...happened at Loma Mar and Rio Nido a couple of weeks before, as torrents of mud filled with debris smashed into dwellings with terrifying force. No one died in the Rio Nido slide, but homeowner Gary LaCombe feels lucky to be alive. He vividly remembers watching a tree's mammoth root ball, 12 ft. in diameter, hurtle toward his kitchen window, then veer off at the last minute, narrowly missing his house. Now LaCombe, along with his wife Phyllis and a few hundred of his neighbors, has been evacuated by county officials, barred from returning home because geologists fear that...
...planets number 15, not nine. They pass their time in Sully's, the Brighton Billiard Club, the Rack, Pockets and in the Boston Billiard Club--just a few of the urban oases which dot the metropolitan landscape of Boston. From unknown to acclaimed, from tiny capsules of kitsch to mammoth monsters of mahogany, these billiard halls are loaded with personality, and though they may be divided by money, by class and by style, they are united by the game, and the game never changes...

...song EP Please Do Not Disturb reflects a myriad of changes for the singer-songwriter. After eight years on the North Carolina independent label Mammoth (though her last two full-length releases were distributed by industry giant Atlantic), Hatfield has chosen a tiny Hoboken indie, Bar/None Records, to put out her latest material. This release comes at a time of conflict for the artist. Though recording and mixing for her upcoming full-length, God's Foot, has been complete for months, the album is stuck in limbo, caught in a bitter copyright war between Mammoth and Atlantic...
