Gisele Bundchen was one of Victoria's Secret Angels from 2000 until 2006. Since 2004, she has been the highest-paid model in the world and the sixteenth richest woman in the entertainment industry.

Technical Complexity Factors
Technical Complexity Factors are used in the Use Case Metrics estimation technique. You can add or modify these factors using the Estimation Factors dialog.
To open this dialog, select the Settings | Estimation Factors menu option. Click on the Technical Complexity Factors tab.
Defined Technical Types
This editable list should contain all factors that could affect the technical complexity of the project environment.
These configured factors, whose summed Ex Values yield the Unadjusted TCF value, work together with the Environment Complexity Factors to skew the overall complexity up or down, depending on the level of technical complexity and the corresponding level of environmental support.
You can transport the Technical Complexity Factors between models, using the Export Reference Data and Import Reference Data options on the Tools menu.
The TCF Weight indicates how much technical complexity you assign to a factor. For example, 'the system is to be developed in ADA' might warrant a higher weight than 'the system is to be a shell script'. A weight evaluates its respective factor, but is irrelevant to a project; the Value field assesses each factor's role within a project. The supplied factors and their associated weights are defined by the Use Case Points Method, although they can be adjusted to suit a project's specific requirements.
For most purposes, the only table column requiring adjustment is Value, which indicates the degree of influence a particular factor has on the project. As a suggested gauge, a value of 0 indicates no influence, 3 indicates average influence and 5 indicates strong influence.

Just as an long term update, the ETX12B has been absolutely fantastic and OEM reliable. I've been running it for nearly a year now, with over 8000 miles. From being 1000+ miles from home, going through a hurricane, to 20deg mountain tops, heated grips blasting. This little guy has never even thought about letting me down. Heck, the bike after sitting for 2 months cranked right up in 25deg weather! Anyways, the DIY thread I made for it on the S1000rr forum has gotten praise and 3000+views, so expect sales to increase if they havent already, from the S1000rr community. http://www.s1000rrforum.com/forum/s1000rr-hp4-do-yourself/71842-earthx-1-3lb-lithium-battery-install-review.html
Thanks from Voya!

Who Do New Zealanders Trust?
Uniforms - renowned for making women weak-kneed - seem to have another effect on New Zealanders - instilling trust. Results from a survey by the Reader's Digest released today on New Zealanders' most trusted brands, institutions and professions saw the top five places go to those who dress in the line of duty.
Our most trusted professionals are pilots according to the 2,300 people surveyed. Nurses came in at number two followed by pharmacists, with the police and the armed forces taking out the fourth and fifth spots.
Politicians were a resounding last in the list of 23 professions and institutions - an overwhelming third of all respondents had no trust at all in our country's lawmakers. Making up the top five least trusted professions were car salesmen, marketers, journalists and psychologists.
Interestingly more people trust plumbers (eighth) and builders (ninth) than they do the church (12th). And more people trust auto-mechanics (13th) than social workers (18th).
Twenty-five product categories were included in the survey, ranging in goods from cold/flu remedy and vitamin supplements to banks and telecommunications providers. Respondents nominated their most trusted brand in each product category, with no prompting.
Air New Zealand was voted most trusted airline and also received the most votes over all making it New Zealand's most trusted brand.
Reports outlining full
survey results will be published in the December issue of
Reader's Digest.

text: 2011: Jega should watch his back – Prof Oyebode Oct 31, 2010 By Hugo Odiogor Prof. Akin Oyebode, a lecturer of International Law and Jurisprudence at the University of Lagos, is a renowned academic and former Vice Chancellor of the University of Ado-Ekiti. He was the legal adviser to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) between 1991 to 1992 when Professor Attahiru Jega, presently Chairman of the Independent National Commission (INEC), led the union. In this interview with Vanguard's Hugo Odiogor, Oyebode spoke on the character of the INEC chairman, the enormity of the challenges facing him and the infantile state of the Nigerian nation after 50 years of self rule. Excerpts: A lot of Nigerians have invested hope and confidence on Professor Attahiru Jega led INEC to conduct a free, fair and credible election for Nigeria. As someone who knows and has worked closely with Jega are these expectations not way off the mark? Well, I can only go by people's antecedents. Yes I worked closely with Jega in 1990 and 1991 when he was the then president of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), I was the legal adviser of the negotiation team. I know that he exuded confidence, he was a Senior Lecturer then and we were Professors but he was leading the team, he was in charge. I know that he is somebody who refused to be compromised to the extent that he rejected the hotel accommodation offered by government at Eko Hotel. Prof. Oyebode Instead, he preferred to sleep on a mattress in one of the rooms on this campus. He did not want to give the impression that he has been suborned by the powers that were. I know that he had become a Vice Chancellor and had been a functionary of a sort for Obasanjo (Consultant to Iwu's INEC). So a lot of water has passed under the bridge, but despite that, I think he has a lot of personal integrity. But INEC is not a one man band you must look at the Commissioners working with him, somebody like Madam Ayoka of Idi-Osi notoriety. So you have some Commissioners that worked with Professor Maurice Iwu that have been retained, these are people who have nothing to recommend them for that job, so Jega has to watch his back, like I have said once, he has been given a poisoned chalice. Looking at the historical nature of the job it is a daunting task that confronts him. As I said, will is not enough, if you look at the environment around him (the bureaucracy), but knowing Jega, rather than being done-in, he will quit, he has a lot of promise, I believe that President Jonathan has a point to prove to the West not necessarily to you and me, I think he wants to show the Western world that we can do it. That if the Afghans in the middle of a civil war, the Iraqis with bullets flying, not to talk of the Palestinians with occupation in the West Bank and Gaza, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Liberians, the Sierra Leoneans could do it. What is the claim of Nigeria to be the giant of Africa if we cannot organise an authentic voter register which will not have the names of Mandela, Michael Jackson, Clinton or Tyson or whoever? So something went wrong in the last elections without serialised ballot paper on the basis of which the then Hon.Justice Oguntade nullified the election rightly in my view because when you have ballot papers that are not serialised then it is a perfect recipe for rigging and then thumb printing and all these things that made the charades of elections we had in 1999, 2003, and of course the worst election in Christendom in 2007. Nigeria does not have a good reputation in doing things right so that is why I believe that somebody like Jega would want to put a stop to Afro pessimism by saying that this country can get it. We have put a lot of hope and wish in just one name and we pray that he will not betray the trust. If you look at the country generally you will notice that the country is pregnant with change, the masses are yearning for a better life. When Goodluck Jonathan emerged President with the death of President Umaru Yar'Adua on May 5, 2010 there were a lot of hopes that for once we have a leader who had the educational prerequisite. How would you assess his regime so far? With due respect to Dr. Goodluck Jonathan he is an accident of history. Joseph De Milster used to say that people get the government that they deserve and the question you have to ask is whether Dr. Jonathan is the leader that Nigerians deserve. The last 6 months have been more of the same and when he made his declaration he told Nigerians that he has nothing to offer. He committed a faus pax, it was like a statement attributed to him at his debut at the UN when he said that he came with an empty mind when he meant to say that he came with an open mind. I think that Nigeria now is looking for people who will bring a radical turn around in our affairs, a transformational leader in the modes of Nuhu Ribadu, Raji Fashola, Pat Utomi, Adams Oshiomhole and perhaps Abubakar Umar, people whose track record can give us conscience to cheer and confidence to carry Nigeria along the correct political path. I am not sure whether the antecedents of Dr. Goodluck are as such as to give me that hope. And without prejudice, he looks to me like a reasonably pleasant guy, he looks self effacing, he looks a little but too humble. We want a bolder person who can put his hands on the plough and someone who has an idea of where he wants to take Nigeria to, what are his game plans? He must convince people like me that he has an idea of what he wants Nigeria to be. We need a work plan. There should be an immediate plan, a short term plan, medium term and a long term plan. He looks to me like he is politically vacuous and that constitutes part of the problem. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2010/10/2011 ... f-oyebode/

I pulled my groin playing football and could not walk or run without a sharp pain. After 3 appointments, I can play with no pain. My experience was very good. I felt very comfortable and it was very helpful. Yes, I'd recommend it to anyone seeking physical therapy.
Levi A.
With sports come sports injuries. Athletes, in many respects, are at lower risk of injury due to higher strength and being highly active, however given the higher demands they often have minor injuries that are more complex to resolve. Contact or collision sports have higher injury rates, such as soccer, baseball, basketball and football. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or weekend warrior, there's always a chance of incurring a sports injury.
Common Sports Injuries
Patellofemoral Syndrome (PFS)
Sports injuries involving the lower body are often knee injuries. Patellofemoral syndrome is often caused by a slip or fall onto the knees. There's pain, swelling and an imbalance of the knee muscle in its groove. Strengthening exercises and stretching can help the muscles correct themselves. In addition to strengthening exercises, a physical therapist may use bracing techniques or knee taping for this injury.
A blow to the head can cause a concussion. It's a serious injury and should not be taken lightly. Symptoms include headache, dizziness, confusion, vomiting and slurred speech. Any athlete who incurs a concussion should have immediate medical attention. Treatment with a physical therapist can help with the headaches and dizziness associated with a concussion.
ACL Tear
The ACL is a major ligament in the knee. ACL strain or tear can be caused when playing sports due to a sudden change in directions or coming to a sudden stop. There's swelling and instability in movement with an ACL tear. Aggressive physical therapy can assist with recovery.
Hip Flexor Strain
The hip flexor muscles are located in the upper, front thigh. Sprinting, running inclines and sudden movement can cause a hip flexor strain. There may be bruising in the thigh area along with inflammation and pain. Stretching and range of motion exercises with a physical therapist assist with recovery.
Shin Splints
With shin splints, there's typically pain in the lower leg bone- the tibia. It's common with runners. Rest and ice can ease the pain, and a good pair of shoes with arch support can help.
Sciatica is back pain that extends to the back of the leg. It's often seen in cyclists and athletes who perform a lot of trunk rotation in swing sports like tennis and golf. The back pain may be caused by a pinched nerve. A physical therapist can help alleviate sciatica symptoms.
Shoulder Injury
Shoulder injuries in sports range from dislocations and misalignments to strains and sprains of shoulder muscles and ligaments. The shoulder is a weak joint and prone to injuries during sports activities. Rest and icing should help with pain and swelling.
Tennis or Golf Elbow
This condition is known as an overuse sports injury. Repetitive actions inflame the forearm and wrist. Icing and rest generally help, but stretching techniques and strengthening exercises with a physical therapist help even more.
Groin Pull
Also known as groin strain, the groin muscles can get strained with quick side-to-side movements when engaging in sports. Stretching and range of motion exercises can help with recovery.
Hamstring Strain
The hamstring muscle is located in the back thigh. Lack of stretching can cause this muscle to be pulled. If this condition persists more than two weeks, a physical therapist can help with ultrasound treatment to promote healing of the pulled muscle.
Have you incurred a sports injury? Turn to our physical therapists for recovery. Our physical therapists are dedicated to sports medicine and focus rehabilitation based on the performance needs of athletes. They will do a complete evaluation and design a treatment plan targeted to your injury. Get back in the game with the help of our physical therapists. For more information, Contact us at Happy Valley & Sandy, OR centers.

I was lucky to spot some beautiful flora during the short visit to the low altitude mountains (2,000m~3,000m) and cities.
Flowers always bloom wilder in cooler climate.
At the valley city like Pokhara, the climate is suitable for flora and fauna.
Snow capped summit makes a good backdrop for the blooming flowers.
November sky in Nepal never lack of blue (nothing but blue sky).
The temperature during day time is just right for leisure walk.
Colourful blooms could brighten the days for any visitors.
My favourite flora in Nepal is the sakura-like flowering plant (first picture). I do not know the actual name of this plant.
Due to the colder climate, I notice the animal and birds tends to have extra layer of insulating fat.
Cows and pigeons were common sights especially near the proximity of Hindu temples.
We saw more dogs than cats in Nepal.
We saw white monkey and snake during trekking, but no sight of yak. Those who visit Chitwan would have better sighting of wildlife.
I came across this leech-looking worm near Jhinu. I thought there won't be any leeches during winter month, it could be the sign of global warming.

Ken Fields Congratulates Bernie Sanders on His New Hampshire Win
NEW YORK, NY, February 11, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With the New Hampshire primaries officially over and Bernie Sanders winning against Hillary Clinton in what can only be described as a landslide, where the Vermont Senator took in almost 59% of the vote, Independent Presidential Candidate and businessman Ken Fields offers his heart felt congratulations to Sanders.
"I have been a big fan of Sanders for quite some time and even more so recently as I've watched and read about the various goings on along the New Hampshire campaign trail. While the GOP candidates have continued to parade their clown mobile across the State and Trump in particular, his brand of hateful and angry rhetoric, Sanders has proven himself to be a tough fighter, and a true gentleman." Fields highlighted a particular incident where Sanders told some of his more vocal and aggressive supporters, the BernieBro's that he didn't want their "crap" and that they should "be respectful when people disagree with you."
"My mother, who was also a graduate of James Madison High in Brooklyn, taught me to respect other peoples opinions and give them fair say even if we didn't agree with them. I may not necessarily agree with Senator Sanders politics but I agree with his message."
Fields registered as an independent candidate by filing his FEC Form 2 on November 30th 2015 to coincide with the opening of the Paris Climate talks. The purpose of his campaign is to draw attention to and advocate for the US to convert to 100 percent renewable energy in 20 years.
Ken Fields is a businessman, entrepreneur and environmental advocate. He is an independent presidential candidate for 2016.

How to Clean a Crib Mattress
Perhaps you have purchased a used crib mattress from a furniture store or yard sale, or you may have even received a mattress from a relative who no longer needs it. In any instance, before you use the crib mattress you want to clean it to remove any dirt or bacteria, making it safe for your baby. When cleaning, you must also consider the actual cleaning products that you will use, as chemically-based products can actually introduce harmful elements to the mattress.
Vacuum the crib mattress to remove light dust and buildup. Remember to vacuum along the seams where dirt often sticks.
Mix 1 gallon warm water, 1 cup vinegar and 1/4 cup laundry detergent in a cleaning bucket.
Dip a soft brush in the solution, and scrub gently over the crib mattress. Continue until you have cleaned an entire side of the mattress.
Rinse a cleaning rag with warm water only, wring out and wipe over the side of the mattress that you have just cleaned.
Repeat this procedure on the opposite side of the mattress as well as along the side seams.
Sit the crib mattress in direct sunlight, when possible, and allow to fully air dry before using the mattress.
Things You Will Need
- Vacuum cleaner
- Cleaning bucket
- Water
- Vinegar
- Laundry detergent
- Soft brush
- Cleaning rags

The Work of Streams and Stream Gradation
Streams carry out three closely related activities—stream erosion, stream transportation, and stream deposition. Mineral materials, from bedrock or regolith, are removed from the floor and sides of the stream channel by erosion. The particles are suspended in the stream by turbulent water motion or are dissolved and held in solution. The transported particles are finally deposited on the streambed and floodplain, or on the floor of a standing body of water into which the stream empties, where they build up. Erosion, transportation, and deposition are simply three phases of a single activity.
Streams erode in various ways, depending on the nature of the channel materials and the tools with which the current is armed. The flowing water drags on the bed and banks and also forces particles to hit the bed and banks. These actions easily erode alluvial materials, such as gravel, sand, silt, and clay. This form of erosion is called hydraulic action, and it can excavate enormous quantities in a short time when river flow is high. As the banks are undermined, large masses of alluvium slump into the river, where the particles are quickly separated and become part of the stream's load.
Where rock fragments carried by the swift current strike against bedrock channel walls, they knock off chips of rock. The larger, stronger fragments become rounded as they travel. As cobbles and boulders roll over the streambed, they crush and grind the smaller grains, producing a wide assortment of grain sizes. This process of mechanical wear is called abrasion. In bedrock that's too strong to be eroded by simple hydraulic action, abrasion is the main method of erosion. A striking example of abrasion is the erosion of a pothole.
Finally, chemical weathering removes rock from the stream channel. This is called corrosion. We see corrosion in limestone, in particular, which develops cupped and fluted surfaces.
The solid matter carried by a stream is the stream load. Figure 15.8 illustrates how stream load is carried in three ways—dissolved load, suspended load, or bed load. Of the three forms, suspended load is generally the largest. A large river such as the Mississippi, for example, carries as much as 90 percent of its load in suspension.
Stream capacity measures the maximum solid load of debris—including bed load and suspended load—that can be carried by a stream at a given discharge. It's given in units of tons per day passing downstream at a given location.
Stream capacity increases sharply as stream velo city rises. This is because swifter currents are more turbulent, so they can hold more sediment in suspension. The capacity to move bed load also increases with velocity because faster water drags against the bed harder. In fact, the capacity to move bed load increases according to the third to fourth power of the velocity. In other words, if a stream's velocity is doubled in times of flood, its ability to transport bed load will increase from 8 to 16 times. So, most of the conspicuous changes in a stream channel occur in a flood.
When waterflow increases, a stream flowing in a silt, sand, or gravel channel will easily widen and deepen that channel. When the flow slackens, the stream will deposit material in the bed, filling the channel again. If the stream flows in a hard bedrock channel, it won't be able to deepen the channel as quickly in response to rising waters, so it may not change much during a single flood. Such conditions exist in streams in deep canyons with steep gradients.
Most major stream systems have gone through thousands of years of runoff, erosion, and deposition. Over time, the gradients of different parts of the stream adjust so that they just carry the average load of sediment that they receive from slopes and inflowing channels. A stream in this condition is called a graded stream. How does this come about?
Visualize a small stream basin in which runoff and overland flow carry sediment to a stream channel. If more sediment accumulates each year in the stream channel than can be carried away, the surface of the channel will be built up and the slope of the stream will increase. But with increased slope comes increased stream velocity and increased ability to carry sediment. Eventually, the slope will reach a point at which the stream just carries away the sediment that it receives. If sediment flow to the stream is reduced, the stream will gradually erode its channel downward. This will reduce its slope and also reduce its ability to carry sediment until it can only carry the reduced amount it receives from the hillslopes.
Since every stream channel experiences this process, eventually the whole stream will tend toward a state in which the slopes of all its segments form a coordinated network that just carries the sediment load contributed by the drainage basin. A stream in this equilibrium condition is referred to as a graded stream.
Figure 15.10 shows how a graded stream might develop on a landscape that is rapidly uplifted, perhaps by a series of fault steps or blocks, or possibly uncovered after erosion by continental glaciers. The side of the block shows a series of stream profiles—plots of elevation of the stream with distance from the sea. At first, the stream is ungraded, with large fluctuations in the slope profile. As the stream cuts down, steeper areas are eroded more rapidly, smoothing the profile. Soon the stream has a graded profile, and the slope of each part is just sufficient to carry the average annual load of water and sediment produced by its drainage basin.
Figure 15.11 shows how the stream gradation process over a landscape creates a floodplain and alluvial meanders over time. At first, downcutting produces canyons and gorges. With time, the stream becomes graded and begins to build a floodplain. The river moves freely from one side of the valley to the other in alluvial meanders that sweep down the valley. As the floodplain widens, the river attacks and undermines the adjacent valley wall less frequently. Weathering, mass wasting, and overland flow then act to reduce the steepness of the valley-side slopes. Eventually, a landscape of open valleys with soil-covered slopes forms, protected by a dense plant cover. It takes tens of millions of years for a stream to reach a graded condition and erode a broad valley.
In a channel network, the gradient and channel form varies from the smaller, steeper streams at the headwaters of the network to the broad and gently sloping river channels found farther downstream. One way to study how the properties of streams change systematically is to organize them by stream order (Figure 15.12). The smallest tributaries are first-order streams, which receive overland flow from within their first-order basin. When two first-order streams join, the result is a second-order stream and so forth. As you might well imagine, many stream properties are related to stream order, including slope, drainage area, and discharge.

Top Dog's Trace Gives Travel Tips to Prevent Bed Bugs
- When you make your reservation ask the hotel what they do to prevent the spread of bed bugs.
- Inspect your hotel room before you start unpacking.
- Look around the headboard and mattresses for evidence of spotting and/or actual bed bugs.
- Check night table and dresser drawers.
- Bring a large, black plastic bag with you when you travel. When you pack to come home put all of your clothes in this bag inside your suitcase.
- Keep your toiletries in a sealed Ziplock bag when your not using them.
- When you arrive home, leave your suitcase outside. Take out the plastic bag and immediately run your clothes through the dryer.
- Inspect your luggage for any evidence of bed bugs.
- Better yet, let Top Dog inspect your suitcases before you bring them into your house.
For more specific information on how to prevent bringing bed bugs into your home from a trip contact Top Dog Scent Detection at (914) 219-5635.
For more information about preparing your home for bed bug treatment contact Top Dog Scent Detection. One of the main reasons why bed bug treatments fail is improper preparation for treatment.

Bride Rovers GAA Club Notes
30 August, 2016
Bride Rovers GAA Club Notes.
1966 Bride Rovers Team to be Honoured.
Fifty years ago excitement and hurling fever were high in the parish of Rathcormac, Bartlemy and Kildinan. The Bride Rovers Club had been reorganised in the autumn of 1964 and in the first year 'back' the Junior B hurling team reached the East Cork semi final, losing on a scoreline of 5 6 to 3 9 to eventual champions Castlelyons. Twelve months later a win over Dungourney meant the team was back in the semi final once more. Originally this semi final against St. Catherines was planned for late August but circumstances dictated otherwise. The reason for the postponement of the Junior B semi final was the important matter of the All Ireland Hurling Final Cork v Kilkenny. Back in 1954 when Cork won the All Ireland and Christy Ring his eight Senior medal few could have envisaged that a dozen years would elapse before the Red and White of Cork would be worn to victory in Croke Park on the first Sunday in September. In the spring of 1966 when Kilkenny trounced Cork in the National Hurling League Final at Croke park the dream of winning the All Ireland seemed very remote indeed. Yet a few months later those two teams were in the Championship Final. Cork came through a four match Munster campaign, beating Clare in a replay, Limerick and Waterford. Our own Seanie Barry playing in the half forward line was one of the stars of the team. He was also playing Senior Hurling with UCC and of course with his beloved Bride Rovers. So this very week fifty years ago the people of Cork and especially in our parish were full of anticipation and hope for a Cork win. It had been all of twenty years since a Bride Rovers player, Con Murphy, had worn the red of Cork to victory in an All Ireland. That was on Sunday September the 1st 1946 when the Rebels defeated Kilkenny by 7 5 to 3 8, with Con scoring two second half goals. While Kilkenny were the raging hot favourites to beat Cork in the 1966 Final there was optimism in the Bride Rovers Club of a Cork win. The week before the final -half a century ago this very week, at a Club Meeting Treasurer Tommy Barry was told to 'contact a local Pipe band to be ready for the victory celebrations in Rathcormac' -there's confidence for ya! Cork had a great win by 3 9 to 1 10 with Seanie scoring four points.
The Pipe Band was needed and in the early hours of Tuesday morning September the 6th Seanie Barry and the Liam McCarthy Cup came back to Rathcormac in triumph.
Just two weeks after the All Ireland Final the Bride Rovers team won the East Cork semi final. It was seven weeks later- Sunday November the 6th before the final against Youghal was played. Bride Rovers won on a scoreline of 6 12 to 6 3 thus bringing the first junior Championship title to the parish since 1932. The team was captained by Willie Sheehan. To mark the Golden Jubilee of this win a reunion is being held on Friday week September the 9th in The Rathcormac Inn. Three of the panel Tony O Brien, Tony Walsh and Michael Twomey have gone to their eternal reward and they will be fondly remembered on the night. All the surviving members of the panel have been invited to what should be a night of reminiscing and chat. The team selectors in 1966 were the late Dave Hogan, Dinny Howard, Joe Browne and Willie Sheehan, the Captain, and Seanie Barry the Vice Captain.
IT'S DOUGLAS or CIT in CO. SHC.
The draws for the Quarter Finals of the Cork County SHC were made on Sunday night last. We nearly know who we will be meeting as we were drawn against the winners of the last Round 4 game Douglas v Cit which has yet to be played. This tie goes ahead next Saturday evening in Pairc Ui Rinn so by about 7.15 pm (barring a draw!) we should know our opposition.
The full draw is
(A) Erins Own v Blackrock
(B) Midleton v St Finbarr's
(C) Glen Rovers v Bishopstown
(D) CIT/Douglas v Bride Rovers
A v B
C v D
It's a tough draw but then in the last eight of the County there are no easy games. The expectation is that our game will go ahead on Saturday week September the 10th but this will be confirmed later this week. Training goes full speed ahead all this week and early next week in preparation for this important game.
It now seems likely that our JCHC quarter final game against Cobh will go ahead on Sunday week September 11th but time and venue are yet to be confirmed.
The late Paddy Murphy.
The parish was saddened last Saturday when the news came through that Paddy 'Pinchers' Murphy of Glenagowl had passed away. Though in ill-health for some time his death was the cause of widespread regret. Paddy was one of that rare breed of people that can be classed as 'characters' -a person that brightened up so many people's lives. He was witty and outgoing and called a spade a spade. You knew where you stood with Paddy on all matters whether you agreed with him or not. A native of the Millstreet area Paddy came to this area as a child. His upbringing near the Kerry border, which was and is a very strong Gaelic football area, led to his love/hate relationship of Kerry football. He maintained that if Kerry was moved into Connacht or if Cork was in Leinster we'd have won at least twenty five All Ireland senior football titles! He loved going to games all over the country especially with his late great friend Pat O Connell. He was great Bride Rovers man as a member, supporter, Lotto seller and selector. His proudest moment came in 1995 when along with Tom Mulcahy and Eamonn Heskin he was selector on the Rovers Junior B team that won the East Cork Hurling title. He loved ploughing and vintage and modern machinery too and gave great service at local level to the Ploughing association and the Vintage Club. Paddy had a word for everyone and despite his declining health in recent years he kept up his interest in everything going on locally. People like Paddy Murphy brighten our days and make us laugh. He will be missed by many. Paddy, may you rest in peace, you ran the race, you fought the good fight. Our deepest sympathy goes to Maisie, Kevin and Jerry and Paddy's nephews and nieces.
The Jackpot on Tuesday August the 23rd was €3800. The four numbers drawn were 15, 18, 21 and 23 and there was no winner. The winners of €30 each were Kathleen O Driscoll Dublin, Pat Walsh Bartlemy, Tommy O Flynn Rathcormac, Finn O Driscoll Shanowen and Julianne Barry Rathcormac. The Jackpot for Tuesday August the 30th was €4000.
A weekly ticket for the Club Lotto costs just €2 and every ticket sold helps with the day to day running of the Club. Tickets are on sale every day in local business outlets and of course from Club Members. Tickets can also be purchased online at locallotto.ie Your ongoing support for the Lotto is deeply appreciated.
Our Minor Football team are in Rebel Og Championship action away to Killeagh/Itas in the quarter final at 6.45pm. Well done to all our players who were involved with Cork under age squads last weekend.
The Cork senior hurling team of 1966 which won the All Ireland had their reunion gathering in the Imperial Hotel last Friday night. It was a great occasion and Co Board Chairman Gerard Lane made a presentation on behalf of the Board to the players and Denis Hurley, selector.
Best wishes to Castlelyons who play Cloyne in the East Cork JAFC final on Friday night in Killeagh. Also to Ballyhooley who replay their Co JBFC final v Cobh on the same night in Pairc Ui Rinn at 7.30.
FIXTURES. Thurs Sept 1st MFC v Killeagh/Itas, away at 6.45

New research has found older women who received cataract surgery had a lower-risk for overall and cause-specific death.
Researchers at the University of California analysed information collected through the Women's Health Initiative, a clinical and observational study of the Medicare claims database.
Their sample group included 74,044 women over the age of 65 with cataracts, including 41,735 who underwent cataract surgery.
In a study published in JAMA Ophthalmology, the researchers found a 60% reduced risk of death from all causes among the women who received surgery compared to those who did not.
The authors highlighted that it is unclear whether the intervention of cataract surgery can explain the reduced risk of death, and note that it may not be possible to generalise findings from the study to male patients.
"Further study of the interplay of cataract surgery, systemic disease, and disease-related mortality would be informative for improved patient care," they wrote.

Don't Bash the Bishop!By ATWadmin On November 5th, 2006 at 8:15 am
When you have a boss who's as weak as a matchstick suspension bridge, it is important to speak your mind on issues of pressing concern. I have wholeheartedly agreed with the Bishop of Rochester, Dr Michael Nazir-Ali, on a number of occasions and am pleased to do so again. Dr Ali has accused many in the Muslim 'faith' of being hypocrites; promoting a 'dual psychology' of victimhood and domination (a practice, incidentally, mastered by Sinn Fein/IRA). Crucially, Dr Ali has said it will never be possible to satisfy the demands of Muslims because their basic premise was to stifle criticism or action when they are perceived to be victims, but also to press their demands under a cloak of religious rights and entitlements when Islam would be advanced.
How long will we have to wait before the liberal wing of the Anglican faith (and as an life-long Anglican I can tell you there are thousands) begin their character assassination of Dr Ali (by contrast Muslims tend to practice actual assassination, as any friend of Theo Van Gogh will tell you)? Will The Archbishop of Canterbury support the right of one of his bishops to make this entirely reasonable analysis? Or will he take cover in his usual style by prostrating himself before the effective enemies of this country and, moreover, the religion of which he is a part?
Islam is a threat to our country and way of life if it is not kept firmly in-check. Instead of condemning Dr Ali, the people of this country should be applauding him for the astute articulation of some very accurate viewpoints. As for Rowan Williams, a slight alteration to the term 'bishopric' was never more appropriate.

If you recalled my earlier postings, you would notice I have written on similar post previously. Since completion of my first degree, I have always wanted to write Children's books such as "The Legend Spookley, the Square Pumpkin" - educational and edutainment for children. Away from the two boxes, television and computer.
I thought of reading to children in bookshops and libraries, donating books to children in disadvantaged families, helping them to develop their creativity and communication skills besides improving the language itself.
Then you will question, why haven't I come up with my children's books. In fact, my academic book came first.
Not the procrastination. I have lost count. I must have written more than thousands of opening lines, but never quite managed to finish the first chapter before I chucked the whole theme away. Even though writing may not be difficult for me, illustration is a challenging task. In my views, no children's book is complete without proper illustration.
Perhaps, in my revised resolution list, I should consider picking up my creative pen again!

This question, asked on the forum, has got me thinking.
I learned from my grandparents (all were young adults during Depression)how to use up what you had, save for what you needed, and don't fall into the trap of the latest trends.
They raised gardens, sewed & crocheted. My Mom made most of our clothes right up thru High School.
Money was sometimes tight when I was growing up, but I never knew it. We had family, food, clothes, and a roof over our heads.
When I married, had my kids (4 sons in 6 years) I HAD to be frugal. Used cloth diapers, bought clothes at yard sales, made most of my own clothes, raised a garden. Didn't have all those government programs back then and most people wouldn' even think of them anyway. We got by. My boys didn't have a roomful of toys they didn't play with - they were raised on a farm and everyone pitched in and helped. Not alot of $$$ in the bank but we didn't have any debt except for our home. Lots of good memories for me & them. We drove used cars/trucks and still I won't buy a new one. I use coupons, watch for rebates, and shop for holidays & birthdays all year long from clearance sales. Alot of gifts are hand/homemade.
We even had a Pediatrician that was wonderful! My boys would go thru what we called ' the vicious Strep Throat Cycle'. One would get it and within a week or two, ALL would have it. This was twice a year. He would write one prescription, with refills, with a note on dosages for each of them, to cover them all plus charge us for ONE doctor visit. All my boys eventually had their tonsils removed and the cycle stopped.
Now I'm frugal by choice. $$$ in bank and being able to invest are wonderful things.
I've made some bad choices along the way but have learned from them and moved on. Credit Card debt was a BIG mistake aka lesson!
Saving money is like a game now. The Tightwad Gazette has been a blessing! I re-read it cover-to-cover twice a year and reference it often in between. The Internet has also been invaluable in finding information on how to do all kinds of things cheaper and for DYI projects.
I travel, do genealogy research, run my home business, attend church, and have wonderful dear friends! My immediate family lives close by so I spoil my grandkids with love and homemade goodies. I donate to local charities, love to go to yard sales, and continuously look for bargains.
Believe me, my life is rich and full!
Why did I become frugal?
This question, asked on the forum, has got me thinking.

February 1st, 2008 at 04:23 pmSounds like a great life!
February 1st, 2008 at 05:44 pmI enjoyed reading this.
February 1st, 2008 at 07:24 pmIsn't it great to know how to manage money, and not be worried and afraid, when the economy is not good? We know how to live on less, so if we have less, it isn't a huge problem.
Living well, without spending more than we make, saving, and investing are all the rewards of being frugal, or "managing" money.
February 1st, 2008 at 09:41 pmThanks to all of you! Yes it is great not to worry!
One other thing I do is when I think I 'want' something, I write it down and wait. Seems as time goes by, I really didn't 'need' that 'want'. Money saved!
February 1st, 2008 at 11:33 pmI enjoyed reading your blog. I learned to be conservative with my money the hard way. Growing up, I watched my parents mismanage their money and always in financial trouble. They are now retired and still unable to handle their finances. I love my parents with all my heart and I help with money as much as I can. Luckily my husband and I are on board with our financial goals.
Thanks for sharing your story.
February 2nd, 2008 at 02:10 pmWhen I got started on my "frugal journey" the Tightwad Gazette was my Bible. No one has motivated me more than Amy Dacyczyn has, through her books. Dave Ramsey is another whose influence has caused me to look at how using credit cards makes spending much easier.
I, too, re-read the Tightwad Gazette book to stay motivated. Those success stories really keep me on track!
I enjoy your entries.

Following on the release of the Linux 4.15 kernel series, the GNU Linux-libre project announced today the availability of a the GNU Linux-libre 4.15-gnu kernel based on Linux kernel 4.15.
Featuring almost all the goodies of the new Linux 4.15 kernel series, which was announced by Linus Torvalds over the weekend, the GNU Linux-libre 4.15 kernel is now available for those seeking 100% freedom for their open-source operating systems. As usual, this release comes without any proprietary drivers.
The biggest new changes of the GNU Linux-libre 4.15 kernel appears to be the implementation of a new method for building the latest GNU Linux-libre release for Debian– and Red Hat-based operating systems while referring to GNU Linux-libre instead of the upstream kernel.
"This release introduces changes in scripts/package, so that .deb and .rpm scripts built with the scripts in there will refer to GNU Linux-libre rather than upstream. This is in line with our goal of not leading users to non-Free Software," said Alexandre Oliva in the mailing list announcement.
Driver deblobbing in GNU Linux-libre kernel 4.15
Apart from that, the GNU Linux-libre 4.15 kernel deblobbs the drivers for HiDeep touchscreens and Broadcom BCM7XXX-based boards, and cleans up a bunch of other drivers, including the AMDGPU, Intel i915, Adreno, Tegra, Silead DMI, and AtomISP ones. Also, it removes the code to deblob the OSS sound drivers, and the ap1302 driver from staging as they were removed upstream.
The GNU Linux-libre 4.15 kernel is here for those seeking 100% freedom for their personal computers and the open-source operating system they're using. You can download the GNU Linux-libre 4.15 kernel source tarball right now if you want to compile it for your GNU/Linux operating system, and don't hesitate to use this repository if you want free firmware for your hardware.

What makes London so different?
1. The most diverse city on the planet or at least one of the
2. We speak over 300 different languages.
3. A benefit of this diversity is that there is always something good to eat.
4. The food is just ridiculously good. No matter what others say… from markets to restaurants.
5. The tube! We like to whine about it all the time, but it works just fine.
6. You're never far from green. London has more park space than any other major city on earth. Park as 'park', not parking space. Don't start!
7. Other cities would kill to have a haven as beautiful as Dulwich village in the centre of London city.
8. We know how to throw a party.
9. (We just drink through the pain).
10. Seeing people do the 'walk of shame' on your way to work. (Or doing it b4 work)
11. You actually can live in London for years and years and still find something different each day. There is simply so much going on everywhere that it is impossible to know it all, and this about London is what makes it truly mysteriously charming to me. You will never discover it all or know it all; The excitement never ends in the capital, and until I die, I will always be on the hunt for the next amazing discovery here.
12. And contrary to popular belief – they do talk to people, they are friendly, and they will welcome you with open arms.
13. The Queen Nobody messes with Her Majesty. And if they do, we'll 'ave 'em. Or she will.
14. The Underground Where would we be without the Underground? A bus stop, that's where. And nobody wants that if not late at night.
15. It's a beautiful city of endless possibilities, and everyone is welcome.
What would you add?

FREE Hunnime Nudi (Full Moon) Broadcast
"The Sub-conscience has its own language – called problems.
If you become aware about those problems, they disappear.
Problems are just a mind game."
Hunnime Nudi (full moon) Broadcast
Every full moon is a special day for seekers, as the cool beams of the moon have a special effect on the human mind, which is usually dominated by waves of misery, ignorance, attachments, misinterpretation of the false for the real, and ultimately the fear of death. The coolness of the moon's rays carry the words of the Guru.
When one meditates on Hunnime, the vibrations one receives from all the Gurus saves one from the ocean of samsara that is the mind. Every Hunnime, the sounds within the depth of Amma's meditation urge the mind to reach out to that space. Let those vibrations reach the core of your heart, to control the tides of such waves. The global Satsang happens as a broadcast every month, connecting Amma at Sridhara Sri Gudda ashram in Bangalore, India to devotees around the world. To collect the rays, connect.

Quick warning about another set of work at home scams
Getting a load of work at home scams this fine Saturday afternoon. They all say that Google and Facebook have work at home opportunities. But of course there are no work at home positions with Google or Facebook. Instead these lead to a page that says earn $500 a day using Facebook and your computer. OK I think, sounds and looks like a money mule scam or one of these get paid for spamming nonsense links on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, blog comments and forums.
No! it isn't even hardcore criminal activities like those. It is a pure and simple multi level marketing scam where nobody makes any money. Even the website itself says you won't make any money. (My highlighting in the quote)

Freeman Dyson
Freeman Dyson's books and writings span the range from the subatomic to the far reaches of space, time, and mind. English-born American physicist, mathematician, and futurist, he is famous for his work in quantum mechanics and his serious theorizing in futurism and science fiction concepts, including the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. He is the winner of the Templeton Prize for his thoughts on science and religion. He writes: "I do not make any clear distinction between mind and God. God is what mind becomes when it has passed beyond the scale of our comprehension."

Ruairí Deane is a man hell-bent on making up for lost time, that is clear from his off-field actions, particularly in the last number of months, and his performance last Sunday in Ballinacourty, suggests Peter McNamara.
The Bantry Blues man, as people that follow him on Instagram will be aware, has been keeping himself ticking over in the off-season with relentless, though evidently enjoyable, training sessions at Aclaí with former Cork strength and conditioning coach Ainle Ó Cairealláin.
As a character that has suffered more injury setbacks than is fair for any person aspiring to be a top athlete, Deane would be forgiven if he had essentially thrown his hat at attempting to reach his peak at senior inter-county level.
Cork's Ruairí Deane in possession against Waterford last Sunday. Picture: Stephen McCarthy/Sportsfile
However, there he was, against Waterford, showing Ronan McCarthy and his management team, as well as Leesiders present, that he means business in 2018 in terms of proving his worth to the cause.
Deane was earmarked as a potentially brilliant contributor to the squad, for what now seems like many moons ago. Yet, of course, well-documented injuries stunted his progress.
Maybe, from here on, we will begin to see the best of a wonderful talent.
Deane started at wing-forward for McCarthy's outfit as Cork romped to a 17-point triumph over the Déise.
He did not score however, produced a monumental shift defined by an appetite for the hard yards.
Deane's attitude will be an asset to McCarthy this season. He could be one of a number of driving forces behind a new Cork, one in which new leaders will emerge from what is a youthful panel.
Interestingly, McCarthy, while discussing players "getting up to speed", indirectly made reference to the crucial element of wanting "fellas to do the right things when they're on the ball".

Leadership. And a huge factor in that is players making correct decisions in possession.
McCarthy has the playing tools to produce expansive, intelligent football. Personnel such as Luke Connolly, Sean Powter and John O'Rourke, you would expect, will be central to this theme.
In fact, by the end of the season ahead, do not be shocked to see all three of those players nominated for All-Stars, such is their abundant, and in ways, untapped potential, at this grade.
However, it will be the graft of the likes of Deane that should allow that trio, and more, to flourish.
Obviously, Cork will not win the All-Ireland title this year. Dublin, simply, are too good. Yet, this could be one of the most productive seasons for the code in the county for a few years.
Of course, that thesis is not based whatsoever on a January defeat of an undercooked Waterford.
Instead, that belief stems from faith in McCarthy and his management team to utilise the qualities they have at their disposal in an efficient and clever manner.
The days of haphazard, frustrating performances should be a thing of the past.
And with the likes of Michael Shields, a magnificent servant of Cork football, now retired from the highest standard, links to the 2010 All-Ireland-winning unit continue to diminish.
Therefore, doors are opening for other characters to be the ones their teammates look to for inspiration around the dressing room, and on the field itself.
That is a massively positive element for Cork as it means new faces will emerge as leaders of the ship. There will be no hiding place for anybody. There will be no excuse for not expressing their arrays of skills.
Deane, among others such as Mark Collins and Paul Kerrigan, are likely to take on the mantle of squad members leading from within the playing group itself.

What we anticipate will be refreshingly different this year, though, is that the players will be armed with the tactical knowledge required to overcome their opponents.
These should be progressive times for Leeside football. The campaign in front of us may see the development of a force to be feared in the seasons ahead.

At 5.0% abv Lisa is a German style Kolsch with an added twist - fresh fennel and orange zest added late in the boil to introduce subtle liquorice like flavours and a citrus aroma. She was brewed together with and dedicated to our friends Stu and Sam from Yeastie Boys in New Zealand.
Now you are no doubt wondering why anyone would name a beer Lisa? Well, Lisa is Bruce's (our British bulldog) little sister. Since Bruce has a beer named after him (our mid strength British bitter) we thought it only fair to do the same for her. Lisa is also the third beer we have brewed together with New Zealand's Yeastie Boys, the first was Bruce and the second Wendy (Stu's dog, a Kiwi sheep dog). It's now up to Stu to find another dog in order to ensure the tradition can continue.

Bhokta ran a monthly online haiku contest I would enter as often as I could. Here are some of my 2012 entries. One of the themes for December was "Departing" in his honor and the last one herein was written with that in mind.
reds in the viburnum
cardinals await their turn
sunflower feeder
a turtle crawls
across the sky
witch hazel
aconite snowdrops crocus
he plants spinach
hard to imagine
this calm dawn with wren warble
is a dream
drought shriveled tomatoes
promise sweet grapes
orange flickers
on the bottom of grey clouds
a gas well is flared
late season crickets
join the chorus so sweetly
tears well
river bottom mist
newly naked trees don
a coat of ice
as days shorten
the laundry basket
fills faster
tap at the window
a reminder to restock
sunflower feeder
as eyes adjust
to snow blindness
sundogs appear
in his death throes
escaping like a butterfly
from its chrysalis

10 Mistakes That Will Slowly Ruin Your Relationship
Gigi Cummings
December 23rd 2017
If you think that just because you spent two hours getting ready, wearing your nicest little black dress and your most expensive heels, that your date is going to turn directly into romance; then you are wrong. Most women think that a man should fall to his knees just because she looks amazing. But women need to understand that while a man might like to chase, women have a tendency to forget their end of the bargain when it comes to dating. Here are some of the most common mistakes that women make that can make or break a relationship.
Being Idealistic
Most of us grew up with Disney princess stories and fairytale ideas of love. A man will come one day and sweep us off our feet because he knows it true love. But this isn't the reality. If you are too focused on achieving the ideal fairytale relationship, you won't be satisfied with what you actually have.
Succumbing To The Pressure Of Your Biological Clock
There is a very strong instinct that women have to deal with when they reach a certain age in terms of listening to their biological clock. But just because your nature tells you its time to have children doesn't mean you should chase down the next person willing to shack up.
A Foul Mouth
Someone who is constantly using swear words and finds themselves have to censor their conversations more often than not, will realize how that kind of behavior is off putting to most people. A lot of men won't want to spend the time cozying up to a girl who is always cursing.
An Obsessive Health Freak
There are not many things more annoying than someone who is on their high horse about being into health and fitness. Not only do people not want to hear about how many times you went to the gym last week, butt they also don't want your advice about what to eat and how to exercise.
Selfie Obsessed
Once in a while it's fine to tale out your phone and snap a nice photo of yourself. But constantly staring at yourself through the the lens of your phones camera is one of the most annoying things on earth. Try and think about something or someone else for one minute.
Ignoring Your Feminist Duties
Why put up with a man who is going to be constantly putting down your or other women when in the end you know that he is only going to continue being a jerk? Shut down the chauvinistic remarks before they become a trend or watch your relationship crash and burn.
Acting Pricey
Women love to be chased, but they need to be careful that their little cat and mouse game isn't doing more harm than good. Men will chase a girl who knows her worth, but if she acts like she is too high of a price that no one can afford then she might find herself alone at the end of the day.
The Waiting Game
When a guy is head over heels for a girl he isn't going to make her wait around for him. She will become his priority and he will make that known to her in how he includes her in his life. If you can't follow the signs that a guy is putting you on the back burner, then you might find yourself left in the dust.
Excessive Makeup
We all want to feel beautiful and makeup can help us achieve the looks we are going for. But sometimes makeup can really ruin a persons natural beauty and guys can be extremely turned off by the face full of contour and layers and layers of makeup. Embrace your natural beauty, because he likes you just the way you are.
Having The Last Word
One of the most detrimental things that can happen in a relationship is that a couple doesn't understand how to have a productive fight. If the two of you are constantly putting your egos ahead of your relationship then you will see that needing to have your last word might end your relationship altogether.
Dating Some Who Is Clueless
While it might seem like you are in a relationship with someone who is fun to hangout with and keeps life interesting, If they don't have a sturgeon sense of self or purpose then there is no way they can bring something more to the relationship in the end.
Manners Make A Man
Don't put up with some mediocre attempt at chivalry. Being a good man with manners is not something of past fairytales. It is strong and honorable characteristics that show real worth and value. If you honor these in yourself, you won't want to put up with a man who doesn't make them his common lifestyle.
Respect Of All People
A man who feels he is above a particle class of people is not a man that a woman should be investing all of her time and energy in. It shows a lot about a guy character they way he treats other people, especially when he is in a position of power. Paying attention to this can save a lot of heartache.
Downplaying Your Success
As a couple you both should be lifting each other up to your highest potential. If your guy downplays your success as something not as great as what he can achieve, then he doesn't value you as an equal. If your guy doesn't value you as an equal then he is going to not be afraid to hurt you for his own benefit.
Putting Him On A Pedestal
If you put your guy up on a pedestal like he can do no wrong and have no faults, then you are setting yourself up for disappointment when he shows just how human he is. Keep yourself and your heart grounded and set expectations accordingly where you communicate what you want and need and you won't run into problems.

This week's Entertainment Weekly (hey, remember when I used to work there? That was fun) had an interview with the amazingly-talented Florence Welch (love her) called The Soundtrack of My Life.
As I read Mz. Welch's picks for the songs that she carried with her I couldn't help but start making a list of my own. AND, since I'll never be famous, no one will ever interview ME about the soundtrack of my life so I'm forced to interview myself (if you want something done right…)
The first song I was obsessed with:
I come from a very musical family so I was breaking into song from a very young age. The first CD I ever owned, however, was Semisonic's "Feeling Strangely Fine," which showcased their one-hit-wonder single "Closing Time." I was 12 or 13 so the fact that it was about picking up randos at a bar completely went over my head, much like how Eve 6's "Here's To the Night" ode to one night stands completely went over my head a few years later.
The song that reminds me of my first kiss:
I think I've blogged this story before but my first kiss came during a viewing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Again, I was a teenager so I was weirded out of my mind so shortly after "Time Warp" I decided that I had better things to do with my time, lips and tongue. I had braces at the time, I will always hold that girl in my heart for being so charitable.
The song that reminds me of home:
My parents are Golden-Oldie fans so my childhood was a lot of early-era Beatles hits like "Money Can't Buy Me Love" or Simon and Garfunckle tunes. If I had to pick one song, though, I'd probably go with "Henry the XIII" by Herman's Hermans. Everytime I hear it I can see my mom seeing along in the kitchen while she mixes dough of some kind in the same old mixer that still sits in the lazy Susan. If I could pick 2, the second would be Suzie Q by CCR.
The song that reminds me of college:
Since I'm only one year out of college I'm going to answer the song that reminds me of Freshman year. I actually have a whole playlist devoted to my time in the dorms (Shiny Toy Guns, The Academy Is, All-American Rejects) but the one song that really backdrops the memories is "La La Lie" by Jack's Mannequin. I saw him perform that year in the venue and when I play it on the piano the line that says "I've got friends who help me pull through" always brings the Alva Heights gang to mind.
The song that makes me cry:
I don't cry, I may in fact be a robot. "Brick" by Ben Folds is really sad though.
The song that reminds me of my first love:
The entire (500) Days of Summer soundtrack reminds me of Katie but especially the cover of "Here Comes Your Man." We listened to that soundtrack whenever we drove anywhere but would always rock out in the car to HCYM.
The song people might not expect me to love:
"Sex and Candy" by Marcy Playground. That song is freaking awesome. Honorable mentions include "Don't Lie" by the Black Eyed Peas and "Boys in the Hood" by Dynamite Hack.
My favorite song to perform:
I have quite a few that I always go back to (Straylight Run, Keane, the aforementioned Jack's and Folds) but just about every time I sit down at the piano I find myself playing "Boston" by Augustana. It's the perfect combination of a simple but solid piano line and fits pretty well in my range.
The song I wish I had written:
"Someone Like You" by Adele. It has one of the easiest piano parts in the world but it's all you need when you pair it with the perfect voice (her's, not mine). That song is the musical equivalent of the Greek ideal: simplicity, perfection and order.
The song I play when I'm getting ready to go out:
I don't really have any ONE particular song but two come to mind. "Me and Mia" by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists always gets me pumped up and oddly enough, before a date I like to rock out to Julio Iglesias' "Moonlight Lady." That song is a freaking jam.
My karaoke song:
I love karaoke but I haven't had many opportunities to do it because to do kareoke right you have to go to a bar and to go to a bar you have to have friends who drink. Now that I'm back in Utah… My quick answer is "Build Me Up Buttercup" by The Foundations but I've been thinking lately that if I auditioned for The Voice I'd singe "Change Your Mind" by the Killers.
