Despite a succession of dire decisions designed to engineer their own downfall, Saracens ended 2012 with a victory born of exceptional fortune. Stephen Myler lined up a penalty with time elapsed to secure a win that would have hauled Northampton back into the top four.
It was wide out on the left and close to halfway, but Myler's bold strike looked to be a winner – until it nicked the underside of the bar and bounced out for Saracens to belt the ball dead. If lessons really are learnt in sport, Saracens will benefit from this finale.
Their attempted self-destruct began by conceding a dumb penalty when driving for the enemy zone four minutes from time. This was followed by rushing upfield too soon after regaining possession, then kicking ball directly to the opposition and finally, despite an obvious blunder by the referee J P Doyle who missed that the ball was actually out of a ruck, kicking the ball away by way of dissent and giving up 10 metres to enable Myler's kick.
"A game we could have won, a game we should have won, but teams today are very close and very competitive," admitted Northampton's rugby director, Jim Mallinder. "There were times in the last 15 minutes when we could have cleared our lines better, but there were two or three key decisions by the referee also. I think some of them were wrong, but if I'm wrong on review, I'll say so. All we ask is consistency.
"You also have to credit Saracens who do not score many tries, but who are smart and know how to win games and we need to work on that."
The Saracens rugby director, Mark McCall, said: "We were pretty good for the first 25 minutes and built an 11-0 lead that could have been bigger. But then we got a bit excited and let things slip. I also believe we could have put away a couple of other chances, perhaps tried to play a bit too much rugby, but then you have to credit Northampton's defence. Games at this level are so often decided by small margins."
The fact that Saracens are contesting English and European rugby's premier prizes is astonishing, given that this was their sixth "home" venue of the season while awaiting residence in their new north London home at Copthall Stadium, Mill Hill.
The Saracens squad have made nonsense of the belief that playing at home somehow intensifies your chances of being victorious. This tends to be true when "home" guarantees a reasonable home support, something Saracens only ever achieve when away at the likes of Twickenham, Wembley, or as proved the case in October, Brussels.
Other homes from home were Bedford, Stadium MK and, of course, Vicarage Road, from where they've been aching to escape since 1997.
Yesterday's 20,000 sell-out in Milton Keynes means just two more trips to Vicarage Road before Saracens settle in at the newly titled Allianz Stadium (German insurance firm and sponsors), and it looks increasingly likely that the return to London roots will coincide with another title tilt as they now have six home games from 10.
On the field, these clubs have developed a fierce rivalry in contesting big games, and both boast of powerhouse packs. So it was very sobering for Saints to discover that their forwards were coming second in contact from the very beginning.
With seven minutes elapsed, Saracens won a line-out and converted it into a rampaging maul effortlessly. as the South Africa World Cup-winning captain John Smit was driven over for his first Premiership try. Hodgson missed the conversion, but made amends with two penalties in the following eight minutes, the first awarded after another line-out and another driving maul forced Northampton captain Hartley to bring it down.
The first quarter belonged to the "hosts", so it was crucial that Saints made some dents in the opposition half, and they ignited their large support with a fine score on 24 minutes.
When the ball emerged from the back of a Saints scrum, Dominic Waldouck targeted Hodgson's channel and barrelled through him before offloading to Ken Pisi. When Lee Dickson whipped the ball left from the resultant ruck, Phil Dowson beat off two unimpressive tackles to score. Myler added the conversion.
Hodgson's penalty attempts four and 10 minutes into the second half were both ambitious – wide right/left and close to halfway – but both were just beyond his impressive range and faded below the posts at the last few feet. Sandwiched in between, Myler completed a splendid Saints fightback later when arrowing home a penalty after Vunipola collapsed a scrum on 48 minutes.
You have to wonder about the modern obsession with replacements when you see Saracens remove Mako Vunipola and replace him with Rhys Gill, who promptly conceded two scrum penalties. The second, on 58 minutes, was fired home by Myler from just over halfway.
With Hodgson feeling a bit off kicking-colour, the duties switched to Owen Farrell, who delivered with a penalty in the 61st minute as the game see-sawed in gripping fashion.
Saints did well to survive a driving maul as Saracens coughed up possession while driving for the line. But their next decision was bonkers, trying to run ball up the middle in front of their posts and against a set Saracens defence. The inevitable penalty was hoofed home by Farrell, restoring the lead for Saracens and sealing victory.

A Comprehensive Sinrex Pill Review
If you have problems getting or sustaining an erection, or if your libido is lower than you would like it to be, consider trying the all-natural supplement called Sinrex® (Red). It provides an excellent solution for men who suffer from mild to moderate erectile dysfunction or who suffer from "low T syndrome", where the testosterone levels are too low to sustain a healthy libido.
Almost every man has suffered from the embarrassment of not getting a good erection. Getting and sustaining an erection depends on having good nerve function to the penis, healthy circulation to the penis and a great libido or sex drive. Men can have erectile dysfunction because they have damaged nerves from diabetes or other nerve-related illnesses and this can impact the ability to send signals to the penis to get an erection. Men with heart and blood vessel disease can have blockages of the arteries supplying the penis so that it cannot get erect when you want it to. You can even have psychological reasons behind not being confident enough to gain an erection that lasts.
These problems can completely eliminate the ability to have an erection or can allow for an erection that doesn't last long enough to complete the act of sex. Some of the problem is a lack of nitric oxide, which is necessary to relax smooth muscle, allowing for blood to flow into the penis. Other things, like the level of testosterone in the body, depend on this hormone to create a mindset for having sex. There are prescription medications for erectile dysfunction and others that raise testosterone levels in men, but these can be very expensive and have side effects you wouldn't want.
Sinrex® (Red) is an excellent all-natural male enhancement supplement that works both angles of getting and sustaining anerection. It contains natural plant-based herbs that act as a 2 in 1 product to help you get an erection and have an excellent libido. Different herbs work on raising nitric oxide levels, while others raise testosterone levels. The product is completely natural and is formulated in such a way as to have no toxic substances or pharmaceutical products in it. It even contains nutrients that protect your overall health. The volume of your ejaculate is greater with Sinrex® (Red), so your orgasms are better.
Sinrex® (Red) contains several important herbs and nutrients. These include the following:
- Bioperine. This is an herb that provides for better absorption of the other healthful ingredients in Sinrex®. This gives you fast results when you really need to have an erection.
- Copper chelate. This is a nutrient that prevents buildup of fatty plaques in the heart and penis, along with other crucial blood vessels. In this way, it acts as a mineral supplement to aid in overall male health.
- Creatine. This is a natural organic acid that gives energy to your nerve cells and to the muscles of the body. It is frequently found in supplements for body builders.
- Cuscutta. This ingredient improves the quality of erections and acts as a strong antioxidant, fighting against bad oxygen free radicals in the body. It also is used in other ailments for men or women.
- Ginkgo. This natural herbal ingredient directly treats impotence by acting on the blood flow to the penis.
- Green tea. This is used in traditional Chinese medicine to increase your energy level and has the added benefit of burning fat.
- Epunedum sagitum. This is a natural aphrodisiac that allows for a good male libido and an increase in sexual pleasure. Erections come more naturally with this herbal remedy.
- Hawthorne berries. This is an herbal supplement that supports the blood vessels and creates an atmosphere of less nervous tension around having an erection.
- L Arginine. This is an important amino acid involved in the making of nitric oxide. You need nitric oxide to relax smooth muscle in attaining a strong erection.
- Maca. This root balances the hormones so that you have an increase in testosterone and a secondary increase in the volume of sperm. It also acts as a fertility aid.
- Omega 3 fatty acids. These are essential fatty acids that come from fish oil. You need it for overall health as well as for increasing sperm count.
- Saw Palmetto. This enhances the secretions made by the prostate gland so you have a better orgasm.
These and other ingredients make Sinrex® (Red) a potent aphrodisiac and erection enhancer. It is superior to many other remedies and prescription benefits because it is free of side effects and is a poly-herbal product that addresses all aspects of male sexual health. It is also the only male enhancement product that contains helpful antioxidants to fight cancer and heart disease.
Sinrex® (Red) has been sold by the millions over the years with many men reporting its effectiveness in getting and sustaining an erection, male stamina in the bedroom and elsewhere, and in protecting overall men's health. Men simply feel better and more virile on this supplement and have sent the company many positive testimonials. Its ingredients come from all over the world and many are endorsed by practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This product has so much potential, it has been featured on TV BBC, in Maxim Magazine and on ABC.
There are many benefits to taking Sinrex® (Red). It raises nitric oxide levels, which is a key ingredient in getting an erection and it raises testosterone, another key ingredient in getting and sustaining an erection. It is a poly-herbal remedy that can be taken every day like a vitamin so that you can engage in sexual activity whenever and however often you want. It also contains nutrients for overall stamina and men's overall health, including benefits for the nerves and the cardiovascular system. There is no need to rely on multiple different supplements for male enhancement because this product contains all that is necessary for good sexual and physical health for men.
There are many pros and a couple of cons to taking Sinrex®. First of all, it is a supplement that contains many different healthful ingredients, eliminating the need to buy other male enhancement pills. It helps a man's overall health using nutrients necessary for stamina and cardiovascular health. It raises testosterone, which by itself helps men attain and sustain an erection. Male libido is enhanced with this supplement, making it an all-around great male supplement for sexual health. The only real con is that it cannot be purchased at your local pharmacy but requires you to access its site through the internet. Once this is accomplished, you can buy a year's supply at a time or just a few bottles to see how it works toward your own sexual health. The cost of the product is about $40 a month—not a large price to pay for better sexual abilities any time you want it.
When you purchase Sinrex® (Red), there are several other offers you can choose from. Your paid order comes with two "Better Sex Guide" DVDs, each worth almost $40. The DVDs can show you how to better your performance in the bedroom. There is also a Seductive Sex Position DVD designed to put you in the mood for sex. You'll be able to have free access to a DVD that helps you enhance the size of your penis. The company is also very generous in providing you with a $50 gift card you can use for your next purchase of Sinrex® (Red). Besides the herbal product, the gift card can be used for the purchase of the site's many sexual enhancement accessories. Orders over $199 offer free shipping.
The product comes with a money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the product after trying it for 6 months. This guarantee is provided whenever you order at least a 3 months' supply and doesn't include the costs of shipping and handling. This way, you can feel confident that, during your risk free period, you can prove to yourself that the product really works!

Congress Passes 10-Month SGR Fix
MedPageToday, 2012
The House of Representative voted 293-132 Friday morning to pass the bill, and the Senate passed it by a 60-36 vote less than an hour later.
The compromise -- which also provides a year-long payroll tax cut extension and an extension of unemployment benefits -- would hold Medicare payment rates to doctors steady at 2011 rates through this year.
Without legislative action, a 27.4% reduction in Medicare payments was scheduled to kick in on March 1.
The price tag on the "doc fix" is close to $18 billion and will be paid for by cutting other areas of the budget, including certain provisions in the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
That includes taking $5 billion from a $15 billion fund designed to pay for programs to prevent chronic disease over the next decade.
The compromise bill also cuts more than $4 billion in Medicaid disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payments, which are meant to compensate teaching hospitals for treating many of the sickest patients in the medical system.
The rest of the money to pay for the SGR fix would come from cutting payments to clinical laboratories and from reducing the amount Medicare pays hospitals for bad debt.
The bill also extends current payment rates for a number of programs, including ambulance services, but extra payments for bone density scans and for certain mental health services will be eliminated.
Doctor's groups were relieved the 27% cut wouldn't go into effect, but called the bill a missed opportunity to permanently repeal the SGR.
Last month, the AMA and 109 other medical groups suggested using savings from cost projections for the war in Iraq to fund the SGR fix.

While Jennifer Aniston makes a giant leap to the land of the raunchy in the upcoming comedy, "Horrible Bosses," there is a lot more star power than that in the film -- and it's time to take a look at some of the other big names involved.
Actually, the film really stars Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis and Jason Bateman as three friends who hate their evil employers -- Aniston, Colin Farrell and Kevin Spacey, respectively. With the help of one Mothaf*cker Jones, played by Jamie Foxx, the three set out to fire their bosses -- from the face of the earth.
Yes, that means kill them.

Chapter 3 : The Reading of the Manual
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 2
Background: Font color:
I felt disoriented. I felt… older. More mature. Different somehow. I imagine Sleeping Beauty felt this way after waking up after her… nap. Yes, I could certainly be the next Sleeping Beauty. Except I still didn't have a prince giving me a good morning kiss. Not that I was expecting for much to change after my transformation from normal-boring Lily to magical-famous Lily. Actually, forget that. I did. Not that I've had much of a chance to really "change". Where was I, anyway?
It wasn't every day that you found Lily Potter prostrated on the ground next to her brother Albus, his best mate Hunter Green and two other students. Not to mention Professor McKinley. Usually, Lily Potter was the one standing on top of someone else who was prostrated on the ground. And most certainly, Lily Potter was never prostrated on the ground next to her brother. But, you know, people change. And perhaps, that would be for the best when it came to Lily Potter.
"Hey, Potter!" I yelled out, trying to catch her attention, "No, not you!"
Stupid Al. I could always talk to him at home.
Lily groaned as she lifted her head out of the dirt. Half her face was covered with muck, and it slowly oozed down her neck and down her top.
"So, Potter… Interesting spot you've chosen for a nap."
She started to wipe off her face with her sleeve and I thought I heard her say something about a sleeping beauty.
"What? Today I'm not even worthy of a reply? I see how it is…"
Lily, the girl who fucked up. Lily, the girl who doesn't deserve to be here. Lily… the girl who was muttering under her breath.
"For fucks sake, couldn't they at least provide a manual or something?"
McKinley, the spineless worm of a professor, cringed at her words.
"Keep it down, won't you?"
Since when did Lily Potter, the rebel child, associate herself with professors? Must be another stupid scheme of hers. Involving her brother and his friends this time, was she? No consideration for their future…
I glanced over at the scene, trying to put to sense the assortment of characters. Whatever. I'd find out later today anyway. She could never keep from boasting about her most recent escapade for more than a couple hours.
As I started to turn back to the castle, Lily Potter stood up and straightened her robes.
She looked me in the eye for a long time. Suddenly she asked me the question.
"Are you… Dominique Weasley?"
"No, I'm fucking Scorpius Malfoy, what d'you think?!"
She muttered to herself again, "Great, I get to be in the middle of a family drama too."
Dom and Lily were at it again. Those two girls couldn't last through a minute of peace, could they? And then Lily always expected me to set things straight again.
Why do I always agree to do it, again? Oh right, because I love her. Bright, spunky Lily – the girl who was never afraid to stand up to herself. The girl who depended on me. The girl who would never love me back, simply because we've been friends too long.
Although, I have to admit, it's not every day that you see Lily next to her brother, let alone in the same general area as him. I still don't really understand the whole Potter-Weasley family dynamic, and I've been friends with Lily since, well… forever. I'm guessing no one knows, at this point. I know I've given up on ever understanding.
But enough about that, I need to get Lily out of that environment as quickly as possible before anything else blows up. She's already missing quidditch practice today from yesterday's escapade. You know, this is a lot, even for Lily. Usually she gives it at least a week before her antics start up again.
"Lils, come on, let's go to the Library. Pince hasn't seen either of us for a while; maybe she's forgotten your prank by now. Dom, see you in Potions."
Dom just rolled her eyes and stomped off. Typical Dom.
"Um, thanks... I think I'm gonna stay here for a bit. I need to talk to my friends. Um, I'll catch you later?"
What was up with Lily today?
I pull her aside and start talking through my teeth.
"Are you sure? You know you can never last longer than five minutes next to your brother. And since when are Hufflepuffs and Slytherins your friends?"
Without warning she ripped her hand from my grasp and glared at me.
"As much as I appreciate your… help, I'm sure I know how to handle myself, thank you very much. And there is nothing wrong with Hufflepuff or Slytherin."
What? Where did that come from?
"Lils, you know I'm just trying to protect you…"
"You're a dick."
This was going a bit far, even for Lily.
She groaned and dropped her head in her hands.
"Lils, are you okay? What's wrong? You know you can tell me…"
Albus stood up and started walking towards us. He came up to Lily and grasped her shoulders.
"Look, now's not the best time. Lily, our friends, and I have to talk. Could you give us some space?"
Fuck this, this was going too far even for Lily. It's like she wasn't even Lily anymore. I knew she's been changing the past couple months, but this? This wasn't the Lily I knew.
"Alright. Fine! Lils, you better explain all… this later."
I gesture at the scene playing out in front of me. Then, I proceeded to stomp off like a five year old who didn't get their sweets.
Who cares?
"Lily, what's up with you today?"
As her brother, I have the responsibility of making sure she was okay.
"I don't know. It's like… I feel different. I feel… I feel like… The Lily from this world was a very different Lily than the Lily from our world. Than me. And I also feel like our personalities are mixing. I would have never lost it like that back home."
"Lily, it's okay. I'm sure you're probably just stressed. It's not like the machine could have changed you as a person. You just need to get used to it. We'll be fine. Now come on, we need to talk with the rest of them."
Lily looked up at me and then reached forward and hugged me tightly.
"Al? You know I love you, right? You're the best brother – ever."
"Thanks, Lils," I smile, "You too. You're the best little sister a brother could ever ask for."
We start making our way towards the others.
"You know, it's going to be weird when we meet James."
I sling my hand over her shoulder.
"How about we worry about that when we get to it?"
Hello. My name is Gavin.
Well, at least I still remember my name. And I don't feel dead. At least I hope I'm not dead - it would be quite awkward if I was. After all, being an atheist, I'd have a lot of explaining to do if this turned out to be heaven. Hopefully. I mean, it certainly doesn't look like hell.
Lily's over there arguing with some bloke.
I pinch myself.
Lily's still over there arguing with some bloke.
Okay, I'm certainly not dead. And that bloody hurt.
Since when do I say "bloody"?!
"Mr. McKinley?"
And an English accent? Hell, I would have had the girls back home hanging off my new self. Just my luck to get an English accent only after I'm sent to some magical book world in Britain. Where everyone is British. And everyone has a English accent."
"Gavin, it's 'professor'. You can't be so obvious about it."
"What, you'll give me lunch detention?"
"No, I'll make you go into the forest for detention. This, in my opinion, is much worse than lunch detention."
"Damn. Forgot that was legal in magical Britain. Isn't that like child labor though?"
"Gavin! Mr. McKinley! Lily and I need to talk to all of you."
Albus and Lily finally decided to rejoin us.
"It's professor!"
And it starts again…
"Sorry. Professor. But we need to decide what to do next."
McKinley cleared his throat, "Well, Lily asked about a handbook. The business men actually did give me one. They explained it to me, but I haven't had time to look through it after that."
Lily perked up and half yelled, "Well, what are we waiting for?"
McKinley's eyes widened, "Shhhhh!"
Lily rolled her eyes, "Oh shut up, no one's going to hear."
"I know this whole experience has brought us closer together than just student-teacher, but I am still your teacher."
"Professor. Student-professor."
Albus smirked. Finally, he found something I said funny. Achievement unlocked.
Lily rolled her eyes again, "Not happening. Just give it here."
McKinley gave up and reached for his pocket.
"Is there something you want to know in particular?"
"Yes. Who was that boy who talked to me?"
McKinley nodded and started flipping through the book and muttering.
"Characters… yes, characters… okay, blue eyes… his eyes were blue, right?"
This continued on for about a minute.
"Is the manual magical or something?"
It's like Lily read my mind.
McKinley glanced up from the book, "What? Oh… I suppose so… It wasn't back at the school… I suppose so…"
"What?! Let me look at it!"
Leave it to Lily to get excited over magic.
I grin, "You know, we need to be at least a little bit less conspicuous. I think that blonde girl thought something was up. Who was she, anyway?"
Lily rolled her eyes for the third time, "After blonde bimbos already, are we? That was Dominique Weasley. I don't know what was up with her. She seemed kind of bitchy."
"Found him!"
"Where?!" Lily yelped as she lunged towards McKinley.
"His name is Blake Wood. Gryffindor. Apparently, he's the son of Oliver Wood and unknown. He's very clever – he got six O's on his OWLS, and he's liked Lily since second year. That's all it says."
"He's liked me since second year?"
"Not you. Lily Potter from the magical world."
"We're practically the same person."
McKinley shook his head, "I wouldn't say that. The manual has a bit about all of the old us too. Here. Lily Luna Potter, Gryffindor, daughter of Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley. She has the record of most detentions in her year. She's gone out with… like a dozen guys. It goes on."
"What? Let me see."
Lily paled as she read on.
"I hate my brother? Why would I hate Al?"
Hunter suddenly shook his head.
"Give me the manual. I need to see if the bastards lied."
He flipped through the book and stopped as he reached the page titled "Hunter Green". He scanned the page, until he reached what he was looking for, and then he froze in shock.
Albus sensed the tension, "So?"
"I'm the best quidditch chaser in the whole school. I've been asked to be on several teams after I leave school."
"Well, isn't that great?!"
"No! It isn't! They said I'd play basketball. I don't know how to play quidditch!"
"I'm sure it's similar…"
"No, it's bloody not!"
"Come one, chasers are almost like offence in basketball!"
Hunter through the manual at Albus.
Cher was still sitting in the background. She seemed so cool and indifferent to it all.
"Cher, would you like to look at the manual?"
Well, I tried. I can't force her to talk to us.
"Well, then I'm going to look at it. Could you find Gavin Black please?"
Albus listed through a couple pages until he found what I asked for.
"Gavin Black. Hufflepuff. Son of Andromeda Black and Sirius Black. Illegitimate--"
And then Albus burst out laughing.
"Fuck you."
Not that I really meant it. That was pretty funny.
"Now can I actually hear what's written?"
"Fine, fine. Gavin Black. Hufflepuff. Son of unknown and unknown. Grandson of Alphard Black. Four O's on your OWLS… boring… boring… Oh, apparently you're loved by most of the female population of Hogwarts."
Lily snorts, "That's a surprise."
"You're in a sarcastic mood today, Lily," I say before sticking out my tongue at her.
"Okay, now it's my turn. And then we can do Mr. McKinley."
"Just give up."
Albus finds his name and starts reading aloud.
"Albus Potter. Gryffindor. Son of Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley. Scored seven O's on the OWLS. Head Boy. Perfect track record… I am such a boring person. No wonder the old Lily hated me so much. I must have been a total bore. Okay, time for McKinley. What's your first name?"
"Peter. And you'll find me under the professor category, I think."
"Found you! Peter McKinley. Muggleborn. Hogwarts Potions Professor. Hufflepuff Head of House. Left school in 2021. Wow, we're in the future now, aren't we? Anyway, you used to be a Hufflepuff. You got perfect NEWTS and OWLS. Single. Apparently, you nip down to the local pub with all the other professors the first Saturday of every month. We need to keep that in mind for pranking…"
"That's enough. I think we should head up to the school. The business men said that they tried sending messages through the machine to the Head Master. We need to go talk to him. Let's go."
We all stood up and whipped ourselves as clean as possible. It was show time for the six of us. And, not to mention, we were starting to attract some odd looks.
So, how d'you like it? Is there anyone whose point of view you'd like to see more of next chapter?

Note, 1. Those that are elevated God delights to abase, and commonly does it in the course of his providence: The proud, that magnify themselves, bid defiance to the God above them and trample on all about them, are such as God resists and will destroy, not them only, but their houses, which they are proud of and are confident of the continuance and perpetuity of. Pride is the ruin of multitudes. 2. Those that are dejected God delights to support, and often does it remarkably: He will establish the border of the poor widow, which proud injurious men break in upon, and which the poor widow is not herself able to defend and make good. It is the honour of God to protect the weak and appear for those that are oppressed.

Maplewood– Maplewood, Teepee Records 2004
Canyon rock, though not dark and sandy a la Howe Gelb/Giant Sand, nor reverberating the Sonorant mariachi and trumpet call of Calexico. Maplewood's desert is more aligned with casino lights and guilty pop pleasure. I can't claim to be familiar with many of their press-release-touted influences, save for Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young and a passing acquaintance with America and The Byrds. On first listen to the self-titled LP, I expected the lyrics to be more tongue-in–cheek, to provide balance to the sweet California pop vocals and twanging twelve string guitar. It wasn't until I listened to the promo the old fashioned way (on my antiquated Discman) while on a lunch time stroll through the fallen leaves in central park, did the music click. Somewhere amongst the earthy scent of autumn and the crisp fall air, I let loose the bindings of work and put my thumb on how Maplewood fit in my personal mosaic of music. The sincere vocal emoting, cloying yet honest harmony, and jangle-pop strumming nudged awake a more youthful me.
Imagine yourself at 16- crowded five across in the back seat of a borrowed car, barreling down Ocean Parkway, punch drunk and high on life. Thick with the thrill of escape and heady with adolescent omnipotence, we reveled in music. More often than I'd admit beyond the veil of the internet, we dabbled in CSNY, along-side Simon and Garfunkel, and (embarrassingly enough) The Grateful Dead. In retrospect, it seems this was our way of balancing musical plates- a nice contrast to the mope rock, grunge, and heavy industrial music we devoured as a testament to our righteous youth. When it came time for a high speed sing-along, we wanted bright harmony and buoyant strumming. "Judy Blue Eyes" as opposed to the pain-stricken Cure lyrics we devoted our days to carving into notebooks. Even the most studied cynic amongst us needs to fancy our sweet tooth from time to time.
This is not a release I'd place in every-day rotation- not to its discredit, rather its something that best hits target when you are feeling wistful and reaping the leaves of autumn (while pining to sow the seeds of youth). Maplewood tickles the quiet part that lingers on "classic" rock stations on lengthy road trips and unabashedly sings along to "Uncle John's Band" (though you'd never admit this to friends). Embracing the Beach Boys and Scott Walker, reminiscent of CSNY and the Allmans', the band finds its roots in music mostly ignored by contemporary indie bands.
Maplewood is extremely unique in the context of the musical landscape that is the New York scene. This Brooklyn based band, whose members comprise other respected indie acts (Champale, Koester, Nada Surf, Cub Country), is un-standard as you can get. While the guitar soloing and pop orchestration often reflects outside-the-scene Brooklyn brethren such as The Essex Green and Mendoza Line, Maplewood is even further removed from the borough.
My best attempt at describing their sound in the context of modern indie rock is that Maplewood is most complimentary to a handful of acts on the Merge label. Upon listening, you can hear a little Lambchop, a smattering of The Ladybug Transistor, a taste of The Essex Green. At the same time, there are hints of mid-era R.E.M and the Stones circa "Ruby Tuesday/Wild Horses". On a whole, Maplewood is musically adept. The resonant bass playing is as melodic and soothing as Naomi Yang or the Clientele's James Hornsey. Superman drummer Ira Elliot lends pendulant percussion and Alan Weatherhead (Sparklehorse) adds to the mix on pedal steel. Maplewood's self titled debut was mixed by the stellar Bryce Goggin (Luna, Pavement, Clem Snide) and Geoff Sanoff (Luna, Secret Machines).
"Indian summer's" opening progression seems to echo that Filter song popular in the late '90's (you know…let go my airplane/let go my airplane), then quickly (and thankfully) segs into a Gary Olsen worthy baritone. How many songs are there about Indian summer anyway?- The Doors, Beat Happening (and Luna's cover), Lee Hazelwood, Pedro the Lion, etc have all mused on this quasi-season. There must be something lyrical about late September air. In her beauty mother nature makes us proclaim our love. From one to another/here to discover/Indian summer.
"Darlene" is my favorite track from the release, jangley, harmonic, and evoking that part of pastoral America that prompted Michael Stipe to sing of power line floaters, maps, and legends. Rozzo sings of the California that exists outside of the intersection of "Hollywood and Vine". The following song, "Gemini is On the Way" is drenched with Kurt Wagner- style falsetto and slide guitar and supported with a brightly strummed solo that ties it all together.
"Little Dreamer Girl" paints another picture of the change of seasons and is reminiscent of the pop-orchestration and California dreaming of The Essex Green (particularly "The Late Great Cassiopeia") Sing-song rhyming supports the meandering music; 4am again awake/wish I could give more than I take…5am again asleep, wish I could give more than I keep. The fluid guitar interplay hints to excellent live treatment.
Contrary to its title, "Pocono's" does not call to mind pre-packaged mountain vacations marketed towards the suburban set. Wistful of romance past, the song laments lovers had and lost. Sometimes the harmony is too cloying, like treacle on a sore tooth, but when it is on target it is as perfect as sweet cream dolloped on a tart peach. In this case lush strings and bittersweet lyrics round out the dueling tenor harmonies.
Another album stand out, "Morning Star", has that slow, descending progression oft repeated in rock, this time sporting what may be the albums only plugged-in guitar at the front of the mix. The verses of "Desert Queen" almost insist that you belt "Wild Horses/ wouldn't drag me away" at the chorus. Luckily, Mark Rozzo's voice is without gravel or grit and the song stands on its own (despite its haunting similarity). Oddly enough, this song most honors the desert rock descriptor- you can imagine the tumbling weeds, swinging-door saloons and moonshine tears of the desolate west. "Bright Eyes" is another winner. Sad and pensive, with lyrics and singing that evokes the desert as painted through the eyes of David Lowery. The new tragic figure/falls out of his chair/and rolls around on broken glass bottles/throws insults into the air.
Maplewood will be supporting Luna as they kick off their U.S. tour on October 30 at Maxwell's NJ. They will also warm the stage for dearly departing Luna at the Middle East in Boston on November 5. Their sunny daytime pop should provide a nice contrast to Luna's nighttime dreaminess.Powered by Sidelines

Pricing details are loading…
Paid-via-Atlassian pricing FAQ
- How does server add-on pricing work?
Server products and add-ons are hosted on your servers. Licenses are perpetual and the purchase price include 12 months of maintenance (support and version updates).
You can renew maintenance after 12 months at 50% of the current purchase price. You can upgrade the tier of your host product and add-on licenses at any time. Upgrade prices are calculated based on Atlassian's formula (view example).
If add-on pricing changes after your initial purchase, there's a 60-day grandfathering period during which you can renew based on the old pricing.
- How do I determine my server pricing tier?
For JIRA Server 7.0 or later, the add-on tier should match the maximum tier of the licensed JIRA applications on your instance. For example, if you're running JIRA Software (50 users) and JIRA Service Desk (10 agents) on the same instance, you should purchase the 50-user tier for add-ons.
For versions of JIRA Server prior to 7.0, the add-on tier should match the licensed user tier for JIRA. Even if fewer users want to use the add-on than your JIRA license, the two licenses should match exactly.
- Do you offer academic, community, or open-source licenses?
For server add-ons, purchase and renewal is half-price if you have an academic license for your Atlassian host application. Server add-ons are always free for community and open-source licenses. Cloud add-ons do not have discounted or free licenses.
For more details about qualifying for special licenses, see here.
- Can I extend my free trial?
For server add-ons, you can extend your add-on trial up to 5 times - in other words, for up to six months. Extend your trial by generating a new evaluation license key from Atlassian Marketplace. Click Try it free and you'll be directed to generate a new license. Paste this license key into the add-on listing in UPM from your Atlassian host application, and you're all set.
- How can I buy add-ons for my legacy JIRA Server or Confluence Server license?
If you own a legacy JIRA Server Unlimited (100+ users) or Confluence Server Unlimited (2000+ users) license purchased in 2012 or earlier, legacy add-on pricing is no longer available. You have two options for add-on purchasing:
- Purchase the add-on at the non-legacy Unlimited (10000+ users) tier.
- Renew your JIRA or Confluence license at a non-legacy tier, then purchase the add-on at the same tier.

In addition, Dodge sales increased by 23 percent in May, with the standout Durango clocking a 24-percent year-over-year improvement (with an updated 2014 model in the wings, incentives are thick on the ground for 2013 inventory). Fiat and Jeep were up only a modest one percent, however, and Chrysler brand sales were

Box thought the $53,335, option-filled press loaner had been "flawless – very serious competition for anything built by Ford or Chevy." And then, for reasons that still aren't clear, something in the engine compartment caught fire and the Ram cremated itself on the shoulder of an off-ramp.

While quality eventually improved over the course of the day, just over half of the units built on Thursday were approved for shipment. Even with workers ordered to stay late to fix their mistakes, some 1,078 units remained outside the facility with defects. The

I already gave you an insight into the plants in Jamaica on my overview page, but I had to designate a separate page to elaborate.
The generous tropical climate of the island and its fertile soils are favorable for flourishing of hundreds of Jamaican plants. Luscious, and remarkably diversified vegetation characterize our plant life.
We have a vast number of endemic plants here. So much so that this led to a unique composition in the forest of the Blue Mountains, the John Crow Mountains as well as the Cockpit Country.
Among the indigenous trees are cedar, mahogany, logwood, rosewood, ebony, palmetto palm, coconut palm and pimento (allspice). Introduced varieties, such as the mango, breadfruit, banana and plantain, also flourish here and are widely cultivated. Ferns grow almost everywhere here.
Here is a short listing of some of the marvels of plants in Jamaica.
I will also add the value of plants in Jamaica for medicinal purposes. Although they are not as widely regarded as in older times, many persons (particularly the older rural folks), rely on the plants to treat many ailments.
I can tell you my great grandmother who parented me (if she was still alive) would be happy to share all the what, how, where and when to use special plants for medicine. I recall cerasee, leaf o' life, Rosemary, and Jackanna bush easily as some of those she regularly used!
The general method is to boil the leaves or stems and make a 'tea'. In some cases leaves are used to make a poultice and paste directly on aches and pains.
By the way, The blue lignum vitae is one of the national symbols of Jamaica - It is our national flower! and the Blue Mahoe is Jamaica's National Tree!
Our botanical gardens showcases our beautiful and exotic plants, hearkening back to our rich horticultural heritage. They include Bath Botanic Gardens in St. Thomas, Royal Botanical Gardens (Hope Gardens) and Cinchona, both in St. Andrew and Castleton Gardens in St. Mary.
We also have some smaller, more recently developed gardens that have attracted great attention as a result of their natural splendor. These include Coyaba River Garden, Cranbrook Flower Forest and the Shaw Park Gardens.
And if you love the shows, we feature a number of horticultural and/or agricultural shows yearly!
And just before you go, just wanted to let you know that the Scientifc Research Council of Jamaica provides a very helpful inventory of Jamaican Plant Varieties by tissue culture.Take a Look at them Here, then come back.

Will she or won't she? Susan Boyle, that is. Will she turn up to tonight's final of Britain's Got Talent? Who knows – though let's hope not for the sake of the infinitely more talented saxophonist also in the final – but either way, ITV hasn't had too many weeks like this one for a long time.
Media buyers reckon the combination of nightly helpings of the talent fest and football – ITV screened the Champions League showdown on Wednesday and has the FA Cup Final this afternoon – will have netted the broadcaster £30m or more in sales over the past seven days, an invigorating shot in the arm given the woeful state of the advertising market this year.
Happily, that on-screen outperformance has been mirrored by some good times out of camera shot. Two broker upgrades sent ITV's shares climbing even before yesterday's announcement from the Office of Fair Trading that it believes the terms of the contract rights renewal (CRR) rules should be eased in favour of the broadcaster, a decision for which ITV has been campaigning for the past three years.
Michael Grade, heading towards the exit doors at ITV, hasn't yet got everything he hoped for but the OFT is offering a pretty decent carrot. It will almost certainly be the rollover rights that disappear from next year, if the Competition Commission follows the OFT's advice when it reviews CRR at the end of 2009.
Since this is the rule that allows advertisers to insist on keeping the same preferential terms and rates when spending with ITV, even if they're also cutting their spending because ITV's audience share has slipped, it's a pretty major concession. It basically means ITV can go back to negotiating prices for ad slots on the basis of market rates, without a regulator breathing down its neck.
It's difficult to fault the OFT's view. CRR was constructed in a different world to the one in which broadcasters operates today, to protect advertisers following the merger of Carlton and Granada in 2003. The rapid growth of digital channels since then – which no one foresaw – means ITV simply does not have the dominant position it once enjoyed and its advertisers do not need so much protection.
For ITV, the best case is that CRR is finally resolved to its satisfaction in time for end-of-year negotiations with advertisers about 2010. If so, the fruits of Grade's campaign will ripen for his successor, who may by then also be enjoying the benefits of economic recovery.
As ever with this broadcaster, however, a worry persists. No matter how benign the economic and regulatory environments, ITV has to have product to sell against. The past week has been stellar for viewing figures, but next week's schedule hardly inspires confidence that the long-term decline of ITV audiences can be arrested. Feast to famine is the phrase that comes to mind. There had better be some more promising content on the way.Reuse content

> First of the 10 to bloom, but seems late enough here to avoid late

> held up in your late freezes?
I've had freeze damage once, but still had a lot of bloom. This bunch
would be M-L here. The bigger problem is they are marginally too late
to bloom here and have suffered from the heat. 'Course in a 'normal'
year there is a very small window for optimum bloom. I would guess
they are more likely to miss the late freeze effect provided there
isn't a really long warm spell during the winter. At least I've seen
bloom on them every year since they began blooming the first year
after planting.
They can certainly get leaf spot, but they aren't as quick to get it
and withstand it better than the group the yellow came from. I had
rot once; didn't treat it and couldn't tell there was anything missing
since they have increased well. I may see both leaf spot and rot
after the hail. Right now all the iris foliage is torn, bruised and
generally battered from the hail. A lot of fans are flattened to the
ground and a good many are buried in a 6-8 inch layer of green oak
leaves and twigs. Warm days with some humidity could show me more
things I'd rather not see. There wasn't much leafspot this year, but
when I have a bad year, it's really virulent. I haven't found
anything that really controls it when conditions are right.
That's a good shot of the stalk. I presume the low bloom actually is
on a very low branch? That is something this group does a lot. I
don't know whether that's good branching or not, but I don't mind
since it usually still reaches the top or above the foliage. Would be
hard to cut, though. Often gives the effect of two stalks from the

A team of German kayakers sets off this week in a bid to complete their Bike2Boat journey, cycling across the Alps from Cannes, France to Venice, Italy, stopping to paddle Europe's best whitewater.
Olaf Obsommer, 43, Jens Klatt, 32 and Philip Baues, 30, took to their bikes on Sunday after a 10 day break to attend to admin, wives, girlfriends and to sit out the bad weather.
So far they're 858km into a 2,500km journey but conditions have not been kind. A high level of snow up high meant there has not been enough water in the rivers. Then came the floods that left parts of Europe underwater.
"Mother nature has had different plans to ours," Jens Klatt tells us when we catch up.
"On the first day it was cold and rainy and we had one of those, 'oh my goodness, what are we doing here?' moments," he says.
Riding bikes and pulling trailers that weigh around 50kg, it can sometimes take all day just to cover 50km — or sometimes far less. A week in, they faced a road closure in France at the col de Cayolle.
Faced with a two-day detour if they turned around, the guys carried on, turning their kayaks into sledges, pulling their loads with their bikes strapped on top across the snow, like polar explorers. It took them the whole day just to cover 6km and 500m of height.
"Luckily there was a hut with a winter room," says Jens.
In the first week they got no kayaking in at all. The second week the rivers were high but they were so stoked they went anyway on the river Guil at Chateau Queyras, but avoided the big drops.
But they finally got their paddling fix in the beautiful turquoise waters of the Verzasca, which flows into Lake Maggiore.
"After a week of rain, the sun came out. That was a highlight," says Jens. "It's like a disneyland for kayakers."
For the guys, who are all big players in the paddling scene, the trip is less about setting records or doing something new but more about getting back to paddling's roots, exploring classic rivers leaving no carbon footprint.
"It's about seeing the Alps from a different point of view. There are still so many wild areas," says Jens.
Ahead lies approximately 1,500km of road and hopefully some better whitewater. Jens says he's stoked to set off again.
"I can't wait to get back in the saddle!" he tells us.

Some Day I'll Find YouBy: Richard Madeley (author)eBook
£5.99Buy eBook
DescriptionRichard Madeley's first novel plays beautifully into the heart of commercial fiction, a love story with intrigue and betrayal at its core
James Blackwell is sexy and handsome and a fighter pilot - every girl's dream partner. At least that is what Diana Arnold thinks when her brother first introduces them. Before long they are in love and marry hastily just as war is declared.
Then fate delivers what is the first of its cruel twists: James, the day of their wedding, is shot down over Northern France and killed. Diana is left not only a widow but pregnant with their child.
Ten years later, contentedly remarried, Diana finds herself in the south of France, sitting one morning in a sunny village square. A taxi draws up and she hears the voice of a man speaking English - the unmistakable voice of someone who will set out to torment her and blackmail her and from whom there can be only one means of escape...
