The Coathangers: 143 (Dan Deacon Remix)

This summer, the label will kick off another singles series, releasing limited edition discs from Iron & Wine, Memoryhouse, the Coathangers, and JEFF the Brotherhood. Each single is limited to 500 black vinyl 7"s and 250 colored ones.
The Coathangers and JEFF the Brotherhood will release the first entries in the series on July 20. The Coathangers' single features remixes from Dan Deacon and Judi Chicago. And up above, you can stream Deacon's utter dismantling of the Atlanta garage-punks' "143".

Video Premiere: Dan Deacon: "Woof Woof"
By Ryan Dombal on January 14, 2010 at 1:40 p.m. EST
Created by the warped people (and puppets) over at Baltimore creative collective Showbeast, this short film for Dan Deacon's Bromst track "Woof Woof" is like the kid-TV parody "Wonder Showzen" except even more fucked up. It stars a guy in a zebra costume, a "Sesame Street"-style felt girl with allergies, and Dan Deacon as a mutant tiger from hell. It's 11 minutes long. Make sure to put on the LSD goggles for this one.

The National and Dan Deacon Do Google Advertisements
By Amy Phillips on December 11, 2009 at 11:30 a.m. EST
Advertisements featuring music by our favorite bands is nothing out of the ordinary these days. But an ad that's completely centered around the National? That's certainly uncommon.
Google's "Search Stories" series of commercials highlights all of the services that Google offers. The spot titled "Out of Office" shows how you can easily go from searching for the lyrics to a song ("stay inside our rosy minded fuzz") to watching that song's video ("Apartment Story") to buying tickets to that band's concert to traveling to said concert to uploading a YouTube video of yourself hoarsely singing along to the song at the show. Thanks, Google!
In related news, another Google ad, this one for the Google Chrome browser, features Dan Deacon's "Build Voice" as its soundtrack. (Thanks to True/Slant for the heads up.)

On Friday, we reported that Baltimore ADD electro goofball Dan Deacon had been hospitalized with acute sciatica, which forced him to cancel the remaining shows on his American tour.
Later that same day, Deacon posted a note on his MySpace page explaining exactly what had happened, and it sounds pretty harrowing.

The 17-year-old charged with stabbing another student in the bathroom at Pius X waived her right to a jury trial and a speedy trial Thursday.
Sarah Piccolo is charged with assault and use of a weapon to commit a felony.
Police say Piccolo attacked 17-year-old Ellen Kopetzky with a knife and hammer in a school restroom on October 7th. Piccolo didn't say anything before, during or after the assault. Piccolo fled and was arrested the next day in Yates Center, Kansas. She allegedly told witnesses and law enforcement that she planned on hurting others before killing herself.
In May, a judge ruled Piccolo was competent to stand trial. She is expected back in court on August 11.

Plummer-Vinson syndrome (PVS) is the combination of dysphagia, angular cheilitis, atrophic glossitis, and esophageal webbing in the setting of iron deficiency anemia. Although it is relatively uncommon, this condition is important to recognize because it is a source of dysphagia and it confers an increased risk for hypopharyngeal cancer. Cases of PVS associated with gastrointestinal conditions such as celiac disease and gastric cancer have been previously reported in the literature, but as far as we know, no case of PVS associated with bariatric surgery has been previously reported. We describe the case of a 39-year-old woman who developed PVS following gastric bypass surgery, and we briefly discuss the current knowledge of this syndrome.
Few cases of pharyngeal actinomycosis have been documented in the literature. We describe the case of a 67-year-old white man who presented with symptoms of dysphagia. Laryngoscopy revealed a pedunculated mass in the left posterior pharyngeal wall; an excisional biopsy confirmed the diagnosis. Postoperatively, the patient underwent 10 weeks of intravenous penicillin therapy followed by 4 months of oral antibiotics, and his condition resolved. We discuss the diagnosis, management, and complications of this rare infection.
Endoscopic examination showed no distal stricture or cricopharyngeus muscle.
Patients with multiple symmetric lipomatosis commonly also suffer from various neuropathies, especially paresthesias and autonomic neuropathy.
Lung herniation is a rare condition that can be classified on the basis of location and etiology. We report an unusual case of right apical lung herniation presenting with dysphagia. Computed tomography of the neck demonstrated an air-containing structure in the root of the right side of the neck, related to but separate from the anteromedial aspect of the right lung apex. The diagnosis of an apical lung hernia was confirmed using high-resolution CT reconstructions. This case highlights that, although uncommon, apical lung hernias should always be considered when investigating abnormalities of swallowing. Identification of an apical lung hernia on plain chest radiographs avoids further unnecessary investigations and surgical intervention. Knowledge of their presentation may avoid complications that could arise from neck interventions such as subclavian central catheter insertion.
Most perforations are thought to result from esophageal retraction, direct injury during manipulation, hardware failure, or movement of cervical vertebral bodies during hyperextension.
Acute complications from chemoradiation for head and neck cancers are relatively common. These can be minor or severe and can have a significant impact on the patient's quality of life. The incidence of late-onset (>5 years after cancer cure) complications is unknown, but the effect on quality of life is just as severe as with acute problems. What makes matters worse is that many of these patients lived years without dysphagia or other issues and were able to resume a normal lifestyle before developing complications. We present 4 cases involving patients with late-onset complications and discuss the need to remain vigilant in follow-up and caring for patients with head and neck cancer.
MII-pH testing with impedance-based symptom association may improve diagnostic accuracy in patients with systemic sclerosis and reflux.
Graft-versus-host disease occurs after allogeneic hematopoietic-cell transplantation, with the chronic form usually occurring within the first 3 years.
Due to the development of Hib vaccines, the epidemiology of epiglottitis has shifted dramatically back toward adult presentations, with a marked decline in the incidence among children.
We report a case of primary extracranial meningioma arising from the hypoglossal nerve in a 54-year-old man who presented with a 9-month history of hoarseness and progressive dysphagia. He had also noticed that his tongue was deviated to the left and, as a result, he was having difficulty pronouncing words. Examination revealed fasciculation and muscle wasting on the left side of the tongue. Other cranial nerve functions were normal. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography detected a heterogeneous mass that had arisen above the bifurcation of the left common carotid artery and had extended to near the skull base. Transcervical excision of the tumor was performed, and histopathology identified it as a meningioma of the hypoglossal nerve. The patient recovered uneventfully, and he was without recurrence at more than 2 years of follow-up. A primary extracranial meningioma is extremely rare, and its presentation may be subtle. A thorough investigation is necessary to avoid fatal compressive symptoms.

A Gilbert panel is asking the town to join other East Valley communities in endorsing Mexican ID cards, even though holders wouldn't have additional access to town services.
The Gilbert Human Relations Commission voted unanimously Wednesday to formally recommend acceptance of Matricula Consular cards, which are issued by the Mexican Consul to Mexican citizens living abroad. The move was met with a chilly reception by the mayor and some council members, who may be faced with a vote on the issue.
Commission chairwoman Tami Smull said the panel will address the council in January.
East Valley Interfaith, a community organization of immigrant advocates, faith groups and unions, first asked the Gilbert commission in July to support the cards.
"It may not be practical but it's symbolically important," commissioner Dan Fellner said. "It's the kind of message I would like this commission to send."
Saul Solis of East Valley Interfaith, who attended the meeting, said, "This is about the self-respect and dignity of people."
East Valley Interfaith, which is part of the Arizona Interfaith Network, helped stop state legislation earlier this year that would have banned municipalities from recognizing the cards, while successfully lobbying Mesa, Chandler, Tempe and Scottsdale to support them.
Prospective cardholders must provide a birth certificate, current proof of residency and a photo identification from Mexico. A person's immigration status is not checked, leading critics to argue that the cards encourage illegal immigration and make it easier for them to receive government services in the United States.
A majority of council members said Thursday they were not eager to address the issue.
"The real issue is do we want to create a crisis where none exists," Councilman Steve Urie said. "If (East Valley Interfaith is) trying to drive a state policy, they should contact their state legislators."
"There's no action for us to take as far as I can tell," Councilman Don Skousen said.
Gilbert Mayor Steve Berman does not expect to see widespread council support and said he does not feel pressure to endorse the cards, despite other East Valley municipalities as well as Phoenix, Tucson and Flagstaff accepting them.
"It will be a career-buster for somebody," Berman said of anyone who votes for the card. "I guarantee people in Gilbert are not big on that stuff."
Town Manager George Pettit said the town does not require photo identification for any service, while the Gilbert Police Department already accepts the card. The Southeast Regional Library in Gilbert is run by Maricopa County and accepts the card.
Smull met with East Valley Interfaith last month and identified several reasons to support the card in a report to the commission: The sense of security a cardholder would have, possible access to services provided by private businesses and a sense of dignity.

Special Occasion Asian Fusion
I'm having a reception for about 20 adults and 4 kids and want to go someplace where food is great with a great atmosphere. I'm looking anywhere from Santa Monica to Pasadena for location. And my budget is about $100/pp. I was recommended Kumo, which looks great and food is supposed to be good too. But people have complained about small portions. There are some BIG eaters in my family, and I don't want them to feel like they didn't get enough. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Chinois on Main in Santa Monica is the original Wolfgang Puck asian-fusion restaurant, and still perhaps the best. Might be difficult to accommodate a group that large, but you could have a banquet at that price point. Everything is served to share, they have a wide selection of small plates, and among the large plates definitely order the whole fried catfish with ponzu and the sliced beef filet with szechwan sauce. Flavors are bold, service is excellent, and I'm sure they could set up something fantastic with enough lead time.
Haven't been there in a few years (lived in San Gabriel Valley 10 years ago), but a possibility for special occasion Asian in Pasadena woudl be Yujean Kangs.
Daisy Mint does Asian fusion in Pasadena well. You'd probably spend about $20/person. It's a cute and intimate dining room and there is no corkage fee.
How about Crustacean in Beverly Hills? The kids would appreciate the subterranean aquarium. Dinner will run you about $80-100 per person + wine. I also love Shiro in South Pasadena, though it's better suited for adult diners.
re: Waverly SGV
Dining at Crustacean might be the epitome of "throwing good money after terrible food".
There;'s Typhoon in the Santa Monica airport which has a very eclectic Asian and Asian/fusion menu. I always liked their whole fish in black bean sauce. Plus the small airport location makes it entertaining for the kids.
On the westside your best bets might be Chinois or Beacon for something a little less pricey. On the east side, Shiro is a good choice.
Celadon would probably fit your bill. The food has always been good to excellent. The atmoosphere is fun and hip. My only hesitation is with the kids, but I would have that hesitation with just about every place mentioned already. If the kids are okay at nice restaurants, you should be fine. Portions at Celadon are small in the sense that the food is served tapas style. But you can just order multiple portions. For $100 per person, nobody will go hungry.
I believe they have a separate room that would work for a group your size.
re: Jwsel
There is a new Asian-Fusion restaurant in Beverly Hills called Mamash. It's a Kosher restaurant but you would never think it from the flavor of the dishes. I went there last week and was really impressed by the food, the reasonable prices and the portions. It's elegant but not over done and is a good place for a big group, including children. I understand they also have a private dining space for parties. You may want to look into that.
Ditto on the Mako rec. But be forewarned that it's small plates...tell your group that the portions are supposed to be small! Get multiples of each plate and share everything. Agree that the food at Crustacean is awful.

I am halfway through this video and cannot speak highly enough of it. Kate Richbourg is delightful and she demonstrates basic jewelry techniques in a way that makes them very understandable. Even though I have been to classes, this is a nice systematic way of showing you what you need to know. I would not hesitate to recommend it for all beginners. The best $9.95 that I have spent in a long while.

I was totally freaked out about trying to learn soldering until I watched this video. Kate Richbourg is a great (and funny) instructor who makes a somewhat scary skill seem totally attainable. She is one of the Beaducation instructors, all of whom are top notch. So glad I bought this!

Brief Bio sketch:
Dr. Ming-Hsiang (Ming) Tsou is a Professor in the Department of Geography, San Diego State University (SDSU), the Director of the Center for Human Dynamics in the Mobile Age (HDMA). He received a B.S. (1991) from National Taiwan University, an M.A. (1996) from the State University of New York at Buffalo, and a Ph.D. (2001) from the University of Colorado at Boulder, all in Geography. His research interests are in Human Dynamics, Social Media, Big Data, Visualization, Internet mapping, Web GIS, Mobile GIS, Cartography, and K-12 GIS education. He is co-author of Internet GIS, published in 2003 by Wiley and served on the editorial boards of the Annals of GIS (2008-), Cartography and GIScience (2013-) and the Professional Geographers (2011-). Tsou was the Chair of the Cartographic Specialty Group (2007-2008), the Chair of Cyberinfrastructure Specialty Group (2012-2013) in the Association of American Geographers (AAG), and the co-chair of the NASA Earth Science Enterprise Data System Working Group (ESEDWG) Standard Process Group (SPG) from 2004 to 2007. He has been served on two U.S. National Academy of Science Committees: "Research Priorities for the USGS Center of Excellence for Geospatial Information Science" (2006-2007) and "Geotargeted Alerts and Warnings: A Workshop on Current Knowledge and Research Gaps" (2012- 2013).

Numerous e-mails are flooding in to thank SDSU for creating the site. Among them:
"I have been keeping track of the fires. My
daughter is a sophomore and living in
–a very worried parent
"Thanks for the map. It is very helpful in
understanding what went on in San Diego."
-Anonymous, Long Island,
"I want to congratulate you and your
colleagues on the magnificent Web site you created for the recent fires."
-Economics professor at UCSD
More information about this Web site can be found at the November 17 issue of SDSUniverse (http://www.sdsuniverse.info/story.asp?id=11596) and the 360 Magazine (Spring 2004) page 8.
On October 21, 2007. This website was activated again. Tsou was leading the San Diego GIS force group, a volunteer group of SDSU faculty and students to established interactive Web-based mapping services for the new San Diego Wildfire 2007 for helping local San Diego community. Based on the Web server transaction logs, 236,693 unique visitors visited the Web site during the first week of wildfires in 2007. The City of San Diego, the Southern California Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) team, and the County's emergency fire information center created Web links from their wildfire pages to the website.

2012, November 15, KPBS, 'Using Twitter To Predict Elections—Or The Flu'. Tsou and Dipak Gupta, both San Diego State University professors, are part of a project called Mapping Ideas. The idea is to track and analyze publicly-accessible websites, as well as social media like Twitter and Facebook, for key words and phrases and then track their spread.
