When it comes to the things that can make or break an occasion, couple of are as important as the quality, flavor and look of the food and beverages you serve. A lot is riding on your decision which catering service to work with, and if you believe this decision actually isn't that important, take a look at it in this manner, remarkable catering can save an event that's on the rocks, but bad catering will usually send out visitors to the doors.
In addition, since catering is often the # 1 or # 2 line-item expense for most events, the caterer you select is also a substantial financial decision and can influence just how much money you have left over to invest in other areas depending on food expenses and amounts.
Include that caterers can vary dramatically in their prices and the kinds of meals and services they use, and the procedure of selecting a caterer can figuratively and literally feel like you are comparing apples to oranges.
Of all the event and catering professionals we talked with, this showed up over and over and over again, mainly due to the fact that how responsive and interested a caterer is throughout your preliminary discussions is a sign of how they will perform throughout the length of their contract with you (and more on contracts later).
A potential catering service ought to be discovering as much as they can about you in your first couple of conversations with them, so you must expect them to be talking and asking concerns about 20% of the time and you supplying responses and outlining your requirements about 80% of the time.
Not every catering service is best or every type of event, and many catering services themselves honestly confess this.
So when interviewing your Eaglemont caterers (and you ought to speak to at least 3 catering services for any event with an affordable budget plan), you have to specify about the kind of occasion you are planning and the type of food and/or presentation you are anticipating. Otherwise, you might wind up picking a catering service who just isn't really a great fit for the type or style of your occasion.
Almost every catering service has a standard menu or menus to pick from, and lots of do supply some level of built-in versatility to adapt these menus to your particular needs by substituting specific items and/or personalizing others.
Nevertheless, the standout caterers will go beyond standardized menu alternatives and be willing to develop fantastic fare that matches a lot more specific style and dietary requirements.
How will you ever know exactly what a catering service can do unless you sample their goods? And more specifically, how will you understand what the menu items you are thinking about will taste like unless you particularly try them?
Some people shy away from asking to sample the particular items they desire for their occasion due to the fact that it seems like an inconvenience for the catering service, but it is standard to request for a sampling of what you are meaning to order before you sign on the dotted line.
In addition, you can ask for wine parings for these tastings if they are appropriate for your occasion (again, be prepared to pay a fee, it's a small cost to pay to guarantee you select the best catering service). And when you are tasting the food, also take care of how it exists, as any caterer who puts in the time to effectively show a sample will most likely be more likely to make that kind of effort on your event day.
You might be in for a surprise if you employ a BBQ take-out joint to cater an official ballroom fundraiser. Or if you choose a high-end business event catering service to serve a barn wedding. Why? Due to the fact that these catering services might not be accustomed to preparing and serving food in such a setting.
Much more traditional venues can also have restrictions that catering services must follow, like particular setup standards or disposal restrictions for waste food and water, so having a catering service that is familiar with a location's rules can potentially save you lots of trouble on event day.
The catering service's contract should plainly spell out exactly what food, drinks and services the catering service will be supplying on the designated day( s). Furthermore, it ought to secure you from non-performance as much as it protects the caterer from non-payment/default, so you may wish to consider having a lawyer} look at it prior to you sign it.
Every detail ought to be included in the agreement, consisted of selected menus, number of servings and/or people to be served, beverage/bar service information (if relevant) and all prices and additional services.
No caterer in Eaglemont with a shred of self-respect and scruples participates in an agreement with plans to bail at the last minute, however you have to make sure there is a cancellation provision in your contract simply in case your caterer has to cancel.
Naturally you will need to look into the caterers in Eaglemont you are considering, and it's always excellent to start online and check out sites.
However, don't stop there, as online reviews are not always trusted (or perhaps authentic); for instance, a good caterer may have had a couple of nightmare/hater clients who alter their ratings, while a truly average caterer may have padded their online reviews. So see if you can track down some previous clients of the catering services you are considering and reach out to them.
Every catering service we talked to called insurance protection "an offered" for caterers, and you certainly do not wish to legally be on the hook for some oversight or mishap that was the fault of your caterer.
Remarkably, the length of time a catering business in Eaglemont has actually been in business may not be as crucial in selecting a fantastic caterer as you may think.

Open data is key to a transparent, accountable, participatory, and collaborative open government. The 2nd U.S. Open Government National Action Plan called to expand U.S. open data by: managing government data as a strategic asset, launching an improved Data.gov, opening agriculture and nutrition data, and opening natural disaster-related data to support response and recovery efforts. In concert with fulfilling these commitments, the U.S. government has been moving the needle forward every day toward open and machine-readable being the default for government information. You can follow agency progress on Data.gov/Metrics and on the Project Open Data Dashboard, and provide data feedback and requests at Data.gov/Contact.
Now, on the verge of the 3rd National Action Plan, we need your input on what open data commitments (including tools, policy, and data) are specifically needed and should be a key priority for open government over the next year. Read more about how you can contribute to the entire 3rd Open Government National Action Plan below.
Since the United States joined the Open Government Partnership in 2011, U.S. agencies have been working alongside civil society to develop and implement commitments to increase transparency, improve participation, and curb corruption. From making it easier to track how taxpayer dollars are spent by opening Federal spending data, to offering the We the People online petition where the public can propose U.S. policy changes, to strengthening efforts to deny safe haven in the U.S. to corrupt individuals, our efforts to advance open government are making an impact.
Consistent with the commitment to the Open Government Partnership, later this year the United States plans to publish a third Open Government National Action Plan (NAP) that will include new and expanded open government initiatives to pursue in the next two years. The first U.S. NAP was published in 2011, and in 2013, the second NAP was published and is still being implemented through the end of 2015.
These plans are a true team effort as governments from all 65 OGP countries work alongside civil society to develop and implement the efforts within the plans. Over the next several months, we encourage you to contribute your ideas and work with us to build an ambitious third National Action Plan!
You may wish to suggest expanded commitments on topic areas from the first two plans such as public participation, open data, records management, natural resource revenue transparency, the Freedom of Information Act, open innovation, or open educational resources, among others. You may also wish to suggest entirely new initiatives — and we hope you do!
Measurable: allowing independent observers to gauge whether the commitment has been completed.
As you suggest possible initiatives for the next NAP to help ensure the United States pursues bold, ambitious efforts, please tell us how those suggestions would achieve these criteria.
We look forward to working together as we update our roadmap for open government in the United States. Join us!
How do I go about becoming a contributor of data?

"Дъ Шин" () е грузинско джаз трио, сформирано в Германия през 1998 година. Името на триото на грузински (შინ) означава "пътят към вкъщи", което свидетелства за целта на музиката им. Изпълняват джаз и етно джаз, но определят своя стил като "иберо-кавказки джаз", съчетаващ импровизации, народна музика и грузински вокали.

В своята родина "Дъ Шин" са една от най-известните джаз групи. От 1994 година живеят и работят в Германия (с изключение на Мамука Гаганидзе, присъединил се през 2002 година), а самата група е сформирана четири години по-късно. Участват на джаз фестивали в над 30 страни и получават редица награди. През 1992 година Заза Миминошвили е признат за най-добър джаз китарист на Грузия.

Членовете на групата са написали музиката към някои постановки на Тбилиския държавен театър, както и за филмови, телевизионни и радио продукции във и извън родна Грузия. Сътрудничат си с върхови имена в изкуството, сред които Гия Канчели, Роберт Стуруа, Хорхе Пардо, Джора Файдман, Чака Кан, Ранди Брекър, Окай Темиз, българина Теодосий Спасов и други.

За следващите няколко години издават два албума – "Es Ari" и "Black Sea Fire" (2009). Другите албуми от дискографията им са "Tseruli" (1999), "Ibero-Caucasian Style" (2003), "Manytimer" (2005), "EgAri" (2006) и "Extraordinary Exhibition" (2013).

Заедно с певицата Марико Ебралидзе представят Грузия на песенния конкурс "Евровизия 2014", проведен в Копенхаген.

MILFORD — The Howard Johnson Lodge and Friendly's restaurant at 1040 and 1052 Boston Post Road will be demolished, and a Fairfield Inn, a Floor and Decor store and a small retail store will take their place.
The Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously at its Jan. 2 meeting to approve two applications from Turnpike Lodge LLC and Connecticut Foods Inc. for work in the Interchange Commerical District.
Philip C. Craft of Easton is president of both companies.
One approval narrows from 50 to 40 feet the landscape buffer between the property and the adjacent Forest Park condominiums on a hill to the rear. The other vote approved the special permit and site plan which included merging the two properties into one 8.25-acre parcel.
The board approved the project with two conditions: relocation of a 13-foot by 9-foot building that houses utilities, currently in the buffer zone; the second calls for using exterior materials for the hotel that meet the board's architectural standards. The project garnered no public comment.
Architect Patrick Rose said the new hotel will have 108 rooms on four floors with 26 suites and 82 standard hotel rooms. Amenities will be located on the first floor including a breakfast room, a fitness center and an indoor pool.
There will be 279 parking spaces for the site. Rose said there is a 20 to 30 foot difference in grade between the commercial property and the adjacent residential property.
Waterford operates two existing Marriott properties in Milford, the Residence Inn and Spring Hill Suites on Rowe Avenue. The company also operates a Courtyard by Marriott in Orange.
Julie Starzynski, construction design and project manager for Floor and Décor, said the company is "looking to break into the northeast." Starzynski said the company's nearest store is Farmingdale, N.Y., and its only New England store is in Avon, Mass. The Milford store will be about 75,000 square feet.
Starzynski said the company recently opened its 100th store, which is in California. According to its website, the Atlanta-based company started in 2000, and sells hard surface flooring materials, including tile, wood, stone and related tools and flooring accessories. She said contractors represent about 40 to 60 percent of its business.
David Bjorklund, civil engineer for the project, said a loop road around the property would lead to a loading dock for Floor and Décor that will be screened from the residential area.
The 279-car parking lot will include amenities, including charging stations and bike racks.
Matthew Popp, landscape architect, said there would be a 30- to 40-foot wide landscape buffer between the hotel and the retail uses. Popp said the project has 63 shade trees where 56 are required, along with 18 heritage birch trees, which he termed "borderline shade trees," 34 flowering trees, and 25 evergreen trees, including Norway spruce trees, and 35 red cedar trees along the back of the property.
Traffic engineer David Sullivan said the project would add 130 new trips during the peak weekday afternoon hour and 200 trips during the Saturday peak hour.
The Floor and Décor store will be at the rear of the property near Forest Park, while the Fairfield Inn would be near the adjacent Hooter's restaurant; the retail building would be located adjacent to the Olympia Diner property.

EIGHTEENTH SIGN
The greatest miracle of Allah's Noble Messenger (Upon whom be blessings and peace), an eternal one, is the All-Wise Qur'an, which comprises hundreds of evidences of his prophethood, and forty aspects of whose own miraculousness have been proven.

Therefore, referring that supreme miracle, a treasury of miracles, to that Word, here we shall explain only one or two points.
First Point: The levels of people in understanding themiraculousness of the Quran.
Second Point: The Quran challenging the people of knowledge and understanding.

Is the Qur'an Alive? If it is alive then what is meant by it? Can we call the Qur'an "the Spirit"?
First Point: The levels of people in understanding the miraculousness of the Quran.

Q: Regular Expression does not match test string Why does the following regex not match the following text?
Regex:
\[\]\s\[(:?error|\S+:\S+)\]( \[pid \d+(:\S+ \d+)?\])? \[client <HOST>(:\d{1,5})?\] ModSecurity:\s+(?:\[(?:\w+ \"[^\"]*\"|[^\]]*)\]\s*)*Access denied with code [45]\d\d

Test string:
[Sun Mar 15 22:28:19.733272 2018] [:error] [pid 11954] [client 188.191.122.27:62165] [client 188.191.122.27] ModSecurity: Access denied with code 403 (phase 2). Operator GE matched 4 at TX:anomaly_score. [file ".../modsecurity.d/owasp-modsecurity-crs/rules/REQUEST-949-BLOCKING-EVALUATION.conf"] [line "57"] [id "949110"] [msg "Inbound Anomaly Score Exceeded (Total Score: 5)"] [severity "CRITICAL"] [tag "application-multi"] [tag "language-multi"] [tag "platform-multi"] [tag "attack-generic"] [hostname "63.60.128.135"] [uri "/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/index.php"] [unique_id "W0uuY3C8AA4EAA5OC7wBAAAH"]

This is a predefined rule from fail2ban and a random apache log entry with changed addresses.
At first, I thought that the mistake is that the client is logged twice, so I changed the client line:
(\[client <HOST>(:\d{1,5})?\])+

But that didn't seem to work either.
Just to get things clear:
 Regular expressions (failregex, ignoreregex) assume that the date/time has been removed from the log line (this is just how fail2ban works internally ATM).

 If the format is like "<date...> error 1.2.3.4 is evil" then you need to match the < at the start so regex should be similar to "^<> <HOST> is evil$" using <HOST> where the IP/domain name appears in the log line.

(Taken from the fail2ban docs: https://fail2ban.readthedocs.io/en/latest/filters.html) (I wrote this as code because stackoverflow seems to have problems with displaying specific characters in quotes.)
I am more or less new to regular expressions, so thanks for any help.

A: You were close. When you added the repeating group for multiple clients, you didn't include the space that separates them in it.
\[\]\s\[(:?error|\S+:\S+)\]( \[pid \d+(:\S+ \d+)?\])?( \[client <HOST>(:\d{1,5})?\])+ ModSecurity:\s+(?:\[(?:\w+ \"[^\"]*\"|[^\]]*)\]\s*)*Access denied with code [45]\d\d

Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs – learn how to make hard boiled eggs easily and quickly in your Instant Pot! This simple, quick and proven method makes perfect, easy-to-peel eggs every single time.
This recipe is what you need if you're short on time, looking to make deviled eggs, or adding it to a meal prep box such as my Easy Protein Bistro Snack Box!
When I first got married, I wanted to do everything myself. I wanted to learn how to make almond milk, cashew milk, nut butter, and so forth. So naturally, I tried my hand at making my own deviled eggs for a party. I'll never forget the times I had tried and failed at making those perfectly cooked, unblemished hard boiled eggs. Oh, the frustration with trying to peel them gently, only to pull chunks of egg white off. Or they would simply come apart.
Who wants to serve chunky-looking deviled eggs?? Not this girl! Needless to say, I tried and tried, only to fail and give up. I wasn't wasteful, I turned those disastrous-looking eggs into egg salad! HA! 😀 Then I tried it in my new Instant Pot and let me just say – I will never make them any other way.
The Instant Pot is the way to go! Trust me on this.
PERFECT HARD BOILED EGGS- finally!
This method is truly fool-proof. I promise you that. You don't have to keep an eye on the stove, you don't have to worry about under-cooked or over-cooked hard boiled eggs, and (if you're like the old me) you no longer have to worry about peeling chunks of the egg white off as you peel!
– then you can easily make the best Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs every time!
Full, printable directions available in the recipe card below!
Place the steamer basket that came with your Instant Pot inside the pot.
Add 1 1/2 to 2 cups of water to the pot. The level of the water should rest just below the steamer basket.
Add cold eggs to the pot (1-12 eggs) onto the steamer basket in a single layer, avoiding stacking and making sure there is space between each one.
Close the lid and set the steam valve to the "sealed" position.
Select the Pressure Cook option, on HIGH, and set the timer for 5 minutes.
The pot will take 5-6 minutes to come to pressure before it starts to cook. When the timer goes off, allow for a 5 minute natural release before doing a quick release.
Carefully remove the lid once all the pressure has left the pot.
You can either safely remove the pot from the cooker using potholders and add a good amount of ice to the pot (essentially only using the pot to cook and cool) OR you can individually remove each egg to a large bowl of ice water using a slotted spoon.
Change out the water or add more ice, as needed, until the eggs are thoroughly cooled.
Lightly tap the ends and edges of the shell to crack and begin peeling!
And there you have it – easy, quick and perfect hard boiled eggs in 15 minutes! These will keep in the fridge for up to one week. They are great to have on hand for salads, as a grab-n-go breakfast or snack option, to make deviled eggs, or for whatever your heart fancies!
Learn how to quickly and easily make hard boiled eggs in your Instant Pot in 15 minutes! A wonderful proven method you will use time and again.
Add the steamer rack to the bottom of the pot and pour in water needed. Water level should rest below the rack.
Add the eggs to the pot onto the steamer basket in a single layer, avoiding stacking and making sure there is space between each one.
Select the Pressure Cook option, on HIGH, and set the time for 5 minutes. Do a natural 5 minute release, followed by a quick release. Quickly remove the eggs from the pot with a slotted spoon to a large bowl of icy water to cool. Peel as soon as the eggs have completely cooled.
Select the Pressure Cook option, on HIGH, and set the time for 3 minutes, followed by a careful quick release. Quickly remove the eggs from the pot with a slotted spoon to a large bowl of icy water to cool. Peel as soon as the eggs have completely cooled.

What does the fading El Niño weather pattern mean for Dallas-Fort Worth?
What could neutral conditions mean for Dallas-Fort Worth? It could mean an increase in tropical activity, according to Matt Bishop, a National Weather Service meteorologist.
A rainbow appears over downtown Dallas after rain showers passed through during Klyde Warren Park's Independence Day Celebration on June 29.
By Jesus Jimenez
6:56 PM on Jul 17, 2019
An El Niño that formed in February and lingered into the summer is starting to weaken, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The fading El Niño could bring some extra rain to North Texas from the Gulf of Mexico — but nothing like what the area saw last fall.
El Niño and its counterpart, La Niña, are climate patterns that can affect weather around the world. They usually appear every two to seven years. El Niños are characterized by above-average temperatures in the Pacific Ocean. La Niñas bring below-average temperatures.
In the southern U.S., El Niño patterns generally mean wetter weather, which North Texas saw in June, mostly in the form of strong storms.
Temperatures in the Pacific are still above average, but they have dropped, according to the NOAA. The latest measurements showed that temperatures in the Pacific were 0.6 degrees Celsius above normal — slightly above the 0.5-degree threshold for El Niño conditions. Temperatures are expected to continue to decrease within the next two months until they reach neutral.
The latest ENSO outlook is out from @NWSCPC. ENSO blogger Emily Becker has all of the details on how El Niño conditions are likely to transition to neutral within a month or two, and even what's in store for the rest of 2019?https://t.co/tJhjnqS9HP pic.twitter.com/FAaLNVcoyK
— NOAA Climate.gov (@NOAAClimate) July 11, 2019
Between 1995 and 2016, there was an increase in Atlantic hurricane activity in years when either neutral or La Niña conditions were present, according to The Weather Channel. This is because interactions in the atmosphere change wind directions and speeds that can favor an increase in tropical activity in the Atlantic Ocean.
Typically any hurricanes or tropical storms that enter the Gulf of Mexico weaken before they arrive in North Texas, bringing some additional rainfall at most, but Bishop said even a slight increase in tropical activity is something to keep an eye on.
"Anything that enters the Gulf we know we need to watch out for," Bishop said.
Once neutral conditions in the Pacific develop, those conditions are expected to continue through the fall and winter.

— The Weather Channel (@weatherchannel) July 15, 2019
Once hurricane season winds down, neutral conditions could mean precipitation and temperatures that are closer to normal, according to KXAS-TV (NBC5) meteorologist Samantha Davies.
"During an El Niño year, Texas typically sees a cooler and wetter winter," Davies said. "With El Niño transitioning to natural phase conditions, [we] would be near normal in Texas this fall and winter."
Normal conditions could mean Dallas-Fort Worth is unlikely to see a repeat of last fall, when the area saw a record-breaking 29.21 inches of rain, Bishop said. Last fall was the wettest on record in Dallas-Fort Worth, and 2018 was the third-wettest calendar year on record, according to the weather service.
"That doesn't mean we won't see some flooding here and there," Bishop cautioned.
On average during September and November, Dallas-Fort Worth records 9.47 inches of rain, according to the Weather Service. Average high temperatures during September are usually in the upper 80s before dropping into the mid-60s by October.

TEHRAN (FNA)- Tehran's provisional Friday Prayers Leader Hojjatoleslam Kazzem Seddiqi ruled out any possibility for any other talks between Tehran and Washington.
Addressing a large and fervent congregation of the people in Tehran on Friday, Hojjatoleslam Seddiqi said, "The US president cannot be referred to as human, he is a wolf disguising as a man; we have seen their violation of the JCPOA; they are not in a position to hold talks with."
He reminded that as Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei has said, the US Department of Treasury is now operating as a war room against Iran, implying that the offer of talks by a country that is at war with Iran is nothing but hypocrisy.
On May 8, US President Donald Trump announced that Washington would pull out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and reinstate nuclear sanctions against Iran.
However, most world powers, including Russia, China, and the European Union have repeatedly stressed that keeping the deal is in the interest of the world peace and security.

#50 Rutgers Football 2015 Preview
Overall Rank: #50
#9 Big Ten
Rutgers Team Page Buy Rutgers Football Tickets
Rutgers debut season in the Big Ten went just as well as anybody could have reasonably expected. The Scarlet Knights won five of their first six games, culminating with a 26-24 victory over Michigan. Even at that point, many figured Rutgers would end up 5-7 on the year with the toughest Big Ten teams still on the schedule. Rutgers did lose to Ohio State, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Michigan State quite handily, but they did manage to beat Indiana and Maryland. The result was a trip to the Quick Lane Bowl against North Carolina, where Rutgers added another win.
2014 Record: 8-5, 3-5
2014 Bowl: Quick Lane Bowl vs. North Carolina (W 40-21)
Coach: Kyle Flood (23-16 at Rutgers, 23-16 overall)
Offensive Coordinator: Ben McDaniels
Defensive Coordinator: Joe Rossi
Rushing: Desmond Peoples, RB, 474 yards
Passing: Chris Laviano, QB, 107 yards
Receiving: Leonte Carroo, WR, 1,086 yards
Tackles: Steve Longa, LB, 102
Sacks: Kemoko Turay, DE, 7.5
Interceptions: Anthony Cioffi, DB, 2
Other Key Returnees: RB Josh Hicks, RB Robert Martin, RB Paul James, RB Justin Goodwin, WR Janarion Grant, K Kyle Federico, LB Quentin Gause, DT Darius Hamilton
Key Losses: QB Gary Nova, TE Tyler Kroft, OL Kaleb Johnson, DB Lorenzo Waters, LB Kevin Snyder, DE David Milewski, DB Gareef Glashen
Rutgers needs to replace four-year starting quarterback Gary Nova. He had a wonderful, albeit inconsistent, career with the Scarlet Knights and threw for 2,851 yards and 22 touchdowns during his senior campaign. Nova's backup in 2014, Chris Laviano, will battle with LSU transfer Hayden Rettig for the starting job. Laviano appears the favorite heading into the fall, but Rettig will get another opportunity to win the job. Whoever is under center will have a lot to work with. Leonte Carroo could have gone to the NFL early after catching 55 passes for 1,086 yards and ten touchdowns. Janarion Grant and Andre Patton are solid secondary options opposite of Carroo. At running back, Rutgers has a wealth of experience. Paul James played very well before his 2014 season was cut short by injury. He rushed for 363 yards and five touchdowns in fewer than four games. Desmon Peoples actually led the team in rushing with 447 yards. Junior Justin Goodwin added 328 yards. However, the most promising backs are sophomores Robert Martin and Josh Hicks. Martin barely saw the field until November, yet still managed to rush for 434 yards and seven touchdowns. In the bowl game he rushed for 100 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries. Hicks also had 19 carries in the bowl game and totaled 202 yards and score.
Weaknesses:
The Rutgers defense ranked second to last in the conference allowing 442.8 yards per contest. There is a long way to go to compete with the better teams in the conference. Ohio State dropped 56 points on the Scarlet Knights. Nebraska scored 42, Wisconsin 37 and Michigan State 45. Hopes largely lie on Kemoko Turay, who recorded 7.5 sacks as a freshman. He will team up with tackle Darius Hamilton to provide Rutgers a couple playmakers in the front four. Linebacker Steve Longa is the playmaker at linebacker. He recorded 102 tackles in 2014. Nadir Barnwell is an experienced cornerback who can give Big Ten receivers trouble.
Reaching eight wins again might be a stretch for Rutgers. Home games against Michigan State, Ohio State and Nebraska will be tough. Non-conference games against Norfolk State, Washington State, Kansas and Army should keep Rutgers in the mix for a bowl game though. However, the Scarlet Knights will need to pick up a win or two on the road against teams like Penn State, Indiana and Michigan. This group has the talent to pull it off and should be able to reach six or seven wins and make their fifth straight bowl game.
Projected Bowl: Heart of Dallas Bowl
Rushing Offense: 162.6 (63rd in nation, 9th in conference)
Passing Offense: 227.4 (68, 6)
Total Offense: 390.0 (73, 7)
Scoring Offense: 26.7 (80, 8)
Rushing Defense: 212.3 (106, 13)
Pass Defense: 230.5 (69, 12)

Set Different Date Ranges For Each Widget!
You can now set different date ranges for each individual widget!
A lot of customers have asked for this lately, so our development team have worked hard to make it happen.
To set different widget date ranges in custom dashboards and reports, simply go to the widget's settings.
It's that simple! This new feature is available right now in your account, so you can start using it right away.
Show your current data vs. all-time data, to quickly give clients a more complete picture of their online presence.
Instantly see today's data compared to yesterday, or the current month versus previous month, to show your ongoing improvements.
Compare this quarter to last quarter, for a bigger picture overview.
Mix and match all of the above, to build hyper-custom reports and dashboards!
Of course, the default setting for all widgets will always be the date range you set with our date range selector. Now though, you're free to get even more specific with the data you present to clients!
Read more in today's blog!
We've just rolled out an update to make things clearer when using our "All Time" date range option.
You'll now see the exact date in our date range selector, rather than the words "All Time".
Of course, you can always choose any custom date range to see data from as far back as you need... This includes seeing data prior to when you subscribed to our platform (as long as it's available, of course!).
We've just updated our user management interface to make things even easier!
Creating staff and client user accounts is now easier than. Based on your feedback, we've also added the ability to clone user permissions!
The first thing you'll notice when adding a user is our new wizard-style interface. We've implemented this change to help guide you through each step, so you can be sure you don't miss anything important.
To streamline the process, you'll now use the same button to create both staff and client users, and you'll be prompted to choose the type of user at the beginning of the wizard.
The next screen will look quite familiar: This is where you'll enter your user's details, and email the login credentials to the user if needed.
Next, you can specify exactly which campaigns the user can access. Staff users have an option to automatically access all campaigns, otherwise you'll be able to specify the exact campaign(s) each user can and cannot see. There's also a search box, to make finding campaigns quick and easy.
On the next screen, the new user permission options are definitely going to be exciting for some of you reading this!
You can choose a quick default setting: these are slightly different depending on whether you're creating a staff or a client user.
As usual, you can also dive deep into each feature and integration to specify exactly what the user can access.
Based on popular demand, we've also added the option to clone user permissions. This will make setting up multiple users a breeze, since you'll be able to quickly copy their exact permission settings!
Once you've created those users, we've also added some new options to make editing their permissions much easier. You'll now see three options in the drop-down menu when clicking the edit user button, so you can quickly make the exact changes you need.
Thanks to all of our customers who provided feedback on our user management features. We're always excited to make updates based on your suggestions, so keep them coming! Remember that there are no limits to how many user accounts you can create, so feel free to add every client or staff member who needs access.
Big news! We've just added zip code based rank tracking, the ability to tag keywords when adding them, new keyword research options, and more.
we think you'll be thrilled with today's update, which brings some of your top rank tracking feature suggestions to the AgencyAnalytics platform.
A Brand New "Add Keywords Wizard" Interface"
We've modernized the look and feel of the "Add Keywords" feature by switching from a pop-up window to a full screen "wizard". This change should ensure that adding keywords remains an intuitive and easy to understand process for brand new users while giving us the scalability to add additional features for more advanced users.
The new interface is a multi-step wizard that guides you through each option, making it less likely that you'll miss anything and run into issues!
Steps 1-3 should be familiar to anyone who's used our old "Add Keywords" feature. Step 4 - and some of the exact functions in the other steps - are brand new, and I'll talk about them separately, below.
You read that right! In response to overwhelming demand, you can now track keyword locations down to the ZIP code/postal code level. You're no longer restricted to tracking from the city center of large metropolitan areas! This new feature is a sea change when it comes to fetching granular, hyper-localized rankings for local businesses, and we're stoked to be able to provide it to our customers.
No special instructions required here. Just enter the ZIP code/Postal code as the location being tracked in step 2 of the new "Add Keywords" wizard.
We've added a MUCH more robust keyword suggestions tool. You'll find it in the first screen of the new "Add Keywords" wizard.
In additional to our standard (default) keyword suggestions tool, you can now pull keyword suggestions from SEM Rush, Google Search Console, Google Ads, and Google Analytics Paid Search.
Note that for all of these except for the Default suggestions and SEM Rush, you'll need to connect the associated integration so that we can pull these suggestions from your (or your customers') account.
We would have never realized what an important feature this was to our customer base without your feedback. To everyone who requested or voted for this feature - thank you!
You can now tag keywords at the time that you add them, which saves you from having to try and sort through those keywords to tag them afterward, when they might be buried in a "sea" of other un-tagged keywords. This should take care of a major pain point for our larger agency customers.
In Step 4 of the new "Add Keywords" wizard, just type the tag that you'd like to apply and - if it's a brand new tag - click the Plus (+) button.
So that's everything! We hope that you have as much fun exploring these new features as we had creating them.
Three of our integration partners are making changes which resulted in changes to the AgencyAnalytics platform.
First, Google has shut down the Google Plus platform. It no longer exists. As a result, we've removed the Google+ integration from our system.
Second, Google Search Console has removed crawl errors data from their platform. In turn, we've removed the crawl errors section from that integration.
The good news is that we've be adding "countries" and "devices" data to our GSC integration to take the place of crawl errors.
So in turn, we've updated our system to work with the V2 API.
This change is fairly transparent to customers, other than the fact that everyone using LinkedIn in our platform will need to re-enter their credentials for one campaign to refresh the connection.
We've just added the ability to add a markup or margin percentage to PPC reports!
And that's not all; along with this update, we've also updated the look and feel of our campaign settings screen and added the ability to configure rankings settings prior to adding keywords. More about those items later.
Until now, our reporting pulled in the exact metrics from your PPC accounts, with no option to edit those numbers before they were presented to clients.
This wasn't ideal, because agencies often charge clients a markup on PPC spend. And showing clients the pre-markup numbers just leads to un-necessary questions and misunderstandings.
Over this past quarter, the PPC markup option went from being a feature that we would get an occasional request for, to being one of the most highly requested features across our customer base.
As of today, the agency markup feature is available on all AgencyAnalytics accounts at the Agency ($249/month) plan and above.
If you don't see it in your account yet, please refresh your browser.
To apply the same account-wide markup percentage to all of your client campaigns at once, start in your root campaigns control panel, open the left hand navigation menu, and choose Settings --> General.
In the General Settings screen, scroll to the bottom, enter your markup percentage and click "Save".
What, you thought it was going to be more complicated? Sorry to disappoint!
But what if you want to configure different margin percentages for each client?
To configure a customer-specific margin percentage, navigate to the campaign where you want to apply the markup, click the "gear" icon at the top of your screen, and choose "Edit Campaign".
Scroll down to the bottom of the Campaign Settings screen, enter your PPC margin for this customer, and click "Save".
Note that the campaign level margin settings supercede the account level margin settings.
So you can set margin at the account level, which will apply by default to all campaigns. But then if you have an enterprise client, for example, with whom you've negotiated a custom markup rate, you can configure the custom rate at the campaign level for that client.
The account level margin will stay in place for all other campaigns, while the custom campaign level margin is applied to the enterprise client.
Margin amounts will be applied to the PPC cost metrics in reports by default.
But in the individual integrations, the admin and staff users can toggle back and forth to see cost metrics either with or without margin.
In addition to the PPC Margin feature, we've also made an important adjustment to our keyword ranking settings. Previously, the ranking settings were only accessible AFTER adding keywords.
The issue that this presented was that your first day's worth of rankings were then fetched with the default settings, which could skew the way that looked compared to later rankings fetched with custom settings.
Now, you can access critical rankings settings prior to adding keywords from the "Campaign Settings" area.
So once you've created a campaign, go ahead and enter that campaign, then click the "gear" icon at the top of your screen and choose "Edit Campaign".
Finally, you may have noticed a brand new look and feel for the "Campaign Settings" section that I mentioned above.
What do you think of the PPC Margin option and the other new features? Let us know in the comments!
You can now earn credits toward your AgencyAnalytics membership with our partner program!
In your admin account, click "Settings" in the left-hand control panel navigation, then choose "Partner Program" from the drop down.
In the Partner Program section, you'll find a few important data points.
Coupon: This is the code that customers who you refer will need to enter when they check out in order for you to get a credit. If the customer doesn't enter this code, we can NOT credit you manually.
So when you're telling a friend how much you love AgencyAnalytics and they want to try it for themselves... just be sure that they enter that coupon code that you provided to them when they check out.
You'll get a credit toward your next invoice, and they'll get a 50% discount on their first monthly payment.
Brand new for Enterprise users: Multiple white label profiles in each account!
You can now apply a separate set of logos and brand colors for each individual campaign. No limits. Have 10,000 campaigns? Then you can have 10,000 separate white label profiles.
Account level white labeling settings are still available, and function the same way that they always have. The account level settings are used to configure the custom URL and custom URL landing page. Campaigns without custom white label settings will fall back to the account level white label settings.
Check out this blog post for full details and a walkthrough!
We've just released a host of new Facebook Ads metrics!
As always, the new metrics have been made available within our reports editor as well, under the "gear" icon for any individual widget.
You can now review the engagement level for each individual client, on each individual report.
Status (Delivered/Bounced) Opened Clicked These metrics are shown separately for each individual email address to which the report was sent.
Our hope is that these statistics assist customers with engaging their end users.
Surely AgencyAnalytics will start publishing changelogs very soon.


Using the CDONTS component to send email from ASP pages.
Important Update: CDONTS has been deprecated and is seldom used anymore. Basically, CDOSYS is it's replacement.
With the arrival of IIS4 and the SMTP service of Option Pack 4 it is now fairly easy to send email from Active Server Pages.
The following three examples should give you the basic idea and get you started.
Using CDONTS to send a text based email message.
MyBody = MyBody & "Your stuff will arrive within 7 business days"
Using CDONTS to send a HTML based email message.
You'll get the general idea..notice how you have to add extra double quotes inside the HTML. You can use any valid HTML. Just make sure you link the images back to your webserver so that the recipient doesn't get a broken image. If the recipient's email program doesn't support HTML this is not always a good way to send email, but most do in my experience and if they don't they will still get the message... it will just look kinda strange.
HTML = HTML & ""
HTML = HTML & "<title>Sending CDONTS Email Using HTML</title>"
HTML = HTML & ""
HTML = HTML & ""
HTML = HTML & "
"
HTML = HTML & "Name Of Store
"
HTML = HTML & "Incoming Customer Order
"
HTML = HTML & "
Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla
"
Using CDONTS to send a file attachment and have a Carbon Copy Recipient.
MyBody2 = MyBody2 & "Your stuff will arrive within 7 business days"
When sending an attachment this is just a very simple example. There are certain encoding options and file type settings that you may also want to set.


When the Rev Professor James B. Torrance died at the age of 80 in 2003, Christianity Today magazine chose to highlight three areas of his life of service – 1) he was Professor Emeritus of Systematic Theology at University of Aberdeen in Scotland, 2) he was known as a mentor to other Christian leaders, and 3) he wrote "Worship, Community, and the Triune God of Grace" (IVP, 1997).
He had also been a family man and a pastor, and whether serving in pastoral ministry, teaching theology, writing, or in mentoring others, Torrance was keen on worship and on discussing in simple but profound language the relationship of grace and the continuing priesthood of Jesus in Trinitarian worship.
There is no more urgent need in our churches today than to recover the Trinitarian nature of grace—that it is by grace alone, through the gift of Jesus Christ in the Spirit that we can enter into and live a life of communion with God our Father.
Worship is the gift of participating through the Spirit in the incarnate Son's communion with the Father.
The Father has given to us the Son and the Spirit to draw us into a life of shared communion—of participating through the Spirit in the Son's communion with the Father—that we might be drawn in love into the very Trinitarian life of God himself.
Whatever else our faith is, it is a response to a response already made for us and continually being made for us in Christ, the pioneer of our faith.
In worship we offer ourselves to the Father 'in the name of Christ' because he has already in our name made the one true offering to the Father, the offering by which he has sanctified for all time those who come to God by him (Heb 10:10, 14) and because he ever lives to intercede for us in our name.
(Trinitarian worship) means participating in union with Christ, in what he has done for us once and for all, in his self-offering to the Father, in his life and death on the cross. It also means participating in what he is continuing to do for us in the presence of the Father and in his mission from the Father to the world. When we see that ….. (and) that the unique center of the Bible is Jesus Christ, 'the apostle and high priest whom we confess [Heb 3:1], then the doctrines of the Trinity, the incarnation, the atonement, the ministry of the Spirit, Church and sacraments, our understanding of the kingdom….all unfold from that center.
We are baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit into the community, the one body of Christ, which confesses faith the in the one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and which worships the Father through the Son in the Spirit. We are baptized into a life of communion. The Christian doctrine of the Trinity is the grammar of this participatory understanding of worship and prayer.
(We need to) return to the 'forgotten Trinity' – to an understanding of the Holy Spirit, who delivers us from a narcissistic preoccupation with the self to find our true being in loving communion with God and one another—to hear God's call to us, in our day, to participate through the Spirit in Christ's communion with the Father and his mission from the Father to the world—to create in our day a new humanity of persons who find true fulfillment in other-centered communion and service in the kingdom of God.
The first real step on the road to prayer is to recognize that none of us knows how to pray as we ought to. But as we bring our desires to God, we find that we have someone who is praying for us, with us, and in us. Thereby he teaches us to pray and motivate us to pray and to pray in peace to the Lord. Jesus takes our prayers—our feeble, selfish, inarticulate prayers—he cleanses them, makes them his prayers, and in a 'wonderful exchange' he makes his prayers our prayers and presents us to the Father as his dear children, crying 'Abba Father'.
A trinitarian understanding of "worship" is liberating! It's isn't about how well we perform, it's about participating with the Son, who performs perfectly!
It is so wonderful to participate in what Father, Son and Spirit are doing, knowing that it is not up to us to try to be "good enough" to make it happen! The comfort from being included is Peace.
Well said, Jerome. And Amen as well about the Peace of God in this communion/inclusion.
With the above story about the book by J.B.T., I'm reminded of the larger community of brothers and sisters over thousands of years that we are included in as well -- that because of the love of God known in Jesus, there was an elderly professor in Scotland that was led by the Holy Spirit to combine parts of his lectures and articles into a short book about grace, worship, community and the triune God that draws us into communion. And in doing so J.B.T. of course also refers to those God used to write the scriptures long ago, and refers to the Patristic Fathers and the creeds we are connected to as well. So here we are in 2009 -- brothers and sisters in Christ around the world, being instructed and encouraged by what the Triune God of Grace has done in the lives of those who have long since passed, as the Holy Spirit is leading us to participate in the ministry of Jesus today. What a wonderful story of continuing connection and inclusion as all things are done to the glory of God.

The members of the Fidesz-KDNP Group, who form the majority of the Hódmezővásárhely General Assembly, considered the draft budget presented by Péter Márki-Zay (independent) Mayor unacceptable in content and form, so it was not discussed by the panel at its extraordinary meeting. on Tuesday, that was quorumable, writes MTI.
Tamás Cseri (Fidesz-KDNP) representative of the local government told reporters before the general meeting meeting that the amended budget proposal was unacceptable in both content and form, in some cases the data in the text and the tables did not match.
Zoltán Hegedűs, head of Fidesz-KDNP, said that the city needs a budget that serves all Hódmezővásárhely interests, is economic, enforceable, not accompanied by borrowing and loss of assets. Fidesz has proposed a 30% reduction in building taxes for local businesses, upgrading very poor sidewalks and roads of $ 300 million and upgrading the hospital from two to one billion forint over two years to create two-room climate clinics. He also said that they would not be able to support the privatization, the sale of the possessions of municipal companies and the revival of the city's possessions.
According to Hegedűs, there was a constructive negotiation of the budget between the faction and the mayor, so he is convinced that the budget will be unanimously adopted by the Assembly at the next meeting.
Péter Márki-Zay intends to provide Fidesz-KDNP with a reduction in expenditure and postponement of certain developments, after having mentioned the quorum of the general meeting. The mayor presented the first version of the budget for the meeting of the general meeting on Friday, but the proposal was not on the agenda at that time.

Joe Moss Band at Smoken Joe's BBQ – A Last Bastion Of The Blues In New England
Joe Moss Band Plays The Heart Of The Blues – Smoken Joe's Brighton, MA
Joe Moss plays Smoken Joe's BBQ, Brighton, MA
The night started out with Joe noodling on the guitar signaling the rest of the band to fall into place. They did effortlessly, playing a Memphis shuffle. Greg Sefner, (keys), offered up a screaming solo, right out of the gate, but after the first song, Moss needed to halt things for a moment because he couldn't hear himself. Wendy, the owner, came to the rescue to set the monitor right and there was a lot more guitar and reverb in the room. They hit it nice and funky with "Freedom."
The band played through some originals and standards – numbers that appear on their recordings, like "Cold Hearted," "Have You Ever Loved A Woman," and "Black Boots." Later on, Moss said that the home of the blues may be Chicago, but the heart of the blues was in New England, and charged us with helping keep the blues alive by writing to the new mayor of Boston. Smoken Joe's Barbeque in Brighton is in danger of closing, and needs help. He wanted us to know that venues like this were few and far between and this is one of the only one's in Boston.
With his custom flying-V guitar, Moss offered up incredible runs then settled into a nice soulful number that reminded me of Sam Cooke. Followed by "Ain't Got No Money," featuring the rhythm-section of Dana Thompson (drums) and Mike Zabrin (bass). Zabrin got fancy with some slappy stuff that sounded like seventies sexplotation movie music, his head bobbing back and forth to the beat, and Thompson was phenomenal taking it from a slow shuffle into a high fevered pitch and then bring it back down again and handing it back to Moss and Sefner for a slow walk with high runs that ended abruptly. Suddenly, they were into a groovy cover of "Dirty Low Down."
Moss walked out into the audience and played his guitar suggestively for beautiful women in the club. Singing, "the first time I met you baby, I knew you were the one for me." Moss did his trick of playing the guitar behind his neck a la Jimi Hendricks and again reminded the audience to write to the mayor on Joe and Wendy's behalf to keep Smoken Joe's open. Friends of the band passed a tip jar making it feel like a down home revival with Thompson's gospel drumming. They ended the set with a terrific version of Freddie King's "Hideaway." Buddy Guy has called Moss "Energetic, a strong guitarist, and always a crowd pleaser." And he's not wrong.
Catch them touring while you can.

Elf Power Opens At The Orpheum, Boston, MA
Neutral Milk Hotel shows are sold out almost everywhere. The Orpheum Theatre in Boston was no exception. I was lucky enough to take in the second show on January 17th, 2014. Elf Power opened for NMH, and within a few songs Andrew Reiger (guitar-vocals) engaged the audience. When someone jokingly called out "Freebird," the band looked a little more comfortable for the banter. Reiger ventured further telling a story about one of their better known tunes, "Walking With The Beggar Boys," the title track off their 2004 album by the same name. Reiger composed the song in Warsaw Poland where he befriended beggar-kids that kept him up all night running outside his hotel. It's a tune that has some heft and seemed to center the band locking in their groove.
Elf Power Open for Neutral Milk Hotel at the Orpheum Theatre, Boston, MA
Laura Carter is a multi-instrumentalist indeed, on one song playing a Moog while holding an electric guitar ready to strum and singing. Their material is heady — it can travel from heavy bass and Moog rattling the rafters to whispers of electronic sax or the brashness of real brass and accordion. They fit well with Neutral Milk Hotel and they're part of the Elephant 6 collective.
Reiger, impressively, was on a twelve string electric for most of the set. Thematically, songs are often dark, about dread and lust, phantom limbs and social complexities. Their sound wanders through sixties territory falling into the genre of psych-rock with heavy fuzz coming out of the Vox as Bryan Poole aka The Late B.P. Helium lays down fine runs on lead guitar. He handled back-up vocals with aplomb, and I just gotta say -never shave those Wolverine lamb chops – never.
Elf Power's rhythm-section comprised of James Huggins (bass) and Peter Alvanos (drums) kept the band on course. Down home progressions cascade in layers cresting into sonic tapestries evocative of the late sixties Beatles Yellow Submarine at times. Elf Power is a band you can submerge into and wake up dreamy. They're currently touring to support their new release Sunlight On The Moon (2013) from Orange Twin/Darla. The album was an NPR pick of the year.
Neutral Milk Hotel's Sensational Comeback
Neutral Milk Hotel played to a sold out Orpheum Theatre in Boston, MA
The audience was on their feet before the stage was lit. Jeff Mangum (vocals-guitar) walked out to the mic, slung on his old acoustic guitar, and strummed the first chords of "King of Carrot Flowers." The audience roared as the lights went up, let the hoedown stomp begin.
It's been fifteen years since Neutral Milk Hotel has toured. Where once they would play small clubs whose's stages could barely fit all the players, now they're selling out theaters that hold nearly three thousand people. This was true in Boston at the Orpheum Theatre for two shows in January. They've been sorely missed.
Mangum, bearded, shielding his eyes with a plain grey Castro military cap, wearing jeans,work boots and plaid shirt is the epitome of the working man. Casually, he acknowledged each band member as the audience screamed. Julian Koster added accordion to the song, and the crowd went nuts. Scott Spillane was forced to wave as he took position on stage with his horn. The crowd was ecstatically pleased to see the big man with the bristly white beard and mop-top hair.
The concert followed the song list of Neutral Milk Hotel's last album, the highly acclaimed 1998 In An Aeroplane Over The Sea. Mangum's was in great voice and his hollar was clear and striking. The band adds character and an uplifting energy when it's the whole crew of up to seven on stage.
Koster, the youngest, I'd wager, looked cute as a button in a knit Angry Birds cap, as he jumped, danced and thumped his red bass with paper snowflakes taped to it on "Holland, 1945." Jeremy Barnes added electronic bag pipes during the set, cementing the haunting melodies into the roots of Scottish Appalachia. But hints of punk, New Orleans Zydeco and brass dirges meld into an eclectic and layered sound. Driving drums, Moog that pulsed through your being, a bow with no rosin tearing up the banjo and the ever present accordion, sometimes two, builds an absolutely relentless sound, energetic and engaging.
The audience would deliver rebel yells and Indian war cries between songs as Mangum sucked down water bottle after water bottle. Before "Comely," the man in front of me yelled "we love you," and Mangum, nodded and tapped his chest. It was a love fest. The title track had Mangum letting the audience sing with with him as he plaintively sang the lyric "soft and sweet, let me hold it close and keep it here," with Koster's etherial saw and Spillane's horn added wonderfully to the cacophonous tune. Laura Carter from Elf Power, Neutral Milk Hotel's opener, also played guitar, brass and sax on various songs sporting giant Elvis glasses and a red kerchief looking right at home between Spillane and Koster. Unkept and profound as the New York Times has said, indeed.
The Pixies Dust The Orpheum Theatre In Boston, MA
The Pixies at the Orpheum Boston, MA
First, a little history. The Orpheum was already sold out when word got out that the Pixies didn't have a bassist. People were worried. Black Francis, the Pixies original guitarist-singer, and Kim Deal, the Pixies original bassist-singer, were known to have a contentious relationship, and Deal quit the band during recording sessions in Wales in the summer of 2013. That was it, she'd had enough, and left abruptly. The band finished the first of two Eps and for the fall tour selected Kim Shattuck (Muffs/Pandoras) as the new Bassist. "We definitely want someone who can just be a personality, I think, and especially on the feminine side. Just the same formula that we've used." David Lovering, (drums) told BrooklynVegan in an interview. But by November, she was out, unceremoniously fired. In December, Paz Lenchantin (A Perfect Circle/Zwan, Billy Corgan's post-Smashing Pumpkins band) steps in. Where does she get to play first? That's right, Northampton followed by Boston. Talk about a trial by fire.
The Pixies formed in the mid 80s, and Boston is home. A show for the homies, no matter how you slice it, was going to be extreme. At the Orpheum, anticipation was high as the Pixies took the stage. Paz thumped out the first notes of "Bone Machine" and held her own at the mic. When she sang the lyric "Your bone's got a little machine," – the crowd went totally nuts. Right out of the gate, she was in – the crowd loved her. Even Frank Black seemed relaxed. No banter, no tension, just a solid hour and a half of Pixies. They did crowd pleasers like "Wave of Mutilation" and "U-Mass" and sing-a-longs like "Where Is My Mind" and of course "Here Comes Your Man." During "La La Love You," drummer David Lovering had fun with the crowd doffing his cap in a "Sim Sala Bim" type wave, as the Magician conferred a thousand thanks. Completely fitting since Lovering was a Magician before the reuniting of the band. They played raw and ruckus fun ones like "Monkey Gone To Heaven," and my throat was burning from singing at the top of my lungs through most of the show. The light show over the background of shimmering plastic cathode-ray style television screens was incredible. Missing were some of the songs that Deal dominates vocally like "Into The White," "Gigantic" and "Debaser" but new material took its place with "Bag Boy" and "Blue Eyed Hexe" meeting with approval. This was a stratospheric event, showcasing a wealth of new material, revitalized energy, and a new bass player. Rather than an oldies show, the Pixies seem reborn into a new edgy but comfortable band. Welcome back Pixies. We missed you.
The Pixies are touring to support the release of EP-1 and EP-2 available for download or on CD.

The New Year, A New Moon, And A New Venue For Patti Smith
Patti Smith at Hynes Convention Center, Boston, First Night, 12/31/2014
The city really sent Mayor Thomas "Mumbles" Menino out with a bang. As it should be. He served as Boston's mayor for over twenty years and saw us through the likes of 9/11 and the Marathon bombings.
So, for the 2014 First Night, New Year's Eve celebration, the fireworks were extreme, the party was hardy, and for any Patti Smith fan, it was epic. The godmother of punk herself was headlining at Hynes Auditorium with opener Dean Wearham for the mere cost of a First Night button.
Patti New Year
PYN was a thing for years. Patti Smith's birthday falls near New Year's Eve. It was legend to take in one of her annual birthday shows at CBGB's in New York which closed in October of 2006. She played the last concert there, to close out the club, and subsequently continued shows at Manhattan's Bowery Ballroom on an annual basis for years.
Hynes Auditorium
Our show was scheduled to begin around 8:30. The queue ran half a city block, but at least it was inside because it was bitter cold outside.We waited and hoped that we'd get seats. If you had the dough, you could sit up front and even meet the band afterwards. They had a couple of tables set up with merch, and we manged seats with the hoi polloi and sat through Dean Wearham. I didn't think he was that bad, kind of reminded me of the Dbs, I mean, he was in Galaxie 500, but my peeps complained hardily. By the time Smith hit the stage we were surly. But that changed quickly.
be strong, be happy and don't be afraid
At 67 years old Smith remains a force, yet her smile is as enigmatic as the Mona Lisa's. Her ferocity seems to come from a mother's need to protect her babies, her people, her world. Her voice soared, growled, snarled and roared, and Lenny Kaye and his band were tight and beautiful, providing a musical match made in heaven.
She dedicated "Capital Letter" her Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack number to Jennifer Lawrence, as a beautiful strong woman, saying "there's nothing like a girl with a bow and arrow." "Perfect Day" brought tears to my eyes, as Smith with no extraneous explanation sang a lovely heart felt rendition of one of Lou Reed's touching songs. While Lenny Kaye and his band played, Smith walked the floor of the auditorium. I was thrilled to get a handshake. I have my right hand mounted under glass on the wall, well, in my mind I do.
Smith took the stage again with "Beautiful Boy," by John Lennon, for her grandson, then asked people gathered at the foot of the stage if they played guitar. One lucky woman got to go up and play on stage. The show was difficult to photograph because they had such a hot spotlight on Smith, or maybe she just glows.
Patti Smith Calls For Revolution For The Year Of The Horse
Smith spoke of 2013's losses and people's resiliency citing the Marathon bombings, and how Boston hung together, and our need to do that worldwide. The audience literally howled their approval. As the beat incited people to dance, Smith called for revolution invoking the names Edward Snowden, Pussy Riot, John Walker Lindh, and Ralph Nader. She quipped about speaking to Nader on the phone, and how he wouldn't say fucking, but that they agree "People Have The Power." Smith ended with Horses and Gloria blessing us commanding us — be strong, be happy and don't be afraid. Have a great year, year of the horse.
Kathleen Hanna Is Back
Kathleen Hanna is back on the circuit with a film,The Punk Singer, and a new Julie Ruin album. The film takes an intimate look at Hanna's rise to fame as a third-wave feminist icon in the Riot Grrl movement and her departure because of late-stage Lyme disease.
Director Sini Anderson uses concert footage, stills, posters and interviews with Hanna, her husband, Adam Horovitz (Ad-Rock) from the Beastie Boys, and other punk women icons like Joan Jett, Kim Gordon and Corin Tucker, to craft the image of a natural born leader. Hanna emerges as a spokeswoman for the Riot Grrl movement that came from the same place as the Grunge scene in Washington state. Colorful vignettes tell the story of a powerful woman. It was Hanna who came up with the title for Nirvana's first hit, "Smells Like Teen Spirit," – spray painting it on Kurt Cobain's bedroom wall. Friends who knew what was good for her keep pushing her towards Ad-Rock. A love story surfaces that includes initial struggles with her attraction to her husband because of his (now reformed ) misogynistic tendencies.
Even the punk artistic movement dedicated to free expression and equality, really wasn't. Hanna and her friends were sick of playing second fiddle to the boys. They were allowed to be girlfriends, but not allowed in the mosh pit. They were allowed to manage the band and put up posters, but not play in the band. That all changed when Bikini Kill, Hanna's first band, started making the rounds. Hanna would call for all the girls to come up front, and the boys to stand back or mosh on the sides at the underground clubs.
Hanna said in a Rolling Stone interview that "I just didn't want any male authorities telling people what good music was. I didn't want men to validate me."
"I just didn't want any male authorities telling people what good music was. I didn't want men to validate me."
Which is interesting, since Hanna is a former stripper. The motivation to take on punk culture and push back seems to have come from a desire to put the spot light on sexual abuse, rape and male oppression. Hanna openly challenged sexual expectations and found a way to break the limitations that even the punk subculture maintained. "I kind of based myself in opposition to what I perceived as being Second Wave feminism, which was really ignorant, and based on all of the stereotypes. Like that they have hairy legs and they are anti-sex and so on," Hanna said in a written interview with Celina Hex during the Riot Grrl days. Burning bras and suffragette authority gave way fun, ferocious frivolity and putting the sexy back in feminism.
Hanna is still seeking an inclusive culture that honors women, not as objects, or supporters, but as artists. She says we're in the fourth wave of feminism, and poverty is the biggest challenge for women. Hanna remains a leader with a cause.

Rhye – An L.A. based band with a velvet vocalist that's hard to imagine is a dude. Mike Milosh hails from Canada, along side Danish composer and arranger Robin Hannibal have released their critically-acclaimed debut R& B release Woman.
Best Christmas Music
Although not released this year, the album came out in 2009, but an honorable mention goes to Bob Dylan's Christmas in the Heart. A gift for the true Dylanphile or someone you want to give the sound of sandpaper scratching glass.
Best Christmas Tradition
In England in the 1840s the term "dick" meant a type of hard cheese; treacle sauce was added and it became "treacle dick," add a few currants and raisins for spots and the suet desert becomes "spotted dick." Yep, so you can say to your Mummy "pass me the spotted dick" at table without getting slapped.
Egad.
A couple of interesting books that came to my attention this year were the Book of Martyrdom and Artifice (Da Capo Press, 2008) – a collection of early writings from Ginsberg's journals about his relationships and adventures with the other Beat luminaries, so candid Ginsberg insisted it not be released until after his death, and The Hippos Were Boiled In Their Tanks (Grove Press, 2009), a noir style novel by Burroughs and Kerouac not released until after Carr's death.
Best New Film
The Punk Singer — A fascinating documentary about Kathleen Hanna, lead singer of the band Bikini Kill and Le Tigre, and reluctant prime mover in the Riot Grrrl movement as an outspoken feminist in the '90s.

IndyCar test 'not important' for final decision on 2019 – Alonso
Fernando Alonso insists he is yet to make a final decision about his racing plans for 2019 following his maiden IndyCar road test.
Fernando Alonso insists he is yet to make a final decision about his racing plans for 2019 and added his maiden IndyCar road test was not an "important" factor.
Alonso took part in his first IndyCar test on a road course at Barber last week as he continues to assess his options for next year after confirming he will quit Formula 1 to pursue other challenges.
The Spaniard labelled the test as "special" and is considering a full-time switch into the Verizon IndyCar Series, which includes the Indy 500 and the final stage remaining on Alonso's quest to achieve the 'Triple Crown' of motorsport.
But speaking ahead of this weekend's Singapore Grand Prix, Alonso said the test played no role in deciding which category he wants to compete in next year.
"The reason to do the test was not to make the final decision," Alonso explained. "But as usual, I talk, and what I tell is never written. You do your own interpretation. I said that this test was not important, and apparently this test was definitely the right moment and the decision was made after this test, and it's not true.
"I said that in Monza I stopped Formula 1 because I think this is not the place to be, and Formula 1 right now cannot offer anything exciting. And the reason is that I stopped Formula 1 is that I could not find a competitive seat.
"So what I tell is never written. The test was not important last week, and the test is not important right now, what I did in Barber. It was exciting, it was different, it was definitely more challenging, physically demanding. Outside Formula 1, there is a very big world."
Alonso said he is still weighing up his options but singled out the end of October as an ideal timeframe for coming to a final decision.
"I'm thinking," he said. "I'm checking a couple of things and hopefully by October or something like that, in one month's time, I hope to get everything done and say to you."
Alonso and NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson appeared to tease a possible crossover in a video shared on McLaren's social media accounts on Wednesday.
When asked if NASCAR might provide the next chapter of his career, Alonso replied: "Not really. It's definitely another series that is attractive, as all the motorsport series, they have their good things and their bad things and their appeal sometimes.
"We know NASCAR is one of the great series in motorsport. Obviously I never tested the car. I have zero information about the championship, the rules, so it's a very difficult thing to judge. Let's see what will happen there.
"[The Daytona 500] is one of those iconic races that definitely they are great and they are very important in motorsport. There is appeal in all of these kind of events."
