.... glimpse at a problem that is confounding the N.F.L. this season. Players are taking Adderall, a medication widely prescribed to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, whether they need it or not, and are failing drug tests because of it. And that is almost certainly contributing to a most-troubling result: a record-setting year for N.F.L. drug suspensions.
I think NFL network slipped up with the mention of Adderall as the cause of Browner's suspension. With Guy, Browner & Sherman all going thru suspensions, the linked recent article is worth a read for those wanting to get their arms around the problem.

Highmark/WPAHS deal may be health care harbinger
So far, the Highmark drama has been in the western part of the state, with the Pittsburgh-based insurer's proposed purchase of West Penn Allegheny Health System.
But Central Pennsylvania observers aren't watching just because it's a good show, or even because Highmark insures a lot of people here.
The deal matters, they say, because it's increasingly looking as if close relationships between providers and payers, and alternative reimbursement models, are the future face of health care.
The spotlight thus far has been on Pittsburgh and the amply illustrated difficulties of balancing the interests of the payer, the provider and the people. But while enmeshed in those negotiations with WPAHS, Highmark has also been pursuing its vision — a system in which price and volume of services are based not on provider market power but on value delivered — via other avenues.
In June, Highmark announced a $275 million strategic partnership with Jefferson Regional Medical Center, a smaller organization in the Pittsburgh area. In October, Highmark announced a roughly $65 million strategic affiliation with St. Vincent Health System in Erie.
And recently, Altoona Regional Health System Medical Center in Blair County said Highmark was one of three potential affiliates it has been talking to. The others are Geisinger Health System and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center — the powerful WPAHS rival in Pittsburgh.
"It looks like Highmark's plan is sort of to create a giant health system in the western part of the state," said health care attorney John Greenleaf III of the Harrisburg-based firm McNees Wallace & Nurick LLC. "Whether they move east eventually, I don't know."
Central Pennsylvania's health systems do have a sporadic history of discussing consolidation, Greenleaf said. However, the power dynamic is different here than in Pittsburgh.
If WPAHS fails, he said, "UPMC is really left as a main provider out there" — and for competition, "It's usually beneficial to have at least two big systems."
Matthew Kirk, president of The Benecon Group Inc. in Manheim Township, said he sees increasing costs and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act causing tectonic shifts in the health care landscape. He expects the results will be more deals like Highmark's, whether they be purchases or partnerships or affiliations.
"Integrated delivery systems are the future of controlling costs in health care," Kirk said. "Without the close relationship between the payment and provision of health care, the sharing of information will be difficult."
But, Kirk said, as the WPAHS deal is illustrating, assembling a comprehensive and coordinated network of providers can be complicated and expensive.
"What they're undertaking is not only important for their entities, it's important for the citizenry of Pennsylvania to control cost and continue to have access," Kirk said.
The WPAHS debt has been both the primary impetus and the main sticking point for the Highmark deal since the beginning. Things came to a head this fall, when Highmark's urging WPAHS to consider bankruptcy prompted WPAHS to announce that it was seeking other partner options for its future.
Highmark went to court to prevent that from happening, and WPAHS countersued for damages. On Nov. 9, Allegheny Court of Common Pleas Judge Christine Ward ruled in favor of Highmark, saying its actions hadn't breached the agreement and therefore WPAHS is not permitted to seek other suitors while the agreement stands.
The ruling also noted that, although the Pennsylvania Insurance Department has not conditioned approval of the deal on WPAHS filing for bankruptcy, it has "expressed its concern that Highmark not send 'good money after bad.'"
According to a recently released financial statement, in June WPAHS had total assets of $1.3 billion and total liabilities of $1.5 billion. It posted a $37.8 million loss for the year.
Highmark and WPAHS issued a joint statement last week, saying their senior leaders met and had "a very productive session."
"Highmark and WPAHS continue to believe that an affiliation between them is in the best interests of both organizations and of the greater community," the statement said. "The parties agreed to work diligently in the days ahead to finalize their efforts and to work together to gain PID approval."
The statement noted that the parties met with WPAHS bondholders. It also said Highmark and WPAHS "agreed to focus on assisting and supporting the physician retention and recruitment with WPAHS, and to improving ongoing communications and coordinated actions prior to any regulatory approval."

John Bassett Moore Intermediate School held their D.A.R.E. Graduation Tuesday to celebrate the completion of the program by the fifth grade students.
Principal Elyse Baerga started the program off by congratulating the students on graduating from the D.A.R.E. program, stating students learned important life lessons they'll be able to use in life.
"It's also important because you're building a relationship with a local hero, because that's what police officers are every day," Baerga said.
Smyrna Police officers and school resource officers Garr Owens and Evans Leighty were this year's D.A.R.E. officers.
Police Chief Wil Bordley, Lt. Norman Wood, Smyrna School District Superintendent Debbie Wicks, and Assistant Superintendent Patrik Williams were in attendance at the graduation.
Officer Owens said the D.A.R.E. program is making a difference and there's research to prove its worth. He told the students the skills they've learned in D.A.R.E. have equipped them to make the right decision to resists drugs and alcohol when the students find themselves in such a situation.
Officer Leighty thanked Chief Bordley and Lt. Wood for the opportunity to work in the schools: "It's a pleasure and a honor to be a resource officer for the school district," he said.
Leighty also thanked the students for making his first year teaching fun.
Each student received a certificate for graduating from the program. The graduating classes were Mrs. Hoye and Mrs. Stevenson; Mrs. McGowan, Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Selby; Mrs. Deisem and Mr. Matthews; Mr. Wetherall and Ms. Zamudio; and Mr. McGuigan.
A few select students were also awarded for their D.A.R.E. essays. The point of the essay was for students to write about their commitment to the program and what they learned.
Baerga said one person from each class was chosen as an essay winner, with a couple of classes having a tie for the best essay. The essay winners from the classes were Justus Lauro, Tanaya Wilson, Daniel Saamoi, Olivia Reynolds, Mickenzie Matarese, Jaylyn Thomas, Kemuel Mims, and Abigail Conway.
Two students stood out for having phenomenal essays. Nigee Newson was the runner up for best overall essay, while Jackson Reynolds was chosen for writing the best overall D.A.R.E. essay.

The goal is to fill a grid with digits so that each column and each row contain the digits only once (a Latin square).
Additionally, the grid is divided into heavily outlined cages (groups of cells) and the numbers in the cells of each cage must produce a certain "target" number when combined using a specified mathematical operation (either addition, subtraction, multiplication or division).
Digits may be repeated within a cage as long as they are not in the same row or column.

All the talk of fans who feel it's their right to act in a way that suits their own agenda, despite the aftermath of their actions, be they only perceived effects or as this tale will show become actual devastating consequences.
At the dawn of a new era of exciting and promising Seahawk football, that's whipping the Twelve Man into a boisterous chest thumping lather, I'm reminded of another golden age in this franchise history. A time of equal promise and excitement, a time when once before fans used their First Amendment Rights to let their opinion be known rightly or wrongly.
A time before the Twelve Man had a name.
A time before some of us were even born.
The year is 1982, the Seahawks had survived their introduction into the NFL and had surpassed most everybody's expectations in their short seven year existence. That year the NFL and the NFLPA had been locked in a heated collective bargaining battle throughout the entire offseason. They were at an impasse, the players were threatening to strike and for the first time in NFL history disrupt the regular season.
With the start of the season approaching and the cloud of labor unrest looming overhead, then GM John Thompson and coach Jack Patera traded popular WR and union representative Sam McCullum to Minnesota. The NFLPA promptly saw the trade as retaliation for his work with the players union and before the first game of the season against Cleveland handed out pamphlets expressing that opinion in no uncertain terms. A ploy, in part at least, to garner support for their cause from the fans.
Now Sam was a good receiver, not great, but a very nice complement to Steve Largent yet after the trade he only played for two more years, never matched the modest numbers he had at Seattle. These were the facts behind the debate for John and Jack to trade him, while he still had value. On the other hand the Seahawks didn't have a WR that could or did match his production either, argued the other side. So whether his trade was truly retaliatory or not would never be known for sure, as both sides stood by their story, but it matters not. At the end of the second game of the '82 season the players struck, the owners locked them out, and the infamous 57 days of no football happen. Magnified everyday on the sports news and every Sunday by the lack there of.
The Seahawk's vociferous fans put that time to "good" use, inflamed by the NFLPA's stand on McCullum or possibly from just the lack of football, they struck out at the only people they could reach, the owners, or in our case the Nordstrom's clothing company. They used their First Amendment Right and picketed Nordstrom stores, they cut up their credit cards, they called for a ban of their products, they wrote letters to papers and they harassed their customers. Now whether it was the pressure of these protests or the two back to back seasons of sub .500 records that motivated his decision is hard to say, but on October 13th halfway through the strike, the Nordstroms announced the firing of John Thompson and Jack Patera and the elevation of Mike McCormack to GM/coach. On November 16th an agreement was reached and the players returned to play November 21st to finish a 9 game season.
Had that been the end of it perhaps everything would have returned to normal. Chuck Knox was hired as head coach, Mike McCormack remained GM/President of Player Operations and the Seahawks established winning seasons and post season playoff surprises.
But in '82 the NFLPA had not pressed for free agency in favor of the "55% revenue sharing" and in '87 they were determined to get it. Two weeks into that season the NFLPA went on strike, a week later the all ready prepared owners continued the season with replacement players and the Seahawk fans picketed Nordstroms once again.
The Nordstroms family were huge sports fans and supporters, but they were businessmen first and their business was selling high end clothing, which was now being threatened for the second time because of their association with the NFL. The family decided they could no longer have their business disrupted for things that happened on the football field. They went on a searched for a buyer of the hometown team and on August 30, 1988, John Nordstrom announced that the Seahawks had been sold to a used car salesman turned real estate mogul, the man whose name shall not be spoken.
At this point I could go on about the mismanagement, bad drafts, coaching hires, poor seasons, dwindling fan support, TV black outs, moving vans, and all the rest of the nine years of ineptness that became the "Dark Era", but this is a cautionary tale about OUR actions and the unforeseen consequences they may cause.
Do I believe if we troll on opposing teams message boards and generally act like fools it will create a "butterfly effect" and Paul Allen will sell the Seahawks or somehow shutdown the internet? Of course not. Do I think if we get drunk and shout obscenities at an opposing team's fan, be they man, woman, child or dog, someone will move our team to LA? No, that would be inane. Do I suppose if we vandalize someone's car or attack them because they are wearing another team's jersey we'll spiral into an abyss of poor drafts and poorer seasons? No, that's just silly. Do I profess if we act like asses in the name of our fandom somehow games will be blacked out? No and why should I?
But then, why should any of those fans, protesting in the front of those Nordstrom store doors way back in '82 and '87, believe their acts could explode into the maelstrom that would become the Dark Era? How could they foresee the chain of events that would lead to the lowest point in Seahawk history?
So as these accounts of fans pushing the limits of civility to the edge of chaos, in the guise of their rights to fandom and free speech, are being repeated at home games with Washington, San Francisco, New Orleans "Beast Quake" and others yet to be chronicled, I simply point out, how the actions of US the fans can and sometimes do have long term, undefined, and unforeseen devastating consequences.
Well that's my cautionary tale, it's how I remembered it. It's a story of a passionate fan base, a perceived wrong, a constitutional right, and how they all collided to push Seattle football history to the brink of disaster.
Could the overwhelming desire to express our love and support for one team once again push us to the edge of some other unsuspected precipice? Does merely standing on the sidelines perpetuate a slide down a slippery slope to another unanticipated, yet eventual cataclysm?
Just how much are we willing to lose to prove our fandom?
I'll leave each of you to decide for yourselves…

The mercurial broadcaster Glenn Beck, who two years ago was calling for a religious rebirth in America, now wants to confront God publicly and loudly about His �leftist agenda� and unwillingness to take responsibility for actions that have left the conservative movement in tatters.
�Something that is beyond man is happening here. Sandy, Mitt Romney, Nate Silver � something isn�t right and I think it has to do with the man upstairs,� Mr. Beck told reporters, in what was part religious revival and part history lecture. �America today, and with my help, begins to turn its back on this God.�
Mr. Beck, who hosts the �Glenn Beck Program,� a nationally syndicated talk-radio show that airs throughout the United States on Premiere Radio Networks, said he is worried that when it comes to God, �a victim mentality has taken over.�
�After Nov. 6, God has a lot to answer for,� Mr. Beck said.
He is hoping to mobilize some 300,000 to 650,000 people to join him on his march to the grounds of the state capital building in Oklahoma City where the conservative pundit expects to view the 2,000-pound granite block depicting � with some misspellings - the Ten Commandments and to confront � with no misgivings - the Omnipotent One.
�I am at peace, which I think is a better place than God in right now,� Mr. Beck said.
At times emotional, strident, and petulant, Mr. Beck accused God of fostering � even encouraging � a dependency that was stripping the country of its entrepreneurial spirit turning this once vital republic into a haven for the shiftless and the networthless.
�If you are asking me if I think God is a taker � well there is nothing I have seen in the last 18 months that would make me think otherwise,� he said.
Critics have suggested that Mr. Beck is trying to energize conservatives following the dispiriting election results this month. Mainstream Republican leaders, though, remain skittish about Mr. Beck and they had little to say about his planned march on God.
In an interview aired Sunday, Mr. Beck denied any political motivation � or political aspiration � and shrugged off conservatives� suggestions that his willingness to call God out made him presidential material.
�There�s nothing we can do that will solve the problems that we have and keep the peace unless we solve it through God � and by through I mean running roughshod over His will if that�s what it takes,� he told �Fox News Sunday.�
Mr. Beck expressed regret that some remarks he made in the heat of Election Night may have been understood to have suggested that God was a racist with a deep-seated hatred for white people.
�I think Sununu might have been egging me on,� said Mr. Beck, referring to John Sununu, the former White House chief of staff and co-chair of GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney�s campaign.
He said he had come to see God not as a racist but as an advocate of �the liberal social policies,� but, added, �that doesn�t excuse what he has done to our movement.�
Mr. Beck reiterated his objections to Obamacare and said he feared that �progressives� were moving the United States toward socialism and that entitlement programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid must be ended.
But he said that none of that would be of such high concern if God had done his job in 2012.
�I think it�s time the two of us sit down have a serious talk about what His plans are, because I am not sure I like the direction He is taking this country,� Mr. Beck said.
The talk show host, though, did offer hope for the future � for both the country and God.
�I think we are the people who should be His natural constituency,� Mr. Beck said. �I think He just has to do a better job of getting his message out.�

Q. My shower stall was renovated with ceramic tile three years ago. Is it too late to seal the grout? Also, one grout joint in a corner has cracked, from the floor to the ceiling. How can I fix it so it won't crack again?
CHRISTINE JOHNSTON,Wilmington
A. You can seal the grout the day after you applied it or 100 years later. If it isn't dirty, seal all three sides of the shower with a tile sealer or masonry sealer. That will make the grout water-resistant, if not waterproof, and help prevent the growth of mold and dirt. If it is dirty, clean thoroughly with bleach and water, rinse, and seal. Any of the clear masonry or tile sealers will work; resealing will be necessary.
As for the grout in the corner, it cracked because it was not compacted heavily enough. The corner is a bigger pain than the flat surfaces because there is often a bigger empty space behind. Dig out all the old grout with a utility knife or any sharp instrument. Buy unsanded grout and insert it in the crack with a squeegee; press it in so that it is completely compact. Then smooth off and forget about it until a day or two later when you can seal it.
I am not a big fan of using caulking with ceramic tile, but this particular corner may be just the place for it. You can try it, anyway; put a bead of adhesive caulk (Phenoseal and Polyseamseal are two good brands) in the corner, then press it in and smooth it off.
Q. The apartments in my building have very big windows, and wide sills too. The sills are covered by two rows of ceramic tiles, and they get mortal cold. How can I insulate those tiles in my apartment?
A. Those cold tiles might be pulling air right down the windows and sill, and can actually create a draft, even in a tight house. Try this: Buy several carpet tiles, the thicker the better, and cut them to fit on the sills, then glue the parts on the sill with an adhesive caulk. Tell your neighbor how to do it and you will come out a hero.
Q. I have steam heat, and my cellar is really, really hot. How can I cool it off and/or utilize that wasted heat?
A If all the pipes leading to and from the boiler are bare, you can insulate them with a special compressed fiberglass insulation. Check the boiler as well. It may be insulated, but if the insulation is white and sort of hanging off the boiler, leave it alone; that is asbestos and it can be a serious hazard to occupants if loose and friable, but it can be encapsulated by an asbestos specialist. A well-insulated boiler and pipes will save you a lot of heat, keeping it in the pipes and radiators upstairs. If the pipes are asbestos wrapped, and the wrap looks in bad shape, it must be encapsulated or removed by a specialist, then reinsulated with the aforementioned compressed fiberglass. Also, check all valves at the top end of all radiators, to make sure they are working right.
Sometimes you can utilize the heat by installing vents in the first floor, but if there is any free asbestos in the cellar, this is not a good idea. Insulating all the pipes and the boiler is your best bet.Globe Handyman on Call Peter Hotton also appears in the Sunday Real Estate section. He is available 1-6 p.m. Tuesdays to answer questions.

Recently a patron made a trip from the suburbs to the Newberry, looking for the films he'd ordered. He received an email notification that they had shipped, and assumed they'd be at the Newberry a couple days later.
That assumption was not correct. In the online ordering system, an email is sent automatically by FamilySearch when we enter the film as Received. There can be delays in receiving films because of delays in shipping, such as bad weather and postal holidays.
Sometimes the film has arrived, and been checked in, but there is a problem with email reception. Your notification may go to your spam folder, or may not reach you if there was a typo in the address you typed when you created your FamilySearch account. The email is the only notification you'll receive.
If you have gotten a Shipped notice but do not get a Received notice after a week or two, call us at the genealogy reference desk, 312-255-3512. We want to save you an unnecessary trip.

Can the kids find a counter example that proves Hacker is lying -- or will he be elected the new ruler of cyberspace? Guest voice: Al Roker as "Sam Vander Rom." The Big Idea: When people use words like always, never, all, or none to claim something is true, be suspicious! Such claims are often false, and you need only a single counter example to disprove them. D

Here we learn that Mr. Munroe apparently has a thing for math. Specifically, he finds math the "purest" field, though of course that brings up the question of how "purity of field" is measured. I suppose he means that personally biases are less likely to creep into math, but I'm not sure that's true. In any case, the whole thing is highly reminiscent of a joke which I have heard attributed to Steve Martin, that "When you really study science, you learn that everything in psychology is really just all about biology, and if you study biology it's all chemistry. Once you learn chemistry you learn that chemistry is really just physics, and when you get into it physics is really just math. Math is just philosophy, and philosophy is bullshit." Oh and the other thing it's highly reminiscent of is comic 263.
Oh also the characters in this comic are not being accurate. To choose one example, biology is not applied chemistry. At the molecular level it is indeed very much chemical, though it is of course the study of chemistry in living things. In any case, much of biology is about evolution, populations, etc, which is really not chemical at all. You know what is applied chemistry? Applied chemistry.

Nami-nami turns two and tells you which other foodbloggers make her think
Thank you all for keeping coming back for more, leaving comments, and generally being so supportive..
Coincidentally, I've been twice nominated for the Thinking Blogger Award - first by lovely Susan of FoodBlogga, and then by my dear long-time reader Joey of 80 Breakfasts. I'm really flattered, and honoured. I am also supposed to nominate five more bloggers for the thinking blogger award (and if you feel like, pass on the awards, though there's absolutely no obligation, of course).
So who are the five bloggers that make me think (particularly much)? In no particular order, I'd like to nominate:
Johanna of The Passionate Cook. I've met Johanna on several occasions now - she came to visit me in Edinburgh, I've stayed with her in London twice - in June 2006 and in April 2007, and I guess I can say that we've become pretty good friends through this foodblogging thing. Having seen her cook on several occasions, and tried her tasty food and successfully recreated many of her recipes, I'm amazed how she combines blogging about such delightful, tempting, beautifully styled and executed dishes, while also keeping tabs on a family of three kids - including a 3-year old and a few month old baby, and do contract catering every now and then as well! I hope this is a task I can cope with one day myself with such an (seemingly) effortless ease!
Bea of La Tartine Gourmande. I've learned (or I hope at least that I have) immensely about food styling and photography from Bea. More than any other blogger, Bea makes me think about the aesthetics of various dishes. Her way with colours and light are truly inspirational, and make me want to learn more about food styling and photography every time.
Ilva of Lucullian Delights inspires me because her blog feels most seasonal and relaxed to be. I like her style of recipes - they're very much Nigel Slater'esque. You know, a handful of this, a drizzle of that, couple of these -you get the picture. Cooking by eye, intuition and gut feeling, I think, and not sticking religiously to a recipe. This is very much how I cook most of the time, and occasionally I find the need to write down exact - or even approximate - amounts frustrating. Ilva's posts encourage me and tell me that I must be doing something right, even if it is by intuition rather than precision.
Then there's a young Estonian foodblogger Merilin of Pisike ja Pisut Segi, who works as a food technology & safety scientist during the day, and blogs about food and the How? and Why? behind cooking during the night, and she does that in a language I understand (in all senses of the word). She's destined to become the Harold McGee of Estonia one day very soon, I'm sure about it.
And the joint fifth award goes to Alanna of A Veggie Venture and Kalyn of Kalyn's Kitchen for widening my horizon about different uses for healthy and tasty vegetables, and providing me with ever-so-nice supply of inspiring recipes to boot.
Thank you all - for making me think, and for making me blog! I'm off to celebrate this second foodblogging-birthday now :)

I've only just come across your blog in the last week and love it already. I work in a restaurant, as a waiter, and have worked with food/wine for 18 years. My dad is a chef, my granny was too.

The press is buzzing over Jolie Holland's new album!
Go back to a time of apple wine, clapboard shacks and half-empty cartons of cigarettes, dusty skirts from rambling roads and porch-sitting, with the sounds of creaking boards and crickets on the air. Under a tree with an open palm you'll find Jolie Holland, singing of your troubles to keep hers away. This is her world—the one far beyond her tangible southern roots—and on her third full-legnth she welcomes us back with an open arm and a jug of moonshine hugged tight with the other.
She's Patsy Cline without the fringe, Billie Holiday minus Tin Pan Alley, and Feist without the Prozac. In Springtime, she's immersed in her realm once again, though she's traded in the "Morphine" and creepy, hillbilly-chic of Escondida for a sound that's a hint more melodic and just a touch less disturbed. Her screeching fiddle fades out, replaced by the delicate strums of campfires and beach blankets ("Adieu False Heart," "Stubborn Beast") and the piano-heavy smokiness of rustic bar tunes and warm liquor ("Mexican Blue," "Mehitibell's Blues," the title track). This is still Jolie's place, but the hint of a smile in the corners of her mouth makes it that much more welcoming.
Lesley Bargar - Filter Magazine
The test of an artist's true bearing is often found in their second album, the notion being that there's been a lifetime leading up to the debut, and then just a year or two for its successor. Jolie Holland has risen to the occasion with aplomb. Writing specifically for this release as well as for a band for the first time, there's a resonant bearing to the set as a whole. A dreamy quality pervades the set. As the instrumentation subtly varies from track to track, it further underscores the changing settings of a mind running wild while the body sleeps. Holland also addresses the idea overtly on the song "Nothing Left to Do But Dream." The gentle narrative offers surprises, such as the jarring, "I took my sister to the river and I came back alone." Small combo arrangements throughout serve to empower the lyrics--cliché-free and full of emotional breadth.
David Greenberger – Amazon.com
Jolie Holland's sophomore studio outing for Anti is a leap from her landmark Escondida. While that album traveled seamlessly from genre to genre without trying, Springtime Can Kill You moves at a slower, more labyrinthine pace toward an end that only Holland could conjure. There are many artists these days stepping deep into the rich tradition of American roots music, whether it's country, blues, folk, or gospel. To her credit, Holland is looking for something even more mercurial in her songwriting and cover performances: the American parlor -- or living room in the era before television when the radio was its centerpiece: it was the terrain where many voices, experiences, and stories from near or ghostly far came to life. Here,she articulates them in the present, often in the first person, as musical languages and as well-worn fables from life's margins. Holland's voice, always so original, sounds like it comes from some other bygone era, yet utters itself in contemporary terms; it is the anchor on which all this beautiful eventide music turns. It can be weary, tired, shy, and sly; it can be deeply divided and ambivalent; it can be sexually charged with the notion of conquest and discovery, and in its sultry, suggestive drawl it reveals even as it conceals; it's ready for the next lover's embrace or the challenge of finding it. Still at other times, it's full of grief, or intimate regret, or wide-eyed wonder and innocence at what reveals itself in the moment. It's a voice where there is no grain, only a rounded disclosure that carries within it all the moments the words were born from.
Whether she's writing original material or covering traditional tunes -- on this set she does a gorgeous reading of "Adieu False Heart" -- the effect is the same. It's intimate, like a secret told readily. And to further embolden herself, she's recorded portions of the disc in front of a small audience, and cut most of the music live from the floor. She engages country music, jazz, skeletal rock, swing, and '30s style pop in her original compositions as well as on a pair of stunning covers: poet and songwriter C.R. Avery's "Crazy Dreams" and Riley Puckett's classic "You're Never Satisfied." Other tracks offer stylistic or inspirational nods where they're due, such as on the country blues tune "Moonshiner," where she offers props to Freakwater and Memphis Minnie. Leisurely guitars, piano, horns, percussion, bass, and very subtle electronic flourishes illustrate Holland's sung words; their irony, their desire, their sadness and regret, and their slightly crazy, visionary illuminations. A listen to the opener, "Crush in the Ghetto," reveals a love song that looks at squalid surroundings as they've undergone a transformation through loopy joy and the skewed perception of the protagonist who is quietly, yet ecstatically wrecked by love: "It's a beautiful morning in the ghetto/Finer than the day before/The ants are crawling over my pants as if to say/they know where the honey is..." The heart of everyday life is illustrated in images of children crying on buses, high growing weeds that bear witness to "birds of paradise" in gentle singsong style that is illuminated by a shimmering B3, French horn, bells, guitars, and more. The title track is a slippery, rhythmically complex jazz tune. The drums swing, all cymbals and sheen, against the vocal. A human whistle sounds gaily from the margin. Holland refuses depression's darkness in her vocal as a four-note piano vamp in between refrain and verse, gives her fuel: "Don't you see we're all hurt the same way? So get out, get out of your house....If you don't go get what you need/Something's going to break on the inside..." A baritone horn plays an interlude in unison with that whistle to underscore this small but revelatory truth. "Stubborn Beast," is a skeletal songwriter's manifesto, set to a country waltz with Keith Carey's lap steel and a brushed drum kit lifting the guitars and vocals; it's a confessional shoulder shrug. "Ghostly Girl" is a country song from the other side of closing time, sung by the performer in the mirror in a cheap hotel. It's sad, wistful, and resigned. "Mexican Blue," another love song, closes the set. Holland's poetic lyric embraces everything in images -- "I saw you riding on your bike/In a corduroy jacket in the night/Past the hydrangeas blooming in the alley...When I lay beside you in the sleepless night/And when you dreamed my guardian spirits appeared..." -- a tiny glockenspiel enters, and underscores the wonder and gratitude in the verse. Electric guitars come razor-like and wind their way in; Holland's voice greets them mid-swell near the end: "I'll remember all the dreams and mysteries/You have born in your crystalline soul/That you sing from your golden throat/That you shine from your sparkling eyes/That you feel from the goddess in your thighs/You're like a saint's song to me..." And after its final words, it just ends. Springtime Can Kill You holds all of its stories, emotions and contradictions, like a multi-colored, roughly stitched quilt, made from well-worn blankets, shirts, and pants. It offers comfort, strength, and warmth, collecting all the stories that came and went, leaving something of themselves behind .
Thom Jurek - All Music Guide
ZERO MAG If Fiona Apple were a country singer, she'd sound a bit like Jolie Holland. But Ms. Holland is not a country singer — that's simply one of her many modes — and just as often she summons the voices of Ma Rainey and Billie Holiday. Holland is rooted in the folk troubadour singer-songwriter tradition, but her music bleeds into blues, jazz, and soul. She's a lot younger than she sounds on Springtime Can Kill You, as she's got both the universal perspective and the sturdy countenance of a more mature musician. Her third full-length (all on Anti-) finds her continuing her sultry path through the history of American music. If anything, she's quieted down even more with this effort, playing less gospel and swing and more country, blues, and vocal jazz than on her previous releases. The album's title embodies its dark spirit, as do song names like "Crush in the Ghetto," "You're Not Satisfied," and "Nothing Left to Do But Dream." The darkness of the past can shed light on the future, and nothing accomplishes this better than music. Nate Seltenrich
NPR Song Of The Day May 3, 2006 • Many of Jolie Holland's fatalistic, woozily paced songs come with a body count, but she rarely spares herself: She often sings about doomed lovers, and she ranks topmost among the damned. Roughly as cheerful as its title suggests, Springtime Can Kill You finds Holland falling prey to her own stubbornness, sullenness or drunkenness in song after song. The album's title track even locates the sad underbelly of a season ordinarily associated with rebirth and renewal. For every blooming rose and swooning lover, she notes, there's a sad wallflower done in by missed opportunities. "You don't have the time for the least hesitation," she sings, commanding, "Get out of your house." In its own way, however, "Springtime Can Kill You" comes as close as Holland gets to writing an inspirational anthem, as she uses herself as a cautionary example ("Springtime can kill you / just like it did poor me") for those who opt to stay indoors. Holland may be beyond salvation here, but not everyone is doomed to the same fate: "High on the moonshine, bodies entwine / Don't you see it's better this way?" The sentiment may be sad, but it says something for the season that it inspires Holland to find a ray of hope -- for everyone else, anyway.
WESTWORD---Jason Heller 5/4/06 Witches have their familiars. Jolie Holland has whole hosts of critters dwelling within the dipping fleurs-de-lis and Rococo ruffles of her music. Most of them are winged, but as Holland reminds us with the title of her third full-length, Springtime Can Kill You, airborne beasts such as ghosts, mockingbirds and memories are dangerous things to pin down. Of course, that doesn't stop her from netting the flightier denizens of her soul and locking them in twelve exquisite, gilded cages; the dozen songs of Springtime span anguish and transcendentally drunken sex as easily as the everyday epiphanies of bus rides and back-road drives. This time around, Holland has fattened her sparse folk jazz and malnourished waltzes with a flock of backup players (including songwriter David Dondero, who duets celestially with her on You're Not Satisfied) and crafted the most stunning, spellbinding work of her career. As for her voice, its haunting coo is still enough to call the birds from the trees -- or the ache out of hearts. NO DEPRESSION—May/June 2006 Kurt B. Reighley
Perhaps you've heard about the Music Genome Project, a huge undertaking wherin researchers are breaking millions of recordings down into their core components – timbres, tempos, rhythms, etc. – and cross-referencing all the information. Its most practical application allows an individual to enter an artist they like, then receive recommendations of other acts with overlapping sensibilities. If there is an album that could stump the MGP, Springtime Can Kill You, the third full-legnth from Bay Area singer-songwriter Jolie Holland, is surely it. Aside from Holland's amber voice and lazy diction, there is breathtaking (in the best sense)disparity between the disc's twelve selections. "Stubborn Beast" suggests the sort of cabaret songs from between the Great Wars once peddled by Lenya and Dietrich, while the country-tinged Moonshiner" is shot through with bittersweet slide guitar. The title track, despite its fatal implications, is a light and lively jazz tune, propelled by flittering cymbals, quick strums, and an air of barely suppressed agitation. What unifies the disc, besides that bewitching voice, is Holland's commitment to small yet varied ensembles (including, but not limited to, piano, muted brass and accordion), and recurring lyrics about heartache. But the loose story of a protagonist who feels like the queen of mass transit ("Crush In The Ghetto") one moment, and devastated the next (the chilling, bare-bones "Ghostly Girl"), constitutes only a fraction of the record's mercurial appeal. What makes Springtime ultimately so gripping is the way Holland, her characters and her music refuse to be broken –or broken down – as easily as most contemporary recordings.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY A On her 2002 demo, Catalpa, and 2004's Escondida, this wandering American singer-songwriter was an original in search of something she hadn't quite found yet. Here she finds it. That exquisitely strange voice—part Billie Holiday, part tipsy gypsy in a Czech beer bar—becomes a garden of vinelike phrases and oozing vowels and birdlike whistles. And her band breathes along like a ventilator with brushed drums, pump organ, lap steel, and horns. Proof folk music shouldn't just conjure the past, but also sit down and have a drink with it in the present.

Stomp is an extraordinary dance group that uses body and different objects to create unusual performances. This kind of performance is known as physical theatre.
Steve McNicholas and Luke Cresswell formed Stomp in 1991 in the United Kingdom. Currently there are several Stomp formations performing around the world. Most of the shows are played in North America and Europe. Although the show is very tightly choreographed and orchestrated, every performance is different and has own style. The formation usually includes eight artists who use everything from plastic bags, trash can lids and even a kitchen sink to hammer out a good rhythm. The show is a unique mixture between theatre, comedy and dance, united by the rhythm.
Besides the large number of live performances, for all the fans around the world the group released several home projects. Stomp Out Loud DVD was a special HBO performance, recorded in Manhattan. It was 4 times Emmy-nominated and combined the very best of stage show with new and re-choreographed pieces especially for TV. The DVD included the Academy Award nominated cinema short Brooms.
The production Stomp Rhythms of the World (US Title - Pulse: a Stomp Odyssey) was released on CD and DVD in 2006. It was a large format movie, made for IMAX theatres worldwide. From New York City to the American South West, Africa, South America and Europe this was a vivid toe-tapping experience.
In 2008 the DVD recording Stomp Live was released. This was the first time an entire show had been captured. The performance was recorded at the Brighton Dome in Brighton, UK, with a cast that combined performers from across the globe.
2011 marked 20 years of Stomp, from its humble beginnings at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1991, through almost 18 years in New York, 10 Years in the West End, a Las Vegas special and with 5 productions currently around the world.

"The show was great. I have to tell you I was a little worried about buying tix on line.... I was imagining that my daughter would get to the show and find out the tickets were duplicates or something. I was very happy they weren't and I would definitely purchase tickets through your website in the future."

Warranty Information
Our Warrantees are Simple & Easily Affordable!When YOUR CAR, TRUCK, or COMMERCIAL use vehicle is Covered, YOU DON'T PAY for repairs!!
FACTORY REPLACEMENT COVERAGE (Luxury & Economy)
Factory Like Coverage is just like it sounds -- a warranty that covers your automobile similar to when the auto was purchased brand new. It also features unlimited mileage something that most factory warranties won't give. This is an "exclusionary" policy, which in laymans terms means a policy where we tell you what isn't covered, and everything else is. As you can imagine, this is the best type of coverage money can buy.
Factory Like Coverage covers the reasonable cost to remedy any operating mechanical or electrical failure of the vehicle, for the time indicated on the contract application, except as specified as excluded, subject to the provisions, terms and conditions of this contract.
As you can clearly see, coverage of any operating mechanical or electrical failure essentially mimics the factory warranty. Standard exclusions such as fabric convertible tops, brake pads, tires, etc., do apply.
In addition to the Factory Like Coverage being the best coverage available, you can customize your coverage with coverage up to ten years from the time of purchase, and four deductible choices starting at $50, $100, $200, and $500.
- Unlimited Mileage
- Factory style coverage
- Minimal exclusions
- $50, $100, $200, and $500 deductible choices
- Freedom to get repairs done anywhere (from factory dealers to local specialized mechanics)
- QuickClaims service and Online Claim filing
- Backed by a nationally recognized underwriter
- Accessory packages available to cover wear, leather, and pre-paid maintenance
- Long or short contracts, from 1 year to 5 years of coverage
In order to qualify for Factory Coverage your vehicle must be:

EXOTIC COVERAGE (Inclusionary)
Exotic Coverage is a fantastic alternative to Factory Exotic Coverage. It is an "inclusionary policy", which means we list all of the components covered. Covered components include items from the engine, transmission, front wheel drive, rear wheel drive, fuel system, electronics, cooling, etc. We like to say that it covers the "mission critical" components, and then some. It features unlimited mileage just like Factory Exotic Coverage. As expected, you have the same deductible choices of $100, $250 and $500.

People really need to check their electric bills for the actual rates being charged.
After First Energy Solutions bombarded me with price offers last year, I changed my electricity supplier to First Energy from WestPenn Power. Since then, my bill has become excessively high.
I called WestPenn Power to inquire about the pricing. Meanwhile, my electric bill says that for me to save money, the supplier's price must be lower, which First Energy's current price to me isn't.
Now I regret having switched.
According to First Energy, there will be a fee of $150 to switch back to WestPenn Power as supplier. But there was no fee to switch to First Energy.
All considered, I feel I have been taken advantage of.
Perhaps, by me writing this letter, others will be careful before making any changes.
