What's going on Friday? (Feelies, California X, Nude Beach, Anthony Naples, Gigawatts Fest, Bleeding Rainbow & more)
Nude Beach @ Bowery Ballroom, March 2013 (more by David Andrako)
The Feelies @ The Bell House, May 2013 (more by Greg Cristman)
Browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight's shows. Here are some highlights...
The Feelies @ Maxwell's
Night two of Hoboken indie rock legends playing at the soon-to-close legendary Hoboken indie rock haven. Sold out, natch.
Speedy Ortiz, Roomrunner, California X, Sediment Club, NOATS @ Death By Audio
Speedy Ortiz's new album, Major Arcana (due out next week via Carpark), is one of the best debuts of the year and they'll celebrate with a release show at DbA tonight. Fellow '90s lovers Roomrunner and California X are also excellent and not to miss. And if you're into no wave, Sediment Club revive that sound pretty well.
Octo Octa, Anthony Naples, Magic Touch @ Cameo Gallery
The day before Anthony Naples plays a house-oriented Warm Up, you can catch him at tonight's likeminded Cameo show, which also includes Octo Octa, whose new album, Between Two Selves, is an excellent ambient take on the current house revival.
Bleeding Rainbow, Fat Creeps @ Mercury Lounge
Shoegazy Philadelphians will hopefully treat us to some songs from their next long-player which is due later this year. Don't miss Boston indie rockers Fat Creeps who open the show.
Nude Beach, Prince Rupert's Drops, Pop Zeus, Hector's Pets (DJ Set) @ Knitting Factory
The only thing wrong with Nude Beach's appearance at Knitting Factory is it was clearly scheduled one day too late. The Brooklyn band's tip of the hat to Tom Petty, The Replacements, Springsteen and many of the greats of yesteryear screams Americana, crafting catchy songs that get in your head and stay there.
Gigawatts Fest w/ Team Spirit, Total Slacker, Celestial Shore & more @ Silent Barn
Brooklyn DIY zine One Point Twenty One Gigawatts launches its two-day one year anniversary celebration tonight featuring 10 worthy local acts. Fun starts at 5 PM.
Photo Ops, The Can't Tells, Foe Destroyer @ Cake Shop
If you're looking for a good band to catch tonight, Brooklyn's The Can't Tells are always worth showing up for, and you can see them at Cake Shop tonight on a bill that also includes Nashville's Photo Ops and Austin's Foe Destroyer.
Jonathon Toubin (Soul Clap & Dance Off), Young Jessie, King James & the Special Men @ Damrosch Bandshell
Tonight's edition of Lincoln Center's "Midsummer Nights Swing" series is a little different, as they turn things over to Jonathan Toubin's popular dance-off revue. At 11:30 PM, Soul Clap becomes a "silent disco" so the party can keep going into the night. Show up early for Jitterbug lessons. Tickets are still available.
Ladytron (DJ Set), Adventure, Prism House @ Glasslands
Liverpool's icy synthwave group Ladytron headline tonight with a DJ set, but there's live music too, much in the same vein: Baltimore electropop combo Adventure and Brooklyn's more experimental Prism House.
The Rascals @ PNC Bank Arts Center
Somewhere between a rock concert and a Broadway show, "The Rascals: Once Upon a Dream" tells the story of the band through their music. The show was written, produced and directed by their #1 fan, "Little" Steven Van Zandt with visuals from acclaimed lighting designer Marshall Brickman. Tickets are still available.
10,000 Maniacs @ City Winery
These college radio vets have been without their original singer, Natalie Merchant, for years now. (And guitarist Robert Buck, so crucial to their sound, died in 2000.) But they continue to play, and if you're into their newer material/lineup, you can catch them at their first of two City Winery shows tonight (the second is tomorrow). Both shows are release parties for their new album, Music from the Motion Picture, their first in 14 years.
Timo Maas @ Cielo
German producer Timo Maas has been crafting progressive house for over a decade now, and before he plays a couple North American festivals this weekend, he'll stop off in NYC for a party at Cielo (10 PM-4AM).
Megadeth @ Mohegan Sun Arena
Forget Dave Mustaine's ridiculous political rants. Forget the band's past their prime lineup. Just remember those sweet riffs on "Hangar 18". And "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due". And "Peace Sells... but Who's Buying." Feel better now? See you at Mohegan Sun.
Cayucas, JBM @ Mercury Lounge
Santa Monica indie pop darlings Cayucas are likely on their way to fame (thanks in part to a catchy single "East Coast Girl," which you can watch the video for below), so you might want to catch them at Mercury Lounge tonight before you can't see them at venues that small anymore. Though the show is sold out, so if you're going you probably already have your tickets. They also play for free in Montauk on Saturday.
For all of tonight's shows, and tomorrow's, check out our full NYC show calendar.

JT at Brooklyn Bowl this weekend (photo by Jackie Roman)
Jonathan Toubin is a busy guy. Last night (4/24) he DJ'd his last ever New York Night Train at Ludlow St. bar Motor City (whose days are numbered). This weekend he'll launch a new party at Glasslands before heading out to Europe. Here's the skinny:
It has been nearly a year since DJ Jonathan Toubin returned to New York following a five-and-a-half-month recovery from the injuries he sustained after a cab drove into his Portland, Oregon hotel room. In April of last year, he was able to return to a restricted schedule of Fridays at Home Sweet Home, and soon after, he began performing his signature Soul Clap & Dance-Off on Saturday nights, monthly at Brooklyn Bowl and at one-off gigs on the road. (The most recent of these Soul Claps happened Saturday, April 20 at Brooklyn Bowl). His health is now enough-improved for him to go on his first extensive tour since the accident and return to his old practice of adding unique new parties to his schedule. On April 28, Toubin will host his Animal Print Party at Glasslands (289 Kent Avenue, Brooklyn), before embarking on a European tour in May. The event is free if you're wearing animal print, $5 without. (More info here.)To get a better idea of what Jonathan's Animal Print party will be like, he made a mix that you can stream below. Before that, he'll be at Home Sweet Home on Friday night (4/26) for his "Shakin' All Over Sideways and Down" party, and then he'll be in SUNY Purchase on Saturday (4/26) for Soul Clap & Dance-Off. All dates are listed below...
The Animal Print Party, a concept Toubin has been developing for years, will be a night of getting down to exotic rock and roll from the late 1950s and early 1960s. The dancers become the décor: Patrons are encouraged to unleash their inner-beasts on the dance floor while donning their favorite animal print attire - cheetah, zebra, leopard, tiger, etc. Toubin will play a mix of beat-heavy rock n' roll novelties chock full of jungle drums, Latin beats, Middle-Eastern scales, outer space sounds and other bizarre danceable music from the far ends of the exotic imagination. A week in advance of the party, Toubin will release a mix of selections that capture the essence of the evening. Also expect a smattering of animal dance craze numbers (gorilla, monkey, alligator, camel walk, etc). For anyone in search of the "Old Weird America," this is intended to be as weird and wild as it gets. Toubin will be accompanied by go-go dancer/performance artist/animal print bikini collector Anna Copa Cabanna and guest DJs/performers.
In May, Toubin will embark upon a month-long international tour that will take him from the Yeah Yeah Yeah's-curated All Tomorrow's Parties in London to a variety of DJ gigs and Soul Claps in the bars, boats, beaches, discos, music festivals, and rock clubs of Europe.

line to get in Other Music on Record Store Day 2012
As you are probably aware, this Saturday (4/20) is Record Store Day. We've already told you some of our picks from the myriad #RSD13 exclusives, but many of NYC's record stores are having special events that day. While this guide is pretty thorough, it may not be comprehensive. If you know of cool Record Store Day happenings that aren't in this post, let us know in the comments. But here's the stuff we found:
We already told you about Greenwich Village mainstay Generation Records who are having live performances from Forgetters, Doug Gillard, Swearin' and Livids as well as DJ sets from WFMU's Tom Scharpling and Forgetters' Blake Schwarzenbach. Generation will open at 10 AM, with bands starting at 2 PM. Schedule still TBA.
While you're in the area, take a second to walk over to Bleecker Bob's where you won't find any records for sale, but as of Wednesday you could still at least take one more look through the window at the somewhat-still stocked shelves of the closed store.
Over at In Living Stereo on Great Jones, they'll have live performances from Alex Bleeker & the Freaks and Prince Rupert's Drops, plus free PBR from noon. More info here.
Wild Nothing at Other Music, RSD2012 (more)
Other Music isn't big enough to have bands play while people shop, so they have bands DJ during RSD, and this year's line-up will have Parquet Courts, Sharon Van Etten, Jonathan Toubin and more on the decks. Other Music opens at 10:30 AM with DJs starting at noon (schedule is below).
Also having DJs spin on #RSD13, as mentioned, is East Village shop Turntable Lab. Their line-up also includes FaltyDL, as well as Nomi Ruiz, Justin Strauss, Eli Escobar and many more. DJs spin from 10 AM - 8 PM.
Kim's Video & Music promises "DJ sets from some of your favorite local artists and DJ's" but they don't name names. They are, however, open at 8 AM.
Another EV store, Good Records, won't have RSD exclusives, but they will have a bunch of rare used vinyl they'll be putting out that day, including albums by Brian Eno, The Fall, Blur, Pink Floyd, The White Stripes and more. They'll also have free food and beverages. More details are here.
still from Cake Shop's RSD video
Some of you may not remember when Cake Shop back lounge was a record store, but they still carry a few a few new releases and they'll have a selection of RSD exclusives on Saturday. Additionally, they'll have "lots of deals, lots of old stuff we've been holding onto forever etc! Plus: tons of fun, possible balloons and maybe Eddie!" That night Record Store Day moves downstairs with an extremely stacked indie rock/pop line-up, with Literature, Grand Resort, Sparxx, Cascading Slopes, The Hairs, a short solo set from TPOBPAH's Kip Berman and Scott and Charlene's Wedding. Kip and Maria Sherman will also be on DJ duty. Doors for the night show are at 8 PM and is a mere $5 entry. A pretty weird, funny video hyping Cake Shop's RSD fun is below.
Downtown at J&R Music World, Anthrax will be in the house at 12:30 PM signing records and anything else you want their John Hancock on, and they generally have a good selection of #RSD13 exclusives too.
Meanwhile in Brooklyn, Record Store Day will be the last day ever for Williamsburg's Sound Fix, which is probably enough for them (read a new interview with the owner HERE). Last year they had doughnuts and coffee, if memory serves. They're open at 10 AM and in addition to RSD exclusive, their fire sale (which is happening now) includes "25% off all CDs, 10% off all LPs."
Williamsburg stores in general don't seem to be doing a whole lot of special events on Saturday, though both Academy Records Annex and Earwax will have #RSD13 exclusives, and East Village Radio will be streaming live from Academy Records at 4pm.
Co-Op 87 (via)
For the second year, the tiny but well-stocked Co-Op 87 in Greenpoint will be open for the entirety of Record Store Day, meaning midnight to midnight. No in-store performances or celeb DJs, but they are making a special offer for the truly insane record buyers out there:
"If you are tuff enuff to come to Co-Op 87 Records ONCE an hour, EVERY hour of Record Store Day (24 visits!) and spend $10 on a record (not multiple records) at least ONCE for EACH of those hours, you'll be entitled to an INCREASING percentage off, starting at 4% and increasing BY 4% each time on ANY one record UP to $100! That means he or she who braves this madness could by the final hour, buy ANY $100 or less record for a WHOPPING 96% off!"Elsewhere in Greenpoint, Permanent Records will be open at 10 AM on Saturday with "free gift bags & goodies while supplies last," as well as "nearly all of this year's exclusive releases." And over at Record Grouch, they'll have a smattering of RSD13 exclusives and some choice used records put out just that day, in addition to their extremely well-curated stock of used vinyl.
DUMBO's Halcyon Records will have "instore DJs" and are open at 10 AM.
As for the general NY area, Vintage Vinyl in Ford, NJ will have a full stock of RSD exclusives but no in-stores announced,
And if you happen to be in Philadelphia on Saturday, Main Street Music will feature a special RSD performances by Billy Bragg, the Joy Formidable, Generationals and more.
And if you're in the Windy City, BV Chicago and Saki Records are throwing a RSD party with live performances from Pink Avalanche, The Beets, Twin Peaks and more.
BV Austin discusses what's going on at Waterloo Records this year.
Again, you can see all stores participating in Record Store Day 2013 here.
Other Music DJ schedule, Cake Shop video, Turntable Lab flyer and other RSD videos are below.

White Fence
As mentioned, White Fence's new album, Cyclops Reap, is out this week on John Dwyer's Castle Face label. Tim Presley doesn't seem to be running out of songs and this is another quality batch of paisley-scented psychedelia.

Jonathan Toubin touring with Soul Clap & Dance-Off, spinning punk at Motor City tonight, playing the hits at Bowery Ballroom
Soul Clap Dance-Off contestants...
The Soul Clap & Dance-Off parties/competitions are going on the road with DJ Jonathan Toubin via the Brooklyn Brewery Mash Tour traveling arts festival. Taking place over the course of 2013, winners of each cities' Dance-Off get $100 plus they'll be flown to NYC to compete in the national championship which happens January, 18 2014 at Brooklyn Bowl. The NYC branch of the competition takes place on March 23, 2013 at Brooklyn Bowl and, since there's no travel part to the prize, the local winner gets $500.
In other Jonathan Toubin news, he's spinning punk rock at Motor City on Ludlow St. all night tonight (2/28) as part of the afterparty for Vietnam's show at Mercury Lounge.
Then next month, Toubin is going to do something he almost never does. Play the hits:
YOU PROBABLY HAVE NEVER HEARD YOUR FAVORITE RECORDS! For real! Teams of specialists recorded, mastered, and pressed songs to sound amazing with painstaking deliberateness. Over the years these original 45s have been remastered for CD, mp3, and even record - losing their rich dynamic qualities and becoming another animal entirely - sounding nothing like what the artists', producers', and engineers' original intentions. But tonight you have an opportunity to dance to your favorite tracks in their purest state - the original mix undigitized and uncompressed. This is not audiophile mumbo jumbo - you are not likely to recover from hearing your favorite songs on the ultimate sonic medium through Bowery Ballroom's first-class sound system. And like good wine, you won't go back to the bad stuff once you've had a taste. - Jonathan ToubinJonathan Toubin, acknowledged crate-digger and champion of obscure soul 45s, will be playing the hits at Bowery Ballroom on March 28. Tickets for this rare chance to hear him play songs most people know go on sale Friday (3/1) at noon.
Jonathan will also be all over Austin for SXSW. His SXSW schedule and all Soul Clap & Dance-Off tour dates are listed below...

One of the biggest shows of the night is Coldplay and Jay-Z at Barclays Center.

Jon Spencer Blues Explosion at Bowery Ballroom in Nov (more by Lionel Bergeron)
As you may know by now, Norton Records suffered much damage during Hurricane Sandy, and they've been getting a good deal of support form the community to help them rebuild. Jonathan Toubin did a benefit show in November and Obits have one coming up in January. A week before the Obits show, you can catch another garage punk crew, Reigning Sound doing a Norton Records benefit at The Bell House on January 11 with The Swingin' Neckbreakers. Tickets for that show are on sale now.

That show also features Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, The Relatives, Dot Wiggin, and Di Dionyso. Tickets for that show are on sale now.

Mr. Jonathan Toubin says:
Every October I press "record" and lay down an improvised live unedited mix of some of the most supremely spooky goofy stuff ever buried into wax. 100% culled from the secret history of haunted novelties, most of the recordings here, like the mummies of their lyrics, are long forgotten relics. But unlike the mummified pharoahs, these were all unknowns in their day. You can help give these monsters the justice that they deserve by bringing them back to life with me! Download this onto your iPod or iPad or iPhone or i-whatever! Play it at your work or Halloween party or laptop DJ gig! I don't know if anyone's gonna be scared but your unique party music will be the envy of your family, friends, and neighbors! Not really... But one can't live on "The Monster Mash" and "Thriller" alone! Also, If you're a fan of these lost artifacts of our greatest national holiday, escape from your dwellings so we can give these undead exquisite corpses a new pulse on the dance floor! I'll be serving hours of these dark delicacies and dozens more at The Haunted Hop at NYC's Brooklyn Bowl on October 27 and New Orleans' Siberia on October 30. Then these little monsters will all scurry back into their tombs.Download above. Stream below....
Love and candy corns,

JSBX inside and out of Bowery Electric, 9/18/2012
Jon Spencer Blues Explosion celebrated the release of Meat And Bone, their first studio album in eight years, at a packed release show in the basement of Bowery Electric in NYC last night. DJ Jonathan Toubin warmed up the crowd, many of whom got a bit wet from the torrential downpour happening outside. At 8:30pm sharp, Judah Bauer, Russell Simins and Jon Spencer (aka the Blues Explosion) kicked off a super hard rocking set of tunes to the appeciative audience that was made up of people who either bought the new album at Other Music, won a ticket from BrooklynVegan, or managed to get themselves on the guestlist some other way.
The band head out on a proper headlining tour in October, starting in Harrisburg, PA, and hitting Bowery Ballroom in NYC on November 2 along the way. All listed dates, their new video for "Black Mold", and more pictures from Bowery Electric, are below.

"Security couldn't handle this shit! Black Lips fuckin killed it!!!" - Kyle Cameron
"Black Lips was fun. We tore down the barrier and security started fist fighting people. I'm soaked through." - Steve Lombardi
The Black Lips, who are known for their raucous live show, brought their usual antics to the 4Knots afterparty at Beekman Beer Garden at the South Street Seaport on Saturday night (7/14), but things got a little out of hand this time. The barricade was (not surprisingly) quickly ripped down by fans who broke into a sweaty pushing, moshing frenzy for the uncontrollable garage rockers. However, at this particular Black Lips show, the security guards were not having it. They began to rough up audience members who were getting crazy and allegedly ended up injuring some concertgoers. One of those claiming to be hurt emailed us and said, "getting dragged out in a choke hold is not my idea of a good time". He also sent us this picture he claims are "a few wounds inflicted by security"....
As shown in a video from the show which you can watch below, before going into "Modern Art," the band took to their mics to tell security to "calm the fuck down" and said, "You don't have to beat up anybody, it's just a rock and roll concert." A "Fuck that shit!" chant was also started and continued through the start of the song. The Village Voice, who presented the 4Knots festival and the Black Lips afterparty that this all went down at, point out that guitarist Cole Alexander, who had encouraged the crowd to "tear down that barrier" tried to help the fans who were getting hit, but he was shoved back on stage.
Many fans who were at the show took to twitter to talk about their experiences. @aewsome posted multiple tweets, saying, "Security has totally lost control of this Black Lips show. Arbitrarily roughing up people for no reason. Completely fucked up," and "Kids acting no different than any Black Lips show I've seen. This was seriously [some] of the roughest security I've seen."
UPDATE: The Village Voices issued a statement shortly after we posted this article.
As previously mentioned, earlier in the day there was also a fire at South Street Seaport while the actual 4Knots Music Festival was going on. You definitely can't say this year's fest (which Archers of Loaf headlined, but more about that in a bit), wasn't eventful.
The Black Lips video and more pictures, though they were mostly taken before things really got out of control, from the ruckus at Beekman Beer Garden, below...

That didn't take long. Last night we posted it as a rumor. Today it is confirmed (removal of Louis CK included):
ATP Concerts today announce the relocation of this September's New Jersey based I'll Be Your Mirror festival event to Pier 36 in Manhattan, New York.Whether this is related to ATP filing for liquidation or not is not 100% clear (but who really cares). Updated ATP NYC lineup below...
Pier 36 was the intended home for I'll Be Your Mirror beginning in 2013 - but due to unavoidable logistical concerns (along with a lack of available fan accommodations in Asbury Park), ATP has decided to move there for this year's event.
New additions to the festival today include: Philip Glass & Tyondai Braxton, Janeane Garofalo, Lightning Bolt, Lee Ranaldo, Chavez, Kurt Braunohler, Afterhours, Joseph Arthur, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, The Album Leaf, The Psychic Paramount, Braids, Tall Firs, Blanck Mass, Endless Boogie, Demdike Stare and DJ Jonathan Toubin with more to be added to all three days - see below for more info on the new additions...
Some artists who are unable to play the new location - the following statement comes from Louis CK's management:
"Louis CK who was originally scheduled for the Asbury Park event will not be performing at ATP in Manhattan due to scheduling conflicts. Check louisck.com for info about his tour schedule."
Sharon Van Etten, Reigning Sound and Factory Floor will also not be available to perform. All other previously announced artists will perform as originally scheduled.
"We hope that the new venue will make for an incredible event and open up many other accommodation options to fans who were unable to find rooms in Asbury Park," comments ATP's Barry Hogan. "We sincerely apologise to those inconvenienced by the move and hope that any problems caused may be minimised by the relatively small distance between the two locations. Anyone who is unable to attend due to the move or due to the cancellation of Louis CK can claim a full refund by contacting their ticket agent between now and July 31st."
Pier 36 is a new indoor venue sitting on the edge of the East River between the Manhattan & Williamsburg Bridges - it's outside area boasts glorious views of Brooklyn and the Statue of Liberty.
The Saturday night of this year's festival will be headlined by The Afghan Whigs (who have reunited after a 13 year hiatus) and curated by their frontman Greg Dulli, with ATP curating the Friday and Sunday nights.
Tickets are on sale now via ATPfestival.com priced at $199 for the Weekend, with Day Passes also newly available priced at $60 for Friday & $75 for Saturday/Sunday.
Full information on the additions to all three days of the line-up...
Friday will feature both music and comedy - we can now announce a musical headliner for Friday, as esteemed composer PHILIP GLASS teams up with TYONDAI BRAXTON (former Battles frontman) for a completely unprecedented live collaboration. Other stellar additions to the day's musical line-up are LIGHTNING BOLT - one of the world's most unmissable live acts, and LEE RANALDO of Sonic Youth. Joining the Friday on the Comedy stage is none other than standup/actress JANEANE GAROFALO, newcomer KURT BRAUNOHLER, with more to be confirmed. Friday tickets cost $60.
Saturday, headlined by THE AFGHAN WHIGS and featuring a stellar list of artists chosen by the Whigs' frontman Greg Dulli, has three new artists. First up are alternative rock band CHAVEZ, who returned to the live arena in the last few years to much acclaim, and they're joined by Italy's AFTERHOURS (past collaborators with Greg Dulli) and Ohio based singer/songwriter JOSEPH ARTHUR. They join the previously announced Saturday line-up of The Afghan Whigs, The Roots, José González, Mark Lanegan Band, Dirty Three, The Antlers, The Dirtbombs, Scrawl, Emeralds, Vetiver, Charles Bradley And The Extraordinaires and DJ Questlove with more to be confirmed. Tickets for this day cost $75.
Sunday will be headlined by one of the incomparable live shows from legendary Canadian post-rock pioneers GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR. Also newly confirmed are Canada's fantastic BRAIDS, Britain's DEMDIKE STARE and BLANCK MASS (feat Benjamin Power of F**k Buttons), intense New York post-rock from THE PSYCHIC PARAMOUNT, a return ATP performance from THE ALBUM LEAF, cult rock quartet ENDLESS BOOGIE, alt folk duo TALL FIRS, and DJ JONATHAN TOUBIN. They join the previously announced Sunday line-up of The Make-Up, Hot Snakes, The Magic Band, Autolux, Thee Oh Sees, I Break Horses and Quintron And Miss Pussycat (moving to this day from Saturday) with more to be confirmed. Sunday tickets cost $75.
As well as the live music line-up and comedy on the Friday, our friends at The Criterion Collection will return to run the Cinema across the weekend. All three days feature DJs and other activities to be confirmed in the months ahead. Each day runs from noon-midnight.

On 11/11/12 my husband took me to the ER since I hadn't felt my baby move it two day. When we got there they checked for her heart beat and couldn't find it, as soon as my doctor got there they did an ultrasound and could see the heart was no longer beating. After bring induced I gave birth to my beautiful angel Alana Marie Croes. She was 2lbs 2oz and 13 3/4 inches long. I am in so much pain and wish I could have my baby back. Next time you feel your baby kick please please enjoy it a little more, and please enjoy the heartburn and back pain because I would give anything to have it back.
:( Leaving the group :(

Posted by a Criminal Defense client
Paul Grech Jr, handled my case with such care and compassion. When I left my initial consult with Mr. Grech I felt at ease. I knew I had made the right decision in chosing this attorney. He listened to my situation, he told me the best and worst possible outcome. I am very pleased with his work.
Posted by Keith W.
Mr. Grech represented me in a DUI case in 2009 in Riverside Superior Court, Southwest Justice Center, and with the Department of Motor Vehicles Hearing regarding my driver's license. I was extremely pleased with the way Mr. Grech handled my case, his professionalism, courtesy, knowledge, and ability to resolve the matter in the most favorable way. Thanks to Mr. Grech's competent, detailed, and thorough handling of my legal issues, I have been able to resolve the matter and put it behind me. I would recommend Mr. Grech to anyone who would need any type of criminal defense representation.

Turkish journalist arrested for posts on social media
Istanbul, February 8, 2016--Turkish authorities should immediately release Hayri Tunç, a reporter for the independent news website Jiyan, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.
Istanbul, February 8, 2016--Turkish authorities should immediately release Hayri Tunç, a reporter for the independent news website Jiyan, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.
New York, July 28, 2015--Turkish authorities blocked access to at least eight news websites in Turkey on Saturday amid what the government called a counter-terrorism operation, according to news reports. The Committee to Protect Journalists calls on Turkish authorities to restore access to the websites so that Turkish citizens can access news of public interest.
New York, March 27, 2014--The Committee to Protect Journalists welcomes the release this week of at least eight imprisoned journalists in Turkey, but calls on Turkish authorities to scrap the charges against them and release all of the journalists jailed in the country.
New York, March 13, 2013--The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns the jail sentence handed to a journalist in Turkey and calls on authorities to overturn the ruling on appeal.
A court in the city of Adana released Özlem Ağuş, reporter for the pro-Kurdish Dicle News Agency (DİHA), from prison on February 25, 2013, pending a trial, DIHA reported. The journalist was imprisoned on March 6, 2012, on charges that included membership in the banned Union of Communities in Kurdistan, or KCK, which the government designated a terrorist group.
Istanbul, February 11, 2013--The release of at least seven journalists and media workers from pretrial detention is a positive step toward restoring the press freedom climate in Turkey, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.
This week I joined CPJ board Chairman Sandra Mims Rowe, Executive Director Joel Simon, and Turkish researcher Özgür Ögret in Istanbul to present CPJ's latest report, "Turkey's Press Freedom Crisis," and convey our main press freedom concerns, including the mass imprisonment of journalists.
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.
Or click here to see the full petition, and join leading journalists like Christiane Amanpour, The Guardian's Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the AP Kathleen Carroll, and Arianna Huffington in signing on.

What do you need to establish a Jewish household?
Setting up a Jewish household
I am conservative but when I got married I was refered to this link as a guidline.
I also have a book that is great it is from a more traditional perspective I will have to go find it to tell you the name.
-J- 3 Kids and 1 goldfish
CD Swap Feedback , CD Swap , Vent It , Ask a Jew, Baby Kingdom
I will second that link.
~~Ali (Wife to Eli 6/20/09)~~
"In a world where children blow up children, everyone's a threat.---Star Trek"
Also, 2 sets of dishes, milchig (dairy) and fleishig (meat). Two sets of pots. Either separate tablecloths or placemats for milchig and fleishig. However, all these things aren't the main ingredients. These are all technical details but having all of the items on the link posted above as well as what I thought of in one minute doesn't make a Jewish household by itself. A Jewish household is made when the people are committed to doing what Hashem asked us. The rest is just props that are needed for the task.
From a non-conservative viewpoint... I agree with the end of feigfish's last post. Do what you are committed to doing to make your household Jewish, and it will be Jewish in that way.
You don't need a Pesach sedar set or sabbath candlesticks- just use a plate with the proper things on it, or any say the blessing over any set of candles.
Good luck!
I would also say you shouldn't be worried about running and buying everything at once. Get the free stuff from your local chabad house (they give out everything from benchers to chanukah menorahs) and you can collect nice heirloom-quality stuff later on, as you find ones you particularly like and which suit your style. If you are getting married, you are sure to get some of these judaica-type things as wedding gifts.
and there's nothing wrong with using paper plates on a regular basis, I know plenty of families that do that. (you can use them for everything, or for example if you're not big meat-eaters, use them for fleishig, or vice-versa)
As pp said, the most important thing is what's in your heart, and that you do your best to live by the mitzvot. (And I might add, if you actually read those mitzvot, they say nothing about $100 candlesticks and plates). all the tchotchkes can come later
> and there's nothing wrong with using paper plates on a regular basis,
Well, there's nothing wrong with it except it's something of an abuse of the planet, which is contrary to tikkun olam.
If you feel uncomfortable using disposables, it's easy and cheap enough to buy inexpensive dishes. You can get stuff at close-out stores, dollar stores, WalMart, Target, etc. You don't have to wait until you can afford 4 sets of fine china before setting up a kosher kitchen.
I think the point is that fancy things are very nice (and indeed, if they are very pretty can enhance the mitzvah, which is a positive thing). BUT if you have to prioritize, it's way more important to keep a kosher kitchen and do mitzvot with simple implements than to have a lot of fancy Judaica paraphenalia but not do the basics.
> and there's nothing wrong with using paper plates on a regular basis,
>>Well, there's nothing wrong with it except it's something of an abuse of the planet, which is contrary to tikkun olam.
And I'm sure some would argue that using cheap, non-biodegradable, probably toxic (lead), dishes made in China and shipped halfway around the world using ozone-burning, nonrenewable carbon fuels would be more damaging to the environment than using recycled, biodegradable paper plates... or for that matter, the use of virtual slave labor in the Chinese factories would violate about a half-dozen biblical prohibitions, not to mention "fair trade" practices...
But then again, others might point out that the traditional concept of "tikkun olam" has nothing to do with such modern-day political ideas, but rather, consists of an obligation to complete and perfect G-d's creation, mainly by performing the actual mitzvot (as written, which incidentally make no mention of recycling), and convincing other Jews to do the same, and non-Jews to perform the 7 Nochide laws.
That's a discussion more suited to carry on between you and your rabbi, but suffice it to say IMHO it's not appropriate to criticize another Jew's attempt to live a mitzvah-based life, whether they can handle washing a lot of dishes (and have the space to store them) or not.
I think if you do the best you can, G-d will understand even if other Jews don't always. He is perfect, we are not.
What about ONE set of good healthy glass plates? Those should be good for both milk and meat.

The Swedish Data Protection Board is seeking tougher legislation to deter Internet bullying and prevent privacy violations, The Local reports. The board's recommendation follows a government request for a review on freedom of speech and press laws. Websites operated by media companies are protected by free speech clauses in Sweden's Constitution, but the board wants Sweden to adopt legislation that would criminalize posting offensive and insulting comments. "It shouldn't make a difference whether serious insults and privacy violations take place within or outside of areas protected by the constitution," said Göran Gräslund, the board's leader. "A criminal penalty would help create a balance between freedom of speech and protecting people's privacy."
