Manga Soccer Quiz
Football: Soccer Cards Game
Fate will establish the value of the cards that will make up your team, your skills instead will allow you to select the 3 winning cards at the right time!
The cpu will kick off the challenge by establishing randomly who will start with the first attack action.
Each user must choose three players among the cards based on its role in that round (attack or defense), the aim of the attacker is to make goal and that happens only if he beats his opponent in two out of three cards if the opponent does not deploy a goalkeeper, three out of three if the goalkeeper is in defense.
The evaluation is performed by comparing the values on the two cards: First, we compare those relating to the ability of the attacker in attack and in defense of the defender and the advantage is gained by the player with the highest value. We proceed to the comparison of other values summing them together, if the difference between the two totals favors the weaker and is equal to or greater than five in favor of those who lost the challenge attack / defense, the result is overturned and the advantage goes to player who was at a disadvantage.
If the card ends up by losing it can no longer be used, but if the card wins it can be used another time.
Who scores the most goals at the end wins the game.
Have fun!

Modern Skateism
For most of the Jews in Israel, Yom Kippur is the most solemn religious fast of the Jewish year. There are many "Don't" customs regarding this day such as – don't eat, don't turn on electricity… don't drive, etc. For 24 hours you will not see a single car in many parts of the country. This very unique day transforms Israel into a huge playground for any kind of transportation without an engine – especially a skateboard. Just try to imagine a big metropolis without buses cars, trucks or trains. Huge spans of roadway and freeways, free of vehicular traffic, waiting to be skated upon.
Filmmaker Amit Schwachter captures some of these rare moments with his good friend and skater Tamuz Rachman and this short film is the result.
etnies and Plan B Launch Footwear Collaboration
etnies and Plan B" />etnies and Plan B have had ties since '97 and the brands collaborated on a new footwear collection that is dropping today to coincide with the upcoming Plan B video "TRUE."

The two brands have had ties since 1992 when Sal Barbier skated etnies Raps in Plan B's legendary first video, "Questionable."
Today, Ryan Sheckler leads the charge continuing the alliance between etnies and Plan B. The etnies x Plan B collaboration collection includes the styles that he uses and abuses regularly – the Marana, Marana E-Lite and the Scout all featuring STI Evolution® Foam. The Marana was designed and developed for Ryan to withstand the harsh demands of his skating, and the Marana E-Lite is the newest and most progressive style in the Marana bloodline. The lightweight, durable and high-impact rebound cushioning Scout is the supreme comfort shoe that these guys wear anytime they are off their boards.

Ukraine Promises To Crush Insurgency; Chechnya Denies Sending Troops
Originally published on Wed May 28, 2014 4:25 am
Chechnya's leader says the country hasn't sent fighters to join rebels in eastern Ukraine, denying a charge that gained substance after Chechens were reportedly found in the aftermath of recent fighting in Donetsk. Ukraine is continuing its offensive against the rebels.
Ukraine's President-elect Petro Poroshenko says he will crush the pro-Russian insurgency, promising to step up operations against armed men who have occupied buildings and set up barricades.
Poroshenko's comments this week have coincided with an air and ground attack on the international airport in Donetsk, where dozens of pro-Russian militants were reportedly killed Monday and Tuesday.
A Ukrainian official accuses Moscow of "exporting terrorism" into Ukraine, as trucks of armed men crossed the border.
From Kiev, NPR's Peter Kenyon reports for our Newscast unit:
"Chechen regional leader Ramzan Kadyrov issued a statement saying he didn't send fighters to Ukraine, but that some Chechens may have gone on their own. Journalists in Donetsk report finding Chechens among the wounded from fighting at the Donetsk airport, which the government now controls again.
Ukraine's deputy foreign minister says dozens of trucks barreled through the border carrying armed men and weapons. Danyloy Lubkivsky accuses Russia of waging an 'unannounced war on Ukraine.'
" 'Russia is exporting terrorism in the most brutal, unashamed manner possible. This needs to stop,' he said.
"Moscow denies the charge, and demands that Kiev halt its military operation immediately."
Hoping to strengthen Ukraine's military, incoming leader Poroshenko has promised to give soldiers a raise. Kyiv Post reports that Poroshenko made the pledge just before the election, saying that army volunteers would get $83 a day rather than $50 a month; they would also be eligible for life insurance under his plan.
President Obama congratulated Poroshenko on his victory Tuesday, offering "the full support of the United States as he seeks to unify and move his country forward," according to a White House statement.

2006 Cadillac CTS-VChange
2006 Cadillac CTS-V Expert Review:Autoblog
This might seem like an odd way to start off a week in one of the fastest sedans on the market, but I figure if I'm to be an honest blogger I should divulge everything. Just come clean right here, right now. OK I'm ready…A great part of my early driving as a teenager was behind the wheel of my mom's Cadillac.
My parents are divorced and my dad lived on the west coast. Growing up he had the coolest bunch of cars of all time. When I was little he had a Trans Am just like the one in Smokey and the Bandit (there was nothing cooler back then). He had a Porsche 911, Corvette Stingray and numerous other sports cars over the years. Some I got to drive when I was in college.
But in high school I lived with my mom. And while she was a terrific single mother, her car choice of a 1989 Cadillac Sedan Deville was crushing to a 16 year-old boy. I will admit I drove that thing all the time and my friends were always along for the ride, even if it was uncool and handled more like a boat than a car.
I've disliked Cadillacs ever since. A dozen or so years later and I'm behind the wheel of by far the coolest Cadillac I've ever sat in. The 400 horsepower engine is rumbling, the black leather and suede seats are luxurious and there's even XM satellite radio providing a wide range of music. The CTS-V might change the way I think about Cadillacs forever.
Cadillac CTS-V
400 horsepower, 395 lb-ft of torque
6-speed manual, Tremec
4-wheel disc, 14 in. front and 14.4 rear Brembo, 4-piston calipers
Mileage: 16/23 city/hwy
Base Price: $51, 295
The love for the CTS-V is in the 400 horsepower engine. The nice seats, satin chrome trim and Bose stereo are all nice window dressing but the heart and soul of the car is the rumbling beast under the hood. And boy does it rumble.
Wherever you stop, traffic light, parking lot, drive-thru etc., the car shimmies as the engine idles. In almost every way the car reminds me of the new Pontiac GTO. Maybe it's just that rumbling and the tough shifter that "intelligently" shifts from 1st to 4th to save gas that makes me think of the GTO. But really it's the cold-stop to cheek pulling velocity that show off the family resemblance.
What the CTS-V really offers is an all-American luxury sedan that can go to 60 mph in under 5 seconds. And it doesn't give up too much of the creature comforts. Even with 18-inch run flats, the road manners are quite cushy in comparison to most sports oriented sedans. Highway driving is nice and quiet and the car handles bumps a lot better than one would think. Even though the handling has been tuned on the Nurburgring, the CTS-V does not turn like a German car. It is a much more vague connection to the road that will turn off BMW M and Audi S owners.
A few people wrote in about the price tag being a bit too much to handle. But the way I look at it, you're getting the power of a $44,000 Corvette and the practicality of a $30,000 CTS in the same vehicle. Plus there's all that exclusivity.
Tomorrow I'll tackle what I don't like about the monster Caddy.
I hate to point out faults in such an outrageously powerful vehicle. But that is the tough life of the auto journalist/blogger. Almost every complaint comes from the interior/exterior of the car which isn't a fault of the V team. All the performance enhancements to the standard CTS should be heralded, even if we still can't logically explain a need for 400 horses in a Cadillac.
The most glaring issue with the car is the fit and finish. Not everything is horrible and that's the problem. Some things, like the curvy satin chrome door handles, are top notch. But then something as simple as the power window, mirror buttons are clunky and not that sensitive.
The diamond cut pattern of black molded plastic looks great on the dash and doors. I like it and it is brand specific to Cadillac. I just think it looks horrible when applied to the otherwise hot leather-wrapped steering wheel. The air vents steal directly from Saab and therefore feel a bit European and upscale. One V team touch is the door sill insert, nice.
If we start talking about the stereo interface I get really upset. I've tried numerous times to fix the EQ to the way I like it on the digital screen. Every time I change from radio to satellite radio to CD it switches back to where it was and I have to readjust. I might need time with the manual, as readers like to say, but after all the cars I've been in, a radio should be somewhat intuitive, even this one.
Outside, my only beef is the front grill. Did we really need the shiny steel mesh grill? It is a bit too much for me, but I prefer a stealth look. The CTS-V is the ultimate stealth performance sedan until you see that grill.
The only real performance issues I have are the sluggish shifter and the parking brake. Parking brake you ask? Yes, it seems since the CTS was never thought to have a manual transmission the brake couldn't be moved to a hand brake on the center console next to the shifter. Instead you get a foot brake that screams "old man" car. It's not like I'm planning on going drifting in the CTS-V, not now anyway, but even so it's hard to get used to an extra pedal near your left leg and clutch.
That wasn't so bad was it?
A few people, who will remain nameless, have rightfully asked for more information on this M and AMG competitor's performance. Today I'll break it down into a very simple formula of where I think the CTS-V succeeds and where it doesn't in this small niche of performance tuned luxury cars.
The CTS-V gets two thumbs up and one down. Power and braking are at the top of the class and I never found the CTS-V lacking in either department. While the handling left a lot to be desired compared to the more tuned-in M, S and AMG counterparts.
Every time you touch the accelerator the LS6 engine comes to life. There is an odd knowledge as the driver that you have a near bottomless reserve of torque and horsepower at your command. If you can muscle this car past its limits you're either on a racetrack or about to get pulled over. At first I was hesitant of the power, and let me explain before everyone calls me a girl or some other derogatory name. When was the last time you drove something with 400 horsepower? Can't remember? Me neither. A friend asked me if this was the most powerful car I had ever driven and a quick run through of a bad memory had to say yes.
All that power to the rear wheels isn't the norm and most drivers are just not trained for it. In a world of increasing horsepower and decreasing value placed on driving expertise, we could see 300Cs and Mustang GTs fishtailing everywhere. But the CTS-V does put that power to the pavement remarkably well. There's not much feeling of the back end coming loose when pushed hard. For the one empty stretch I turned the traction control off I didn't notice a huge difference, but it was enough to convince me I didn't need the "Competitive Driving Mode" often enough to risk any unwanted loss of control.
The four Brembo brakes on giant 14-inch rotors bring all this power to a stop magnificently. Even compared to the same brand on other performance cars I noticed them working better with this application. When you're moving faster than you should be, having these brakes in place offers both safety and performance advantages. Of course I never drove faster than I should've been going, much.
All this performance value had me looking at ways to raise fifty large fast. But the only thing holding me back was the lack of steering response. Yes, the CTS-V takes curvy roads well, but there is still noticeable body lean and the wheel is just not as pinpoint as the Germans. There's just no way around that fact. Did it bother me that much when the engine was roaring to life under me? No way. Did it upset me that I couldn't feel the road in turns? Yes.
In the end I see the CTS-V as the American muscle to counter German fine-tuning. Drivers know which they prefer and can choose accordingly. I find the fact that the CTS-V doesn't give up much of its comfort for all the performance gains remarkable. And it doesn't damage the body like an M3. As a stealth sport sedan, get rid of the grill guys, the CTS-V succeeds. And as a first try, the GM Performance Division is probably just going to get better.
New Car Test Drive
More sport for the great American sports sedan.
The Cadillac CTS kicked off a renaissance at Cadillac and once and for all dispelled the idea that American luxury and sports sedan are mutually exclusive concepts. With sporty handling, exhilarating acceleration and powerful braking, the CTS is a sports sedan in the truest sense.
Introduced as a 2003 model, the CTS launched an edgy new styling theme at Cadillac and immediately grabbed the spotlight. The automotive press praised the dynamic qualities built into its superb rear-wheel-drive chassis. A torrent of new models has followed from Cadillac, all very good in their own right, but the CTS set the mold.
Since its launch, the CTS has been improved and refined. For 2006, a new sport performance option enhances its sporting character, while a sport appearance package can give every CTS the look of the mighty, Corvette-powered CTS-V. These options complement the new generation of V6 engines and transmissions introduced for 2005.
All of the CTS drivelines are smooth, quiet and powerful, with the latest technology and advanced electronic controls throughout. Most buyers opt for the automatic, which features a manual shift feature in all models for the first time. Yet the manual is remarkable for its smooth shifting and easygoing clutch. Those who want a true four-door sports car that will run with Porsche 911 can try the CTS-V, a hot rod that looks like a CTS but sounds and accelerates like a Corvette. The CTS-V is a great hot rod, but the other CTS models are far more pleasant for daily driving.
We love the CTS's balance of good ride quality and fine handling. We haven't been happy with its austere interior, but Cadillac has tried to soften it a bit and make it more inviting. The CTS is the first GM vehicle with XM NavTraffic, which can deliver continuous, real-time traffic information straight to the navigation screen.
The Cadillac CTS is a sophisticated car that belies its sporting potential until you mash down the gas and attack the corners. It has helped reacquaint the world with Cadillac's century-long tradition of technology and design innovation. In short, the CTS presents a real, uniquely American alternative to traditional class leaders like the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4.
The 2006 Cadillac CTS is available with two engines: a 210-horsepower, variable valve timing 2.8-liter V6 ($30,515) and a 255-horsepower 3.8-liter VVT V6 ($33,160). Both are available with a five-speed automatic transmission ($1,200) or a six-speed manual.
Standard equipment includes leather-trimmed upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, power driver's seat, driver information center, a seven-speaker sound system, 16-inch alloy wheels with all-season tires and a one-year subscription to the OnStar road assistance service.
Options include the popular Luxury Package ($2,100), which includes heated front seats with power operation for the passenger, memory presets for two drivers, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with compass, HomeLink universal garage door transmitter, alarm system, and a wood-trimmed steering wheel and shift knob.
The Sport Performance Package ($2,285), which has been realigned for 2006, adds a sport-tuned suspension tuning, high-performance brake pads, 18-inch alloy wheels with V-rated tires, load-leveling rear suspension, speed-sensitive power steering and StabiliTrak electronic stability control. The package also includes xenon high-intensity discharge headlights. A new Sport Appearance Package includes all the performance gear in Performance Package and lots of appearance tweaks: unique 18-inch wheels, restyled rocker moldings, dual exhaust tips, wire mesh grille work and a rear spoiler. In short, it's the look of the crazy-fast CTS-V for less money.
The DVD Navigation System ($2,995) includes XM Satellite Radio with a three-month subscription and a Bose stereo upgrade with six-CD changer and eight speakers, plus the new XM Nav Traffic system, which delivers real-time traffic flow information straight to the nav screen. Popular stand-alone options include a power glass sunroof with one-touch operation ($1,200), the Bose stereo and CD changer ($1,000), and a split-folding rear seat ($400).
The limited-production CTS-V ($50,675) comes stuffed with the 5.7-liter LS6 V8 engine developed for the Chevrolet Corvette, generating 400 horsepower and 395 pound-feet of torque. This monster engine comes mated to a Tremec six-speed manual gearbox (sorry, no automatic option here). The package includes big Brembo brakes and other high-performance tweaks.
Safety features on all CTS models include active features such as traction control and anti-lock brakes (ABS) with brake proportioning, which balances the braking front and rear. There are eight airbags: front, side-impact airbags for front and rear passengers, and curtain-style head protections airbags on each side. In short, the CTS comes with the full complement of safety features expected in a modern luxury car.
The CTS brought Cadillac's new Art & Science design vocabulary to the marketplace. Embodied in the controversial Evoq concept car, Art & Science is a festival of wedges, sharp junctions and chiseled angles that can be seen throughout the generation of Cadillacs that followed, starting with the CTS. This edgy design is certainly distinctive. Love it or hate it, there's no confusing a new Cadillac with anything else on the road.
For all its futuristic themes, Art & Science is supposed to hark back to the Cadillac tradition of vertical headlamps and tail lamps, which dates from the late 1950s through the '60s. Viewed from the front, the CTS is imposing, with its large louvered grille framed by sharp, vertical headlamps. This is our favorite angle. The front air dam is all business, with simple rectangular foglights and a long narrow intake near the skirt.
The CTS also has a short, high rear deck with tall, vertical tail lamps. The view from the rear is broken up by the indentation cut widely around the license plate in a contrasting color. The CTS-V looks a bit better here, thanks to body colored plastic. The rear view is evocative either way.
Yet given the power of the front and rear ends, the CTS's slab sides seem a little weak in comparison. It looks best with the largest wheels (18 inches) available.
For 2006, the V6-powered CTS can be trimmed with the look of the 400-horsepower CTS-V, without the monster engine. We like the optional Sport Appearance Package, with fat, 18-inch wheels, aggressive rocker moldings, dual exhaust tips and a rear spoiler, mostly because the V6-powered CTS models deliver enough sporting performance to pull it off. There are also three new paint colors: Radiant Bronze, Blackberry and the flashy but expensive Infrared option ($900).
The angular theme obvious in the exterior styling continues inside the Cadillac CTS. If critics have panned any particular thing about the CTS since its launch in 2003, it's the interior aesthetics. The CTS is sold in Europe and the interior reflects that. It projects an idea that driving is serious business. Visually, it's an austere cabin, lacking the warmness of the recently launched Cadillac STS.
Cadillac seems to have taken some of that criticism to heart, because many of the changes since the CTS was introduced are focused inside. The appearance of the instrument cluster was improved for 2005, though the gauges remain clear, straightforward and easy to read. For 2006, the CTS finally offers optional burl-pattern wood-like accents. There are also softer color packages, including Cashmere, introduced for 2006. As it is, the interior is a mix of high-tech textures, some dimpled like a golf ball. Many of the materials are soft and interesting to the touch.
Beyond aesthetics, the hardware works great. The leather seats are excellent, comfortable for all-day driving with good bolstering to hold your torso in place in sharp corners. There's good support for the driver's right leg, and it's soft where the right shin touches. There's a good support for the left leg as well, with a good dead pedal for the left foot. Enthusiast drivers appreciate these for the bracing they provide during a spirited drive.
The three-spoke steering wheel has buttons for the sound system and cruise control, and is deliciously padded in leather for all but the part of the rim between about 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock, which is trimmed in wood. Changing the temperature, adjusting the stereo or operating the navigation system is easy and convenient in the CTS. The center stack juts out from the rest of the dash, with the elaborate GPS navigation system at the top center location. Climate controls are at the bottom, adjusted with amber-lighted pictograms.
The stereo works well, allowing quick and easy switching from a news channel on XM Satellite Radio to music on FM to traffic on AM to a CD. The small triangular speakers for the optional Bose system are mounted on the A pillar, and look cool. OnStar is standard, allowing drivers to make hands-free, voice-activated calls. OnStar operators will call out the emergency crews if the airbags go off and you don't respond. They can unlock the doors for you, or direct you to the nearest gas station, ATM or Italian restaurant, but you'll have to pay the subscription fee after the first year.
The 2006 CTS is the first GM vehicle available with XM NavTraffic, a satellite link that provides continuously updated traffic information in cities where it's available. The system comes standard in cars equipped with the navigation system. A driver can enter a destination into the navigation system, and then, aided by a color-coded display, obtain instant traffic data on the preferred route. The map display will show average speed along that route, as well as accident locations, construction and heavy traffic congestion. If the prescribed path looks slow, the nav system can calculate an alternate, less-congested route.
The CTS offers more interior room than some of its European competition. A tall driver or passenger will be comfortable in front and only slightly cramped in the rear. The rear seats are comfortable for two or three passengers, offering good leg room, if not much thigh support. There is a convenient pass-through tunnel from the rear seat to the trunk, but only with the optional split folding rear seat.
Driving Impression
With either of its V6 engines, the Cadillac CTS drives wonderfully around town, no muss, and no fuss. It cruises comfortably on the freeway and feels right at home on winding roads. It's this mix of comfort, easy functionality and the heart for a spirited drive that defines a sports sedan, and the CTS delivers in spades.
The 3.6-liter V6 is silky smooth when cruising, less so at full throttle. It responds quickly whenever you step on the gas, a benefit of its broad torque curve, which is largely a function of variable valve timing. Both V6s are thoroughly modern engines, with 60-degree aluminum blocks, double overhead cams, electronic throttle control, coils-on-plug ignition and a structural oil pan. The 2.8-liter and 3.6-liter V6s earn the same EPA-estimated mileage ratings of 18/27 mpg City/Highway. Both run on regular 87 octane, and choosing between them is a matter of power versus cost. We prefer the bigger 3.6-liter hands down, but speed costs money, and we enjoy driving the CTS with the smaller V6.
We can highly recommend both the automatic and manual transmissions, so choosing between them is a matter of preference, or the amount of heavy stop-and-go driving on your daily commute. The five-speed automatic is superb. In normal mode, it seems to shift a lot, especially at a casual pace. Selecting the Sport mode changes the transmission's attitude, giving it sharper, more decisive responses. For 2006, the automatic features Cadillac's Driver Shift Control with both V6 engines. With it a driver can manually shift the automatic, clicking sequentially up and down. The manual mode is particularly responsive, and the five-speed automatic is an excellent choice for the CTS. It even gets better gas mileage around town than the manual.
The manual gearbox is first-rate, too, and if you put more emphasis on the sport than the sedan, you may prefer it. You can shift it so smoothly that your passengers wouldn't know it was a manual if they couldn't see you shifting. It's easy to match clutch take-up and throttle for stutter-free driving, especially at low speeds. The shifter is equally smooth, with short, precise throws. You can run up through fourth gear at low speeds without lugging the engine. The smoothness of shifting and the low-speed tractability of the engine make driving around town very pleasant.
Ride and handling are impeccable: smooth, steady, predictable. The CTS feels solid, but not heavy. Steering is precise, with just the right amount of resistance from the speed-sensitive power assist. Cadillac tuned the suspension at Germany's legendary Nurburgring circuit, because that's where German sports sedans are developed, and Cadillac was eager to challenge them on their terms. It shows. The suspension is nicely damped so the ride is very comfortable, erasing the bumps. Still, the suspension is there when you need it in rippling, twisty curves.
In short, the CTS is fun to drive. Mix rear-wheel drive, crisp handling and plenty of horsepower, and you have a recipe for charging out of corners like a racer. Go into a corner too quick and the StabiliTrak electronic stability control is there to reduce the chance of a skid, applying just the right amount of brake and throttle correction to keep the CTS on the road. The anti-lock brakes deliver powerful, predictable braking. Slam on the brakes at 70 miles an hour and there's no drama: no squealing, no swerving, just forceful stopping with full steering control.
The CTS-V has some of the same characteristics of the CTS, but make no mistake. This is a different animal, sacrificing pleasantries to achieve increased performance. For starters, the CTS-V comes exclusively with the high-performance Tremec T56 six-speed, and it's a stiff shifter. It also takes more pressure to push in the clutch pedal, and clutch take-up is fairly abrupt, making smooth launches a challenge. Your passengers will been keenly aware that you are shifting.
The Cadillac CTS delivers all the elements required of a good sports sedan, including rear-wheel drive, strong power, a first-rate automatic transmission with manual shift capability (or an excellent six-speed manual), and a superb ride-handling balance. Its styling is distinctive and its image is still fresh. This is the first smaller American luxury sedan in a long time that can play in the same league as BMW, Audi, Mercedes and Infiniti. For its part, the CTS-V can rip up chunks of poorly laid asphalt with its rear tires. It more than holds its own with the specialty cars from BMW's M division or AMG Mercedes.

SXSW Sat: PJ Harvey, Indian Jewelry, Pictureplane, Deradoorian, Zola Jesus
By Amy Phillips on March 22, 2009 at 9:25 p.m. EDT

Tom Breihan's SXSW Report: Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat
Ryan Dombal's SXSW Report: Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat
Amy Phillips' SXSW Report: Wed | Thu | Fri
Pictureplane [Mohawk; 8:15 p.m.]
Pictureplane reminds me of that time in high school in the mid-1990s when all the punks I knew suddenly turned into ravers. Everybody traded in their tight black jeans for baggy JNCOs and switched from pot to ecstasy, and for a brief time, they all acted happy instead of pissed off at the world. (These people probably drive Volvos and listen to Andrew Bird now.) Pictureplane, aka Denver knob-twiddler Travis Egedy, marries noize and day-glo beats, creating a kind of happy hardcore for the Todd P crowd. He has remixed the likes of HEALTH and Crystal Castles, but Pictureplane also wields an arsenal of original compositions, which were on display at this performance.
For his set opening the Panache Booking/Lovepump United showcase, he stood behind a table full of equipment draped in a blanket with trolls and magic mushrooms on it, wearing a baseball cap and oversized 2Pac t-shirt. As Pictureplane's candy-colored racket echoed across the nearly empty Mohawk patio, most people milled about, chatting with friends or fucking with their cell phones. But then, magically, a kindred spirit materialized: a hippie guy with a bandana on his head and a backpack on his back appeared at the front of the stage and broke out some truly intense loose-limbed dancing, as if he was at a midnight Disco Biscuits set at Bonnaroo. You go, dude.
Deradoorian [Mohawk; 8:50 p.m.]
Dirty Projectors multi-instrumentalist Angel Deradoorian had a busy SXSW, performing multiple times both with her main band and solo. Despite being out of breath from rushing to this set from another one, Deradoorian somehow quickly achieved a zen-like state of calm as she played. Her bluesy voice undulated like the tide over her sparse guitar playing, her songs meandering off down atonal corridors. She rarely played chords, instead focusing on single notes, so when a few chords did ring out at the end of "The High Road" (off of Deradoorian's forthcoming solo EP Mind Raft), it served as a cathartic tension-breaker.
Unfortunately, while Deradoorian entranced on the Mohawk's indoor stage, AIDS Wolf was tearing shit up on the patio. Every time someone opened the door leading inside the venue, Deradoorian was drowned out. It kind of served as a metaphor for SXSW in general: chances are, the loud bands flouncing around making lots of noise and causing problems are probably the ones to ignore. It's the quiet ones you should watch out for.
PJ Harvey [Stubb's; 10 p.m.]
Polly Jean Harvey stepped on stage in a sleek white dress designed like a straitjacket (belts around waist, knees, and shins) and it's on. She was in full-bore theater diva To Bring You My Love mode, plastic feathers in her hair and no instruments in hand. She actually seemed genuinely happy up there, smiling frequently to reveal impish dimples with an ease and calm missing from her music. (For good reason-- who wants to hear a relaxed, easy-going PJ Harvey song? Not I.)
The too-brief set only consisted of songs from the two albums in which Harvey shares co-billing with multi-instrumentalist John Parish: 1996's underrated Dance Hall at Louise Point and A Woman a Man Walked By, which comes out next week. Parish lead Harvey's black-clad backing band through an austere performance, melting into the background while Polly did her thing up front. I'm not a fan of most of the songs on A Woman, but there is no second-guessing PJ Harvey in a live setting. A restrained take on plodding first single "Black Hearted Love" opened the set, but by the second song, "Sixteen, Fifteen, Fourteen", Harvey let fully loose, somehow shimmying seductively in that restrictive dress while guttural growls erupted from her tiny frame. Louise Point tracks like "Civil War Correspondent" and "Taut" rumbled with primal fury, the latter's "Jesus save me!" chorus providing the most cathartic sing-along of my entire SXSW experience. Even delicate falsetto A Woman duds like "Leaving California" and "The Soldier" were undeniable, sucked into the vortex of Harvey's onstage magnetism. And I can't even describe how awesome it is to watch PJ Harvey scream "I WANT YOUR FUCKING ASS! I'LL STICK IT UP YOUR FUCKING ASS!" in "A Woman A Man Walked By".
The set ended with "Pig Will Not", with lyrics that mostly consist of Harvey shrieking "I WILL NAWT-UH!" over and over again like a royally pissed Mark E. Smith. Needless to say, she unleashed the fucking fury. Such a shame the set ended after only 40 minutes, especially when the acts afterwards were the Indigo Girls and Third Eye Blind. Sigh.
Zola Jesus [The Music Gym; 11 p.m.]
The original plan was to catch Blank Dogs' set at the Music Gym at 11:20. For some reason, Blank Dogs had been pushed back several hours. But according to fellow Pitchforker Jason Crock, the act playing in Blank Dogs' place, Zola Jesus, was pretty good, so we stopped in to check them out. And thus began one of those magic SXSW moments you hope for every year: randomly stumbling upon something you've never heard-- or even heard of-- before, and being blown away.
Stuffed in the back of the Music Gym (a cramped tin shack with a low ceiling), a woman rolled around on the floor while a keyboardist conjured up a Suicide-like dream drone. Now, usually, a woman rolling around on the floor at a noise show means unbearable cat-in-heat screeches, but not Zola Jesus. This woman had a florid, unearthly voice that was truly beautiful, and she was singing actual notes! Big, loud, ringing notes! We only caught the last two songs of the set, but the second one was a gorgeous cover of Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody to Love" that sounded like it was on sizzurp. Goosebumps.
Thanks to Google, I have since learned that this woman is a 19-year-old named Nika Roza Danilova and she's from Madison, Wisconsin, and has records out on Troubleman and Sacred Bones (this was the Sacred Bones showcase). I am kind of afraid to listen to any of her recorded music for fear it will ruin the memory of how great these few minutes were.
Indian Jewelry [The Independent; 12 a.m.]
My 2009 SXSW experience ended in a slick warehouse/loft/art gallery/big empty room off of the highway that looked like the kind of place high fashion magazines rent out for photo shoots or where extremely cool parties happen that only, like, Chloe Sevigny and Matthew Barney know about. But for tonight, it was hosting the Load/Dull Knife showcase, and it actually turned out to be the perfect place to experience the noise cyclone that is Indian Jewelry. Playing in a corner next to trippy film projections on an enormous wall, and with plenty of strobe light action, the Houston, Texas crew turned the place into a mini Warhol Factory. They bludgeoned eardrums and chest cavities with white-noise sheen over an oozing, thunderous rhythmic throb, and looked pretty damn cool doing it.

Why was "tantrum" trending last week?
folk dance of Chile, northern Argentina, and Peru. A courtship dance known since the period of Spanish colonization, it is danced to the rapid, rhythmic music of guitars. The dancing couple pursue and retreat, pass and circle about each other, twirling handkerchiefs as they dance. Chilean sailors took the dance to Mexico (where it is called chilena).

They were very helpful and friendly
Attentiveness of breakfast staff to keeping breakfast items stocked and cleanliness. Front desk staff was very responsive to our group's request to have our rooms near each other.
Friendly staff. Not a typical Best Western, feels a bit more sophisticated.
The staff was so sweet and attentive. They gave restaurant suggestions and told us all about the area.
Breakfast was very basic
Nice room with fridge...
A bit of mold on top of bathroom walls. Ac/heater control did not allow constant fan mode
People were friendly and made you feel welcome. Really enjoyed our stay.
I booked this hotel for my brother and he had nothing bu good things to say. The staff was friendly and professional, the breakfast was terrific and the room was really nice and clean. I couldn't pick him up until 4:30 and they changes his checkout to 1pm
Bed was comfortable no noise from the interstate very close to my business location.
I am still waiting for my Wake up call never happened glad my phone had a alarm.
It is in a good location, close to the interstate and restaurants.
It was not what I expected. It was extremely shabby and the room was too small. There was no fridge or microwave, amenities most hotels I have stayed at provide. There was no chair at the desk in but a staff person did find one and brought it to my room.
Facilities great. Staff welcoming and very helpful. Room nicely sized; kitchen well outfitted. Well stocked honor pantry made late night snacking easy. Warm cookies at reception desk a very nice touch!
No tub.
Very convenient to downtown, very clean and smelled marvelous, lots of amenities, nice people and over all very cool.
Nothing, it was great. First time ever at one and I hope the next one will be just as pleasant.
that it's not a hotel. that it has a wonderful rustic charm.
no I loved it.
!iike hot tube inpool
The room is to small forkids and. No towels in poo
The hot tube at the poo was nice
The room is small and no kouch bed
Some employees were very rude and the rooms though recently remodeled were pretty disgusting.
it was quiet, free coffee in room
bathroom was very small, bed felt like it was 30 years old, cable was almost un watchable it was so blurry and the internet was not working.
The pool did not work it ruined my daughter birthday that is the reason I booked the hotel
It was extremely dirty. I refused to use the bathroom. It was disgusting. I will never stay there again. I was supposed to stay two nights but only stayed one and went to another hotel. I told the front desk but they didn't seem to concerned.
Best...there was no best.
It was a filthy dump.
The location was on the edge of large shopping complex with easy access to restaurants, stores, and Planet Fitness.
The pool being opened late night
No. Everything was great
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

Mackie DLM Powered Loudspeaker Overview
In late August, Mackie unveiled their new line of powered loudspeakers, the DLM Series. The event was hosted in Seattle, WA and Unique Squared was there to capture the event on video. In the video, Matt Redman walks us through the features of the new line which include overviews of the DL2 Digital Mixer, their TruSource speaker technology, as well as the 2000 watt, energy efficient power source. With its compact size and portability, this is sure to make many mobile DJs and gigging musicians very happy. Check out the video and post a comment to let us know what you think about the Mackie DLM Series Powered Loudspeakers.
If you want to find out more information about the DLM Series, check out the blog we posted after the unveiling.
