...listened to in its entirety and had a progression that felt thematically logical and natural. In a way, the three records are like chapters in a book. Unless you're serializing a book you wouldn't separate the chapters, but they're also meant to be these little self-contained segments within the narrative...
...self-produced this album, but you worked very closely with Ryan Francesconi, who arranged the songs, and Neal Morgan who did the percussion. How much input did they have? They were there from the beginning. Ryan and Neal came to my house and we crawled through the songs bar by bar. We talked a lot about meaning and mood and thematic stuff, going into some awkward realms of discussions. I find it awkward to talk about song meaning.

...school's self-reported 70% success rate is based on voluntary follow-up assessments with former students, most of whom agree to participate. A rate that high is almost unheard-of in the diet world. Only 7% of dieters finish Jenny Craig's one-year program, while Weight Watchers counts people who stay even a few pounds under their starting weight as a triumph. But these programs lack the comprehensive approach of Wellspring. Research indicates that therapy-based obesity treatment can be three times as effective as traditional diet-and-exercise models.

I decided to test-drive the top of the line: an immersion circulator from PolyScience ($1,129), which, unlike its less expensive brethren, ensures precisely heated water throughout the process...
That same instinct for self-preservation will probably mean there won't be many outright fights between the two species. "If they hadn't evolved behavioral mechanisms to reduce unnecessary aggression, they would be extinct," Rockwell says, adding, "In 41 years in the field, where I sometimes see 200 bears in a day, I've seen exactly one aggressive encounter...
