Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) are abnormal communications between pulmonary veins and arteries [1]. Alternative names include pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae, pulmonary arteriovenous aneurysms, cavernous angiomas of the lung, and pulmonary telangiectases [2]. PAVM are uncommon, but they are an important consideration in the differential diagnosis of common pulmonary problems, including hypoxemia, pulmonary nodules, and hemoptysis.
Indications for diagnostic testing, the available diagnostic tests, and an approach to the diagnostic evaluation of suspected PAVM are reviewed here. The epidemiology, etiology, pathology, clinical features, and treatment of PAVM are discussed separately. (See "Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations: Epidemiology, etiology, pathology, and clinical features".)
PAVM should be suspected and a diagnostic evaluation initiated in individuals with one or more of the following characteristics:
●One or more pulmonary nodules on a chest x-ray are suspicious for PAVM. The features of a pulmonary nodule that make it suspicious for a PAVM are described separately.
●Stigmata of right-to-left shunting, such as dyspnea, hypoxemia, polycythemia, clubbing, cyanosis, cerebral embolism, or a brain abscess.

Business Analyst Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3+ months – interviewed at Deloitte (Atlanta, GA) in May 2015.
First round included a behavioral interview and a case interview over the phone. Each last about half an hour and included time for questions. The behavioral was based off of information on your resume, and the case was similar to the practice cases found on the Deloitte website. I found out if I passed on to the final interview a few days later.
The final interview was in Atlanta and consisted of a one hour long case interview with a partner and senior manager. It was straight forward and again similar to cases practiced online.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days – interviewed at Deloitte (Washington, DC) in April 2015.
The hiring process was fair, expedient, and more laid-back than expected. The two case studies were done with high-level consultants, and the in-person behavioral was done by a partner. It is best to stay relaxed and make it conversational; I did not have a heavy business background so I used personality and a general knowledge to impress.

Applied through college career center. Process consisted of a behavioral interview as well as a case interview as part of the first round. Behavioral interview included typical questions, such as walking through your resume and discussing past experiences. Case study portion was fairly simple if you've done some research on the format of this type of interview (I recommend reading through Case and Point - it was a great resource).

I applied through college or university – interviewed at Deloitte.
First-round interviews were on campus, and consist of two 30-minute cases. The cases are fairly standard. In at least one they'll give you a series of exhibits with graphs and tables, and ask you to come to draw a conclusion or recommendation from the data. The final round interviews consist of, again, only two interviews, except this time they're 45-60 min. long. One is behavioral while the other is a case.

Deloitte Consulting has a relatively quick hiring process. I was alerted about the first-round interview around 10 days before interview date. The hiring managers were very nice and professional as were the greeters and interviewers. The interview itself consisted of one 30 minute behavioral interview and one 30 minute case. A lot depends a lot upon the interviewers you get. It seems that some perform the behavioral portion differently, some asking more broad questions and others asking more specific questions. The case portion of the interview was relatively straight forward but went by very quickly, so make sure to communicate clearly what you can in the short time you have.
Interview Questions
- The behavioral interviewer asked very specific questions about situations and examples of leadership, specifically asking about examples of leadership besides significant ones already present on my resume. Answer Question
- I was surprised about the amount of time allotted for me to ask the interviewers questions. Particularly in the case interview, there was time for me to ask the interviewer several questions before I moved on to the behavioral portion of the interview. Answer Question

Preparing for a taste sensation: getting our Live Science Team ready for Flavour Lab!
Blogging science to life
Thu 3 July 2014, Alice
Live Lab is about to get all tasty: as part of our ever-changing programming, Flavour Lab is due to launch on Tuesday 8 July, and this activity allows visitors to get hands-on and mouths-on! We go behind the scenes with Live Lab Officer Alice Barber to take a look at the recipe for success...
Whenever we have a change to Live Lab there's always a lot of work behind the scenes in At-Bristol to get everything ready to go. We've just spent a fortnight training our team of 14 science communicators on the new Flavour Lab activities so that we are all ready to inspire our visitors! Everyone in the Live Science Team has one hour in the classroom to have a go at the experiments just like a visitor would; we run through Flavour Lab in small groups to make sure we can feel really confident about how the activities will work.
Robbie, Will and Rich get to grips with some complex flavours!
We also held an early morning training sessions before At-Bristol opens on the science of flavour, so that the Live Science Team are familiar with the science covered in Flavour Lab. This was just one in our series of ten morning training sessions in the run-up to the launch of our newe exhibition, Food!, on 23 July, so that our team in red shirts can have plenty of conversations with visitors about wheat, bees, or growing your own. So even when the At-Bristol doors are closed, we might still be inside talking about science!
Finally there's one more hour of training for everyone on our 'Lab Bench' activities which are more in-depth experiments designed for visitors aged seven and over. We all get a turn with the electric whisk!
Kerina whips up some treats!
Do say hello when you are next in At-Bristol - our Live Science Team love chatting with our visitors! Or if you're not coming to see us soon, you can keep in touch with the team on twitter @AtBristol_LST.
Thanks to Alice for writing this blog! Flavour Lab launches in Live Lab on Tuesday 8 July, and will be running until 29 September.

National Women in Engineering Day!
Blogging science to life
Mon 23 June 2014, Leire Eguiluz, Rolls-Royce
National Women in Engineering Day!
In celebration of National Women in Engineering Day, we catch up with Leire Eguiluz, an Engineering Graduate Trainee with Rolls-Royce, to get the low down on how she got into engineering.
She recently took part in Ships Ahoy!, a joint project between At-Bristol and Rolls-Royce encouraging families to take part in some boat building challenges.
(Image credit: Lee Pullen)
How did you get in to engineering? / What first attracted you to it?
Since I was very young I have been particularly interested in subjects like science and maths because I have always liked to know the reasons for everything around me. When I moved to the High School we had for the first time a subject called "Technology", it was science applied for practical purposes and I found it really interesting.
When I finished my A Levels I was hesitating between Physics and Mechanical Engineering for my university studies, but finally I decided to choose the second one because I thought that it was the clear example of the application of science into the everyday life. Moreover I knew that the potential career options of this degree were very varied and extensive, so it was as well a good way to assure a good future professional career. Additionally after finishing my Mechanical Engineering degree in Spain I came to Cranfield University in UK to study an Msc in Thermal Power (Aerospace Propulsion speciality) with a double degree programme because I wanted to specialise in gas turbines and at the same time have an international experience.
What do you do in your current job?
This is my first job (I started on January 2014). I am an Engineering Gradate Trainee with Rolls-Royce. I am in my second placement in Service Engineering (Defence Aerospace) and my first one was in Design (Marine), both in Bristol. I am planning to do my third one in Norway (manufacturing in marine as well) and the last one will be "Design and Make".
(Image credit: Lee Pullen)
Describe an average working day?
I do most of my work in the office, but sometimes I do some visits to the shop floor, which I find very interesting because it gives me the opportunity to see the practical application of what is defined and discussed in the office. This helps me also to understand better the different parts of the engine, how do these interact and the reasons why these sometimes fail. In my company it is also very important to continuously talk to other people to ask for information, for help or to agree common purposes because communication is one of the main keys in industry as well. The working atmosphere is nice and the company is quite flexible with the arrangement of the working hours as long as we meet our objectives, so usually I can organise my work in the way that is more efficient and convenient for me.
You recently took part in our Ships Ahoy project – tell us a little bit about it
I joined the project quite at the end, so I was impressed by all the ideas that my colleagues had for it. One of the reasons why I liked it is because it was a very good way to introduce children and their parents into what we do in the marine business. Usually all these kind of events are focused on the aerospace sector (explanation of the principle of thrust or lift…), so this project gave us also the opportunity to show them that we also have a marine business with lots of interesting opportunities. It was great to notice the high interest and enthusiasm of children and their parents to learn more about boats, why do these float, when they are stable and what the best design to increase their speed is.
(Image credit: Lee Pullen)
Do you have any advice for anyone looking at a career in engineering?
Something I would say to anybody looking at a career in engineering is that they have lots of career opportunities in many areas. Furthermore engineering does not only give you the opportunity to understand scientific principles and find solutions for emerging problems, but also gives you the opportunity to explore the world, travel and know new people of different places. Therefore I think that all the effort of studying an engineering degree is absolutely worth due to the future professional career that this guarantees and also all the personal experiences that this offers.
Many thanks to Leire for answering our questions!

Fantastic Feast: Anton Edelmann
Blogging science to life
Wed 17 September 2014, Heather
We're looking forward to celebrating the imminent launch of our new Food exhibition (opening 23 July) at tomorrow's Fantastic Feast fundraising dinner – and especially exciting is that the menu has been crafted by one of the Savoy's most well-known and celebrated maître chefs des cuisines, Anton Edelmann, who'll be on hand to introduce each of his specially-designed courses. But who exactly is our guest of honour?
Anton Edelmann (image: BBC)
Born in Germany, Edelmann worked in his uncle's hotel during school holidays, sparking a lifelong passion for food and cooking. He first worked at the Savoy in 1971, before progressing through London's fine dining scene, including stints at The Dorchester and Grosvenor House hotels. He returned to the Savoy some 11 years after first working there – but this time as maître chef des cuisines, in charge of one of the capital's most famous kitchens.
During his 21 years at the helm, he not only revolutionised the hotel's cuisine, introducing his own French-influenced cooking style, but also amassed a wealth of interesting stories – including packing a luxury hamper for Jeffrey Archer whilst in prison, only to be disappointed when his smoked salmon and foie gras package was refused by guards!
Anton Edelmann is renowned for being both an innovative chef and an engaging entertainer, so we can't wait to welcome him tomorrow and hear more fascinating tales of what really goes on behind the closed doors of some of the world's most notorious kitchens...
For more information on tomorrow's Fantastic Feast, email us on firstname.lastname@example.com, or call us on 0117 915 1000. Our new Food exhibition launches on 23 July – find out more here!
National Volunteers' Week: Fianzo Smith-Clarke
Blogging science to life
Mon 9 June 2014,
Last week (1-7 June 2014) was National Volunteers' Week and we followed five of our volunteers over the week to hear about what they do when they're volunteering with At-Bristol and their drive behind helping an educational charity and science centre.
We've got one more from Fianzo Smith-Clarke who's done a whopping 200+ hours with us, here's more:
Q. Tell us a little bit about how you got involved with At-Bristol
I've always been interested in science from when i was younger, so like any child that likes science in Bristol, I loved visiting At-Bristol and before it was built , the Exploratory. In fact at 17 visiting the learning labs and doing gel electrophoresis made me decide to study biochemistry at university out of the courses I was considering.
Q. Why did you decide to volunteer and how long have you been doing it?
When I moved back to Bristol after university and acquired some free time I wanted to do something related to science with my free time and thought of At-Bristol so checked the website and went from there. I've done over 200+ hours with At-Bristol so far. My first few sessions were working with the live science team but for the most part I help run workshops with the formal learning team.
Q. What do you enjoy about volunteering with At-Bristol?
As cliché as it sounds, the kids really make it enjoyable. Especially when you can tell they've taken in what you've been telling them the best thing you can hear is 'That's cool'. Even the older students that don't see themselves as kids you still see them getting a genuine enjoyment out of it. With a varied number of workshops you get to work with several different age ranges and different groups of children. For example while working with the home study group, I worked with 3 very shy little girls that initially would barely talk to each other, that ended the session by giving an outloud presentation on the group. I also had a little girl sit there and listen to me explain plate tectonics for 5 minutes before looking up at me and saying "I don't eat bacon", which granted wasn't the reaction I was looking for but it did make me laugh. Even working with the 16+ students you have a lot of opportunities to build a rapport.
The staff you work with here are great from the first day you work with them they make you feel comfortable and many of them go the extra mile to help you get as much as you can out of your volunteering experience.
Q. What would you say to others to encourage them to volunteer whether with At-Bristol or elsewhere?
It makes a difference, I like to think I've added to the enjoyment of a lot of children that come to at Bristol and the workshops run smoother with added help that without volunteers wouldn't be possible. The main reason I'd volunteer with At-Bristol, is that science is incredibly important to the world we live in and At-Bristol is outstanding at showing kids just how much fun it can be. If I convince one child to take more of an interest in science then I feel my time volunteering has been worth it.

National Volunteers' Week: Jon Davies
Blogging science to life
Fri 6 June 2014,
This week (1-7 June 2014) is National Volunteers' Week and as an educational charity, we use the generous support of many volunteers in all areas of At-Bristol from school workshops, events we run, helping in the venue during busy times, community open days and outreach events like Cheltenham Science Festival. Throughout the year, our volunteers put in hundreds of hours between them and we wanted to give an insight into a few of them this week - as well as saying a big THANK YOU for all the amazing work they do!
Today we hear from Jon Davies, who manages to fit in volunteering across a range of At-Bristol departments whilst working full-time here too!

Tell us a little about how you got involved with At-Bristol
In September 2013 I had just finished my MSc in Biomedical Sciences and really had no idea what steps to take next. I was working in a bar and saw a job advertised in At-Bristol and thought I'd go for it, despite knowing I didn't have nearly the right kind of experience. However, when I didn't get the job, the lovely HR team pointed me in the direction of the volunteering team and I signed up straight away. This led me to getting a job with the visitor services team over winter, working on the ice rink as a team leader, and now I work in the STEM Learning department, organising professional development for teachers and science technicians.
Why did you decide to volunteer and how long have you been doing it?
I wanted to volunteer because I'd enjoyed visiting so much when I was interested in the job I'd applied for. The staff were so lovely and welcoming and I genuinely have a huge passion for science; it's what I want to do for the rest of my life. I hadn't even considered a career in science communication, but as soon as I stepped inside the front doors, a whole new world opened up to me and I knew I wanted to be involved. So, in total I have been volunteering for nine months, even whilst having a full time job here. In that time, I have done around 130 hours of voluntary work and that's spread evenly between the formal and informal teams, with occasional outreach projects and community days.
What do you enjoy about volunteering with At-Bristol?
I love the camaraderie that all the staff and volunteers have here. Everyone is incredibly lovely, and nice and friendly. Sometimes I wonder if I've stumbled into a cult because everyone is so nice! It's a very surreal but wonderful working environment. You feel useful, wanted and above all part of the family. They don't mind if you can only commit a couple of hours here or two whole days over there. Every donation of your time is seen as valuable and the team always thanks you for it and makes their appreciation clear. The variety of different projects you can get involved with is fantastic, from working with SEN children, toddler days or home educators. Every volunteering experience is different and each one is really fun.
What would you say to other to encourage them to volunteer whether with at Bristol or elsewhere?
Just do it! Volunteering for ANY organisation is incredible, fun and rewarding. Being proactive in today's society is what it's all about: getting out there, lending a hand and physically doing something really does change the world. Here in At-Bristol you are part of an incredibly dedicated team who genuinely want to enable more people from all walks of life to feel like they have a place where they can still learn something about science. Science should be accessible to everybody. We inspire young children, we fuel imaginations and we facilitate learning through exploration. On a more selfish note, it's one of the most fun experiences and the steepest learning curves you'll ever have!

It's difficult to mistake Chuck Schumer, the New York senator, for a non-Jew. But referring to him as "that Jew"—not cool, Zeus, or, in this case, Kim Hendren, an Arkansas Republican running for U.S. Senate. The story from the AP:
State Sen. Kim Hendren told The Associated Press on Thursday that he was wrong to refer to Schumer's religious affiliation during a Pulaski County Republican Committee meeting last week. Hendren said he doesn't remember the exact wording of his comment, but he was quoted by conservative blogger Jason Tolbert as calling Schumer "that Jew."
"I ought not to have referred to it at all," Hendren told the AP. "When I referred to him as Jewish, it wasn't because I don't like Jewish people."
Uh huh. I'm sure some of Hendren's best friends are Jewish.
What a gaffe. Doesn't Hendren know Jews rule American politics?

model wears a creation designed by German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel's spring-summer 2012 ready-to-wear collection
It was an underwater theme for Chanel at Paris Fashion Week. Models marched down the under the sea clad catwalk to live music by Florence and the Machines, in textured fabrics, which gave a subtle nod to coral, while more obvious wet look and sheer fabrics gave a feel of the sea.
The iconic black shift frock was transformed for Summer 2012 thanks to pearls, which continued into the collection appearing as the pull on the zipper of cardigans on belts around cocktail dresses and as buttons on boucle jackets.
Handbags were also touched with the underwater theme fashioned into shell shapes while the structured jackets and skirts were given a floaty transformation thanks to sheer creamy floaty fabrics. We heart this collection.

Critical Essay by Jeanne-Marie A. Miller
SOURCE: "Odets, Miller and Communism," in CLA Journal, Vol. XIX, No. 4, June, 1976, pp. 484-93.
In the following excerpt, Miller discusses Odets's Till the Day I Die and places it within the social and political contexts of its day.
Between the time of the October Revolution and the Stalin-Hitler Pact, many European and American literati were attracted to communism. Some chose communism at a definite time in history because they had lost faith in democracy and they wanted to defeat fascism. When Hitler came to power in Germany, the Soviet Union felt threatened, and out of this uneasiness came "a Russian foreign policy based on support of collective security measures against aggression." Communist parties then adopted the Popular Front, whose purpose was to create political coalitions of all anti-fascist groups. The Communists continued to be effective and consistent opponents of the rising power of Nazi Germany.
The conversion to communism of men of letters, often people of unusual sensitivity, expressed feelings sometimes shared by the inarticulate masses who felt that Russia was on the side of the working class. The compelling attraction of "an active comradeship of struggle involving personal sacrifice and abolishing differences of class and race"—was often too great to be resisted.
An American man of letters who joined the Communist party and used his pen to warn theatrical audiences against fascism was Clifford Odets. In 1935, in the midst of the Great Depression in America, Till the Day I Die was produced on Broadway and became one of the first serious anti-Nazi plays to reach the commercial theatre. This one-act play was suggested to Odets by a letter purporting to be from Nazi Germany. He had read this letter in The New Masses.
Using the expressionistic method, Odets divides his play into seven startling scenes. The action in Till the Day I Die takes place in Berlin in 1935, a time when Germany is undergoing economic distress. Ernst Tausig, a Communist working with the underground press, believes that the recently published leaflet will make the Nazis perspire once it gets into the workers' hands: "Workers might like to know the American embargo on German goods has increased 50% in the last six months." Wages are low, prices for vital foods have increased, and unemployment is widespread. The purpose of this underground newspaper is to inform the people of the real state of affairs in Germany. There is great distrust among the people, for the Nazis have infiltrated the ranks of the Communists, and Communist sympathizers, in turn, have joined the Nazi party.
The lives of the people in this troubled land have altered drastically. Ernst, once a violinist, has become an active member of the Communist underground in order to combat fascism. The party members, however, are full of hope. Ernst's dream of the world is for happy people everywhere:
I ask for hope in eyes: for wonderful baby boys and girls I ask, growing up strong and prepared for a new world. I won't ever forget the first time we visited the nursery in Moscow. Such faces on those children! Future engineers, doctors; when I saw them I understood most deeply what the revolution meant.
Because the times are not conducive to marriage, he and his fiance, Tillie, postpone theirs to a more favorable time. When the Secret Police enter their underground room, Tillie convinces them that she is a prostitute and Ernst is her customer. At the close of this scene, Odets employs the dramatic device of shrill whistles, variously pitched, which slow with hysterical intensity.
In a scene which takes place inside a Brown House where Ernst is taken as a prisoner, Odets shows some of the forms of Nazi brutality. Schlegel, the interrogator, asks Ernst, whom he knows to be a musician, to place his "sensitive hands" upon the desk, an action which is followed by the smashing of the prisoner's fingers with a rifle butt. This cruel act eventually results in the amputation of Ernst's right hand. The captured Communist, however, adamantly refuses to reveal the requested information to the Nazis. In the barracks the soldiers amuse themselves by seeing who, with the strongest blow to the head, can knock unconscious the unfortunate prisoners.
Major Duhring, a Nazi officer who is a Communist sympathizer, warns Ernst of the dangers he will encounter, for the Nazis are determined to obtain certain information from him, such as the names and addresses of party officials. They plan to beat Ernst savagely, nurse him back to health, and inform his comrades that he is a stool pigeon. They will place him next to the Nazi driver when they make raids and will stand him outside the courtroom when his friends are tried for treason. In order to carry out their plans, Ernst will be released immediately so that he can be followed by the Nazis who expect him to make contacts with other party members. Duhring advises Ernst to kill himself. Before long, Duhring and Schlegel have an encounter, and Schlegel is killed. Schlegel has investigated Duhring and found Jewish blood. Unknown to the others, Duhring has been destroying files containing valuable information. His parting words to Ernst echo the philosophy of the Popular Front. He tells Ernst to let the people work for a united front in every capitalist country in the world. After Ernst leaves, the major removes his Nazi arm band, tears the Nazi flag from the wall, and kills himself.
When Ernst goes to Tillie, he learns that she is pregnant with his child. Despite the present gloom there is hope—hope that even if the two adults are not fortunate enough to live to see "strange and wonderful things," their unborn child will live in a better world.
The Nazis follow the procedure outlined by the sympathetic major. Even though Ernst is not guilty, the Communist underground cannot afford to take chances on his doubtful status. Ernst, then, is blacklisted by his group. His brother Carl states fervently the belief of the party: "There is no brother, no family, no deeper mother than the working class." As the scene ends, Tillie slowly raises her hand to be counted among the affirmative voters who expel her lover from the party.
In the final scene, a sick, lonely, and desperate Ernst comes to see his brother, who appears convinced that Ernst is working for the Nazis. Ernst, broken in mind and body, makes a final attempt to clear himself of the spy charges—to clear himself before his lover, his brother, and his comrades. His recitation is a tale of horror, and he begs his brother to kill him. Carl, of course, refuses but tells Ernst that if he destroys himself, the world will know that he is innocent. Before putting the gun into his mouth and firing the shot that ends his life, Ernst exclaims that although their agony is real, they live in the joy of a great and coming people:
… The animal kingdom is past. Day must follow the night. Now we are ready: we have been steeled in a terrible fire, but soon all the desolate places of the world must flourish with human genius. Brothers will live in the soviets of the world! Yes, a world of security and freedom is waiting for all mankind!
Ernst remains faithful to his ideal, and the bitter drama closes on a note of hope.
Till the Day I Die met with disfavor from those who were not in sympathy with its theme. When the play was produced on the West Coast during the 1930's, Will Geer, who was affiliated with the production, was severely beaten by hoodlum sympathizers with the New Germany. In New York, Odets was forced to put a heavy lock on the door of his apartment. Some drama critics wrote unfavorable reviews of the play. Brooks Atkinson, for example, felt that Odets' communistic devotionals would best appeal to the party ear. If one wishes to register an emotional appeal against Nazi polity, declares Atkinson, Odets requires him to join the Communist party.
Despite its flaws, among them the scenes depicting Nazi brutality, Edith Isaacs writes that Till the Day I Die is "dramatic, honest, direct, mounting to its climax by a progress in characterization and a deepening of situation until there is no escape for either the man or the idea." When I reread the play after several years, I was touched by the poetic beauty of many of the lines in this otherwise stark drama.
Dissatisfaction with the economic and political situation in Germany caused the Communists to protest and engage in an active fight for a change. Increased military forces and the production of armaments were the basis of Hitler's economic recovery. Odets, in Till the Day I Die, implies that German Nazism, paralleled in capitalistic countries, was as great a threat to American hopes and integrity as it was to the German people. Odets felt that monopolistic capitalism was growing vicious or fascist. The struggle depicted in Till the Day I Die was for true democracy everywhere. As an artist as well as a social and political critic, Odets devised an expressionistic method that would arouse his audience to the dangers of fascism everywhere….

So after a bit of a lull in June and July I've really hit a glut of good to great new releases:
Stein Urheim - Stein Urheim: this one was on the Quietus' mid-year list, and is a wonderfully varied instrumental album which sees Urheim playing primarily acoustic guitar but with a variety of other acoustic, stringed instruments as well. There's a lot of percussion in there too, something which helps these 5 songs not meander too much (although "After the Festival" gets a bit too noodley for my tastes).
Yvette - Process: another Quietus pick; technically a 2013 album (it received a physical release this year), Process sounds like a long-lost collaboration between Liars and HEALTH as LOTS of these bands' signifiers can be heard throughout. These similarities made my first couple of listens a bit awkward, but the more I've dug into the album the more I can start to hear the band's unique qualities come out.
Heterotic - Weird Drift: a solid, if somewhat unspectacular, collection of synth and guitar pop songs which would appeal to fans of Tycho ("Rain," "Triumph"), Classix ("Florence"), and even some of the neu-R&B acts ("Amniotic" and "Boxes"). I think what keeps drawing me back is the variety of the songs, as while a lot of the tracks sound rather different from one another it's not so pronounced that it doesn't feel like the same band.
I realize I'm super late to the party, but I want to echo the earlier praise for Posse's Soft Opening, as it is fantastically melancholic indie pop, and for Under the Color of Official Right by Protomartyr. Same with Perfect Pussy and especially Dave Aju - "Clean Street" has been my fucking jam for the past two or three weeks.
Ty Segall's Manipulator doesn't feel like a new start as much as it does a culmination of what he's done to this point in his career, and I think it's one of the strongest and most consistent albums he's released.
There's a few others I've been enjoying but still need to dig into a bit more, including Leon Vynehall, Joey Anderson, SD Laika and Lee Gamble.
I've heard about half the FKA Twigs album at this point I think. The music's fine, very 2014 sounding. It's just...not music that compels me to rush out and see in concert.

The production of the FKA Twigs album reminds me an awful lot of a lot of witch house albums I have already heard. Like you said, it's fine, but to me it already feels kind of dated and sounds very samey throughout the whole album. The vocals are very nice, but just not strong enough. She stays in this weird mid range the entire time. It's possible it could grow on me, but I wasn't very excited about it and listening to the whole album felt like it took a really a time.

6/3/15 - Sufjan Stevens @ Dorothy Chandler // 7/15/15 - Shellac @ Regent // 7/31/15 - Melt Banana w/Torche @ Roxy
Mt initial impression - a very solid album but not as interesting/intriguing as EP2 - really hasn't changed much, but I certainly don't think it's as boring or bland as you guys are making it out to be. I also think that critics are perhaps letting the story/narrative influence their reviews a bit more than they should, and maybe that's setting some up for disappointment.
The debut self-titled from Royal Blood is a really solid record to enjoy. For it being just 2 guys they do a good job of looping the bass to mimic guitar sounds that generate heavy riffs. Songs like Out of the Black and Figure it Out are very mainstream friendly that mimic Queens of the Stone Age, Local H, and Jack White. I wouldn't call it a mind blowing record but Little Monster is an example of them busting out the loud grooves and making it sound like there's more than 2 people performing.
2015 Collaborative Playlist on Spotify.
Holy crap I love The Newest Pornographers! So much better than their past two albums. The opening three songs are hard to beat. The momentum drags a bit at the end, but even those moments are as good as the best moments on Together. I hope the energy carries through to their live show this fall. Last time I saw them (5 years ago, granted), Okkervil River blew them off the stage, as the NPs seemed to be phoning it in. This new one has me pumped up.
I am also really liking the new Bishop Allen record. As those of you that have been around here for a long time know, I was a huge proponent of BA in 04-06. Then they kind of went on hiatus and then the released a very lackluster album in Grrrrrrrrrr!!!!. This new one brings back a lot of what I like on Charm School and the best of the EPs they did in 2006. Still twee and precious, but the songs have movement and momentum and avoid the saccharine balladry that their last album leaned too heavily. Interestingly, they kind of adopted a Graceland-vibe that Vampire Weekend originally also had in the mid aughts.

I had never seen Okkervil River before, I remember Will Sheff wore this brown suit and I was like, "this dude looks like Napoleon Dynamite." I enjoyed them, they were quite good.
We're here to play some Mississippi Delta Blues. We're in a horrible depression, and I gotta admit - we're starting to like it.
I also really liked the new NP album, seems way more energetic and in line with some of their earlier releases.
Avi Buffalo's new one was a bit of a disappoint for me on first listen. Didn't have as many guitar earworms as the first and some of the lyrical material seems forced.
The Bug - Angels & Demons is a seething slap in the face of dub & grime.

The new album from Earth, Primitive and Deadly, is fantastic. Very heavy but not too droney like some of their previous work. Good balance between doom and drone on this one. There is also a slight psychedelic feel to it. It's definitely not for everyone but it's certainly not too abrasive for people not normally into metal.

Lose by Cymbals Eat Guitars is pretty good. It's got a fairly disparate sound, jumping between 90s indie/emo, acoustic rock stuff, guitar heroics and one song that sounds straight out of the 80s. There are no bad tracks on the record, but there is one absolute stunner. Place Names started as I was reading an article, and I immediately stopped reading and just fell in love with the song. I'm not going to bother describing it, because y'all should just listen to it.
I'm just finishing up Merchandise's new one, After the End. I didn't much care for their last two releases despite some bright spots, mostly because they sounded so thin and rigid. That has changed. The production is clean and big, and a real drummer livens things up quite a bit. The sound is drenched in Echo and the Bunnymen, The Smiths and Head on the Door-era The Cure. Like anything this referential, it lives or dies on the songs. They wrote a great batch here, catchy and emotive songs full of lush sounds, chiming guitars and shiny synths. I am surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

Quentin and Thomas, two French graphic designers, have created the ultimate homage to creative burgers with their website Fat & Furious Burger. The duo started creating random concoctions to avoid boredom with traditional lunches and it has led to creations such as the Hello Kitty burger, as well as a gold leafed tribute to James Bond (pictured above).
What makes this art so awesome? All their pieces are edible. For even more meaty masterpieces, check out Gangster Burger's menu.

Column as I see 'em …
It's not a good year to be a non-profit agency in Anderson County, at least for those who look to the fiscal court for funding.
For those dreaming of swimming pools and attracting tourists, it's not nearly as bad.
In the 2015-16 budget unanimously approved last Tuesday morning, non-profits took a significant hit to the tune of $22,000 less than they received in the budget about to expire at the end of this month.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 1/21/13
Look for lots of Harbaughs in New Orleans next week. Two of them will be working the sidelines in the Super Bowl. Oh, brother! John Harbaugh and his Baltimore Ravens set up a family reunion in the Big Easy, shutting down the New England Patriots 28-13 Sunday in the AFC championship game. Waiting for them will be his younger brother Jim and the San Francisco 49ers, who beat Atlanta 28-24 for the NFC title. It's the first Super Bowl matching siblings as head coaches. ''I'd like to think that our two teams are very similar,'' said John, who is a year older than Jim. ''I'd like to think when you look at those two teams, you are looking at mirror images of two football teams.'' What the Ravens (13-6) are looking at is their first Super Bowl in 12 years, thanks to three touchdown passes from Joe Flacco and a defense led by Ray Lewis that made Tom Brady look downright ordinary. It will be quite a last game for Lewis, the emotional linebacker who will retire after the matchup with the...

With the rise of social media comes the truncation of communcation. Our interactions with individuals continues to get smaller and smaller. Now with Twitter being all the rage (and rightly so), our interactions (at least via Twitter) are limited to 140 characters. This doesn't give us a lot of space to say what we have to say. So, when you include a link in your Tweets, it needs to be as short as possible. So, I thought I'd give you a quick list of good URL shorteners.
There are numerous URL shortening services out there but I thought I wouldn't overload you with options, and just give you four good suggestions.
With Bit.ly you can save all of the shortened URLs you create. This tools tracks the conversations that include your shortened URL. You can view the number of clicks from each source as well. Very handy!
Cligs provides real-time traffic stats, along with geographic data on users who click on your shortened URL. You can see the number of Delicious saves. These URLs are search engine friendly and they are fully customizable.
Budurl claims that they are most the most powerful click stats tracking available. I can neither support nor dispute this claim. However, you can customize your shortened URLs and track your clicks and stats. However, to get a deeper level of stats, you can upgrade to a paid account with Budurl. This just depends on how detailed you need your stats to be.
With tr.im you can customize your shortened URLs, and you can track the number of clicks generated by your shortened URLs.
Question: what do all of these have in common (besides shortening URLs)? They can all track the performance of your shortened URLs. You obviously have a purpose for your social media endevours (you should!) and these tools will help you gage your success at generating clicks to your blog or starting conversations.
This article is short and sweet… I'm staying with the theme of keeping things short! But if you are using Twitter, Facebook or any other site with limited character space, you need to short your URLs! These are a few helpful tools to shorten your URLs but also track the effectiveness of your social media strategies.

KPMG's International Case Competition (KICC) is a chance for students to challenge yourself to solve a real business issue and an opportunity to meet new people across the globe.
However, with 90 percent of the city sitting below sea level, Rotterdam faces significant obstacles to stay afloat in the face of sea-level rise and flooding brought on by climate change.2 The city is turning this challenge into an opportunity to become a global leader of water and adaptation innovation through its mission to become '100 percent climate proof' by 2025.
Rotterdam is steering its climate adaptation initiatives with public engagement, cutting-edge research from its local institutions, and subsidies to incentivize 'green' practices among its 600,000 occupants. A central objective is the 50 percent reduction of harmful CO2 emissions by 2025.2
To that end, sustainable transportation policy has given cyclists right of way in traffic, with separated paths to privilege bicycles.4 In an effort to support rooftop gardens, which absorb CO2 and rain, and reduce the urban island temperature effect, the city offers a 50 percent subsidy for their construction. Since 2008, there has been an average of 40,000 square meters of rooftop gardens constructed per year.5
To control the future effects of extreme flooding the city has invested in a range of innovative rainwater storage solutions. For instance, a newly built parking garage incorporates a 10,000 cubic-meter underground rainwater store.6 Another solution involves stratified public squares that serve both as community centers and water stores during heavy weather. New floating communities on the waterside near the coast are not only architecturally innovative but also attractive to new businesses.7

30 year old woman | Arlington, TX, USA | Seeking men 26-35 within 75 miles
I'm always happy and people love my smile...
Hi there, my name is Jessica. That seems like a good place to begin. I'm a happy, positive, extrovert that enjoys pretty much anything. I enjoy traveling and being outdoors--hiking, biking, running, gardening, etc. I also love dressing to the nines for a night out on the town with friends, spending days inside art museums, and wine tasting, to name a few. I also love hanging out in coffee shops, riding on the back of a motorcycle along the coast, dancing around grocery store aisles while listening to my iPod, spending the day at the zoo with my nieces and nephew, flying kites at the beach, etc. I like to enjoy life, without taking it too seriously. And I'm not opposed to staying home reading a good book, teaching myself how to play my guitar, watching movies or football, listening to great music, and/or cuddling. ;-) I moved to Arlington, TX in July 2014 to teach English at UT Arlington. I'm originally from Washington State, but I'm enjoying the little corner of Texas I've seen so far. And yes, it's true what they say about women from the PNW...I love the outdoors. I miss hiking so if you know of any great trails I should check out please let me know.

I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Cats
I like Dogs, Horses
My cat, Lucy, was a poor, stray kitten when she was gifted to me by a colleague in Ukraine. That was in 2010. Lucy has since immigrated to the USA and is very spoiled by everyone but me. ;-)
Very Liberal
I enjoy meeting new people and/or spending time with close friends in a variety of places. As long as there is a lot of laughter, it doesn't matter what we're doing. I'm new here so I need to be educated about the great hot spots.
University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA
Bookstores, Stargazing, Lavender, Orca whales, Maps, Writing in my Journal, Concerts, Russian, Wine, the color Red, Movies: romance, adventure, comedy (no horror!) Music: everything, esp. The Beatles, Toby Mac, Muse, so many bands, so little space!
I love taking long walks and hiking mountain trails, being outdoors, photography, concerts, farmer's markets, browsing bookstores, taking road trips, any trips! And I love dancing (but I'm horrible at it...marks for trying!) I love having adventures!
I love reading and will pretty much read anything that's recommended by fellow bookworms. I'm lost in the "Into the Wilderness" series right now.
