their targets include striped bass, bluefish, and gray trout. Capt.s Roy Amburn (804-453-4265), David Fisher (804-580-2548, Bob Reed (804-435-6907, and Woody Robertson (804-453-4608) will fish almost exclusively in Virginia waters, though their targets and methods of fishing will be virtually the same. As the waters cool during the month, reports of larger fish being caught in Maryland will filter their way down the Bay. This will cause many fishermen in the northern Virginia waters to catch a partial limit of schoolie stripers (generally chumming or jigging) and leave a slot or two open for the big boys (generally fished for by trolling). Many will go home without their limits, but the thought of what's to come always seems to push some of us to give it a try just a little too early.
In the farthest most southern part of the Northern Neck is Capt. Carroll Webb (804-347-3970) who fishes for stripers in the same manner as the others, but also offers the opportunity for one to two people to fish for spotted trout with him in his flat bottom skiff. He is hopeful that the trout will stay into November. As stated at the beginning, it's all going to be dependent upon water temperature.
Virginia Freshwater Fishing ReportBy Missy Fike
As the temperatures started dropping last month the fish started becoming more active. The water temperatures will continue to drop. In most areas the fish will move to the shallower waters and feed on the minnows and baitfish. October is a great time of the year to work the shorelines. October is a peaceful time of year as well with the weather temps dropping and the scenery starting to change colors.
Northern Virginia
Lake Anna should be cooling down which means the striper and crappie fishing will heat up. Look for bait being busted in the creeks and on primary and secondary points from the Splits uplake. Try around the Power Plant in the early mornings for stripers too. Bass will move shallow temporarily and will hit surface lures and then cranks off points. Be sure and fish around structure this month too.
Lake Orange will be much like Anna but on a smaller scale. The walleye will be available to slow trolling deep cranks or jigs with a minnow or large crawler. Try jumbo minnows for crappie near brushpiles.
Lake Curtis is a good spot this month. Bass will be likely found in the timber and along the dam. Use RatLTraps and other silver or gold colored cranks. Crappie will be after minnows and bream will also hit well on crickets.
The northern lakes such as Frederick, Germantown and Thompson cool off much sooner but the fishing is still good. Use light test line and make long casts as the water clears.
The upper Rappahannock and Rapidan are excellent this month. The smallies are pretty and the sunfish are scrappy. Use poppers on warm days and spinnerbaits or jerkbaits in the riffles. Deeper holes are best fished with crayfish or minnows. Nice fish can really be hauled in this month. Fish slow and enjoy the scenery.
The upper Potomac River usually turns on for both bass and catfish. The bass move more towards wood structure and creeks but bridge pilings and rubble are good bets too. The catfish are going to be feeding a little shallower. Focus on ledges near shallow flats. Use fresh bait. Crappie are also a good target this month. Go back to the headwaters of the creeks to find them. Finally, the fishing is so much better this month due to less boat traffic.
Motts Run will pick up quite a bit. Everything will become more active as the water temps continue to drop. The fish will stay in the shallows and feed to store fat up for the winter months that are coming. Largemouth bass will be biting on topwater lures, artificial worms and shallow diving lures. Channel catfish will continue biting on chicken liver. The bream will bite well on small lures like beetle spins or night crawlers
In the Northern Neck area, RW's (804-529-5634) reported that when the water temps drop the fish in the ponds become more active again.
The largemouth bass will be in the shallows and should be hitting well on topwater lures and shallow divers. If the largemouth bass are not hitting well on the top water lures then a good alterative is to try a crankbait, a plastic worm or a jig. The crappie will hit anytime as long as you can find a school.
Mark at Coleman's on the James River (434-286-2547) reports that the cool weather of October makes the fish more active again. The smallmouth will pick back up and bite well on live baits as well as pumpkinseed color grubs. Shallow diving crankbaits like the Speed Shad will work well on the lakes. The smallmouth this year have really done well. Anglers in the past few years were doing well if they caught 25 per day. Lately the anglers are able to pull out around 50 per day. Fall is a good time for fly fishermen to get out and be successful. The flathead catfish will also pick back up before winter sets in. They will eat more actively to fatten up before winter.
On the Chickahominy fishing is great and should pick up and be fantastic, according to Mike at Riverside Camp Grounds (804-966-5536). The bass are schooled up and biting really well on anything that resembles small baitfish. This is the time of year when the fish swarm and feed off the small fry and baitfish in the water so using lures that resemble that will prove successful. The crappie will be coming in more and can be caught on small minnows and minnie jigs. The stripers season opens back up at the beginning of October and they can be caught trolling using Redfin style of lures or by jigging using blade baits like the Ripper. Bream will start getting scarcer but some will still be caught and the blue catfish will be picking up. They are active and bite really well from October – April. The river is tidal so the time of day isn't as important as the flow of the tide. Usually the last 2 or 3 hours of the out going tide is best.
Over on the Virginia Beach/Suffolk area we contacted Bobby at Dashiell's Sporting Goods (757-539-7854). He reports that the bass will move into the creeks as the water temperature cool down into the 60's. Shallow running crankbaits, spinnerbaits and jigs used along the shores will prove to be successful. Crappie will also move a little shallower water and can be caught on minnows as well as jigs. Stripers also become more active as the water temperature cools.
Down at Buggs Island I talked to Rusty at Buggs Island Bait and Tackle (434-374-8934) He reports crappie fishing around bridges and brush piles with minnows and jigs should make for a successful trip. The largemouth bass will be hitting well on top water lures artificial worms and crank baits. The Striper will begin fall migration following the shad up the rivers. White bass and white perch will be hitting on the main lake points.

It was sort of the My research indicated that for the 10 women I studied, the maternal instinct was not always the only or main reason that these women left their careers for stay-at-home motherhood.
Also, whatever course of action you take, make sure to run by potential issues with your partner. Her children were my friends and they were not allowed to stay after school for help because their parents said so, and some of them did not even go to school even when they were assigned a school to go to.
Either because of poverty or because they are single parents, or both, women find they must work to earn enough money to provide for their family. Mothers should have much freedom as anyone else in society to decide what is best for them and their children. In fact, the women I studied expressed at least three or more contributing factors that led to their decision to leave the careers.
Bureau of Labor Statistics: For example, one women I interviewed said: Wherever you are, make sure you have a group of people who will support you. Mothers who stay at home with their children are more likely to have time to be involved with their community.
Resentments could build up on both sides. At the same time, a growing culture of intensive parenting - where the mother and child bond are emphasized - may pressure some women to stay home.
For example one woman said the following: Some identifying details have been changed to protect the identities of the women I studied. So then I left. To shed negative feelings, Yasgoor advises tapping into and writing down your own needs, goals, and objectives.
For example, one woman I studied who was a teacher and whose husband was a physician said: Childcare professionals have similar experience and have often taken courses on child development that make them more knowledgeable than a first time parent.
Four of the women I studied experienced a push-out due to job circumstances that made continuing to work challenging or impossible.
All of the women I studied were married at the time they left their careers and had some level of financial stability that made it possible to be stay-at-home mothers. If you decide to stay home, determine how likely it will be for you to return to your job or career. He would have to start from zero--that was not going to happen.
Then think about how you can cope with the situation. And he loves his career.Women Should Stay At Home To Take Care Children. Should Moms Stay at Home?Matt Sayar, Austin Foggs, Jackie Doughty, Dimitri Scott, Luke Hobbs Hobbs For the yes side of the argument, writer of the article from Time Magazine "The Case for Staying Home", Claudia Wallis, says more and more women are choosing to stay at billsimas.com article published on March 22, claims the ever.

Supporting all mothers to stay at home would prevent this problem. Mothers who stay at home with their children are more likely to have time to. Therefore i say that mother's should definitely stay at home and look after their children so they can grow up in good teachings and also when the parents children grows up they will take care of their parents just as they did and perhaps even more.

What's in a Name?
Depends on the name I guess. If it's Eric Clapton and you're auctioning off an iconic 335, then the name is worth a little over $800K. But if you're Richard Gere, it would be worth a bit less. I can understand Gere fans paying for his boxer shorts from "Pretty Woman" or at least paying more than the usual price for a pair of used undies but for his guitars? I dunno-and I like Richard Gere-he was in one of my favorite movies of all time-Terrence Malick's "Days of Heaven". But let's consider what the name is worth. As an example, we'll use a 67 ES-335 that sold for a little over
$11,875 including the BP. The estimate was $4000 to $6000 which was probably a bit high considering it had the wrong Bigsby. I would have paid maybe $3000 but I'm a cheap bastard, so let's say it was worth $4K. So, the name Richard Gere was worth $7800 to someone or an additional 200%. Not exactly Clapton territory but, hey, the guy wasn't an musical icon. He's as actor-right above lawyers and politicians in the grand scheme of things. Let's look at the guitar that I was after. It's a 1960 ES-335 in natural finish with four extra Bigsby holes in it. In the condition that it was in, this would have been a $40,000 guitar had it not had a non original Bigsby on it at some point. That, to me pretty much does what a factory Bigsby does-knocks it down 25% plus, say, another 10% because it didn't come from the factory that way. That puts it at $26,000 which was where I drew the line on this one. Had it been a 59, maybe I'd have gone a bit higher but a 60 with 59 features is still a 60 (I've got the 59/60 345 to prove it, too). So, the "star" premium was $21,000. That's less than the 200% of the 67 but still a ton of money. I truly don't get it at this level. If someone brought me a nice vintage piece that was once owned by a former President, I may be willing to pay a bit more-after all, how many Presidents play guitar? But an actor? How about a reality TV star…the Kim Kardashian Strat for a huge premium? It doesn't compute, does it. In 100 years, folks will probably know who Eric Clapton was and his guitars will have considerable value. They may or may not know who Richard Gere was but they won't care enough to pay a price for his guitar. But I can guarantee that unless she shoots somebody really important, the name Kim Kardashian will garner a quizzical look and a big "huh"? Let's look back 100 years to 1911. What would you pay for an instrument owned by Irving Berlin or Gustav Mahler? How about Charlie Chaplin or Mary Pickford? How about Edward Smith? Who? Ed. Ed Smith. He was much more famous than Kim Kardashian, at least for a few days. he was the captain of the Titanic. I don't think I'd pay extra for his guitar, though, unless it went down with the ship. And yes, I understand that the proceeds went to charity and that a good and noble thing but I'm guessing it didn't totally account for the high prices on these guitars.

Good question! Definitely Durable! (hey that would make a cool bumper sticker)
I am such a slow runner. I have aspirations of being able to run faster than a 10-minute mile. That's elite for me! So, being truly elite quality is no where in my future, but that's perfectly ok with me. I love running, and I want to treat my body in such a way that I will be running 50 years from now, maybe even w/ my great grandkids!! Would that not be cool?

top albums 2008 pt. 3
January 14, 2009
continuing with the best albums of 2008. as always catch up if you've missed the start of the list…
and now the most eagerly anticipated moment of the year so far…the top 5:
5. only by the night – kings of leon
kol's last two albums have been their best. many of their die hard fans would tend to disagree with that statement saying that their first two were the best, but for me those albums were nothing new. i've heard garage band, southern rock, all that stuff before. but with because of the times kol took a very very interesting step into something i'm not sure i've heard before, and that was with the song "on call". they continued that with this years only by the night. it's a step into these dark soundscapes, filled with soaring guitar riffs, and lead man caleb's pained screeches just sear into my memory. you may think that the last two albums have been polished version of a radio friendly band, but "use somebody" is intensely more interesting than anything they have ever done before.
"off in the night while you live it up, i'm off to sleep
waging war to shape the poet an the beat"
4. fleet foxes – fleet foxes
the best appalachian folk album of the year comes from a group situated on the west coast. their songs are reverb clad, filled with larger than life vocal harmonies, and reminiscent of simpler time (i can't be sure that the time was actually simpler, i didn't live there. but that's what everyone says right?). they utilize the story-telling method of songwriting to perfection. they seem to come together perfectly as a band, and hit the notes exactly the way they wanted to. peckinfold is a beast at the beginning of white winter hymnal, and on the closing oliver james. his voice fits their musical stylings perfectly.
3. viva la vida – coldplay
i feel like i might loose some music credibility with the final part of my list, including something as broad as a coldplay album on the list. but really these guys are about as great as it gets. a rush of blood to the head is my 2nd favorite album of all time, and viva la vida is a return to their musical creativity. where i think they really went astray with x&y, using very heavy synth and very (very) radio friendly songs. my favorite song of that albums was the stripped down kingdom come, and while nothing on this album could be considered "stripped down" they hit a consistent musical tone throughout that really struck a chord with me. they've always been compared to U2, but i never really saw it until this album. the booming drums, the soaring guitars and vocals. great. this definitely feels like their largest album and even if it's not there best, it's a step in the right direction.
2. volume one – she & him
if i knew that m. ward was releasing a new album in 08, i would have been excited. if i knew that zooey deschanel was going to release an ablum in 08, i would have been intrigued and excited. if i knew that zooey deschanel was going to team up with m. ward to release an album, i would have died. i don't know what it is, but the pairing just seems to make perfect sense to me. i noticed (probably with the rest of the world) that zooey had an amazing voice in the christmas classic elf, but she's been one of my favorite actresses since her turn in almost famous. i think most girl-led folk bands fall into the trap of being too cutesy, to fiest-like, and end up being tired cliches. but zooey brings a throw-back style to her singing. she's able to blend very old school country/folk melodies and make them sound contemporary. the video for why do you let me stay here pretty much sums up my thoughts on why they are awesome.
1. for emma forever ago – bon iver
there's nothing i can say about this album that will remotely do it justice. let's just say that for emma forever ago has found a place in my favorite albums of all time, and a place in my heart (ok that sounded really dumb, but it's true). justin vernon is able to emote every single feeling of rejection and pain, and ultimately happiness that he was feeling whilst recording the album. he recorded the entire album by himself, and he did so on a retreat into the woods of wisconsin after breaking up with his band and his girlfriend. how hot is that? he doesn't have the greatest recording equipment. he doesn't have the greatest guitar or other musical instruments. but what came out of that 3 month stay in the cabin is the most emotionally charged, heart felt, bring you to tears and then make you cry even more, album of the year. i was just absolutely blown away by every track on this album, and the more i listen to it the more i'm convinced that bon iver is going down as one of the greatest artists ever. i am seriously starting to question if there's anything more beautiful than re: stacks. i don't think there is. unless you're talking about his follow up ep blood bank and the amazing song woods. then maybe.
