You’d be amazed how hard it is to text something as simple as “hi” on many smart watch interfaces. Still, most designs take this into consideration. We tested all kinds of watches from auto-scrolling screens where you drew the letters with your finger to pre-smartphone layouts more akin to the alphanumeric layout of a payphone keypad. While the drawing features were nice, we felt that the texting was a little more manageable on keyboards.
The touchscreen, button, and dial (what Apple calls the “crown”) help you zoom in and out and move between apps fairly effortlessly. With this easy navigation it’s easy to forget we’re typing on a screen slightly smaller than an Oreo. In particular, we loved Apple’s app homepage, which displays all of the apps as icons in a honeycomb-like display. You can use the touchscreen to move around, and the dial to zoom in or pan out, to precisely tap on the one you want.
The Charge 3's module weighs in at 20 percent lighter than that of the Charge 2, so it won't weigh down your wrist when you're wearing it. I barely noticed it on my wrist when I paired it with Fitbit's woven bands, which are made of a feather-light fabric material. If you're looking for the band that both complements the device's weightlessness and remains fashionably flexible enough to go from the gym to the office, I'd go with a woven option instead of the standard silicone one.
For a device that gives you more of the functionality you enjoy with your smartphone, you’ll want to opt for a dedicated smartwatch. The leading players at the moment are the Apple Watch for iPhone users and the Samsung Gear S3 for those with Android phones. Apple Watch has its own operating system, Samsung employs its Tizen OS, and a host of other smartwatches use the Google Wear operating system.
On-Screen Workouts/ Connected GPS/ Bluetooth/ Smartphone Notifications/ 4 Day Battery Life/ Heart Rate Tracking/ 15 Exercise Modes/ SmartTrack/ All-Day Activity/ Female Health/ Sleep Tracking And Stages/ Cardio Fitness Level/ 3-Axis Accelerometer And Gyroscope/ Optical Heart Rate Monitor/ Color LCD Touchscreen Display/ Water Resistant To 50 Meters/ Grey And Silver Aluminum Finish
Being able to customize the watch faces and layouts, made the Series 3 a shoo-in for our list of best smart watches. Much like you can customize the homescreen on your iPhone, you can change the layout of apps and even display the weather. While you can’t opt for third-party designs, you do have 12 different watch faces to play with. Tinker with color schemes, add or remove widgets (called “complications” on the app), and decide whether you want to have all twelve faces available on your watch (we always like having options), or cut back.
Apple has announced the Apple Watch Series 4. It’s the first real redesign of the wearable since Apple introduced it in 2014, but the changes aren’t so drastic that you won’t recognize it as an Apple Watch. The Series 4 comes with an upgraded display, and you can choose either a 40mm or 44mm model. Even though the screens on the new models are bigger, the overall body of the Watch is roughly the same as previous models, so you shouldn’t notice much of a difference on your wrist.
It doesn't get better than the Apple Watch Series 4. The new slimmer body and bigger screen make it sleeker and more stylish than ever before. The unique modern design works for both men and women. The smartwatch comes in 40mm and 44mm styles to fit wrists big and small. You can buy it in several finishes to match your style and there are dozens of Apple-made and third-party watch bands to make the Watch your own.
Battery life for the Q watches is unremarkably reliable, and that’s the best thing you can say about a touchscreen smartwatch. The Q Explorist never ran out of juice entirely while wearing it, even after having it be the primary turn-by-turn direction notifier on two 1-hour drives, followed by 30 minutes of actively tracked cycling and the usual all-day text/app notifications. While we didn’t wear the Venture for full days of testing, most reviews find no fault with the battery. The USB charger is a basic magnetic disc that slides onto the rounded back of the watch (though it could stand to stick onto the watch more strongly, like the Apple Watch’s similar disc).
The Samsung Gear Live is the first of the company’s smartwatches to be compatible with any Android phone running Android 4.3 or higher; other Gear models can be paired only with specific Samsung phones. Like the LG G Watch and Moto 360, it runs the Android Wear OS, allowing voice commands and pushing relevant information to the wearer. Compared with the LG G Watch, we prefer the style and fit of the Gear Live. The watch body is slightly curved, which made it more comfortable. The Gear Live also has a heart-rate monitor, which the G Watch lacks.
My personal favorite watch for Android on the market today actually isn’t an Android Wear device, rather coming from Samsung and running atop Tizen. The Samsung Gear S3 Frontier is all the smartwatch you’ll ever need, with a sporty, circular gray design with a 1.3-inch Super AMOLED display that is the best I’ve personally ever used and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass SR+.
The MetaWatch M1, like the Cookoo 2 and Martian Notifier, is a basic smartwatch. It shows alerts for texts, e-mails, social media updates, calendar appointments, weather, and Caller ID, and can control your phone's music app. The notifications are configurable in terms of what you are alerted to and how: whether via a vibration or on the watch’s display. Also built in are a timer, a stopwatch, and an alarm
Apple Watch Series 3: If you are an iPhone user and generally exist in Apple’s ecosystem, it makes sense to get an Apple Watch. The design quality is exceptional and the Watch makes a nice pairing with your iPhone as materials and design elements are common to both. Apple’s Health app covers most of the bases when it comes to tracking your essential fitness and activity indicators - nutrition, sleep, physical exercise, but Apple has gone further with HealthKit, which allows health and fitness apps downloaded from the App Store to share data with each other. Apple has committed to Watch, and its attention to practical and eye-pleasing design as well as useful tracking features is commendable. ($529)
In order to find the best smart watch, we looked at text and call features and, of course, design. We dug into tech reviews to separate must-haves from perks. Then, we brought in 19 smart watches to test for call responsiveness, text-ability, app accessibility, and general ease of us. In the end, three watches stood out for their reliable connectivity, gorgeous interfaces, and easy navigation.

Whitehurst, Baldwin, Browner help surging Seahawks seal Giants; 36-25 »
Things I hope the Rams did during bye week (but probably didn’t)
October 10th, 2011 Mike Posted in St. Louis Rams
In no particular order…
1. Gave Chris Chamberlain and Bryan Kehl full opportunity to take over the starting job at WLB, where Ben Leber has put the “weak” back into “weakside”. I’m not sure which of the younger players would win out, but I am sure that Leber doesn’t deserve to be on this roster after his performance so far this season.
2. Prepped first-round pick Robert Quinn to take over the starting role at RDE. James Hall has not been effective enough this season but could probably contribute more in a spot role.
3. Got Lance Kendricks a new jersey number. The #88 thinks it’s got Eddie Kennison in it again. Bad juju. Put Kendricks in #89, Dane Looker had pretty good hands. Then again, jersey juju doesn’t explain why Greg Salas is off to such a crappy start in Rickey Proehl’s old jersey.
4. Can’t believe I’m saying this one. Got Austin Pettis ready to start in the slot. He’s got the only reliable hands in the whole receiving corps; he needs to be on the field as often as possible.
5. Cut Mike Sims-Walker. He’s useless, and he’s bad luck. Yes, I know the Rams won’t do this. But they should.
6. Spent about 80 hours in front of JUGS machines.
7. Got a veteran kick returner who actually knows how to play the position and judge things like whether or not he can catch a ball safely without getting creamed by a defender. The Rams signed Nick Miller during the bye week. Let’s just say he does not fit the bill. From Paul Gutierrez at ProFootballTalk:
As far as Miller is concerned, he was respected in the locker room for his work ethic. But with the Raiders’ depth at receiver, Miller had to stand out as a return specialist to validate his roster spot.
Instead, he struggled mightily on return duty, especially in Buffalo, where he slipped and fell several times and averaged just 15.3 yards on four kickoff returns and 9.5 yards on two punt returns.
Do the Rams do no scouting at all? We already have Sims-Walker who can’t walk and chew gum at the same time, do we really need this guy?
8. Got some better scouts.
9. Worked on pounding the ball. Josh McDaniels’ best game plan this year was week 3 of preseason against the Chiefs. There’s no better way to get this offensive line out of its funk than to let them go out and hammer guys (or try to) in the running game. It’s not like you’re going to replace somebody with Adam Goldberg off the bench. You’re going to have to go with what you’ve got. So let them take it to the other guys, and keep the passing game nice and safe and quick, and see if we can build their confidence back up.
10. Said something to Harvey Dahl to piss him off. Because I’m not seeing what the big deal is. This interior line is as weak as it’s ever been. Hey, say that to him, maybe that would work.
11. Made Darian Stewart the starting safety, if he wasn’t already. Good freaking luck the next three weeks, too, with Jermichael Finley, Jason Witten and Jimmy Graham.
12. Started studying the 2012 free agent list and draft class at cornerback very, very hard. Because despite the Rams’ brutal injury problems there, if they don’t draft a WR in the first round next year, Rams Nation is going to howl.
13. Started scouting for offensive line and wide receiver coaches. Steve Spagnuolo is never making it past New Year’s without offering up some sacrificial lambs from the coaching staff. Steve Loney, who’s a hanger-on from the Linehan staff, seems an especially easy cut these days.
14. Signed players to the roster who would be actually useful given this team’s crying needs at other positions, as opposed to keeping the likes of Dominique Curry and Stephen Spach to do nothing on special teams or sit on the inactive list.
15. Waved healing crystals over Mark Clayton, if there are any left around from Georgia’s days with the team. The Rams need him pretty badly. BUT DO NOT RUSH HIM BACK, OR LET HIM TRY TO RUSH HIMSELF BACK. (See: Amendola, Danny.)
16. Remembered that necessity is the mother of invention. On defense, where the secondary is in tatters, I’ll be disappointed if Spagnuolo doesn’t roll out some funky schemes the rest of the season. Start something here. Show the NFL a defense that can make up for having no corners. No, I have no idea what that would be, but Spags is the one getting paid the big bucks. Make it happen.
17. Rented some freaking Halloween costumes for the freaking cheerleaders for the October 30th game. Don’t we suffering (male) fans at least deserve that much?
18. Burned the “Rams Rules” tape. Yes, I know it’s not actually a tape, just do it in spirit. New Rams Rule #1: a team that feels like it has to tell its fans how to cheer is stupid.

Since its premiere in Paris in 1841, Giselle has captured the imagination and torn at the heart with its Romantic tale of love, tragedy, vengeful ghosts, yearning and madness. Adolphe Adam’s exquisite music perfectly captures the ballet’s dramatic blend of real-life passions and unearthly glamour.
The story of Giselle is a classic of Romantic art. A village girl falls in love with a man who is not all he seems. When she finds out his deception, she dies of a broken heart. Transformed into a spirit, she battles to save her lover in a wood haunted by ‘Wilis’, the ghosts of jilted women.
Adolphe Adam’s eloquent music is one of the best-loved ballet scores, and is presented here in a new recording with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra. From the joyful dances as Giselle and Albrecht fall in love in Act I, to the other-worldly Wilis in Act II, this is music of constant beauty and variety.
As well as revealing the beauty of Adam’s score for the music- and ballet-lover, this album provides a new opportunity for dancers. It includes ten key solo movements performed at different speeds, designed to suit differences in choreography or in dancers’ individual physicality and technique.

Romantic Bach: From Intimate to Epic
Australian piano virtuoso Jayson Gillham presents his fourth album on ABC Classics, devoted to the keyboard works of Johann Sebastian Bach. Featuring 11 of Bach’s compositions transcribed and arranged, from Rachmaninoff’s arrangement of the Violin Partita in E major into a pianistic showpiece, to Myra Hess’s sublime ‘Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring’, Jayson Gillham’s latest release is a love letter to Bach from a who’s who of the great pianists and pianist-composers – Rachmaninoff, Percy Grainger, Hess, Busoni, Siloti and Petri.“The thing about Bach,” says Jayson, “is that it works so well on whatever instrument combination you put it on. It’s something to do with the way Bach thinks, and the way he writes the music – the content is more important than the timbre of the instrument that it’s played on. And so it’s really effective on all instruments – particularly the piano.”Born 333 years ago in Germany, Bach remains arguably the most important musician in the Western musical tradition. Nowhere does his outsized brilliance shine through more brightly than in his keyboard works, and the influence that they have had on centuries of composers and musicians. This celebrated repertoire allows the full extent of Jayson’s artistry to shine through, revealing the profound depth of his musicality, and a mind constantly interrogating his performance, his instrument, and the music.Born and brought up in rural Queensland, Jayson Gillham travelled for hours to piano lessons in Brisbane, before shooting to fame in a number of prestigious international competitions. He is now recognised as one of the finest pianists of his generation, performing across the globe with the world’s most prestigious orchestras, venues and festivals. ABC Classics signed Jayson for a three-album deal, and his debut record, an all-solo offering surveying music by Bach, Schubert and Chopin, reached No. 1 in the ARIA Charts on release. Soon afterwards the great pianist Vladimir Ashkenazy, conducting the Sydney Symphony, chose to make his first-ever recording of a Beethoven concerto with Jayson Gillham at the keyboard. Jayson’s Medtner and Rachmaninoff album, recorded in 2017 with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and Benjamin Northey, received unanimous praise and was Recording of the Month in Limelight magazine.

Bach Concertos - Grigoryan Brothers, Adelaide Symphony Orchestra and Benjamin Northey
The Grigoryan Brothers return with an album of J.S. Bach’s best-loved concertos, newly arranged for two guitars and orchestra.The two great forces in J.S. Bach’s life were music and family - somewhat inevitably, for a man who had twenty children. Bach first wrote the concertos on this disc as a young composer finding his place in the world, seeking to establish both his musical and personal identity. But they stayed with him throughout his life: he adapted them for different instruments, performed them with his sons, and used them to pass down his musical and life experiences.So it is entirely fitting that two brothers, Slava and Leonard Grigoryan, have come together to play these works. The parallels are even more poignant considering their father, Edward, created the arrangements on this disc, and that early rehearsals of this material involved their parents (Edward on violin, Irina on viola) and Slava’s wife Sharon (on cello). The intimacy and eternity of Bach’s music could hardly be better illustrated.This album follows on from the brilliant success of Slava’s two recent albums of Bach cello suites arranged for solo guitar: albums that broke records for the longest time spent atop the ARIA Classical charts, and which both won the ARIA for Best Classical Album (2017 + 2018). It also continues the family tradition of their most recent album as a duo, 2017’s Songs Without Words, which featured beloved classical works arranged for guitar duo by their father Edward.Slava and Leonard are counted amongst the finest musicians of their generation, and between them have been awarded four ARIA awards and received an incredible further 24 nominations, confirming their status as Australia’s favourite guitarists.

Soliloquy - Telemann Solo Fantasias
Soliloquy: An act of speaking your thoughts aloud, oblivious to any listenersFor acclaimed Australian recorder virtuoso Genevieve Lacey, Telemann’s twelve fantasias for solo flute have long had an intensely personal connection. As a teenager she was obsessed with a famous recording by the legendary Frans Brüggen, and performed the first fantasia of the set at her cousin’s funeral – the only thing she could think of to ease all that family pain.Genevieve never learned the other eleven; the first was too tightly wound with grief for her to imagine a relationship with any of the others. But years later when she was ready to return to this beloved music, inspiration struck, and she decided to devote herself to learning one fantasia a month throughout 2017.Over the course of that year, these fantasias became like a personal diary for Genevieve. An acutely personal and isolated process became a soliloquy – a series of moments out of time, out of earshot, diving ever deeper into sound, into memory, dream, and wonder.Georg Philipp Telemann(1681–1767) was acclaimed in his day as the best composer in Germany – greater even than his contemporary, JS Bach. An absolute master of all the established musical forms of his day, both sacred and secular, Telemann was also a trailblazer with a seemingly inexhaustible imagination. His Fantasias for solo flute proved for the first time that this was an instrument able to weave from its single line of melody a vast harmonic tapestry, full of colour and emotion. Genevieve's performances reveal equally gorgeous and surprising colours on the recorder.

Flinders Quartet • Benjamin Martin pianoFour Australian works played by one of Australia’s best chamber groups.Flinders Quartetis one of Australia’s best-loved and most highly respected chamber music ensembles, acclaimed for dynamic and stirring performances of a full spectrum of repertoire. The quartet also have an ongoing mission to further the Australian tradition of chamber music by commissioning and premiering new works by Australian composers: all four pieces on this disc were commissioned or premiered by the quartet in service of this goal.Elena Kats-Chernin’sThe Offering is the composer’s first piece for piano quintet. A kaleidoscopic work, it draws on elements and forms from different musical eras; witness the Baroque elegance of the first movement, the ragtime rhythms of the third. Richard Mills’ quartet Glimpses from My Book of Dada is full of idiosyncratic observations of life and people, from neighbours dancing in the rain to the behaviour of wombats, from composer and educator Dulcie Holland’s aversion to fifths to a surreal dream of Graham Koehne’s mother, it is a piece vivid in imagination and vivid in its descriptions.Peter Sculthorpe’seighteenth and final string quartet is in many ways his most poignant, an evocative depiction of the Australian landscape that he loved so well and its suffering under a changing climate. Widely regarded as one of the greatest modern chamber works, it is by turns dramatic, heroic and filled with longing. Like the Sculthorpe, Tom Henry’sScenes From a Poet's Life pushes the possibilities of the string quartet form, though this is much more personal in scope, as the poet of the title struggles to attain the paradise tantalisingly glimpsed in the process of writing.TRACKLISTINGELENA KATS-CHERNIN The OfferingI.

A Redder Shade of Rust
A Redder Shade of Rustis Peabody’s fifth studio album and the first since 2010’s Loose Manifesto. It also might just be the band’s most cohesive album yet. Recorded in a brand new school hall with Tim Kevin at the helm of knobs and Jamie Hutchings back in the producer’s chair (as he was for the first three albums), this album is ten tracks of pure indie-rock-pop joy and beauty. Listen to the heavy rhythms of album opener, You’re with Me and you can hear the open space of the large, taxpayer-funded wooden hall. Likewise in the droney Perfectly Fine and the ad-lib-esque roaming of Sometimes. When Kevin loudly declares, “rolling!” from the other side of the hall, at the start of some of the tracks, you know you’re in a big room. And there really was tape rolling in that machine, too! Lyrically, Chamie’s youth and a good dose of nostalgia are sprinkled right throughout the album, with tunes about old cars (Gemini), old friends (Julie) and old neighbourhoods (You’re with Me) all taking you on a little tour of the ‘burbs of Sydney, if not the museum of Chamie’s funny little mind. The only Brayovic-penned number (Too Many Days) also deals with some long-gone days and the joys of wasting away your twenties…. and thirties. After four albums that have entrenched themselves into Sydney and Australia’s independent music lore, this is a band that will keep adding to its canon for as long as its members are still shuffling along with a semblance of a pulse. A band whose dedication to great albums and great live shows won’t slow down, even if the frequency of that output does. A Redder Shade of Rust as an album is a bona fide keeper. Save yourself some time and trouble and press repeat after you press play.

Champion - Jael
The ABC is thrilled to announce that Jael will sing Champion at this year’s Junior Eurovision Song Contest (JESC). Champion is an uplifting pop-power anthem that delivers an empowering message – that there’s a bold and brave champion inside of us all! Held on Sunday 25th November at the Minsk Arena, Belarus, ABC ME will broadcast all the incredible performances of the 16th JESC competition during a very special family television event on Monday 26th November at 6pm. Hailing from Melbourne Victoria, 12-year-old Jael is the singing superstar chosen to represent Australia at JESC 2018. She began singing and wrote her first song at the age of four, and by the time she was nine she was already recording in her dad’s studio. Interested in a wide range of music genres, including pop, hip-hop, contemporary and gospel music – Jael won the top award at the Fast Track Talent Showcase for three years running, and aims to inspire others through her positive uplifting music and attitude. “I am so happy to be representing Australia at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. This is a dream come true for me and something I could never have imagined. I am so excited and can’t wait to represent Australia and make my family and the country proud!” said Jael. Redefining what it means to be a champion, this inspirational song celebrates those who stand up for what they believe in, overcoming adversity, are a great friend, are true to themselves, and have the courage to speak their truth. One of the song’s lyrics ‘shining your light’ is also a nod to this year’s theme – Light Up! The song was composed and written by Michael Paynter, Michael Delorenzis and Grace Laing from MSquared Productions. Jael is represented by ABC Music, and Champion is released worldwide today on all major digital music services. https://abcmusic.lnk.to/Jael ABC ME invited a group of young champions to join Jael in her music video. The music video for Champion was filmed at ABC Southbank and includes Jael and the children celebrating the various ways to be a champion. “This beautifully uplifting anthem conveys an important message to children - you don’t need to win first on a sporting field to be a champion. We can all be champions if we strive to do better and be better in everything we do. This song also enables Jael’s powerhouse voice to shine and we think it will be an instant hit with the ABC ME audience, JESC judges and fans,” said Libbie Doherty, Acting Head of ABC Children’s Television. Director of Blink TV and Australia’s Head of Delegation for Eurovision, Paul Clarke said: “From first listen, we knew this was the perfect song for Jael, it really shows off her emotive soul voice. Jael will make everyone who hears the song in Europe and Australia feel like a champion! Well done to Australian songwriting team MSquared, this song is a ripper and it maintains our strong standard at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest.” Natalie Waller, Head of ABC Music and Events, said: “We are thrilled to be working with the extraordinarily talented Jael, and are excited to share her journey through the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. We look forward to watching her flourish as an artist and performer.” Once again Australians will also be able to vote online for their favourite JESC 2018performer including Australia! ABC ME is rallying all Australians to get behind JESC 2018and celebrate not only Jael, but all the young performers competing. Information on how to vote will be available shortly on the ABC ME website. ABC ME, the ABC ME app and ABC iview will broadcast the JESC 2018 on Monday 26th November at 6.00pm.

Strong across her range, she displayed pealing clarity, excellent dynamic control and a strong sense of line.”– The Australian“You’d be hard pressed anywhere to hear more consistently satisfying singing” – Dallas Morning News“The young singer of the moment”– Limelight Magazine“A voice dripped in rich honey”– Herald SunStunning young Australian soprano Nicole Car is one of the brightest stars in international opera. In September 2018 she will make her debut at New York’s Metropolitan Opera opposite Vittorio Grigolo and Michael Fabiano, and November sees her debut at Bayerische Staatsoper. This follows hard on the heels of a Helpmann Award-winning performance as Violetta in Opera Australia’s production of Verdi’s La traviata earlier in the year. Nicole’s star status was confirmed by the huge success of her debut solo album, The Kiss, which reached #1 on the charts and was nominated for Best Classical Album at the 2016 ARIA Awards.In April 2018, Nicole joined the ACO, one of Australia’s most daring and exciting ensembles, for a series of unique live performances featuring arias sung by some of music’s most iconic female characters – including Mozart’s Dido and Verdi’s Desdemona. The album also showcases the artistry of the orchestra, featuring Mozart’s Symphony No.27 as well as a gorgeous performance of Beethoven’s Romance for Violin and Orchestra No.2 from Satu Vänskä, the ACO’s Principal Violin.Heroines is a brilliant recording of these extraordinary concerts, capturing one of the world’s most beautiful voices blending perfectly with one of the world’s great orchestras.“Here we present Nicole Car, a singer at the top of her game, to portray these heroines: courageous Queen Dido, wrathful Deidamia, the doomed Desdemona. These are characters who face the very depths of human expression – joy and hope, grief and despair – with resilience and strength.

The Church of Simultaneous Existence
Forty years after the release of one of the greatest Australian debut albums of all time - (I’m) Stranded - Ed Kuepper returns with a brand new band and a brand new contender for the title: The Aints! The Church of Simultaneous Existence. Made up from songs, musical elements and bits and prices that Sir Ed wrote from when he began high school in 1969 and started seriously fantasising about being in a band through to the Saints implosion in 1978 and arranged by The Aints! over 2017-2018, The Church of Simultaneous Existence is an album 40 years in the making. From the glorious slash and burn of Stranded-era track SOS ’75 via the horn-driven Red Aces (the mooted follow up to 1977s classic 7" Know Your Product) to Winters Way, recorded and released originally by the Laughing Clowns for their 1984 swan song LP Ghosts Of An Ideal Wife but written in 1975 and presented here closer to its original form. ”Things had started to move fairly quickly once The Saints recorded [I’m] Stranded (Fatal Records) in mid ’76. We recorded three albums over the next two years as well as doing a fair it of touring, and for a while things were looking very promising, however, business problems, compounded by personal and artistic differences meant the band didn’t get around to recording all the material I had lying around….so forty [very] odd years later it occurred to me that these songs might well have made up a hypothetical 4th album….The Church of the Simultaneous Existence…..the songs that refused to die….performed in much the way they would have had the band not split up in 1978" – Ed KuepperTo celebrate this monumental release The Aints! will hit the road for an extensive national tour performing all your new faves from tracks from The Aints! plus a treasure trove of classics from The Saints (’73 -’78). Tickets on-sale Friday August 24th via feelpresents.com The Church of Simultaneous Existence will be released September 21st on vinyl, CD and all digital services. The limited 2CD & vinyl releases will also include a bonus album The Church of Simultaneous Instrumentals. Watch the EPK here.

Cloudy Bay Chef’s Table at The Montagu, Hyatt Regency, Review
Oct. 14 New Zealand, Red Wine, White Wine no comments
Hyatt Regency London, The Churchill, 30 Portman Square, London W1H 7BH
Ahead of the London Restaurant Festival this week I was invited to The Montagu at Hyatt Regency, London, to sample a rather special meal. The meal was special in that the entire menu had been created to complement a small portfolio of six New Zealand wines rather than the usual method of matching wine to food. It was also special because these new world wines are almost exclusive to The Montagu restaurant since so few cases have been imported into the UK.
The wines in question were from Cloudy Bay, one of the oldest wine producers from the Marlborough region of New Zealand, where their vineyards have been established since 1985. The most notable wine from Cloudy Bay is perhaps their Sauvignon Blanc, known for its “vibrant aromatics, layers of pure fruit flavours, and fine structure” and often considered the benchmark for the variety. But Cloudy Bay also produces a number of other varieties including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and late harvest Riesling as well as limited release whites like Pinot gris.
Upon arrival at the restaurant we were given a glass of Cloudy Bay Pelorus NV, a sparkling white wine, to kick off the evening. There was a choice of two Amuse Bouche to match, one was a seared swordfish with Parmesan crisp and the other was tuna with salsa verde. These were enjoyed in the bar area so that all the guests in attendance had the opportunity to meet each other, the chef and the restaurant manager.
The man who created the menu we were sampling was Carlos Teixeira, a relatively young Portuguese chef currently holding fort as the Head Chef at The Montagu. Together with The Montagu’s sommelier and his team, Teixeira pulled together a further five courses to complement the other five beautiful wines we were about to sample.
After the Amuse Bouche, we were seated at the Chef’s Table – front row audience to the action inside the open kitchen of a five star hotel. As each of the dishes were plated in front of us, restaurant manager Adam Skrzypczak explained the tasting notes behind the wines and Teixeira explained how the dishes complemented the wines.
To begin the meal, we had Cloudy Bay Chardonnay 2007 matched with smoked duck breast with fig and roasted pepper salad. Course two was the infamous Sauvignon Blanc, the flagship wine of Cloudy Bay. We had a young vintage from 2009. Matched to this was a very fresh and fragrant fricassee of scallops, prawns and clams with lime and lemongrass. With the regular topping up of my glass, I was beginning to wonder how I was going to try and pace myself as well as remember everything that was said.
The third course was the Cloudy Bay Te Koko 2007, a wine named after the legend of the explorer Kupe. Whole roasted Foie Gras with Cox’s orange pippin and black truffle was selected to complement this wine. It was a match which was extremely difficult to do but done very well on this occasion. The flavours are so perfectly complementary that you could recall the tastes and smells for weeks afterwards.
The fourth course was the Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir 2008, the only red wine on the menu and in Cloudy Bay’s portfolio. Matched to this was braised breast of veal with curcuma polenta, blackcurrants and glazed root vegetables. The final course was the Cloudy Bay Gewurztraminer 2007. A very aromatic, light and fruity caramelised lychee parfait with cardamom foam and pistachios was chosen to match.
Five courses may sound like a lot but the dishes were light enough to allow the full sensory experience without filling up. By the end of the meal, it was obvious that everyone had decided on their favourite course and favourite wine which they happily reminisced as they staggered off into the night.

文章主題 : Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enfor
Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca. Hi Kerry, Love reading your column and loved watching your analysis on the TSN broadcasts!And were now in Round 2! Bruins! Canadiens! We know all about the great games of the past from the players, the broadcasters and the writers. How many games have you officiated between these two teams and what memories do you have from them?Kenneth Wilder,Montreal Kenneth: I worked far too many games between these two great Original Six Adams Division rivals during my 30 year NHL career to even count. What I will never forget is the intense energy that was created both on the ice and in the stands whenever these two teams met. The Bruin teams that general manager Harry Sinden assembled always had some scary dudes in the lineup to deal with over the years. The Big Bad Bruins were best known for playing a tough, intimidating, yet hard-working style that often made it a challenge for any referee to keep things under control. Players such as Wayne Cashman, Terry OReilly, Stan Jonathan or Jay Miller, just to mention a few, could usually be counted upon to make my life interesting. Star players like Raymond Bourque, Rick Nifty Middleton, and power forwards Al Secord and Cam Neely balanced the Bruins attack. I saw Jean Ratelle at the end of his career as a Boston Bruin and recall that Mr. Ratelle was one of the finest gentlemen I ever dealt with on the ice. Montreal tended to prefer a speed and finesse game led by the grace and skill of Guy Lafleur but they had their share of top notch muckers, grinders and checkers as well. Bob Gainey, Guy Carbonneau, Brian Skrudland, Mike Keane, Ryan Walter, Kirk Muller were all examples of Hab players that played a 200 foot game that was instilled by a long list of Hab coaches. Some of the best fights I witnessed involved John Kordic of the Habs. Mario Tremblay was a guy that played the game the right way and could really fight as well. I would be remiss if I didnt mention my new bestie Chris Nilan who I always had to keep a sharp eye on when he played for both the Canadiens and the Bruins! One of the most bizarre lines of defense I ever heard from a player in a league hearing came from Nuckles after I assessed the Canadiens tough guy a match penalty for knocking Nifty Middletons teeth out with a butt-end (Nucks still insists it was his glove). The incident took place in a game in the Bruins end zone, well away from the play and as the puck was moving up ice. Fortunately I snapped my head back toward Nilan in the perfect moment to catch the strike on Middleton. At the subsequent hearing held in the NHL boardroom in Montreal I got the cold icy stare from Nuckles when he arrived with team general manager Serge Savard. League disciplinarian, V.P. Brian ONeill, read my game report and the asked Chris if he had anything to say on his behalf. In a thick Boston accent Nucks said, "Yah, I got something to say for myself; Kerry Fraser picks on me and gives me more penalties than any other referee in the league. Whenever Im on the ice hes always watching me. Just to prove my point, if he had of been watching what he should have been (the puck and play going up ice) he wouldnt have seen me butt-end Middleton in the mouth!" Serge Savard practically spit his coffee all over the board room table following Nilans unusual line of defense. Brian ONeill suspended Chris for eight games, which at the time was substantial (Catch Nuckles on his terrific show on TSN Radio Montreal. Chris picks on me now as a frequent guest on his radio show). As we approach Game 1 tonight of the 34th such playoff series between the Bruins and the Canadiens, I will share two personal experiences. The first involves the classy superstar and HHOF member Raymond Bourque. After the national anthem and prior to the opening puck drop, Bourque approached me quietly and advised me to be sure to move away from the dot at center ice quickly if his center ice man won the faceoff cleanly back to him. If that were to happen, Bourque said he was going to pound the puck at the Montreal net to try and catch Patrick Roy off guard. Sure enough, the puck was drawn back cleanly to Raymond. The Bruin wound up for a slapper with his head up but noticed that I got caught up in the wingers behind me and was unable to clear the spot. Instead of blasting the puck, Bourque froze his pose in the back swing. My life practically passed before my eyes but the deliberate pregnant pause allowed me to back away before Raymond pounded the puck through the very spot that I had been standing a moment earlier. Game on as Roy made the save. The other involves a fan that was either drunk, out of control, or most likely both. In a very tough game I had just assessed a penalty and was standing in the referee crease during a commercial timeout and as the players stood at their respective bench. An empty 26 ounce Seagrams whiskey bottle flew out of the upper level of the Forum and landed at center ice. The bottle hit the ice flat, didnt break and began to spin as it moved in my direction. The bottle then struck the dasher kick plate beside my skate and amazingly still did not break. I picked the empty bottle of 5 Star off the ice and handed it to the penalty timekeeper. Even though these incidents occurred in different games from different playoff seasons, I had two narrow misses; one from a Raymond Bourque slap shot while the other was a flying whiskey bottle. Ray demonstrated the class I always experienced from the Bs superstar. The only positive thing I can say about the classless fan is that at least he drained the contents of the bottle prior to throwing it! I expect an emotional, tough series between these two old Adams Division rivals. Antoine Griezmann Jersey . Goldeyes third baseman Ryan Pineda drove in three runs and the pitching staff didnt allow an earned run, as Winnipeg downed Kansas City 6-3 in American Association exhibition action at CommunityAmerica Ballpark in Kansas. Hugo Lloris Jersey . Siddikur, who led on all four days and took a four-stroke lead going into the final day, bogeyed four out of six holes starting at the sixth and continued a forgettable last round in which he returned a three-over 75 to finish with a 14-under 274. http://www.nationalfrancesoccer.com/. Virtanen opened the scoring at 6:45 of the first period, then gave Canada a two-goal lead with a power-play goal 1:03 into the second. Sweden cut the lead in half when Daniel Muzito Bagenda scored a power-play goal at 10:57 of the second. Ousmane Dembele Jersey . SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. Florian Thauvin Jersey . Brazilian striker Brandao opened the scoring with a header in the 55th minute before winger Franck Tabanou volleyed home from close range to double the lead in the 61st.NEW YORK -- The way Jesse Hahn pitched, his dad expected a winning effort. The RBI single? Well, that was something new. "Im surprised he didnt run to third base," Fred Hahn said outside the clubhouse. "Hes not much of a hitter." His son earned his first big league victory Saturday, throwing one-hit ball for six innings and contributing a soft single as the San Diego Padres stopped a five-game losing streak, beating the New York Mets 5-0. "Its awesome," the rookie said. "I was very relaxed. I stayed focused and stayed calm." Hahn combined with the San Diego bullpen on a two-hitter. The Mets managed Ruben Tejadas infield hit leading off the first and Lucas Dudas bloop single down the left field line in the ninth. Promoted from Double-A to make his second appearance in the majors, Hahn (1-1) struck out seven and walked three in the longest outing of his professional career. The 24-year-old righty escaped his biggest jam by fanning Matt den Dekker with the bases loaded to end the fourth. At 6-foot-5 with socks pulled up nearly to his knees, Hahn won in front of his father, sister and about 20 family members and friends. They came from Groton, Connecticut, where his high school teammate was injured Mets ace Matt Harvey. "I wanted all of those people to be here. Theyve supported me my whole life," Hahn said. Hahn missed the 2011 season after having Tommy John surgery, and Harvey watched from the dugout while he rehabs from the same procedure. Hahn said Harvey sent him a text message before the game wishing him good luck. After Hahn was done, Harvey texted congratulations. "I know he had a lot of people here from Connecticut," Padres manager Bud Black said, "and he responded." Hahn made his major league debut June 3 against Pittsburgh, and was chased after giving up two home runs in 3 2-3 innings. This time, Hahn was effective with his arm and bat. Hahn blooped an opposite-field single to right with two outs in the fourth for his first hit since high school. Cameron Maybin easily scored, and was trotting back to the dugout when plate umpire Dan Bellino flipped him Hahns souvenir. &"Not your prototypical line drive, bullet, missile you like for your first hit," Black kidded.dddddddddddd Maybin later showed off some alert baserunning, winding up all the way at third on an infield grounder. Yonder Alonso broke from third on the bouncer and eventually was tagged out, but he prolonged the rundown long enough to allow Maybin to keep running. Chase Headley hit a solo homer, an RBI single and scored twice. Alonso hit two doubles. Padres relievers Dale Thayer, Joaquin Benoit and Huston Street each pitched an inning, sending the Mets to their ninth loss in 11 games. "The way they threw the ball, mixed in with some poor at-bats, and they were able to throw up a lot of zeros," Mets star David Wright said. Zack Wheeler (2-7) remained winless in eight home starts since last August. Hes averaging an NL-high 18 pitches per inning, and threw 100 in five busy innings. San Diego began the day last in the majors in batting average and runs, and just three starters were hitting over .215. The Padres totalled seven runs during their recent skid. This was the first time in 14 games they scored more than four runs in a game. NOTES: Hahn was promoted from Double-A San Antonio and LHP Troy Patton was put on the DL. ... There was a brief delay in the ninth after a panel of padding fell off the left-field wall in foul territory. ... Padres RF Will Venable made a diving catch on Dudas sinking liner to end the first with runners at the corners. ... The Mets Chris Young struck out four times. ... San Diego RHP Ian Kennedy (5-7, 3.63) faces RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka (3-0, 2.95) in Sundays series finale. ... Rapper 50 Cent gave a concert at Citi Field after the game. Last month, the lefty threw out the first pitch before a Mets game and his toss sailed far, far wide of the plate and wound up on blooper reels. There were plenty of wrappers on the field during the game, too, blown around by gusting winds. ... Former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona presented Army Lt. Col. Thomas Sullivan with a flag that was flown over Citi Field during an on-field ceremony in the middle of the third inning. ' ' '

Fighter Highlight: The Most ‘Notorious’ One Before Conor McGregor
A Throw Back Thursday retrospective of one of the most intriguing men to step foot into a cage
Enter “Lightning” Lee Murray
It was Saturday night, July 13th in London, England, and UFC 38: Brawl at the Hall had ended. It was an epic night of fights that concluded with a rematch between Matt Hughes and Carlos Newton. Carlos was attempting to regain his belt he had just lost to Hughes in a controversial fight. In their first fight, Carlos sunk in a triangle choke but forgot about the power Hughes was so well known for. So Hughes, taking advantage of Newton’s failure to secure his leg, hoisted Carlos Newton off the ground (still in the triangle), walked him over to the fence, and slammed Newton to the canvas making a thud so loud, Hughes’ family could hear it back home in Iowa.
Newton fell unconscious and Big John Mcarthy declared Matt Hughes the winner. The controversy came in when it was realized that Hughes was actually unconscious as well, and would have been laying passed out beside Newton had his legs not displayed incredible muscle memory.
This night however, Matt Hughes left no doubt, as he caught Carlos Newton in a reverse crucifix and grounded and pounded Newton to victory.
It was a night for celebration.
Matt Hughes had won and now defended the UFC welterweight championship. With an entourage fit for a Colombian president, Hughes attended the UFC after party. According to Hughes’ book, Made in America: The Most Dominant Champ in UFC History, as told by friend and trainer Pat Miletich, it was about
“Four o’clock in the morning and they had everybody leave the club, right? Well, the UFC had bussed us all over there but they didn’t have a bus to take us back. It’s down to Mark, me [Pat Miletich], Tony Fryklund, Chuck Liddell, Tito [Ortiz] and Lee Murray. Lee Murray’s crew was still there, Tito’s crew was also still there. I walked out the back door to go in the alley. Tito’s buddy jumped on my back. He jumped on my back and acted like he had me in a choke hold, just messing around, you know? Then I felt him get ripped off of me. I turned around and Tony Fryklund had HIM in a chokehold, and was really choking him. The guy looked like a mouse that just got trapped in a mousetrap; his eyes were popping out and obviously he wasn’t breathing. Tony thought he was actually attacking me – that’s the only reason he did it. So I turned round and told Tony to let him go, and Tony let him go. Then Tito’s buddy turned around and basically said ‘what the f*** are you doing?’ to Tony. Well, when he said that, one of Lee Murray’s buddies, that one guy who kind of took care of us all week long, thought this guy was actually trying to fight us, so he ran out of the crowd and cracked this kid with a right hand and knocked him out cold…. The entire alley erupted into a huge brawl. I was just standing there, and there were bodies flying all over the place. I was confused how it all happened, because it happened so fast. I was standing there with my mouth open like ‘what the hell is going on?’ I looked over and Chuck Liddell was with his back against the wall, knocking people out that were trying to go after him. Then I looked over and there’s Tito directly past me, taking his coat off, going after Lee Murray, and Lee Murray’s backing up the alley taking his jacket off. Both their jackets come off, and Tito throws a left hook at Lee Murray and misses, and right as he missed, Lee Murray counters with, like, a five-punch combo, landed right on the chin, and knocked Tito out. OUT. Tito fell face-first down to the ground, and then Lee Murray stomped him on the face a couple of times with his boots.”
The story spread like wildfire. The then UFC Light Heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz knocked out by a relatively unknown Brit? Who was this Lee Murray? To the mainstream, his name may as well have been replaced with Joe Schmoe, but to the more than casual fan and the British mma community, Lee Murray was far from an unknown.
“Lightning” Lee Murray was a knockout artist known as a local British hood. If being enshrined in the underworld wasn’t enough, Lee Murray added to his lore by knocking out legendary striker, Jose Landis-Jons aka “Pele” and now long reigning light- heavyweight champ, Tito Ortiz, in a street fight no less.
Capturing Lightning in a Bottle
Well the UFC had to have him. It took almost 2 years but he was set to face Jorge River, another striker, at UFC 46: Supernatural.
The bout did not last long. Jorge Rivera looked to get the fight to the ground immediately! Apparently, he took a lesson from Murray’s destruction of “Pele”. The takedown was succesful.
Lee Murray quickly worked to show he wasn’t a one-trick pony. He transitioned quickly from half guard to full guard and from full guard to an arm bar.
At this point, Jorge stacked his weight on Murray making it difficult for Murray to extend the arm and finish the submission. Lee, however, did not skip a beat, as he transitioned yet again to a triangle choke but deceptively only used the triangle position to finish Jorge with the armbar. It was a spectacular display of jujitsu from a striker.
The entire affair lasted all of 3 and a half minutes.
The stage was now set for a rematch between Murray and the Light Heavyweight champion, Tito Ortiz. Lee called him out immediately after his bout and the antithesis was clear; Lee, who walked out to the Octagon in an orange ‘prison-issued’ jump suit, playing the role of the gangster and Tito in the crowd, in a chic leather jacket and abercrombie shades sitting on top of his head, playing the role of the sheltered champion kept safe by the UFC up until that point.
This could have been the basis of Rocky 3 if it had happened 20 years earlier.
This fight would never materialize though as visa issues prevented Murray from re-entering the US to accept a follow up fight in the UFC.
When Lightning Strikes
Lee Murray had one more appearance in a cage in a bout against none other than Anderson “The Spider” Silva. He was unsuccessful, losing a unanimous decision to “The Spider”.
With a tough decision about where to go from there, Lee Murray was left with few choices. He allegedly chose to go back to the underworld that was responsible for his notoriety to begin with.
Lee Murray is suspected of being responsible for the largest known cash heist in history. Over 90 million dollars was stolen. If not for a tin of makeup with Lee M. written across it and the infamy of Lee Murray at that time in London, he may never have been identified. ‘Notorious’ before Conor Mcgregor ever even stepped foot into the octagon, the Lee Murray story is as intriguing as it gets.

Relaxation Revolution [Audiobook]
Relaxation Revolution: Enhancing Your Personal Health Through the Science and Genetics of Mind Body Healing [Audiobook] by Herbert Benson, William Proctor
Tantor Media | 2010 | ISBN: 1400167469 | MP3 VBR V0 | 7 hrs 51 mins | 481.35Mb
While new age types and holistic healers have long argued for the connection between mental attitude and physical health, Western doctors have resisted, largely because of the difficulties with testing the efficacy of ephemeral ideas such as "the placebo effect" and the value of meditation in reducing pain, nausea, and migraines. Benson, of Harvard Medical School, has dedicated his life to proving that meditative responses tangibly improve physical health, reduce illness, and encourage a healthy immune system. To combat skeptics, the authors utilize conventional research methods and rigorously test a variety of illnesses. The results are compelling, but good science doesn't always make for great reading; after presenting a relatively simple theory, the authors barrage readers with redundant examples of their success. While their results are confined to the scientific journals cited here (though not in detail), the authors create a quandary. Laypeople will find the repetition tedious, while scientists will be skeptical of paperless overviews. While their research may be sound, Benson and Proctor fail to strike that key balance, and readers wanting to test their methods will have to look elsewhere.
Broken Windows, Broken Business [Audiobook]
Broken Windows, Broken Business: How the Smallest Remedies Reap the Biggest Rewards [Audiobook] by Michael Levine
Books on Tape | 2005 | ISBN: 1415926557 | MP3 VBR V8 | 4 hrs 15 mins | 102.2MB
"Small things make all the difference in business"
Once every few years a book comes along with an insight so penetrating, so powerful–and so simply, demonstrably true–that it instantly changes the way we think and do business. Such a book is BROKEN WINDOWS, BROKEN BUSINESS, a breakthrough in management theory that can alter the destiny of countless companies striving to stay ahead of their competition.
In this vital and seminal work, author Michael Levine–whose Guerrilla P.R. has become a standard text of public relations theory and is taught at the graduate business schools of Harvard, Stanford, and Northwestern–offers compelling evidence that problems in business, large and small, typically stem from inattention to tiny details. Constant attention to detail not only demonstrates corporate competence, but also shows that the company cares about what the consumer wants. Broken windows–and peeling paint, worn carpets, and poorly maintained restrooms–send the opposite signal: that the business doesn't care.
With tips and advice on changing any business to one that dots its i's, crosses its t's, and attracts more clients, BROKEN WINDOWS, BROKEN BUSINESS goes straight to the heart of what makes all enterprises successful–the little things that mean a lot.
Reality is Broken [Audiobook]
Reality is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World [Audiobook] by Jane McGonigal
Brilliance Audio | 2011 | ISBN: 1611064279 | MP3@96 kbps | 13 hrs 30 mins | 556.57Mb
People who spend hours playing video or online games are often maligned for “wasting their time” or “not living in the real world,” but McGonigal argues persuasively and passionately against this notion in her eminently effective examination of why games are important. She begins by disabusing the reader of some inherent prejudices and assumptions made about gamers, such as that they’re lazy and unambitious. Quite the opposite: McGonigal finds that gamers are working hard to achieve goals within the world of whatever game they are playing, whether it’s going on a quest to win attributes to enhance their in-game characters or performing tasks to get to a higher level in the game. Games inspire hard work, the setting of ambitious goals, learning from and even enjoying failure, and coming together with others for a common goal. McGonigal points out many real-world applications, including encouraging students to seek out secret assignments, setting up household chores as a challenge, even a 2009 game created by The Guardian to help uncover the excessive expenses of members of Parliament. With so many people playing games, this comprehensive, engaging study is an essential read.
The Clockwork Universe [Audiobook]
The Clockwork Universe: Isaac Newton, The Royal Society, and the Birth of the Modern World [Audiobook] by Edward Dolnick
Audible | 2011 | ASIN: B004MTY9B6 | MP3@96 kbps | 10 hrs 07 mins | 416.69MB
The Clockwork Universe is the story of a band of men who lived in a world of dirt and disease but pictured a universe that ran like a perfect machine. A meld of history and science, this book is a group portrait of some of the greatest minds who ever lived as they wrestled with natures most sweeping mysteries. The answers they uncovered still hold the key to how we understand the world.
At the end of the 17th century, an age of religious wars, plague, and the Great Fire of London when most people saw the world as falling apart, these earliest scientists saw a world of perfect order. They declared that, chaotic as it looked, the universe was in fact as intricate and perfectly regulated as a clock. This was the tail end of Shakespeare's century, when the natural and the supernatural still twined around each other. Disease was a punishment ordained by God, astronomy had not yet broken free from astrology, and the sky was filled with omens. It was a time when little was known and everything was new. These brilliant, ambitious, curious men believed in angels, alchemy, and the devil, and they also believed that the universe followed precise, mathematical laws, a contradiction that tormented them and changed the course of history. The Clockwork Universe is the fascinating and compelling story of the bewildered geniuses of the Royal Society, the men who made the modern world.
If Rome Hadn't Fallen
If Rome Hadn't Fallen: How the Survival of Rome Might Have Changed World History by Timothy Venning
Pen and Sword | 2012 | ISBN: 1848849028 | EPUB | 625.23KB
This is a fascinating exploration of how the history of Europe, and indeed the world, might have been different if the Western Roman Empire had survived the crises that pulled it apart in the 4th and 5th centuries.
Dr. Timothy Venning starts by showing how that survival and recovery might plausibly have happened if several relatively minor things had been different. He then moves on to discuss a series of scenarios which might have altered the course of subsequent history dramatically. Would the survival of a strong Western Empire have assisted the Eastern (Byzantine) Empire in halting the expansion of Islam in the Middle East and North Africa? How would the Western Roman Empire have handled the Viking threat? Could they even have exploited the Viking discovery of America and established successful colonies there?
While necessarily speculative, all the scenarios are discussed within the framework of a deep understanding of the major driving forces, tensions and trends that shaped European history and help to shed light upon them. In so doing they help the reader to understand why things panned out as they did, as well as what might have been.
Explaining Hitler: The Search for the Origins of His Evil
Explaining Hitler: The Search for the Origins of His Evil [Audiobook] by Ron Rosenbaum
Books on Tape | 2006 | ASIN: B000H0MGMI | MP3@64 kbps | 23 hrs 05 mins | 641.51MB
Explaining Hitler is a misleading title, for the focus is primarily on the Jewish academic community's attempts to explain Hitler-to put it in grossly oversimplified terms, this is somewhat like the prey explaining the motivations of the predator. The result is that, while Hitler remains a mystery, the academic and personal biases of the explainers are revealed. To each person's theories and comments Rosenbaum adds his own analysis, finding the flaws with precision.
Hitler explanation ranges from the deeply personal (abusive father, infection by a Jewish prostitute, mother's painful death under the care of a Jewish physician) to the inevitable influence of historical forces (post-war inflation, depression). Rosenbaum discusses the personal in depth, including Hitler's rumored Jewish ancestor and bizarre relationship with his half-niece Geli Raubal, the convolutions each theory takes, and the lack of facts or reliable information to support any of them. For example, Rosenbaum astutely points out the only real "proof" of the abusive father is Hitler's own assertion and sarcastically suggests that there is reason not to trust Hitler's word. One argument that immediately comes to mind that Rosenbaum only briefly alludes to later is that millions of people have abusive fathers, bad experiences with individual members of ethnic and other groups, and so forth, yet do not turn into war criminals responsible for the deaths of millions. In short, these theories might explain Hitler's anti-Semitism, but not the results.
What is disturbing about so many of these explanations (some of which are advocated by such noted people as Simon Wiesenthal, who favors the Jewish prostitute theory), and more sophisticated ones that appear later in the book, such as George Steiner's, is their insistence that a Jew or a group of Jews is responsible. In these theories, a Jewish ancestor, a Jewish prostitute, an Eastern Jew with a different appearance, or the Jewish "blackmail of transcendence" and "addiction to the ideal" is responsible for Hitler-implying Hitler is not responsible at all. Although the egotistical and monomaniacal Claude Lanzmann, maker of the documentary Shoah, is too self-centered and angry to clearly articulate the basis for his belief that Hitler explanation is inherently "obscene," it could be because so much "explanation" has found a way to point a finger at the Jews, directly or indirectly, while minimizing Hitler. Perhaps for that reason, Lanzmann is interested only in how the Holocaust was accomplished, not with the motivations of Hitler or his followers. The major flaw is that Lanzmann has missed the point by dictating that his rule of "There is no why" must apply to all other individuals-and the irony of that.
As Rosenbaum repeatedly points out, no explanations for Hitler are acceptable that excuse him-that look to a bad experience with a Jew rather than to, for example, the influence of anti-Semitism surrounding him in Austria and Germany. Again, however, it can be said that anti-Semitic influence has surrounded many people (as Rosenbaum notes, pre-war France was more anti-Semitic than either Austria or Germany) who have not killed, let alone killed millions.
Rosenbaum's approach is excellent, pairing individuals with complementary or opposing viewpoints, e.g., Lanzmann and Dr. Micheels, the theologian Emil Fackenheim and the atheist historian Yehuda Bauer in "The Temptation to Blame God." Even revisionist David Irving is given a chapter. Rosenbaum saves what seems to be his preference for the last chapter-Lucy Dawidowicz's belief that Hitler decided on The Final Solution as early as 1918, based on what he said and did not say over time, and on the "laughter" that is transferred from the Jewish victims to the Nazi victors. While this does not explain the origins of Hitler's evil, it pinpoints the time frame and removes the notion that he was ambivalent or experienced a sense of moral ambiguity. Dawidowicz's Hitler knows early on what he wants to do and lets insiders in on the "joke" he finds it to be. Presented in this way, Dawidowicz does seem to have come closest to the truth about Hitler. After all, how can one capable of ambivalence ultimately kill millions?
To me, one critical question is not why or how any one man became evil or chose an evil course of action, for the explanation could simply be that the capacity for evil in an individual may be higher than most of us are capable of realising or accepting. That is, everyday evil like John Wayne Gacy's is accomplished in isolation and is therefore limited in scope. The intent and the desired scope given opportunity remain unknowns. The more frightening question is why and how so many chose to follow Hitler. I do not necessarily mean the German people, per se, but the thousands of bureaucrats, managers, and soldiers who physically carried out The Final Solution, knowing exactly what this entailed and what it signified. Hitler seized the opportunity offered by the political and social situation to institutionalize his personal evil. A single man may envision and desire genocide, but it takes followers and believers to carry it out. Explaining Hitler (or Stalin or Genghis Khan) is not enough to explain the scope of this particular human evil. Without followers, there are no leaders. And without followers, millions of Jews (and Cambodians and Indians and so forth) could not have died. The evil that is so hard to face goes well beyond Hitler to a place that no one could truly wish to discover.

Restless Giant: The United States from Watergate to Bush
Restless Giant: The United States from Watergate to Bush v Gore by James T Patterson
Oxford University Press | 2007 | ISBN: 0195305221 | MOBI | 2.19MB
In Restless Giant, acclaimed historical author James Patterson provides a crisp, concise assessment of the twenty-seven years between the resignation of Richard Nixon and the election of George W. Bush in a sweeping narrative that seamlessly weaves together social, cultural, political, economic, and international developments. We meet the era's many memorable figures and explore the "culture wars" between liberals and conservatives that appeared to split the country in two.
Patterson describes how America began facing bewildering developments in places such as Panama, Somalia, Bosnia, and Iraq, and discovered that it was far from easy to direct the outcome of global events, and at times even harder for political parties to reach a consensus over what attempts should be made. At the same time, domestic issues such as the persistence of racial tensions, high divorce rates, alarm over crime, and urban decay led many in the media to portray the era as one of decline. Patterson offers a more positive perspective, arguing that, despite our often unmet expectations, we were in many ways better off than we thought. By 2000, most Americans lived more comfortably than they had in the 1970s, and though bigotry and discrimination were far from extinct, a powerful rights consciousness insured that these were less pervasive in American life than at any time in the past.
With insightful analyses and engaging prose, Restless Giant captures this period of American history in a way that no other book has, illuminating the road that the United States traveled from the dismal days of the mid-1970s through the hotly contested election of 2000.
The Glorious Cause: The American Revolution, 1763-1789
The Glorious Cause: The American Revolution, 1763-1789 by Robert Middlekauff
Oxford University Press | 2007 | ISBN: 019531588X | MOBI | 6.15MB
The first book to appear in the illustrious Oxford History of the United States, this critically acclaimed volume--a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize--offers an unsurpassed history of the Revolutionary War and the birth of the American republic.
Beginning with the French and Indian War and continuing to the election of George Washington as first president, Robert Middlekauff offers a panoramic history of the conflict between England and America, highlighting the drama and anguish of the colonial struggle for independence. Combining the political and the personal, he provides a compelling account of the key events that precipitated the war, from the Stamp Act to the Tea Act, tracing the gradual gathering of American resistance that culminated in the Boston Tea Party and "the shot heard 'round the world." The heart of the book features a vivid description of the eight-year-long war, with gripping accounts of battles and campaigns, ranging from Bunker Hill and Washington's crossing of the Delaware to the brilliant victory at Hannah's Cowpens and the final triumph at Yorktown, paying particular attention to what made men fight in these bloody encounters. The book concludes with an insightful look at the making of the Constitution in the Philadelphia Convention of 1787 and the struggle over ratification. Through it all, Middlekauff gives the reader a vivid sense of how the colonists saw these events and the importance they gave to them. Common soldiers and great generals, Sons of Liberty and African slaves, town committee-men and representatives in congress--all receive their due. And there are particularly insightful portraits of such figures as Sam and John Adams, James Otis, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and many others.
This new edition has been revised and expanded, with fresh coverage of topics such as mob reactions to British measures before the War, military medicine, women's role in the Revolution, American Indians, the different kinds of war fought by the Americans and the British, and the ratification of the Constitution. The book also has a new epilogue and an updated bibliography.
The cause for which the colonists fought, liberty and independence, was glorious indeed. Here is an equally glorious narrative of an event that changed the world, capturing the profound and passionate struggle to found a free nation.
Plagues in World History
Plagues in World History by John Aberth
Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group | 2011 | ISBN: 1442207965 | EPUB | 1.62MB
Plagues in World History provides a concise, comparative world history of catastrophic infectious diseases, including plague, smallpox, tuberculosis, cholera, influenza, and AIDS. Geographically, these diseases have spread across the entire globe; temporally, they stretch from the sixth century to the present. John Aberth considers not only the varied impact that disease has had upon human history but also the many ways in which people have been able to influence diseases simply through their cultural attitudes toward them. The author argues that the ability of humans to alter disease, even without the modern wonders of antibiotic drugs and other medical treatments, is an even more crucial lesson to learn now that AIDS, swine flu, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, and other seemingly incurable illnesses have raged worldwide. Aberth's comparative analysis of how different societies have responded in the past to disease illuminates what cultural approaches have been and may continue to be most effective in combating the plagues of today.
Where China Meets India
Where China Meets India: Burma and the Closing of the Great Asian Frontier by Thant Myint-U
Faber & Faber | 2011 | ISBN: 0571239633 | EPUB | 573.44KB
From their very beginnings, the civilizations of China and India have been walled off from each other, not only by the towering summits of the Himalayas, but also by the vast and impenetrable jungle, hostile tribes, and remote inland kingdoms that once stretched a thousand miles from Calcutta across Burma to the upper Yangtze River. In the next few years this last great frontier will likely vanish - forests cut down, dirt roads replaced by superhighways, insurgencies ended - leaving China and India exposed to each other as never before. This basic shift in geography is as profound as the opening of the Suez Canal. What will this change mean? Thant Myint-U is in a unique position to know. Over the past few years he has travelled extensively across this vast territory. In a region of long-forgotten kingdoms and modern-day wars, high-speed trains and gleaming new shopping malls have now come within striking distance of the last remaining forests and impoverished mountain communities. And he has pondered the new strategic centrality of Burma, the country of his ancestry, where Asia's two rising giant powers - China and India - appear to be vying for supremacy. Part travelogue, part history, part investigation, "Where China Meets India" takes us across the fast-changing Asian frontier, giving us a masterful account of the region's long and rich history and its sudden significance for the rest of the world.
Histories of Sexuality: Antiquity to Sexual Revolution
Histories of Sexuality: Antiquity to Sexual Revolution by Stephen Garton
Routledge | 2004 | ISBN: 0415972299 | PDF | 2.33MB
Sexuality has many histories, not just one. This is the first comprehensive history of those many histories--the ways in which sex and sexuality have been made the subjects of history, and the key debates that have shaped our thinking on these elusive yet universal subjects.
Historian Stephen Garton deftly sets into context the work of the major figures from Havelock Ellis and Alfred Kinsey through to Stephen Marcus and Michel Foucault, while exploring our growing understanding of such subjects as male passivity in ancient Greek sexual cultures, the "invention" of homosexuality in the nineteenth century, mechanisms for controlling the birth rate, the relation of sex to class, and the rise of sexual sciences in the twentieth century.
This comprehensive volume will be a valuable tool for anyone interested in sexuality and society.
A Consumer's Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients 7th Edition
A Consumer's Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients: Complete Information About the Harmful and Desirable Ingredients Found in Cosmetics and Cosmeceuticals [7th Edition] by Ruth Winter
Three Rivers Press | 2009 | ISBN: 0307451119 | EPUB | 2.9MB
Everything you need to know about the safety and efficacy of cosmetics and cosmeceuticals.
Is it a cosmetic? A drug? A nutrient? It’s becoming more and more difficult to tell the difference with the cosmetic companies combining the three. And unlike with food additives, the FDA has little control over what goes into the products that claim to make you look more beautiful–even though cosmeceuticals (cosmetics that purport to have druglike benefits) have skyrocketed into a multibillion-dollar industry.
So before you slather on that “wrinkle-reducing” cream or swallow a “skin-rejuvenating”vitamin, find out what’s in your health and beauty products with A Consumer’s Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients. This updated and expanded edition gives you the facts you need to protect yourself and your family from possible irritants, confusing chemical names, and the exaggerated claims of gimmicky additives. With 800 new ingredients found in toiletries, cosmetics, and cosmeceuticals–everything ranging from shampoo to shaving cream, bath lotions to Botox–this alphabetically organized guide evaluates them all, and includes targeted information for children and for people of color.
A Consumer’s Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients is more indispensable than ever to anyone who cares about the health of themselves and their loved ones.

The Art of Escaping
Author: Dr. Akbar Naqvi Publications: The Herald – Fine Art (p-146) Dated: May 1997
Exhibition Navigation
Writing about Moeen Faruqis recent exhibition has ended up becoming an obligation to salvage him from his admirers. One reviewer, for instance, describes him as an “educationist, a published poet, a short story writer and an art critic.” Given all these preoccupations, it is a wonder that he has time to paint. Yet, since 1993, Moeen has held three exhibitions including the present show at Chawkandi Art.
Moeen used to paint angst, alienation and other stereotypical existential ideas. But I am sure the burden of his friends desired image of him-as a man of multiple talents-must have been a heavy cross to bear. As such, the few paintings in this exhibition which are executed in a different style must have come as a pressing temptation.
In what he calls a departure from his earlier work, Moeen is seeking to give himself more space and air. He has yet to capture light, which is poetry to painting, but the oppression with which he was struggling in his early work seem to have lifted. This is evident in the work, Fruit of passion. What passion this painting depicts is not clear, but Moeens skill in handling the by now copybook exercise of contriving shallow depth on flat surface, originating in Cezanne, shows to advantage. Tables, fruit, a chair and other accessories of the painting indicate that the artists challenge is not to unburden his sexual repression but to study the relationship between objects and space, If Beckmann was Moeens presiding genius earlier, encouraging him with his depression, hopefully the eclectic direction provided by Cezanne and Matisse will elevate Moeens mood.
While Fruit of passion is a happy departure from Moeens earlier preoccupations, Man with sculpture evokes some of the same old themes. In this clever composition, redolent with images of entrapment, a wooden man and a woman-like piece of modern sculpture kill space, suggesting a state of helplessness and loss of freedom as a fait accompli.
But in Variation on a theme, which may be seen as a deconstruction of Man with sculpture, Moeen moves once again in a new direction. Flattening the human figure as well as the sculpture, he opens up the composition to air and sky. Not content with this, he fills the work with ornamental markings. A sense of release is apparent even though the composition is cluttered. That the work is flat and poster-like adds to its felicity.
Moeens emphasis in Variation on a theme is not on alienation or angst, but the new-found joy of picture making. However, there is a risk involved in painting for the sake of painting, because you may have nothing to say, only something to show. And people do not see, but grope for words to cover up their blindness.
In traditional societies of the East, seekers after the self were advised to take a vow of silence. Moeen is a taciturn person, who does not have much to say in any case, and the silence of the new paintings comes naturally to him. It is ironic, then, that we are invited to read Moeens painting as “an engaging book.” Such a suggestion is in fact a disservice to the artist because the paintings become lost in words. Given the artists own reticence, I am sure that he did not intend this and would like us to see his paintings first and foremost as visual objects. It is a pleasant surprise that some of them are actually rather good, showing that is handling of paint has improved.
One hopes that Moeens interest in painting is more serious than his own image of himself. Learning from him that in his school days he was known as the class artist, he must have been keen to develop his natural gift. Added to this could be the desire to escape into a world of his own making, within and for which he is responsible to no one. If this compulsion persists, he will grow as a painter-but only if he remains firmly planted in his own space where voices of family and friends cannot enter.
It is curious coincidence that Moeens cousin, Wahab Jaffer, is also exhibiting his work this month. Both come from a business family; today, Moeen is in the business of schools while Wahab runs his familys aviation company.
Whereas Moeen seeks freedom from his immediate shackles, Wahab learnt to paint to survive. The trauma of losing his business during the senior Bhuttos nationalisation was too much for Wahab. His heart gave up, and he took refuge in painting. What began as therapy then became a life-long vocation.
Wahab learnt to paint in Ali Imams studio, but derived his inspiration from the paintings of Ahmed Pervaiz, the magnificent derelict who, by his very existence, put many of our cherished values of security and respectability to shame. Unlike Moeen, Wahab has never infused social or political messages into his painting. Instead of seeking to express concepts of sorrow and protest, he found Ahmed Pervaiz. But Wahab did not copy Pervaiz, even when he was seen by many to be doing so. Instead, he painted his inspiration from Pervaiz in a style uniquely his own. Wahab became a nocturnal painter, working diligently at night in a converted bathroom lit by bright electric lamps. This light was only a convenience, through, because what he actually painted in thrusts of refulgent colour was his blind hope to survive.
Over the years, Wahab has made two kinds of paintings. The first contain vases and flowering paint, and bask not in the light of the sun, even though they are connected to the rainbow. lt is here that nature and art come to ether in darkness, where life and death coexist. The movement of the artists hand brings forth his forms, and the same gestural motion often creates strange faces instead of strange flowers. This is the second type of Wahabs painting. The gestural aberration of these faces, without gender and irresponsive to the category of ugliness or beauty, reveals a romantic sensibility. But he has also painted anonymous female faces in a more conventional manner. These faces could be described as the artists fantasy of dumb innocence as the desirable object of love. For this, he could well be accused of sexism in this age of feminist deconstruction.
It may be recalled that Ahmed Pervaiz also painted female faces, but this work addressed a personal agenda rather than portraying his art at its best. None of the faces he painted could be called romantic or innocent, however. They were plain women with whom he was angry. The woman he loved romantically, he did not paint.

Calling the length contraction psychological
I have been claiming that no one saw any difference between Lorentz's and Einstein's versions of special relativity, until differences were falsely invented many years later. Most papers referred to special relativity as "Lorentz-Einstein theory". Lorentz and Einstein just had slightly different ways of saying the same thing. As Lorentz explained, Einstein had a simpler presentation because he assumed as postulates what Lorentz and Poincare had deduced from accepted theory and experiment.
The first paper I found drawing a sharp difference is On Ehrenfest's paradox, by V. Varićak, 1911:
The occurrence of Ehrenfest's paradox is understandable, when one clings to the standpoint taken by Lorentz in the formulation of his contraction hypothesis, i.e., when one sees the contraction of moving rigid bodies in the direction of motion as a change which takes place in an objective way. Every element of the periphery will be changed independently of the observer according to Lorentz, while the elements of the radius remain non-contracted.
However, if one employs Einstein's standpoint, according to whom the mentioned contraction is only an apparent, subjective phenomenon, caused by the manner of our clock-regulation and length-measurement, then this contradiction doesn't appear to be justified.
That Ehrenfest took the Lorentzian standpoint in his argumentation is concluded by me from ...
I allude e.g. to the work of Lewis and Tolman[2], who especially emphasized the radical difference in the views of Lorentz and Einstein. There one can also see, by which considerations the stationary observer is forced to assume the contraction of the moving rod. But he remains conscious, that this contraction is so to speak only a psychological, not a physical fact, i.e., that the body experienced no change in reality.
He refers to this 1909 paper, which mostly treats Lorentz and Einstein as having the same theory but adds:
When Lorentz first advanced the idea that an electron, or in fact any moving body, is shortened in the line of its motion, he pictured a real distortion of the body in consequence of a real motion through a stationary ether, and his theory has aroused considerable discussion as to the nature of the forces which would be necessary to produce such a deformation. The point of view first advanced by Einstein, which we have here adopted, is radically different. Absolute motion has no significance. Imagine an electron and a number of observers moving in different directions with respect to it. To each observer, naïvely considering himself to be at rest, the electron will appear shortened in a different direction and by a different amount; but the physical condition of the electron obviously does not depend upon the state of mind of the observers.
Although these changes in the units of space and time appear in a certain sense psychological, we adopt them rather than abandon completely the fundamental conceptions of space, time, and velocity, upon which the science of physics now rests. At present there appears no other alternative.
While this might seem like a deep insight on how Einstein had a superior understanding, Einstein denied that there was any such difference:
The author unjustifiably stated a difference of Lorentz's view and that of mine concerning the physical facts. The question as to whether length contraction really exists or not is misleading. It doesn't "really" exist, in so far as it doesn't exist for a comoving observer; though it "really" exists, i.e. in such a way that it could be demonstrated in principle by physical means by a non-comoving observer.[20]
Lewis, Tolman, and Varicak are making a legitimate point about how the FitzGerald length contraction can be interpreted, and how such an interpretation could be different from Lorentz's. But their interpretation cannot be attributed to Einstein, as you can see from his denial. Einstein's interpretation was the same as Lorentz's, and Einstein's papers never drew the distinction described in the above papers.
Calling the length contraction "psychological" is not the best term, but what these papers are saying is that the contraction is a property of the coordinates being used on spacetime, and not of the physical object. That view was presented by Poincare in 1905 and Minkowski in 1908, but Einstein still did not seem to understand or accept it in 1911.

Amor Towles to lead second CLSC Roundtable of Week Four with discussion of ‘A Gentleman in Moscow’
by Emma Francois on July 18, 2018 1.55K views
When readers of A Gentleman in Moscow enter the glamorous Metropol Hotel alongside the protagonist, they are not, like the book’s hero, in exile. Rather, they are escaping to a world of sleight of hands and connoisseurs, a paradoxical world of lavishness amid the upheaval of 20th-century Russia.
In his first visit to Chautauqua, Amor Towles will deliver his Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle Roundtable on A Gentleman in Moscow at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, July 19, in the Hall of Philosophy.
Towles bases his novels on a simple idea.
In A Gentleman in Moscow, Towles said the idea was this: “Man gets trapped in hotel for 30 years in Russia.”
Over the next year and a half, Towles imagined the ornaments that would decorate his pages: the intricacies of the Metropol Hotel, the characters from the maître d’hôtel to the florist, and the imprints of Russian history — real and embroidered.
“I have a very rich understanding of the book before I actually start writing chapter one,” Towles said.
A Gentleman in Moscow captures 30 years of Count Alexander Ilyich Rostov’s life exiled within the walls of the luxurious Metropol Hotel in Moscow — a sympathetic punishment from the Bolsheviks. The Count explores the hidden corners of the hotel, from a secret boiler room for burning illicit love letters to the ballroom for testing the laws of physics.
The Count soon discovers the surprisingly intricate life the historic building offers.
He befriends a variety of characters, including young Nina (thanks to his intimate knowledge of princesses) and the American diplomat (thanks to his equally intimate knowledge of vodka).
Atom Atkinson, director of literary arts, said the novel provides an “unexpected” lens into the week’s theme, “Russia and the West.”
“You see a lot of the relationship between Russia and the West play out inside not just the book, but inside the confines of this person’s life inside this hotel, whether it’s through his … imaginings of the lives of the people he loves in places like Paris or his love of (Humphrey) Bogart,” Atkinson said.
Beyond allusions to “Casablanca,” Atkinson said the book also speaks to “Russia and the West” on a structural level, as Towles is an American writing a tale of Russia’s past.
They said the novel becomes a portrait of a person both excluded from and immersed in the center of a Russian cultural moment. The Count is ambidextrous in this sense, both an insider and outsider to Russian history, perhaps similar to some Western audiences beyond the fictitious pages.
“One thing that Amor Towles does extremely well in this book is allow some of the Count’s sensibilities and attention to detail to live inside the sentence itself,” Atkinson said.
For example, the Count’s appreciation for tradition and awareness of social intricacies — even for something as seemingly minor as seating arrangement — have “tremendous impacts” on the novel’s plot and even history itself, according to Atkinson.
The artfully orchestrated sentences, what Atkinson calls “extraordinary writing,” convene to create the book’s overall structure, which forms the shape of a diamond. The chapters progress and regress on a doubling principle, mirroring the walls of the Metropol, waxing and waning with the inevitable epoch.
“In the time that Nina had been in the hotel, the walls had not grown inward, they had grown outward, expanding in scope and intricacy,” Towles writes in the book. “If she lived there long enough, it would encompass all of Russia.”
Just as the Count’s world inside the Metropol widens with time, Towles’ knowledge of the mechanics and mirages of the Metropol deepened with writing. As he wrote, characters spontaneously divulged backstories; settings confessed embellishments.
Towles described his writing process through one scene in which the Count and his friends Emile, the chef, and Andrey, maître d’ of the Boyarsky, prepare bouillabaisse.
“I’ve decided it would be interesting to have the Count and the kitchen staff … come together to cook something as a way of referencing the shortages in Soviet era, and also the importance that a meal can play in the bond, the forming of a friendship, of memories,” Towles said.
Starting with this sketch, he let the idea marinate, filling in the gaps with the particulars, such as the appropriate dish.
He realized bouillabaisse, the traditional Provençal fish stew, which calls for the “springing together” of sparse ingredients from saffron to seafood, was the perfect centerpiece to this expression of camaraderie.
From there, Towles visualized the scene, the friends and the ingredients.
“And then in the course of writing it, part of the pleasure is the imagining processes,” he said. “There are things that I discover along the way. I know there are oranges in the recipe, so I know there are oranges in the kitchen. I know Andrey has gone to get them, and I know I decided at a certain point they are going to talk about what they did when they were younger.”
Having already established Andrey’s theatrical hands, elegantly pointing to wine lists and masterfully straightening silverware, Towles suddenly realized, as Andrey picks up an orange, that he was, of course, a juggler.
After Andrey astonishes his friends with a circus act of oranges, the Count is, naturally, compelled to test his skills with a gambit.
To everyone’s surprise, including Towles, Andrey juggles Emile’s trusty chef’s blade.
Then, one prying character storms through the kitchen doors and catches the three friends in their indulgent moment of bouillabaisse and legerdemain.
“That kind of comes to a surprise to me, too,” Towles said. “That was not planned from the beginning … (but) would add to the comedy of the scene and the excitement of the event.”

Seldom Family press/blurbs (2015-2017)
“Speedway” video review by Trevor Elkin (www.GoldFlakePaint.co.uk), 2015
Taking the lead from Philadephia’s Seldom Family, we will exercise uncharacteristic restraint, tone down the metaphors and simply say their new track, ‘Speedway’, is splendid.
It’s not that we don’t want to tell you all about their atmospheric, stripped down sound. No, we just get the impression that the duo prefer zero fuss. For Seldom Family use silence as an instrument of its own, adding even more ambient tension to an already emotionally heavy backdrop. The accompanying video unfolds purposefully, through superimposed images, but its story remains a mystery entrapping us in a repeating loop of cause and effect. A slowcore ballad with shades of 90s grunge in its palette, ‘Speedway’ gradually gathers pace then plunges into oblivion, with only a faint, lingering echo as proof it was ever there.
Ok, so we couldn’t restrain ourselves after all. When a band pulls off the longest dramatic pause we’ve encountered in a long while, it says more about their songwriting ability than any words can muster. Listen/watch and get ready for the drop.
Speedway video review by Joel @ Syffal.com (2015)
So this isn’t an Abercrombie model shooting his own version of a Twin Peaks type sex tape. Get that out of your heads people.
We have no idea who Seldom Family is, but the reverby vocals over dat crisp ass guitar is making me stare out the window to watch the squirrels nutfuck themselves before the first frost. Even if I understood what the lyrics were singing, I wouldn’t care, because this shit is just fucking relaxing ass awesome balls. When music makes you pay attention to not being able to pay attention, it’s got brotential.
Also, there’s really good whistling in this shit, and I think an album by these assholes might actually help me sleep when I can’t turn me brain off.
SELDOM FAMILY BROS, MAKE MORE MUSIC.
“Heaven Won’t” single review by John Vettese for WXPN’s The Key (2017)
SELDOM FAMILY is the studio project of singer-guitarist Patrick Norris and all-the-other-instruments utility guy Chris Caulder, Seldom Family released its latest standalone single on January 10th, 2017. The jangley melancholy echoes The Go-Betweens as much as the tentatively optimistic melodies lean heavily Toad the Wet Sprocket. Those are two comparisons that, for the most part, are only relevant to people of a certain age (eg. olds like me). The album art of the band’s back-catalog seems to be mostly monochromatic photographs, giving a very Smiths / Belle and Sebastian visual aesthetic — if that helps. But the music will nonetheless resonate even if you don’t pick up on the reference cues. “Heaven Won’t” is an emotional and contemplative track, lyrically meditating on isolation, loneliness and desire, a character promising that as much as they’ve changed, they’re still the same — and as they repeat “cross my heart,” you don’t entirely believe them.

Tentative Plans press (2017)
Still EP Review by Megan Cooper (WXPN’s The Key)
Local indie dream-pop duo, Tentative Plans, were brought together through the fateful forces of Craigslist to become a band and debut an EP last summer. Now, the angelic outfit, comprised of Cait Kellagher and Chris Caulder, have released their sophomore EP titled, still.
When I say that this EP is angelic, I’m not kidding or using that term lightly. Kellagher’s clear, bright vocals are so dang calming and ethereal, it’s unreal. Everything about this six track release is clean and precise, from the vocals to production quality, to the thoughtful and purposeful use of instrumentation.
“getting out alive” opens the EP with ambient vibes, with following track “not the same” shifting between soft piano melodies and beats buzzing with electricity. The EP’s namesake, “still,” is the poppiest of the bunch, with layered vocals adding an expansive, atmospheric element atop a foundation of electro beats, while soothing ballad,”here” fades out the EP on a pleading, yet hopeful, note.
Now go ahead and be swept away in a cloud of calm wonderfulness by listening to Tentative Plans’ EP, still.
Still EP review by Francesca @ DigitalWheatPaste.com
Full disclosure: As a person in a two-person band, I have a deep love and appreciation for other two-person bands. That being said, this is a gorgeous EP, well thought out, delicate, roomy, dreamy.
Singer/keyboardist Cait Kellagher is precise and genuine in her vocal delivery, and the way her voice is accented with backing vocal tracks (check out “disappear”) keeps these songs flowing and ephemeral. Guitarist Chris Caulder (who runs Ousted Records in the Philly area) punctuates Kellagher’s keys with lovely guitar lines that float along nicely and add some interest and depth.
This is also clearly recorded and mastered very well–the whole thing sounds nice and clean, and everything is leveled beautifully. You can tell this band works well together and has a clear vision for what they want to accomplish and create.
Listen to this alone and daydreaming in your bedroom if you like dreamy indie-pop like Azure Ray, The Album Leaf, Memoryhouse, etc.
Still EP review by Gerard Longo of Lehigh Valley Underground
Musically, “Still” has a dreamy, ambient quality dominated by cool keyboard tones, tender guitar work, and the soothing vocals of frontwoman Cait Kellagher. The guitar picking on “The Borderline” provides a nice complement to Kellagher’s melancholy over time apart from a loved one, and makes the song an intriguing candidate for a stripped-down, acoustic version. Dynamically speaking, closing track “Here” takes the cake with its powerful instrumental arrangement that provides depth to its swelling, sweet, and simple chorus.
Beauty’s Confusion blurbs (2004-2005)
“I enjoyed the music a great deal. The songs are well-produced, poignant, creative, original, perfectly blended and arranged, and most importantly, inspiring.”
– Britt Nichols, NVUS Films, Inc.
“When you get right down to it, Beauty’s Confusion’s debut ‘Breathe In’ is a sublime collection of sex-havin’ music for the wireless generation.”
– Adam Blyweiss / Y100rocks.com, 2005
“At last! A good band from Florida!”
– Amazon.com review
“Solid, inspiring songs & production. Music that American radio should be playing in 2003, instead of all that whiny punk and macho bullheaded rock.”
– Kelly Elizabeth / Pretty Ugly Magazine, Australia
“I feel like Beauty’s Confusion is made for the closing scene/credits of a film – the music sounds so perfect for that.”
– Kevin Patrick, Musashi Films/POP Films (Atlanta, GA)
“The style and influence of BC will for sure please to the fans of cold trip-pop a-la Portishead and early Hooverphonic. I think that their sound lays somewhere in the midst of these aforementioned fiants. A band to keep an eye on!”
– Side-Line.com review, 2005
