What's going on Saturday? (Tacocat, Trail of Dead, Mates of State, Adam Green, Raspberry Bulbs, Magik Markers & more)
Tacocat @ SXSW 2014 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
Raspberry Bulbs at 285 Kent in 2013 (more by Fred Pessaro)
You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight's shows, but here are some highlights...
...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, La Femme, Midnight Masses @ Bowery Ballroom
Celebrating their 20th anniversary as a band, Trail of Dead are touring their classic 2002 album Source Codes and Tags. If you're going tonight, get there in time to see French band La Femme (a weird double bill, admittedly).
The Range, Natasha Kmeto, Hirshi b2b Kroba @ Glasslands
Rhode Island's The Range makes excellent IDM, as heard on 2013's Nonfiction and his just-released Panasonic EP. Catch him at the small-ish Glasslands tonight before he plays 3 huge shows with CHVRCHES.
Four Visions, Home Alone, RL Kelly, Ricky Eat Acid, Alex G, Elvis Depressedly @ Shea Stadium
This show is stacked with local-ish lo-fi songwriters, including Alex G, his pal R.L. Kelly, Sam Ray (with his sample-happy Ricky Eat Acid project), and more.
Darwin Deez, The Ballroom Thieves, King Holiday, Such Hounds, Caveman DJ set, Ben Lovett DJ set @ Brooklyn Night Bazaar
Tonight's BKNB programming was curated by Communion, the label run by Mumford & Sons's Ben Lovett. Eccentric pop dude Darwin Deez headlines and it's an evening of friendly sounds all around. Plus: Lovett as your DJ, and of course gourmet food stalls, beer/wine, shopping, ping pong, mini golf and more.
Magik Markers, Endless Boogie, Mike Wolf DJ set @ Union Pool
Noise trio Magik Markers' new album was recorded partially in J Mascis' attic in Amherst, and as you might expect, sounds completely void of any type of studio work. Expect a din tonight.
Kidrockers w/ Adam Green and San Fermin @ NYU Skirball Center
The popular series that presents grownup music for kids (and their parents) moves from its usual Brooklyn Bowl confines to NYU for this show featuring professional wildcard Adam Green and the string-laden San Fermin.
Joseph Arthur @ BRIC House
The multitalented Joseph Arthur returned with two albums this year -- The Ballad of Boogie Christ acts 1 and 2 -- and will release a Lou Reed Tribute later this year.
Man Forever, William Basinski @ Merkin Concert Hall
The fest that pairs pop musicians with modern composers concludes tonight with this collaboration between Man Forever (aka Oneida drummer Kid Millions) and The Disintegration Loops creator Williams Basinski.
Tacocat, Mannequin Pussy, Desert Sharks, Bluffing @ Death by Audio
Seattle's palindromic Tacocat just released the very fun NVM, that's part '90s indie rock attitude, part surfy twang, with a little bubblegum to make your cup runneth over. Their shows are a lot of fun, and with an undercard of well-chosen local bands, this'll be a good night out.
Raspberry Bulbs, Virile Games, Anxiety Hammer, DJ Anthony Pappa @ Baby's All Right
NYC's Raspberry Bulbs may owe some of their sound to black metal, but ultimately they're a raw, fast punk band with songs that just beg to be seen live. You can do just that at Baby's All Right tonight.
Mates of State @ Joe's Pub
Part of their "seated acoustic piano / drums / voices / strings / horns" tour, Mates of State play early and late shows at Joe's Pub tonight.
Dead Rider, Les Bon Hommes, Aperiodic @ Cake Shop
Chicago experimental rockers Dead Rider are one hell of a weird band that are sure to leave at least some kind of impression. Tonight they team up with Les Bon Hommes, whose lineup features members of Deerhoof and Rainer Maria.
Silent Servant @ Trans Pecos
Tonight's Silent Servant show has been canceled.
Gorgon City, Kidnap Kid, Jonas Rathsman @ Music Hall of Williamsburg
Another of the UK dance-pop makers (Disclosure, Rudimental, Duke Dumont), London duo Gorgon City have a major label debut LP coming out this year, and it won't be surprising if they hit it big like many of their contemporaries already have. So catch them at MHOW tonight before they're selling out Terminal 5.
Wo Fat, Roadsaw, Lo-Pan, Geezer, Neon Warship @ Saint Vitus
Lo-Pan revel in bluesy riffs and stoner grooves, which should fit pretty well with the rest of tonight's heavy lineup at Saint Vitus.
Anwar Sadat, Patrick Higgins, Algis Kizys, Fangs @ Bowery Electric
Louisville post punks Anwar Sadat make fast, heavy post-punk that doesn't feel weird being compared to Big Black or The Jesus Lizard. Tonight's their first of two NYC shows, and the lineup is stacked with Zs member Patrick Higgins, ex-Swans member Algis Kizys (joined by current Swans member Norman Westberg, Unsane/Foetus member Vincent Signorelli, and Lynn Wright), and Fangs (aka Sonic Youth/Swans producer Martin Bisi joined by members of Phantom Family Halo and Eula).
The xx @ Park Avenue Armory
The xx finally conclude their run of 25 shows at the Park Avenue Armory tonight. The shows are extremely intimate (holds 40 people) and very sold out.
For all of tonight's shows, and tomorrow's, check out our NYC concert calendar.

The Basement Tapes Band..
A trove of two dozen unfinished Bob Dylan songs written circa 1967 during his "Basement Tapes" period is being completed by an all-star band assembled by producer T Bone Burnett and including Elvis Costello, Marcus Mumford and My Morning Jacket's Jim James for release as an album and Showtime special later this year.More information on that project, which also includes Rhiannon Giddens (Carolina Chocolate Drops) and Taylor Goldsmith (Dawes), at the LA Times with the full press release pasted below.
"These are not B-level Dylan lyrics," Burnett, 66, said Monday during a break in filming and recording sessions in Hollywood for the project titled "Lost on the River: The New Basement Tapes." [LA Times]
Questlove & Elvis Costello @ the Capitol Theater - March 12, 2014
Meanwhile, before heading to Las Vegas to help open Peter Shapiro's new Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas, Elvis Costello and The Roots stopped by Peter's Port Chester, NY venue the Capitol Theater for a collaborative show in support of their new collaborative album.

Forest Hills Tennis Stadium - 8/28/13
"Yes, Forest Hills, Queens, New York. We just can't believe you all came. This is amazing," keyboardist Ben Lovett said. "We were like, 'Are you sure you can invite 17,000 people to a tennis court?' It hasn't happened in a long time." [ABC News]After years of not hosting music, Queens' Forest Hills Tennis Stadium (which had booked The Beatles, The Stones, and others back in the day) reopened as a music venue on Wednesday (8/28) with a show from Mumford & Sons, The Vaccines, and Bear's Den. With more shows being planned for the next two summers, this one acted as a bit of a test run, and it wasn't without its obstacles.
Certain fans who had already purchased tickets were reportedly turned away from the show, not because it was oversold, but because the venue was having trouble getting people up to the second deck. For those who were turned away, the promoters are offering refunds on tickets. A statement (via Jambands.com) reads:
Dear Patrons,The park is on a residential street, and some residents who live in the area were not too happy about the show either. One resident, Tracey Joseph, compared the event to what VMAs did to Brooklyn, writing (via Patch):
We are writing to acknowledge some issues with tonight's Mumford & Sons concert at Forest Hills Stadium. As many of you know, this was the first show in many years at the stadium, and we collectively experienced the growing pains that come with re-opening a new venue.
We hope you enjoyed the show, but we will gladly offer full refunds to those of you who did not have an optimal experience at the stadium. We can assure you that we are working with City Officials and City Agencies to improve conditions and make sure everyone who comes to a show in Forest Hills has the best experience possible.
If you would like a refund, please contact Front Gate Tickets Support.
On behalf of the West Side Tennis Club, WSTC Events, Bowery Presents and Mumford & Sons, we apologize for any difficulties and thank you for taking the chance on joining us for this historic concert.
We hope to see you again soon.
I just want to know who the genius was that let a TV show and a concert block traffic and take up parking all in the same week. And residents are mostly annoyed because they gave us no notice about the traffic and parking until a Gardens email yesterday afternoon.Another Patch reader, Superkitty87, emailed them saying:
We are being told that we will not be allowed in the park during the concert. Furthermore, we will not be allowed out on the sidewalks or in the streets for the duration of the day. We will only be allowed to leave the neighborhood and return home to our apartments. We have every right to be there as we have been every day and will continue to be. We will not stand for this, so than an already overpriced tennis club can make more money.Other residents reacted more kindly, including some who were interviewed in a NY1 video, who seemed to support the idea of the concerts.
Mixed reviews came from inside the venue too. One attendee emailed Gothamist, writing:
The bathroom and beer lines were insane, and with all the volunteer help, no one seemed to care what happened. Lots of people were smoking around us and they even let my boyfriend and his friend walk in smoking cigars.Did you go to the show? Or did you experience it from living nearby? If so, how do you think it all went down?
It was a fantastic show and lots of fun, even with the girls next to us who spent the entire concert screaming at each other for long periods of time and then dancing entirely too frantically. The band was so fun, they forgot lyrics, jumped over their equipment that they knocked over and just had an amazing time.

Jack White, Patti Smith, Colin Meloy, Conor Oberst and more playing songs from Coen Brothers' 'Inside Llewyn Davis' in NYC
still from 'Inside Llewyn Davis'
Inside Llewyn Davis is the new Coen Brothers film starring Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, John Goodman, Garrett Hedlund and Justin Timberlake, which has been on the festival circuit this year (including this fall's New York Film Festival) and will open in December. The music in the film was executively produced by T-Bone Burnett, and mostly consists of covers of old folk songs. The soundtrack will be released on November 12 via Nonesuch.
The film's music will be celebrated and performed in NYC on September 29 at Town Hall during a big concert that features Jack White, Patti Smith, Colin Meloy (The Decemberists), Conor Oberst, Joan Baez, Marcus Mumford, Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Punch Brothers, Avett Brothers, Milk Carton Kids, Rhiannon Giddens (Carolina Chocolate Drops), and more, in addition to some of the film's cast, including Oscar Isaac, John Goodman, Carey Mulligan, and Stark Sands.
Tickets for the show go on sale Wednesday (8/21) at noon with a presale beginning Tuesday (8/20) at noon. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the National Recording Preservation Foundation.

But yet there are more videos still that we didn't get around to, which is where we are now. Check out clips from CHVRCHES, King Krule, Caged Animals, Cookie Monster covering Icona Pop, CYHSY, Schoolboy Q & Kendrick Lamar, Dave Hill onstage with Phil Anselmo, and a Mumford & Sons video that even haters might...this was okay.

Osheaga 2013 day 3 in pics: Kendrick Lamar, Jessie Ware, New Order, Mumford & Sons, Frightened Rabbit and more
photos by Toby Tenenbaum
Kendrick Lamar / New Order / Jessie Ware
While they might not realize it, many of today's popular electro acts owe a debt to New Order, a seminal electronic dance band that formed from the ashes of Joy Division more than three decades ago. As the sun set over Osheaga, the British post-punk group delivered a lengthy set that spanned the better part of their career and included hits "Blue Monday," "Perfect Kiss," "True Faith" and "Bizarre Love Triangle," the '80s dance anthem that caused the sizable crowd to reach a fever pitch. "Nice to see you've got a bit of the English weather," frontman Bernard Sumner quipped as storm clouds gathered overhead. While founding bassist Peter Hook was absent from the proceedings (he chose to go his own way a few years ago and parted on less than amicable terms), new guys Tom Chapman and Phil Cunningham proved themselves up to the challenge of living up to the band's legacy. Before handing over the main field to Osheaga's closing headliners, they performed three seminal Joy Division tunes including the legendary "Love Will Tear Us Apart," leaving the stage on a blissfully dark high note. [Under the Radar]Montreal's 2013 Osheaga Festival wrapped up on Sunday (8/4). We already posted pictures of day 1 and pictures of day 2, and here's a set of pictures from day 3 in this post. On the festival's final day, we saw sets from Mumford & Sons, New Order, Kendrick Lamar, Charles Bradley, Jessie Ware, Frightened Rabbit, and more. That day also included sets (that we unfortunately missed) by Hot Chip, Big Boi, Father John Misty, Disclosure, Holy Ghost! and more.

Tame Impala at Terminal 5 in February (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin)
We know these kinds of listicles get published all the time, and that everyone will always find ways to argue them, but this one is kind of interesting. Rolling Stone published their '50 Greatest Live Acts Right Now' list, where they asked a panel of writers, industry figures, and artists, "who rules the road in 2013?" It's got much of the stuff you'd think Rolling Stone would have on this kind of list (like insisting The Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen are still better live than basically anyone else in 2013), but there's still some surprises, like the inclusion of Tame Impala amongst mainly rock/pop stars.
If you wanna see if you agree with Rolling Stone's assertions, you can catch some of the artists who made their list in NYC soon, like Tame Impala, Fiona Apple, Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails, and more.
Check out the full list below...

The stadium / old Who ticket stub
After decades of languishing in obscurity and disrepair, one of the most famous sports and concert sites in New York will again reverberate with the sound of live music.As quoted above, Forest Hills Tennis Stadium in Queens will host music again for the first time in decades this year. Promoters are treading lightly with just the one, gentle show this year. The venue's neighbors in the exclusive Forest Hills Gardens community still need convincing the concerts won't be a nuisance, which is why they stopped having shows there in the '80s. "This stadium has a great history and we'd like to see classy events," said club president Roland Meier in the Times. "If we pull off the first event the right way, we can show people this is going to be well done. With every concert, more money goes into the stadium. Basically this finances the upgrading of the stadium and the club gets more money."
Since the late 1980s, the stadium has deteriorated.
The Forest Hills Tennis Stadium in Queens, which opened in 1923 and has played host to Jimmy Connors and John Lennon, sits next to an expanse of grass and clay tennis courts at the West Side Tennis Club, the stadium's owner. Club officials and a promoter have an agreement to hold 19 concerts over the next three years.
The stadium is still in shoddy condition, and after an accelerated renovation to make it ready, one concert is planned there this summer -- an Aug. 28 show by Mumford & Sons -- followed by six in each of the next three summers. - [NY Times]
The NY Times reports that the stadium is still in disrepair but will be ready in time for Mumford & Sons in August. No word on tickets for the Mumford show yet but you can register for their presale now.
In related news, you may remember that Mumford bassist Ted Dwayne had to have emergency surgery to remove a blood clot on his brain which caused them to cancel a few of their dates, including Bonnaroo. But Dwayne is on the mend and the band have announced rescheduled tour dates. Those are listed, along with an old Forest Hills Stadium flyer, below.

Mumford and Sons at Terminal 5 in 2010 (more by David Andrako)
First, Bonnaroo was plagued with the cancellation of Earl Sweatshirt, and now one of the festival's headliners, Mumford & Sons, have dropped off too. They posted the following to their Facebook:
Dear friends,The surgery was to remove a blood clot that was on the surface of his brain. Yikes. Glad to hear he's doing well post-surgery. Their spot on the lineup will now be filled by everyone's favorite festival act, Jack Johnson!
It is with great joy that we can announce that Ted has been discharged from hospital and is on the road to a full recovery. The surgery went well, and the excellent medical team helping him are very pleased with his progress. He has been nothing short of heroic in how he has handled the whole ordeal, and now it has been medically proved that he does indeed have a brain.
Today, however, also marks the end of our Summer Stampede Tour. We were hoping to have made it out by Bonnaroo this weekend. But it is with sadness that we have to announce the cancellation of our scheduled performances at both Bonnaroo and Telluride Festivals, and our show at Cricket Wireless Amphitheater in Bonner Springs, KS. If we could've we would've, you know that about us. We trust that you can respect our collective desire to encourage Ted to make a full recovery, and that this is based purely on the medical advice we have received.
On behalf of Ted, and all of us really, we would like to thank every one for their compassion and support at this time and we are very excited to get back out on tour as soon as we can.
Ted, Ben, Marcus and Win
If you're staying home this weekend, the Bonnaroo live stream starts today (6/14).

Damon Albarn & Noel Gallagher patch things up at last night's BRIT Awards (where Mumford and Adele won big)
Hell hath frozen over:
It was the bitter Britpop feud of the nineties - Oasis and Blur at each other's throats in the charts and out on the tiles.Good to see they've made up. Maybe Liam still holds a grudge? You can relive the legendary Britpop beef via video clips below.
Both rugged bands would threaten each other and the rivalry dominated both bands chart success, with record companies pandering to the division of teenage fans.
But despite Albarn, 44, saying in 2007 making up with Noel, 45, would be the end of Britpop the pair were happy to give each other a mellow squeeze at the BRIT Awards last night (2/20).
It seems Albarn had forgotten Noel Gallagher's famous wish he 'would 'get AIDS and die' and his own 2007 pledge: 'I can't make it up with Noel. Britpop would be over and heaven forbid that we'd ever admit we'd all grown up!' -[Daily Mail]
As for the BRIT Awards themselves, Mumford & Sons were named best British group; Coldplay was named best British live act; and Adele went home with Best British Single for "Skyfall." Full list of BRIT winners is here.
Blur will play their first North American shows in ages at Coachella 2013.

Big day for award nominations. The Oscars announced theirs this morning and the Brit Awards just wrapped up their ceremony for 2013 nominations, with Emeli Sandé grabbing four and Mumford & Sons and Alt-J each getting three. All three of those artists were nominated for British Album of the Year, a list that also included Paloma Faith and Plan B. If you don't know, The Brits are basically the UK's equivalent of the Grammys, though nominees are all British apart from a few "International" awards.
Jessie Ware, Muse, and Adele each got two nominations, and single-digit noms went to Bat for Lashes, The xx, Richard Hawley and The Vaccines.
Mumford & Sons have two nights at Barclays Center in February and Alt-J will swing though town in March.
The entire 2013 Brit Awards nominees list is below.

More of the big 2012 year-end lists have been rolling in, with NPR and SPIN recently revealing theirs, and now Rolling Stone have unleashed theirs. Similarly to Uncut, the expected albums from older artists are there, including Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, Dr. John, and the number one slot going to Bruuuuuuuuuuuce. It's got huge albums like Mumford and Sons, Taylor Swift, and fun., as well as the token high ranking indie album (Japandroids at #9), the token washed up band who was once classic (Green Day), things you knew you'd see on Rolling Stone's list like Jack White and Alabama Shakes, and...

Mumford and Sons at Terminal 5 in 2010 (more by David Andrako)
As mentioned, Mumford and Sons are going on a big tour which brings them to Barclays Center on February 6. That show went on sale today at 10 AM and sold out, but have just added a second show at the Brooklyn arena happening on February 12. Tickets for that show go on sale today (11/9) at 11 AM.
Updated dates (including second shows added in Camden, NJ and Fairfax, VA too) are listed below...

Mumford & Sons announce big shows (including Barclays Center), made a video with Idris Elba (Stringer Bell)
Mumford & Sons being a "big" band is not really news (in fact only Taylor Swift had a bigger debut sales week this year), so it should not be a surprise that the band, who played SNL in October, just announced headlining dates that include TD Garden in Boston, Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Patriot Center in VA, and Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden. Not counting pre-sales, tickets for all four of those East Coast February 2013 shows go on sale Friday, 11//9, at 10am.
Meanwhile the band plays two big shows in LA next week (one with Dirty Projectors, one with Dawes). All dates are listed, along with the band's new video for "Lover Of The Light" starring (and co-directed by) Idris Elba, below...

Led Zeppelin at MoMA - 10/9/12
Speaking of Led Zeppelin, they (Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and the late John Bonham's son, Jason) were also in NYC yesterday (10/9) for a press conference at MoMA, hours before their new film, Celebration Day, made its world premiere in Manhattan's Ziegfeld Theater. Rolling Stone was at the press conference and noted that Robert Plant seemed pretty uncomfortable for much of it (most likely due to dreaded questions of another reunion):
Minutes later, a radio host praised the film but added, "I don't know if it's going to quench the thirst of those who wished to see you in the flesh." Again, the band was silent until Plant said simply: "Sorry!"Regarding his interest in modern bands, Plant also added, "I love Mumford & Sons."
Later, Plant clarified himself. "We were so happy we were getting it right and taking it beyond what we thought we were about that night," he said of the O2 gig. "There were moments where we took off ... But the responsibility of doing that four nights a week for the rest of time is a different thing. We're pretty good at what we do but the tail should never wag the dog, really. If we're capable of doing something, in our own time, that will be what will happen. So any inane questions from people who are from syndicated outlets, you should just really think about what it takes to answer a question like that in one second. We know what we've got, you know."
Page explained he felt the band still had unfinished business after previous reunions at Live Aid and Atlantic Records' 40th Anniversary concert. "I think if we had the opportunity to get back together again, which is what we had there to do the O2, things had left us a little uncomfortable like Live Aid and the Atlantic 40th, etc. We just really wanted to get it right and go out and play to people who maybe never heard us, who had heard about this reputation and what we were about, and basically stand up and be counted for what we were. That's my feeling, anyway."
After the premiere last night, the members of the band made their way over to Monkey Bar for an afterparty. Other guests at the party included Joan Jett, her producer Kenny Laguna, Metallica's Kirk Hammett, rock photographer Ross Halfin, Patty Griffin, and others. Meanwhile, the actual film screening was attended by Kiss's Paul Stanley and RHCP's Chad Smith.
Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience is taking their tour to the NYC area for two shows in November.
A video from the Led Zeppelin press conference is below.

Saved with Sales: $5.90
I didn't really need laundry detergent right now but for $0.99 I figured I'd get it and put it on my stockpile shelf in the basement. Texas Toast are our favorite croutons but it's been a while since I bought them because they haven't been on sale. This is one item I'm kind of a brand snob on. I tried the Aldi brand croutons but we just didn't like them at all. And when these are on sale they are only $0.25 more expensive so I figure it's worth that to us. My hubby is a big hot tea drinker so whenever I can get tea at a decent price I try to stock up. The ice cream wasn't the best price ever—I used to be able to get it for $1.00/box after coupons and sales—but I haven't seen it for less than this in months. And since we were planning to take a meal to our senior pastor and I wanted ice cream I decided to just go ahead and get it. The sugar was just a great price, cheaper than Aldi usually sells it. And the yogurt? Well, it was free after coupons/sales.
- Purex Detergent $2.99
- Huggies Wipes $2.00
- 2 Domino Sugar $2.50
- Texas Toast Croutons $1.25
- Turkey Hill Ice Cream $2.50
- Yoplait Simplait Yogurt $0.50

- $0.50 Turkey Hill coupon from manufacturer (doubled to $1.00)
- $0.30 Yoplait printable coupon (doubled to $0.50)
- $0.50 Celestial Seasoning Tea coupon found in booklet in store (doubled to $1.00)
Aldi: $27.10
Just stocked up on the usual things at Aldi. I was especially happy to get cream cheese for $0.99 and butter for $1.99.
- 3 Black Beans $0.59 each
- 5 Butter Quarters $1.99 each
- 2 Corn Chips $0.99 each
- Onions, 3 lb. 0.99
- 6 Cream Cheese $0.99 each
- Mayo $1.99
- Pure Vanilla $1.99
Dollar Tree: $3.65
I don't very often go to Dollar Tree but I didn't have the children with me and since I needed to get some candle lighters and they have really good candle lighters for just $1, I decided to stop. You definitely can't beat that price! While I was there I picked up a birthday card and also lasagna. I had no idea that they carried Oven Ready Lasagna for $1. That is the kind that I prefer using (saves cooking it!) but it always costs a bit more. Walmart doesn't always carry it and when they do it is priced around $1.78. I prefer whole grain pasta but it is hard to find whole grain lasagna noodles.
By the way, did you know you can now use coupons at Dollar Tree?
- 2 Lighters $1.00 each
- Oven Ready Lasagna $1.00
- Greeting Card $0.50
Misc.: $20.00

HI Lydia,
I just started following you. I haven't done any canning yet but I plan on trying next summer. I made my first batch of homemade jam from frozen berries with no added pectin and it came out great. I recently started couponing and I found a website I love that lists the stores in your area and the deals that can be had using your coupons from smart source, redplum etc. Its grocerysmarts.com- any new couponers trying to keep their budget down will get off to a nice start with this. Hope it helps someone. It has helped me a lot.

I also meant to mention that I am an avid tea drinker myself and I buy it in the bulk section for around $1 an ounce which makes me around 15-18 teabags. I buy the teabags themselves from teavana for $5 for 100 teabags which I then fill with a tsp each. If you use a tea strainer, reusable- then you don't need to purchase the tea bags. You can also add spices like cinnamon, etc to the tea leaves for added flavor depending on what tea and how you like it..

Joni- Thanks for stopping by! I would definitely recommend canning- it's really quite easy (although at times a bit time consuming) once you know what you are doing. Kudos on the homemade jam!
Thanks for sharing that website. I use a couple of websites like that and it definitely helps save me lots of time! And I love your tea idea. My hubby is a tea lover but I never thought of buying in bulk like that. Going to have to check into it.

"In the next five years, this race will change marketing to end-customers more than it has been changed in the preceding 40 years" predicts Key Pousttchi.
According to various sources, Apple plans to introduce a comprehensive m-payment solution with the iPhone 6 and signed respective agreements with Mastercard, VISA and American Express. What is the background and what will be the impact? Five questions to Dr. Key Pousttchi, Head of wi-mobile Research Group at the University of Augsburg.
How will iPay look like?
Pousttchi: Apple will probably support both iBeacons (on Bluetooth basis) and NFC (Near Field Communication). Apple stores in the U.S. already use Bluetooth-only solutions. However, in stationary retail, Apple will not yet be able to bypass existing business processes of brick-and-mortar stores and their payment service providers. Thus, there will be an NFC transaction at the check-out: The customer touches the card terminal with his phone and then confirms the payment on his device, for instance by fingerprint.
Where will Apple m-payments be accepted?
Pousttchi: In theory, anywhere you can already pay with Mastercard, VISA or American Express. In practice, you need to have a card terminal which is enabled for contactless transactions.
What changes for the merchant?
Pousttchi: At first glance, there is no change, it is a regular credit card transaction to him – the phone behaves just like a contactless credit card. As a result, the merchant neither controls whether his customers will be able to pay with the iPhone nor will he get more data than before. In the mid-term, Apple will offer according value-added services to retailers based on iBeacons. We hear the first names of U.S. retailers who might be involved.
Up to now, all m-payment services in Europe and North America failed. How are the prospects of Apple for a market breakthrough?
Pousttchi: As for usability, we might assume that Apple makes no mistakes, especially as they benefit from the situation of being the only player who controls the device, the operating system and the secure element at the same time and need no rotten compromises here. As for the value network, they just rely on the existing credit card ecosystem. Although iOS might have a lot less users than Android, these users represent a very interesting target group for many merchants. It is a niche solution, but a cross-sectional and smooth one – if no real blunders come up, the prospects are very good.
Why is Apple moving in this direction and what will be the impact to the market?
Pousttchi: Short-term, there will be no changes except maybe Apple earning some loose money from transaction fees and some fancy new services in the premises of one retailer or the other.
However, remember that the real game is about customer data – the currency of the future. Real-world payment data is the most interesting single source of information Apple and others do not yet have about its customers.
It all boils down to the race for extending their market power from the virtual to the real world. If you have enough cross-sectional customer data to analyze them with the new Big Data techniques, you can be the first point of contact for your customers for anything they need or want to know – even before they know that they need it. Then, you might serve as an intermediary between the customer and any kind of merchant or service provider.
In the next five years, this race will change marketing to end-customers more than it has been changed in the preceding 40 years. Apple fired the starter's gun, and Google, Facebook, eBay/PayPal and Amazon are ready to participate.
Dr. Key Pousttchi is an Associate Professor at the Business School, University of Augsburg. As an m-business pioneer, he founded the wi-mobile Research Group in 2001 and is active in research and practice of mobile financial services for more than 12 years now. Among other activities, he developed the Mobile Payment Reference Model and headed the National Roundtable of German Mobile Operators and Banks as well as the Canadian Roundtable and Think Tank on Mobile Payment and Banking. His new book "Megatrend Mobile – how smart phones will really change our world" will be published in 2015.

Please refresh my memory
I remember from past attempts that following induction weight loss slows or stops few a bit. Can anyone tell me how long that bit of time usually lasts?
I'm 4 weeks in now and the scale hasn't moved in quite awhile. I am on levaquin and I am experiencing some fluid retention in my hands so I'm fairly certain that may have something to do with it.
I just need a little reassurance that the scale will begin moving again. Patience is not my strong suit:)
can you post a menu so we can see what your day is like? that helps to see if the food is unbalanced sometimes to keep the scale from moving.
plus you lost a good bit in 4 weeks. 15 lbs is great!! your body has to catch up with this loss and will slow. but check your inches. did you take measurements. are the pants getting loose?
stick with the plan and that weight loss will start again. are you in OWL now?
I think you'll have to ask your body about that one! Everyone's ability to retain water is really really different. However, on low carb, it is typical to lose 1lb fat per week after the first few weeks (during when you might lose more per week given the amount of fat you start with). Additional weight is typically water. Your body doesn't want to lose water, or fat. So it takes some convincing. Some people lose it much more readily, especially if they have not done low carb before and their body does not know what hit it. Drink lots of water :)
My calories and ratios are good. I am tracking them and using the same "formula" as last time. I guess I'm just trying to recall how long the "catch up" lasts. I remember the 3rd week was always minimal loss. I guess time will tell:dunno:
Break out your tape measure -- it'll be more useful. And use the cm side, as when the units are smaller, you can detect changes more easily.
Yes, it obviously I'm getting smaller. Less back fat:hyst: which makes me very happy:jumpjoy: pants are fitting better too. I'm just a slave to the scale

Suntech sees solar industry back in black
Apr 05 2012, 14:12 | By Reuters
Shengrong Shi, Suntech\'s chairman and managing director.
Image: SME Mentor
BOAO, China (Reuters) - China's Suntech Power Holdings Co Ltd said on Tuesday that it expects to return to profit, along with the entire industry, in the fourth quarter as prices stabilise on tighter inventories and improving demand.
Suntech forecast its sales in the United States to grow a strong 40 percent this year, expecting little impact from a preliminary U.S. ruling on countervailing duties of less than 5 percent and possible higher anti-dumping duties later this year.
The world's largest photovoltaic solar module maker would be able to skirt around the U.S. duties by shipping its products from other manufacturing bases outside of China, Chairman and Chief Executive Zhengrong Shi told Reuters in an interview.
"It'll be tough for the industry to return to profit in the first half because of falling prices and margins, while operational costs haven't been dropping fast enough," said Shi, known in the solar industry as China's sun king, during the 2012 Boao Forum for Asia in Hainan.
Global solar companies, such as Suntech, First Solar Inc
Suntech's New York-listed shares have risen by a third since the beginning of the year, although industry difficulties had caused its stock to plummet more than 70 percent in 2011.

I've got 2 Hitachi ones and they're ace! Hitachi ED-A101 and Hitachi CPA-300N
the 300N is ridiculously bright because it was going in our media suite so you might be better off with the A101
Dear everyone,
I'm looking for some advice about replacing two projectors. One of the issues that the teacher has raised with the existing projector fitting (conventional fitting on the ceiling about 12 feet from the Smartboard) is that when the children in the classroom above rush in the ceiling sways, putting the projector out.
Can anyone suggest a reasonably good quality, reasonably cheap short-throw projector? They need to work with a Smartboard but otherwise I can't think of any criteria that might affect purchase. Let me know if you can.
If anyone also has any suggestions on a standard ceiling-mount projector - something reliable and reasonably good quality - that would also be much appreciated.
In terms of budget - money is very tight. The less I can spend the better.

I'm in the process of having 34....YES, 34!....installed in my college.
These are Hitachis' to go with the smartboards we're having fitted.
The model number is ED-A220N, and they are pretty decent bits of kit, from what I've seen so far.

We are now fitting the Hitachi EDA-220NM as standard they are simply awesome ultra short throw, not cheap however.
Usually get the A101 (think thats the number), find them great and image brightness/quality seems to last OK...plus it has now got a big filter and at least shuts down when its blocked rather than just keeping going and overheating!
I've gone for the Epsons, forgotten the model number. They're pretty sweet...
Oh and i had a Sanyo installed as a trial....awful!
Yes i would recomend either the Hitachi but the 101 is now finished but you may find some old stock, or the Epson X9 5 year cover including lamp.

The EDA 220 is the current Hitachi ultra short throw offering, decent unit. I believe the current Epson offering is the EB455 (or it could be 460) again a good unit and both should come with bracket included. The Epson X9 that Marc mentioned is a standard throw unit (way to read the post).
Does it have to be an ultra short throw as there are a number of short throw units that could be wall mounted which should eliminate the wobbling issue, and would be cheaper than the ultra short throws.
Ha ha brilliant! Apologies Marc it seems I didnt read it properly!!!!
Yeah the X9 is a decent standard unitor you could look at something like the Sanyo XE2200 fairly standard but decent price.
Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. The head has now decided there isn't the money for short-throw, so I've got to find two cheapish projectors and fit them before the end of the week.
Go me!
again, vote for the hitachi ed 220. just superb. done 3 over the summer.
Gotta say....
Now they are all in, and the tutors are back, they seem to love them. They really are very very good.
Had bright sunshine in a classroom, whilst testing, and they performed exceptionally well.
Money well spent for our college.
Has anyone used the Hitachi CP A222 Ultra Short Throw projectors? What are they like ??

There's still time to join D.C.-to-Pittsburgh bike ride
Work is progressing on the last gap in the Great Allegheny Passage. Linda Boxx, president of the Allegheny Trail Alliance, said precast concrete panels for the wall being built at the Keystone Metals site were to arrive this week. June, and the celebration of the completion of the final mile, will be here before we know it. Ms. Boxx said there are still openings for the "Passage to Pittsburgh" rides from Washington, D.C., to Point State Park from June 8-15 and the shorter ride from Cumberland, Md., to the Point, June 12-15. For details, pedal your browser here.
One more nagging reminder: the outbound Squirrel Hill Tunnel closes from 11 p.m. Friday to 6 a.m. Monday, and if you go anywhere near it, expect to spend a good bit of your beautiful spring weekend gazing at red taillights.
Sign inspections will cause lane closures on the outbound Parkway East from Churchill to Monroeville-Plum from 6 a.m. to noon Saturday.
Pavement inspection will begin Sunday night on Route 22 between the Tonidale Road-Montour Church Road-Steubenville Pike interchange and the Washington County line. This will be a slow-moving operation that will cause loan closures in either direction starting at 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday nights through late April. Work ends by 6 a.m. daily.
Scott Road will be closed at the intersection of Montour Run Road in Moon, cutting off access to Casteel Drive and causing possible 15-minute stoppages on the Montour Trail from 5 p.m. today through 6 a.m. Monday and again during the same hours the following weekend. Watch for flaggers if you're on the trail.
Inspection of the Tarentum Bridge will cause alternating one-way traffic at times from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays starting Monday and continuing into early May.
Inspection of bridges and signs will cause occasional lane closures on the Parkway West this weekend: outbound from Green Tree to Rosslyn Farms from 7 a.m. to noon Saturday and inbound from Interstate 79 to Carnegie from 7 a.m. to noon Sunday.
The inbound Fort Pitt Tunnel will have single-lane traffic after 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, while crews wash it. Work ends by 5 a.m. daily. Coupled with the full overnight closures of the Liberty Tunnels, this could complicate late-night travels.
The Mount Washington Transit Tunnel will be closed to buses from about 5 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday during rail work, Port Authority announced. Light Rail Transit service will be single-tracked between South Hills Junction and the Panhandle Bridge. Outbound riders at South Hills Junction and Station Square will board from the inbound platforms. These bus routes will detour on inbound trips via Warrington and Arlington avenues and via the Wabash Tunnel and Warrington Avenue on outbound trips: 40 Mount Washington, 41 Bower Hill, 44 Knoxville, Y46 Elizabeth Flyer and Y49 Prospect Flyer.
Bridge inspection will cause lane closures on Interstate 79 in both directions north of Bridgeville (Exit 54) from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday.

Organizational Learning and Performance
Special announcement
OLP 6890 Special Topics in Evaluation and Transfer of Learning is offered in Grand Rapids spring 2015. This course substitutes for EMR 6420 Program Evaluation.
Students work together as a professional consulting team to design and complete an actual evaluation of a learning intervention conducted at a "client" organization. Students use their learning from the course textbook readings, case studies, class discussions and previous courses to inform their theoretical and practical approach to conducting the evaluation. This is a group project and relies heavily on positive teamwork skills, as do virtually all workplace organizational learning and performance projects.
Team roles and responsibilities for the project are based on individual competencies, preferences and the demands of the project. For example, some students may be very good at data analysis, while others may be more adept at report writing. Still others may excel at group facilitation. Consequently, there will be group decisions about roles and processes for completing the project. The instructor's role is learning facilitator and a blend of subject matter expert and coach. Students primarily function as a self-directed team to complete the evaluation. Contact Buzas if you have questions.

Why organizational learning and performance at Western Michigan University

- We prepare graduates with the concepts, methods and tools that will allow them to play leadership roles in the design and delivery of efforts such as culture change, transformational leadership and talent development.

Salaries for organizational learning and performance graduates
The learning and development profession provides for a progression in responsibility and pay from entry-level specialist to manager, director and the executive level. Salaries have remained stable through rough economic times.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A 48-year-old woman from Inver Grove Heights is in a Duluth hospital after being thrown from her snowmobile on Sunday in northern Minnesota, authorities say.
The St. Louis County Sheriff's Office responded to a report of a snowmobile accident at about 10:30 a.m. Sunday on the Voyageur Snowmobile Trail, which is several miles east of Crane Lake. When authorities arrived, they discovered that a woman was traveling westbound on the trail when she lost control of her snowmobile, was thrown from it and hit a tree.
The woman was airlifted from the scene and taken to a Duluth hospital. Authorities said there have been no other updates on her condition, and what caused her to crash is still under investigation.

While I was browsing workshops to attend when I make my pilgrimage to the Tucson Jewelry Show this February, I came across this description of Cold Enameling vs. Hot enameling - as if there was a comparison- I was amazed how far another professional artist can take the term "glass like" to compare glue to vitreous enamel and call it enameling just to promote a workshop - I think we all need to call out Susan Lenart Kazmer and educate her on the Art of Enameling and its history. Glue is glue - and should remain so!

Here it is - The new "Cold Enamel" made in Germany - Buyer beware!
I translated the copy from the German-
Design material with many advantages HyCeram hybrid ceramic is a new material that combines the benefits of high-quality ceramics and modern, 3D-crosslinked polymers. Through a sophisticated manufacturing process micro ceramics, polymers and pigments are chemically bonded. Together they form a new group of materials with best features - the hybrid ceramic. The striking functional and optical property profile of HyCeram: · Bubble-free, homogeneous surfaces · Tough, scratch resistant and resistant surfaces · Thermal resistance (up to 200 ° C) · High color stability · Opaque, Perl and Stone Effect · Chemical bond to (precious) metal · UV stable · Biocompatible and hypoallergenic · Can be sterilized · Pleasant haptics
I just came across an article in the German Goldschmiede Zeitung 'GZ'. There a new Hybrid Ceramic is announced. This seems to be a candidate to watch as this material potentially might be labeled as enamel. It's not yet done in the article but I thought it might be good to know what is out there.
Here is a link to the webpage of the manufacturer http://www.ebcasting.ch. Unfortunately the webpage is in German or French only. However the pictures kind of speak for themselves.
Greetings Gisela
Not to play the devils advocate, but the term "cold enamel" has been around for many years. I think the problem is SLK is using it to profit from her resin company.For transparency reasons I will let you all know I have know SLK for about 8 yrs, was on her design team for three years and use to be her assistant and general operations manager. I am not associated with her in any way, shape or form at this moment.
Anyone who knows jewelry making knows that cold enamel isn't REALLY enamel. It is colored resin used to MIMIC vitreous enamels. I think we've all seen this on cheap costume jewelry. I found this book from the 70's on the topic on Amazon-http://www.amazon.com/Painting-cold-enamel-Alb-Fromenteau/dp/087749...
In the UK you can buy "Cold Enamel" jewelry making kits http://www.cooksongold.com/Enamelling/-Range=Cold_Enamel_Kits/-Type...
I agree with you that she is using it to promote her own business and sales, no doubt. I also understand how you felt when you read the reply, the PR response laughable at best.
The only thing you can do is educate the public about what true enameling is.
Thanks, Trish for the information. Mary Rose
Thank you Lauretta for your comments - Sad but true - "A rose by any other name is still a Rose" a glue by any other name is still a GLUE!!
A friend of mine has taken several classes from Susan Lenart Kasmer and has now taught hundreds of resin classes herself. She respects Susan's artistic creativity but had this to say about Susan's use of the term "cold enameling":
"Why must it be called anything other than resin? That's what it is. There is no difficulty level of learning, it is a product that has been used for years and years in many businesses and products, and the definition resin is exactly what it is, a plastic covering. I mean they can call it preserving or doming or whatever, but it is NOT enamelling, and it is not anything but plastic pouring with a low need for instruction!! One cannot become an expert at it. It's how you USE the finished piece that makes it part of mixed media."
( see my Blog up above for reference)
to my letter.....
A Major Lack of creative thinking during product development leaves them sellling out the word "enameling" to sell the product!
In order for this company to promote their product line and increase their profit margin without guilt, they need us to believe its really out of respect for the art of enameling.
Remember what she said " our new "COLD ENAMELING" program will help crafters and mixed media artists to fully understand the dedication and commitment that goes into the Art of Enameling."
Smooth talkers: Public Relations People- they will say anything and hope you believe them.
Unfortunately this term "cold enameling" use also Cooksongold-
Glass like??? - THIS??? - http://www.iceresin.com/contact-ice-resin/ice-resin-msds/
My friend - chemical enginner told me that the worst chemical of this type is resin made from 2 parts and when mixed looks like "glass" resin.
Flash Point: 485 °F (PMCC) (251´C) - Autoignition temperature: > 300 °C - smokers jewellery:)
Is it not glue,this is poison!
