Last year, NYC got its first-ever three-day country music festival, FarmBorough. It was recently announced that it would return in 2016, but now it's been cancelled. They write:
FarmBorough Festival will not return to Randall's Island in June of 2016.Info on refunds here.
All of us at FarmBorough Festival appreciate the support we have received, but conditions dictate that we redirect our energy at this time.
We appreciate the opportunity you afforded us to present FarmBorough in New York City, and apologize for any inconvenience.
This is a rough blow to the founders, whose are already up against Panorama Fest coming in to compete with their established Governors Ball. Earlier today, GovBall revealed its daily lineups.

Panorama -- the East Coast music festival from Coachella producers Goldenvoice -- is happening, now set for July 22 - 24 at Randall's Island, as Billboard reports. The new dates are a good seven weeks after Randall's Island music festival Governors Ball (instead of merely two weeks after, which was a point of contention previously). The official statement from Goldenvoice's Mark Shulman:
We look forward to bringing Panorama to New York City and introducing a new festival that showcases today's top music acts. We're committed to creating an event that will provide significant benefits to New York City with the level of experience and meticulous attention to detail for which Goldenvoice is knownWill Panorama be where NYC gets LCD Soundsystem and Guns N' Roses? No word on lineup or tickets just yet. Stay tuned, but we can be pretty sure it won't include any of the artists playing Governors Ball, and will more than likely have similarities to the Coachella 2016 lineup.
Panorama was originally set to take place in Queens in June, but despite connected lobbyists on the case, permits were not approved in time. This is obviously a backup plan, but Goldenvoice still hopes to bring Panorama to Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens. "We look forward to continuing our discussions with NYC Parks to create an event to take place in Queens in the future."
Governors Ball, the other Coachella-like festival on Randall's Island, was named after Governors Island which was its first year location. Panorama, now on Randall's Island, is also named after its original spot. "The festival takes its name from the Panorama of the City of New York, a nearly-10,000 -square-foot to-scale model of the city located in Queens Museum."
EDM-focused fest Electric Zoo is also on Randall's Island.

"On June 5, day one of the three-day gathering -- the east coast's answer to Coachella -- many wondered whether [Drake] would shine during his headlining set, memories of his lukewarm California performances still fresh in peoples' minds. Fortunately for fans who trekked out to New York's Randall's Island, Drake has something to prove. And did he ever.Drake's full setlist and some Instagrams from his set can be perused below. We'll have a full set of pictures from day one coming soon including St. Vincent, My Morning Jacket, The Decemberists, and Chromeo who brought out Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig during their set.
Drake took the stage with "Legend," the opening to his latest mixtape, If You're Reading This It's Too Late, launching into a 90-minute set that blazed through much of his catalog, including the tracks "Over," "Started From the Bottom," "Worst Behavior" and "0 to 100 / The Catch Up")." [Billboard]
Earlier in the day, another hip hop set didn't go as well and Rae Sremmurd's Slim Jimmy left the fest in an ambulance.
Governors Ball continues today (Saturday) with sets from Bjork, Little Dragon, Ryan Adams, Future Islands, Kate Tempest, White Lung, Kiesza, Sharon Van Etten, a new stage show by Deadmau5 and more.
Some of the sets will be broadcast on SiriusXM.
If you're going, Sharon Van Etten has some tips.

FarmBorough, first-ever three-day country music festival in NYC, happening at Randall's Island this month
As you may know, Governors Ball starts today with three days of rock, pop, R&B, dance and hip hop taking over Randall's Island Park. That's not the only festival happening there this month, though. Randall's Island gets its first-ever country music festival, FarmBorough on June 26-28. (FarmBorough also claims to be the first-ever three-day country music fest in NYC.)
Produced by the same people that do Governors Ball (Founders Entertainment) and Live Nation, the lineup is mostly mainstream country (Dierks Bentley, Brad Paisley, Luke Bryan) but there are a few troublemakers like Dwight Yoakam, Sturgill Simpson, and Chris Stapleton.
"We've been dreaming about bringing a country festival to New York for a long time, and we feel like the time is right now. We have the perfect partner in Founders and the perfect location on Randall's Island to really bring fans and artists something special," said Brian O'Connell, Live Nation President of Country Touring. "New York City is a global destination. Country fans from all over the world can come to the city and take advantage of all it has to offer, while enjoying three days of the best country music acts too."Three-day passes are on sale (no single-day passes available) and you can check out the full FarmBorough lineup here.
"We're thrilled to bring our hometown of New York City its first-ever Country music festival. This has been many years in the making, and we couldn't be more excited to launch FarmBorough in June," said Co-founder and Partner at Founders Entertainment, Jordan Wolowitz. "Brian O'Connell and his team at Live Nation are the ideal partners for this venture, and together we form a festival dream team. With Governors Ball, and now FarmBorough, New York City is host to premier, world class, music festivals."
This of course reminds us of Coachella's country festival spin-off Stagecoach, and not just because Sturgill Simpson was a rare artist booked to play both Coachella and Stagecoach, just like he is a rare artist booked to play both Governors Ball and FarmBorough.
Your water supply may be filled with drugs thanks to music festivalgoers (Electric Zoo goes on pre-sale today)
It's no secret that drugs are a thing at music festivals, and especially at EDM festivals, but apparently it doesn't stop there. The Washington Post points out that there was a new study done that suggests these drugs could be ending up in our water supply. From the article:
It turns out that massive music festivals might not just be a noise disruption for locals -- they might be causing issues for nearby aquatic life, too. According to a study published Wednesday in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, these events could be introducing dangerous drugs like ecstasy and ketamine into the water supply, leaving traces of them in rivers and soil.In other news, tickets for NYC's Electric Zoo go on early bird pre-sale at 11:59 PM today (1/16). if you didn't sign up for that, the general on-sale begins Monday (1/19). That happens on Randall's Island from September 4-6 this year, so if you see any fish tripping balls in the Hudson that weekend, now you know why.
The study is part of an effort to research so-called "emerging contaminants," (ECs) or things like drugs (both prescribed and recreational) and hygiene products that end up in waste water. According to recent studies, only about half of these contaminants are actually removed during the water treatment process. So eventually, they can end up back in our drinking water -- and in our fish.

According to the press release:
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and Founders Entertainment, today announced The Governors Ball three-day music festival will return to Randall's Island in 2015 from June 5th-7th. A limited amount of pre-sale tickets will go on-sale Thursday, November 13 at 12pm EST at www.govball.com, and the lineup for the fifth year festival will be announced in mid January.Who do you think is going to be on the lineup this year?
"I wonder how guarded these drug amnesty bins will be at electric zoo?
Cause I want one." - Brian Christopher
photos by Scott Lynch for Gothamist
As you probably heard on the news, NYC EDM festival Electric Zoo, went down without a single reported overdose over the weekend. This may have been in part due to their major effort to educate people and stop drugs from getting in, and maybe.... thanks to the drug amnesty bins that were placed on premises. I wonder if anyone really dropped anything in to one of those. More pictures like the two above by Scott Lynch, at Gothamist.
Electric Zoo was not without its problems though. Its third and final day was shut down early due to fear of rain. Many have taken to Facebook to voice their frustration, where so far all the fest has said is: "Many of our fans have asked about refunds for today's show. We appreciate your patience. More info will be posted soon".
One angry comment on their page has been liked over 450 times, and reads:
Today was my fiancé and I's 2 year anniversary. If it weren't for our good friends, you'd have ruined it. Thanks for nothing. And if you delete this comment, I'll make it a review. Also: your security is horrid. Imbeciles in red shirts roving around looking for people stumbling over themselves (i.e. everyone dancing). You made my fiancé go to the medical tent (front for the NYPD) and detained her for over and hour in handcuffs without asking me (her fiancé), what the situation was. She had only had two drinks, but tripped on the ledge of the barrier at GRiZ while walking backwards. You bruised both her arms (we have pictures!) and only released her after finding out I was in the military. Your red shirts went from telling me to "Go f!%# myself to thanking me for my service." Awful. Shame on all of you.---
Billboard points out:
There were about six hours of music remaining when the event was called off, and organizers emphasized there would be no re-entry. Sunday's storms passed within an hour, leading many fans to lambast organizers on social media for jumping the gun, especially as the Made in America festival soldiered on just two hours south in Philadelphia. But the risk of pushing through the inclement weather was probably too high. (Remember what happened at the Hudson Project in July.)
Still, eager to make the most of the long weekend, many of the DJs who were scheduled to play Sunday night -- Kaskade, Bingo Players, Fedde le Grand -- took to Twitter to assure fans they were in talks with city clubs to play make-up sets. Slake, a relatively new venue near Penn Station, scooped the most impressive last-minute party lineup with a bill that included What So Not, Chase and Status, Heroes x Villains, Milo & Otis, LOUPVCK, Netsky, Mat Zo, Alex English, and more. Tickets reportedly sold out in less than 30 minutes. Elsewhere, Fedde le Grand performed at Pacha and ATB played club Marquee.

a rainy Electric Zoo emptying out (via @daninthemoon)
NYC EDM festival Electric Zoo began on Friday (8/29) on Randall's Island, but as you can see in the tweet above, the remainder of the festival has been cancelled due to weather. The people at E Zoo continue, "We apologize to fans, but your safety is our main concern" and "please follow all NYPD and #EZoo security instructions. Thank you!"
a scene from The Molly
EDM festivals can't catch a break lately. Every week there seems to be another overdose story in the news, including last week's news that a drug dealer was arrested in connection with deaths at the NYC Electric Zoo fest in 2013. Despite the setbacks, Electric Zoo is returning to Randall's Island this year, but with heightened security and new education measures which now include a campaign called "Come To Life":
"Come To Life - or CTL - is about rolling life, not face. It's about not missing one moment of the lights, the music, the celebration. It's about connecting with music lovers from around the world who've come together to experience the time of their lives. It's about being present and making the right choices. Every moment of Electric Zoo is for you - don't miss any of it!"They go on to say that "Electric Zoo strongly advocates against the use of drugs", and there's a PSA video called "The Molly". Watch that and read the press release below...

As helicopters circled above the green at Governors Ball on Saturday (June 7), a flock of fans migrated from the Strokes on the main stage to the small Gotham stage ready in dark blues. As many walked through to catch Spoon on the Honda stage, those that stayed were rewarded with an ominous drone that echoed over the crowd. The noise pop group Sleigh Bells took the stage, as drum beats began the show, Alexis Krauss taking the stage last in her signature look of black leather jacket, white tee, and jean shorts. She moved her hands in the air and two stepped with her hair dangling below, her signature dance move. [Billboard]Our final set of Governors Ball pictures, of a few of the artists from Saturday including Sleigh Bells, are in this post.

Jamie xx w/ The xx in Austin in 2013 (more by Tim Griffin)
It was recently announced that NYC EDM festival Electric Zoo would be returning this year with drug-sniffing dogs, patdowns, plainclothes security officers, and a required anti-drug PSA after last year's festival resulted in two drug-related deaths (and one reported case of sexual assault and 31 arrests) which cancelled day 3.
Now the initial lineup has been announced and amongst all the EDM heavy hitters is The xx's Jamie xx. Other than that, it's the typical E Zoo type stuff you probably want to steer clear of like David Guetta, Zedd, Armin Van Buuren, Laidback Luke, Kaskade, Benny Benassi, Datsik, and more, plus many more TBA. They've been known to add cool stuff as the fest approaches, so stay tuned.
Electric Zoo goes down Labor Day Weekend (8/29-31) on Randall's Island. Tickets are on sale now. Full initial lineup below...

Phish at MSG in 2012 (more by Ryan Barkan)
Hippies rejoice! If the Governors Ball lineup made you say "I'd go to a festival on Randall's Island, but there won't be enough long-winded jams at this one," you're in luck. Phish will do a three-night run on the island from July 11 - 13, which isn't actually a "festival" but may very well feel like one. That three-night run in NYC is only a few days after a three-night run in Saratoga Springs (7/3 - 7/5), and just before a CMAC show upstate (7/15). Tickets for all shows go on sale March 28.

Governors Ball safer thanks to Electric Zoo, potentially dryer this year ++ more we learned via their Reddit AMA
Governors Ball (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin)
The promoters and producers of NYC festival Governors Ball chatted with Reddit users yesterday. People could ask anything and everything, and they answered as best they could.
Did the drug related deaths at Electric Zoo affect their festival which also takes place on Randall's Island?
The tragic events that occurred at Electric Zoo have lead to new protocols and additional oversight from the City of NYC and the Parks department. More city agencies (and more folks from each agency) are involved in our planning meetings, and we are required to do many additional things, mostly safety related. That being said, the city has been a pleasure to deal with and they have been very professional and practical about things. Safety is their number 1 priority, and we feel the same way, so our interests are aligned there. - TWhat about all that rain and mud last year?
When we first heard about Tropical Storm Andrea it was 8 days out from the first day of the fest. By that time we have a Meterologist on call 24/7 to give us updates on the storms track, it's potential impact, etc. and we used that data to prep the site as much as we could for the coming rain. Unfortunately everything we did to prep the grounds was entirely negated by the massive amounts of rain we received. It was the most rainfall NYC has gotten in a 36 hour period EVER. That being said, during our repairs we did add in a new drainage line to help deal with rainfall, and we have had many convos with all city departments about how to address expected rainfall in the safest and best way possible. We have a new Weather plan which the City of NY have helped with, and we are better suited to deal with rain in 2014. That being said, and just being totally honest here, if we get 6 inches of rain in 36 hours again it will be another crazy year. However, let's think positive - it's gonna be beautiful and sunny and awesome! - TWhat day are vampire weekend and disclosure playing??
Bold question. VW on Sunday. Disclosure on Saturday. -YRAny after-shows?
TONS! And they're gonna rule. Info coming soon! -JWHow did they land the Strokes?
We have tried to book The Strokes every single year that Gov Ball has existed. They essentially have had an open invite to play when they wanted. We got a call from their agent at the very last minute, saying that they wanted to reunite and play at the festival. Dream come true for us. We're New York City kids, and they are the greatest NYC rock band of our generation. BOOM -JWRead much more at Reddit. Check out the whole 2014 lineup and get tickets too.

fans at Electric Zoo 2011 (more by Leia Jospe)
Electric Zoo faced some trouble over the weekend when two drug-related deaths and many hospitalizations led to the cancellation of day 3 (9/1). A Walk in the Park reports (via Gothamist):
A 16-year-old girl was sexually assaulted at the Electric Zoo Music Festival on Randall's Island NYC Park Advocates has learned.The Electric Zoo promoters will also be offering refunds for those who had tickets for Sunday. They write on Facebook:
The teen woke up on Friday under a van in a parking lot with her pants undone and bruises and scratches on her legs, according to several city sources.
Medical personnel at Cornell Medical Hospital later determined she was sexually assaulted.
Thirty-one people were also arrested according to the police including two felonies. Offenses ranged from drug sales, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and possession of controlled substances.
We will be issuing full, automatic 100% refunds for SUNDAY passes. 50% refund for 2-Day FRI/SUN passes, including 1/2 service fees. 33% refund for 3-Day FRI/SAT/SUN passes, including 1/3 service fees. We are processing refunds as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience. For more info, http://support.frontgatetickets.com/ or call 888-512-SHOW.--
Party's over for The Electric Zoo this year. From the Mayor's office:
Due to serious health risks, the Electric Zoo music festival on Randall's Island on Sunday, September 1st has been cancelled. The City recommended cancellation and the event promoters have agreed.The Daily News adds:
During the first two days of the Electric Zoo music festival, two concert-goers have died and at least four others became critically ill and have been placed in intensive care at area hospitals. Definitive causes of death have not yet been determined, however, both appear to have involved the drug MDMA (ecstasy, or molly). The Electric Zoo organizers have worked with City officials to reduce health risks at this event, but in view of these occurrences, the safest course is to cancel the remaining day of the event
The electronic dance music festival, in its fifth year, was scheduled to conclude Sunday with headlining deejay sets by Armin Van Buuren, Sebastiona Ingrosso, Steve Aoki and Laidback Luke.Our condolences go out to the families and friends of Jeffrey and Olivia.
But over the first two days of the festival, two attendees died from apparent overdoses of MDMA, nicknamed molly, an illegal drug typically combined with other chemicals in Ecstasy pills, officials said.
Jeffrey Russ, 23, of Rochester, was rushed to Harlem Hospital at 3:10 a.m. Saturday but could not be saved.
Olivia Rotondo, 20, of Providence, R.I., was taken to Metropolitan Hospital at 8:45 p.m. Saturday and died about 50 minutes later, police said. Six hours before she was rushed to the hospital, the University of New Hampshire student posted a final message on Twitter.
Back in June, the people behind Governors Ball said they'd be helping to restore Randall's Island, which was left as a giant mudpie after the festival. The restoration (as you can see above) is complete, and the following statement has been given:
The Governors Ball Music Festival is proud to announce the completion of restoration efforts at Randall's Island Park's Event Site to repair the grounds. Governors Ball is making good on their stated goal of leaving the park's event site in even better condition than it was before this year's sold-out festival, which was hit by record rains at the start of the June 7th-9th event.--
Governors Ball is honored to call Randall's Island Park home, and as New Yorkers themselves, the festival promoters at Founders Entertainment are especially dedicated to preserving and maintaining New York City's cherished public spaces. At the conclusion of this year's festival they immediately assumed responsibility for the cost of the restoration work, which included fully scraping, rototilling and then sodding the event site with 9 acres of hearty Kentucky Bluegrass. No time was wasted in this effort, and as soon as turf conditions were dry enough for restoration to go forward, work began. Founders contracted with DeLea Sod Farms, one of the most prestigious local sod and grass companies, for the project. Their long list of esteemed clients include the New York Yankees, among others.
In addition to field restoration, Governors Ball has invested in infrastructure improvements to the Randall's Island Park Event Site that will prevent future flooding and event site damage, including the installation of a drainage system on the west side of the event site. The investment will make the site more functional and better protected from future weather events. The move demonstrates Governors Ball promoters Founders Entertainment's long-term commitment to the park New York City's premier live music event calls home, and their dedication to protecting and preserving the event site so that it is available for all New Yorkers to enjoy for the months and years to come.
"Randall's Island Park is such a beautiful public space, and after this year's record rainfall resulted in lost grass and excessive mud in the event area, we knew immediately we had to restore the event site and leave it in even better condition than it was before Governors Ball took place. As New Yorkers who grew up going to Randall's Island often for sports, concerts, and other special events, the restoration wasn't just an ethical responsibility, it was a personal one. We have worked hand in hand with the Randall's Island Parks Alliance Turf Crew and the NYC Department of Parks to make sure all the work meets their professional standards. We are thrilled with the results, and we can't thank them enough for their support, and hard work throughout this process."
- Tom Russell, Yoni Reisman, and Jordan Wolowitz of Founders Entertainment
Governors (Beach) Ball (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin)
Governors Ball says:
The Governors Ball Music Festival is honored to call Randall's Island Park home and is working closely with the New York City Department of Parks and the Randall's Island Park Alliance to ensure it is in great condition for all New Yorkers to enjoy for the months and years to come. The Governors Ball aims to leave the Park in even better condition than it was before this year's Festival, which was hit by record rains earlier this month.Previously: Backyard Fest cancelled
Sodding work in the entire Harlem River event area will begin soon to the NYC Parks Department's specifications, following preparation work that has been done over the past few weeks. That prep work also was delayed by additional rain this month. Work is being done to make the land more durable in the future, including the installation of a drain to combat over saturation of the field. Governors Ball is working with RIPA and Parks to upgrade some other areas in the event space that were not damaged in this event.

Governors Ball wrapped up on Sunday (6/9) after a very soggy start. Despite the rain on Friday and the treks through the mud that followed for the next two days, it was still a weekend filled with tons of great music, and day 3 was no exception. We already talked a bit about the epic Kanye West set, and just posted pictures of The xx, who also played that day. More pictures of day 3, including sets of Grizzly Bear, Twin Shadow, Yeasayer, Haim, The Avett Brothers, and more, are in this post.

Kanye West at Governors Ball - 6/9/13
Kanye West wrapped up this year's muddy, yet successful, Governors Ball on Randall's Island with an epic headlining set on the main stage (6/9). If you weren't close to the stage, it was hard to see him, but that didn't even matter because his elaborate light/visual show was a huge spectacle on his own. He had multiple layers of lights across the back end of the stage, and the screens were back and forth between showing ominous images and distorted shots of Kanye performing on stage. He didn't get as crazy as he has in the past with a rant, but he did go on a short one in the middle of "Clique" about how he doesn't care about radio or trying to sell a million records anymore, he just cares about music.
In addition to playing the hits, Kanye also played material off of his upcoming new album, Yeezus, including "Black Skinhead" and "New Slaves," which he did on SNL, and three others, one possibly named "On Site" and another possibly named "I Am A God." Check out videos of him playing all five new songs, along with his full Governors Ball setlist, below. More pictures (like the one above) coming soon.

Flake is a brand of chocolate bar currently manufactured by Cadbury Ireland and consists of thinly folded Dairy Milk milk chocolate. The product was first developed in 1920 and was founded by an employee of Cadburys. When the excess from the moulds was drained off, it fell off in a stream and created folded chocolate with flaking properties. Since 1922 in Britain, Australia and Ireland ice cream vendors serve "99 Flakes" which are vanilla soft serve ice cream in a wafer cone in which a half size Flake bar is inserted in the top. Screwballs are similar but have a plastic cone rather than a wafer.

A Backward Glance at 'Sideways'
Monday night I'm going to be introducing a screening of Sideways at Brooklyn's Donna da Vine wine bar (378 Atlantic Ave.) at 8 p.m. I especially want to talk about the movie because a certain powerful critic (I won't name him, but two of his initials are "A" and "O") wrote a cheap, sleazy, opportunistic, and altogether scurrilous column to the effect that the film was acclaimed as intensely as it was because critics tend to be, like Sideways' protagonist, pudgy, elitist, misanthropic alcoholics with no lives and not the faintest hope of snaring a dishy blonde like Virginia Madsen. To which I say, "Yes, but "
The "but" I shall elucidate at the lovely Donna da Vine — and as a bonus I'll interview the owner-sommelier, Alyssa Becker, on the subject of why she has always been bored by Pinot Noir in particular and Burgundy in general. (Incidentally, no Pinot Noir will be sold, but there will be Merlot.)
Needless to say, I think Alyssa is bonkers. I once — in the early nineties, a decade before the novel Sideways — embarked on my own Central California Pinot Noir–tasting odyssey to drown sundry disappointments. Perhaps novelist Rex Pickett was in those tasting rooms.
Sideways is great, though, for reasons other than my own obsessions. It's a meditation — like so many these days, some of them directed and/or produced by Judd Apatow — on the American male's quest to hold on to (or regress to) the irresponsibility of childhood. More Monday, after a few glasses of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Curtis Stone 4-piece 12″ Forged-Aluminum Frying Pan Set
Your guests may seem a little excited when you bring out the good stuff, and we ain't talking about the 30-year-old Scotch. This set of two 12″ frying pans is when it's time to whip up the stuff, in the form of a fabulous breakfast or dinner. They feature forged aluminum bodies for durability and painted exteriors for stovetop-to-oven-to-table versatility.
Pepper Steak with Caramelized Brussels Sprouts
6 (6-ounce) center-cut beef tenderloin steaks (1½ inches thick)
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
3/4 cup dry red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon
1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts, halved lengthwise
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1. Using a mortar and pestle, coarsely crush the peppercorns. Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and sprinkle the coarsely crushed peppercorns over both sides of the steaks, patting to adhere.
2. Preheat a Curtis Stone 12-inch Frypan over high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the steaks. Cook the steaks for about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness.
3. Add the wine to the pan and simmer 30 seconds. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let rest. Continue simmering the wine until it is reduced to 1/4 cup, about 4 minutes.
Meanwhile, to prepare the Brussels sprouts:
1. In another Curtis Stone 12-inch Frypan, bring 1/2 cup of water to a boil over high heat. Add the sprouts, cover, and steam for about 3 minutes, or until bright green. Add the butter and cook uncovered over medium-high heat, tossing occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown. Season with salt. To serve, place the Brussels sprouts on plates. Slice the steaks across the grain and arrange the steak slices alongside the Brussels sprouts. Drizzle with the wine reduction and any accumulated juices from the steaks.

NOTE: Click on the headings below or the "online references" to view more detailed economic, revenue or expenditure data. Click on any highlighted bullet or text to view additional information, including charts and memos.
Year-to-Date Revenues: As of November 30, 2011, five months into the fiscal year, actual General Fund revenues totaled $263.8 million, which is 4.2 percent higher than FY 2011 for the same period. Most of this increase is related to real estate and personal property taxes.
Year-to-Date Expenditures: As of November 30, 2011, actual General Fund expenditures totaled $196.7 million, an increase of $8.7 million, or 4.7 percent, above expenditures for the same period last year. The revised budget reflects amounts that were appropriated in the supplemental appropriation ordinance approved in November. Personnel expenditures remain on par with last year. These personnel expenditures are just slightly higher than the budget, primarily because turnover savings are deducted from the budget on the first day of the fiscal year while the savings are realized during the year. Non-personnel spending increased 6.1 percent. For most departments, differences in spending patterns for non-personnel this early in the year reflect the timing of bill payments and not necessarily changes in spending patterns. We are, and will continue to be, closely monitoring and controlling these expenditures to be at or below budget.

It doesnt seem to be drying and it doesn't leave any residue on the skin unlike other body washes. For the price and the list of ingredients I can pronounce I will continue to buy this TJ body wash!

It feels tingly and smells great. It has really nice peppermint and eucalyptus oils in it too. Such a great deal for a low price. I also really like the hair shampoo and conditioner of the same scent line.

This smells delicious and sophisticated-- like peppermint at first, then you get a hint of eucalyptus what I think is rosemary. It's heavy, so it may no feel moisturizing in the way that thicker, creamier body washes do, but IT IS! If you read the ingredients you'll see it's packed with moisturizing oils. For $3 or $4, this is great!

Love love Trader Joes!

This is, and will continue to be, my go-to body wash. I've gone through all the usual - Body Shop, Bath/Body Works, L'Occitane, as well as all the drugstore washes. Nothing comes close to the feeling I get from this product. I smells absolutely wonderful - the peppermint is divine. It's so relaxing and all the ingredients are wonderful. The product washes off really well, never leaving a soapy residue, but it does do its job. I used to suffer from a lot of acne on the back and this body has helped so much. It has fantastic ingredients, mostly natural, which I love. The body wash lathers up so nicely and provides just enough moisture. The price can't be beat, the bottle is great too.

Wow, I LOVE this stuff! This would keep me in the shower all day if I could do that. It smells so good and washes well but doesn't overcleanse though I wouldn't call it moisturizing either. Just a great bodywash that smells great and is especially good for an A.M. shower.

One of the BEST body washes I have come across in a very long time. This stuff makes you feel very fresh and clean. The ingredients are mostly all natural, no animal testing and for the price I feel like I am ripping them off. If you are fan of using tea tree oil products, DO NOT pass this up at all.
Lathers very nicely, a little goes a very long way. The fragrance is earthy and doesn't linger. Perfect for a body wash to share with your boy.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Cool

This is a great hot weather body wash - lathers up and it will Wake You Up!! ;-) It's refreshing after working out, when you're trying to get going in the morning, or after a long hot day. Definitely worth a try.

Patient Comments: Teen Drug Abuse - Drug Types
As a teenager, which drugs have you tried? What were the first drugs you used? Please share your experience.
Comment from: WaltSob, 19-24 Male (Patient) Published: August 13
I'm a 19 y.o. man, and I've tried every drug that nature can offer to us, including lots of rc's, tested but not all of them approved. I've been in rehab for 3 weeks, and that's all. I love it so much that i can't imagine livin' without all our lovely drugs.
Was this comment helpful?Yes
Comment from: BKE, 13-18 Female (Patient) Published: July 10
The first drug I've ever tried was pot. I tried it when I was twelve years old. I tried it because my best friend who I've always wanted to be just like was doing it. At 14 years old, I became a binge drinker. I drank as often as I could because I was hurting in life and partying felt like a way to get away from all of my problems. One night, I was drinking with 'friends'. They were a lot older then me, then someone pulled out rips of cocaine. They asked me if I wanted one, and i thought to myself oh one can't hurt. After the one line, I felt AMAZING, like I've never felt before. A couple weeks after that, I ended up doing ecstacy, and on that exact night one of my really close friends ended up getting raped because I was too out out of it to take care of her as she was beyond drunk.. I am 18 now and I've done pot, cocaine, ecstacsy (mdma), mushrooms, prescription pills, meth I smoke cigarettes, and I am a every weekend drinker. My words of advice to any young people out there who may be caught up with the wrong crowd are: Ok, pot really isn't all that bad, neither with drinking. As long as you do it all responsibly. I chose the wrong path in life and I've done nothing but loose SEVERAL of my good friendships that I've had. When someone offers you anything more than pot, Please NEVER say yes. I know you'll think, "oh ill just do it one time" but you won't! trust me on that!! every single person that i have known who's done any of these drugs hasn't done it just one time. It's not worth it. I get rumors made up about me all the time because of the life style I chose. I used to be such a smart kid but because of all the choices I've made I'm in the alt school falling behind and i may not graduate on time. I know you probably hear things like this all the time, and think its not going to happen to me, if you make the choices like I did, things like this will happen. I've been through it all. All im saying is drugs CAN take over your life, and its not worth it!

Karmel Square Somali shopping mall in south Mpls partially collapses [PHOTOS]
Around 8:45 this morning, a third-floor addition under construction at the Karmel Square shopping mall at 2910 Pillsbury Ave. in south Minneapolis collapsed, knocking out power in the area and resulting in the evacuation of about 25 people from the building. No injuries were reported.
The shopping mall houses about 150 Somali businesses and is owned by Basim Sabri, a controversial developer who was the subject of our 2007 feature story about his effort to rebuild his reputation after he was released from federal prison.

Basim Sabri, man behind pro-Abdi Warsame fliers, says he prefers Hitler to Lilligren
Here's an excerpt from that feature illustrating why today's accident raised red flags:
Sabri Properties has also been repeatedly cited for violating city codes and ordinances. Last month, for instance, the company was ordered by the city's regulatory services department to halt renovations of a building on the 3000 block of Pleasant Avenue. An inspector determined that work was being done without the proper permits and by unlicensed contractors. It was the company's third warning on this particular property.
"He just kind of goes forward with his plans regardless of what the approvals might be," says Sixth Ward City Council member Robert Lilligren, who represents the Whittier neighborhood. "I would characterize it as preferring to seek forgiveness rather than approval."
Sabri insists that such citations are an inevitable part of doing business. "If you are going to be a statue in the mall, you're going to expect some pigeon shit," he says. "This is pigeon shit."
But this afternoon, Minneapolis city spokesperson Casper Hill confirmed to us that Sabri did indeed have a building permit for the third-floor addition, which will reportedly serve as an Islamic prayer center.
Minneapolis Police Department spokesman Scott Seroka told us it's his understanding that a city building inspector would be checking to make sure the rest of the building is structurally sound before allowing Karmel businesses to reopen. A call to the Minneapolis Fire Department seeking information on how that inspection turned out wasn't immediately returned.
Here are some photos of the collapse shared on Twitter by local reporters and the MPD:

The 2013 Toyota Tundra is proof positive that the dominance of the Big Three in the full-size pickup market is by no means guaranteed. The Toyota Tundra is very much the equal of its domestic competitors in many important categories, and the automaker's reputation for reliability has served it well in changing the opinions of long-time truck buyers who may have never previously considered purchasing a vehicle that wore the Toyota nameplate. It also doesn't hurt that the Tundra's styling strikes a balance between edgy and classy.
Let's take a look at 10 things you need to know about the 2013 Toyota Tundra.
01. The 2013 Toyota Tundra Is A Full-Size Pickup
The 2013 Toyota Tundra competes in the full-size pickup truck segment, which means that it features a task-focused, body-on-frame platform that is capable of absorbing significant abuse in the course of a day's work. The Toyota Tundra offers a suspension system that is not only strong enough to take off-roading (and which comes with the amount of ground clearance required to tackle obstacles like stumps and rocks), but also capable of towing up to 10,400 lbs when properly equipped. The Tundra additionally boasts a payload rating of almost 1,500 lbs.
02. The 2013 Toyota Tundra Offers Three Body Styles
The 2013 Toyota Tundra can be had in each of the three most popular pickup truck body styles. For those who are looking for a basic workhorse, or a vehicle that focuses more on hauling rather than passenger room, the Tundra Regular cab provides three-across seating and a single set of doors. Drivers who might need to occasionally transport more than just a couple of people should opt for the Double Cab, which grafts on additional access doors to the vehicle's extended passenger compartment that is stretched to handle another three people. The Toyota Tundra CrewMax features four full-size doors and the roomiest cabin available with the pickup, making it the commuter truck of choice for family shoppers.
03. The 2013 Toyota Tundra Provides A Trio Of Bed Lengths
In addition to offering a palette of different cab styles, the 2013 Toyota Tundra can also be ordered with an equal number of bed lengths. The most extended cargo bed available with the Tundra is the 97.6 inch Long Bed, which is available with the Double Cab and Regular body styles. Next up is the Standard Bed, which measures 78.7 inches and can also be had with either the Regular or the Double Cab versions of the pickup. The Short Bed checks in at 66.7 inches and is designed to offer better maneuverability for the CrewMax, which already rides on a long wheelbase.
04. The 2013 Toyota Tundra Offers Six and Eight-Cylinder Engine Options
The 2013 Toyota Tundra starts out with a six-cylinder engine under the hood as its base power plant. Displacing 4.0-liters and offering 270 horses and 278 lb-ft of torque, the V-6 is matched with a five-speed automatic transmission. Moving up to mid-tier trim levels adds a 310 horsepower, 4.6-liter V-6 that also generates 327 lb-ft of torque, which comes with a six-speed automatic gearbox and also opens up the option of four-wheel drive. The top-of-the-line eight-cylinder mill to be found with the Toyota Tundra is a 5.7-liter that generates a hefty 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque. Like the 4.6-liter, the large V-8 comes with a six-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment.
05. The 2013 Toyota Tundra Delivers Decent Fuel Mileage
Despite offering substantial horsepower across its entire engine range, the 2013 Toyota Tundra is reasonably thrifty at the fuel pump (considering its two-ton mass). The Toyota Tundra's V-6 engine can be counted on to provide fuel economy of 16-mpg in stop and go driving and 20-mpg on the highway, while the more robust 4.6-liter V-8 manages to match the six-cylinder's highway rating while dropping only a single mile per gallon from its city measure. The 381 horsepower, 5.7-liter V-8 returns fuel efficiency figures of 14-mpg city and 18-mpg highway. Four wheel drive models post slightly less optimistic fuel economy.
06. The 2013 Toyota Tundra Can Be Ordered In Three Trim Levels
The 2013 Toyota Tundra is initially offered in 'Tundra grade,' which represents the base model. Regular cab Tundra grade trucks come with power windows and door locks, heated mirrors, dual climate control, a split-bench seat, 18-inch wheels, and a CD player. The Double Cab Tundra grade adds cruise control and intermittent wipers, while the CrewMax Tundra grade comes with a power rear window.
The Limited grade (unavailable with the Regular cab) installs alloy rims, body-colored bumpers, tie-downs and bed rails, automatic climate control, heated seats with power adjustments, an upgraded sound system, a backup camera, a trip computer, and Bluetooth connectivity. New for 2013 is the Platinum grade, which offers heated and cooled front seats with a memory feature, power folding mirrors, a moonroof, a navigation system, wood trim, and leather upholstery.
07. The 2013 Toyota Tundra Introduces The TRD Rock Warrior Package
The 2013 Toyota Tundra can be loaded up with the kind of all-terrain features that are needed to conquer the toughest trails by way of the TRD Rock Warrior Package. A step above the TRD Off-Road Package, the TRD Rock Warrior Package provides 17-inch forged wheels, knobby tires, Bilstein shock absorbers, fog lamps, cloth seats with power adjustment (unless ordered with the Platinum grade, which then includes leather and all the requisite niceties), as well as a backup camera. The Rock Warrior Package also provides all of the skid plating and tow hooks that come with the standard TRD Off-Road group of features, as well as exterior appearance upgrades designed to set the Package apart from other editions of the truck.
08. The 2013 Toyota Tundra Provides Numerous Other Equipment Packages
The 2013 Toyota Tundra - like most pickups - can be easily customized via the selection of a long list of options packages. For those who want to improve on the appearance of the pickup, the TRD Sport Package provides a special black fabric interior, 20-inch rims, and a body-colored grille surround, mirror covers, roll pan, and door handles. The Tow Package adds increased hauling capability via an upgraded rear final drive ratio, a TOW/HAUL feature for the transmission, and heavy-duty cooling, while the Work Truck Package strips the vehicle down to basics and offers rubber and vinyl trim throughout the interior (for easier cleaning) while removing most power equipment from the truck. The Sport Appearance Package mimics many of the TRD Sport Package's cosmetic features, while the Chrome Appearance Package adds a splash of shine to the pickup.
09. The 2013 Toyota Tundra Can Be Had With Entune
Making its first appearance for 2013 is the option of the Toyota Entune multimedia and communications interface. Available when the Toyota Tundra is equipped with the Display Navigation with Entune feature, Entune provides a 6.1-inch LCD color display that allows for touchscreen interaction with the system's connectivity features. Entune facilitates connecting an iPod or mobile phone to the Tundra and comes with voice commands, Bluetooth wireless music streaming, USB compatibility, and HD radio. The system is also compatible with satellite radio as well as MP3 digital music files.
10. The 2013 Toyota Tundra Is Safe
The 2013 Toyota Tundra comes with the brand's Star Safety System, which encompasses active electronic safety features such as stability control, traction control, electronic brake force distribution, brake assist, and Smart Stop. The latter prevents the throttle from being activated at the same time as the Tundra's brake pedal is depressed. The Tundra also features dual forward airbags, side-impact airbags mounted on each front seat, knee airbags for the driver and passenger, and side curtain airbags that deploy along the entire length of the Toyota's passenger compartment. Trailer-Sway control is optional with the Tundra, but a tire pressure monitoring system is standard.

In Roland Joffe's 1984 film, "The Killing Fields," we see the Cambodian Communist revolution and its aftermath through the eyes of Dith Pran, the film's main character.
The headlines and national discussion about campus sexual assaults continue unabated. Earlier this week, the Chronicle of Higher Education published yet another story under the headline, "Should colleges be judging rape?"
William Baude, assistant professor of law at the University of Chicago, wrote a New York Times op-ed this week, in which he suggested that President Obama can "bypass" the Supreme Court (in the event of an adverse ruling in King v. Burwell) by simply ignoring the decision.
Maureen Dowd's and Frank Bruni's recent columns in the New York Times, as well as Hillary Clinton's autocratic "Emailgate" press conference on Tuesday, have me wondering: for all the talk of fractures among Republicans, aren't there any Democrat voters who are fed up with the state of affairs in their party?
The recent scandal involving the horrific conditions and appalling lack of care at some of the Veterans Affairs medical facilities is dogging the Obama administration. CNN correspondent Jake Tapper took them to task for doing nothing despite having been apprised of the problems at least a year ago.
"And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.'" -Luke 2:13-14
The unveiling of the dictatorial debacle that is Obamacare absolutely flabbergasts me. It is stunning on so many levels, but the most shocking aspect of it for me is watching millions of free Americans stand idly by while this man, his minions in Congress and his cheerleaders in the press systematically dismantle our Constitution, steal our money, and crush our freedoms.
It's official: the Obamacare rollout was an unmitigated, absurdly expensive disaster.
As the federal government "shuts down," the media are busy doing their usual stellar job of obscuring the facts and shilling for the Democrat Party. According to the typical (*yawn*) media meme, Democrats are trying to preserve civilization, and Republicans want people to die.
There is a lot being written about the Zimmerman trial. And the verdict. And the aftermath. So here is my brief take on it.
It's been a bad few weeks for the Obama administration.
Over the past two weeks, I have paid particular attention to four news stories.
American society's schizophrenic attitudes about business could be the subject of a book. (Perhaps multiple volumes.) For example, in the months leading up to the 2012 presidential election, we heard constantly about the need to create jobs and bring down unemployment. And yet, media coverage and Hollywood depictions of business only reinforce the popular fiction that business owners are little more than greedy exploitative bloodsuckers (whose enterprises apparently exist for the sole purpose of being gouged for taxes to be spent by profligate lawmakers with no sense of their own fiscal responsibility).
I am already reading so many pundits and other talking heads analyzing the disaster that was this year's elections. I am adding my own ten cents.
I had the opportunity to be in the western Cook County suburbs of Chicago late last week. I have never seen so many political signs in my life. Signs EVERYWHERE: homes, businesses, parking lots, churches, farms. That stunned me. What stunned me more? I saw not one sign for Obama.
What does "undecided" mean?
Egads, that was awful. And I do mean awful. Joe Biden's constant laughing throughout the debate – beyond being annoying, rude, and unprofessional – was obviously coached. We see this in the legal profession with some frequency: litigators who hire coaches to help them act for the jury, in the hopes that the jurors will be swayed by the Academy Award-winning performance, and ignore the evidence. (Or lack thereof.)
One of the things which makes the media's bias in favor of President Obama so influential is the natural human tendency to want to belong, and the fear being out of the mainstream.
In all of the attention to what Mitt Romney has said in the past few weeks (and earlier), one of his most significant statements has received far less attention than it deserves. Campaigning two weeks ago in Atlanta, Romney compared himself to Obama.
So, the Democrats, unable to run on Obama's economic record, have decided that their big winning issue is abortion.

Harmonic diffeomorphisms of manifolds
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: In spite of the abundance of publications on harmonic mappings of manifolds, at present there exists neither a theory of harmonic diffeomorphisms, nor a definition of infinitesimal harmonic transformation of a Riemannian manifold, to say nothing of the theory of groups of such transformations. In the paper, this gap is partially filled, and a new subject of investigations is announced.

Listen to Dori Monson weekdays at 12noon on KIRO Radio 97.3 FM

Taxpayers foot the bill for state employee 'shoe allowance'
Roughly 300 state workers employed at licensing offices across Washington are eligible for a yearly shoe allowance; something the union told KIRO Radio they need to offset the cost of footwear that meets uniform requirements.
The allowance was written into union contracts for Washington State Department of Licensing employees sometime in the 1960's or 1970's, according to a department spokesperson.
Currently, the allowance is $97 per year and is taxable as income. Not all who are eligible apply for the benefit and those who do must submit paperwork and receipts.
For example, a woman in Whatcom County said her friend at the DOL used her allowance to buy a pair of Birkenstocks - a brand of German-made sandals, shoes, and clogs that range in price from $79.95 to $175.
In 2012, 239 DOL employees were reimbursed an average of $88.50 for footwear. The total amount billed to taxpayers that year was $21,145.92, according to numbers provided by the department.
"For decades, our staff members who work in driver licensing offices and are subject to our uniform policy, have been eligible for an annual shoe allowance to help offset the cost of shoes that meet our requirements," said spokesperson Brad Benfield. "We do not specify a particular brand or style of shoes, but they have to be neutral in color, have minimal decoration, and can't be flip-flops."
Benfield said the shoe allowance only applies to staff and supervisors who work in driver's license offices.
The employees are represented by Professional and Technical Employees Local 17. According to the union, the allowance is about having shoes that are functional and prevent injury.
"The practice of providing or paying for uniforms is standard in many military, law-enforcement, public-safety and customer-service positions," union representative Natalie Kaminski wrote in an email. "The Department of Licensing provides uniform items for licensing service representatives to wear at work. There are no shoes provided as part of the uniform, so DOL provides an annual shoe reimbursement for employees to go out and buy their own. The footwear they buy and wear to work must conform to the agency's safety standards."
Benfield said employees at driver's license offices "spend a lot of time walking around outside in the parking lot with moving cars and getting into cars that are owned by our customers."
"So one of the things we have in place as a safety precaution is a requirement that they have shoes that they can use that will protect their feet in those situations," he said.
Benfield acknowledged that some DOL employees allowed a shoe allowance likely do not leave the office to go outside as the state has contracted out a majority of driver's license testing to private companies.
