Jessie J has cancelled her appearance at today's Future muziek Festival in Perth.
The Pricetag songstress, who travelled from Brisbane overnight with other headline acts including Fatboy Slim, Tinie Tempah and Swedish House Mafia has contracted a "temporary illness" according to statement released door promoters this afternoon.
The British singer helped kick off this year's Future muziek Festival in Brisbane last night before travelling through the night ahead of her set in front of an expectant crowd of 37,000 at Arena Joondalup tonight.
Jessie J has been pictured leaving the UK on her way to America to attend the Grammy Awards 2012 and continue work on her seconde studio album.
The 'Domino' singer tweeted her fans earlier today (9th February) after being pictured leaving the country door paparazzi photographers at Heathrow Airport in London.
"Just got papped with zero makeup and un-done hair. Hahahaha! Brilliant,"Jessie wrote. "I'll get off this plane to that all over my twitter.
She added: "LA here I come #grammys #studio let's gooo!!!"
Jessie J, Adele and Katy Perry have all won double platinum status at the MTV Video Play Awards 2011.
The annual event celebrates the highest video play counts on MTV channels across the globe, and Bruno Mars, Maroon 5, LMFAO and Jennifer Lopez have also reached the achievement of 20,000 TV airplays in a single year.
Jessie J won the award for her seconde single 'Price Tag', Adele was named for 'Rolling In The Deep' while Katy Perry's 'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)' earned her the achievement.
When I'm nervous I have this thing, yeah, I talk too much
Sometimes I just can't shut the hell up
It's like I need to tell someone, anyone who'll listen
And that's where I seem to fuck up
Yeah, I forget about the consequences
For a minuut there I lose my senses
And in the heat of the moment my mouth starts going
The words start flowing, oh
But I never meant to hurt you
I know it's time that I learned to
Treat the people I love like I wanna be loved
[Jessie J]
Okay, Coconut man, Moon Heads and pea
u ready
Seems like everybody's got a price,
I wonder how they sleep at night.
When the sale comes first,
And the truth comes second,
Just stop for a minuut and
Why is everybody so serious?
Acting so damn mysterious?
Got your shades on your eyes
And your heels so high
That u can't even have a good time
Everybody look to their left (yeah)

Kalalangan Kamaru, and
Circle of Young Angelenos
The 1st Cinekabalen Philippine Film Festival
The short film competition seeks to explore, criticize, promote, empower, and/or describe the Kapampangan experience through independent cinema.
We are looking for short narratives that tell the story and perspective of the Kapampangan people, who, since their pre-Hispanic participation in the affairs of Asia, have been leading diverse lives up to the contemporary times—from the humble rural folks of the riverbanks to the dehumanized drones of highly urban areas, from resilient survivors of the Pinatubo eruption to the aggressive players in national industries, from sun-worshipping dwellers of the mountainside to the strong devotees of Roman Catholicism, from the protesters of social inequality since ancient times to the culturally overloaded youth of the nation, from the migrants forced to live elsewhere for greener pastures to the politically maturing residents making waves in mass media, from the craftsmen who balance business and art to the brown tillers of the plains, etc....
Rules and mechanics of the short film competition:
- The contest is open to everyone, student or professional, Kapampangan or non-Kapampangan, living in the country or abroad, etc. except members of the core organizing committee
- any topic is allowed, as long as it expresses "The Kapampangan Experience"
- entry must be a narrative; no music videos or documentaries
- no limit of number of entries
- because promoting the Kapampangan language is one of the aims of the festival, the dialogues, if any, should predominantly be in Kapampangan. The occasional use of non-Kapampangan languages is allowed as long as used in proper linguistic context.
- setting of the story does not necessarily have to be in Pampanga or other Kapampangan-speaking regions like Tarlac and Bataan
- film must have readable English subtitles
- strictly 10-20 minutes in length; for animated entries, minimum of 5 minutes is allowed
- in digital format (submit final work in playable DVD)
- extreme violence and obscenity and unnecessary abuse of foul language are discouraged, but not prohibited
- use of copyrighted music is not allowed, unless permitted to by the owner of the material
- deadline of entries (final DVD, registration form) will be on July 31; they must be shipped or submitted in person to the Juan D. Nepomuceno Center for Kapampangan Studies, Holy Angel University, Angeles City; the registration form will be downloadable beginning mid-March
- 8 to 12 finalists will be chosen (depending on the quantity of submissions) to compete in the festival; cash prizes and trophies are at stake for the top three best short films, which will be selected by a Board of Judges consisting of experts from the industry; special awards (best male performer, best editing, best screenplay, etc.) will also be given; the competing films will be screened during the actual Cinekabalen Philippine Film Festival in August at the Holy Angel University Theater in Angeles City; an Awards Night will follow

What should I wear to a bridal shower?
Suddenly, all of your friends and relatives are getting married, and you have endless bridal showers to attend. We know the feeling, so in a spirited effort to marry your own personal style with appropriate-for-the-celebration looks, here are some inspiring outfit ideas.
Image via Stockholm Street Style
We love the idea of approaching the ultimate girly party with some cool irony. In this case, try a slim suit that is equal parts Annie Hall and Keith Richards. A navy or dark suit works best worn with a simple white tee or '70s-inspired blouse.
While a strappy little heel can add a dose of femininity, a sweet oxford shoe will complete your menswear-inspired look with a wink.
Play with proportions by trying an ultra-wide leg pant (a trouser, perhaps?) with a ladylike blouse.
Add impact by picking a blouse with sweet flutter sleeves or dainty details, such as lace or embroidery.
Revive your maxi dresses by adding a smart blazer. A floral frock turns edgy with the addition of a little black jacket and some chunkier, rock-inspired jewellery.
Opt for a '60s-inspired dress that is fuller in proportion and cool in colour. An opaque tight will keep you properly covered, and a chunkier pump or heeled oxfords will help balance your head-to-toe look.

Hepatitis A FAQs for Health Professionals
June 9, 2009
Table of Contents
Overview and Statistics
What is the case definition for acute Hepatitis A?
The clinical case definition for acute viral hepatitis is 1) discrete onset of symptoms (e.g., nausea, anorexia, fever, malaise, or abdominal pain) and 2) jaundice or elevated serum aminotransferase levels. Because the clinical characteristics are the same for all types of acute viral hepatitis, Hepatitis A diagnosis must be confirmed by a positive serologic test for immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody to Hepatitis A virus, or the case must meet the clinical case definition and occur in a person who has an epidemiologic link with a person who has laboratory-confirmed Hepatitis A (i.e., household or sexual contact with an infected person during the 15–50 days before the onset of symptoms).
The case definition for acute Hepatitis A is available at the following link:
Additional guidance on viral hepatitis surveillance and case management is available at www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/SurveillanceGuidelines.htm.
How common is Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection in the United States?
Hepatitis A rates in the United States have declined by 92% since Hepatitis A vaccine first became available in 1995.
In 2007, 2,979 acute symptomatic cases of Hepatitis A were reported; the incidence was 1.0/100,000, the lowest rate ever recorded. After adjusting for asymptomatic infection and underreporting, the estimated number of new infections was 25,000.
How is HAV transmitted?
Who is at increased risk for acquiring HAV infection?
What are the signs and symptoms of HAV infection?
Some persons, particularly young children, are asymptomatic. When symptoms are present, they usually occur abruptly and can include the following:
In children aged <6 years, 70% of infections are asymptomatic; if illness does occur, it is typically not accompanied by jaundice. Among older children and adults, infection is typically symptomatic, with jaundice occurring in >70% of patients.
When symptoms occur, how long do they usually last?
Symptoms usually last less than 2 months, although 10%–15% of symptomatic persons have prolonged or relapsing disease for up to 6 months.
What is the incubation period for Hepatitis A?
The average incubation period for Hepatitis A is 28 days (range: 15–50 days).
How long does HAV survive outside the body? How can the virus be killed?
HAV can live outside the body for months, depending on the environmental conditions. The virus is killed by heating to 185 degrees F (85 degrees C) for one minute. However, the virus can still be spread from cooked food if it is contaminated after cooking. Adequate chlorination of water, as recommended in the United States, kills HAV that enters the water supply.
Can Hepatitis A become chronic?
No. Hepatitis A does not become chronic.
Can persons become reinfected with HAV after recovering from Hepatitis A?
No. IgG antibodies to HAV, which appear early in the course of infection, provide lifelong protection against the disease.
How is HAV infection prevented?
Vaccination with the full, two-dose series of Hepatitis A vaccine is the best way to prevent HAV infection. Hepatitis A vaccine has been licensed in the United States for use in persons 12 months of age and older. The vaccine is recommended for persons who are more likely to get HAV infection or are more likely to get seriously ill if they get Hepatitis A (see Who should be vaccinated against Hepatitis A?).
Immune globulin is available for short-term protection (approximately 3 months) against Hepatitis A, both pre- and post-exposure. Immune globulin must be administered within 2 weeks after exposure for maximum protection.
Good hygiene -- including handwashing or use of hand sanitizer after using the bathroom, changing diapers, and before preparing or eating food -- is also integral to Hepatitis A prevention, given that the virus is transmitted through the fecal–oral route.
Hepatitis A Vaccination
Who should be vaccinated against Hepatitis A?
Hepatitis A vaccination is recommended for all children at age 1 year, for persons who are at increased risk for infection, for persons who are at increased risk for complications from Hepatitis A, and for any person wishing to obtain immunity. The following groups are recommended to receive Hepatitis A vaccination:
All children at age 1 year (i.e., 12–23 months). Children who have not been vaccinated by age 2 can be vaccinated at subsequent visits.
Children and adolescents ages 2–18 who live in states or communities where routine Hepatitis A vaccination has been implemented because of high disease incidence. Before 2006, when Hepatitis A vaccination was first recommended for all children at age 1 year, vaccination had been targeted to children living in states or communities that had historically high rates of Hepatitis A. States, counties, and communities with existing Hepatitis A vaccination programs for children aged 2–18 years are encouraged to maintain these programs. In those communities, new efforts focused on routine vaccination of children at age 1 year should enhance, not replace, ongoing programs directed at a broader population of children.
Persons traveling to or working in countries that have high or intermediate rates of Hepatitis A. Persons from developed countries who travel to developing countries are at high risk for Hepatitis A. The risk for Hepatitis A exists even for travelers to urban areas, those who stay in luxury hotels, and those who report that they have good hygiene and that they are careful about what they drink and eat (see Hepatitis A and International Travel for more information).
Men who have sex with men. Sexually active men (both adolescents and adults) who have sex with men should be vaccinated. Hepatitis A outbreaks among men who have sex with men have been reported frequently. Recent outbreaks have occurred in urban areas in the United States, Canada, and Australia.
Users of illegal injection and noninjection drugs. During the past two decades, outbreaks of Hepatitis A have been reported with increasing frequency among users of both injection and noninjection drugs (e.g., methamphetamine) in North America, Europe, and Australia.
Persons who have occupational risk for infection. Persons who work with HAV-infected primates or with HAV in a research laboratory setting should be vaccinated. No other groups have been shown to be at increased risk for HAV infection because of occupational exposure.
Persons who have chronic liver disease. Persons with chronic liver disease who have never had Hepatitis A should be vaccinated, as they have a higher rate of fulminant Hepatitis A (i.e., rapid onset of liver failure, often leading to death). Persons who are either awaiting or have received liver transplants also should be vaccinated.
Persons who have clotting-factor disorders. Persons who have never had Hepatitis A and who are administered clotting-factor concentrates, especially solvent detergent-treated preparations, should be vaccinated.
Which Hepatitis A vaccines are licensed for use in the United States?
Two single-antigen Hepatitis A vaccines, HAVRIX® (manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline) and VAQTA® (manufactured by Merck & Co., Inc), are currently licensed in the United States. A combination vaccine, TWINRIX® (manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline), contains both HAV (in a lower dosage; see table) and Hepatitis B virus antigens. All are inactivated vaccines.
What are the dosages and schedules for Hepatitis A vaccines?
1Hepatitis A vaccine, inactivated, GlaxoSmithKline.
1Hepatitis A vaccine, inactivated, Merck & Co., Inc.
1Combined Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B vaccine, inactivated, GlaxoSmithKline.
How long does protection from Hepatitis A vaccine last?
A recent review by an expert panel, which evaluated the projected duration of immunity from vaccination, concluded that protective levels of antibody to HAV could be present for at least 25 years in adults and at least 14–20 years in children.
Can Hepatitis A vaccine be administered concurrently with other vaccines?
Yes. Hepatitis B, diphtheria, poliovirus (oral and inactivated), tetanus, oral typhoid, cholera, Japanese encephalitis, rabies, and yellow fever vaccines and immune globulin can be given at the same time that Hepatitis A vaccine is given, but at a different injection site.
Can a patient receive the first dose of Hepatitis A vaccine from one manufacturer and the second (last) dose from another manufacturer?
Yes. Although studies have not been done to examine this issue, there is no reason to believe that using single-antigen vaccine from different manufacturers would be a problem.
What should be done if the second (last) dose of Hepatitis A vaccine is delayed?
The second dose should be administered as soon as possible. The first dose does not need to be readministered.
Can Hepatitis A vaccine be given during pregnancy?
The safety of Hepatitis A vaccination during pregnancy has not been determined; however, because the vaccine is produced from inactivated HAV, the theoretical risk to the developing fetus is expected to be low. The risk associated with vaccination, however, should be weighed against the risk for Hepatitis A in women who might be at high risk for exposure to HAV.
Can Hepatitis A vaccine be given to immunocompromised persons (e.g., persons on hemodialysis or persons with AIDS)?
Yes. Because Hepatitis A vaccine is inactivated, no special precautions need to be taken when vaccinating immunocompromised persons.
Is it harmful to administer an extra dose(s) of Hepatitis A or Hepatitis B vaccine or to repeat the entire vaccine series if documentation of vaccination history is unavailable?
No. If necessary, administering extra doses of Hepatitis A or Hepatitis B vaccine is not harmful.
Should prevaccination testing be performed before administering Hepatitis A vaccine?
Prevaccination testing is recommended only in specific circumstances to reduce the costs of vaccinating people who are already immune to Hepatitis A, including
Prevaccination testing might also be warranted for all older adults. The decision to test should be based on 1) the expected prevalence of immunity, 2) the cost of vaccination compared with the cost of serologic testing, and 3) the likelihood that testing will not interfere with initiation of vaccination.
Should postvaccination testing be performed?
No. Postvaccination testing is not indicated because of the high rate of vaccine response among adults and children. In addition, not all testing methods approved for routine diagnostic use in the United States have the sensitivity to detect low, but protective, anti-HAV concentrations after vaccination.
Which groups do NOT need routine vaccination against Hepatitis A?
Food service workers. Foodborne Hepatitis A outbreaks are relatively uncommon in the United States; however, when they occur, intensive public health efforts are required for their control.
Although persons who work as food handlers have a critical role in common-source foodborne outbreaks, they are not at increased risk for Hepatitis A because of their occupation. Consideration may be given to vaccination of employees who work in areas where community-wide outbreaks are occurring and where state and local health authorities or private employers determine that such vaccination is cost-effective.
Sewage workers. In the United States, no work-related outbreaks of Hepatitis A have been reported among workers exposed to sewage.
Health care workers. Health care workers are not at increased risk for Hepatitis A. If a patient with Hepatitis A is admitted to the hospital, routine infection-control precautions will prevent transmission to hospital staff.
Children under 12 months of age. Because of the limited experience with Hepatitis A vaccination among children in this age group, the vaccine is not currently licensed for children age <12 months.
Child care center attendees. The frequency of outbreaks of Hepatitis A is not high enough in this setting to warrant routine Hepatitis A vaccination. In some communities, however, child care centers play a role in sustaining community-wide outbreaks. In this situation, consideration should be given to adding Hepatitis A vaccine to the prevention plan for unvaccinated children and staff in the involved center(s).
Residents of institutions for developmentally disabled persons. Historically, Hepatitis A virus infections were common among persons with developmental disabilities living in institutions. The occurrence of HAV infection has diminished, and routine vaccination against Hepatitis A is no longer recommended for this population.
Hepatitis A and International Travel
Who should receive protection against Hepatitis A before travel?
All susceptible persons traveling to or working in countries that have high or intermediate rates of Hepatitis A should be vaccinated or receive immune globulin (IG) before traveling. Persons from developed countries who travel to developing countries are at high risk for Hepatitis A. The risk for Hepatitis A exists even for travelers to urban areas, those who stay in luxury hotels, and those who report that they have good hygiene and that they are careful about what they drink and eat. For more information on international travel and HAV, see CDC's travel page at wwwn.cdc.gov/travel/yellowBookCh4-HepA.aspx .
How soon before travel should the first dose of Hepatitis A vaccine be given?
The first dose of Hepatitis A vaccine should be administered as soon as travel is considered.
Previously, Hepatitis A vaccination was recommended to be administered at least 2–4 weeks before departure to an area with intermediate or high rates of Hepatitis A. Travelers who were departing in less than 2 weeks were recommended to receive IG for short-term protection.
However, on the basis of data indicating that immune globulin and vaccine have equivalent postexposure efficacy among healthy persons aged 1–40 years, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has amended its guidelines for Hepatitis A vaccination for travelers. ACIP now recommends that one dose of single-antigen Hepatitis A vaccine administered at any time before departure may provide adequate protection for most healthy persons.
For optimal protection, older adults, immunocompromised persons, and persons with chronic liver disease or other chronic medical conditions who are planning to depart in <2 weeks should receive the initial dose of vaccine and also can simultaneously be administered IG (0.02 mL/kg) at a separate anatomic injection site.
What should be done if a traveler cannot receive Hepatitis A vaccine?
Travelers who are allergic to a vaccine component or who elect not to receive vaccine should receive a single dose of immune globulin (0.02 mL/kg), which provides effective protection against Hepatitis A virus infection for up to 3 months. Travelers whose travel period exceeds 2 months should be administered immune globulin at 0.06 mL/kg; administration must be repeated if the travel period exceeds 5 months.
What should be done for travelers less than 12 months of age?
Immune globulin is recommended because Hepatitis A vaccine is currently not licensed for use in this age group.
Postexposure Prophylaxis for Hepatitis A
What are the current CDC guidelines for postexposure protection against Hepatitis A?
Until recently, an injection of immune globulin (IG) was the only recommended way to protect people after they have been exposed to Hepatitis A virus. In June 2007, U.S. guidelines were revised to allow for Hepatitis A vaccine to be used after exposure to prevent infection in healthy persons aged 1–40 years.
Persons who have recently been exposed to HAV and who have not been vaccinated previously should be administered a single dose of single-antigen Hepatitis A vaccine or IG (0.02 mL/kg) as soon as possible, within 2 weeks after exposure. The guidelines vary by age and health status:
Who requires protection (i.e., IG or Hepatitis A vaccine) after exposure to HAV?
Close personal contacts. Close personal contacts of persons with serologically confirmed Hepatitis A (i.e., through a blood test), including:
Consideration should also be given to providing IG or Hepatitis A vaccine to persons with other types of ongoing, close personal contact with a person with Hepatitis A (e.g., a regular babysitter or caretaker).
Child-care center staff, attendees, and attendees' household members
In settings in which repeated exposures to HAV might have occurred, such as institutional cafeterias, stronger consideration of PEP use might be warranted.
If a case of Hepatitis A is found in a school, hospital, or office setting, what should be done?
If a single case of Hepatitis A is identified in a school (other than a child care setting in which children wear diapers), office, or other work setting, and if the source of infection is outside the school or work setting, PEP (i.e., injection of IG or Hepatitis A vaccine) is not routinely recommended. Similarly, when a person who has Hepatitis A is admitted to a hospital, staff should not routinely be administered PEP; instead, careful hygienic practices should be emphasized.
However, if it is determined that Hepatitis A has been spread among students in a school or among patients and staff in a hospital, PEP should be administered to unvaccinated persons who have had close contact with an infected person.

Need to get under your vehicle but aren't a genetically modified super human capable of lifting heavy items with one hand? Well then look no further than the 1.5 Ton Aluminum Racing Jack from Harbor Freight Tools! Singled out as "the undisputed king of the garage" by Four Wheeler magazine, the lightweight and compact floor jack lives up to its stellar reputation at a price that floors the competition. With this workhorse jack in your arsenal, it's the perfect way to lift up to 3,000 lbs. with just 3-1/2 pumps without putting any undue strain on your back. At least until those genetic modifications become legal.
"I have an older version of this jack. It is so easy to use that, even with my medical problems, I can still work on my cars. It fits under my Chevy Citation, and Chrysler New Yorker, but it has the power to lift our Mercury Villager easily! It raises the vehicle up high. When my cheap jack was stolen from under my van, I bought one of these, and I have never regretted it, even with the new lower price!" – Gary from San Diego, Ca
"I fell in love with this jack after my wife bought it for me. It's the first jack I've owned where I felt I had complete control of the jack going down. It is the main reason I like it and it's easy on my bad back." – Bob from Aiken, Co
"The jack worked well right out of the box. I didn't have to bleed or adjust anything. The valve works well, the car can be lowered as abruptly or gradually as you want. I've used the jack for a year so far with no tricks or surprises. An excellent tool." – Rantbot from Boston, Ma
Look, you don't have to have a bad back to take full advantage of the awesome aluminum racing jack. I don't even think cyborgs like Rantbot have backs. But for quick and easy lifting, you can't go wrong with this tough, portable jack. Well… I guess you can if you try to lift more than 3,000 lbs. So, be sure to follow those instructions. I know the guy who writes them and he spends a lot of time making sure they're correct so don't feel the need to test them. We do that here.

More than 300 area youth compete at 'Texas Super Showcase'
(press release)
More than 300 area youth from Texas and Louisiana recently gathered in Beaumont to compete at the Inaugural "Texas Super Showcase" Basketball Tournament, benefitting IEA – Inspire, Encourage, Achieve/Ben's Kids.
Hosted by the Beaumont Athletics Club, the three-day tournament featured 30 skilled teams, composed of players ranging in age from nine to sixteen.
The winners from the tournament were as follows:
· 10U Girls Bracket: Lumberton Lady Allstars
· 10U Boys Bracket: LC Stars
· 12U Girls Bracket: Beaumont Athletics Club Lady Cardinals
· 12U Boys Bracket: MC Flight
· 14U Boys Bracket: LC Stars
· 16U Boys Bracket: BMT Mustangs
Though the competition was fierce, the mission of the tournament was never forgotten. Through donations and sales, $1,500 was raised forIEA – Inspire, Encourage, Achieve/Ben's Kids, an organization that inspires and encouragesarea youth who have experienced hardships and difficulties by initiating enhanced educational, rehabilitative and other support services for them and their families.
"IEA has the same goals that I have," said Landon Ardoin, Director of the Beaumont Athletics Club. "I want to make a difference in the lives of children, see them go to college and be successful. Athletics are just a tool to reach those individuals and bring them together. I'm proud to help them achieve their dreams, just as others helped me achieve my dreams."
Founded by Ardoin, who is a 1999 graduate of the Ben Rogers/Lamar University/BISD "I Have a Dream" Program, the Beaumont Athletics Club is a youth organization that facilitates affordable sporting competitions, while fostering the personal, academic and physical progress of its participants.
In the spirit of "paying it forward," Ardoin, a kinesiology student at Lamar University, and his wife, Billie Ardoin, a Lamar University Department of Education 2013 graduate, are perpetuating the mission of the late child advocate, Ben Rogers, who dedicated his life to helping young people achieve dignity and respect through knowledge, compassion, understanding and love. The Beaumont Athletics Club similarly encourages community activism and support for other non-profits that share its collective vision for area youth.
As the tournament's benefitting charity, IEA strives to support the needs of local, at-risk youth. Last year, IEA staff and volunteers worked in the Minnie Rogers Juvenile Justice Center (MRJJC) with more than 325 youth, who received counseling and other therapeutic services, including anger management, art and yoga. Staff also provided parenting classes for nearly 100 parents, who benefited from a supportive network of resources, enabling them to strengthen their parenting skills and develop stronger support systems. Only four of the 92 "Ben's Kids" enrolled in IEA's outreach program returned to the MRJJC for a new offense while participating in Ben's Kids activities.
For more information about the Beaumont Athletics Club, please contact Landon Ardoin at (409) 499-7815. For additional information about IEA – Inspire Encourage Achieve/Ben's Kids, please contact Angeliqueca Avery at (409) 839.8778.

At any club, great or small, football fans bring matches to life in a flurry of noise, colour and ambience.
Some supporters may argue that their club produces an atmosphere like no other, but bigger numbers usually means bigger noise. So, using stats from ESPN's official website, we take a look at the attendance figures of the top clubs in Europe to see who is filling out their stadiums more than others.
10. Newcastle United - St James' Park
50,061 (95.5% of 52,387 capacity)
Having some of the most dedicated fans in England behind the club, The Magpies have endured a turbulent last few years.
Finishing fifth in the Premier League last season suggested that Newcastle were beginning to show signs of returning to the good times in the near future. However, Alan Pardew's side have struggled this season and are currently 13th place in the Premier League.
But the Toon army are an exceptionally passionate and loyal group of supporters who pile into St James' Park without fail, and are respected by most rival fans in England.
9. Ajax - Amsterdam Arena
50,683 (95.7% of 52,960 capacity)
As one of the three powerhouse clubs in Dutch football, Ajax is currently wrestling with rivals PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord for their 32nd Eredivisie title.
The long-term success of 'de Amsterdammers' has established a huge fan-base, and although it is the largest stadium in the Netherlands, the Amsterdam Arena is often filled to the brim with thousands of ardent Ajax supporters.
8. Hamburg SV - Imtech Arena
52,493 (92.0% of 57,000 capacity)
Arguably the most under-achieving side on this list, Hamburg finished 15th in the Bundesliga last season, their worst campaign in over a decade.
But Thorsten Fink's side have picked themselves up this campaign and are pushing for a spot in European competition next season.
Their promising results have ensured a consistently full house at the Imtech Arena.
7. Arsenal - Emirates Stadium
60,077 (99.5% 60,355 capacity)
Despite their last piece of silverware coming way back in 2005, Gunners fans appear happy to pay for the infamously expensive tickets in the Premier League to see their team play.
Arsenal should be proud of their new Emirates Stadium, and the rock-solid attendance at home fixtures indicate that the supporters are too.
The London club boasts the third-biggest stadium in England behind Old Trafford and Wembley, and although they are yet to bless their new home with a trophy, Arsenal certainly have a fan-base to be proud of.
6. Schalke 04 - Veltins-Arena
61,092 (99.0% of 61,673 capacity)
The Gelsenkirchen club is having a strong season this term, and the fans of 'Die Knappen' are relishing the recent success of their side, providing immense support at the Veltins-Arena on a regular basis.
Finishing third behind Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund last season, Schalke currently sit fifth in the Bundesliga table, only six points from a guaranteed Champions League spot next term.
Like Dortmund, Jens Keller's men are another ambitious team who look capable of competing with Bayern Munich in the coming years - a bright future that will no doubt please the Schalke faithful.
5. Bayern Munich - Allianz Arena
71,000 (99.8% of 71,137 capacity)
After lifting the Bundesliga title on 22 occasions, Bayern fans are certainly used to not just succeeding in, but also dominating German football.
Although archrivals Borussia Dortmund are becoming a German force, Jupp Heynckes' men have been magnificent in both Europe and domestically this season.
Having earned a Champions quarterfinal spot and gained a 20-point lead atop the Bundesliga, the Bavarians vast support base continue to pack the Allianz Arena in appreciation.
4. Real Madrid - Estadio Santiago Bernabéu
72,601 (84.9% of 85,454 capacity)
Similar to Manchester United, Real Madrid remains a footballing icon. 'Los Blancos' are one of the most popular and successful clubs in the world, and the best players on Earth dream of playing in their beautiful all-white kit inside the Santiago Bernabéu.
The likes of David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane and Brazilian legend, Ronaldo have graced the famous pitch, the trend of big names continues with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo drawing over 70,000 spectators.
However, it appears such an incredible array of talent and history is not enough for Madrid to fill their stadium up to capacity and compete with the support numbers of the top three most supported European clubs this season.
3. Manchester United - Old Trafford
75,526 (99.6% of 75,765 capacity)
Everybody on the planet knows who Manchester United are. If you asked a person to name five football clubs, it is nearly certain that Man United would be mentioned first.
A football club that has a global stature like no other. The attendance figures at Old Trafford lie as testament to the fact that they are no ordinary club, but also a trademark of football.
2. FC Barcelona - Camp Nou
77,232 (78.1% of 98,787 capacity)
Barcelona boast the biggest stadium in Europe and the 13th largest in the entire world, and yet they fail to top the charts in terms of average attendance this season.
In addition to their enormous global popularity, one would assume that having Lionel Messi within their ranks would give the Catalan giants an unassailable edge in attendance over their European rivals.
Nonetheless, the Camp Nou is one of the most amazing places to watch arguably the best team in the world torture opponents with their beautiful yet deadly football.
1. Borussia Dortmund - Signal Iduna Park (Westfalenstadion)
80,500 (99.8% of 80,645 capacity)
It will not surprise many that Dortmund top the list. The city of Dortmund is football crazy, and Jurgen Klopp's side has evolved into one of the most dangerous clubs in Europe.
The black and yellow ocean of passionate Dortmund fans engulf the largest stadium in Germany effortlessly at every Signal Iduna Park fixture, and no other club in the world can offer such an incredible sight.
Who do you think are the best fans in the world? Are you surprised a particular club didn't make this list? Let us know what you think in the comments below!

HTC One X+

really nice phone ... ay fast

HTC One X reborn
About a week ago I upgraded my aging HTC Inspire with a new HTC One X. I was not at all happy with the battery performance on this phone so when the new HTC One X + became available on 11/16, I paid ATT the $35 restocking fee plus the extra $100 and made the swap. I must say, I am so far not sorry I did so. The HTC One X + is a great improvement on what was already a great phone. I can easily get 2 days out of one charging with moderate use and go a whole day with no problem with heavy use.
- great physical feel
- outstanding display
- very good (improved) battery life
- great camera(s)
- good speaker volume and clarity
- Could be excellent battery life with a 2800 ma+ battery (listening HTC?)
- USB port should be on the bottom not side of the phone (again....listening HTC?)
Overall, a great, if not outstanding, phone, Only 3 days in and time will tell but it looks like HTC has another winner.

The nice thing about Chrome Sync and other similar services (Opera Link, Mozilla Weave, Google Toolbar) is that you can use any computer and keep your browser's data in sync. Mozilla Weave synchronizes more data: passwords, sessions, browser history, but it's likely that Google will add these features to Chrome. Google could also synchronize extensions and themes.

MIDDLEBURY — Despite plenty of effort in Thursday's home game vs. traditional rival Woodstock, the Middlebury Union High School boys' lacrosse team came up just short, 7-6.
The 10-4 Wasps scored the only two goals of the fourth quarter to erase an MUHS lead, while the Tigers committed a few too many mistakes and Wasp goalie Ben Orr made three of his seven saves.
MIDDLEBURY — Mount Mansfield Union High School's boys' and girls' track teams took first place at a Tuesday meet hosted by Middlebury, while Mount Abraham's teams took second.

MIDDLEBURY — The Addison County poverty fighting organization Helping Overcome Poverty's Effects (HOPE) has put out a new plea for donations in wake of a depleted food shelf and big surge in people asking for help in paying utility bills.
"I have never seen this before; people are calling asking about help every day," said HOPE Executive Director Jeanne Montross, who has led the poverty fighting organization for more than a decade.
"This is amazing."
SALISBURY/LEICESTER — The Lake Dunmore/Fern Lake Association (LDFLA) wants to enlist the help of some tiny insects to accomplish a feat that has thus far eluded hail divers and heavy marine equipment: the eradication of Eurasian milfoil.
The LDFLA has applied for permission from the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources to introduce thousands of Euhrychiopsis lecontei — aka milfoil weevils — as another weapon in removing the nuisance aquatic weeds that have been steadily encroaching on the lakes.
VERGENNES — Vergennes Mayor Michael Daniels made official in a Wednesday phone interview what he hinted at during last Tuesday's city council meeting: He will not run again for his office next March.
"I am stepping down," Daniels said on May 23. "I am going to stay active in the community in some way, shape or matter ... But unless something changes drastically, I am not running again next year ... I'm still having fun, but it's time for a fresh set of eyes."
BRISTOL — The Mount Abraham Union High School board has reconfigured the leaderships at the Bristol school, a move that could cut costs.
The change comes as Co-Principal Leon Wheeler next year will leave to become principal at Winooski High School and Dean of Students Nancy Yannette also will leave Mount Abe.
BRISTOL — The Bristol selectboard kicked off its Monday meeting by holding annual public hearings for the water district, sewer district and landfill.
All three spending plans for next fiscal year reflect decreases from this year. Next year's spending level for:
• The landfill was set at $155,250, down 1.5 percent from this year's budgeted spending of $157,600.
• The water district was set at $247,700, down 5 percent from this year's 260,700.
GOSHEN — The town of Goshen is headed to court on May 30 to defend itself against a lawsuit brought by a former town constable.
Tom Kerr is suing the town in Addison County District Court on four counts, stating that the town unlawfully terminated his constable position, trash and recycling removal and landscaping contracts, and invoking Vermont's "whistleblower law," which prevents employers from retaliating against a worker who files a complaint or reports a problem with the employer.

Nicola Adams: I fought through pain for Olympic Gold
Nicola Adams has revealed how she was forced to fight through the pain barrier to make history as the first ever Olympic women's boxing gold medallist in London last year.
Adams captured the nation's hearts by sweeping through the flyweight division, while keeping secret a serious hand injury which caused her pain and restricted her training regime.
Adams damaged ligaments in two knuckles on her right hand during her run to the final of the World Championships in May last year and the injury threatened to hit her hopes of an Olympic medal.
Adams told Press Association Sport: "I boxed right through the Olympics with a battered hand.
"I damaged it at the World Championships, but I knew I had 10 or 12 weeks before the Olympics and we came to the conclusion we could bandage it up and make the best of it.
"It was bad enough that I couldn't warm up on the pads and I felt it all the way through my fights.
"But I had the will-power and determination to get through it. I kept telling myself I only had one or two fights more to go before I realised my ambition of becoming Olympic champion."
Adams knocked down China's world number one Ren Cancan en route to an emphatic final victory which made her a household name.
The 30-year-old from Leeds has relished a whirlwind of public appearances since her victory in London, and has now returned to light training after an operation on her injury in December.
Adams is now most likely to make her long-awaited return to the ring at the European Union Championships in Keszthely, Hungary in June.
Adams, who will receive her MBE next week at Buckingham Palace, added: "I am still as passionate as ever about the sport.
"I have still got to get a gold medal at the World Championships and I am also looking forward to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow next year. I have a lot left to prove before I am finished."

Square Enix in 2010: President Wada Speaks
July 12, 2010 Page 1 of 3
Since the last time Gamasutra got to sit down with Square Enix president and CEO Yoichi Wada, the company has had a year to integrate the Final Fantasy creators' latest acquisition, Eidos -- and we now know that its early promises of meaningful and binding ties between the two companies, no matter how different their styles, was truthful.
For one example, we know that an Eidos employee, Julien Merceron, has been named the company's worldwide technology director, and has created an atmosphere of collaboration between the company's Japanese, European, and North American studios.
It's also clear from speaking to Wada that he sees Tomb Raider and Hitman creator Eidos fitting in as a vital part of the overall organization.
In this interview, he discusses his company's overall strategy, his view toward integrating companies into a whole and the possibilities of more acquisitions by Square Enix, and the current state of game development in Japan, as troubled as it is, among other topics.
Things have been moving rapidly towards integration since the acquisition of Eidos. From your perspective, how has that integration been going? Are you satisfied with the progress?
Yoichi Wada: In terms of the organization-wide integration with Eidos, we were able to complete it in one year, and I'm very satisfied with that. And this integration was completed with the creators being highly motivated, so how it has been done has left us in a very favorable position.
So what's important is where to go from here; we have become a good family now. What to do, as a family, going forward, is what's important, and I'm really looking forward to what we can do together as a family.
It seems that with most companies that have a Japanese side and a Western side, there's not much actual integration, but you're actively pursuing that. From both a technology and a creative standpoint, it seems like a big challenge. Do you think that you're entering uncharted territory?
YW: I know I don't feel that way, because, to start with, our company was the result of a merger between Square and Enix. Then we bought out Taito, then we bought Eidos. Every time we had an acquisition, we became a new company, and of course there are challenges, but doing these kinds of deals has always become a driver for growth for our company. We respect each other's culture, and try to coexist with these different cultures, and through these interactions, we generate something new.
We consider these moves as strategic moves for the growth of the company. When we acquire another company, it's not simply for the purpose of becoming a bigger entity. The purpose is to bring in fresh air and different blood, by mixing with something totally different. Our intention is to become a stronger organization. This navigation may not have a chart, but the navigation is intentional.
Some ten years ago, Square, Enix, Taito, and Eidos were all separate companies. Is consolidation a general trend in the industry, or simply part of the plan for your business?
YW: From my perspective, it is a part of my plan.
From 2000 to 2010, we've seen the first phase of a major reformation of the industry. I had an idea it would happen, and I also figured that, from 2010 onward, we'd see further large-scale restructuring of the industry, even involving businesses outside of the game industry.
Considering this, I concluded that there was a limit to what we could do with the wholly independent business culture we worked within [as Square alone]. This was the way we were thinking ever since I was appointed president of Square in 2001.
However, independent of this, after Square Enix was born, Japanese companies started merging with each other like clockwork. In terms of how it turned out, therefore, it did wind up being a trend, or a trigger, but it wasn't our intention to kick off a trend.
What's the motivation, and how do you pursue these business opportunities? Is it to simply to bring in different blood, as you said? Taito has its amusement business, Eidos is strong in Western development. Are you going to continue to look at new opportunities?
YW: I have always thought that it would only be a matter of time before a wide range of people would start playing games. Ten or 20 years ago, games were considered to be a very special, unique type of entertainment which appealed only to a very small demographic group. Even then, I was thinking that soon the whole wide world -- not just young men, but also adults, women, and people of different demographic profiles -- would start playing games, too.
Given the situation then, games were being created by young men, and there were so many things that the people who were creating the games did not understand. I thought that as games would eventually be for both the old and the young and for men and women, we would have to have a wider range of creators. Without a wider skill set, or people with wider backgrounds, I felt that I would not be able to fight in this new battlefield. And as a means to acquire the skills to fight with, I repeated this strategy of mergers.
Are you still open to possible mergers and acquisitions in the future?
YW: Of course, I would always pursue one when the right opportunity arises. What I mean to say is, take this premise: new culture is needed. For example, let's say there's a need for social networking type services -- but when it comes to that, maybe the resources we have today may not be enough to address that market's needs.

"Miracle" Pushing the Boundaries
- Details
- Published on Thursday, 21 February 2013 16:08
We are happy to announce that the song "Miracle (Flower)" that started Gruvlend's big project "Planet Gruvlend!" found approval with authors of previous versions of the song "Les Fleur" which it is based on.
Makers of 2001 version 4Hero, whose arrangement we used as blueprint, published the song on their Facebook profile with their commendations to numerous positive reactions from around the world - http://www.facebook.com/4hero?fref=ts.
We are especially pleased that the author of the original music and lyrics, Richard Rudolph, husband of late Minnie Riperton who first sang "Les Fleur" in 1970, and who became great supporter of Gruvlend in the meantime, expressed his sincere delight with the song through the following email endorsement:
"I just wanted to state for the record how delighted I am with the Planet Gruvend recording of Les Fleur... translated title: Miracle (Flower). Actually "delighted" is not a strong enough word to describe how excited I am about your version of this song that I wrote with the late, great Charles Stepney many moons ago. It is a very special song for me and I am so happy to report that you and your amazing collection of brilliant and soulful singers and musicians really captured and expressed the universality that lives at the heart of Les Fleur.
I also think it sounds truly great in Serbo-Croatian, which just serves to further demonstrate the power of music to cross all boundaries and reach the hearts of people everywhere no matter the language. Everyone I have played it for absolutely flips over it but also understands the feeling and love conveyed in the music.
I am also completely blown away by the depth of talent in the Serbian musical universe demonstrated in this recording! I only hope we can find a way to collaborate on many more projects together in the near future.
Thank you for this beautiful recording.
Musically yours,
Richard Rudolph"
In the two months of being published song "Miracle/Flower" by various artists of project "Planet Gruvlend!" was viewed more than 50,000 times on our Youtube channel and was downloaded over 4,000 times. The song hit all relevant music charts locally and got attention of many news media.
Song "Miracle/Flower" will be available for free download on our website until the end of February only due to impending strategic changes in the project. Hurry up and get your free copy while you can!
Happy New Era!

Year 2012, although now we can say was just another year in which the Apocalypse did not come, was still turbulent in many respects. We witnessed many a breakdown, human ups and downs, social and political upheavals, all of it topped with a growing lack of everyone's best friend - hard cash.
To remind ourselves, at five minutes to midnight on December 31 of last year, after five long winter nights spent in the editing room with legendary Yugoslavian filmmaker Jovan Joca Jovanović, Gruvlend published the video for the song "U opasnosti", the fifth and final single of Zemlja gruva, using material from the feature film "Mlad i zdrav kao ruža", and ended the year with the quote from the song lyrics "… do something to make this world a better place, now!"
Still, not a lot was actually done, since the second year is coming to a close without any new releases from the band Zemlja gruva, which created tension and ultimately led to irreconcilable differences about managing the band and other production activities. After months of turmoil, speculation, unfounded rumors and sometimes malicious gossip, all of it resulted in Zemlja gruva deciding not to participate in the project "Planet Gruvlend!", definitively ending the many years of collaboration between the group and its publisher Gruvlend. The band continued on their own, under new management and with changing lineups, while Gruvlend turned to a new, very ambitious project - "Planet Gruvlend!"
We use this opportunity to thank the band Zemlja gruva on our collaboration which resulted in publishing the album "WTF is Gruvlend?". We believe that this is a seminal release since it represents the effort of a critical mass of right people, good energy, skill and talent, as well as many a sleepless night at the studio, which all will be difficult to replicate any time soon. We too are eager to hear new material by Zemlja gruva, and we wish well to all the band members and many hit records in the time to come. However, any further material of Zemlja gruva will not be a release of "Gruvlend!" label, nor will we be associated with or responsible in any way for it in the future. For all booking information and updates on activities of the band please go to their web presentation or their Facebook page.
We, on the other hand, in our on-going quest for groove, awaited the end of this year with the lyrics of the song "Miracle (Flower)", the first and most important single off of the album "Planet Gruvlend!" currently in the making and which will put together many artists on the music scene in new collaborations that will take place for the first time. We declared the End of the World to be - The New Beginning and we boldly stepped into the New Era, with new challenges to successfully overcome, with your help and support.
Let's end the review of the still current, year 2012, and wish you a very happy New Year 2013 with the words of Belgrade's genuis, poet Duško Radović (paraphrased):
Endings wear out, beginnings always last.
Beginning - that is what comes last.
Long Live Gruvlend!

Project Pilot - Single "Miracle (Flower)"
- Details
- Published on Friday, 07 December 2012 19:08
Single "Miracle (Flower)" represents the first and most important song off of the album "Planet Gruvlend!" the release of which marks the beginning of the namesake project. Official release of the song and the accompanying music video is scheduled for 21/12/2012, the day of the alleged Apocalypse and Great Galactic Alignment. Although this date has many negative connotations, within the mythology of our project it is a symbol of the new beginning rather than the end of the world. The idea behind the project managed to gather together, in one song, biggest names on the music scene from its beginning until the present, which these days truly is - a miracle in itself.
The song "Miracle (Flower)" is based on a 1970 Minnie Riperton number "Les Fleur" that was licensed to Gruvlend by Warner Music, and our arrangment adaptation is based on the 2001 version by the British band 4hero.
Video for the song "Miracle (Flower)" was shot in the recording studio on secret location where for twelve intense days all singers and musicians along with the children choir ran the production mill. All these good spirits who flashed in sequence contributed to making the miracle really - happen. Then, cameras went outside and about town to capture culture warriors of trades other than music who each individually, on locations they selected themselves, all together stood behind this appeal for awakening planetary consciousness and a new beginning.
WTF is Planet Gruvlend?
- Details
- Published on Thursday, 06 December 2012 19:08
"Planet Gruvlend!" is a unique phenomenon on our music scene in which its most prominent representatives from the late sixties to today are presented to wide audiences in a series of interdisciplinary events over six months, starting on the alleged day of the Apocalypse 21/12/2012 and culminating with a music spectacle scheduled for 21/06/2013, the World Music Day.
The basic idea of project "Planet Gruvlend!" is exchange of experience of established aces of the scene with the energy of younger, up and coming artists, captured on the concept album of the same name, which calls for awakening of planetary consciousness and a new way of thinking.
Artwork by Mladen Penev - www.mladenpenev.net
Through the prism of various music genres that represent the world's musical heritage, this project follows the development of our culture and society over time, and every song on the album reflects a certain epoch and is a product of collaboration of artists performing together for the first time.
In addition to being motivational, this project has broad cultural significance because it tells the story of development of popular music, as well as society in Serbia and the region, specifically Belgrade as its center. Underlying music thread of this entire project is groove, a unique danceable element in popular music, and as such, fundamental criterion that each participant must meet.

VIDEO "Zemlja gruva - U opasnosti (final cut)" in HD
- Details
- Published on Saturday, 31 December 2011 23:55
Written, directed and edited by: Jovan Joca Jovanović
U opasnosti - final single from the debut album "WTF is Gruvlend?" by Belgrade's band Zemlja gruva represents simultaneously their New Year's Greeting. The message of the song is not in the usual spirit of Chrismas, but rather in the spirit of the times ahead of us, the year marked as Apocalyptic, and also election year in Serbia.
The video was made in collaboration with Jovan Joca Jovanović, legendary Yugoslavian and Serbian film director. The video was made using sequences from the film "Mlad i zdrav kao ruža" and was edited by the author himself to the music and lyrics of Zemlja gruva. The video and song combined to create new context and depth.
Jovan Joca Jovanović, "enfant terrible" of Yugoslav cinematography with only one feature film managed to break all the taboos of socialist society and show that it is possible to make a brave and sincere work of art that pushes boundaries even in the authoritarian system. The film that, according to critics, represents "a slap in the face of conventions", Joca Jovanović depicts the underworld in the seventies and builds the portrait of antihero who becomes the model for everything that we had to live through during the nineties and the consequences of which we still feel today.
This Greeting comes in the very last moment, 5 minutes to midnight of the last day of the year in which we celebrate 40 years since the film was released and which highlights the message:
"... do something to make this world a better place, now!"

Season Two - The Rise and Fall of Radio Gruvlend on B92
- Details
- Published on Friday, 13 May 2011 21:24
In just eight episodes (out of which number seven was never recorded or was deleted from archives, while the last one, number eight, was just a tracklist) radio Gruvlend crew with Silent Niche who speechlessly watched over social networks during the show, and the rest from band Zemlja Gruva who helped him select tracks and chattered about light topics, and who were later on further joined by Moustache Nesh, did their second season 2010/11 of the radio show, this time not in the form of a radio drama but a standard afternoon talk-radio. How popular was the show is probably best described by the length of time it ran on radio B92 airwaves, nevertheless leaving indelible mark on the quest for groove and its definition that Radio Gruvlend started in its first season on internet radio NRBG. Check it out, particularly - the music selection.

Gruvlend!Sessions - The Beginning
- Details
- Published on Friday, 19 November 2010 21:21
Gruvlend!Sessions is a series of events that was born from the need to move music selection of Gruvlend crew to clubs around town and share it with the public. The idea of Gruvlend!Sessions came from Niche who recruited Zoe Kida, singer of Zemlja Gruva, to co-host the many resident DJ nights during the first season.
These sessions became legendary and Friday nights at the small club Kućica near the Temple of St. Sava on Vračar rocked week in week out. Gruvlend!Sessions became a brand in itself and toured the many night clubs of the capital while becoming synonymous with fresh grooves and good times till the wee hours of the morning.
Season One - Radio Gruvlend NRBG Beginnings
- Details
- Published on Sunday, 15 November 2009 23:32
Radio Gruvlend was conceived as a little team building exercise Nesh came up with to organize band members of Zemlja Gruva who were working on their debut album to try and start finishing things up. What they managed to finish up every week became an hour-long radio show in the form of a radio drama where the only subject was groove and its elusive definition. Gruvlend declared independence and seceded from the rest of the world and mandated visas for entry. There was only one qualifying condition - that the invited guest's work has - groove.
The newly formed banana state soon got its functionaries - Zoe Kida became Minister of Groove, Konstrakta - Mother of Groove, MC Milovan took the role of President of Gruvlend, Perica became President's Assistant (and left hand), Shobaya - Prime Minister of Gruvlend's puppet Government, Niche naturally took on the role of Chief of Propaganda while Nesh, recently arrived from afar, was left with the position of High Commissioner for Gruvlend.
Sessions of the expanded Government of Gruvlend, as they were internally referred to, were recorded and turned into radio shows that for three months during winter of 2009/10 entertained listeners Thursdays at midnight on internet radio New Radio BelGrade. Additionally, every participant put together their 60 minute long playlist to complement the show and the DJ/selector was rotated every week. That is how Radio Gruvlend phenomenon came to be, ran its first season on the internet and then moved to terrestrial radio B92 in the next season.

Gabby Agbonlahor losing sleep over Aston Villa slump
GABBY AGBONLAHOR is losing sleep over Aston Villa's alarming slump towards relegation.
It's obviously disappointing and the last few games have been hard to take
Villa's troubles are particularly worrying for the former England striker, being a boyhood fan of the club.
He said: "I have been tossing and turning at night after games, thinking: 'We could have done this better, we could have done that better.' It's been difficult.
"It's obviously disappointing and the last few games have been hard to take. You are going to lose sleep over it."
Agbonlahor believes most Villa supporters are still behind the team.
Those who stayed to the end of Tuesday's 2-1 defeat by Newcastle cheered them off for their second- half efforts.
"If you ask any Villa fan, they are going to be worried," Agbonlahor added. "But they saw the game against Newcastle and they knew we gave 100 per cent. As long as they see we have given 100 per cent, they are going to stick with us."
Villa are set to sign midfield enforcer Yacouba Sylla, 22, from French Ligue 2 club Clermont Foot for around £1.7m plus add-ons.

My favorite character is Jill because she kind. She is kind because she is nice to everyone in her class all the time. Jill also shares with friends. My favorite part is when Jill gave half of her cracker to Emily because it sounds like they have become friends. It reminds me of something that I would do with my friends also! I thought this book was great because the class in the book was a little crazy and not like other classes. Kids sneak out of the music room and I can't imagine that happening!
I would recommend December Secrets to people who like the month of December because this book is about what happens during the month of December. It is also about friendship so anyone that has made a new friend would like this book.
