June art guide to Copenhagen
By Lizete Riņķe
The calendar may show the first month of summer, but its arrival has been quite slow with rather modest temperatures. The positive aspect is, however, that it has prolonged the usually so evanescent moment when the entire city is in bloom. Defying the persistent fierce Scandinavian winds, the sunlight-famished people of Copenhagen rush out of their caves and hurry outdoors to the numerous pavement cafés and the green spots of the city to catch the occasional sunbeams. This pursuit can very suitably be combined with a visit to a gallery or two. Unfortunately, we are also approaching the season when a certain lull afflicts the art scene with few major exhibition openings and the gallery summer exhibitions that often are 'The Best Of' group presentations of the gallery artists. Nevertheless, here are a few suggestions of what to see in Copenhagen in June.
Ai Weiwei 'Raptures'
Faurschou Foundation
Through December 22, 2015

At the moment, it can be quite a challenge to locate the Faurschou Foundation at the windy Copenhagen North Harbour (Nordhavnen). This is because it is currently an enormous building site with luxury apartment and office buildings shooting up in the former industrial area that is now undergoing a transformation into a new urban area. Faurschou Foundation is a privately owned art institution established in 2012 after 25 years of existence as a gallery owned by Louise and Jens Faurschou. From 2012, the foundation occupies 1500 m2 in an old warehouse building; it also has an exhibition venue in Beijing. The core of the foundation is the impressive collection of Louise and Jens Faurschou, which features some of the absolutely top-drawer names on the international art scene, such as Louise Bourgeois, Santiago Sierra, Bill Viola, Danh Vo and Zhang Huan.
Currently selected works by the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei (b.1957) are on view in the imposing halls of the Faurschou Foundation. For some time now, Ai Weiwei has been one of the most influential names on the international art scene and the most renowned of the Chinese artists, as well as a persistent political activist and a critic of Chinese regime. Freedom of speech is one of the central subjects in Ai Weiwei's artistic practice, which Chinese authorities attempt to restrict by all possible means by censoring Ai Weiwei in China, including detaining him for 81 days in 2011, and repeatedly placing him under house arrest as well as refusing to let him travel outside China, a prohibition which is still is upheld. In spite of all this, Ai Weiwei continues communicating with the world through social media like Twitter and Instagram. The Internet has become Ai Weiwei's most important arena of political activity. Ai Weiwei himself has thus inextricably become an integral part of his art.
The exhibition provides an opportunity to see some of Ai Weiwei's major works. The first work in the exhibition is the monumental installation Straight made of steel reinforcement bars used to support walls in concrete constructions. 73 tons of rusty bars cover almost the entire floor of the first large exhibition room, stacked side-by-side to resemble the crust of the earth displaced after an earthquake. The work was conceived in 2008 following the great earthquake in the Sichuan province that caused a large number of schools and other buildings to collapse. Almost 90,000 people perished, a large number of schoolchildren among them. The names of the 5019 children are listed on the wall in another work, Name List of Sichuan Earthquake Student Victims (2008-2012). However, the official death count, subsequently published by the government, was somewhat different. Ai Weiwei initiated an investigation to uncover the actual number of child fatalities. The high number of casualties was due to poor building construction.

Ai Weiwei brought 200 tons of iron bars from the collapsed buildings to his studio in Beijing where they were straightened by a host of assistants. Straight is a critique of the corrupt authorities that are to blame for the insufficient earthquake protection, but at the same time it is also visually striking.
Those who missed the opportunity to see Ai Weiwei's spectacular Sunflower Seeds at Tate Modern in 2010 now have a chance to view a smaller version of the famous work. At Faurschou Foundation, the work consists of 'just' 15 tons – instead of the initial 150 tons – of 100 million handcrafted porcelain sunflower seeds. As a reflection of Straight in the first room, the seeds are spread in a thick layer across the entire length of the floor in the third room.
Commissioned from Jingdezhen, renowned for having produced the finest Chinese porcelain for the Imperial family, the seeds provided work for the entire small city for two and a half years.
A film accompanies each of the two works, telling the story and the idea behind the work and its time-consuming creation process. It also mostly through the films that we gain an insight into the political and activist aspect of Ai Weiwei's work. Nevertheless, it is also possible to enjoy the works autonomously for their remarkable aesthetic qualities alone.
One of the latest works on display is Grapes (2014), where 32 traditional Chinese antique wooden stools are joined together forming a visually extremely beautiful round structure. In his work, Ai Weiwei continues the tradition of western modernism, whose influence, cited by the artist on several occasions, is drawn from the years he spent in New York between 1983 and 1993. A series of documentary photographs from the stay are also on view at the exhibition. In many of his installations and sculptures, Ai Weiwei works with readymades, following in the footsteps of Marcel Duchamp while at the same time incorporating Chinese culture into this practice through appropriation of traditional Chinese materials and objects, often in a controversial way. www.faurschow.com
Frank Ammerlaan 'The Extended Arms of the Transom'
David Risley Gallery
Through June 27, 2015
Frank Ammerlaan 'Untitled'. 2015. Courtesy David Risley Gallery
Back in the city centre, for the first time the David Risley Gallery presents a solo show by the London-based Dutch artist Frank Ammerlaan (b.1979), comprised of brand new work and featuring paintings, sculpture and a video. However, painting remains Ammerlaan's main field of exploration, where he continuously experiments in search for a new potential within the medium. His earlier series of paintings resembled iridescent oil spills on canvas and were made with a blend of chemicals through a special process. Only one painting from this series is on view at the David Risley Gallery.
The newest series of paintings is dark and mysterious, a blur of blue, red, purple, green and yellow in different shades emerging from a dark background like northern lights on a dark night sky. In some of the paintings, metallic threads are stretched across the surface of the canvas in different geometric shapes and patterns. The threads either shimmer or change colour, or almost disappear as you move in front of the canvas. In other paintings, lines and geometric impressions in the surface of the painting have been created by folding the canvas before stretching. Only one painting diverges from the others with a representation of something recognisable – a silhouette of an aeroplane viewed from above, absorbed by the darkness with what look like luminescent green and blue cloud formations above it. For some reason, it appears somehow disturbing and ghostly, lost in the darkness.

Most of the works are untitled, including the two sculptures – folded and slightly crumbled steel sheets that have been subject to industrial electroplating process, where the sheets are immersed in several baths of zinc that gives them a shiny multi-coloured surface.
Ammerlaan's work is not so much about the message as it is about the material, its transformation and the visual experience as a process, where the perception of a piece depends on the light and the position of the viewer in front of the work. www.davidrisleygallery.com
'Staffetten' (Art Relay) Danish Contemporary Art
Through August 16, 2015
Maj Hasager 'Decembers – A Round Table Conversation' (Videostill). 2012. Courtesy Maj Hasager
Art society GL STRAND offers a somewhat unusual exhibition concept. Here 17 different Danish artists have been invited to play the part of the curator. This exhibition concept can be regarded in the light of a recent ongoing debate in the art circles about the status of the curator, questioning whether art curators today have too much power and receive more attention than the artists themselves. As a result, art itself is in danger of being overshadowed by the curated exhibition concepts and thus deprived of its ability to speak its own language.
The concept of the Art Relay is that the artists themselves had to choose whom they exhibit together with. However, the artists were obliged to follow a number of rules or dogmas: the artist must be Danish – however, this does not necessarily imply their nationality; the artist must have had an important exhibition in Denmark within the past three years; the artist must contribute a work and then choose the next artist, as well as provide arguments for his or her choice of artist, and finally, the artist must participate in the exhibition's 'live' programme throughout the exhibition period.
GL STRAND has selected the first artist to start off the relay. This task has been given to the Superflex group of Danish artists, founded in 1993. Superflex work with different media in the intermediate area between art and political activism. With many of their projects Superflex strive to challenge and directly participate in the existing political and social reality and even create actual social change with some of their works, which they call Tools. One of their iconic works is the Supergas project (1996-), where they collaborated with engineers to construct a simple biogas system that runs on organic materials and can supply a family living in rural areas in the Global South with gas for household needs.
In this exhibition they present a video work entitled The Working Life (2013), where a hypnotist standing in an empty white room talks to the viewer, evoking and verbalizing the feelings of anxiety, loss of identity and fear of failure, which some might recognise as the basic conditions of modern working life. The work is very simple in its form, yet exceptionally effective.
Olof Olsson 'Office Work'. 2010. Photo: Lizete Riņķe
The same applies to the next work in the line, which is also a video; Office Work (2010) by the Denmark-based Swedish-Dutch performance artist Olof Olsson. It is a one-hour performance, where the artist methodically cuts 500 white A4 sheets of paper into smaller pieces. Dressed in a white shirt and black tie – the office uniform, but also the uniform that the artist usually wears during his performances –filmed from the shoulders and down, Olof Olsson works his way through a stack of paper, shifting it from one side to the other and back again. This meaningless activity ends with 8000 pieces of A8 paper. Who hasn't at some point experienced this feeling as a part of their working life? Both works are among the strongest contributions to the exhibition; furthermore, they also fit together exceptionally well contextually, which is not necessarily the case as far as the other works are concerned.
Olof Olsson has chosen Per Bak Jensen, who is regarded as a pioneer of landscape photography in Scandinavia. The Art Relay presents two monumental black and white photographs by Per Bak Jensen. The two landscape photographs, Mountain – Liverpool Land (2012) and Smoke (2010), seem almost sublime in their grandeur and beauty, and as Olof Olsson puts it, require no explanation. There is a certain link, a sort of dialogue between most of the works, thematically, conceptually or aesthetically. Per Bak Jensen's photographs are among a few other works which just seem too inconsistent with the rest.

The exhibition provides a good insight into contemporary Danish art in its diversity and speaks about what issues occupy the minds of artists and what inspires them. The subject of nationality seems to have a particular significance, particularly because some of the participating artists have another cultural background, which shows the diversity of Danish art also from this aspect. The last work in the relay, a video work What's Wrong with Being a Dane (2011) by Naja Maria Lundstrøm, contributes to the subject in a humorous way.
A wide range of media is represented at Art Reley, including photography, painting, sculpture and installation. However, video seems to be slightly overrepresented with seven different works of a considerable length, which makes it a somewhat time-consuming exhibition. Unfortunately, the average exhibition-goer is known to spend only a very limited time in front of a video work, which is a pity, because the videos are certainly among the most interesting features here at the show. Every work is accompanied by a text in which the artist explains his or her choice. The motives are very diverse, and some texts are better than others at communicating the idea and facilitating the understanding of the works.
The participating artists are SUPERFLEX, Olof Olsson, Per Bak Jensen, Vladimir Tomic, Ana Pavlovic, Christian Vind, Jens Birkemose, Jacob Stangerup, Ebbe Stub Wittrup, E.B. Itso, Maj Hasager, Jeannette Ehlers, Javier Tapia, Emil Westman Hertz, Claus Hugo Nielsen, Nanna Abell, Naja Maria Lundstrøm. www.glstrand.dk
Barry McGee and Todd James "FUD"
V1 Gallery
Through June 27, 2015
Barry McGee "Untitled". 2015. Courtesy V1 Gallery
In Copenhagen's hipster paradise – the Meat Packing District, at the V1 Gallery that has recently changed its name to V1 Contemporary Art Centre, American East Coast meets West Coast in a collaborative exhibition of the New York-based Todd James (b. 1969) and Barry McGee (b. 1966) from San Francisco. Both artists have background in the graffiti milieu, which is manifested in their vividly colourful, cartoonish yet stylistically very distinctive paintings. Even though both artists have become established icons of graffiti culture today and have numerous prominent gallery and museum shows in their portfolio, they are still occasionally also active in the street, albeit in more legal ways.
Since its opening in 2002, the V1 gallery has maintained a special focus on street art and the particular aesthetics derived from it, working with some of the most prominent Danish and international names within the field. The gallery was one of the first in Denmark to bring street art into gallery space. Today, street art has become widely accepted as art form and often appears within gallery and museum walls. However, this has also invited criticism to the effect that street art has become institutionalised, because it does not belong in the clinical white gallery or museum space away from its initial context, and has therefore corrupted its own ideology.

A nude blond female figure is a recurring motif in Todd James' vivid paintings, somewhat evocative of Matisse – a reference to the female stereotype often presented by the media. This time around she also appears in almost every painting on show. In one of the works, she is on the beach wearing a tiny red bikini, lying on her back on the bonnet of a car while the sun is setting below the horizon – yet another conventionally stereotypical way of staging women on the pages of men's magazines and in advertisements. In another painting, Anna Banana Lemonade Afternoon (2015), she has sunk into a chair in the kitchen in the company of a blue cat. But that is where things begin to get weirder and creepier: in the next two paintings, Fancy Meeting You Here (2015) and Perfect Union (2015), the blonde has suddenly been joined by a blue cobra, and her face is transformed by surprise and terror. There is also a large portrait, The Wizard Ram Zzee (2015), that almost dissolves into abstraction – homage to the late Rammellzee, New York graffiti and hip-hop pioneer and performance artist. The weird and the obscene are the central elements in Todd James' colourful, humorous and playful universe.
Barry McGee works in a wide range of media: painting on wood, drawing, sculpture and installation featuring found objects. The V1 presents a number of McGee's paintings on wood panel and on vintage surfboards piled up in one corner – a reference to the bicoastal surf culture, as well as other works that include a tableau of different objects like an old monitor, a DVD Player pottery and a carved wooden head. Displayed on a white podium, there is also a readymade of a metal safe that has been forced open.
In contrast with the more expressive Todd James, Barry McGee's work is very graphic. Here droopy monochrome caricature faces appear among the patchwork of grid-like geometric patterns; both have become his signature. These sad or grumpy faces of men, looking quite worn, are inspired by different characters seen in the streets of San Francisco, particularly representing the margins of the society. We find traces of many different sources of inspiration in McGee's work, American folk art and op art among them. www.v1gallery.com

The invited artists are Conor Harrington (UK), ROA (Belgium), Borondo (Spain), DALeast (China), Vhils (Portugal), Maya Hayuk (USA), Icy & Soft (Iran) and HuskMitNavn (Denmark). www.kicstarter.com
Bo Christian Larsson "Animal Magnetism"
Galleri Bo Bjergaard
Through June 20, 2015

The first thing that pops into mind upon entering the exhibition of the Swedish artist Bo Christian Larsson (b. 1976) at Gallery Bo Bjerggard, a few steps from V1 Gallery, is the dark and uncanny universe of David Lynch's Twin Peaks, where the woods hide mystery and evil as a reflection of the hidden dark side of humans. In Bo Christian Larson's works, something also seems to be lurking beneath the surface. A landscape can be faintly seen behind the black tar-covered trees that grow in the foreground in the Forest Gate series (2015). These three-dimensional pictures are based on framed landscape pictures which the artist has found in abandoned houses, subsequently adding his own drawings and the sculptural images of trees in tar. The idealised idyllic landscape has thus become mysterious and menacing.

A bunch of slimy mushrooms is tied to a stick at one end, while six silver fingers, growing from the other end like legs of a spider, carry the stick in the surrealistic sculptural work Mushroom Walk (2015) that looks like something from a psychedelic trip.
The next sculpture, Magnetic Stone (2015), is just as surrealistic and enigmatic. A large black stone is placed on a black rocking chair. On top of it there are a black human figure and a tree. The figure is broken in the middle and leans backwards as if drawn by the stone's magnetic force, revealing that it is hollow inside, only filled with straw. The tree in front of the figure is dead.

Philosophically, symbolically and aesthetically, nature plays an essential role in Bo Christian Larsson's work, which is also reflected in his use of materials. Larsson works with a whole range of natural materials such as tree branches, plants, feathers, fur and wax, just to mention a few. There is also a series of collages created with found photographs of wild animals, trees and forest lakes, titled Satanic Lake (2015), Dark Throne (2015) and Truth (2015), and assemblages Lucifer Closing (2015) and Toothgrinder (2015). As already suggested by the titles, Larsson's work is loaded with symbolism. However, even though it all might seem a bit excessive, Larsson succeeds in balancing the heavy connotations without falling into the trap of clichés. What Larsson creates instead is a dark, strange and highly compelling universe. In so doing, Larsson deals with our ambivalence and changing perception of nature: we can contemplate it from a distance in its idealised beauty, but the real connection to it has been lost; nature can also be demonic, cruel and possess an inexplicable power, serving as a portal to other worlds. In Larsson's work, nature is in fact a mirror of ourselves; it can contain both good and evil, depending on what we project onto it. The nature is both a symbol of our unconscious and a path to it. In this context, the figure of the shaman in the sculpture Shaman Dream (2015) symbolises a link between the internal and the external, between nature and man, and the access to the unconscious, where a new self-insight can become possible. www.bjergaard.com

3-Course Bundle | Landlording, Rental Property Marketing, & Tenant Onboard: Simplified
Get all 3 courses in the Landlording: Simplified Series to develop your processes, marketing, and retain amazing tenants.
When we became accidental landlords in 2011, we had no idea what we were doing. We stumbled through pricing. We had no idea how or where to market our property. We had no application criteria. We had ZERO idea of what we were getting into.
What happened was our unit was vacant far longer than we could afford. We took the first person who applied and had a lot of stumbles along the way.
The unit was damaged. When she'd call about repairs, we were on high-alert because we didn't have a process in place. She would drop her checks off at our house (usually late).
We had no strategy in 2011.
We made mistakes, but we learned from them.
In 2013, we decided to make a buy and hold real estate investment. We bought a 3-flat, lived in one unit, and rented out the others. By this time, we knew what we were doing.
- We had a marketing plan and automated scheduling system for showings.
- We new how to price our unit correctly.
- We had an application criteria that we communicated clearly to avoid showings for people who didn't meet the criteria.
- We had a handyman contractor that we could rely on for repairs.
- We had a cleaning service that we had a relationship with.
- We had systems for auto-payment of rent (no more late rent!)
- We had a transparent system for familiarizing new tenants with our property, lease, and systems.
- We had basically learned how to automate our biggest stress.
You can do this too.
In our 3-part class series, you will develop these strategies and automate your own rental property procedures.
In Class One - Landlording: Simplified, you will develop your systems and procedures for building a team, negotiating pricing with your team, choosing a payment system, determining your property policies, and writing your lease.
In Class Two - Property Marketing: Simplified, you will learn how to write your property ad, how to take great property pictures, how to set-up automated scheduling of showings, develop an applicant criteria, learn how to accurately price your unit, and learn how to properly background check.
In Class Three - Tenant Onboarding: Simplified, you will learn how to familiarize new tenants with your property, procedures, and lease. This class is essential for stress-free landlording. Your tenants will be more educated about the rules and regulations of your unit, they will know how to automate their payments, and they will know how to correctly contact about repair needs. Educating tenants reduces that new tenant adjustment period and the chances of getting sued over a misunderstanding.
Are you ready to be a stress free landlord?

Saying 'Thank you'
'What shall I return to the LORD for all his goodness to me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.' Psalm 116.12–13
If we were able to actually recount all God's blessings to us, we would (hopefully!) be staggered. This list would include everything from life itself to salvation, and would include many instances of provision without us even being aware of it. Sometimes the words 'thank you' sound a bit lame!
What is the appropriate response to God for all that he has given us? I am reminded of the story of the man who called out to God when he was in trouble, saying: "If you help me now then I will never bother you again." According to today's verse, the correct response is the absolute opposite to this! It is to honour what God has done and keep coming back for more.
The way the psalmist puts it is to lift up 'the cup of salvation'. This is about acknowledging what God has done and recognising that none of it has been our doing; nothing comes down to our goodness or strength and it is all simply down to him.
The second phrase the psalmist uses is to 'call on the name of the LORD'. In other words, to keep coming back to God and asking for his help. It's tempting to see this as selfish and greedy - why should he do more for us since he has already given us so much? There are many possible responses to this question, one being that asking God for help is actually a form of worship. It is acknowledging that we are unable to help ourselves and we need him. It seems he never tires of this!

Tom Dill
Mineral Wells, W.Va. (April 5, 1964) - Tom Dill of Erie, Penn., rode the last one and a half lap on a flat tire in his 1964 Ford to win, unofficially, the first running of the Americana 300 Sunday at West Virginia International Speedway.
Dill, driving his first race this season, forged into the lead on the 219th lap as Virgil Barbee pitted his 1963 Pontiac. Barbee had moved out front on the 154th lap when front-running Andy Hampton's 1964 Pontiac wouldn't fire up after a pit stop.
He had to slow his car considerably from the pace of about 62.5 miles-per-hour around the three-quarter-mile oval and limped home ahead of Barbee by one and one-half seconds. His winning average speed was 57.50 miles per hour, and he collected $1,250 for the win.
Jim Cushman, who started on the pole in his 1964 Plymouth after turning in top qualifying speed of 65.20 for the race, paced the field for about 30 laps before Hampton nosed his Pontiac ahead. Jack Purcell charged into first in a 1964 Ford but banged into the retaining wall and gave Hampton room to pass.
Earl Balmer, who was expected to set a fast pace in his 1964 Plymouth never got the car in the race. It blew a piston in practice, but the hard-charging driver got a ride when teammate Ramo Stott offered his Plymouth to Balmer, who is in the running for the ARCA point's championship.
Nelson Stacy, who's 1964 Ford arrived too late for practice Saturday, found his car wasn't geared right for the course. A blown engine let his watch most of the race.

Why Republicans Deny Global Warming & Climate Change
Republicans deny Deny Global Warming & Climate Change because fossil fuel & industries which cause pollution gives Republican politicians millions in political contributions. This is yet another example of how Republican politicians are bought and paid for by special interests, how they don't represent or care about their constituents and how they put greed and personal enrichment above doing what's best for their citizens, their country and their planet.
In this clip from the movie, An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore uses a chart to show the drastic rise in carbon dioxide levels
Scientists even more confident climate change is real
The latest UN report lays to rest the lingering doubts about climate change. So why are the global warming deniers still at it? What's in it for them to keep denying what's obvious to the scientists? Republican strategist Chip Saltsman and Penn State Professor of Meteorology Michael Mann discuss with Hardball's Chris Matthews.
God, Bible Prove Climate Change A Hoax (Say GOP Reps)">God, Bible Prove Climate Change A Hoax (Say GOP Reps)
Republican Representative Paul Broun is a classic example of how Republicans Deny Scientific facts and in doing so are unfit to hold any public office.
Republicans vs. Science
The partisan divide is heating up over climate change again. Lawrence O'Donnell discusses with Bill Nye, the Science Guy.

Editorial: Get Out of the Shade1
March 26, 2012 by Steve Winkler
Is it just a coincidence that West Fork is also a town without a website or newsletter; with uncompensated council members, delinquent city audits, commission vacancies, a mismanaged utility department, practically no commercial activity, empty houses, declining school enrollment. no welcome sign on the highway and all the other indicators of a town that has not had the good fortune of having had elected leaders that encouraged citizen participation?
The outcome of government business being conducted by arrogant, good ole boys in the back room (or the big table at the café) is not a pretty sight.
In just eight months, West Fork voters will have a chance to blow the roof off and Let the Sunshine In.

The Indian Hockey Federation on Tuesday expressed concern over the bullet injury to country's key hockey player Sandeep Singh ahead of the World Cup, and said arrangements are being made to name a substitute for the Germany bound team.
"It is a very serious incident. He is a world class player, and we are putting a lot of hope and confidence in him [for India's success in the World Cup]," IHF chief K P S Gill said, reacting to the bullet injury to Sandeep Singh on Tuesday morning.
Gill said he did not know the details of the incident, but said all arrangements had been made for Sandeep's treatment in PGI, Chandigarh.
"I have spoken to Sandeep's brother. A revolver bullet hitting him is a very serious issue. But I have no details, so I can't really say what has happened," he said.
Sandeep received injures in his foot this morning when the pistol of a Railway Protection Force officer went off accidentally inside the Kalka-New Delhi Shatabdi Express when the player was on his way to New Delhi to join the team for the World Cup to be held from September 6.
"Its a serious issue as far as the boy's return to the team is concerned. We are taking all steps to see that he does. Experts in PGI will see to it," he said.
The IHF chief said that efforts are on to get a substitute if Sandeep is unavailable for the World Cup.
Gill mentioned the names of Raghunath, now doing duty for the Indian team at the South Asian Games in Colombo, the under-19 team skipper Vikramjeet Singh and Jugraj Singh as possible replacement, but said that national coach V Bhaskaran would take a final decision.
Echoing Gill, IHF secretary K Jothikumaran said: "it was a bad news for Indian hockey. We are taking further steps".
Indian captain Dilip Tirkey said that the country had no other drag flicker of Sandeep's ability.
"It is definitely a bad news for us," he said.
Asked about other drag flickers the Indian team would be looking at as an alternative, he said: "Arjun Halappa and Raghunath were also practising drag flicks".
On when he thought Sandeep could return to top flight hockey, Tirkey said: "I don't know the exact nature of injury. If it is critical, then it will take some time to heal up. And he will also take some time to regain fitness," he said.

Paris was practically perfect...
Craig Carlson was the last person anyone would expect to open an American diner in Paris. He came from humble beginnings in a working-class town in Connecticut, had never worked in a restaurant, and didn't know anything about starting a brand-new business. But from his first visit to Paris, Craig knew he had found the city of his dreams, although one thing was still missing-the good ol' American breakfast he loved so much.
Pancakes in Paris is the story of Craig tackling the impossible-from raising the money to fund his dream to tracking down international suppliers for "exotic" American ingredients... and even finding love along the way. His diner, Breakfast In America, is now a renowned tourist destination, and the story of how it came to be is just as delicious and satisfying as the classic breakfast that tops its menu.

It's safe to say that foreign policy was not the strong suit of this year's contenders for the GOP presidential nomination. Rick Perry labeled the Turkish government "Islamic terrorists." Newt Gingrich referred to Palestinians as "invented" people. Herman Cain called Uzbekistan "Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan" and memorably blanked when asked what he thought of NATO's incursion into Libya. Michele Bachmann pledged to close the US embassy in Iran, which hasn't existed since 1980. Rick Santorum gave a major foreign policy speech at a Jelly Belly factory in California....Despite facing a war-weary public, the candidates—with the exception of Ron Paul, an antiwar libertarian, and Jon Huntsman, a moderate internationalist—positioned themselves as unapologetic war hawks. That included Mitt Romney...

Infos and specificities
#SUN BABY - Sunglasses for babies
The lens of a baby's eye is permeable to UVA and doesn't become impermeable until adulthood. Therefore it's necessary to protect babies' retinas with sun filters.
- Polarized sun lenses cat. 3
UV rays damage the eye cells. With time, the renewal will be done less and less well. The SUN glasses provide adapted protection with 100% UV category 3 lenses which protect from glare and filter 100% of ultraviolet (UV) rays.
- Straight arms
The straight arms adapt to your baby's growth.
Bonpoint, the iconic French fashion house, has once again teamed up with IZIPIZI for a collab' dedicated this time to the entire family.
Our shared desire to celebrate the summer and share moments in the sun has led to the creation of exclusive SUN models, in colours inspired by the innocence and excitement of youth.
As with all of our SUN Baby models (0-12 months), the SUN Baby Bleu Aqua and Orange Fluo offer complete protection for babies' eyes in all circumstances, with 100% UV category 3 polarized lenses. They respect natural colours, reduce light intensity, increase contrast and protect against glare. Bisphenol A (BPA)-free and hypoallergenic, these glasses have straight temples to allow them to grow with your kids, as well as an ultra supple and adjustable silicone strap to keep them from getting lost.
The bright and pop Bleu Aqua and Orange Fluo colours are a breath of fresh air. The mirrored lenses add extra style.
Combining elegance and simplicity, the SUN Baby Bleu Aqua and Orange Fluo wonderfully embody Bonpoint's luxury fashion DNA and IZIPIZI's trendy effervescence.
The Bonpoint x IZIPIZI collab? It is the fashion must-have for Summer 2019!
This model complies with the international standards for sunglasses (ISO 12312-1).

Essential oils have always been important to mankind. Ancient hieroglyphics and manuscripts document how priests and physicians utilized these potent life forces distilled from plants. There are 188 references to essential oils in the Bible! Today, more and more people are continuing to understand the power and place of essential oils in holistic wellness care.
Because of their potency, it is necessary to use only the most pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils. The information on this page only applies to Young Living Oils because they ARE, therapeutic-quality oils for over 20 years because of their unmatched Seed-t0-Seal Process with farms around the world. I do not use anything else and cannot vouch for anything less that may not provide desired results and/or be extremely toxic.
Ways to Utilize Essential Oils
Aromatically – Essential oil aromas can be inhaled (directly from the bottle, on a cotton ball, wick, after application on the hands, etc) or by breathing in the vapors of an oil that has been diffused or sprayed into the air.
Topically – Essential oils can be applied directly to the surface of the body through massage, bath, lotions, direct application, etc. Although many oils could be applied "neat" (without dilution), others are best diluted with Young Living's V-6 Oil or other carrier oils (like coconut oil) before application. This is especially true of young or sensitive skin. A warm compress can help drive an oil into the body quicker.
Internally – Since not all essential oils are created equally, many Young Living oils are LABELED as adietary supplement. This could be done by adding the oil to food or drink, dropping under the tongue, or by filling capsules. Always refer to the bottle of individual oils to ensure safety of internal consumption. Please remember that most other brands of EOs specifically say "not for internal use" because they are not pure/natural/other commonly thrown-around words. Never take lesser-quality brands internally. Also remember, EOs are very concentrated and usually even less than a drop is necessary when adding to recipes (dip a toothpick into oils and swirl into food).
Important Safety Information
Do not drop directly into the eyes – EOs can be used around the eye diluted with a carrier oil. If oils get in the eye, drop V-6/carrier oil directly in to provide instant relief.
Do not drop directly into the ear canal – They can be used diluted all around the ear though, or placed on a cotton ball that is placed just inside the ear.
Oil-soluble, NOT water-soluble – Should oils get into the eyes or irritate the skin a little, do not try to remove the oils with water which will only drive them in deeper. Diluting with extra carrier oil is best since EOs are oil-soluble rather than water-soluble.
Dilute oils for infants and children – Pure EOs are highly potent and should be diluted properly (1-2 drops of pure essential oil to 1/2 – 1 teaspoon of appropriate carrier oil). Personally, I err on the extra super-duper cautious side (if at all) with babies, and follow [From The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Essential Oils] or definitely purchase (Amazon affiliate link) Gentle Babies Essential Oils and Natural Remedies for Pregnancy, Childbirth, Infants and Young Children by Debra Rayburn first:
- Babies 0-12 months – use only 1 drop of lavender, rose, or chamomile (Roman or German) essential oil, diluted in 1 tsp. carrier oil for massage or bathing. Or Gentle Baby blend.
- Infants/Toddlers 1-5 years – use only 2-3 drops of the 'safe list' oils (non-toxic and non-irritant) diluted in 1 tsp. carrier oil for massage or bathing.
- Children 6-12 years – use for adults but in half the stated concentration.
- Children over 12 years – use as directed for adults.
Caution should be used during pregnancy – Some oils are best avoided completely during pregnancy. Others with hormone-like properties (like clary sage, fennel, and sage) require caution. Consult your midwife, doula, OB, or other resources before usage and always do your own research. (Again, I personally err on the extremely cautious side with pregnancy and would consider half the usual amounts of some oils and refer you to the Gentle Babies book above again)
Photosensitivity – Some oils are photosensitive which means they cause skin pigmentation and skin burning if exposed to direct UV sunlight. Use caution with citrus oils, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, mandarin, bergamot, angelica, etc. It is best to check safety data for oils before use and either appropriately dilute, test on a small area, or avoid their use in the sun all together.
Understand individual oils before use – Some oils are stronger than others. Some are considered "cool" oils and can be applied "neat" (straight from the bottle without dilution). Other oils are "hot" (like clove, cinnamon bark, and oregano, lemongrass, thyme) and should always be applied with well-diluted care. Read each bottle's label for recommendations.
If discomfort occurs with an oil application, be sure to dilute. Another cause of discomfort is possibly due to a balancing reaction. Essential oils help pull "yuck" from our body. If so, perhaps slow down on use, dilute further, or stop applying for a short period until your systems can process this balance.
Storing Essential Oils – Oils can maintain their full potency for many years if kept protected from heat (less than 90 degrees F) and light (use amber or cobalt bottles if you transfer. If you find essential oils in the store in a clear bottle, they are NOT good quality).
*AVOID PLASTICS* – Essential oils pull out the petrochemicals from plastics. Use a glass cup and containers if adding oils, and be careful placing oil bottles on painted surfaces. The paint may dissolve away.
Which essential oils should you order? Here's my suggestion!

Ted Mann has written for the Day of New London a multipart opus on the Malloy administration that purports to be an inside look at the "malloyalists," Mann's term for the Brights surrounding Connecticut's first Democratic governor in 20 years.
The difficulty with all such accounts is that embedded journalists tend to be stage managed by the principal actors in the drama. And the malloyalists are energetic stage managers. George Bernard Shaw was no admirer of autobiographies; they were all self-serving, carefully edited to show the hero of the piece in the best light. To the extent that a putatively objective piece of political drama approaches autobiography, it will be practically useless. A biography of Napoleon written by his butler might be useful, Shaw thought. But autobiographies – not so much.
An account of the Napoleonic years written by Madam DeRemusat, Lady in Waiting to the Empress Josephine, Napoleon's cast-off wife, is useful to historians precisely because the lady, she who could not be stage managed, was not one of Napoleon's most ardent admirers.
"Tell the truth," Emily Dickensian said, "but tell it slant." Truth be told, every truth is told slant, but it matters greatly who is slanting it. Would a biography of Napoleon written by Lord Nelson be more truthful than an autobiography written by Napoleon? Better to stick with the butler.
Among American journalists, Bob Woodward of Watergate fame is perhaps best known for writing embedded accounts of various administrations.
In a recent speech at the Organization for International Investment's annual dinner at D.C.'s Ritz-Carlton Hotel on Thursday, Mr. Woodward told the crowd that former Vice President Al Gore was not the best conversationalist at table.
"Now, sitting next to Gore is taxing," he said. And milking the laughing crowd, Mr. Woodward added, "In fact, it's unpleasant." Then Mr. Woodward, who had been criticized in some of his writings for making up conversations – to add verisimilitude to his narratives – tossed a bit of beef to the crowd.
He had asked Mr. Gore how much the public knew about what went on in the Bill Clinton administration, to which Mr. Gore responded, "About one percent," a response that made Mr. Woodward feel "icky," according to a report in The Hill.
"I kind of died inside and have to confess to having an unclean thought."
Pressing on, Mr. Woodward asked Mr. Gore how much Americans would know if the former VP had written a memoir.
"Two percent," said Mr. Gore, causing Mr. Woodward's icky meter to implode.
There is some reportage in Mr. Mann's account so far that will cause some eyebrows to arch. One includes an incident involving Mr. Malloy and Speaker of the House Chris Donovan. Mr. Donovan threatened to upset Mr. Malloy's best laid budget plans by altering an understood arrangement concluded between the Malloy administration and the Democrat dominated legislature. The Malloy administration was operating on the assumption that it had a free hand to insist on further spending cuts should its deal with the unions fall apart, at which point a call came in from "Brendan Sharkey, the House majority leader, with a distressing message relayed from Chris Donovan himself."
The House leadership, by which we are to understand Donovan, was now proposing "they tweak the language of the agreement. They want the budget bill to say that all its contents -- all those tax hikes, all the spending reductions -- are contingent on a deal with the unions," a politically unpalatable move on the part of Mr. Donovan, who appears in Mr. Mann's piece as a fervent pro-union politician, in opposition to Mr. Malloy, an uber-democrat who invariably has the best interests of Connecticut in mind.
In news accounts at the time, Mr. Donovan took great care to suggest that his role in the Malloy-SEBAC struggle was minimal and without consequence. Apparently, this was not true in the retelling. SEBAC is the State Employees Bargaining Agents Coalition authorized to represent unions in contractual arrangements.
Two of the malloyalists are stunned that Donovan seems incapable of understanding the political implications of the tweek. One malloyalist tells Mr. Donovan, "In my view, that is the worst-case nightmare of what it means to have Democratic government. The one thing we absolutely have to avoid, because we'll get ridden out of town on a rail, is turning over control of the budget to the state employee unions."
Mr. Donovan, now running for the U.S. House in the 5th District, very likely will be endorsed by the astonished malloyalists. They've had the use of him as a union foil, and in a few months the Speaker's undemocratic attempt to thwart both the legislature and the governor will be discreetly forgotten by all except, one hopes, Mr. Malloy's Boswell, Mr. Mann.
go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you;
may your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!"

A Dutch startup Fairphone has recently announced the second version of its smartphone that is due to appear later this year. It's a great news for those of us looking for something different from conventional mobile devices. It will add to a line-up of modular phones that also promise to make their debut later in 2015, among them long-awaited Google's Project Ara and Puzzlephone.
As the name suggests, the phone is a manifestation to "fair" manufacturing, free of "conflict" materials from zones of labor exploitation. An average phone contains about 40 minerals, many of which are derived from troublesome areas (i.e. DRC). Fairphone strives for alternative solutions that are based on social accountability and support working communities.
The phone is designed to empower users. Durability and longevity are the concern of its founders. The extended lifespan comes from improved reparability where the owner can change the parts of the phone themselves in an easy and fun manner. Fairphone hardware will come as an open platform and provide developers essential tools to install or design their own software.
The device houses the following specs: 5-inch Full HD display with Gorilla Glass 3, Аndroid 5.1 ( Lollipop), 32 GB internal storage, expandable storage via MicroSD slot, dual SIM, 4G LTE/3G/2G, Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 with 2GB RAM. It's an impressive stack of features capable of playing along most of your needs. What makes the phone all the more attractive is the ability to swap modules.
The project promises to become an utter success when Fairphone 2 is revealed. The first version managed to sell more than 60 000 units back in 2013. By buying the phone you will, to rephrase the company's idea, join the movement of ethical community of buyers who cherish the environment and respect human rights.

One man's dream, an other man's 'house. On the terrain of the Kröller-Müller museum is from today on, a house designed by Pjotr Müller (1947). The building is made from pieces of wood from the bin. Working with waste wood isn't a new item for the Amsterdam based artist: in 1987 he already made a temporary temple (To Noumenon) of it.
The idea for the house arose from reading a book of Dr. Carl Gustav Jung. The psychoanalyst puts out the story that when he was asleep, he was dreaming of a house which could only be entered on the top floor. He in fact ran from the back to the front, from the attic to the cellar. In every room he found a mythological sculpture. Müller deviates from this dream by placing his own dream-based figurines instead.
Huis van Dr. Jung (2004 – 2006), consists of three, almost randomly, stacked rectangular boxes. Müller hasn't intended to let it last forever. De Telegraaf: "My house of Dr. Jung symbolizes the opposite: it shows the transitory of life because the wood will not last forever". In the sculpture garden of the museum are bronze sculptures which could last forever but "the plaster cast sculptures express the fragility of human existence".

Hi again. I feel like this week has just gone so fast and I've been super busy with 'online' work, but I've nothing to show for it. I promise I have been doing work! It's just somethings take a looooooong boring amount of time to happen.
Side Note Rant: How annoying is it when people play Pokemon go in a busy public pathway!? I mean I'm all about having your fun in your digital world but please don't block me when I'm walking with a need for speed.
A'las (I've noticed I use this word a lot, but I'm okay with that) lets move on to todays post: 'Summer Essentials'.
So we're officially in the summer months; even though it seems like the hot weather has only just started last week for us here in the UK. – It's currently so clammy I feel like Clifford the clammy calm.
Sun Protection:
Probably the most boring of the bunch, but essentially the most important. I am sure we all know what a SPF does and why its important so I wont go into all of that boring stuff.
I have two SPF's that will cover all your protection needs.
Clarins Radiant Oil UVB/ UVA 30 (150ml £20.00)
This is a definite must for my trip to America!
Kiehl's Ultra Light Daily Defence SPF 50 (60ml £35.00)
This is a facial SPF I've tried and tested for years and I'm still using it to date.
I've already raved about this once here on NO.34, so if you want to read a full in-depth review then check that out here.
They have recently improved the formulation to help fight against anti-ageing, with that came a packaging change but other than that this is simply the same product.
Worried about it causing a break-out or making you oily…No need. This lightweight formulation can be used on top of your usual moisturiser. Leaving no white cast or sticky/greasy residue.
Perfect for those who burn easily.
Hot Face?
Do you get all hot and flustered from doing some of the most simplistic tasks? Giving you that glorious sheen all over your face?…I hear ya! Don't worry I've got you covered.
La Roche-Posay Serozinc Spray Toner (150ml £8.50)
A spray toner may sound like a strange summer essential; trust me. This has been a lifesaver for me.
I can't explain why, but over summer my skin goes into over drive in the oil department and decides to give me it in the excess. Queue 'Serozinc' and my double toning days. That's right I double tone through the summer months and it truly helps.
'Serozinc' is infused with zinc sulfate helping combat oily and blemish prone complexions, killing bacteria and leaving skin matt.
Apart from it being a summer essential for its oil fighting properties I also love this because it's very cool and calming to use. If we're talking simply (when am I not) this is just a can of fresh water enriched with zinc.
If you're not oil prone and you just want a cooling spray then my next item is for you…
Kiehl's Cactus Flower Mist (75ml £18.00)
A cooling and refreshing mist that's great for your skin!
Crafted with a mix of Cactus Flower and Tibetan Ginseng working together to help lock in the skins natural moisture. Both ingredients are known for their highly moisturising properties and resilience of surviving in unreasonable environments.
Blend of Lavender, Geranium and Rosemary essential oils detoxify and protect the skin from the environmental elements, while also giving the mist the most AMAZING herby scent. It's seriously so good.
Perfect when your out and about feeling like you're getting to hot and sweaty, maybe about to look like a ripened tomato.
SKYN Iceland Antidote Daily Cooling Lotion (52ml £32.50)
SKYN Iceland is a brand I don't think is widely recognised here in the UK which is a shame because they really do have some brilliant and interesting products. I know their products are available from the M&S beauty department and of course online.
First off I need to point out the luxury frosted glass packaging with a precise pump dispenser. I am a sucker for nice packaging.
Yes I will always love my Kiehl's moisturiser, but it's always a good idea to change things up every once in a while.
When I saw this was a cooling lotion I knew immediately I needed to try it, cooling products + summer = happy Jack.
'Antidote Daily' is as it say a lightweight cooling daily lotion that moisturises without feeling heavy or greasy.
So is it cooling?…sort of. What I mean by that is; yes it is cooling after initial application but it doesn't stay cold for the whole day. Which when I think about it I am sure no one would want that!
I think the 'Cooling' is in reference to it being lightweight, therefore giving you the 'nothing there' feeling.
The lotion isn't just created for its hydrating properties it also has a helping hand in preventing breakouts, redness and irritation.
Containing: "SKYN ICELAND's proprietary Biospheric complex of pure Icelandic glacial waters, arctic berries and pure oxygen, White willow bark, a naturally occurring form of salicylic acid, soothes irritation and helps provide antibacterial protection"
They've also chucked in some meadowsweet extract to help oil balance skin!
This is an all-rounder. No matter you skin concerns they've covered it.
The Itchy Eye Complex
Optrex Brightening Eye Drops (10ml £3.79)
Allergies are a pain in the arse at the best of times and with summer comes the added annoyance of hay-fever.
Hay-fever can often cause the nasty looking blood-shot eyes, making us look tired and run down.
To combat this just add a couple drops into each eye and within mins your once red eyes will be pearly and glossy making you look fresh as a daisy.
It may seem like a strange thing to think about but it really does make a big difference.
Summer Body
Sanctuary Spa Cooling:
Shower Drench (250ml £7.00)
From the company that gives you the 'spa in the jar' experience, brings you a new try with their cooling range.
Travelling to America soon I know that mid-day showers will most definitely be on the schedule. (I'm from Newcastle, I'm not used to the heat.)
A 'Cooling Shower Drench' is a must! First of all lets just talk about the name 'Drench' that immediately sounds refreshing and hydrating.
The formulation itself is a thick consistency that almost looks like it has pearly pigments in it, it foams up into a generous lather meaning a little goes a long way.
Infused with watermelon and cucumber extract this skin-chilling body drench brings you the freshest scent around, it smells like a delicious summer cocktail.
An awesome summer wash that leaves you feeling invigorated and fresh. Aaah.
Body Sorbet (200ml £7.00)
Body sorbets are my favourite type of 'body' moisturisers. They are so quick and absorbent, which means a lot let hassle.
This 'Cooling Sorbet' by Sanctuary is truly a summer essential in my eyes. The chilly formulation is perfect on the skin after a day in the sun, whether is used as an after sun to help soothe the skin with aloe vera and cucumber water or just as a daytime delight to cool the senses with its unique tingly feel.
A light fresh fragrance of citrus notes with a dash of soft musk to top it off gives you the perfect summer mix.
Bondi Sands Everyday Gradual Tanning Milk (375ml £11.99)
We all want to have that healthy glow at summer. But sometimes getting it naturally just doesn't work. Personally for me my arms and legs seem to tan then its just non-existent on the rest of my body; it ain't a good look.
Fake tan would probably seem the easiest and quickest alternative. Not for me. I HATE the smell of fake tan, I can't understand how some people love it, but each to their own I guess. Hopefully one day I will find one I don't hate.
Anyways that's why I always reach for an everyday tan, they are simple to use, none of that orange staining transfer and of course none of that god awful smell!
I only tried the Bondi Sands Tanning Milk this year, already its my favourite. Their dual action formulation hydrates and nourishes the skin while giving you a deeper longer lasting tan that you can build up to your desire.
It leaves the skin soft and smooth with that healthy summer glow, oh and the scent is cocoa butter. So if your okay with smelling like chocolate then you need this in your life.
I would say use it for around two-week, then exfoliate it off and start again otherwise it can get patchy in areas.
Hairy Fairy
Malin + Goetz Peppermint Shampoo (236ml £16.00)
This is my first time using a product from M+G, I've seen the brand in Space NK and online but just never got around to trying any of it until now.
M+G state their products to be professional hair care, I would agree. The Peppermint shampoo is their best-selling shampoo, know for being gentle yet invigorating, all the while being suitable for all hair types; included coloured.
As the name would give away, it has a strong scent of peppermint. Peppermint is known to clarify, cleanse and stimulate; all great things for the health of your hair and regrowth.
Formulated for frequent use, which is great for men, the majority of which wash their hair on a daily basis. It is also enriched with olive oil to moisturise dry and weak hair.
I'm a true fan of this shampoo, it worked wonders at cleansing wax and clay out of my hair without drying at all. Plus I love the stimulating properties that it holds, great for a morning wake-me-up.
Lee Stafford GeLEE WeT LooK (100g £5.33)
This is another item I did a full review on recently with the before and after of styling so if you want to check that out here. Please feel free.
This is a brilliant product! I have been using it almost everyday for a simple summer vibe. The wet look is back with a bang.
The gel/pomade formulation is simple to use and wash out. I suggest applying to wet hair for best results.
Smelling Fresh
Tom Ford Mandarino Di Amalfi (50ml £148.00)
If you want to show off this summer here's your trick: Smelling finnnnnnne. So why not do it with this masterpiece.
I think this may be my favourite Tom Ford cologne! Shock horror.
But its true, citrus fruits of lemon and orange blended together with the warmth of basil, coriander and sage bring this scent to life for summer. Inspired by the calm idyll of the whitewashed villas dotting the cliff side of Amalfi you feel transported to the exotic country with the beaming sun; when in reality you're in a bus stop in Newcastle with the heat off someones tab in your face. But you get what I mean.
Sony MDR-XB650BT Headphones (one size £100)
How annoying is it when your listening to music then you walk away from the laptop and you end up yanking it onto the floor and feeling like your ears have been ripped off because you forgot to detach your headphones. Yep, really.
These Sony headphones have up to 10 metres distance for bluetooth connection and up to 30 hours of battery life.
The design is comfortable and adjustable to your desire. Plus they give you the best bass you have ever heard from a set of headphones!
Sandy has also been loving them, although she's not much of a tech wizard herself. Once I've connected them to her phone she has hours of entertainment dancing along to her fave hits.
Sony SRS-XB3 Portable Speaker (one size £130)
This nifty little speaker is built for those who love some EXTRA BASE! It hard to believe how much sound a small speaker like this can make.
Any type of summer gather bring this guy along and you will be loved by all. Quick and easy bluetooth connection, up to 24 hours of battery life and its water-resistant so don't worry about the odd splash here and there (obvs don't dunk it in the water, it's not a shark jeez). Plus it comes in a range of cool colours.
Check out the Sony High-Fi systems here.
Summer Accessories
Fjallraven Kånken Pink BackPack (one size £67.00)
I've wanted a Fjallraven backpack for a while now so when I noticed they had a PINK one! I had to have it. Okay so yes it was technically from the women's section but who cares! Its pink and I'm obsessed.
It the perfect size for summer adventures I can fit everything I need in it.
Not to sure if its waterproof but it seems like a material that would at least be shower resistant.
Oh also it PINK just incase you didn't know. So yeah its awesome.
Primark Aztec Beach Towel (one size £7.00)
Have you ever seen a beach towel as cool? I mean come on! It looks like a magic carpet and it was only £7.00 from Primark.
Theres nothing much more to say about it. If you haven't checked out Primark's homeware department lately then you need to, they have some really great items at the moment.
So there you have it. All of my summer essentials to get you through the summer looking a feeling as cool as cucumber.
Toodlepip my friends,

You can say a lot of things about Tom Goss, like how he is immensely talented, strikingly handsome and astonishingly versatile. But something you can never say is that Tom is boring. You see, he always seems to be pushing himself, and moving in directions even a rabid fan like myself would not see coming. From style to costume to substance, Tom will find a way to surprise me. And with his latest music video, he has done it again. Tom takes on "Fancy", the hit from Australian Rapper Iggy Azalea and English singer-songwriter Charli XCX. Tom doesn't have any help, aside from himself and some great equipment. His creativity and talent shine, especially when he releases his Wisconsin gangster with a joyous spirit. His performance was captured beautifully by Aram Vartian, who shot, directed and edited the video. The two wrok well together, for Aram has been on the creative team for most of Tom's videos. This is Tom Goss with "Fancy", the Iggy Izalea cover.
Tom has made this single available for FREE on his Facebook page. You better believe I got my copy, and it went directly into my August playlist. I can guarantee you I will be listening to it for the rest of the summer! To learn more about Tom, visit his official website. You can also follow him on Twitter, or like him on Facebook. You should check out his latest album, 'Wait', released this past May. You can preview and purchase it from iTunes, CD Baby, and Amazon. You can also buy the physical CD from Tom's online store.

In this edition of Hawks Headlines, we put a bow on the week by examining the seasons of Corey Crawford and Brandon Saad, laud Patrick Kane for his embrace of one of the Chicago Blackhawks' most bitter rivalries, and take a look at the four Hawks players one columnist feels will make the Hockey Hall of Fame.
- We start out with the Committed Indian crew, who has a nice breakdown of Saad's season. He did a lot of things right, but his defensive positioning does need work. It will be interesting to see if he continues to take cues from Marian Hossa next season. [Real Fans Program]
- Speaking of report cards, our pals at SCH have some analysis on Corey Crawford's season. [Second City Hockey]
- With his penchant for getting drilled with big hits along the boards, there are probably better players than Marcus Kruger to model one's game after, but that isn't stopping Phillip Danault from doing so. [CSN Chicago]
- After excelling at the team's prospect camp and impressing fans at the Blackhawks Convention over the weekend, Nick Schmaltz leaves the Windy City with some big impressions made on both fans and Hawks executives. [ESPN Chicago]
- Here's a pro-tip for you young hockey fans out there: if you get a picture taken with Patrick Kane, make sure that you aren't wearing a St. Louis Blues shirt. No one will see the logo. [CBS Chicago]
- Have $7,500 laying around? Then you could be the proud owner of the stick that Mush March used to score the overtime game-winning goal for the Blackhawks in the 1934 Stanley Cup Final. [Heritage Auctions]
- Dave Lozo checks in with his thoughts on the 30 current NHL players most likely to make the Hockey Hall of Fame, and he includes four Blackhawks on that list. None of them are particularly surprising, but it's fun to see the other players he has on the list. [Bleacher Report]
- Finally, the Montreal Canadiens inked defenseman Lars Eller to a four-year contract extension on Thursday. [NHL.com]
