Need advice on light fixture
mspiggyJanuary 30, 2013
I fell in love with the lotus flower chandelier but am now afraid it's too large. I live in a small cape cod house. The kitchen is 12' x 15' and my table is 45" in diameter. The picture is my fiancé holding the light to see what we think it would look like before we unwrap it and actually hang it. I love the light and can definitely see it hanging in a larger house that we hope to have one day but would love to be able to use it now. Any advice would be appreciated!
Can you use it in the master bedroom or somewhere else in the house where proportionally would work?
Jeffrey Brooks Interior Design
Rule of thumb= chandelier should be not more than 2/3rds of the table. Rules are made to be broken and in some cases it works but this is not one of them. If you like the shape you could use a smaller white paper lantern. It would not be a huge investment and you can store this one till you are ready for it.
I thought about the master bedroom but we use the ceiling fan a lot. I already have a small chandelier in the master bath. I'll keep thinking though!
http://www.potterybarn.com/products/capiz-petal-flower-pendant/?catalogId=42&bnrid=3380801&cm_ven=Google%20Base&cm_cat=Shopping&cm_pla=Feed&cm_ite=Google%20Base-3344827 I don't know for sure if this is a smaller version, and you may have to convert this to hardwire, just an idea though!
Yup, its too big. The chandelier can test that 2/3 rule if its a more open design but yours just isn't.
What is the lamp made of? maybe it can go on the back patio if able to be outside under an awning.
Here is a smaller type from Ikea that might work and it is only 25 dollars. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60071344/

Thank you all for your comments.
I've liked this painting since I painted it, but I've always been a bit angry with it. I think somewhere in the process of thwacking the canvas with a paint loaded palette knife the stretchers shifted. So for some time this was "that annoying parallelogram" painting. It restretched OK though, and is now a nice acceptable rectangle.I think living in a cold dark place makes me paint things that feel sunbaked.
like this….thankyou

Best Big Screen All-in-One PCs
Our top-rated all-in-ones from Apple, Gateway, Lenovo, and Sony offer sizzling performance, 20-inch or larger displays, and extras such as touch-screens, Blu-ray drives, and HDTVs
All-in-one PCs cost a little more than your traditional desktop or minitower system, but they take up less room and leave fewer cables and power cords strewn about. And though they typically aren't as expandable as traditional PCs, they can be loaded with features. Many have built-in Blu-ray drives and double as Media Center HDTVs. Some also provide multitouch displays, which let you use two fingers to pinch, push, rotate, and scroll items on screen.
We tested five stylish big-screen all-in-one PCs, and we liked them all. The two Apple iMacs ($2000 for Core i5 and $2200 for Core i7) were the fastest all-in-ones we've ever tested, and both models sport big and beautiful 27-inch screens. The Gateway One ZX6810-01 ($1400) is also a hot performer, and boasts a multi-touch display and HDTV tuner. The Lenovo IdeaCentre A600 ($1149) lacks touch-screen functionality, but sports a lush 21.5-inch display, Blu-ray, HDTV tuner, and superior upgradability at a nice price. The Sony Vaio L117FX/B is our top scorer, combining strong performance, Blu-ray, HDTV tuner, scads of ports, and a beautiful 24-inch multi-touch display.

Biotherapeutics, monoclonal antibodies, mAbs, in particular, represent a multi-billion dollar industry that continues to expand. In order to be used as a therapeutic agent the biomolecule must be rigorously characterized in order to ensure safety, efficacy, and potency. However, the size and complexity of mAbs makes this a challenging task. In work published in Analytical Chemistry, researchers in the Ramsey Group describe an integrated microfluidic capillary electrophoresis-electrospray ionization, CE-ESI, device for the separation of intact monoclonal antibody charge variants with online mass spectrometric, MS, identification.
Schematic for CE-ESI devices with a 23 cm separation channel with an enlarged image of the asymmetric turn tapering. Red channels indicate an APS coating while black channels indicate an APS-PEG450 coating. S: sample reservoir; B: background electrolyte reservoir; SW: sample waste reservoir; EO: electroosmotic pump reservoir.
The surface chemistry utilized in the device channels suppressed the electroosmotic flow and prevented analyte adsorption, eliminating the need for complex background electrolyte additives. The microfluidic ESI interface proved vital to the successful ionization and resulting MS analysis by maintaining fluid flow to generate stable ESI. The effectiveness of the technique was demonstrated with the determination of five charge variants in the separation of Infliximab with an additional two mAbs analyzed to show the general applicability of the approach.
Protein quinary interactions organize the cellular interior and its metabolism. Although the interactions stabilizing secondary, tertiary, and quaternary protein structure are well defined, details about the protein–matrix contacts that compose quinary structure remain elusive. This gap exists because proteins function in the crowded cellular environment, but are traditionally studied in simple buffered solutions.
Researchers in the Pielak Group use NMR-detected H/D exchange to quantify quinary interactions between the B1 domain of protein G and the cytosol of Escherichia coli. In their work, published in PNAS, the group demonstrates that a surface mutation in this protein is 10-fold more destabilizing in cells than in buffer, a surprising result that firmly establishes the significance of quinary interactions. Remarkably, the energy involved in these interactions can be as large as the energies that stabilize specific protein complexes. These results will drive the critical task of implementing quinary structure into models for understanding the proteome.
Parenteral and oral routes have been the traditional methods of administering cytotoxic agents to cancer patients. Unfortunately, the maximum potential effect of these cytotoxic agents has been limited because of systemic toxicity and poor tumor perfusion. In an attempt to improve the efficacy of cytotoxic agents while mitigating their side effects, researchers in the DeSimone Group, in a broadly collaborative work, have developed modalities for the localized iontophoretic delivery of cytotoxic agents. As described in Science Translational Medicine, these iontophoretic devices were designed to be implanted proximal to the tumor with external control of power and drug flow.
Device therapy Compared to a control (left), mice treated with a chemotherapy drug using the device experienced significant growth reduction as confirmed by the lack of brown staining for a marker of tumor growth.
"Surgery to remove a tumor currently provides the best chance to cure pancreatic cancer," said DeSimone, Chancellor's Eminent Professor of Chemistry here at UNC, and William R. Kenan, Jr. Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering at NC State University. "However, often a diagnosis comes too late for a patient to be eligible for surgery due to the tendency of the tumors to become intertwined with major organs and blood vessels." James Byrne, a member of the DeSimone Group, led the research by constructing the device and examining its ability to deliver chemotherapeutic drugs effectively to pancreatic cancer tumors, as well as two types of breast cancer tumors. Depending on the tumor type, the new device can be used either internally after a minimally invasive surgery to implant the device's electrodes directly on a tumor, or externally to deliver drugs through the skin. Overall, these devices have potential paradigm shifting implications for the treatment of pancreatic, breast, and other solid tumors.
Over the past decade, thermoplastics have been used as alternative substrates to glass and Si for microfluidic devices because of the diverse and robust fabrication protocols available for thermoplastics that can generate high production rates of the desired structures at low cost and with high replication fidelity, the extensive array of physiochemical properties they possess, and the simple surface activation strategies that can be employed to tune their surface chemistry appropriate for the intended application. While the advantages of polymer microfluidics are currently being realized, the evolution of thermoplastic-based nanofluidic devices is fraught with challenges. One challenge is assembly of the device, which consists of sealing a cover plate to the patterned fluidic substrate.
Typically, channel collapse or substrate dissolution occurs during assembly, making the device inoperable resulting in low process yield rates. Now, in an article published in Lab on a Chip as a "Hot Article," researchers in the Soper Group report a low temperature hybrid assembly approach for the generation of functional thermoplastic nanofluidic devices with high process yield rates, >90%, and with a short total assembly time of only sixteen minutes. The functionality of the assembled devices was demonstrated by studying the stretching and translocation dynamics of dsDNA in the enclosed thermoplastic nanofluidic channels.

Housing market rebounding?
The average price for a home has fallen in Oxford, just as housing prices have dropped in nearly every other community across the nation. Still, unlike many other communities in the U.S., local homes are continuing to be sold at a healthy pace. (November 8, 2010, Page 1A)
Retiring judge honored
The retirement party for the Honorable Circuit Court Judge Henry L. Lackey was suppose to be a "roast and toast" event. While many of the speeches made by about 16 people about the Calhoun County judge caused a few chuckles — and even a few tears, it was Lackey himself who invoked rounds of hearty laughter as he lovingly roasted them in return.
He announced his intent to retire at a Christmas party in 2009. His term will end Dec. 31. About 300 people attended Lackey's retirement party Thursday at the Oxford Conference Center. (November 5, 2010, Page 1A)

Bank robber still on the lam
The Oxford Police Department is still searching for the man who robbed the Mechanics Bank on University Avenue on Tuesday morning.
Police say a black male wearing a ski mask came into the bank at 11:37 a.m. and robbed a teller at gun point; however, no one was injured in the robbery.
Anyone with information of the case is asked to call OPD at 232-2400. (November 3, 2010, Page 1)
Judicial races decided
Judge Edwin H. Roberts didn't spend this morning lounging around enjoying the afterglow of winning the election last night.
He was up, bright and early, picking up his campaign signs.
Roberts won Tuesday's election and holds onto his chancery court judge seat for another four years. He took 75 percent of the votes in Lafayette County and 69 percent of the votes for all of District 18, which covers five counties. His opponent, Helen Kennedy Robinson, had 31 percent of the votes.
Also retaining his place on the bench was Circuit Court Judge Robert W. Elliott, who won with 57 percent of the vote. Chickasaw attorney John Gregory snagged the seat occupied by retiring Judge Henry Lackey of Calhoun County. He beat out attorneys Tom Levidiotis and Dave Rozier, both of Oxford, with 63 percent of the votes. Court of Appeals Judge Donna Barnes of Tupelo defeated challenger, attorney Kelly Mims, with 53 percent of the vote. (November 3, 2010, Page 1)

Hello from the last state in the union with no CCW
Hi from lame-o Illinois!
NRA has it in it's sights...
Don't worry, they are pushing and it will come around. Pretty much going to have to with the way things are headed.
Not enough Po-Po to go around, no money to pay for more and they are not about to turn the Military out in country to play Po-Po.
Sad things is that all the Thugs have them and honest people are left defenseless against them and they know it!
No sir, he fell into that bullet... Never argue with a stupid person. They'll just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience!!
I'm not holding my breath.
I'm not holding my breath. Not, at least, until they can take the entire portion of Cook County east of O'Hare (for those not familiar with the region - that's Chicago) and turn it into it's own shitty state.
They can call it 'Shittopia' and leave the rest of us normal people the hell alone.
Cook County
Hell, they could elect Obama and make him King!
mmm, maybe give it to Canada?
DTesch, You have a good night and be safe.

Welcome to the site. Are you an NRA member? If not, you should join. They have really done a great job protecting our rights. I know it seems like it will never happen, but it's a work in progress. They are making slow strides to restoring our lost right to keep and bear. Just look at DC v. Heller and Chicago v. McDonald.

Hey guys! After a few years of brewing I've decided that I'm tired of manually pouring the wort into my better bottles through a funnel that I can never seem to keep all the liquid in anyways, lol. I wanted to try to get some pros and cons feedback from you guys on the different methods/equipment used to make the transfer happen.
I'm looking at going with one of these two options:
1. Weld a stainless valve onto my boil kettle. If I use this method won't my ice bath contaminate the valve putting me at risk of infection? My immersion chiller is incapable of cooling the wort to below 80 without the aid of an ice bath. Will pellet hops clog the inside of the valve, I don't filter or boil bag my hops.
2. Use a autosiphon to transfer. The only issue I can see with this is maybe the pellet hops cloging the siphon during transfer. Also thats just one more thing that has to be sanitized, hopefully no bacteria survives on the inside of the siphon tubing.
Thanks for any info on which way will help my brew day go easier.
I use an auto-siphon because I got tired of lifting and pouring the boil kettle
Up next: beer
Fermenting: beer
Conditioning: and more beer
Total gallons in 2012: 10
I just pour the whole works into my fermenting bucket. I use a bag for my hops so all I really get into my fermenter is the coagulated proteins in the wort.
I use an autosiphon into a filtered funnel. Only problem being that since I don't have a wort chiller yet, I don't get a good enough cold break, so the filter gets clogged up during siphoning. However I use a nylon straining bag for my hop pellets during the boil so at least I don't have to deal with them.
Actually I chill with my immersion chiller and then rack with an autosiphon into my fermenter. I leave it all behind, hop gunk and break material. What I do is when I start siphoning I gently rest the bottom of the autosiphon on one of the coils of the IC above the gunk and rack until all the clear wort is gone and I can see the bottom, then I lower the as closer to the muck and try to get as much of the remaining wort as well, leaving everything else behind.
Don't forget to do w quick whirlpool a few minutes before you start the autosiphon, it will help pull most of the stuff to the center of the kettle.
If you start high in the kettle and rack the majority of the beer in first, you can actually see where you then set your autosiphon and avoid the rest of the hops. Though with whole hops, it's nearly impossible not to have a few try to block your flow. They are yummy packages of pure evil in that capacity.
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman
I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
I use to pour from the kettle. I've had a pot with a valve, but never used it. I finally broke down and bought tubing to transfer from the valve.
Ontap: Hard Cider
Primary: IIPA, All-Tythos IPA
On Deck: Munich Dunkel, Classic Rauch, Breakfast Porter, American Stout
I pour through a sanitized metal strainer which gets clogged from the hops quite a bit.
I siphon through a counter flow chiller.
A copper scrubbing pad keeps the hops out.
BTW an autosiphon should not be used for hot wort (DAMHIKT),
use a copper or stainless racking cane.

Natural-looking foliage
This is a lovely pothos plant. I cannot grow the real plant because I have a cat that likes to chew the leaves, and it would be poisonous for her. As a substitute for a live plant, this is just fine. My only complaint is that one leg had come off; I glued it back on and it seems to be fine. It sits level and is good to look at from all angles.Read More
nice quality
I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the plant. I was looking for very lifelike plants and found several at Overstock.com It pays to pay!Read More

Questions & Answers
Hello mariannette, we appreciate your inquiry. I would have to say that for a silk plant it looks pretty realistic. If you were to touch the leaves and get really close, you will notice that it is not real. However, for being artificial, it is pretty close to the real thing. Yes, the item is made of polyester, but it described as a silk plant . That is what most artificial plants are referred to, regardless of the material. We hope this information has been helpful. Thank you for shopping with us. Have a great day!

Best Sunroom Furnishing Ideas
Sunrooms are often some of the most popular areas of any home. Large windows and garden views make sunrooms feel like outdoor retreats while still providing the cover and warmth of indoor rooms. Because sunrooms are connected more to the outdoors than any other room in your home, pick design elements and furniture that work with that theme. Below, you'll find some of the best sunroom furnishing ideas. Seating: One of the most important parts of a sunroom is the seating arrangement. Since you'll likely want to spend many warm nights and bright days in your sunroom, you'll need adequate seating. Sunrooms typically feature either wood furniture or wrought iron seating. When deciding what's right for you, consider the overall look of the room as well as the intended comfort level. Wooden furniture with thick cushions is warmer and more comfortable than metal. A wicker sectional sofa with comfortable cushions will work well with the design of a sunroom. Alternatively, wrought iron benches and chairs give a modern look and feel to a room. Mismatched plush armchairs are a great way to bring both comfort and casual elegance to a sunroom. Tables: When picking out tables for your sunroom, consider how you're going to use the area. Choose a low table that can act as a coffee table for guests to set down their drinks. Tables with glass inserts match sunrooms well because of surrounding glass windows. Sunrooms are a popular place to go during parties and family get-togethers, so consider adding a small dining table and chairs to the room for meals. Design elements: Although sunrooms are indoors, they tie in the nature and wonder of the outdoors. Choose design elements that bring both sun and nature into the room. Wicker planters can hold plants of your choice. Place planters on side tables and on the floor next to entrances to give an inviting impression as guests enter the room. Artwork can change a bland sunroom into something charming and interesting. Look for paintings and sculptures that incorporate colors and themes from the surrounding decor.

4 Ways to Celebrate Arbor Day
The first Arbor Day took place in Nebraska City, Nebraska, on April 10, 1872. It is estimated that one million trees were planted that day. The idea of a holiday celebrating trees took hold; by the 1920s, every state in the US had passed a law stipulating that Arbor Day be observed on the last Friday in April. In Nebraska, it's observed as a civic holiday. Planting a tree is the most customary way to observe Arbor Day, but there are other ways to celebrate, too.

tv or couch quilt size
I had this but lost it so can someone tell me the size. I can't even find the post
I would make it whatever size fits your sofa. Big enough for an adult to nap under without feet, knees or backside sticking out! In our house, that's 6 feet long and at least 3 1/2 feet wide. That size also works great as a lap quilt for 2 adults sitting side by side on the sofa.
This is our current favorite napping quilt. The blocks are 12x12 and the sashing is 2" so its 72"x44".
Hope that helps!
Thanks ladies,I worked on the quilt this afternoon and added a few more blocks. I landed up with42 wide 54long and haven't decided if I will put a border on or just bind it. I wanted to take it with me when i go to her house for Xmas but I may not make it. I may have to give it to her for there anniversary Jan 3.
Yes, it's minky. Soft, yummy minky. I'm a minky addict and not ashamed to admit it!
The purple quilt was made for a friend who requested something she could tuck her feet into so before I did the binding I attached a lined piece at the bottom on the back of the quilt to make a 15" deep foot pocket. I'm really sorry I didn't use minky for that but at the time I didn't think of it.

Washingtonia Robusta (might not make it)
Back in around June or so I was in Valencia, CA at a gas station on the way back to Carson City, Nevada (where I currently live) Anyways while we were at the gas station, there was this dirt lot with a good sized Washingtonia Robusta (Mexican Fan Palm) about 3-4ft with it's fronds. Anyways it was stuck in the dirty pretty hard so I just dug down as far as I could until there were roots and cut it out of the ground with a KBAR. Put it in a McDonalds cup filled with the same dirt that I dug it out of, and drove it back to Carson City, where I put it in a small pot with some Northern Nevada Desert dirt lol. Anways when I brought it back I cut all the fronds off, accept for the heart of course, and over the course of 6 months it has two new beautiful fronds and a third one coming out of the middle. So the reason I'm posting this is because I let my friend take care of it for a few months, and when I wanted it back, she threw a huge fit, and threw the potted palm tree on the cement where the root ball got exposed. However I put the root back in the soil as fast as I could so it was not exposed for to long. After I put what soil I could collect from the mess she caused, I went home and put some more in it. I now have a small layer of bark on the top of the soil, figured it'd be good for drainage. Also wanted to say I just transplanted this palm from a smaller planter to another planter two days before she threw it. I have it in the direct sun light right now and the Temp outside is currently 53F it will be 66F this afternoon, and by sun down I'll bring it inside. out elevation is 4650 ft and humidity is 37% do you think my palm will make it through? From what I've noticed. It seems to be a hardy little guy. I'll post some better pictures as soon as possible.
One last question. Since I just had to basically repot it again, how often should I water it? Because the first time I put it in a pot I watered it everyday for a week. then after that I only watered it about 3-4 times a month.
Thank you for reading!! (:
p.s. The fronds on the pic just look yellowish because of the lighting. I'll post better pics soon
Washy roots die back to the trunk when damaged.
Do not leave it out in the cooler weather,the sun
may be good for it but the roots need constant warmth to recover...
they also do not do well inside so,nurse it through until spring/summer
warmth and don't over water it,water well (if it drains well)and then let it dry out.
I have been leaving it inside since October when it started getting cooler. Also I must say my palm is doing quite nice in doors, it looks healthier than it did when i pulled it out of the ground in california lol. and the a new frond has been growing quite rapidly ever since i got it in the new planter. As for the watering, I water it once the soil gets dry, by spraying the soil/bark mixture and the fronds with a small water mister with room temp water, every few days, and it is looking blush and green and doing well! I will have a camera soon and will post some more pictures once a some new fronds pops out.
Also, is spraying the fronds bad for this palm? I don't over do it, just a couple sprays per frond every few days. Doesn't seem to be hurting it.
This post was edited by carsoncitypalms on Sun, Nov 17, 13 at 11:49
Oh and I also have seen around to keep it on the South East part of your house, where it gets sun. So that is what it has defiantly gotten a bit bigger in the past two weeks. I want to get some Trachycarpus palms, there are quite a few that I like. Also some Banana's would be nice too. My only problem is I gotta goto the Sacramento area to get palms, it's the closets place that has them.
So I just realized a couple of days ago that my Palm trunk was burried about 1in 1/2 under the dirt. The tips were starting to brown, and the new frond emerging was turning yellow/brown. It's only been two days so I don't know if the green will start coming back. But I'm sure hoping so. I know that couldn't have been good for my palm, and I'm sure the new frond probably would have come out by now if the trunk hadn't been burried.
Sorry the pics aren't very good quality I had to use a webcam.
It's growing extremely slow. Checked for root root, it does not have that. I'm thinking that it is growing slow because it is indoors? I keep lamp on it for most hours of the night, and put it in the window in the south-east part of the house first thing in the morning.
The reason that I am concerned, is because I cut one of those fronds off very low. I'm hoping that this does not effect the plant.
My questions are;
My sister lives in Palm Springs, CA and she said that I should not use soil. However, I came across some soil, should I use it, or should I listen to her? The main question is, Is this palm even still alive? Fronds were cut within the past week.
Comments: The reason that I am concerned is because at the base of the new frond, it's pretty white/tinted yellow an extremely light green, it looks like it is turning darker green but I guess only time can tell.

Alzheimer's & acting out
I got a call last night from Dad's facility that he hit another resident. DH & I were grocery shopping only a few minutes away & went right over. The young lady on staff explained that she heard Dad calling for help & went to his room. She said the other resident was on his hands & knees & his nose was bleeding. She asked what happened & Dad said he hit him. They got the guy up & checked him over & of course by that time Dad had forgotten what happened. The other resident is nonverbal and of course neither of them would be reliable anyway, so we'll never know what actually happened. She said they sent the guy out for eval as standard procedure but he seemed okay. The staff thinks the maybe the guy wandered into Dad's room and scared him. They were very surprised and said they would never have thought from Dad's normal behavior that he would hit someone. I'm still in shock. I was so shocked when she called that I started crying in the grocery store. It is not at all like Dad. He's normally so controlled. He's also been saying mean things to the other residents lately, which isn't like him either. I'll be talking to the doctor about the possibility of meds to relieve anxiety. I don't know what else to do. I want to try to make sure this doesn't happen again.
My husband was a fighter regarding the staff, but only when they tried to change his clothes. I talked to the person who admitted him and he said not to worry about it, he doesn't know what they are doing to him and he is only defending himself . BUT, it leads to being removed from the facility. He was in 3 care homes in 9 months and was going to be moved to a mental facility because they said it takes to much time to care for him. In my state they cannot put him out, so like all laws there are loop holes. In this case all they have to do is put him in the hospital and not acdept him back.
My mother who also had alzheimers and was in and out of various places,was also a non violent person. Very mild mannered and you would never expect her to be violent. But something would trigger her outbursts. She could clear a table in seconds and take on people who would look like someone from her past. One woman(staff member)was smacked by mom because she reminded mom of my dad's new wife. Mom did not remember hitting her or clearing the table but it drove my sister crazy because this was not our mom. She was also taken to a local hospital to be evaluated. Finally put in a nursing home where she had a non verbal resident as a roommate.
Sadly mom passed away about 6 months later.
My husband passed away at 80, but it was his time and he went fast. At that age and with that disease I look on it as a blessing for both the patient and the family. It is a rough way for a responsible adult to end his life, turning into a stranger right before our eyes and we can do nothing to help.

Burial Collaborates With Garage/Dubstep Pioneer El-B
By Ryan Dombal on January 7, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. EST
According to FACT magazine, influential UK garage pioneer El-B is set to collaborate with dubstep godhead Burial.
Their pairing will appear on an upcoming compilation called Nu-Levels due out on Ghost in April. (In a 2007 interview with The Wire, Burial cited El-B as one of his favorites growing up.)
Nu-Levels also features exclusive tracks from Zed Bias, Narrows, MRK-1, Luke Envoy, Heny-G, J da Flex and new acts Yoof, Karmine, Opus.
Pavement Compilation Revealed
By Ryan Dombal on January 5, 2010 at 10:55 a.m. EST
Philosophical query: If a band reunites and they don't release a greatest hits-type compilation (or a new album) to celebrate, does the reunion really exist? Think about it. And then think about Pavement's forthcoming 23-track greatest hits-type compilation, Quarantine the Past: The Best of Pavement, out on double-LP and CD March 9 via Matador in the U.S. (March 8 via Domino in the UK.) (Pre-order here.) The label is also re-releasing the entire Pavement Matador catalog on low-priced vinyl the same day.
In a blog post, Matador says that while Quarantine "does not include any unreleased material, it definitely digs deeper than the hits." The label is unveiling the song selection through the appropriately titled Guess the Track Listing Contest, with prizes including a VIP trip to NYC for one of Pavement's upcoming Central Park reunion gigs. More info on the contest can be found here.
We do know the first track will be Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain's "Gold Soundz", which you can hear after the jump. Matador also mentions that they will complete the Pavement deluxe reissue series with Terror Twilight next fall.
if you're still waiting for Pavement to book a show close to you (and you live in America), sit tight-- they're promising more U.S. dates soon. In the meantime, check out their current 2010 world tour schedule below:

Neutral Milk Hotel's Jeff Mangum Returns With Chris Knox Cover
By Tom Breihan on December 8, 2009 at 2:15 p.m. EST
Reclusive Neutral Milk Hotel leader Jeff Mangum hasn't released any new music in forever, so any news of a new Mangum track is a big deal. In July, we reported that Mangum would show up on Stroke: Songs for Chris Knox, a tribute album dedicated to New Zealand indie forefather and stroke survivor Chris Knox. But when the tracklist for the New Zealand release of Stroke: Songs for Chris Knox came out last month, Mangum wasn't on it.
Well, good news: Mangum is on the U.S. version of the album, which is out now digitally via Merge. (Physical copies are due February 23.)Â Mangum covers "Sign the Dotted Line", a song by Knox's band Tall Dwarfs.
The album also features folks like Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Yo La Tengo, the Mountain Goats, Stephin Merritt, Bill Callahan, A.C. Newman, Jay Reatard, and many of Knox's New Zealand contemporaries. You can hear samples of many of the tracks from Stroke, along with their originals, over on Chris Knox's website. The Mangum track isn't on there, though. To hear a sample of that one, head to the Merge digital store.
Check below for the revamped tracklist.

Flying Lotus, Skream, Daedelus on Art/Music Compilation
By Tom Breihan on November 19, 2009 at 11:50 a.m. EST
It's hard to keep track of all the stoned, sputtering beat-driven electronic music coming out these days. It's partly because most of it doesn't fit under anyone particular genre designation (the word "dubstep" only begins to describe a lot of this stuff) and partly because the people making this music come from all over the world.
Bleep.com's new music and art compilation North/South/East/West, out December 1, offers a series of snapshots (literally and musically) of four regional scenes at the forefront of the current avalanche of blunted beat music.
