Something you want but you can't have
I was wondering if you have something you really want but you can't have it or don't have enough money to buy it. lol. Like for me, I want this shoe but can't find the right size xD
It doesn't have to be thing. IT can be anything. Like let's say you want this girl meaning you wanna go out with her but you can't cause she's not interested in you or have a bf already. LOL

Today, acting Gov. Kim Guadagno announced the Miss America Pageant would return to Atlantic City in September, with supporters hopeful it will bring a $30 million economic impact along with it.
The pageant was held in Atlantic City until 2006, when it shifted to Las Vegas, and boosters hope its return puts the national spotlight on the work being done in Atlantic City. NJBIZ first reported the possibility of the pageant's return in a State Street blog post Tuesday.
"You can't put a dollar figure on two things. First, the impact to Atlantic City in terms of rebirth, and the impact to the state of New Jersey in terms of rebuilding after Hurricane Sandy," Guadagno said. "It's a great fit on every level."

Intoxicate Diary Day 4: Mellowood and Yorba
We woke up to a cold and rainy morning, grabbed a hot coffee, then got into Grandfather's car to head to Fair Play in the Sierra Foothills for our first winery tour today.
Fair Play, which was awarded AVA status in 2001, is about 140 miles northeast of San Francisco and it took us almost 3 hours to drive there. Situated high in the Sierra Foothills, most of the vines there are planted at 2000–3000ft above sea level, where lots of sunshine and a long growing season typically produce grapes with ripe, bright fruit flavors and balanced acidity. These, in turn, create highly aromatic wines.
As we drove and ascended into the foothills, the outside temperature dropped steeply so that by the time we arrived -- after a much-needed nap along the way! -- it was absolutely freezing. Our first winery stop: Mellowood Vineyard.
Mellowood Vineyard
Upon arrival at Mellowood, we met the Owner, Ms. Linda Neal, who also owns Tierra Roja, our super-premium Cabernet Sauvignon label from the Oakville appellation of Napa Valley.
From Linda, we learned that she bought the land on Mellowood Drive in September 2000, first planted vines there in 2002, and then produced her first wines from those vineyards with the 2008 vintage.
While at Mellowood, we also met John Kraemer, a member of the family that owns one of our other partner wineries, Yorba, which was to be our next visit. John and his family had come to join us for lunch with Linda, which we were excited about since it would be our first full winery lunch ever!
Due to the rain, we did not have the chance to walk around the beautiful vineyard property, but Linda gave us an introduction and tasting of her wines, before leading us to the second floor for our lunch.
Our lunch was created by Mellowood's winery chef, Mr. Geofuni, and specifically designed for pairing with Linda's wines.
Duck breast with sliced apple in Italian dessert wine sauce
Mushroom bread with cream sauce and mushroom salad with olive oil, truffle oil and sliced parmesan cheese
Braised short ribs in Mellowood Syrah -- this is the BEST Short Ribs I've ever had! They were sautéed in vegetable stock, then chicken stock, Syrah, rosemary and other herbs were added and it was braised overnight. (Actually, the preparation is more complicated :P )
Even though we couldn't do our vineyard tour, we had a very good time in Mellowood Vineyard!
After we finished at Mellowood, John led us on a rainy drive to Yorba, which was further south in Amador County. It was less than an hour to get there, and we learned from Grandfather along the way, that Amador had numerous gold mines including the very first: the Sutter Mine. Most of these closed in the late 19th-20th century.
In terms of its wine-growing history, Amador has long been known for Zinfandel and Barbera, but it also has other grapes like Rhone varietals, Sangiovese, and Tempranillo. We've featured several of these at CV.
We've now arrived at our second destination for the day: Yorba!:
Yorba Wines
The Kraemer family farming history under the Yorba brand goes back to 1769, and when they started an orange-growing business in 1913, they continued to use that name. So when they launched their own wine label almost 10 years ago, it only made sense to maintain that tradition.
Today, we were thrilled to meet one of the most respected viticulturists in California: Ann Kraemer, who is a very friendly and passionate person. After years of experience managing vineyards for several prestigious Napa wineries, she and her family acquired the stunning, high-elevation Shake Ridge property in 2003, and she immediately began designing and developing the vineyards. Today, her 46-acres of vines produce fruit that is highly sought after by several highly-acclaimed winemakers from Napa and beyond. Due to the red rocky soils and great fluctuation of day to night temperatures, wines from the property show off deep and dark-hued colors and intense favors and aromas.
After a quick introduction about Yorba Winery and Shake Ridge Vineyard, the rain thankfully stopped so that Ann could give us a very educational lesson on vine pruning.
There are two main pruning techniques used by most vignerons: "Spur Pruning" and "Cane Pruning", and today, we had the chance to try our hand at the latter.
Once a vine reaches two years old, it will generate many more fruiting canes than desired for quality grape production. Thus, to control that growth and concentrate the vine's support on specific canes/grapes, we have to prune the canes before the arrival of Spring. At the same time, in order to ensure ideal sunshine coverage, we have to prune in different directions so the grapes are properly exposed and protected during the growing season.
After about an hour of pruning lessons, the rain returned so we headed to the other side of the vineyard to meet the family members and begin tasting some of the wonderful Yorba wines.
11 members of the Kraemer family were there to greet us, including Ann's father who was a respected orange grower and even exported his fruit to Asia. I learned that the oranges I enjoyed in my youth were actually grown by him so it was certainly an honor to meet him! Mr. Kraemer shared with us much more about the family's history, including the meanings of the symbols on the Yorba label. Ask me any time and I'll be happy to tell you more!
We had a warm and wonderful time with the Kraemer family and enjoyed tasting their wines paired with some cheese and ham.
After finishing our last winery visit for the day, we headed even higher into the Sierra Foothills looking for snow, and finally, we found it!
A fantastic day in yet another unique California wine region!

The Supreme Court is set to release within a few days its much-anticipated rulings on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, the comprehensive health care law enacted two years ago.
The election-year rulings will not only guide how every American receives medical care but will also establish precedent-setting boundaries for how government regulation can affect a range of social areas. Your health and your finances could be on the line.
The outcome's possibilities are myriad: a narrow or sweeping decision? A road map to congressional authority in coming decades? Which bloc of justices, which legal argument will win the day?
Here are five scenarios -- strategic markers of a sort -- to watch as the high court weighs in on health care.
Wait another day?
The first question the high court tackled in its seven-hour marathon argument in March was something few observers had expected: It boiled down to whether the law's individual mandate is a "tax" that could prevent the court from considering the broader constitutional questions.
A little-known federal law -- the Anti-Injunction Act, dating back to 1867-- bars claimants from asking for a refund on a tax until it has been paid.
This "gateway" issue could render moot all the other pending health care questions if the justices think the minimum coverage requirement amounts to a tax.
Most justices seemed reluctant to take that route at the public argument session; they appeared eager to move on and address the broader, more vital constitutional questions. But citing the Anti-Injunction Act might give cautious justices a way out of deciding the explosive issue in an election year.
The majority might conclude that the political branches can best resolve the conflicts, at least for now, or that the matter can be handled after the November elections.

In the sight of a woman, the clothing is easily the key to her wedding. Ladies day fantasy and screen shop for marriage clothes even if they're single. Think about it, it is the one clothing of a ladies life that is absolutely recalled by the woman, bridegroom, visitors, and family. The mounted images and images on the internet put a lot of focus on the clothing and this can feel like a lot of stress for any troubled bride!
Where do you go to discover the best dress? Wedding newspapers and wedding shops are two illustrations of places to begin your search, but the most convenient project begins on the internet. You can Google search by developer, cut and style of clothing, and budget. You can search for and save looks and list out the alternatives you like best. There are actually experts that can individually help you look for the best style for your clothing. Not only are wedding organizers there to help set up the marriage and party, but they can be of prime facilitation to the woman. You can bring your marriage coordinator the outfits that you produced out on the internet or talk about one on one the style, cost, and developer you are looking for. Then they will present you will all the alternatives within arrive at. This is always an excellent option because professional organizers are well linked with everything including marriage ceremony and can guarantee you will have the best clothing for your marriage.
The entire marriage is designed according to the style of the bride's clothing. The bride's service personnel, the bridegroom, and the groomsmen should all be designed to the wedding clothing. You can also look for the rest of the person's clothing on the internet or with the help of a marriage coordinator.
With developer, style, and budget in mind, there are experts that can help look for the best clothing if you need help.

More than 30 years after six-year-old Etan Patz disappeared in New York City on his way to the bus stop, police and federal authorities were tearing apart a Lower Manhattan basement Thursday in search of clues as to what happened to the boy who became the face of missing children in America.
Etan Patz disappeared May 25, 1979, a block from his home in the city's SoHo neighborhood. It was the first time he walked to the bus stop by himself.
Authorities said both new and old information led them to a carpenter and part-time handyman who met Etan the day before he disappeared and gave the boy a dollar.
It was interest in the carpenter that prompted authorities to bring a cadaver dog to a SoHo basement, where Etan apparently encountered the 42-year-old carpenter, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation. The dogs picked up the scent of human remains, the source said.
Late Thursday, authorities set up a grid in the basement and were using jackhammers to rip up the concrete floor. They also took out part of the back wall of the basement, an unoccupied area beneath what was once a restaurant.
"We're looking for human remains, clothing or other personal effects of Etan Patz," New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said of the current investigation. "It's a very painstaking process."
In 2010, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. said his office decided to take another look at the decades-old mystery. FBI leads were then culled from that case file, sources said.
The investigation, which has often been described as a milestone case that helped draw the plight of missing children into the national consciousness, garnered headlines as authorities splashed the child's image on the sides of milk cartons in the hopes of gathering more information.
It's thought to be the first time that step was taken for a missing child.
Etan was officially declared dead in 2001 as part of a civil lawsuit filed by his family against a drifter, Jose Antonio Ramos, a convicted child molester acquainted with Etan's babysitter.

This time of the year you would expect to wear the above look, WITHOUT thinking IF it might be a little too overdressed for this weather, or whether you have to wear a jacket with it… But fact of the matter is, these expectations are way to high. We know by now it is NOT possible to wear the above without a jacket, because YES it is a little too cold for it, and the brights make you feel overdressed. Too bad, cause it is officially summer. So what does one do in this situation? You do as I did yesterday (see here), you pretend it's summer and just go for it!
The dress in this look is one from Stella McCartney and is VERY high on my wish list. I love the mirrored print big time, but I am still not sure whether I should spend this money on a t-shirt/dress. What do you say? The flats in neon yellow are definitely a must-have. Amazing pop of color in EVERY look, and definitely gives you a summer-vibe. And so does this nail polish in denim, did you get this color yet? In line with stacking bracelets, I bring you stacking rings. These cute stars are cute when worn by one, but even cuter when you stack them. Lovely, aren't they? Going ahead with a little posh (good contrast with the t-shirt/dress) I think a (fake) gold watch goes very well on a slightly tanned skin. It screams glamour, but not in a tacky way, especially when worn with the oversized sunnies. I am still looking for a nice new sunglasses for this summer, but I have the feeling this could be the one! A small clutch to carry you phone and keys, not something you can miss out on. Plus, clutches are easy and light carriers, exactly what we want during summer, as we don't want big heavy bags bruising our shoulders!
Keep calm, and keep pretending. I am sure summer is around the corner!

"We feel very strongly we will take it over in the next few hours," rebel fighter Abu Abdallah told CNN.
He and Ayham Khalaf, an eyewitness an activist, said government forces have been shelling the surrounding area -- including firing mortars that fell into Turkey -- from the Tal Abayad camp. If they take it over, the opposition fighter said that its forces will control an area that extends 45 kilometers (28 miles) south of the Turkish border.
That cross-border shelling continued Sunday, with one shell hitting near a Turkish government agriculture office in Akcakale, Turkey, where five Turks were killed four days ago.
Mayor Abdulhakim Ayhan told Turkey's semi-official Anadolu News Agency that Syrians fired the mortar shells from Tal Abyad, with one hitting near the Office of Soil Products.
Witness Salih Aydogan said no one was injured, but the shell fell very close to town. As he spoke with CNN, Turkish military fired two more shells at Syria.
"We heard (the Turkish military) fire back immediately. They retaliated with two shots," said Aydogan. "We just got lucky this time."
Commander claims rebels overrun military checkpoints
The Free Syrian Army captured a battalion leader and took control of three checkpoints in the border town of Badama, deputy commander Col. Malik al Kurdi told CNN Sunday.
Al Kurdi said the rebels stormed a battalion-sized force and only a small group of soldiers remains in the city. Badama is near Syria's border with Turkey but further west than where the shelling occurred, located about 80 kilometers east of the Mediterranean Sea port city of Latakia and about 350 kilometers west of Tal Abyad.
"We pushed them back and captured a lot of them, destroyed a lot of the machinery and the vehicles they were using," he said. One of the soldiers he claimed they captured was the colonel who led the Syrian force.

So here we are, fellow travellers through the last six years of DiS's favourite sounds: part two of Our 66. This section – which collects together the albums we've placed at numbers 44 to 21 – was no easier to assemble than the preceding chapter (click here if you're yet to look over our selections from 66 to 45). In fact, we've suffered more headaches over the last few weeks, because of this undertaking alone, than at any other time in our lives. Perhaps, anyway: we do enjoy the odd pint.
DiS is, as we're sure you're perfectly aware of by now, six years old this very month; to celebrate we've already thrown one hell of a party at Camden's Barfly – the gig was headlined by one of the acts appearing below, no less – and there are further fun and frolics to be had at an assortment of shows about this land and overseas. Yep, next week DiS is off to Reykjavik for the Iceland Airwaves Festival. Oooh, get us. DiS has a stage and everything, which will have its boards trampled by Metric and Love Is All, as well as a slew of excellent local talent. Perhaps we'll see you there.
If not, do please click here to see what shows we have coming up.* The Emmy And Friends* event, at London's Luminaire on October 30, is just one of many gigs where magic is sure to be sprinkled liberally into the air. If you've a ticket for that particular show, prepare to be wowed. DiS is also relocating its* DiScover Club* to Notting Hill Arts Club this month, for a free afternoon show featuring the So Incredible Right Now Blood Red Shoes. They played our Barfly show, too, and were amazing. The bomb drops on October 21 – click here for more details.
Right, enough advertising and on with this particular show. As with the last instalment, you can click on wherever it says 'DiS review here' or 'DiS listing here' to submit your own user review of the album in question, and you can also add the record to your online collection – click here to see what we're on about.
And do, please, DiScuss the below until your fingers are all but worn down to the knuckles.
**Rival Schools
United By Fate** (DiS review here)
(Mercury – released 2001)
I was 15 when this album initially emerged in a cloud of underground hype. Filled with emotionally-charged choruses, massive hooks and an underlying tone of all-out ROCK, it reflected my teenage angst perfectly and at the same time was a musical journey in itself. Perhaps the most surprising thing about United By Fate is the fact that it stands up today as a genuinely superb record and one that I still play at least once a month. *CR*
**The Postal Service
Give Up** (DiS review here)
(Sub Pop – released 2003)
Not obsessing over this record during the last few years would've been like not having the internet. Even Seth Cohen was down with its bleeps and heartstring-tugging lyrics about freckles in a paramour's eyes being perfectly aligned. It's one-fourth of Death Cab For Cutie and that dntel fella: they sent tapes to each other (in the post!), words were put to music and music to words. This record is as culturally important to our generation as anything in this list. *SA*
**Boards Of Canada
Geogaddi** (DiS review here)
(Warp – released 2002)
Warp have released so much innovative music that it's difficult to single out specific albums for praise. Boards Of Canada's second outing is an obvious choice, though. Building on the ambient beauty of their debut, Geogaddi is a claustrophobic, and at times twisted, journey thorough music that gently introduces melodies into its soundscapes and gently pushes the listener through an instrumental narrative before reaching the end of the tunnel. Essential.* CR*
The Unicorns / Islands
Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone / Return To The Sea (DiS review, listing)
(Rough Trade (both) – released 2004, 2006)
Pop is not a dirty word. The genius of* The Unicorns' sole album was how its pop was executed: layers of oblique synthesis, great hooks and an underlying darkness guaranteed it a place in cult indie history. Following their disbanding, two members formed *Islands. _Return To The Sea _was the resulting album, and a greater attention to instrumental detail ensured another triumph. *CR*
**Sonic Youth
Nurse** (DiS review here)
(Geffen – released 2004)
Nurse is the closest to creating a landmark on a parallel with Daydream Nation that Sonic Youth have come since that particular record's release, and in its dense textures it maybe signals the extinction of the antediluvian No Wave idyll; a Robert Zimmerman trip that somehow got mixed up with Joni Mitchell, Black Flag and a conceptualist oddball… it's ART in the way that Rimbaud, Andre Breton, Jim Morrison, Dada and all that screamed in boundless ecstasy intended. *MG*
**Meanwhile Back In Communist Russia
My Elixir: My Poison** (DiS review here)
(Truck – released 2003)
Whilst Emily Gray's posh-voiced Arab Strap-esque sordid monologues separated this John Peel-loved and Oxford-spawned band from those languishing in the post-rock ghetto, the Warp-inspired beats took everything to another level. The album rises up to where the clouds are stained with nicotine and sprinkles of spilt wine - red wine, obviously. My Elixir: My Poison is a pretty-much-perfect art-rock record, and a favourite to this day. *SA*
**Pretty Girls Make Graves
The New Romance** (DiS review here)
(Matador – released 2003)
Pretty Girls Make Graves' second album, following their debut Good Health, was an instant hit with rockers wanting a little pop alongside their abrasive guitar workouts. With backgrounds in the punk scene proper, the members of PGMG were well positioned to appeal to a pair of key audiences: fresh-on-the-block newcomers and those whose wearing of obscure band tees puzzled all but a select few. The New Romance sated these appetites and more. *MD*
**Arcade Fire
Funeral** (DiS review here)
(Rough Trade – released 2005 (UK; 2004 US))
Little could be said here that would accurately summarise the impact Funeral had on the indie world upon its release in 2004/05 (depending on which island you lived on at the time). Still sounding like an incredible achievement when revisited today, and the catalyst for the still-continuing Canadian cult invasion,_ Funeral_ is a luscious festival of music played out by a cast of off-kilter performers and laid down with grace and finesse.* CR*
The Woods** (DiS review here)
(Sub Pop – released 2005)
We could've chosen another Sleater-Kinney record, one that better exhibits the now-defunct trio's MO of playing fiery but accomplished melodic punk with lyrical honesty and soulful sincerity, delivered at breakneck velocity. All Hands... is maybe a more complete album, but The Woods is their parting shot of seriously loud and seriously good fuzz-rock. Dave Fridmann's booming production is a bonus, too. Seriously fantastic. *MD*
**Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies
Hurrah! Another year, surely this one will be better that the last; the inexorable march of progress will lead us all to happiness** (DiS review here)
(Fierce Panda – released 2004)
Significantly more than just a well-titled performance, Hurrah! catapulted Youthmovies into DrownedinSound's collective conscience and registered them as one of our favourite bands. From the noise-upon-noise of 'The Pitch and Yaw of Satellites' _to the near-perfect convulsions of _'...Spooks the Horse', this is a math-jazz-punk-post-rock work of significant magnitude. * CR*
Drum's Not Dead** (DiS review here)
(Mute – released 2006)
Liars have never trodden the straight and narrow. Although their debut album arrived at a time when all things NYC were So Hot Right Now, this third long-player – recorded in Berlin – was a bizarre mutant beast of mesmerising polyrhythms and bombastic percussion, fused to some truly out-there vocals. It's a rare band indeed that can reinvent itself from one release to the next, but this trio's ability to morph and evolve outstrips the abilities of any 'peers'. *MD*
It's A Wonderful Life** (DiS review here)
(Capitol – released 2001)
You could put a thousand of the world's greatest scientists into a room, lock them in there for decades and ask them to create a sound that reminded you of Spring. They wouldn't get anywhere near as close as this record does. It's full of rising joy and spinning tops. It's also chock-full of indie icons doing guest vocals: Polly Jean Harvey, Tom Waits and that angel from The Cardigans all appear. Did I mention it's one of the most beautiful albums of the past six years? *SA*
Milkman** (DiS listing here)
(Kill Rock Stars/ATP – released 2005)
Don't think this wasn't a tough decision: we argued over which album was better, Apple O' or this, the San Franciscan (then) four-piece's surreal adventure through twisted children's bedtime stories and Tim Burton's oddest fruit-based fantasies. Milkman is so weird, from start to finish, that it's easy to overlook the great pop contained within its eleven tracks, songs that twitch and glitch their way into the listener's heart. Brilliant, bizarrely so. *MD*
Wearemonster** (DiS listing here)
(Playhouse – released 2005)
The evolution of microhouse from Isolée's pioneering_ Rest_ LP in 1999 made underground stars of names like Ricardo Villalobos and Michael Mayer. With electronica courting a growing audience of plaudits, 2005 saw Isolée unleash his masterpiece: Wearemonster _. Strangely danceable whilst also being incredibly listenable, this is the defining album of its genre. Sufficiently asphyxiating, yet notably relaxing, Wearemonster _is a standout piece of musical genius. *CR*
**This Aint Vegas
The Night Don Benito Saved My Life** (DiS review here)
(Jealous – released 2005)
While an assortment of their geographical peers have attracted considerably more mainstream acclaim over the past few years, This Aint Vegas, in these ears, remain the north east's finest indie-rockers. Taking cues from their Dischord record collections and tipping the resulting angles and jagged edges into a melting pot with the finest dance floor-friendly beats around, the four-piece's second album - this - became an instant DiS favourite. *MD*
**The Radio Dept
Lesser Matters** (DiS review here)
(XL – released 2004)
Some records become an addiction and hijack your headphones for longer than could be considered sane. I spent almost an entire summer listening repeatedly to Lesser Matters; little else budged it from the stereo. The Swedes adapt the daydream-scapes of My Bloody Valentine, adding uptempo party-in-your-bedroom beats replete with plenty of speaker fuzz. If you missed this but openly heart The Postal Service, you know what to do. * SA*
**Les Savy Fav
Go Forth** (DiS listing here)
(Southern – released 2001)
Do you know how ace Les Savy Fav are? Were you at ATP when vocalist-cum-circus ringmaster Tim Harrington dressed as the friskiest feline that ever tipped a bottle of merlot down its front? Were you in Islington when he rocked his way around the crowd before sticking an attendee's open palm into his leotard? Anyone that's ever seen this Brooklyn four-piece in the (often unclothed) flesh knows they're the absolute knees. And this album is hot. Own it or suck. *MD*
One Time For All Time** (DiS review here)
(Monotreme – released 2005)
After the promise shown in 2004's The Fall Of Math, this release from the Sheffield post-rockers was met with baited breath as it promised to be the antithesis to easy listening. There was elated satisfaction from all fans of the glitch-core quartet as they were presented with expansive swathes of intense Technicolor glory. With the piano-led majesty of 'Radio Protector' closing the record, it leaves you feeling absolutely exhausted every time.* RR*
**The Blood Brothers
Burn, Piano Island, Burn** (DiS review here)
(ArtistDirect – released 2003)
Blessed with the Midas production touch of Ross Robinson, the Seattle quintet toured this record across the UK and wowed all and sundry with their duelling vocals, ultra-spazz jazz and spitting hardcore take on boredom alleviation. This is a masterpiece, filled with gorgeously graphic lyrics and funk 'n' punk in abundance. It's a beautifully chaotic masterpiece that assured us that there was punk-rock life after the death of At The Drive-In. We still love it so. *RR*
**TV On The Radio
Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes** (DiS review here)
(4AD – released 2004)
Those in the know were aware that TV On The Radio were to deliver something exceptional with this 2004 album, but even fans of their self-released OK Calculator debut couldn't have predicted something this magnificent. TVotR's approach to recording and melody paid off magnificently, landing them a celebrity fanbase. Impossible to easily define, Desperate Youth… is avant-garde indie-rock that dips its toes in jazz, trip-hop, electro and_ a cappella_ delights.* CR*
**PJ Harvey
Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea** (DiS review here)
(Island – released 2000)
If the world that didn't have 'C'mon Billy'_ ringing in its ears ever needed fortified proof that Polly Jean Harvey was more than some girl on the gig circuit going through the motions of her record collection, then this was a smack around the chops. It featured smart pop songs that howled and begged even the most unsuspecting passive listener to want more from music. It rightfully scooped the Mercury. *SA*
**The Knife
Silent Shout** (DiS review here)
(Brille – released 2006)
As much as the public perception of electronic music was swinging into the positive and open-minded, the genre still needed an album that crossed over while maintaining an experimental edge to appeal to the hardcore._ Silent Shout_ is that record and significantly more. Oozing rhythmic intensity and doused in squelches and bleeps, the outfit's stony heart was cast aside to reveal an emotional interior contrasting a cold, vocoder-led exterior. An album to savour and share.* CR*
Black Holes And Revelations** (DiS review here)
(WEA – released 2006)
It took until their fourth album for them to successfully do so, but Muse have finally stepped out from the shadow of Radiohead. Previously considered by many to be treading a very similar path to the Oxford quintet, Black Holes… marked them out as real mavericks. It's a superb sci-fi rock-opera with Western overtones – try synchronising it up to Flash Gordon, seriously. Plus, it contains the ridiculously epic 'Knights Of Cydonia', the video for which is here. *MD*
**Broken Social Scene
You Forgot It In People** (DiS listing here)
(Mercury – released 2003)
It's slow-motion waterfalls, whirlpools and log fires. It's adventurous and lush of brass, strings and guitars coasting the Milky Way. It's transcendental; collectivism at its best. It's Metric's Emily Haines stealing your heart from under your shirt and placing it beside you. It's Kevin Drew drinking bourbon stirred with lovers spit from an ornate goblet. It's Feist lounging with Do Make Say Think. It's_ blog_-rock. We like it so much we wanna impregnate it. *SA*
Expect the third part of this countdown at the end of next week, when we'll run from number 20 right down to 11; the week after we'll be dissecting the top ten in no little detail. If you miss it, you miss out, and frankly that'd be stupid. 'Til next time, enjoy and DiScuss…
Words: Sean Adams (SA), Mike Diver (MD), Matthew Gregory (MG), Raziq Rauf (RR), Colin Roberts (CR)
- Post a new comment on this articlean ultra podcast of one track
from each album would make me fill my pants with all manner of secretions
Arcade Fire only at 37?
Glad to see The Radio Dept featuring.
There's some great stuff
on this list. the unicorns, arcade fire, and radio dept all change my life. for the better.
i still do not 'get' the tv on the radio album though.
DiS is 6 drinking game
a shot for every album you own in the list-two shots for every album in it you dont own!
don benito better than hurrah!?"
desperate youth better than cookie mountain!?!?
MBICR anywhere near the chart?!?!?
some quality records
Despite already mentioning 65dos once, Im shill hoping to see the Fall of math in there
One album per act...
...as outlined in the last section. But not here. That's cos I'm rubbish. Soz LOLZ.
I'm surprised Arcade Fire only scraped a 37
and I would put Cookie Mountain above Bloodthirsty Babes.
But good stuff.
Funeral in "only at number 37" shocker!
Oh my!
Seriously though, I'm not sure I can wait another fortnight for the top 10. You should be more like Pitchfork and shut the entire site down for three days just to reveal the list ;-)
i don't really get
cookie mountain at the moment, which is weird, because it's a long time since that happened. surprised to see the youthmovie above arcade fire, and island with unicorns...but most of them are exceptional, justified choices. why the fuck is everyone agreeing??
Muse haha
Other than that good list so far!
Muse at 22?
Sad day :(
Good to see TV On The Radio making it.
Sad how?
Should they be higher?
Glad to see 65dos
in there, as well as Blood Brothers and PJ Harvey. And of course Youthmovies were going to be in there, but I still love them so.
And I finally know which Deerhoof album to get! Huzzah!
Why are they included as one?
That's a little cheating.
I'm agreeing more and more with this list, though YFIIP not being in the top ten, I'm not sure about.
The Most Suprising of All
Is it just me, or is anyone else surprised that all these records came out after 2000? I kind of feel that everything I buy becomes part of my collection a little while after purchase and I can never remember when stuff came out after that.
top 66 of the last 6 years
You know my thoughts on the Muse album. In all honesty, I still think Absolution is a superior release. But "Black Holes.." beating Arcade Fire? Craaazy.
Burn, Piano Island, Burn! :D
Sonic Youth and
Sleater Kinney are great bands, but those albums are just plain poor. Sorry, but it is true.
The Woods
is the best record by the best band ever in the history of mankind. It hould be number one.
Otheriwse there are no bad records here, just a shame you got number one so badly wrong.
no fuckin cookie mountain?
thats bullshit.
im guessin Hidden Cameras wont be on this list then either, or My Morning Jacket's 'Z', my two picks of the last six years.
you've turned into a real cunt recently. and you're wrong.
sean hates them. hence their relatively low position.
i'm still holding out for
Fuck With Fire
but i think that's a false hope...
Good to see Rival Schools in there, and of course 65dos.
costly obsession
I can't wait for the final installment, but my bank balance can..! ;-)
There's plenty there I should buy/investigate.
I'm still holding out for my favourite though, which is "As The Roots Undo" by Circle Takes the Square. I'm not optimistic, but perhaps I can still see The Paper Chase and Cursive. Or Bear vs Shark.....or even Million Dead.
Million Dead's A Song To Ruin got 5 Ks in Kerrang you know. Oh yes.
good to see meanwhile back in communist russia up there... i think its a great album :)
i think he was saying
that he thought the records were maybe older, but is surprised that theyre only 6 years old
z is gonna have to be in there
its so good.
Pj harvey
excellent to see her in there. But why did DiS rubbish her? who the hell is amy bell [end]? six/ten, not even close!
I own three whole records off this list, that beats my 0 from the last one. However, obviously due to the wonders of technology I have bits of the most of the good ones on my pooter already.
Good to see Unicorns and Deerhoof in there. Two that were on the shortlist for my choices. Needless to say I think Muse and The Radio Dept are dogshit, and Rival Schools are generic to the point of boredom, but y'know, each to their own and all that.
i own 13
you are so anti-dis
it's ok
i mean, it's ok guys, you don't have to be seen to "like" 65days of static to look cool on the DiS boards, it's ok to say that they are what they are: powermetal chords over clumsy electronic beats.
every single one
of your last ten message board posts listed on your profile are mindbendingly negative.
you must lead an awfully lonely existence.
Love it
You did contribute to the list, though, so it's not exactly a shocker.
the unicorns and islands count as two I have 14. Sweet.
you clearly have no idea
what power metal is.
Do 65dos really have guitars like Helloween?
Since when were 65dos cool anyway? is this a new thing? am i cool now? wicked!
The simple fact that
the Radio Dept feature on this list at all makes me happy
Good work
I like them
but I still LOLed at Stealthy asking "Is it wrong to think of the Arcade Fire as a band of filthy gypsy buskers who wouldn't know a tune if came at them in a brightly lit room grasping a record contract wrapped around a baseball bat whilst reciting the text of one of their 10/10 reviews from Pitchfork?"
he's right
65daysofstatic = power metal!
Is there really
a genre called "power metal"?
And if so WHAT are the best 66 albums in it??!
Enquiring minds want to buy.
I think I might be the only person...
who doesn't understand the world's fascination with Sonic Youth. Seriously.
Can someone please explain to me why they are hailed as such geniuses? You can go 'indie snob' and pretend that I'm mildly retarded if it makes the explanation easier.
surely three shots for every album you don't own but have an illegal MP3 copy of? :D
Well given it's only stuff from the last 6 years
that's probably the best Sonic Youth album of the last 14 years...
Well I guess you either like them or you don't
They're still making exciting records after 25 years, though, even if Rather Ripped is a little tame compared to their other output.
To be honest, given you have ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead in your list of likes, and given their best album, Madonna, is pretty much a Sonic Youth tribute album, I'm a bit surprised you don't like them.
What albums have you heard. It's worth checking out a few from every 5 years or so. Maybe check Sister, Daydream Nation, Dirty, A Thousand Leaves and Rather Ripped? A fair selection.
bad emo mixed with amateur electronica.
It sounds
nice. But it is dumbed down for indie kids to like.
isn't the order?
random apart from the top 10? so arcade fire could be number 11 or number 66?
murray street slays!

Planning, Financing and Procurement
As the global immunization community advocates implementation of new and more expensive vaccines, the burden on national budgets to sustain the cost of these new vaccines is increasing. The goal of reaching more children with newer vaccines has resulted in increases not only to cover increased vaccine costs, but also for the additional investment required in the immunization delivery systems. Given constraints on national budgets, cost-effectiveness analyses help to determine the value for money of immunization programmes compared to alternative investments in health.
In the past, the global immunization community's efforts in vaccine introduction have prioritized assistance to the poorest countries, in particular the 72 countries eligible for financial and programme assistance from the GAVI Alliance. However, middle income countries also need access to the same new vaccines and are increasingly facing important financial constraints and barriers to procure products on the international market, and additional focus on introducing new vaccines in middle-income countries is required to rectify this disparity.
The financial challenge presented by the long-term use of new vaccines has been a strong incentive to strengthen national capacities in financial planning for immunization in a health systems context. Policies that promote co-financing will help countries to recognize and begin to address the financial challenges of introducing these vaccines and thus guarantee their affordability in the long-term. Since 2006, WHO, UNICEF and GAVI have promoted the use of comprehensive multi-year planning as a mechanism to systematically address the main strategic approaches for efficient immunization programme delivery and appropriate financial planning.
WHO and partners also provide technical expertise to countries to assure that adequate quantities of high quality and affordable vaccines are purchased by countries to meet national immunization needs and to increase capacity building within countries to improve vaccine provision through strategies directed towards sustainable financing and procurement.
Pooled procurement is potentially one of the strategies to make vaccines more affordable to a group of countries jointly procuring vaccines and medical products and technologies. Immunization partners are supporting countries in the EMR and AFR region with options to develop pooled procurement mechanisms.

New Zealand Tours
- Rotorua Region
- Tongariro National Park
- Milford Sound
- Franz Josef Glacier
- Abel Tasman National Park
New Zealand is an adventure sports junkie's dream. The Tolkien-worthy landscape seems tailor made for adrenaline, and the country that invented bungee jumping takes their adventure seriously. A magical landscape of wild snow-capped mountains, shining lakes and roaring rivers serves as a giant playground filled with world class 'tramping,' skiing and rafting. When you're done, marvel at the thermal wonders of Rotorua, or set out in search of whales and dolphins. While there may be more sheep than people, the friendly English-speaking kiwis will make you wish there were more of them.
New Zealand—The Bay of Islands (ONBI)
Nature lovers who leave the North Island without stopping in at the Bay of Islands will kick themselves all the way back home (and that's a looooong flight). This 4-day trip to this outdoorsman's paradise features ample time hiking the nature trails and makes the most of all that water with plenty of opportunities for swimming, snorkelling, kayaking and sailing. Not enough? A night aboard a houseboat should do the trick. We take care of all the fuss. All you have to do is have the time of your life.
Highlights: Walking amongst giant kauri trees, spending the night anchored in a secluded bay, fishing like the locals, savouring a traditional barbecue in Paihia town
New Zealand—South Island Encompassed (ONSE)
Looking to tackle a bundle of different environments all in one go? New Zealand's South Island has what you need and then some. Action is the common thread throughout this trip that incorporates hiking, kayaking, biking, glacier treks and even bungee jumping across a variety of landscapes, including rainforests, glaciers and some of the most gorgeous coastline you'll ever see. This trip is exciting even when you're not moving; accommodations include an authentic bush camp and a wilderness lodge deep in the rainforest itself. Unique? You bet.
Highlights: Explore the trails of Abel Tasman National Park by foot, hike the Franz Josef Glacier Valley, get an adrenaline rush in Queenstown, weave through the remote fiords of the Doubtful Sound by sea kayak, bike while stopping to taste local wine.
New Zealand - North Island Encompassed (ONNE)
New Zealand's North Island thoroughly engages the body and the spirit, often at the same time. This 10-day trip promises loads of both. Up here, you'll learn Maori culture (and try your hand at bone-carving) straight from the source while bunking in villages in the bush and pick up some sustainable living tips on a conservation farm. Elsewhere, you'll sea kayak in a secluded harbour, get a surfing lesson from an expert and camp out in a retro-style caravan. There's much more, but we've gotta leave some surprises, right?
Highlights: Snorkelling in the beautiful Bay of Islands, surfing world famous waves, kayaking remote coves to discover hidden beaches, learning about the Maori culture in a village homestay, conquering New Zealand's top-rated 1-day trek, dancing the night away in Wellington.
New Zealand in Style (ONIS)
An all-encompassing yet comfortable journey through New Zealand that delivers the highlights of the region with stye to spare. Utilizing a diverse range of transport—trains, gondolas, boats—you'll explore artsy beach towns, learn about local myths, legends and traditional cuisine from the Maori and revel in the breathtaking beauty of New Zealand. Handpicked accommodations and upgraded transportation are standard fare on this decidedly non-standard adventure. This trip offers everything you could possibly want... and then some.
Highlights: Learning about Maori myths and traditions, Trekking an active volcano for spectacular views, Experiencing the geothermal area of Rotorua, Gliding along the TranzAlpine railway, Taking in the views of Queenstown from a gondola, Cruising through the Doubtful Sound searching for wildlife.

New Zealand Encompassed (ONNZ)
It dosen't look so big on the map, but New Zealand is positively massive once you're there in person. This comprehensive 24-day trip—our longest in this part of the world—delivers the most immersive NZ experience possible. Get close to the land by exploring volcanoes, national parks, sustainable farms, and meet the water up-close on expert-led kayak excursions and during surf lessons. Best of all, you'll get to explore the magnificent Bay of Islands, home to some of the world's top fishing. 24 days? You'll wish it was longer.
Highlights: Learning about the Maori culture, exploring the Bay of Islands, conquering New Zealand's top-rated 1-day trek—the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, hiking Franz Josef Glacier, getting an adrenaline rush in Queenstown, weaving through the remote fjords of the Doubtful Sound by sea kayak, discovering Abel Tasman National Park by foot.

New Zealand—Best of the North Island (ONNI)
Admittedly, we haven't checked the numbers too closely, but we're confident that New Zealand ranks among the world's leading producers of excitement. This quick trip across the North Island jams as many thrills as permissible by law into seven electrifying, activity-packed days. Sea kayak remote waterways to secluded caves and beaches, learn to surf New Zealand's world famous waves, experience Maori culture directly from the Maori themselves and more, all in a breezy week that always feels full and never feels hurried.
Highlights: Surfing world famous waves, kayaking remote coves to discover hidden beaches, discovering a historic Maori village with a local guide, conquering New Zealand's top-rated 1-day trek, dancing the night away in Wellington.
Best of New Zealand (ONNS)
Compared with their enormous western neighbour, the islands of New Zealand don't look especially big on the map, but don't let their small stature deceive you. There is much, much, much to do here, be it biking to old gold mining sites, kayaking remote coves and some of the most breathtaking hiking routes in the whole world. But if you're short on travel dollars, fear not; this trip squeezes in the very best of both the North and South islands into an affordable, action-packed 21-day itinerary that moves swiftly without ever seeming rushed.
Highlights: Learning about the Maori culture, conquering New Zealand's top-rated 1-day trek—the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, hiking Franz Josef Glacier, getting an adrenaline rush in Queenstown, weaving through the remote fjords of the Doubtful Sound by sea kayak, discovering Abel Tasman National Park by foot

Taiye Selasi: "Ghana Must Go"
Critics say 32-year-old author Taiye Selasi is one of the most exciting new writers. Part Ghanian and part Nigerian, Selasi was raised in London and educated in the United States. This biography is reflected in her new book which spans the globe from Accra, Ghana, to London to New York. It's the story of a successful African immigrant family living in Boston. They seem to be fulfilling the American dream until the father, a surgeon, inexplicably leaves. This sets into motion an unraveling family that's repaired only by a reunion following their father's untimely death. Taiye Selasi joins Diane to discuss her first novel, "Ghana Must Go."

Taige, after "superbugs," I'm especially eager to read GHANA MUST GO. I'm encouraged by your GRANTA across the pond story since I have a MSS rejected by too numerous to count. Enjoy the journey . . . on the "write" track.
I'm so glad I tuned in! I am buying the book right now! Can't wait to read it.
Hi- I am originally from Ethiopia. I have a degree from my country in Computer Science which is accredited to equivalent to US degree. And I have a job but would like to achieve the American Dream. I know somehow somewhere I am going to achieve it. That is why I fled a country of war in late 90's. But it disappoints me when most of Americans think that just because I have an accent don't think that I am smart or can do the job. But gladly I know where I come from and where I am going to. But sadly that is the reality for a lot of people coming from another countries. Easily judged by their accent and their skin color.
I also have had the experience of intuitive knowing on a number of occasions, my brother and my sister have the same ability. There's a psychologist who is doing some documentation on the subject, I just sent her all the experiences that I can recall.
A rare opportunity to meet a young woman of substance and such grand significance, reminiscent of a similarly brilliant woman possessed of the same rich humor and humility, Flora Sussely. The time spent with Diane and Taiye was a moment in heaven. Such a delightful soul and how lucky we are to have been able to spend some time basking in her glow. Thank you, Diane. Thank you, Taiye, from one twin to another. I cant recall a more splendid hour than the one spent with you today. How much richer we all are for your contribution.

Productinfo: black sesame = 3 times more calcium
I see there is not yet a thread about black sesameseed.
It has 3 times more calcium than white sesame
Black sesame seed is a very good tonic herb. It builds Yin Jing, and therefore it is a longevity herb. In addition to its essence-building capacity, Black Sesame also builds blood. It acts in much the same way as Polygonum. Black sesame seed is moistening to the intestines and helps move the bowels. It prevents and relieves constipation due to dryness of the intestines. Black sesame seed is extremely rich in calcium, containing 85 milligrams per gram of seeds. It is also high in protein, phosphorous, iron and magnesium.
