LAHORE: The Environment Protection Department (EPD) and Punjab University's College of Earth and Environmental Science (CEES) organised a seminar to mark the World Environment Day at Al-Razi Hall on Wednesday.
The day is observed every year on June 5 to promote awareness on importance of preserving biodiversity, need to identify problems relating to environment and ways and means to take corrective actions. Theme for this year's day is 'Small Island Developing States (SIDS)'.
Speakers at the seminar stressed the need for ensuring individual participation to save environment.
Provincial Minister for Environment Col (r) Shuja Khanzada was the chief guest while EPD Secretary Muhammad Anwar Rasheed and Punjab University Vice Chancellor Dr Mujahid Kamran were guests of honour.
Environment Protection Agency (EPA) Director General Farooq Hameed Sheikh, CEES Principal Prof Dr Firdoos Bareen, Assistant Professor M Kamran, EIA Director Naseemur Rehman, District Officer Younas Zahid and a large number of students were present.
Dr Firdoos Bareen highlighted the importance of the theme of the day. CEES students presented three documentaries on prevailing environmental changes and after-effects of rapid climate changes.
Addressing the seminar, Minister Shuja Khanzada stressed that present environmental challenges should be dealt on a war footing besides calling for holding such seminars and events on a regular basis.
He appreciated students and organisers for conducting the event and called it an effective step towards achieving a better environment. He said that climatic changes in our country could damage us because our glaciers were melting quickly and water pollution was increasing rapidly.
Because of non-availability of storage capacity and also because of absence of dams, he said, natural water resources were being wasted every year and if this practice continued, the next generation would face severe problems due to scarcity, rather absence of natural water.
He said that Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif took various initiatives to store water in low-lying areas so that underground water level could be maintained. He also invited the students and teachers to come to his office with ideas and projects to save the environment.
Secretary Rasheed said that every individual had to come forward and join hands with each other for betterment of environment. He said that a single department could not deliver 100 percent until every individual started playing his or her part.
He said that environmental challenges were increasing day by day and that these challenges could be controlled if every individual managed his requirements as per his or her needs.
He appreciated the CEES students for their documentaries and said such videos should be filmed regularly and that the EPD would sponsor them.
Earlier, a speech and documentary competition was also held while a skit was also presented to highlight the importance of safe environment.
In the end, Vice Chancellor Dr Kamran distributed shields among participants of speech and documentary competition. Dr Kamran also presented shield to Minister Shuja Khanzada, Secretary Rasheed and EPA Director General Farooq Hameed Sheikh.

In Suite Harmonic you take on some of the "big" themes – warfare, religious tensions, social organization – which are often assumed to be men's territory, in both life and writing. You once referred approvingly to another woman writer who regularly trespassed on this kind of territory. Did any such intention play a part in your project?
—Mary Michaels, London
Mary, I have a whole page of random notes about things I'd like to say in response to this question. But before I try to organize those ideas into a more focused answer, I want to square up the gender question with the fact that I'm a woman who, in Suite Harmonic, has written a novel about a man at war. A friend told me she thought I was gutsy to begin with a battle scene and I think I know what she meant. You can read War and Peace in an abridged version that leaves out all the battle scenes and maybe there's an assumption that such scenes will be confusing and repetitious and, ultimately dull. Beyond that, there's the question of whether women are going to have any interest in reading battle scenes or whether a man is going to trust reading a battle scene written by Emily Meier rather than, say, E. M. Meier. These are certainly things I thought about before I ever tackled putting men on the field.
To the matter of what women read. I think women have individual tastes as readers that cover the gamut of what's out there (and maybe beyond). And when it comes to reading about war, it's probably worthwhile for everyone to try to understand what the real experience of war is since we keep sending people to fight them. Practically speaking, though, reading is about what we want to read, not what we should read. Our leisure reading isn't for credit. It has to speak to us as curious readers.
All of that was very much on my mind when I realized my research told me I would be writing at least five battle scenes for Suite Harmonic. It was a daunting prospect from every possible vantage point. I mulled it over a lot, and then got an unexpected assist from thinking about Frank McCourt's Angela Ashes. In the early chapters of that book, McCourt has to tell the stories of all the children who died in his family. That could have made for a a book that's impossible to read because of the terrible repetition of events. Instead McCourt varies the ways he tells each of the stories so that each death feels fresh and individual. It's utterly compelling, though still heartbreaking.
I gave myself the analogous task of trying to tell the stories of the battles in Suite Harmonic in different ways. In the Ft. Donelson battle that opens the book, I tried slipping in parts of the back story of the Given family in New Harmony and in Ireland. More than that, I focused on the fact the battle took place around Valentine's Day. That gave me a unique way of broadening its context when John and his friend Levi, in a surreal juxtaposition, read valentines from home in a house full of wounded and dying soldiers. I made other choices for the battles that followed. I tried to convey the immense scope of Shiloh. I had John relate the events of one smaller, but memorable, battle to his cousin. I put him on the field of battle as the clerk he eventually was. Often the battles themselves offered variety due to their locales and the stage of the war and the difference in fighting when siege warfare arrived. And in each case, I told the story from the viewpoint of one soldier who was living it. While the troop movements, down to the company level, and the casualties and events of the battles are absolutely as accurate as it was possible for me to make them, I always tried to convey the texture of the individual experience of the battle for John Given, including the desperate, and even mundane, nature of many of his thoughts and feelings.
As for whether a man would be reluctant to pick up a book about the Civil War written by a woman, it may depend on the man, although I think readers are readers first. Certainly, if male writers can imagine Emma Bovary and Anna Karenina and Effie Briest with such uncanny understanding of their emotional experience, a woman is able to imagine a man's battlefield experience. And the good luck for me was that I didn't have to rely solely on my imagination. I not only had John Given's letters to draw on but the immense historical record of the war that's available to researchers, particularly the Official Records of the War of the Rebellion. Their volumes and volumes contain records of everything that happened and the most wonderful collection of battlefield reports down to the unit level. It wasn't just Grant in his memoirs who knew how to tell a vivid story of war. There were some amazing writers who led brigades and regiments and companies. The remarkable detail in their reports puts a reader right in the action. Really, they set a very high bar for me in trying to live up to their storytelling ability when it came to battle scenes. Those reports also made it possible for me to make the depiction of the battles historically accurate, which was always my goal.
But to address the actual question of whether in writing something like battle scenes it was my intention to claim territory as a woman writer that is more often held by men, the simplest answer is no. I did not make the decision to write Suite Harmonic with a feminist purpose. I made it because I had John Given's letters and thought the story in them was amazing—that as a common man, he was at the nexus of so many historical currents and events. It was a story I was obsessed with telling even before I had any idea of how to do it.
But even if it wasn't my intention to throw down a marker about what women can write, I do feel that women are too often absent from discussion in the public sphere. Some of that may be due to the fact we're just catching up from the time when most women had fewer choices because their domestic challenges and frequent pregnancies were all demanding. Some of it is due to habit of mind. We're not surprised to see the cultural influence of a group of male friends such as Salman Rushdie, Ian McEwan, Martin Amis, and Christopher Hitchens. But have we ever seen a group of women in a similarly influential position? Sometimes women are missing from the public stage because of unvoiced preconceptions. We hear stories about women who only advance in orchestras when auditions are blind. We read tallies of how comparatively few women appear in magazines of all kinds—the New Yorker to research journals. I'm sure bias plays into this to some degree. However, I also feel that women are sometimes too timid, that we put up our own barriers. Perfectionists as we often are, we're sometimes afraid to put our voices out there. We worry we'll get something wrong. As a result, we miss the opportunities to learn from our mistakes and to find out what might happen if we stretch a little—if we go on out there and try ourselves on the highwire.
But there's also this, which seems exactly right to me: I've heard from women readers of Suite Harmonic who've really been drawn to the battle and camp scenes. They're discovering things that are new to them. There are also men who've been taken with John's sister Kate's part of the story on the home front. It's just not true that gender shuts people off from an interest in the broader areas of human experience. We all have this curiosity.

Neither DH and I are religious. We may be moving to a small town in Florida within the next month or so. Looking at schools, Florida does not have the best schools and thus far DS has been in private school. We would like to keep him in private school. But in the town we may be moving, all the private schools are Catholic/Christian based. Most of the schools have wonderful reviews and score well on greatschools.org.
I want to give DS the best education I can, but worry about a school pushing beliefs that neither DH or I agree with.
Would you send your kid to a Christian school if you are not religious?

Now a film titled Bronson has been made charting the life of the former boxer and career criminal – and surprisingly it looks quite good (in a darkly comedic way).
The Nicolas Winding Refn directed film stars Tom Hardy as Bronson, a criminal so thirsty for celebrity that he changed his name from Michael Peterson to Charles Bronson to gain attention and a greater tough guy reputation.
See the trailer below:
The film charts Bronson's (Peterson's) life from meek child to crazed thug via numerous crimes and arrests (starting in 1974) to his life incarceration. Bronson has faced such charges as: armed robbery, wounding with intent, criminal damage, grievous bodily harm, false imprisonment, blackmail, and threatening to kill.
Watch an Interview with star Tom Hardy:
Check out an interview with the Director – Nicolas Winding Refn
In the UK Bronson is something of a tabloid darling (if a criminal can be such a thing) – and this low budget film seems to be gaining some positive buzz. While the film does seem to glamorize Bronson's life it does appear to have a certain appeal – in a Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels sort of way.
Bronson (the film – not the man) will be released in the UK later this month and it will get a US release from Magnolia pictures this summer.
You can learn more about the film at BronsonTheMovie.com.

Both myself and my boyfriend use and love this product and we both have very different skin types! His is oily and acne prone whereas mine is sensitive and slightly dry. It is a strong exfoliation and the granules in it are quite large. If your skin is sensitive and/or dry you will not need to use this as often as someone with oily or acne prone skin so the product will last you a long time. A little goes a long way with this product so even if you are using it often, the bottle should still last you a couple of months. This product contains ingredients that help fight breakouts which is good and it clears the pores. It doesn't irritate the skin or leave it looking red and scratched. It cleans out the pores very well. A classic product, suitable for a lot of skin types.

I find it somewhat harsh because the size of the exfoliants are quite large. I prefer the Pink Mandarin and Orange Scrub.

Used this for a few years. It is very aggressive, but I feel it didn't actually really exfoliate all that well. I've had mixed feeling about this product for awhile; because some nights when I used it, it would leave my skin super soft but later on it would get very oily, and other nights it just left my skin tight and uncomfortable. Not going to lie though, it's an easy go to product at such a cheap price. It's an awesome body scrub, and the scent is mild which is nice. I've been told that a gentle scrub everyday, is better than an egress ice scrub every few days. I might use it again if I can't find one that suits me better.

I used this religiously (eep) when I was younger. For the past 4 or 5 years though, I discovered reddit.com/r/skincareaddiction. This has walnut shells in this which are too harsh for exfoliating your face with. I switched to chemical exfoliation (AHA/BHA) and my skin is much happier for it. I don't use this for my body either because it feels much too scratchy on my skin. I think I would possibly use this as a foot scrub, but I probably will never repurchase again. I prefer Tree Hut or The Body Shop scrubs for my body.

I like to use this on my face lightly after workout or when i feel greasy. In general, I believe this is too harsh for daily use on the face. But I love to use this on my body. Great for elbows and knees and back. It really makes the body tingle.

This is my holy grail exfoliator. Ot smells so good and seriously gives my skin such a clean feel. It helps a lot with those little acne bumps that everyone gets and i use it after i workout to really clean all the sweat and germs out. Would highly recommend!

My barn owner is awesome enough and said that if I found a saddle of hers that I like I can buy it from her. I found one that seems to fit Sonny alright, and it's a nice leather dressage saddle..but I don't know if it's worth the price she's asking.
The brand is collegiate, and it's their dressage saddle...no gullet change.
She's asking $500 for it
It's not in the greatest condition...but it's comfortable and will include leathers and irons...but the leathers are brown...and the saddle is black haha
Is that a good price for it? Or should I try to get it down lower?

Size, noise and heat generation
The Radeon HD 5770 uses a short PCB (printed circuit board, on which the components are soldered) – only 21 cm (8.3"). Yet the stock cooler is a double decker. While it's bulkier, it keeps the card's sound down to a very acceptable level in 2D.
At idle, we measured 39.8 dB(A) with the graphics chip at 41°C: the card was barely warm and the fan noise was perceptible but quite unobtrusive. In use, the GPU doesn't get very hot, not going above 84°C, but with noise levels at 56.2 dB(A). So the fan is really noisy during gaming and could disturb the people around you (in a living room, say).
Energy consumption
The 5770 retains the advances in energy management of the 5800 series. At idle, our wattmeter read 84 W, and it topped out at only 230 W during our intense 3D test. These numbers are for the entire computer, not just the graphics card. Only a single 6-pin PCI-E power connector is needed.
Gaming performance
The card is meant mostly for owners of monitors with average definition (1680 x 1050). With such resolutions it allows you to run games with the texture filters on and enable all detail settings on most games. You will have to back off on graphics options for certain very power-hungry games (ArmA 2, BattleForge, Crysis). So the card's performance is well down on the older Radeon HD 4870 1GB.
Click on the image to see all our readings
and compare this model with other cards.
The first set of results is with World in Conflict: Soviet Assault. At 1680 x 1050 with filters activated, the 5770 scored an average framerate of 32 fps, compared to 36 fps for the 4870. With ArmA 2, still at 1680 but without filters, the average framerate was 39 fps for the 5770 and 45 fps for the 4870. With Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X, at 1680 x 1050 + texture filters, the 5770 scored 52 fps and the 4870 61 fps.

Gang of Four @ Irving Plaza, 3/7/2015
Though guitarist Andy Gill is the only remaining original member Gang of Four, he and the new lineup of the band played Irving Plaza on Saturday (3/7) in support of their just-released What Happens Next. The album features loads of guest vocalists (The Kills' Alison Mosshart, The Big Pink's Robbie Furze among them) but there were no special guests at this show, just new frontman John "Gaoler" Sterry having the impossible task of replacing microwave-bashing mouthpiece Jon King. No appliances were harmed at Irving but they played a hit-heavy set, including "Anthrax," "Damaged Goods" (both of which were also names of cocktails at Irving), "At Home He's a Tourist" and "I Found That Essence Rare." Setlist and pictures are in this post.
If you missed it, Andy Gill (whose taut, signature guitar style is still being aped all over the world) weighed in on controversial band names -- specifically, Viet Cong -- for us over the weekend. Huge Andy Gill fan St. Vincent also recently interviewed him for The Talkhouse. Listen below.
Openers at Irving were Public Access TV. More pictures below...

Paul McCartney celebrated Valentine's Day at the intimate Irving Plaza (pics, review, setlist, videos)
by Andrew Sacher
Paul McCartney @ Irving Plaza (via Teresa Guy / Grace Gibson)
Paul McCartney celebrated Valentine's Day in style, coming to NYC for an extremely intimate show at Irving Plaza, a 1000-capacity venue -- compared to his two nights in 2013 at the 18,000-capacity Barclays Center and his two nights in 2011 at the 50,000-capacity Yankee Stadium. A few hundred tickets were sold that morning, but needless to say it was nearly impossible to get into, and even ticketholders were waiting on a huge line down the block (it moved fast though). The show coincided with Paul's appearance at SNL's 40th anniversary tonight, and tons of famous faces were watching from the VIP balcony, including Meryl Streep, Fred Armisen, Steve Buscemi, Jim Carrey, David Spade, Steve Van Zandt, Chris Rock and more. It's a big weekend for surprise shows in NYC in general, also thanks to NBA All-Star Weekend and Fashion Week resulting in the previous night's private Drake / Nas show at the same venue, the Prince show on Wall Street that night, and the Kanye West show at Flatiron Pedestrian Plaza on Thursday.
Because of the occasion, the show was a little different than other Paul McCartney shows. He and his band took the stage at the late hour of 11 PM, and played a 26-song, one-encore set that ended just over an hour and a half later (as opposed to his 38-song, two-encore set at his recent Barclays Center show). They spent a good portion of the night playing acoustic guitar-led songs, and they seemed to be choosing the setlist based mostly on love-themed material (for example, we didn't get "A Day In The Life," "Live and Let Die," "Helter Skelter," "Eleanor Rigby" and other huge live staples). But you don't leave a Paul McCartney show at a venue that size and get picky about the setlist. When he did play the heavy hitters, the whole place lit up like only few concerts ever can. Not many live music experiences rival a tightly-packed awestruck crowd of 1,000 people singing "Eight Days a Week," "All My Loving," "I've Just Seen A Face," "We Can Work It Out," "And I Love Her," "Lady Madonna," "Drive My Car," "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," "Back in the U.S.S.R.," "Let it Be" and "Hey Jude" right back at the guy who wrote them.
The one spectacle of the night happened during "My Valentine," which Paul dedicated to his wife Nancy who was in the audience, when red confetti poured out over the crowd. Other than that, we just got to see Paul and his fantastic band for exactly what they are: a fantastic band. No videos playing behind them of The Beatles in their early days, no fancy lights, no rainbow-colored piano pushed to center stage. Just a few guys playing some of the best rock and roll songs ever written without a misstep in sight. Every four-part harmony, every guitar solo, and every minor embellishment was played exactly the way you remember it. It really doesn't need to be said, but in case there was any doubt, popular music's most ageless frontman and his band are flawless.
A few more pictures, videos, and the setlist from the show, below...

People are really upset they're not getting into Foo Fighters at Irving Plaza tonight, others camped out overnight
Foo Fighters Irving Plaza lines pics via here and here
@brooklynvegan have you heard about scam outside @IrvingPlaza ?? No lining up for #FooFighters til 3pm...tickets gone by 1pm!— Erin Althaus (@TheErinAlthaus) December 5, 2014
Let's do the math. A band, who just put out the 12th best album of the year (just kidding), and who feel confident enough to announce a show at Citi Field (capacity: 45,000+) (not kidding), is playing a show at Irving Plaza (capactity: 1000+). No tickets were available in advance, and a good portion are obviously going to the guestlist. This is the type of band people will camp out to see, and they're giving tickets out first come, first served. Translation: YOU PROBABLY AREN'T GETTING IN, no matter what system they implement. If they gave out wristbands-good-for-a-ticket before 3pm (which was the time they said you couldn't line up before), then that's definitely kind of messed up, but then again, a giant mob of people showed up, and some of those people that got tickets slept in their spot in line last night! If you got there at 3pm and found out it was sold out already, at least you didn't have to wait in line at all.
If you didn't get tickets, look at it this way... you're now free to see all the more interesting shows happening around town like tUnE-YaRds, Cibo Matto, Sharon Jones, Elvis Depressedly, Doomriders, Single Mothers, The Feelies, Philip Glass, and The Blow. Or you can set yourself up for even further disappointment by using your new found free time to try and weasel your way in to that Vice shindig.
August Alsina recovering from stage fall; Papers say Usher should have picked better openers (to help sell tickets)
"Usher is preparing for his upcoming North America trek, dubbed the The UR Experience Tour, however ticket sales reportedly have been lackluster.August Alsina can't catch a break. The up and coming R&B singer recently collapsed on stage at Irving Plaza in NYC, as you can see in the scary video below. He then spent two weeks in the hospital before being discharged. The exact reasons for the fall and hospital stay are unclear, though TMZ says he later had seizures and ended up in a coma. "August's rep tells us doctors are prescribing lots of rest before he attempts the tour [with Usher]. We're told the seizures were the result of a head injury when he fell -- and August doesn't need medication."
Sources tell the New York Post's Page Six that the crooner's 27-city outing is said to have sold only a small portion of the available seats.
"Usher's sales will be fine in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Toronto, but he's selling so badly in other markets that the good ones can't offset the bad ones," says one source.
In addition, tour promoter Live Nation could potentially lose $5 million due to soft ticket sales, which some insiders attribute to the lack of a strong opening act -- August Alsina and DJ Cassidy are currently on the roster." [ABC]

"London Grammar straight up killing it. @ Irving Plaza" - Tamara Cabrero
Like fellow Disclosure collaborator Sam Smith, UK synth pop trio London Grammar are now known for much more than their contribution to Settle, and have been selling out shows on their North American tour with Haerts, like last night's BrooklynVegan-presented NYC show at Irving Plaza (4/9). Their 10-song set (encore included) hit a bunch of the favorites from their 2013 EP Metal & Dust and debut LP If You Wait, including both releases' title tracks, "Strong," their cover of Kavinsky's Drive contribution, "Nightcall" and more. Pictures of the show are in this post.

Flatbush Zombies at North Coast Festival 2013 (more by James Richards IV)
Thanksgiving is upon us, and in addition to stuffing your face on Thursday, it also means looking for good deals on all your holiday shopping on Black Friday and Cyber Monday (and probably the rest of December). NYC music venues Irving Plaza and Gramercy Theatre are getting in on the Black Friday/Cyber Monday fun, and offering no Ticketmaster fees for all shows happening in December and January at Irving and Dec-Feb at Gramercy.
Starting at 12:01 AM on Friday (11/29), and running through 11:59 PM on Monday (12/2), you can get fee-less tickets to Flatbush Zombies (tix), A$AP Ferg (tix), Gwar (tix), Andrew WK (New Year's Eve) (tix), Mykki Blanco (New Year's Eve) (tix), Los Campesinos!/Speedy Ortiz (tix), and more.
Unfortunately not part of this deal because it happens in April, but you can still get tickets to our BrooklynVegan-presented London Grammar show at Irving Plaza.
London Grammar remixed by Joe Goddard, touring in 2014, playing Irving Plaza after SXSW (dates & a BrooklynVegan presale)
UK electronic pop trio London Grammar, who were one of the collaborators on Disclosure's Settle and also released their own debut LP If You Wait this year, were in North America not long ago, and they've announced that they'll return in 2014. We already knew they'd be coming for SXSW, and they'll do other shows on our side of the Atlantic around then too. Those dates include a BrooklynVegan-presented NYC show happening on April 9 at Irving Plaza (their last NYC show was a sold out one at the smaller Gramercy Theatre). Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (11/22) at 10 AM and there will be a BrooklynVegan presale starting Thursday (11/21) at 9 AM (check back Thursday morning for the password). After that, Live Nation and Music Geeks presales start Thursday at 10 AM. All currently announced dates are listed below, but stay tuned for more too.
When London Grammar's September/October tour hit Seattle, they recorded a KEXP session, which was recently uploaded and can be watched in full below.
The trio are also set to release a single/EP for the track "Nightcall" which was on their debut LP, and that will be out on November 8. That will feature a remix of the track by Hot Chip's Joe Goddard. You can listen to that, along with those videos and the list of tour dates, below...

Built to Spill @ Irving Plaza
Indie rock stalwarts Built to Spill played a sold out show at Irving Plaza on Thursday night with openers the Warm Hair and Slam Dunk.
Anyone who's been to a lot of concerts has had to sit through at least one unforgettably bad opener. For me, the Warm Hair has officially usurped the title of worst of the worst all the bad openers I've ever sat through. I was honestly left wondering if Built to Spill had lost a bet and had to include them on their national tour, or if I'd just witnessed an Andy Kaufman-esque performance art piece about a washed up J. Geils wannabe and I hadn't been let in on the joke. It even got so bad that the crowd started chanting for Built to Spill before the Warm Hair had finished playing.
Built to Spill took the stage shortly before 10 and tore through two solid hours. They played a fair number of 90s and early aughts material, including fan favorites "Carry the Zero," "I Would Hurt a Fly," "Center of the Universe," and "Fly Around My Pretty Little Miss." About halfway through their set they busted out a raucous rendition of Captain Beefheart's "Abba Zabba" with guitarist Brett Netson on lead vox -- and on top of the stacks at Irving. (Full set list below)
They led off their encore with two covers -- Blue Oyster Cult's "(Don't Fear) the Reaper" and the Smiths' "How Soon Is Now?" For me, Martsch has always been one of those guitarists whose style has been immediately recognizable, like a sonic fingerprint. So, it was fascinating to see how, despite straight renditions of the covers, Martsch's unique sound still shone through.
Pictures of the show are in this post. More of them along with the full setlist and all tour dates, below...

FLAG @ Irving Plaza, 9/19/2013
FLAG are one of two groups currently touring with Black Flag members and playing their songs, this one featuring original memebers Keith Morris, Dez Cadena, Chuck Dukowski, and Bill Stevenson, along with guitarist Stephen Egerton. They just wrapped up their tour with fellow LA punks TSOL and Cerebral Balzy and one of the last stops was at Irving Plaza last week (9/19). Though controversy and lawsuits abound between the two Flags, the crowd at Irving Plaza didn't seem to care. Pictures from that show are in this post.
You can also catch Cerebral Ballzy in NYC when they play The Grand Victory on 10/17 (tickets). More pictures from Irving Plaza, a sweet shot of audience members Jerry Only and John Joseph included, below...

Sigur Ros sent out the following message today:
a band note about madison square garden showThe MSG show was first announced as part of tour in November 2012.
almost a dozen years ago we played our first nyc show at irving plaza. we'd originally booked to do angel orensanz, but it blew out fast and we had to move to the bigger room. even so, all the way through the subsequent beacon theaters, united palaces, radio city music halls, even, we never thought we'd get to play madison square garden. it just seemed so...iconic?, establishment?, or maybe just big? when we performed downstairs at the madison square theater in 2006, billy joel was doing a 15-night run above us. that seemed like the right order of things. and yet, here we are, two weeks out from what we can only described as the big one!
we are currently "warming up" in europe, so that when we hit the east coast we are the real hot tamale for y'all. of course, we would say the show's great, but, you know what?, it is. there will be a bunch of new songs and all the stuff we currently love the most from our back pages, all set to the best and brightest production we've ever managed to cram in a small fleet of trucks. most of the show's sold, but there are still some tickets left with the building just having opened up more seats at $35. plus, everyone buying tickets gets a free 3-track digital ep of new material, which will be sent out in advance of the show. we're excited. we hope you are too.

Blonde Redhead tell us their Top 10 of 2012; win tickets to their New Year's Eve show at Irving Plaza
Blonde Redhead at FFF Fest 2011 (more by Fred Pessaro // BBG)
Blonde Redhead have been quiet for most of 2012 (perhaps spent writing songs for their next album) but will play NYC on New Year's Eve at Irving Plaza with openers Beach Fossils (whose new album features vocals from BR's Kazu Makino). Tickets are still available but if you'd like to go for free, we're giving away a pair of tickets. Details on how to enter are below.
For a glimpse at what Blonde Redhead did do this year, the band gave us a Top 10 of 2012 list that includes, travel, food, parties, memories, live shows... and albums too (Dirty Projectors made their favorite). Check out their list below.

The room was only half full by the time Chris, Kim, Matt and Ben returned to the stage for their second, and only true encore last night at Irving Plaza (11/13). Most assumed the show was over after the curtain went down and the house music went on, but the diehards forced the band back back on stage to play Badmotorfinger's breakout single, "Rusty Cage". The intimate record release show was technically the band's third in two days (they played the Ed Sullivan Theater and with Chris at Bowery Ballroom one day earlier), but it was their first proper gig on the isle of Manhattan in more than 15 years (they played Jones Beach, Prudential Center and Atlantic City in 2011). And the reunited foursome delivered again this time around
With all four players back in the fold and no support band to warm the crowd, the momentum would belong wholly to Soundgarden. The energy in the room in the moments before the quartet hit the stage was palpable, and when the band finally did open with Ultramega OK's "Incessant Mace" and eventually transitioned to "Jesus Christ Pose" it was clear that the older-skewing crowd was into it. Way into it. Like 35-year olds crowd-surfing into it.
One of the greatest things about Soundgarden was always the individuality between the players... a meeting of four forces that formed a bit of a less-virtuosic, "grunge version" of The Who. Ben Shepard's low slung bass and tone always cut through the mix, and coupled with Matt Cameron's always impressive drumming that never feels overly showy, they were one of the tightest rhythm sections in popular music. Kim Thayil's beef-stroganoff-riffs always felt intricate yet astonishingly simple. And last but not least, pretty boy Chris Cornell's high-pitched wail soared above it all. When Soundgarden split, it was the dissolution of four individuals that formed a whole.
The reunion has been kind with tons of interest from fans. And as a band, they are well-prepared and Cornell's voice has clearly aged like a fine whiskey. Each of the individual players haven't lost a step. Their set was well in tune with the audience's needs, yet included plenty of material from their new album King Animal which was released this week (setlist below). Soundgarden is clearly as good or better than a reunited band should be.
Yet I couldn't help but be disappointed by sound. Kim Thayil's thunder seemed toned down. Soundgarden came up in the era and scene that bore greats like Melvins, Nirvana, Mudhoney and so many more, yet at Irving Plaza, the guitar muscle was sorely lacking. The individual players were barely distinguishable... unlike all of the cymbals and hi-hats. This was a heavy band that pop met in the middle, never a band that went down the pop road willfully and purposely.
Either way, Irving Plaza is much too small for a band of this size. Look for the mix to be vastly improved (hopefully) at one of their upcoming bigger shows. Until then, check out more pictures and the setlist from Irving, below.

Soundgarden are set to release King Animal, their first album since 1996's Down on the Upside, and first since the band reunited in 2010, on November 13 and they've just announced that they'll play three intimate North American shows in support of it. Those shows happen in NYC, Toronto, and LA. The NYC show happens the day of the album's release, November 13 at Irving Plaza. Tickets for that show go on sale November 9 at 10 AM, and if you pre-order King Animal at Soundgarden's website before 11:59 PST on November 7, you'll gain access to a presale which begins November 8 at noon.

"Listen, I just watched OFF! and The Spits. I know nothing about with binders or whatnot, but Keith Morris lectured me about voting. #punk" - Scare Gardscare
The Spits @ Irving Plaza - - 10/16/2012
CMJ at Irving Plaza (where there are big shows every night this week) began Tuesday night with the touring combo of OFF!, The Spits and Double Negative. It was a night of angry-not-punk rock... From a recent Rolling Stone article:
"With part of the hardcore mentality there became this batch of rules," [OFF!'s Keith] Morris tells Rolling Stone. "If somebody says, 'Well, you're hardcore' or 'You're punk rock,' I'm not gonna argue with you - except I'm not any of that stuff. I'm 57 years old. I'm just angry, and I'm pissed off."Though it continues:
"What we're doing now is kind of like a party," Morris says. "And we invited some of the bands that we believe are the best to be playing with us, to make this special, to make our party on wheels something that we want a lot of different people to come to."The party on wheels continues TONIGHT IN NJ (for those who missed the Irving show because they were home watching the debate).

Best Coast at Terminal 5 in July (more by Chris La Putt)
Last year, a video made internet rounds of Best Coast covering Blink 182's "Dammit" at one of her shows, and soon after she contributed vocals to New Found Glory's 2011 LP, Radiosurgery. But Best Coast's pop punk love doesn't stop there. It's just been announced that Best Coast will open for Green Day on their upcoming tour which hits Brooklyn's Barclays Center on January 16. (Tickets for that show are still available.) Maybe this also has something to do with Green Day's desire for power pop, garage rock, and a return to the simplicity of Dookie?
This tour kicks off in January, 2013 but in advance of it, Green Day stopped by NYC for an initimate show at Irving Plaza on Saturday (9/15). At that show, they played a 38-song set spanning their career and included eight songs from their Lookout! Records days. The setlist and a video from that show are below.
You can also stream ¡Uno!, the first of their three upcoming albums, in its entirety at the band's facebook page (in exchange for liking the page).

Ariel Pink at Irving Plaza - 9/12/12 (via Leandro Justen)
As mentioned, Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti are on tour now (a tour that hit Austin recently) in support of their new album, Mature Themes, and the tour hits NYC TONIGHT (9/14) at Webster Hall with BODYGUARD (aka James Ferraro) and TEEN. Tickets for tonight's show are still available. All tour dates are listed below.
After the Webster Hall show BODYGUARD will head to 285 Kent for a show with three secret artists. Any guesses on who they might be?
You might be aware that Ariel Pink was also in NYC a few days earlier and played a private Proenza Schouler Fashion Week party at Irving Plaza on Wednesday (9/12), which is pictured above. If you were at the party, how was it? Weyes Blood (aka fromer Jackie-O Motherfucker member Natalie Mering), who plays with Sun Araw soon, was at the show and sang backup vocals with Ariel Pink for his song "Early Birds." Wonder if Ariel has any surprises like that in store for tonight.
Speaking of shows happening in Manhattan tonight, Holy Other will be opening for Amon Tobin at Hammerstein Ballroom tonight (9/14). Tickets for tonight's show are still available. Amon Tobin is also DJing a boat party on Saturday.

JAMC at Irving Plaza, 9/13/2012
The Jesus and Mary Chain played their first of two NYC reunion shows at Irving Plaza last night (9/13), backed by support from The Psychic Paramount and The Vandelles. The band, who also hit Hopscotch on this tour, returns tonight to close out their stay. Unfortunately I arrived shortly before The Jesus and Mary Chain got on stage, so I missed the openers but pictures of the Reid brothers and Co are in this post.
To say that I am a huge fan of JAMC is a bit of an understatement; Psychocandy is one of my favorite records ever. My last experience with them was during their reunion tour in 2007, and I was more than a little disappointed with their "stage show" that night at Webster Hall. That said, their music has meant so much to me over the years, that I decided to give it another go.
But some things are better left in your head. The brothers Reid definitely had a great setlist (see it below), but there was a looseness (a few times they were just plain sloppy) that wasn't befitting a "professional band," let alone one that charges around $50 for their shows and his been around for close to 30 years. That noisy guitar tone that marked those early records is not in the same city, let alone ballpark. And though it seems to fit the persona, Jim Reid's vocal delivery is a hair above full-on sleepwalk.
But all that said, there is nothing taking away from those songs, so despite my misgivings it was still great to hear them open with "Snakedriver" and play classics like "Reverence" and "Just like Honey" (anybody know who sang backing vocals?) though "Sometimes Always" would have been nice (yes, I know that Hope Sandoval isn't exactly the easiest pin down, let alone replace live).
Pictures from Irving Plaza, including the setlist, are below.

Big K.R.I.T. at Pitchfork Fest 2012 (more by Fred Pessaro // BBG)
Big K.R.I.T. released his first official album (following a number of mixtapes), Live From the Underground, earlier this year via Def Jam. It's a solid album and continues to prove that K.R.I.T. is one of the most consistent rappers (and producers) in today's game but, like his other recent mixtapes, it lacks a standout single like "Country Shit." He recently made a video for album track, "What U Mean" (featuring Ludacris), which you can watch below.
K.R.I.T. is currently on a tour supporting the album, which hits NYC on September 20 at Irving Plaza with Slim Thug. Tickets for the NYC show are on sale now.
A list of all dates and the video are below.

Revelation Records show triple confirmed (Texas is The Reason and Into Another playing too?) UPDATED
by BBG
OFFICIAL flyers
The previously discussed dates (10/11 - 10/14) for the Revelation Records 25h Anniversary show have been confirmed publicly by the label who has now released a second flyer. The first was the one with the "X" that we posted about 6/17 (which went up on the Revelation site the next day) and now we have this second flyer which clearly points out the state of Texas. Can we look forward to Chain of Strength with Texas is The Reason? Seems alot more likely than Quicksand.
UPDATE: Looks like Into Another is on board, from the looks of the flyer below (that came from the Revelation Records website).

Paddling for one, two, or three.
Grab a friend and your pet, or take the whole family out for a day on the water in the Necky Kayaks Manitou II Tandem Kayak. Two adults comfortably fit in the fore and aft seating, while a small child or pet can use the midship jumper seat. Necky borrowed this boat's streamlined shape from the design of its touring kayaks, and this allows you to cover long stretches of open water quickly, efficiently, and with ultimate comfort.
- Streamlined hull shape mirrors that of touring kayaks for straight, steady paddling over open water
- Dual cockpit design can be configured for two adult paddlers, two adult paddlers and a small middle passenger, or a single adult paddler (in the aft seat)
- Middle jump seat is perfect for a child and keeps the child within easy reach of the aft paddler
- ACS seating system features an easy-to-use and easy-to-see adjustability system for maximum comfort
- Adjust backrest height, thigh support, lumber support, and backrest angle to achieve the perfect fit
- Seat material feels soft, drains water quickly, and uses a channeled texture that improves airflow between the seat and your butt and back
- Cockpit Support Track foot-brace system uses padded pedals (great for bare feet), and the pedals can be adjusted along a track to accommodate a wide range of leg lengths
- Quick Seal hatch cover has a unique gasket that forms a tight seal so your stern storage area stays dry
- Cross Lock Buckle system uses a single quick-release buckle to tension four straps that keep the hatch cover securely in place
- Bungee-cord paddle keepers give you secure storage for your paddle so you can go hands-free when you need to
- Bow and stern carry handles make it easy to unload this boat from a vehicle and load it into the water
- Item #NEC0099

Great Tandem Kayak!
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I purchased this boat for a flat-water trips and cruising around the bays of the Pacific... has been a great multi-cockpit tandem boat! The rear hatch has surprising room which we were able to stuff 2 sleeping bags and a tent in on my last trip. The rear cockpit also has a little more extra room for extra gear, dry bags, or for more leg room. The front cockpit is defiantly for a the smaller folks (under 6 ft).
Decent multi use kayak
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
Purchased boat for a spare and guest boat use, also to take out inexperienced paddlers on day trips. Very adaptable for any size of paddler, easily paddled as a single. This is a rec kayak, not suitable for rough waters. Great for relaxing day paddle on flat water. Tracks very well. With short paddles (under 215cm) synchronized paddling not essential like in most tandems as paddlers can space out as they do not interfere with each others stroke. Outfitting is good quality, seats are comfortable, if you are used to back band seating these seat backs do interfere with full rotation paddling. Outfitting is definitely intended for recreational use.
The boat lacks front flotation or bulkhead, so pumping out after wet/re-entry is a problem, the boat can be swamped pretty full. For a rec tandem it does have a decent glide and is fairly quick for a boat this wide. It does give a very dry ride in choppy water. If you have ever paddled a single manatou it handles in a similar fashon. Non experienced paddlers may need a rudder to aid in turning, tracking is very straight. For a rec tandem boat is fairly light and easy to transport and portage when compared with a sit on top kayak.
I typically do not recommend a tandem for a starter kayak, (that is why they call them divorce boats), but this boat may be an exemption. Very capable flat water rec boat.
Me and my wife wanted to start kayaking and chose this tandem to do this together....I don't understand why it would be called a divorce boat....we want to be in just one boat why would u get a divorce just from kayaking In the same boat that don't make any sense at all to me?
Looks great as a tandem. How is it in single use? How adjustable are the seats for comfort?
Works great as a solo. I've been using it with my dog in the bow cockpit, with myself in the stern. Both seats move nearly the entire length of the cockpit forward and back.
Comes with a rudder?
Comes with a rudder?
I don't see a rudder in the photos, and it would be something special on a kayak of this type, so they'd crow about it in the copy. So I don't think there's a rudder here.
David is correct, the rudder does not come standard with this model but we do carry the kit for those who are interested.
What type of material is this made out of?...
What type of material is this made out of? Plastice/hard shell fiber?
The hull is made of polyethylene molded plastic.
What year were these Necky 2 kayaks made? And why when I just called to purchase a rudder kit the salesman named Jimmy said there is not one available for these. I also wanted to purchase the Kayak plus paddles however decided against it now as someone is lying you just lost 1,400.00 +

About Aid Watch
The Aid Watch blog is a project of New York University's Development Research Institute (DRI). This blog is principally written by William Easterly, author of "The Elusive Quest for Growth: Economists' Adventures and Misadventures in the Tropics" and "The White Man's Burden: Why the West's Efforts to Aid the Rest Have Done So Much Ill and So Little Good," and Professor of Economics at NYU. It is co-written by Laura Freschi and by occasional guest bloggers. Our work is based on the idea that more aid will reach the poor the more people are watching aid.

(hidden for your protection)
A bunch of you have been emailing with glee over the fact that while Maxine Waters is not currently at the Bernanke "grilling," she did get a name check by gal-pal Gwen Moore, who brought up The Rolling Stone Article, which MW had apparently passed on to her (with favorite passages selected and the phrase "giant vampire squid" circled and underlined with a note to "use this").
Unfortunately, we cannot share in your excitement because honestly? What's been up with Max these days? She hasn't brought it in like, forever, and now she's not even here? Has she lost her edge? Has she been planning something HUGE and doesn't have time to waste on bearded fruits (Greenspan's words, not mine) like Bernanke? We need an explanation. And we need this, as a reminder, of the sort of thing we're looking for:

Last month, Kevin addressed the question of whether simultaneous downloading is theft. His answer:

I've wanted to check out iPodderSP but it seems their site has been down for the past week or so. Does someone point me to another place to get it or share your copy?
When should a Blogger be treated as a Journalist?
NYT has an article addressing the cases Apple has brought against three online sites. These cases center around theft of trade secrets, but the question before the court is whether bloggers should be treated as journalists under a California statute that allows reporters to keep their sources confidential.

Marc Orchant at The Tablet PC Weblog passes along some good tips for preventing identity theft.

Album Reviews: 50 Cent - The Massacre
When I was hip-hop director of my college radio station in 1999, I received a promo copy of 50 Cent's debut album, Power of the Dollar. As soon as I listened to it, I was a huge fan. It remains one of my favorite rap albums of all time. It also cemented 50 among my favorite lyricits, with lines like: "An old timer who schooled me told me, don't burn bridges my friend / Imagine if the G.Dub closed and your ass had to swim." Shortly afterwards, as the story goes, he was shot 9 times and dropped from Universal. The album was never released. (As Jada said, he had to be shot nine times to get rich).
Google Compute
It seems Google has begun/is continuing the process of rolling out Google Compute to Toolbar users. If I recall correctly, this was actually available for a couple of years. You could manually install the client, and there was talk awhile back of installing it on the toolbar. This morning is the first time I've seen this show up here.

AMIDEAST looks forward to assisting you during your decision-making and application process. For additional information regarding eligibility, grants, and how to apply, please review the resources available here!
The Fulbright Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, is the flagship international educational exchange program designed to foster mutual understanding among nations through educational and cultural exchange. Established in 1946, the Fulbright Program has provided over 360,000 participants—chosen for their academic merit and leadership potential — with the opportunity to study, teach and conduct research, exchange ideas and contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns. The program elects graduate students, young professionals and artists from abroad to conduct research and study in the United States.
The primary source of funding for the Fulbright Program is an annual appropriation by the U.S. Congress to the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA). Participating governments and host institutions, corporations and foundations in foreign countries and in the United States also provide support.
The Fulbright Foreign Student Program is administered by binational Fulbright Commissions and U.S. Embassies. All Foreign Student Program applications are processed by these offices. AMIDEAST is one of the cooperating agencies contracted by the U.S. Department of state to administer the Fulbright program. AMIDEAST administers the Fulbright Foreign Student Program for the Middle East and North Africa on behalf of ECA.
The scholarship is a merit-based grant that provides up to two-years of funding for graduate-level study at a U.S. university. For over four decades AMIDEAST has been placing students from across the MENA region into universities throughout the United States. It has been integral to the success of the Fulbright Program, serving as a convener of academic and cultural exchange and dialogue. AMIDEAST continues today to support countless Fulbrighters to experience the opportunity of exchange and successfully complete their grants in the United States. AMIDEAST's administration of the Fulbright Program is predicated on the belief that citizens from across the United States and the MENA region are more likely to address and solve shared global challenges when they have the opportunity to first encounter and learn about and from one another.
The J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board (FSB) was created by Congress to supervise the Fulbright Program. This 12-member Board, appointed by the President of the United States, works in cooperation with ECA, the bi-national Fulbright Commissions and Foundations, and the Public Affairs Sections of U.S. Embassies abroad, to administer the Program. The FSB sets policies and procedures for administration of the Fulbright Program and has final authority for selection of all grantees.

Had it for 7 months for a daily morning coffee use and then it died. The blade had come loose from the spindle and just flopped around. Impossible to take apart and couldn't find any support parts manuals (other than the user manual) in order to fix it. Wouldn't get another one because it couldn't even last a year.
