Awesome. This is one of the better, slicker vector artworks I've ever seen.

I've been trying to find this restaurant for more than two hours - but I wasn't successful.
Being in company with two very assiduous Chinese helpers and a couple of pedestrians, finding this restaurant was impossible.
The telephone number seemed do be wrong.
I'd really like to know where I can find it, if it still exists.
Cons: no adress, no telephone, no restaurant

portable and wonderful
I decided to make my own iPod Tarot Deck since I liked how alot of songs went with the meanings of the cards...for me, at least. I edited the lyrics to be small, simple fortunes based on the meanings. To perform a "reading", simply shuffle the songs and interpret or close your eyes, spin the wheel around and pick the song it lands on for a quickie. On the Four of Swords, which is a card that means you should meditate, I put a guided meditation track so that action is taken immediately.

It won't count on anyone's record, but Friday's boys basketball endowment game between Service and Anchorage Christian was the closest thing to a state title game high school fans will see this time of year.
The Alaska Association of Basketball Coaches ranks Service as the top Class 4A team and ACS as the top Class 3A team in the state. Both teams finished runner-up in their respective state tournaments last season and both are on track to make another run at a state title.
Service prevailed, beating the Lions 68-59 in a game that was neck and neck until early in the fourth quarter. Service led 50-48 with just more than six minutes remaining, but stretched its lead to 10 with an 8-0 run that ended with a fast-break layup from Irho Raguindin (14 points) with 4:30 left.
"I love playing them," Raguindin said. "They play with so much intensity. They have a lot of great players and it's great for us to match up to them."
Raguindin and Marques Robinson came up big down the stretch for Service, accounting for 16 of the team's 20 fourth-quarter points. Robinson scored 10 of his team-high 23 in the final frame.
"It means a lot, because when we played 'em (earlier this season), they kinda beat us here, so we had a little chip on our shoulder and we've been practicing hard all week, trying to show what we can do and that we didn't forget the loss," Robinson said.
Friday's game was the last of two meetings between ACS and Service this season. The Lions won a November meeting by one point.
The turning point in Friday's game came when ACS starting point guard Calvin Hoffman fouled out early in the final period. Without Hoffman, the offense became noticeably less organized and the Lions lost a lot of steam.
"Of course the energy is going to fall when one of your best people are out," said Gus Simmers, who led the Lions with 23 points. "He's the spiritual leader on the team."
Hoffman finished with 15 points, making four first-half 3-pointers to help forge a 33-33 tie at halftime. He went to the bench with a fourth foul with 4:18 left in the third period and the Lions trailing 39-38. When Hoffman returned to start the fourth quarter, Service led 48-41.
ACS began the last period with two unanswered buckets to cut it to 48-45, but Hoffman fouled out 59 seconds into the period.
"I'll take the blame for that," Hoffman said. "I played too aggressive. I just gotta be paying attention."
The referees weren't calling the game tight, but they weren't calling it loosely either, Hoffman said, and he found it difficult to gauge how aggressively he could play.
"My last one, even though I felt like I was there, I gotta know I got four fouls and it can go either way and I gotta just know my position and what I gotta accomplish."
Amu Aukusitino, a standout guard for Service, missed the game because he's at a football camp. ACS coach Ron Hoffman said he was disappointed not to play Service at full strength, but didn't think Aukusitino's absence necessarily changed the outcome of the game.
Some of the Lions' toughest tests come in endowment games, which are in essence exhibition games. They allow teams to play more games than the season limit set by the Alaska School Activities Association; ASAA gets $200 from the school hosting an endowment game for its Alaska Endowment for Youth Activities fund.
Ron Hoffman said the team always looks forward to chances to test its game against quality opponents. The Lions will host Monroe in an endowment game Feb. 2, a rematch of the last two Class 3A state title games. ACS took the 2011 title and Monroe won last year's.
"I think Monroe is the best team in the state, 3A," Hoffman said. "(Frank) Ostanik will have his boys ready, I can promise you that. I'm excited."

I've been wanted to start this for a while now, I've even attempted it before. But this time I'm really doing it!
There are several reasons to start a fast. Cultures have fasted for thousands of years and many cultures still practice it. It all makes complete sense to me!
Over time toxins build up in our body, from the environment and from the things we eat and drink. Our bodies will seek opportunities to rid itself of these toxins.
Once the toxins enter our blood stream from a fast, you will experience a low or down cycle. During a cycle you can suffer headaches, diarrhea or depression. This is usually gone after the first three days.
Fasting is recommended for ANY illness, because it gives the body the rest it needs to recover. By giving the body a break from digesting foods, it's focus turns on rebuilding and healing itself. Fasting is recommended for anyone to do on a regular basis. At least a couple times a year.
By releasing the toxins in your body you are also removing fat. Our bodies use fat to contain toxins so they don't affect other areas of our bodies. Our bodies are trying to protect us and all it knows to do is surround the toxins with fat.
A 3 day fast will cleanse and detoxify the body
A 5 day fast will start healing your body
and A 10 day fast will work on protecting your body from future illnesses!
Fasting on water alone is never recommended as it causes your body to release toxins too quickly and that can be a miserable and painful experience. By fasting on live juices we are able to provide our bodies with proper nutrition and arm our bodies with the fighting and healing power it needs :)
For anyone interested in fasting, I suggest you do more research on it, find the fast that is right for you. It's very challenging, for me anyway. I'm dealing with food all day as I have 3 children and a husband to cook for. So it's definitely difficult. But each day that passes it does get easier.
I'm currently on day two so I'm excited to get through the next couple of days and share with you all my experience and the benefits that I notice!

I can't do fasts as you should be resting for the whole time. A juice fast would be okay but I am hypoglycemic and couldn't handle it.

You are doing it Heather, and you are doing it for you!!You are showing such self control and determination!

As you said, the juice fast is wonderful and the benefits are numerous. It might be difficult at first with all that food around, but once you start feeling all the positive results, it will get easier. Good luck and keep us posted.

It's Fleet Week here in New York and with Memorial Day Weekend ahead, what better way to celebrate than a big, crazy party with Karin Dreijer Andersson from The Knife DJing? Presented by nightlife promoter Ladyfag, the event's called "Holy Mountain" and happens on Saturday (5/23) at Slake.

In related news, Ladyfag is also part of this year's Pop Souk which happens May 31 at Webster Hall. Pop Souk mixes club culture with shopping: "a pilgrimage where the cool cats come to socialize, listen to DJs... & shop!" It goes from noon - 6 PM and will take over the entirety of Webster Hall that day, and is free to attend. Flyer and vendor list for Pop Souk is below...

What's going on Friday? (Swervedriver, Title Fight, Patti Smith, JSBX, The Get Up Kids, Sannhet, Bob's Burgers Live & more)
Swervedriver at BV-SXSW 2015 (more by Tim Griffin)
You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight's shows, but here are some highlights...
Swervedriver, Gateway Drugs @ Music Hall of Williamsburg
Arguably the heaviest, most rocking of the original UK shoegaze acts, Swervedriver returned this year with their first new album since the '90s -- and it's pretty damn good. But expect to hear favorites like "Duel" and "Rave Down," too, at their NYC shows this weekend.
Patti Smith & Jesse Smith @ Le Poisson Rouge
Punk pioneer and NYC icon Patti Smith has been giving a variety of performances lately, and this one's a collaboration with her daughter Jesse for the "Hands On Live" benefit concert, which raises funds for Terakoya, "a new naturopathy clinic/workshop to be built in the upstate Catskill Mountains."
The Get Up Kids, PUP, Restorations @ Stone Pony
Nineties-era greats The Get Up Kids last reunited in NYC before every '90s emo band you could think of started doing the same thing, and now they're finally back for another round. They don't hit NYC proper, but will be in NJ tonight and Long Island tomorrow. Great openers too: poppy Canadian punks PUP and Philly's heart-on-sleeve rockers Restorations.
La Dispute, Title Fight, The Hotelier @ Webster Hall
This is a killer triple bill with two always-progressing co-headliners -- La Dispute whose newest stuff is progressive post-hardcore with a hint of spoken word, and Title Fight who are currently toeing the line between punk and shoegaze. Cathartic emo band The Hotelier open the show. Sold out.
Jon Spencer Blues Explosion @ The Point
The JSBX released their cracking new album Freedom Tower: No Wave Dance Party 2015 this week and are celebrating by playing shows in every borough. Tonight takes them to the Bronx where they'll play a benefit for Hunts Point community center The Point.
Diamond Rugs, New Madrid, Justin Collins @ Bowery Ballroom
This supergroup -- featuring John McCauley & Robbie Cowell of Deer Tick, Ian Saint Pe formerly of Black Lips, T. Hardy Morris of Dead Confederate, Steve Berlin of Los Lobos and Bryan Dufresne of Six Finger Satellite -- released their second album this year and bring their good-time rock n' roll to NYC tonight.
Har Mar Superstar, Kahli Abdu, VHS Safari @ Knitting Factory
A fearless and funny performer, Har Mar Superstar brings the party -- and his R&B/rock/pop songs -- to wherever he plays. This one starts at 11:30 PM and will go late.
Untold, Egyptrixx, Tessela (DJ Set) @ The Wick
The "Tinnitus" series continues tonight, pairing together UK bass producer Untold with Canada's UK-inspired Egyptrixx.
Ikonika, Jubilee, DJ HVAD, Tripletrain, Geng, Dave Q, "Very Special Guest" @ Palisades
UK Hyperdub-signed producer Ikonika (aka Sara Abdel-Hamid) makes the kind of dubstep her label's best known for, with releases dating back to 2008. Tonight's show has a "Very Special Guest." Any guesses?
Sannhet, Kayo Dot, Oneirogen @ Saint Vitus
Brooklyn trio Sannhet make crushing instrumental post-metal and their live show (killer light show included) can really overwhelm you if you let it. Tonight's their release show forRevisionist, and it's a great bill all around with Toby Driver's genre-less collective Kayo Dot and one man metal band Oneirogen.
Tobias Jesso Jr., Okay Kaya @ Baby's All Right
Canadian singer-songwriter TJJ recalls the early-'70s days of Harry Nilsson, Randy Newman and John Lennon on his new album, Goon. Will he live up to the hype?
Teen Suicide, LVL UP, Amanda X, Crying, Flagland, Washer @ Brooklyn Night Bazaar
This whole bill is a pretty great showcase of the burgeoning Northeast indie rock scene, with Ricky Eat Acid's punk band Teen Suicide, '90s-esque rockers LVL UP, punky indie rock trio Amanda X, chiptune-gone-Rush trio Crying, garage rockers Flagland, and the shambolic sounds of Washer.
The Budos Band, Spires @ Brooklyn Bowl
Where their first three albums traffiked in funky afropop, the Budos Band went heavy (as in almost proto-metal) on last year's Burnt Offering which works a lot more organically than you might think. This is their first of two Brooklyn Bowl shows.
Shakey Graves, Nikki Lane @ Warsaw
Quickly-rising Austin folk singer Shakey Graves plays his second of two NYC shows with Nikki Lane tonight.
Hallelujah the Hills, Adam Schatz (of Landlady) @ Bell House
Boston cult indie rockers Hallelujah the Hills have been at it for ten years, developing a very loyal fan base. Anthemic choruses abound.
Dropdead, Fucking Invincible, V-Sect, Narcoleptics @ The Acheron
Providence hardcore vets Dropdead have been going strong since '91 with most of their original lineup, and their newest material is just as crushing as their classic stuff. Fucking Invincible are not to miss either.
Las Rosas, Boytoy, Threats (members of Drowners), Winstons @ Alphaville
It's a gaggle of garage rock in the back room of Bushwick bar Alphaville tonight, headlined by the very '60s-ish Las Rosas.
Ceremony @ Kinfolk 94 (6:45 PM)
Ceremony's upcoming new album has them moving even further away from their powerviolence roots, this time towards something that sounds inspired by Joy Division. They'll be playing songs from that album at this intimate, early show tonight.
Baked, Bueno, Leapling, Weed Hounds, Pupppy @ Shea Stadium
Tonight's Shea show brings together a handful of regulars on Brooklyn's current indie rock scene.
Deborah Harry @ Cafe Carlyle
Blondie singer Deborah Harry continues her residency at Upper East side cabaret supper club Cafe Carlyle tonight. It runs through April 4.
Bob's Burger's Live @ Beacon Theater
The entire main cast of FOX's charming animated sitcom are on hand for this event tonight for individual standup segments, a table read of an upcoming episode and an audience Q&A.
For all of tonight's shows, and tomorrow's, check out our NYC concert calendar.

What's going Friday? (Eyehategod, The Movielife, Hamiltons, Porches, Empire! Empire!, Todd Edwards, Natalie Prass, more)
photo: Eyehategod at Europa in 2010 (more by Samantha Marble)
You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight's shows, but here are some highlights...
Nude Beach, Shellshag, The Hamiltons, Mal Blum, Black Wine, Crow Bait, Chris Gethard (host) @ Knitting Factory
Tonight's the first of three Don Giovanni Records showcases at Knitting Factory this month. All of them have great lineups, and tonight it's '70s power pop lovers Nude Beach, NYC DIY veterans Shellshag, Ramones-loving/"Dirty Work'-inspired punks The Hamiltons (who are maybe actually The Ergs), singer/songwriter Mal Blum, indie rockers Black Wine, alt-country punks Crow Bait, and comedian Chris Gethard as your host.
Eyehategod, Mortals, Blackout, Scowl @ Saint Vitus
Sludge legends Eyehategod are still touring in support of their excellent 2014 self-titled LP, and tonight the begin a sold-out 2-night stand at Saint Vitus. Different openers both nights, and they're all worth catching too.
The Movielife, Crime in Stereo, Pass Away @ Irving Plaza
Late '90s/early '00s Long Island melodic hardcore band The Movielife broke up in '03 after two albums of Lifetime/Gorilla Biscuits worship and a third album and EP that pushed that sound in new directions. They briefly reunited in 2010-11, and now they're thankfully back once again. Tonight's their first of two sold-out Irving Plaza shows with their pals Crime In Stereo. Opening this one is Pass Away (mem I Am the Avalanche, Crime In Stereo).
Porches, Frankie Cosmos, Krill, Sheer Mag @ Bowery Ballroom
Porches and related band Frankie Cosmos have been local staples for a while now, and their profile has clearly risen, as proven by tonight's sold-out Bowery Ballroom show, their biggest headlining appearance yet. They've got some talented friends to open, including quirky indie rockers Krill and classic rock-inspired garage rockers Sheer Mag.
Empire! Empire! (I Was A Lonely Estate), Warren Franklin & The Founding Fathers, Paper Streets, For Everest @ Palisades
Empire! Empire! returned last year with their first album since their 2009 debut, but now they're reissuing that debut and playing it in full on this tour. Warren Franklin just put out a split album with Kind of Like Spitting, and if you like KOLS, you'd probably dig Warren too.
Todd Edwards, Beautiful Swimmers, Bobby Renz @ American Museum of Natural History
Dance music veteran Todd Edwards has a long history, but he's been in the spotlight as of late thanks to collaborations with Daft Punk and associations with Disclosure. Tonight he DJs the ongoing One Step Beyond series at the Museum of Natural History, and Maxmillion Dunbar's duo with Ari Goldman, Beautiful Swimmers, open.
Jeffrey Lewis, Diane Cluck, The Spookfish @ Nola Darling
Two great artists with ties to the anti-folk scene, Jeffrey Lewis and Diane Cluck, begin a tour together tonight, their first of two NYC stops on the tour. It's sold out, but there will be a few tickets at the door.
Animal Collective (DJ Set) @ Brooklyn Bowl
Animal Collective continue their DJ residency at Brooklyn Bowl tonight with everyone except Panda Bear in tow.
Dre Skull, Obey City, Jubilee, Figgy, Sleepyhead, Chris Patrick @ Lot 45
Tonight's Broke City party at Lot 45 in Bushwick (411 Troutman) has a handful of quality DJs to keep you dancing all night long. Free before midnight.
Natalie Prass, Lady Lady, Small Wonder @ Rough Trade
Natalie Prass just picked up a ton of buzz (and a ton of Disney comparisons) for her debut album. Does she live up to the hype? Those with tickets to tonight's sold-out show will find out.
Algiers, Beliefs, The Flag @ Baby's All Right
London-via-Atlanta band Algiers make gothy/industrial soul, or soulful goth-industrial. If you're not sold on the recordings, word is Algiers, who just signed to Matador, are a see-it-live kind of thing. Also on the bill are Toronto's Beliefs who bring real muscle and songwriting chops to their brand of shoegaze.
Stranger Cat, Little Strike, Salt Cathedral @ Chelsea Market
Stranger Cat, the electronic art pop project of Cat Martino, headlines tonight's installmente of Paper Garden Records' Friday shows at Chelsea Market.
Violent Bullshit, IYEZ, Aircrafting, Hints @ Union Pool
While screamo pioneers Orchid are long gone, its members are scattered across a few solid newer bands, including Violent Bullshit, led by Orchid vocalist Jayson Green.
Too Many Zooz, Osekre & The Lucky Bastards, Douglas and The Goodhearts @ Brooklyn Night Bazaar
Brooklyn Night Bazaar puts local crafts, microbrews, food-truck type eats, mini golf, ping pong, and live music all under one roof. Tonight's live entertainment is headlined by funky brass band Too Many Zooz. Free.
J Dilla Birthday Celebration w/ J57 & Guests @ Littlefield
This weekend would've been J Dilla's 41st birthday. Celebrate his memory with MC/producer J57, PitchBlak Brass Band, and Product.
Hannibal Buress @ The Space at Westbury

What else?
What's going on Thursday? (La Femme, GWAR, Flying Lotus, mewithoutYou, Connan Mockasin, Rat Fist, Twilight Sad, more)
La Femme at Bowery Ballroom in March (more by Amanda Hatfield)
You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight's shows, but here are some highlights...
La Femme, Ejecta, Charly Bliss, Tiny Leg @ Le Poisson Rouge
France's finest motorik synthy surf band return to NYC. La Femme are a lot of fun -- you might see crowd surfing atop a keyboard -- and the undercard, including Brooklyn synthpop act Ejecta, is well-chosen.
Flying Lotus, Thundercat @ Music Hall of Williamsburg
Flying Lotus has always had a little jazz in his IDM, but he fully embraces the genre on the just-released You're Dead!. His bass wizard collaborator Thundercat opens and will presumably be joining FlyLo during his set too. Things should get wacky.
Gwar, Decapitated, American Sharks @ Starland Ballroom
As part of their quest to find missing leader Oderus, the galaxy's craziest band are in the NY area as part of their "Eternal Tour 2014" featuring new members Vulvatron and Blóthar. Expect typical Gwar mayhem. It's a killer evening all-around with Decapitated and beer-loving American Sharks opening. GWAR will be in NYC proper next month.
Connan Mockasin, Quilt, Weyes Blood, Tim Koh (DJ Set), Jesper Eklow @ Baby's All Right
Part Two of Mexican Summer's two-day celebration, tonight's sold-out show is pretty killer, with ethereal songstress Weyes Blood and terrific Boston band Quilt. Headliner Connan Mockasin is the wildcard, brining an anarchic glee to his live shows. Things could get nutty. Stick around later for a separate midnight set from "OctaHate" singer Ryn Weaver.
mewithoutyou, The Appleseed Cast, Hop Along @ Irving Plaza
This is an excellent triple bill, with Philly's mewithoutYou celebrating the 10th anniversary of their art rock/post-hardcore opus Catch For Us The Foxes, veteran emo-turned-post-rockers The Appleseed Cast, and one of Philly's best newer bands Hop Along.
Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, DMX, Fabolous, Jhene Aiko, Redman, Method Man, Ashanti, Ja Rule, Warren G, Foxy Brown, Onyx, Jeremih @ Barclays Center (Def Jam 30th Anniversary)
Though Def Jam doesn't exactly have their heaviest hitters out to celebrate the label's 30th anniversary, there's still some cool stuff on this bill including a few veterans.
Rat Fist, Teenanger, The Abandos, Foster Care @ Death By Audio
Rat Fist is the new band of No Age guitarist Randy Randall and Pissed Jeans drummer Sean McGuinnes, who make exactly the kind of racket you'd expect from a resume like that. Their first NYC show ever was this past June at DbA and tonight they return to the venue. Toronto's Teenanger, meanwhile, make sneering, searing garagepunk -- a good fit. As are the other openers (Foster Care are one of NYC's most underrated bands).
Elliott Sharp @ Issue Project Room
Tonight is the premiere of Port Bou, Elliot Sharp's new opera about the final moments of philosopher Walter Benjamin's life in Port-Bou at the French-Spanish border as he flees Nazi-occupied France.
Il Sogno Del Marinaio (with Mike Watt), Gowanus @ Mercury Lounge
Mike Watt's a busy man, having been in Minutemen, fIREHOSE, The Stooges and more, and his current focus is his trio Il Sogno Del Marinaio with Italian musicians Stefano Pilia and Andrea Belfi.
Toddla T, Samo Sound Boy, Dre Skull, Jubilee @ Output
Samo Sound Boy's had a bit more success lately with his DJ Dodger Stadium duo with Jerome LOL, but tonight he's on his own to provide direct support to Ninja Tune's Toddla T for Output's weekly INPUT party.
The Twilight Sad, Christines @ Rough Trade
Scottish indie rockers The Twilight Sad reissued their 2007 debut Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters this year and tonight they'll be playing it in full live.
The Blues Magoos, The Cynz @ Bowery Electric
The Blues Magoos initially had a short career in the late '60s that produced a handful of influential psych/garage rock songs including their popular single "(We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet" and their version of "Tobacco Road," which later appeared on the first Nuggets compilation. Now they've got a new album out and this is the release show.
Dope Body, Big Ups, Slonk Donkerson @ The Studio at Webster Hall
Between Dope Body and Big Ups, there will be no lack of very loud, very distorted guitars at the Studio at Webster Hall tonight. Dope Body do it again at Palisades tomorrow with Rat Fist.
Xylouris & White, Bo Ningen @ Union Pool
Tonight's headliners are the duo of Dirty Three's Jim White and Cretan folk musician George Xylouris. Their debut album, Goats, mixes Xylouris' traditional lute style and White's avant leanings. Pretty interesting, as are openers Bo Ningen who are like a Chinese action fantasy as metal-prog band (but from Japan).
Cheap Girls, Beach Slang, Signals Midwest, Lee Corey Oswald @ Asbury Lanes
Cheap Girls and Beach Slang are a great double bill of two newer bands who likely would've been all over rock radio 20 years ago. The tour hit NYC earlier this week and now it's nearby in NJ.
Homeboy Sandman, ScienZe, Cavalier, I Am Many @ Glasslands
Queens rapper Homeboy Sandman put out his fifth album, Hallways, this past September via Stones Throw, and tonight's his first NYC show since its release.
Royal Blood, Kan Wakan @ Marlin Room at Webster Hall
UK rock duo Royal Blood's self-titled debut is one of 12 records up for this year's prestigious Mercury Prize with some prognosticators saying it's one of the frontrunners. Kinda sounds like run-of-the-mill rock to us but maybe you wanna see what all the fuss is about anyway.

Black Dice at 285 Kent tonight cancelled; Fade to Mind/Night Slugs throwing a party instead; Kelela releasing an LP
Black Dice were supposed to play 285 Kent tonight (9/27) with Teengirl Fantasy, but that show had to be canceled at the last minute due to a family emergency.
In its place, 285 Kent will instead host a Lit City/Fade to Mind/Night Slugs party with a bunch of the regulars, including Bok Bok, Kingdom, L-Vis 1990, Rizzla, MikeQ, Jubilee, and J-Cush. Not a bad last minute replacement. Tickets for tonight's party are on sale now.
Fade to Mind is also throwing a party soon at Output on October 10, which also includes Kingdom, in addition to Nguzunguzu, Prince Will, and special guests. Tickets for that show are on sale now.

What's going on Saturday? (Volcano Choir, Stay Positive, Zola Jesus, Dirtbombs, Basilica Sound Scape, Alt-J & more)
Volcano Choir
Browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight's shows. Here are some highlights...
Volcano Choir (w/ Justin Vernon), Sylvan Esso @ Webster Hall
Bon Iver's been quiet lately, but luckily main man Justin Vernon has been far from it (I don't think he knows how to be anything else). He's collaborated with a ton of artists this year (Kanye, Polica, Blind Boys of Alabama), put out a record with his blues band The Shouting Matches, and now he's got one out with Volcano Choir, his collaborative project with Collections of Colonies of Bees. Their new album is the most similar to Bon Iver of all his side projects, and tonight you can see what their live show has got to offer at Webster Hall. Opening the show is Sylvan Esso, the new duo of Mountain Man's Amelia Meath and Megafaun's Nick Sanborn.
Stay Positive, ITAL (D), Shannon F (DJ), Evan Michael (DJ) @ Glasslands
Stay Positive makes the kind of '90s pop-house that Disclosure helped bring back into style, and tonight the UK producer makes his US debut at this BrooklynVegan co-presented show. Tickets are still available.
Basilica Sound Scape w/ Teengirl Fantasy, Pure X, No Joy, Cass McCombs, DIIV @ Basilica Hudson
It's the second day of Hudson, NY's Basilica Sound Scape festival, and tonight's lineup may not be as diverse as yesterday's, but it's excellent all the same. Tonight they've got psychedelic dance duo Teengirl Fantasy, Montreal shoegazers No Joy, dream pop trio Pure X, prolific songwriter Cass McCombs, some band that just played with blink-182 called DIIV, and more.
Zola Jesus, JG Thirlwell @ Out Lady of Lebanon Cathedral
Having just released Versions, an orchestral reworking of many of her songs. Tonight you can hear it live, with help from arranger JG Thirwell and strings courtesy the Wordless Music Orchestra. A few tickets are still available.
D.O.A., Disaster Strikes, Agitator, Stale Phish @ Europa
Canada has been churning out a ridiculous amount of great punk lately (White Lung, Single Mothers, METZ, Greys, Nu Sensae, etc), but don't forget that's not a new thing. Back in the late '70s/early '80s when bands like Black Flag, The Germs, Minor Threat, The Misfts, etc were shaping a now-classic style of hardcore, Vancouver's D.O.A were doing the same thing, and their early records are essential listening for that era. After 35 years of making music, the band are now on their farewell tour, which hits NYC tonight.
The Dirtbombs @ Shinola Flagship NYC
Detroit garage vets The Dirtbombs are in town to play the block party opening for bike/watch store Shinola's new NYC location. Their new album Ooey Gooey Chewy Ka-blooey! is an ode to '60s bubblegum and a lot of fun. Dirtbombs are on at 3 PM.
Alt-J, Royal Canoe @ Hammerstein Ballroom
A year ago, Alt-J were playing Glasslands and Mercury Lounge. Since then, their debut album, An Awesome Wave, won the Mercury Prize and the band have been playing bigger venues every time through. And after a summer of playing big outdoor festivals, they're probably ready for somewhere like Hamerstein.
Majical Cloudz, Moon King @ Mercury Lounge
Montreal's Majical Cloudz make soulful, minimal music that can be a captivating live experience, due mainly to Devon Welsh intense stage presence. This is the first of two NYC shows this weekend, both of which are with Toronto's Moon King who are definitely worth getting there early for.
Screaming Females, Waxahatchee, Tenement, Heaven's Gate @ Music Hall of Williamsburg
Three Don Giovanni bands, Screaming Females, Waxahatchee, and Tenement, are on a tour together this year and coming to NYC for shows at MHOW tonight and Bowery Ballroom on Tuesday. The tour is a nice celebration for this label, which has been around for ten years but experienced a serious rise in public attention this year, and these should be some great shows.
Ghet20 Gothik DJs, Mike Q, Byrell the Great, Jubilee, $hayne, Venus X @ Output
A number of names on NYC's underground electronic scene come together for an Aaliyah tribute at Output tonight.
El Ten Eleven, Eliot Lipp @ Bowery Ballroom
Post rock instrumentalists El Ten Eleven released Transitions last year and are still touring behind it. Tickets are still available.
Strngrs, Lightning Dust, Louise Burns, Eros and the Eschaton @ Pianos
What started as a Black Mountain side project, duo Lightning Dust now have three albums under their belt, most recently, Fantasy, having been released this summer finds them adding electronics to their psychedelic folk sound.
Phone Home, Psychic Teens, Weird Womb, Slow Warm Death @ Shea Stadium
This whole bill should be great, but two bands of exceptional note are Philly post-punks Psychic Teens, who recently released the very solid Come LP, and Brooklyn garage punks Slow Warm Death. SWD is fronted by John Galm (Snowing, Street Smart Cyclist), but he does a much different style in this band, and does it very well at that.
Kayo Dot, Ahleuchatistas @ The Bowery Electric
Toby Driver's long-running Kayo Dot defy easy categorization, part heavy riffage, part chamber ensemble.
Computer Magic, Heliotropes, Soda Shop @ Glasslands
Tonight's a disparate but nonetheless quality bill of local acts: synthy Computer Magic, the riff-rock of Heliotropes and indiepop stylings of Soda Shop.
NGUZUNGUZU, Dubbel Dutch, J-Cush, Durban @ Coco 66
It's another Lit City Rave at 285 Kent, and as usual they've got a lineup that will keep you dancing all night. It's headlined by LA weirdo-bass duo Nguzunguzu, and also features Dubbel Dutch, and J-Cush and Durban going b2b. UPDATE: this was supposed to happen at 285 Kent but is now happening at Coco 66 in Greenpoint.
Summer Thunder w/ Gentlemen Jets, Martin Crane, Dungeonesse (DJ), D. Jane Gherkin (DJ) @ Union Pool
Union Pool's free backyard Saturday series rolls on through September and this week is brought to you by the folks at Secretly Canadian. We're not sure who Gentlemen Jets are, but we do know that Brazos' singer Martin Crane will perform a solo set. 2PM - 6PM.
Tiger Flowers, Meek Is Murder, Johnny Booth, Hivesmasher, So Hideous @ The Grand Victory
Two killer NYC hardcore bands, Tiger Flowers and Meek Is Murder (who have a split video out), team up to pulverize Grand Victory tonight. If you're going to this sure-to-be-wild show, don't miss local post-metal crew So Hideous either.
Anathema, Alcest @ Gramercy Theater
Once a black metal band, France's Alcest have gotten progressively more shoegaze with each album (their latest being 2012's Les Voyages de l'Ame), and tonight they bring their walls of sound to Gramercy Theater on their tour with Anathema.
Save Domino Party @ The Ides
The Domino Sugar Factory is scheduled to be torn down this month, but the "Save Domino" campaign is still at it, beyond the lit sign on the side of that building. Tonight there's a "Save Domino" party happening -- somewhat ironically -- at the Wythe Hotel's Ides rooftop bar. Dragons of Zynth, Heaven, and See Through will play live and comedian Seth Herzog will be your host for the evening. RSVP for the party by emailing email@example.com.

Teengirl Fantasy on a boat last month (more by Leia Jospe)
Teengirl Fantasy recently wrapped up their tour in support of their solid new record, Tracer. Now that they're home in Brooklyn and have some time to kill before Seattle's Decibel Festival (9/29), they're teaming up with old local pals Blondes for a Weird Magic-presented show on Saturday (9/15) at 110 Troutman in Bushwick with Huerco S., Lamin Fofana, and Slava.

Addison Groove
UK producer Anthony Williams, who has previously recorded as Headhunter, released his debut LP under his new Addison Groove moniker earlier this month on Modeselektor's 50 Weapons label. The album is called Transistor Rhythm and puts Addison Groove next in the recent line of producers bringing Chicago juke and footwork into the UK bass scene. Stream clips of the album below alongside full streams of the tracks "Savage Henry" and "Bad Things."
Addison Groove just kicked off a North American tour in support of the album with fellow UK producer/50 Weapons labelmate Doc Daneeka last night (4/25) in Boston.

The recent road wins over St. Johns and DePaul demonstrated the long-armed ways this edition cleans the backboard glass and causes perimeter defensive havoc not lately seen on the Hilltop.Credit the athletic freshman class for this evolving dynamic.Without question Otto Porter, the No. 10 ranked Hoyas leading rebounder, has emerged as the starring force of the five-man freshman class. Lately the stat-stuffing forward has been getting a run for his money on the offensive boards from his fellow 6-foot-8 freshman Greg Whittington. Together they provide versatility and aggressive punch in ways that help the Hoyas claim victory not witnessed inrecent years.Looking to snap a two-game losing skid last Sunday against the Red Storm, the Hoyas field goal percentage chilled in the 30s much of the game.The Hoyas (15-3, 5-2 Big East) offset the misses by snaringseason-high 19 offensive rebounds, which led to 21 second-chance points and the much needed win. Defensively they held the Red Storm without a 3-point field goal, 10 misfires from beyond the arc.Two days later the Hoyas blew into the Windy City to face DePaul andcompensated fora season-high 18 turnovers with a massive 47-25 rebounding advantage, including 17 offensive boards. The 36 offensive rebounds in the consecutive road wins is the most prolific two-game stretch for the Hoyas in at least three seasons.Whittington grabbed 12 rebounds in the two wins, nine off the offensive glass. His team-high six offensive rebounds against the Red Storm led to a career-best eight points with six coming on putbacks. Statistics can often be misleading or not reflect determined effort, but rebounding results of this kind tell a legitimate tale, about Whittington and the teams mentality.They understand that when were going through stretches when were not making our shots, making perimeter shots, that we have a group of guys that can go get it and put it back in, said Georgetown coach John Thompson III. Greg understands that he can help in a lot of different ways as does the group."The Columbia, Md. native was even more succinct about purposeful offensive rebounding."It means you're getting second shots," said Whittington. "That's how you get wins."Porter grabbed 15 rebounds against the Blue Demons and 25 total in the back-to-back wins while averaging 8.5 points and two steals. "Otto, he's just everywhere," Whittington said, noting a difference between the fellow go-getters on the glass. "That's all that is. Other than that, me and Otto are the same player. We do the same things. We just to do things to the best of our ability."Noting their comparable effectiveness, Hoyas coach John Thompson III employs both forwards atop the Hoyas 1-2-2 pressure defense."My length messes everybody up," said Whittingtonas the Hoyas prepared for Saturday's noon tipat the Verizon Center against a resourceful Rutgers (11-8, 3-3) squad.The ScarlettKnights have wonthree of four andare to their best start since the 2003-04 season, but have dropped nine straight on the Hoyas home court.Whittingtons ability was discovered late in the high school recruiting process, not until the Oakland Mills High School star All-Met Player of the Year talents became loudly recognized.
Now, some with significant knowledge of Hoyas history suggest the forwards ability could have him surface as the programs premier performer when it comes to keeping opposing scorers silent. Speaking on his local sports radio show, former Georgetown coach John Thompson Jr. made such a claim, indicating the 6-foot-8 freshman and All-Met Player of the Years skill set could set him apart from even the most hallowed defenders to play for the Hoyas. Thompson III agrees."I think he has a chance to be, I really do. Now that's saying a lot. Obviously, Mike Riley, Gene Smith pop into my head immediately, and Greg is very different than both of them when you start talking about defenders. ... A lot of things about basketball he's just learning and being exposed to. But with time, he has the skill set and understanding and the caring to accomplish that."Whittingtons offense has been slower to develop, knocking down just 24 percent of his 3-point attempts. Thompson chalks up the current misses to freshman jitters and projects many makes in the future."I'm very comfortable when he takes a shot. He's going to be a big-time scorer before he leaves here," Thompson said.It speaks volumes about Whittingtons basketball character that despite his wayward touch, he continues to rise up in other areas. It says plenty about the Hoyas chances going forward that when it comes to that attentive mindset, Whittingtons not alone.

Former CB Al Harris retires as a Packer
Updated: May 2, 2013, 6:25 PM ETAssociated Press
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Al Harris didn't know how a ceremonial retirement was supposed to work and he didn't really care. All that mattered to the two-time Pro Bowl cornerback was that he was somehow able to say he retired as a member of the Green Bay Packers.
"Just over my career I had an awesome time, but the better part of my years were in Green Bay, (so) it was just important to me to retire as a Packer," Harris said Thursday, nearly 3½ years since he played his final snap for the Packers. ...

Diet and Nutrition Q&A by Betty Kovacs
What are the characteristics of fat- and water-soluble vitamins?
Author: Betty Kovacs, MS, RD
Medical Editor: William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR
Vitamins are one of the six essential nutrients that our bodies need to function. These essential nutrients are broken up into two groups based on the amount that is needed:
2. Micronutrients: vitamins and minerals
While vitamins are needed in small quantities, they perform huge functions in our bodies. They are needed for normal function, growth and maintenance of body tissues, and to regulate and support chemical reactions in the body. In order to be classified as a vitamin, absence of the nutrient from the diet must result in a disease that can be cured by the timely replacement of that nutrient. For this reason, the absence of any vitamin from your diet would result in a deficiency that would only be corrected by ingesting that vitamin.
Vitamins fall into two categories: fat soluble and water soluble. The type of solubility has to do with how the vitamins are absorbed and transported, whether or not they can be stored in the body, and how easily they are lost from the body. The fat-soluble vitamins are A, D, E, and K. Being fat soluble means that they are absorbed in the lymph, are transported in the blood with carrier proteins, and they can be stored in the liver and fatty tissues. The fact that these vitamins can be stored means that they can also build up to toxic levels when consumed in excessive amounts. It is very important to stick to the guidelines on how much is necessary and how much is dangerous.
The water-soluble vitamins are B and C. The B vitamins include thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate, pyridoxine, and B12. The water-soluble vitamins are easily dissolved and can be excreted in the urine. This does not mean that you can take these in unlimited quantities. There can be problems with excessive amounts, so upper limits have also been set for the water-soluble vitamins. You can find detailed information on sources, requirements, functions, and upper limit levels for all vitamins at the USDA Food and Nutrition Information Center.
Thank you for your question.

MIVT's Bio-Compatible Medical Coating Technologies Featured in Fortune 500 Nanotechnology Special Report; Business Magazine Spotlights Plan to Commercialize Proprietary Device Coatings for $160 Billion Drug Delivery Marketplace
In the FORTUNE 500 article, MIVT biomedical technologies and potential medical applications are described in detail. These include the Company's ultra-thin biocompatible and polymer-free coating for vascular stents. As the article explains, traditional polymer coatings on stents that release anti-inflammatory drugs have been prone to adverse reactions as the body's immune systems respond defensively to their presence.
"Development of Novel Drug Eluting Composite Coatings for Cardiovascular Stents"
MIVT senior officers including CEO Alan Lindsay are also quoted in the article, regarding the medical need and commercial opportunities of the Company's unique and proprietary implant coating technologies. The firm is committed to the development of a variety of applications for implanted drug delivery devices and other applications for therapeutic purposes. The Company's unique patented drug-delivery nanotechnologies will target the estimated $160 billion marketplace for localized drug delivery systems.
MIVT is a sponsor of the Fortune 500 special section on nanotechnology. The article can also be viewed online by visiting such websites as www.CNNMoney.com and http://www.ianano.org/Fortune-Nanotech.pdf.
About MIV Therapeutics Inc.
MIV Therapeutics is developing a next-generation line of advanced biocompatible coatings for passive and drug-eluting applications on cardiovascular stents and a broad range of other implantable medical devices. The Company's ultra-thin coating formulation is designed to protect surrounding tissue from potentially harmful interactions with bare metallic stents. The Company's unique ultra-thin coating platform is derived from an organic material called hydroxyapatite (HAp) which has demonstrated excellent safety and biocompatibility in vivo animal studies. Hydroxyapatite is a bioactive porous material that makes up the bone mineral and matrix of teeth and is widely used today as a bone substitute material and for coatings on implantable fixation devices in orthopedic, dental and other applications. The Company's novel polymer-free drug eluting technologies based on Hydroxyapatite could also provide an attractive alternative to current polymer-based drug eluting coatings on the stent market, which have been associated with undesirable medical effects. The Company's drug eluting coatings are additionally designed to suit a broad range of implantable medical devices that could benefit from highly customizable drug release profiles. MIVT has a Collaborative Research Agreement (CRA) with the University of British Columbia and has received Government grant for its research program on the "Development of Novel Drug Eluting Composite Coatings for Cardiovascular Stents," under the National Research Council-Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP). Under this sponsorship, the Company is expected to complete its drug-eluting research and development program and to reach product commercialization stage.

Cheap Coffee
More than a third of the coffee Americans drink is classified as "gourmet," according to the National Coffee Association. Nevertheless, cheap coffee still commands a large share of the market, and names like Folgers and Maxwell House remain best sellers. While coffee connoisseurs may deride such brands, our reading of expert and consumer reviews indicates that most inexpensive coffees have many fans. Consumers can buy cheap ground coffee in a package or can, or pick up whole beans to grind themselves before brewing, which experts say is best. We've included examples of both on our list, given that many people don't own a coffee grinder or don't have the time to grind their own beans every morning.
Melitta Coffee

Cheap Coffee Buying Guide
|Coffee Reviews and Taste Test
We made our picks based on our usual analysis of features and online reviews but also a blind taste test. A top choice among canned, medium roast coffees is Melitta 100% Colombian (starting at $5.99 for an 11-ounce can), which coffee drinkers praise in online reviews for its rich, mellow flavor and lack of acidity.
We used newly opened containers of fresh coffee to conduct our blind test. The panelists were all premium coffee drinkers unfamiliar with these top-rated brands. Each brew was prepared in an automatic Mr. Coffee machine, using 2 tablespoons of ground coffee per 8 ounces of water, and immediately transferred to a thermal container for consistency. The panel tasted the coffees both with and without milk.
How do high-end premium coffees from places like Portland's Stumptown or Brooklyn's Cafe Grumpy command up to $20 a pound, when the coffees in our tasting top out at $8.99? It starts with the sourcing of the beans. Arabica beans tend to produce expensive coffee because they are delicate, grown under shade at higher altitudes, and require more care in cultivation. Robusta beans are cheaper and less flavorful but contain more caffeine. The Dunkin', Melitta, and Eight O'Clock coffees on our list are made from 100% arabica beans, however, so that's far from the whole story.
The beans in premium coffees often come from a single equatorial location or even a particular farm. By contrast, cheap coffees may be a blend of beans from different estates, primarily in Central America, with Colombia predominating. Coffee estates in places such as Ethiopia and Sumatra are unlikely to be represented at the cheap end of the spectrum.Fair Trade and organic designations can also jack up the price. "Fair Trade" means the importer has paid the farmers a fair price, provided credit, and offered technical assistance. Organic farming practices tend to yield less coffee, resulting in higher prices.
The most expensive coffees are extremely fresh, something that's not typically true of cheap coffee. You can expect the grounds at the bottom of a two-pound container to be relatively tasteless. If you're not the type to buy whole beans and grind them yourself, be sure to note the sell-by date on pre-packaged coffee. We talked to a coffee store owner who said there's a noticeable difference in the taste of 30 pounds of vacuum-packed beans from a large roaster vs. beans from a small batch roaster who roasts them to order and delivers them right away. Small batch roasting ensures evenness, with a minimum of unroasted beans in every batch.
Coffee can be roasted anywhere from light to very dark. Darker roasts are usually denser and more intense, although deep roasting can kill off caffeine. Europeans tend to prefer darker brews, while iconic American coffees are generally mild to medium roasts. Still, the coffee revolution that started in Seattle in the 1970s has changed the way many Americans think of coffee. Darker roasts, which used to be hard to come by, are popping up all over the place at affordable prices. Dark roasting is not necessarily a sign of good coffee, however, even in more expensive brands. Certain beans don't lend themselves to deep roasting, and over-roasting makes coffee taste burnt and bitter.
In addition to choosing the best light/medium and dark coffees, we also took a look at cheap flavored and decaffeinated coffees, as well as pods for single-serve coffee makers. Read on to find out which ones promise the most satisfying start to your mornings.
Coffee Reviews and Taste Test
In combing through coffee reviews, we discovered that it's actually hard to find a coffee that's not widely adored. There seems to be something out there for almost everyone. Consumers posting reviews of their favorite super-cheap brews use the same words you might see in reviews of premium blends. Even when expert reviews pan a certain cheap option, consumers who have been drinking it for years counter those comments with acclaim.
Mild/Medium Roast Coffee.Light and medium roasts are the ones most Americans drink. The color is light brown and the beans have been roasted to a point where their sugars have started to caramelize, giving the coffee a somewhat sweet and nutty flavor. In a tasting by America's Test Kitchen, experts found that medium roasts may be best for people who drink their coffee black, because milk and sugar tend to drown out the subtlety of the flavor. Our tasting panel noticed this with supermarket brand Eight O'Clock Original (starting at $4.98 for 12 ounces of whole beans) in a blind test.
There are so many varieties of mild to medium coffee out there that finding your favorite based on trial and error could take years. In the course of our research, Melitta 100% Colombian (starting at $5.99 for an 11-ounce can) emerged as the best canned coffee in the light-medium class, based on coffee reviews posted online. Melitta, which is also known for its coffee makers and cone filters, grinds its beans to an extra-fine consistency, so consumers need less coffee to brew a pot of decent strength using a Melitta manual coffee brewers. That may be the key to properly enjoying this coffee; our tasting panel found that a pot made in an automatic coffee maker, using the standard ratio of 2 tablespoons per cup of water, turned out far too strong and bitter for their liking.
Melitta boasts that this blend is made from arabica beans grown at high altitude, and consumers posting coffee reviews on Amazon consistently praise the result. In contrast to our tasters, they compliment its lack of bitterness and full flavor profile. One consumer says in a review that this is as close as you can come to premium coffee at a low price.
We were somewhat surprised to find that experts at Coffee Review and elsewhere have awarded high ratings to Eight O'Clock Original. Consumers posting reviews on Amazon concur that Eight O'Clock is smooth and flavorful, if you like a light cup of coffee. Many have been drinking it for years, since it was the A&P signature medium roast. Reviews note the invigorating aroma and say the brew suits black coffee drinkers, because it's not bitter. Indeed, our panel found that adding milk nearly drowned out the coffee taste. They were relatively unimpressed with this extremely mild blend (most habitually drink premium coffee with stronger flavor). Some longtime Eight O'Clock drinkers posting at both Amazon and Coffee Review say they've noticed a recent drop in quality.
Dunkin' Donuts Original Blend (starting at $8.99 for 16 ounces) is just blah, some reviews say, although our panel deemed it smooth and aromatic -- the best of the five budget coffees on our list. Other consumers like it for breakfast because it's not too dark and not too acidic. A coffee drinker who posted a review on Amazon appreciates that it's so mellow -- not as harsh as other brews. Coffee Review declares it balanced and sweet, while other expert testers note that it's fairly thin and they found a lot of unroasted beans in the bag.
Some consumers swear by Chock Full o'Nuts (starting at $24.99 for a 48-ounce can of Original) -- they drink it, their parents drank it, and so on. It originated in retail locations in New York several generations ago, and coffee drinkers posting reviews at Amazon and online retailer Coffee For Less still find it rich and robust, with a strong and pleasing aroma. It's especially favored among consumers who drink their coffee black. They say it has a deep flavor for a medium roast without the bitterness of a darker roast.
Starbucks coffee (starting at $11.99 per pound) is a bit out of our price range but worth a mention, as it's one of the best-selling brands in the U.S. Starbucks calls its House Blend a medium roast, although it's darker than most. Consumers posting coffee reviews on Amazon find the coffee rich and not acidic, and agree that it's better than much of the cheap coffee available in a can. In the most recent reviews on Epinions, the primary complaint is price, although older comments repeatedly mention a burnt taste. Experts seem to ascribe this to over-roasting for the sake of consistency, and Starbucks recently introduced Blonde Roast blends to attract customers turned off by its traditionally dark brew.
