Passion Pit at Governors Ball in June (more by Amanda Hatfield)
Some good news and some bad news. The bad first: Passion Pit recently expanded their tour to include a NYC show scheduled to happen on July 23 at Apollo Theater (which sold out immediately) three days after they were scheduled to play Firefly Music Fest in Delaware. Unfortunately, both of those dates, and many others have been cancelled. Frontman Michael Angelakos posted this message to the band's website:
Hello all,Everything in July is affected, but the August and September dates, which include Lollapalooza, Osheaga, and Made in America in Philly, are still on. No word yet on ticket refunds for the Apollo show but check ticketmaster for updates. Bummer, but feel better soon Michael.On behalf of the band and myself, I would like to greatly apologize for the show cancelations. In order for me to ensure that there will be no further disruptions, I am going to take the time to work on improving my mental health. For now, I'd like to thank all of our fans for their understanding. I hope to see all of you very soon in a much different light.
The tour page on our website currently reflects all upcoming tour dates.
With love,
On the bright side, the band are streaming their sophomore LP, Gossamer, on NPR. If you've had any doubts about this album, whether it be a distaste for their mainstream attention (and thus, tween fanbase) a feeling of "people still listen to Passion Pit?" or "who cares? Passion Pit sucks! (but I secretly have 50+ plays for Manners on my iTunes)," then let it be known that Passion Pit have more than succeeded in following up their debut and Gossamer is definitely worth a listen. Check it out for yourself.
Updated dates are listed below...

Passion Pit at Governors Ball in June (more by Amanda Hatfield)
Modest Mouse aren't the only band who recently played Governors Ball, will play Firefly Music Fest in Delaware, and just announced a NYC area gig around that fest. Passion Pit have followed suit, and will play Apollo Theater on July 23, after Firefly Fest wraps up. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (7/13) at noon with an AmEx presale starting Wednesday (7/11) at noon.
Passion Pit's sophomore LP, Gossamer, is due out on July 24 via Columbia. They've already revealed two great and very different tracks from the album -- "Take a Walk" and "I'll Be Alright" -- and now they've got a third cut out, "Constant Conversations," which as just as solid and just as different. In case you haven't been keeping up, "Take a Walk" has got big vocals and Beach Boys-y drums, "I'll Be Alright" is a spastic, glitchy pop song with pitch-shifted vocal clips that aren't too different from Purity Ring (whose new album comes out the same day as Passion Pit's), and now on "Constant Conversations," the band are crossing into chilled out R&B territory with clap snares and a toned down, smooth vocal delivery from Michael Angelakos. In an interview with Pitchfork, Michael himself compared the song to James Blake, saying, "he does this really soft, serious stuff; I make a mockery out of it, because I make a mockery out of myself."
Stream that song below, along with a list of updated dates.

Passion Pit / Kud Cudi at Governors Ball - 6/23/12
Governors Ball went down in Randall's Island over the weekend (6/23-6/24) with 26 bands across two stages and no overlapping sets. Day 1 was "headlined" by Passion Pit (though Kid Cudi played after them) and also included Chromeo, Major Lazer, Atmosphere, Santigold, Duck Sauce (Armand Van Helden and A-Trak), James Murphy & Pat Mahoney (Special Disco Version DJ set), and more. Probably the most anticipated set of the day was Passion Pit's, who were playing their first NYC area show in about a year and a half, and first since announcing their new album and releasing two singles from it (both of which they played). NY Times didn't seem to approve much of their set though, writing:
Saturday played out as a party punctuated by angst; there were many, many calls for putting hands in the air. Party and angst mix in Passion Pit, who work in two main modes: the shimmering anthem and the pulsating dance-pop song, both with more cryptic lyrics than might be expected. Passion Pit stacked the anthems at the beginning of the set-among them a new song, "Take a Walk," about an immigrant who finds himself financially ruined-before revving up the dance tunes. But the stage didn't add much beyond subwoofers to Passion Pit's songs; Michael Angelakos's vocals, mostly falsetto, needs studio help.They wrote similar criticism of Kid Cudi, mentioning that he also needs the safety net of the studio, but were very positive about Day 1's selection of dance music, including Special Disco Version, Duck Sauce, and Major Lazer. What did you think? Or did you just go on the (much better day) Sunday?
Pictures from Sunday are on the way. More from Saturday below...
As mentioned, Governors Ball goes down in NYC this weekend on Randall's Island from June 23-24. You can check out the full schedule for both days HERE. The lineup includes a number of bands who haven't played NYC in a while, like Passion Pit, who have a new LP coming out which you've heard two songs from; Modest Mouse, who also play the Metallica-headlined Orion Music & More festival in Atlantic City this weekend, Beck, Devendra Banhart, and more.
Fiona Apple did play in NYC pretty recently, but those shows were her first in a while and were also small venues for her and sold out instantly. Fiona also just finally released her new album and it's great, which is all the more reason to catch her set this weekend. She also recently announced a ton of new dates and performed on Fallon with the Roots.
Other bands playing include Built to Spill, Explosions in the Sky, K.Flay (who also plays Glasslands on 7/13), James Muprhy & Pat Mahoney DJ Set, Cults, Phantogram, and still many more. In addition to the music, there will be some other activities like ping pong, beer pong, silent disco, lawn games (bocce ball, croquet, etc), and from looking at the weather forecast, probably the most important of them all: free water refill stations. Tickets for the festival are still available.
Shuttles to the festival from Brooklyn and Philly are sold out but regular ferry tickets ($25), and parking passes if you plan to drive are still available. If you are heading down there by car, subway, bike or foot, here are some directions from NYC, Long Island, Westchester, and Jersey. Once you've found your way there, this map should help you get around the festival grounds. Leave your nunchucks at home.
Firefly Music Festival goes down in Dover, Delaware from July 20-22 (which is only about a three hour drive from NYC). The lineup includes Jack White, The Flaming Lips, Passion Pit, The Black Keys, Polica, Cults, Death Cab for Cutie, Ra Ra Riot, The Felice Brothers, Mariachi El Bronx, Silversun Pickups, Lupe Fiasco, The Head and the Heart, Heartless Bastards, The Killers, John Legend, Bassnectar, Girl Talk, and more. Tickets for the fest are on sale now, and camping is available.
No schedule yet, but the full announced lineup is below...
The 2012 edition of MusicFestNW takes place in September 5 - 9 at 18 venues in Portland, OR and will feature performances from over 150 bands, including Passion Pit, Hot Snakes, Girl Talk, Danny Brown, Beirut Silversun Pickups, Dinosaur Jr. and Sebadoh, many more.
In addition to those previously announced artists, MFNW has just added The Hives, Flying Lotus, Wild Nothing, DIIV, Quasi, Moon Duo, My Goodness, DZ Deathrays, and Strand Of Oaks to the already impressive line-up. Wristbands, available various levels and packages, and tickets to individual shows are on sale now. Check out the complete MFNW lineup below.

Lollapalooza (more by Grant MacAllister)
Chicago Sun Times reports:
Lollapalooza has revealed its official 2012 list of performers -- a typically wide-ranging smorgasbord of genres and styles topped by nearly a dozen mainstage headliners: the Red Hot Chili Peppers, freshly reunited bands Black Sabbath and At the Drive-In, the Black Keys, Jack White, Florence + The Machine, the Shins and Passion Pit, plus spotlighted electronic music including Swedish house titan Avicii, French dance duo Justice and DJ-producer Bassnectar.Check out the full list below...The annual music festival is scheduled for Aug. 3-5 in Chicago's Grant Park.
Rumored lineups have circulated widely, as they usually do, and Lollapalooza itself stoked the speculation in recent weeks via a series of CTA and online advertisements that seemed to hint at who would be playing.
The ads featured lyrics from such acts as Sigur Ros, Santigold, Jack White, Kimbra, Twin Shadow, the Weeknd, Bloc Party and more -- all bands that wound up on the bill.

DOWNLOAD: SBTRKT - "Wildfire" (Drumma Boy remix ft. Shabazz Palaces) (MP3)
Back in June, we announced the killer initial lineup for Moogfest 2011 (October 28, 29, 30). That lineup just got even better with additions including TV on the Radio, Special Disco Version featuring James Murphy and Pat Mahoney, St. Vincent, SBTRKT, Flying Lotus, YACHT, John Maus, Araabmuzik Baths, Zomby, Active Child and more.

After waiting on very long ferry lines on Saturday (6/18), Governors Ball attendees were welcomed to Governors Island where the beginning of the day included sets by Outasight, Reptar, Passion Pit (DJ set), and Das Racist. The first of our three sets of pics from the whole day continues below...
The schedule has been revealed for the Governor's Ball Music Festival taking place at Governor's Island on June 18. The festival has artists performing on two stages (Big Apple Stage and Gotham Stage), but with no overlapping sets. The two stages means no long changeovers either though. You can run and back and forth and catch all of everyone. Das Racist have been added since the initial lineup announcement, though they go on pretty early. Tickets are still available. Check out the schedule, and a video interview with Girl Talk, below.

Suicide at ATP 2009 (more by Ryan Muir)
The initial lineup is out for this year's Moogfest, which is taking place in Asheville, NC on October 28-30.

The Flaming Lips, Crystal Castles, Little Dragon, Passion Pit, Toro y Moi, Chromeo, Austra, M83, Tim Hecker, and many others on there too. Tickets go on sale Saturday (6/4) at noon. Check out the full initial lineup and a video below.
As you know, BrooklynVegan presents a 3-band lineup consisting of BOBBY, Alex Bleeker & the Freaks, and Prussia at Knitting Factory in Brooklyn on May 5th aka Cinco de Mayo (aka tomorrow). Tickets are still on sale.
Honestly, the show just happened to fall on Cinco de Mayo, but since it did we decided to join in on the festivities by adding an open bar pre-party that is open to all 21+ BOBBY ticketholders. The concert start at 8pm, and we'll be serving free Hornitos Tequila cocktails in the Knitting Factory front bar from 6-8 to all 21+ ticketholders who show up (you can also buy a ticket when you get there) (they're only $10). Come party.
And in honor of Cinco De Mayo, our pre-party sponsor Hornitos Tequila is also hosting a Mariachi Mashup contest that will give bands a chance to win $10,000 - for full details visit the Hornitos Facebook Page, but it involves covering one of five songs, "Young Folks" by Peter Bjorn & John, "Little Secrets" by Passion Pit, and "Surrender" by Cheap Trick included. Cheap Trick also made their own mashup/cover to kick off the contest, which you can watch (short and long version), with our party flyer, below...

Surfer Blood (by Tim Griffin)
SXSW started out for us this year on two stages with fifteen bands at Emo's for a free six hour BrooklynVegan day party presented by Feed the Beat.
On the big stage Anamanaguchi kicked things off right at noon with a high energy, 8-bit pop rock set to a dedicated crowd who showed up early to catch them. Fresh off the Bruise Cruise, the garage rockin' Turbo Fruits kept the party going. By 1:30, with a buzz already kicking in thanks to the free Sailor Jerry and Sparks we were serving, a Place To Bury Strangers brought it with their intense, high volume noise, and then Darwin Deez followed, replacing armed-cross spectators with pockets of dancers and coordinated dance routines on stage. By the time Chiddy Bang (who arrived a bit late and therefore also had to play a shorter set) took the stage, the large room was filled in and people were ready to sing along to the rappers whose setup includes a mic and drumset, and backing tracks courtesy of bands like MGMT and Passion Pit (members of whom were in the audience). The Vaccines, all the way from the UK, kept the momentum going with their brit rock, though they also played a short set reportedly due to worries over the singer's voice.
By the time Mister Heavenly took the stage, you were lucky to find a place to stand, due in part to the many wanting to check out Michael Cera's bass skills. Many were also multitasking, aka watching music and eating the massive amounts of free burritos that Taco Bell delivered through the back door and were handing out all over the place. As Andrew pointed out, "Mr. Heavenly perfored an appropriately lovely set, its two frontmen trading verses in their own styles." The two frontmen are of course Nick Diamonds from Islands and Honus Honus from Man Man. The group is rounded out by Modest Mouse drummer Joe Plummer.
And finally, as Bill pointed out, Surfer Blood "gave us an enjoyable hits-packed [headlining] set from their first album." That of course was going down on the bigger outside stage while Kylesa was completely destroying on the inside stage - I actually watched more of Kylesa than Surfer Blood, but BBG can tell you more about that...
Deafheaven (by Sam Marble)
Despite traffic issues that made The Roller open the inside stage on the late side, the Austin band's bulldozing doom thunder opened the BV festivities at SXSW with a roar. The Roller is one of my favorite heavy bands in Austin, so it was great to see this powerful foursome in action on a BV stage (until I can convince 'em to come up north!).
When the Deafheaven guys arrived, their tees were a dead giveaway. Sporting merch from Hate Forest, Hellfish (records), and Slowdive, it was obvious to see the band's influences, but their live show was definitely born of hardcore. Wide-eyed cocalist George Clarke was in the audience's face, or thrashing maniacally as the band tore through tracks like "Violet" from their forthcoming Roads To Judah and "Libertine Dissolves" from their demo.
The Secret followed Deafheaven, and their blistering blast-y down-tuned hardcore reminded me of breathren Trap Them, Rotten Sound, or Converge in the live setting. Furious blackened hardcore that was technical and powerful.
KEN Mode was next, delivering the hardcore-infused noise rock jams that shine on their new LP Venerable. KEN Mode would leave shortly after their set to headline Scoot Inn as part of a Thrasher show with Dark Castle, The Body and others.
Blackened electric swamp-blues from Dax Riggs kept energy levels on high before Trash Talk brought the crowd to a circle pitting/crowd-surfing frenzy. The band was short their usual bassist though, as Spencer was in the hospital after being stabbed by some "nazi motherfuckers" at a hardcore show in their native California. Despite the replacement, Trash Talk was undeterred and as incendiary as ever.
Kylesa closed the day out with faves like set-opener "Hollow Severer", "Tired Climb", "Running Red", and "Scapegoat", before calling it a day before a sold-out crowd. Excellent set from these Savannah greats, who seem to get better (and bigger) with each show.
All in all it was an amazing first day at SXSW that continued two hours later with six more hours of bands at Swan Dive.
Thanks to Feed the Beat, Orange (who provided the thunder behind Kylesa), Line 6 (the mics), Korg (keyboard), Vox (amps), Blackstar (and amps), Sensible Portions, Honest Tea, Raw Revolution, Sailor Jerry, SPARKS, everyone at Emo's, The Syndicate, Andy, Erik, Katie, Zach, Nevonah, The Roller, Anamanaguchi & Surfer Blood for being so amenable, as well as all of the bands for being incredible! Mostly, we'd like to thank anyone/everyone who made it out on a Wednesday afternoon... your support is appreciated.
Lots more pictures and videos from the whole day, below...

Dec 23rd 2011 9:54AM was an all stealther guild back in vanilla WoW. This was back when WSG was the only battleground.

Feb 12th 2011 12:33PM Half breeds shouldn't exist for the same reason why you don't see monkey-tiger hybrids. The biochemistry, DNA, and so forth just aren't compatible. So that's why you don't see half-breeds.
And don't get me started with all those characters who claim having some orc, dragon, whatever blood in them. Since they're not first generation half breeds, that means one of their parents (or ancestors) would have been a half breed, which means that ancestor was/is fertile. By definition, that would mean those the two different species (orc + elf, or troll + draenei) would be the -same- species. (Species produce fertile offspring.)

First of all, Happy New Year, guys. Let me promise you I won't be spending 2013 talking about the bully site because frankly, it's dull, repetitive and just not clever.
However, I do need to note that when you ignore a legal notice to remove copyrighted material four times, and lie to your webhost about it, not only is the webhost legally obliged to boot your lying arse from their hosting, but they will do it with a great deal of glee. (If you noticed the site was up and down like a pair of whore's drawers over the Xmas period, this is why. Not for any other reason, whatever nonsense Douthit is claiming.)
So Madame du Twat's little grudgewank project is no longer on GoDaddy. She's scuttled off to a new host based in Utah. Because of course, STGRB has nothing to do with Melissa Douthit (Utah), and Douthit's utter lack of connection would be why she's blocked critics of STGRB from viewing her personal blog. Nothing to do with the site at all.
Yeah, right.
However, Madame du Twat should note clauses 10.03-10.05 of her new host's terms of service, as well as the entirety of section 11. If she intends to try the same shenanigans she pulled with her last host (lying about her intention to remove my copyrighted material, trying to block my IP address, password protecting the post with the offending material etc) she will find her new host will be obliged by law to take her site off their servers. Again. And since she will be officially labelled a repeat offender, she may find hosting services increasingly difficult to obtain.
I have no intention, as I said, of spending this or future years exposing Douthit or her idiot acolytes' nonsense. No one takes them seriously except other fools, and if there's anyone left in the western world with an interest in the subject who doesn't know who's running the site, then I'd be amazed. Du Twat can link and mock and being a lying cunt about me all she wants. Obviously it's her hobby and even criminals are allowed those. She's the YA community's equivalent of the raw prawns in the curtain rod, and all we can do is hope she gets bored or discovers it's more profitable to learn how to write properly than to try and destroy readers.
But if she's going to copy whole blog posts and forum comments of mine, then I will lodge a copyright complaint. Not because it pisses me off that she's talking crap about me, but because she uses screen grabs without linkbacks for one reason only – to prevent people putting a conversation in context, and so she can present her 'unique' (that is, fraudulent) perspective on reality. She can't even criticise me honestly. She's got to make shit up.
She's attacked me because I've spoken out. Everyone she's targeted, she's targetted for the same reason – for daring to be honest. She's done damn near everything she can to silence her critics. Well, if she's going to use the DMCA to do that, then I will damn well use it to make her play by the rules. Link it or lose it, baby. (Oh, and IP blocking? Childishly simple to get around. Not to mention that I have friends all over the world who can report information to me about site content.) [ETA: See this clarification.]
And now, enough of this crap. Looking forward to this book coming out? I sure am!

Kimball is the executive director of the Center for Land-Based Learning, which works across Northern California to promote the integration of agriculture, nature and society, as well as to motivate the community to respect the natural environment that produces our food. She was in Washington, D.C., this week to receive the award at Interior Department Headquarters from Secretary Sally Jewell and to meet with local Members of Congress.
"Our district's natural environment is vital to Northern California agriculture and food production. I commend the Center for Land-Based Learning for their excellent land stewardship achievements, which have provided countless benefits to our community," said Garamendi, who is a rancher and pear farmer. "It is a pleasure to partner with Mary in her mission to conserve our great outdoors and enhance the quality of life of Northern California residents."
"We have been educating high schools about conservation on private and public lands for 20 years in the Sacramento region as far north as Colusa and as far south as Vallejo," Kimball said. "We have improved the ecosystem and habitat for our wild life. Twenty-three percent of our students are going into careers that involve agriculture and environmental science.
Located in Winters, Center for Land-Based Learning is dedicated to the future generation of land stewards through their SLEWS (Student and Landowner Education and Watershed Stewardship) programs. Since 2001, SLEWS has engaged local high school classes in habitat restoration with farmers, ranchers, and resource professionals.
"Students have improved more than 1,000 acres of habitat in the nearby national wildlife refuges and private lands. In addition, the partnership has reached over 5,000 high school students," Kimball said.
She added, "This award recognizes the Center for Land-Based Learning and all of our partners: U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Audubon California, USDA-NRCS, California Waterfowl Association, and many Resource Conservation Districts, high schools, teachers and students."

Cloud-based Information Governance Solution
Proofpoint Enterprise Governance enables organizations to track, classify, monitor, and control information across the enterprise— regardless of where it is located.
Today, data continues to grow at a staggering rate, with some analysts projecting as high as 44 times in the next 10 years. Clearly, continuing a "keep everything forever" strategy will likely result in serious legal, compliance and cost issues. Time has never been better for a solution that enables proactive information governance.
Proofpoint Enterprise Governance allows organizations to regain control over information with a solution uniquely designed to:
- Mitigate Legal and Compliance Risk: by delivering greater visibility and control over critical content.
- Reduce eDiscovery and Storage Cost: by enabling defensible disposition of redundant, obsolete, and transitory content
- Deliver Results With Minimal Impact: by leveraging patented Digital Thread™ technology, organizations can increase control without deploying more infrastructure, or depending on user action.
Tracking with Digital Thread™ Technology
The Proofpoint Enterprise Governance solution leverages a breakthrough architecture that overcomes the challenges of outdated enterprise information management systems. Digital Thread™ technology works like a GPS system for documents, tracking an enterprise document as it moves throughout your infrastructure. It does so without requiring additional systems investment, complex data migration, or change in the way that users collaborate around specific information.
Digital Thread™ technology
Digital Thread technology uses patented algorithms to allow users to track and manage enterprise documents moving through disparate systems including email, hard drives, shared drives, removable drives, Microsoft SharePoint, IBM Lotus Domino, Dropbox, and Box.net.
Easy storing and sharing Digital Thread™
Instead of being required to check enterprise documents into and out of a central document repository system, Proofpoint Enterprise Governance users are free to store and share enterprise documents the same way they always have, so organizations' existing business practices remain intact.
Track and manage documents through the entire lifecycle with Digital Thread™
Since the Proofpoint Enterprise Governance solution tracks and manages enterprise documents with its Digital Thread system, the enterprise documents can be monitored and managed through the entire document lifecycle. Document tracking and management begins upon creation or reception of an enterprise document.
What Digital Thread™ captures
When a document is saved, the Digital Thread system stores metadata about the document. This enables the document's identity and classification to survive location and filename changes as the document travels through an enterprise's disparate systems. To accomplish this, the Proofpoint Enterprise Governance solution tags every document within its management system. These tags act as the document's DNA and, combined with Proofpoint's patented algorithm system, allow the document management service to determine if and how any two enterprise documents are genetically related.
File types supported
Since the Digital Thread system never embeds information within an enterprise document, it can track any file type. The system also continues to track files whose metadata has been accidentally or intentionally removed.

High on Southern RockDiana Olson interviews Atlanta, Georgia's The Higher Choir. See the interview on the Arizona Links page (use this link). Going Back, and Back... ________________________________ Bill Thames PhotographyExcellent music writer Bill Thames has been following guitar hero Tommy Talton for a long time and has contributed an excellent review of Tommy's new LP to this edition of the CCJ at RARWRITER.com. Bill's talents don't stop there. Visit his website for Bill Thames Photography using this link and enjoy the wonderful gallery he has posted there. ______________ Killing Scott Panetti in Texas Convicted murderer Scott Panetti is scheduled to be executed in Texas on December 3, 22 years after he committed the double murder of his in-laws in 1992. This has been a case that the Creative Culture Journal at RARWRITER.com has followed for years. It was, in fact, the first major feature that ran on this site, which revolved around the work of Scott Panetti's sister Vikki Panetti, who at the time of our feature was fronting a rock band in Los Angeles called Shemonster. Use this link to revisit that story. The Panetti family has fought tirelessly to spare Scott Panetti's life, not because he is innocent of his horrendous crime, but because he is a schizophrenic who never understood his own actions, represented himself disastrously at his trial, which was a farce, and to this day has no idea why the State of Texas wants him to die. He believes they are persecuting him for his Christian beliefs. The story is tragic in so many ways, not the least of which, according to his family and his high-profile defenders, is that he is not mentally competent to be held accountable for his own actions. Panetti was a Navy man, part of a Naval Intelligence group, who had continued his family's tradition of military service, but he began to show signs of mental illness toward the end of his teenaged years, which is when schizophrenia typically surfaces in people prone to the disease. He started hearing voices in his head, which instructed him to commit the violent crimes that he committed. Why the State of Texas, which executes more criminals than any other state, is so hell-bent on executing this deranged individual, who defenders argue should be kept in a mental institution for the rest of his life, is beyond comprehension for many. Certainly Scott Panetti's execution would go down as one of the most tragic injustices against an individual citizen ever committed by any government institution in the history of the United States. This is a story worth revisiting because it says so much about who we are as a people; or more to the point, who the people of Texas are that they would allow this heinous act against a guy who has already been victimized by one of life's most secret and devastating assassins: schizophrenia. _____________ PR World NewsBillboard has announced that marketing and promotion powerhouse The Syndicate has acquired boutique PR & Artist Development agency Tijuana Gift Shop and is absorbing the company's roster and staff. TGS principal Jeff Kilgour will become VP of PR and Artist Development at The Syndicate and brings over an eclectic roster including The Revivalists, Faded Paper Figures, Elizabeth & The Catapult, The Dead Daisies, Mia Dyson and more. ____________ Sean MichaelsGiller Prize for Us Conductors
Although Sean Michaels published his debut novel, Us Conductors, last April, he has been a stalwart in Canada's music and cultural community for more than a decade, since founding the influential music blog Said the Gramophone in 2003. While the blog is still going strong, his writing career is going stronger. On Monday, November 10, he was awarded the Scotiabank Giller Prize and the $100,000 that goes with it, becoming, at 32, one of the youngest winners in the prize's history and only the second-ever debut novelist to claim the annual fiction award. So what is Us Conductors about? Here is the Amazon description of his work: "In a finely woven series of flashbacks and correspondence, Lev Termen, the Russian scientist, inventor, and spy, tells the story of his life to his "one true love," Clara Rockmore, the finest theremin player in the world. In the first half of the book, we learn of Termen's early days as a scientist in Leningrad during the Bolshevik Revolution, the acclaim he receives as the inventor of the theremin, and his arrival in 1930s New York under the aegis of the Russian state. In the United States he makes a name for himself teaching the theremin to eager music students and marketing his inventions to American companies. In the second half, the novel builds to a crescendo as Termen returns to Russia, where he is imprisoned in a Siberian gulag and later brought to Moscow, tasked with eavesdropping on Stalin himself. Throughout all this, his love for Clara remains constant and unflagging, traveling through the ether much like a theremin's notes. Us Conductors is steeped in beauty, wonder, and looping heartbreak, a sublime debut that inhabits the idea of invention on every level." ___________ Publisher's Weekly Names Their Choices for the Best Books of 2014Feel free to disagree, but this is what PW came up with. On Immunity: An Inoculation Biss, while making an unimpeachable case for childhood vaccination, delves into the metaphors that accompany notions of purity and invasion, and recounts the medical history of vaccine development. It's a touching personal story that seeks to understand why the antivax crowd exists and why it's such a well-meaning, if misguided, movement. Thirteen Days in September: Carter, Begin, and
Sadat at Camp David Wright's meticulous account of the 1978 Camp David Accords weaves a nail-biting chronicle of the accords themselves with the histories of the three leaders and the land that has been an unending center of conflict since biblical times. It's an unparalleled work and one that deserves to be called objective. The Corpse Exhibition Powerful and disturbing, these stories of the war in Iraq from an Iraqi perspective combine the grit of reality with the surreal. Wise and terrifying, comic and gripping, Blasim, in exile from his native Iraq, is an original voice whose writing is justifiably compared to Gogol, Bolaño, and Borges. Limonov No run-of-the-mill biography, this witty, fascinating portrait of the paradoxical Edward Limonov—a far-right ally of Serbian war criminals and principled opponent of Putin; a butler in New York City; and a literary rock star in Paris—has biographer Carrère giving himself a supporting part in the story as he ponders his own relationship to a confounding man who mirrors Russia's many transformations. Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay Ferrante's series of Neapolitan novels has cemented its place as one of the greatest in modern fiction. This third installment, which follows the evolving and complicated relationship between girlhood friends Elena and Lila, is the best so far. A Brief History of Seven Killings A virtuosic performance detailing three turbulent decades in Jamaican history, centering on the attempted assassination of Bob Marley. The voices of government agents, gang members, ex-girlfriends, and ghosts all contribute, and the result is shocking, cerebral, and exhilarating. The Empathy Exams: Essays Jamison is ever-probing and always sensitive in her first collection of essays, providing a heady and unsparing examination of pain. Her observations of people, reality TV, music, film, and literature serve as starting points for unconventional metaphysical inquiries into poverty tourism, prison time, random acts of violence, abortion, bad romance, and stereotypes of the damaged woman artist. Bark In Moore's fourth story collection, her characters seem to have caught up to her sly, sharp voice. The young women are gone, replaced by divorcées. The sadness may outweigh the humor, but the balance here may be Moore's ideal combination, authentic and wise. No one captures what it's like to live in today's world quite like Lorrie Moore. The Dog The unnamed narrator of O'Neill's novel is an American adrift in Dubai, where he works as an "officer" for a wealthy Lebanese family, turning a blind eye to ethically questionable activity and knowingly pursuing his own dead end. It's a devastating story of a man circling the drain, lost in the last society that will have him. Deep Down Dark: The Untold Stories of 33 Men Buried
in a Chilean Mine, and the Miracle That Set Them Free Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Tobar movingly revisits the story of the 33 miners who spent 69 days in 2010 trapped in Chile's San José Mine. He captures, with compassion and without sensationalism, the experience of surviving more than 2,000 feet underground, and of emerging above ground into a media frenzy. |

Over the past couple months on the Libertarian Longhorns Facebook group, I have had the pleasure of creating liberty-themed "memes" that have generally proven to be popular. The Internet is by far one of the greatest examples of spontaneous order I can think of, and the culture it has created is incredibly unique. Through internet humor, myself and other libertarians have found a quick and easy outlet to make a mockery out of the institutions we despise and celebrate the people who champion our ideals. I thought I'd share some of them here so that a larger audience can enjoy them.
I also made some featuring Libertarian Longhorns members.
Enjoy these? Feel free to share these with your friends!
More memes will be shared in upcoming posts.

Prevent Future Maintenance
The right preparation and paint can help avoid maintenance headaches later. Primer is usually a good idea, even if painting a darker latex paint over a light-colored latex paint. Primer helps the paint adhere better and last longer; plus, it protects the wall.
Use a glossy paint in kitchens, bathrooms and maybe kids' rooms. Glossier paints absorb less dirt, grease and moisture. They are also easier to clean.

Pakistan's reported plans to execute 500 more people are "deeply disturbing" and would do nothing to protect civilians from the conflict with the Taliban.
19 December 2014
A decision by South Korea's Constitutional Court to dissolve an opposition political party could have chilling consequences for freedom of expression and association in the country.
A record number of countries have thrown their weight behind a key UN General Assembly resolution calling for a moratorium on executions with a view to abolishing the death penalty globally.
A flurry of activity by UN member states to sign and ratify the global Arms Trade Treaty before it enters into force next week is another clear sign of the overwhelming support for this historic move to rein in the irresponsible international arms trade.
A lack of coordination and major gaps in humanitarian assistance is causing untold hardship for many of the 900,000 people displaced by the conflict in Iraq who are sheltering in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
Ireland must allow transgender people to have their gender legally recognized in a quick, transparent and accessible manner, Amnesty International said after the country's Gender Recognition Bill was published.
Resuming the death penalty is not the answer to combating terrorism in Pakistan and only perpetuates a cycle of violence, Amnesty International said as two people were executed in the country today for the first time since 2012.
18 December 2014
The rights of migrants are being trampled across the globe as they face economic exploitation, discrimination and racism in a range of countries.
17 December 2014
Today's prisoner exchange between the USA and Cuba presents the best opportunity in more than half a century to forge an agenda for human rights change amid efforts to normalize relations between the two countries.
The Pakistani government must resist giving in to fear and anger in the wake of the Peshawar school tragedy and maintain its moratorium on executions.

I bought the purple Pumi Bar based on the reviews and also bought the Blue Cross cuticle remover another reviewer below mentioned. They worked beautifully! I then applied L'Occitane's Shea Butter Hand Cream to my feet and went to bed. Viola! Soft feet!
By using cheapie finds like the Pumi Bar I can justify the expensive hand cream! Lol!
My sister in law turned me onto Mr. Pumice. I've been living in Arizona for 4 years now and ever since I've been living here my feet have been looking terrible! I've tried the ped-egg, filers, "heel tastic cream", nothing worked except for Mr. Pumice! I'll ALWAYS stay stocked up on these.
TNI--totally not impressed. I picked this up at Sally's because of the rave reviews, but it's just not working for me. I've followed the directions and tips reviewers suggested, but no matter how I use it, my feet feel chewed up and rough in some places and only somewhat smooth in others. I also don't like the purple residue in the tub. But the lavender side is great for scrubbing nicotine stains off my fingers, so it's not a total loss. Back to the Diamancel for me.

This is as much a staple in the shower as shampoo, conditioner, body wash and facial cleanser. It really smooths out your calluses and thoroughly cleans your feet of dirt and grime (I wear flip flops the entire summer so my feet always get a bit dirty).
I have the diamancel foot buffer that cost so much more but was not as effective as Mr. Pumice. It's one of my favorite products.
I have so much back stock on Mr. Pumice. Their the best!! It's a staple in my life! My boyfriend calls it my sandpaper.
Great if you wear sandals a lot because even if you shower and scrub your feet, it won't get all that dust from the floor on your feet off. Sounds really terrible, but wearing sandals all day, and then showering at the end of the night, you can see the dirt washing off your feet. LOL! I know, TMI but it's better than having it still on your feet, now that's gross.
I never skip this step in my shower :) I loveeee it and I love that they come in so many different colors.
I use this on my feet, but I also like it for my hands on places where I develop calluses from activities where I might actually WANT to keep the callus (for skin protection, they do form for a reason) but don't want it to be dry and nasty or crack.
With the Pumi bar it's really easy to just do as little or as much as you want - so if you want to keep a callus you can knock it back a bit so it's not peeling or about to peel, but not all the way to normal skin.

I have the cheap, smaller bar you get for a buck something. There are other reviews here for the larger slightly more expensive bar.
Bright blue bar, got it at Sally beauty supply for 1.49. Use it with soap and warm water to file down your hooves. It works fairly well, although it disintegrates quickly leaving pumicey parts in the sink, but it washes off me and the sink quickly. I was left with smooth heels that I quickly moisturized with tree hut Shea body butter. My feet will wake up smooth and supple.

best pumice bar ever! LOVE this thing. Plus if you get Bed bath and Beyond coupons you can get 20% off the price even though its only $2! hahaha

More reviews by AllKillNoDrill
If you wear flip flops or sandals often and you don't want Fred Flintstone feet, you need this. It's cheap, it's fast, and one bar will last a very long time. This will also mold to your foot shape with use, which is nice. I have a heel side and sole side. Use at the end of a shower or bath with just a little bit of soap and you're good to go.

Get Crosby On Against Chara
I am on Twitter @AndrewRothey
—Zdeno Chara is a behemoth defenseman capable of completely dominating opposing forwards with his size and reach. How well he can neutralize the Penguin offense will be key.
Who will he match up against? While it seems pretty clear that the Bergeron line will matchup against Crosby, there have been conflicting media reports of what defense pairing the Bruins will deploy against the Crosby and Malkin lines. If I were Claude Julien, I would send Chara against Malkin. Dan Bylsma doesn't spend much time worrying about line matchups, but the Pens should try to get Crosby out against Chara as often as possible. Usually you try to get your best players away from their best defenseman, but here's why I think Pens should embrace the matchup:
1) With Bergeron shadowing Crosby, putting your best defenseman out against Malkin seems logical. Crosby's speed and low leverage have caused problems for Chara in the past. From a physical standpoint, it seems like Chara would fit better for the Bruins going against Malkin. Malkin's line plays a more east/west game, likes to carry the puck through the neutral zone and cycle down low, and Malkin looks to set up his sniping wingers for one-timers. That style of game plays into Chara's strengths: using his reach to disrupt puck carriers and to close down passing lanes in the slot, and using his size to stand forwards up at the blueline. If both Bergeron and Chara are on against Crosby, which is what I expect at least to start, the Malkin line will have free reign.
2) Part of the Penguins game plan will be to dump the puck in on Chara and forecheck him hard. To hit him at every opportunity. To make him skate the full sheet all series long. From a physical and forechecking standpoint, the combination of Dupuis and Kunitz doles out a lot more punishment than Iginla and Neal. That is more a compliment to Dupuis and Kunitz than a knock on Iginla and Neal. Crosby's line also plays a lot more north/south style. The Pens will be able to wear Chara down a lot more effectively with Crosby's line.
3) The Bruins like to take advantage of Chara's booming slap shot on the powerplay. The first shift after a powerplay, when Chara will likely be on the bench, look for Byslma to deploy Malkin and Crosby together with either Neal or Kunitz.
No matter what the Bruins do, the Pens will be able to get shifts, particularly at home with the last change, for the star centers with Chara off the ice. The Pens are simply just a matchup nightmare.
—I am not really much of an old-school hockey guy, but I do enjoy the occasional fight. Especially the kind you tend to see in the playoffs. Where the anger, frustration, and desire of playing the same team day after day boils over between two guys and they just go at it. If Douglas Murray, Brendan Morrow, or Deryk Engelland can goad Milan Lucic into a fight this series, I think it bodes well for the Pens. Lucic is going to try to hit everything that moves and plant himself in front of Vokoun. Without taking unnecessary penalties, the Pens need to hit him back and battle him for every inch in front of the cage. They need to channel their inner Ulf. If that means a fight breaks out at some point, all the better for the Pens. Shows they have made him work for it.
—For all the talk about the Pens high-flying offense, the NHL playoff leading scorer plays for Boston. David Krejci has 17 points and is playing between the rejuvenated Lucic and Nathan Horton. Krejci is a shifty, smart little playmaker and his hulking wingers use their size to get him time and space. Shutting down the Bruins top line will take a five man effort every time out, but the Bruins do not have a ton of offensive depth after them. Bergeron has an elite hockey IQ and skills to match and Tyler Seguin is a former 2nd overall pick capable of being the Bruins best player for stretches, but still lacks consistency. Rich Peverley adds some playmaking ability and Brad Marchard is always fishing around the tough areas on the ice. Line for line, man for man, the Bruins cannot match the Pens skill and scoring ability.
—Vokoun's numbers have been absolutely stellar since he replaced Fleury and he deserves full marks for righting the ship against the speedy Islanders. One area of his game that has been lacking is rebound control. He has not been absorbing shots like a goalie with his save percentage (.941) usually does. Sometimes, it appears he does not have a good sense of where he rebounds are going. I wonder how sustainable that is. Just like a baseball player who goes through a stretch where everything he hits seems to find a hole, goalies can go through periods where the rebounds they give up seem to be just out of an opposing forward's reach. The Bruins, with their size, are a team that will camp in the tough areas waiting for second chance opportunities much more than the Islanders and Senators did. Vokoun will have to dampen and control shots better and the defensemen will have to tie up sticks in front. The battle in front of the Pens net, particularly on the PK, will be huge.

Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:
Based in Indianapolis, IndianaServing the Great Lakes Region
About Our Rescue Group:
Northern Lights Sled Dog Rescue came together with the goal of helping displaced northern breed dogs. We are a small organization of volunteers with a shared commitment to keeping rescue about helping dogs. You wont see any fluff or ego here . . .just plenty of heart! Youll just see caring people working hard and keeping our focus on what we are here for -- the timely rescue and responsible placement of dogs who need our help. Our mission is to advocate for and/or rescue stray, abandoned, displaced or abused dogs; in particular, northern breed dogs facing euthanasia in Indiana shelters. Though our emphasis is on Siberian Huskies and Siberian Husky mixes, we also want to help wherever resources allow with the rescue and placement of Alaskan Malamutes and other northern breed mixes. Our focus is to place these dogs into loving, secure, permanent homes with people who understand and celebrate the unique characteristics of their breeds.Donate to Our Rescue Group...
http://ww.northernlights.petfinder.comCome Meet our Pets:
We are a rescue organization and have no physical shelter. The dogs in our direct care are placed in foster homes the majority of these homes are in the Indianapolis area; however, we also have foster homes in other Indiana communities.You can meet adoptable dogs from the Indy area from 12:00-4:00 PM on the first and third Saturday of every month at PETCO, 7565 US Highway 31 South. This PETCO is located on the east side of US 31 near Borders Books south of Southport Road and north of Stop 11 Road. We thank them for the opportunity to showcase our adoptable pets!
The dogs in shelters are posted on a referral basis. In the vast majority of cases, these dogs have a VERY limited amount of time to find an adoptive home. We welcome you inquiries, and will be pleased to provide you with contact information for the appropriate shelter!
Our Adoption Process:
So you think you want to adopt a Siberian Husky? The first question to ask, before allowing yourself to be swept away by the Siberians breathtaking beauty and winning smile, is Is a Siberian Husky really the dog for me? These charming dogs present their share of challenges and, quite simply, ARE NOT for everybody!For a fun way to assess the fit between your lifestyle and your idea of a "dream dog"
as compared to what you can expect from a Siberian Husky, please contact us for a link to visit avery cool, INTERACTIVE profiler. If you have no personal experience with the breed, this is an excellent "reality check" on whether this is the right dog for you!
Our Pet List features our foster dogs as well as many beautiful dogs in Indiana shelters who are facing euthanasia if not adopted or otherwise rescued. Many of these dogs dogs are almost out of time, and it is ALWAYS our policy to give those dogs in the most desperate situations the first and best chance at getting to safety. Urgent dogs are not in our care only due to lack of space. We take in as many as we can, but the need is far greater than our resources. Please CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY for a list of links to dogs who are running out of time and options in shelters. We will get back to you TODAY!
Please note that the direct adoption of Siberians in shelters will be in accordance with that shelter's policies, and that we rely on information supplied by the shelter with respect to temperament, health, etc. Because in most cases we have not had the opportunity to evaluate these dogs ourselves, we cannot guarantee the health and temperament of referral dogs, and will always refer you directly to the shelter for further information about the dogs in their care.
The adoption process for our foster dogs consists of a thorough screening including an APPLICATION, COMPLETE REFERENCE CHECKS, a VET REFERENCE and a HOME VISIT. Want to take the first step NOW? Just CLICK HERE and request an application, and well get back to you within 24 hours.
All foster dogs placed for adoption are microchipped, spayed or neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, wormed, heartworm-tested, and on heartworm preventative. Because we keep our costs confined strictly to the dogs needs, we dont have to pad adoption fees to cover overhead expenses such as advertising, display materials, or any other expenditures which do not directly go to caring for rescued dogs. Though there are occasional exceptions, our fee structure is as follows:
Purebred Puppies up to 18 Months of Age: $225
Purebred Adults: $200
Husky & Malamute Mixes: $175.00
Seniors or Special Needs Dogs: Please Inquire

Mermaids Landing is a picture-perfect, super comfortable, extremely functional little beachfront gem of a beach cottage that lives very big! With a magazine-quality decor and easy care finishes, it's just the place to spend a weekend... or a month or two on the Oregon coast!
Writers & painters love it! Also great for those 'girlfriend getaways', honeymoons and other special occasions... most of our guests say they don't want to leave!
The great room is big enough to host a party, but intimate enough just for two! Satellite TV, filled bookshelves, lux white leather sectional sofa, and a fantastic coconut shell chandelier! A daybed that also converts to a queen bed allows 4 people to be very well accommodated in this special place!
The compact, but very functional as well as artsy kitchen is an entertainers delight (6 burner gas cooktop, quality small appliances & equipment as well as pretty dishes and plenty of glassware)!
Two unique, very beachy 'dock' decks add real character to this cottage, one the entry porch and the other heads from the great room out toward the beach. Enjoy your morning cup of coffee, summer barbecues and/or wine afternoons!
Upstairs, the bedroom is a true respite, light & airy in creams & aqua with vaulted ceilings, a subtle 'wave' wall (so soothing to drift off to sleep or awaken to), and an extremely comfortable king bed (seriously: 6 people have purchased the same bed after sleeping in it, and the 7th just said they plan to!) There's a computer desk at the window for those who must do a little work; the view from it might make it a bit hard to concentrate on work however!
A full size washer & dryer plus a custom bath: lighthouse stripes climb one wall, while a custom (created by the owner) glass tile octopus surrounds a porthole in the shower, giving you peek at the bay even while you wash!
Be forewarned: a stay at mermaids cottage may be addictive... you WILL be back!!
We accept pymt by personal check, visa/mstrcard or direct bank deposit. A 50% deposit reserves your stay, with the balance due 30 days prior to arrival date. Book your spring and summer stays now!
Babyboomers that love to travel, Susan and Greg have opened their special homes to vacationers for 19 years. Originally from Alaska, currently splitting their time between Washington, Oregon and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (where vacation homes Casa Kaeli and Casa Susana are located.)
Susan is a fused glass artist, decorator and aspiring writer, Greg a finish carpenter and maintenance man extraordinaire!
Most important in their lives are their many friends (some they met as rental guests) and wonderful family (3 grown children and 9 incredibly gorgeous & smart ~ of course ~ grand kids!)
Sue Lyons purchased this cottage in 2010
We built Mermaids Landing in 2012 as a 'temporary' cottage, actually the future double garage of a larger planned beach house. After living in the cottage for a summer, we realized we loved little now!! We are happy to share this special retreat so that others can enjoy it too!
Stained concrete floors downstairs make for easy-care, barefoot beach living! The open plan make this space absolutely delightful with a ton of light and excellent views of the water, sand and ever-changing weather patterns. Take your morning cup of coffee for a beach walk, sit around a beach bonfire at night. In between, there are countless things to do... or just do nothing. Either way, we are certain you will be more than delighted with this simple but beautiful beach abode... deigned especially for casual living at the Oregon Coast.
We had a great time at this cottage. I loved the decor; it was very unique and special. The view of the bay was fabulous. The kitchen had everything I needed to make a great meal and I could have left my french press at home since it even had that! We would stay here again.
Right in our local area (Taft), there's a great neighborhood gym (Fitness 101), grocery store, kids arcade gallery, great restaurants, bonfire building, kite flying, kayaking and clamming on the flats and fishing up the Salmon River or along Salishan spit if you've got a boat.

Anyone have ideas on making a moveable raised bed for me to expand my 'garden' onto the conrete driveway? The thought of a flat bed trailer has come to mind which would have the heft needed to support a large amount of soil, etc. but I would like something the kids could move if they wanted to shoot hoops. It would also double as a potted plan storage platform in the winter, pulling it into the garage at night and out into the sun on nice days.
Thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi kbec, I have exactly just that - a 4 x 8 raised bed that is one foot tall sitting on my driveway. Then I have another 2 x 16 raised bed that is also a foot tall sitting on the driveway. I've got pictures in my blog of this. Now - making it movable - that is something that I can't provide assistance on. You are looking at a huge amount of weight. You'd need some heavy casters with locks (so it didn't just roll) and some very heavy board underneath to hold the soil up. Even then, the boards underneath would most likely decay if using something like plywood or particle board. You could use slats of treated lumber as the bottom - and this would also allow for drainage. But you'd also need to run some supports across the bottom so the boards don't bow in the middle. As you said though - the soil is going to be very heavy - and I just would wonder how easy it would be move something that large. |
