Polica @ Webster Hall, Nov. 2013 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
Polica's second album, Shulamith, came out last year to much acclaim and the band will release a new single from it, "I Need $," on March 3 via Mom & Pop. You can watch the new video for that single, which also includes the song "So Leave," below.
While the band, who were in NYC back in November, haven't announced full tour plans for 2014, Polica will be in NYC before hitting some European festivals. They've got two shows: June 16 at Bowery Ballroom and June 17 at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Tickets for those NYC shows go on sale Friday (2/14) at noon with an AmEx presale starting Wednesday (2/12) at noon. All tour current tour dates are listed below...

Polica @ Webster Hall
"It was clear onstage -- less so than on Polica's two albums -- that the two drummers rarely play in unison. In each song, they've orchestrated a dialogue of half and double speeds, of stolid backbeats behind rushing cymbals, of seismic crescendos that converge from two directions into a furious shared rumble, only to drop suddenly away.Minneapolis pop band Polica brought their tour to NYC last week (11/08) for a show at Webster Hall. Having just released their sophomore LP, Shulamith, they naturally played many songs off of that. Among their encores was a cover of Lesley Gore's "You Don't Own Me," and a stripped down version of "Wandering Star."On Polica's albums, Ms. Leaneagh's voice is often processed through effects that make her nearly unintelligible: a lot of Auto-Tune on the band's debut album, "Give You the Ghost," and other processes on its new album, "Shulamith" (both released by Mom & Pop). The band had some arty rationales for doing so, but the resulting mixes make the songs more remote than they should be.
Live, the combination of ache and back-to-the-wall tenacity in Ms. Leaneagh's voice comes through as clearly as it should; it made perfect sense for Polica to perform Lesley Gore's "You Don't Own Me" among its encores. Stripped of its old electronic clutter, "Wandering Star" -- which Ms. Leaneagh performed simply as a duo with Mr. Bierden's bass -- sounded as sad and solitary as what its lyrics describe: "Now the world turns without me."
Near the end of the set, Ms. Leaneagh suddenly announced, "I'm having, like, one of the worst shows of my life." But she had sung with purity and finesse, and the audience disagreed, loudly." - [New York Times].
It was an all Minneapolis evening at Webster Hall (where Justin Vernon's Volcano Choir recently played when they were in NYC) with Twin Cities supergroup Marijuana Deathsquads opening. The band features Gayngs/Polica member Ryan Olson, Har Mar Superstar (and sometimes Polica's Channy Leaneagh and Drew Christopherson, to name a few) and they brought their noisy, multi-hyphenate show to open, including a chaotic three drummer drone collage. Pictures of both bands are in this post.
Polica still have a ways to go on their tour and all tour dates are listed, along with more pictures from Webster Hall, below...

As discussed, Marijuana Deathsquads will be in NYC before that show for the Totally Gross Natural Product CMJ showcase at Knitting Factory on 10/17 with P.O.S. (who they're also backing), The Cloak Ox, Lizzo, and Pony Bwoy. Tickets for that show are still available.

The xx / Polica at Radio City Music Hall - 9/23/13
The xx may have an intimate sound, but they have no trouble filling big rooms. They sounded great at Terminal 5 last year, and Monday night (9/23) they filled the halls of Radio City with people dancing all the way up to the balconies. Monday night was their first of two shows at the historic venue, both of which are opened by Polica, who share a knack for combining indie pop, R&B, and electronic music. The two bands then did it again last night (9/24) Pictures, videos, and The xx's setlist from night 1 are in this post.

Polica at Governors Ball 2013 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
Polica are releasing their new album, Shulamith, on October 22 via Mom + Pop, and after already releasing one of its tracks, "Tiff" (feat. Justin Vernon), they've just released another, "Chain My Name." You can listen to the new song below.
Polica are also going on a tour this year, which includes two NYC shows with The xx happening on September 23 and 24 at Radio City Music Hall. Tickets for both nights are still available.
In addition to the new Polica album, singer Channy Leaneagh contributed to the upcoming Supreme Cuts album. Supreme Cuts will be in NYC soon when their tour with AlunaGeorge hits Bowery Ballroom (9/5) and MHOW (9/6). Both shows are sold out.
Speaking of Polica collaborator Justin Vernon, his band Volcano Choir are currently streaming their new album in full.

Supreme Cuts in Chicago in 2012 (more by Tyler Trykowski)
Chicago production duo Supreme Cuts are set to release the followup to 2012's Whispers in the Dark with their new album, Divine Ecstasy, on October 1 via Dovecote. The first single, "Envision," features guest lead vocals from Channy of Polica (who they've toured with), and it's one of the poppiest (and best) songs Supreme Cuts have done to date. Check it out below.
Since we last posted, Supreme Cuts have been added as an opener to the previously discussed AlunaGeorge tour, including both NYC shows: Bowery Ballroom on September 5 (sold out) and Music Hall of Williamsburg on September 6 (tickets).

The xx at Governors Ball 2013 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
As mentioned, after playing Governors Ball, The xx and Polica announced that they would be returning to NYC for a show together on September 23 at Radio City Music Hall. Tickets for that show went on sale today, though Ticketmaster is already saying "not many left."
Chances are those tickets will be fully gone pretty soon, but fortunately, The xx and Polica have announced a second Radio City show happening a day later (9/24). Tickets for the newly-added show are on sale now.
Updated dates are listed below...

You may have already heard new Poliça track, "Tiff," that features vocals from Bon Iver's Justin Vernon. That song is from their new album, Shulamith, which will be out later this year, date TBA. That's the cover art above, you can check out the tracklist below and the lyrics to all the album's songs are up on Poliça's website. The band just released the video for "Tiff" which was directed by Nabil (Kanye, Bon Iver, James Blake) and finds singer Channy Leaneagh at odds with herself. It's intense and you can watch it below.
Maybe you caught Channy last night (6/10) at Mercury Lounge where she made a surprise appearance with Marijuana Deathsquads (like we said she would) which also featured both of Poliça's two drummers. Did you go to that show? How was it?
Poliça, who also just played Governors Ball, will next visit NYC opening for The xx at their recently-announced show at Radio City Music Hall on September 23. Tickets go on presale Wednesday (6/12) at 10 AM and the password is "coexist."

Deerhunter at Austin Psych Fest 2013 (more by Tim Griffin)
Governors Ball is less than a month away, and the fest has now released the daily schedule. They've done a pretty good job with not too many giant conflicts -- though there's a few like Grizzly Bear vs Beirut, Bloc Party vs The xx, Erykah Badu vs Beach House, and Nas vs Guns N Roses. Check out the daily line-ups across their four stages below.
Marijuana Deathsquads, the psychedelic and experimental Minneapolis supergroup led by Gayngs' Ryan Olson, have remixed the entirety of POS' 2012 album, We Dont' Even Live Here.

It will be a free download available in June via Rhymesayers but you can stream "Piano Hits" from it below.
After a May residency at Minneapolis' Icehouse, Marijuana Deathsquads -- armed with Polica's two drummers -- will head out on tour in June, with two stops in NYC: Glasslands on 6/8 and Mercury Lounge on 6/10. Tickets for Glasslands are currently on sale, and tickets to Mercury lounge go on sale Friday (5/10) at noon.
All tour dates are listed, plus the POS remix a live MDS radio session and a lyric video, below...
DFA1979 @ Treasure Island Fest 2011 (more by Autumn Andell)
We already knew Japandroids would be playing a Governors Ball afterparty at Music Hall of Williamsburg on June 7. That one is sold-out, but they are far from the only ones in on the afterparty action. There are a bunch happening over the course of the festival (June 7 - 9), which were all announced today.
Friday (6/7) has the most. In addition to Japandroids, there'll be more Canadians afoot with Death From Above 1979 and Fucked Up at Irving Plaza.

For those inclined to dance, Friday night also has Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs DJing at Webster Hall. Those tickets are on sale now.
And one last Friday afterparty: The Revivalists, Roadkill Ghost Choir and Swear & Shake play Bowery Ballroom. Tickets to that go on sale Friday (4/26) with an AmEx presale starting Wednesday at noon.
On Saturday (6/8), Haim and Kate Boy will play Brooklyn Bowl. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (4/26) at noon.

Passion Pit / Alt-J / Purity Ring & Danny Brown / crowd
Coachella 2013 is currently going down in Indio, CA for its second weekend after kicking off this past Friday (4/19). We've already posted pics of day 1 (HERE and HERE), day 2 (HERE) and day 3 (HERE) from weekend 1, and now we've got pictures of day 1 from weekend 2 in this post. This time around we caught sets by Passion Pit, Earl Sweatshirt, Polica, Youth Lagoon, Purity Ring, (who were joined by Danny Brown, whose new album they appear on), Foals, Modest Mouse, Alt-J and more.
Check out more pictures from 4/19, along with a "Coachellavated" video of the festival filmed from the top of director Chris Crutchfield's head and a video of Passion Pit's full set from weekend 1, below...

Polica w/ Justin Vernon at Coachella 2013 (via BrooklynVegan Instagram)
At Coachella 2013 this past week, Polica were joined on stage by singer Channy Channy Leaneagh's Gayngs bandmate Justin Vernon (who was there not with Bon Iver, but with his side project The Shouting Matches) to play a new track, "TIff," which they've just released the studio version of. It's a great track that should appeal to any fans of their debut album, Give You the Ghost, and it probably comes as no surprise that Justin's cameo fits the song perfectly. The track will appear on their second album, which is due at some point this year. Meanwhile, you can stream it below and purchase it on iTunes. Also below are videos of Polica playing "Wandering Star" and "Amongster" at Coachella.

Stone Roses / How to Destroy Angels / Johnny Marr
Coachella 2013 is underway and streaming live. if I had to choose a theme musically for day one (Friday), it would have to be new, solo and side projects. The NY Times agrees...
Friday's lineup was teeming with such line-jumpers, performing with various degrees of laurel-resting. Early in the day came the Shouting Matches, a shambolic blues-esque outfit whose sales pitch is that it includes Justin Vernon of Bon Iver. The group took almost a half-hour for sound check, and its set was almost as loose. Mr. Vernon, such a precise and processed singer in Bon Iver, was here far more at ease, pushing his vocals no harder than the amiable songs demanded.There was also Divine Fits (Britt Daniel of Spoon + Dan from Wolf Parade), Deathfix (Brendan Canty of Fugazi on drums), Grinderman with Nick Cave, Johnny Marr of the Smiths, Trent Reznor of NIN in How to Destroy Angels (who made their live debut days earlier), Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys with his band The Guantanamo School of Medicine, and more. And of course reunions and britrock galore with Blur, The Stone Roses, Sparks, and Jurassic 5 all also playing Friday. Here are our pictures from day one (which do not include Polica, but check out our instagram for a shot of Justin Vernon joining them on stage).Later, in the dance-centric Sahara tent, Dog Blood performed a loud but not thunderous set. It's a collaborative project of Skrillex and Boys Noize, and does not quite live up to Skrillex's typical punishment or Boys Noize's characteristic exuberance.
UPDATE: Day Two pictures are HERE and Day Three pictures are HERE.

Governors Ball 2012 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
As mentioned, NYC music festival Governors Ball keeps growing and its returning this year for it's largest and most exciting festival yet on Randall's Island from June 7 - 9. Early bird 3-day passes go on sale today (1/25) at noon at $190, and once they sell out, they become $205 and then $220. According to the festival's website, single day tickets may or may not become available so if you'd like to go, they advise you purchase a 3-day pass.
The lineup has tons of great names this year and if you're going, we're sure you've got a bunch of stuff lined up to see already, and while you're making your wish list, here's our list of ten bands that we're excited to see at the festival, that you might not want to miss.
Kanye West is one of the headliners, and any chance to catch him in the NYC area is one to take advantage of. It's pretty amazing how far he's come and with seven albums under his belt (including Watch the Throne and Cruel Summer), he's got more than enough material for a hits-filled set, which he tends to do. And there's no telling what else he might do, like break out some snow monster masks or something.
A newer, but no less exciting rapper, Kendrick Lamar, will be there too. He turned the rap world on its head with last year's good kid, m.A.A.d. city, and us New Yorkers only got our chance to see him before its release. So now that we know all the words to his record, we pretty much can't wait to see him perform songs off of it at Governors Ball.
The term "supergroup" doesn't always mean the group is "super," just that the members are all known for other projects. But in the case of Divine Fits, featuring the songwriting talents of Spoon's Britt Daniel and Handsome Furs' Dan Boeckner, it was two great tastes that taste great together. And as a band, Divine Fits were pretty much amazing live right out of the gate, and their danceable vibe is festival-ready.
Deerhunter have been promising a new album for 2013 and while they haven't revealed any formal plans for it, we're hoping to hear some of the new material at Governors Ball. Plus, though we've seen side projects like Atlas Sound, Lotus Plaza, and Moon Diagrams in NYC recently, we haven't gotten an actual Deerhunter show since 2011.
Death from Above 1979 have played NYC a couple of times since reuniting in 2011, and whether you've caught them or not, it's a treat that they have another one on the horizon.
UK art rockers Alt-J became infinitely bigger since first coming to the US last May, and they've got the kind of songs that would sound great on a big outdoor stage. The band have been on tour constantly and we've seen their onstage confidence grow leaps over the visits they've already had here. They should be primed and ready for big crowds by the summer.
Japandroids have already come to NYC a few times in the past year (and those liars said it'd be a while before they came back!) and anyone who has seen them knows every Japandroids show is destined to be a wild time. The band is always nuts on stage and so is the crowd, so it's the kind of thing that will be a killer time at an outdoor festival.
Another band, like Alt-J, that have also had a pretty significant and quick rise since first catching our attention, is Polica, who will be at this year's Governors Ball. Their mix of indie pop and R&B is endlessly catchy and the dueling drummers are a thrill to watch live. Whether you're already a fan or not, they'd be a great band to catch.
Unlike many of the bands on the Governors Ball line-up, it's been a couple years since Australia's Cut Copy have played North America and absence makes the heart grow fonder. CC seem to write their songs with giant crowds in mind and show no shame in working the crowd into a frenzy.
Most of the artists on this list are artists we've been fans of for a while, but festivals are also always good places to discover new artists, and one new group we're excited to see at Governors Ball is Vancouver's Bear Mountain. Last year, they released their debut album, XO, which combined club-ready dance tracks, arena sized atmospherics, and an indie pop sensibility in the songwriting. It's a pretty great mix and sounds like it will be totally fun live. You can stream the album in its entirety below.

Governors Ball, which started as a small NYC festival on Governors Island and moved to the larger Randall's Island last year, keeps getting bigger and bigger. This year's fest takes place June 7th, 8th & 9th, and tickets go on sale Friday. Check out the full lineup, in list, video and flyer format - one unannounced headliner included, below...
"My Morning Jacket was formed in 1998 in Louisville, Kentucky by singer, songwriter and guitarist Jim James (real name: James Olliges Jr). The original line-up also included three members of the Shelbyville emo-punk band Winter Death Club; namely John McQuade (later known as Johnny Quaid - guitar and vocals), Tom Blankenship (later known as Two Tone Tommy - bass) and J. Roberts (later known as J. Glenn - drums)." [Wikipedia]My Morning Jacket will stay busy this holiday season, with three shows at Port Chester's Capitol Theatre (tickets) that lead up to a New Year's Eve show in Boston, and then the Hurricane Sandy relief benefit at Asbury Park's Paramount Theatre on January 2 (tickets), a show that's hosted by Matt Pinfield and also features Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Joseph Arthur, Nicole Atkins, River City Extension, Tangiers Blues Band and "special guests."
MMJ bassist Tom Blankenship (who also recently helped out with Brooklyn Rock Lottery) gave us his list of Top 10 LPs of 2012. While it includes year-end list mainstays Frank Ocean and Alt-J, there are some surprises as well. You can check out his year-end picks below.

Polica @ Webster Hall, 10/6/2012 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
Polica's debut album, Give You the Ghost, has shown up on a few Best Of lists this year (like NME and The Fly) but what records did they like in 2012? Well we've got their Top 10 LPs list right here and is topped by Kendrick Lamar's good kid, m.A.A.d city.
They also give props to Minneapolis pal P.O.S. (with whom they collaborate in Gayngs and Marijuana Deathsquads who have sometimes also played as backing band) whose We Don't Even Live Here makes the list. So does their neighbor Now Now's Threads which was released on Chris Walla's Trans label. Check out their whole list below.

The diagram below shows the key points to measure when calculating size, then simply select the correct size from the chart above. It's best to actually take body measurements rather than measuring over clothes. You shouldn't need to 'size up' or 'down' unless you have a particular fit preference of course.
Back to top
Keep your bra on and measure in inches around your ribcage directly under your bust.
This gives you the band or back size. When measuring, you should always round down! Your underband should be snug, e.g. If you achieve 29.5 ins then round down.
For example: your underband measurement is 29in then add 5 ins - you are a 34.
Now measure around the fullest part of your bust, the full bust measurement less underband = cup size. When measuring, you should always round up!
The over bust measurement should always be generous, e.g. If you achieve 34.5 ins then round up to 35 ins.
width - toes should have room to spread with no bulges at the shoes widest part.length - there should be half an inch (1.25cm) between the end of the shoe and the longest toe.
High leg boots that do not have any stretch material in them will not fit everyone. To find out whether boots will fit, use the calf measurement chart below.
In order to get the most precise measurement it's best to get someone to measure for you.

vacuum of my dreams
Reviewed by: Tamara from Portland, Oregon
I personally have never been a fan of canister vacuums, so to have an upright with a hepa filter was a perfect. This vacuum is much quieter than I expected for the size and power and it doesn't have that "vacuum cleaner smell". I love knowing that the dust is gone for good and not leaking back into the air, and as a bonus... I just love the color!
Carpets finally free of dust
Reviewed by: Mike S. from Mt. Juliet, Tennessee
I have owned the Miele Jazz S7280 since November 2012, and it has removed so much imbedded dirt and dust from my 8 year old carpets that dusting furniture has become less frequent. The ease of use compared to my older Panasonic upright, is not even fair. The Miele is like driving a Mercedes compared to driving a Little Tikes car. It hugs the carpet as it deep cleans, and it assists the forward propulsion with its separate power driven brush. Love it.
Best vacuum ever
Reviewed by: from Daytona Area,Fl
love,love,love this vacuum. I was looking for an upright HEPA vacuum. I did a lot of research and the Jazz seemed to be the best for the money. I had an Orek and this vacuum is so far superior. I can't say enough good about it. The onboard wand is very powerful and is perfect for dusting. The unit swivels similar to the Dyson vacuums. The vacuum is heavy but I have a single story home so I have no problem moving it. It works on hardwood and carpet. The bags do not release any debris once you remove them because they seal shut when removed. Plus each box comes with new filters to replace in the vacuum. I ordered it by 3p one afternoon and it was delivered before lunch the next day!! That's service and Free Shipping!! Can't beat that.
Great Vacuum
Reviewed by: Extremely Satisfied from Indiana
I purchased my Miele Jazz vacuum in March of 2011 and I have to say it is the best vacuum I have ever used. It is so quiet you can actually talk on your phone while vacuuming. It makes my carpet look like new every time I use it. It is very smooth and maneuvers with ease. I love that it actually lays flat to get under the bed. The customer service with Achoo Allergy is also superb!! The ease of use from carpet to ceramic tile is wonderful as well. I have also noticed that I do not smell the vacuum while vacuuming like I did with my old vacuum cleaner which helps with keeping my allergies under control.
Lexus of Vacuum''s!
Reviewed by: Miele Fans from New Jersey
We had a Miele for 15 years prior and NOTHING went wrong until it finally died, so this purchase became about brand loyalty. When it arrived, it was clear Miele did some MAJOR enhancements over the past 15 years! Wow...this thing is a high end vehicle now...with HEPA filters and so many enhancements. The filter bags alone are so impressive in design and purpose...if there is dust in this house its now air locked into the bag and we're no longer just kicking it up. Fantastic build with quality materials. It is heavier so if you have steps, just consider additional weight at least from the Miele we had 15 years ago... but if you have allergies, I don't think you could afford not to get one of these if you want to address the causes resulting from dust. p.s. Never used Achoo Allergy.com but surfed and they provided best price by far. Took a chance and glad we did! Offered over night shipping and received a call from Customer Service to offer a special package...which was so nice! Great attention to service! Highly recommend this company!
best vacuume I have used
Reviewed by: allergy sufferer with pets from Okinawa Japan Us Military
When I received this vacuum it was easy and ready to use right out of the box. The suction that this vacuum has is amazing! I have two dogs and this vacuum picks up all of the hair off of the floor with no problems. The ease and maneuverability is a breeze with the twisting body. I will never go back to a bagless vacuum again!
Awesome! Best Yet!
Reviewed by: Smooth! from Nebraska City, NE
I have owned many different Vacuums and have never been totally satisfied with any of them. I was almost tempted to buy an Oreck or Dyson based on co-workers experiences, until I used them. These Vacs are what I would consider very expensive no value. I used the Dyson to clean out a Paper Shredder and ended up with a sinus infection. The Miele Jazz, which I purchased from Achoo Allergy, is a real value when it comes to performance and attention to detail. I absolutely love it! And, it has exceeded my expectations. Achoo! sent my Vac via next day mail and even sent me a thank you card later. I felt like they appreciated my business. Mark
Smooth and quiet
Reviewed by: Allysonne from Pennsylvania
This is my first Miele brand vacuum. I wanted the Miele Callisto canister to replace a Kenmore canister which is 15 years old and a 1 year old Bissell upright bagless. The Bissell just quit working 2 weeks ago. Additionally, I have an Irobot Roomba which is ok and picks up but doesn't fluff or clean the carpet. The Roomba is better on the hard surfaces. So the Miele is for the wall-to-wall areas. We have 2 dogs and allergies to dust mites. I ended up with the Miele Calypso because the comparison charts recommended it for people with severe allergies, wall-to-wall carpet and pets. My first Calyspso was damaged during shipping, but Achoo immediately sent out a replacement which arrived in perfect condition. So far, it is nice and quiet--my dogs don't run and hide and I talked on the phone while vacuuming. It runs smoothly--so smooth--it just glides along. It cleans the wall edges beautifully. The wand is easy to use, buttons easy to push, it just slides open. I have Fibromyalgia having a vac that is quiet and easy on my hands is very important. I was concerned about the weight, but it moves so nicely that I am no longer concerned about that--however, I do live in a ranch and do not have to carry the vac up or down stairs. The suction seems to be strong--it has even fluffed up the carpeted walkways that were flattened a bit. Best of all the entire machine is closed, no dust or smells are being emitted. This is the first vacuum I can actually say I like.... love maybe.

I have been a big fan of Miele appliances and had a canister when I lived in my loft apartment. I was one of the first customers in achoo's showroom to buy the Calypso. I am an allergy sufferer, so the hepa filter means alot to me. I just got this last week, and it works great on my carpeting.

Catching the Travel Bug: Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam
SARS. The subject was worked into every conversation amongst the expats and long-term tourists in Vietnam. The government claimed that the virus had been contained in several northern provinces, far away from Sai Gon (Ho Chi Minh City to Communist Party officials and fresh-off-the-plane tourists). Still. There were rumors about people's neighbors being taken away in the middle of the night to be quarantined because of a persistent cough. Mostly, that was just speculation, fueled by one too many beers or one too many years in country.
Nonetheless, when I came down with a cough and fever, I had thoughts of gasping for breath in a hidden away hospital ward guarded by CP officials who didn't want their SARS secret to get out. I wrote my illness off as a regular flu bug I'd picked up from being in a classroom teaching eight-year-old Vietnamese kids how to speak English. When my chest started to tighten and my cough to turn into a wheeze, I started to worry a bit more.
I confided in my girlfriend who took me to a doctor who had an after-hours private practice in his home. I was assured that he spoke English. He spoke great Russian because he'd been schooled in Moscow, but only a bit of English (like "Injection" and "Infection"). Between my modest Vietnamese skills and miming and his pidgin of Russian, English, and charades, I was able to get started on an IV of antibiotics. But he wanted an x-ray to rule out the unspoken disease. He kept asking me if I had been up north, to the areas that were hit by SARS. I said no, but he casually slipped a surgical mask on before starting me on the IV.
I got into the x-ray at a hospital the next day. It took two hours in the waiting room, which was not the best experience. Radiology was located by a nurses' station and there were several people on hospital beds just parked in the hallway. I found out from a smiling but nervous lady in a neighboring seat that they were on a death watch. The nurses could keep an eye on them until the end.
The x-ray technician was unfamiliar with practicing his trade on someone of my height. It took 5 tries to get it right. I paid him 150,000 dong ($10 US) to hand the pictures directly to me instead of putting them up with the others.
My next antibiotic session consisted of me and about 4 others, sitting in plastic lawn chairs in the doctor's back room with drips hanging from hooks in the wall. One guy smoked the entire time, but no one said anything.
A few days later, I went through the x-ray ordeal again. This time a smiling technician got it right on the second try. Through my girlfriend the doctor said that he chalked it up to a chest infection.
"No SARS?" I asked.
"No SARS." He chuckled, said something in Russian, and patted me on the shoulder.

Interesting article on travel in different countries.
I think many travelers enjoy the uniqueness of a culture when they do travel. I would also agree, I think most travelers do spend some time in familiarizing themselves with the different languages and customs when traveling.
Some friends recently got back from a cycling tour of Asia. Great reviews!
I think many enthusiast and professional cyclists are interested in cycling tours in different countries around the world. Hopefully, the global economy will get better.
Trek Travel Cycling Tours recently added new destinations spots to Australia, Europe, Asia, North America and more on their vacation of a lifetime tours.
Looks very interesting…

Infosys CEO says has 'pretty strong' order pipeline
BANGALORE (Reuters) - Infosys, India's No.2 software services exporter, has a pretty strong pipeline and expects the number of large order wins in the current quarter to be in line with the previous quarter, chief executive S. D. Shibulal said.
He also said on Monday the company's 100 largest customers had finalised spending plans for 2012 and that their budgets were generally unchanged from the previous calendar year.
"I would at this point maintain that it is flat year-on-year," he said in a telephone interview.
Infosys, the bellwether for the Indian IT services industry, has won orders in the $100 million-$250 million range in the current quarter and may land more such large deals by the time the quarter ends this month, he said.
"Last quarter we had multiple large deal wins. There is nothing telling me at this point that this quarter will be any different. We have quite a few large opportunities in progress and our win ratios are very good," Shibulal said.
Infosys in January said global economic uncertainty weighed heavily on its clients' technology spending decisions, and cut its dollar-sales forecast for the year to March 2013, sending its shares down 8 percent that day.
Even a modest strengthening in the United States, Infosys' biggest market, would thus be positive for the company.
On Monday, analysts at Standard Chartered said that in April Infosys may make a full-year forecast for the next fiscal year that will "surprise" the markets, and raised their rating on Infosys to outperform.
Infosys is looking to build up its presence on the ground in the United States, and plans to open a development center there.
The firm is on track to hire 1,200 people in the United States in the fiscal year that ends this month, and may double U.S. recruitment in the year that starts in April, Shibulal said.
Infosys shares, valued at nearly $33 billion, fell 1.33 percent to close at 2,817.4 rupees in Mumbai on Monday.

Deborah K. Hilleren, 59, of Barnum, died Friday, June 1, 2012, at the Augustana Mercy Healthcare Center in Moose Lake.
Deborah Kay Hilleren (Thielke) was born on May 17, 1953, in Appleton, Minn., the daughter of Willard W. and Ethel Lehne Thielke.
She was baptized in the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in rural Appleton. She attended school in Appleton until 1969, when they moved to Benson. Debbie graduated from Benson High School in 1971 and from St. Cloud State University, summa cum laude with a degree in Business.
Debbie married Daniel Hilleren on Sept. 24, 1973 in Trinity Lutheran Church in Benson. This union was blessed with two children, Jennifer and Sarah. Together they were able to share in 39 years of marriage. Dan and Debbie lived in Sauk Rapids, Duluth, and Barnum, Minn.
She worked at several places as a bookkeeper and then, after returning to college to finish her degree, she worked at Norwest Bank which became Wells Fargo, as an insured risk management specialist. Ill health forced early retirement and she was active with her many flowers and her long time love with cats.
She is preceded in death by her father Willard, and her grandparents, Thea and Alfred Lehne, and Walter and Agnes Thielke.
She is survived by her husband Daniel and her daughters Jennifer Hilleren and Sarah Hilleren (Brad Oreschel); her mother Ethel and step father Marty Haider, of Alexandria; her aunts, Dorothy Hansen, Olive Barth, Ellen Munsterman, and Loretta Thielke, all of Appleton.

I must agree. The guild achievements have been bringing my guild closer and we've been working really hard making an effort to co-operate more, resulting in the environment becoming more involving for everyone, rather than just a few same people doing things together.
Oh well. We'll still chase the achievements because we can.

What happens to a dual voltage (120/240) electric motor if it's wired for 120v and run on 240v or the opposite 240v on 120v? |
19 replies so far
#1 posted 1651 days ago |
Compare it to a light made for 12 volts and connect it to 24 volts (burns) connect it to a 6 volt (dim light) |
#2 posted 1651 days ago |
If its wired for 220 and plugged into 110 it runs really slow, theres probably a good heat buildup on it too which can lower life span. Not sure about the other direction, probably really bad. |
#3 posted 1651 days ago |
I know of no machine designed for 220 which will operate in 110 or any 110 which will operate on 220.That's been my experience anyway.However a dual voltage should technically operate on both or should I say either,with a flick of a switch built underneath perhaps,or the use of a step up step down transformer.Alistair -- excuse my typing as I have a form of parkinsons disease |

It's probably buy a new motor time. -- I've been blessed with a father who liked to tinker in wood, and a wife who lets me tinker in wood. Southern Delaware firstname.lastname@example.com † |

Your right a1jim diagram will help and it is a common motor all he has to do is change the wires to what he needs. |

Question |
#8 posted 1651 days ago |
GMan is right If you hook up a motor that's wired for 220 volts to a 110 volt source it will run very slow or not at all. If you were to leave it that way it will burn out. If you wire the motor for 110 volt service and plug it into 220 volts it will burn OUT. The addition of a transformer will work but Just change the wiring, if you can. If you add a transfromer to reduce the voltage to 110 volts from 220 volts you need to keep in mine the current that the motor is drawing so the transformer needs to be sized properly. -- Dominic, Trinity, Florida...Lets be safe out there. |
#9 posted 1651 days ago |
If the motor was wired for 120V and run on 240V you should be ok, assuming its all single phase power. Your motor has a power rating, lets say 3 hp (2240 watts). Since Volts x Amps = Power, if you run it on 120V you will pull about 18.5 amps, and when you run it with 240V you will pull 9.5 amps. So with that in mind, all wiring is sized based on the amount of current flowing through the wire. The larger the current, the larger the wire size needed to carry the current. So if your motor was wired for 120V (18.5 amps) and you ran it with 240V (9.5 amps) you should be safe from any overheating or fire hazard. HOWEVER, if you did the other way…...I hope you have a fire extinguisher! Hope this helps. -- J. KUGEL Kirkland, WA |
#10 posted 1651 days ago |
Answer 1 hot, 1 neutral, and 1 ground. I would get the information as to make, model, hp, off the motor and then check for the manufactors web site to try and get a wiring diagram off of it. Hope that helps…. |
#11 posted 1651 days ago |
Kugel it will run on 220 but it will have half the hp that it shold have. |
#12 posted 1651 days ago |
GMman, I was talking strictly from a safety/fire hazard standpoint, not performance charateristics. -- J. KUGEL Kirkland, WA |
#13 posted 1651 days ago |
Yes safety is always first but the only thing that would burn would be the motor it would go dead. |
#14 posted 1651 days ago |
I have burn motors before and you don't get a fire. |
#15 posted 1651 days ago |
Good for you GMman, im glad you have never had to deal with an electrical fire. However, for you to say there is no risk of fire when a motor is burning up is just plain wrong. The NEC was produced for a reason…. -- J. KUGEL Kirkland, WA |

I was very concerned so I made and appt to see my dr yesterday afternoon. Right away he thought it could be clamydia. I asked about the possibility of being a UTI and he dismissed that because its rare in men?
Before leaving I gave the dr a urin sample. He told me to call him in a week for results and he also prescribed me cipro for an infection.
Of course I'm very concerned now. I've only been with my gf and I know she hasn't been with anyone else. Is there anything this could be?View Thread

De-mythologizing the creepy bird mummies of Northern Tanzania.
The internet can be a spooky place, haunted by goblins and trolls (lots of trolls) and seedy mischief makers who roam its dark corridors with nothing better to do than frighten the more wholesome members of our online community. To a troll, everyday is Halloween.
And everyday, the internet ghouls wrap their tentacles around quirky news stories in order to cast a pall of darkness upon your Facebook feed. In this instance, it's the story of a lake in northern Tanzania that instantly turns all its living inhabitants into stone! "OMG NOOO THAT LAKE IS EVIL AND KILLS PRETTY FLAMINGOS" was basically the internet's reaction.
A century ago, kids dropped the cute act and brought the fear at Halloween.
Today, there are too many rubber reproductions, faulty costume props, and half-ass celebrity impersonators. The origins of fright lived centuries ago and their hand-made creations trump anything you'll find on Amazon.
In all these images, the costumes are all original pieces. Which is disturbing. They're costumes inspired solely through one's imagination. Stripped of mass-made props, these hand-made costumes crank up the eeriness with ease.
Don't walk down the dark, haunted hallway, we've got your horror guide, right here.
We're about to get creepy. Very, very creepy. It's the eve of All Hallow's Eve, and Huckberry's got some treats, and a few tricks up our sleeve.

These skeletal saints have their own spooky story.
In the late 1500s, a series of tombs were discovered beneath the streets of Rome. Interred therein were the long-decayed skeletons of early Christian martyrs.
Exhumed, these skeletons were sent to churches throughout Europe where they were dressed with wigs, expensive cloth, crowns, and rare jewels. So-dressed, they were replacements for the holy relics lost to the Protestant Reformation.
Eye catching with a story to boot, these are costumes that would prompt a lot of conversation.
Michael Paul Smith brings us back in time with his model size community, Elgin Park.
Michael Paul Smith developed, what he calls, a "quirky hobby." After having collected 300 diecast model cars (The Danbury Mint, The Frankin Mint, and West Coast Precision Diecasts), Michael sat back and realized that having these replicas sit on his shelves wasn't enough.
He wanted to contextualize them. He built a 1/24th scale gas station. It wasn't enough. Before long, he had built fifteen dioramas. All scale. All with a vigilant attention to detail. He began calling his fictional town Elgin Park.
Three fall cocktails to warm your belly, from our friends at Mason Shaker.

Here's three deliciously simple drinks, right in time for the cold weather. If your bar's in need of that handy shaker jar, head over to the shop to pick one up. And, check out more season cocktail recipes in the beautifully laid out, easy-to-understand, freshly released book by Mason Shaker, Shake: A New Perspective On Cocktails.

If Cuba's communist regime can't be destroyed by a singer with a frenetic stage presence and an association with the term "Bootylicious" and a rapper who once shot his older brother and did an album called "American Gangster," then it's probably impervious to change from the exceptional American entertainer, let alone the average American.
Heaven knows, we've tried everything else for the last 53 years, perhaps even exceeding Albert Einstein's definition of insanity, of doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
Beyoncé Knowles and her husband, rapper/businessman/clothing designer Jay-Z, have just returned from five days in Cuba playing tourist on what was clearly a vacation. And that's illegal for everyday Americans not of Cuban descent.
The more heated members of the Cuban-American delegation in Congress wanted the couple met at the airport and frog-marched off to custody for violating U.S. laws on trade and travel to Cuba — those are the aforementioned laws with a half-century of proven failure — laws apparently drawn up by Franz Kafka and George Orwell after a heavy night of drinking Cuba Libres.
Traveling to Cuba is forbidden for most Americans. Thanks to the Cuban-American lobby, it's the only country that is. The thinking is that the presence of American celebrities confers legitimacy on the regime and provides it much-needed cash to oppress its people, even though this is rather undermined by the fact that Canadians, Europeans and Latin Americans come and go freely.
Dennis Rodman went to North Korea, a country infinitely crazier and more dangerous than Cuba, and everybody, including the U.S. government, treated it as a great lark, even though his host, Kim Jong Un, might be certifiably nuts.
Americans need a license to travel to Cuba. They're easier to obtain — "easy" being a relative term — for journalists, academics and performers whose schedules leave them no leisure time to overthrow the government.
Some travelers skip the process altogether and go through a third country, confident that Cuban border officials will leave their passports unstamped, although Treasury, if it thinks the offense egregious enough to be worth pursuing, can impose large fines.
Cuban hard-liners in Congress demanded to know how Jay-Z and Beyoncé got permission to go to Havana, although the fact that Beyoncé sang the ballad "At Last" for the first couple's first dance at the 2009 inauguration might have told them something. And they are two of President Barack Obama's biggest supporters and donors in the entertainment industry.
Conservative Arizona GOP Sen. Jeff Flake tweeted, "So Beyoncé and Jay-Z are in Cuba? Fine by me. Every American should have the right to travel there."
With risky countries, the State Department role should be to caution Americans against traveling there, explain that there is little the department can do for them if they get in trouble and otherwise wish them a safe trip.

I have been working at Globe University full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – Helping people reach their career goals by getting an education. The company is also good at being transparent and maintaining accreditation standards. Job placement numbers are accurate and higher than other colleges. Several locations make it more convenient for students to take classes.
Cons – Pay is lower than other similar technical colleges for same jobs, which had led to lots of turnover from faculty and administrative positions. Morale is pretty low because of major layoffs over the last 2 years. Corporate office is full of empty cubes. Employees walk around on pins and needles. The bottom line of higher enrollments and cost saving efforts seems to outweigh employee and student satisfaction.
Advice to Senior Management – The school is privately held by a single family who make most of the decisions. The college grew too fast, too soon and as the enrollments slowed, layoffs became immenent. Change is discussed, but implementation is very slow and tedious and has increasingly become more bogged down by policy and procedures.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
