Suuuuper good! I had a really bad problem w the area around my eyes starting 2011. Lots of itching and therefore scratching. Redness and inflamed skin that made me look so sick for the longest time. Randomly picked this up at the start of this year and it has worked wonders! The redness has almost completely cleared up. Sometimes it does come back. But only if I neglect my allergies and such.

I've picked out this moisturizer after seen all the good reviews.
I use this one for winter time when my skin is all dry and dehydrated from the cold winter temperature. I use this day and night and I absolutely LOVE it! HG for winter moisturizer. It's a pretty thick and rich cream and take a short while to be fully absorbed (less than 5 min). My skin feels so supple and soft after using this. I stopped having dry patches during winter and my skin never feels tight. (I use about 3 tubes per winter. I live in Canada so our winter is from late October until end of March). Never had a pimple with this cream.
packaging: It's nice that it's well sealed and bacteria proof but I sometimes struggled to open the moisturizer because it was shut so tightly...
price : it is an expensive for the amount you get. But it's worth every penny!
I strongly recommend this to everyone! It's worth a try. If you're not sure, you can always use it as a mask to recover from a dry, dehydrated skin. I'd rebuy this next year for sure!

I am very much on the fence with this moisturizer. On the one hand, I love the packaging, and I like the way the formula feels. I may have been setting myself up for failure, hoping for some kind of miracle product. My skin has been very out of whack lately, all kinds of little breakouts, smatterings of white and blackheads, and pimples popping up on my chin and forehead every so often. I also have mild rosacea, and try to avoid using anything too drying or too intense as that tends to make things worse.
That being said, I can't tell if this moisturizer (the only new product I've introduced lately into my admittedly sparse skincare regime) is making me breakout. I also don't know if it is really doing much of anything good, either, and if the tube hadn't cost be ~$35, I probably wouldn't still be using it.
I've been applying it once a day, at night, after washing my face and in the place of my usual Nivea cream. I am tempted to switch back to Nivea for a few weeks, and see if that calms things down (if I do, I will update this review.) To be honest, there is nothing inherently awful about this Avene moisturizer, and I'm sure for some people whose skin isn't quite as persnickety as mine, it might work wonders. But I haven't found anything spectacular about it either. All and all, it is a bit of a wash, potentially an acne causing one, for me.

It's a nice calming cream. Doesn't give enough moisture during winter though, so you need to use some oil or serum. It lasts quite long so I think it's worth the price. The only downside is that it makes my face shiny (i have slightly oily combination skin), so I wouldn't repurchase it.

I bought this on a whim, after my skin was irritated by another product. However, I did not notice the ingredients list. Second ingredient is mineral oil and third ingredient is cyclomethicone. Now, it might just be me but I believe it's about time brands for sensitive skin stop putting mineral oil in everything. Yes, mineral oil is great for eczma and other dry skin conditions. And that's why it should not be put on most people's faces!
I understand that some people who might actually have a disturbed hydrolipidic barrier need occlusive molecules such as those found in mineral oil to support such layer. And when people have highly allergic skin, they might not be able to use, for example, a plant oil. Sure. But most people don't need that barrier because their own barrier is intact. In the end of the day some people love mineral oil, others hate it. Either way, Avene should make it clear that this cream is only for people who tolerate occlusive moisturisers - i.e. very dry skin.
A few days of using this cream and the Avene milk cleanser left my skin full of red spots on places where I don't get them. I am adamant that the culprit is the high mineral oil content. I am scientist myself and I respect the experiments done on rabbit's and mice ears. However, it is also important to note that unlike us, mice and rabbits don't wear makeup and sunscreen nor have active sebaceous glands on their ears. They also don't become hormonal... So, just because we know that the molecules in mineral oil are too large to penetrate the pores, that doesn't necessarily mean that it won't cause problems. The fact that mineral oil is so occlusive (not only hydrophobic but also generally hard to shift) means that acne prone skin might end up breaking out. I do acknowledge that some people find great relief from mineral oil, but I would say most of us don't.
On a positive note, I really like the fact that it's fragrance free, comes in a tube and is quite light in texture. I would say this is an excellent option for people who tolerate and need moisturisers that are high in mineral oil. It still leaves a residue and a shiny face, but feels nice and soothing. I would say it would be nice to use overnight.
Overall I believe this is not suitable for my skin type. Only people who can tolerate mineral oil should reach for this. It is still much better than other recovery creams who only have mineral oil and silicones as main ingredients. At least this one has a high content of thermal water which is soothing and non occlusive- this is probably why the cream feels so light!

i've only been using this skin recovery cream calming formula for a week but so far the results i've got have been amazing. it has improved the texture of my skin, helped bring suppleness back to my skin and my redness has subsided by about 30%. i love it. my only complaint is that it cannot be used under makeup as it's kinda sticky and leave a dewy sheen so i only use it at night. other than that, it's a keeper.

Review for Avene Skin Recovery Cream (Soothing, Protecting: For Hypersensitive and Irritable skin)...
I just ordered my second bottle of this cream. I've been using it this winter. I have oily skin, but the harsh weather makes my face blotchy and red, and usual moisturizer just wasn't doing the trick. So I went to MUA Productville and found reviews for Avene Skin Recovery Cream.
I started using this a month ago, and noticed that the blotchiness (redness and mini whiteheads) would go away. I've also noticed that after a couple weeks of regular use the super fine lines under my eyes would go away. (I don't have wrinkles, but the left side of my face - drivers side, use sunscreen ppl! - has more "smile lines" than the right)
I have oily skin and no matter what moisturizer I use (including Avene Skin Recovery Cream) on my face I always have to blot the oil away during the day. The good news is that this moisturizer doesn't seem to make my skin oilier or clog my pores. I've only been using it in the winter so far so when summer rolls around things could change.
- moisturizing
- soothes blotchy skin
- erases fine lines and makes skin feel supple
- doesn't clog pores
- difficult to get product out of the bottle when it's low

I was in desperate need of a good moisturizer to get rid of the dry patches on my cheeks. I applied this day and night, and VOILA! My dry patches were gone after only 2 days!!! This stuff is FREAKING AMAZING! It is very thick, almost like a toothpaste consistency, and quite hard to blend (compared to other moisturizers). It's not greasy at all and leaves a matte finish. Also love the packaging: light and travel-friendly plastic squeeze tube with a specially sealed opening that makes it very hygienic. No fragrance and hypoallergenic.

This is a review for the rich formula, and sadly, this moisturizer made my skin feel leathery and my pores seemed to be enlarged, and worst of all: I got an itching rash from it. I tried it for two weeks, but now it is in my waste bin.
I bought it because since I hit 40, my skin has become very dry and very sensitive (i.e. I can't use the products I've been using for so many years anymore, my face gets all red). I was looking for a moisturizer that without perfume and colorants, and after a quite extensive research online I decided to go for the Avené Skin Recovery Cream Rich.
It was very rich so a little goes a long way, but it felt strange... Like the skin was hydrated but at the same time not supple and soft. At the beginning it calmed my red and irritated skin a little bit, but as the days went by my skin started to itch. Furthermore, my foundation (Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation) didn't set and instead that made me look like I had dry patches all over my face (which I didn't) and enhanced my pores instead of concealing them.
Finally, when the itching became bulging rashes on my chin, I decided to stop using this cream.
I would not recommend this to anyone. It was one of the strangest creams I've ever tried and I've tried Clarins, Clinique, Oil of Olay, Neutrogena, L'Oreal, Dior, Garnier, Elizabeth Arden etc. Reach for another moisturizer, MUA reader, this one won't help!

My skin tends to be oily on the T-zone area, but since this product, it neutralise my skin that it's no longer producing oil that much. It gives balance and now my skin feels healthier and smoother :)

A 17-year-old cognitively disabled girl from Panvel was rushed to a hospital after she complained about severe stomach pain on Friday evening. However, to everyone's surprise, the doctors revealed that the girl was three months pregnant after having been raped.
The victim's parents died a few years ago and she stays with one of her aunts in Panvel's Maladkar area.
When her cousins tried inquiring about the person who raped her, the victim could not remember anything. When they couldn't get any leads even after hours of asking, the family approached the police.
The Panvel city police have registered the case under section 376 of Indian Penal Code and sections 3 and 4 of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012. But the identity of her rapist has not yet been discovered.
"This is a very complicated case. The vicitim doesn't have a social life and usually stays at home. The area is a densely populated one and hardly any outsider visits the house. Even the family doesn't suspect anyone from the neighbourhood," said Priyanka Bore, police sub-inspector from Panvel city police station.
The girl was later sent to NMMC hospital in Vashi for a second medical check-up. "We don't even have any suspects, and the victim is unable to remember anything. But we are exploring all possible angles to solve the case," another police officer said.
"In India, it is illegal to abort the foetus after 20 weeks of getting pregnant. Therefore a proper medical check-up of the girl is very important before opting for that. But we don't know if the family has approached any hospital for the same. Nothing could be done without their consent," said a medical officer from NMMC hospital.

FLORHAM PARK, NJ - MAY 02: Head coach Rex Ryan of the New York Jets holds up a picture of rookie running back Shonn Greene as he speaks to the media during minicamp on May 2, 2009 at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center in Florham Park, New Jersey. (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)
Jets coach Rex Ryan went way back today in complimenting the Bills' defensive front, particularly rookie defensive lineman Marcell Dareus. Said Ryan: "Dareus reminds me ... the way he's playing and the way Big Wiggle as I used to call him is playing - Dwan Edwards - they remind me of Ron McDole and Tom Sestak, the No. 70 that used to play in the AFL days." The Jets rushed for 549 yards on the Bills in two games last year. Would he settle for 200 on Sunday? "I'll definitely settle for that," Ryan said. "We know it's going to be a big difference. I think the young man from Alabama has mace a huge difference for that football team." Rex knows about the '60s Bills. His father, Buddy, was defensive coordinator at the University of Buffalo back in 1964. Buddy made the jump to pro football in 1968 when he joined the staff of the New York Jets under coach Weeb Ewbank. ---Mark Gaughan

Caribbean crime wave linked to US deportations
"He had a level of experience with dealing with dead people or animals," forensics expert Trevor Modeste said. "We don't usually have crime like that. We don't usually have planned and executed murders."
Modeste said his suspicions were confirmed when Phillip, known locally as Ronald de Ally, boasted to police that he killed and buried two people in the United States who were never found.
Grenada police spokesman Troy Garvey said that claim has not been verified. Garvey said investigators' focus is on solving Raeburn-Delfish's slaying, but they will pass anything they learn about crimes in the U.S. to the appropriate jurisdiction.
Raeburn-Delfish was Phillip's landlord, but no motive has been established in the slaying. Phillip, who is charged with murder, did not have an attorney at his first court appearance.
At the heart of the problem is the disparity of wealth between the United States, where migrants often learn their criminal ways, and their poor homelands, where jobs are scarce and police resources are limited. Moreover, islanders who often left their native lands as children return to countries they barely recognize, with no remaining family.
Jean Nemorin, 47, who returned to Haiti in 2008, more than three decades after he arrived in the United States with his family at age 11, said there is a stigma attached to people like him when locals learn of their criminal past, making it tough to find work or a place to live.
"I struggled to feed myself for the first six months," Nemorin said. He declined to describe his conviction in the United States but said he is crime-free today, operating a moto-taxi in Port-au-Prince that he bought with money from relatives overseas.
The biggest impact has been in heavily populated countries like Jamaica, where deportees are suspected in several violent crimes each week, according to Leslie Green, an assistant police commissioner.
But smaller islands are increasingly leading the calls for help from Washington. A Grenada government spokesman, Richard Simon, said they lack the counseling, monitoring and housing services needed to absorb deportees with serious criminal records.
In Dominica, at least one criminal deportee is suspected in a recent pair of brazen, daylight robberies by masked men, Security Minister Charles Savarin said.
In St. Lucia, an island of 170,000 people that received 18 criminal deportees from the U.S. last year, Security Minister Guy Mayers said some of the convicts were apparently recruited into local drug rings that exploit their contacts from overseas prisons.
"We are not responsible for them becoming monsters," Mayers said. "We need support to be able to rehabilitate these people."
In 2007, the U.S. launched a pilot program managed by the United Nations' International Organization for Migration to help reintegrate deportees. The $3 million project provided services including career counseling and housing assistance in Haiti, Guyana and the Bahamas.
U.S. officials say they hope that effort will be the starting point for a regional discussion, but no money has been assigned so far to keep the program going.
Island governments say the deportee issue will remain a sticking point with Washington until they see more action.
"I raise this with U.S. authorities every chance I get," Mayers said.
Associated Press writer Evens Sanon contributed to this report from Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

I opened a brand new Planet Fitness location as General Manager.
After graduating from Marywood in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in Exercise Science/Physical Activity, I immediately entered the professional fitness world as a personal trainer and fitness instructor at Planet Fitness in the Philadelphia area. Shortly thereafter, I was offered a chance to open a brand new Planet Fitness location as General Manager.
Opening a new location from the ground up was a difficult and time consuming task. However, my four years at Marywood gave me the tools and confidence I needed to tackle this challenge. The education I received in the classroom provided me with the knowledge needed to train clients and effectively manage a fitness club. Being a four-year member of Marywood's Lacrosse team has also taught me great leadership and interpersonal skills which are applied daily, and will continue to help me as my career grows.
Wherever my career takes me, whether it is in fitness club ownership, or personal training, I know that everything I learned at Marywood will be with me every step of the way.

Ecology Without Nature, Rethinking Environmental Aesthetics
By McIntosh, Robert P
Ecology Without Nature, Rethinking Environmental Aesthetics. Morton, Timothy. Harvard University Press. Cambridge, Massachusetts, 2007. An alternative title for this volume could be "Ecology Without Ecology?" and the author asserts that "nature will have to wither away in an ecological state of human society." Morton describes his book as "considering art above all else," but that it is about "an ecology to come." He provides a collection of terms with the Eco prefix: Ecocriticism, Ecocritique, Ecodidactism, Ecofeminism, Ecologocentrism, Ecomimesis, Eco-phenomenology, Ecopsychology, Ecorhapsodic and Ecosophy, none familiar in the ecological literature. Definition of each of these is beyond the scope of this review and, perhaps, the comprehension of its readers. Ecocriticism, which is cited more often than any of the other Eco terms, is described as too enmeshed in the ideology that churns out stereotypical ideas of nature to be of any use. Morton prefers Ecocritique which does not think that it is paradoxical to say, in the name of ecology itself: Down with nature!
Ecomimesis turns out to be nature writing and for clarification is described as a mixture of excursus and exemplum. Fortunately, Morton teaches a class in ecological language as he introduces other terms, for example ambience, defined as "to make strange the idea of environment," and not cited in the index.
Since Morton's book, he says, is about art above all else it would be effrontery for a retired ecologist to review it in its entirety. However, given its title and limited references to recognizable ecologists and ecology, in a professional sense, I proffer a review of its comments on recognizable ecologists or their work. Morton writes, We should all be reading Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari instead of Aldo Leopold. He compares the kitsch of an Aldo Leopold's writing ajournai (an almanac) to convey nature in a suitable (non)aesthetic form, to "a minimalist painter who puts an empty frame in an art gallery." Leopold's famous "A Sand County Almanac", he writes "tries to escape the pull of the literary in much the same way as avant guard art tries to escape the conventional aesthetic". In contrast, Morton provides memorable sentences in locating "nature as sandwiched between terms such as God and Nature?", adding "Nature appears to be both lettuce and mayonnaise".
Morton distinguishes 'ecocritics' from 'post-structuralists' because, he writes, "If ecocritics prefer Aldo Leopold's almanac style, complete with cute illustrations, post-structuralists tend to go for the latest compilation album by an ambient techno DJ".
Ecocritique also asserts that "Leopold and The Orb are really two sides of the same coin". (The Orb is an unidentified music group).
A second ecologist, briefly mentioned by Morton, is Arthur Tansley who, along with Roy Clapham, is credited with coining the word "ecosystem." Clapham and his use of ecosystem are not identified and my own ecological sources do not offer any reference to him. However, the one sentence reference to Tansley gives very short shrift to one of the major founders of British ecology. Morton similarly dismisses E.O. Wilson who, apart from extended contributions to insect ecology, wrote several major books about philosophy of biology. Morton succinctly analyzes Wilson's contribution, 'For E.O. Wilson the humanities and social sciences stack neatly on top of biology, chemistry and physics'. This uncommunicative description bears the citation to Wilson's most encompassing book "Consilience: The Unity of Language" which rates no comment by this teacher of classes in ecological language.
Morton goes beyond one sentence to five sentences of equivocal comment about ecologist Gary Polis' idea of mesocosm which he allows may be a beneficial scientific concept. However, he ends equivocally, "The mesocosm swallows everything. Phenomena become equally meaningful, and thus meaningless, like a 1:1 map of reality." (Ernst Haeckel is given credit in parentheses for coining the work ecology.)
Morton's book is an extended consideration of literary references to environment that are often interesting and perceptive. It is hard to go wrong with Wordsworth, Keats, Thoreau, Austen among numerous other writers who make salient comments about aspects of environment. In the context of his extended discussion of the literary Morton makes frequent use of the word ecology, which does not appear in his index, and adds new terms such as ecotopia (to be able to see the future), which is not cited in his index or in either of my dictionaries.
Although Morton uses Ecology in the title of his book and frequently in the text he comments on ecological science only once. "Ecological science…has transformed the environment into a gigantic library, a palimpsest of texts waiting to be read. The old metaphor of the book of nature has returned, without an index". And certainly is unread by Timothy Morton.

The Bohicas | 26/05/15
Quickly building a stellar reputation on the back of a series of singles introducing their ludicrously melodic, snarling guitar pop, The Bohicas release their eagerly anticipated debut album 'The Making Of' on August 21st on Domino. Watch the band in action in the trailer for Pulse Films' director duo thirtytwo's (Blur's 'No Distance Left To Run, LCD Soundsystem's 'Shut Up And Play The Hits') tour documentary from the 'Swarm Over Essexxx' tour below.
'The Making Of' lands blow after blow. Featuring early singles XXX and Swarm, alongside Radio 1 playlisted To Die For and Where You At, the album is two barrels' worth of electrifying tunes and crackling 21st Century rock and roll.
The Bohicas are rock and roll painted in vivid primary colours. Hi def, loud, fast, shiny and above all fun. A barrage of killer hooks, razor blade riffs and choruses that slap you in the face, grab your hand and lead you onto the dance floor. All shot through with pulp imagery torn from the pages of a graphic novel.
'The Making Of' was produced by Mark Rankin (Queens Of The Stone Age, Bombay Bicycle Club), Chris 'Merrick' Hughes (Tears For Fears, Adam And The Ants) and Oli Bayston (Toy, Boxed In).
The Bohicas are Dominic McGuinness, drummer Brendan Heaney, guitarist Dominic John and bassist Adrian Acolatse. The Bohicas' story began in Essex where, as schoolmates, McGuinness, Heaney and John first came together over a love of The Beatles, The Kinks, Ray Charles and the new wave of guitar bands who emerged at the start of the century after the scrag ends of Britpop had finally limped off.
'The Making Of' will be available on CD, vinyl and digitally. In addition, the album will also be released in two special formats - the Deluxe Edition will feature a bonus 7" single featuring In The Mood and Rewind Replay, and will be available from Domino Mart and select indies. The same two tracks will also feature on the iTunes Bonus Track Edition.
The album's artwork was created by illustrator Tomer Hanuka. "The immediacy and impact of Tomer's style marries perfectly to how we want our music to sound," explains McGuinness. "The subject of most of the songs is a boy longing for a girl. We thought the cover should be inviting and dangerous so we asked Tomer to draw someone who is about to fuck off into the future and this is your chance to join her."
'The Making Of' tracklisting:
1. I Do It For Your Love
2. To Die For
3. Only You
4. Girlfriend
5. The Making Of
6. Where You At
8. Swarm
9. Red Raw
10. Upside Down and Inside Out
11. Somehow You Know What I Mean
iTunes Bonus Tracks / Bonus 7"
12. In The Mood
13. Rewind Replay
Recent months have seen The Bohicas return home for their Swarm Over Essexxx tour and play a scintillating sold out four-night residency at The Social. Currently embarking upon a headline tour including a London date at Oslo on June 4th, the band will also be playing major festivals across the UK and Europe this summer.

Patrick Watson | 27/05/15
Acclaimed Canadian artist Patrick Watson confirms new U.S. and European fall tour dates in support of his new album Love Songs for Robots (out now via Domino Records). The tour will now run through December, concluding with dates in New York City (at Irving Plaza) and Philadelphia (Under Ground Arts). The first of his US Love Songs For Robots dates is tonight, at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC.
In celebration of the commencement of the US tour, Patrick Watson is pleased to share a video for "Hearts", recorded at a secret album release show in Montreal recently. Watch the video below.
In addition, KCRW yesterday featured previous single "Places You Will Go" as "Today's Top Tune"—a preview to Watson's upcoming appearance on KCRW's "Morning Becomes Eclectic" on June 5.
Love Songs for Robots continues to receive widespread critical acclaim:
"Expansive and intricate…"—NPR Music
"Passionate…as nearly hallucinatory as it is pleasing to the ears."—The FADER
"Otherworldly…Simply put, Love Songs for Robots is gorgeous."—Boston Globe
"Watson's voice exists in that airy, impossible realm that seems
more spiritual than physical in form."—Stereogum
"Watson has outdone himself."—Paste
The music was recorded at Capitol Studios in Los Angeles and Pierre Marchand Studio in Montreal. Of the record, some of which debuted at private concerts in small loft spaces, Watson explains, "I wanted to make a science fiction R n' B meets Vangelis erotica with a zest of folk kind of record." It was only halfway through writing the record when the artist found himself having, by his own submission, "a bad year" did more personal themes begin to creep in. "I started thinking about how emotional reactions were more mechanical than we think and the only thing left between us and artificial intelligence is the act of inspiration. Just food for thought." Watch the official video for "Places You Will Go" here.
Watson composes, performs and records his albums with his full band of almost a decade, which includes Joe Grass (guitars), Robbie Kuster (drums/percussion) and Mishka Stein (bass). The recipient of Canada's elite Polaris Music Prize in 2007, Watson and his band have performed to over 100,000 people at the 2009 Montreal Jazz Festival as well as with full orchestras in Amsterdam and Montreal. Raised and still living in Montreal, Watson himself has composed 15 scores for both film and television, including a trailer for "The Walking Dead" and Wim Wenders' new 3D film "Everything Will Be Fine", where he performed the songs "Cynical World" (an original for the film) and "Lighthouse."
Love Songs For Robots is available on iTunes. The vinyl edition comes with an additional 7", featuring a non-album track, and can be along with the CD on the Domino Mart.

Ducktails | 21/05/15
Ducktails, a.k.a. Matt Mondanile, is pleased to today share the video for new single "Headbanging In The Mirror". Directed by Rose Schlossberg, the video was shot in and around Los Angeles, Mondanile's recently adopted habitué. The clip visually encapsulates the graceful wistfulness of the song as he ventures across the landscapes of southern California in solitude.
The recently announced new album, St. Catherine, Matt Mondanile's fifth outing as Ducktails, will be released worldwide on July 24th. The album emerges from the roots of Mondanile's previous work, from the free-form, ambient bedroom experiments of seminal underground release Landscapes (2009), to 2013's eighties pop re-imagination The Flower Lane, but ultimately moves Ducktails on to a more refined, personal and sincere place.
St. Catherine is a finely-honed collection of baroque pop songs that take the blissful, cascading melodic fretwork that Mondanile has made his signature with both Ducktails and his other band, Real Estate, and applies it to songs of considerable new emotional heft and dynamic range.
St. Catherine will be available on July 24th on CD, digitally, standard edition LP, and on limited edition coloured vinyl LP through Dom Mart. St. Catherine is available through Dom Mart HERE and through iTunes HERE.
Ducktails will be touring Europe and North America with his band throughout the summer. All dates are below, including new West Coast dates announced today.

Everything I Am Is Yours will be the next single released from Villagers' acclaimed new album Darling Arithmetic, with an impact date of 29th June. The accompanying video was directed by Jamie Thraves (Radiohead, Sam Smith, Blur).
Echoing the song's tender depth, the Everything I Am Is Yours video sees Conor O'Brien as the soundtracking leader of a lovelorn protagonist in search of solace with O'Brien himself becoming emotionally and physically connected to his every move.
Darling Arithmetic is the follow-up to Conor O'Brien's debut, Becoming a Jackal, and its successor, Awayland - both hugely acclaimed and each nominated for The Mercury Music Prize. It's a breathtakingly beautiful, intimate album entirely about love and relationships. For more information on Darling Arithmetic visit the album's microsite HERE.

Panda Bear has shared a new video for Panda Bear Meets The Grim Reaper track 'Come To Your Senses'. Watch it below or over at GorillavsBear as Noah Lennox is guest editing the site today. This follows the videos for previous PBVSGR tracks "Mr. Noah," "Boys Latin," and most recently "Tropic of Cancer." Also, listen to the recent remix of "Come To Your Senses" done by PC Music affiliate Danny L Harle below.
Lennox says of the Sam Fleischner-directed video shot in Lisbon where Lennox resides, "Rua da Rosa is the narrow but main street cut through the Bairro Alto neighborhood here in Lisbon. Visitors mainly stock the area during the day but it's perhaps the principle target for partying Lisbon teenagers Thursday through Sunday nights. The constant shifts make it a particularly fascinating neighbourhood to me. It's noisy except for Sunday mornings. I'd had an idea for a while to shoot the street for a bit to catch the traffic. When my friend Sam was here shooting a short thing we made for the recent album he was game to give the idea a go."

Ducktails | 05/05/15
Unfurling out of Los Angeles this July comes St. Catherine, Matt Mondanile's fifth outing as Ducktails. The new album emerges from the roots of Mondanile's previous work, from the free-form, ambient bedroom experiments of seminal underground release Landscapes (2009), to 2013's eighties pop re-imagination The Flower Lane, but ultimately moves Ducktails on to a more refined, personal and sincere place.
St. Catherine is a finely-honed collection of baroque pop songs that take the blissful, cascading melodic fretwork that Mondanile has made his signature with both Ducktails and his other band, Real Estate, and applies it to songs of considerable new emotional heft and dynamic range.
Mondanile partially wrote and recorded St. Catherine over the course of 2014 and then finished off recording at the start of 2015. The longest time he has ever spent working on a record, it took place in bedrooms and studios predominantly in east LA and Glendale, but venturing as far as Berlin and New York as Mondanile worked on tracks around heavy periods of Real Estate touring.
When Mondanile finally settled back in LA at the start of 2015, it was Rob Schnapf, co-producer of Elliott Smith's classic albums XO and Either/Or, that he turned to in order to help put the finishing touches to St. Catherine. Together, the pair added a new crispness and punch to the record's more upbeat, psychedelic pop tracks (such as James Ferraro-featuring, lolloping lead single "Headbanging In The Mirror", and the soaring "Into The Sky"), that recalls the artful muscularity of Smith's later work, whilst title track, the heavenly "St. Catherine" boasts one of Mondanile's greatest ever lead guitar lines and benefits greatly from Schnapf's warm, rich feel.
Where St. Catherine impresses even moreso, however, is when Mondanile steps out of his comfort zone, as he does frequently and with great success. The Julia Holter-featuring "Church" and "Heaven's Room", tracks which see Mondanile flex his muscles as a composer and arranger, introducing complex, interlocking vocal harmonies, gorgeously sweeping string parts (provided by Chris Votek and Andrew Tholl) and a host of off-kilter electronic elements into his sonic palate - channelling the likes of Broadcast, and Stereolab but with a younger, wide-eyed sensibility.
St. Catherine will be available on July 24th on CD (WIG361CD), Digitally (WIG361D), standard edition LP (WIGLP361) and on limited edition coloured vinyl LP (WIGLP361X) through Dom Mart. St. Catherine is available through Dom Mart HERE and through iTunes HERE.

These seat covers fit my 2014 Ram 1500 extremely well. They take some doing to get installed, but that's because they fit so snug. I'd recommend these to anyone, and I have. They look almost like factory fabric and the red I got really pops!

Artistic director Tessa Wills on the wide-ranging, boundary-busting This Is What I Want performance festival
THEATER Since 2010, This Is What I Want has hitched its program to the National Queer Arts Festival to explore the artistic and social ground between intimacy and performance. Privileging the immediate, even confused elaborations of desire over the canny or slickly theorized, TIWIW (produced by THEOFFCENTER in association with SOMArts, the Center for Sex and Culture, and the Queer Cultural Center) challenges adept, professional performance makers to risk forgoing the usual control or cohesion in the hope of finding new avenues for creation and participation.Read more »
After a hectic Pride weekend, it's about time to slow down. A Sat/30 performance-workshop (part of this week's stellar This Is What I Want performance art fest -- read Guardian theater critic Robert Avila's enlightening interview with artistic director Tessa Wills here) should fit the bill nicely. Introducing "Slow Sex Symposia" and its curator, internationally-acclaimed writer and dancer Doran George. George is planning an afternoon exploration into alternative sexual practices, lifestyles, and unique relationships. Slow sex is a term the artist coined to serve as counterpoint to today's fast-paced, commercialized notions of sex. Last week, George and I spoke about what it was like to work with a blockbuster lineup of artist, "the economics of queer desire," and a childhood solo of "Yankee Doodle." Read more »

Section Of South Main Street Closed Following AccidentMonday, March 2, 2015 at 8:14 am
The driver of a passenger vehicle escaped serious injury Monday morning after the vehicle she was driving rear-ended a tanker truck with a load of gasoline.
The accident occurred just north of the intersection of South Main Street (Route 25) and Pecks Lane, around 6:20 am. The vehicle, a dark colored Toyota sedan, hit the rear of the tanker hard enough to dislodge some of the tanker's couplings. Pieces dropped off the truck for approximately 100 yards. The impact created a break in the tank, and gasoline began spilling, initially reported at approximately a gallon a minute.

FOX Sports Exclusive
Fans take part in Media Day fun
If a Super Bowl ticket is too big a hit to your wallet, Media Day is here to save you.
STEP RIGHT UPThe annual Super Bowl Media Day always turns into a circus.
For the first time ever, the NFL offered fans a chance to purchase tickets to the annual pre-Super Bowl event, giving thousands of people an extra opportunity to get close to the big-game hoopla.
The tickets went for $25 each and sold out within days. The NFL limited attendance to 7,300 fans.
Fans were also given a gift bag that included a headset radio, which could be tuned to various channels to correspond to whatever player or coach they wanted to hear.
"It's been really fun to tune in and listen to a lot of the players," said Nancy Haas, an Indianapolis resident. "Obviously most people are listening to (Giants quarterback) Eli (Manning) right now. It's been a lot of fun."
- Super Bowl XLVI: 6:30 p.m. ET, Sunday
- Manning family vs. Brady
- Super Bowl Cheat Sheet
- Patriots' Kraft still hurting
- Belichick needs to secure legacy
- Billick's matchups and storylines
- Jacobs savors another Super Bowl
- Eli's leap could come in Peyton's place
- Super Bowl odds a mix of science, art
- Giants linebacker a true inspiration
- Ochocinco has 86'd 'me' attitude
- Reason for Giants' turnaround
- Giants' Coughlin forging a legacy
- High price of the Super Bowl
- Not about Boston vs. New York
- Picks, predictions
Many in the pro-Colts crowd said they'd be rooting for Eli — brother of Colts quarterback and local icon Peyton Manning — and his Giants in Sunday's game.
The radio interaction led to some fun moments. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady noted the large number of Colts jerseys in the crowd, drawing a loud cheer.
"Oh, you can hear me up there?" Brady said. "I did not know that."
The addition of fans seemed to go over well with the players as well.
"I love it," Giants linebacker Michael Boley said. "For the fans to actually come out, they get to see us not only after the week, but they get to see us throughout the week as well."
Fans were restricted to the lower deck on one side of the field, facing the media booths. Concession and merchandise stands were open for business in the concourse. All that was missing was the game.
Tickets to the Super Bowl itself were going for more than $2,000, making Media Day a much more appealing option for many local fans whose team finished at the bottom of the NFL standings this season.
"If the Colts were playing, I would've gotten tickets," said Julie Moran, also from Indianapolis. "I wouldn't pay that much money for (another team)."

Back in the late 1960s, Ocean City was the holy grail of hangouts for young teenagers in Salisbury. Before we were old enough to drive, we would scrounge for quarters to use as fare for the green-and-white buses that made the 30-mile trek to the resort several times daily from downtown Salisbury.
In old Ocean City, the rides were not high-tech or fancy, but we didn't know any better. We had the Wild Mouse, a box-shaped roller coaster-style affair that carried riders to the top of the box, then back and forth across the top before dropping down and beginning a short but exciting ride back to the ...

Horizontal Farm / AMA
Designed by Architetto Matteo Ascani (AMA), their horizontal farm proposal is a flowing architecture system where the farming world meets the Indian slum in New Dehli. The project aims to create a balanced mix with farms, working areas and housing to improve the living conditions for the inhabitants. By doing this, their design is able to avoid the slum situations to enhance the micro-economy. 'Farmandala' also provides an urban scale development, involving the street life and a territorial scale development based on vertical flowing connections. This is done by means of ramps that climb shops, farms and the recycle factory connecting to walking trails in the fields on the top of the hills.

Safety experts question why, given what's seen in the tests and the hundreds of reported incidents, it took Ford so long to admit the problem with the Windstar's axle.
"Ford once again is another automaker trying to fight off a costly recall at the expense of the American public," said Clarence Ditlow, executive director of the Center for Auto Safety. "There's no reason why these vehicles couldn't have been recalled earlier and spare the public who knows what in how many crashes and deaths."
The government video of the Windstar test has now been put on line by Justine Bowman, in hopes that word will spread.
"I felt like I had to do this," said Bowman. "I know, I've lived it, I need to make sure that people are aware and nobody else gets hurt."
In a statement, a Ford spokesperson said the automaker's evaluations at the time of of NHTSA's investigation led to the conclusion that "a rear axle fracture was not expected to result in loss of vehicle control, and the likelihood of a related accident or injury was extremely low."
Said Justine Bowman, "Having my oldest daughter come to me and tell me, 'I just want to hug him and I can't. I will never get to hug him again'-- It's not right. It could have been prevented."
However, said the spokesperson, "When Ford received more recent allegations of additional accidents in the summer of 2010, we re-evaluated the potential effect of rear axle fracture and decided to conduct a safety recall."
So far, only about 15 percent of the Windstar vans affected by the recall have been brought in to be fixed.
