ans of the Reverend Horton Heat haven’t exactly been flooded with new music from the band lately. After cranking out eight studio albums over the first 13 years of a recording career that began with the 1990 release “Smoke ‘em If You Got ‘em,” the group’s current CD, “Rev,” marks only the second studio release from the Dallas-based group since 2004’s “Revival.” But frontman Jim “The Reverend” Heath figures people haven’t been bothered by the reduced musical output. “When we were coming out with albums every two years, it really kind of pissed off our fans,” Heath said in a recent phone interview. “It was just too much, too much coming at them. And it always worked out that about every time we released a new album that was right at the exact same time they were finally starting to get and request the songs from the previous album. After ‘Revival’ it was like we better slow down on this,” he said. “And there were some other life issues that happened all in that time and it just kind of made sense to hold off on new albums for awhile.” In a sense, though, it’s been even longer since fans have gotten a fresh batch of prototypical Reverend Horton Heat songs. The group’s previous album, 2009’s “Laughin’ & Cryin’ with the Reverend Horton Heat,” was a departure from the group’s signature high octane roots rock sound, as it spotlighted the group’s country influence. “Going back to the ‘Laughin’ and Cryin,’ I really wanted to make a straight country album,” Heath said. “Every album that we’ve ever had has had a country song on it, and this one (“Rev”) kind of does, too….But it (“Laughin’ and Cryin’) was fun to do. It didn’t turn out to be a straight country album necessarily, but it leans very much country.” Heath, though, admits that “Laughin’ and Cryin’” didn’t register with some of the group’s fans, and having scratched the country itch with “Laughin’ and Cryin,’” it became apparent that a return to the familiar rocking sound would be the next move. “It (“Laughin’ and Cryin’”) almost just kind of didn’t do as much good, and it kind of seemed like we haven’t had an album that had some good fast rock tunes since ‘Revival,’ Heath said. “So it just made sense that we would get to some more harder edged, fast tempo, rocking stuff.” And that’s just what the “Rev” album delivers. As is usually the case with Reverend Horton Heat albums, rockabilly rooted songs figure prominently in the mix

GENE AMBO

REVEREND HORTON HEAT // GENERAL ZANINESS F

– as “Smell Of Gasoline,” “Spooky Boots” and “Scenery Going By” all fueled by the full-throttle swing generated by drummer Churilla. A healthy dose of surf rock gets mixed with a cheesy horror motif on the largely instrumental tune, “Zombie Dumb.” On “Never Gonna Stop It” and “Let Me Teach You How To Eat” the Reverend Horton Heat puts more of a punk accent on its otherwise early rockinfluenced sound. The country influence, meanwhile, pops up on “Hardscrabble Woman” and ”Longest Gonest Man,” although the latter tune in particular is as frisky as about any song on the CD. If the sound and style of “Rev” will feel familiar to fans, one thing that was different was the recording process itself. Many of the group’s 10 previous albums were recorded quickly – sometimes over the span of just a few days. But singer/ guitarist Heath and his bandmates, bassist Jimbo Wallace and drummer Scott Churilla, took their time in making “Rev.” What contributed to that change in methods was that after making “Laughin’ and Cryin,’” the group put together its own recording studio/rehearsal space. This brought a new level of freedom to the recording process. “Some of it (“Rev”) was recorded in a commercial studio, but most of this album was recorded at our rehearsal space,” said Heath, who produced “Rev.” “The hard thing about having a producer in an expensive studio, is that you have your five, 10 days, a month, whatever,

you have limited time and that’s it. So we’ll go in there and do all of those songs, and then we’ll be out there playing them (live) and then a few months later listen back to what we did and go ‘Oh God, we want to re-record the whole thing.’ “And it’s too late,” he explained. “You’ve already blown $50,000 or something crazy on that commercial studioslash-producer deal, and what’s really important, the most important thing at that point to us, is getting the chance to go back in and re-record it the way we are playing it since we’re playing it better.” With its own studio, the Reverend Horton Heat didn’t get locked into a single recording session with a tight deadline. And Heath said the trio took full advantage of being able to play the new songs, see how they developed and then revisit them in the studio. “There are several songs on this that we scrapped completely, (sometimes) four versions of the songs before we finally hit it on the fifth version,” he said. “So we’d be working and tweaking and doing all of this, and then go ‘Nah, let’s just trash it and start over.’ So having the flexibility to do that, that’s really, really awesome.” The group is back on the road, playing shows in support of “Rev” (which by the way, is the group’s first release under a new deal with Victory Records). But that doesn’t mean fans will be inundated with new tunes during the Reverend Horton Heat’s live set. “We’ll be playing new songs off of the

new album,” Heath said. “But gosh, it gets harder and harder The more albums you come out with, the harder it is to get the new stuff in. People pay their ticket price for the live show to hear a lot of our standard stuff. But we’re definitely going to try (to include new songs). We’ve got three or four of them that work really well live. So there’s going to be at least four, Probably what we’ll have to do is we’ll have to alternate them on different nights.” What fans won’t hear during the live show is much in the way of ballads – no surprise for a group that is known the play one of the most energetic shows of any rock band. Still Heath said the group has calmed down a bit in a few ways over nearly 25 years of touring. “We still play a lot of fast, high energy songs,” he said. “Our slow songs don’t usually make the set. We’re usually going, pile driving from one fast song into another to keep the crowd energetic and going. That’s kind of what we do. That being said, it has changed. In the early years, around the time when Jimbo first joined the band (in 1989), we would always do a bunch of crazy stuff. I mean, we were climbing up on scaffolding, on top of speaker boxes, jumping off into the crowd. We were walking on the bar and jumping off it, always jumping and falling and hurting ourselves. We don’t do that kind of zaniness anymore, but we still have our general zaniness.”

SWEN CHINESE RESTAURANT // A TUSCALOOSA FAVORITE M

any may consider Chinese takeout to be a way of life, especially in our world of busy schedules and no time to cook dinner on our own. If you’re part of this club, then chances are you’ve got your one favorite Chinese restaurant in mind. For many Tuscaloosa folks, Swen Chinese Restaurant in Northport has been satisfying those cravings. Whether it’s takeout, dining in before a high school football game, or eating Sunday lunch after church, Swen has been serving up Chinese favorites to Tuscaloosa locals and visitors since the 1990’s. My husband and I decided to mix up our usual Thursday night routine by dining out at Swen. With my hubby being a Tuscaloosa native, it only took a split second for him to suggest our dinner location after sharing my craving for Chinese food. Dimly lit and located in an older strip of stores in Northport, my expectations were high upon arriving inside the old restaurant. I quickly noticed the quaint size of the eatery as well as the simplicity of the décor. Donned in primarily black and red, the restaurant provided a low key and calming atmosphere, avoiding any loud television noises, music, or clamor from the kitchen. We were immediately greeted by our server who was quick to let us know how busy she was. Perusing the menu, I knew I wanted something spicy to satisfy my cravings. I eventually opted for Hunan chicken with fried rice and egg drop soup while my husband went with his standard Kung Pao chicken selection. Waiting on our order, I noticed the significant number of folks revolving through the restaurant to pick up their takeout orders. In the midst of all the takeout madness, large groups of folks dressed in various high school spirit colors took over the restaurant to dine in. With many of the tables ready to order once they sat down, I got the impression this was not their first rodeo at Swen. We seemed to get our order in record timing with a piping hot dish of chicken, jalapenos, onions, and water chestnuts with a nice side of fried rice. Though my husband’s Kung Pao chicken looked quite similar in color and ingredients, I was impressed with the flavor differences between the two dishes. The mix of good flavors, textures, and food temperatures had my mouth in heaven bite by bite. Overall, I enjoyed my dinner visit to Swen. The flavor difference from having a dish made to order was quite obvious when comparing our dishes to my normal routine of a Chinese buffet. The atmosphere of Swen was cozy, comforting, and a clear favorite for Tuscaloosa locals. The impressive amount of both takeout and dine in business is a great convincer to have me come back for more. Swen Chinese Restaurant is located 3380 McFarland Boulevard in Northport. Tweet us @ThePlanetWeekly and let us know where you are eating!

GHOSTS OF ALABAMA F

or as long as Mississippi has existed (and then some), flocks of phantoms have haunted the mortal inhabitants of the Magnolia State. In Thirteen Mississippi Ghosts and Jeffrey, best-selling folklorist Kathryn Tucker Windham, along with her trusty spectral companion Jeffrey, introduces thirteen of the state’s most famous ghost stories. Although stories about Mississippi’s spirits seemingly outnumber the ghosts themselves, Windham observes that “Southern ghost tales are disappearing because people no longer sit around on the porch on summer nights and tell stories. The old folks who grew up with these stories are dying now, and the stories are dying with them.” Fortunately for us, Windham was a writer dedicated to preserving these tales in print. The veteran author spent many years tracking down these stories and chronicling the best ones. From the ghost of Mrs. McEwen still wearing her beloved cameo pin and keeping a watchful eye over Featherston Place, her home in Holly Springs, where, she swore, she would stay forever, to the ghostly visage fixed permanently on the bedroom window pane of Catherine McGehee, who searched the horizon ardently for her unrequited love to come to her as promised at Cold Spring Plantation in Pinckneyville, Windham’s stories cover the breadth and depth of Mississippi—at times more moonlight than magnolia. An enduring classic, this commemorative edition restores Thirteen Mississippi Ghosts and Jeffrey to the ghastly grandeur of its original 1974 edition.

DELOACH PINOT NOIR // SUBTLE AND NON-COMPLEX F or this review, I tasted the 2013 Heritage Reserve Pinot Noir from DeLoach.

APPEARANCE In appearance, DeLoach Pinot Noir is light garnet in color. Light is able to shine through the liquid fairly well, leaving cherry reflections below the glass. The wine was very leggy with many multi-sized and fast moving tears dripping down the sides of the glass. AROMA The wine’s aroma is subtle and noncomplex. However, its simplicity is enjoyable, with notes of cherry as the primary aroma. There’s also a hint of candy in there as well, but that took some time to develop. You have to dig deep to really pull out much alcohol. There’s not much “sting in the nose” with this wine. DeLoach Pinot Noir alcohol content 13.5% by volume, per the bottle. TASTE Much like the aroma, the wine’s taste was subtle and delicate. Also non-complex but again enjoyably simple. The first taste I noticed was a warm hint of cranberry that softened up quickly. As that softening occurred, a more cherry-like flavor emerged. Not black or maraschino cherry, but just a straightforward cherry note. Perhaps Bing? To be clear it was subtle. The bottle label suggested I might notice some spice. However, I did not notice that

OCTOBER 22 + NOVEMBER 5

in the wine’s flavor. I did notice that some of the flavor washed out a bit as the wine had a chance to breathe. What was mostly left were the cranberry notes. MOUTHFEEL AND TANNINS The wine’s tannins were present but soft. I noticed them only on the tongue and really had to wait for the finish to kick in before they were noticeable. Not surprisingly, the wine’s mouthfeel was also light. Almost like apple juice in texture, but obviously not in flavor. FINISH Finish of DeLoach Pinot Noir was short to medium. As mentioned above, that was when the tannins made their presence known. OVERALL OPINION Overall, I really enjoyed DeLoach Pinot Noir. What I liked most about it was its understatement at all levels of the wine tasting experience. That resulted in a very nice balance between the taste, texture and finish of the wine. It was also a bit of a nice surprise to note a cranberry flavor in a Pinot Noir. Nine times out of ten with a Pinot Noir you’re going to notice cherry, primarily. So this was a pleasant change of pace and it wasn’t overdone. Kudos to the winemaker! Do watch out for the slight flavor washout over time as you’re drinking an individual glass. It’s a great excuse to keep pouring a fresh one!

More times than not, I find myself seeking out only collaborations between bigger breweries in hopes that they will produce an amazingly intense brew. Although, that’s not always the case. I had heard several months ago that Cigar City, one of my personal favorites, and Terrapin, another favorite of mine, were joining forces to create a Double IPA; that’s about the time I started to get excited. Two of these powerhouses of hop forward and beautifully executed beers coming together to brew what was sure to be nothing short of perfection; then it was released. Review after review I read stories of people hating what they had spent good money on; saying that the beer was just awful and questioning how two great breweries could come up with something so… not great. I decided to try it for myself in hopes that everyone else was wrong, but, as I suspected, they weren’t. Here are my thoughts: I poured this beer into a regular pint glass after I had let it chill for a whole day. The color in the glass was a lightly hazy golden orange color with a good bit of visible carbonation running along the sides of the glass. A finger width of off-white foam settled at the top of the glass and reduced to a thin layer with some splotchy circles resting on top of the beer with a small amount of lacing was collected on the glass. The smell was something that I wasn’t really expecting, because it was just straight ginger. I know on the side of

the glass it read ginger and apricot, but the apricot was hidden pretty seriously because all you’re getting from this is fresh ginger. Although it’s not a terrible thing, I just wasn’t ready for that. I was hoping for a nice blend of ginger and apricot and maybe some mildly citrus notes in the background. Instead, the background had some piney, almost resin like aromas mixed with a bit of a caramel malt character that was barely noticeable; I had to make it half way through the beer before I started to pick any up. This was the beginnings of my extreme disappointment with the beer, and sadly, it didn’t stop there. Taste was the real downfall of this one and honestly, I’ve only read a handful of reviews that were positive on the flavor. As soon as you take the first sip, you get a nice bit of caramel malts and sweetness from the grains, but then an avalanche of ginger bombards your mouth and takes over. I mean, this was so much ginger it was almost unbearable. That apricot flavor that they speak of on the side of the bottle, yeah, I didn’t get much of it if any at all. There were hints of it on the back end every now and again, but nothing too noticeable. As you finish out each sip, you start to pick up some of the pine and resin hops again and it just adds to the bad flavor from the ginger. There’s a lingering bitterness that isn’t too friendly and the finish is dry beyond belief. If the flavors of the ginger and apricot would have been blended a

little better and still kept the caramel and grain notes, I would have been all over this, but the ginger was just too overpowering and made it impossible to enjoy. Mouthfeel was one of the better aspects of the brew. Carbonation was really nice and the body was much lighter than you would expect from a Double IPA with this sort of ABV (9.05% to be exact.) There was a warming finish that I think added a bit to the dryness and the carbonation level and maybe even the ginger. Overall, this was the most redeeming quality of the beer. This one was a miss for me, but if given the opportunity, I would probably

drink it again. I don’t know, I think my dislike for it mainly stems from my dislike of fresh ginger. The flavor, to me, is just too overpowering and really blocks out any of the other flavors chances of shining through. Like I said earlier, I would love to see this beer have the flavors blended a little better, because then it would be out of sight. If you’re a fan of fresh ginger and herbal hops, this beer has the potential to be right up your alley. It can be found in four packs, which is if it’s still available because I’m a little late on this one. You can’t get it right every time and, this time, Cigar City and Terrapin may have struck out. Better luck next time, guys!

THE IMPORTANCE OF GETTING YOUR ZZzzz's S

tudies show that 35% of adults sleep on an average of less than 7 hours in a 24-hour day. It recommended adults should get 7 to 8 hours of sleep, while children and teens need up to 9 hours of sleep a night. Investing in good sleep habits is crucial for maintaining brain health, regulating the energy levels of our cells, reducing stress levels, and aids in healing processes that do not take place when we are active and awake. Our quality of sleep should be just as important as our diet and physical activity levels. Research shows that those who consistently do not get the proper amount of rest have an increased risk of high blood pressure, cancer, heart problems, depression, and other diseases. When our cells are not able to recharge through sleep, they naturally wear down decreasing the daily function of our organs and will eventually lead to a compromised immune system. Outside of our health, a lack of sleep increases the chances of car accidents, occupational errors, and difficulty performing daily tasks. The quality and timing of sleep are important factors for getting the proper rest each night and there are easy steps to take to make sure you are allowing your body to get quality sleep. FOOD FOR SLEEP Our diet impacts all aspects of our well being including our quality of sleep. Healthy fats such as coconut oil, eggs, avocado, and raw nuts provide our body with the necessary building blocks to produce hormones which aid in sleep. Foods high in antioxidant such as blueberries, leafy green vegetables, and green tea are also important for hormone production and removal of harmful toxins that can negatively affect our sleep. Avoiding sugars and carbs especially at night can increase sleep quality due to the fact that these foods can cause a blood sugar spike and crash affect that will lead to difficulty falling or staying asleep. YOUR SLEEP ENVIRONMENT Your sleep environment is extremely important for sleep quality and for allowing your body to fall into the deep sleep we need to get the benefits of shuteye. Removing all artificial light including the television, phone, night lights, and even your alarm clock can help assure a proper environment for sleep. Try switching out an annoying alarm sound with a gentle

noise such as a sunlight alarm clock that will wake you up much more gently. Many people dread the sound of their alarm and can cause anxiety if you wake up before your alarm and are anticipating the sound. Cope with shift work sleep disorder A disrupted sleep schedule caused by working nights or irregular shifts can lead to sleepiness in the work place, mood swings, and decreased energy levels. Shift workers tend to suffer from sleeping at home during the day and staying awake at work during the night. Obviously we can’t choose when we work but there are some steps to take to make sure you are still getting quality sleep. If you drink caffeinated drinks, try to consume them early in your shift as opposed to the end when you are feeling tired. Although they may be necessary to get through the last couple hours of work, it will be harder to fall asleep when it comes time to go to bed. Try to stay on a routine even if you are on nights, try to lie down at the same time after you are off work and wake up around the same time each day. If possible, try to limit the number of night or irregular shifts you work in a row to prevent sleep deprivation from setting in. If that is not possible, avoid rotating shifts if you can to maintain the same sleep schedule. When the weekend rolls around or your nonworking days, make it a priority to get the recommended 7-8 hours of sleep and pay off some of your “sleep debt”. I hope these tips can be of use to many people who are sleep deprived. In our crazy busy society, sleep is one thing that can always be pushed to the wayside if needed. Think of good nights sleep as crucial as it is for your eat or make it to work on time- it is a must for proper health and wellness. If there are any health topics you want to learn more about, please e-mail (drrachelsteiner@gmail.com) me with questions, I would love to write my articles specific to my readers’ curiosity!

PAN // NO EXPENSE SPARED W

hether on the big-screen or the small screen, the media has venerated Scottish writer J.M. Barrie’s classic 1904 play and 1911 novel about a rambunctious boy who refused to grow up. Paramount Pictures produced the first and only silent movie about Peter Pan in 1924 with Barrie’s approval and cast Betty Bronson as the adolescent hellion. About 29 years later, Walt Disney appropriated the property and produced an animated epic with a 15-year old boy voicing Peter Pan. In the 1954 telecast of “Producers’ Showcase: Peter Pan,” actress Mary Martin impersonated Peter. This broadcast was aired again in 1963, then again in both 1966 and 1973. NBC broadcast the Hallmark Hall of Fame television adaptation in 1976 with Mia Farrow as the eternal youth. In 1987, Soviet television aired its own unauthorized adaptation, while in 1988 the Australians rendered their own unauthorized direct-to-video version. Steven Spielberg cast Robin Williams as a grown-up Peter Pan in “Hook” (1991) with Julia Roberts as Tinker Bell. Captain Hook kidnaps Peter’s two children to lure a reluctant Peter back to Neverland. About ten years later, Disney released an animated sequel “Return to Never Land” (2002) to its 1953 original.” “Return to Never Land” occurs during World War II, and dastardly Captain Hook battles British fighter aircraft over London when he invades air space with his pirate-ship that he flies by means of pixie-dust. In 2003, P.J. Hogan helmed a traditional version of Barrie’s “Peter Pan” with a boy playing the protagonist, unlike a girl in two earlier versions. In 2003’s Neverland, indie film director Damion Dietz reimagined Barrie’s play with “Neverland” (2003) with Peter as an older teen confused about his sexual identity, while Captain Hook was homosexual, and Tiger Lily was a cross-dresser. More recently, the SyFy Channel’s “Neverland” (2011) produced its own origins story about Peter and the Lost Boys as they picked pockets in England adding a Charles Dickins twist to the shenanigans. “Atonement” director Joe Wright and “Ice Age: Continental Drift” scenarist

OCTOBER 22 + NOVEMBER 5

Jason Fuchs have borrowed more from Charles Dickens than James Barrie for their ‘origins’ epic “Pan” that looks like it was designed to fuel a franchise. Basically, Wright and Fuchs introduce us to

Peter before the boy could fly. The action unfolds in the late 1920s as Peter’s mother Mary (Amanda Seyfried of “Gone”) abandons her infant child mysteriously on the doorstep of an oppressive Catholic orphanage. Presided over by the corrupt, gluttonous Mother Barnabas (Kathy Burke), the Sisters of Eternal Prudence rule the Lambeth School for Boys as harshly as a penitentiary. Inexorably, time elapses, and the year is now 1939. World War II has erupted, and the Nazis have embarked on a massive aerial bombing campaign against the British. The Sisters horde food and conceal more treasure than you could find at the end of a rainbow. Ironically, Mother Barnabas keeps a statue of Mary in her room. All she has to do is twist Mary’s delicate snout, and a partition in the floor opens to reveal everything that the sisters have hidden. Furthermore, the good Mother has been selling orphans to pirates passing in the night. Twelve- year old Peter (newcomer Levi Miller) has become such a thorn in the Mother’s side that she sells him to those pirates. Specifically, the pirate passing in the night is the infamous Blackbeard (Hugh Jackman of “Wolverine”) and he cruises in on an 18th century sailing ship that charts its

path through the stars. In other words, he flies his ship across the same skies that Hitler’s Luftwaffe uses to bomb London. Blackbeard’s men descend through the orphanage skylights in the dead of night and snatch the boys Mother Barnabas has sold him. Imagine bungeecording into a building and bouncing back aboard a ship in the sky, and you’ve got an idea how Blackbeard stages these abductions. Blackbeard escapes the British fighter pilots prowling the night skies, ascends above the clouds, and wings his way back to Neverland. He employs these poor youngsters as slaves to mine for pixum. Essentially, Pixum is ‘fairy dust,’ and the villainous Blackbeard uses it keep his ships airborne. The first time we are shown Blackbeard’s kingdom and the massive quarries where the mining is done, everything resembles the citadel in the fourth Mad Max movie “Mad Max: Fury Road.” When he isn’t conscripting lads for labor, Blackbeard has to contend with the quarrelsome natives who look nothing like Barrie’s “redskins” but more like Pacific Island natives. When Peter accuses an older miner of stealing the pixum that our hero has chiseled out of the quarry, he finds himself poised on a plank sticking out of Blackbeard’s ship high above the quarry. Miraculously, Peter doesn’t plunge to his death, and this impossibility bothers Blackbeard because he fears the youth may be ‘the chosen one’ sent to topple him. While Peter toils in the mines, he meets James Hook (Garrett Hedlund of “TRON: Legacy”), and this time around Hook is a good guy. Hook and Peter manage to escape from Blackbeard and lead an uprising that eventually deposes Blackbeard. Anybody familiar with Barrie’s “Peter Pan” will wince at the liberties that “Pan” takes.

and Fuchs have omitted ninety percent of Barrie’s book. Hook’s only close encounter with a crocodile occurs when one leaps over the raft that Peter and he share with Tiger Lily. Furthermore, Hook isn’t even a pirate. If you’re wondering about Blackbeard’s presence, Barrie mentioned him only once in the novel. Meantime, Wright and Fuchs have expanded his minor role considerably. Hugh Jackson is horribly miscast as the notorious pirate. He looks like he belongs to the 1970s’ disco group The Village People. Rooney Mara of “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” looks just as ridiculous as Tiger Lily. The people who produced “Pan” have spared no expense

SUNNY // SWEET AND GRATEFUL Meet Sunny, a handsome short-haired male orange tabby with white on his chest, tummy and paws. He’s a young adult between 1 and 3 years old. Sunny was picked up in downtown Tuscaloosa, but it was hard to determine if he was a stray or previously owned. He was around a construction site that previously held houses, so it is possible he used to live in the area and was abandoned. Poor thing! Sunny is a sweet and grateful young guy. He’s a little cautious, but he is friendly and social with other friendly cats. He’s low-energy and calm. Sunny loves to be petted and purrs when he recognizes affection. A quiet home where he can bond with someone and feel safe would be the perfect life for this sweet boy! He certainly deserves it! Visit our adoption center during Saturday open hours or contact us to meet Sunny! Sunny is negative for FIV and FeLK, current on vaccinations, and neutered.

CHARLIE // A TRUE SOUTHERN BELLE Meet Charlie, a 2-year-old male Corgi/Terrier mix. This spunky cutie has a long body with short legs (like a Corgi) with a smooth brownish red and black coat. Charlie is a medium/small dog weighing about 24 pounds, and this is full-grown. Charlie was pulled from our city animal shelter, where he had been found and dropped off there and no one came to claim him after several weeks down there. Charlie is just loaded with personality and love! He is happiest when he is with you and getting attention. Charlie is pretty calm and easygoing and should be fine in an apartment as long as he gets daily walks. He will require a fenced in yard if left outside any unattended. Charlie should be fine with children ages 10 and up and seems to do well with other dogs. We have started his crate training. Charlie is up to date on his vet care, neutered, heartworm negative and is microchipped. He is on heartworm and flea/tick prevention. Come meet this little charmer and be ready to bring him into your home and heart! If you are interested in giving SUNNY or CHARLIE the forever home they want and deserve, visit the Humane Society of West Alabama at http://www.humanesocietyofwa.org or call us at (205)-554-0011.

HANGING OUT WITH THE DOCTORS & THE LAWYERS W

ith over 1,500 facebook likes, a newly released Album titled “Hear it Again” and a resume that includes both the CukoRakko Music and Arts Festival and Wakarusa Music Festival, the boys who formed the band that is now known as The Doctors and The Lawyers in a tiny University of Alabama freshman dorm room have taken the music scene by storm. Back in 2011, Chris Wilhelm was strolling the halls of the university’s Riverside East dorm when he stumbled upon a “lead guitarist wanted” flier. With a background in music and theater that pre dates back to his middle school days, Chris decided he might as well give it a shot-- What was he to lose? “That’s where I come in,” jokes guitarist and vocalist, Taylor Atkinson. The flier Chris found led straight to Taylor’s dorm room, which so happened to be two floors from his. With both their love of music and hopes of creating a band that would let them artistically express themselves, the first half of The Doctors and

The Lawyers formed. After the major stepback caused in Tuscaloosa by the tornado on April 27th,2011, the band took a break, promising to reconvene at the start of the new semester in August; a promise that was only kept by both Chris and Taylor. “Our [then] drummer texted Taylor and said ‘hey by the way I transferred’ and so we were once again on the search for a new drummer” guitarist and vocalist, Chris Wilhelm said. Jordan Kumler, at the time, was living with Taylor as randomly placed roommates in the university’s Ridgecrest South Dorm. When the band saw themselves without a drummer, Taylor reached out to Kumler in the hopes of him maybe knowing someone who might play the drums. What Atkinson did not expect was for his roommate to say he knew how to play. After playing for quite some time, the band’s bass player left to go into Pharmaceutical School at Auburn University. In the search for yet again another member of the band, the guys resorted to their old

Pictured Above: (left to right) Taylor Atkinson, Chris Wilhelm, Ross Singer, and Jordan Kumler school ways of making a flier. At the time, Ross Singer was playing with another band when a friend of his recommended he get in touch with The Doctors and The Lawyers. “I was aware of who they were,” Bass Player, Ross Singer said. “But I had never really listened to their music so, I decided to check them out because I was looking to try something different.” For the guys, as soon as Ross came in and played for them, they knew he was the one they needed. After four years of trial and errors with various members, a severe weather disaster that delayed the start of the band, The Doctors and The Lawyers were finally ready to the take on both Tuscaloosa and the nation’s music scene. During the interview, they offered to play their favorite original song: Trybliss-written by drummer, Jordan Kumler. You could sense the trust and laid back feel of the band once they set their hands on their corresponding instruments and nodded to one another that it was time to start. Unlike many bands, these guys were more than just professional musicians. These were four best friends getting to hang out and do what they love together. Musically, the guys are very support-

ive of each other. They allow one another to express their artistic abilities and intuitions, which creates the very sought out sound of live improvisation both them and their fans have grown to love. What felt more like a sit down with friends rather than an interview, the guys opened up about fender benders, how many hammocks Jordan and Taylor have throughout the house, the geese that live in the attic, as well as their own personal music taste and favorite top 40 songs. You can watch The Doctors and The Lawyers live at Rare Martini in Birmingham, Alabama on October 30th at 10 p.m.

>>> HOROSCOPES | W E E K L Y O V E R V I E W There are plenty of opportunities for romance, but when it comes right down to it you may be too critical for your own good. The lineup in Virgo suggests that you could zero in on others' faults rather than applaud their best features. It's possible you might miss out on a real catch as a result. The best days for socializing and dating are Friday through Sunday. A snappy set of aspects hints that hidden passions could be unleashed, particularly once the Sun enters Scorpio. Although Tuesday's Quarter Moon could see you swinging between a desire to relax and a need to attend to responsibilities, the rest of the week should unfold in a rather pleasant way. It seems that your main focus is linked with home and family affairs. You could be doing a lot of reorganization and planning. But you'll enjoy the opportunity to improve your quality of life. The Sun's move into Scorpio on Friday brings health and work issues to the fore. This can be a good week to network on key projects, especially those that boost your standing and income. If you connect with the right people, you'll enjoy the experience, and you could be well on your way to success. The Sun glides into Scorpio and your leisure sector on Friday, encouraging you to enjoy some time out and rediscover your creativity while you're at it. Other sociable opportunities could coincide with a meeting that opens new doors at work.

Your finances seem to be a major focus this week and for some time to come. With the accent on Virgo you might be eager to develop a strategy that helps you increase your income or earn extra money on the side. You'll also want to invest in opportunities that could bring a good return further down the line. Once the Sun moves into Scorpio, home and family matters may take up your attention, encouraging radical decisions and empowering changes. You could be a force to be reckoned with this week and over the weeks ahead. With a major focus on your sign, your charisma and confidence are at an all-time high. This could lead you to try ideas and projects that might be a bit of a stretch for you. You'll relish the challenge at this time. Sun's move into Scorpio later in the week could see you looking beneath the surface to get to the truth of an ongoing issue or problem. The focus on your spiritual sector continues, enhancing your intuition and empowering your dreams and goals with practical insight and inspiration. While the Sun in your sign encourages you to get moving on those plans that are closest to your heart, you'll benefit by taking time out for meditation and reflection. Balancing action with calm and inner peace can pave the way for greater success. An upbeat aspect this weekend hints at an encounter that you could find very touching. Your social life is bubbling over with excitement and lively options. The fun continues this week with a chance to expand your network still further. Encounters may be more intense than usual, especially around Friday, when a meeting could be the start of a budding romance. On that same day the Sun dances into your sign, giving you a blast of extra vitality. Make Sunday the day for a very special get-together. A super aspect suggests you could have a great time.

You may have a number of ideas about how best to succeed at a goal or your career. Assess your priorities and focus on one or two options that fire up your imagination. The urge to fulfill an ambition or see a plan through to completion seems especially strong this week. Just avoid the tendency to work too hard. Try to strike a balance between activity and complete relaxation. The Sun enters Scorpio on Friday, encouraging you to attend to spiritual matters. If you haven't gone on vacation this year, or if you fancy taking another, this is an excellent time to make travel plans. You could be filled with excitement and anticipation in your desire to visit countries you've never seen or take a more adventurous route to a destination. Romantic possibilities could also reveal themselves when you move outside your comfort zone. Your social life gets livelier from Friday, encouraging you to reach out and mingle. Business opportunities seem plentiful, giving rise to some adventurous ideas. Pooling your resources with one or two others could make it easier to make progress and increase your earnings. This won't happen overnight, but you won't go far wrong if you create a sound strategy and find the right people to associate with. The Sun's move into your career sector on Friday encourages you to network with those with powerful connections. And a small windfall could come your way over the weekend!

SCOTTISH FOLKSINGER IN NOVEMBER PERFORMANCE AT THE BAMA THEATRE

cottish folksinger and songwriter Jim Malcolm will be featured in a performance on Acoustic Night on Thursday, Nov. 12, 2015 at 7:30 p.m. at the Bama Theatre. Presented by The Arts Council of Tuscaloosa, the project features both solo and ensemble performances of a wide range of acoustic music throughout the calendar year in the intimate setting of the theatre’s Greensboro Room. Cover charge is $10 with a full service bar available. Travelling the world with his guitar, harmonicas and engaging wit, Jim Malcolm sings the traditional songs of Scotland and his own masterfully crafted songs in a style which is modern and accessible, yet authentic. He is highly regarded as an interpreter of the songs of Robert Burns and has been described as “one of the finest singers in Scotland in any style.” With family roots in Perthshire and Strathclyde, the artist has been a professional musician since graduating from Edinburgh University. His first arena was the folk music scene in Scotland, where he gigged in almost every town and isle from Berwick to Benbecula and from Stranraer to Lerwick. Working solo or in various bands and combos in far flung pubs, hotels and clubs toughened him up for a future life on the road. Solo tours in England, Ireland, Denmark

and Germany followed, including musical adventures in some off-the-charts places like Uganda. The opportunity to join the already established Celtic folk/rock band Old Blind Dogs saw Malcom further explore countries on the European continent and North America, travelling as far as Alaska and Hawaii. Over his eight years with the band, he recorded three studio albums and a live CD. As a solo performer with ten solo CDs to his credit, he is in the top handful of simultaneous guitar and harmonica players in the world. He plays guitar mostly in the folk guitar tuning dadgad in both fingerpicking and plectrum styles. His career highlight of 2011 was a performance of his own songs “Lochanside” and “Battle of Waterloo” with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra at a sold-out concert in Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall. The list of artists who have

performed and recorded his work is steadily growing, but includes Kate Rusby with The Poozies, Beppe Gambetta from Italy, Uiscedwr, The McCalmans, Alyth McCormack, North Sea Gas and Tich Frier. In 2004 Malcolm was voted Songwriter of the Year at the annual Scots Trad Music Awards, and to date he is the most nominated Scots singer for the Scots Singer of the Year Award, having been nominated three times. Alongside his original work, he has recorded a great many Scottish songs, from early ballads through Burns and Tan-

nahill to William Soutar and his great hero, Jim Reid. He enjoys reworking old songs that form the kernel of Scotland’s great folk tradition.

SABAN TALKS TENNESSEE NICK SABAN PRESS CONFERENCE 10-19-15

OPENING STATEMENT: It was certainly a tough, hard fought game. I was proud of our players for the way they responded. I thought we did some good things up front on the offensive and defensive line. The big thing that I think we need to focus on is to not have the kind of breakdowns and mistakes in the game that gives the other team momentum. To me, the focus needs to be on how do you stay locked in and focused on what you need to do to execute. I think this game coming up, the Tennessee game, is special to a lot of people in the state of Alabama, because of the tradition and the rivalry that’s existed here for a long, long time and the history that the game brings. So it’s most certainly a special game to us and to our team to get ready to play a very good game against a very good Tennessee team. Butch Jones has done a really good job. They’ve gotten better and better every year and could arguably be undefeated or a one-loss team this year. Two teams came back and beat them late in games. They came back and beat somebody when they were behind 24-3 — and that’s a pretty good team. They’ve got good players. Offensively, they’re very, very good. Quarterback does a good job. The offensive line does a good job. They’re nationally ranked in a lot of categories. They’ve got two really good running backs — Jalen Hurd and Alvin Kamara have both done a great job for them. Joshua Dobbs, the quarterback, is a very diverse guy playing the position, running and passing. They’ve created a lot of issues and a lot of problems and scored a lot points this year. Defensively, they’ve got a couple of guys nicked up. But they play hard. They’re physical. For the most part, they’ve been hard to score on. That’s something I feel that when we can control the ball, that’s going to be a key in the game. It’s really important to how we play against this team. This team is very sound and solid with their specialists and on special teams. This is the best team they’ve had in a while. ON INJURIES TO DRAKE AND KELLY: Kenyan Drake will practice today. Ryan Kelly is under concussion protocol. When he is normal, which he is very close, we’ll allow him to resume activity. That’s not going to be today, unless something changes between now and practice. It’s not that bad right now. We feel like he will be OK in a few days. But the medical staff has to make that decision.

ON PLAYING BETTER ON THE ROAD THAN AT HOME: I never thought it was an issue until this year, but probably the three best games we’ve played this year have all been on the road, whether it was Wisconsin, Georgia or this past game with Texas A&M. I think it’s a matter of what I talked about before, being able to stay focused on what you need to do to do your job play-in and play-out. Just because you’re at home, whether it’s family, friends, the atmosphere, the distractions that can create, as a mature competitor you can’t be affected by external factors. I’ve looked at our team and I’m like, ‘We play different when it’s 28-6 than we do when it’s nothing to nothing.’ There’s not supposed to be a scoreboard. You’re supposed to have enough killer instinct to keep playing at a high level and executing and doing your job. So it can’t be the scoreboard, it can’t be playing at home, it can’t be the fans. All those things should be positive things that enhance your chances of competition, affects the other team. Something that we’ve just got to continue to address and try to get the players to focus better and do a better job. ON WHETHER LOSING TO OLE MISS HELPED THE TEAM’S FOCUS: I can’t speak about that. I think our team is improving. I don’t think that, as a group of competitors, anybody here is satisfied when they don’t have success. I don’t think that it’s something that, even though it’s human nature that you don’t respond properly when things are going well, you have to have something bad happen to have people change and do things that they could’ve done way before something bad happened. I’m not saying that’s the case with our team. I know we have a lot of competitors on our team that are not satisfied with that performance. We have tried to get better. But my point of emphasis is where we are now and what do we need to do to get better. Those are the things I’ve talked about here today in terms of being able to focus and playing with more consistency. Don’t want to create momentum for the other team by not staying focused in the game and not doing what you need to do to play your best through sixty minutes of football. ON WHAT MADE BAMA’S PASS RUSH EFFECTIVE VS A&M I think they passed the ball a lot. They weren’t able to run it. We created a lot of passing situations, which lets us play the kind of defense and lets the players pin their ears back a little back and us to make calls that enhance pressure. We’re fortunate to have some pretty good guys to execute and do a pretty good job in

that regard. I think when its second and five, it’s hard to rush the passer. When its second and 10, it’s a lot easier. When its third and eight, it’s a lot easier. We created a lot of those situations in the game and were able to affect the quarterback because of it. ON WHERE THE TEAM IS IN TERMS OF FATIGUE AFTER SEVEN STRAIGHT GAMES: We try to control the workload so that our players can get ready to play each and every week. We gave the players two days off a few weeks ago so that they could get some rest and recovery. It goes back to how bad you want to do what you want to do. Everybody controls their focus. If you can’t jump, we can’t fix it. But we can fix your ability to focus. That’s something you choose to do. You can stay focused in this meeting or you can daydream. You can do whatever you want. So that is something you can get people to do. So if you assume you’re tired and assume you can’t focus, then you’re probably right. But if you can stay locked in and focused on what you want to do, then it’s not a problem, because most of that stuff is right here in your head. It’s not anything wrong with you physically. So I think we’re getting better. I think this is an opportunity for us to play better. We certainly need to in certain areas of our team and we need to focus on improving those things. Last week, we wore shells on Monday to eliminate some of the hitting to try to get our team through that. I think it’s, ‘How bad do you want to do something?’ ON JAKE COKER RUNNING OVER DEFENDERS: He’s a tough guy. Why? Do you want him to run out of bounds. I’m just telling you, because sometimes I wish he wouldn’t take the hits, but I kind of like to see the other team’s reaction when he does that. Does it bother you when Derrick Henry does it? No. It doesn’t bother me either. I kind of like it when he runs over them. I mean, it’s the personality of the player. Jake’s a tough, competitive guy. He’s a big guy. He’s getting better and better every week. I don’t want to take his aggressiveness away because we’re fearful that something bad is going to happen. I just don’t coach that way. ON HOW THE ONE-TWO PUNCH AT RUNNING BACK IS WORKING OUT: Well, it’s going well for Derrick Henry. He’s having a great year and certainly done a fantastic job. We would like to get more players involved so that we can sort of spread out some of the load. I think we’d like to get Kenyan Drake more involved. We have other guys that I think can play

running back, as well. But these guys have got to understand that they’ve got to be able to go out there and execute and do the job properly. Do it in practice, prepare themselves well and be able to go execute it in the game. We need more people to do that and I’d like to see it happen at running back, as well. ON THE MATURITY OF TENNESSEE QB JOSHUA DOBBS: Well, he had a good game against us last year. I mean, we played the whole game against him except the first three plays, so maybe it wasn’t his team, but we had to play against him all day. He’s gotten better. You can tell he’s got a great understanding of what the expectation is for him and what he needs to do on offense. I think he’s, it looks like he’s a good leader. I’ve seen the players responding positively to him. I don’t think there’s any question about the fact that the guy is really playing well. I think he’s had a great year. ON EDDIE JACKSON’S IMPROVEMENT: Eddie’s made a lot of plays at corner. He can read run-pass, he’s very instinctive. Some of that stuff, you can teach guys what to do, but that part of it you can’t necessarily get guys in terms of how fast they can react in terms of what they see. I’ve used the baseball analogy with you before. You can teach a guy how to swing the bat and you can teach him what the strike zone is but some guys hit .350 and some guys hit .200. You can’t really teach them what’s a ball and a strike from the time it leaves the pitcher’s hand and gets to home plate. Eddie’s a very instinctive guy so once he learned what to do, learned how to apply it, he reads and reacts to things very quickly. I think that’s what gives him the jump. ON WHETHER MINKAH FITZPATRICK WILL PLAY CORNER OR SAFETY IN THE FUTURE: Right now he’s a corner. But as we’ve done in the past with a lot of freshmen, we try to minimize the multiples. There’s not a lot of carryover between playing corner and playing star in terms of techniques, what you do, repetitions, assignments. So we’ve played so much nickel that only in the games where we’re not going to play a lot of nickel -- like the Georgia game -does he get any reps at all at the corner. But we have no reason to think that he can’t be a very good corner in the future. But I do think that he’s going to have to have some time to practice it and develop there. But I also think he could play safety if he wanted to be a safety. But corners are, you know, a little more difficult to find. He’s certainly been a good one for us so far.
