Not much of an improvment.
The first chapter was not that great and this is not much better. You really need an editor. Now you have witchcraft so it fits the scifi area at least. If you looked in the mirroe and saw you gained 120 lbs in the reflection you would not just continue on like it was not there. Having sex and you gain a bunch of weight and your boyfriend walks out on you I doubt getting to your cart would be the first thought in your mind. You would be freaking out and he would have also freaked out. The characters are not acting as they would act in the situations. She hates fat people but has become a fat person and just accepts it? The changes of tenses makes it hard to follow.
You have a good idea just need to find someone to help you with the plot and edit it.by AhzureDragon11/09/12Fail
Do you even know anything about being Pagan? If you did then you would know Emo and Pagan are two different things. And a Pagan would not put a curse on someone... that three fold comes back on them as well. I think you need to develop more extensive writing skills and try using a thesaurus. Also this story truly needs an editor review. Personally I think this story is a flop. I do not believe it is very well thought out. The most helpful suggestion I can give you is start the story over, do research before you just start labeling your characters, and find someone to edit and critic the story before re-posting it for readers.

Transport system satisfies need for speed, flexibility
Excellent operation
Within hours of being picked the strawberries are routed through a procession of manual and automatic work stations—from infeed through palletizing. The VarioFlow chain conveyor system links the manual work stations and outfeeds the filled baskets to the weighing station where fruit is added or removed to meet target weights. The new system transports three basket sizes (from 250-g to 1000-g) at speeds up to 50 meters per minute. In a 24-hour operation as much as 1100 tons of strawberries can be conveyed.
The speed and flexibility of the VarioFlow were decisive factors in choosing the conveyor system according to Piedra Chaves. He emphasizes "With fresh produce time is of the utmost importance to be able to remain competitive. We were immediately thrilled by the modular construction and the resulting flexibility in the entire system. In our field we have to be able to quickly react to changing market demands and be able to adapt our production. The VarioFlow plus the modular aluminum profile components provide us with the best basis for this."

Mug Displays The Way You Like Your Brew
The Drink Selector Mug ($24) is a receptacle for hot liquids that has three metal bands around it. The top band is turned to indicate if you prefer coffee or tea. The second band indicates your milk preference (breast, etc.), and the third your sugar. Now I don't know how things are done in other offices, but here I have to make my own damn coffee. Which is actually a good thing, because my coworkers don't really like me. The last time I did get a fellow employee to bring me a mug I'm pretty sure it was urinated in. Now call me crazy, but I like my coffee the same way I like my women -- with no penis involved. So I make it myself, sans dong. Okay, maybe just to stir in the milk.
Drink Selector Mug ensures a perfect brew, every time [dvice]
Suck UK is at it again, this time bringing us MyCuppa Mugs that have a coloring guide on the inside rim to ensure the proper ratio of coffee/tea to milk. They cost about $15, and are a must if you work with the coffee brewing idiots that I do. Every time I scream at someone t... / Continue →

text: 719 FXUS64 KMAF 281752 AFDMAF AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 1152 AM CST Fri Feb 28 2014 .DISCUSSION... We have updated portions of the northern Permian Basin and Rolling Plains to increase winds for this afternoon. The morning NAM run showed an enhanced wind jet at both 700 mb and 850 mb moving across the affected areas this morning and into the afternoon hours. The GFS also shows this feature...although to a lesser degree. Current observations indicate that these winds have mixed to the surface...probably closer to the NAM solution...resulting in surface wind gusts in the 40 mph range. We would expect these winds to slowly diminish during the early afternoon as stronger winds aloft shift farther to the east. Minor adjustments were also made to cloud grids over the Guadalupe and Davis Mountains. Please see the 18z aviation discussion below. && .AVIATION... VFR conditions are expected through the forecast period. Gusty surface winds are expected this afternoon at TAF locations and again tomorrow after 17Z. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 419 AM CST Fri Feb 28 2014/ DISCUSSION... Fairly tranquil and very warm conditions into Saturday before sharply colder temperatures arrive Sunday behind a strong cold front. A s/w crossing the TX Panhandle this morning will keep winds on the strong side over the northern half of the Permian Basin today. This combined with low rh`s will present a fire danger risk. Please see the discussion below. Temperatures should warm well into the 70s and 80s today with a downsloping, westerly sfc wind. Similar sfc conditions are expected Saturday while mid level flow begins to shift to southwesterly ahead of an approaching West Coast trough. This will be the warmest day with temperatures will into the 80s to near 90 along the Pecos River. Mid level winds also increase across the Guadalupe Mountains and adjacent plains on Saturday, but high level clouds may prevent much mixing. Guidance suggests winds should stay below warning criteria at GDP while possibly reaching advisory levels in parts of Eddy Co. Sunday presents a forecast challenge with major disagreement in the models when it comes to frontal timing. As the upper trough approaches the area from the west, a fast moving s/w will move across the Northern Plains Sunday morning. The former wave should give a strong cold front a good push south. The GFS and ECMWF are weaker with the northern wave and thus keep the cold air lodged north of the area until the western trough passes late Sunday. The NAM however pushes the front quickly south into the region Sunday morning. Given what happened this past Tuesday with the last front and the very cold airmass sitting across the northern U.S., will side more with the NAM and bring the front through early Sunday. This will greatly affect highs Sunday with temperatures likely falling or remaining steady behind the front. Have lowered highs several degrees across most of the Permian Basin with the possibility of temperatures being even colder. There could also be a few showers across the east on Sunday with the trough passage. Temperatures will be well below normal Monday with a quick rebound by midweek. Several waves will pass just to our north next week within northwesterly flow aloft. Will keep the forecast dry for now, but this will need to be watched, especially across eastern areas. Fire Weather... A strong mid level jet will move over the northern Permian Basin and Western Low Rolling Plains this morning, and although it will move east of the region by afternoon, think it will contribute to gusty westerly winds in these areas. Since there will be a fairly tight surface pressure gradient through 28/18Z, and conditions will be dry enough for RH/s around 15 percent, will issue a Red Flag Warning for Dawson and Howard counties, and the counties to the east. The Warning will be in effect from 28/16Z until 01/00Z. Near critical fire weather conditions will be possible over much of the rest of the forecast area, to the north of Interstate 10. But RH/s will struggle to drop below 15 percent in these areas, not to mention 20 foot winds will struggle to stay above 20 mph sustained. Recovery tonight will be fair in most locations. Southwest winds will increase to 15 to 25 mph across much of the forecast area Saturday, while warmer than normal temperatures result in minimum afternoon RH/s of 10 to 20 percent. However, the stronger winds will occur in the Guadalupe Mountains and southeast New Mexico Plains where RH/s will likely stay above 15 percent, for the most part. RH/s will dip to 10 to 15 percent from the Davis Mountains, northeastward through the Permian Basin. But 20 foot winds in these areas will struggle to surpass 20 mph sustained. Therefore, will call for elevated fire weather conditions over most of the area, but expect critical conditions will be few and far between. Recovery Saturday night will be poor to fair generally west of a Hobbs to Fort Stockton to Sanderson line, and good or better to the east. On Sunday, a cold front will move into the area and limit even elevated fire weather conditions. There could be gusty westerly winds in the Guadalupe an Davis Mountains, but minimum afternoon RH/s look to stay above 15 percent. Cooler than normal temperatures will prevail over the region Monday, and possibly Tuesday. && .MAF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NM...NONE. TX...RED FLAG WARNING until 6 PM CST this evening FOR THE FOLLOWING ZONES... Borden...Dawson...Howard...Mitchell...Scurry. && $$ 03

PadMapper makes apartment hunting less awful, almost fun. It does this by plotting the apartments on a big map, and letting you filter for exactly what you want. There are also neat overlays to help you learn about the different areas.
My goal with PadMapper is to make apartment hunting into something people no longer dread. It shouldn't have to be harder than buying a car. You shouldn't have to deal with slimy people. You shouldn't have to make big Excel spreadsheets to keep track of what you've seen and what you think. Landlords should respond to your emails, and once you move in, you should be treated well. I'm going to help make it that way.
I was looking for a place with some friends in NYC in the summer of 2008, and it ended up taking us 6 months. This was our first time, so we got scammed more than once by brokers and shady landlords.
In between scams, I sifted through thousands of Craigslist listings, and it was getting to the point where I was losing hope. It was like wading through my spam folder trying to find real emails. I'd click and read each listing, only to find out that it was in a bad location, or it looked like a slum, or there was a toilet in the kitchen, or it was too "cozy" to fit a double bed.
So, I ended up writing what became the first version of PadMapper to do most of the sifting for me and generally make the hunt better. I've used it and the iPhone app in 3 apartment hunts since then, and it has found me a place quickly each time.
I hope it helps you and your friends find a great place to live. Good luck with your hunt!
If there's anything that confuses you, or you see any bugs, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Feedback really helps - user feedback is the reason PadMapper is what it is today.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"I really like this invitation style. It's simple, initmate, and gorgeous. The quality of the paper is great. The only thing I noticed with the photos is after printing, they're not quite as sharp as they are in the digital version. I'm not sure if this is because of the type of paper used or what, but it didn't ruin the invitation for me. I still think it looks good. Another issue I had was the way the invites are packaged. They come in a shrink wrap, and it's difficult to get the plastic casing off without scratching the invitation itself. Luckly, it just scratched the last one, and I had ordered a few extra, so I just kept that one to be for myself. I customized my color and wording on the inside. It was remarkably easy. I just googled the values for the color I'm using (royal blue) and put in the values. It made me a little nervous since I couldn't see it in person beforehand, but it looks great."
"After looking at samples from a number of different companies I decided to order my wedding invitations from Wedding Paper Divas and I'm really glad I did! I submitted my artwork and within 2 days they had a digital proof for me to look at. I even received a phone call to let me know it had been sent. At this time I decided to make a quick change and they had a new proof to me within the hour. I was expecting to wait a couple weeks before receiving them but within 2 days of approving my final artwork they were already at my door! They look great, feel great and I'm so excited to send them out! Thank you for your excellent customer service!! I will highly recommend you to anyone I know that needs invitations and will be sure to come to you again when I need anything else!"
"This invitation is absolutely amazing! The quality is perfect. I could not have asked for a more perfect invite to set the tone for our formal wedding! And the custom charcoal color came out to match perfectly!"
"This card first caught my eye because grey was one of my wedding colors. I loved this design because it was simple and elegant. I also loved that the inside contains a picture of your choice. We had a destination wedding at Lake Crescent in Washington and I thought a picture of the lake would be beautiful and enticing to our guests. The invitation looked and felt high quality. And surprising to me, the picture came out very well for how much color it contained and how detailed of a photograph it was! This invitation was very different from any I have ever recieved. Everyone loved them!"
"I was VERY happy with my invitation! The only thing I wished was different was that I wanted inner envelopes and they do not come with this invitation."

Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a type of radiation therapy that uses three-dimensional, computer-generated images to more accurately match radiation to the size and shape of a patient's tumor. It is one of the most significant breakthroughs in radiation treatment in the last 30 years.
The therapy, which has been successfully used to treat tumors in the spine, head, neck, prostate, lung, liver and brain, allows the delivery of higher radiation doses with minimal complications for surrounding healthy tissue. For example, a tumor that surrounds the spinal cord can be effectively treated with IMRT with less radiation reaching the spinal cord. IMRT is especially helpful for patients who experience a recurrence of disease in an area already treated with conventional radiation therapy.
IMRT employs a powerful, advanced computer program to plan the precise dose of radiation in three dimensions, based on the individual tumor size, shape and location. The technique also directs radiation at the tumor and modulates the intensity of the radiation.
The newest dual energy linear accelerator, with upgraded hardware and software, takes us directly into the 21st century. Three-dimensional conformal therapy, such as IMRT, is being used to treat breast and prostate cancer, larger abdominal masses and lymphoma, while minimizing toxicity to the liver, stomach and small intestine.

Paternity DNA Testing in our private Perth Amboy New Jersey office, one of our many other offices, or mobile testing where we meet you! Determining relations, or possible relationships, between family members will lead to a family secured from unanswerd questions or acquisitions. Paternity finds the bond between Mother, Farther and Child.
The unmarried birth rate is at an all-time high in the United States, topping out at in confirmed statistics at 36.8% in 2006 and possibly as high as 40% in 2008. Social and governmental agencies alike are coping with establishing paternity for children.
Grand Paternity seeks to establish and secure the bind across generations. Paternity Testing NOT just for parents anymore!
According to AARP, nearly 6 million children are raised in households headed by grandparents or other relatives; 2.5 million of these children are without parents in the household at all, leaving their care and upbringing to their grandparents or other relatives. In light of the high out-of-wedlock birth rate, some grandparents must take an extra step and establish their biological relationship through DNA testing in order to gain legal guardianship or visitation rights to their grandchild.
Siblingships DNA testing can forever and truthfully bind brothers and sisters. Whether the family members are all located in Perth Amboy New Jersey, or anywhere else in the world, our case manager assigned to your case will do all the required coordination of DNA Testing needed among all the members, no matter where they are located.
Forensics DNA collection and analysis gives the criminal justice field a powerful tool for convicting the guilty and exonerating the innocent. DNA profiling (also called DNA testing, DNA typing, or genetic fingerprinting) is a technique employed by forensic scientists to assist in the identification of individuals on the basis of their respective DNA profiles. DNA profiles are encrypted sets of numbers that reflect a person's DNA makeup, which can also be used as the person's identifier. DNA profiling should not be confused with full genome sequencing. It is used in, for example, parental testing and rape investigation.
Infidelity DNA testing for people who suspect their partner is being unfaithful. This DNA Test is done on an artifact such as clothing, to test for the presence of another person's genetic material. You can visit our office in Perth Amboy NJ to submit this item(s) or mail it to us. Since ONLY one case manager will be hamdling your case, you can be assured of the upmost in privacy and security. A Chain of Custody test can be performed, for acceptance and use in a legal matter in New Jersey.
Identification Genetic material that is found in DNA is a unique identifier, used for identifying a particular individual as the source of the human genetic material in a sample such as semen, blood, or hair.
Crime DNA analysis is a powerful tool because each person's DNA is unique (with the exception of identical twins). Therefore, DNA evidence collected from a crime scene can implicate or eliminate a suspect, similar to the use of fingerprints. It also can analyze unidentified remains through DNA comparisons from relatives.

State Mercury-Added Product Ban & Phase-out GuidanceGuidance on Compliance with Product Bans and Phase-Out Requirements for Mercury-Added Products Sold & Distributed in the United States Updated October 2013 This Guidance Document is designed to help manufacturers, importers, and distributors of mercury-added products understand how to comply with specific mercury-added product bans and phase-out requirements in the United States. Throughout this document, text that is highlighted in green indicates that the material is hyperlinked to additional information and guidance on that topic. What Is a Mercury-added Product? A mercury-added product is a product, commodity, or chemical with one or more components that contain mercury or a mercury compound intentionally added to provide a specific characteristic, appearance, or quality, or to perform a specific function. Some state definitions also include products that cannot function without the use of a mercury-component, even if the component is not intially sold with the product. These products include formulated mercury-added products and fabricated mercury-added products. A fabricated mercury-added product is a combination of individual components, one or more of which has mercury added, that combine to make a single unit. A formulated mercury-added product is a chemical product, including but not limited to laboratory chemicals, cleaning products, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and coating materials that are sold as a consistent mixture of chemicals. Why are the States Banning and/or Requiring Phase-Out of the Sale of Certain Mercury-Added Products? What Mercury-Added Products Have Mercury-Added Product Sales Bans and/or Phase-Outs? What States Have Mercury-Added Product Sales Bans and/or Phase-Outs? What Is the Difference Between a Product Ban and a Phase-Out? How Can Manufacturers Apply for an Exemption to the States' Phase-out Requirements? Applicants for exemptions to the states' sales phase-out should complete and sign a Mercury-Added Product Phase-out Exemption Application Form. Applications are generally due one year before the effective date for which they are seeking an exemption. Are There Fees Associated with the Exemption Application Process? Can Manufacturers Claim Confidential Business Information for Mercury-Added Products? What is the Role of IMERC in Assisting the States with Implementation of their Mercury-Added Product Bans and Phase-out Exemptions?
Decisions regarding approval of mercury-added product phase-out exemptions are made by each individual state environmental agency. Upon approval of a phase-out exemption application, the state sends a letter to the applicant detailing the approval, the period of time over which it applies, and the schedule for reporting on the effectiveness of the proposed collection system. Use of the IMERC process is strongly encouraged to avoid duplication of effort by all concerned, but is not required. Companies may choose to submit exemption applications to individual states, and should do so if they wish to designate some or all of the application as confidential business information, since IMERC is not equipped to handle CBI submittals. Where more than one state receives an exemption request covering the same mercury-added products, the states can be expected to consult extensively with each other to achieve an appropriate level of consistency across jurisdictions. This section presents information about mercury-added product sales bans and product phase-outs. You may view by Product Category or State: Mercury Content Restrictions - This category applies to the states of Connecticut, Louisiana, and Rhode Island. These states require phase-out of the sale of mercury-added products according to the amount of mercury the products contain.
Automobile Switches - This category covers mercury-added switches used in automobiles, such as convenience light switches and anti-lock brake (ABS) switches. Some states broadly define this product category as any vehicle switch that opens or closes an electrical circuit or gas valve.
Button-Cell Batteries - This category includes mercury-added zinc air, silver oxide, and alkaline manganese oxide button-cell batteries sold individually or as a component in another product.
Dairy Manometers - A specific type of mercury-added manometer that is used to measure the pressure in milk lines or in milking machines on dairy farms.
Diostats - A specific type of mercury switch that controls a gas valve in an oven or oven portion of a gas range or stove.
Fever Thermometers - A specific type of thermometer used for measuring body temperature.
Measuring Devices - This category includes: barometers, esophageal dilators, bougie tubes, gastrointestinal tubes, flow meters, hydrometers, hygrometers, psychrometers, manometers, pyrometers, and sphygmomanometers, unless otherwise noted. Dairy Manometers, Fever Thermometers, and other Thermometers (e.g., laboratory) are listed separately.
Miscellaneous - This category applies to those mercury-added products that do not currently fit into one of the other product categories.
Novelty Items - Any mercury-added product intended mainly for personal or household enjoyment or adornment, including items intended for use as practical jokes, figurines, adornments, toys, games, cards, ornaments, yard statues and figures, candles, jewelry, holiday decorations, and footwear and other items of apparel.
Switches & Relays - A mercury switch is a product that opens or closes an electrical circuit or gas valve, such as float switches, tilt switches, pressure switches, temperature switches, and flame sensors. A mercury relay is a product or device that opens or closes electrical contacts to effect the operation of other devices in the same or another electrical circuit, such as displacement relays, wetted reed relays, and contact relays. Automobile Switches and Diostats are switches used in specific applications and are listed separately.
Thermometers - A mercury thermometer is used for measuring temperature. Fever Thermometers (also known as basal thermometers) are used specifically to measure a person's body temperature and are listed separately.
Thermostats - A product or device that uses a mercury-added switch to sense and control room temperature through communication with heating, ventilation, or air-conditioning (HVAC).

WENHAM — The town will now have a convenience store that sells beer and wine.
Selectmen, who also serve as the town's Licensing Board, unanimously voted Tuesday night to grant the town's only package store license to Richdale on Topsfield Road. The public hearing process started on Dec. 18 and was continued to Tuesday's meeting to give selectmen time to confirm zoning regulations.
Mark Lanza, special counsel to the board, reported that the license would be allowed without Zoning Board of Appeals approval under town policy.
Under the approved license, the store will be able to sell beer and wine between 10 a.m. and 9 p.m., when the store closes.
Selectmen made their decision after hearing comments from residents both in support and opposition of the store's application, according to an online video streaming of the meeting.
"I think this will enhance his business and would enhance the community," said Virginia Place resident Dave St. Laurent.
Maple Street resident Lou Terranova spoke against the proposal, saying one of the reasons his family moved to Wenham was because there were no stores to buy alcohol.
"I think it will change the character of the neighborhood," he said. "If the consent of the board is that they want to change the character of the neighborhood and take a fairly pristine area and add some risk to it, then it's on you. But my recommendation would be to evaluate this proposal and consider what it does to the neighborhood ... and the opinions of the people who live in the area."
Albert Abdelmalak has owned the store at the intersection of Route 97 and Cherry and Maple streets since October 2011.
Abdelmalak's attorney, Thomas Truax, said his client is deserving of the license. There will only be one sign in the front of the store letting customers know that it sells beer and wine, he noted.
"This is going to be the same nice store that it is now. There is just going to be a small beer and wine section in the back," Truax said. "You are not going to be seeing any neon signs or anything pronouncing beer and wine. I just don't see how it is going to be anything negative for the neighborhood."
The license previously belonged to the Wenham Tea House before it lapsed when the restaurant's tenant decided not to renew the lease. At a Special Town Meeting in February, residents supported the creation of a home rule petition to seek an all-alcohol pouring license for the Wenham Tea House, which freed up the town's only package store license.
Three businesses had expressed interest in the town's single retail license for the sale of beer and wine — Grassy Roots, Nazir's Fine Jewelry and Gifts, and Richdale.
Richdale ended up being the only business to apply for it.
Selectman Patrick Wilson said during the hearing that while he is sensitive to the opinions of the neighbors, the board must focus on the need for such a license, zoning and public safety concerns in making a decision.
"To my mind, I think the only responsible decision we can come to is to grant this license," he said.
Selectmen Chairwoman Molly Martins thanked all the residents who gave feedback during the public hearing.
"I would hope and I do not expect any of the negative concerns will come to fruition," she said.

The late Lou Reed was honored with a last-minute memorial in Harlem at the legendary Apollo Theatre last night (12/17), which was organized by his wife Laurie Anderson. The memorial saw some of Lou's notable friends/collaborators singing the songs of the Velvet Underground and his solo career plus reading or performing tributes to him, including Patti Smith and her bandmate Lenny Kaye, Antony Hegarty, Debbie Harry (of Blondie), Paul Simon, John Zorn, Philip Glass, former VU bandmate Moe Tucker, and others. An excerpt from the NY Times review of the show reads:
Ms. Anderson said that Mr. Reed wrote songs in single bursts. "He would wake up in the middle of the night and just write the song down and it was complete," she said. "He never changed a word. He thought, 'First thought, best thought.' "That review also points out that Laurie Anderson said Lou's last words were "Take me out into the light!"Mr. Simon sang the Velvets' "Pale Blue Eyes," marveling at its beauty and admitting there were lines he never understood. Emily Haines, from the Canadian band Metric, sang "All Tomorrow's Parties," and Jenni Muldaur sang the pensive "Jesus." Deborah Harry rocked through "White Light/White Heat."
Ms. Smith chose "Perfect Day" for what she called "Lou's most poignant lyric": "You made me forget myself/I thought I was someone else, someone good." The a cappella doo-wop group the Persuasions reworked Mr. Reed's "Turning Time Around." Antony Hegarty, who appeared in the stage production of Mr. Reed's album "Berlin," performed a slow, poignant, tremulous "Candy Says." Julian Schnabel, who filmed "Berlin," calmly recited the patricidal, carnage-filled "Rock Minuet."
The saxophonist John Zorn represented Mr. Reed's improvisational side with a squealing, scurrying, exultantly perpetual-motion yawp of a solo. And Philip Glass, on piano, accompanied a recitation of the Kaddish prayer.
Pictures of the memorial are in this post. They continue below...
As David Byrne pointed out, Lou Reed never lost his drive to search out and experience new music. Lou discovered the relatively unknown Antony Hegarty via producer Hal Wilner in 2002 while Hal and Lou were working on Lou's 19th solo album, The Raven, for which Antony ended up contributing vocals along with names like David Bowie, Laurie Anderson and Lou himself.
Through the years Lou and Antony continued to collaborate, on stage and on record. Lou performed on a track on the Antony & the Johnson EP The Lake, and often joined Antony on stage as Antony rose to fame. Antony often returned the favor.
One of those special moments came in 2005 when Lou joined Antony for a rendition of "Candy Says" on stage at Antony's Carnegie Hall show that year, a show that Jimmy Scott was also a guest at. The above picture, which we last posted in 2005 was taken backstage at the show as four of The Raven's vocalists reunited and posed alongside Bette Midler and Jimmy.
Antony just posted the same photo along with along with this statement to his Facebook:
Lou was like a father to me. I have never felt so perceived and loved for who I actually am by a man than by Lou Reed. He fought tirelessly for me to have a place in the daylight culture. My career would never have taken off without Lou's tremendous influence. Those close to Lou knew him as a lion-hearted and intensely caring friend. When discussing death a couple of weeks ago, he told me that I was focussed on the wrong thing. His goal especially recently has been to exercise his mental discipline to stay in the present and not be held hostage by fear of an illusory future. He faced death with dignity and courage, and even then remained a teacher and mentor to me. i miss him with all my heart. It is hard for me to reconcile that such a giant could really be gone. Antony October 28th 2013Rest in Peace Lou.
Other artists who have also written tributes to Lou include David Bowie, Iggy Pop, David Byrne, John Cale, Patti Smith, and more.
Watch some videos of Lou and Antony performing together below...
Marina Abramović has earned international renown and acclaim for the boldness and startling originality of her work. But when the self-proclaimed "grandmother of performance art" decided to put her life story on stage, Abramović opted to hand the reigns to another visionary avant-gardist, director Robert Wilson. The remarkable result, The Life and Death of Marina Abramović, features Abramović in dual roles--as herself and her mother--and Willem Dafoe as the narrator, with original music composed and performed by Antony Hegarty of Antony and the Johnsons. [Luminato]The Life and Death of Marina Abramović, Robert Wilson's new quasi-opera, which he "conceived and directed," and which stars Marina herself, along with major actor Willem Dafoe and Antony and the Johnsons brainparent Antony Hegarty (who has performed with Marina), will make its North American premiere in Toronto this June, and then makes its US premiere in NYC at the Park Avenue Armory from December 12 to 21. Single tickets go on sale to the general public on June 17, and will be available on June 10 for members of the Park Avenue Armory, and June 13 for season ticket holders.

See IFC's site for more info, and head below for a clip and the trailer of the movie, and a list of upcmoming European screenings...The film, a collaboration with Charles Atlas (The Legend of Leigh Bowery), documents the pair's 2006 European "Turning" tour, which featured Antony performing alongside large-scale projections of 13 models, who individually took the stage and slowly turned on circular platforms. It includes backstage clips and interviews with each of the models, many of whom are transgendered or grappling with issues of gender and sexuality. At the premiere, Antony said he hoped Turning would unveil the essence of its subjects' humanity. [Pitchfork]

The record, finished by Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti, is being billed as TG's "nascent, and final, studio album," will come out on November 26, two years after Christopherson's death. It's set to include guest vocals by Antony Hegarty, Cosey Fanni Tutti, Blixa Bargeld, Marc Almond (who was a member of Soft Cell and also collaborated with Christopherson's other band Coil), and Sasha Grey. The band have two teaser videos for the album, which you can watch below.
Speaking of tributes to albums that Nico took part in, there's a Velvet Underground & Nico tribute on the way which features Ty Segall and Thee Oh Sees (who both just played The Well and will play Death by Audio tonight [9/24]), plus The Fresh & Onlys, White Fence, Kelley Stoltz and others. The album will gradually surface digitally across various websites from October 15 to 29 and will be out on vinyl on November 6 via John Dwyer's Castle Face label. The tracklist is below.
Antony and the Johnsons - 'Cut The World'
Speaking of Antony Hegarty, he released his new album, Cut The World, last month via Secretly Canadian. The album features "live symphonic performances" of songs from his first four albums which were recorded on September 2 and 3, 2011 at the DK Concert Hall in Copenhagen. The title track for the album is a new one, however, and it will be featured in The Life and Death of Marina Abramovi, directed by Robert Wilson and staring Antony, Marina Abramovi and Willem Dafoe. He also just made a video for that song, directed by Nabil (Frank Ocean, Bon Iver, Kanye West). Watch that video below. You can read an interview with Antony and Nabil about the video at Pitchfork.
All videos are below.

Stevie Nicks came to "CBS This Morning" yesterday (7/11) for an on-air interview, during which she revealed that Fleetwood Mac plan to reunite "next year, so far." "It's the plan. Because that's what we do. I do my thing. And Lindsey (Buckingham is) out doing his thing now." During that interview, Stevie also spoke about the recent suicide of Fleetwood Mac member Bob Welch, saying "I can't even tell you what in the world would have pushed him to do something that crazy."
Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham are both currently on their own solo tours. Stevie hit the NYC area a few times in the past month, including Beacon Theater and she plays tonight (7/12) at Mohegan Sun in CT. Lindsey's tour is ongoing as well, and it hit NYC back in June for a show at BB King's.
As mentioned, there's also a Fleetwood Mac tribute in the works which comes on August 14 and features covers by mostly indie rock artists. Since we last wrote, many of those covers have surfaced on the internet. 10 of the 17 total covers are streaming below, including Lee Ranaldo Band and J Mascis' "Albatross," Antony's "Landslide," Billy Gibbons & Co.'s "Oh Well," Best Coast's "Rhiannon," The New Pornographers' "Think About Me," Lykke Li's "Silver Springs," Karen Elson (produced by Beck)'s "Gold Dust Woman," Matt Sweeney and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy's "Storms," MGMT's "Future Games," and The Kills' "Dreams."

"Not even kidding. lou reed watched @dasracist perform tonight & flipped the fuck out. at carnegie hall. how was your night?" - El-P
"The night wrapped up with Lenny Kaye leading the Patti Smith band through a brief tribute to the garage-rock compilation Nuggets, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, and Lou Reed, who performed three songs. Reed conducted the string quartet and the drummer to improvise with him at moments, which felt awkward in the beginning; the ending, however--as the string quartet jammed in tandem with Smith's guitarists and Reed himself--was pretty impressive. At the very end Laurie Anderson and the whole evening's cast returned to the stage for a curtain call, during which the room sang "Happy Birthday" to Philip Glass."

A thick cloak of darkness draped the stage of Radio City when Antony Hegarty began to sing. My eyes trained on his white floor-length robe, the only thing that shone through the fog and shadows.
With its piano melodies and strings arrangements, the Antony and the Johnsons discography is far from sonically lacking. But after hearing the opening measures of "Rapture," the aptly named first song of the evening, it quickly became clear that Hegarty's music was destined to be bigger. And tonight it got that chance, thanks to the addition of a talented sixty-member orchestra. Under the guidance of conductor Rob Moose, Hegarty's music unfurled and exploded into a host of symphonic crescendos. And soon, the darkness on stage subsided as one-by-one, the screens that blanketed the stage began to lift to reveal a dream-like installation of hanging 3D geometric shapes. A restrained laser show only added to the mystique, at times blanketing Antony in a twinkling world of colorful light.
It was that rare kind of performance that breaks your heart only to have the pieces lovingly reassembled, down to the tiniest, most tender bloody shard. Hegarty's lyrics may reveal inner turmoil, but filtered through his sprawling multi-octave voice and unflinching poise, the painful material becomes mesmerizing, life-affirming, and wildly triumphant.
Combining songs from all four Antony and the Johnsons albums and at least one EP, the set revealed the evolution of the band's music, as well as Heggarty's emotions. He even threw in a surprisingly moving rendition of Beyonce's "Crazy in Love" (slowed down and fleshed out to make it nearly unrecognizable). Hegarty powered through the majority of the set, playing some fourteen songs without speaking. But following the dramatic unveiling of the orchestra during "Her Eyes Are Underneath the Ground," Hegarty broke his spell of silence to introduce and sincerely thank everyone who helped make the MoMA-commissioned one-night event possible, including Thomas Bartlett (aka Doveman) on piano and Nico Muhly who - along with Maxim Moston and Rob Moose- arranged much of the music. "Well that's quite the bulk of the show," said Hegarty. "I'm so fucking glad. It was so ambitious, this production! It was really insane."
After the applause and laughter died down, Hegarty and his 60+ band mates signed off with two additional songs before the golden velvet curtain slowly made its descent, prompting the audience to collectively exhale before erupting into an elated standing ovation that resonated beautifully throughout the cavernous hall.
More pictures and the setlist from the 1/26 show, below...
As previously discussed, Antony & the Johnsons (and 60-piece orchestra) will play a rare and special show at Radio City Music Hall in NYC on January 26th. Tickets to the MoMA-commissioned event are still on sale and we're giving a pair away. Details below...

Musician and visual artist Antony will exhibit over 60 of his works of art at the Hammer Museum opening January 22 and running through May 13 in Los Angeles. This exhibition will be part of the Hammer Projects series and held in the museum's Vault Gallery.Tickets for Antony's Radio City Music Hall show in NYC are on sale now.
Over the past twenty years, Antony has developed an esoteric and diverse body of work that includes not only his critically-acclaimed music and elaborate performances but also his lesser-known work in collage, drawing, and sculpture. Antony's work emerges from a set of rituals such as washing and burning paper or engaging in repetitive mark-making as well as cutting, tearing and sewing found images. Hammer Projects: Antony is his first one-person museum exhibition in the US and will feature collages and drawings made between 2004 to 2011, some of which were recently published in Swanlights, a book accompanying the 2010 Antony and the Johnsons album. The exhibit is organized by guest curator James Elaine.
Antony's visual art has also been shown at Palais Des Beaux Arts in Belgium, Isis Gallery in London, Accademia Albertina in Turin and the Triennale in Milan. In 2009 he curated a group show entitled Six Eyes at Agnès B. Galerie Du Jour in Paris, which included work by Peter Hujar, Kiki Smith, and William Basinski. The New York Times has said of his work, "A case could be made that Mr. Hegarty himself is following some uncharted lines as an artist and performer..."
When William Basinski opened his nightclub Arcadia in 1992, Williamsburg had more than a decade of history as an outerborough artists' colony. Arcadia and a handful of other entities such as The Lizard's Tail, Lalalandia, Test-Site gallery, Nerve Circle Studios, Mustard and Galapagos transformed the artists' colony into a full blown urban subculture. No neighborhood in Brooklyn compares to Williamsburg for the shrillness of her declaration of artistic autonomy in the closing years of the last century. This neighborhood is the heart of the Brooklyn Renaissance. And at the heart of Williamsburg, in the pivotal years, was Arcadia. Join us on November 2nd, as we pay tribute to William Basinski and create the distinctive environment and spirited performances of Arcadia at 110 Livingston Street, our future home.Those with at least $250 to spend can relive Arcadia at 110 Livingston Street tonight (11/2). William Basinski, Marina Abramovic, and Antony are among those performing.

Antony also just anounced a much bigger show happening this January.
Antony w/ an orchestra in 2010 (more by Richard Termine)
This is awesome:
The Museum of Modern Art has commissioned artist/musician Antony to conceive, produce, and perform a large-scale concert and performance event, Swanlights, with Antony and the Johnsons, on Thursday, January 26, 2012, at 8:00 p.m. at Radio City Music Hall. Featuring a 60-piece orchestra, the performance piece is conceived as a new commission especially developed for the January 26 performance, and an evolution of the highly acclaimed The Crying Light, which was presented at the Manchester Opera House for the 2009 Manchester International Festival. Envisioned as a meditation on light, nature, and femininity, Swanlights includes songs from all four of Antony and the Johnsons' albums (self-titled, I am a Bird Now, The Crying Light, and Swanlights), set to symphonic arrangements by Nico Muhly, Rob Moose, and Maxim Moston. It is produced in collaboration with light artist Chris Levine, lighting designer Paul Normandale, and set designer Carl Robertshaw. Antony and the Johnsons: Swanlights is organized by Klaus Biesenbach, Chief Curator at Large of The Museum of Modern Art and Director of MoMA PS1, with the assistance of Eliza Ryan, Curatorial Assistant, MoMA PS1.Tickets go on sale Saturday, 11/12 at at 10am.
This month also sees a work-in-progress screening of TURNING, a film by Charles Atlas and Antony on November 11th at Copenhagen's Documentary Film Festival CPH:DOX.

Yoko Ono's Secret Piece (1953)Study the above piece of sheet music and join Yoko Ono in Central Park Tuesday morning!
throughout Central Park from 5AM - 8AM on June 21, 2011.
Celebrate the summer solstice with Yoko Ono's meditative Secret Piece, at sunrise in Central Park.We will meet at Columbus Circle starting at 5AM. Bring any musical instrument or just your voice, and we will send you to a secluded part of the park to play the note of your choice to the accompaniment of birds.
At 8AM we will all return to Columbus Circle for hot green tea.
UPDATE: Apparently Yoko didn't even go to her own event. ZINGARA says "I woke up really early this morning thinking that different musicians where going to get together and play a Yoko Ono tone. instead i got there and everybody was on their own wandering around the park like a homeless person. There was someone there but as soon you sign your name they send you away." Lori Zimmer adds, "woke @ 330 to go to central pk... was handed a map with little explanation. very disappointed, not much explanation, no yoko, green tea from starbucks out of styrofoam cups after 3 hours...."
The other pictures in this post are from that Japan benefit that Yoko Ono threw at Le Poisson Rouge in March. You already saw the Cibo Matto pics from the same event. Here are the rest with Yoko, Sean Lennon, Patti Smith, Lenny Kaye, Antony, Lou Reed and more included. They continue below...
Rufus Wainwright @ Prospect Park (more by David Andrako)
Despite the addition of Rufus Wainwright to the bill, and stellar past shows, tickets are amazingly still on sale for Doveman's show at LPR tonight (5/26). The Goastt, aka Sean Lennon and Charlotte Kemp Muhl, were recently added to the show too. There's always surprise guests (like Justin Bond) and an all-star backing band too.
Rufus was also just added to another show too, one that also still has tickets on sale, and one that now boasts an extremely impressive lineup of gay icons. Rufus Wainwright, Justin Bond AND Liza Minelli (!) were all added as special guests to the Sandra Bernhard show happening June 8 at Town Hall. The date will be the world premiere of Sandra's new show "I LOVE BEING ME, DON'T YOU?" The poster confirming this info is below.
Speaking of Rufus (and Justin) at Town Hall, he and Martha just played the venue two nights in a row in honor of their mother with Justin Bond, Norah Jones, Antony Hegarty, Emmylou Harris, Teddy Thompson, Jimmy Fallon, and others. Rolling Stone was there the first night:
Although the three-hour concert was billed as "A Celebration of Kate McGarrigle," the prevailing mood was naturally somber. McGarrigle wrote and sang heartrendingly personal songs throughout most of her life; hearing them now that she's gone was emotional, to say the least. Performers and audience members alike could be seen tearing up during highlights like "I Eat Dinner (When The Hunger's Gone)" (a sweet duet between Harris and Thompson), "Go Leave" (a deeply felt rendition by Hegarty), "(Talk to Me Of) Mendocino" (sung by both Wainwright siblings with Jones), "Tell My Sister" (a wonderfully torchy performance by Martha Wainwright) and most of all "Proserpina" - the last song Kate McGarrigle wrote before her death, a sad, lovely, honest tune that brought nearly everyone back on stage to close the night's first set.Rufus has his own show coming up, a free one where he'll be performing excerpts of his opera, in NYC in June. All tour dates below...

DOWNLOAD: Antony - Thank You For Your Love (MP3)
"This is how it must feel to be an ovum," the singer Antony Hegarty said with a tone of gentle amusement as latecomers flooded down the aisles of Alice Tully Hall during the concert he presented there on Saturday night. It was the second time this singer, who goes by his first name, stopped to let stragglers find their seats. Earlier he had abruptly cut off a song just started -- "Ghost," from his rapturously lovely new album, "Swanlights" -- then tried to smooth over an awkward silence by whistling Satie's "Gymnopédie" No. 1...Reading that first paragraph of the Times review makes me feel a little better, since I was also late to the show, but I was so late I actually missed all of that starting and stopping happening....Here, performing as part of Lincoln Center's White Light Festival, Antony stood shrouded in shadow and sheathed in a flowing black gown. In place of his Johnsons, the Orchestra of St. Luke's accompanied him in songs largely drawn from "Swanlights" and its predecessor, "The Crying Light." Rob Moose, elsewhere a musically polyamorous violinist, conducted; at the piano was Thomas Bartlett, a sensitive chamber-pop singer otherwise known as Doveman. [NY Times]
I think there were at least two big issues that caused people to be late. One of them was the show's kind-of-unfortunate 7:30pm start time (7:30 sharp on a Saturday night with no opener). The other was that the 1/2/3 trains were all screwed up, and I personally spent the first 30 minutes of the show sitting underground in a train that wasn't going anywhere. At least there were people dressed up for Halloween adorning all the stations and cars. That made the situation feel slightly less tense. That said, by the time I got there, every seat in the house was full, so late or not, everyone eventually got there, and what I saw was unsuprisingly beautiful and worth finally making it there for.
Nico Muhly was responsible for many of the arrangements of the night, and behind Antony and the orchestra was the film "Mr. O's Book of the Dead", a 1973 film by Chiaki Nagano featuring the Butoh master Kazuo Ohno and his troupe. Kazuo is the one on the cover of Antony and the Johnsons' 2009 CD The Crying Light. And as the NY Times sums up nicely, it was "Projected overhead throughout the performance -- even during the awkward breaks -- it was both a potent visualization of gender ambiguity, vulnerability and pain, and a garish distraction from music's transfixing intensity and beauty."
It was Antony's only North American show this year. Hopefully he'll tour some more in support of his new album "Swanlights" which was released on October 12th via Secretly Canadian. Download "Thank You For Your Love" from that LP above, and watch Antony's performance of the same song from the October 8th episode of Letterman in the video, under the rest of the pictures from Lincoln Center, below...

Antony and the Johnsons will play their only North American live show of 2010 at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall on Saturday, October 30. They will be performing with the Orchestra of St. Luke's, which will be conducted by Rob Moose. Chiaki Nagano's film "Mr. O's Book of the Dead" starring Kazuo Ohno will be featured during the performance. The performance kicks off Lincoln Center's White Light Fest. Tickets can be purchased here.Antony and the Johnsons' new album, "Swanlights" will be out on October 12th (in the US) via Secretly Canadian. And a book:
Abrams Image will simultaneously release a special edition of "Swanlights" which will include the CD inside a 144-page hard cover book containing Antony's paintings, collages, photography and writing. The album only version of "Swanlights" on Secretly Canadian will also include the song "Flétta", a duet with Björk. The album and book are a continuation of Antony's work exploring his connection to the natural world.That's at least two new albums that Bjork appears on this year. She is on Olof Arnalds' new album too.
The Antony show at Lincoln Center "is part of the Great Performers Chamber Orchestra series"
