Shopping in Singapore
For me, it's all about the shoes. Charles and Keith is my absolute favorite shoe shop - affordable styles copied right off the runway in my size 34 (yes, I have little feet) which I simply wear to death for a year or so before replacing them with new styles. Here are this year's haul.
this gorgeous Celine. I wasn't planning on any bag purchases this time but I fell in love with this Chloe number. It's adorable and fun and perfect for days and nights when I don't want to be weighed down with stuff.

What an awesome haul! Those chopsticks and spoon are too adorable. I should have a look-see when I go back to Singapore - it never occurs to me to get homeware. I do stock up on bras and shoes because they are expensive in Tokyo.

I'm so thankful we have Charles and Keith in Dubai. :) I remember entering a shop whose name I forgot in Singapore where I absolutely wanted to buy all the clothes in it and transform the place into a personal walk-in closet. The lady stylist in the shop was also so friendly. I will definitely go back there for shopping and for food.

You sure had a great time shopping in SG! You've a great taste in shoes though. I like all your picks from Charles & Keith. I use to buy their shoes a lot but lately I found it kind of uncomfortable. I start to move towards Nine West and Steve Madden. Sometimes Aldo too.
Enjoy all your great items. That Chloe is definitely for keeps =)

It feels like I can't escape shopping. I'm trying really hard to stop but this post is making me itch to buy a new pair of shoes! I've bought a few pairs of Charles & Keith shoes when I was holidaying in Malaysia. They are pretty good except one pair that made my big toe bleed.

[MLS] Toronto FC's Zac Herold, who started for the USA at the 2009 Under-17 World Cup, has retired at the age of 17
after it was discovered he had a heart condition.
Herold is at risk of developing a potentially fatal irregular heart rhythm, or arrhythmia, because he suffers from the condition Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
Before Saturday's game against New England, Toronto will honor Herold in a ceremonial coin toss at BMO Field.
"Early in preseason, we did medicals on all our players, and obviously our doctor, Ira Smith, was concerned with some of Zac's results," said TFC general manager Mo Johnston. "From there he then began a series of tests with a variety of doctors, in both Canada and the U.S. Zac's health was first and foremost in this process. Our hearts go out to Zac and his family; it's a very difficult situation. We felt it was the right thing to do by honoring him in front of our fans, and give them a chance to show their support."
Herold grew up in the Florida youth program that produced Jozy Altidore and attended the U.S. U-17 residency program in Bradenton, Fla.
He was one of two 2009 U-17s to be taken in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft.

What Makes Gurgaon Guys the Wrong Kind
When talking about the perks of living in Gurgaon, locals love to boast about the many nightlife options available there.
The microbreweries that are exclusive to Gurgaon always have an elaborate events schedule planned out for their patrons, and a plan for an evening out almost always starts and ends with the 'going to a pub to chill' drill. On one such evening, we found a group of guys, more commonly known as stags in the pubbing circuit, involved in a heated discussion with the management of a club. They were eventually denied entry, so we decided to deconstruct the stag policies of the pubs in Gurgaon.
What the owners have to say
Pubs in Gurgaon swear by their niche clientele and do not take stag entry policies lightly. Most venues choose to have someone from the management posted at the entry gate, whose only job is to keep those who do not match the standards of the club out. Most stags do not make it past the guards and the bouncers. However, owners agree to make exceptions for regulars and corporate guests after checking their office ID cards. The worst idea is to turn up in a huge all-boys group, because that gets a unanimous thumbs down everywhere.
Ishan Grover, business head, Manhattan, The Craft Brewery, told us, "We assess everyone who shows up at the club every single night. The most common observation with stags is that they are guys who are already a few drinks down. Most of those people just want to chill and check out the crowd after they have pre-gamed at home. It is very risky to keep a check on them. They don't even contribute much as consumers and end up spoiling the vibe of the place. So we avoid stag entries, especially on weekends and on event nights."
According to Jaswinder Parmar from Striker, stags affect the business of the place because groups with women are not comfortable. He said, "We have a very strict entry policy wherein stags are not allowed. The biggest reason is that we need to ensure that the women guests and people accompanying them don't have to be worried all the time because of stags." The no-stags allowed tag attracts couples, all-girl groups and mixed groups. We do allow small groups during the daytime or on days when business is slow, but on Tuesday which is our ladies night and on the weekends, stags are not entertained."
Amit Jakhar, the food and beverage manager at the Galaxy hotel, which looks after Howzatt, shared with us, "We assess the groups individually. Members of the management keep a check through personal profiling at every level. We do make exceptions in allowing stag groups, if they are corporates. We have often asked for company ID cards to makes sure the quality of the crowd is maintained." Akshit Sidhu, managing director at Area 69, agrees, "You can't put all the stags in one category. We sometimes make exceptions for our regular guests because you have to judge the stags individually. Some of them are an absolute no-no, 'inviting danger' kinds, while some we can still entertain on a slow day." The easiest way to be denied entry is by walking into a pub in a big all-male group. Like Mritunjai Tiwary, general manager at Vapour, puts it, "An all-guy group is usually denied entry. Anything above five guys is a bad idea because it is very easy for a group like that to lose control of their drinks and create problems. As per experience, groups with girls and boys are better customers than the all-guy groups, and we follow this policy seriously."

No matter if it's a park or backcountry kicker, you can always count on the Squad Rocker! Thanks to its moderate Freestyle Rocker it glides through powder with effortless flow, while at the same time offering killer performance in the park. This board is so playful that you will even get away with imperfect landings. However, due to its stiffer flex you will also feel bold on the Pro Line and faster on the in-runs. Like all Völkl twin-tip boards with Blunt Nose you can ride the Squad Rocker one board length shorter: The unique geometry increases the effective edge but offers the edge hold of a longer board. The result? Easier spins, safer landings, and less reverts! Despite the ultra-light woodcore and the thin topsheet the Squad Rocker is virtually unbreakable: Premium Carbon and the integrated Horror-Shock Absorber provide loads of power, pop and bulletproof strength. Rail, kicker line or powder? It doesn't matter, as long as it's all about Rock 'n' Roll!
This shape is also flat between the bindings, with moderate rocker in the nose and tail, which makes jibs and butters a walk in the park. Since the edge doesn't bite immediately, edge-catching slams are things of the past. It also features enhanced float, the perfect savior for bombed out landings and flat powder slopes!

Space X bringing new technology to Spaceport America
LAS CRUCES, N.M. - Spaceport America is well on its way to bringing science fiction to life.
Virgin Galactic's CEO Richard Branson has said his company is eyeing a Christmas launch into space.
Another company moving to the spaceport is working to get humans living on Mars.
Space X signed a three-year lease with the spaceport in May.
The company is bringing brand new technology that is the first of its kind. Company officials said it's the key to a future of people living on different planets.
The company has been testing a ship called the Grasshopper. Space X is hoping the ship will become the first reusable space ship.
"The grasshopper is a 12-story test vehicle that enables us to really simulate a launch of a rocket and then bring it back and land it back on the launch pad," said Space X Spokeswoman Christina Ra.
Ra told ABC-7 this is the first step in reaching the company's ultimate goal.
"Space X was founded to make humanity a multi-planetary civilization. The biggest obstacle to achieve that is really the cost of space travel as well as the reliability. We really think in the long-term this will be the solution to bringing down the cost of space travel and to making more frequent and longer distances possible," she said.
When the company completes testing in McGregor, Texas, it will be using the spaceport in New Mexico to take testing to another level.
"Space X is really excited to move into our next phase of rocket reusability testing at Spaceport America in New Mexico. Particularly, we're able to take our reusable rocket testing to higher altitudes and then a variety of trajectories, which is unique to New Mexico. It really enables us to take our testing program to the next level," Ra said.
"This is phenomenal technology. The work that our companies are doing are so important to advancing the state of the art and the state of the practice," said Christine Anderson, the executive director of the New Mexico Spaceport Authority.
As Space X prepares to move in, the spaceport is getting closer to finishing construction.
"Things are moving along well and we're making great progress. We just finished the 12,000-foot runway part and we're making great progress on our visitor's experience, which is our visitor's complex onsite as well as our welcome center in Truth or Consequences," Anderson told ABC-7.
Ra could not share any details on when Space X will starting working in New Mexico. She said it hinges on how testing goes in Texas.

code reader..clearing
so i replaced the throttle body on the 2000 328i. Now i need to clear the codes from the computer. plus i don't know if i need to do something else so my car will read the part properly.....anybody know if the regular scanners will do what i need?
I went to advance to get the codes read and asked if their scanner would clear the codes. NOPE, it only works on the check engine light. I have the eml and another light. still in fault mode. I need to clear it to see if i fixed it right. can anyone suggest an adapter for my pc and a program that I can do this with?... I see lots of scanners on the net...which one?

Top Things To Do in The Bay of Fundy
Flying into Toronto after a week touring the Bay of Fundy, I felt it. And, it took me by surprise.
I felt the difference between a city with a manufactured rhythm and a place where the rhythm is naturally created by the 12 hour cycles of the ocean tides.
I took a deep breath and re-entered Toronto while wondering whether a cottage on The Bay of Fundy could make sense in my life.
The Bay of Fundy – a Natural Wonder
The Bay of Fundy is a special place in so many ways that it is shortlisted as one of the New7Wonder of Nature. I went to have a look thanks to New Brunswick Tourism and Tourism Nova Scotia. The final list of Seven will be announced in November.
Top Things to Do
Here are the top things to do around the Bay of Fundy by theme.
- Adventure travel – from hiking to ziplining to sea kyaking and horseback riding, there is lots around the Bay of Fundy for the adventure traveler. But, top of the list has to be riding the Tidal Bore. I had no idea what to expect. I thought it was like rafting but, other than than the fact that you're riding in a zodiac and you get wet in wild water, it's nothing like rafting. Watch for the post on that experience on Solo Traveler.
- Food and Wine – I ate great food and drank local wine around the Bay of Fundy every single day. From road side stops for excellent lobster rolls to fine dining restaurants overlooking the ocean, I had great food. I also discovered a few surprisingly good wineries when there – they don't export to Ontario.
- Music – Maritimers are known for their music. I stepped into the heart of the music scene in St. Andrew's by the Sea when I met Jamie Steel. He'll show up in a post on music as well as one on how to meet the Right Locals.
- Geology and Paleontology – Who knew? There is lots to dig around the Bay of Fundy. For those into rocks and fossels, there is the Geological Museum in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia and the geopark in and around Saint John, New Brunswick.
- Marine experiences - This is no surprise but some of the activities were. Of course, you can go fishing and whale watching but have you dug clams with a man who has done so for 40 years? He'll teach you the technique. Add to that dulce harvesting and you have a Fundy Experience.
- Spectacular Scenery - If all you want is to relax and enjoy beautiful scenery the Bay of Fundy is your place. Everywhere you look as you drive around the Bay offers beautiful scenery. I'll give you an itinerary soon.
- History – This history around the Bay of Fundy starts with the Mi'kmaq people. Moving forward in time, Europeans were there in the 1600s. The City of Saint John was the first incorporated city in Canada and it's right on the Bay. In the 1800s the region was alive with summer resorts and private retreats.
- Acadian Homecoming – In the Expulsion of 1755, the Acadians (french speaking) of Nova Scotia were removed from the area by the English. Consequently, there is an Acadian diaspora all over the world. The Grand Pré National Historic Site of Canada commemorates the Acadian settlement and is a destination for those with Acadian heritage including the cajuns of Louisiana.
- Hospitality of the People – There are no people in the world like those from the Maritimes. Happy, relaxed and helpful, it's important to take the time to mingle. Go to Slocum and Ferris in the Saint John City Market. I'll give you more details soon.

The Lindt Big Egg Hunt, the world's biggest Easter egg hunt, is in London until Sunday 7 April, raising money for children's charity Action for Children. Over 100 giant Easter eggs have been hidden in and around Covent Garden.
To celebrate the hunt returning to the capital city, 30 readers can win a year's supply of Lindt chocolate.
So far the hunt has travelled across the country, stopping at Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool. The two and-a-half-foot high fibreglass eggs have been designed by leading artists and designers including Sam Taylor-Johnson (formerly Taylor-Wood), Alexis Harding, Billy Childish and Michael Petry - and also feature Peter Rabbit, Peppa Pig, Moshi Monsters, SpongeBob SquarePants, Thomas the Tank Engine and Ben 10.
For more information visit thebigegghunt.co.uk or get involved online at facebook.com/bigegghuntuk or @bigegghuntuk.
Please note: The 'year's worth of chocolate' amount of 12kg is based on Lindt's experience of the average consumption per household per year. Lindt and Action for Children are chocolate fans but always make sure they eat it in moderation and as part of a healthy and balanced diet, and would encourage you to do the same.

2 weeks. Had I lived in the Phoenix area it would have taken less Post Office time.
Thought I had answered this before but on review determined I hadn't.
New York Now:
4 (in county) references, Application, reason, class
Ok i'm good so far.
10 weeks after i turned it in, still no FBI response.
12 weeks after i turned in application. Approve Unrestricted.
13 weeks, County Clerk Finally answers my questions (they couldn't get in touch with me, my mailing addres and living address are 2 different towns (and counties) and there is only room for residence on the application).
So then I find out i have to purchase a gun to get my gun purchase "slip" to give to the dealer to get hte gun i purchased?????
and THEN i can pick up the Pistol Permit.
BUt I did. (ok anyone know THAt quote? if so you are just as demented as me)
2 weeks. Had I lived in the Phoenix area it would have taken less Post Office time.
Thought I had answered this before but on review determined I hadn't.
Got my ccw permit today. I'm in Florida, and took 5 weeks to the day.
10 days in KY. They don't do fingerprints here, either.
I was kind of surprised at the thickness of the ledger I signed when I picked it up. I signed close to the end of it. That sucker looked big enough to hold every name in the county, and was only for CCDW holders.
6 weeks and 4 days.
I got mine in exactly 7 days in NW washington, and I had only been in the state 2 weeks after moving from the UK.
Here in Orange County, NY I submitted my application in the begining of March and I got my permit last Tuesday, 2-1/2 months after I submitted it. By New York standards that was pretty quick.
A buddy of mine received his CCW permit this week. It took 83 days from the date of application. This is in Knox County, TN.
I made the mistake of applying before Christmas, got my card back like Jan 20th, plus I had to wait for a convenient time to get the pic and card in hand.
I was told it was pretty much dependent on the county you live it as far as how tough it is. It all comes down to the judge granting the permit or not.
I know you cannot carry inside any of the NYC boroughs, but outside of that I had not heard of any restrictions.
So far my process has been similar but not exactly the same.....YET!!
I got my 4 references, got my prints done, saw a notary, paid my dues, got pictures taken and handed in all my papers.....
The clerk told me that the next step was my interview with a deputy or sheriff (in 4-8 weeks), then the judge will make his ruling (before 6mos) so now all I can do is wait...... but since I've been talking about doing this for two years already the wait won't be too much of a big deal....
I guess the purchasing part will probably the same as you guys....
I know of one judge who will only issue licenses with restrictions, but will let you apply to have the restrictions removed after a period of time...almost like an extended waiting period. In any case, I usually don't carry unless I'm on my way to or from the range, but if I felt the need to carry, the gun is coming with me - and with the right lawyer, the law will be on my side.
Threads about illegal activity.
I have had my CCW for 4 years. It took 6 months to the day to get my permit. I live in upstate New York (Monroe County) and the only restriction I have is no carry in NYC.
In my case, my license has contradictory information on the front and back. In the strictest and most restrictive interpretation, I am allowed to carry a handgun while engaged in as well as traveling to and from activities involving hunting and target shooting as long as I steer clear of NYC.
So, (these are all hypothetically) if I were to carry a handgun on the way to a shooting range, I would be acting legally. If I were to stop at Walmart on the way to the range to get ammo, and stop for lunch on the way home, I'd be legal. But if anything happened along the way that required me to defend myself using a handgun, the question of weather or not I acted legally would likely be answered by how good of a lawyer I could afford.
Due to the back up at the Sherriffs office Guilford County North carolina takes at least 5 weeks to get in to apply. Then it nominally takes 60 to nearly the full 90 days allowed by law.
5 days in AZ for me

If Brett Favre returns to the NFL as a member of the Vikings, one former Vikings quarterback made it clear that he won't be happy about it.
Fran Tarkenton was interviewed this week on Radio 790 The Zone out of Atlanta and was asked for his take on the NFL topic that has been reported and debated ad nauseum over the past few weeks.
"I think it's despicable. What he put the Packers through last year is not good," Tarkenton said. "Here's an organization that was loyal to him for 17-18 years, provided stability of organization, provided players. It just wasn't about Brett Favre. But, you know, in this day and time, we have glorified the Brett Favres of the world so much, they think it's about them."
The 69-year-old Hall of Fame quarterback didn't think much of the way Favre conducted himself in New York while working for the Jets. And he wasn't impressed by his performance, either.
"He goes to New York and bombs," he said. "He goes and runs up to the Jets, doesn't even dress in the locker room of the players, has a separate facility."
"I kind of hope it happens so he can fail," Tarkenton added.
The former Giants and Vikings quarterback, who was a nine-time Pro Bowler, played for 18 seasons before hanging up his helmet and his cleats for the last time following the 1978 season. He was 38 years old at the time, a year younger than Favre is now. So he can relate to the wide range of emotions that a star player goes through after a long career as he faces the point in his life where retirement from the game is looming. But Tarkenton obviously thinks Favre has become too self-centered and selfish.

"He told the Packers, 'I'm retiring'. And they've got to move on. They've got to go to the offseason plan, their workouts, they go to the other quarterback who's a good player," he said. "And then he comes back and says, 'I think I want to play.'
"You build your team in the offseason, everybody knows that. It's about team, it's not about Brett Favre. So playing quarterback -- is what life -- it's about relationships you have with your coaches, with your players, with your trainers, with your managers. How can you do that if you show up on game day and you haven't put the time in? And now he's trying to do it again in Minnesota."
While Tarkenton acknowledges that Favre has had an impressive career overall, he's not totally impressed with him as a quarterback.
"But you get into a position, and I understand, he's been glorified so much, he's been a great player, there's no question about it. But it's all about him, and it's supposed to be all about your team," he said. "I think he has been a flamboyant, great quarterback. But he has made more stupid plays than any great quarterback that I've never seen.
"Look at his final game in a Packers uniform, he blew that game against the Giants. He's playing against Eli Manning, and I love Eli Manning, but he's still not a great quarterback, he's not Peyton yet, or Tom Brady, he's just a guy. And they're playing at home. And they're in a tight situation that went to overtime and he throws the interception that allows them to come back and win the game. A few years ago in a playoff game against Philadelphia, he throws a Hail Mary of about twenty yards, forty yards up in the air and cost them the game -- and again, in the fourth quarter of the playoffs. He has driven his coaches crazy all of his career."
Tarkenton said he couldn't have imagined retiring from the Vikings and then signing a contract to play for the Packers. It was obvious from his comments that he didn't feel that Favre had done his part to be loyal to the organization that had helped him build the type of career that will inevitably land him in the Hall of Fame as well.
"He should be grateful to Green Bay, stable, all-time great organization. And he just treated them horribly last year and now he wants to get revenge. Isn't that fun?" he said. "And still, they're not sure what he is ultimately going to do. So Minnesota is willing to sit on the fence because now he's saying, 'well I'm going to try to rehab the bicep, I don't want to have surgery.'
"So still, typical Brett Favre."
Let the games begin
Honestly, I thought Tarkenton's comments were out of line, even though I've grown as weary of the annual Brett Favre retirement announcements as anyone. While I respect Tarkenton's wonderful career, part of the basis for his argument seems to be that it's wrong for a player to retire from a team where he's had a great career, and then come back to play for a division rival.

And that's just ridiculous.
He's right that Green Bay made every effort to make sure Favre wasn't going to reconsider before turning the keys to the Packers' offense over to Aaron Rodgers. And Favre did make a mess of things by reversing his decision, and trying to return to Green Bay.
But I don't fault Favre for being human and deciding he had made a mistake. That said, I'm certainly among those who believe that he has handled his on-again, off-again retirement like a child who craves the spotlight a bit too much, creating way too much drama. But that doesn't mean that he shouldn't play for the Vikings or whoever is still interested in offering him a contract.
I'd also argue that Favre didn't "bomb" in New York as the Hall of Fame quarterback contends. He finished 11th in the league in passing yards, had the fifth-best completion percentage and finished ninth in touchdown passes. The big dent in his armor was his league-leading 22 interceptions, but he's thrown more than 20 picks in six of his 18 NFL seasons. That's not a great statistic by any means, but not one that so badly overshadows those other categories that you should throw Favre into a dumpster.
Tarkenton went beyond intelligent football commentary and into an area that made him seem petty, especially when he stated that he kind of hopes, after all, that Favre goes to Minnesota "so he can fail." His best point out of his entire tirade was that Favre should strive to start working with new teammates as early as possible to give his new team -- and himself -- the best chance at winning a Super Bowl. But with Favre's bicep situation right now, it certainly complicates the issue.
If Brett Favre can still play football and the Minnesota Vikings or any other team wants to sign him, it'll be good for that team's fan base and for the NFL. Favre showed everyone last year that he still has the enthusiasm to play and he's still really fun to watch.
And let's not forget that ultimately, football is entertainment. So if Favre and the Vikings work out a deal for him to play in Minnesota this year, let the games begin.

Jose Mourinho's side can go top with victory over the struggling Black Cats who remain bottom of the table and six points from safety with just five games remaining
Chelsea welcome bottom side Sunderland to Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening knowing that a win would take them top of the table for at least a day with Liverpool visiting Norwich City on Sunday.
After surprise defeats to Aston Villa and Crystal Palace in recent weeks, the Blues have recovered well, recording victories over Stoke City and Swansea City in their last two outings.
|Chelsea are 3/1 with Paddy Power to win the Premier League
With four games to go, and a potential title decider at Anfield next weekend, Mourinho knows his side can ill-afford any more slip-ups if they are to claim a fourth Premier League crown.
Gus Poyet, meanwhile, returns to his former club hoping Sunderland can build on Wednesday's morale-boosting 2-2 draw at Manchester City.
The Uruguayan spent four years at Stamford Bridge between 1997 and 2001, and became a cult hero for his rampaging runs and goalscoring exploits from midfield.
Sunderland did Jose Mourinho's Chelsea a huge favour in the title race by holding City at the Etihad Stadium in midweek, with the Premier League's bottom club only denied a crucial three points two minutes from time when a Samir Nasri effort squirmed past keeper Vito Mannone.
Poyet was encouraged by his side's showing in Manchester, which halted a run of five straight defeats, and hopes it will give them a boost heading into this weekend.
"It was an excellent performance by us against City," he told reporters. "It's the sort of performance which is going to give us that word that I absolutely hate - which is 'confidence'.
"I don't like using that word that, but it is true. Given as well as we played against City, it will give us a bit of hope against Chelsea this weekend.
"I think now the players will believe they might get something."
Despite Wednesday's hard-earned draw, Sunderland remain rooted to the foot of the table, six points from safety with five games remaining and will be without Phil Bardsley (suspended) and Ki Sung-Yueng (tendonitis) for the trip to west London.
Midfielder Liam Bridcutt was absent from the draw at the Etihad due to personal reasons, while Steven Fletcher (ankle) and Carlos Cuellar (knock) remain doubtful.
Chelsea, meanwhile, may be without Eden Hazard again, after he was sidelined for the trip to Swansea following his withdrawal in the Champions League quarter-final against Paris-Saint Germain due to a calf problem.

An Oxjam Takeover Event is a massive multi-venue music event which literally takes over a town or city for the night and showcases the best local talent.
These events are organised by teams of Oxjam volunteers, led by Festival Managers, who spend over 6 months putting them together. Festival Managers are recruited by the central Oxjam team in February-March.
Our Festival Managers recruit their core team of volunteers from April - June. You can look here. For details during those months. They are also always on the lookout for volunteers to help with fundraising, production, promotion and on-the-day help.
Some areas may not have a Takeover team in their area and this is due to the initial recruitment of teams, as we depend on where applicants choose to put on an event.
Oxjam Takeovers are different to Gig Maker events as they work to a more structured model, and the volunteers who organise them have to apply for their roles. Each one is organised by a Festival Manager and team of volunteers and takes about 6 months to organise and fundraise for. We'd prefer if you didn't refer to your event as an Oxjam Takeover to avoid confusion with these events.
If you would like to be a part of a Takeover team please keep an eye on our website for details in April-June, when Festival Managers will be recruiting volunteers in their local area.
Whilst October is the Oxjam month long music festival it is possible to have it any time that suits you. Oxjam Gig Makers usually start thinking about their events approximately four months in advance to allow enough time for planning and promotion. Your event can be held any time of the year but ideally we would like as many events to take place in October as possible. This way you benefit from the national marketing and buzz Oxjam are creating to publicise the month long festival.
Oxjam doesn't usually recommend holding an outdoor event. They carry a high risk (especially in October) and take a lot of organisation. The best formula for a successful event is an existing, inside, licensed venue which has the equipment that you and your bands will need.
However if you do feel experienced enough to organise an event anywhere live music is not usually heard - the most important thing that you need to consider is a Temporary Events Notice (TEN) These are usually available from your local council. Find out more from www.culture.gov.uk. You will also need to ensure your event is covered by Public Liability Insurance.
It sounds obvious, but don't forget - sufficient waterproofing for all your electrical gear is essential. Don't stand anything electrical or valuable directly on the ground to avoid puddles forming unexpectedly and causing damage. Make sure everything is well tied down in case of high winds. Please make sure you complete a risk assessment for your event.
Yes, on the proviso that the venue you're using does not hold a licence for over 18s only. You must be 18 to sign up as an event organiser for Oxjam. If you want to be an Oxjam Gig Maker and you are under 18, we recommend you ask a parent or guardian to sign up on your behalf.
It is important that whenever approaching a venue you ask if there are any age restrictions. Usually venues are over 18s only, some venues have an over 14 or over 16 licence, or can obtain one for special events. 14-17 year-olds MUST be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Yes, although we don't recommend this for the following reasons:
The Oxjam central team won't be able to support you and all of the advice that we provide (especially on the legal side) is only relevant for the UK. Also only UK events will benefit from our promotion and national exposure.
Oxjam is all about local music, global impact. Please don't contact big name artists for your event. This is for the following reasons:
From January 2013 onwards you'll be able to register as an organiser on the Oxjam website and receive your Oxjam toolkit, which is full of helpful advice on how to promote your event.
It's never too soon to start promoting your event. Get your artists and venues to promote to their networks, use social media, and never understand the power of word of mouth promotion! And don't forget to list your event on the Oxjam website so that gig goers in your area can find out all about it.
The thing that makes Oxjam events so great is that they are organised by extraordinary volunteers like you, which means your event can be whatever you want it to be. Although our regional Oxjam teams of staff and volunteers are there to support you every step of the way, the responsibility of the event is yours.
Once you've signed up as an organiser you'll receive your Oxjam Gig Maker toolkit, which is full of helpful advice. Plus you'll gain access to our online resources to help you plan and promote your even when you log into the backstage area of the website. You can find the contact details of your regional team here.
Yes of course you can approach your local shop.
Please be aware although shop staff they are employed by or volunteer for Oxfam and are very busy, so they may not always have time to help. Having said that, many of our shops have helped teams and organisers put on brilliant events, and some shops even put their own on. Our Dalston, Manchester and Glasgow shops have also hosted high profile media launch events for Oxjam, so if you don't ask you don't get! You can find your local shop here.
Register as a Gig Maker and you'll receive your Gig Maker toolkit, which is full of helpful advice. Once you have created your account you will be able to gain access to our online resources via the backstage area to help you plan and promote your event. These resources include template posters, sample venue and artist contracts and Oxjam logos. Once you have listed your event on our website, you will receive extra materials (paper banners, cardboard collection boxes and
stickers) to make sure your event has the Oxjam vibe.
If you can't find what you need, get in touch. Email: email@example.com, or phone us on 0300 200 1255.
The best Oxjam events often hold fundraising activities before as well as during their events. The best advice we can offer is to keep it simple and keep your costs down. See if there are any local events that you can piggy back on ahead of the event. Or ask the venue if you can have a percentage of the bar takings or run the cloakroom on the night to really boost your total.
There are loads of fundraising tips in your Gig Maker toolkit. If you haven't registered for one you can do so here.
For extra fundraising tips, visit the fundraising section of our website.
Once you register as a Gig Maker you'll receive your toolkit, which is full of helpful advice on how to promote your event. Remember that it's never too soon to start promoting your event. Get your artists and venues to promote to their networks, use social media to invite all your contacts and post regular tweets. Never underestimate the power of word of mouth promotion and don't forget to list your event on the Oxjam website so that gig goers in your area can find out
all about it.
Paying in online is by far the quickest and easiest method.
You can also pay in by cheque by completing the paying in form and sending it to Oxjam HQ. You may also wish to look into setting up an e-fundraising page as this is a great way to get people to sponsor your event.
It is possible to pay in by an Oxfam shop but it is very hard for us to track the payment and therefore, send you a thank you. If you do pay in by a shop, please make sure you complete the paying in form.
Putting on an Oxjam event is a challenge and we try to help as much as possible with training and resources to make your event a success. We recognise that some events make more, and some make less than their initial fundraising target. It isn't a problem not to meet your target and Oxfam is grateful for all the money that you do raise.
Sometimes it just isn't possible to go ahead with your event. We ask that you let us know and remove your event from the listings and any social networking sites. We also recommend that you offer to refund any tickets. Email: email@example.com, or phone us on 0300 200 1255.
Oxjam event organisers have different methods for selling tickets. Some will choose to sell their tickets through our partner WeGotTickets. You can also use our online map to locate local venues that will be able to advise you further on how to purchase tickets. The online map will be on our website as soon as Gig Makers begin to list their events.
We are here to help! Email: firstname.lastname@example.com, or phone us on 0300 200 1255.

Ratings & Reviews
In this comedy, Paul Muni plays a recently murdered gangster who finds himself roasting in Hell. Muni can't believe that he's in for All Eternity and keeps trying to "bust out," which brings him to the attention of the Head Man (Claude Rains), who calls himself Nick. Nick strikes a bargain with Muni: There's a troublesome honest judge on Earth who's been shipping too many souls to Hell; if Muni will take over the judge's body and begin performing bad deeds, Nick will set him free. Muni readily agrees, eager to settle the score with the ex-partner (Hardie Albright) who bumped him off. Once he "becomes" the judge, however, Muni discovers that he is utterly incapable of performing any misdeeds--and when he falls in love with the judge's fiancee (Anne Baxter), Muni becomes determined to wriggle out of his agreement. Angel on My Shoulder is based on a story by Harry Segall, whose previous play Heaven Can Wait was filmed as Here Comes Mr. Jordan, also with Claude Rains. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

What does a mad God do with His anger?
One of the biggest fallacies taught about God is that He doesn't get angry at people.
Wanna bet?
Ever hear of a flood that wiped out all human beings except one family? God was mad! He was mad at the sinfulness of humanity, to the point that He regretted making mankind:
"5 The Lord observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and he saw that everything they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil. 6 So the Lord was sorry he had ever made them and put them on the earth. It broke his heart. 7 And the Lord said, 'I will wipe this human race I have created from the face of the earth. Yes, and I will destroy every living thing—all the people, the large animals, the small animals that scurry along the ground, and even the birds of the sky. I am sorry I ever made them'," Genesis 6:5-7.
But, true to His gracious character, God's anger showed its righteousness in containing mercy:
"But Noah found favor with the Lord," Genesis 6:8.
The favor God extended to Noah was His means of extending another chance to humanity. But God is not meek toward sin. Look closely at Psalm 7:11:
"God is an honest judge. He is angry with the wicked every day."
God has a z-e-r-o tolerance for sin. Sin makes Him angry! Kind of like the parent who grows angry with the persistent, willful disobedience of an arrogant child.
But before you think of God's anger being something similar to our road rage, with a great celestial being hurling lightning bolts at "bad people," remember this:
"Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires," James 1:20.
Our anger is often not what could be described as "righteous indignation." But God can be angry and righteous. In fact, God "dealt with" His anger in order to extend to us the means of becoming righteous. Check this out:
"9 By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins," 1 John 4:9-10 (NASB).
From the first humans in the Garden of Eden, all the way to you and me, God has been the brunt of willful sin throughout human history. It's enough to make even God mad! And He was angry at sin.
Do you know what He did with it?
He used Christ on the cross as the dumping ground for His anger. All the wrath that God had toward our sin was dumped on Christ as He hung dying as a sacrifice --- a "propitiation" --- for our sin.
I had to go back to the New American Standard version to have a Bible translation that has the word "propitiation" in it; most modern versions have replaced that word with "sacrifice" or a definition of the term.
But it's a word every Christian should know and cherish!
To be a propitiation for our sin addresses two things: a place where wrath is poured out, and this is done to accomplish a reconciling. When wrath is removed, there can then be reconciliation.
In order to be reconciled to God, His wrath toward humanity's sin had to be addressed. As Christ bore the sins of us all on the cross, He also took upon Himself the wrath God had toward our sin!
Jesus truly --- truly --- bore it all!
God's anger toward sin is settled at the cross, through Christ who was sent to be the propitiation for our sin.
The next time you're prone to get a little angry, just think of the wrath Christ bore on our behalf from a God who was angry at sin. Maybe it will help you contain your anger to righteous indignation ... and be very grateful.

Amen, both of you! When I think of Christ being the propitiation, it deepens and broadens His great sacrifice for us!ReplyDelete
