Marketing basics
In the following article we will be discussing Marketing basics. Starting a home business is just a cake walk but finding customers for home business required a thorough knowledge of marketing basics as well as skill and diligence. As a home business owner usually operates on a small-scale budget it is essential that you find out the right target audience and make an organized and concerned effort to woo that target audience. Check out some of the marketing basics for home businesses.
When you start off with an online business or a home based business you don't have enough investment capital as a business conglomerate has to market your products. That's why the marketing basics for small home based business consists more of innovative, ingenious and economical marketing ideas rather than grand marketing campaigns and strategies which requires huge capital investment.
Woo the media with press releases
Different type of online business has opened up new vistas for people who are in the look out for jobs from home. That's why list of online business doesn't really end here. Renowned business corporations and manufacturing companies invest exorbitant amounts of money on their Research and Development team to examine the commercial viability of their newly launched products. However, they also need real life consumers to provide valued inputs too and that is where you come into the picture. You can get paid just to fill out online forms of paid surveys. Thus you can turn online data entry or paid survey into a profitable online business.
A Home business or small online business should also use optimal use of covert sales techniques for Guerilla marketing rather than more aggressive marketing through advertisements, flyers etc. That is why you should try to give some physiological triggers or stimulus like free gifts or downloadable coupons to lure people to you online business website rather be a cheesy sales man and nag them to buy your products through marketing e-mails and newsletters. This is one of the key marketing basics for a home based business and essential feature of Guerilla Marketing.
You should remember that customers react more to gentle pushes rather than harsh shoves. So, if they feel that you are being presumptive and telling them which products to buy it might rub the wrong way rather than prod them into gathering information or buying your product. You can provide these subtle psychological trigger or allure to find out and buy your products or services through marketing e-mails and newsletters which you can send regularly to your existing customer based or prospective customers.
Another recent method of marketing your business is through the social networking and business networking sites. These website enable you to uphold key information about your online business internet business without spending oodles of money. The most famous business network in the world is perhaps Linkeldn which boasts of 1.5 million users. Other upcoming business networks which have grabbed people's attention are sites like APense.com and Plaxo.
Since a wide array of business houses are enlisted with these websites you can zero on those professional who might be of help to your business or be prospective customers. For example if you want to carve a niche as a graphics designer you can get in touch with website designing companies through these business websites. Social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter also enable you to have huge band of follower from your niche audience and you can gradually use these Twitter of face book acquaintance to carve out a band of loyal customers for your business.
Marketing collaterals like brochures and white papers
If you want to learn the marketing basics for a home business then you can't leave out the marketing communication materials which provide detailed and sometime technical information about a business to its prospective customers. These marketing collaterals or communication materials include brochures, data sheets and white papers which a are more informative and detailed than newsletters and contain facts your products, the state of the art technology behind them and the unique selling point of your products or services.

The organic, clean eating movement has well and truly taken over the trendy café spots in Sydney, Australia. Walk down Campbell Parade in Bondi, Queen Street in Woollahra, Darling Street in Balmain and Market Lane in Manly, healthy living cafés dot the side walks with yogis, yummy mummys, surfers, hipsters and vegans vying for the best seats in the house. To be honest, it can get a little tiring and overwhelming jostling through the stylish crowd to get a quiet table and enjoy a clean, healthy meal in peace and quiet. It wasn't until recently when my friend, who has just embarked on a 30 day healthy challenge, told me about a new organic café which has slipped into the clean living scene without fuss. My curiosity was high.
Already boasting fans by way of healthy living leaders trainer Luke Hines, Wellness Warrior Jess Ainscough and Path to Wellness blogger Melissa Ambrosini, I couldn't handle listening to my friend tell me about the almond pancakes again and again – I was drooling every time she regaled her breakfast choice ingredient by ingredient, so I simply had to get down there myself.
For those travelling by car, here's my tip. Parking around the area is limited. It's mostly 30 minute ticketed parking, which is not ideal for those of us who love long, long brunches and lunches. There is two hour parking around the corner of Mill Hill Road and Ebley Street in Bondi Junction. Failing that, I recommend parking in Westfield Bondi Junction or East Gate and walk down.
The entrance to Henley's is totally unassuming – and I love it. From Oxford St walk into a little shopping precinct and down the stairs. There you will find Snap Fitness to your left and Henley's Wholefoods just a couple of shops up. Sitting down at a comforting bench seat, the wait staff kindly hand over the menu and as I look around I am immediately struck by two things – the hipsters have not overtaken this clean eating café, and the menu is mind blowing, to say the least.
The interior is fresh, clean and tiled white with an exposed ceiling, also white. Tropical palm cuttings, plants and flowers are placed around the tables, with tall green glass water jugs, small Botanica mason jars and crushed sea salt in circular mini trays nestled cosily on each table.
Feasting my eyes on the menu, it's obvious the owner Sophie Henley, pays a very strong focus on nourishing her customers with honest, organic, clean food straight from local growers. There was only one problem – figuring out what I wanted to order because, simply, I wanted to eat everything!
After much debate, my friend and I chose the following sweet and savoury options with a delicious juice each to cleanse the palate after what can only be described as the best breakfast I've eaten in my entire life. And if you read Mr Weekender, then you'll know how important colourful food is to me - and Henley's Wholefoods have this nailed.
DRINK Botanica Press Juice: Kale, spinach, celery, cucumber, green apple and lemon juice served in a take home mason jar Fresh Coconut: Served with a straw to sip on the juice and a spoon to dig out the flesh – my favourite!
EAT Weekly Special: Sweet potato rostie served with lamb sausages, a side of tomato and pepper chutney finished off with an oozing poached egg on top Maca Charged Hotcakes: Almond meal hotcakes, caramelised banana, nutty and chia crumble, maple syrup and coconut yoghurt Smashed Toast: Avocado, mint and olive oil on toast
Henley's Wholefoods is open seven days a week, and offers breakfast, lunch and pre-packaged dinners. There is a whole range of clean desserts to choose from, and the menu changes on a weekly basis.
Henley's Wholefoods 9/310-330 Oxford St Bondi Junction, Sydney Australia 2022 Ph: +61 (2) 9387 7733 www.facebook.com/henleyswholefoods

Rescuers struggle to find survivors from capsized ship in China's Yangtze River – CNN
Jianli County, China (CNN)More than a day and a half after a cruise ship carrying more than 450 people capsized in China's Yangtze River, rescuers are struggling to find survivors.
The vast majority of the people who were on board the ship remained missing Wednesday, leaving their families anxiously waiting for news.
Fifteen survivors have been rescued, according to the Chinese Transportation Ministry. Eighteen dead bodies have been recovered, state media reported.
That leaves more than 420 people, many of them in their 60s and 70s, still unaccounted for in China's longest river.
The ship, the Eastern Star, capsized late Monday during a storm along the section of the Yangtze that flows through Jianli County in central China's Hubei province. The captain and the chief engineer have been taken into police custody for questioning, according to authorities.
Combing the river
Rescue workers scouring the polluted, sediment-laden waters of the Yangtze are focusing on three key tasks, state media reported Wednesday.
One team is trying to cut open the part of the upended ship's hull that's sticking out of the water. Another is delving into the muddy river to search compartments inside the submerged portion of the ship. And a third is looking along the Yangtze for people who got swept away by currents.
A diver who found somebody alive Tuesday stressed the lack of visibility inside the wreck.
"I swam back and forth three times. And by the third time, I felt somebody was there above me," Gwan Dong told Chinese state-run broadcaster CCTV. "As soon as I got out of the water, I noticed the trapped victim, it was pitch dark with just him inside the cabin, and nobody else."
Experts said the divers face a difficult and dangerous challenge.
"Just trying to get into the vessel is going to be difficult and let alone trying to explore the ship," Capt. Gregg Baumann, director of diving for the U.S. Navy, told CNN. "And for divers who've probably never been in the ship before, going into the ship for the first time, and you can't see. You're going in hand over hand."
Survivor: Ship went over quickly
Details have emerged of the terrifying situation on the river as the ship ran into trouble Monday night.
Most of the passengers on the Eastern Star had gone to bed when a violent storm struck and rain pounded the windows with such force that water seeped into the cabins, survivor Zhang Hui told China's official news agency Xinhua.
The ship overturned so quickly that Zhang, a tour guide from Shanghai, had only had 30 seconds to grab a life jacket and get out of his cabin, he said.
The captain and chief engineer have both reported the vessel was hit by a tornado. And the China Meteorological Administration said a tornado less than 1 kilometer in diameter and lasting 15 to 20 minutes occurred around the time the ship capsized, according to state media.
Satellite information from a website run by the Transportation Ministry shows the ship suddenly changing direction a matter of minutes before authorities say it sank.
It wasn't clear what caused the ship to start moving downstream rather than upstream. It's possible that the change in direction came after the ship was left disabled and drifting by the storm.
There has been confusion over the exact number of people on board the ship went it sank. Citing authorities, state media have reported totals of both 456 and 458 over the course of Tuesday and Wednesday.

Every time I visit my mother's house, I get the tour of the garden and plants. She shows me which have been repotted, which have started to bloom, and which, sadly, have seen better days. There are almost always new acquisitions as well. These plants need constant vigilance. They don't take care of themselves. When my mother is away, I receive detailed instructions on the horticultural maintenance of the house. There are different measurements of water for each of these green friends and one flower, the orchid, has its own food measured out a 1/4 cup at a time. Of course, I also have to be careful to distinguish the real plants from the fake. I've watered plastic more times than I'd like to admit.
Gardening is rich with spiritual parallels. Both our first reading and our Gospel this weekend take up the image of a vineyard. In the Prophet Isaiah, we hear God speak of his people Israel as a vineyard he himself planted: "he spaded it, cleared it of stones, and planted the choicest vines." Settling them in the Promised Land, clearing away their enemies, God expected abundant fruit from his chosen people, "but what it yielded was wild grapes." As a result, he let it go to ruin: "take way its hedge, give it to grazing, break through its wall, let it be trampled!" This foreshadows the invasions and eventual exile that will befall Israel. In the Gospel, Jesus makes a clear allusion to this passage in Isaiah, using the same image of the vineyard to crushing effect: "the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that will produce its fruit."
The soul is like soil. Whatever we plant in it will grow, either for good or evil (Gal 6:8). Like God with his vineyard, we need to clear the soil of stones, set up a hedge and attend to the vines. Like plants, the soul requires vigilance. Good advice for a healthy interior garden is found in St. Paul this weekend: "whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think on these things." Focusing the mind on such things is like setting stones in a wall around our interior life. They provide protection from the weeds and vermin. Clearing out all the junk and nourishing the soul with what is true, just and lovely ensures a choice crop. But we can't rely on our own strength. As a farmer looks for rain, so "in everything,...with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God." That is the true Miracle-Gro.

The calorie count in half an avocado depends on the type and size. California avocados have a dark-green, bumpy peel, and are small enough to hold in the palm of your hand. Florida avocados are larger with a light-green, almost smooth skin.
Although avocados are higher in calories than most fruits, they can still be part of a healthy diet when consumed in moderation. Find out more about the nutrition breakdown of avocados by using a calorie counter.
Total Calories
Although Florida avocados are the larger of the two types typically found in stores, they have fewer calories per gram. According to LIVESTRONG's calorie tracker MyPlate, half of a Florida avocado has 183 calories, along with 15.29 grams of fat, 11.89 grams of carbohydrates and 3.39 grams of protein.
Half of a California avocado, on the other hand, has 114 calories, 10.48 grams of fat, 5.88 grams of carbohydrates and 1.34 grams of protein.
The United States Department of Agriculture website confirms these numbers, getting a little more technical with weight measurements. You can expect the above numbers for half of a Florida avocado weighing in at 152 grams or half of a California avocado weighing in at 68 grams.
Avocados are a high-calorie, high-fat food, but they offer 20 different vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. The mono- and polyunsaturated fats found in avocados make them a heart-healthy replacement for butter, margarine and other foods containing trans- and saturated fats. Avocados are also sodium- and cholesterol-free.
According to Healthline.com, avocados contain more potassium than bananas, as well as important antioxidants for eye health. They are also a weight loss friendly food, providing a feeling of satiety for a longer period of time than if you consume a meal without avocado.

The free LIVESTRONG MyPlate calorie tracker app for iPhone and Android has helped millions of people lose weight the healthy way — by getting support from an active community as they track their eating and exercise. Consistently a top-rated app, MyPlate offers the latest technology in an easy-to-use tool that includes millions of foods and recipes, 5-minute in-app workouts and a robust support community.

Last year we had been closely following Surfer Blood's story, hoping and wishing for the best, and as a band that we would listen to, we almost selfishly wished to see them continue, not knowing how each individual was truly feeling. After Thomas', the lead guitarists death, we once again could only turn to wishes and hopes. Then earlier this year, the band releases a record, Snowdania, and we honestly couldn't be happier. To see a group grow after such an incident is a truly inspiring story.
We now had the chance to catch up with JP from Surfer Blood and happily talk about the band.
Hello, JP?
Hey, How's it going?
Good! It's Sergio from Buried Muse.
Yes, I was expecting your call.
Perfect! Thank you for taking your time to have this conversation with me by the way.
Oh, no problem man. Thank you.
How's your day so far?
Pretty good. Just at home right now. Going to be starting our tour a little less than a week from today. Getting ready. Enjoying some time at home before it starts.
Right. Tour starts the beginning of august?
Yeah, it's about 3 weeks long. Up and down the east coast and a few dates in Canada too.
I imagine touring can get a little repetitive at times. Do you guys take detours or pit stops? I noticed you all like the great outdoors, so I'm curious to see what you do in between shows. Especially when traversing the east coast.
Well, we've been trying. It's hard. By the time we break down equipment and sell all our merch, we get out of the venue around 2 or 3 in the morning so It's hard to get up in the morning. Recently, we've been good about it. Especially the last two tours. We went to the White Sands in New Mexico. Saw the Arches in Utah. Since we were out west we got to visit a lot of National Parks. This tour we're playing more beachy towns where people are there on summer vacation, like cape cod and Virginia beach. That should be very appropriate for a band called Surfer Blood.
Haha I ask because we really like the outdoors and we make sure we go out on a camping trip at least once a month, so we're always seeking out the next water hole.
For bands that are just starting to get busy and touring for the first time, is there anything you would advise? Maybe something you wish you knew?
Let me think. I think Ian Mckay? (correct me here) said drink plenty of water. That's true, but not too much because you don't want to stop and pee all the time. So, drink just enough. Never go through a drive thru with your band because you think no one's going to have the exact change unless you have a cash app like venmo, but if you don't, totally don't do it.
Always bring a backup snare drum, amp, and guitar string. You think you'll find a local music store in whatever town you're playing in but it won't be as easy you think. Nothing will be as easy as you think it is.
I appreciate that because I feel like those are things people don't really think about, especially a young band and it can definitely snowball into bigger problems. I also guess it is nice to learn from experiences and find out the hard way, but also I think people might be looking for others experiences who already dealt with these issues.
Yeah, It's always nice to have someone in the band who has a type A personality, always plans ahead, and thinks 3 days in advance. Unfortunately our band doesn't have a single person with that trait, so we're very good a scrambling and leaving things for the last minute, which is actually a great life skill to have.
We also noticed that surfer blood toured with Guided by Voices. They're pretty up there. How did that relationship come to be?
Ah well, we've been fortunate to play a few shows together through the years. I guess we must have won them over at some point. Which is great for us. I mean that's one of my favorite bands of all time and they were really important to me while I was growing up. Getting the opportunity to play in a show with them, a band that was always legendary to me, is extremely gratifying in life. They've been a band for most of my life and sometimes I consider myself a veteran being someone who's been putting out records and touring for 7 years now, but they've been doing this for 25 plus years. That's real dedication and it's inspiring.
I could only imagine admiring your favorite bands at such a young age and then being able to tour with them. Must be out of this world!
Absolutely man. At the end of the day those are the types of things you wouldn't trade for anything in the world. You could say those are the moments that make everything completely worth it.
Is there something that surprised you about how a big band tours? Would you say there are major differences between a band like Guided by Voices and Surfer Blood when on the road?
Things are easier when you make more money and play for more people, and this is not the case for Guided by Voices, but for whatever band; it's amazing how sheltered and almost removed bands can be from the logistics and the grind of touring. People always ask me if write on the road and the fact is when your tour managing the band and doing all the driving, selling merch, and loading and unloading, there really is no time for anything else. It's a lot of work. It feels good because it's almost honest and raw. Like if anybody asks me anything, I know the answer from the top of my head because I'm in such command of everything. But It could also be really exhausting.
One other thing that really impresses me about them is even though they are a big band and have been around forever, it's just still all of them in a van. Each person has their own set of responsibilities. The drummer collects the money at the end of the night. The bassist settles with the merch. They manage to keep it diy despite being legends in the minds of people like me.
That's really surprising and almost pleasant to hear that they still work that way. Speaking so much about touring. What are the reactions you've been receiving while playing songs from the new album Snowdonia?
So far, I think the reaction has been great. It's an album that we take a lot of chances, writing songs that are not typical Surfer Blood songs. Even the order we chose to release them has been almost unconventional. The fact that people have reacted so positively to it and weren't completely weirded out, is really awesome. I tend to record a lot of overdubs and other things that I would never be able to pull off live. For this album I was really thinking about keeping it simple, not the songs, but keeping the arrangements simple enough that they were able to pull off live and there wasn't so much that you would miss if you saw us play live in a small club. The songs are a little more straightforward and more fun to play live. I think that's also a big part of the reason people have responded so well and so quickly.
That's great to hear. We really love the record and actually, one of our favorite tracks is "Taking Care of Eddy". The music video is very interesting. Where did you all draw inspiration for that video? Any anime fans by any chance?
I dabble in anime. If you start talking shop with me I can't say too much about it, but I leave that in the capable hands of our friend Niko Guardia who is someone else I went to highschool with. I was a senior and he was a freshman at the time. We sat together in a art history class and we kept in touch ever since. He's someone who animated for adult swim shows so he is very good at animation, and when he said he wanted to do a video for taking care of eddy, I was pretty much like "do whatever you want" and he didn't disappoint. It's really cool and I know it's a lot of work. Animation is a painstaking process so I'm glad he found the time to get that done.
I feel like animation takes just as much or even more effort than live film. A lot processes that happen for just a few seconds.
About the album. I feel like most listeners have a hard time understanding or even grasping a new and especially different album when a band starts to change their sound. Luckily, in Surfer Blood's case everyone loves it, which is great to hear. What's your take on the fact that some people get stuck on old sounds and have a hard time moving on?
Well it's really hard to blame people for that. For one people have access to all the music ever made in one place. Which is really really crazy, especially since that was never the case for the people who were recording music just a decade ago. Because of that I feel like people want to put a band in a box pretty quickly. For example; surf rock and Surfer Blood. We're not only a surf rock band, there's just so much more going on and so much to stay on top of, that people sort of lose the plot after a while. Which is why I think a lot of bands keep their sound in every single album so people can immediately identify them.
It's almost a way for listeners to simplify things.
The thing is, I also write music for myself and I get bored fast so every time we make a record, I'm looking for a new angle and inevitably in the time between albums, I've heard new bands and I've been inspired by new music. As people, we're constantly evolving and growing, and I think the music should change too. We've made four LP's now and I think each one stands on it's own in it's own individual moment in time.
That's a great point that you bring up, that unlimited accessibility to music affects people. It's a very interesting take on it.
Thanks man!
Ha, of course!
Now, I hate to brings this up, but I feel like listeners and readers can use your past experiences to handle their own unfortunate moments. Last year we were following Thomas' story closely and rooting for him and hoping for the best. My condolences to you by the way.
Thank you.
How has it been recording, building the band back up, and touring after that incident?
We already recorded most of the tracks from Snowdonia before the time Thomas passed. He sorta left the band around January 2015 when he told us he was sick. He didn't announce it to the world, but we all knew that he wasn't going to be coming back. After that I kinda scrambled to find Mikey who stepped in and learned the songs on the way. The first tour without Tom, we already had 60 to 70 shows booked. So it was really crazy then. It felt like I kinda lost what the band was, almost the identity of it and in the past two years or so with Mike and Lindsey, two completely new members, we've been trying to figure out what it is, especially since half of the lineup is completely different.
I think one of the things I'm most proud about with Snowdonia is that we've managed to sorta find a new direction for the band. Kinda reinvented the sound. We're even dealing with a new set of strengths and weaknesses. A new palette you could even say.
Tom was just one of those people who was super creative and smart, who came up with ideas that I could never see, and I'm not going to pretend that is something that anyone can emulate. People could try but there's just something so unique about him.
Well, we're all super happy to hear and see that Surfer Blood is prospering and reaching new levels. It's really encouraging to hear this story!
Thank you!
We're also super happy that you all will be stopping in New York. That means that will definitely be at that show filming the set and sharing it with the world. Where is it that you're playing again?
We're playing at Cape House. Which it will be the furthest east we've ever played.
Meaning the first time in New York?
Oh no no. The first time in Bushwick specifically. We've played in New York for so many times.
Oh! For us this will be the first time we will see you live so we're really excited.
Looking forward to it!
JP. Before I head out, is there something you would like to share with the readers?
Not at the moment. We're still figuring out what's next for the band. There's a few things in the works but nothing I can bring up right now.
Gotcha! I understand. Well, thank you for having this conversation with me and taking time out of your day. We really appreciate it!
Absolutely! Thanks for the interview and I will see you in New York.
Surfer Blood's new record Snowdonia can be purchased here.

A silver tureen engraved with the crest and motto of Hay of Duns Castle, is among over 3,000 objects going on display as part of a National Museum of Scotland exhibition.
The exhibition takes place in ten major new galleries of applied art, design, fashion, science and technology opening on July 8 celebrating 150 years of the National Museum of Scotland and a £14.1 million redevelopment of the ten galleries involved in the exhibition.
The Duns Castle tureen, by Alexander Gairdner, is hallmarked Edinburgh, 1763–1764 and will be displayed in the new Art of Living Gallery, which explores European art and style from the medieval period to the mid-19th century.
Around 75% of the 3,000 objects now on display across the new galleries have not been shown for at least a generation and visitors will experience the collections like never before, with in-depth information provided through a network of digital labels, audio visual programmes, a wide range of interactive exhibits and original working machines – totalling over 150 interactive exhibits.
Gordon Rintoul, Director of National Museums Scotland, said: "These ten major new galleries aim to excite and engage our visitors both today and for generations to come."

những người hâm mộ Upset That Selena's ngôi sao On Walk of Fame Neglects Her Married Name
những từ khóa: selena, quintanilla, perez
I remember visiting this website once...
It was called Why Selena Quintanilla's Hollywood ngôi sao Doesn't Have Her Married Name
Here's some stuff I remembered seeing:
Selena Quintanilla posthumously received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last Friday, and Mayor Eric Garcetti proclaimed Nov. 3rd "Selena Day" in the city of Los Angeles. Her unveiling broke records, bringing in the largest-ever crowd —some 4,500 attendees — for a Walk of Fame ceremony. Mexican singer Vicente Fernandez's formerly held that record with the legions of fans she drew at her unveiling in 1998.
Before the event, Suzette Quintanilla, who accepted the star on her sister's behalf, gave fans a sneak peek of the construction of the 2,622nd star by posting pictures of it on Selena's Facebook fan page. "They don't give this honor to everyone, so I'm beyond honored….to be able to participate in the making of it, priceless," she captioned the set of pictures she shared.
Although fans were enthusiastic that the queen of Tex-Mex was finally getting her due on the storied sidewalk, many were surprised that it didn't reflect her married name, Perez. Selena married Chris Pérez, her guitarist, in 1992 and took his name. Some were particularly upset because they believed that the late singer would have wanted his name rendered on her plaque: "Disappointed her last name isn't on there…love that they honored her, but I would like to think that SHE would have wanted Perez on there," one fan commented. Another wrote: "Why not Selena Quintanilla Perez? I mean that WAS her name."
Suzette subtly addressed the backlash in a video she posted to Instagram by trying to clarify, albeit obliquely, why Perez was missing from the plaque: "Selena Quintanilla birth given name that the world got to know as Simply Selena will have her Hollywood Walk Of Fame Star for all to look upon and hopefully remember when I'm gone…" she captioned the video.
Morning! Well today is the day! Burning off some emotional build up. If anyone thinks this is easy for any of us, you stand to be corrected my friends.. I will stand along side my family and friends and all the super fans that continue to love her and look up to her. Selena Quintanilla birth given name that the world got to know as Simply Selena will have her Hollywood Walk Of Fame Star for all to look upon and hopefully remember when I'm gone… love you BUFFY!! Watch out world!! Today belongs to Selena and to all who love her… See all of you later at 6:30 pm in front of Capitol Records Building 💜💜💜
A post shared by Suzette SYLD Official Page (@suzettesyld) on
The family has had altercations with Perez in the past, including a lawsuit filed against him last year by Selena's father, Abraham Quintanilla, Jr., to stop production of a television program based on the their relationship that Perez was producing. A Texas judge ruled that a lawsuit filed by the father could proceed because Perez signed away the rights to Selena's likeness and name to her estate.
There have been no updates on the status of the lawsuit, but Perez has been present at the events honoring the Grammy-winner, including the unveiling of her Madame Tussaud's wax figure in Hollywood and the world premiere of MAC Selena, her cosmetics collection. He also showed up for her Hollywood Walk of Fame celebration and placed a small bouquet of white roses on her newly minted star.
The day before the long-awaited event, Perez captioned a concealed image of her plaque: "Had to stop by, give a kiss, and say, 'I'll see you tomorrow.\'"

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- The "dual market" trend, with the technology-heavy Nasdaq soaring ahead and the blue-chip Dow Jones index lagging behind, could continue for quite some time, a Bank of America fund manager says.
"There's a battle going on between productivity on one hand and inflation on the other, and between the old economy and the new economy."
"We think it's going to continue for a while," John Zimmerman, manager of the Nations Strategic Growth Fund (NSEPX), told CBS.MarketWatch.com. "The new economy, productivity, technology, will continue to dominate for the next several quarters at least."
The Nasdaq surged to another record Friday, while the Dow fell below 10,000 -- down some 16 percent from its all-time high.
"There's a battle going on between productivity on one hand and inflation on the other, and between the old economy and the new economy," Zimmerman said in an interview..
The Nations Strategic Growth Fund, managed by Zimmerman for Banc of America Capital Management, has about $720 million in assets and invests mostly in large-cap growth companies such as Microsoft MSFT, -0.09%, General Electric GE, -0.91%, Cisco Systems CSCO, -1.10% and Wal-Mart WMT, -0.89%. It gained 28 percent in 1999 but is down 3.9 percent so far this year. The fund was originally meant for institutional investors, but a new share class for individuals was opened last October, with a $1,000 minimum investment and a 5.75 percent sales load.
CBS.MW: How long can this "dual market" scenario continue?
Zimmerman: We think it's going to continue for a while.There's a battle going on between productivity on one hand and inflation on the other, and between the old economy and the new economy. The new economy, productivity, technology, will continue to dominate for the next several quarters at least.
CBS.MW: Your fund has about a 33 percent weighting in technology? How confident are you that the recent surge in technology stocks will continue?
Zimmerman: When's it going to end? We don't think it is in the near term. We are overweight technology and health care, underweight utility stocks.
CBS.MW: Tell us about your investment strategy.
Zimmerman: We're a growth fund that will outperform the index, but we're not a focused fund. We're not high risk. Our beta (a measure of volatility in relation to the rest of the stock market) is 1.01. We're extremely tax efficient -- 98.5 percent in 1999. We balance risk and return. We're down so far this year, but we're about 450 basis points over the S&P 500. We're having a relatively very good year.
CBS.MW: What are some of your recent technology stock purchases?
Zimmerman: Ciena CIEN, -0.74%, Phone.com phcm, Qualcomm QCOM, -0.52%.
If you look at price-to-earnings, Qualcomm is expensive. But if you look at its total available market, the upside is phenomenal.
CBS.MW: Why do you like health care?
Zimmerman: As people age, they reallocate their income away from houses and cars and toward health care and leisure. About $700 billion a year is now spent on prescription drugs. That number will jump to $7 trillion by 2040. We are looking at tremendous growth.
CBS.MW: What do you like within health care?
Zimmerman: The biotech companies are going to do well. But I am somewhat suspicious of some of the new biotech companies. Their technology is untested.
Between now and then you've got companies like Merck MRK, +0.41%, Pfizer PFE, +0.53% and Warner-Lambert wla whose profit is going to continue to grow.
Merck's pipeline is somewhat suspect, but it's an incredibly cheap stock, and their management is among the best, not only in the industry but in the whole economy.
CBS.MW: What other companies and industries do you like?
Zimmerman: If and when tech slows, people will be looking for other areas, and Honeywell HON, -0.34% is a company they will turn to.
Wal-Mart is a company whose stock has been really tagged in the last several months. The fundamentals are strong. The company continues to grow. And they are starting to move on the Internet. This company has figured it out every time they have run into a roadblock. And it is my belief they will again.
In the financial services area, Merrill Lynch mer looks like a tremendous opportunity. Merrill has become the one-stop shop for everything in financial services. And they are a potential takeover candidate. Chase has been rumored to take them for years, but it will probably be a foreign bank. Citigroup C, +0.20% is also extremely inexpensive.

What It's Like to Have a Bike
Bringing a bike to St. Lawrence makes sense for two reasons: the campus and the student body.
Did you know that biking makes you happier? Did you know bringing a bike to school saves an unimaginable amount of money on gas? Did you also know that you can leave an average of 5-7 minutes later for class if you have a bike to bring with you? Look it up; these facts are all true! Yes, it is convenient that all students can bring their cars to SLU and parking never comes up short, but can you drive your car from the science wing of campus to the Spartacus Café, for free? I know, we've all been there, I brought my Subaru my first year and had it on campus until it broke down last year. I continued to believe the myth that cars are the most efficient way to get around at St. Lawrence. Bikes might just be the better option. Picture Canton, New York: you can reach all the hot spots on your bike, no problem! Want to grab a loaded bagel? Catch a movie in town? Check out the rope swing? Hop on your bike for 10 minutes and you're there.
St. Lawrence has the perfect campus and student body to get the most out of bringing a bike. It is relatively flat, we've got farmland as far as the eye can see, so not much work is even required to get around if you've got a two-wheeled friend. Just let the wind take you. Secondly, being on your bike exposes you to the world of SLU students. We are outgoing and really enjoy talking. Often, I'll be biking the long way back to my room after a class or a meal and bump in to someone on the way. This often leads to a wonderfully spontaneous hangout that might not have happened if I hadn't decided to cruise around campus for a little while longer.
Promoting the use of bikes is sort of a long tradition here at St. Lawrence. Several gifts have been contributed to the SLU campus and community to encourage more students to bring one along. We've had innovation grant winners and alumni scatter bike repair stations or bike rack shelters across campus to make things more convenient for bike-owners. Can I make the choice any clearer?
What I haven't mastered yet? Riding my bike while carrying a cup of turkey chili from the Pub. If anyone can get on their bike gracefully with a coffee in their hand, let me know your secret.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said he felt extremely blessed after praying at the 125-year- old Shiva Temple in Muscat, one of the oldest in the region. Modi, who arrived here from Dubai on the last leg of his three-nation tour, visited the temple located in the Matrah area here.
"Feeling extremely blessed to pray at the Shiva temple in Muscat," the prime minister tweeted. "PM @narendramodi performed Abhishekam at the historic Lord Shiva temple at Muscat and interacted with the members of the Temple Management Committee," Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Raveesh Kumar tweeted.
The temple was constructed 125 years ago by the merchant community from Gujarat and was subsequently renovated in 1999. It has three deities—Shri Adi Motishwar Mahadev, Shri Motishwar Mahadev and Shri Hanumanji. During auspicious days more than 15,000 devotees visit the temple for prayers. The prime minister also posed for group photos with the temple administration officials and the Indian community members.
He also visited the iconic Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, the main mosque of Oman. It was inaugurated in 2001.
"Yet another Indian connection with Oman! PM @narendramodi visited the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Muscat, which is the biggest mosque in Oman. The mosque is built from 300,000 tonnes of Indian sandstone sculpted by 200 craftsmen from India!," Kumar said.

A Recap of Union Des Grand Crus de Bordeaux Tasting in SF
Last Friday's annual Union Des Grands Crus de Bordeaux tasting took place in San Francisco showing off the Grand Cru Classe wines of Bordeaux's 2010 vintage. Balzac Communications hosted the epic tasting where folks from the Chateaux in Bordeaux flew over with expensive bottles of world class wine can only happen once a year—within the first fifteen minutes you could easily taste over $1000 worth of wine.
My plan of attack was to start off with tasting a Sauternes or two, because the wines are a great aperitif in real life. Then I moved over to the St. Emilion and Pomerol side of the room where the wines are softer and I was guessing more accessible for being so young. Sure enough, I found a few gems that could be on the dinner table now, but will certainly only get better over the next 8-20 years. Not surprisingly, over on the left bank side of the room Cabernet-based wines from Paulliac, St. Julien and Margaux weren't quite as accessible and needed time.
Overall, the 2010's seemed to have better structure from a notch higher acidity than the highly acclaimed 2009 vintage. Alcohol levels seemed to be relatively similar, however, 2010 may turn out to have better consistency and lower perceived ripeness, particularly in St. Emilion where Merlot grown in clay soils side-stepped too much stress.
After moving through most of the red wines I returned to the Sauternes table conveniently located next to the cheese and fruit selection. It seemed apropos to finish with a nibble of frommage and a taste of a wine that's so much more than a dessert wine.
Some standouts and notes of the day:
The wines of Pomerol are generally softer and sexier than their left bank counterparts due to the plush expression of Merlot in ideal clay soils on the right bank. On this day, the wines of Pomerol showed best thanks to their elevated complex florals, freshness of plump fruit and lower tannins—and in 2010 it was a superb vintage with more balance and structure than 2009.
2010 Chateau Bon Pasteur - Bon Pasteaur was one of, if not THE first bottle from Bordeaux I ever bought. It was from an auction site about fifteen years ago. On this day it was a standout bringing back memories of my first "Bordeaux moment".
2010 Chateau Gazin - Fermentation in concrete vats and malolactic fermentation before oak aging only heighten the already lovely rich complex fruits. 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc fined with egg whites end up as a textbook Pomerol. One of the few Pomerol wines that needs time before it's accessible.
2010 - Chateau La Conseillante - When I was in high school I'd go to parties and see the most popular girl in school surrounded by guys trying to get her attention. That's a bit how it looked at the Conseillante table as attendees were clamoring for a taste of silky, aromatic beauty. 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc combine into a brooding, deeply colored knockout from the heart of Pomerol. As good as expected.
Other Standouts: 2010 Chateau Clinet 2010 La Croix de Gay 2010 Chateau Beauregard
St. Emilion Grand Cru
Darker colors in the glass with softer tannins and fresh ripe fruits across a wide range of styles that show chocolatey notes from Merlot and sweet tobacco notes from Cabernet Franc.
2010 Chateau Figac - In a word, delicious. One of the standouts from the entire tasting is an instant classic. Fresh, clean fruits woven together with depth and concentration and firm tannins. Final blend: 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet Franc, 30% Merlot
2010 Chateau Grand Mayne - Even Miles from Sideways could get into the 2010 Chateaux Grand Mayne. 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon come together in layers of of dark fruits and plush tannins.
2010 Chateau Pavie Macquin - One of St. Emilion's model chateaux. Generous dark ripe fruits look to have great aging potential. Rich tannins already make the wine drinkable now, but patience will reward for another 10-20 years. Final blend: 85% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon
Some other standouts: 2010 Troplong-Mondot 2010 Chateau Canon 2010 Chateau Angelus
Moving over to the left bank I thought I'd start with Margaux where a balance of Cabernet Sauvignon of Merlot give the wines elegance and depth.
2010 Chateau Lascombes - Delicious fresh dark fruits with plush tannins should age well for the next 25 years. 50% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc.
2010 Chateaux Dauzac - Depth and length, power and finesse woven together into fine fresh and earth elegance. 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot.
2010 Chateau Cantenac-Brown - Improved work in the vineyard over the past decade and an improved respect for natural practices are rewarded in the glass. 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc.
Some other standouts: 2010 Chateau Rauzan-Gassis 2010 Chateau Rauzan-Segla 2010 Chateau Malescot St.-Exupéry 2010 Chateau Giscours
Grand Cru wines from the northernmost appellation of the Haut-Medoc grown in clay soils benefitted from ideal Cabernet-ripening conditions in 2010. Increased Merlot plantings in recent years have given the wines balance and richness, but more accessibility than the wines of Pauillac.
2010 Chateau de Pez - Gravel over clay-limestone bedrock led to powerful tannins and finesse from an estate that lost its way after the 1970's but seems to have found its way back. 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot.
2010 Chateau Lafon-Rochet - 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot aged 15 months in 50% new barrels set the stage for an exciting experience with some cellar aging.
2010 Chateau Ormes de Pez - Delicious notes of sweet cassis and deep fresh dark fruits will reward with patience. 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 2 Petit Verdot.
The place boasting the most first growths in Bordeaux didn't disappoint as Mother Nature smiled down on the Cabernet Sauvignon vines in 2010. I can almost hear the sound of credit card machines working over time as collectors snatch up 2010's (assuming they didn't blow their budget on the 2009's).
2010 Clerc Milon - I once owned a magnum of 1986 Clerc Milon back when I didn't know much about wine, but used to spend my late nights scouring auction sites for wines that seemed like a good buy. The wine was superb—and I always think about that experience with an aged wine. After tasting the 2010, I might have to squirrel away another magnum as the wine will again be superb. Clean, complex dark fruits and non-fruits once again support the reputation of Clerc Milon. 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Carmenere.
2010 Pichon-Longueville-Baron - Just looking at the label is enough to put a smile on any wine lover's face. One of Bordeaux's top Chateaux didn't disappoint. 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot—clean, fresh, dense fruit with a bit of smoke will drink well with some time in the cellar.
2010 Lynch-Bages - Another good effort with layers of deep dark fruits showing off the best of what the Cabernet Sauvignon grape has to offer. 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot.
Other Standouts: 2010 Chateau Croizet-Bages 2010 Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2010 Chateau d'Armailhac
An intersection of affordability (relatively speaking) and quality. Saint-Julien is where I usually shop for hidden gems in off years as the wines represent what Bordeaux means to me. 2010 may not go into the history books as an "off" vintage, but there's still a few gems that are going in the cellar.
2010 Chateau Gloria - 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot demonstrate what Bordeaux is all about. The quintessential 'claret' brings out the best of what each grape brings to the party. Wait 5-6 years before even thinking of opening. Will start to emerge from the cocoon around 2019.
2010 Chateau Lagrange - Separate fermentations of each block help the estate fine tune their final blend. The result is a wine defined by power and elegance although the 2010 seemed to be a bit lighter in body than the 2009. Final blend was 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot and 7% Petit Verdot.
2010 Chateau Gruad-Larose - Seamlessly textured, yet fresh and brooding with fine grained tannins and a touch of smoke. 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot.
Other Standouts: 2010 Chateau Beychevelle 2010 Chateau Leoville Barton 2010 Chateau Leoville Poyferre
If there's one thing I've learned about the wines of Sauternes it's that the wines are much more than a dessert wine. The flexibility of Sauternes as a food wine is only enhanced by yet another great vintage (others to find: 2001, 2005, 2007 and 2009) where the balance of acidity and cooperation from botrytised fruit turn back the hands of time to the good old days of how Sauternes used to be.
2010 Chateau Doisy Daene - Not only one of the better known estates, but also one of the best buys of the tasting. Find it and buy it, then try not to drink it for a while—thank me later. 87% Semillon and 13% Sauvignon Blanc.
2010 Chateau Suduiraut - Exciting and vibrant with a complex nose of orchard fruits and tropical fruits. Creamy texture and exotic non-fruits 90% Semillon and 10% Sauvignon Blanc.
2010 Lafurie-Peyraguey - An estate striving to be a first growth Sauternes ferments and ages its wines in renovated air-conditioned cellars with humidity control. 90% Semillon, 8% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Muscadelle make up a rich and exotic, moderate bodied wine with balance, class and texture to spare.
Other standouts worth discovering: 2010 Chateau Coutet
Special thanks to Balzac Communications and Union Des Grands Crus de Bordeaux for hosting such a wonderful event.

This grad was ALL smiles from the moment we met her (and apparently even before we met her!). Her mom got in touch with us a few months ago, and mentioned that Morghan had been through some health struggles lately, and one thing keeping her going was that she was SO excited for her Grad photos, so much more than anything else, and that she wanted US to shoot them-no question. We were so honoured! And excited too!! We just LOVE when we meet people who are just as passionate about getting their photos taken, as we are about taking them. It just makes room for so much creativity when you're after the same goal!
Can I just say, this grad is STUNNING, a natural beauty inside & out (and yes, that's all her natural hair...I asked and admired...and coveted. hahaha).
We met Morghan and her family in their hometown of Richmound, Saskatchewan and followed them out to their Aunt & Uncle's farm. Auntie Joanne had spent so much time getting the place ready for a shoot and was such an accommodating host! THANK YOU JOANNE! Your home is beautiful! A photographer's dream! So many older barns, fences, and vintage vehicles, and even a mini forest and a beautiful pasture. It's got literally every texture and colour you'd want for a shoot.
Morghan is a natural in front of the camera, and we had so much fun making her laugh (very easy), and her and I have the same problem. It always takes a few seconds of intense inner convincing to get a serious face, but she rocked those too! I could never get my serious face down.
Props to Glen, her dad, who gave us a hand with the photos by holding the reflector, the scrim, and making his daughter laugh at all the right times. If you need a reference Glen, we've got your back. ;)
Morghan, we wish you all the best on your ventures to Lethbridge, and we are sending hugs your parents way as we can tell they're gunna miss you sooooo much!
We think you're pretty awesome. ;)
Stay Joyful,
Amanda & Matt

We're pretty excited by this number…we've been in business for 30 years as of April 1st, 2018! We celebrated this momentous occasion with a small party in the office on March 28th. To say that I was surprised was an understatement! My staff, fellow designers, builders, and clients made this day very special.
Many people asked me questions during the party so I thought I'd answer a few of them here for all of you. As I said during the party, "It's been 30 years, one day at a time!"
How did you get your start?
I began my career as a draftsman for a small electronics company and then was able to make a move to work for a residential design firm. After five years I joined Bob Webb Builders where I feel that I received my Masters Degree in construction and basically "how to build the right way". I worked briefly for another builder prior to starting RDS.
How did you choose Residential Designed Solutions as your company name?
We started out as Designed Solutions but when we incorporated there was another company with the same name so we added the "Residential" to be more descriptive.
Have you always been located where you are now?
The company began in my home study and within a year we moved into our first office on Snouffer Road. Several years later we moved into a larger office in the next building over and in 1999 we moved to our current location.
What is the best part of your job?
There are many aspects that I enjoy but I would have to say that the time I spend designing is my favorite. It's all about problem-solving, fitting the puzzle pieces together so that they make sense and the spaces flow as we meet our customers' needs and requirements.
How many homes have you designed/remodeled?
I've never stopped to count but as I think about it, it must be over 7500 projects completed to date.
Which design for a new home or remodel has been your favorite and why?
I think the best answer is "the next one". They're all "my children" to some extent so it is impossible to pick one as a favorite. The memorable projects are those where we had big challenges to overcome and projects where we broke new ground in terms of design styles.
What have you learned over the last 30 years?
The list is endless. How to run a design business, how to design to meet client needs, how to communicate better, how to be a better person and I am still constantly trying to improve in all those areas.
How do you distinguish yourself from your competitors?
Given the construction backgrounds that our design associates have, I would have to say that we speak "Builder" fluently. We understand the cost impact of various design details and how to design to a given price point. We know what adds perceived value over just additional costs.
If you could travel back 30 years, what would you tell yourself based on what you know now?
The list is endless here also but I guess the most important thing would be to just continue to focus on the clients and make sure we're meeting their needs.
We cherish our relationships with our clients, builders and all the trade people we encounter daily. We take our business and our clients' needs seriously and are honored to be part of this incredible home building profession. Thanks to all of you for letting us be a small part of your life.

Martian Terroir
Acquiring the taste for other planets.
This project portrays the endeavour of an individual making wine as if it were grown and made on Mars.
The aim is to recreate the terroir – the geophysical characteristics of a place such as soil, climate and biodiversity which can be tasted in products such as wine – based on data available about Mars. The process of constructing this terroir consists of a series of simulations of Martian conditions – light cycles, light composition, soil, and clay – that are used as the basis for speculations about the taste and aroma that such a wine might have.
The project is inspired by both the aesthetics of remote sensing – some of the most advanced technologies on earth that bring us images and data from remote corners of the galaxy; and by the knowhow of some of the oldest crafts involved in wine-making which are still used today in remote parts of the world. At a time of much talk about sending humans to live on Mars, this project aims to playfully raise questions such as how everyday products might taste on another planet, would we need to create new categories for those sensations, and what skills, even crafts would these pioneering humans have to learn to survive off the terrestrial grid.

Hermann Otto Hirschfeld Lecture Series 2012
12-13 October, 2012
Weierstrass-Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics
Mohrenstraße 39
D-10117 Berlin
The Lecture Series is named after a remarkable German American scientist Hermann Otto Hirschfeld (H. O. Hartley or shortly known as HOH). After starting his academic career in Germany, he immigrated to England. Later on in 1953 he became Visiting Research Professor at Iowa State College (today: Iowa State University). As a brilliant statistician he was the 74th president of the ASA (American Statistical Association). He had a lot of earnings in establishing statistics as an important scientific area at American universities.
In 1963 he founded Texas A&M University's Institute of Statistics. At that time Texas A&M had no formal statistical effort.
In this spirit the Hermann Otto Hirschfeld Lectures at Humboldt-University are given in memory of an excellent scientist and an advocate of quantitative methods since 2003.

Pig Print
Pig Print
29.00 40.00
Here is BloozChicken's take on the Embrace series. His style has a lot of fans and we love what he created; a beautiful four-colour epitome of love.
We've had this printed by Make Ready, who are one of the UK's finest silk-screen printers. They've chosen a 410gsm cotton paper from St Cuthberts Mill with a deckled edge.
It's available as a print to frame yourself, in which case we recommend a 50x50cm frame to give it some space to sit in.
If you'd like to buy it framed, hold tight, this will be available by early November. It's going to be done by We Are Facility in Dalston, who will be float mounting it, to make the most of the paper and will have the girl and the pig really shine.

The hugely talented Mr Moss is back again with a new album, an instrumental compilation of jazz, swing and ballad arrangements for the ukulele with a traditional Hawaiian aroma and a smattering of delicate accompaniment.
Intriguingly both tracks one and eleven bookend the album with a medley. The album starts us off with a creamy combination of Lullaby Of Birdland and Satin Doll and packs together Whispering, Lady Be Good, Sin To Tell A Lie, I'll See You In My Dreams, Yes Sir That's My Baby and Sunrise into a lightening masterclass of traditional favourites at the end with all the clever strumming they require. Indeed this melding madness continues in other track selections too including Feelings fusing with Solitaire closely followed by another potent assemblage of standards.
By the forth track things become a little simpler yet perhaps even more captivating with a glorious rendition of Cavatina where a drum track starts to make an appearance which becomes even more apparent and indeed I would argue necessary to carry along the rhythm of Ipanema and My Blue Heaven / All Of Me (yes dear reader another magnificent mingling).
I am always excited to see the word Smeck crop up on a track-list as I feel anyone who attempts to carry off his music must have some competent expertise to even consider a song spawned from the master. Pete delivers spectacularly of course with a wizardly performance of Magic Ukulele Waltz.
You're probably aware by now I'm very fond of this album for it is a highly enjoyable collection of true ukulele music, skilfully played and expertly arranged, its feet firmly in the traditional with an abundance of style. Wonderful World cements this perfectly for me, a version that could perhaps be thought of as perfectly nimble as it swings us gently along with its wistful bass.
I find my mind contemplates the style and feel of "True Colours" with the legendary Lyle Ritz and that is not praise I offer lightly. Impressed then I am with this delightfully mellow collection of tunes that should adorn the CD collection of all ukulele fans, ready to be picked out whenever a little relaxation is needed to combat life's stresses big and small. Is is both sensational and soothing, and that is a victorious combination.
Check out Pete on the Pete Moss website. There are also videos aplenty available on YouTube. Oh, and just to be clear, this Pete Moss is in no way affiliated with the contentious United Kingdom Ukulele Orchestra… that's a different fella altogether!
