Mike Posner Plays 'Ninja' Pop Up Show In Chicago's Lincoln Park
You may not have seen Mike Posner around a lot lately, but his sound is still shaping pop radio nonetheless. Working behind the scenes and penning hit songs like Maroon 5's "Sugar," Posner has proven to be relevant even when his own music has been repeatedly shelved. Now, with a long-awaited sophomore album finally on the way, the Dukie who made it big off "Cooler Than Me" is staging a comeback.
As part of his rebirth, Posner has been hitting the road and holding surprise pop-up concerts across the U.S. affectionately called "Ninja Shows." Last night, Mike made a pit stop in Chicago's beautiful Lincoln Park, strumming new songs and old hits alike to one of the best views of the city's skyline.
The set was extremely intimate (there were maybe just north of 100 in attendance) and a bit awkward (people jogging and doing lunges nearby), but you couldn't help but get a taste of magic in the air. Mike was honest and authentic. He was was close enough to reach out and touch; close enough to hear without monitors or an amp. And whether he was doing a verse a capella or taking photos and giving out hugs after the show, Mike Posner was as entertaining and genuine as ever, as if he had never missed a beat.
Listen to four cuts from Posner's upcoming album below.

Live Review: Two Door Cinema Club
There are three things you need to know about me:
- I registered to vote at Outside Lands music festival
- For my birthday my boyfriend bought me a Jambox instead of jewelry
- I am obsessed with Spotify
Spotify does so many things and it does them well. Spotify allows me to have the same playlist on 700 devices including my Ring Pop and IKEA clock, it gives me an excuse to bully my friends into following my Good Life playlist (yeah, you click that), and it introduced me to Two Door Cinema Club.
I went from hearing them once on Spotify Radio to becoming a loyal fan in a matter of 21 hours. In my opinion, Two Door is hipster music for everyone. I like it. My friends like it. My parents like it. My little sister likes it. My boss likes it. I'd be surprised if you didn't like it.
I was stoked to see them play at Fox Theater in Oakland on October 23rd. So much so that I begged my boyfriend to celebrate our 3-year anniversary with tickets to the show and proceeded to invite all of our friends. It was one big anniversary party (registry is at Williams Sonoma, in case you wanted to send something).
The show kicked off with an incredible light show that maintained throughout. Someone evidently spent days blueprinting ways for the stage to come alive and whoever you are: luminescent job buddy. Nicely done. I usually don't notice stuff like that but I was mesmerized by the exploding spots of green, rays of silver, and blue meteor shower.
I had heard some of Two Door's live recordings (thank you Spotify) and was already aware that their live performances aren't quite as crisp as their studio recordings can be. I wasn't expecting to be blown away; I just wanted a good time (that's what he said). I was right. They didn't bring the same sort of clean sound on stage, but their lyrics, energy, and lightshow (again, awesome) more than made up for it. There were definitely aspects that would have enhanced the experience (more interaction with the crowd and maybe a shout out for me to come on stage) but quite frankly, the crowd didn't mind. No one cared they couldn't hear what Alex Trimble was saying to his fans (we already know we're awesome and you couldn't have done this without us, thank you, thank you). No one cared the sound was not as well-groomed as they were used to. From the moment Two Door opened with Sleep Alone – my personal fav – to the moment they closed with What You Know, 95% of the crowd was dancing with the intention of pulling a butt muscle. The other 5% was venue staff.
Which brings me to the last thing you need to know about me:
4. I'm going to be Sam Halliday for Halloween.

The Weeknd, Live in Pittsburgh
Everything that happened on June 19th was pretty fitting:
- Some of my friends finding themselves on stage pre-show because f**k rules.
- Opening DJ playing pre-recorded mixes and pressing buttons on his DJ-doohickey that didn't actually do anything.
- A guy that may or may not have been my friend passing out because he may or may not have been doing something that may or may not be illegal to do.
I know what you're asking yourself. "Does this have anything to do with the show you're reviewing?" And my answer to you is, "Shut up. I'm writing the review, I ask the questions around here." But in all seriousness, they have everything to do with the show, because I had no idea what to expect coming into this performance. I did not expect any of those things to happen, and I certainly didn't expect it to end up being the best live show I've ever seen.
Abel Tesfaye, dubbed the Songbird of Our Generation by a guy I talked to once, is one mysterious dude. We know he's 22 years old and that he's tight with Drake, but that's about it. Wiki says he's signed to Cash Money, but I doubt that that is true. His three critically acclaimed mixtapes (House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence) include a whole lot of sex, drugs, and RnB. And a little bit more sex and drugs. All three of his projects are great, but if you've listened to his music you realize why I had a hard time figuring out how the hell he was going to create a performance that would be anything but forgettable. His recorded music is just about anything but exciting, leaving me skeptical that he would be able to pull off that good of a live show.
Like I noted earlier, the opener was laughably bad. A hipster-DJ wearing a beret and cargos was not something I expected to witness in the flesh in my life, but #YOLO right? Wrong. He played mixes that he obviously made beforehand, including a track from Danger Mouse's The Grey Album and the edited version of Wiz Khalifa's "Say Yeah." So you could say that I wasn't in the highest of spirits immediately before Abel's set.
It didn't take long for me to get excited, though. The Weeknd's live band strutted out to their instruments, and as soon as they started "High For This" the energy in the theater exploded. I was extremely impressed with the way that Abel was able to interact with the crowd without connecting with them too much, being consistent with his ruse of anonymity. He came strolling out onto the stage with an ear-to-ear grin on his face, getting crazy close to the fans but not close enough for the crazy white girls up front, as you can see in the video I took, below.
Speaking of the white girls, I'm not sure you can fathom the amount of thirst in that theater. Every single female that was their was ready and willing to poke a hole in a condom, from the 45 year old black woman next to me to the high school-age white girls in their homemade XO shirts in the front row. There were baby momma's mommas in attendance that were ready to get down at the drop of a proverbial hat. Did I mention that the stereotype of white girls yelling the n-word during The Weeknd's performance of "Crew Love" is absolutely true? None of them seemed to have a problem with it. But I digress.
That energy and excitement was consistent for the rest of the concert. The band and lightshow remained phenomenal throughout the show, exponentially adding to the energy of the show. Abel barely stayed still, hitting his falsettos and dampening women with a mere look. His voice was just as immaculate as I'd been skeptical that it was; it was really hard for me to believe that his vocals on The Trilogy weren't adjusted in some way, but trust me they are not. His voice was near-perfect, and I only say "near" because calling it perfect is going to turn my ass to grass because someone will have a problem with that.
TL;DR? Fine. Just know that you don't have to listen to The Weeknd to go to his concert and have a great time. The atmosphere that he creates makes it impossible to not enjoy yourself at least a little bit. Let me know how yours goes.

[Album] Garrett Anderson – Within and Around
I have a legitimate apology to offer you guys–I'm sorry for not posting enough Garrett Anderson. I haven't posted any new music from him since "Lonely Eve," and in doing so have been keeping some really, really amazing music from you guys.
Let me be very clear here–Garrett's most recent album, Within and Around, is one of the best indie projects I have heard in a very, very long time. Garrett's voice tells a beautiful story in every song, and combined with his guitar, puts a gripping spell on the listener and really pulls you in. Anderson kind of sounds like the lovechild of The Head and the Heart and Ben Harper, and he has a truly incredible voice.
When you listen to Garrett, you feel like you're sitting around a bonfire listening to your buddy play guitar and sing–if only your buddy played a masterfully laidback guitar and had the twangy pipes of a folk star.
Within and Around is a wonderful mix of beautiful songs that simply cannot be passed up–do not let yourself miss this guy, he's too damn good.
He has an album release show tonight at the 8×10 in Baltimore, and if I lived any closer I'd get up right now and walk there. If you're in the area, do yourself a huge favor and get out and support Garrett's new album tonight–I can't think of a better way to spend your time tonight.
I've streamed some standouts from the album below, and head over to Garrett's bandcamp to download the whole album–support good music. Might be the some of the best-spent 12 bucks you'll ever spend.
Garrett Anderson – Texas Honeysuckle

Sunset Concert: Filligar! San Francisco, CA
Well guys, the G-Eazy show was such a raging success, we've decided to sponsor another concert in our second month based out of San Francisco! This time around, we've switched from hip-hop to good old fashioned rock and roll. Filligar, a rock and roll band hailing from Chicago, will be taking the big stage, following opening performances by fellow rock bands Warm Weather and Terraplane Sun.
Filligar is visiting us in San Francisco after having wrapped up an international tour. They just might be on their way to becoming one of the youngest and hottest rock and roll bands in the world. It's an enormous claim, but they have the ability to live up to it. Their sound is full, their energy is through the roof, and apparently they put on one of the best live shows the world has to offer. Needless to say, it's going to be a fun night. The floors will be rattling in San Francisco…
MP3: "A Promise" – Warm Weather (via Knox Road)
Concert Details:
- Thursday, January 26 @ 8 PM
- Location: Cafe Du Nord (2174 Market St, San Francisco)
- Special: Thrillcall will be at the show, offering drink specials for those who download their mobile app!

Live: Dispatch (100 Bands Review #68)
What's Left: 35 Days. 32 Bands.
Band #68: Dispatch
Expectations: Going into it, I was unsure exactly what to expect. I'd seen State Radio (lead singer Chad Urmston's other band) live a few times, and they were always great. I had heard good things about Dispatch's live show (quasi-legendary things, actually) so my expectations were rather inflated. Chad's voice was really awesome each time I saw State Radio live, and I was excited to hear him singing with the rest of the guys in Dispatch. The show was outside at Chicago's Millenium Park (AWESOME VENUE) so that added another element to the show. Perfect summer mood, perfect summer night.
Pre-Show: Just included this to inform you how I was feeling going into the show–the weather was perfect, it was a straight up majestic day in Chicago, and we were pre-gaming the concert on my buddy's 40 foot, wooden, OG sailboat. So I mean, the concert kind of had to be amazing for everything to live up to my expectations/the glorious afternoon leading into the show.
Concert: I used the term majestic in my last paragraph. Majestic would be an understatement. Not only was Dispatch completely in tune and on point with each other as a band, but you could really feel an awesome connection between the audience and the crowd. A feeling like that really elevates any concert experience, and there was something truly tangible in the air that night between the crowd and the band. They played all of their classics and left nobody (at least none of my friends, who are all very big Dispatch fans) wishing they had played a different set. They did some awesome covers, and it was easy to tell how much fun the band was having onstage. They had a pretty big band, and some of the percussion instruments especially were pretty cool. Rain sticks, big African drums, etc…all of the guys were adding their own unique sound to every jam.
Concert Afterglow: One of my favorite summer nights to date. This is exactly what makes Chicago my favorite city in the summer. It is absolutely beautiful–just ask 'Ye how he feels about summertime Chi. If Dispatch ever plays in your area code, or even somewhere remotely close to you, it is a necessity in my mind that you see them. Don't pass the opportunity up.

Michael Eboda, editor of the New Nation newspaper, was pulling into the driveway of his home in Hackney, east London, with his girlfriend Yvonne, on 16 February when they were asked to pull over by four police officers.
He claims more than 30 officers then arrived, many armed and others with dogs, and began frisking the couple and searching Mr Eboda's Jaguar car.
He claims he was told by the officers he was being searched because his car and skin colour "fit the profile" of those involved in gun crime in the area.
"I was completely and utterly humiliated on my own doorstep," he told The Observer newspaper.
"I've said it before and I'll say it again: Arbitrary stop and search will only serve to increase tension between the police and minority ethnic communities.
Section 60
"I have already consulted with solicitors and there is a very strong possibility that I will be taking legal action over this."
Scotland Yard said Mr Eboda was stopped because police had issued a Section 60 notice in the streets around his home.
The order, given under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act, gives police the right to stop and search any person or vehicle, within a particular area, for a specific time, whether or not they suspect the person is carrying weapons.
The Scotland Yard spokesman said is was a "specific operation to target a specific problem".
Locations targeted
"The borough of Hackney has suffered 23 firearms offences since the beginning of this year," the spokesman added.
"We don't have intelligence on all the perpetrators so these operations target the location where theses shootings occur.
"The black community in Hackney, like other residents in the borough, expect us to take measure to prevent or detect these crimes.
"We would not take these steps without their consent."
Mr Eboda has so far made no formal complaint to the Metropolitan Police.

No one knows the ins and outs of hosting the Academy Awards better than Billy Crystal. For the eight-time host, who will take the stage this Sunday to emcee Hollywood's biggest night for the first time in eight years, the Oscars have always been deeply personal. "When I would first watch it—[at] 6 or 7 years old, watching on a black-and-white TV—I very rarely could stay up until the Best Picture award, so my mother would write down who won and when I came into the kitchen the next morning, the list of winners would be in my cereal bowl," he tells EW in an exclusive, wide-ranging interview in this week's issue. "It's important that the show be good, and I take it really seriously."
Still, when he makes his entrance for this year's show, Crystal may not find that Oscar stage as cozy a place as he did 21 years ago, when he first took on the gig. Ratings for the telecast have steadily ebbed in recent years, complaining about the show has become a national pastime, and last year's Oscars, hosted by Anne Hathaway and James Franco, were widely slammed as a clumsy attempt by the Academy to lure in younger viewers. Crystal says he knows how high the stakes are for this year's show: "There's a big responsibility to the job—I think more so this year because people were not happy last year," he says. "I've got to deliver."
For more of our interview with Crystal — including the never-before-reported backstory on how he came to host this year's show, his Oscar-watching ritual at home, and his thoughts on which movies should have gotten more Oscar love this year — pick up the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, on stands this Friday.
Entertainment Weekly is now available on most tablets, including the iPad, Nook Color, Kindle Fire, and Samsung Galaxy. Think of it like the EW you already love, but on steroids: With our digital magazine, you can buy the recommended movies, albums, books, and DVDs while you're reading about them.

Jan.8 UpDate,JUST In:
The New Republic
Angry White Man
by James Kirchick
The bigoted past of Ron Paul.
Post Date Tuesday, January 08, 2008
So…label us "liberal" but know that we were right. Last Wednesday night, Floyd Cochran and Nicole Nichols aired a Special Edition of Eye On Hate where we talked about Ron Paul, the Republican presidential hopeful. We spoke of the mob of thugs and degenerates who are lining up behind Paul and their strong-arm tactics. Today, a video of some of those followers was published on the internet showing them chasing and throwing things at Sean Hannity. We told you – and we called it right.
Okay…I'm pissed and the gloves are coming off. Oh yeah – I have really been handling Ron Paul and his entourage of thugs with kid gloves whether you could tell it or not. But, that's over.
Now, I can't stand Sean Hannity and I find FOX News an exercise in bias and convolution. I think that keeping Ron Paul out of the New Hampshire debates was a big mistake on their part – and really wish they would have let him show his ass to the American people once more. Regardless of being somewhat liberal in my politics and world view, I don't like censorship or depriving candidates of their rights to free speech.
However…the cult-like gathering of thugs who attacked Hannity on behalf of Ron Paul should all be neutered. What a truly despicable display of mob mentality that was. Of course, they simply made the point that many of us on the internet have been trying to make when it comes to Ron Paul supporters. Being enthusiastic is one thing, but acting like a pack of wild dogs in the name of patriotism is something altogether different.
As many have already articulated – Ron Paul zealots are making a mockery out of this process and are attempting to create a climate of fear and intimidation for those who disagree with Paul or who have criticisms. In short, they lack class and integrity and have put Paul in a much more negative light than he was already in.
Now…on top of everything else…they are attempting to equate this man with Martin Luther King, Jr. Videos have been popping up everywhere claiming that Paul and Dr. King are very much alike – well bullshit. As I waded through some of these blasphemes – I was enraged that the Paul campaign is attempting to exploit our celebration of a national hero into another "Money Bomb" for their Messiah.
While the supporters claim that this is not part of the "Official Campaign," this move toward another attempted fund raiser is moving forward without an apparent hitch – and the videos are hitting the internet hard – without one word from Paul or his campaign headquarters. Of course, if you are Ron Paul, you don't have to denounce anything because according to him, people are going to do what people are going to do. Which simply means, in this case, if it adds to the treasure trove who cares.
Principled? I think not. Ron Paul is neither principled nor smart. As a matter of fact, he may have just stepped right in the middle of the biggest cow patty in the pasture. While the delinquent miscreants over at the Vanguard News Network Forum are getting themselves all worked up over Paul sidling up with an African-American hero, the tea-cups over at Stormfront are trying to work this to their advantage.
Scottsman4096 viewed it this way…
"We really are marching in a parade that borders on surreal. Lets all keep in mind the objective and why we are all doing this. I can bear holding my nose when I see an MLK day fundraiser for Paul ( I won't donate on that day ) because in the end, Ron Paul needs their votes too. I joined a local meetup group to promote Ron Paul, and we're doing all kinds of activities to get the word out, sign distribution and waving, sidewalk chalking, trade shows, and mass mailings, but I've really had to bite my tongue a bit and keep my mouth shut about my WN. And I'm absolutely certain there are others ( one lacked enough tact not to name the jew in front of the group ). This is something we ALL need to take a lesson on if we want to be successful in the future : infiltration and subterfuge. If RP loses the nomination or election, we try something else, but for the meantime lets blend in with the "Berkeley freaks" and help sell the candidate."
And there you have it. It's a real game to these people. You see, they firmly believe that Paul will further their agenda and they realize that he isn't even attempting to moderate or exercise any control over this campaign…hence Speak Out Right Now had this to say…
"A White nationalist will monitor where the donations are coming from and then will report back with an article that demonstrates that 95% of all donations originated from white liberals in white areas of the country. The same article will conclusively prove that balcks didn't contribute more than 5% of the donations in the name of their own hero, MLK.
"Blacks don't read. Black men do nothing on the Internet but view interracial pornography, and blacks aren't benevolent and altruistic people, they don't donate money to any cause but their own insatiable desires to fornicate.
"Remember, RP doesn't really control those that campaign for him. If someone wanted to, they coul;d easily start a "Algerian Midgets for Ron Paul fundraising campaign." It's simply a matter of doing so."
Last Wednesday night (January 3, 2008) on Eye On Hate Radio Floyd Cochran and myself spoke of the mob of thugs behind Paul's campaign and the strong-arm tactics being employed. We were the first to bring this to the general public. We were the first to say what others have thought better of. Now, we have the video. The angry mob screaming, chasing, and throwing things at Sean Hannity because Fox left Paul out of a debate – those were precisely who we spoke of. And we were right.
At 72 years of age, one would think that Ron Paul would at least realize that adopting a look of innocence and claiming no knowledge might work for a 7 year old – but a seasoned veteran of politics? How absurd.
After viewing the video, ask yourself what might happen should one of his hooligans believe that there was foul play or voter irregularities at a particular precinct. As yourself what that mob might be capable of if their numbers were to increase. Ask yourself if this is representative of the type of leadership America needs.
Read the statements by the racists on Stormfront who support Paul and ask yourself if he is capable of duplicity – of running a chameleonic campaign. And remember – silence = acceptance.
The gloves have definitely come off – and the "Ron Paul Revulsion Part II" will reveal even more about Dr. Ron Paul.

Don't you understand what happend during a revolution? Sean Hannity is a turd and so is Faux News.
You don't think the American public can voice their opinions?
Good luck to you.

Nicole: You are part of an organized Communist gang. Patriotic Americans must stand up and fight against Communists and their sympathizers. We must never allow the tyranny of Communism to engulf America. The REAL reason you want America to become a non-White majority country, is because you hope to use the non-Whites as your new Proletariat social class, to launch a Communist takeover of America, where White people will be sent to Gulags, and Jews like yourself will rule over a brown-skinned America with the lower races as your Proletariat.
January 8, 2008 at 4:38 pm01
Take your statement, "… We spoke of the mob of thugs and degenerates who are lining up behind Paul and their strong-arm tactics…."
And replace just a couple of words: "… I speak against the mob of COMMUNIST thugs and degenerates who are lining up behind the ANTIFA and their strong-arm tactics…."
And you will see EXACTLY what I think of you!

Royal Ascot 2017 preview: A movie script, a Middle East rivalry and an American dream
- From the section Horse Racing
|Royal Ascot
|Venue: Ascot, Berkshire Date: 20-24 June
|Coverage: Full coverage details available here
Royal Ascot: The most famous horseracing festival in the world… with arguably the world's most famous woman at the centre of it all.
As usual, the Queen will be holding court during what is acknowledged as her favourite week of the year.
However, her statement following the Grenfell Tower fire, speaking of a "sombre national mood", may set a more subdued tone for the week.
Since 1825, when the Queen's great-great-great uncle George IV started the tradition, the Royal party arrives by open-top carriage in a procession along the racecourse.
Timings are precise, though that may be a challenge on the Wednesday, with the Queen's Speech being delivered at the State Opening of Parliament and roadworks on the M4 motorway said to be causing headaches for equerries.
Since Choir Boy's Royal Hunt Cup win in 1953, there have been 22 more in the Queen's silks, none perhaps greater than the breathless victory of Estimate in the 2013 Gold Cup, the first time a reigning monarch had won the fixture's historic centrepiece.
In 2017, the Sir Michael Stoute-trained Dartmouth, winner of the Yorkshire Cup, will be seeking back-to-back successes in the Hardwicke Stakes on Saturday.
Harrington chasing first Royal Ascot glory
Forget champions Willie Mullins and Nicky Henderson, and even, dare I say, Aidan O'Brien, there is a case to be made that it should be Jessie Harrington who is named trainer of the year.
Harrington, based at Moone, County Kildare, has claimed a string of steeplechasing feature victories this year, notably the Cheltenham Gold Cup with Sizing John and the Irish Grand National with Our Duke.
Now she is looking for her first success among the flat racing prizes at Royal Ascot.
Two very smart two-year-olds head the charge. There is the unbeaten colt Brother Bear, who is likely to line up as favourite in Tuesday's Coventry Stakes, and Alpha Centauri - also unbeaten and also a strong fancy - in the Albany Stakes on Friday.
In between, Torcedor, who has two wins from two starts since the joining Harrington stable, looks to add another of racing's very shiniest pots to the tally in the Gold Cup.
While the team from Moone are out to make hay while the sun shines, so are their Irish compatriots, all looking to improve on a record 10 successes in 2016.
Aidan O'Brien will be in the spotlight the most, with well-fancied contender after well-fancied contender.
His Caravaggio is rated something of a banker in the Commonwealth Cup on Friday, although there looks to be a corker of a showdown in Tuesday's St James' Palace Stakes between Churchill, winner of the Newmarket and Irish 2000 Guineas, and Barney Roy and Thunder Snow, the two runners-up.
Michelle Payne: lights, camera, Royal Ascot action
The scriptwriters making a film about the life of Australian jockey Michelle Payne may be chewing on their pens as they watch her first Royal Ascot mount Kaspersky in action.
They already have a terrific story to tell of the first female rider to win the horse race that 'stops a nation', the Melbourne Cup, on board 100-1 shot Prince Of Penzance in 2015.
Actor Rachel Griffiths - of Muriel's Wedding fame - is set to direct the movie, which she has described as a "classic tale of the underdog".
Were the Jane Chapple-Hyam-trained Kaspersky to defy his outsider odds to beat Ribchester and company in the fixture's opener, Tuesday's Queen Anne Stakes, alterations to the planned screenplay would follow.
Payne said: "It's been crazy since I won the Melbourne Cup, and I can hardly believe I'm about to take part at such a prestigious event.
"The horse is in fantastic order, he's a quality galloper and if he's in good shape, you never know."
Payne, 31, will be hoping for a smoother passage during the race than she found travelling to the UK: had Kaspersky not been Australian-owned, tough immigration rules might well have barred her way.
Wesley and the USA challengers are no fools
The date of 16 June 2009, the first afternoon of that year's Royal Ascot, is highly significant in the fixture's long and colourful history.
On that day, the Wesley A Ward-trained two-year-old Strike The Tiger led all the way and held on by a neck to win the Windsor Castle Stakes. It gave the USA its first win at British flat racing's summer highlight.
Ward, based between stables in California and Florida, struck again the very next day with another front-running juvenile, Jealous Again, in the Queen Mary Stakes.
Though it is perhaps an overstatement to say a flood of runners has followed, it has certainly become a steady stream as Royal Ascot added another string to its international bow, and that despite the much tougher drugs laws in Europe.
This time, five American trainers are expected to field a total of 14 runners, with Ward producing the biggest squad as he hopes to improve on a record of seven Royal Ascot wins - all bar one in races for two-year-olds.
The interest will be reflected in the television coverage too. For the first time, American broadcaster NBC will have a daily show covering the races.
Ward nominates the filly Happy Like A Fool - named after a lyric from the OneRepublic song Good Life - as the best chance of victory among his well-developed two-year-olds, and she will run in the Queen Mary Stakes on Wednesday.
But it is a previous Queen Mary winner, the brilliant Lady Aurelia, whose appearance in Tuesday's King's Stand Stakes is most anticipated.
Ward said: "She's a world-class sprinter."
Qatar v Dubai
The diplomatic crisis between Qatar and much of the rest of the Middle East, which has seen the closure of the oil and gas-rich state's sole border, with Saudi Arabia, may seem a world away from Royal Ascot.
However, with Qatar's ever-growing influence in a sport long dominated by the Maktoums, the ruling family of near-neighbours Dubai, there will be plenty of reminders of that tension.
The extra dynamic will be evident from the very first race of the week, the Queen Anne Stakes, when Ribchester, owned by Sheikh Mohammed al Maktoum's Godolphin operation, faces Qatar Racing's Lightning Spear.
Racing speculation has surrounded what might happen come the presentations were one grouping or the other, both of whom are extensive sponsors, to win a race backed by their rival.
The races at Royal Ascot have no direct race sponsorship, avoiding potential embarrassment, though the top owner and leading trainer awards - for which the Godolphin team will be fancied - have the support of Qatari investment giant QIPCO.
Don't forget Sir Michael
With a long list of fancied Coolmore-owned and bred runners, Aidan O'Brien is odds-on favourite to be top trainer, ahead of John Gosden.
However, Sir Michael Stoute should never be underestimated. It is 40 years exactly since Stoute won the first of his 75 Royal Ascot trophies, when Etienne Gerard took the Jersey Stakes.
Most of O'Brien's leading hopes will be ridden by Ryan Moore, the favourite to be top jockey, though equalling his own record of nine wins in 2015 will be challenging.
Frankie Dettori was expected to figure prominently too before injury forced his withdrawal, but the most in-form rider going into this year's £6.665m meeting is Brazil-born former champion Silvestre de Sousa.
Royal Ascot jumps to it
In the words of The Kinks, officials at Royal Ascot have demonstrated themselves "dedicated followers of fashion".
For 2017, changes to the exacting dress code have been sanctioned, and, for the first time, women in jumpsuits will be admitted to the Royal Enclosure.
However, alongside dresses and skirts "of a modest length" and headpieces "with a base of four inches or more in diameter", fashionistas will have to take care that their one-piece outfits are "full-length to the ground".
One official said: "It's like trouser suits in the 1970s, fashions change."
For the record, spaghetti straps, fascinators and bare midriffs remain barred.
For guys, it is so much less complicated: top hat and tails - black or grey - continue to be de rigeur, as do black shoes.

Gary A. Noble, 31, Denver, Colorado, was indicted on a 63-count wire fraud indictment related to a mortgage fraud scheme.
According to the indictment, beginning on May 1, 2005 and continuing until March 3, 2006, Noble knowingly devised and intended to devise a scheme to defraud lending companies that funded residential mortgage loans and for obtaining money from them and from buyers who paid cash for a residence by means of materially false and fraudulent representations.
Specifically, it was part of the scheme that Noble allegedly orchestrated the purchase of numerous residential properties by his family members, and in most cases, the resale of those properties shortly thereafter to his and his family's associates. The defendant used companies he controlled to facilitate and conceal his scheme. Through Noble Mortgage Company, he acted as mortgage broker and arranged to have false and fraudulent documents presented to the lenders to enable the buyers to qualify for loans for the properties. Through Noble Title Agency, he acted as a title insurance agent, and caused commitments for title insurance to be issued which made it appear that the buyers would be purchasing the properties free of prior encumbrances and that the lenders would be guaranteed priority leans, when they would not be. Through Noble Title Agency, the defendant acted as settlement agent for the lenders and received all of the loan proceeds and monies associated with the loans, but failed to use them to pay off the prior loans as directed by the lenders. He also misappropriated a portion of the proceeds for his own use and benefit. Through Equity Builders, Noble diverted proceeds of the fraud and concealed payments he made to facilitate the fraud.
Noble was arrested by FBI special agents without incident on June 3, 2010 in California. He will make his initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Denver, Colorado on June 18, 2010, where he will be advised of the charges pending against him. He has been released on bond.
United States Attorney David Gaouette and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Special Agent in Charge James Davis made the announcement.
"It is important to prosecute mortgage fraud cases to protect the integrity of the financial markets," said U.S. Attorney David Gaouette.
"Investigating and prosecuting mortgage fraud cases remains a priority for the Denver Division of the FBI," said FBI Special Agent in Charge James Davis.
If convicted, the defendant faces not more than 20 years' imprisonment and/or a fine of not more than $250,000 per count for each of the 63 counts. Noble could also be ordered to pay restitution.
This case was investigated by the FBI.
Noble is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Linda Kaufman.
The charges contained in the indictment are allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

The historic Grade II listed house which inspired Oscar Wilde's play "The Importance of Being Earnest" (1895) is on sale for £14 million ($18.2 million).
Wilde (1854 - 1900) based one of the play's main characters, Algernon Moncrieff's bachelor pad on the property, which is at 14 Half Moon Street in London's Mayfair.
Although Half Moon Street is now one of London's most luxurious and sought after addresses, back in 1880s Victorian London it was a highly colourful and bohemian place, where "confirmed bachelors," artistic types and theatre people lived and socialised.
The street was named after the raucous "Half Moon" public house which stood on the corner with Piccadilly. It was where Oscar Wilde spent his free time.
Here is a look inside the property which is on sale from Wetherell and Knight Frank:

Roughly anything that's not a number, integer, percentage, length, angle, time, color, image (in L4) or a functional notation with parameters of these types. Basically, as a fallback kind of interpolation definition, when there's nothing more specific.

Roxanne Chenel on Amarillo Sunset 5.11b Photo: Shaw Tron
The Red River Gorge is possibly the number one climbing destination on the entire east-coast of North-America. I had heard of how amazing the sport climbing was in the gorge. It's crazy jug-hauls and stunning scenery! I soon realized that the thing about climbers in Kentucky, is that they've all been there before and they'll all be back again and again. I was shocked to realize that I was one of the only climbers visiting the Red for the first time. I was a rare bread . That, for me, was a clear message that the Red River Gorge has more than anyone could ever ask for. As my partner, Roxanne, and I spent our first days in the gorge we discovered something beautiful. We discovered the orange sandstone faces covered with natural Iron-oxide bands. The Iron formed the strangest mandala-type of rock art cemented deeply into the Kentucky cliffs. Our jaws dropped. It was like climbing in a dream, we pulled our bodies up into massive hueco's that where perfectly placed at mid height, between the ground and the anchors. We swung on overhanging roofs from a bucket-jug to another.
Vincent wanting To defy laws of tradition 5.10a
Pocketed cliffs
As we arrived in the Red River Gorge, I was sure I'd be crushing all 5.11's and 5.12's in a matter of days. I was humbled to learn that my endurance level wasn't ready at all for this level of steepness. After a two month break from climbing, I got flash pumped on the easiest looking 5.10's. It took me a while to build up the energy to start climbing what I was expecting to climb! Its hard not to get frustrated at first. This is the reason guy's like Arno Ilgner teach us to climb without ego and without any expectations including grades! I guess, this is also one of the reasons why climbers keep returning.
Cyril working The Grim Reaper 5.12
Vincent's Onsight of Another Doug Reed Route 5.11b
The other reason why climbers are drawn back to the Gorge year after year, is the rapidity of the expanding crags. The route setters are unstoppable and the crag development is far from slowing down even after all these years. To this day, there are three hefty-sized guidebooks that cover climbing in the Red River Gorge. One guide is for the North, one is for for the south and another is for a brand-new sector called Millers fork. The Irony about Miller Fork, is that only 6 months after publishing the book. Most people are saying that the topos are already seriously outdated. There is just way to much climbing to be done in one trip.
Obviously, the Red is known to be a sport climbing destination above all. But that should not take anything away from some of the incredible trad routes to be found in the area. There are heaps of amazing traditional routes you can find amongst the kingdom of bolts. I recommend the northern book for all the tradies, but you will find some 5 star cracks in the southern gorge including Miller Fork.
''The Iron formed the strangest mandala-type of rock art''
Here is a Must do tick list for trad:
- Bedtime For Bonzo 5.6 (North)
- Roadside Attraction 5.7 (South)
- Cheaper than a movie 5.8 (South)
- Arachnid 5.8 (North)
- Autumn 5.9 (North)
- Pall Bearer 5.9 (Miller Fork)
- Blue Runner 5.9 (North)
- Rock Wars 5.10 (North)
- B3 5.11 (North)
- Rebar 5.11 (South)
Now for the sport climbing tick-list, it is a little harder to cut everything down to a handful of climbs. I remember saying ''this is the best climb we've done yet'' after almost every climb. My tip for you is to plan on spending a day per sector and bring a good car to manage the dirt roads that lead to most of the cliffs. Most sport climbers enjoy spending time in what is called the PMRP or the Motherload and Chocolate factory sector. The road is very steep to access the parking areas, so if you don't trust your car don't go down there! But don't worry there is a lifetime's worth of other climbs to try out
Here's a few sport climbs off the tip of my tongue:
Grim reaper 5.12b (Miller Fork)
Ro Shampo 5.12a (South)
Witness the citrus 5.11c (Miller Fork)
Amarillo Sunset 5.11b (South)
Fuzzy Undercling 5.11b (North)
Mona lisa overdrive 5.11b (South)
Breakfast Burrito 5.10d (South)
K.S.B. 5.10d (South)
A brief history of climb 5.10b (South)
Roxanne on Fuzzy Undercling 5.11b
Roxanne chilling on Mona Lisa Overdrive 5.11b
Crit on Samurai 5.12b
Now for a place to stay; the cheapest, most obvious place to stay would be Miguel's Pizza/Campground. They make delicious pizza and offer a 2$ a night stay! It's the perfect dirtbagger option. You can also stay at Lago linda's, It's a quieter more relaxed Hideaway. It's a great place for dogs to run around and great if you also want a Shower... Showers at Miguels also exist, it's just more of an adventure! Finally, there is also the Land of arches which is similar to Lago lindas. It's in a different location, depending on the areas you would want to go to!
Roxanne Flagging the shit out of Ro Shampo 5.12a
All in all, for me Kentucky was a lot of fun. The taste of the good bourbon we had down there is one of my fondest memories. The whiskey just makes it an ideal place for climbers! Again on the plus side, the good'ol Kentucky accent wont let any traveler down. It just makes me so happy when I get to chat with the locals!
Red River Gorge! I'll be back!

- Upon setting off untie your own mooring lines and not those belonging to your neighbour's boat. Never admit to anyone that you have made such a schoolboy error.
- Always make sure you are travelling on the proper side of the river. Just like driving on a road there is a right and wrong way. There are various tactics you can employ to ensure you get this right - the most obvious one is to look at the skipper of the oncoming boat. If he/she is waving their arms madly at you and shouting obscenities then you can safely assume that you should move to the clear water and pretend that you knew this all along. Another way is to remember the following phrase: THE OTHER SIDE, NUMPTY.
- Make sure you have enough fuel to get to your intended destination. It's no good just hoping for the best and then hitting a sandbank that tilts your boat so the engine runs dry. Your engine will also agree with this.
- If you forget the above send your hubby, who should be nicely pickled in Pimms by now, back to your home mooring to fetch the bike that you forgot to take. Tell him to collect fuel and cycle it back to you.
- Call out your neighbour to rescue you. Confuse him by being indecisive as to whether you actually need rescuing or not. Make it absolutely clear that you did NOT phone him to brag about your own idiocy. You should never tell anyone about that.
- Stare forlornly at the engine and shout words of love and encouragement as it gasps and chokes and dies. As a last resort tell it that you'll only have to make it bleed if it doesn't start.
- Cheer madly when the engine responds to these barbaric threats and turn the damn boat around and go home before you actually break something.
- Never admit to anyone that you ran out of fuel. An exploding engine or any other form of breakdown is fine. Running out of diesel is a sign that you really ought not to be allowed on the waterways... at least not without adult supervision.
- If anybody asks pretend you meant to breakdown. Claim it was an exercise in boat handling and competency.
- Make no comment about failing the above exercise.
How (not) to be a pirate... or a lesson in how (not) to go boating.

Hello VallyP, Thank you for visiting my blog.
It will be a couple of years until we are realistically ready to sell and try life as landlubbers. We are very attached to life on the water. I think, whatever happens, we'll eventually end up back on the river again.

1 Super cute Domo backpack for $18, WHICH I HAGGLED TO... $15. Mostly I just complained about how expensive it was to my friends who all nodded eagerly back at me. Then I complained to the guy selling it. He gave me a helpless look and said "Okay you can have it for 15." SCORE.
2 A set of gift boxes, a coin purse, and a notebook. COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY TO MY SURVIVAL (I mean, who writes in notebooks anymore?) (I DO!) (but I have like 3 unused ones still in my drawer) BUT ADORABLE, NO? Yes. The gift boxes were $3, and the coin purse & notebook were 2 for $4.
3 CAT EARS and a Hello Kitty barrette! 2 for $10. Both are accessories that I can wear to work... sadly. I work at a booth selling Hello Kitty items, what do you expect me to wear? A tailored 2-piece suit with stilettos?
I promise you I'm not the weirdest Chinese girl you have ever met. Swear to God.
But I think working at two sushi spots and the Hello Kitty booth has... changed me.
On a different note, I was finally fired from Sashimi Sushi... So am now currently hunting for another job PLUS a place to live for my upcoming second year at UBC. Preferably around Commercial-Broadway skytrain station or Metrotown OH MY GOD IF I LIVE AT METRO I MIGHT JUST BECOME THE WEIRDEST CHINESE GIRL YOU HAVE EVER MET. Hel-lo, they have T&T, random Asian clothing stores, and a bazillion Chinese people living in one tiny community.
But honestly, I need to find an apartment, and fast.
And now a relic from the riot grrrl + Sassy mag era.

Mimi's Chicken in Potato Chips
For the first thirteen years of my life I spent every weekend with my Great Aunt Mimi. I couldn't wait for Friday to come cause I knew she'd be pulling up in the driveway to whisk me away. For the most part we always went to my Grandmothers house to eat or sometimes to a restaurant. Mimi wasn't big on cooking but once in a great while my Aunt would say; "Little Love what do you say we stay in and cook". I always melted when she would call me her Little Love, even when I wasn't so little anymore. Mimi said she had found this recipe in a magazine that looked pretty easy and sounded like it would be something we both would enjoy. Mimi said it was chicken coated with butter and potato chips. Butter and Potato chips how could it possibly taste bad! So, we went to the store to get the ingredients and back to Mimi's kitchen we went. We melted butter, crushed potato chips with a rolling pin, we dunked the chicken pieces in the butter and put them in a Ziploc bag full of crushed potato chips and I shook the bag. Those scrumptious little pieces of chicken got placed in a pan and off to the oven to bake. The smell while it was baking was mouth watering.
It turned out so good that we made it once or twice a month. We especially liked all the little brown bits of potato chips that fell to the bottom of the pan.
Chicken(thighs,legs,breasts whatever parts you like) this recipe does 6 - 8 pieces
1 Big bag of potato chips we used plain and added our own seasoning/but you could use a flavored variety(sour cream and onion chips would probably be delicious)!
1 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of onion powder
1/4 tsp of black pepper
3/4 stick of butter (melted)
There is no need for any additional salt in this recipe due to the saltiness of the potato chips.
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.2. Melt butter in a small pot/or microwave. Crush potato chips in food processor or better yet put them in a ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin(much more fun) don't make it too fine, leave some bigger pieces for added crunch . 3. Add garlic powder/onion powder and black pepper to crushed chips and shake to mix. 4. Put melted butter in a bowl coat chicken pieces/then put coated pieces in bag of chips and shake til well coated. 5. Place chicken in lightly greased baking pan and put in oven and bake for 40 - 45 minutes. Goes great with mashed potatoes and a salad.

Everyone READ THIS PLEASE.
Here's what's going on right now: something with the PS3′s internal clock has borked in some pre-slim models. This is not a PSN issue; it has to do with your PS3′s clock. This clock is NOT related to the OS clock. It seems to be a leap year bug. Setting your clock ahead will do nothing. All PS3s around the world were affected at the exact same time.
Does this affect me?
-If you have a Slim PS3, you're good to go. Continue playing it as normal.
-If you have a "fat" PS3, you may be affected. Some fat PS3s have worked ok, but it seems a good majority have been bugged.
What does this bug mean?
-If affected, your date and time has been set to a random past date. This prevents you from signing into PSN, playing any PSN games, or using any DLC. Your trophies will also not display correctly or be able to sync.
How do I fix it?
-You can't. Even if you don't sign into PSN, it won't help. This is a hardware issue.
So, what do I do?
-Wait 24 hours. Other products that have had similar bugs have corrected themselves after the "bugged" day. On Monday around 6pm central time, all PS3s will automatically correct themselves…maybe.
-If that doesn't work, we'll need a firmware update from Sony, which should be a pretty important priority for them right now.
Did I lose my data/themes/etc?
Your save data/games/dlc/themes are fine. They'll be fixed when the PS3 is fixed. Trophies are uncertain right now, but they'll be fine if you've synced them before the PS3 was bugged. Unsynced trophies are an unknown right now.

I found out after i reformatted my ps3 that this was a worldwide effect. Luckily had save some of my save data. DJ hero and another game didn't copy over. and all my game i bought i have to redownload them again. I should have googled this error messaged before.
Well since its the old ps3, just going to go play my older playstation games seems that they are not bothered by this.

I wonder what the answer will be?I note that Felix says "The Wikimedia Conference to me is where some of the most critical issues are deliberated and also the platform to tackle governance issues" and then "So, being here is very important to me because my voice can be heard". The Wikimedia conference is invitation-only, so most volunteers do not get this opportunity have have their voices heard. Is that a good thing, Felix?

Effective Environmental Health and Safety Management Using the Team Approach
By Bill Taylor
This book details a system that has been installed in plants throughout the United States as well as South America, Canada and the United Kingdom. In each case, the system, when managed as instructed, reduced injuries and illnesses by an average on 40-50 percent within the first 12 months. It is a logical approach to managing any organization's safety and health system.
Order your copy of "Effective Environmental Health and Safety Management Using the Team Approach," cited as, "an important and highly actionable blueprint for optimum workplace safety."
"As the retired Director of Safety for Springs Industries, I believe the use of the CTJ Safety and Health Management System helped Springs to be recognized in 2005 by Occupational Hazards Magazine as one of America's safest companies." Jerry Brooks, CSP (retired)
