Warehouse 13 Round Table: "An Evil Within"TV Fanatic Staff at . Comments
Okay, "An Evil Within" wasn't the most exciting Warehouse 13 episode of all-time.
But the second installment of Season 4 still gave our Round Table team of Nick, Judy and Jim a lot to discuss. They breakdown the latest developments below. Gather around and join them...
What did you think of Pete and Myka's mission this week?
Jim: It was unique. It was hard to really hate the guy who was doing it given what happened. But, at the same time, he didn't honor his wife's memory very well by going on a revenge streak.
Judy: I agree with Jim in the uniqueness of the mission. People seeing monsters with tentacles isn't normal, even for Warehouse 13. I also agree that while it was hard to hate the guy for his reasons behind the attack, he really went off the deep end in his grief. None of this was going to bring his wife back no matter how many people he hurt/killed.
Nick: I thought it was lacking this week. It just felt rushed and out of place within the episode. Pete and Myka would have been better served being incorporated with the plot to bring Steve back from the dead.
Steve is back! Are you happy he's back? Do you think he still the guy we once knew or is being tied to the metronome going to change him in some way?
Jim: I'm thrilled that Steve is back for Claudia, He has really become her "Pete". I hope they can keep him around this time, he makes a good partner for Agent Donovan.
Judy: I think it's great Steve (Agent Jinks) is back. I thought killing him off so soon felt wrong. It's obvious Claudia is thrilled. I think Jinks is still Jinks but he's going to have to change a bit because of his new ties with the metronome. He doesn't have much choice.
Nick: I'm excited Steve is back partly because the show could use some new blood and partly because there was so much more to learn about his character. I'm a little wary about the metronome changing him in some way, but what concerns me more is Steve's resurrection after three days - Jesus didn't stick around too long after his resurrection.
Why did Jane defy the rest of the Regents in deciding to bring Steve back?
Jim: I don't think she defied them as much as didn't tell them. She and Claudia are a lot alike and in this case, they both agreed that having Jinks back was worth the risk... Only time will tell if they were right or wrong.
Judy: I agree with Jim. If I recall, wasn't it the Regents that asked Agent Jinks to go rouge – be a double agent to find out what Sykes was up to? I think Jane felt it was wrong for the Regents to allow Jinks to die for something they miscalculated and for not using the metronome sooner.
Nick: We're all in agreement that it was the right call for Jane to bring Steve back. I think Jane's motivations were pure, and it's a great way to show Jane's humanity playing at odds with the rules and regulations of the warehouse overlords because it's the exact same thing everyone on the show deals with albeit through a different lens.
Is Artie making more out of Brother Adrian's warning about evil than he really should be?
Jim: Artie is certainly looking for evil in every corner and event. Of course if Brother Adrian is to be believed the evil that is unleashed is pretty bad. On the flipside compairing a war with the destruction of mankind due to the loss of hope means that Artie doesn't even have a choice anyway.
Judy: I don't think Artie is making more of what Brother Adrian said but he is making it worse. He's seeing potential evil in things that may not be there. When he tried to stop Claudia, he was worried that because of his using the astrolabe, if Claudia used the metronome to bring Jinks back, it would potentially unleash the evil. For now, we won't truly know if using the metronome was good or bad.
Nick: Artie's nerves are certainly getting the best of him, and it seems like every premonition he had is beginning to come true; however, I'm with Jim on this because Artie had no choice in the matter: save the Warehouse and restore humanity or just let mankind die out. The choice was simple, and Artie is willing to live with his consequences. What's driving part of his paranoia is the fear that he can't tell anyone what happened, and he's literally struggling with the weight of the world and his choices all by himself.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker isn't backing down about protecting American workers from the effects of out of control illegal and legal immigration, even as seemingly everyone from the Institutional Left to the mainstream media to the GOP Washington establishment has come after him.
In an interview with the Quad City Times in Iowa, Walker tripled down on the sentiment that American workers must come first when it comes to immigration levels—after doing so earlier this week in interviews with both Glenn Beck and Megyn Kelly.
"A couple years ago, when the unemployment rate was at incredibly high levels and labor participation was low, why would we want to flood the market with more workers? So that would be a time when you would have arguably less. As the unemployment rate goes down and labor participation rates go up, the two have to go hand in hand. Then it could be conceivably more than we have today. So it's not a set number," Walker said.
Walker, the paper wrote, added that his focus is on making sure people understand that immigration numbers are a "factor" in wages and employment levels.
"My focus on that isn't an indictment on whether it is or isn't [immigration pushing unemployment up or wages down]," Walker said. "It's saying I think that should be a factor."
In the interview with Beck, Walker noted how he's spoken with Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) on the matter—something he confirmed again to the Quad City Times, noting too that he's spoken with many lawmakers and leaders about the issue.
"This is not me embracing any one particular lawmaker," Walker said, with the paper writing that he "had visited border states and with employers in Wisconsin and across the country, as well as lawmakers," and Walker saying that "Sen. Sessions being one of many" people he's learned from on this issue.
Sessions has praised Walker's stance, as has Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA), an economist who won his election against then House Majority Leader Eric Cantor by focusing almost exclusively on this issue.
"Even our side– the Republican side–we're scared of our shadow, we're especially scared of the 2016 presidential election," Brat said when asked by Howie Carr, a Boston radio host who's massively influential in New Hampshire, about Walker's strong stance for American workers—and the attacks he was getting from the media.
The buzz is that we have this demographic issue with African American, Hispanic voters and instead of saying, 'hey these are our brothers and sisters in the Judeo-Christian tradition…' we back track on our first principles and pay attention to what some of the crony capitalists want and they want cheap labor. It's just a bad brew… And the workers know it, but it all comes down to… the big money.
"Scott Walker seems to be true-blue from the midwest and… has fought hard for his state," Brat added later in that Carr interview. "It seems like he's a fighter and that's what people sent me here for, I think that's what they sent a lot of Congress here for– to fight against a lot of the destructive policies coming out of the Obama Administration. And we're not doing it."

Start Date: September 16, 2016
Expiration Date: September 15, 2019
New antipsychotic agents are constantly under development, and the ways in which antipsychotic medications are used in clinical practice continue to change. As new information becomes available, there are new indications, safety warnings, monitoring recommendations, and dosage formulations. It is important that healthcare providers stay abreast of these new developments to optimize treatment. Due to the high rate of refractory schizophrenia, it is especially important for healthcare providers to be knowledgeable about new treatment options to offer to patients for whom previous treatments have failed and educate patients about potential benefits and adverse events. In addition, many antipsychotics have labeled indications for treatment of other mental illnesses, such as major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder, as well as many off-label uses.
The purpose of this course is to provide current, evidence-based information on the mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters, adverse events, adverse event management strategies, clinical indications, and special considerations regarding antipsychotic use. This course is designed for pharmacists practicing in all settings who may encounter patients taking antipsychotic medications or be involved in initiating and/or monitoring treatment with antipsychotics.

Expiration Date: September 16, 2019
The care of patients with mental health diagnoses is by no means limited to psychiatric facilities or practices. Due to the prevalence of mental illness in the U.S. population, patients taking psychiatric medications are treated in virtually all healthcare settings. Anxiety disorders, as a group, represent the most common form of psychiatric illness, and in turn, anti-anxiety medications are prescribed and dispensed with great frequency. Therefore, it is imperative that pharmacists maintain current knowledge of these common psychiatric illnesses and treatments.
This course is designed for pharmacists in all settings. The purpose of this course is to provide an overview of the psychiatric pharmacotherapy of anxiety disorders and bipolar disorder. This course provides the learner with essential information on anxiolytic and mood stabilizer medications. Clinical pharmacology and pharmacokinetics are briefly discussed in order to explain the actions of the drugs, their effects on symptoms, their most common side effects, and their most serious adverse reactions. Interactions with other medications and potential for abuse of some drugs are also presented. Learners should be able to apply the material from this course to patient management and teaching scenarios.

The 411 on Blogging and Content Marketing
The 411 on Blogging and Content Marketing
Do you find yourself with "Blank Screen Syndrome"? You are not alone. Here are seven ideas to get you started.
- Answer customer questions: This should be a no brainer for business bloggers. Collect the questions for prospects and customers ask from sales and customer service; answer them. Put yourself in the position of customer and address potential questions. Make sure you do this on in your Social Media as well! Post to FB a leading question to lead them to your blog. . . aka an in to your business.
- Report the news. Focus on the trends in your field. Hint: check out Google Trends.
- Interview people in your field. Make a list of the "rockstars" in your field and create a short list of questions. Don't forget to include their photo (with permission, of course).
- Feature your customers. Interview your customers. Act about how your product fits in their activities. Include a photo of the customer with your product.
- Show customers how to use your products.Show customers how to integrate your product or business into their lives.
- Offer a photo album. Put together a set of images to show how your category is changing or how to use your products.
- Use a list of evergreen titles to inspire you. Here are 323 titles to help you with over: 125 Free Blog Titles, 99 Free Blog Titles and another 99 Free Blog Titles.
- No technical support. Most blogging software is relatively easy to use. If you can use word processing software you should be able to blog. It doesn't require much more knowledge once it's been set up. While knowing HTML can be helpful, it's not necessary. Skip the free blogging options; it's worth the investment long term to have full control of your blog on your own URL. Here's a list of 20 blog plug-ins to use. Does that seem a little scary? Contact the professionals at stern.com. . . they can help you will all your social media needs.
- Get technical help to set up your blog. The professionals at stern dmb specialize in WordPress and can help you get a jump start on your blogs. They charges about $500 to $1,500 to set up and customize a WordPress blog, depending on the amount of content and complexity of the design.
- Take advantage of WordPress free resources. Use WordPress.tv to get video tutotials andCodex.WordPress.org for all WordPress documentation includes beginner's guides.
- No creative resources. Like technical resources, creative support is often focused at the setup phase of your blog. This means investing time at the beginning to determine how you want your blog and related content to look. Once you've set your basic formats, it's relatively easy fine tune the design elements.
- Leverage your existing branding on your blog. Incorporate the related design elements into your blog theme. A good blogging webmaster can help accomplish this with little additional cost.
- Get freelance graphic support. Use your favorite graphic designer
- Convert information with simple tools. For basic diagrams and charts, use Word or PowerPoint (I do.)
- No images. Blogs need images. They're eye candy that draws readers in. The bottom line is stock images look it. Your readers don't care about seeing another posed photo of an operator or business people looking busy. (Here's help with images in general.)
- Use Instagram or other smartphone app. This is one way to enhance your own images no matter your photography skills. Since every smartphone contains a relatively good camera, it's easy to take your own photos.
- Take advantage of a free image source. Use Flickr. or the Library of Congress. Make sure that the images state that they can be used for commercial use and that you link to the appropriate source.
- Ask customers to share their images using your product. Get their permission in the form of a release to use the image, especially if children are in the photo.
- No search optimization. Blogs provide great content for search engines but their robots can always use a little help figuring out what's what on your blog. Here are six steps to improve your search rankings. Also, here are eleven tips to optimize your blog.
- Focus each blog post on one keyword phrase. Concentrate each article on one phrase and related search terms. Don't try to do everything. Here are some SEO blog specifics.
- Use the keyword in your title, preferably near the beginning of the title. Show the keyword's importance in your article. Also, incorporate the keyword in the first sentence.
- Use real words in your permalink. This is URL for the blog post. Don't use a computer-generated alternative.
- Include links in each blog post. Specifically link to at least one internal source or other post and to one external source.
- Optimize non-text content. This means to add relevant information including keywords to images, video, audio, presentations and PDFs. Make sure the filenames describe the media content.
- No traffic. Remember the goal of writing a blog is to communicate to an audience about a specific topic. Once you hit publish, you still must promote your content. Here are twenty-one tips to get traffic and another twelve social media tips
- Distribute your posts via RSS feeds and emailings. Encourage visitors to subscribe to RSS feeds and/or emailings to receive your content. You can do this for free via Google's Feedburner.
- Share each blog post across relevant social media venues. This can be automated or hand crafted.
- Include sharing icons at the top and bottom of your posts. (Note do this when you set up your blog.) Add a call-to-action to get readers to act. Also include email.
- Share your posts in your non-blog emailings. If you've got other email lists, incorporate a blurb and link for each post.
- Promote your blog posts on your other owned media. This includes your website and other customer communications.
- Link to your blog on other social media profiles. Let people know that your blog exists.
- Promote your blog across your organization and customer base. Include references on your intranet, employee emailings, and printed materials including packaging where appropriate.
- Include a link to your blog in your email signature file. This one can be done on personal email as well as across organizational email.
- No sales. To ensure your blog traffic generates sales, you must offer quality information that will build a following. Further you must direct readers to take action. (Here's some additional help getting your blog to sell(note: examples included!))
- Incorporate a relevant call-to-action (CTA) at the end of each post. Decide what you want readers to do. You can use more than one call-to-action.
- Include links to your product within your post. Entice readers to find out more about your offering by linking to the specific product pages where appropriate. Also, link images where relevant.
- Associate a promotion code with each link. Make your links are trackable so that you can prove their source.
- Streamline the purchase process. Reduce the number of steps between your blog post and the sale. Your blog can't do everything. A lot depends on your website and/or landing page to close the deal.
Keeping your blog going without the appropriate resources can be a challenge. Using this blogging 411 can help you find support to keep you on track.

Report: Mississippi State basketball coach not interested in leaving for old job
Arizona coach Sean Miller isn't the only former Pittsburgh Panther to say he has no interest in returning to the school.
Mississippi State coach Ben Howland, who served as Pittsburgh's head coach from 1999-2003, said "thanks, but no thanks" to returning to his old job, according to ESPN's Jeff Goodman.
"Howland is happy in Starkville, doesn't want to leave after a year — and has a highly regarded recruiting class coming in for next year," Goodman added.
Mississippi State has recruited well of late. Howland's 2017 class, which includes seven players, is ranked sixth in the nation, according to the 247Sports composite.
Additionally, four of the seven signees are included in 247Sports' top 100 players for the Class of 2017, and six are four-star prospects.
In 2002, Howland led Pitt to a Big East championship and a Sweet 16 appearance en route to Big East Coach of the Year honors. He took the Panthers to the Sweet 16 again the following season and was a finalist for the Naismith Coach of the Year award.
The Pittsburgh job opened this week when Jamie Dixon left after 13 seasons to take over at TCU, his alma mater.

eHarmony recently became a Quantcast tracked site to track their visitor analytics and have this information available publicly for 3rd party verification probably for potential advertisers to validate their userbase. The data is actually pretty normal but I was surprised to see how many Nigerian and Western African scammers are using eharmony especially since the sign-up form takes you about an hour to complete. They are probably creating profiles on eHarmony and waiting for one of their free communication weekend promos to start spamming everyone.
If you aren't familiar with Quantcast, they are an website analytics company similar to Web Trends and Google Analytics where site owners place javascript tags on pages they want to have tracked. They also use methods similar to the Hitwise and Comscore measures to estimate site popularity and website demographics.
Here is a snapshot of the eHarmony data and below is a link to the eHarmony traffic profile on Quantcast:
4,086,445 uniques in the US May 2008
204,275 uniques in Canada
27,960 uniques from Ghana
18,940 uniques from the UK
Monthly Traffic Summary – US
Page Views per Month – 352,187,056
Average Page Views per Visit – 15.68
Visits per Month – 22,465,275
Average Visits per Unique – 8.46
Uniques per Month – 2,655,417
One other interesting data point from looking at their analytics is that they aren't at all visible as a brand outside of the US where you see Match.com in tons of international markets. Looks like eHarmony might need to get some of that $110 million dollars they raised back in Dec. 2004 to work. I'm glad they at least dropped Dr. Neil Clark Warren from the commercials.

text: "The delight in immersing oneself in the crowd," was not completely unmotivated, flâneurs were "being viewed with suspicion since the keen 'reading' of urban physiognomies shows an affinity with the business of criminals and detectives" (Lauster 139). Walking the streets and following different individuals was not entirely innocent but rather, resembles stalking and often lead to criminal activities. The flâneur was an "unknown man who arranges his walk through London in such a way that he always remains in the middle of a crowd," (McDonough 106) he used this to remain unnoticed when stalking people on the boulevards. Following individuals through the streets of Paris, watching what they do, whom they talk to and other actions was not purely to satisfy curiosity but often lead to crime. The flâneur held a particular fascination with crime; "his wandering through the streets as themselves perhaps criminal acts, inevitable leading him into crime" (McDonough). This apparent fascination with crime is the motivation behind the two deviant roles the flâneur may take on. The flâneur may use this interest in crime in a criminal nature, stalking his victim to ultimately murder or rape them. On the other hand, the flâneur may utilize his interest in crime through detective work; following individuals in order to solve a murder or other crime. The ability to blend into a crowd and operate as essentially invisible, in addition to the flâneur's impeccable knowledge of the city were the essential facets of their ability to engage in detective or criminal-like behaviors. Walter Benjamin argued, " no matter what trail the flâneur may follow, every one of them will lead him to crime" (McDonough 116), articulating the dual criminal and detective aspects of flânerie. Warehime argues the detective nature of the flâneur by examining Patrick Modiano's writing on Dora Bruder. The telling of the story of her life is "the result of his personal research as a detective, an historian, and a flâneur who attempted to retrace her steps" (Warehime 108). He was able to tell the events of her life by retracing her footsteps and acting as a detective. In order to do so, Modiano utilizes the flâneur's knowledge of the city and ability to remain incognito in order to discover the specific events of her past. "As detective-flâneur he also visits the "scene of the crime,"" to continue detecting the story of her life. In regards to criminal behavior, the same skills of the flâneur were utilized but to commit crimes rather than detective behaviors. "The flâneur-detective and the criminal became mirrors of each other, indistinguishable along the streets of the metropolis," both hiding their true motivations under the cover of flânerie. The flâneur would not start wondering the street of Paris and following people if there were not an alternative motivation behind his behavior. McDonough's points lead to the argument that the flâneur is not innocent at all; there is an underlying motivation behind wondering the streets of Paris. They used the ability to blend into the crowd and knowledge of the city to their advantage to successfully execute a crime.

Sports book characters inspire script
LAS VEGAS - Anyone who has spent a day at the track knows that there are more than enough characters for a great sitcom or play.
Jerry L. Crawford thought the same thing the first time he entered the Stardust race and sports book.
"I thought I had walked into a Damon Runyon story," said Crawford, who should know his literary references as a professor emeritus in the theatre department at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. "I knew I had to write a play about sports bettors."
The result is "The Stardust Caper," a dark comedy that will be part of the Utah Shakespearean Festival, which started Thursday and runs through Aug. 31 in Cedar City, Utah, a three-hour drive on I-15 from downtown Las Vegas.
No, it's not Shakespeare, though it's a shame the Bard isn't around to check out the comedy and tragedy that exists everyday in a sports book. "The Stardust Caper" is part of the plays-in-progress series at the festival, where Crawford has also worked the last 15 summers.
The plays-in-progress series - which tries to find the "Shakespeares of tomorrow" - uses professional actors reading their parts from scripts, and is free to the public. Plays are presented at 10:15 a.m. on Thursdays and Fridays in August at the campus cinema on Main Street. "The Stardust Caper" will be staged Aug. 1-2 as the first in the series, and then again on Tuesday, Aug. 27, during the closing week of the festival.
"The Stardust Caper" stars Freddy, an aging sports bettor in his early 70's, who bets a friend $5,000 that he will die of natural causes in the Stardust sports book. Other bettors get in on the action - the pool quickly grows to $50,000 - and try to figure out if they're being scammed.
"Most of the characters are based on real people I've met in the sports book," Crawford said, "though I've certainly taken literary license."
The Stardust is as much of a character as any of the actors as it is portrayed as a family home, as well as a church for its faithful congregation.
And sometimes life imitates art. On Wednesday, Crawford's last day in Las Vegas before heading to the festival, an 89-year-old horseplayer died in the Stardust race and sports book shortly after 9 a.m.
* Another intriguing drama involving the Stardust concluded Tuesday when Anthony Cuccia was found guilty of first-degree murder for the February 2000 shooting of fellow sports bettor Philip Greenspan. Cuccia, a self-proclaimed mobster, claimed he did it in self-defense because he believed Greenspan was part of a plot to kill him.
Cuccia said the Drug Enforcement Administration wrongly suggested he was a government witness in an early-1980's drug case and that a hit was ordered by members of the Gambino crime family. Cuccia said he was on the run ever since, avoiding three previous attempts on his life. The jury deliberated about half an hour before coming back with a guilty verdict. Sentencing is July 23 for the 60-year-old Cuccia.
World Cup
Germany ended the United States' unlikely World Cup run Friday morning with a 1-0 victory. Brazil, the favorite to win it all after the early exits by France, Argentina, and Italy, also advanced with a 2-1 win over England. Germany awaits the Spain-South Korea winner for its early Tuesday semifinal match while Brazil has the easier draw, facing the Senegal-Turkey winner in the other semifinal on Wednesday morning.
Williams sisters top Wimbledon
Wimbledon starts Monday with the Williams sisters expected to continue their dominance. Las Vegas Sports Consultants has Venus Williams as the 6-5 favorite to win the women's bracket, with Serena Williams as the 8-5 second choice. Martina Hingis scratched from the tournament, leaving Jennifer Capriati (4-1) as the only other serious contender, with Justine Henin (12-1), Kim Clijsters (15-1) and Jelena Dokic (22-1) given outside chances.
On the men's side, Lleyton Hewitt is a lukewarm 4-1 favorite, followed by Andre Agassi (5-1), Pete Sampras (5-1), Roger Federer (8-1), Tim Henman
(12-1), and Marat Safin (12-1).
* The Cox Pavilion, located next to the Thomas & Mack Center on the UNLV campus, plays host to several international basketball teams in the World Pro Basketball Challenge on Monday through Friday. The tournament begins Monday at 5:30 p.m. with Taiwan United vs. Team Europe, followed by Magic Johnson All-Stars vs. OSG Phoenix at 8 p.m. Tuesday's games are London Leopards vs. Vasco de Game at 5:30 p.m. and the Harlem Globetrotters vs. ABA Select (coached by former UNLV Rebel Sidney Green) at 8 p.m. The rest of the days, the losers bracket games will be played at 5:30 p.m. and the winners' bracket matchups at 8 p.m., with the championship game on Saturday night.
Horseplayers help pay the bills
Parimutuel wagering is a wonderful thing. The house actually can cheer for you to win money, since it has already taken its cut. And when bettors win, they tend to bet that money right back and the house wins more money.
In the last fiscal year ended April 30, Nevada race books made $81.1 million from horseplayers, representing a 17 percent hold, according to figures released by the Gaming Control Board.
Forty percent of the overall handle in the state's 147 sports books comes from football bettors, but the books held just 4.5 percent of football wagers last year for a $38.2 million profit.
Parlay cards, as is always the case, had the highest hold at 32 percent, generating profits of $19.2 million. Bettors dropped the least on baseball, losing 3.66 percent for total losses of $17.9 million. Sports books held 5.6 percent and profited $30.6 million.

Sponsored by SingTel Mio TV, Nickelodeon announced the launch of their first Nickelodeon Slime Cup in Singapore and Southeast Asia, bringing their unique brand of fun for kids and families to promote family life.
We were invited to join in the fun but sadly, we only managed to attend the event on the second day and missed out on certain highlights. But still the girls were more than happy to be involved in some actions. Goodie bags are always a winner with kids, especially those with their favourite TV cartoon characters.
The event was held over two days last weekend at D'Marquee @ Downtown East. This family event featured some sports-oriented games booths like, football, baseball & basketball, all weaved into simple but yet fun elements for the children.
I think Jayne can do well in football, can you see her well developed calves in the photos? Her poise was also good.
Joey & Jayne took a swing at the baseball game booth. This is the first time I see a baseball game booth for the kids, and I have to say I am very impressed with the design of the booth. The slanting slope to enable the balls to row back and towards the middle. The air blowing out from a vent to hold up the ball for the kids to swing. Ingenious!
Jayne was slightly short for the bouncy basketball booth. She just climbed up on the side and tried to slam dunk. Cheeky but clever =)
Next up was the mini-obstacle course, Jayne gave up on trying, probably a wise decision too. But Joey zipped through the tyres' obstacles so fast, I was only able to catch a photo of her right at the end of the course. Amazing!
The main highlight for both the girls was to meet their 'idol' in person. Both of them were so attentive to the instructions given on how to welcome the 'guests'.
And they were duly rewarded when Spongebob and Patrick came out to meet their fans for a photo session. Even Kless was also dragged up to meet the cute characters from Bikini Bottoms.
There was a friendly 5-a-side futsal match for the inaugural Nickelodeon Slime Cup trophy (which we missed).

Special performances.
And the familiar characters from Nickelodeon showcasing their futsal skills.
It was another fun day out for the girls. Though it was tiring, both girls slept soundly on the way home, as a father, all is worth it when you can see a smile on your child's face and a simple 'thank you' after an event like this.

Newer generation of the 2016 BMW X1 is coming on its way and defiantly it is going to be an amazing car, which is under production and interesting point is that it is going to be equipped with many interesting and amazing features. The engineers are working with dedication as they want to introduce the best and compatible products which can leave a lasting influence. The X1 is going to arrive in the form of 2016 yea version and the company has announced modifications related with engine and style. This support utility vehicle is being tested and results, which have been obtained, are amazing. The company has still not provided details so we will have to wait.
It is being reported that 2016 BMW X1 engine which is being carried in the present model will not be abandoned and this is going to have an improvement. 2nd generation of the car is going to be made with the all drive wheel system and this is going to show adjustment with the present version of RWD these are the prominent changes. The anterior and posterior side of this vehicle will be coming with better and improved aerodynamic related qualities and idea shows more relevance with X2 Series Active Tourer. The car maker from Germany is making this one under a secret identity F48, but you can expect that some great features will be included in this one.
2016 BMW X1 Redesign
It is being expected that new vehicles will be light and for this credit goes to carbon as well as fiber of aluminum who are included in the development. The 2016 BMW X1 is going to show similarity in styling with its bigger brother X5 which has similar lines. There will be sharing of some concepts with newer X4. The newer BMW X1 is prepared for the newer anterior fascia and this is defiantly going to bring solid improvement in the aerodynamic qualities. A strong attention has been given to the headlights and definitely you will be impressed with all this.
2016 BMW X1 Engine Specifications
No detailed information related with engines has been provided, but the opinion of experts is that 2016 BMW X1 will be taken from MINI 2 Active Tourer MPV whereas the plug in hybrid model will also be there and defiantly there are many other choices present as well, but till now we don't have any confirmation because company is taking its time in bringing the right kind of product forward. The main point to consider is that competition in main market is getting tougher so makers have to plan their strategy in the right manner without getting in much trouble because mistake can bring negative outcomes.
2016 BMW X1 Release Date and Price
Now fans of 2016 BMW X1 are really very much interested in purchasing the upcoming version and price will be their main concern. The reports, which are available so far are indicating towards the point that model will start from 40,000 dollars. Coming towards release it is expected to arrive in this year 2015 so we should wait.

With a dancehall toast-feel, Purrin Lion Sound Flex Crew's most enjoyed and requested MC and DJ delivers rapid-fire, fierce lyrics on the microphone effortlessly even over his own DJed sets. Steve Swift drops verses to his riddims with an ol' school hip-hop flow and has urbanized an all-in-one dancehall party-style that can get any a crowd a little hyper and a "lil' louda!"
Steve Swift was focused on developing a strong musical background, so this South Texas maverick made his way north to attend The Art Institute of Houston in early 1994. By 1997, Steve Swift had hooked up with a local hard rock/hip hop group called Aftershock as their drummer. That summer Steve Swift caught the junglistic feva through agile turntablist Audio 3, who was doubling as the band's DJ.
On the side, Audio 3 had veered from his hip-hop roots to play ragga and jungle tunes. Now all that was needed was a toasting MC to complement this selecta. And, Steve Swift had an inclination for dancehall, reggae and the microphone. So, Audio 3 encouraged Steve Swift to step up to the mic and take his reggae-tinged jungle to another level. Months later, as Aftershock was dissolving, both Steve Swift and Audio 3 joined H-town's forefront junglist crew, Purrin Lion Sound Flex Crew.
Much sought after, Steve Swift has MCed as Audio 3's cohort and over such drum & bass icons as AK1200, Bad Company, Source Direct & Instrumental, Rinse & Flux, Pressa, UFO!, Mickey Finn, DB, Dara, Red One and Dieselboy. And, Steve Swift has MCed alongside MC Jamalski, TC Islam and MC Five Alive. In 1999, Steve Swift teamed up with Purrin Lion's pride and Ireland's Bass Odyssey to perform at the coveted SXSW Music Showcase. Making the rounds, Steve Swift has also performed in Hawaii, Chicago and Tennessee. Steve Swift was one of the featured MCs on Audio 3's audibly pleasing debut mix CD, Audio Tactics (2001).
Steve Swift has since taken to the decks. Steve Swift began DJing faded beats-dancehall, reggae, dub and hip-hop. In 2001, he hosted his own weekly Internet broadcast reggae radio show on Pleasure Dome [www.pdomeradio.com]. With Audio 3 at his side, Steve Swift was also a resident MC and DJ at Static [www.ClubHyperia.com], a Houston d&b night in 2002. He also doubles as an MC and DJ for a reggae sound system, Catman Sounds. Steve Swift has DJed at local reggae shows and festivals with Sean Paul, Lady Saw, Elephant Man, Spragga Benz, Luciano, a cultural reggae singer, and rising star Jr. Kelly.

Today Gruffalo and Paddington class have been to Forest School. We have been listening to the story 'Stick Man' by Julia Donaldson, and tried to find him in the woods.
Some of us made our very own 'Stick Man' by tying sticks we had collected together and used a potato peeler to take away a layer of bark to create a face. The children then really enjoyed playing with their 'Stick Man' in the woods, by either making up their own stories or re-telling the Julia Donaldson version. Some children in Paddington class also went a step further and created a home for their stick people in the trees.
Why not have a look in your garden and see if you can find Stick Man? I hope he's not lost and finds his way back to the family tree, with his stick lady love and stick children three!
Mrs Read 🙂

The Federal Trade Commission sued MoneyGram saying the defendants records show the amount of money scammed just in the United States, tripled between 2007 and 2008 to nearly $24 million. MoneyGram promised to aggressively go after fraud, and in an unrelated action, so did Western Union. So 7 On Your Side tested them both.
Many scams only work as well as they do because money can be wired.
"If you are going to run a scam you've got to have some way to collect the money and the one they prefer these days is really wire transfer: Western Union and Money Gram," says C. Steven Backer from the FTC.
Once money is wired, it is all but impossible to trace or get back.
Five years ago Western Union entered into an assurance of voluntary compliance, agreeing to train its agents and warn consumers about fraud-induced money transfers. And just last year MoneyGram agreed to work harder to prevent its service from being a conduit for swindlers by "...detecting, preventing, reporting... suspicious transactions..."
So 7 On Your Side sent in undercover decoys to find out if they would be warned about potential scams.
"My first job as a money shopper I am so excited. Mystery shopper!" says the decoy trying not to be discreet, but more obvious. She even told the agent "It is my first job as a mystery shopper."
7 On Your Sides' mystery shopper decoy was never told she could be in danger of being swindled.
When asked if the decoy's transaction raised any red flags, the employee said, "Any red flags... why?"
That employee then asked 7 On Your Side to speak to his boss, Reza Razavi who is the president of Check Expert -- a financial service company that represents Western Union. He said his clerk did not hear the decoy's comments through the glass.
"Western Union is very good about sending fliers and monthly magazines and informing [about] the scams that are out there," says Razavi.
When asked if the words mystery shopper raised any red flags, he said "Not to me, no it didn't. If she was sending money to Nigeria, we would have caught that, to Canada, we would have said that. If she says I am buying something from eBay, I would have caught that. These are the stuff we are failure with, but mystery shopper doesn't tell me anything."
"It is pretty shocking because that is a very, very well known scam. There are some immediate, immediate red flags for that," says Linda Eagle.
Eagle co-owns the Banker's Academy and trains financial service employees. She says mystery shopper should have been a tip off.
Between 7 On Your Side and the ABC sister-station in San Diego, KGTV, we sent $1,000 back and forth, six times, twice from Western Union and four times from MoneyGram locations. San Francisco to San Diego the money went back and forth.
The San Diego decoy told the MoneyGram agent he had won a lottery and he was congratulated on his win.
"OK, that's definitely not exactly the way we would have liked that experience to have gone, and so we are going to make sure we are going to train, we continue to warn our customers," said Willard Hart from MoneyGram.
At a nearby service center where Western Union is used, employees warned against the transaction.
"The manager told me, he said 'Sir, there is nothing we can do, but it sounds like a scam,'" says Frank Castillo from San Diego.
Western Union declined an on camera interview, but wrote to 7 On Your Side, "We include consumer protection information in our agent training program. We also provide fraud alerts through monthly 'pop-up' messages that appear when an agent's Western Union system is activated."
Both services have recorded warnings if you call them on the phone and written warnings on their forms.
The FTC and consumer activists acknowledge that it is tough to train all the many thousands of third party employees, but say it is important if fraud is to be prevented.

When you get in trouble and you don't know right from wrong
Give a little whistle! Give a little whistle! – Jiminy Cricket
Q. I am doing a split stay where I am staying on-site for part of my vacation and part off-site. Does the Disney dining plan work when you are staying off property? Is it tied to your ticket or your room reservation? (Submitted by Diana.)
A. Hi Diana,
We know that Disney Dining is very important and currently on everyone's mind with the recent Free Dining promotion that was released.
I do have to tell you though that the Disney dining plan does not have anything to do with your ticket medium. Instead, it is a one-to-one association with the number of nights you are staying at the hotel. Also, it expires at midnight on the night that you check out of your hotel.
So, unfortunately, you will only have the Disney Dining Plan available to use during the on-site portion of your stay.
My tip though: Make sure to spend all of your credits, that includes snack credits. What's great is that with most snacks, you can eat those after your stay on-property is over! So if you have leftovers on your last day, make sure to hit up a snack shop and load up!
We hope you have a magical vacation!

Somewhere out there, making it's way slowly but surely, are bits and pieces of a house that, when reassembled in the US, could earn its creators some pretty prestigious notoriety. In their latest blog, the First Light team detail the process involved in getting all the pieces of their house safely across to the US to participate in the US Department of Energy's 2011 Solar Decathlon competition—not the easiest of feats when the NZ Building Code compliant house also has to meet US Building codes standards, just to gain entry into the US.
The shipping of the Meridian First Light house has always seemed like a distant idea to the team. We knew it had to happen and designed the house accordingly, but still, the idea of the house packed up on a boat and making its way across the pacific has always been hard to imagine. Now that moment has finally arrived.
On Friday 17 June the last of the containers, containing wrapped up components of the Meridian First Light house, left Frank Kitts Park in Wellington. It was transported up to Tauranga by Mainfreight to join the rest of the house before being loaded onto the ship to depart New Zealand. While the team will have a relatively direct flight to the US, the house on the other hand will get to visit a few interesting spots on its way to Washington, taking over a month to complete its journey.
The house left Tauranga yesterday (30June), stopping off briefly in Auckland before heading out into the Pacific. A container carrier called the 'Bahia' will be loaded up with a whole lot of shipping containers including the Meridian First Light house in Hamburg Süd containers and flat racks.
The ship will take over two weeks to cross the Pacific Ocean—here's hoping for calm weather as it passes through the tropics! It will reach land in Manzanillo, Mexico's busiest port, before making its way through the Panama canal. Once through the canal the boat will stop off in Cartagena, Colombia before the house reaches its final waterborne destination in Philadelphia on 26July.
Once the containers and flat racks holding the Meridian First Light house have been unloaded from the ship, they'll need to go through customs (fingers crossed we have cleaned everything to their liking) and get loaded onto trucks to make the final leg of the journey to Washington DC.
Along with the logistics of getting the house packed up and into a transportable state, there were a number of decisions made around the materials used in the house to make sure the house could make it through customs and back again.
The treatments used on materials in the US have different restrictions and needs to those in New Zealand. Here in NZ it is standard to use CCA treatment which gives timber an extended life and protects against fungi and insects, but in the US the use of this is restricted and cannot be used in domestic buildings. The team discussed a number of alternative treatments which would fulfil the building codes here and in the US. A variety of treatments were used including ACQ, Boron and Copper Azole. Where possible we chose materials where treatment was not needed—for example our cladding made from Herman Pacific Western Red Cedar did not need treatment to be used here or in the US.
As well as the treatments the containers needed to go through fumigation before leaving Tauranga and will go through a similar process on the way back. We will be bringing the house back the way it left and certainly would not want to bring back anything with us that we didn't take in the first place!
Over the past year, the First Light team has provided us with a thorough insight into their journey to the US to compete in the US Department of Energy's 2011 Solar Decathlon competition. Check out the team's other entries below:

Have you ever had a friend buy you a comic or a book because a detail of the plot revolved around a genuine interest of yours? Was that same title not a good read despite its topical interest? You have been the subject of some bad (comic)book matching. I firmly believe that the details of a plot, while important in making a good story, do little to tell you, a potential reader, if you will enjoy a comic or not. I have recently come across an example which illustrates this concept perfectly.
First we have to get rid of all of the men. Sorry boys but in both these comics the male gender is struck with high mortality rate, nearly all men die in a single moment in a single day in Y the Last Man by Brian K. Vaughn, and only about an eighth of the male population survive to maturity in Ooku by Fumi Yoshinaga. This is a fascinating Thought Experiment (our term for a story element that is a what if that allows us to examine society and humanity through fiction) and it may bring up similar issues of gender roles in both series, but despite this plot detail, readers moving from one series to the next will find a very different experience in each comic. From ambiance of the the world they are set in, the kinds of characters that fill the story and the affect the story has on the reader.
I think in this case it is the affect that makes the biggest difference between these two reading experiences. Where Y: The Last Man has an affect on the reader that induces adrenalin, designed in part to scare us, Ooku has a reflective effect on the reader. With a slower pace a more generous captions and atmospheric images Ooku takes its time and asks the reader to think both about the subtleties of the relations and machinations of its characters and the larger social questions it brings up. Readers who love Ooku might enjoy more contemplative comics who's drama comes from social relationships like Habibi or works with a wide scope like Buddah by Osamu Tezuka. Both of these comics carry the same contemplative feel that Ooku brings the reader.
Y: The Last Man has the action and adventure of a superhero comic with a dark side. Its 'what if' question still gives the reader some space outside the comic to consider gender and society, but this story has action, faster pacing and a greater emphasis on the plot. Readers who love Y: The Last Man may want to pick up Guerillas by Brahm Revel or Chew by John Layman & Rob Guillory for stories with some thought behind them but a fast moving, dark plot line.
Can you enjoy both titles? Why yes, I do but these series each work on a different part of the bibliographic palette, so don't let the details of a plot have you using sugar on your fries and salt on your strawberries.
Check out how our thesaurus terms describe the similarities and differences between these two series.

Hot money pouring into Chinese luxury housing
June transactions for villas, and new apartments priced above 70,000 yuan per square meter, in Beijing hit new record highs
China's luxury housing market continues to boom, despite government measures to slow it down, which has stimulated developers to bid even higher in big cities for prime plots of land, in an effort to target wealthy buyers.
June transactions for villas, and new apartments priced above 70,000 yuan per square meter, in Beijing hit new record highs, according to property consultancy Yahao.
In Shanghai, there were 682 transactions for new apartments priced around 100,000 yuan per sq m in the first half, already surpassing the number for the whole of last year, property services firm Tospur data shows.
"There is strong demand for this type of housing, as incomes grow," said Huang Yu, executive vice president of the China Index Academy, a property research institute.
"Wealthier buyers are considering properties as safe investments, in anticipation of the yuan's further devaluation."
Cities including Shanghai and Shenzhen have rolled out stricter home-buying restrictions in the past few months, including raising minimum down payment requirements, in an attempt to cool sentiment.
There are also market rumours the government will further tighten credit in some cities.
But still the luxury housing stands strong, luring cash-rich developers into paying top prices for the best parcels, so called "land kings", on which to build high-end apartments.
On Thursday, Shanghai developer Future Land beat 14 competitors to win a rare residential plot in the city's Hongkou district.
Deducting the share reserved for public housing, the land price was 87,000 yuan per square metre, setting a new record for the city. Analysts expect the future average selling price could be more than 120,000 yuan.
Future Land said the price was acceptable, citing the strong sales of high-end projects nearby.
One example it gave was Daning Jinmao Mansion, which sold out its newly launched 222 units in April within a day, at an average price of 92,000 yuan per square metre. The price for its remaining units has grown to 95,000 yuan.
"Home prices (in big cities) may see an adjustment in the short term, as prices have risen at the fastest level since 2015, " said Zhang Hongwei, Tospur's research director.
"But longer term in 2018-2020, there will be more room for growth."
Zhang added that luxury products usually take longer to build, so the "land king" purchases actually represent developers' confidence in the longer term.
But some analysts have expressed concern over the future growth of the high-end market.
"Recent land supply has all been for high-end products, but future demand may not be enough since much has been released in advance under the current wave," China Index Academy's Huang said.
The research house estimates that projects under construction in Beijing could provide 2.2 million sq ms of new supply after 2017, which is sufficient for three years of sales.

Today's post celebrates the Happy Birthday anniversary of Denard "Shoelace" Robinson. Hands down, Denard Xavier Robinson was one of the most exciting players to ever wear the winged helmet – period! Michigan fans were not happy with the coaching tenure of Rich Rodriguez, but he did recruit "Mr. Robinson" to play football in Ann Arbor. So, we must give Rich Rod some credit for seeing the great potential of "Shoelace." Most schools recruited Denard to play defensive back, but Rodriguez recruited him to play quarterback and It turned out to be a very good thing for Michigan Wolverine Football history!
Denard brought his big smile, a great nickname (Shoelace) and a ton of talent from Deerfield Beach, Florida to Ann Arbor. Like many Floridians before him, the mystique of playing for Michigan in the Big House was a big attraction. Yes, it gets cold in Ann Arbor in November and usually stays that way until May. However, there are some "up" sides to living in the upper Midwest. The good news is that Denard Shoelace Robinson saw the benefits of playing in The Big House and living in Ann Arbor.
Denard "Shoelace" Robinson started bringing Wolverine fans to their feet on his first play when he turned a fumbled snap into a touchdown against Western Michigan in 2009. He saw a lot of playing time that season as he backed up Tate Forcier.
By the time the 2010 season rolled around, Denard was Michigan's starting quarterback. Mr. Robinson had a ton of "Heisman" moments that season. Unfortunately, the defense had trouble defending their opponents so every game demanded that Shoelace, and the offense, put up some big numbers. The offense became very predictable since Denard was such an important part. So, Denard "Shoelace" Robinson became a "marked man" on every play. Despite it all, he was able to put up some stunning numbers and led his team to the only winning season (7-6) in the Rich Rodriguez Era. Of course, it wasn't enough and Rodriguez was fired after a blowout loss to Mississippi State in the 2011 Gator Bowl. Shoelace earned a ton of awards in 2010 for his stellar play: All-Big Ten, All-American, UM team MVP and Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year.
Denard Robinson's last two seasons were the first two years of the Brady Hoke Era. Shoelace continued to play his heart out for Michigan, but he didn't quite fit into Brady's Pro-Style Offense. He did lead his team to an outstanding record of 11 wins and 2 losses in 2011. Of course, he helped make Brady Hoke look like a turnaround genius in his first year. After getting routed by Alabama in the season opener in 2012, Denard had mostly good games winning five of the next six. The beginning of the end for Denard came in the first half of the Nebraska game when he was injured on a short run. Unfortunately, he was never the same and could not return to his "jaw dropping" level of play that marked the first 19 games of his career.
As always, Michigan Quarterbacks are judged by two things. 1) How many Big Ten Titles did you win? 2) How many games did you help Michigan win on your watch? So, here is a quick look at Denard "Shoelace" Robinson's "important numbers."
|Big Ten Finish
|7th (Tie)
|All-Big Ten, All-American, Team/BIG MVP
|2nd (Legends)
|Team MVP
|2nd (Legends)
|Team Co-Captain w/Jordan Kovacs
Denard's "team" numbers were not as good as he would have liked. I am sure that he would have traded his All-American Award or his MVP trophy for a Big Ten Championship or two. That is for sure! However, his individual numbers were stunning and he still holds many, many Michigan football records. The good news is that he did everything his coaches asked him to do and played as hard as he could when he was on the field.
In addition to being one of the most exciting players ever to put on a Michigan Football uniform, Denard "Shoelace" Robinson is also connected to a number of Wolverine Football "firsts." Here are some of the best:
There are a ton of Denard Robinson highlight videos on You Tube and the Michigan Historian just to mention a few. You could spend hours watching Denard do his amazing Michigan football "thing." I only included one link to what is my "favorite" Denard Robinson moment. This is the eighty-seven-yard run – the longest run in the history of Notre Dame Stadium – that Denard made to seal the deal on September 11, 2010. The coolest thing about this run is that the yardage on this run was the same as the number that Michigan Legend Ron Kramer wore. It was also the day that Ron Kramer died. This play links two great Michigan players forever! It is also the longest run ever recorded against Notre Dame!
I often shudder to think how bad Michigan Football would have been without Denard "Shoelace" Robinson. He did everything he could to win for Michigan and I will always appreciate his tremendous contributions to Michigan Football. It looks like Denard's professional career is over, but I still hope he has a very Happy Birthday today. He is absolutely one of Michigan's best ever. Thanks for all the great memories and the wonderful way you played the game Denard! Go Blue!

How peer influence is much more effective than relying on well-known influencers for business marketing
Word-of-mouth marketing is still the most popular and useful way to successfully market your business. Many entrepreneurs rely on influencers with a huge social clout to post professional or fun tweets and status updates about their merchandise. These people usually have more than a thousand followers or fans, who may or may not follow their suggestions to buy a particular product or service from a certain establishment.
If we really think about it, are influencers really effective in getting our marketing message across? Some would strongly agree, especially the fans, who have followed the progress of their idol since the early days. But what about those who became fans because they want to keep up to date with the influencers' thoughts? All they do is note down and never take part in the influencer's activities, endorsements and sponsored events. If they don't want to join, they'll just ignore such posts coming from the influencer.
Peer marketing is different from the dependence on influencers to market businesses. In this method, entrepreneurs rely more on their loyal customers to get the good word out. These satisfied customers tell other people about your business and refer those people to call you. This is way more effective than relying on influencers. This is proven with Duncan Watts' study about "the pass-around power of everyday people." The research he accumulated demonstrated that "close networks of [everyday] people drive influence on and offline."
According to Crowdtap's infograph, 92% of the respondents rely on advice from people they know. People listen more to their families, friends and everybody else they are familiar with, rather than some random person they encounter in the Internet with thousands of followers. Influencers do have some power over their fans' choices, but what would you really choose — an influencer's recommendation or a friend's suggestion?

A day Out in Ossett with The Idol Dead
So, it's 6.30am, I'm stumbling around the kitchen, the guitars from last night's gig with The Needful Things and Psychobabylon still ringing in my ears, searching for weapons-grade coffee and a mug the size of a bucket…
Luckily, I find both and manage to function in a manner close to 'awake'. .
Next step, rouse the roadie.
Diddly is our guitar-repair god (www.guitarrepairservices.co.uk) – he's a genius with anything that has strings.
What he isn't is a morning person. So, I sit him in the weak morning sun, force feed him tea and cigarettes and eventually his eyes open and he demands more tea and cigarettes.
Singer and roadie functioning correctly so before long we've loaded Diddly's van up with noisy equipment and we're heading for the A1.
I get a text of Nish – he's not happy to be up so early.
I get a text of KC – he's not happy to be up so early.
I get another text off KC – seems Tim isn't happy either. .
No text from Miguel, he's Spanish and has no idea this early even exists – we'll see him at 2.
We arrive at the ground and find it full of bleary eyed rock n rollers wandering about in a daze, wondering why a man hopped up on energy drinks is bellowing instructions at them.
The whole venue was getting in the spirit though. Bands had food and drinks named after them…ours:
That man is Wayne Poppleton – the guy behind the whole event who I don't think has slept since April. Wayne briefs us on what's happening when, gives Idol Dead coloured vests to all the bands who volunteered to marshal (we did ask, but were told no, honest) and then sends us on our merry way – which is to a greasy spoon for a full Veggie Brekkie. Nom Nom. Diddly demands a Sausage and Egg butties, he gets Bacon coz I'm an idiot and all meat is just meat to me!
Then the waiting.
First band hits the stage at 11am, and it's the rather brilliant Bad Appetite. These chaps look barely out of nappies but they kick some serious arse! Great tunes, great harmonies and they look plenty cool too. All in all a great start to the day.
Now, I'm not going to review every band on, coz it'd take for ever, but I will say the mix of music on offer was great – a little something for everyone and, as the stages were next to each other, bands just played all day.
I will mention Evil Scarecrow though – brilliant, funny, great image and played fabulously – the full package. I'm not sure if I'd buy an album by them, as they're a little heavy for me, but I'd pay to see them live every night of the week. Just great, great entertainment … and if you like your music heavy, then you certainly would buy their albums, coz they do what they do very well – s'just not my bag, maaaaaaaaaaaaaan.
Did I mention the I-Dolls? We really do have the best looking, best dressed fans you could wish for. Home made Idol dead t-shirts (including our first group picture t-shirt modelled by Natalie) and sweatbands … my wife turned up with black and green dreads – Idol Dreads as Nish called em … plus Lisa was wearing a purple coat I could quite happily have stolen and run off into the night with.
So, 6.20pm, it's time for the Dead to take the stage. KC is grinning like the Cheshire Cat on Dexadrine – it's gonna be a corker.
Right from the opening bar of Shooting Star I know it's off the hook.
The sound is immense, and the boys are tighter than a particularly prudish nun, which means all I have to do is stay in turn and act like an idiot.
Which I do, in spades. I even climb the speaker stack at one point, but then my missus tells me off from the audience, so I get down.
Tim's throwing all the shapes (and standing on me!) … Miguel is rocking up a storm in his laid back, Castilian manner … KC is using wireless so he's all over our stage and next-door and the floor and everywhere … and Nish is grinning, pounding and having the time of little Kiwi life!
All too soon, it's over – my hair's a mess, my throat is ragged and I'm knackered … but I'm very, very happy.
Plus we come off stage and sign autographs. A group of young rock fans are waiting for us next to the stage. When you see their faces, and how much they've enjoyed not just us, but a whole day of great music, it makes you think the future of bands playing live and loud is in good hands.
God bless 'em, one and all.
After signing autographs and clearing the stage of our gear, we had to get ourselves together, all hot and sweaty, to do a quick interview. Ebony B (who hosts a Monday night show on Mansfield radio) asked us a few questions, we were all pretty pumped up at this stage, apart from Miguel, so this just capped off our rock and roll weekend!
I hit the beer at this point coz all the important stuff's done – so it gets a bit hazy … but as the day draws to a close I'm sat, happy and content, in my front room with a glass of wine in my hand and a smile on my face, job well done. .
I'd like to thank Wayne, Jim Cameron, Alex English, Donna Rockbabe, Ebony B, all the bands and everyone else who made this thing happen – it was a fantastic day out, and I hope Wakefield Rock Fest can move onwards, and upward, to become a solid date in the Summer Festival calendar.
Peace out,

The Cello Suites
J.S. Bach, Pablo Casals, and the Search for A Baroque MasterpieceeBook - 2011
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Outstanding novel. I simply could not set the book down after opening. It is a lovely book about the history behind J.S. Bach and the world culture during that time frame. I found it very interesting how even our greatest Maestro's must grasp the assumption of how the Cello Suites are played. It is left to the human imagination. In short, that may have been what Bach was suggesting. Songs are simply more pleasurable when the human ear is left to imagination.
I'd like to chat with people who are reading this book -- one of the ones that just missed the cut for Canada Reads.
Love this piece of music. Fascinating book.
There could be a chat group for "Canada should also read... 2012"
I read and listened to the Cello Suites. It's worth borrowing the CD at the same time! It's a fascinating tale of the Suites and of course of Bach--but really--you come to think of the Suites as the subject of the book, with a story of their own brought to life by the hands of Pablo Casals and others. I loved this book.

ENTRIES have poured in for this year's Your Heroes awards – but there is still just time for you to nominate someone who deserves to be recognised for their hard work and commitment.
The Advertiser has been inundated with your stories of the ordinary people making a difference by doing extraordinary things in the community
For example, there is the disabled grandad who nominated his own son, daughter and granddaughter for helping to run disability football club Skem Men Aces. He said: "I'm proud so proud and I constantly telling my family and friends about them, they keep me going, good luck to them. they deserve an OBE or MBE."
Ormskirk pensioner Dennis Adelsberg has been nominated for his ten marathons. Dennis, 80, was also an Olympic torch bearer in the summer.
Mark Clifton lost 2kg in weight while trekking 250k across the Sahara for charity SCOPE.
Ormskirk schoolgirl Jess Purcell, 10, raised £300 selling cakes and toys. Jess decided to fundraise for Sefton Young Carers after hearing about the work they do.
Your Heroes is our special awards scheme, sponsored by ScottishPower, to reward all those people who go the extra mile for other people. We have a series of categories, open to all age groups.
And your efforts could result in them being invited to our glittering awards ceremony early next year, when the gongs will be handed out.
A hero could be the person who saves somebody else's life. But, equally, it could be the fundraiser, the community group leader or the teacher that does that little bit more to help others.
Or it could be the pupil or pupils who have done something special to make their school or their neighbourhood a better place.
If you work at a school, think of the people who could do with a pat on the back for what they do beyond the call of duty.
If you are involved in sport, then think of the person or people who make it all happen and put their name forward.
We are looking for nominations in the following categories:
The People/Person Hero Award
The Team Hero Award
The Volunteer Hero Award
The Young Person Hero Award
The Sports Person Hero Award
Each category will have a winner and from the winners the judges will also select a "winner of winners" which will be announced at the ceremony itself, organised in partnership with our sponsors, Scottish Power.
Editor Andrew Edwards said: "We have already had nominations from all walks of life and it is really uplifting to see so many deserving people being put forward for awards."
To nominate, fill in the form here on this page or visit the advertised website address and provide a written testimonial on why they deserve recognition.
You have room for a brief statement on the form itself, but you should submit up to 250 words separately, giving full details of why your nominee deserves an award. Your forms must be with us by Monday, December 24.
