Producer Adam Pierce of Bubblecore/Mice Parade fame adds his distinctive arrangements to the skeletal songs of Meredith Godreau.
The press notes helpfully point out that Meredith Godreau chose the name Gregory and the Hawk to "avoid her being perceived or pigeonholed as a female singer-songwriter." Never mind the fact that she is without a doubt female and without a doubt a singer-songwriter, and a "female singer-songwriter" in the generic neo-genre sense at that. Not only will no one be fooled by the fake band name, now she's also saddled with a twee moniker that brings to mind children's books and assorted Wes Anderson-isms.
The name of Gregory and the Hawk's second album, Moenie and Kitchi, adds images of kittens into the mix, or perhaps Japanese cartoon characters. But no need to complicate things with hypotheticals. At heart Gregory and the Hawk is still singer-songwriter Meredith Godreau, and the disc offers things that might be expected of such a title, such as quiet acoustic guitar and earnestly and innocently cooed vocals.
Yet Moenie and Kitchi does have an x-factor working in its favor, and that's producer and multi-instrumentalist Adam Pierce, of Mice Parade fame. Supposedly, many of Godreau's vocals and guitars were recorded in the same take. If they'd stopped there, the album would be pretty dire indeed. Fortunately, Godreau has no qualms with adorning her skeletal songs with a little meat. The loose drums and buzzing strings of "Oats We Sow" gives the otherwise off-the-rack track a slight tinge of unpredictability. A similarly just slightly left-of-center approach helps "Doubtful" escape a descent into third-rate Kate Bush, especially when the sub-sonic bass rumbles and amorphous guitar kicks in. "Ghost" even comes close to actually rocking, and the horns are a nice touch, too.
Unfortunately, the songs are awfully ephemeral. Godreau's crystalline voice is remarkable, and it's often mixed high, as if there were any way to miss it. And there's no doubt that she has a way with curiously unresolved melodies. But there's a limitation to her voice all the same, which never wanders too far from the same range or timbre. That leaves a song such as the aptly titled "Voice Like a Bell" almost invisibly pretty. It's up to the subtle idiosyncrasies of the production and arrangements-- the swell of ambient noise that ends "Super Legend", say, or the percussive electric guitar that propels "Harmless"-- to coax the disc out of coffee-house purgatory. But it never quite tips the balance.

Considering a kitchen remodel for your home? Before you go any further, check out the hottest trends for kitchens now. From the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) 2011 trend survey and from local trends, here are some things to consider.
Cabinetry Shake Up. Traditional shaker style doors are a big trend around Chicagoland and nationwide. Shaker doors represent a middle ground between sleek modern kitchens and the ornate excess of faux-Tuscan. They are a perfect backdrop for the soft transitional look that is also very popular and current.
King Maple. Cherry and maple are still the hot leaders in wood species, with maple overtaking cherry by a slight lead in recent months, due most likely to the popularity of clean white kitchens, with maple used for the painted substrate. Dark ebony and espresso finishes on cherry are also a growing trend. Locally we are seeing dark woods used as accents rather than throughout the whole space. A white kitchen with dark espresso island is a very popular request.
Hardware Makes a Statement. In years past, cabinetry hardware at best was a complement to the style of the kitchen be it Tuscan, French Country or Arts and Crafts. At its worst it was an underwhelming afterthought. Well, hardware has arrived! Statement making, simple architectural nickel & chrome pulls are gaining in popularity and add a stylish element of glamour to the trendy transitional look.
Countertops Stay the Course. Granite and quartz continue to be the most requested countertop materials. Butcher block has seen a rise in sales, and marble made a big jump nationwide, especially white marbles such as Calcutta & Carrera. New sealant technology, though not perfect, makes owning this product in the kitchen slightly more practical. In our area, most homeowners are still asking for hardworking materials that do not require a lot of care or special handling.
Appliances Meet the Need. As floor plans become more open to surrounding rooms, appliances are becoming increasingly concealed. French door refrigerators and double wall ovens are hot, while cook top units are overtaking ranges in popularity. Induction technology uses magnetic fields to create heat and is on the rise. This technology gives you the control and intensity of a gas cooktop and the easy care of a glass surface.
Extra, Extra! Some extras that are trending in popularity are the continued interest in roll out drawers, wine storage for both function and decorative possibility. Having a spot for both trash and recyclables in the kitchen is also a hot topic – trash and recycling pullouts, garbage disposals and trash compactors are all on the rise.
The Softer Side of Tile. Tile shows its softer side this year with simple mosaic-type designs in ceramic and glass that branch out into other areas of the kitchen beyond the backsplash for seamless looks that create flow. Simple, color blocked areas of tile create textural interest to the overall space.
Light It Up. Lighting options continue to evolve. Consumers are interested in energy-efficient technology such as LED, but at least for the Midwest, cost and function still have a ways to go before catching up to incandescent technologies. Expect the regulation of incandescent lighting to shake things up in the near future.
Overall, the trends appear to reflect the times with many people choosing a kitchen with a warm yet modern look that fits into their lifestyle of healthy living, family togetherness and simple entertaining.

Great Albums You May Have Missed: Hasu Patel's Gayaki Sitar (1996)
When thou commandest me to sing,
It seems that my heart would break with pride;
And I look to thy face,
And tears come to my eyes.
Hasu Patel's collection of traditional ragas for sitar are little invitations to the world, invitations to reflect on the deepest concept known to humankind: The Divine — the nature of which we acknowledge, from our various traditions, exists somewhere beyond thought and imagination. They are exquisite examples of the evocative, inviting qualities of this tradition and this instrument. Played in a style that is lesser known in the west than others (which alone gives this collection real distinction), the mood she summons will just consume you! I still recall the first time I put on Gayaki Sitar (Preview here); I was sitting in my cubicle, in the library; surrounded by a sea of other cubicles; then suddenly, I was transported to the center of the universe, or realized I was there already; a cosmic deer trapped in God's headlights: stunned.
Now lovers of traditional Indian music, as well as genuine sitar players, must feel some fatigue from the frequency with which a discussion of the sitar in the west so often seems to start with George Harrison. This record has a skip in it, no? But cross-cultural influences and exposures do often have a starting point; and the reason this starting point is so revealing is that, although it popularized sitar in the west, it limited our exposure as well.
And so we know, it was 1965. George Harrison picked up a sitar off the set of "Help!" and played it on the Beatles song "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)." Providing a wonderfully exotic flourish to the song, it was the first rock record to use the sitar; and it set off a veritable craze in western rock music for the instrument.
Soon after that recording, Ravi Shankar invited George Harrison to India to study the instrument first-hand with an undisputed master. My completely unsubstantiated hunch is that Shankar heard Harrison's playing on the song and humbly thought, "Uh, yea, why don't you come on over to India so we can make sure you know that the sitar is not so much a weird guitar with exotic twanginess, but very much its own thing, with its own voice, technique... and purpose... and some first-hand exposure to real players may help you better appreciate that."
So George Harrison went to India to hang out with Ravi Shankar. And it did seem, rather quickly, that Harrison got pretty serious about learning the sitar, and even its spiritual implications. Compare, for instance, the transcendental allusions (or lack thereof) of "Norwegian Wood" to "Love You To," "Tomorrow Never Knows," or "Within You Without You" recorded only a year or two after. So I don't mean to dismiss this yearning of a western musician to understand; I think it should count for something. And onward from this point, the transcendental sounds of India would grow to become such an integral part of the hippy movement that it is hard to think of "psychedelic" music existing without them.
Indian musical influence had arrived in the west in a big way, and Ravi Shankar had become its unofficial ambassador. Though hardly unknown before, Shankar's association with the Beatles skyrocketed him to international fame: playing sold-out tours around the world, the Monterey Pop Festival, and then Woodstock; to new fans prepped, albeit largely through psychedelic drugs, to fully appreciate the transcendental sounds of the Indian raga; and its invitation, in fact, to a deeper, or higher, realm of reality. How perfect is that for the hippies at Woodstock? Even Canned Heat, a straight-up, English blues band who would play what many considered the anthem of Woodstock, "On The Road Again," incorporated the Tampura, for its drony, psychedelic (and by association, therefore, "transcendental") edge. And this influence 'flowered' out into what would become known more generally as Raga Rock (the pinnacle of which I suggest to be Shocking Blue's "Hot Sand").
All this is great; Indian music had developed with such independence from western influences that it could not have sounded more unique and "exotic" to our ears: its instruments are different, it develops music in very different ways, has a much more varied tonal structure, and perhaps most importantly, approaches music with a spiritual respect rarely if ever matched in the west, certainly in pop or rock music. These overtly spiritual yearnings were compelling, and were welcomed by many in late '60s America. And though this deep and traditional respect in approach was bound to get a little unhinged when incorporated into rock, it seemed to work rather well. It became a cool and interesting way to add a little exoticism to the mix (did I already mention "Hot Sand"?)
But equally true is, how the sitar came to western pop culture also limited our ears and our experience rather than expanded them. The vast difference in western pop culture and traditional Indian culture is neatly highlighted by the hippy movement's use of LSD and its accompanying psychedelic experience, and the Indian, life-long practice of transcendental meditation. In many ways, the terms psychedelic and transcendental are synonymous; but the one term is fed through western pop cultural sensibilities and the other descended down from a centuries-old religious tradition. On a basic level they allude to the same thing, but from dramatically different cultural groundings. Am I stating the obvious?
Both have similar intentions; both share elements and goals and, dare I say, even results (to a limited degree). But one is done from a 'pop' state of mind, more akin, perhaps, to a rowdy teenager doing a cannonball off the highdive, accompanying him or herself with a scream of "let's do this!" The other, approached very slowly over a lifetime of serious dedication, with the utmost respect, more like slipping more calmly into a lake, at its shore, to experience the water without disturbing it. And when one approaches the transcendental in this way, one is simply more prepared, more aware of those goals, and more equipped to recognize the experience for what it was meant to be, communion with the Divine Presence, oneness with the universe: transcendence. For those hippies at Woodstock, I'll bet they got there too; but it was sloppy, less disciplined and informed by a lifetime of focusing the mind; and when they "came down," they were as sweaty, muddy, hungry and tired, as everybody else, as worldly as when they started. Well, probably not quite; those who attended Woodstock will pardon my oversimplification to prove a point. Because all that is to say, I love Harrison's sitar flourishes, I love Canned Heat, Raga Rock, and even doing an occasional cannonball off the highdive. And I really have little experience with these more traditional concepts of which I speak, outside of what this recording so beautifully insists is beyond dispute: that is, there is much more to it than that. I don't mean to overstep, but isn't it obvious that such a long and solemn tradition would get diluted when adopted by a culture that idolizes having a good time over everything else? So if you've ever enjoyed sitar, in any setting, why not ask yourself why it exists? It began as a poetic way of pointing to God. A recording like Gayaki Sitar seems to remind us that this cultural dialogue is a beautiful thing, but let's not co-opt eachother's traditions so entirely into our own that we forget their original, deeper, purpose and meaning.
But more interesting still is, with Ravi Shankar catapulted to the international stage via his association with the Beatles, and therefore western popular music in general, other great masters and playing styles of the sitar got eclipsed. And this is really what we are here to remedy.
There was another great master of the sitar in India, one who played in a completely different style and tradition than Shankar. His name was Ustad Vilayat Khan Sahib. He too spent a lifetime focusing on the purpose of inspiring a mood of devotion and surrender through his playing. He even redesigned the sitar to fill it with a deeper resonance; and he honed a beautifully distinctive style of playing, known as Gayaki Ang (literally, 'vocal style'), which aims at playing the sitar as if one were singing through it. It is an amazing approach, and one that even non-connoisseurs of the instrument can quickly recognize upon hearing.
Hasu Patel studied under the great Vilayat Khan starting as a young girl, and her collection of ragas offers a beautiful example of Gayaki Ang style. It was (and is) not at all common for a master sitar player to choose a girl as a student, but the master must have sensed something very special in young Hasu. And here, decades later, we can sense it too.
Another noticeably different approach in these ragas is her use of the Alap. The Alap traditionally begins as a slow and meditative improvised introduction to the raga, before the rhythms of the tabla join in. Here, there is no tabla, only an acoompanying drone on the tampura. Hasu simply stays with Alap for the entirety, which gives the music a more heavily improvised orientation, and an increased reflective quality. And this is really what her incredible style of playing does best; while on many sitar recordings the tabla adds a new dimension, here it would only distract.
What is most remarkable, and I don't say this lightly, but something here very powerfully indicates something more than itself. This music is merely a window: its real purpose is not to call attention to itself, but to invite you to look through it. I have never heard that indicated more powerfully, more undeniably, than on this recording. This is what separates this album from the piles of other CDs that litter my desk, something the very laws of physics insist is impossible: That something can in fact be more than it is. The sound clearly indicates this, and immediately renders the listener speechless.
Beyond her recording for solo sitar, Hasu has written two wonderful concerti for sitar and orchestra. Tabla fans can be comforted that, unlike her solo recording, there are some wonderful tabla rhythms incorporated here. Her concerti bring together elements of Indian and western music, and, In my opinion, they are the best attempts at this hybrid. Yet they are still not as widely known as they should be.
Ravi Shankar famously attempted to bring together the sitar and the concerto a few times. His were admirable attempts; but by retaining the recognizable structure of the concerto, the potential of the sitar to invoke, its raison d'être, seemed to be limited by this imposition.
Hasu does something with the music in her concerti that I believe has never been done before, and this is what makes these pieces just absolutely intriguing to listen to again and again. She uses the western orchestra in a way that compliments, rather than compromises, the structure of raga. That is, unlike Shankar, who inserted the sitar into the concerto form; Hasu has inserted the concert orchestra into the raga form. And so these concerti have the orchestral players echoing the tones of the raga, pairing instruments with the sounds of the sitar, tampura, and tabla, based on their respective sound qualities. It must have been such a creative challenge for the players of this orchestra to work with these very different phrases and changes; to play their instruments in ways they weren't used to playing them! The pieces begin with the Indian instruments, then develop with the unmistakeable fluidity and vocal quality of Gayaki Ang, seemlessly bringing in the orchestral instruments. I'm telling you, there is nothing like it! These pieces are so utterly organic in their raga-like development over time, it boggles my mind!
I sincerely hope you like them as much as I do.

Update 9:25 a.m. – Read the full story: "Dwolla raises $5m Series B round led by Union Square Ventures (Video)"
In January, Betabeat cited un-named sources to report that Dwolla had raised around $10 million in a Series B round led by Union Square Ventures of New York. Dwolla, a Des Moines-based pay online cash transfer startup, responded quickly but passively on Twitter with allusions to songs titled "Rumors." Today, it's a different tune. Business Insider has the online scoop – the Des Moines Register has it in print – that Dwolla has raised a $5 million Series B round led by Union Square Ventures, a venture capital firm who among its notable investments touts Twitter, Zynga, foursquare and Etsy.
Also participating in the round was Village Ventures and Thrive Capital, both of New York, Artists & Instigators of West Conshohocken, Penn. (Marc Eckō's venture innovation company) and angel investor Paige Craig of Los Angeles-based Betterworks.
"The investment is all about getting the product out nationally," Milne told Business Insider. "Union Square Ventures can help build the brand and build the beginning of something we think will be really, really badass.
Business Insider: "Dwolla Raises $5 Million From Union Square Ventures To Continue Building Its (Nearly) Fee-Free Payment Network"
To date, this brings Dwolla to a total amount raised of more than $6 million. In December 2010, it raised its Series A round from investors and strategic partners in Iowa, The Veridian Group and The Members Group, both of Iowa.
Besides the obvious heavy investment coming from New York, here are few early notes on the investors:
- The regular Silicon Prairie News audience may remember that Eckō and Craig spoke at two of our events in 2011, Big Omaha and Thinc Iowa respectively. Dwolla co-founder and CEO attended Big Omaha and was a part of the speaker lineup at Thinc Iowa, as well.
- When it raised its Series A round in December 2010, it had also announced the addition of Village Ventures managing general partner Matt Harris to its advisory board. Today, his firm comes on board as an investor.
- Thrive Capital founder Josh Kushner also has a connection to Betabeat, the outlet that originally broke the Dwolla funding story. From Betabeat's disclosure page: "Thrive Capital is invested in several start-up companies. Josh Kushner, a Thrive principal, is also part-owner of Observer Media Group, which owns Betabeat. Betabeat has no affiliation with Thrive Capital and the views expressed in Betabeat do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Thrive Capital or its principals."
We have a full story in the works on Dwolla's Series B round. Stay tuned.

Word on the street: Marysville-Pilchuck has powerhouse running attack.
Word on the street: Timberline has strong defense against the run.
Both teams lived up to their reputation at key junctures Saturday night, but big plays by the Tomahawks of the 3A Western Conference built too big an early lead, and Marysville-Pilchuck got out of Lacey with a 33-21 victory in the Class 3A first round at South Sound Stadium.
Marysville-Pilchuck (9-2) scored three touchdowns on plays of 40 or more yards, and the last one – a 42-yard TD run by Deion Stell – blunted a Timberline second-half comeback, which had cut it to 26-21 in the fourth quarter on Chris MacNeil's 11-yard touchdown strike to Brennon Kaleiwaheall.
Tomahawks sophomore Austin Joyner carried nine times for 170 yards in the first half, scoring three touchdowns – two on runs of 74 and 73 yards.

PETIT Robin heads the weights for The Ladbroke at Ascot on Saturday, as the money continued to come for Highclere's Ranjaan.
The Paul Nicholls-trained four-year-old has been smashed from an early 16-1 into 8s as bookies fear another Ditcheat slaughter and he could very well usurp current favourite Balder Succes.
The handicap hurdle is usually a target for Nicky Henderson and as well as Petit Robin, he has Cash And Go, Lyvius and First In The Queue still in the mix. Alan King, who won last year with Raya Star, saddles Balder Succes and Tom George's Olofi could bid for a double after slamming Cash And Go at Cheltenham's Paddy Power meeting last month.
Ladbrokes: 6 Balder Succes, 7 Cash And Go, 8 Lyvius, 8 Ranjaan, 10 Petit Robin, Olofi, Katkeau, Into Wain, 12 bar.
Trainer Paul Nicholls was dealt a huge double injury blow last night with the news Big Buck's and Al Ferof are set to miss the rest of the season. The former was due to run in Saturday's Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot, while Al Ferof was being prepared for an assault at the King George VI Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day.
Big Buck's' leg injury means he will not defend his crown in the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival next March.
The Betfred Novices' Chase at Ascot of Friday could be a Christmas cracker with Simonsig and Overturn holding entries.
Henderson's grey Simonsig is already 3-1 fav for the Arkle in March, despite him not having jumped a fence in public. Overturn, second in the Champion Hurdle, won his chasing debut at Sandown and is 7s for the Arkle.
Nicholls has also entered the highly-regarded Poungach, a winner at Haydock last time out.
David Pipe is still aiming Grands Crus for the King George Chase, for which the grey is a
best-priced 14-1 with Hill.
The grey was a red-hot favourite for the Paddy Power Gold Cup but disappointed in heavy ground and has since had a wind operation.
Pipe said: "I'm pleased with the progress and hoping to make the King George at Kempton."

Ayala, Metro Pacific to Form Alliance for Rail Projects
Ayala Corp. (AC) and Metro Pacific Investments Corp. (MPI) agreed to form a partnership to bid and develop light rail projects in Manila, stepping up competition for companies such as San Miguel Corp. (SMC) to build infrastructure.
They will own 50 percent each in the rail projects and related real-estate developments, Ayala and Metro Pacific said in a joint statement today. The alliance will initially bid for so-called public private partnership projects, it said.
Philippines plans to offer as many as 18 projects worth more than 200 billion pesos ($4.7 billion) to companies this year as President Benigno Aquino aims to create jobs and spur the $200 billion economy after growth slowed to a two-year low in 2011. Ayala and Metro Pacific said they have delivered public utilities such as water infrastructure services and toll road operations and will be able to use these capabilities.
"Each of these companies brings something to the table," said Jomar Lacson, an analyst at Campos Lanuza & Co. "In many ways, their assets and strategies are mutually beneficial and the partnership makes sense."
Ayala and businessman Manuel Pangilinan's Metro Pacific had first come together in 2010. They joined First Gen Corp. (FGEN) in a venture that bid for a 246-megawatt hydroelectric power plant in Bulacan province. Eight years before that, Ayala Land and its partner acquired control of the 240-hectare Fort Bonifacio project from Metro Pacific for $90 million.
'Under Invested'
The two companies see opportunities as Philippines seeks to improve its light rail transit system.
"The existing system is over capacity and under invested - - the need to improve the existing rail systems now cannot be overemphasized," Pangilinan said in the statement.
San Miguel, the Philippines' largest company, plans to bid for a 60 billion-peso contract to extend a Manila commuter railway line to Cavite, a province neighboring the capital, President Ramon Ang said in February.
Ayala, which owns the nation's biggest builder, seeks to expand into airports and railways, and will boost capital spending by 38 percent this year to a record 91 billion pesos, Chairman Jaime Augusto Zobel said in March. It won the first road project offered by Aquino's administration to investors in December.
Pangilinan, who is the chairman of Metro Pacific, said in November the company may bid for Manila's 30-year old international airport which the government wants to sell or revamp. A sale may bring in as much as $2.5 billion.

Coach Kevin McHale and the Rockets players were pretty unhappy with their offensive performance on Wednesday night, when they defeated Charlotte in the season opener 96-83.
McHale compared watching the team's offense Wednesday night to "a trip to the dentist."
"It wasn't us," he said.
In practice Thursday, McHale said he saw the team he knew back on the floor.
"It was a team I recognized today," he said. "We pushed the ball, we ran, we didn't just stand there holding the ball."
Despite the sluggish offensive play on Wednesday night, the Rockets did get a win to start the season 1-0. Chandler Parsons said that was a good sign for what is to come for the team.
"We have a really good team," Parsons said. "Hopefully we can win games like we did last night when we aren't executing, when its ugly and sloppy but we don't want to rely on that and we don't want it to come to that every night."

Sevierville (WVLT) His decision's not final, and it won't be until the autopsy report's in.
But right now, District Attorney General Jimmy Dunn says three deputies involved in an on the job shooting last week did the right thing.
34 year old Michael Shane Price was killed in the incident.
"I've reviewed the facts and circumstances of this case after consulting with the TBI, and I've determined thus far that the officers involved followed proper procedures and guidelines," Dunn told Volunteer TV's Stephen McLamb.
Dunn says he still is waiting on the autopsy reports before he makes a final decision on the case.
According to police reports, Sevier County deputies were called to Price's sister's home on McCleary Road in Seymour on Tuesday, September 4th for a report of a disturbance.
Sevier County Sheriff Ron Seals says despite numerous warnings from deputies, Price didn't drop his gun and instead pointed it toward officers.
He was shot and killed.
Deputies Jason Madison, Leslie Franklin, and Sergeant Darrell Lee were put on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the TBI investigation.

Seattle loves cheap vodka, Washingtonians want Canadian whiskey
Flavored drinks have rocketed in popularity
Published 9:51 pm, Tuesday, September 20, 2011
Seattle, you're a vodka town. Cheap vodka.
For the past four years, a fifth of McCormick's vodka selling for just over $10 has been more popular with Seattleites than any other liquor. While Jack Daniel's whiskey and Jagermeister have competed for the No. 2 spot in years past, regular Pinnacle vodka is now second on the Seattle best-seller list.
However, it's that company's whipped cream vodka that has been turning heads.
The flavored vodka, selling for $15.95 a fifth, has become the most-popular flavored vodka statewide, selling nearly 3,000 cases a month.
"Within four or five months, it skyrocketed to our No. 1 selling flavored vodka," said Steve Burnell, marketing manager for the State Liquor Control Board. Burnell said the vodka debuted here more than a year ago. "It's a pretty amazing trend."
It's not only flavors that are increasing sales of less-expensive vodka. The struggling economy has something to do with it, though consumers are returning to their familiar brands as things slowly get better, Burnell said.

Washington now sells about 120 different flavored vodkas – usually similar flavors marketed by different companies. The whipped cream flavor, sold only by Pinnacle, is nearly twice as profitable as the second best-selling flavored vodka, according to state data.
Pinnacle also sells cake-flavored vodka, whipped cream-and-cherry flavor, chocolate whipped cream flavor, and its cotton candy flavor may soon be distributed in Washington.
"A lot of dudes can be sold on it right away and it's easy to drink," Becky Rice, co-owner and general manager of Spitfire in Belltown, said of flavored rum and vodka in general. "It's kind of a go-to for bartenders when people don't know what they want.
"You can turn it into a kamakazi, cosmos, a lemon drop – it spices up the standard big-sellers."
Following vodka, Canadian whiskey has been the second-best-selling category statewide for several years, selling more than Irish and domestic whiskey combined.
Because the top-selling Seattle liquor list includes both bar sales and home consumption, Seattle bartenders say well drinks play a big role in forming it. That's likely why McCormick's low-cost vodka has consistently held the top spot.
Jameson Irish Whiskey has seen a jump in sales since 2008, and this year it's outselling Jack Daniel's in Seattle. The company has promoted the drink with bartenders who then relay the info to customers, and Burnell also credits higher sales to the company's strong marketing pitches.
Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey and Jagermeister are also big sellers in Seattle, along with Grey Goose vodka and Maker's Mark Kentucky bourbon.
"They're all marketed very well," Spitfire co-owner and general manager Brian Hill said of drinks on the Seattle list. "For the most they don't overlap very much other than the ones that are wells."
Even flavored whiskey is gaining popularity here. Rice, also the former bar manager at Neumos, said cinnamon-flavored Fireball whiskey is a bartender's go-to because it's popular and can be served quickly.
"It's easy to drink and it's not terribly expensive," said Hill, who sold out of it last weekend. "We can hardly keep it in the fridge here."
Overall, Washingtonians are fans of Canadian whiskey. From 2008 to 2010, the 1.75 liter bottles of Canadian Rich and Rare were the best sellers statewide, and through last year 1.75 liter bottles of Black Velvet Canadian whiskey was the runner-up. State sales numbers show that last year the two brands sold more than 138,124 cases combined.
Seattle bartenders who reviewed that statewide list said the Canadian whiskey sales were likely driven by home consumption because most bars only pour from fifths.
"It probably makes sense if you go way back to Prohibition and what was coming across the border," Burnell said. "Washington has always been a very large Canadian market."
Burnell said some in-state distilleries have done well with Washington consumers, including Dry Fly Distillery. The Spokane company is the state's largest craft distillery, producing vodka, whiskey and gin for distribution in more than 40 states and parts of Canada.
Other statewide top sellers so far this year? Traditional statewide top sellers Crown Royal, Jack Daniels and Jagermeister make the top 10 list, along with reasonable-priced Pinnacle and Platinum vodkas.
Hill, noting flavored vodkas in the box-office hit "Bridesmaids" and music references to name brands like Gray Goose, believes top liquor sales in Seattle and Washington reflect pop culture.
Burnell said the lists are also influenced by the economy.
"But I think over time," he said, "people go back to their brand."
Change coming?
Whether the state will remain in the liquor business is something up to voters this fall. Initiative 1183 would privatize liquor sales and distribution, putting the state in charge of liquor law enforcement instead.
Unlike the previous liquor privatization initiative, Costco- and Trader Joe's-supported 1183 would prevent liquor from being sold at gas stations or small convenience stores. But the initiative has strong opposition.
"I think Washingtonians are rightfully nervous about at least a four-fold increase in the number of liquor sales," said Alex Fryer, spokesman for the anti-1183 campaign. "They're also concerned because no one can tell you exactly how many retail outlets will open if 1183 passes. No one knows what the total impact will be."
Kathryn Stenger, spokeswoman for the pro-1183 campaign, said opponents are using outdated information and that a Commonwealth Foundation review of West Virginia and Iowa – the most recent two states to privatize liquor sales – showed consumption rates there did not go up.
"It's not a core function of government to promote liquor," she said. "Their core functions should be enforcement and oversight, and that's what 1183 does."

The new Amon Tobin album from his Stunt Fingers alter ego is due on Oct. 1, it's a study in the best of hip-hop, minus the gangsta aesthetic. Big beats and bombastic break beats. "Although Amon's love of the lower reaches of low end will undoubtedly cause people to reach for lazy comparisons with dubstep, "Stunt Rhythms" is in fact more acurately viewed as his love letter to hip hop – less the rampant consumerism of, say, G-Unit's "Stunt 101" than the early culture of innovation and freshness, of showing off simply that you're better at what you do than anyone else," reads the proclamation of thunder from Big Dada.

American Values
The dropping of the atomic bomb is justified by the fact that the United States did not choose to fight in WWII. Japan dragged the US into it by bombing Pearl Harbor
Unconditional Surrender:
Roosevelt believed that this war was a struggle between good and evil and no compromise should ever be made with evil.
Japanese will not give up
A total of 1,010 bomber planes used dropping 3,100 tons of bombs. Over 100,000 Germans died in one day.
Option 3: Dropping the Atomic Bomb
Pearl Harbor:
The American Military Casualties
Using our atomic bomb is the
way to end the war quickly to save hundreds of thousands of American lives!
"We can propose no technical demonstration likely to bring an end to the war; we see no acceptable alternative to direct military use"
In the first 6 hours, 100,000 people died, 15 square miles burned down. Kept bombing until the U.S. ran out of bombs yet the Japanese continued fighting.
Dangers of the Japanese
The Japanese have a brutal history of aggression
against not only the people of America, but people all around the world. They have done nothing to deserve our sympathy.
They will fight until they are decimated.
Every day the war continues, thousands more Americans are suffering and dying at the hands of the Japanese.
Using our atomic bombs will save many times more lives that than it will take.

By the end of December,
20,000 cases
of rape had been reported.
Some Japanese soldiers raped pregnant women, killed them, cut the fetuses out of their bodies and then had their picture taken with the fetuses. Some young Chinese women disguised themselves as elderly women to escape being raped.
We need a quick ending to the war, not only to avoid mainland invasion, but...
to save American lives
stop the involvement of Stalin
and the Soviet Union
The Children
A soldier that ate the flesh of a young Chinese boy said, "It was the only time, and not so much meat."
Young children cut open and raped
Unborn fetuses ripped from mothers womb and killed and used as props
The Men and POW's
One Chinese man later said he was lined up on December 14, 1937 with 300 people mowed down by machines gun
Chinese men forced to work for Japanese and then executed after work was done
The Bataan Death March
-Report to Interim Committee
The Bataan Death March began on April 10, 1942, when the Japanese assembled about 78,000 prisoners
POWs who could not continue or keep up with the pace were summarily executed.
Even stopping to relieve oneself could bring death, so many chose to continue walking while relieving themselves.
Some enemy soldiers savagely toyed with POWs by dragging them behind trucks with a rope around the neck.
Pearl Harbor
Our choice is better because...
If we allow the Japanese to keep their emperor, (like the first option suggests) we revoke our
of unconditional surrender and they still may not surrender.
The Japanese got their warning in the Potsdam Declaration. Dropping a "warning bomb" (like the second option suggests) just wastes time,
raises casualties
, and, again, may not even lead to Japanese surrender.
The Power of the Atomic Bomb
American death tolls:
407,000 military casualties
131,028,000 of the total population
"The Japanese government has deliberately sought to decieve the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace..." -FDR
On June 18 a conference adopted "The Fundamental Policy to Be Followed Henceforth in the Conduct of War" in which they pledged to "prosecute the war to the bitter end" and they would not give up
Neutrality violated
Declared War
Quote from American imprisoned by Japanese:
"I am surrounded by bodies, vomit, and mostly death. I know my life will be coming to an end and there seems to be no way out of this." (May 1945)
One bomb. One plane. Same Damage.
The Possibility of Surrender
"I know the Japanese intimately,. the japanese will not crack. they will not crack morally or psychologically or economically, even when eventual defeat stares them in the face...
only by utter physical destruction or utter exhaustion can they be defeated...that is what we are up against in fighting Japan
-Joseph Grew (U.S Ambassador to Japan)
Because of the Code of Bushido the Japanese would rather die than surrender because surrender meant dishonor and breaking the bonds to the emperor. If the US keeps fighting the Japanese through invasions and shelling it would result in a higher loss of lives and suffering.
Emerging Problems with the Soviet Union
Soviet Union entering the war with Japan would lead to the spread of Communism. In Western Europe, the Soviet Union created puppets of Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia and forced Communism onto them.
Rape of Nanking
200,000 Chinese raped, torchered, and killed
Japanese government told it's people to defend the islands of Saipan, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa at all costs or they would face torture by American soldiers
Photo taken in Okinawa of a civilian jumping to their death
U.S casualties estimated casualties if Japan mailand was invaded:
Potsdam Declaration:
We are giving the Japanese more warning than the US got for Pearl Harbor.
"The full application of our military power, backed by our resolve, will mean the inevitable and complete destruction of the Japanese armed forces and just as inevitaly the utter devastation of the Japanese homeland."
Japanese has the chance to surrender

Can you get connected to Xbox Live ok?
If so - it shouldn't be a problem - they are both on the same network, it may just be a case of the firewall on the router blocking stuff, what happens when you test media connection in network settings?
This might be helpful
Section 4.4 in there.
Also - you don't wanna have any software firewalls on your laptop - McAfee, Zonealarm, Norton etc.

Another rare shorebird showed up in Coxsackie last week.
A LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER has been keeping company with Killdeers, Yellowlegs, Solitary, Spotted, and Least Sandpipers on the ponds on the Coxsackie Creek Grasslands Preserve.
This bird uses its long bill to probe in the pond bottom mud for insects, larvae, and the like.
Here he is with one of the other sandpipers sharing the pond bottoms.
As far as I know, this is the first record of this western species in The Greene County.
It has been very cooperative so that lots of area birders were able to add this species to their "life lists".
The ponds were the result of careful design of stormwater retention ponds for the Kalkberg Commerce Park construction project. Before these ponds were constructed, there was very little shorebird habitat in the area. This and the grasslands preserve that now serve as Harrier and Short-eared Owl habitat show that some beneficial use can be derived from an industrial development project.
