There's something inherently sad about a truck full of delicious Krispy Kreme doughnuts destroyed in a fire.
That's what a group of police officers from Lexington, Kentucky thought when they posted a funny tweet showing their reaction to a burnt truck from the popular doughnut chain. The caption next to the photos showing sad officers said simply "no words" with a crying emoji.

The 2014 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival is upon us. North America's largest Documentary festival is about to take over Toronto, showcasing some of the best documentaries from around the globe at ten venues across our fair city. With over 200 wonderful feature length and short documentaries to choose from, you certainly won't be disappointed.
This year's festival plays host to a series of diverse films, highlighting themes of love and relationships, addiction, crime, fashion, gender and sexuality, just to name a few. This year's Made In program will turn its gaze towards Denmark, showcasing six films that exemplify the region's outstanding contribution to non-fiction cinema. The Next program returns to the festival with an eye for the arts, creativity and pop culture, while new program Love, Factually celebrates love, passion, and matters of the heart.
Hot Docs' 21st year starts this Thursday, April 24th, with The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz, and continues until May 4th with a wide array of exceptional documentary film that simply mustbe seen. Don't miss out, and be sure to grab your tickets fast. For a thorough breakdown of what's coming this year, be sure to take a look at Bob Turnbull's preview article on the festival.
The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz
Director: Brian Knappenberger
Program: Special Presentations
Run Time: 105 minutes
A revolutionary mind from a young age, Aaron Swartz had changed the way we think of the Internet before most people finish college. One of the leading Internet activists, he was at the forefront of the SOPA and PIPA victories of 2012. He stood for the public's right to information, the freedom of the public domain, and to change the laws that infringe upon the public's ability to gain access to knowledge guarded firmly by the ivory towers of commerce. Flooded with a sea of felony charges, the government sought to build a case against Swartz, admittedly to make an example of him for future generations of criminal hackers. Eventually, the pressure and anxiety became too overwhelming, and Swartz took his own life. The Internet's Own Boy is about his legacy, his hopes and dreams for the future of communication and the communal nature of knowledge, and his life's work to create a better place for us all to learn and grow together.
Hugely informative, Brian Knappenberger has created a talking head documentary that wastes absolutely no time on frivolity. At 105 minutes, The Internet's Own Boy is full of significant, revelatory content. Through beautiful infographics, interviews with Swartz's family, friends, and coworkers, a very intricate picture unfolds. While the message is clear, and Swartz's intent was unquestionably benevolent, there is a sense that the moral ambiguity of hacking isn't fully addressed. However, there is a larger dialogue taking place.
The Internet's Own Boy tells Swartz's story beautifully. Intricately articulating the flaws in the system, the cogs that form it, the areas for change and growth, and the brick walls that stand in the way of progress, this is certainly one of the most comprehensive films at Hot Docs this year, and is definitely a must-see for all attending.
On April 30th, The Internet's Own Boy will be a part of Hot Docs' Big Ideas series. Best-selling author Cory Doctorow, Harvard law professor Lawrence Lessig and hacker-culture expert Gabriella Coleman will be in attendance for a live conversation following the film about the its critical issues of free speech, copyright and ownership in the Internet age.

112 Weddings
Director: Doug Block
Program: Love, Factually
Run Time: 92 minutes
Doug Block's heartfelt documentary 112 Weddings begs the question "what happens after 'I Do'?" and demands answers. A documentary filmmaker by trade, as a younger man, Block had to pay the bills. To do so, and fund his passion, he became a wedding videographer. For over twenty years, this is how Block supported himself. Now that enough time has passed, he's taken an interest in the aftermath of these bonds he's formed with budding couples. He traces back through some of his most memorable weddings, contacting the couples and requesting interviews. Some are still together, while others have parted ways, and only a few agree to speak to him. Shot in conjunction with a new couple entering matrimony, the film delicately juxtaposes the sometimes painful reality of life after the wedding with the hopeful earnestness most have going into wedlock.
A truly beautiful film, what's most remarkable about 112 Weddings is that it manages to avoid becoming preachy. There are no preconceived notions of marriage; no lectures on the Dos and Do-Nots, no rules or regulations. Out of the eight couples who agreed to be interviewed, we see every manner of pain, joy, and placidity imaginable. We witness the human condition as it either overcomes obstacles or surrenders to the reality behind our expectations of love and marriage. What we're left with are the touching portraits of ordinary people. No mystery, no secrets, and no tricks. Just life beautifully told.

Stream of Love
Director: Ágnes Sós
Program: Love, Factually
Run Time: 70 minutes
In youth, we think we have all of the answers. We presume to know everything about life, love, sex, and the world. We should know better. With age comes experience, and with experience comes expertise. Stream of Love chronicles the taboo topic of sex in a small Hungarian-speaking Transylvanian town rife with experienced octogenarians, and the titillating stories they tell.
Ferencz wanders this tiny little village in Transylvania, sitting perched atop his horse-drawn carriage. He is a widower, seeking the company of one of the 25 widows in town. But only one or two are worthwhile, evidently. Enter Veronka, Rozál, Tercsi, Erzsi, and Jula. Presumably some of the best available women in town, these five ladies candidly share their experience of marriage, love, and sex. Filmed over the course of three years, director Ágnes Sós gradually earned their trust. Consequently, they vulnerably bear their souls and their secrets for the camera in a sweet and touching portrayal of rural Eastern European life.
Sós has managed to capture some startlingly candid sentiments on love and sex. Thanks largely to the amount of time she spent with her subjects, the dialogue is natural, and unflinchingly honest. It sheds an unapologetic light on both the pleasures and disappointments of sex, while clearly highlighting the otherworldly approach to life found in small traditional towns. As if caught in a time warp, these women carry us through their experiences: their joy, their pain, and their shocking admissions of guilt. Although it's perhaps ten minutes too long, Stream of Love is a film overflowing with the life and joy that only comes from a life well lived.

Four Letters Apart: Children in the Age of ADHD
Director: Erlend E. Mo
Program: Made In Denmark
Run Time: 87 minutes
Focusing on three children at a special school in Denmark, Erlend E. Mo's piercing documentary takes a very serious look at the rampant ADHD diagnoses in Europe. Victor, Martine and Marino have all been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, in spite of having drastically different symptoms and circumstances. Victor is always angry, and can't seem to explain or understand why. He hates his ADHD diagnosis, and gets frustrated, thinking it has something to do with his club feet. Martine is an easily overwhelmed little girl, who struggles with rage and is increasingly withdrawn, evading physical contact with anyone, including her parents. Marino is emotionally distraught, and often keeps to himself. When provoked, however, he quickly turns aggressive. Over the course of a year, they're taken off Ritalin, and instead subjected to an alternative treatment that focuses specifically on the needs and characteristics of each child.
While the film focuses on Denmark, and Europe in general, this extensive problem stretches across the pond. Teachers struggle every day to control increasingly unwieldy children, and parents are perpetually frustrated, turning to medical diagnoses to try and explain their children's behaviour. Perhaps it's over crowded classrooms due to poor funding, or simply a parenting issue. That is not a judgment this film attempts to make.
What it does, very successfully, is propose alternative solutions that work. And we see results. This is a must-watch for anyone who works in childcare, healthcare, or young parents with unruly children at home. It's a plea to step away from the prescription pad, and take some time to figure your children out, whether you're their teacher, their paediatrician, or their parent. Four Letters Apart is a call to arms that something's amiss, and that prescribing 7-year-olds with amphetamines is not the solution.

The Overnighters
Director: Jesse Moss
Program: Special Presentation
Run Time: 100 minutes
Williston, North Dakota, has become a place of refuge for the unemployed during the recent economic downturn. With the oil fields promising six-figure incomes, all the downtrodden, out of luck, unemployed and unemployable men and women from across the States flocked to Williston. What they found was Pastor Jay Reinke. Harbouring the down and out pilgrims in his church, Pastor Reinke offered a warm place to sleep, and healthy meals so that they might have an easier time on the job hunt. But while the Pastor's motives seem honest and well meaning, the town is in an uproar. Harbouring not only the unemployed, but former felons and sex offenders, the town revolts against Pastor Reinke, fearing for their safety.
Jesse Moss has created a shocking and compelling documentary that focuses a blind eye on the controversy of small town America. Pastor Reinke's motives are unclear from the beginning of the documentary, and remain as such for much of the film's run time. Moss offers an ambiguous perspective, forcing us to question the Pastor's intentions, and the nature of faith and benevolence in a town run by an archaic belief system. What appears to be a well-intentioned, unified public gradually reveals itself to be far murkier. The Pastor himself manages to endanger his family, and potentially his township, in favor of a subconscious path of redemption.
The Overnighters highlights the flaws of an outdated system of belief, showcasing the way faith, kindness and humility have been replaced by archaic standards of living. It raises larger questions than it answers, as the problems that need to be tackled remain as ambiguous as ever, and the public mindset, especially in small towns, is fused like the vertebrae of a spine: unfeeling, unmoving, and incapable of growth.

Captivated: The Trials of Pamela Smart
Director: Jeremiah Zagar
Program: Special Presentations
Run Time: 102 minutes
One of the more intriguing documentaries at Hot Docs this year, Captivated: The Trials of Pamela Smart manages to form a complex discourse on the nature of subjectivity. Pamela Smart was arrested and tried in 1991 for conspiring to kill her husband, with the help of a sixteen-year-old student with whom she was having an affair. The case created a scandal and media frenzy that dominated the airwaves for the duration of the trial. Before a jury was even selected, there were stories being broadcast practically convicting Smart of the crime. The proceedings inspired books, TV miniseries, and a slew of films, including most prominently Gus Van Sant's To Die For. Director Jeremiah Zagar attempts to trace everything back to 1991 and revisit the trials, hoping to shed new light on the verdict. In a trial that was so hugely impacted by public influence and the chaotic media frenzy that surrounded it, Zagar begs the question: can the bell be unrung?
Before Survivor or The Real World, even before the OJ Simpson trial, Pamela Smart became the world's first reality television star. Hers was the first trial televised from gavel to gavel, as most of America tuned in daily to follow the proceedings. The result of all this attention was, as Zagar deftly suggests, the cause for Smart's potentially unjust conviction. Zagar attempts to give us all of the facts, and calls into question the very nature of subjectivity. The manner in which the trial was filmed, the images portrayed to the public, the spin put on Smart herself – dubbed the Ice Queen, and called unfeeling – all play a hand in the audience, and jury's, perception of the case. Zagar seems to suggest Smart's innocence, while at the same time eloquently questioning the believability of Captivated itself. He expertly acknowledges the fallibility of documentary film as a medium thru the Heisenberg Principle, and leaves you with the sinking feeling that, when it comes to Pamela Smart, we'll likely never know the truth.

By Patrick Hassan-Morlai, Vanguard Correspondent, London, UK.
Any form of violence risks marring the reputation of Sierra Leone's forthcoming elections. That being the case, the recent violence between and among the three main political parties - SLPP, APC and PMDC - has now significantly contributed to a deteriorating situation in that country's security.
Reporting on the Wednesday, August 1, 2007 edition of its "Crisis Watch No 48", the International Crisis Group has described Sierra Leone as one of the most fragile (security-wise) countries together with countries like Burundi, Ethiopia, Pakistan, Philippines, and Zimbabwe. The Crisis Watch report notes that the Sierra Leone Police have "reported an upward trend in campaign violence before the 11 August presidential and parliamentary election; announced tougher measures, but admitted insufficient resources."
This is no surprise to many observers and commentators on the situation in Sierra Leone. In fact, since July 10 when campaigning officially commenced, there have been scores of examples of campaign-related violence between and among political parties.
These incidences are so alarming that the Executive Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General (ERSG), Mr. Victor Angelo, on Monday 23 July 2007 observed that as far as the elections are concerned, they should be violence-free, respect the rule of law and the political parties' code of conduct, as well as the democratic principles of fairness and tolerance. Mr Angelo expressed his concerns while hosting the leaders of the Sierra Leone Association of Journalists (SLAJ), as well as media proprietors and key institutions related to the 2007 presidential and parliamentary elections at a breakfast meeting aimed at encouraging effective monitoring and fair and objective reporting of the elections.
It is therefore hoped that the Crisis Watch report, together with all previous warnings, will encourage leaders of political parties to ensure that their supporters refrain from acts which will mar the forthcoming elections and jeopardise the peace every Sierra Leonean now enjoys.

We have mentioned about iPad not charging due to under-powered USB ports on most of the Windows and Mac PCs, instead of relying purely on its 10-watt USB power adaptor to charge or upgrading your motherboards to newer Mac PC, there are some drivers updates available for download that will able to make your existing motherboard more Apple-friendly, giving you extra convenience to charge your lovely iPad while moving around without the need to carry its original travel charger.
In actual fact, users will still able to charge their iPad using conventional normal PC USB ports when the unit is in sleep mode with screen off but what is annoying here is whenever you turn on the iPad, a 'Not Charging' sign will be shown on the top right corner where the battery bar indicator is located. The trouble here is not only making the iPad totally unusable during the recharging cycle, but its extremely slow charging time may take ages for it to be fully charged due to the under-powered 5V USB ports that can only supply 500mA current which is far below 1.2A rated current as being required and sourced by iPad. In view on popularity of Apple's products and in order to tackle such inconvenience, some major board makers such as MSI and Asus has announced driver updates that are aimed to upgrade its usability on the fly without any hardware modification.
For MSI driver updates, users can get the download here (named as i-Charger) for its motherboard regardless if they are desktop PC or notebooks whereas for Asus brand, users can get its Ai Charger update here that are claimed to be able to ramp up its USB host ports to supply 1.2A for speedy charging as required by iPad while moving around.

Progressive Jazz Vocalist Kristina Koller Releases Debut Album 'Perception'
Accomplished, New York-based, vocalist, composer and arranger Kristina Koller is proud to announce her arrival with the January 19th 2018 release of her debut album "Perception". The 23-year old will step into the spotlight with this 12-track compilation of deftly composed originals and reimagined gems, carefully selected with the thematic focus of love and relationships at the forefront of each. With the help of her talented and tightly-knit trio, which features Fima Chupakhin on piano, Chris Talio on bass and Joe Spinelli on drums, Koller also presents a snapshot of the self-development she has recently experienced as a singer, songwriter and arranger."Perception" includes eight covers ranging from the era of '30s Tin Pan Alley ("Blame It On My Youth," "Nice Work If You Can Get It," "You Go To My Head") to '00s pop ("I Miss You," "Skinny Love"). In this sense, Koller really can be perceived as both a timeless and contemporary jazz vocalist. Regardless of where exactly each tune fits into the historic timeline though, these 12 individual tracks all tell different stories of love and relationships, and in turn, provide disparate perceptions of such experiences. Teaming this array of classics with her own confessional and emotionally honest lyrics, "Perception" certainly packs a hefty emotional punch. Although Koller, of course, would have had a specific and personal meaning attached to each recording, she wants her listeners to interpret each song in their own individual way. "I want people to figure out for themselves what is the style of music, without labeling
anything. That's one reason why I picked Perception as the title." The album title also implies the nostrum that first impressions matter-you only get one chance to release a debut CD. When faced with this challenge, some choose to display a variety of music genres and styles, and others decide to put their best foot forward and play what they know best. In contrast to these two approaches, Koller decided to showcase the self-development she has experienced in recent months, not just as a vocalist, but as a composer and arranger. Originally, Kristina intended on displaying a collection of straight-ahead jazz compositions. However, since mid-2016, Koller has been recording and producing a number of vignettes - viewable on her website and on Youtube - simply titled "Sessions". For each episode, she placed herself in duo, trio, quartet or quintet configurations, some with musicians she hadn't previously played with, all comfortable navigating multiple genres. With their input, Koller created arrangements on the spot, jam session style, and through the performance of each, the beguiling vocalist discovered and developed her own distinct sound and style. Now, knowing the approach and result she wanted to apply and achieve, respectively, Koller assembled a trio of respected musicians, who undoubtedly, helped her realize her aspirations for this debut release. Koller explains that pianist Chupakhin, "has a good ear for where the chords should be voiced, which I'm very particular about." She praises Talio for "being able to lay back on the beat and feel the groove," and Spinelli for "having a good pocket and also being able to swing really well." Not coincidentally, Koller's process of self-discovery transpired after she graduated from the jazz program at The City College of New York, where mentors included such exemplary singers as Carolyn Leonhart and Charenee Wade. Another mentor, via master classes, was Cyrille Aimée, who produced two of the songs on "Perception". Other influences include Nancy Wilson ("I love her song choices, and the way she always tells a story-she's not just singing to sing"), Anita O'Day ("her great sense of rhythm"), José James ("I've seen him a few times, and each performance was completely different musically"), and Gretchen Parlato ("she finds ways to add vocal percussion and other sounds to her arrangements"), as well as Robert Glasper and The Bad Plus ("for pushing the limits of jazz with various re-harmonizations and unique arrangements"). Although Kristina certainly wears her influences on her immaculately tailored creative sleeve, she knows that adding to the legacy of jazz is much more important than merely recreating the performances of others. She actively points her creative compass in the right direction, by reinventing classics, while still retaining their essence. The album features Fima Chupakhin (piano), Chris Talio (bass), Joe Spinelli (drums). Also with Michael King (piano), Eric Wheeler (bass), Darrian Douglas (drums), Nick Brust (tenor sax), Josh Evans (trumpet) & Gabe Valle (violin).

I think that is a real bargain. I've got the 32"AOC 3277 - So I'm guessing this is a slight upgrade. If you don't have a 2560x1440 monitor yet… consider this. You'll wonder why the hell you stuck with 1080P for so long.

PapayaMobile launches SDK aimed at monetizing in China
Social game distribution and monetization company PapayaMobile announced the launch of a new SDK to help independent Android developers access the Chinese mobile market.
The first free game with in-app purchases to launch in China using the new SDK will be Scottish developer Cobra Mobile's WW2 shooter iBomber for Android.
The PapayaMobile SDK helps Android app and game developers monetize by plugging into the company's cross-promotion and ad network AppFlood, where they can buy, sell or exchange ads and traffic with advertisers and other publishers.
More importantly, the SDK also plugs into China Mobile, China's biggest mobile operator with more than 700 million subscribers, to allow for in-app purchasing via carrier billing.
Carrier billing is tremendously important if not absolutely necessary in order to monetize in the Chinese market. In November 2012, CocoaChina's US GM Lei Zhang Zhang told us that carrier billing accounted for 90 percent of Fishing Joy 2's total revenue of $1.6 million per month. At the 2013 Game Developers Conference Yodo1's CEO Henry Fong told us that there may be other companies that are able to push games and apps to the many Android app stores in China, but that only those with standing deals with the mobile carriers and access to carrier billing will be able to monetize.
The official release from PapayaMobile claims that the company is taking the lead in opening up the Chinese market to Western developers, but in reality they are already in competition with big and established players such as the aforementioned Yodo1 (which also offers important localization services), InMobi's App Publish distribution platform which can push an app or game to more than 130 Android app stores in a few clicks, and others.

NAPA, CA. It's Saturday, May 25. And we now find BottleRock Napa Valley – BRNV2019 – in full swing. Festival goers are already discovering the vast array of music, wine, cocktail, beer and food choices to be had this year. BRNV2019 offers five main performance stages, not including the extra two acoustic stages. All of which begs three big questions: Where and when to begin, what to consume and how do you plan your day.
Sunday at BRNV2019: Musical Overview
The Sunday lineup for BRNV2019 launches its action packed lineup of music and events early. Sunday's musical theme this year is something new and something old as mixed with mass variety. For example, legends like Santana, Neil Young and Michael Franti share the day with up and comers like Shaed, The Alive, and Gang of Youths. That means festival goers will encounter an awesome array of musical genres and age ranges to choose from.
Regarding age ranges, the kids from The Alive are certainly the youngest (two 13 year olds and a 10 year old) featured performers at BRNV2019. On the other side of the equation, Santana clocks in at a youthful 71, and Neil Young keeps on rockin' at 73.
In addition to these names, plenty of fabulous established bands and up and coming artists are scheduled to perform Sunday. You'll want to check them out. A lot of the up and comers begin their sets around the noon hour. So plan to get up early, shake off the night before and get ready for Sunday!
Sunday bands/artists not to miss
- Santana: Nothing can be said about Santana that hasn't already be said. He is a living legend and we'll all be fortunate to have seen him perform live. If you've never seen him, don't wait another moment to see him here at BottleRock Napa Valley. Drink tequila of course!
- Michael Franti & Spearhead: Franti is a staple at BottleRock. He's one of the only people that has been at every BR. A California local, Franti's feel good, high energy, love the world show will pick you up and give you a hug. For bubbly lovefest like this, only sparkling wine will do!
Sunday bands/artists not to miss, Round 2
- Bishop Briggs: If you don't already know Bishop Briggs, get to know her at BRNV2019. Her music transcends genres, seamlessly blending pop, electronica and rock into her own defined sound. Briggs' single "River" is absolutely beautiful. Her sound is as unique as her childhood, which she spent growing up in Japan, Hong Kong and LA. With the massive variety in her style, definitely go with a mixed craft cocktail to sip on during her set.
- Skylar Grey: Skyler Grey does it all. Songwriter, singer, performer and record producer. She's collaborated with the likes of Eminem, X Ambassadors, Rihanna and so many others. Her single "Wreak Havoc" is so powerful. In pure contrast to that powerhouse single is her cover of "Stand By Me." She's part rocker, part hip-hop, part pop and 100% talented. Which means, don't miss Grey's show at this year's BottleRock Napa Valley. She's got a lot of layers. So go for a deep and complex red wine to enjoy during this show.
- Shaed: DC electro-pop trio Shaed continues to climb the charts with their breakout single "Trampoline. Their set should be full of energy and sick dance moves. Hopefully they'll play 'This Song Is Sick" – which they played to enormous crowds at this year's Coachella and EDC Vegas. Rumor has it they will be releasing new music later this year, so perhaps BR will hear a sneak peak. This show will be buzzing with electricity, so pair sparkling wine. You'll both be bubbly.
Sunday bands/artists not to miss, Round 3
- The Alive: These kids rock! A set of brothers and a good friend round out this threesome. Their combined age is 36. These boys have mad skills well beyond their years. This will be a heavy rock show. No popcorn and bubblegum here. It feels weird to offer a booze pairing when the band is made up of two 13 year olds and a 10 year old, but our parents drank in front of us at an embarrassing rate, so go with it. It's BRNV2019.
- The Teskey Brothers: This Melbourne foursome channels their inner '60s Motown beautifully. Adding their own modern rock spin, their tracks "Forever You and Me" and "Crying Shame" are stunners. Close your eyes and it will sound like Van Morrison is on stage with Otis Redding. In honor of this ensemble's authentic '60s sound, go for the mixed cocktails. Old Fashioned, Whiskey Sour… whatever you can get. Sip, savor and sway.
- Gang of Youths: These young guys might surprise and delight the BottleRock crowd. This up-tempo show is reminiscent of old school U2 blended with JET. A five piece band from Sydney, Gang Of Youths drag the beauty out of everything from hell to high water. Debuting in 2013 with their smoldering single "'Evangelists," they were met with instant radio success. The beauty of love, the chaos and rapture of surviving against all odds – these are the elements that drive Gang of Youths. Try to pay attention to their lyrics as you are continually challenged by your BRNV2019 surroundings. Their music burns with the desperation of apocalypse. Just for the poetry, go for the Bullit.
Sunday bands/artists not to miss, wrap-up
- Turkuaz: Get ready for a good old fashioned funk dance party. It's time to get down, get down. If you need a pick me up come Sunday, look no further than Turkuaz. You might not know how to pronounce their name, but it won't matter. You'll be Saturday night fevering through the entire show. If there is PBR in the can, go for it. Otherwise, Rosé.
- Jeff Goldblum & The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra: Jeff Goldblum and the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra will be the only pure jazz that you find at BRNV2019. To be honest, we're not quite sure exactly how this crew will be received at a mostly rock and pop festival. But let's see what happens. Variety, as we all should know, is the spice of life. Think Great Gatsby Jazz. Not sure if they make martinis or not at BRNV. But if so, that would be perfect. If not, Pinot Noir should work just fine.
Official BottleRock Aftershows
Sunday's aftershow features Taylor Hawkins' Chevy Metal. If you're a fan of the Foo Fighters, you probably bought tickets already. This is the 3rd appearance for Taylor Hawkins (once with the Footos and twice with Chevy Metal). Hands down, this show will rock. They bill themselves as a self professed '70s dirt rock cover band playing deep cuts by Black Sabbath, Van Halen, Queen and the Rolling Stones. If you want them to play your party, they'll do it for a million dollars. No wine here, tequila or bourbon only.
The aftershow is at 10 p.m. at the Jam Cellars Ballroom. Walking distance from BottleRock. Tickets start at $45. You can get them here.
Ticket availability?
Tickets for BottleRock Napa Valley are sold out. But don't give up yet. You can check the ticket exchange for any possible last minute tickets. BottleRock teamed up with Lyte, a ticket exchange platform that allows fans to buy or exchange tickets for sold-out events. Fans still looking for sold out BottleRock passes can visit the Lyte site for more information.

Toyota (UMW Toyota Motor) is showcasing the latest models at the ongoing Malaysia Autoshow, from 26 to 29 April at the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS) in Serdang.
The Toyota exhibition area located in Hall A, displays the latest Toyota models and visitors can also experience the superior off-road capabilities of the Toyota Hilux and Fortuner at the outdoor location.
"Toyota has been a regular participant at the Malaysia Autoshow since its inception in 2010. Being an event focussed on sales, we welcome the opportunity to show our latest models to visitors and invite them to take the vehicles for test-drives around MAEPS. Through their driving experiences, we hope they will see that Toyota offers ever-better vehicles to customers," said Ravindran K., President of UMW Toyota Motor.
The highlight at the Toyota exhibition area are the new Toyota C-HR compact crossover SUV. Launched earlier this year in Malaysia, the C-HR has been drawing lots of attention with its head-turning looks. Also on display are the latest L-Edition Toyota Hilux, Vios, Sienta, Innova X and Avanza X.
Test-drives of the models around the spacious grounds of MAEPS are also available upon request. This will give visitors an opportunity to personally experience the performance, comfort and driving pleasure that Toyota vehicles offer.
Visitors to the Toyota booth can learn more about the various sales and aftersales services available. These include attractive financing schemes such as the Toyota 2-Tier plan which offers lower installments for the initial period of the hire-purchase loan.
At the outdoor sites (shuttles are provided to transport visitors), there will be an opportunity to experience the 4×4 capabilities of the Fortuner SUV and Hilux pick-up. Both models have a proven record of toughness and can serve its owners well as personal transport or 'business partners'. Two features are the highlights including climbing capabilities and driver-assist systems . Customers get to try out the Hillstart Assist Control and Downhill Assist Control, as well.
The Hilux celebrates its 50th anniversary this year and in some regions, its name is even used to refer to any pick-up model. With its robust 4×4 system supplemented by Active Traction Control and Vehicle Stability Control, the Hilux can easily take on rough and slippery terrain.
The four-day Malaysia Autoshow provide car buyers and bargain hunters plenty of other activities, aside from cars.

The rancorous online clamour over TransLink and its bridging deal with ex-CEO Ian Jarvis, over the belated discovery that TransLink's board of governors can't be arbitrarily sacked at the whim of some self-appointed flash mob and over severance packages for public servants might lead one to think we'd all be better off in a world where employees had no rights.
We've tried that. It didn't work so well, which is why sensible democracies prefer rules — otherwise known as "the law" — to permit these decisions to be made dispassionately and at arm's length rather than by excitable crowds.
Let's take a look at the governance of TransLink.
Who set it up? Well, we did, through our provincial government.
Who approved it? We did, by re-electing the provincial government under which TransLink did most of its capital and operating expansion not once, but four times in a row.
What's more, rude as it may seem to point this out, only about half of us bothered to vote in those elections — even fewer bothered with municipal elections.
So if you are unhappy with the way TransLink is set up and operates, blame yourself for not doing enough about it when you had the chance.
And please, spare me the indignant, self-righteous argument that you didn't vote for the bums, because somebody surely elected them.
Meanwhile, here's a modest proposal. If you really want to change TransLink and how it functions, start by lighting a fire under your provincial transportation minister. His name is Todd Stone. If anybody is responsible for transport policy you don't like, it's him.
Among the more amusing ironies in this eruption of high dudgeon, stoked enthusiastically by the likes of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, is outrage about the apparent insulation of TransLink board members from immediate public will.
Gosh, just like the CTF and other not-for-profits that insulate board members.
The CTF explains this structure reasonably well. It wouldn't want to subject itself to the whims of those seeking to influence its ability to set an agenda that some people might find disagreeable and who might try to take over the board and repurpose the organization.
Then there's the ranting about public employees who get what are frequently characterized as severance packages that are way too rich by comparison to the private sector.
As Vaughn Palmer noted in a column outlining past misadventures by politicians in seeking to axe public officials for political reasons, our courts do take a dim view of the practice and require reasonable compensation for breaching contractual arrangements.
There's been quite a bit of huffing and puffing about extravagant six-figure payouts for senior executives in public service who suddenly find themselves in the ranks of the unemployed.
Are these payouts really that rich by comparison to what goes down when CEOs and presidents get axed in the private sector?
Here are a few comparisons using Palmer's numbers and those gleaned from business news services like Bloomberg and leading business magazines like Forbes:
• When BC Transit dumped its president Frank Dixon it had to pay out $400,000. When GE dumped its CEO, Jack Welch, it paid $417 million. At least a dozen executives listed in Standard & Poor's 500-stock index have severance packages that total more than $100 million each.
• In Canada, the CEO of Target just got a severance and benefits package of more than $60 million — that's about the same as the total in severance benefits for the entire 17,600 workers he laid off in wrapping up the ill-fated foray into the Canadian market.
So maybe we don't really want to bring our public service severance packages in line with the private sector.
Then there's the fuming over the remuneration we pay the heads of these crown corporations and public agencies. The ex-head of TransLink is paid more than Prime Minister Stephen Harper, goes one complaint.
True, but then the lowliest of the Vancouver Canucks roster, former Rockford Icehog Ryan Stanton, is paid about 20-per-cent more than the prime minister and between them the two top Canucks take home about 40 times more than Harper.
Finally, there's the thunderous fulminating on talk radio about the fare cheaters who take public transit without paying. Cheating is a concern, but just to keep it in perspective, 2.5 million unpaid fares out of 233,900,000 passengers amounts to about 1.2 per cent. The "shrinkage" margin that corporations apply to cover annual employee and consumer theft each year averages about 1.42 per cent.
So, on the whole, TransLink apparently performs better in managing theft than the private sector.
Be careful what you wish for. Just saying.

Flagstone and Slate Floors
Flagstone and slate are natural-stone flooring materials that are similar. They have rough, porous surfaces and are set into grout.
- Flagstone and slate floors must be sealed with a commercial sealer, not lacquer or varnish.
- The best way to seal a flagstone or slate floor is with a commercial sealer for terrazzo and slate. After the sealer dries, apply two thin coats of an acrylic floor finish with a long-handle wax applicator fitted with a lamb's wool pad, or apply paste wax with a floor-polishing machine. To do this, use a spatula to spread a small amount of paste wax directly on the brushes of the polisher. Slowly operate the polisher back and forth to apply a thin coat of wax. When dry, buff the floor.
- A self-polishing liquid will build up on your floor, and you'll occasionally have to strip the wax buildup and rewax. After applying the stripper according to the manufacturer's directions, rinse the floor thoroughly with clear water, then apply wax.
- Damp-mop flagstone or slate floors using either clear water, an all-purpose cleaning solution in warm water, or water to which fabric softener has been added. Wring the mop until it doesn't drip, and apply it to the floor in slow, even strokes. If the freshly mopped floor dries with a luster-dulling film, you can mop it again with water containing a cup of white vinegar; the floor will glisten.

C Program Code For Polynomial Addition Using Binary Operator Overloading
In case you are new to laptop programming, it is very important understand some normal concepts and rules. You may find lots of information about these in numerous books and on Sun's Java development website. In the event you write a program, it's worthwhile to store data and manipulate it with a collection of instructions. The PLD's capabilities are undefined, so it may be programmed.
The developer is an experienced programmer who understands there's much more to growing software program than the lines of code it consists of. He possesses a a lot better understanding of software design concepts and principles than the programmer and thinks about a problem in its entirety.
In case you are the type of programmer, that code only for fun, then it's best to undoubtedly get you a duplicate of the A+ programming language, so that you could simply start to program. Excessive degree language are used to write enormous measurement applications. That is the idea of codeless programming via visualizing component programming.
For example, in Python a recursive perform call, by which a function calls itself (with a distinct input, clearly) requires little or no code in comparison with utilizing a loop to carry out the same job, and could also be much more readable due to this.
All the applications written in programming language(except machine degree language) is first translated into machine comprehensible kind for its successful execution. Malware, brief for malicious software, is a generic time period used to seek advice from intrusive and crafty code and lively content material designed by criminals and black hat hackers to cripple performance of a pc.

It was April break, my school was out for a week, but I wasn't in the celebrating mood. Colleges had sent out the acceptance and rejection letters in March and now I had to choose where I wanted to go for the next four years. My two friends and I decided to spend the first half of break on the road looking at some of the colleges we got into. It was going to be great, just the three of us, me (Alex), Karla and Dan.
No parents. Dan and Karla had been "dating" for about a year and a half, with many rough patches of breaking up and getting back together. Currently they were together and going strong. Dan was the captain of the Varsity Soccer team at our school, Karla was the captain of the Varsity Lacrosse and Field Hockey teams.
He was about 5' 10" well built with short cropped almost black hair. She was 5' 9", long auburn hair and obviously fit enough to be the captain of two teams. I'm 5' 11", co-captain of the swim team with a body to match. I keep my hair short and go to the gym a couple times a week (I was senior and that meant I could be lazy) We left on a Friday and headed down to Connecticut.
We drove for most of the day, switching drivers every now and then. We talked the whole way. We had all been best friends since eighth grade. During the last stretch of the drive Karla and I sat up front with me driving and Dan in the back listening to his iPod.
"So he's been playing this really mean game recently," Karla was saying. "No matter how much I beg him, he wont give me sex. I mean, how twisted is that? The girl asking the guy and the guy saying, 'no'?" I laughed, knowing that this wouldn't even register on their fight-o-meter it was so puny, and that Karla was just venting.
But inside I was a little jealous of the two of them having such easy access to sex. Granted I had had my fair share of experience, it was nothing compared to the benefits they had. "I swear unless I get some soon, I'm going to have to rape him." At this we both laughed.
We got to the Hilton Gardens we would be staying at for the next two days in the late afternoon. It was a good 80 degrees out so we decided to hit the pool before we raided room service (all on our parents tab).
We had all been up to my lake house many times before, so seeing each other in our bathing suites was nothing new. We rushed down from our fourth floor room to the pool earning more than a few nasty looks from the hotels other patrons. The pool was empty so we acted like 10 year olds, splashing, cannon balling, diving and so forth.
At one point I got out to take a quick piss in the changing area. When I came back Karla and Dan were in the middle of an intense make out session in the shallow end.
Dan was massaging Karla's tits through her light blue bikini top and I could tell her hand was massaging his package under the water. I watched as they made out their hands roaming freely around the others body, I then faked a cough and made my way back to the pool. When the sun began to disappear behind the trees we jumped out and toweled off. I looked over and saw Dan sporting something of a hard on in his suit.
Karla followed my gaze and laughed. We both pointed, doing our best to embarrass the hell out of him. "Screw you," he said to both of us.
"You're doing something about this later I hope you know." He said to Karla has he grabbed his package through his suit and shook it at her. "Ha, you wish," she laughed.
But when Dan turned his back she looked at me and winked. We got back to the two-bed hotel room (Dan and Karla were sharing) which was equipped with a nice balcony and huge flat screen TV and ordered some room service. The operator told us it was going to be about an hour do to some malfunctions in the kitchen. Since there was only one shower Dan and Karla changed out of their suits into bathrobes to wait until I took my shower first (I had won rock-paper-scissors).
I turned on the water, extra hot as I was starting to shiver. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and saw (and felt) that I still had a semi-hard on from seeing Dan and Karla's groping in the pool.
Well I guess I'll have to do something about that I thought to myself as I stepped into the now hot water. Right after I closed the shower curtain I realized I hadn't seen any towels on the hooks and that they were on the bed outside. Shit, I thought. I got out of the shower and pranced over to the door I called out to Dan to bring the towels in, no response. I called again, this time to Karla, again nothing. The combination of the door, fan and water must have muffled my voice.
I cautiously opened the door to make sure no one was right outside and thus be able to see me nude. I stuck my head around the corner to conceal my lower half and was about out to yell at them for not hearing me when, much to my surprise I saw Karla on the bed, naked as they day she was born. She was sitting on their bed propped up on some pillows with her bathrobe spread open around her exposing her firm, B/C cup tits.
One of her legs was up, but luckily for me the other was down giving me a great view of her pussy, trimmed to perfection. She was gently stroking it, while concentrating on Dan who was standing at the edge of the bed, in the process of shedding his robe. He let it drop to the floor, his cock fully hard at what had to be at least seven or eight inches, and thick too, very thick. He crawled onto the bed and moved up so that he was on his knees with his cock right in Karla's face.
She opened her mouth and he leaned forward, his eight inches disappearing into her throat. He groaned in delight as Karla grabbed a hold of the base of his cock and started sucking on it like a popsicle. Dan pumped himself in and out of Karla's mouth, every now and then pushing himself down deep into the back of her throat, his pubs brushing up against her nose.
"Hhmmm…yeah, that's it&hellip.oh yeah…" Dan groaned as his cock slipped down in the recesses of Karla's throat. By now I was sprouting a full hard seven inches, still wet from the shower and my hand crept down to my shaft and slowly started stroking, ignoring the fact that I was spying on my two best friends. Dan pulled out of Karla and moved down to lie on top of her.
He began kissing her neck slowly while rubbing his hand down along her pussy. This elicited several moans from Karla who in turn started to rub her hands all down his well-defined back, thrusting her hips up at him. "Dan…come on&hellip." She pleaded with him. But Dan was ignoring her. He moved further down the bed and began kissing her inner thighs, slowly working his way up.
When he got to her pussy he went around it, gently licking her everywhere but where she most wanted him. "Dan!" She said louder this time, obviously in heat. "Give it to me." With that he smiled and began to lick her cunt lips, occasionally sucking one into his mouth.
"Oh yeah, Danny&hellip.uh&hellip.oh please&hellip.yessss." Karla's hands ground down on Dan's head forcing him more and more into her pussy. "Yes, yes suck my clit&hellip.Dan suck it…YES!" I could tell that Dan had obliged and had begun sucking on Karla's nub.
She began to thrash on the bed, keeping her hands on his head. "Dan, I'm almost there…yes…keep going!" Karla arched her back and let out a loud moan with the onset of her orgasm that I'm sure someone in the hall could have heard, but none of us cared. My cock was throbbing in my hand as I tried to remain quiet and simultaneously take advantage of this free porno happening less than ten feet away from me. I sat back on the chair in the corner of the room and increased my pace, stroking my dick up and down.
Dan moved slowly up Karla's body, laying kisses at various points along his way. He finally reached her mouth and began a heated make out session while he also moved his cock within striking distance of Karla's very well lubed cunt. "Come on Danny, Alex will be out of the shower soon." Dan obliged her by quickly shoving his dick up in her, any thought I might have had that this would have hurt Karla was instantly erased when I heard the low and completely satisfied moan escape her throat.
Dan began to bring his dick in and out of her slowly, staring in her eyes, daring her to moan again, and when she did, he picked up the pace. Karla's tits bounced with every thrust of Dan's cock into her, his arms on either side of her torso, her legs entwined around his back. He started to piston into her, causing his hips and balls to slap every time they hit her ass. From where I was sitting I could make out his cock glistening as it slid in and out of her obviously dripping pussy, its lips being pulled along with Dan's meat.
Pre-cum was starting to flow out of my dick, making every rise and fall of my hand all the more pleasurable. I wanted to lean back in the chair but that would mean losing my line of sight, so I inched forward a bit and continued stroking my cock, occasionally spreading the pre-cum over the head and silently moaning to myself.
"Dan, yes, oh yeah…right there…yeah&hellip." Karla was breathing deep; apparently he really had deprived her of sex for some time, because she was on the verge of cumming already. "Fuck yeah, you like that don't you." Dan answered her; sweat was starting to from on his back and face. "God yes!" Karla hissed. "Oh…OH!" Karla began to shake as her orgasm made its way through her body, her vaginal walls constricting around Dan's meat which was deep inside her.
"Fuck yeah!" Dan called out as his cock was coated in Karla's sweet juices, adding to the glorious symphony of sex in the room.
Karla's face was frozen in pure ecstasy as she rode out her orgasm holding her breath, her legs tightening their grip on Dan's back.
Finally, she exhaled a sigh of pure relief and began to breath again. "Oh Dan, that was good." Karla moaned as she came down from her orgasm.
"You wanna taste yourself?" Dan asked, slowing his thrusting down. Karla giggled and nodded her head. With that Dan pulled his now dripping cock out of Karla's pussy and traded places with her. She then took his cock back onto her mouth and began licking all over, lapping up her juices. "Oh Christ!" Dan mumbled as his prick disappeared into Karla's very eager mouth.
His left hand was roaming his torso, feeling his tight abs and firm pecs beneath his golden skin while his right hand found itself behind Karla's head, slowly but surly helping her take more and more of his hard cock into her throat. A mix of Dan's copious pre cum, Karla's pussy juice and her own saliva began to drip down off of Dan's meat onto Karla's chin and tits.
"Ahh, fuck…yeah…Karla I'm gonna cum baby, keep on sucking like that, oh god, oh yeah…shit!" Dan's thrusts into Karla's mouth were becoming wild, like an animalistic lust had taken over him.
As his speed increased Karla's left hand began massaging his taught ass cheeks, playing with the firm muscles while her right shoved her index and middle fingers into her still dripping pussy. Then, with no warning she removed these two fingers from herself, glistening with her own juices and shoved them into Dan's asshole.
This sent Dan over the edge and then some. He let out a load mixture of a shout and a moan and began shooting a simply massive load of cum deep into Karla's throat.
From my seat I could hear Karla swallowing load after load of cum and this was enough for me. I too was on the verge of blowing my load so I silently slipped back into the bathroom, holding my cock still so as not to cum all over the carpet. As soon as I shut the door I resumed my stroking and all I needed was a picture of Dan and Karla and a few seconds and I was there.
My hand flew up and down my incredibly hard seven inches, well lubricated from all my pre cum. I bit back on my lip so as to stifle the shout of pleasure that wanted to escape my lips. I shot 5 huge spurts of jizz on the toweled floor and before I was able to breath again. I got back in the shower, which had been running the whole time. The water was cold, but after my jerk off session I appreciated the cool down period.
I got out a few minutes later and turned the water off. Still with no towel I hurried over to the door, and opened it with every intention of poking my head out and just asking Dan or Karla (who I assumed by know had composed themselves) for a towel. But when I opened the door, I opened it right up into Karla, clad in her bikini, with a towel in her hand. For a brief few seconds she stared at me, totally nude. Her eyes tracing their way down my torso and stopping at my crotch. As a swimmer I was used to being cold so my dick didn't ever really shrink too much.
"I thought you might need this." Karla said, slowly drawing her gaze back up to my face as she handed me the towel. "Thanks." I replied trying to force the image of her tits bouncing in rhythm to Dan's thrusting only a few minutes before so as to avert getting hard in front of her. Karla smiled coyly as she turned around allowing her arm to swing out have her hand brush ever so lightly my hip.
I tried to hold back a shudder and quickly stepped back into the bathroom and began drying off. Thinking back, I couldn't help but smile at the ridiculous scenario that had just transpired.
More to come later, comments are appreciated!

In 2004, he breezed in into the Accra newsroom of The Sun. There he stood, Omoyele Sowore, the intrepid publisher of New York-based Sahara Reporters, the sharp-shooting news website that exposes malfeasance in high places. For over two hours, SHOLA OSHUNKEYE, MUSA JIBRIL and HARRIET OKYERE grilled the man regarded by those in power as an enfant terrible of the new media.
Four years later, Sowore has thrown his hat in the ring for the 2019 Presidential election. Some of the views he expressed back then come into reckoning as politicking gradually gain momentum. Here is an extract from the encounter.
Don't you nurse a secret fear that someone might one day put a bullet in your head, given the kind of stories you do?
I wouldn't have done my first story if I was afraid of death. I think I overcame fear when I was a university undergraduate.
What future do you see for the Nigerian youths?
I believe there is a new consciousness happening through social media, where there is some kind of youth engagement. When we first posted our stories on Facebook, people chased us away. They said Facebook is not for activism, it's not for views against the government. They said 'we are here to enjoy ourselves, date and make friends, don't come and poison this social space.' Today, it has become one of the most powerful tools for fighting the government. Armchair activists who otherwise are afraid to go out can at least send a tweet. They can make a Facebook update that eventually, in terms of aggregation, would help put pressure on the government.
But we need to go beyond that. I think the youth somehow will find their voice again. The best objective condition that can mobilize people is the way the government is conducting itself today. I am seeing that happening. People are angry in the north, in the south, in the west, in the east, about the way the government is conducting the affairs of the state.
Do you think the anger is sufficient enough to trigger our own 'Arab' Spring?
It is possible. It needs just one more component––an arrowhead, a leadership that is very resilient and can work underground to mobilize people and reach out across all barriers to the youth because the word 'youth' is no longer attributed to students alone. Now you have a very virile youth in Nigeria that transcends the campuses. I am seeing some form of organization happening on social media. People are talking. They are having lateral and vertical discussions. People are discussing beyond religion and ethnicity. People are trying to overcome the divisive tendencies that make this thing impossible.
Don't you have fears that you can do stories about government officials who may not forgive you easily?
I have come to the conclusion that I have offended enough people to last me for the rest of my life. I do not expect any government official that is indicted, ousted or disgraced for the kind of stories we have done to forgive me. It is not the government official that needs to forgive me––it is the people of Nigeria that need to forgive these government officials because of the kind of the economic, social and political crimes that they commit against 180 million people. I am completely not worried. They are the one who should be watching their back.
But I understand that when people do the kind of work that I do, it comes with consequences.
I prepared myself for it a long time ago that anything can happen to me in the course of this job. The same thing can happen to anyone of you who is in the (news) business. Maybe in terms of scale of offence, I offend a wide range of powerful people. If the society becomes so jaundiced that every idiot that gets offended for committing a crime can come after the person who is telling the truth, then, nobody in the media business is safe, including those of you who offend "small people." If someone succeeds in taking me out of circulation today, it is not going to prevent another person, who is equally stubborn or even more determined than myself from starting another blog or a website or a media platform that will confront government more frontally that how it is done today.
What will be the right price to buy you?
None. I have been doing this since 2007. With all sense of modesty, I have done some of the biggest stories in Nigeria. I have lost count. I can also tell you that I have been approached several times to sell out for what anybody could have considered to be the right price. But I refused.
Maybe the price wasn't right enough?
Who determines the right price? If I am not available to be sold, then, there is no price to be paid. If there is no commodity, you cannot have a price. When you begin to negotiate, you have commoditized yourself and, they can start bidding for you until they reach the right price. I am not a commodity. I refused to make myself available or to be commoditized.
Can you swear that you have never taken a bribe?
I have said it before: if anybody has ever given me a bribe to do what I am doing, they should locate The Sun and grant an interview, and reveal how the transaction went, including the account numbers they paid into. I am very comfortable with my poverty.
How did you get some of your stories without violating basic journalistic ethics?
One of the things that help me to bypass this encumbrance that you call journalistic ethics is to say upfront that 'I am not a journalist.' As a result, I have not even attempted or tried to subscribe to journalism as it is practised today. I am a Nigerian citizen by birth and I exercise my right to communicate with others for the sake of my well-being and of the others. The first point of entrance into journalism is the Article 19 of the UN Declaration of Human Right which allows anybody to freely communicate, which is what I do using the social media, the new media. The fact that I haven't been to journalism school doesn't preclude me from being called a journalist– –I like the term 'journalist' but I don't aspire to be one. I just aspire to be a citizen first, who is a reporter. Citizen journalism is a new phenomenon that is redefining journalism today. Journalism has changed from what it used to be. Journalism is the oldest profession in the world–
After prostitution–
No. It was journalists who discovered prostitutes and reported it. It was somebody who told the world these women are doing this somewhere. If you want to turn it the other way round, you would say that journalists are prostitutes, anyway.
Because they hop into bed with anybody to get their information–
So, you will hop into beds to get your information?
No. I just told you I am not a journalist.
But you also described yourself as a reporter?
Yes, but what I do is that I use citizens, including journalists, to report events. Anybody, including journalists, can report events for us. So, there is a mutual connection between us and the mainstream legacy media, but it is very important to state that I do not have their limitations.
Don't you think the so-called journalistic ethics will make your package better?
I agree. That is to the extent that I am playing in your field. You are journalists. You are bound by journalistic ethics. I came from a new area of journalism. You are the one putting me in a corner by calling me a journalist. What I do is not within the boundaries of what you are used to. That is what citizen journalism is about. That is what the new media is about. I am a journalist of the era of Twitter and Facebook––social media.
If you die today, what would be your regret?
It would be that probably I didn't do enough.

About Jasmine
Jasmine is a novice bikini competitor registered to compete in the Australasian Natural Bodybuilding Association. The ANB is Australasia's premier drug free bodybuilding organisation & this is part of what first attracted Jasmine's attention. We first came across Jasmine through her Instagram where we observed her quest to not only change her body, but inspire others to get out of their comfort zone, stop feeling sorry for themselves and achieve their craziest goals. She has recently competed in her first ever bodybuilding show in the Bikini Model category. Her transformation is inspirational to say the least & this is her story.
Let The Confessions Begin
Let me preface this by saying, I was not a gym novice before undertaking this journey. I was training in the gym (inconsistently mind you) for 2 years before I took the leap, so you could describe me as 'someone who worked out, but also enjoyed burgers and cake'.
I also had a love hate relationship with food. I would restrict food not caring where my calories came from as long as I stayed under a magic number that I thought I needed to hit my goal (there was a time where I was eating a single can of tuna and a row of Sakata rice crackers for lunch)
So how did I get from here:
To here:
Well I would scroll through my selected fitspo on Instagram, follow their journeys, see their hard work displayed with amazing physiques and would think to myself 'I wish I could do that', then I would go about my day never actually making a change. Then I got sick of wishing I could do it, decided that I was going to make my dream a reality, and set my sights on my first bodybuilding competition.
But as a complete beginner, and not surrounded my people that had undergone the process before, I was unaware of what was in store for me. By writing this I hope to inform other newbies about things I have learnt along the way, as well as some tips and tricks.
First things first, before you consider competing in a bodybuilding competition you need to ask yourself a few questions:
- Would you feel comfortable standing on a stage, in front of strangers, in a teeny tiny bikini or posing trunks (that barely covers what it needs to), contorting into a range of poses and being judged on your overall physique and appearance?
- Do you have solid relationships (person, family, friendships), and will the people in your life support you throughout this journey?
- Are you ready to push your body to its limits in the gym?
- Do you have time to meal prep?
- Are you free from any food/body image issues?
- Are you ready to have your energy level (and libido) tank, but work through it to hit your goals?
- Will you be 110% complaint to your coach and your protocols?
If yes, then body building is right up your alley!
These were questions that I didn't really ask of myself (or others) before I decided to undertake my competition prep but here I am, 1 comp down (where I placed 1st in the over 30's bikini division) and doing another show 7 weeks after that, I wanted to hopefully provide some insight and knowledge for anyone that is looking to undertake a journey to stage.
So, grab yourself a Before You Speak Coffee and read on for some handy tips and on things that I have learnt along the way.
Find a coach the suits your needs
This is where you need to do your research. I would first suggest asking yourself if you need the push of a face to face coach, or would you be able to be motivated and compliant enough to have an online coach and this will determine where you focus your efforts.
Look through social media at the physiques you admire and see who they are coached by, this will help you determine the level of work you will need to put in if you have a certain look in mind and your starting point. Also don't skimp out, cheap coaches can be good but chances are you will get what you pay for.
Be financially prepared
Competing is super expensive, especially if you are going to compete in one of the larger federations. Bear in mind you will need to fork out your hard-earned money for lots of things during your prepping phase (coaching costs, supps, food etc.) and for the competition (bikini/trunks, tanning, photos, federation fees and division fees etc.) but if this is where your passion lies then all of those costs will be worth it.
You will have to commit to it fully
There will be no corner cutting during your contest prep phase. If your coach gives you a meal plan then stick to it 110%, don't enter it into MyFitnessPal and check to see if the macros/calories match as your coach may have a different way of working it out and if you enter it in you may think you have some 'free calories' to play with, but you don't. STICK TO THE PLAN. If you stuff up and go off plan bring it up to your coach straight away so your plan can be adjusted, and they aren't in the dark about why things may not be working.
Don't skip your cardio, steps, or shortchange your reps because you are tired/time poor as these small cuts will add up in the long term, and you don't want to get onstage and think 'I could have done more'.
But also, don't feel like you must miss out on things to show commitment
There will be lots of occasions during your prep where you will have to attend events and there will be food that you are not able to eat and drinks you cannot consume, but do not let your goals get in the way of spending time with your loved ones. I had many occasions during the last 6 months (yes that's how long I have been prepping for) where my loved ones were enjoying lovely meals, and I would sit there with my black coffee, but as they knew my goal and were supportive it was more about making memories and spending time together than what I was/wasn't consuming.
Prepare to step outside your comfort zone
Competition prep is designed to test you. There will be physical struggles (DOMS, fatigue, etc.), as well as mental struggles (comparing yourself to others, feeling not ready, wanting to pack it in, etc.) and you need to be prepared to ignore all of these and push through. Ladies, as you drop body fat get ready to feel cold, all. the. time. and not fit into any of your clothes like you used to, but don't throw them out as when you come out of comp and regain the weight back (more on this in a moment) you will need them again.
Stay in your lane and trust the process
You will be tempted to compare your journey to someone else's, especially on social media (this is natural) but do not fall down the rabbit hole of comparing someone's highlight reel to your reality. Yes, someone may be more muscular/leaner than you, eating more calories, training less, not doing cardio, but bodybuilding is a very personalized sport and what works for one person may not work for someone else so have faith in your coach and their knowledge.
On the flipside if you have questions or concerns please don't be afraid to bring them up to your coach, after all you are paying them for their help, and if you feel your protocol isn't working and you have been giving it 110% (be absolutely honest with yourself on that point) then you need to catch it early so your plan can be adjusted.
Have a plan for post-show
Whether you want to do multiple shows in the one season, or just do the one, I recommend having a plan set out with your coach for after the show before you compete so you don't feel abandoned by your coach if you only used them to get 'show ready', and can help to stave off those post comp blues which can occur if you feel like you have nothing to look forward to anymore.
Reverse dieting after your show is very important, especially if you have been in a caloric deficit for a long period of time. Discuss this with your coach before the show day so they will be there for you to help you after the show and slowly build you back up to maintenance calories (or surplus if you are going into a development season) and you wont have a post comp blow out where you may regain more body fat than what you lost.
Enjoy the day!
The day goes by so fast, so take time to enjoy the moment and celebrate all you have accomplished! If you can arrange it have your support team that has been there for you throughout the journey to watch on the day and see what all your hard work and dedication has been for.
Make friends on the day, relax, take lots of photos and look forward to enjoying whatever post comp meal you have planned, you have earnt it!
I hope that this has been informative and inspiring, and I haven't scared you off competing! If you have any questions, want to see what I get up to next, or just want to have a lot of gym selfies pop up in your feed then please follow me on Instagram @jasmine_l.davidson

Sharlou is a 42.65m / 139'11 sloop sail yacht with a Displacement hull built by Vitters and launched in 2011. This luxury vessel's sophisticated exterior design and engineering are the work of Tripp Design. The yacht's interior has been designed by Rhoades Young.
The concept for the interior of Sarissa combines the feel of a New York-style apartment with the romanticism of sailing. Clean and crisp furniture styling is used in conjuncture with natural woods and a simple palette to create a very modern and clean look whilst maintaining warmth and character. Crisp detailing is achieved through the use of thin edges. Chamfers are used to maintain the strength of the design whilst creating thin surfaces that give a sharp and modern look to the furniture. This detailing theme extends from the main furniture, to the bulkheads, through to the door handles and light switches. The sharp detailing contrasts with hidden softness found in the wooden insets of the handrail and door handles.

text: The Puccini Festival of Torre del Lago Puccini in Versilia is one of those event that anyone in love with the Opera cannot miss. Every year in July and August the Puccini Festival takes place in the open air theater along the bank of peaceful Massaciuccoli Lake. Giacomo Puccini, renowned all over the world for his masterpieces of classical music, was born in Lucca and spent many years of his life in Torre del Lago in the coastal area called Versilia.
