Reflections on Britney's Circus
"There's only two types of people in this world/Those that entertain and those that observe" and Britney Spears is a "put-on-a-show kind of girl." That might be the only proverb Brit has learned in a decade long career. Still as vapid as a career that has become, whatever handlers handle her and producers that produce her, don't allow her music to become as prosaic as she contends her life is these days (yeah I sat through For the Record). So Circus is the comeback? And unfortunately, last year's Blackout, the pre-fab pop album of 2007 by default, suffered in popularity maybe because the world was more interested in Britney's descent into the maelstrom of her personal hurricane. Circus is certainly not as stacked as Blackout, beginning with the insta-single "Womanizer" which is a veritable dentist drill of catch-phrase and quickly following that up with the title track, the "theme" or artist's "intent" herein – "Hey, my life is a circus and I'm the ringleader" – it's filed with dancefloor filler, but as a document of her coming clean, her Motley Crue confessional, it's pretty infectious and hard to put down.
Those handlers haven't abandoned the fact that Britney mouthing "baby" in an nth number of variations is paramount to her success (from "Baby One More Time" to a song about her kids here, "My Baby"), the key is what wraps around those coos. Of course having Timbaland's protégée Danja will create some disposable sexxxy-back Timberlake-counter ("Kill the Lights") and the indispensible Swede Max Martin waves Top 40 with his fingertips on the ode to (sic?) Amy Winehouse, "If U Seek Amy," but the real treat comes with her tell-all chutzpah and the tracks that accent it with unlikely sources.
"Unusual You" would suggest that Brit has been listening to the Knife and Roisin Murphy (she probably thought this template was "hella cool" before the recording), it's a mid-tempo disco ballad drenched in neon strings and micro-house beats. Likewise, "Blur" and "Amnesia" are absolutely stunning, kind of beating Christina Aguilera to the punch of pop queens finally succumbing to Talk Talk and Portishead backdrops. Throughout she drops little lines like "smoking up outside" or "doing him for seven years" then talking about forgetting her address or "f'ing" till dawn (yeah, no fucks yet). Overall she appears to be clear-minded about her chaos six months ago.
Maybe rehab does wonders, maybe the music she had dropped in her lap made her realize she's got enough money to blind the public with the cream of the pop-candy crop, when her younger peers (It's Miley) pull in the lucrative Wal-Mart booty now? Circus is certainly not a perfect record (Blackout was eerily close), but at least it's current, tasteful, and unforgiving.

The Announcement Last Week Was a Misunderstanding.
Fans of the hit TV show "Duck Dynasty" were concerned about Phil Robertson after Sadie Robertson confirmed that her grandfater was unable to attend "Dancing With The Stars" to watch her performance, due to being admitted to the hospital.
She released a statement before last week's show that read:
"We are sorry to have to announce that the Evening With The Robertson's Show at the 159th Annual Bloomsburg Fair has been cancelled due to an unexpected conflict in scheduling," the fair announced. "The Evening With The Robertsons was to feature A & E' Duck Dynasty stars Willie & Korie Robertson, who were going to answer questions submitted by local fans of the show, who wanted to know how the Robertsons as a couple have raised their children, operated a successful business, dealt with celebrity status, and maintained successful, loving marriage for many years."
"My grandpa actually had to go to the hospital tonight. So a lot of them are with him," Sadie reportedly told 'Life & Style' following the results show on Wednesday.
However, according to Sadie's mother, Korie, it was all just a misunderstanding. In fact, Korie Robertson told Radar Online recently that it was not Phil that was hospitalized.
Korie went on to explain what had actually happened by saying, "It was my dad who was in the hospital, not Phil." As for what Korie's dad was hospitalized for, Korie explained: "He had a bad hernia that was causing problems. He is fine now," adding that he will have to head home for surgery. At the time, Korie's dad was in L.A. to cheer his granddaughter on as she rocked the dance floor on Dancing With The Stars. Most of us just assumed when Sadie said her "grandfather," she meant Phil.
The new season of "Duck Dynasty" is currently running on Friday evenings at 10pm EST on A&E.

People in the region have taken a great interest in air pollution. The risks of air pollution affecting people may be the main reason for this increase in interest about air pollution in Kathmandu and the country at large.
Because of numbeo.com's recent ranking of polluted cities in the world, Kathmandu was announced as the third most polluted city. The Clean Energy Nepal (CEN), Clean Air Network Nepal (CANN), Nepal Forum of Environmental Journalists (NEFEJ) and the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) addressed the issue at the press meeting 'Air Pollution in Kathmandu Valley- Myth and Truth' 6 June 2016. The meeting was held at the offices of Nepal Forum of Environmental Journalists (NEFEJ) in Bhanimandal, Lalitpur.
The programme brought together media representatives to initiate policy dialogue, and share facts about air quality in Kathmandu valley.
Prakash Bhave, Senior Air Quality Specialist at ICIMOD talked about fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and said recent media attention was due to the air's negative impact on health.
'Approximately seven million people die each year due to breathing fine particulate matter and it is the number one preventable cause of death right now', Dr Bhave said. He clarified the Numbeo ranking was based on average people answering eight survey questions. Only about 70 people had responded at the time of the meeting. Results were based on perception of pollution with aggregation of many factors but not on scientific measurements and data about air pollution. The pollution index shown in 'Breathing in Dirty Air' on the website is the sum of different types of pollution and is misleading as it's based on perceptions, not measurements.
Dr Bhave confirmed Kathmandu ranks 261 on global database of 2,973 cities according to the WHO Global Urban Ambient Air Pollution Database (2016).
He also took the opportunity to acknowledge media in Kathmandu for raising public awareness about air pollution problem.
During the event Rajan Thapa of Clean Energy Nepal (CEN)/ Clean Air Network Nepal (CANN) presented 'Air Quality Policies in Nepal'. Thapa suggested there was a vast room for improving policy and environmental regulation through better policy formulation and revision processes; revising and formulating national legislations; and by improving implementation practices, especially in part of governance and coordination. Establishing an effective monitoring system could also bring about immediate improvement in policy and existing regulations.
Dr Ram Narayan Shah, Pulmonologist for Madyapur Hospital Pvt. Ltd. gave a brief talk on 'Impact of air pollution in Human Health'.
'The immunity system of these groups is not as strong as that of young people so they are more vulnerable' Dr Shah said. The number of patients with upper respiratory tract infections is on rise recently. 'People of old age and children are most vulnerable to problems associated with air pollution'.
The event provided reporters with an opportunity to interact with experts to understand various aspects of air pollution that are important for accurate reporting. This event is expected to decrease misleading headlines that misinform the public and propagate myths. Around 35 participants from different media attended the programme.
A number of articles were covered in different media outlets and a brief analysis of the coverage was done by ICIMOD staffs to identify key highlights useful in communicating with media on air pollution in particular.

I've been traveling alot and meeting people in random places along the way, while sitting on a couch in JCrew, at a dog park in NYC, a farmers' market in West Tisbury, and out on the West coast where I met a man and his daughter on a rainy day playing in the pacific ocean. I love synchronous moments that allow us to make unexpected spontaneous connections. I am convinced they enhance my life.
Connection seems to be a common theme for me these days, probably because I'm more aware of feeling disconnected than ever before, so what do I do, but turn to my computer screen. I'm not browsing the web or stalking friends on facebook, although I do occasionally scroll through, and on a rare occasion I am inspired to share something on my blog. This morning I watched this video below posted by a friend and I liked it alot.
Robert Gordon introduced it:
"We, as human beings, think that through social networks, we've somehow become more social creatures.
The problem with this theory is, the more we "connect" online, the less actual human interactions we have, making us actually fairly unsocial.
A new video breaks down exactly how the social aspects of human beings have evolved and transformed, showing how we've regressed from a social standpoint.
Shimi Cohen shows exactly what's wrong with our social structure now, and how we manipulate how we want to be presented to peers, family members, and potential mates on social media, rather than having vulnerable and genuine conversations in real time.
Check out this video, and take a moment to truly assess how you conduct yourself, both online and in person.

About the artist & maker
Following a successful career in London as a commercial artist and illustrator, the dramatic scenery of Scotland lured Steve northwards, now being based in rural Fife. Much of his painting results from time spent in woodlands, mountains and coasts capturing fleeting moments of light, or interpreting the glimpse of an elusive animal both on location and at his studio. He also works from a hut on the edge of a forest crafting contemporary pieces with traditional techniques using sustainable greenwood. Although his practise is firmly grounded in nature, urban landscape and structure are other forms of inspiration. Steve is also involved in art teaching throughout Scotland – see Tuition. Read more in the Biography.
About the art & making
Paintings are completed outside in situ, or sketches and photographs form the basis of pieces concluded later in the studio. He uses mainly watercolour, oils and acrylic, though charcoal, collage or print may feature alone or in mixed media. The style is often representational with elements that are semi-abstract in nature. Originals, prints, cards and monoprints are available direct from the artist, or through galleries. Other work involves elements of weaving, carving and forest crafts. Steve also accepts commissions. View the galleries.

This coming Saturday, 23 April 2016, will see the annual Eco-Fair/Rock the World with Kindness event at the Bell's Corners United Church. Many, many displays and demos will be on site, including (of course 🙂 ) one for crocheting and weaving mats from milkbags. A few weaving frames (half-height; that is, you make two mats and then lash them together) will be available for sale (20.00); frames are made by the Gr.12 Fine Woodworking students at Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School in Barrhaven.
Bring your milkbags — but please, NOT all scrunched up in a garbage bag! Please take the time to prepare them for the volunteers who then turn the milkbags into useful mats and bags. First, though, please take all the torn and smelly bags to the Metro grocery store — many of them have a plastic bag recycle bin in the front foyer (the one in Barrhaven does). We do NOT want to crochet or weave with those. What we DO want is nice clean bags to work with — so we can make nice clean mats and bags that people less fortunate that us will want to sleep on and use. A handy and economic way to store bags can be found in this handout: milkbag-prep-flatten-and-store.
One change to note: this year we CANNOT accept finished mats. There is simply no place to store them until they can be delivered to Canadian Food for Children in Mississauga. Nevertheless, we are working on a one-day drop-off for mats and bags in the Ottawa area. News will be posted as soon as details of a time and location are confirmed. So again, please do NOT bring your finished mats and bags to the 23 April event at the church.

NT Level
- Mr. Tan Hong Peng
Key Level Programmes:
For this year NT programme, the whole theme of the programme revolve around a central theme which is "WE". The rationale of adopting "WE" as the overall theme is to drive through the simple belief that "Together, We will achieve more". We wanted the students to know that the school and their respective teachers are working hand in hand to help them achieve their dreams as well as providing them with an enriching education environment. Therefore, the breakdown of the "WE" program across the level is as follows:
- Sec 1 – We Seek (To help students to develop a sense of belonging in YSS)
- Sec 2 – We Strive (To help students to know that everyone can be the best they can)
- Sec 3 – We Soar (To guide the students to be the best they can be)
- Sec 4 – We Soar (To help the students to strive and seek their future)
- We Decorate: In order to cultivate a sense of belonging to the school environment as well as taking ownership of their classroom, the NT students work with their FTs to decorate their classroom.
- We Learn: Collaborating with the NYP Mentoring Program in our school, students who aim to move to more challenging streams as well as students who are academically challenged are encourage to work with the NYP mentors.
- We Bond: Each class has their own class bonding activities which are carried out one a year.
- We Challenge: Selected students were shortlisted by their teachers or identified via their passions to take part in national wide competitions or represent the school in national wide events.
- We Educate: The collaborated with ITE to provide the NT students from varied levels to help them gain a deeper understanding on their education pathways and choices. The school also provides opportunity for the students via enrichment programmes to help the students pursue their interest (guitar, singing, hip hop classes) or discover more about themselves (Social etiquette classes, strengthen finder programme).
- We Contribute: By working with the Pupil welfare department and the music unit, students were also given opportunity to contribute to the society.

3 Days* in NEW YORK CITY
There are cities, and then there is The City, as New Yorkers refer to their vibrant, pulsating, beloved rock of concrete. Few places on earth can rival New York's diversity, cultural expansiveness or downright kickassery. But the sheer volume of can't-miss activities can overwhelm even the most ambitious visitor. So here is a 3 Days* itinerary with a curated sampling of the best things New York has to offer. Ready your walking shoes and dust off your bike riding skills – these will be your best modes of transportation in the Big Apple.
Day 1* in NYC
Arrive with fresh eyes at one of New York's most ubiquitous institutions: The Met. Rotating exhibitions are routinely impressive and one can spend days wandering the permanent collection and barely scratch the surface. Highlights include: the Asian collection, the costume department, and rooftop summer installations. Entrance fees are suggested ($25 for adults), but visitors are allowed to pay what they can afford.
When your brain is full, hop on a City Bike and glide into Central Park. Designed by landscape architect/ urban wizard Frederick Law Olmsted, the park is a bath for the senses with gently curving pathways, grassy fields and quiet ponds. Pedal down the eastern pathway heading south – you can stop at The Lake for a paddleboat ride or a nap in Sheep Meadow, or you might opt to keep moving and enjoy the breeze.
After exiting the park, keep heading south toward to Eataly, Mario Batali's Italian food bazaar in the Flatiron district. Inside you can choose from a variety of food stations, stalls and restaurants – don't miss the seasonal bruschetta at veggie-driven Le Verdure or the homemade ale on the rooftop beer garden.
Round out your afternoon with some shopping in Soho and the Lower East Side. I like to start on Elizabeth just below Houston at Love Adorned (distinctive jewelry & home goods) and work my way (expensively) south toward Edith Machinist (vintage mecca) on Rivington and Ludlow.
When you're ready to nosh and imbibe, stumble into any of the impossibly cool watering holes in the area. I recommend Barrio Chino for party people who appreciate good tequila and guac, 'inoteca for excellent wine and small Italian plates, or Schiller's Liquor Bar for a boisterous 'see-and-be-seen' vibe.
Day 2* in NYC
A pilgrimage through the (notorious?) birthplace of hipsterdom is a good way to spend day two; the pace in Brooklyn's Williamsburg and Greenpoint neighborhoods is slightly more relaxed and provides a nice contrast to the crowds of Manhattan. Again, a bike is the best way to cover ground and explore these neighborhoods.
First, caffeinate at Toby's Estate-the coffee is delicious and strong enough to jet-fuel a day of Brooklyn explorations. You'll find the best shopping on Berry, Bedford and Grand. Pop into the ubiquitous Catbird for delicate hipster jewelry and gifts.
Also check out Sprout Home on Grand for cool terrariums and artsy urban gardening ideas. If you have time, bike over to The Brooklyn Kitchen home of the much-touted Meat Hook butchery and fun recreational cooking classes like Thai street food and pickling with McClure's.
Now, prepare yourself for sandwich nirvana: Saltie on Grand is run by a trio of local chefs and will blow your socks off with carefully sourced ingredients and crunchy, chewy focaccia bread. Take your order to go, grab a fistful of napkins and head to East River State Park for a sloppy picnic lunch in the shadow of the Manhattan skyline. If it happens to be Sunday, you're perfectly positioned to delve into Brooklyn Flea, which hosts over 150 vendors of vintage loot, antiques and artisanal food.
From there, bike north into Greenpoint, once a Polish immigrant enclave, now one of the hippest neighborhoods in BK. Stop by From The Source for décor inspiration, a cavernous furniture outlet specializing in raw, reclaimed wood pieces. Then make your way to Transmitter Park – walk down the pier for an incredible view of both Brooklyn and Manhattan.
When you're ready for a drink, tuck into some craft cocktails at nearby Ramona. I can say from personal experience, every cocktail on the menu is truly lovely. Think: house-made grenadines and syrups, small batch booze and fresh herb infusions. Once you're sufficiently tipsy, mop up the fumes with some of the city's best pizza at Paulee Gee's across the street. All of the wood-fire gourmet pies are outstanding, but I am partial to the Ricotta Be Kiddin' Me and the Hellboy. There is also a 'Secret Pizza' menu that features a cold butter crust. Yup.
Day 3* in NYC
Final day wanderings should include the West Village and meatpacking district. Begin the morning at the new Whitney Museum on Gansevoort where you can browse the best 20th and 21st century American art or just take in the Renzo Piano-designed building and grounds. One short block west you'll find The High Line, an old elevated section of railroad tracks that's been redesigned as an aerial park running about 1.5 miles along the west side. Seasonal plantings and comfortable lounging areas line the walkway. You can pop down to Chelsea Market and grab a lobster roll or hand-pressed tacos to go. Or snag a table at Terroir for wine and small plates.
After lunch, head south into the winding web of Greenwich Village. High-end boutiques and cafes abound. For clothing and accessories don't miss Castor and Pollux and Albertine. A visit to the original Murray's Cheese on Bleecker is also worthwhile. You can sample your way through their extensive selection gooey brilliance and leave with some stinky souvenirs.
Ingest your final meal at Rosemary's, an airy, rustic trattoria that serves fresh, sustainable Italian fare mostly sourced from their rooftop garden. The fresh bread and floor-to-ceiling windows make up for the slightly priggish attitude. Bring your New York City adventure to a close with a nightcap at the White Horse Tavern, a famous Bohemian literary haunt that's been around since 1880.

Detailing the process of writing novels about the ancient days of Kobol, as referenced in Battlestar Galactica, plus other novels and stories. Expect pictures, Kobollian/Colonial history lessons and much more. Expect SPOILERS of both "Battlestar Galactica" and "Caprica."
Sunday, July 10, 2011
Writing, Part I
If I was driving, if I was in the shower, if I'm daydreaming, whatever. I thought about the show quite a bit. Unlike many fans, I felt very satisfied by the ending and the various resolutions. Many questions were left unanswered but I wasn't expecting them to be tied up with a pretty bow for me. Even Starbuck** and what she was. Didn't bother me.
Because of my love for mythology, I was often drawn to the stuff left rather untouched since the first episodes of season two: Kobol. I thought about the Lords of Kobol pretty much all the time in those spare moments in August. I pondered scenario after scenario detailing who or what the Lords could be, why certain people did certain things, why a certain tribe left, and so on. Over time, I had half a story bouncing around in my head. Eventually, I came to the realization that I might be able to write a book about it.
Now, I had written things before. Nothing I felt confident enough about to send off to publishers, but still ... I had written whole books before. But to do a BSG novel? It seemed daunting.
September came and the wife and I were at Dragon*Con in Atlanta. She brought along her crappy little HP Netbook and I created a Wordpad file. In it, I sketched out the tidbits about the Lords that I knew needed to be covered and drew up a crude timeline. By the end of the weekend, I had a plan.
Next time, I'll go over some of the (non-spoilery) details of those initial files and maybe some of the info about Kobol we know from the show.
** - Starbuck was Jesus. Died, resurrected and then ascended. That sound was your mind blowing.

Wow! So the questions I had asked in my posting in your Facebook Kobol page are now answered. lol I once felt a certain inspiration to write a Star Trek: Next Generation script, but I did not get further than a rough outline in my head. Glad that you decided to write about your ideas and the questions you wanted answered, because I want to know more about Kobol and what happened there to cause the Tribes to leave their home.ReplyDelete
DragonCon is so great! I went twice, and I glad that I did, really enjoyed it.
Looking forward to reading more of this blog.

Local Bites: FlameStone American Grill
A couple of weeks ago, I got the chance to host a food bloggers' brunch at FlameStone American Grill in Oldsmar, about a 30-minute drive from my home sweet home in South Tampa. Although I'd heard a lot of great reviews about this spot, I hadn't been able to try it for myself, and was excited to discover if it truly lives up to the hype. I invited some fellow bloggers who are actively involved in highlighting their local community and the foodie treasures it holds - keep on scrolling for a brief peek and a full recap of our eats!
We began the tasting with a champagne toast, followed by appetizers, which were paired with one of FlameStone Grill's most popular cocktails, the Bubbles and Berries.
Everything was delicious, but if I had to choose must-order picks for you to try during your visit, I would recommend the Shrimp and Polenta and the Tableside Guacamole. The Shrimp and Polenta dish is a seasonal item that is not regularly on the menu, but, if they have polenta in-house, they will be able to make it for you - just ask! It's a delicious, light dish that fully satisfies my love for shrimp and lobster.
The guacamole is prepared tableside, and you can watch as your server whips up avocado, tomatoes, garlic, onions, salt, jalapenos and lime juice into a delicious dip that you can order mild, medium or hot.
After the appetizer tasting, we moved on to our main entrees, which were paired with the Smoked Flamestone 21, a smooth bourbon-based sipper, which pH (the bourbon/whiskey snob) says is a must-order.
Both of these entrees were phenomenal. The fish entree perfectly embodied the mild, melt-in-your-mouth texture that I oh-so-love about Chilean sea bass, and the tomato fondue and basil oil were the perfect flavor pairing. The filet was extremely tender (nearly cut-with-your-fork tender!) and seasoned to perfection. I've never had a steak cut Oscar-style before, so it was wonderful to get that surf and turf flavor in a perfectly-portioned dish.
As full as we were by this time, of course we saved room for dessert! We were spoiled with two of them:
I'll never ever forget the taste of the S'mores Milkshake, and what an incredible presentation, with fudge and graham cracker crumbs outlining the outside of the glass!
I was blown away by each of FlameStone Grill's dishes, both in regards to presentation and taste - there was not one thing that I didn't like, and Chef Nicole and her team have made quite the impression on me! Although Oldsmar is a bit of a drive away for most, I definitely recommend that you make a visit to FlameStone Grill - you won't be disappointed.
FlameStone American Grill is located at 4009 Tampa Road in Oldsmar. The restaurant is open Monday through Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., Sunday for brunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Sunday for dinner from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. You can view the menus here. To stay updated on the latest happenings at FlameStone Grill, follow along on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

One of my favourite things about living in Brighton is having an awesome band playing on my doorstep, most nights of the week. Brighton may not quite be able to compete with London for live music, but I think it puts up a good fight. Although, over the years I've definitely missed out on quite a lot of great shows (big and small) because I just didn't know about them! That doesn't really happen anymore because I use a few different music apps that keep me in the loop for any upcoming gig.
Now that the Summer Festival season is truly over, it's time to look to the Autumn/Winter touring season when you get a variety of awesome bands traveling through town, as well as some local gems back from their own tours, to play some hometown shows. If you don't want to find out about gigs once they've already happened, I highly recommend checking out these live music apps.
I love Songkick and I've used it for years now. You can sync it up to your Spotify artists and see when they're traveling through your area. This is a really easy way of keeping track. Although if you're like me, play in function bands and use Spotify to learn tracks... Then you might get the odd notification about some cheesy 90's reunion gig that you're not that fussed about.
You can even set multiple locations and have a quick scan of what's happening in other cities. Great if you're heading off somewhere and want to fit in a show. I use it to check out what's happening abroad whenever I go away or what's happening in London whenever I'm there.
There's even a 'Recommended Concerts' section that shows you gigs you may be interested in based upon two things:
- Artists you already track and what other people who track that artist are also into.
- The locations that you've set. If you've set more than one, you'll be given a medley of recommendations throughout each area set.
To make the most out of this feature, make sure you're tracking artists you like and have the right location/s set.
If you don't have any artists tracked, you can still find out what's happening in your area by setting your location and scrolling through the upcoming shows.
Facebook Events
Once again, Facebook have swooped in and added something to the table. This time, it's through their Events section. It's now practically become law that if you're a band or promoter putting on a gig, you set up a Facebook event for it. Like me, you probably get a lot of gig recommendations via Facebook by seeing what events your mates are going to/interested in. Recently however, I've started using the events section of the Facebook app itself to find out what's happening near me, most days. You can use it to check out gigs, comedy nights, workshops or pretty much anything 'event' worthy.
What it's useful for seeing...
- Your Upcoming Events
- Events Near You
- What's Happening This Week
- What's Popular Across Facebook
- What's Popular With Friends
- What's Recently Announced
It does however mean that you might have to scroll through a fair bit of waffle and duplicated events (one made by each band on a certain bill for example) making it a bit of a pain to find out exact set times etc. But as long as you find the official event, you're set.
Bands In Town
I didn't used to use Bands In Town that often, favouring Songkick over it but with various updates over time, it's become pretty damn slick and I think it's become my new favourite. One of the best features for me, is how it syncs up to the artists you've 'liked' on Facebook. If I see a band I like or Shazam something playing in a pub and want to track that artist, I'll either follow them on Spotify or 'like' them on Facebook to keep tabs on them. This app grabs all that info, presents you their upcoming shows and recommends other artists and gigs to you, based upon your tastes. I've found this to work better for me personally than Songkick because my Facebook 'likes' are much more relevant to my tastes in music than my Spotify artists. This is purely because of the having-to-learn-function-gig-songs thing.
You can set multiple locations, similar to Songkick, but this app allows you to add a search radius on top. VERY handy if you live in a major City like London where it can take hours to get from one side to the other.
In terms of it's presentation, you can choose to scroll through events or a list of artists. Both of these options let you set a preference to either 'recommended' (which includes all the artists you track as well as those you may like) or 'tracking' (don't need to explain that bit really).
You can also search whatever is happening within your area by using: what's popular, just announced, specific genre or a broader search of everything.
The variety of presentation within this app is what makes it so easy to use. I find the 'recommended' aspect of the 'Artists' section so useful as it's pretty relevant to my tastes (thanks to the app tracking the bands I 'like' on Facebook). Those highlighted are the ones you already track and the rest are who you might like, who have gigs coming up in your area.
Are there any apps you use that I've missed off and deserve to be included? Please let me know if you've got any suggestions! Overall, I still use each of these apps every week. I think Bands In Town has become my favourite over the last year, but all of these work great and are really user friendly. It's worth checking each out because some will have gigs listed that others won't too.
Happy Appin'

Great & Little Tew had to settle for the runners-up spot in the Home Counties Premier Cricket League T20 Cup final.
Slough ran out comfortable seven wicket winners in Sunday's final.
Tew scored steadily throughout their innings but no batsman was able to get a really good total. Opener Lloyd Brock 20, Curtly Slatter 25, Robbie Shurmer 13 and Robbie Catling 16 all made useful knocks before Ben Parker, batting at nine, came in to hit an unbeaten 25 runs as Tew posted 132-9 off their allotted 20 overs.
In reply, Conrad Louth and Zaheer Sher put on 62 runs for the first wicket which gave Slough the solid start they needed. Sher was caught by Robbie Shurmer off Ollie Price for 38 runs which included six boundaries.
Shaan Khan was caught by Charlie Gaskin off Lloyd Brock a few balls later and Yaqoot Rafiq soon followed, caught by Price off Lloyd Brock but Louth remained in the middle. Louth went on to make an unbeaten 64 runs, which included six boundaries and a six, as he and Daniyal Akhtar 15 saw Slough home in the 16th over.
Earlier, Tew had overcome High Wycombe in their semi-final by 59 runs.

Beauty Doesn't Have To Come From A Shop
In case you are unfamiliar with the wonder world, then you're probably wondering how to make creating your own beauty regimen with the different products, techniques and applications that happen to be on the market. The information that is certainly presented below will assist you to on the road towards beauty success.
You can always fill a small jar using a favorite moisturizer. You may put this small jar anywhere you go! Apply moisturizer whenever your skin begins to feel dry.
When your nail polish is starting to become thick and sticky, attempt to add a little nail polish remover towards the bottle. Put just a little polish remover in it and then shake it up. Using this method, it will be easy to use this polish a couple more times.
Beauty is what you are making from it. Beauty can be obtained from many places. Maybe you like to find wondrous beauty in flowers or art, or even a special someone. Search for beauty, and you could stay more positive in everyday life, that can boost your success.
Put on a mild moisturizer before using makeup. In addition to being great for skin health, it also helps put your makeup on more evenly. Your makeup will never look blotchy when you use a moisturizer. By using moisturizer, your makeup lasts longer, along with making your facial skin look fresh.
Increase your gray or blue eyes by using eyeshadows in shades of copper, apricot and yellowish golds. Select eyeliners and mascara which can be dark such as brown or purple. This reveals your blue eyes.
For healthier skin, use a dry, soft brush on skin ahead of entering into the shower. This can stimulate the glands that produce oil which means that your skin won't dry up. Make use of a circular motion around all of the areas of the body, top to bottom. Then take your shower normally MAGNETIC EYELASHES
A fantastic rose colored lipstick can conceal your flaws and blemishes. Put it on for your lips to get attention from blemishes. The nice and cozy pink tones compliment nearly every skin tone. This will likely draw attention out of the blemish and into the other areas of the face.
Buy some terrific makeup brushes. Yes, this may be pricey, but a quality brush can produce a big difference for your makeup experience. When you can't afford them, make an attempt to find discounted prices on auction sites to spend less.
To avoid breakouts and sustain pure makeup colors, you need to frequently wash your makeup brushes. Fill your bathroom sink with tepid water and a bit of gentle baby shampoo, working the soap with the bristles. Rinse the brushes completely, blot by using a towel, and set on a clean surface to air dry. This avoids makeup getting caked inside the bristles, in addition to eliminating the potential for unwanted organisms which may cause acne.
It is actually hoped you have found some helpful beauty advice to help you look great. You have the data and tools to start your own effective beauty program..

Hello everyone,
We're here now to tell you a little about our crowdfunding plans. The plan isn't fully finished, but we are making tangible steps and are ready to start bringing you along for the ride.
Kickstarter has certainly been mentioned on this devlog before, but until now we haven't officially declared what service we'd use. Given that nearly everyone uses it, you probably already guessed we'd settle on Kickstarter. We've created the campaign page (not live, of course), and are in the process of adding the materials and information we need. Our plan is to go live sometime around the end of summer - the final date is not set, but there's certainly no way we're going any earlier than that. So we have a couple months to build this campaign. Yes, we're starting right now.
As for promotional materials, we have two options currently in the pipeline. The first is promotional and instructional video, which we'll be creating by the end of this month. And once we feel our revised rules and mechanics are solidifed, we'll have review copies ready to go. We're excited to see what comes of both of those, and as soon as we have product in good shape we'll be showing those to you.
Thanks for following along! We'll be promoting our Kickstarter campaign more and more in the coming weeks, and we hope you take the time to ensure you are notified once that goes live. You can follow our Facebook or Twitter pages, or simply sign up for our e-mail list here. (We send only a couple e-mails per year, so don't worry about spam.)

As the entire RunCzech concept ties in with healthy living and sport, it won't come as a surprise to many that it also cares about the state of our planet. It goes without saying that helping the planet starts with the individual. This was the inspiration for the unique event under way at Prague's Running Centre aimed at all those who care about the quality of the environment we live in and also want to try out a free professional training session. For all those interested in the project, three options are available: 5 used and uncrushed PET plastic bottles earn you a free cup of Italian coffee, for 7 bottles - a free RunCzech rucksack, for 12 bottles you will be rewarded with a free race t-shirt and for 20 – a training session led by a RunCzech professional trainer. On top of that, for each PET plastic bottle returned, you will receive a new Mattoni Eco produced from 50% recycled PET.
"The Karlovarské minerální vody company promotes healthy living and protection of the environment which is why we decided to partner up with RunCzech for this initiative. It basically works as a kind of deposit system, mapped out by the Czech project Zálohujme/Let's deposit which we have been part of since its inception last year. PET isn't waste product but rather a valuable material and it needs to be treated as such," Ondřej Postránský, Director of Strategic Marketing at Karlovarské minerální vody, reveals.
" We are committed to helping people who want to live in a clean environment while also improving their own health and physical condition, safe in the knowledge that they are doing things the right way," Diana Rybachenko, RunCzech Marketing Director, reveals.
The Running Mall was built to provide each runner, irrespective of their level, comprehensive running support. They can take advantage of high quality facilities and services including training led by a professional as well as individual classes, yoga and massages. Visitors to the Running Mall can also request a gait analysis to determine their running style free of charge.
All Runners Are Beautiful is our way of welcoming everyone — and we do mean everyone — to the wonderful world of running. To a world of fitness and fun and friendship. This is an homage to everyone who cares enough about themselves to lace up a pair of running shoes and commit to making themselves a little bit better. That's what victory is, in our minds. Not winning, necessarily. But doing. And enjoying. "All Runners Are Beautiful" is also a testament to how we feel about running. About the sport itself. It is pure. It is life-restoring. It can be social or meditative. It can be a personal challenge or a slow jog through the woods on an autumn morning. Running is a joy. That's the message here. And everyone who's willing to participate in this perfect, beautiful sport — young, old, big, slim, fast, or slow — is welcomed. Is loved. Is beautiful.

What bond is best for my application?
Types of CBN Grinding Wheels
CBN stands for cubic boron nitride. This is a type of synthetic compound as it, like all boron nitride compounds, is not found anywhere in nature. The structure of this compound is a symmetrical structure not unlike a diamond. It is extremely hard, stable under heat and has a high resistance to other chemicals. In fact, cubic boron nitride is the second hardest material, after a diamond. These properties make CBN extremely useful for industrial use. Learn more about how it can be used as an abrasive or cutting tool--particular as a grinding wheel--and perhaps you'll discover how it could be utilized in your workplace too.
During the grinding process, you have a few options when it comes to what material to use. You should ask yourself the following questions to make your decision:
What is the material you are cutting?
What bond type and hardness do you require?
What grit or mesh size is needed?
What cutting speeds will you utilize?
What coolants and lubricants do you plan to use?
In many cases, you may decide that utilizing CBN material just makes sense. CBN grinding wheels are extremely hard and ideal for many jobs. Very little pressure is required, meaning that there is less heat and nearly no sparks generated. This is a big change versus using a grinding wheel that is not as hard. Additionally, these wheels are reliable and long-lasting, unlike standard abrasives, the wheel face remains straight, without grooves. The durability and low need for maintenance means that CBN grinding wheels are less-costly to operate than many other products too.
Because cubic boron nitride cutting tools are so hard and durable, they are ideal for use for a number of tasks such as metal grinding and tool sharpening. Plated tools, like the cbn wheels from CDT, consist of a single layer of CBN exposed from the bond instead of imbedded--like with resin and metal bonds. This also helps the wheel to hold its form and remain durable over the long haul. This will save you time and money and help provide optimal results.
When it comes to coated abrasives like CBN grinding wheels and abrasive technology in general, Continental Diamond Tools is your number one resource. We offer a number of options to meet or exceed your needs--no matter what your application. Additionally, we are experts in the plated abrasives industry. Whether you know exactly what you want and are ready to order, or you want to just talk to a professional about what options are available, call or contact us today and let us help you find the product that will work best for you. Your satisfaction with our abrasive products is our number one concern.

The Opportunistic Mindset | Special Guest: Michael Radparvar
The latest addition to the Career Now series discusses the Entrepreneurial Mindset. Our partners at Why Millennials Matter spoke with Michael Radparvar, the co-founder of Holstee, about starting his own business and advice he would give to his younger self.
WMM: Tell us about yourself.
MR: I am the co-founder at Holstee and my primary role is to share the brand story. As a company, Holstee started about 6 year ago. We got our name because the first product we ever made was a holster pocket and t-shirt together. Today our company focuses on creating art and pieces of inspiration that encourage a more reflective lifestyle.
When we first started, it was 2009 and the recession was in full swing. At the time, I was working at a consulting company that focused on training. We had all of these opportunities ahead of us, but none gave us the chance to work on the problems most important to us – the ones that got us most excited. We decided that we needed to sit down and define success for ourselves – the result was a 17-sentence document which is now known as the Holstee Manifesto. It was something we felt really good about and came at a time when our thinking was very clear. We put it on the "About" page on our website as a constant reminder that this is what is important to us. It's not just our company mission, it's also a personal life mission.
Not long after – maybe 2 or 3 months later – we started getting emails from friends. People were seeing our mission posted on Tumblr. People were changing their Facebook profile pictures to it. It ended up being shared millions of times across the web and was translated into over 13 different languages. It applied to people across a wide demographic. Everyone took a piece of it that was most important to them. It's been a beautiful way to build our company – on something so many people relate to or draw energy from.
WMM: What was it like to start your own business?
MR: Mostly fun, but not necessarily easy. However, I'd be surprised if any entrepreneur claimed it was easy to do! You don't create a company because you are looking for an easy life – I think that's a common misconception. However, is this path fun? Yes. Is it rewarding? Yes. Does it allow you to craft the type of world that you want to be in and that you want to bring other people into? Yes.
We've had a lot of challenges along the way. When you look at the manifesto, it covers so many different things that it opens up a whole world of questions. One of the challenges we faced when creating the company [based on the manifesto] was that – as beautiful as it is – it's very broad. We had to find a way to narrow down what we wanted to focus on as a company, as a team. If you look at Holstee's timeline as a company, we've experimented with a bunch of different things: T-shirts, a curated shop, letterpress prints, home goods, events, dinners, classes, and workshops. Now, we have come full circle and realized that all of those things were great, but there is real beauty in the idea of less, but better. It's about simplicity – focusing on the things that we can do really well and enjoy the process of doing so.
For us, we've had a lot of challenges along the way. When you look at the manifesto, there are so many different things that it kind of opens up a whole world of questions. One of the challenges we faced with creating a company based on the manifesto, as beautiful as it is, is that it is so open and so large. One of our challenges as been narrowing down what we want to focus on, a company, as a team. If you look at the timeline of Holstee, we have experimented with a bunch of different things: T-shirts, a curated shop, letter press prints, home goods, events and dinners, classes, and workshops. Now we have kind of come full circle and realized that all of those things were great, but there a real beauty in this philosophy of less but better. Simplicity. Focusing on the things that we can do really well and enjoying the process of it.
WMM: Any advice that you would give yourself 5 years ago?
MR: Looking back, I would tell my 5 year younger self to take the time to focus and build on one thing. However, we might be in a different place with Holstee if I had done that! I do feel like I gained a lot of experience from the path I took. I gained knowledge and awareness. I might have had to take those steps again in order to get where I am now….I don't know.
[I would say,] – keep an opportunistic mindset, but still allow time enjoy the process. I think there were moments when we wanted to do so many different things that we didn't allow ourselves time to enjoy the process as much. To me, working with complete focus and enjoyment is a huge contributor to success overall – rather than feeling so strained jumping from thing to thing.
WMM: How can people stay in touch with you and find out more about Holstee?
MR: You can find us on all social media platforms. @Holstee on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook… Subscribe to our mailing list! And I am @MichaelRad on Twitter and Instagram.
#Passion2Action | ACTION ITEM: Vision Board
Inspired by Holstee's Manifesto, we want you to create your own vision board. Grab some old magazine, get some paper, glue, tape, scissors, and get to work! Put only words and images that best represent your purpose, your ideal future, and words that inspire positive emotions in you. The purpose of a vision board is to be a constant reminder to all the goals and ideas you want to bring to life. Visualization is one of the most power mind exercises that you can do in order to achieve your goals.
Take a picture and upload to the social media platform of your choice. Be sure to tag with #Passion2Action!

About Us
Exercycle and Theracycle Over the Years
In 1932, a New York City mechanical engineer designed a motor-driven stationary bicycle for his wife who had a neuromuscular disorder. His hopes were that by helping her maintain constant, full-body motion, it would help alleviate her muscular ailments. His invention worked so well that it soon attracted the attention of others who wanted to keep fit but lacked strength or endurance. This machine, later named Exercycle, became the exercise method of choice for more than one hundred thousand people.
Over the years, fitness enthusiasts from all walks of life have discovered the Exercycle—from Presidents FDR and Eisenhower, to screen stars John Wayne and Jane Fonda. Everyone benefited from the Exercycle's combined movements of swimming, rowing, cycling, chin-ups, and calisthenics in one efficient and fluid workout.
Now, we have incorporated years of technical know-how and experience based on the original Exercycle to develop another revolutionary exercise bicycle—one designed specifically for the unique needs of people with Parkinson's who lack the strength and endurance to use traditional exercise equipment. The Theracycle helps with Forced Exercise—working harder and longer than one can do on their own.
We invite you to read on and learn more about Theracycle's many features. We are proud to offer a product that can assist people in their search for ways to improve the quality of their lives

For today's card, I decided to play in the My Favorite Things guest designer challenge for this month. I hope that by playing in all these different challenges, it will help me to be more creative and sharpen up my design skills!
I combined 2 different sets to make this card. You may recognize the main image from the Here's the Scoop set. On the bottom blue couch layer, I put a bit of post-it over the ice cream container and spoon so that it wouldn't get inked and then stamped it. I then did a bunch of paper piecing and a bit of paper tole using 4 different papers from the DCWV Blossoms & Butterflies stack.
Then I took the What's Up Cupcake set and inked it up with pink for the wrapper portion. I colored the wrapper with a pink Copic, then cut off the pink line from the actual cake part and colored it in yellow. I stamped the frosting separately in brown and cut it out. I also stamped the cherry separately and cut it out. Then I layered everything together and placed it on her tummy area with the stem in her fingers, as if she's pulling it off to eat it first!
Here's a close-up shot so you can see some of the dimension. You can also see the Stickles I put on the cherry for some sparkle.
I hope you like my idea for changing up this set. You could probably put a bunch of different things in her lap, like a present that she's starting to unwrap or some other kind of dessert (and then you could leave the spoon).

"Like all great fiction, The Republic of Nothing speaks for all time. And like all great dramatists, Lesley Choyce can build a stage on Whalebone Island and bring the whole world to it."
— Neil Peart
A small island off the coast of Nova Scotia declares its independence to the world. In this Utopian world, the ocean delivers many a curiosity, including a dead circus elephant and a raven-haired woman. When the turbulence of the 1960s draws the island's inhabitants into politics, the Vietnam War, and the peace movement, and when civilizatino lays siege, an unexpected character comes to the rescue.
Sound impossible? Not on Whalebone Island, a.k.a. the Republic of Nothing. Where else could a psychic castaway, an anarchist-turned-politician, and American refugees cultivate their eccentricities? This new edition of Lesley Choyce's celebrated novel features an afterword by Rush drummer and lyricist Neil Peart, leading readers to discover once again that nothing is everything.
The Republic of Nothing is published by Goose Lane.
Available through online bookstores.

So, remember about 3 years ago when I did the Radiance21 Scholarship Project for my 21st Birthday? That was cool, no? I mean, raising a total of RM15,600 within a month and converting it into a scholarship on SkolaFund was pretty lit, no?
But you wanna know what's even cooler?
How about trying to raise RM1,000,000 within a month to make higher education accessible to students from less privileged backgrounds?
Yes, you read it right. That's RM1 million.
Crazy, right? But isn't it cool? At first, it may seem a little far-fetched and impossible, but, hey, think about it. We don't need big donations or anything like that.
All we need is 100,000 believers out there who are willing to donate RM10 each to support this. That's not that bad, right? I mean, we have like 30+ million people in Malaysia, with around 14-15 million or so working adults. We're only looking for 100,000 kind-hearted souls, that's all.
Are you one of them? Please say yes 🙂
You can read more about SkolaFund's Big Community Scholarship Fundraiser on their page here. They explained (in greater detail) about why they've started this campaign, where the money would go to, who would be eligible to apply for the community scholarships and other important things, so do check it out! 🙂
So far, in the first ten days (as of time of writing), they've raised RM34,214 from 1,093 kind-hearted souls. That's an average of RM31.30/sponsor, which is triple the original RM10/sponsor they had in mind.
There are 20 more days to go until the end of the campaign, and we're in need of just 96,579 more souls to pledge RM10 to help make higher education accessible to everyone.
And even if you are not financially able to support this campaign, we do hope that you can help us share it out with your friends and families, colleagues and college-mates. We need all the help we can get to spread the news to as many people as possible, and, as the name suggest, it is a community fundraiser and we need the community to help share the news.
So do share the words out, and, if you are able to and believe in the power of education to help change the country, do sponsor now!
Until next time, stay awesome peeps!
