What's going on Monday? (Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks, Eternal Summers, Beverly, Man Forever, Elliott Sharp, Local H, more)
Eternal Summers at MHOW in 2013 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight's shows, but here are some highlights...
Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks, Dustin Wong @ Bowery Ballroom
Animal Collective members are taking some time off from their main band this year. Panda Bear has a new solo album on the way and Avey Tare is currently joined by ex-Dirty Projector Angel Deradoorian and ex-Ponytail member Jeremy Hyman in his new band Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks. Their tour with another former Ponytail member, Dustin Wong, hits Bowery Ballroom for a sold-out show tonight.
Eternal Summers, Sapphire Mansions, Beverly @ Cake Shop
Eternal Summers deliver more of their promising indie pop on their new Doug Gillard-produced album, The Drop Beneath. They came to town over the weekend for a Brooklyn Night Bazaar show, and now they're hanging around for something much smaller at Cake Shop. Also of note is that this will be the second full-band show for Beverly, who up to this point had just been the duo of Drew Citron and Frankie Rose (Frankie's no longer in the line-up). The C-86-inspired, organ-driven Sapphire Mansions are worth catching too.
Man Forever, So Percussion, Tigue @ Le Poisson Rouge
There will be some good percussionists of the indie/contemporary classical world at LPR tonight with Oneida drummer John Colpitts' (aka Kid Millions) Man Forever project, modern percussion ensemble (and Dan Deacon collaborators) So Percussion, and percussive trio Tigue (featuring members of Jherek Bischoff collaborators Contemporaneous Ensemble and Damon Albarn collaborators Ensemble Signal).
Chicago Underground Duo, Ryan Sawyer/Adam Schatz duo @ Baby's All Right
It's a night of experimental duos at Baby's All Right with the Northern Spy-signed Chicago Underground Duo (aka Rob Mazurek and Marc Ribot collaborator Chad Taylor), and a local duo set from Thurston Moore collaborator Ryan Sawyer and the prolific Adam Schatz (Landlady, Man Man, etc).
Elliott Sharp, Steve Buscemi @ Issue Project Room
As part of the William S Burroughs Centenary Celebration, Elliott Sharp and Steve Buscemi will put on a collaborative performance, creating "a collage of sound and words integrating texts by William S. Burroughs with Elliott Sharp's vast soundworlds."
Local H, Crook and Pony @ Mercury Lounge
'90s alt-rockers Local H still continue to tour, and tonight they're back in NYC to take over Mercury Lounge.
Holly Golightly, Party Lights @ Mercury Lounge
Once a member of Billy Childish's band Thee Headcoatees, Holly Golightly has been solo for nearly 20 years. She just released her new album All Her Fault, which is another fine slice of raw rockabilly garage. Tonight's her second of two NYC shows on this tour.
Taking Back Sunday, The Used, Tonight Alive, Sleepwave @ Best Buy Theater
Taking Back Sunday have been back with the lineup who made Tell All Your Friends for a few years now, and just released their second album since reuniting (and third overall by this lineup). The new stuff may lack the fire that made TAYF so great, but at least tonight's another chance to see the old favorites by the lineup who recorded them. This is their last of three sold out shows at Best Buy Theater on this tour.
Ronald Reagan, Greg Fox, Star Rover, Larkin Grimm, Benjamin Lazar Davis @ Manhattan Inn
Star Rover continue their residency at Manhattan Inn with some excellent experimental music coming from Greg Fox (Guardian Alien, ex-Liturgy, etc) and Swans/Martin Bisi associate Larkin Grimm. Lineup also includes Benjamin Lazar Davis of Cuddle Magic and "Boston's Premier 80's Pop Saxophone Duo," Ronald Reagan.
Night Train w/ Wyatt Cenac @ Littlefield
Wyatt Cenac's weekly Night Train comedy show continues tonight with comedic guests Big Jay Oakerson, Dan Soder, Matt Koff, musical guest KING'S, and more.

Luke Temple released new LP (streams), doing guest-filled NYC "improvisational" residency in December & other dates
While he's spent the last few years concentrating on Here We Go Magic, Luke Temple recently returned to solo mode with Good Mood Fool which was released a couple weeks ago via Secretly Canadian. On it, he bathes in warm funk and gentle reggae, giving things an enjoyably mellow vibe. You can check out the video for "Florida" and a couple other tracks below, and the whole record can be heard via Spotify.
Temple is currently finishing up a short East Coast tour with his band that includes Eliot Krimsky (Glass Ghost, Here We Go Magic), Mike Johnson (Dirty Projectors) and Brian Betancourt (Hospitality). He'll then head to Europe but on his return he's doing a December residency at Union Pool, playing the first three Tuesdays of the month. He's gathered some pretty impressive talent to open on the nights:
DECEMBER 3 (tickets)As a unifying theme, all of the sets during the residency will be improvised.
MEMS (5) - (Ofir Ganon and Greg Sarnier of Deerhoof)
CHRIS BEAR (of Grizzly Bear)
DECEMBER 10 (tickets)
SAM OWENS (of Celestial Shore)
STEVE MARION (of Delicate Steve)
DECEMBER 17 (tickets)
ADAM SCHATZ (of Man Man, Landlady, etc)
JEREMY GUSTIN AND INDIGO STREET (of Delicate Steve)
RYAN SEATON (of Callers)

Elliott Smith tribute @ Glasslands in pro-shot video (watch) --- Cole Smith & Sky Ferreira, Speedy Ortiz, Low Anthem & more
Cat Power / Sky Ferreira at Elliott Smith tribute (more by Amanda Hatfield)
As you may have heard, on the tenth anniversary of Elliott Smith's death (10/21), a tribute show went down at Glasslands in Brooklyn with a number of musicians, including Cat Power, Zachary Cole Smith (DIIV), Sky Ferreira, Yoni Wolf (Why?), The Low Anthem, Luke Temple, Marissa Nadler, Aaron Pfenning, Sadie Dupuis (Speedy Ortiz), and more. We already posted pictures, the setlist, and a fan video from the show, and now there's professional video of the show, courtesy of The Bomber Jacket (one of the show presenters). They're planning on releasing the audio from the show as well ("hopefully by Christmas"), and all proceeds from that release will benefit the Elliott Smith Memorial Fund.
Meanwhile you can watch those videos below...

Cat Power / Cole & Sky
[Sadie] Dupuis delivered the night's heaviest alt-rock blast, leading a Nirvana-like performance of "Abused" by dialing up the track's soft-loud-soft dynamics. [Marissa] Nadler offered a mesmerizing lullaby with the gentle strums of "Pitseleh." [Yoni] Wolf played three tracks solo on piano, including "Angeles" and "Say Yes," adding his own spin lyrically and musically, something a "chord guy" like Smith would appreciate, Wolf joked.On the tenth anniversary of Elliott Smith's death (10/21), a number of musicians gathered at Brooklyn venue Glasslands for a tribute show. The night's cast included Cat Power, Zachary Cole Smith (DIIV), Sky Ferreira, Yoni Wolf (Why?), The Low Anthem, Luke Temple, Marissa Nadler, Aaron Pfenning, Sadie Dupuis (Speedy Ortiz), Adam Schatz, The Perennials and Tereu Tereu. Pictures of the show, a partial setlist, and a video of Sky Ferreira joining Cat Power for "Pretty (Ugly Before)" are in this post.
Cat Power soon walked onstage and raised a glass from behind the piano -- "cheers to Elliott," she said. She played a solo version of her own tune, the haunting "Names," from 2003's You Are Free, before her band joined for a jazz/R&B-flecked "Between the Bars," which hit with extra punch due to Marshall's own history of alcohol abuse and mental illness.
She handed out knit caps, like those Smith so often wore (Marshall sported a yellow-gold beanie over her bleached blonde hair all night), and closed with From a Basement on the Hill's "Pretty (Ugly Before)." Ferreira joined Marshall onstage, and the two traded verses and invited the crowd to join -- "Fucking sing it if you know it!" shouted Marshall -- on the repeated outro: "I was so ugly before didn't know what to do." The jam-packed audience inside the DIY venue all sang in hushed tones together, in unison. [Rolling Stone]
For Cat Power, this show was ahead of her upcoming solo tour which brings her back to NYC for two shows on November 14 at Brooklyn Masonic Temple (early and late). The early show is sold out but tickets for the late show are still available.
Sadie Dupuis played this just after her band Speedy Ortiz wrapped up a number of CMJ shows, including our Friday party. Speedy Ortiz returns to NYC tonight (10/23) at The Flat for a Mishka show with J Mascis (of Dinosaur Jr). It's an afterparty for the debut of Mishka's new Dinosaur Jr line, which happens at their store (and J will be there doing an in-store signing).

What's going on Monday? (Fiona Apple, Eliott Smith tribute, Foxygen, A Great Big Pile of Leaves & more)
Fiona Apple at Terminal 5 in 2012 (more by Caroline Harrison)
Browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight's shows. Here are some highlights...
Fiona Apple, Blake Mills @ Beacon Theatre
Fiona Apple and Blake Mills are doing two nights of "Anything We Want" at Beacon Theatre this week. What exactly does that mean? Back in July they said, "We know it'll be something special, and we aren't being coy here -- it's just that we have about 26% of an idea of what the fuck we will be playing for you" and that "the uncertainty excites us." They've probably figured out more of the set by now.
Elliott Smith tribute w/ Cat Power, Zachary Cole Smith (DIIV), Sky Ferreira, Yoni Wolf (of Why?), The Low Anthem, Luke Temple, Marissa Nadler, Aaron Pfenning, Sadie Dupuis (Speedy Ortiz), Adam Schatz, The Perennials, Tereu Tereu @ Glasslands
This stacked lineup for a tribute to the late, great songwritier Elliot Smith includes Cat Power, Cole of DIIV, Sadie of Speedy Ortiz, Marissa Nadler, Sky Ferreira, and many more.
Foxygen, Ben Chatrer, Jungle Green @ Bowery Ballroom
Foxygen's Jonathan Rado was just in NYC playing a bunch of CMJ shows, and now the whole band is here for a 2-night stand of their '60s-style baroque/psych pop and Jim Morrison-style stage antics.
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, A Great Big Pile Of Leaves, Great Caesar @ Webster Hall
A Great Big Pile of Leaves released one of the more fun, somewhat mathy, somewhat emo, rock albums of the summer with You're Always On My Mind, out now on Topshelf. Their sound should go great with the sunny vibes of the equally long-named Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin.
Kid Congo Powers & The Pink Monkey Birds @ Mercury Lounge
Legendary guitarist/singer Kid Congo (The Gun Club, The Cramps, The Bad Seeds) and his garage rock band The Pink Monkeybirds are on the road, and after having played Secret Project Robot in Brooklyn last night, they hang around NYC for tonight's show at Mercury Lounge.
Fletcher C. Johnson, JP5, Pity Party, The Goddamn Rattlesnake @ Death By Audio
It's a night of different lo-fi styles at Death by Audio, with guitar pop songwriter Fletcher C. Johnson (who recently opened for Parquet Courts and Guards), ex-The Measure [sa] pop punks Pity Party, bluegrass collective Goddamn Rattlesnake, and rock n' rollers JP5.
Man Man, Xenia Rubinos @ Music Hall of Williamsburg
Weirdo rockers Man Man are back with their new On Oni Pond LP, and this week their tour in support of it hits NYC for two shows with arty local songwriter Xenia Rubinos.
The Stargazer Lilies, Dead Leaf Echo, The Veldt, Acres @ Paper Box
Melt away at this record release show for NYC dream pop band The Stargazer Lilies that also features fellow effects pedal lovers Dead Leaf Echo and The Veldt.
'Two Boys' (Nico Muhly) @ Metropolitan Opera
As described by the Met, Nico Muhly's acclaimed new opera explores "identity and desire in the shadowy world of the Internet as a detective investigates the stabbing of one teenage boy by another -- and discovers a tangled web of online intrigue." Tickets are still available.
Night Train w/ Wyatt Cenac @ Littlefield
Wyatt Cenac does his weekly Night Train comedy show at Littlefield with guests Found Footage Festival, Marcus Monroe, Carla Rhodes, Ted Travelstead, Jena Friedman, and more.

Forgetters at Knitting Factory in 2010 (more by Andrew St. Clair)
As mentioned, Brooklyn's Brain Cave Festival is returning this year and it begins TONIGHT (4/11), continuing through Sunday (4/14). Most shows happen at Europa, and there's also a free day show on Saturday at the Greenpointers.com Market. When we first posted the lineup, there was a "Surprise Special Guest TBA" listed for Saturday's show, and we've since learned that it's Forgetters, the currently project of Jawbreaker/Jets to Brazil frontman Blake Schwarzenbach, who released their self titled album in late 2012.
The Forgetters show is with Monogold, Clouder, and Quiet Loudly. Other bands playing other days of the festival include Peelander-Z, The Suzan, Eula, Cat Martino, Lemonade, and more. Tickets for individual nights and 4-day passes are still available. Updated lineup below.
Forgetters are also playing a Record Store Day (4/20) in-store at Generation Records with Swearin' (who have other local shows with Shellshag coming up), Doug Gillard (Guided by Voices, Nada Surf), and Livids (whose lineup includes New Bomb Turks singer Eric Davidson, and who just opened for The Hives). Blake Schwarzenbach will be DJing, along with Tom Scharpling and others.
Meanwhile, in other Brain Cave Festival related news, Lemonade have been added as an opener to the previously discussed John Talabot tour, including his NYC show on May 28 at Music Hall of Williamsburg with FIXED DJs JDH & Dave P. Tickets for that show are still available.
Meanwhile, catch Lemonade's True Panther labelmates Delorean in NYC TONIGHT (4/11) at 285 Kent. Tickets for tonight's show are still available.

Elsewhere in Brooklyn, Titus Andronicus are playing a record release show at Shea Stadium (sold out) which should be a sweaty good time.
If you want to watch the final Presidential debate perhaps you'd like to do so in the presence of professional comedians who may or may not be funnier than the people you'd be watching it with at your apartment. You can do this at Gotham Comedy Club where they've brought in professional riff-man Frank Conniff (aka "TV's Frank" from MST3K), Sandra Bernhard, W. Kamau Bell and more.

CMJ is officially over, but if you've still got any energy left, there are tons of good shows today. A handful of bigger bands are making their way through town like Divine Fits (who play with Cold Cave), The Darkness, Justice and Chromeo (DJ), WHY?, Psychedelic Furs and Lemonheads feat. Juliana Hatfield, The Sea and Cake, and A-Trak (who plays with Flosstradamus like he did in Brooklyn last night).
Plus, a bunch of the artists who were here for CMJ are sticking around. Most notably, there's the Wild Nothing, Merchandise, and Mac DeMarco show, but other good ones include Austin's Ringo Deathstarr, local faves Parquet Courts, Juan Wauters (of The Beets), and Son of Salami at Shea Stadium, and if you're up early, the free day party at 285 Kent with Hilly Eye, Blanche Blanche Blanche, Ava Luna, and more should be a great time.
We threw a few events during CMJ, including day parties at Public Assembly on Friday and Saturday. One of the highlights of those parties was London post-punk newcomers Savages tearing up the front room on Friday, followed by an unrelenting set by Toronto punks METZ. If you missed it, you can check out videos of both bands from that party below, via (((unartig))).

We just recorded and mixed 13 songs with Shane Stoneback, studio magic man who recorded the most recent Sleigh Bells, Cults & Fucked Up albums."

Mary Halvorson (photo by Peter Gannushkin)
Mary Halvorson's sound is a hyena, sharp and active. Historically, the classic jazz guitar tone and reputation is closer to a basset hound. 9 out of 10 dentists prefer the one who's out for blood. Standing out from the pack, Halvorson's strings cut with beauty and precision. Her melodies are hooky and complex at the same time, no small feat, and her talent for improvising with her hand picked ensemble is one to be seen to be believed. There is a fluidness to her style, and it is all in the art of juxtaposition. She is jagged but defined, aggressive but beautiful.
On Thursday, January 13th, she's performing at Littlefield in Brooklyn in a collaborative trio with improvisers Weasel Walter on the drums and Peter Evans on the trumpet. This double whammy show pairs Halvorson's crew with Mostly Other People Do The Killing, an gloriously titled high energy group (sharing Evans on the trumpet and Talibam!'s Kevin Shea on drums), smashing jazz aesthetics with subtle and not so subtle humor and phenomenal talent. Don't miss it.
The Littlefield show is a record release party for the trio's new record, Electric Fruit, out January 25th via Thirsty Ear. It will be Mary's first release in 2011. She lists nine that came out in 2010. Those include the notable Mary Halvorson Quintet album, Saturn Sings, which was released via Firehouse 12.
Mary can also be found tonight, January 12th, playing with Marc Ribot at Le Poisson Rouge. A video and all of her tour dates can be found below...

Tide tables and solunar tables for sport fishers in Sharpness Dock. Find out the forecast for high tides and low tides before setting out to fish, and other fishing-related data such as the lunar phase, tidal coefficient, sun and moon rising and setting times, hours of maximum fish activity, weather conditions in Sharpness Dock ...
We want you to enjoy to the max a well-planned fishing expedition! Good luck!
Tides4fishing allows you to make tide predictions for Sharpness Dock years in advance. Please note that the data are approximations only valid for fishing and so IS NOT VALID FOR NAVIGATION.
Today Sunday, 21th of September of 2014, the sun rose in Sharpness Dock at 6:55 h and sunset will be at 19:11 h. The moon rose in the east (75º) at 4:00 h and will set in the west (282º) at 17:51 h.
In the high tide and low tide chart, we can see that the first low tide was at 3:25 h and the next low tide will be at 15:35 h. The first high tide was at 6:50 h and the next high tide will be at 19:10 h.
The lunar phase is a Waning Crescent. Today we have 12 hours and 16 minutes of sun. The solar transit is at 13:03 h and the length of time the moon will be visible will be 13 hours and 51 minutes.
The tidal coefficient today is 73, a high value and therefore the range of tides and currents will also be high. At noon the tidal coefficient increases to 77 to end the day with a tidal coefficient of 80. The tide heights today are 2.6 m, 6.6 m, 2.7 m and 6.9 m. We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for Sharpness Dock which is of 8.7 m and a minimum height of 0.3 m.
The solunar fishing calendar in Sharpness Dock tells us that today is a good day for fishing, the fish activity forecast is high. Please, read more about solunar tables. The best times of day for fishing are:
Tide timetable for Sharpness Dock. The times are generated in local time in England and the daylight saving time change is calculated automatically, so you don't need to add or subtract anything. You will also have the lunar phase, sunrise and sunset times, the tidal coefficient and the average fish activity forecast for each day according to the solunar tables:
[ 0 low activity ] , [ average activity ] , [ high activity ] , [ very high activity ]
NOTE: The times reflected in the tide table for Sharpness Dock are tide forecasts only valid as references for sport fishing. They shouldn't be used as a guide for navigation. The heights are expressed in meters referenced to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW).
MLLW is the average of the lower low water height of each tidal day observed over the official time segment over which tide observations are taken and reduced to obtain mean value (Tidal Datum Epoch).

Verbatim: Anthony Hargrove agent speaks
Source: NFC South Blog - Jun 17, 2012 at 3:18 PM
The full statement of agent Phil Williams, who represents former New Orleans Saints defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove. The NFL has suspended Hargrove eight games for his role in the bounty case. Questions for the League Office in Regards to "Bountygate:" Why is the NFL acting in a way that, to many of us, appears to be so "cloak and dagger"? Even though the CBA gave you the right to wait until Friday afternoon to hand over "evidence", was it really necessary to do so?

Houshmandzadeh To Debut in Purple Against Jets
As mentioned by editor Conoon Kim, the Ravens have acquired receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh on Monday. This is exciting news for Baltimore Ravens fans. Houshmandzadeh will join the field with WR Anquan Boldin, WR Derrick Mason, TE Todd Heap and RB Ray Rice. Don't forget the team drafted rookie TE Ed Dickson and Dennis Pitta. That's a lot of weapons for QB Joe Flacco, who's going into just his third season.
Ready for Monday Night Football
"Yeah, T.J will definitely be ready to go by Week 1. He'll be in here [Monday night], physical [Tuesday] morning, and he'll start working on the playbook [Tuesday]. He's been in the system before, and that's a plus." -Head Coach John Harbaugh
Next Monday night the Ravens go to the Meadowlands to face the N.Y. Jets, who have a strong secondary. The Jets finally came to a contract agreement with their star CB Darrelle Revis, who held out of training camp and preseason. Revis is considered to be the top cornerback in the league. The Jets also have Pro Bowl CB Antonio Cromartie and rookie CB Kyle Wilson, a top prospect. Then there's FS Brodney Pool teaming up with SS Jim Leonard, a proven play-maker. This should be a great match-up between the Jets secondary and the Ravens wide receivers.
Though the Ravens traded WR Mark Clayton, who was a class act in Baltimore, Houshmandzadeh replaces him to boost the Ravens offense. GM Ozzie Newsome on Housmandzadeh:
"He's another proven weapon for our offense — a big receiver with good hands and toughness. The one other thing that every coach and player we talked with about him indicated is that T.J. is a driven player with an excellent work ethic."

By Tayleigh Davis - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - The owners of a new restaurant at Southwest Georgia Regional Airport are in a dispute over operating hours with the airport authority.
Cross Landing Eatery and Bar owners Trudy and Ricky Cross want to stay open until midnight on Saturdays. Right now, they have to close by 5:00 p.m. after the last flight that lands.
Tuesday night, the Airport Authority discussed allowing the change if the owners pay for required airport security guards, but they made no decision.
"They had already decided what they wanted to do and they basically told us this is it and nobody motioned anything to changed. Nobody said we'll get back to you later and they didn't offer any options to be fair,' said restaurant owner, Trudy Cross.
The owners say they can't afford to pay for the security guards. Airport leaders say they can't pay to keep the terminal open just for the restaurant.

Chain-pulling keeps peopel engaged. As others have noted, any time that you paused for longer than a few seconds is another opportunity for someone to stand up, announce an AFK, and put the game on hold (if it's a potentially significant person, such as a tank or integral CC).
The goal is to avoid as much down time as possible. The waiting game is tedious and annoying. I can't tell you how often I've sat there between pulls, twiddling my fingers, wondering why the hell we're waiting and not doing what I came there to do: down bosses and have fun.
Furthermore, I enjoy the challenge of chain-puilling. I currently raid as both a Beast Mastery hunter and healing hybrid priest and I enjoy having to have traps ready (if we're down CC that night) before the main tank pulls or having to practice being a mana efficient healer to manage the quick pulls. It's fun. It keeps the raid on its toes and it makes for more valuable time that could be better spent on boss attempts and hopefully a raid first! I raid for those moments, not sitting on the sidelines and wondering why we haven't done a pull in the last two minutes.
Also, waiting until all mana bars are full? Most trash pulls pre-Black Temple don't require that much preparation in my experience. I hesitate to mention it, but if you're running out of mana during trash pulls there may be an issue there. Either some of your healers are not playing a mana efficient game (which does happen; Flash Healing priests during trash fights are my bane as a healing leader) or you're shouldering more of the burden that you should. One single healer isn't usually going to make much of a difference in most trash fights. Having full mana bars are a luxery but not a requirement. As a druid, you probably have a significant amount of Spirit on your gear and have a OO5SR mana regen; take fifteen seconds or so to regen some of that valuable mana.
Though I readily admit there are pulls where you want everyone thinking and ready.

beautiful British sofas and beds
An easy guide to choosing (and measuring) sofas
and chairs, the doors they go through
and the rooms they go in.
Choosing your sofa
Choosing the most appropriate sofas and chairs
for your home is an important decision, and it should not be
complicated, but there are a few suggestions we can offer that
might help to make the process a little easier. Here at Sofas &
Stuff, we can help ensure your selection is exactly what you want
and that you are happy with your choice in the long term.
We make a special effort at Sofas & Stuff
to give as much support as possible at the early selection stage,
supplying free fabric swatches to help you find the exact match of
fabric for the sofa style of your choice.
Our user friendly website also enables you to
try different styles and fabrics online, and to check dimensions to
ensure they can go through doors and fit comfortably in rooms.
Sizing and proportion
We offer sofas and beds in a range of sizes,
from large sofas, king size beds to 'snugglers' and single beds, so
there is something for everyone and for every size of room.
Combining a mixture of different styles of sofas, chairs and beds
may also offer a solution where space is at a premium.
Full dimensions are given for all sofas, chairs
and beds. Allow for the space taken up by the recline of sofas
(i.e. the area taken up by the angled upper back) when calculating
space requirements. It may be helpful to plot out a grid square
plan of your room on paper or use objects, tape, newspapers or
cardboard cutouts so you can explore options that will allow
adequate space for both furniture, tables, leg room, traffic areas
and clearance from heaters and fires.
Obviously larger sofas are suitable for bigger
spaces, but there are also matters of proportion to be considered,
such as the height and depth of sofas and chairs - higher backed
chairs, for example, look better in high ceilinged rooms; sofas
with a lower profile can help make rooms look more spacious.
Choose up to 8 fabrics and we will pop free samples in the post to you
Choose your swatches
Sink into our sofas, lay on our beds,
climb all over our tables and chairs.

and a very warm welcome.

Labour market situation
Here's our take on the New Zealand labour market as of February 2014, some of the trends, and what's likely to happen in the coming year.
Key trends
The economy moved from strength to strength in 2013 and 2014 is expected to be similarly positive.
Key trends influencing employment opportunties:
- Business confidence is increasing and with it employers' hiring intentions.
- The major metropolitan regions have experienced the greatest economic growth – led by Auckland and Canterbury.
- The Canterbury rebuild is picking up and with it demand for people working in construction and associated industries.
- The agriculture sector is recovering well from the drought that afflicted much of the country in 2013.
- Unemployment is lower in most South Island regions than it is in the North Island.
- Demand for people who do highly skilled jobs (managers and other professionals) is strong and increasing.
- For lower-skilled workers, most job growth is predicted in food processing, retailing, accommodation, agriculture and construction.
Employment up, unemployment down as labour market continues to improve
The improving economy is now being reflected in employment growth. According to Statistics New Zealand's Household Labour Force Survey:
- the number of people employed in New Zealand increased by 24,000 (1.1%) in the quarter ending December 31, 2013
- the number of people employed rose by 66,000 (3%) in the year.
Growing optimism that the economy is on the right track is reflected in employers hiring intentions for the year ahead. According to the Hudson Survey of Employers' Hiring Expectations, about a third of employers expect to take on new staff in the next year.
Unemployment falls to lowest point since 2009
The unemployment rate fell to a three-year low in the December quarter:
- Unemployment fell from 6.2% to 6% – its lowest point since June 2009
- Over the year to December, the number of people unemployed decreased by 14,000, or 8.9%.
Unemployment lowest in South Island regions
The regions with the lowest unemployment rates were all in the South Island:
- Canterbury (3.4%)
- Tasman/Nelson/Marlborough/West Coast (4.2%)
- Otago (4.2%).
The regions with the highest unemployment rates were:
- Bay of Plenty (9.3%)
- Northland (9%).
Canterbury rebuild lifting employment
Of the 19,000 jobs created in Canterbury in 2013, most of them were in two industry groups:
- Retail trade and accomodation and food services, which created 7,600 new jobs.
- Construction, which created 7,400 new jobs.
The Canterbury rebuild (following the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes) is continuing to gather pace as more work moves from design and planning stages to construction.
The rebuild will likely be a major influence on national employment figures until at least 2018.
Immigration New Zealand's Canterbury skill shortage list highlights occupations in shortage that are needed during the rebuild of Canterbury.
Mixed fortunes across industries
Some industries are performing better than others and this is reflected in job opportunities.
According to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment's Quarterly Labour Market Report, February 2014, the industries that showed strongest employment growth over the year were:
- Professional, scientific, technical, administrative and support industries (up 26,400, or 10.9%)
- Retail trade and accommodation (up 20,700, or 6.0%)
- Health care and social assistance (up 16,600, or 7.1%)
- Construction (up 14,800, or 8.6%)
- Manufacturing (up 14,300, or 6.0%).
The industries that saw the greatest declines in employment were:
- Public administration and safety (down 6,200, or 5%)
- Wholesale trade (down 4,100, or about 4.3%).
Auckland and Canterbury leading the way
Auckland and Canterbury continue to lead the way in employment growth. In the year to December 2013:
- employment in Auckland was up 48,000, or 6.7%, with growth led by professional, scientific, technical, administration and support services (up 20,900) and retail trade and accommodation (up 14,200).
- employment in Canterbury was up 19,200, or 5.9%, with growth led by retail trade and accommodation (up 7,600) and construction (up 7,400).
Unemployment in Auckland and Canterbury also fell in the quarter:
- falling from 6.7% to 6.3% in Auckland
- going from 4.2% to 3.4% in Canterbury.

SELLERSBURG, Ind. (WDRB) -- Indiana State Police officers are making plans for a memorial service for their K-9 named Kilo, who was killed during a standoff this week in Sellersburg.Their supporters are also asking for your financial help -- and not just to pay for a funeral.A spokesman says state tax dollars don't cover all the costs of a state police K-9, hence the plea for help from the Indiana State Police Alliance.
Kilo served the state police for six-and-a-half years out of the Sellersburg post, until he was shot and killed during a standoff in Sellersburg on Monday.
Kilo had entered a house with three SWAT officers when a man barricaded inside shot and killed the dog and shot and wounded another officer outside, police said.Kilo's picture and a request for donations greet customers in the front window of a convenience store -- and in dozens of other places.
"They say that it's a shame that it got killed and everything, and that they're really hard to replace. And they'd be glad to give money," said Hesen's Food Mart clerk Arville Rudolph.Danita Hurst was more than happy to tape the flyer at the dry cleaners where she works.The story of the German Shepherd resonates with almost everyone."Basically, I cried. It was very, very sad. Even the police officer being shot, it was sad," Hurst said.Dale Collier posted a tribute to Collier and injured Clark Co. sheriff's officer Chris Proctor on the message sign outside his Complete Auto Repair. He recalled seeing Trooper Nathan Abbott and Kilo pass the business on Charlestown Road, about a quarter-mile from the state police post.
"Boy was he a handsome dog. It's an amazingly good looking dog," Collier said. "They have a lot of money invested in these dogs. It's expensive to get them trained, keep them up."It's easy to find such signs of support throughout Sellersburg. State police have now set a memorial service for Kilo for early next month, after the July 4th holiday. Details should be announced next week.The Indiana State Police Alliance, a non-profit group that's not a part of state government, is asking for donations.That's because your state tax dollars don't cover the costs of a state police K-9, spokesman Sgt. Noel Houze said. The department does want to replace Kilo, even as other police dogs are available on-call."The Indiana State Police relies on funding for our K-9 program strictly through grants and donations and that type of funding. None of the funding in the years we've had K-9s has come from tax dollars," Houze told WDRB News.
Full funding could come in future state police budgets, Houze said.Several national organizations say it can cost $10,000 or more for a police dog, before recurring costs of food, shelter and trips to the vet.
Friday night, there was no word on how much the alliance raised so far. The word was still getting out via flyers and other publicity online.

Auto Sales Surprise; Should You Be Buying?
John is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The recent retail sales report showed a surprise gain in motor vehicle sales. Sales jumped 1% in the month of April after a 0.6% decline in March. Overall retail sales also surprised to the upside.
Based on the increase in motor vehicle sales and low oil prices, investors may see this as a good time to invest in auto manufacturers. However, there are several factors indicating that auto manufacturers may not be the ideal place to invest your money.
Uncle Ben
There is no doubt that Ben Bernanke's decision to maintain interest rates at historically low levels has helped bolster auto sales. The ultra-low Fed Funds rate has led to cheaper automotive loans for buyers looking to upgrade their automobiles. The website Bankrate.com reports that the average rate for a 60-month auto loan is just 3%.
Ultra-low interest rates, like all good things, must come to an end. While there is no clear time frame in place, given the recent run-up in the stock market, rates could begin to rise in the near future. Depending on how quickly a rate hike is executed, a subsequent rise in auto-loan rates could put a strain on new-vehicle sales.
Europe remains in the midst of a terrible recession, and automobile sales have suffered dramatically. New vehicle registrations for the month of March were down 10.2% year-over-year, and represented the 18th consecutive month of declines.
Ford's (NYSE: F) sales slipped 15.8% for the month of March, and General Motors (NYSE: GM) saw an equally ugly decline of 12.6%. Auto-parts manufacturer Delphi Automotive (NYSE: DLPH) is also feeling stress from Europe, with first-quarter 2013 revenue decreasing by 17% from the prior year. Even European heavyweight Volkswagen saw its revenue drop 9% for the month of March.
The European recession shows no signs of improving in the near term. Unemployment remains at staggering and historically high levels, and a cohesive plan for the European Union still does not exist. Until the EU can find a way to improve the economy, the continent will continue to be a drag for auto manufacturers.
European Response
The issues in Europe clearly pose significant threats to the financial strength of Ford and GM. As such, the company's have created detailed response plans to address the needs of their European segments.
Ford is planning to bring an unprecedented 15 new global vehicles to Europe over the next five years in order to deliver a model lineup that is among the region's freshest to drive revenue. The company is also seeking to strengthen its brand image in Europe by emphasizing class-leading quality, fuel efficiency, safety, and value.
Ford is also driving cost efficiencies in Europe by closing three facilities and reducing vehicle assembly capacity in the region by 18%. Through these actions, the company plans to be profitable in Europe by mid-decade.
GM is also looking to cut costs in Europe, and recently sold its transmission operation in France and closed a production facility in Germany. The company hired a top executive from Volkswagen to serve as president of GM Europe starting March 1.
GM also plans to launch no less than 23 new Opel/Vauxhall vehicles between 2012 and 2016. The first two of the new vehicles were in segments GM did not previously compete in, and the company has seen strong demand for those vehicles. GM states that through these measures, it hopes to achieve break-even EBIT results by mid-decade.
While Delphi doesn't have a clearly articulated European plan like Ford and GM, the company's results in the region will likely be closely tied to the success of these companies. GM and Ford represented 24% of the company's sales in 2012. Compounding the matter, Volkswagen and Daimler represent another 18% of 2012 sales.
Domestic auto manufacturers appear fully valued if not slightly overvalued.
Ford currently trades at a P/E of 9.6, well above its five-year average P/E of approximately 6.6. Despite the problems in Europe, Ford has seen strong growth in US sales. As of April 30, US sales were up 12.7%.
General Motors is trading at a P/E of 10.8 versus its five-year average P/E of 9.3. The company also has an unimpressive start to 2013. Revenue dropped approximately 2.4% from the same quarter last year and EBIT dropped by 18.2%.
Delphi is trading at a P/E of about 14.4 versus its five-year average of 9.2. The company also had a rough first quarter with revenue dropping by 6%, adjusted EBITDA dropping by approximately 3.8%, and EBITDA margins were compressed by 0.3%.
While investors can make the case that the higher P/E ratios reflect the strengthening US economy as well as the increasing strength of the US auto industry, the P/E's appear fully valued.
While the April retail sales report showed a nice surprise for motor vehicle sales, US automobile manufactures do not appear to be good investments at these price levels. The pending rise in interest rates will have an impact on sales as credit becomes more expensive.
Historically, Europe has represented a significant portion of sales for these companies, and the continent shows no signs of improving in the near term. While GM and Ford have been aggressively cost cutting and launching new vehicles, neither company plans for financial success in the near future. Mid-decade profitability could just as well turn to late-decade profitability. Valuations seem to fully price in any upside potential with little concern for future headwinds. At these levels, there are better investments to be found.

The Houston Texans released safety Danieal Manning after the two sides could not reach an agreement on the pay cut the team requested.
Manning was scheduled to make $4.5 million in base salary in 2014.
"I'm dealing with it great," Manning said in an interview with FOX 26 Sports.
"Both parties agreed to disagree. It's nothing personal. I'm really not upset at all."
Manning was willing to take a pay cut, but he had his limits.
"To be honest I'm actually kind of happy," Manning said. "We all came to an agreement.
"There's no bad blood."
Manning left the Texans with a message for their fans.
"I would like to thank them for all of their support," Manning said. These fans embraced me. They made me feel at home every time"
"Those guys will be missed. I wish I could bring them with me where ever I go."

In the debate about the impact of drugs on health care costs, most people focus on the end of the spectrum that hits closer to home: rising drug prices. But we must also think of where it all begins, and of the hundreds of millions that are wasted on scientific research that is unreliable.
The National Institutes of Health invests $31 billion a year in medical research, a significant portion of which goes to funding preclinical studies at academic centers across the nation. That work is supposed to be the cornerstone of drug discovery, since it is used by biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies to design the drugs of the future.
