Broken Bells at First Avenue, 2/28/14

Broken Bells
With Au Revoir Simone
First Avenue, Minneapolis
February 28, 2014
When Broken Bells initially came together, the group had the sound and the feel of a one-off side project for the Shins' James Mercer and über producer Brian Burton (Danger Mouse). With the arrival of their second full-length, After the Disco, the band took on more of a substantial air, and has surpassed the other releases they have tied their names to in recent years.
Broken Bells launched their U.S. tour for the new record at a sold-out First Avenue on Friday night, and Mercer and Burton (along with two backing musicians) delivered a mostly enthralling 90-minute, 18-song set that demonstrated just how textured and absorbing their music can be when it's delivered on such a grand scale.
The quartet, clad in all black, took to the smoke-filled stage in front of a half-moon screen filled with astral images, while surrounded by ornate, old-Hollywood director's lights. Those striking visuals ultimately helped make the show quite compelling. As with the Shins, Mercer isn't the most gregarious frontman (and Burton didn't say a word throughout), so the show would have to be propelled by the music rather than any memorable between song banter.
For a tour kick-off show, the well-paced performance went off without any major kinks, as the group launched the set with a towering version of "A Perfect World," with Mercer and Burton set up behind space-aged keyboards that gave them the look of a modern day Kraftwerk. Mercer picked up an electric guitar for a scorching solo as the song began to swell, before Burton switched to bass to lead funky renditions of "The Ghost Inside" and "After the Disco" that continued the intoxicating start, with Mercer passionately pouring himself into his vocals.

After thanking the crowd, Mercer then announced mischievously, "This is our first show on this tour. I don't know if that makes you lucky, or not. All right, on with the music." "The Waiting Game" found the band shifting towards a more moody, downtempo tone, with accompanying saturnine stage lighting and vast cosmic imagery. The tranquil pink lantern that adorns their self-titled debut album rose on the screen like a futuristic sun during a pulsating version of that record's closing track, "The Mall & Misery," which flowed smoothly into a somber, anguished take on "The Angel & the Fool," augmented by the towering, stylish shadows of James and Brian on the backdrop as the pair delivered the number side-by-side.
Mercer picked up an acoustic guitar for a buoyant, Bee Gee's-like version of "Holding On For Life," as Danger Mouse provided a smooth bass line that gave the track some added bounce. Burton switched to drums for dynamic renditions of "Vaporize" and "Control," injecting the songs with a lively backbeat that the rest of the band elegantly built upon. A soaring, exquisite version of "Meyrin Fields" proved to be one of the high-points of the performance, as the towering and textured electronic beats filled the club. A tranquil run through of "Sailing to Nowhere" brought the rhythm of the set back down again, but the track built to a glorious finish, as the band gracefully shifted from classic rock tones to a lush, orchestral ending. Mercer joked after the outro faded out, "We sometimes refer to that song as 'Chord Party,' because there's a million chords in it. But I only have five."

Openers Au Revoir Simone then joined the band as backing vocalists, adding a stylish touch to the rest of the main set. Their dulcet vocals gave a dignified charm to a swinging version of "Medicine," while their contributions to "The Changing Lights" were mostly saved for the chorus, as the track's simmering, textured beats rang out pristinely throughout the club. "Leave it Alone," took on the flavor of a gospel-like singalong, as the slow-burning track proved to be infectious and soulful. While a hypnotic take on "The High Road" had the girls of Au Revoir Simone and a good majority of the packed house dancing to Broken Bells' big single, which ended the main set gloriously.
Sadly, the band seemed to run out of steam and vital material during the languid encore, with Burton and Mercer easing into things alone on the acoustic-driven "Citizen," before the rest of the band joined them for a somnolent version of "October." A percussion-fueled version of "Trap Doors" showed some signs of life, but the set ended mostly with a whisper, especially when compared to the luxurious, inspired material featured earlier in the set. But after Broken Bells second sold-out show at First Avenue, it's becoming clear that the band is more than just the mere sum of their parts, and might be more enduring than a short-lived side-project after all.
Critic's Notebook:
Personal Bias: While I like both of Broken Bells' albums, their live show is truly where these songs take flight. And while the Shins will always have better songs, Broken Bells live show is far superior to Mercer's celebrated other band.
The Crowd: Filled with fans of both the Shins and Danger Mouse's production work, interested in seeing how Burton and Mercer sound together.
Overheard In The Crowd: "This sounds like it could be a Shins B-side" -- During "Vaporize."

Random Notebook Dump: In addition to their elegant contributions to Broken Bells performance, Au Revoir Simone delivered a beguiling 35-minute opening set that drew from their intoxicating recent album, Move In Spectrums. "More Than," "The Lead Is Galloping," and "Crazy" all soared, with the trio's golden vocals and captivating beats ringing out textured and true throughout the packed club. I'm sure they earned themselves some new fans with this enchanting performance, while I personally can't wait until they return to Minneapolis to headline their own show.

Can Cricket unite South Asia?
The Indian sub continent has been much slower than almost any other region of the world to integrate. There are still major disputes, especially between India and Pakistan over Kashmir. These disputes have regularly lead to war since independence in 1947, most recently in the Kargil conflict of 1999. Relations are also regularly rocked by terrorist incidents. While the countries of South Asia may find political agreements difficult the populations are united by one thing; a love of cricket. There have sometimes been attempts to harness this shared passion to warm relations between the two main protagonists India and Pakistan. The most recent attempt came at the semi final of the world cup between Pakistan and India when the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh invited Prime Minister Youssef Raza Gilani of Pakistan. The event may end up helping to break the ice and restart negotiations between the two nations. However talks have been started before, and failed. Is there any reason to believe that Singh will manage to get a breakthrough to normal state to state relations he hopes for in the remaining three years of his term?
- Why not, Rugby helped unify South Africa.All the No points
Can Cricket unite South Asia?Yes because... No because...
Why not, Rugby helped unify South Africa.
Sport on the face of it is not that important. However, if you look deeper it is a potentially very derisive thing and potentially a very unifying thing.
The point of a sport is to compete and beat another team, player or whatever. So spectators usually pick a side. So this segregates people into different groups but if you can get people who would normally disagree and fight to support the same team then it gives them a common interest and something to unify them and therefore create more trust etc.
Although it could go the other way and create ill feeling when one of the teams is defeated.
Can Cricket unite South Asia?Yes because... No because...
no it cant there never gunna get on jesus christ guys be real
Can Cricket unite South Asia?Yes because... No because...
Don't turn a blind eye on the real issues. . .
Although I do believe that sports are a vital part of a nations collective psychological behavior, I fail to see to see how can just sports be of any use in ending 60 years of hatred and enmity. I just don't see this coming: " well played Sachin. Lets be friends forever!!". . . . I believe that only by tackling the real problems especially Kashmir can be the key to successful negotiations. And frankly I don't believe that Singh wants normal state to state relations, if he'd want them, he would not build dams on every river that flows towards Pakistan.Debates > Can Cricket unite South Asia?

ALPS, the firm behind the Equal Sector Weight ETF (EQL), is debuting a new fund that combines aspects of equal sector weighting with high dividend-paying stocks. The new ALPS Sector Dividend Dog ETF (SDOG) will apply the well known "Dogs of the Dow" methodology to a broader index of stocks, drawing its components instead from the S&P 500.
The Dogs of the Dow strategy, popularized in the early 1990s by Michael O'Higgins, is a very simple strategy: it involves picking the ten components of the Dow Jones Industrial Average with the highest dividend yield each year. This strategy is premised on the idea that companies do not alter their dividend to reflect trading conditions, and that therefore the payouts made to shareholders are more indicative of long-term value. Using that logic, it follows that the companies with the highest yield should maintain the greatest price appreciation potential–while simultaneously delivering attractive current returns.SDOG: A Few Twists
Dividend Dog ETF
SDOG will also be more balanced from a sector perspective, which should differentiate it from other dividend-focused ETFs. Many of the existing dividend ETFs tend to be concentrated in high yielding sectors such as utilities and telecom, and light on technology and other sectors not known for hefty distributions. SDOG, on the other hand, will maintain material allocations to all corners of the market. That strategy could have appeal for investors who are looking to avoid concentrations in particular sectors, as well as those who believe equal weighting represents a more efficient allocation strategy than market cap weighting.
SDOG will utilize equal weighting at both the sector and stock level. In other words, the portfolio will be broken down with:
- 10% allocated to each sector
- 2% allocated to each individual stock (so, five stocks per sector)
Generally speaking, dividend ETFs tend to be linked to cap-weighted or dividend-weighted indexes. Global X, however, does offer an equal weighted strategy through its SuperDividend ETF (SDIV). That fund maintains a global focus, and spreads exposure across 100 component securities.
ELEMENTS has offered an ETN linked to the Dow Jones High Yield Select 10 Total Return Index (DOD) since 2007. That index implements the Dogs of the Dow strategy, but has struggled to catch on with investors. DOD has fewer than $10 million in assets.Under The Hood
The portfolio of SDOG includes a number of the usual suspects, as well as some stocks that investors might not normally find in dividend-focused products. AT&T, Chevron, and Pfizer are all represented, along with companies such as Paychex, Cablevision, and Waste Management [see SDOG fact sheet for all index holdings].
|P/Cash Flow
|Data for indexes, as of 6/15
SDOG will charge an annual expense ratio of 0.40%, which is roughly in line with the average for the Large Cap Value Equities ETFdb Category. Expense ratios for dividend ETFs range from 0.13% to 0.88%.
Disclosure: No positions at time of writing.

About MeHello! Welcome to my MM page, thanks for stopping by. I minored in photography in my college years and up until 4 years ago had been away from it for a while. Relearning photography from a digital standpoint has been a great joy and I can say that I am very happy with my recent results. I enjoy helping models build their ports and am always looking for shots that help with building my portfolio and have a small studio in my home, so feel free to hit me up for a shoot. My rates are very cheap as this is not my primary source of income, I do this as a hobby and the fees I charge typically only cover the expenses incurred in actually doing the shoot. Portfolio development fees starting at $100.00 For your comfort feel free to bring an escort if you like, normally my wife (Summer mm # 854465) is present to help with the shoot.

They are seeking their first loan from Kiva's partner, the microfinance institution Soro Yiriwaso, in order to meet customer demand. The members of this group buy and sell charcoal and firewood, as does Assan T..
Assan T. intends to use her share of the loan to buy 40 sacks of charcoal. She gets her supplies from wholesalers in MANA and in the surrounding markets. She retails at the market in OUELESSEBOUGOU, in BAMAKO, and at her home, to a clientele comprising mostly women, for cash and on credit.
She foresees turning an average monthly profit of XOF 10'000 (ca US$ 20), to be used in part to help her husband with the daily expenses. The remainder will be reinvested in her business.
Elles sont à leur première collaboration avec l'institution de microfinance Soro Yiriwaso afin de satisfaire le besoin de leur clientèle.
Ce groupe de femmes fait le commerce du charbon de bois, à l'image de Assan T., du bois de chauffe, etc.
Assan T. compte acheter avec son prêt, 40 sacs de charbons de bois. Elle s'approvisionne à MANA et marchés environnants auprès des grossistes. Elle effectue sa vente au marché de Ouelessebougou ,BAMAKO et à domicile à une clientèle composée essentiellement de femmes, en détail, au comptant et à crédit.
Elle envisage réaliser un bénéfice mensuel moyen de 10.000FCFA dont une partie sera utilisée pour l'appui de son mari dans les dépenses quotidiennes et l'autre partie sera investie dans les activités.
Additional Information
Important InformationSoro Yiriwaso is a microfinance institution that works primarily in rural and semi-urban areas of Mali to provide underprivileged communities with access to financial services.The organization facilitates access for disadvantaged clients, particularly women, to new resources and services, fostering solidarity and cooperation among its clients. Kiva lenders' funds will enable Soro Yiriwaso to expand its outreach and target even more underserved Malians involved in business and agriculture.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

If businesses can't borrow the cash they need to grow and to hire workers, it won't matter how much training or education people receive.
The problem for would-be entrepreneurs, however, is how to obtain those initial dollars to get off the ground. Until the ripple effects from the recession become fewer, credit's going to remain tight, said Chris Butler, senior vice president and trust officer for Vancouver-based Riverview Asset Management Corp.
Banks have become more conservative about lending, which means entrepreneurs are going to need to get more creative than they ever have before.
When they do find their way to financing, business startups would do well to follow the example of Vancouver-based Columbia Vista: Diversify, and don't get caught flat-footed. Columbia Vista's revenue has grown, and the sawmill has added workers. That business plan it wrote so long ago is working.
"We have banks calling us all the time," said Bob Lewis, company president. "If you're perceived as a good risk," he added, bankers will see fit to issue loans.
However, Clark County's recovery will depend on more than local businesses finding creative ways to obtain capital, Butler said. Outside companies will play a significant role, too.
For example, the nonprofit health care system PeaceHealth, with $1.3 billion in revenues, is moving its headquarters to Vancouver as it solidifies its new role as the parent of Southwest Washington Medical Center.
PeaceHealth's move will bring 340 jobs to the area by 2014, and up to 400 more by the end of the decade. "That's outside capital coming in," Butler said. "Even though its outside capital, it brings the jobs."
Scott Bailey, regional labor economist for the state Employment Security Department, said regional public works projects would also inject cash into the economy, spur demand for goods and services, and create jobs.
One of those projects is the Port of Vancouver's $150 million rail expansion, planned for completion by 2017. The port is pursuing a $76 million loan from the federal government to help finish the work. Port officials forecast that the freight rail initiative will create about 4,000 temporary jobs during construction.
The region's other significant public works proposal is to build a new, $3.6 billion Interstate 5 bridge across the Columbia River. Construction of that project, which faces significant political hurdles, is estimated to create at least 12,000 jobs — though groundbreaking wouldn't occur until 2013 at the earliest.

The Women's Foundation for a Greater Memphis is entering its 21st year as a nonprofit set on transforming the lives of underprivileged women and their families.

The Mid-South is united by more than the Mississippi River, but that's what it took to get the region's mayors in the same room.
In the aftermath of the 2011 Mississippi River flood, damage stretched from Millington's naval base to Memphis' Beale Street. Leaders of the affected municipalities had to come together to apply for FEMA grants and plot their way out of devastation.
The recent uptick in the residential real estate market is devouring what's left of lot development that lagged during the recession, and tight supply is raising home prices in the Memphis area.
What was once Downtown's industrial and rail district is now one of the most densely populated residential neighborhoods in Memphis. Over 2,000 units are under development in the South End, and the current population is expected to double over the next two to three years, according to the Downtown Memphis Commission.
"I don't want to be viewed as the most powerful person in Memphis," said Paul Young, a Memphis native who became director of Housing and Community Development for the city of Memphis in January.
A busy weekend on several fronts not the least of which was Overton Park and the Greensward controversy.The Greensward itself was pretty subdued on a chilly Saturday.The action was to be found in an email the zoo sent out Saturday making some proposals and offering some thoughts on the traffic and parking study the Overton Park Conservancy released last week.Here is our summary of what the zoo is offering in what may be a new effort in the public discussion.Of course, the private discussion which is the mediation effort continues. But it sounds like some of the mediation discussions may be finding their way into the public discussion.The public discussion has been sporadically active but very muted so far. For instance there has been talk before of zoo parking on the eastern side of the park in what until recently was a city maintenance yard.The proposal by the zoo was shot down pretty quickly because it included running a tram through the Old Forest.But there are some scenarios that wouldn't take such a tram through the Old Forest.The zoo email from Saturday isn't specific on how the folks who would park at the maintenance yard would get from there to the zoo.Presumably that is grounds for some type of discussion.
The Memphis development community is looking inward and upward to increase density in the urban core. New construction is happening across all four commercial real estate sectors, with long-anticipated projects like Trader Joe's and the redevelopment of Central Station finally coming to fruition. Construction and operating costs continue to be a challenge as new projects hit the top of their class to command higher rents.
The Pinch District, one of Memphis' oldest neighborhoods, is getting its time in the spotlight.
The Downtown Memphis Commission, the city of Memphis Division of Housing & Community Development and the city-county Division of Planning & Development are coming together to develop the Pinch's first master plan in to bring the area up to date with mixed-use buildings and streetscape improvements.

Memphis Habitat has received a $13,500 grant from the Tennessee Housing Development Agency through Habitat for Humanity of Tennessee to support the construction of a new home in Uptown.
The funds were part of a $500,000 grant Habitat for Humanity of Tennessee received from the THDA Housing Trust Fund to distribute among the 50 Habitat affiliates across Tennessee to aid in the construction of 20 homes statewide.

The gold rush of residential development throughout Middle Tennessee conceals what some in the region say is a growing crisis in affordable housing.
New homes and condos come on to the market every day, and even more are under construction or still in the planning stage, but those homes are often on the higher end of the price scale.
It's hard to imagine that a 65,000-seat stadium could be overlooked. Perhaps it's because the Liberty Bowl wasn't in the center of the Mid-South Fairgrounds when the stadium was built in 1965; it was on the eastern side of 155 acres of city-owned land, with a rail spur running along its eastern boundary.
Memphis has a crippling issue with blight, and one nonprofit is front and center with changing the culture that led to the city's inundation of abandoned properties and lots.

A team of eight out-of-town planning experts has a busy week ahead as it wades into the simmering local debate about plans to recast the Mid-South Fairgrounds.
And the first hard copy of something the Urban Land Institute-assembled group is likely to get are the comments from four town hall meetings held in different parts of Memphis over two evenings last week.
Archie Willis III had just earned his master's degree in business at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill when he returned to Memphis in 1981 to help his father, A.W. Willis Jr., redevelop the Adler Hotel Annex.

WASHINGTON (AP) – More than one in four U.S. renters have to use at least half their family income to pay for housing and utilities.

With Bass Pro Shops formally opening this week, the next big project on City Hall's drawing board is a remake of Foote Homes.
The ambitious plan to demolish and rebuild the city's last large public housing project, using it as a catalyst for redevelopment of the much larger south Downtown into South Memphis area, has been on the books longer than The Pyramid. That's if you start the timeline with the demolition of the first large housing project, LeMoyne Gardens, in the late 1990s.
Kroger Co., buoyed by the Crosstown Concourse development and increased investment in Midtown as a whole, has purchased properties associated with the long-dormant Washington Bottoms project at Poplar Avenue and Cleveland Street.
At least 1 million people are expected to move to the Nashville region over the next 20 years. Already, the early arrivals have begun to dramatically change the landscape of the suburban counties surrounding the city.
A long-delayed city plan to remake a large swath of Downtown's southern end appears to be making a comeback.
Memphis Housing and Community Development director Robert Lipscomb said Tuesday that the city expects to receive good news on the Heritage Trail development plan sometime this year.
With a HUD official in town last week bearing word of a $3 million job training grant for public housing residents, city leaders remained focused on what Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. calls "the big one."
The windows on the old Executive Inn on Airways Boulevard where Brooks Road dead ends had been busted out for several years, leaving the curtains in its long-empty rooms fluttering in the wind.
But in January, demolition crews began ripping away at the blighted property at 3222 Airways, providing relief to residents and business owners whose own property values suffered because of the neglected property in that corner of Whitehaven.
As the story goes, Al Green wrote the lyrics to "Let's Stay Together" in about five minutes. In 1972, the song – which spans just three minutes and 13 seconds – reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The national outlook for traditional enclosed malls is bleak. No new enclosed mall has been built in the U.S. since 2006. More than 24 have closed since 2010, and an additional 60 are teetering on the edge, according to data from Green Street Advisors. Around 15 percent of malls nationwide are expected to close in the next decade.
In recent weeks, the mayor's race has taken a new focus: Affordable housing.
Some in the community feel this is unwarranted and take issue with organizations such as NOAH (Nashville Organized for Action and Hope), which are forcing the candidates to spend more time on social issues, which I support.
The owners of Southbrook Mall got $1.5 million in improvements from City Hall this week. But it wasn't the $1.5 million the owners of the Whitehaven mall wanted in 2012, when the city contemplated giving them that sum to fix the roof and make repairs to the mall's heating and air conditioning system.
In April, Rachel Diller, managing director of the urban investment group at Goldman Sachs, received a phone call in her New York office from officials at Phoenix-based Dudley Ventures.
The executives at Dudley Ventures, which specializes in large tax-credit supported projects, were arranging financing for the $200 million effort to transform the old Sears Crosstown property and wanted to know if the New York-based investment bank was interested.
The city of Memphis secured $6.7 million in federal funding last week to improve and rehab public housing.
Meanwhile, the city's application for a much larger federal grant to demolish the city's last large public housing development was making the rounds at the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Richard Spore and his colleague at the Memphis office of the Bass Berry & Sims law firm have worked on several ambitious, game-changing projects like the transformation of Overton Square and Bass Pro Shops' redevelopment of The Pyramid.
The Women's Foundation for a Greater Memphis has selected 29 recipients to receive grant funding for its 2014-2015 funding year, with allocations totaling $510,000.
Each year, the foundation invites organizations whose projects or continuing programs fall within its mission, vision and one or more of five areas of focus (economic and financial literacy, entrepreneurship, job readiness/career development, leadership development and non-traditional job training) to apply for funding.

For about three years Veronica Skinner called the two-story, 24-unit apartment building at 480 Tillman St. in the Binghampton neighborhood home.
Memphis-based Loeb Properties has acquired one of the most venerable locations on the Highland strip.
Loeb purchased the long-time home of club and restaurant Newby's at 535 and 539 Highland St. from Paragon Bank. A purchase price was not disclosed Friday, Jan. 2.
A new single-family residential project in the heart of Victorian Village is doing very well, thank you very much.

This Thanksgiving marks two years that Aisha Lbhalla, her husband and their two young sons have lived in Edison Park.
They have a single-family home that backs up to her older son's school, Thomas A. Edison Elementary. The house has four bedrooms, brick facing, a garage and nearly 1,500 square feet, Lbhalla says.
In June a group of 100 gang members lined both sides of Mosby Avenue between Dunlap and Ayers Streets, shutting down the area, as they celebrated the birthday of a fellow gang member, according to the local Multi-Agency Gang Unit.
For the second time in a year, local authorities have declared a "safety zone" in Memphis where gang members are forbidden by a civil court order from congregating in public.
The street gang named in the Environmental Court order signed Monday, Oct. 6, by General Sessions Judge Larry Potter is known as the Dixie Homes Murda Gang, 47 Neighborhood Crips and Team 400 among other names.
As the city shifts into fall, planners are gearing up for the final phase of NashvilleNext, a three-year long planning process that will have a major impact on growth and development patterns in Davidson County over the next 25 years.
The tag "Hip Donelson" evoked plenty of snickers, eye rolls and snarky comments when it first appeared. After all, the local joke goes, Donelson's known for hip replacements – not hipsters.
While the national economy is still rebounding from the 2008 housing crisis, foreclosures, vacant homes and blighted properties are a lingering issue many markets throughout the country have to address.
Hardly a day goes by that a residential real estate broker is not asked: "When will it end?"
Elliot Eisenberg, Ph.D., authors Elliot Eisenberg's Brief Blog and sends it daily to subscribers. Here's what he had to say on the subject in his August 25 edition:
It was 2008 and Memphis-based Makowsky Ringel Greenberg had just acquired a swath of property inside Boyle Investment Co.'s master planned Schilling Farms community in Collierville for a new multifamily development.
John G. Brittle Jr. doesn't have an office. He has a war room. The space, crowded with maps, charts, books, piles of paper and marked-up spreadsheets, is ground zero for InfillNashville, the 10-person team of site selection specialists that Brittle leads at Village Real Estate Services.
When Ridgeland, Miss.-based development firm the Bryan Co. broke ground on The Horizon condominium tower in 2007, it was at the peak of the housing bubble and optimism from elected officials and Downtown boosters was equally high.
Over a recent weekend, around 30 members of Grace-St. Luke's Episcopal Church descended on a home in the Northwood Hills community just north of Raleigh.
They came armed with determination and demolition tools, spending most of the weekend ripping out old appliances, tearing away wallpaper that had seen better days and preparing the dog-eared house for a rehabilitation project that will make it a home.
What would begin as 67 apartments in the former U.S. Marine Hospital and nurses' quarters on the northern edge of the French Fort neighborhood would grow in phases to a $150 million development south of E.H. Crump Boulevard, according to a plan unveiled over the weekend.
After suffering from years of benign neglect, a new, more invigorated Memphis Medical Center is finally beginning to take shape.
A drive or walk around the area these days shows the hallmarks of a changing landscape – bulldozers, backhoes, cranes and construction crews working feverishly to forge the new urban environment.
The Carrington at Schilling Farms looks like an apartment community you might find in Downtown Memphis or a town square, but the development – Boyle Investment Co.'s first apartment project in more than 30 years – is in the heart of Collierville.
The Atlanta Beltline is an infrastructure framework around the urban core of Atlanta – a 22-mile loop of mostly abandoned railroads that is being transformed into a transit greenway.
It is a linear park with streetcars, bicycle paths and pedestrian trails that will connect more than 40 diverse neighborhoods, as well as city schools, historic sites and cultural locales.
The plan to demolish the last large public housing development in Memphis and use the demolition as a catalyst for a larger redevelopment of the surrounding area did not make the final cut with federal housing officials in Washington.
The former Mason YMCA on Walker Avenue near the University of Memphis is getting a new look. The redevelopment of the 11,500-square-foot property is underway and should be complete by the end of the year.
Community development corporations are designed to help create more housing in areas where investors and banks might not normally invest without incentives.
But the CDCs, as they are known, are increasingly in the business of adding business development to the housing in a combination of community building.
The city of Memphis is making changes in its plans to finance two housing developments that are part of the broader Heritage Trail plan for redevelopment of the area south of FedExForum and into South Memphis.

Impressive, Mysterious BioShock Infinite Trailer Released - NewsCraig Snow, posted on 28 January 2013 / 1,433 Views
Irrational Games' latest trailer for the upcoming BioShock Infinite is certainly different.
The trailer, called "Truth from Legend - Columbia: A Modern Day Icarus", discusses the history of the floating city's succession from America in the form of archive footage from a documentary released on Earth. The eerie vibe created by the haunting music and superb narration, and the intriguing ways it hints at completely hidden aspects of the game itself, makes it one of the most impressive video game trailers in recent memory.
This is a must see in my opinion:
BioShock Infinite is set for worldwide release on March 26th.

The cost of smartphones is still a big barrier to the spread of Internet access in emerging markets, but state-backed projects in countries like Malaysia are helping more people get online.
Handing someone a device is "the ultimate last mile" in connectivity, Suresh Sidhu, chief corporate and operations officer at Malaysian mobile operator Celcom Axiata, said at CommunicAsia on Tuesday. Digital inclusion "extends beyond the connectivity" to the device, he said.
There have been many well-documented programmes throughout the world in recent years to distribute laptops and netbook PCs to rural areas, schools and so on, and Malaysia is no exception. However, the country has taken this type of inclusion to the next step with a scheme to provide smartphones to young people.
A few hundred thousand young people have been provided with "roughly a US$70 subsidy…in order to buy their first smartphone," Sidhu said.
This, and other projects designed to improve Internet access - such as the establishment of rural broadband centres, for example – are funded through the universal service fund to which all operators contribute.
Smartphone penetration is the most important piece of the puzzle when it comes to improving Internet access, Sidhu said.
Smartphones must be disseminated "as far into the population as possible," he added, noting that these devices will be the first and maybe only Internet device for certain groups of people.

About the Ticket Supplier: The Ruckus TheaterAs a company, we are focused and devoted both to the development of new work and the exploration of the standard rehearsal model. We emphasize open communication and exploration between the traditional roles defined in the rehearsal room -- that is to say, the actors feed the playwright, who feeds the director, who feeds the actors, designers, and dramaturg, who all give back in turn. We actively encourage each other to step outside our comfort zones. We are dedicated to developing our work and each other. We are particularly interested in involving alternate forms of media and embracing the unexpected way to tell the story.
The Ruckus is a transplant of Kalamazoo, MI, made up of actors, directors, playwrights, musicians, casting directors, publicity managers, grant writers, baristas, grad students, music directors, baby teachers, poets, computer fixers, appointment-makers and census-takers. We aim to make new things and think about them.

I love my juicer, but I haven't been using it often because of the amount of pulp that it gives off. I enjoy most fruit and veggies and don't mind eating them whole, so I feel like the pulp (or whatever you call the stuff that doesn't go in your juice) is such a waste. Any ideas on what to do with it? Does it still contain nutrients?

I've heard of people feeding it to their chickens. I spread it in my garden, and also use it in muffins/cakes. I usually just juice the animal friendly veggies/fruits separate and mix the pulp into our homemade dog food and throw the "unsafe" pulp away. Wish I had chickens to feed it to and we're moving in July so no garden to fertilize this year either!

While it does make an awesome compost tea or compost that noticeably perks up plants, we try to take a sample of the pulp of each veggie that was juiced, mix it, and put it into small bags to freeze. Then, marinara, sloppy joes, burgers, soups etc all have a quick nutritious addition that rounds out their flavor. Even if there is not as much nutrition in the pulp, it is filling and thickens dishes, resulting in feeling full more quickly, reducing weight gain.

text: Man refused bail over methedrone haul 29 May 2013 A £50,000 haul of methedrone seized near Belfast was shipped in via a courier service from China, the High Court has heard. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast Prosecutors claimed a man accused over the consignment tried to use another vulnerable suspect as a patsy to collect the parcel.Peter Neill denies a charge of attempted possession of a Class B drug with intent to supply. The 45-year-old, of Hazelbank Road, Coleraine, was refused bail due to the risk of re-offending.Two kilos of a methedrone variation were sent from Shanghai using a freight service in February, the court heard on Tuesday.The package, addressed to a vacant property in Ballymoney, was intercepted by UK Borders Agency but allowed to travel on.It was taken to a depot in Mallusk, Newtownabbey because no-one was present to sign for it, the court heard.A judge heard claims that Neill drove to the freight centre with another man and woman.All three were arrested after he allegedly dropped the other man off to go in and collect the parcel.According to prosecution lawyer Philip Henry phone calls had been made to check train times and to price a taxi fare back to Coleraine.He claimed this was an attempt to arrange alternative transport so the other man was not in Neill's car with the drugs.Mr Henry said that suspect has been assessed as vulnerable and "easily led"."(He) was being used, the prosecution say, as a patsy, whereas this applicant was a controller," the barrister added.Joe Brolly, defending, rejected claims of possible interference with the other suspect, pointing out that he is now in custody for separate matters.Neill, a father of five, has denied knowing anything about the drugs package and stressed he has no links to the house it was to be delivered to.He only agreed to drive the other man to Mallusk in return for being paid £30, the court heard.Refusing bail, Mr Justice Deeny held there was a prima facie case of "somebody who took advantage of the modern state of the world just to import this dangerous drug into Northern Ireland and was trying to leave a distance between himself and the drug". © UTV Share Share Share

It would be so funny if instead of D4X or D4S nikon announced D4F; where F stands for Film. Yep, how about a 35mm film body with all the bells and whistles of D4. Nikon could make a killing if they also launched their own line of film; upto iso "over 9,000".
I know this is stupid, and most likely people will call it a troll post, but i think it would be really funny if this hypothetical situation actually occurred.
-- hide signature --
1. D800 is the first camera with resolution so high that it simply does not matter.
2. Most people who do not own/shoot d800 misunderstand it. Color depth and accuracy in addition to resolution is what makes d800 great. Resolution alone is over rated.

Exhibitionism: The Rolling Stones
London College of Fashion, one of the six Colleges which form University of the Arts London, is the only college in the UK to specialise in fashion education, research and consultancy. With an international reputation for fashion education, we offer a unique portfolio of courses from fashion design and technology, management and marketing to communication, promotion and image creation. Our aim is to reflect the breadth of opportunity available in this vibrant industry.
Whether a student's passion is for footwear design, make-up for film, fashion buying or styling for photographic shoots, the philosophy of all our courses is to offer creative development alongside a strong vocational slant. The expertise of our highly experienced industry professionals ensures that students are kept aware of changing demands and opportunities within the fashion industry. Many of our tutors combine teaching with careers within the industry. This allows them to pass on invaluable 'insider' knowledge to students, on the latest technologies, techniques and trends. We can therefore offer our students a combination of practical and theoretical skills, supported by an understanding of the cultural context in which fashion operates.
At London College of Fashion we believe that fashion is an international language. This outlook is reflected in the high number of international students we welcome to the college, from over seventy countries. This cross-cultural mix is a distinctive feature of the college community. Our perspective is further enhanced by the many academic links we have with colleges across the world.
UK and European students are also encouraged to study their subject with a global perspective. To help aid them in this approach exchange programmes have been set up in New York, Madrid, Budapest, Florence, Berlin and Amsterdam. Our students are also offered the opportunity to undertake work experience abroad

Thai Ginger Chicken
Last night's meal was a success. (Sorry no picture) I found it in my Thai cookbook and modified it somewhat. The prep is easy, maybe 15 minutes or so.
Here it is –
In a wok heat enough peanut oil to cover surface.
Add in 1 tablespoon of crushed garlic, 3 tablespoons of crushed ginger, and 1.5 pounds of bite size chicken pieces.
While that cooks –
Take 2 cups of water and add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, set aside.
Chop up a zucchini and carrots. (Amount and style up to you.)
Check chicken, if cooked, add liquid and vegetables and simmer for 20 minutes.
Serve over Jasmine rice.
**Change to your taste. Ginger spice could be added to give it more of a kick. I used water instead of fish and oyster sauce. You could also simmer vegetables for less time if you like crunchy.

I am stripping some bikes and find myself once again baffled by the apparent anonymity of various Campagnolo models.
I would like to keep my apples and oranges separate, or rather my Athenas, Choruses and Records etc straight....
I expect it is simply a matter of developing an experienced eye for the design differences (I am working through Frank Berto's book slowly. Can anyone direct me to another Dummies "Campagnolo Model Deciphering" source?)
Can anyone help me figure out what era and model these cranks and this FD are? (and how you would tell?)
Many thanks

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The course of UCF's season changed in a Will Stanback-shaped blur on Saturday night.
The Knights heard warnings all week from their coaches. This was not the Tigers teams of old. The American Athletic Conference road opener would not be a "gimme" win. And yet UCF came out looking flat and uninspired.

NFL unveils new Pro Bowl uniforms NFL unveils new Pro Bowl uniforms Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More Audibles Offseason Breakdown: Dallas Cowboys by Chris Burke Add Favorite Favorite Added Twitter Email Posted: Tue Jun. 12, 2012 The Cowboys hope free agent acquisition Brandon Carr (No. 39) can help solidify a secondary that finished 23rd in the league in yards allowed last year. (Matthew Emmons/US Presswire)With NFL training camps just around the corner, we're taking a team-by-team look at how the offseason played out and what you can expect in 2012. Click here to read them all.On Nov. 6 of last year, the Cowboys kicked off a four-game win streak by downing the Seattle Seahawks. One week later, the Giants stumbled in San Francisco, lifting the lid on a four-game losing streak.All signs pointed to Dallas pulling away in a very mediocre NFC East and returning to the playoffs after missing out in 2010.That all changed in Week 13, though. Despite a lethargic effort on the road at Arizona, Dallas was in position to pull out its fifth straight victory. But at the end of regulation, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett inexplicably iced his own kicker prior to a potential game-winning field goal. Dan Bailey then missed the 49-yarder, Arizona went on to win in overtime, and the Cowboys lost four of their final five games -- including a 31-14 shellacking in the Meadowlands in Week 17, which gave the Giants the division crown.Dallas looks like a favorite in the NFC East again. As owner Jerry Jones said just a few weeks ago, however, the window might be closing on the Cowboys' aging core.2011 Record: 8-8 (third place, NFC East)Key Additions: CB Brandon Carr, CB Morris Claiborne, LB Dan Connor, DE Tyrone Crawford, G Nate Livings, QB Kyle Orton, S Brodney Pool, FB Lawrence VickersKey Subtractions: TE Martellus Bennett, S Abram Elam, CB Terence Newman, WR Laurent Robinson Team Strengths: QB, RB, WR, CB, OLBTeam Weaknesses: OL, DE Three Things to Watch: 1. Has the interior of the offensive line been fixed?: During the 2010 season, the Cowboys lined up Andre Gurode at center with Leonard Davis at right guard and Kyle Kosier on the left. Last season, Dallas featured a Montrae Holland-Phil Costa-Kosier interior for the majority of its games.The drop-off was severe.Costa struggled mightily in the middle and ranked as the 30th-best center in the league among guys who played at least 25 percent of his team's snaps, according to Pro Football Focus. Kosier wasn't much better after flipping to right guard, though Holland provided a bright spot after being re-signed in October following a September release.No matter how you cut it, though, Dallas must get better blocking up front, both in the run and pass games. In hopes of making that happen, the Cowboys signed guard Nate Livings, who started every game in 2010 and '11 for Cincinnati, as well as ex-Panther Mackenzy Bernadeau.Will those additions be enough to turn things around? We may not know until late in training camp, since Bernadeau is out for several weeks with a hip injury. Tyron Smith, a 2011 first-round pick, provides top-notch protection at left tackle. Dallas just needs to find some help alongside him.2. How much will Dallas miss Laurent Robinson?: Aside from Alex Smith's success in San Francisco, there may not have been a more surprising story than Robinson during the 2011 NFL season. After spending four disappointing years between St. Louis and Atlanta, Robinson came out of nowhere to become Tony Romo's favorite target with Dez Bryant hobbled by hamstring issues all season and Miles Austin forced to miss six games due to injury.Robinson wound up catching 58 passes for 858 yards and a team-high 11 touchdowns. His 15.9 yards-per-catch average was second on the team to only the sparingly used Jesse Holley, who put up a 24.1 clip on seven grabs.Robinson bailed in the offseason to sign a lucrative deal in Jacksonville. And now Dallas has to find a new safety net behind Bryant and Austin. Kevin Ogletree remains an option, though he's yet to turn the corner through three seasons. But the sleeper for the job is fifth-round pick Danny Coale out of Virginia Tech, who ought to get every opportunity to win some playing time.3. Rookies' impact on the defense: Rather than sit around and hope an impact player fell to them at No. 14 overall, the Cowboys rolled the dice at the draft and traded up for the No. 5 pick, which they used on dynamic LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne.He will be asked to step into the starting lineup immediately, with free-agent pickup Brandon Carr manning the other spot -- Dallas released Terence Newman, a 14-game starter at CB in 2011, and has reportedly been looking to deal Mike Jenkins, who started a dozen games.There's no question that Claiborne is extremely talented, but how will he hold up in a division featuring players like Victor Cruz, Hakeem Nicks and DeSean Jackson? If he pulls his weight and Carr is as effective as he was in Kansas City, the Cowboys could have one of the league's top 1-2 punches at cornerback.Don't overlook third-round pick Tyrone Crawford, either. The Cowboys badly need better production out of their defensive ends so, after handing off their second-round pick in that move up for Claiborne, they snatched up the ex-Boise State star. Don't be surprised if he winds up starting early in the season.Outlook: Few teams in the league boast the raw star power of the Cowboys. Be it Bryant and Austin out wide, an underrated Tony Romo at QB, DeMarcus Ware at linebacker or, now, Claiborne, you can find elite talent all over the field in Dallas.So why is this team 14-18 over the past two seasons? For whatever reasons, this group has made a habit of imploding at exactly the wrong time, from the coaching staff on down -- with that Arizona game and the Week 17 face plant vs. the Giants being perfect examples. Dallas did well this offseason to address its needs, especially at cornerback and (the Cowboys hope) along the offensive line. Another playoff miss might lead to huge changes in Big D. The NFC is loaded, so a postseason spot is far from a given, but the Cowboys should be right there all year and may even be the team to beat in the East. Comments
