by Maria Taylor Lynn Teeter Flower MUSIC Maria Taylor is no stranger to the indie pop world. She first made a name for herself with the ambient pop duo Azure Ray, releasing three critically acclaimed albums alongside her musical partner, Denda Fink. The soft-skinned vocals and soothing music of her group are typical indie rock, but were different from the bubblebum pop ruling the airwaves. Taylor's second solo release, Lynn Teeter Flower, sees her continuing her affectionate pop music backed by several new sounds and influences, it showcases some of Tayler's most diverse and interesting work to date, and does just what a second album should do — show growth. "The album dabbles in a little bit of everything, from the synthesizer and drum-driven "A Good Start" to "fish Goodbye," in which Taylor tries a brazy acoustic-pop tune backed with a hop-hop style drumbeat. On "Replay" Taylor dabbles in jazz with offbeat drum accents and a light wing feel, with its catchy rhythm and showcasing her agitated side with the lyrics. "And there was nothing in my clenching fist, and I just can't wait..." But perhaps the best song on the album is the intimate folk of "Clean Getaway," in which Taylor's usually quiet voice meses to her in a haunting way. But the most beautiful song? Taylor has penned With Lynn Teeter Flower, Taylor shows new sides to her talent and, like a young flower, proves her talent is still growing. MOVIE Breach ★★★ Director Billy Ray is like the youngest sibling who just found out that the biggest present under the tree belongs to him. The colossal gift is the true story of FB Agent Robert Hansen which would normally be reserved for a well-established Hollywood heavyweight. The movie Ray has crafted it is his sophomore effort, *Breech*. Hansen Kansas City, MO, native Chris Cooper) is a fair man, who enjoys nothing more than a Sunday morning mass followed by a mony in the backyard with his grandchildren. But he has a secret $1.4 million worth of FB1 secrets sold to the mob. He is also a victim of the agent hopeful chosen to try to expose Hansen while posing as his aide. The incredible story eager to unveil itself Ray employs a rather laissez faire approach. This is a smart, modest decision, and one that Ray older more egalitarian Hollywood brothers would no doubt have trouble with the young curly-brunched do with the young curly-brunched in US history at his fingerprint). Ray's only directorial upside is coating him the overuse of his soundtrack in the early gongs — a transparent attempt to generate the response that is not properly created with the instrument. The soundtracks of thorna plating for the first 45 minutes. Cooper elevates the performance of those around him, and deserves partial credit for completing Phillips's resurrection from a troubled childhood. Cooper plays a more or less lttwed version of his American Beauty character. Col Frank Fitts. His ability to appear so uniquely straight-laced convinces Phillips' character and the audience who both must be aware of the unpleasantness. The attitude-action dichotomy makes for a compelling finish; the magnificently shot scene of Hansen's arrest poses wonders about his relationship with his beauty, when Fitts reveals his homosexuality. ALL RATINGS ARE OUT OF A POSSIBLE FIVE STARS. 90 minutes www.breachmovie.net PG-13 www.breachmovie.net Ian Stanford ★★★1 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 is always a better choice for the carnivore in you, she says. Though fast food restaurants are on the night track by offering large salads as dinner options, Sandy says what's loaded onto these vegetable plates that is packing up the calories "Cheese is good but it's going to add on extra calories. Sprinkles a small amount and leave off the bacon bits and those additional add-ins like fried noodles and roasted nuts," she says. She also advises that fast food patrons hold the creations and other salty tappings, which add more sodium to the meal. The body only needs 1,500 milligrams of sodium a day to function properly, but most Americans eat upwards of 6,000 to 8,000 milligrams of sodium per day. Sandy says, A healthy intake to shoot for is 2,000 to 3,000 milligrams per day, she says. If you counting calories know that women need about 1,800 a day and men can have up to 2,200 a day. Saysamon this breaks down to about 600 calories for a woman and three to a meal/day plan. Sandon advises that consumers factor in their drinks and side orders too, because even though a salad, such as the McDonald's Crispy Chicken Caesar Salad, may have 500 calories, what you have with that meat — water, soda or juice — makes it more nutritious for your calorie intake for that meal. Watch your waistline by educating yourself on whats in yoursalad. Fast food restaurants keep nutrition facts updated on their Web sites for each item on their menus. Know what name of dish you mind when you are tempted by a seemingly healthy salad.
