yellowing leaves
The lower leaves on my basil are turning yellow - almost white, actually - and going brown on the edges. Eventually, they drop off. I converted this basil plant from potting soil about a month and a half ago. I kept it out of direct sunlight, with a clear bag over it, with no fertilizer for about 3 and a half weeks. It lost a bunch of its lower leaves in the process and then stabilized. Now that I've moved it outside, it's going yellow again. It also doesn't seem to be growing.
I can't figure out if I should stop giving it fertilizer or start giving it more. I've only been giving it 1/4 - 1/2 strength hydroponic nutrient solution.
I've got no experience with basil. Never grew it. But I checked with some friends and consulted some sites on the internet:
All I can find is that basil is susceptible to aphids. It is also reported that basil likes LOTS of water and can take full sunshine. Unfortunately, there is nothing that descibes your problem specifically to basil,
So - I suppose - the answer has to be that your basil plant's rootsystems are either underdevelopped or that the plants can't get enough moisture.
My suggestion is that you should - first of all - ensure that the roots always touch the top of the nutrient solution by about ¼ inch, and - secondly - keep the plants indoor and feed it full strength nutrients untill the plants starts to grow normally. Then, start moving the plants outside.
I shall move the plant back into the shade until it starts to grow. Maybe it does need to grow more roots. The bottle of nutrient solution says to apply it once every 7-10 days, but my reservoir (OK, it's a deep saucer) only lasts about 3 days. Would it hurt to keep topping it up with more full-strength nutrient solution?
What is your system for this basil? What type of media? What type of nutrient?
I kinda sounded like it is a flower pot on a deep saucer with some form of soil-less media in the flower pot supporting your basil plant. If this is the case your plant could be suffering from a few different things.
1-It might not be able to reach the nutrient very well and is drying out. This probably isn't the case since you say it is only the lower leaves showing problem.
2-Too much water could be evaporating leaving the nurtient too strong and burning the plant roots.
3-If the nutrient is plenty deep enough that much of the roots are submerged the problem could be more to do with lack of aeration of the nutrient solution.
4-salt build up in the media could be a problem.
5-The bottle of nutrient, is it specifically for hydroponics? If not, you plant may be suffering from a nitrogen deficiency because the nitrogen source in most fertilizers requires soil microbes to turn the urea or amonia based nitrogen into nitrate nitrogen for the plants to use.
Some simple things you can try and see if they help include,
use some plain water to flush out any excess salts that might have built up. Decrease the strength of the nutrient and see if the plant perks up if not, you can try increasing the strength but be careful not to burn your plant. Basil is kinda a light feeder in hydroponics so full strength nutrient is probably not necessary. First you might want to make sure that your nutrient solution is actually hydroponic nutrient and not something like Miracle Grow. (Miracle Grow and the like can be made to work for Hydroponics but you have to add something like calcium nitrate to it or your plants may have problems with nitrogen deficiency. One of the signs of such a deficiency is yellowing older leaves though there are several situations that can cause that, not just a lack of usable nitrogen.
Good luck. It is good to hear about your cuttings doing well.
Thanks for your reply! Let's see. It is in a 5 inch regular flowerpot in a saucer that's about 1/2 inch deep. It's growing in small expanded clay pellets (approx 1/4 inch diameter), that were advertised as orchid growing medium. The nutrient solution I use does say it's for hydroponics.
I don't think it's number 1 because the plant never goes limp. It seems to be drawing up enough moisture.
It could be 2 or 4. The nutrient evaporate quickly and is usually gone within 2 or 3 days. Even if I put it in at 1/2 or 1/4 strength, it might end up too strong towards the end. I've already tried flushing it a couple of times, but it didn't seem to help. I may be able to remedy this by getting a bucket to serve the outer pot/reservoir, which would reduce evaporation.
It could be 3. How can I improve aeration? Should I switch it to a larger size clay pellet which would leave more space for air between them? Drill holes in the sides of the pot? It could also be that the pot's too small, but I thought that was less of a problem in hydroponics.
It is actually kind of a myth that plants in hydroponics don't need as much space as plants not in hydroponics. The plants my not need to extend their roots in search of what they need but the roots still need space.
I would keep the solution weak or you can simply add plain water between nutrient feedings which will help dilute the solution back down if you feed stronger solution. A deeper bowl or bucket will probably help.
As to the aeration, it isn't about the size of the clay pellets. It is more to do with the stagnant solution that the plant is sitting in. Some plants do better than others in such a situation. Most larger hydroponic systems have some sort of bubblers or pumps that aerate or circulate the nutrient solution which keeps it from getting stagnant. For your set up simply stirring or blowing bubbles with a straw into the solution once a day might make a difference. This is assuming you don't want to get an aquarium air pump and air stone to keep in the dish your plant pot is sitting in.
Is the plant looking really bad or is it just loosing a few lower leaves? I've had basil plants get rather large (out in a 3 gallon pot or even in soil) and looking pretty healty but I think they lost older/lower leaves too. We got one basil out there that looks a bit more like a bush than a herb but we let that go to seed and it probably won't survive much longer as I think it has been going for about a year now.
I've moved it to a large pot, and I'll try blowing bubbles into the solution every day. Thanks for the tip. It does look pretty bad - it's already lost all the leaves on the bottom half, and they're still getting pale. Any more and it'll look like a palm tree. I'm giving it half strength solution, and I'll top it up with water when it starts to get low.
check the ph in the water your using make sure its between 5 and 6.5 also make suere the plant is getting enough light also the roots should be completly dark if you've already flushed the system with clean water(no solution)then make sure the roots aren't sitting in stagnent water try using a wick from the solution to the roots check for bugs and if indoors make sure humidity isn't too high

Weed or keeper?
Found this while weeding...not sure what it is. ANYONE? Thanks in advance. Upstate SC
rub your hand across it.. any fragrance???
it looks .. from this pic.. like an herb [thyme?].. or a moss rose .. portulaca [though kinda early to be that size .. in MI anyway ]
opps.. i am in the name that plant forum.. someone will tell you what it is.. lol
Hmmm...no fragrance...does not look like pinweed, the leaves appear to be fleshy but on the limp side if that makes sense. I did have a portulaca last year in a different bed and I just looked at the pix of it, and the leaves look the same except plumper. Maybe they will plump out as the weather warms? Guess I will leave it be for a while and see what happens. No other plant ANYWHERE near that looks like it, so thats why I think not weed.
I call Delosperma "Iceplant" and yes, I have some of that in the yard, too, but all their leaves are plump....To me it looks more like the portulaca than the iceplant, but I guess time will tell. I will go try to get a closer up of the plant

Hi all. Getting married Sept 18 in Newport RI. The ceremony is outside in the backyard of my Fiances parents house. 1 slight problem--Skunks!! Nearly every night they are spraying in the backyard, and what a stink!! Any solutions on how get rid of these skunks!! Not exactly sure on the # of skunks!! Any help would be great!! Thanks. Scott
Not sure if this would work for skunks but it might be worth a try. We live in Florida and have a lot of plants around our home. In order to keep snakes and other critters from around our house, we put moth balls around the plants and all around the house, in our shrubs, under the house, in the utility room and even in our golf bags. It works great for this purpose. They are inexpensive and last quite a while. I usually use about four boxes each time I put them out and they last several weeks, even with our daily rain showers. I guess it would depend on the size of the yard how many boxes you would need. You might try them now to see if they work and then put more out a couple of days ahead of the wedding. Since they are outside, they really don't smell that much and I'm sure they would be much more plesant that the Skunk odor! LOL Would love to know if they work for you. My Dh was 20 years Airforce. If you like check out the Groom's cake and table that I did for him at our reception.
Here is a link that might be useful: Drew and Sherrie Lynns
Call a pest control company or buy a large Have-A-Heart trap. Wrap the trap in a heavy blanket, leaving the door open so it resembles a cage and positioning the cage so you can see (from a distance) whether the door has been snapped shut.
We caught our skunks with fresh cut apples. When the door is shut, wrap the blanket around the whole cage and let them loose miles and miles and miles away from your home. When all your skunks are gone, throw the blanket away.
Skunks usually won't spray if they can't see. That's why you cover the cage.
Just a FYI for ya. If your dog should ever get sprayed. Use black coffee (cooled of course) on him to get rid of the smell. Just good ole supermarket coffee, brewed. Let it cool poor it on the animal work it in a bit rinse. Bath if you like, and no more smell. Works a LOT better than tomato juice.
My fil had a skunk spray underneath his trailer. The smell was HORRENDOUS!!! I suggested he spray the coffee under the trailer. He used one of those little sprayers they use for gardening. The smell disappeared. It's amazing.
Maybe you could have a skunk theme. I see a black and white color combo, maybe Pepe La Pew - now before I get flamed again - just kidding!
My question is why do you want to get married in a location that has such a problem? Even if you go to all the bother you will have to, to get rid of the skunks, you will never know until the actual wedding if you got them all- who wants that kind of uncertainty hanging over their heads? And if you missed one- well, that's all people will remember about your wedding.
And here's another thought- from the skunk's point of view - Your wedding will take a small part of one day or evening, but the home of these animals will be disturbed forever. Their family group will be killed or dispersed so humans can do something that could easily be done in a better location for all concerned. Have a heart, they'd do it for you.
Well the wedding was last weekend in beautiful Newport RI. The wedding took place outside my wifes parents property that faces the water!! At one time it was owned by her grandparents so it has much sentimental meaning, thus we had the wedding there!! I will leave the story at that!! But one can only take the smell in ones yard EVERY morning!! Cheers

Here is just a sample of our programs. The JADMC schedule of activities is extremely hectic but very rewarding.
The late Dr. Datu will be recognized in a ceremony on the eve of the Fiesta of Bacolor on November 16, 2012, hosted by the mayor and other dignitaries of the municipality.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
Dear Friends,
The JADMC has been very active and very busy. To name just a few programs:
We are currently revising the electrical wiring so we can resume our cataract surgeries without equipment failure.This is where your donations will go in the foreseeable future. We hope you can help.
Great News! The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office has approved us for a 3M Philippine Peso grant. The required output needed is 300 cataract surgeries, 200 pterygium surgeries, 133 prosthetics, and 200 harelip and cleft palate surgeries. The first release of the funds is in April. We are doing as much as we can as the P3M is not enough to pay for all the expenses. We still rely on donations.
We are busy soliciting funds for the P1M that we need for the electrical work (P250,000 breakers, P387,000 electrical distribution, P363,000 transformers). Not to mention the costs of repairing the donated hospital equipment.
Please help us achieve our goals!
January has been a busy month. Dr. Eric Lohse and his wife Vicki (an RN) came to the JADMC from Illinois. Together with our staff they completed 61 cataract surgeries and 39 pterygium surgeries. Due to the lack of surgical microscopes they worked until 3 am each night to accomplish this goal. We have three and one of them broke down...in fact, the ideal number to support such high demand would be six operating microscopes. We are trying to raise funds to purchase gently used ones. We are learning more about the equipment that we have and are definitely getting there. Through Physicians for Peace, equipment donated by the Love for Life Foundation will hopefully arrive this month so we can use them for the next mission. We are now planning another Cataract Mission for February 21-24. We hope that with your help we can complete our needed supplies to help those in need SEE clearly!
We are happy to report that the Jesus A. Datu Medical Center (JADMC) is growing exponentially!
October marked the groundbreaking of the Ear, Nose, and Throat Center. This will be located in a new building behind the JADMC, offering harelip, cleft palate, and microsurgeries of the ear. It also marked the inauguration of the Ambulatory Surgical Center for Cataract Surgery.
The Prosthetic Lab churns out 15-20 prosthetics per month. Next to the lab is a Rehabilitation Center overseen by Arellano University to help the recipients become accustomed to their prosthetic.
We are the lucky recipients of significant medical equipment donations. Our deepest gratitude to Drs. Jess Yap, Gino Ang, and Winston Magno of the Connecticut Association of Philippine Physicians for their donation of two anesthesia machines, and to Dr. Conrad Zapanta for his donation of a surgical microscope. Physicians For Peace in Virginia has been kind enough to ship these large pieces from the U.S. to the JADMC.
Our other programs are going strong:
We continue to rely on donations and service organizations to keep us going. We are actively working on obtaining PHILHEALTH licensure for long-term sustainability.
Thank you for your ongoing support!

In the choppy wake of regulatory changes, subtle changes in how, where and why salvors do business, high profile salvage assignments and still more lurking on the horizon, the American salvage community has a lot to say. This month, MarineNews brought together three industry heavyweights to find out what was on their minds. Collectively, they combine to recalibrate the perception of what a salvor should be, where the industry will evolve, and why.
Tim Beaver on the Role of the Salvor
The role of the marine salvor is to respond to a casualty – whether a fire, grounding, sinking, structural failure or even the threat of any of these disasters – and to provide speedy and effective solutions. Marine casualty response, commonly called Salvage, is an interesting but little understood world. It is a world of pumps and rigging, divers and engineers, tugs and derricks, fast response and hard contracts. To call a salvage company is to gain access to an amazing assortment of services. These services often are part and parcel of other marine disciplines such as marine construction, towing, diving and naval architecture to name a few. The role of these experienced and multifaceted companies and individuals is to minimize financial and environmental damages, by bringing fast and safe solutions to complex and unusual problems, understanding the ultimate goals of the client to first save lives, second save the environment and third save property.
The American Salvage Association (ASA) has for over 12 years continuously promoted professionalism and ethical business practices among salvors as well as a greater understanding of what the salvage community provides to the critical maritime industry. In doing this, our organization has brought together the best salvors in North America with a firm commitment to our stated mission and goals. These include reaching out to the maritime community of regulators, insurers and maritime professionals with conferences, educational programs and publications such as "Soundings." The role of the ASA is to ensure open communication and cooperation with regulatory authorities that results in prompt, effective response, meeting regularly with various federal and state agencies to exchange views on the improvement of salvage and firefighting response in North America.
We at the American Salvage Association are proud of our role as salvage operators providing salvage and marine casualty response to North America, as well as to the world. Member companies are currently involved in a multitude of projects both domestically and abroad. It is important to understand the role of the ASA as well as of the salvage operator. One calls a salvor when in need of fast, professional, effective services. Customers are entitled to the kind of response described above. We at the ASA promote this in our membership and recommend and encourage operators to get to know their salvage resources in advance of that midnight call for help. Our members stand ready to 'keep the oil in the ship' and to resolve your emergency with skill and professionalism you can rely upon both in North America and abroad.
Paul Hankins on the Benefit of the OPA 90 Tank Vessel SMFF Regulations
With just a couple years since the implementation of the USCG OPA 90 Tank Vessel Salvage and Marine Firefighting (SMFF) regulations, it may be premature to declare complete success. I'd argue that it takes several Vessel Response Plan planning cycles, along with practice and exercises, to come to a full appreciation of what the regulations have accomplished. But in my view, I think it's safe to say that they have helped achieve their primary objective – making our waterways safer. Among the many important advances that have been achieved by the SMFF regulations, two in particular stand out.
All told, the regulations have facilitated a better prepared salvage resource and a quicker notification timeline when trouble unfortunately strikes. The salvage industry looks forward to new developments as the process matures and strengthens.
Mauricio Garrido on Salvors – The Next Generation
It is an unfortunate but accurate assumption that marine casualties will continue to occur. For this reason, one could surmise that a ready-to-respond professional salvage capability should be a priority for property owners and underwriters as well as an expectation of the public in general. Such capability, however, can only be supported by putting it to work and ensuring that adequate compensation under fair terms is given the service provider not only to allow for reinvestment in equipment, but more importantly, in people.
Unfortunately, underwriters, the financial end-users of our services, tend to focus on the immediate quarterly bottom line of premium collected versus claims paid. This chronic tendency often leads to an underestimation of the job at hand and the hiring of alternative "cheaper" options which in the long run could result in a degradation of the professional salvage capability.
The challenges faced by U.S.-based salvors are not just limited to client misperception, aggressive competition, and lack of work. Those passionate enough to stay in the industry must learn to accept the incongruent model of operating a business which demands speculative investment in the hopes of a job which cannot be forecasted.
It is interesting to note that while global unemployment has recently escalated to alarming levels, the salvage industry has been able to maintain its strength levels. So while retention within the industry may not be a problem, recruitment of new young talent may indeed prove to be the real challenge facing U.S.-based salvors as they strive to formulate long term self-preservation. The ideal Salvage Master must be a generalist with an adaptable mindset that allows for constant specialized out-of-the-box thinking. On the job training is a must and the individual must be prepared to live aboard a virtual rollercoaster with an ever changing route where family life will sometimes necessarily take a back seat. The salvage industry as a whole must focus on a long term strategy to create a steady supply of young personnel. Such strategy must be comprehensive enough to entice future professionals to "try it out" and determine if they enjoy the adrenaline rush and long days surrounding a casualty.
A recruitment strategy to support the sustainability of our beloved industry is likely to fail if it is not based upon a campaign to increase the visibility of our industry at the household level. It is time to let America's mainstream learn about all the good things salvors bring to life in order to attract those who aspire to be professional maritime problem solvers.

It was not without error, however was outstanding both in room and staff.
The only thing in the morning the guest regular coffee in the lobby was empty several times and not refilled. I could live with that, with it being the only problem.
It is cheap deal, but from what I just experienced, I should get my refund back.
Everything. The staff was not deaf-friendly. He gave me attitudes when I asked for a change of room due to heat difficulty. The breakfast was very old and cold. Orange juice tastes so watery.
The staff was friendly and helpful and there was free wifi. The location was also convenient to the Trenton airport.
Could have been cleaner-- there was mildew in the shower and the room had a sort of a stale smokey smell, even though it was supposed to be a non-smoking room. Overall it wasn't terrible, but wasn't great either.

Just a quick note tho thank everyone who came up to the Observatory on Friday 20th March to view the partial solar eclipse.
Check out the website for news of upcoming events in the near - and not so near - future.
New to astronomy? The Society holds 2 beginners courses during the winter months usually Oct/Nov and Feb/March.
Course places are limited to 20 per course.
See below for more information.
We are now running some additional 'social' meetings on the first and third Tuesday of each month.
The meetings are open to members and non-members and the aim is to provide an informal environment with no set agenda, in which people can meet up in the club room and chat about current astronomical events, astronomy in general or maybe turn up to :
During the remaining 8 months of 2015, there will be a number of interesting Planetary events.
These include:
1) Planetary conjunctions - there are a number in 2015
2) Total Lunar Eclipse - there will be one in 2015 that will be visible from Huddersfield. This will take place on the 28th September 2015 and will be total at around 0207hrs.
Details can be found here..... http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/LEplot/LEplot2001/LE2015Sep28T.pdf
3) Conjunctions of the brighter Planets with the Moon - there are a number in 2015.
Attached to this story are some star-charts to show you what will be on view if the sky is clear.
On Friday 3rd April the Astronomy Society will be planing to host another 'Star Party' near the Holme Moss Transmitter Station.
If the sky is clear members of the Astronomy Society will be taking a variety of telescopes to Holme Moss Transmitter Station Public car park.
If the sun is clearly visible then we will have some solar telescopes - similar to those at the Observatory for the Partial Solar Eclipse of the 20th March - to view the Sun from around 6pm until just before sunset [at 1945].
Once the sky gets dark enough then we will switch our attention to the Moon, Venus and Jupiter which will be in the sky in the evening.
We plan to stay for a few hours after darkness provided the sky is still clear.
New Horizons, the NASA/ESA probe to the dwarf Planet Pluto is shortly to begin the final stages of its journey leading up and encounter with the 'ninth Planet' Pluto.
Since being launched in January 2006 and following its gravity assist/encounter with Jupiter in February 2007, it has been cruising towards Pluto.
The provisional timeline is as follows:
July 14 2014 - first long range images of Pluto and Charon
February 2015 - first images of the Pluto/Charon system able to discern small details
May 2015 - image quality from New Horizon's cameras to be better than from the Hubble Space Telescope
Comet C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy is another one in the bag for Australian amateur astronomer Terry Lovejoy.
During February the Comet will still be in our skies but is now fading - though it has thrown a few 'curve balls' during January with tail disconnection events and more.
The Comet could still be visible in binoculars.
If there are any clear nights during this Month's [Monday 16th to Saturdaqy 21st February 2015] Open Week then why not come to the Observatory and maybe get a glance at this beautiful comet.
Check out this website for a stunning image ..... http://www.spaceweather.com/
Attached is a star chart to help you locate the Comet over the next 4 weeks whilst it is still moderately bright
Ever wondered about doing a simple observing program.
This one is about as simple as it gets - observe one star each night - for every night for a whole year.
About 150 years ago this was the aim of a local amateur astronomer and he published a guidebook to help other observers undertake the observing plan.
Now the guidebook is being re-released by a local publisher.
For more details check out this blog....
The Autumn and Winter of 2014-15 promise the potential for some good shooting star observing.
The first major shower of the Autumn are the Draconids - these are active around the 10th October. They are the left-overs from a well known comet Goacobini-Zinner and on occasion they can have quite a good showing.
The Moon will be nearly full so it will be a challenge to see this shower in 2014.
Next comes the Orionids - these are active from 16th to 27th October with a peak on the 20th/21st. There will be a nearly new Moon on this night so get ready for some hours spent tracking these down. Orion rises at around 11pm so you need to stay up late or get up very early to see this shower as they are best viewed after midnight.
This image was taken at around midnight local time on Saturday 23rd August, from a campsite at Adderstone Field during Scarborough & Ryedale Astronomical Society's annual StarFest.
The image is of the Summer Milky Way - Our galaxy - actually only a major part of it, and was taken with a Canon 60Da fitted with a Vivitar 8mm F3.5 Fish-eye lens on a tripod. The exposure was about 45 seconds at ISO 2000.
You can see the starfields of Cygnus and much more.

Rough Trade NYC turning into Empire Records for film's 20th anniversary; real bands covering movie bands for Faux Real II
by Andrew Sacher
You may remember that last year for Record Store Day, Father/Daughter Records put out Faux Real, a compilation of punk and indie bands covering fictional TV and movie bands. RSD rejected the idea of putting out a sequel, but Father/Daughter are going ahead with it anyway and will release Faux Real II on April 28. It features Chumped, Krill, Allison Crutchfield, LVL UP and more taking on songs from Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, Billy Madison, Doug, Almost Famous and more. Listen to LVL UP's take on "Somebody Kll Me Please" from The Wedding Singer, with the full tracklist, below.
There's also a release show happening in NYC on April 28 at Palisades with Bellows, Small Wonder, Rivergazer and Sharpless. Tickets are on sale now.
In other music movie news, Empire Records turns 20 this year, and Rough Trade NYC in Williamsburg will be hosting a high-concept anniversary celebration on April 8. Presented by BBQ Films, they're even calling it Rex Manning Day and will have the whole place turned into the actual Empire Records store from the movie. Here's the event description:
Twenty years - to the day! - since the original Rex Manning Day, BBQ Films invites you to "Say No More, Mon Amour," damn the man, and save The Empire. For one night only, Williamsburg's Rough Trade is transformed into the legendary Empire Records, with all the staff and characters you've come to love (and hate).Tickets are on Internet presale now (anyone know the password?) and the general on-sale begins Friday, 2/20, at noon. A portion of proceeds will go to a TBA charity.
On April 8, 2015, join Lucas and his couch cushion, boss Joe (but don't touch his drums!), Gina and her "Sugar High," and, of course, Corey and her crush, Rex Manning... Immerse yourself in the world of Empire Records with a screening of the film, live music, a Rex Manning autograph, and, if you're brave enough, a chance to shave your head for Debra's funeral. Music-veto power available, pending Mark's approval.
Tickets include:
• 1 free drink and free BBQ Films gourmet popcorn
• A Rex Manning autograph
• 1 custom button at the DIY Button Station
• A fabulous Rex Manning Photobooth
• Screening of Empire Records (1995)
• A live set from the Empire house band, and potential additional sets TBA
• A head shaving station (first five folks who shave their heads drink free)
• A limited-edition event poster by Todd Ian Goldstein
• ...and all the theatrical immersion BBQ Films guests have come to expect...
Limited edition! For brave souls, special secret experiences will be auctioned off the night of. Think: A Warren shopping spree. A Gina Sugar High. An Oh Rexy You're So Sexy one-on-one with Rex himself... Come with a few extra bucks if you're game!
Empire Records is filled with memorable music moments, like when Eddie eats a special brownie and watches a GWAR video (only to hallucinate that GWAR attacks him on stage), when Joe gets behind the kit for AC/DC's "If You Want Blood (You Got It)," when most of the cast dances on the rooftop to The The's "This Is The Day," and of course when Gina joins Berko (played by actual rock musician Coyote Shivers) to sing "Sugarhigh." (By the way, if Faux Real III happens, someone should really do "Sugarhigh.") And for the real nerds, the post-credits scene when Eddie and Mark argue over whether Primus or the Pixies have better bass lines.
Revisit some of those moments below...

As discussed HERE and then HERE, Freddie Gibbs was allegedly the target of a shooting outside and after his show at Rough Trade in Williamsburg on Monday night (11/3). As also mentioned, two people that were with Freddie Gibbs were the ones who ended up being shot, though both are doing ok. One was shot in the hand. One was shot in the leg. Ends up the one shot in the leg was in fact Freddie's tour DJ, DJ Izzo. As you can see in the above Facetime screenshot, he is all smiles as he chats with Keith Jenkins of The Pack. Keith posted the picture to Instagram with the following message:
ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE ! TALKED TO MY BROTHER @djizzo LAST NIGHT THEY SHOT MY MAN IN BROOKLYN LAST NIGHT GOT EM IN THE LEG HE STILL ALIVE AND DOING WELL THEY COULDN'T STOP A REAL ONE !!! THIS WAS RIGHT AFTER HE SHITTED ON THE WHOLE CLUB AND HAD ALL THE BAD BITCHES IN TEARS CUZ HE AINT WANNA TALK TO EM IF THEY WASNT GO PAY EM !! GET WELLRapper Lew Barnez also posted an Instagram message. It reads:
My cousin @djizzo got [shot] in da leg lastnight in NYC Hes in hospital RN so go follow him and wish him a speedy recovery!!!! THEY TRIED TO KILL MY NEEGAS @djizzo & @freddiegibbs ..#fuckboys get jealous and start shootin neegas wtf!!!!Get will soon DJ Izzo!
Meanwhile. Freddie Gibbs hasn't said much since we last checked in with him. No word on actual suspects or updates in the case either.
Rough Trade NYC is open again tonight with a show by Panama Wedding, Paperwhite and Royal Tongues. And hilariously, Thursday with Nick Jonas. We might stop by Friday night to check out Cold Specks or to Saturday night's sold out Alvvays show. We'll definitely be there Sunday for the free (with LP purchase) Gruff Rhys instore.
aftermath at N. 9th & Wythe (via)
Earlier today, we pointed out that a shooting went down at Rough Trade NYC in Williamsburg last night after Indiana rapper Freddie Gibbs' show at the venue, and that he was the alleged target. Freddie meanwhile has confirmed tthat like his 2012 record, he's #StillLivin. With other tweets he further confirms he's good and that his tour DJ is too.
The NY Post article we linked to earlier has also since been updated and has more details on the situation:
Cops showed Gibbs pictures of the gunman, and another man seen inside the club with him, but the rapper didn't recognize either man.It hasn't been confirmed who the gunman was yet, but some people on Twitter have speculated that Jeezy, who Freddie had a major fallout with which resulted in death threats, was behind it. The Four Oh Five also said, "This could potentially stem from some beef between Freddie Gibbs and Young Jeezy, although absolutely nothing has been confirmed, of course, and I'm only putting two and two together."
Rough Trade doesn't have metal detectors and doesn't check customers for weapons, police said.
"They don't have metal detectors, they don't use wands," the investigator said, "nothing prevents somebody from bringing in a gun."
The gunman could have shot Gibbs inside, but instead opened fire when they were all outside.
"At one point, he [the shooter] was standing right next to you," the investigator said. "The opportunity was there if he wanted to shoot."
Others have guessed that Dipset's Jim Jones, who Freddie recently called out, saying "he a wanna be blood," was behind it. But when one person suggested that on Twitter, Freddie responded "na I doubt it he too pussy."
Above is a picture of the aftermath via Alex Esguerra, who wrote "Last night two guys got shot outside of #roughtrade literally outside our window. We watched the aftermath out our window." Another instagram via @leopoldof is captioned saying the entire block is closed. As of now, tonight's Noah Gunderson / Owen Beverly show at Rough Trade still appears to be on though. If you go, keep an eye out for the previously mentioned bullet holes that now decorate the venue's door.
Stay tuned for any more updates. Listen to "Still Livin'" below...

Freddie Gibbs at Governors Ball 2013 (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin)
A shooting went down at last night's (11/3) Freddie Gibbs show at Rough Trade NYC in Williamsburg. Freddie Gibbs told the NY Post that they were going after him while he was sitting in a black GMC Denali outside the club. "They tried to kill Tupac. They tried to kill me. I'm still alive," he said.
The article further reports that a law enforcement source said it was a single gunman who opened fire at 1:13 AM, and that two were shot. Both are believed to be part of Freddie's entourage, but the police have not identified them at this time (update: one was Freddie's tour DJ, DJ Izzo). Freddie told the NY Post that he took cover inside the venue after the shots were fired.
One person at the show posted the following message to Facebook last night: "rap shows,,, someone just shot up rough trade while we were in here. WTF!!! and the guy they were gunning for ran right behind the bar into the closet right near us!". Then: "we're all ok... bullet holes in the front door. someone had it out for Freddy Gibb I tell ya..."
The victims were both brought to Bellevue Hospital and are listed in stable condition.

It's NY Fashion Week: Jarvis Cocker, Banks, Kiesza, Lady Gaga & more playing parties (Banks also plays Rough Trade)
Though the more pedestrian "Fashion's Night Out" ended in NYC in 2012, the more high brow New York Fashion Week continues year after year and is back upon us once more. As always, that means lots of parties we can't get into, with performances by some of our most loved and hated musical artists. This year, as PAPER lists out in a handy guide, includes shows by Kiesza (tonight at a party co-hosted by Sophia Lamar, The Misshapes, Mike Nouveau and more -- -flyer above), Jarvis Cocker (tonight as part of a big extravaganza in Madison Square Park with Sofia Coppola, Angela McCluskey, Kalup Linzy and more --- see flyer above and HERE), Banks (tonight and tomorrow), Maluca (tomorrow), Pharrell (maybe?), secret guests and more. Unfortunately almost everything is invite only, but where there's a will, there's a way?
Banks' upcoming show at Terminal 5 is also going to be hard to get into (sold out), but you can try to get in to the much-more-public-and-practically-free Banks in-store at Rough Trade in Brooklyn on 9/9.
Tickets are still on sale for the fun, annual Fashion Week-timed event Bushwig at Secret Project Robot in Brooklyn this weekend. Lots of DJs, wigs, drag performers, wigs, and more wigs.
Speaking of, Lady Gaga will make an appearance this week at the The Plaza Hotel for Bazaar, and it will be a "jazz performance".
Spike Jonze and Jonah Hill are also in on the fun. They "have teamed to produce and write a one-act play for the fall New York Fashion Week presentation of Opening Ceremony's Spring 2015 line."
What else is happening? Leave tips in the comments.
Rough Trade opening a 4th store; Gramercy Arms, Naomi Shelton, French Style Furs & more playing the NYC one
The Guardian reports that Rough Trade will open a new shop in Nottingham, the "independent music chain will establish its fourth store, following last autumn's opening in New York."
As you know, the NYC shop, located in Williamsburg, is both a record store and music venue. Upcoming shows at the NYC venue include new Frenchkiss-signed Cold War Kids side project French Style Furs (who also play Mercury Lounge), the 5-year anniversary of 'Let's Play House' (free entry and beer with RSVP), Sub Pop-signed Seattle psych band Rose Windows, Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip (who relocated from Joe's Pub), a free Naomi Shelton & The Gospel Queens show (with Daptone DJs), and a free-with-purchase Gramercy Arms show.
Gramercy Arms, who we first mentioned in 2008 (the same year they last released anything and when we caught them at Bowery Ballroom with Nada Surf and Delta Spirit), "is a revolving New York based collective of musicians and artists, masterminded by main songwriter/producer Dave Derby (Dambuilders/Lloyd Cole) along with Rainy Orteca, Sean Eden and Kevin March. The group is releasing its second full-length record, The Seasons of Love, on Reveal Records on July 21st."
The Rough Trade show is their record release show and will feature: Kevin March (drums), Sean Eden (guitar), Rainy Orteca (bass), Carl Baggaley (keyboards), Claudia Chopek (violin), and Kendall Meade and Renee LoBue guesting on backing vocals. They have no other scheduled dates at the moment. You can watch their new video for "Always in Love", below...

Joyce Manor playing Rough Trade NYC on record release day before tour (updated dates & a chance to win tix!)
photo by Dan Monick
Joyce Manor will release their much-anticipated third album Never Hungover Again on July 22 via their new label home of Epitaph, and from the sound of its two singles, we're in for more fast-paced melodic indie punk. As discussed, the band's tour brings them to NYC in September but they'll be here way sooner to celebrate the new record on release day (7/22) at Rough Trade NYC.
It's an in-store (doors at 6:30 PM, music at 7) and to get in you need to buy the record at the Rough Trade store that day. There's one other way to get in though, we're giving away a few pairs of tickets and details on that are below.
Their proper tour hits Bowery Ballroom on 9/15 with The Exquisities and Mike Bell & The Movies. Tickets for that show are still available. Updated dates are listed, with the two song streams from the LP, below...

Peter Murphy playing in-store Sunday at Rough Trade; get the Orwells record there for entry to their show
As mentioned, Peter Murphy has a new album, Lion, and is currently on tour with openers Ringo Deathstarr.

tUnE-yArDs released her third album, Nikki Nack, this week via 4AD and though she's got a full tour with Sylvan Esso coming up that includes two nights in NYC at Webster Hall, she celebrated with some smaller release week shows including Rough Trade NYC last night (5/7).
The show focused almost only on the new album, playing most of its songs and only saving room for three cuts off its predecessor w h o k i l l, "Gangsta," "Powa," and "Bizness" (nothing from the first album). Admittedly, the new album wasn't hitting me like w h o k i l l did, but any doubts I had were gone once she played them live last night. Merrill is now joined by a pretty different band (besides longtime bassist Nate Brenner) that includes three backing vocalists, and it's really a different show than the w h o k i l l tour. Still, it's strangely complex and strangely accessible in that way tUnE-yArDs always manages to be.
She consistently has a way of pulling from several genres at once, and with her new backing vocal section, I kept getting a warped Motown vibe from the new songs that I didn't notice on the album. The new stuff made for some real standout moments too. "Rocking Chair" was a hell of an opener, and first single "Water Fountain" clearly had the crowd excited, smiling, and singing along maybe even more so than when she played her earlier material.
The show was opened by Olga Bell, who just over a week ago played her new Russian song cycle, Krai, with a full ensemble at Le Poisson Rouge, but this time was in solo mode and singing in English. (She did play a quick excerpt from Krai though.) Her set also included a cover of Weezer's "Buddy Holly" that, besides the vocals, bared little resemblance to the original but totally worked. Pictures of both Olga and tUnE-yArDs (including one of their setlist) are in this post.
tUnE-yArDs' tour with Sylvan Esso includes NYC shows on June 22 & 23 at Webster Hall. Night 1 is sold out but you can still get tickets to night 2. Sylvan Esso also play a Governors Ball pre-party in NYC at The Westway tonight (5/8). That's sold out.

You need to buy a copy of Naruma Rubberband at the store on Sunday (it opens at 11 AM) which will get you a wristband to the show which starts at 2:30 PM. (Doors are at 2 PM.)
The band will be back next month when their tour hits NYC for two sold-out shows at Terminal 5. Updated dates are listed, along with video and new song stream, below...

DOWNLOAD: Ought - Habit (MP3)
Montreal indie rockers Ought have been picking up some buzz for their debut album, More Than Any Other Day, which comes out this week (4/29) via Constellation Records (Godspeed You! Black Emperor). From the two songs that have been released from the album, "Habit" and "The Weather Song," it sounds like the guys in Ought may own a couple Talking Heads records. It also sounds a bit like the buzz bands of 2005, when bands like Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and Wilderness were making the blog rounds. You can hear those two tracks yourself, along with the album artwork and tracklist, below.
Ought also have some shows coming up, including two in NYC. They play their first-ever show here on Saturday (5/3) at Brooklyn Night Bazaar with an otherwise all-NYC lineup of Pictureplane, LODRO, Truthers and Bodyparts (which, like all BKNB shows, is free); and Rough Trade NYC on June 20 with The Yum Dee Days and Savants. Tickets for the Rough Trade show go on sale Friday (5/2) at noon.
All dates are listed, with those song streams and album info, below...

Hospitality, Nothing, Fear of Men, Mark Mulcahy, Amen Dunes, & more played Rough Trade on #RSD14 (pics)

Hospitality / Fear of Men / Mark Mulcahy
Perhaps the busiest place to be in NYC on Record Store Day 2014 (aka April 19) was Rough Trade which had a line down to the water till at least noon for those hoping to get their hands on some of the RSD14 exclusive titles. If you just wanted to go in and shop for non-RSD stuff or catch one of the many free in-store performances, you could just waltz in. There was also free coffee and samples of Sixpoint beers. And the balcony book/magazine section makes for good people-watching
I showed up just in time to catch Mark Mulcahy's 4 PM performance. He was there in part because his 1997 solo debut, Fathering, got a RSD14 vinyl release but he played a couple Miracle Legion songs and told a few stories too. Mark's got one of my favorite voices, warm, smoky and still capable of hitting his high notes clear as a bell. Mark wrapped up his too-short set with "Hey Sandy!" -- aka the theme to The Adventures of Pete & Pete. Afterward someone came up and had Mark sign their "Hey Sandy" cassingle (which you could only get if you collected Frosted Mini Wheats proof of purchases). He has some devoted fans.
Nothing @ Rough Trade, RSD14
I left for a bit but made it back to catch Philadelphia's Nothing who had earlier that day released a cover of Low's "In Metal" as a free download just for RSD. While the volume at at Rough Trade never reached "11" proportions, it was loud enough that between that and seeing No Joy at Brooklyn Night Bazaar later in the evening, my ears were ringing the next morning. They were good.
Other performers at Rough Trade's RSD14 festivities were UK folk-pop group The Rails who pulled a Phil Collins, having played Rough Trade London that morning and then hopping on a plane to NYC. There was also pop performer Betty Who, UK band Fear of Men, indie rockers Slothrust and Palehound, plus Milagres, Amen Dunes and headliners Hospitality. Pictures from Record Store Day at Rough Trade are in this post.
Fear of Men played two free weekend shows (they sounded great at Brooklyn Night Bazaar on Friday [4/18]), and you can catch them again at their early show on Wednesday (4/23) at Baby's All Right which is also free.
A few pics from Other Music's Record Store Day activities are here. More from Rough Trade below...

Perfect Pussy at SXSW 2014 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
Syracuse noise punks Perfect Pussy really do not stop touring. They brought their ongoing tour to NYC for two shows earlier this month, and they already have plans to return THREE more times in the near future. As mentioned in our NYC Record Store Day Guide, they'll play the big FREE RSD in-store at Rough Trade NYC on Saturday (4/19) afternoon with Nothing, Hospitality, Fear of Men, Palehound and more. They're also sticking around Brooklyn that day for a midnight show at Silent Barn with Arm Candy (more info).
As we also mentioned today in our Northside Festival update, Perfect Pussy will return for a TBA Brooklyn show during that festival (6/12-15). Stay tuned for more info on that.
Updated Perfect Pussy dates (including shows with Yamantaka // Sonic Titan and Potty Mouth) are listed, with a video of them at 285 Kent in 2013, below...

LCD's final show, MSG 4/2/2011 (more by Dominick Mastrangelo)
Well, they didn't call it The Short Farewell. LCD Soundsystem's The Long Goodbye five-LP live album boxset of the group's final show (MSG, 4/2/2011) is being released on Record Store Day (April 19). And that goodbye is getting longer. As a leadup to that, an exhibit about the show/boxset will take over the exhibition room at Rough Trade NYC from April 7 - May 7. (That's the space that just had the Moog installation.) Here's what visitors can expect:
LCD Soundsystem: The Long Goodbye will immerse attendees in the sounds, sights and emotions of the band's historic April 2, 2011 farewell, an epic near 4-hour tour de force hailed by New York magazine as "a marvel of pure craft" and Rolling Stone as a "staggeringly great night." LCD Soundsystem: The Long Goodbye will come alive in multiple dimensions via exclusive video, advance pressings of the album's five vinyl LPs laid out on five turntables, and a massive assortment of 4" x 6" prints of images by longtime LCD photographer Ruvan Wijesooriya, many never before been seen--and all available for the taking and replenished weekly.The exhibit is free and open to the public, 11 AM - 11 PM nightly.
Rough Trade announces free #RSD14 in-store performers (Nothing, Fear of Men, Mark Mulcahy, Palehound & more)
Palehound @ BV SXSW 2014 (more by Tim Griffin)
Record Store Day 2014 is just a couple weekends away (Saturday, April 19) and even if you aren't one of the ones clamoring for RSD exclusive releases, you can partake in teh festivities via free in-store performances. Rough Trade NYC has announced it's slate of RSD live music performers: Amen Dunes, Betty Who, Fear of Men, Mark Mulcahy, Milagres, Nothing, Palehound, and The Rails. Additionally, the day will feature DJ sets by Bella Union's Simon Raymonde, the folks at Daptone Records, Justin Strauss, and Deano Sounds of Cultures of Soul Records. Set times have not been announced but the performances are free to attend.
The Rails, which features Kami Thompson (Richard & Linda Thompson's daughter), plays London's Rough Trade East in the morning and flies to NYC immediately after for her show at the Williamsburg location (shades of Phil Collins at Live Aid there).
Fear of Men play another free show in NYC the night before (4/18) at Brooklyn Night Bazaar, with Beverly, Alvvays and Beach Day.
If you are one of those looking for RSD14 exclusive releases, Rough Trade has published their list of what they're getting in the store. On Record Store Day, Rough Trade NYC opens at 9 AM.
After four months of being closed for renovations and soundproofing (a mere week after they first opened), Rough Trade's music venue finally has the green light to reopen. Tonight (3/21) there's two shows: Rathborne and Streets of Laredo early (tickets), and How to Dress Well late (sold out). Saturday night (3/22) is Elysian Fields, Melvin Van Peebles Menage A Trois, and The Aspiring Me (tickets); and Sunday has Genesis Breyer P-Orridge in conversation with JG Thirlwell, which is free, followed by a book signing.
Other notable upcoming shows: The Allah-Las (3/27, sold out), The Pains of Being Pure at Heart (3/28, sold out), and I Break Horses on 4/18 (tickets). Also upcoming is Ben Watt w/ Bernard Butler to which you can still get tickets (Joe's Pub is sold out), but if you'd like to go for free, we're giving a pair away. Details below.
Full Rough Trade schedule is here. If you're going there, don't forget to check out the big Moog installation. Glad to have you back open, guys, and glad to not have to write "Rough Trade cancels/moves more shows" anymore.

De La Soul releasing a mixtape w/ all J Dilla beats (stream a track); Talib Kweli playing "NY Loves Dilla" & other shows
De La Soul recently gave away their entire catalog for free download in celebration of the 25th anniversary of 3 Feet High and Rising, and they'll continue that celebration with more new material, including a mixtape, Smell the D.A.I.S.Y., which will have all beats by the late, great J Dilla. They recently released one of those, "Dilla Plugged In" (which reworks "Plug Tunin'"), which you can listen to below.
Dilla will also be celebrated in NYC with the inaugural "NY Loves Dilla" concert at Marlin Room at Webster Hall on March 23. The show will be headlined by Talib Kweli, and also features sets from Phony PPL and YC the Cynic, with host Maureen "Ma Dukes" Yancey. TIckets for that show are on sale now.
That's one of three NYC shows the busy Talib Kweli is taking part in that week. He'll also be at a special edition of Soulive's 8-night Bowlive at Brooklyn Bowl on March 20. Also appearing that day is DMC of Run DMC, The Shady Horns and Alan Evans Trio (tickets). Talib then does a free in-store and signing at Rough Trade NYC on March 22.
Stream the De La Soul/Dilla song, with a message from De La on the upcoming material, below...

tUnE-yArDs has announced that she'll release her third album, Nikki Nack, which follow's 2011's excellent w h o k i l l, on May 6 via 4AD. You can preview it with a megamix of clips from the album, below.
She also announced some dates that include a few festivals (Sasquatch, Free Press Summer Fest, NXNE, Firefly and Pitchfork) and a NYC show the day after the album's release at Rough Trade (5/7), a much smaller venue than her 2012 show at Terminal 5. Tickets for that show go on sale Wednesday (3/5) at noon, and will probably go pretty fast.
All dates are listed, with the megamix, below...

Swearin' at Saint Vitus this week (more by Amanda Hatfield)
Looks like Rough Trade still needs a little more time to get their ducks in order, as two more upcoming shows have now moved to other venues. Swearin's show on March 7 with Even Hand and Certain Spiders will now happen at Music Hall of Williamsburg -- it's now an all-ages show and tickets are still available. Swearin' also play Cake Shop the night before (3/6) with Cassie Ramone (tickets).
The other move is Jungle's show on March 8 which will now happen at Knitting Factory (Wet are opening). While Knit is a bigger capacity venue, it's still being listed as sold-out (as is the Mercury Lounge show on 3/9).
The next show after those on Rough Trade's current schedule is The Damnwells on March 15 and that's sold out and staying put for now.

St. Vincent is set to release her much-anticipated self-titled album next week (2/25) via Loma Vista, but you can now listen to it in full ahead of its release date. It's streaming below (via The Guardian), or you can listen at NPR. It's got the arty eccentricities we've come to expect from St. Vincent, but it's also some of her most accessible stuff to date. Check it out.
As discussed, her tour hits NYC on February 26 at Terminal 5 (sold out), but two days before that she'll be doing an album signing at Rough Trade NYC (2/24). Head to that store starting at noon Friday (2/21) to get a wristband and then return Monday (2/24) to purchase the album and have it signed. The signing starts at 9 PM and space is limited.
Listen to St. Vincent below...

Kelela at MHOW during CMJ 2013 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
R&B boundary pusher Kelela just followed her impressive debut album/mixtape CUT 4 ME with a new single, "The High." Like on her mixtape, she eschews typical R&B production in favor of working with producers of the IDM/bass/future garage/etc variety. This one, produced by Gifted & Blessed, is murky, downtempo and hardly melodic, and it serves as an excellent background for the atmospheric crooning Kelela does on the track. Listen to it below.
Kelela plays around NYC a lot, and she'll do so again, as she's just announced two US shows to follow her appearance at SXSW: one in LA and one in NYC happening on April 3 at Rough Trade with "special guests." Tickets for the NYC show go on sale Friday (2/7) at noon.
All dates are listed, along with the new song stream, below...

Wayne Coyne going on a solo tour of record stores; Flaming Lips reissuing 1st EP on vinyl in a chocolate skull
Flaming Lips in San Francisco on Halloween 2013 (more by Chris Tuite)
The Flaming Lips are about to come to NYC to play the Amnesty International concert at Barclays Center on Wednesday (2/5) (tickets), and after that frontman Wayne Coyne will be going on a solo tour of record stores. It kicks off at Manhattan's Other Music on Saturday (2/8) at 11 AM, and that's followed by an appearance at Brooklyn's Rough Trade at 4 PM the same day. All dates on the tour are listed below.
For Wayne's solo tour, he'll be selling an "extremely limited edition" of the Flaming Lips first EP, which was initially released in 1984 and at that point featured Wayne's brother Mark on lead vocals. Details via press release on what this edition of the EP will entail:
Wayne will be selling an extremely Limited Edition version of the 12" EP which is housed with a hand-crafted, custom-made solid chocolate skull; anatomically correct and life-sized, of course. Each skull contains a special Gold Coin that is redeemable as admission to any headline show by THE FLAMING LIPS in the world.The Flaming Lips are also performing on The Late Show with David Letterman (which is filmed at the Ed Sullivan Theatre) on Thursday (2/6), celebrating Beatles Week.
The Flaming Lips 1st EP will be available as a limited edition 12-inch on green vinyl and signed by Coyne. The last time this recording was available on vinyl was in 1986. It was originally recorded in two sessions at Benson Sound in 1984 and released on the group's homemade label Lovely Sorts of Death Records. This edition has been remastered by LIPS bassist Michael Ivins and given a reimagined cover by freak artist Charlie Immer.

1764 Tasting Notes
And another sipdown!
I tried to drink the Clipper Assam that I got from KittyLovesTea but I think I oversteeped it. It was bitter and awful and I'll have to pay more attention to it when I try again later!
I drank this instead, but it might not have been the best choice to follow my matcha drink with. I think I'm getting a bit spinny. :| Maybe I'm not as caffiene-tolerant as I thought, or maybe I'm just consuming more now that I'm at work all day?
Questions. Questions…
I drank this one for the sipdown! I gotta make room for all my incoming teas!
It was very nice though. Not sure I'd go out of my way to buy this, but I wouldn't say no to getting more in a swap.
Thanks again CrowKettle for helping to introduce me to matcha!
I've only got one bag of this left. :O
I'm almost tempted to buy more while they're 15% off but it's not worth $15 in shipping. It's not. It's… not. I'll stay strong! (But people sell it and Florence in Canada, right? Cuz I'm hooked now!)
I better not impulse buy though because KittyLovesTea just sent me a huge package with 12 samples in it, ranging from just 2-3 tea bags, all the way up to 50g! Yep. That'll take a while to get to!
And Sil just sent me an extra generous package today. Also, TerriHarpLady did too (although I think hers will be more reasonable in size! Haha). And I think I've still got one more swap coming in after that.
And my Verdant tea order should ship this week. And my Butiki order will also ship this week.
(I'm at 125 teas now. Let's see if I can creep that down a bit before the rest trickle in). I'm making a noob intro pack to loose leaf tea for my sister and we're both so psyched. I bought her the yellow peacock Perfect Mug and a Perfect Spoon. Now I'm going to choose 20+ teas to give her samples of to show her the best that loose leaf tea has to offer (that I have), and send her a cheat sheet on how to steep them for best results! #oneofus #oneofus
Yes! So good! I added a touch of cream and that was pretty awesome too.
My birthday isn't until July but I'm already trying to decide what company I want to splurge on with birthday money (my bf doesn't like gift shopping so I might just buy my own present – bwahaha). Debating on a H&S order, Red Leaf matcha order, or renewing my Amoda boxes for 4-12 months. (Or a combo? IDK).
Now that I'm back to work and my income etc seems to be fairly regular, I'll be tracking my expenses on a spreadsheet again, so I have a feeling my tea purchases will decline as I have a visible papertrail to shame me. :P
Deciding over those companies is tough! Have you been enjoying your Amoda boxes? I was fortunate enough to try a few of their selections at the Vic tea fest and it was too hit or miss for me to justify throwing money at you-never-know-what. If I were you I'd go with either H&S or Red Leaf.
PacifiCHA Faction ought to get together and split a selection of matcha too. That would help with all our expenses, I'm sure.
Yeah I might let the Amoda box lapse for a bit. It's a nice novelty, but unreliable. I guess this last box will be the deciding one as it's led me to try teas (like Lord Petersham) that I wouldn't have found otherwise.
Splitting on a Matcha order might be a good idea, especially if we do the buy 5 +2 option or something like that. I just am hesitant to jump on more orders as I get so busy it's hard to meet up with people and pick/hand-out the tea. This butiki order is my experiment to see how well it works!
I really liked the amoda box just to try new things when i wasn't feeling adventurous AND when i was just trying to get a handle on the things i like/don't like. Now i prefer not having it since i'm getting good at finding companies that do sample sizes so i try things that way :)
Sadly the Butiki order still hasn't shipped. I'll be sure to let you know when it does though! i'm getting so impatient for my teas. :) I'd love to do a matcha order, but not for a couple months at this point sadly.
She said on Facebook that it should ship Thursday! I hope the shipping is fairly quick!
And I'll probably be headi.g to Toronto before we get a matcha order together. :/. Not that you can't do it without me!
I'm in noooo rush to get on a Red Leaf order. Srsly ladies, I have four (?) flavours to get through yet.
Butiki will soon be ours! It's going to be like Christmas in Australia for us.
Annnnd, another sipdown!
I probably shouldn't have had three cups of matcha because I feel a bit outta it now. Too much, man, that was too much!
This was a lovely tea that I'll miss. I added a bit more leaf and steeped it a bit longer and it tastes more like pastry than it did before. And it's almost like baked goods cinnamon (instead of fake cinnamon). Very nice!
I'm also a bit wigged out atm because we have movers in our office and they seem like idiots. They're complaining a lot, and looking around at everything. I was pouring hot water into my timolino from the fancy coffee machine and the one guy just stared at it, and flicked my mug with his finger as he appreciated the machine. NO TOUCHING! :O Bah. Time to go home soon anyway or I'll get trapped on the stairs while they move stuff around.
So I measured out a perfect matcha scoop of this, put it in a cup and swirled it around with a coffee stirrer. Then I added 4 oz of hot water, and 2 oz of warmish milk from our fancy coffee machine thingy at work. Now: Enjoyed!
I totally butchered it though, didn't I? I feel like a Matcha Barbarian. This is so good though! I wonder how it'd be if I took better care of it! :P
I also had a scoop of this, mixed with 1oz of hot water, then I poured it into a water bottle with ice and shook it around and drank it that way too. Also tasty, but more like a milk shake.
I can't wait to learn more about matcha! Thank you Sil for the sample. This is pretty great stuff.
Maybe someday I'll invest in a matcha whisk so I don't get sediment at the bottom of my cup.
How do you guys make matcha when you're at work by the way?
Ok, I'll miss this but I don't need to replace it as there are so many other blacks teas out there that I enjoy more. I have a soft spot for it because it was my first non-flavoured black that I bought a tin of. Now that tin will go to my 2oz of Laoshan Black. How things have changed…
I wish I hadn't got the labels from DavidsTea on the tins when I bought them, but that was back in the day when I thought OMG I'd love this tea forevers! Maybe I can make my own labels to hide the old one. :)
Dropping the rating a little bit so I don't get tricked into buying more.
Haha how times change indeed. I luckily only have one DT tin, for Toasted Marshmallow, which I've gotten ridiculously tired of halfway through now. Can't wait to finish it, and let's hope those labels they slap on aren't too sticky.
Oh why would I do this to myself? I accidentally steeped this for 10 minutes while doing work, and now this is awful. It tastes like soggy bitter seaweed.
I had a feeling it would, and yet, like a hardcore tea addict, I tried it anyway.
Before Steepster that's how I assumed green tea was supposed to taste. 100g of Korean Sejak did not deserve that kind of treatment.
I thought this had cinnamon in it when I smelled it, but I guess it was the licorice root that gave it that something extra.
This is my second berry puerh, but there are huge differences between this and the one from DavidsTea. This one tastes more like puerh – there's a heavy earthiness to it, while the other one was much heavier on the berry notes. I'll have to try the DavidsTea one soon to get a better idea of which I prefer!
I'm also going to the mall on my way home tonight. I need to grab other things but I'm hoping to find some metal tins, or something that I can store my tea in to organize it better! I'm sure you guys have similiar problems with your stashes! It just seems like mine is 70% foil bags, so it'd be nice to sort them better. It'll be fun looking for options.
ETA: The vanilla and licorice are pretty interesting in this. They linger long after each sip, and they do sorta wake me up a bit. Not bad for an after lunch tea (that
will won't magically help me lose weight!)
i like the bags…but then i also have giant containers that i toss all of those in when it's the smaller sizes lol
I have cookie tins that I throw my bags into right now, but they're… getting a little squished. :P And I don't have enough of them. I've got one for black tea, one for herbal/rooibos, and then two boxes that I throw everything else in.
I'm just thinking when I move more containers will be nice.
My tea shelves are a mixture of recycled tea canisters that are reserved for teas I'm in love with & willing to order a fair amount of (like Premium Taiwanese Assam, Laoshan Black, etc), bags, & samples. Some of the bags are sorted into boxes that tea came in, others are squished together into shelves. It's organized chaos, if you know what I mean!
Thank you JosieJade for this sample! I think it's been in my box for a while, but I'm hapy to finally give it a proper review!
I love the fresh fruity aroma, with a very smoooooth black base. I wouldn't want to drink this every day but I could see it quickly becoming a regular.
It reminds me a bit of Tardis! I guess I do like berry teas, especially when they're subtle.

Utrecht To Host 2015 Tour De France Grand Depart As Race Returns To Foreign Soil
Published November 12, 2013
The 2015 Tour de France will start in Utrecht after organizers confirmed that "they will stage back-to-back foreign Grand Departs," according to SKY SPORTS. Twelve months after England hosts the first three stages of the '14 edition, Amaury Sports Organisation "will take the world's biggest cycle race to the Netherlands for the second time in six years and sixth time in total." Utrecht "is renowned as a cycling city, with an estimated 160,000 bikes in regular use, encompassing more than half the population of the city" (SKY SPORTS, 11/8). The London GUARDIAN reported the city said in a statement it was "extremely happy with this enormous economic, cultural and tourism impulse." Details of the opening stage of the race will be revealed on Nov. 28, Tour organizers said on the race website (GUARDIAN, 11/8).

In this article I propose that symbolic healing has a universal structure in which the healer helps the patient particularize a general cultural mythic world and manipulate healing symbols in it. Problems currently existing in the explanation of symbolic healing are examined. The relationship between Western psychotherapy and magical healing is explained, the Junction qfshamanic ecstasy is discussed, and symbolic healing is explained in terms of a theory of living systems.
