KRANKLAND is the new project of Thomas Werbrouck (Little Trouble Kids), with Christophe Claeys on drums, Thomas Mortier on bass and Janko Beckers on pedal steel, toy keyboards, autoharp…
Debut album 'Wanderrooms' is far removed from the noise of Little Trouble Kids: it contains ten multi-layered, melancholic songs in which Thomas – master of light and shadow – put his heart and soul.
However, 'Wanderrooms' swings and grooves like you wouldn't expect from a weeping willow. First single 'In the Realms of the Unreal' spread its wings on Record Store Day 2016, and is 'a powerful psychedelic slowburner', according to Humo. Follow-up 'Summer Avalanche' mixes Mikal Cronin with feelgood Beach Boys-vibes.
Actually, it seems as if every song dresses down another indie-subgenre: from Sonic Youth ('Land of Hope and Sores') to Sparklehorse ('Dog Days') and Tom Waits ('Rat Race of the Slugs'). 'And He Rows' is one of the highlights of the record: with bells, crooked violins, singing saws, and woeful backing choirs.
We can only look forward to the many encores, yet to be written!
Welcome in KRANKLAND, welcome in 'Wanderrooms'. Forget all that you know, unexpect all the expected. It's going to be a wondrous journey!

One Big Reason You Might Be Hearing Crickets
It was the day after the workshop. The feedback I got was not what I expected. She said I was wrong about the amount of content I taught and that the presentation was dragging. She said I should not refer to my notes. I began to wonder if I was cut out for this. The topic was near to my heart and something I consider life changing -- and the feedback I've gotten from previous workshop participants was that the insights have carried into their day-to-day lives in a way that is changing how they respond to their choices. Which is exactly the outcome I had hoped for.
Once I got past the disappointment of her feedback, I realized that perhaps she wasn't the right person to receive my message. Her feedback was all related to me personally, not my message, which tells me she did not connect with the message at all. She wasn't in a place where she could receive what I was teaching. (Dealing with critics can be another topic for another day!)
This, my fellow entrepreneurs, is why it's so important to make sure your message is reaching the right people. I did reflect on what I could do to make the workshop better, or be more clear on what I hoped they would take away from it. I also recognized that the content of the workshop is truly good ... based on feedback from other's who loved it. I know that my message is right for the person who is ready to look at themselves and make some changes. And I know that the feedback I received from this particular critic can be set aside because it was not constructive and not the person I'm trying to reach.
My thought process went like this. It's possible my marketing for this workshop needs to be more clear about who the workshop is for. It's possible she just tagged along with a friend and didn't know what she was getting into. And it's possible the workshop was "dragging," though I don't think so based on the laughter, engagement, and feedback I got from others who WERE the right audience for my message.
There is a lesson here for our marketing as entrepreneurs ... big time. If you share your message on social media but hear crickets - one reason might be ...
You're not in front of the right people.
This could be true if your marketing experience includes:
- people you're speaking to aren't interested in what you have to offer.
- people who see your message, can't receive it.
- people who see your message, don't engage with your content.
Because what your offering, isn't connecting with a need that they have.
Which means -- you'll hear crickets.
In my 1:1 coaching with clients over the years, one of the MOST common questions I get is "How do I reach my audience?" Similar to what we learned from my experience with the person who didn't connect with my message -- the trick is to get in front of the RIGHT people who do need the message or product or service you want to share. To help you with this, I've put together a cheat sheet of ideas you can use to find your people!
Just a few tweaks can make a big impact!

San Francisco Giants
Brandon Belt wins fan vote, earns first All-Star nod
Brandon Belt said he was tentatively planning to spend the All-Star break back home in Texas. That has been his routine the past few years, spending time with friends and family he hasn't seen for months and watching the All-Star Game.
"I have dreamed about being there a time or two," Belt said of the Midsummer Classic. "And it's finally a dream come true."
Belt, the Giants' first baseman, is heading to San Diego after he won the fan vote for the final spot on this year's National League team. Results released Friday showed that Belt received 10.4 million votes, edging Pirates outfielder Starling Marte and three other candidates. It is Belt's first All-Star selection in his sixth major-league season.
The "Final Vote" process, in which fans could cast unlimited ballots, led teams and fans to flood social media the past few days to support their preferred player. Belt said he'd heard the N.L. race would be close – Marte led at times – but he did not follow the voting too closely until right before results were announced Friday afternoon.
"I was pretty nervous there toward the end," Belt said. "Lost my appetite a little bit, had some stomach rumblings."
As a result, Belt didn't finish the burger he'd ordered for lunch at a Lafayette restaurant ("And deviled eggs," he added, "that didn't help either"). On his way home, Belt said, he and his wife started getting congratulatory texts from friends and family. One of the first came from the wife of fellow All-Star Madison Bumgarner.
"Extremely excited, obviously," Belt said. "It's hard to put into words. I just can't believe that I'm an All-Star this year. It's pretty cool, especially if you step back and think about how many fans voted and how many times they voted, how many messages of how their thumbs were numb. It's pretty overwhelming to think about."
Belt did his own part to earn an All-Star nod. He enters the final series of the first half on Friday batting .300 with 10 home runs, 46 RBIs and a league-leading 27 doubles. His on-base-plus-slugging percentage of .917 is almost 100 points higher than his career average and ranks 12th among N.L. position players and third among first basemen behind Anthony Rizzo of the Cubs and Paul Goldschmidt of the Diamondbacks.
Both those players are All-Stars – Rizzo voted a starter by fans and Goldschmidt voted in by players – and Padres first baseman Wil Myers was named to the team by manager Terry Collins as San Diego's lone representative, which creates a logjam at the position. The final vote allowed Belt to join Giants teammates Bumgarner, Johnny Cueto and Buster Posey on the N.L. team.
"I couldn't be happier for him," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "It was good to see him make the club. I know he's just ecstatic, as he should be. We're very, very proud of him."
Bochy joked that Belt "owes me – I actually put a couple (of) votes in myself."
Belt said he was very aware of the outpouring of support that he received from fans and teammates on social media during the voting process. Outfielder Hunter Pence posted a video on Twitter urging fans to vote. Belt said he saw a lot of tweets from fans "saying their fingers were going to fall off" from voting so much.
"And ones drawing pictures of giraffes," he said. "Those were pretty cool."
Belt had apparently also perused the interactive map that Major League Baseball posted on its website, showing the voting totals by county. In Belt's home county of Angelina, Texas, he received a solid 96.9 percent of the vote.
Support was more tepid in nearby Nacogdoches County, where Belt was born. He pulled just 51.6 percent of the vote.
"Extremely disappointed in Nacogdoches County," Belt deadpanned. "Honestly I thought I meant more to you than that."
It still beat Belt's showing in Canada, where he was last among the five N.L. candidates at 11.6 percent.
"Canada hates me," Belt said. "I love Canada. I don't know what the deal is. But they do not like me, and I'm not sure what happened. I love Shania Twain."
On a more serious note, Belt was asked if being named an All-Star provided him with a measure of validation. Belt could be an oddly polarizing figure among Giants fans early in his career. He was fast-tracked through the minors, playing only one full season before debuting with the Giants in 2011. He initially resisted a repositioning of his hands in his batting stance that led to a minor breakthrough when he eventually embraced it.
Earlier this season, Belt talked about adopting a more patient and selective approach at the plate that he credited with increasing his walk rate and cutting down his strikeouts. Entering Friday, had walked 49 times – just seven from his career high – and struck out 64 times after setting a career high with 147 last season.
It's one adjustment that has led Belt to his best season so far as a major-leaguer – and his first All-Star nod.
"I've put in a lot of work, and the coaching staff and even teammates have put in a lot of work with me," Belt said. "This is for them as much as it is for me. There's a lot of people working hard to make you be successful. I just appreciate the organization having a lot of faith in me, appreciate the coaches and teammates having a lot of faith in me. It is kind of nice to have this right now."

There's poutine and then there's poutine. We've all caved to the glory of cheese curds, gravy and piping hot french fries at some point, whether it's a two o'clock on a Tuesday afternoon or on the wrong side of 4 a.m. I'm so Canadian I have fond memories of some of my favourite times eating poutine — not because I'm eating poutine. Okay, partly because I'm eating poutine, but also because of the occasion. Most of those memories are on the wrong side of 4 a.m. But some aren't. Technically not poutine, but the first time I ever had fries, dressing and gravy? Heaven. Walking home with a fresh, perfectly assembled poutine, while the world sleeps and the last of the Annex's rabble-rousers find taxis to take them back to their own corners of the city. Pure bliss. Heck, even the first time I elbowed my way into a Smoke's Poutinerie, arm in arm with the bride-to-be and the rest of the wedding party after her bachelorette party. We devoured those suckers like we meant it.
So I'm a lover of poutine. I'm craving one right now and I just had supper. Damn you, poutine.
That said, I have to admit there are some poutines that are just out there. After Canada decided yes, that we love poutine enough to make it a national dish, it seems the country's chefs and cooks took it upon themselves to out-do one another in crazy toppings. I regularly walk by my neighborhood Smoke's and cringe because they've got something outlandish on special. Most recently? Buffalo wings. Why do you want Buffalo wings on your poutine? That's too much gluttony!
And today BlogTO posted another one that made me cringe. Italiano poutine. Yep, take the inside of a lasagna and stick it on top of your curds and fries and you've got yourself this:
It got me to think about some of the more outrageous types of 'tine I've seen and so, in the interest of sharing, I present you a short, annotated list of weird poutines in Toronto.
1. Poutine Pizza (Mike's Pizza and Bannock)
Again, the decadence and child-like combination of two already fatty and salty comfort foods boggles my mind. The fact that you can get it both in a fine-dining establishment and a strip mall in Scarborough is testament to this poutine's nobrow culture.
2. Marrow bone poutine (Holy Chuck Burger)
I'll be honest here — I had this poutine. It was way too much. It was delicious. And decadent. It had a marrow bone on top of it. It also cost me an arm and a leg. Only available during last year's La Poutine week for a good reason. Check out the review of it on Nothing Found for pics. I inhaled mine before I ever thought to capture the memory of it outside my mind's eye.
3. Italiano poutine (San Francesco Foods)
I'm not surprised that the kings of veal sandwiches decided they need to enter the poutine game with a pound of meat and tomato sauce. It's not very inventive in my opinion but I'm sure it'll be a crowd pleaser. They've definitely branched out since they were bought out (?) and franchised a few years ago. The tiny walk-in on Clinton St., across from my favourite panzerotti joint Bitondo's, has been renovated and rebranded. Luckily they continue to make their cacciatorre, which Phill loves. He calls it meat candy.
4. Foie gras poutine (Holy Chuck Burger)
Maybe I should take out the marrow bone poutine and substitute it for this one because this is constantly on the menu at Holly Chuck? You know what, no. I'm not gonna cause I think everyone should know about that behemoth. This too is also something that I need to highlight because it's foie gras on french fries. This is another example of the highbrow meeting the lowbrow to create nobrow, a cultural mish-mash of weirdness that creates what? Indigestion in this particular case.
Not to be outdone by poutine, La Societie, the black-is-the-new-black drinks and nosh spot a stone's throw away from Holts on Bloor came out with the foie gras pain au lait hot dog. That's right folks, foie gras on a hot dog.
Good lord.
5. Anything from the Lakeview
Let's face it. The Lakeview diner has had the poutine beat down pat for years and years already. Whatever you get off their menu is going to be over-the-top and exactly what you need in the moment to kill the hangover.
This is my list. Have you seen anything that can top these poutines? There one more I'd like to make an honourable mention of for sheer creativity — and because it was featured during Montreal's La Poutine week. That would be the Poutine au Phoque from Au Cinquième Péché — poutine with seal meat. The review from Vice.com piqued my interest. Having tried seal meat for the first time last year and knowing the political "viewpoints" I know it's a controversial dish, but damn it, it looks so good — and it probably tasted good too.

Playboy: And the Beatles taught people how to swim?
John: If the Beatles or the Sixties had a message, it was to learn to swim. Period. And once you learn to swim, swim. The people who are hung up on the Beatles' and the Sixties' dream missed the whole point when the Beatles' and the Sixties' dream became the point. Carrying the Beatles' or the Sixties' dream around all your life is like carrying the Second World War and Glenn Miller around. That's not to say you can't enjoy Glenn Miller or the Beatles, but to live in that dream is the twilight zone. It's not living now. It's an illusion.
Playboy: Yoko, the single you and John released from your album seems to be looking toward the future.
Yoko: Yes, "Starting Over" is a song that makes me feel like crying.
-John Lennon & Yoko Ono, Autumn 1980
(Clear your mind of what you think of John and Yoko. You're gonna have to anyway for the purposes of this Project. Clear your mind, watch this video, and think of how you'd feel about it if it starred, say, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. Or, I dunno, George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez. Or you, and yours. If possible, full-screen the shit. Also, yes, Yoko's sunglasses in the first shot are ridiculous. They reappear once more, at the end. There's a reason for that.)
John Lennon and Yoko Ono found peace. It had been their obsession as long as the world had known them as "John & Yoko," but their early efforts at preaching the cause fell far short because their lives were a mess and their methods weren't sharp. A runaway campaign of neurotic politics led to their separation in 1973; they reunited backstage at an Elton John concert in 1974. (The reunion was facilitated by Elton, who contributed to Lennon's single "Whatever Gets You Through The Night" on the condition that stage-shy Lennon would join Elton onstage if their collaboration got to number one on the Billboard charts, a feat Lennon solo had never achieved. Their collaboration got to number one.)
The reunion led to dates, and to reconciliation, and to their son Sean, the product of seven years attempting pregnancy, a rich reward after a lengthy string of miscarriages. John had spent his time away from Yoko drunk in Los Angeles, partying with Ringo Starr, Harry Nilsson, and a coterie of addict friends; "I tried to drown myself in the bottle," he told Playboy some weeks before his death, "and I was with the heaviest drinkers in the business." (All quotes in this piece are taken from "the Playboy interview," an epochal conversation recorded weeks before Lennon's death that is a remarkable read, as well as legend amongst Beatle obsessives.)
A notorious hard-partier for the length of his life, Lennon saw the bottom and decided it wasn't for him. After Sean's arrival, he absented himself from the music industry and took to raising the boy while Yoko set about untangling her husband's considerable, complicated financial portfolio. "We learned that it's better for the family if we are both working for the family, she doing the business and me playing mother and wife," he explained to Playboy. "We reorganized our priorities." He would pop up from time to time, throwing the tabloids a quote, no doubt relishing the blast of fresh press reading the tabloids over breakfast. (John, like so many, was determined to become a Real New Yorker.) He learned to bake bread, and he learned how to live a life unburdened by expectation, devoted in his entirety to enriching his marriage and raising the son that marriage birthed. With his former bandmates turning out albums at a regular clip, observers and eager critics lamented that Lennon was wasting his talent, was squandering prodigious gifts.
John didn't turn the other cheek to the blowback; he ignored it. To declare that he "found happiness" in the final years of his life would be a banality at which the man himself would roll his eyes, cigarette smoke escaping the nostrils. But he was getting there. He took a step back and a very deep breath, and found a way to harness the madness that had both facilitated and restricted his genius. "Let's say in one way I was always hip," he told Playboy. "I was hip in kindergarten. I was different from the others. I was different all my life. The second verse [of "Strawberry Fields Forever"] goes 'no one I think is in my tree.' Well, I was too shy and self-doubting. Nobody seems to be as hip as me is what I'm saying. Therefore, I must be crazy or a genius."
He harnessed the craziness, and, of course, the genius found its way back to the forefront. After a long, tropical sail with Yoko, Sean and friends, John decided to give his lifelong passion another go. He went back to the studio, his wife a full collaborator, and recorded Double Fantasy. He got back the itch.
Playboy: Briefly, what about the statement on the new album?
John: Very briefly, it's about very ordinary things between two people. The lyrics are direct. Simple and straight. I went through my Dylanesque period a long time ago with songs like "I Am The Walrus:" the trick of never saying what you mean but giving the impression of something more. Where more or less can be read into it. It's a good game.
It is impossible to listen to Double Fantasy through a lens unshaded by Lennon's death. "(Just Like) Starting Over," the album's lead-off track and mission statement, was rejected by radio audiences until its author was gone. After, the song's charms began to reveal themselves, that "simple and straight" lyricism flying in the face of all the doubt so prevalent amongst Yoko-loathing Beatle fans. "It's been too long since we took the time," Lennon sings," "no one's to blame–oh, how time flies so quickly! …but when I see you, darlin', it's like we both are falling in love again…it'll be just like starting over."
All aspects of Fantasy derive from the themes of that lyric. A married couple, confident in their own and in each others' artistry, staring each other in the eye over a mic and releasing their deepest thoughts about the difficulties and rewards of their union. (Double Fantasy is constructed as a dialogue, with John contributing a song, followed by Yoko, followed by John, and so forth, with little variation.) It is not a perfect expression of that union, and all the deep breathing in the world will not get one through some of Yoko's more experimental tracks. Her explanation of "Kiss Kiss Kiss"–the B-side of "Starting Over," a catchy track derailed by a wannabe-erotic disaster of a finale, and the second song on Fantasy–is very much game and rather admirable, but it does not excuse the inevitable.
Yoko: On the other side of [the "Starting Over" single] is my song, "Kiss Kiss Kiss," which is the other side of the same question. There is the sound of a woman coming to a climax on it, and she is crying out to be held, to be touched. It will be controversial, because people still feel it's less natural to hear the sounds of a woman's lovemaking than, say, the sound of a Concorde, killing the atmosphere and polluting nature. Altogether, both sides are a prayer to change the Eighties.
There is the usual eye-rolling to be had here, and not without reason. ("A prayer to change the Eighties?") But her sentiments are strong, and adult. Ono for too long foregrounded sexuality in her work, when she was too young and too eager to shock. (The "short film" of John's penis slowly growing erect comes to mind.) The family time did her just as good, though, and her contributions to Fantasy are every bit as brave as those of her husband. Of course they aren't that pleasant to hear, even to the devoted fan. Being a fan of the Beatles and a fan of Yoko Ono are somewhat mutually exclusive–not because of the history, but because of the songcraft. Those who canonize "In My Life" aren't likely to take much pleasure from Yoko screeching "Don't put your finger in my pie," but the lyrical slip doesn't change the fact that "I'm Moving On" is one of the best songs on the album. Plus, it's the back-end of Fantasy's most ambitious conceit, as John's spectacular, preceding "I'm Losing You" leads directly into "Moving On," not a crossfade, but a continuous studio performance. The effect is inescapable; they're the rawest tracks on the record. They sound like Plastic Ono Band.
But they're not the point. Fantasy, like all great things, reveals its pleasures over time, and, with the conclusion of "Losing You/Moving On," shifts all of its focus to the pleasures of love, of flesh, and of child. On vinyl, "I'm Moving On" was the penultimate track of side A, and a good time for any listener to take a moment. The next song, however, unfolds right away, and it breaks the heart.
(See above rules. Seriously, what's the point of reading all this if you don't know the music?)
In Sean, John found his focus. He had fathered a son, Julian, by his first wife and "first girlfriend" Cynthia Powell, far too young for either parent to manage. ("Cyn" is the forgotten bootheel of John Lennon's life. She is, by all estimates, a wonderful, fragile woman who happened to conceive a child by the founder of The Beatles before The Beatles had recorded their first single.) John's connection with Julian was a work-in-progress–"It's not the best relationship between father and son," he admitted, "but it is there"–but his devotion to Sean was indisputable. It is not often that rock legends, with all the ego that status demands, take half-decades off to raise a single child. Most of them leave children littered like empties across the road map of a tour. John, finally, after tremendous effort (borne of obvious reasons: he had an unplanned son that he knew he'd fucked up, sired with a woman he never had any intention of loving) had created a child, the right way this time.. He loved it.
John: Well, sometimes, you know, she'd come home and say, "I'm tired." I'd say, only partly tongue in cheek,
"What the fuck do you think I am? I'm 24 hours with the baby! Do you think that's easy?" I'd say, "You're going to take some more interest in the child." I don't care whether it's a father or a mother. When I'm going on about pimples and bones and which TV shows to let him watch, I would say, "Listen, this is important. I don't want to hear about your $20,000,000 deal tonight!" [To Yoko] I would like both parents to take care of the children, but how is a different matter.
"Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy) is the distillation of that love. It is a magnificent song, one of Lennon's finest. As with any of the great tracks on Double Fantasy, there are aspects of production that scrape the chalkboard. It's a little slick, it's got those heavy synths. It doesn't matter.
And, as is befitting the album, Yoko contributes a response song to her husband's number (her response is titled "Beautiful Boys," in case we couldn't figure out the connection for ourselves), but it bears the misfortune of being downright terrible. The lesser aspects of Fantasy, though, are not Yoko's sole burden to shoulder. John's "Cleanup Time" is a lazy return to the style he'd adopted in L.A., all crack musicianship and desperate faux-fun; "Woman," however heralded by whomever, is a more upbeat, far less listenable version of "Jealous Guy," released nine years earlier on Imagine, along with "Oh Yoko!", one of Lennon's best, that on Double Fantasy is rewritten as "Dear Yoko." "Dear Yoko" is good, but come on.
That's the point, though. Having found himself–another phrase at which no doubt Lennon would retch–he decided it was time to find his footing. He exuded no shame about the manner in which he'd conducted his life, even if it alienated those fans who felt owed further slices of his genius, those who'd exuded a kind of fascistic hostility toward the woman with whom he'd chosen to spent that life.
Playboy: How do you feel about all the negative press that's been directed through the years at Yoko, your "dragon lady," as you put it?
John: We are both sensitive people and we were hurt a lot by it. I mean, we couldn't understand it. When you're in love, when somebody says something like, "How can you be with that woman?" you say, "What do you mean? I am with this goddess of love, the fulfillment of my whole life. Why are you saying this? Why do you want to throw a rock at her or punish me for being in love with her?" Our love helped us survive it, but some of it was pretty violent. There were a few times when we nearly went under, but we managed to survive and here we are. [Looks upward] Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Playboy: But what about the charge that John Lennon is under Yoko's spell, under her control?
John: Well, that's rubbish, you know. Nobody controls me. I'm uncontrollable. The only one who controls me is me, and that's just barely possible.
Playboy: Still, many people believe it.
John: Listen, if somebody's gonna impress me, whether it be a Maharishi or a Yoko Ono, there comes a point when the emperor has no clothes. There comes a point when I will see. So for all you folks out there who think that I'm having the wool pulled over my eyes, well, that's an insult to me. Not that you think less of Yoko, because that's your problem. What I think of her is what counts! Because — fuck you, brother and sister — you don't know what's happening. I'm not here for you. I'm here for me and her and the baby!
Yoko: Of course, it's a total insult to me—-
John: Well, you're always insulted, my dear wife. It's natural.
For a long time, Lennon understandably was enraged by the rage his wife inspired, and baffled by it, too. Lots of things enraged him. He was a volatile man, and remained so, knowingly, 'til his death. ("Now I may be very positive–yes, yes–but I also go through deep depressions where I would like to jump out the window, you know. It becomes easier to deal with as I get older; I don't know whether you learn control or, when you grow up, you calm down a little.") In some fashion, he came to accept it. He plodded toward contentment, best he could navigate, working on himself and the relationships that mattered most to him, and taking time for himself ("I had been under obligation or contract from the time I was 22 until well into my 30s") for the first time in what had been, however much money and adulation it evoked, a hard life. The hardness never soured his humor, however, and the best song on Double Fantasy is more heartbreaking even than "Beautiful Boy." Its lyrics suggest a man content with himself. Its music suggests a man ready to take back the stage.
It could've been brilliant. For what it was, it was.
Playboy: You disagree with Neil Young's lyric in "Rust Never Sleeps–"It's better to burn out than to fade away…"
John: I hate it. It's better to fade away like an old soldier than to burn out. I don't appreciate worship of dead Sid Vicious or of dead James Dean or of dead John Wayne. It's the same thing. Making Sid Vicious a hero, Jim Morrison–it's garbage to me. I worship the people who survive. Gloria Swanson, Greta Garbo. They're saying John Wayne conquered cancer–he whipped it like a man. You know, I'm sorry that he died and all that–I'm sorry for his family–but he didn't whip cancer. It whipped him. I don't want Sean worshiping John Wayne or Sid Vicious. What do they teach you? Nothing. Death. Sid Vicious died for what? So that we might rock? I mean, it's garbage, you know. If Neil Young admires that sentiment so much, why doesn't he do it? Because he sure as hell faded away and came back many times, like all of us. No, thank you. I'll take the living and the healthy.
See above.
DUDS and/or DISASTERS
See above.
Yoko's material throughout Double Fantasy is a revelation, duds and all, but perhaps her finest contribution is "Yes, I'm Your Angel." A Lennon collaborator indulging in some heart-on-sleeve old-timey music-hall croonery? Not a familiar phenomenon, not at all.
Vast. As ever, The Solo Project recommends shelling out chump change for the mp3s, finding a copy of the album on vinyl (less recommended this time around, as John released only a handful of solo records and they are all rare and expensive, even if used), or…well, finding your own Googly methods.
Paul released McCartney II in May of 1980. Its lead single, "Coming Up," was first released as a live recording by Wings. John: "I haven't seen any of the Beatles for I don't know how much time. Somebody asked me what I thought of Paul's last album and I made some remark like, I thought he was depressed and sad. But then I realized I hadn't listened to the whole damn thing. I heard one track–the hit "Coming Up," which I thought was a good piece of work. Then I heard something else that sounded like he was depressed. But I don't follow their work. I don't follow Wings, you know. I don't give a shit what Wings is doing, or what George's new album is doing, or what Ringo is doing. I'm not interested, no more than I am in what Elton John or Bob Dylan is doing. It's not callousness, it's just that I'm too busy living my own life to be following what other people are doing, whether they're the Beatles or guys I went to college with or people I had intense relationships with before I met the Beatles."
George was between albums in 1980, having released George Harrison in 1979 and having yet to record Somewhere In England, released in 1981 and including one of the best Beatle songs about John's death, "All Those Years Ago."
Ringo worked on an album, Stop And Smell The Roses, that was originally to include a song by John, entitled "Life Begins At 40."
A scan of New York City FM radio, recorded the evening of December 8, 1980.
Monday, July 18th: George Harrison's Cloud Nine.


text: Stop Saying That A scratch or crack in a vinyl record can cause a phonograph needle to jump backward, replaying the same bit of music over and over until life as we know it ceases to exist. Or so I remember.At some point in the 1940s, the phrase "like a broken record" became common, meaning something that repeats uselessly, redundantly, annoyingly. I have no idea why it's not "like a scratched record," but that's not really the point.The point is, I've said many times over the past couple of years, in various forums, that I don't care for social media. I think it's deadly, toxic, and possibly the worst single change in our culture in my lifetime, releasing the Id Monster in all of us, ungoverned emotional outbursts that reflect something, maybe something truthful and maybe not.But I also know that climate change is real, and that we'd go a long way toward mitigating this far worse change if we all stopped eating beef. And every once in a while, I really want a cheeseburger.So a couple of times a day I check my now-limited Facebook feed, and slightly more often I'll look at Twitter, which is easier to curate and to skim. I feel my hypocrisy every day, then.And what I saw yesterday on social media bothered me.Not the news, although that put me into a funk, like everyone else. Not even the sniping back and forth about guns and rights and lack of laws. These always feel like odd abstractions, like alternate histories, trying to imagine What If when we have blood in the streets. I have no optimism but the discussion is good, and I'm not interested in the usual "not at this time" crap. We have one mass shooting in this country pretty much every single day. There is no right time. There is always a time.And I'm not talking about the need to vent, to express, to suffer out loud with our personal reactions. Normal, human reactions. We get a small comfort, sometimes, by just saying it in public, to our friends and family. I get that.I also get the anger toward hypocritical leaders, the ones who consistently reject any talk whatsoever about laws that might prevent, in an abstract sense (again), the carnage that we saw. I completely get that anger, when one of our representatives tweets "Thoughts and prayers go out to ______" while jingling their pocket change that comes out of the coffers of the only accredited terrorist organization in the U.S. I'm right there.But I saw at least three Facebook posts from different people, and too-many-to-count tweets, that not only didn't distinguish their targets, but implicitly expanded them. These people railed against anyone who uses the phrase thoughts and prayers. If you're part of the landscape, I assume you've seen some of this also.I don't know why people pray. I pray, sometimes, sometimes often. I always have, since I was a child, even in my sturdiest atheist periods. Dunno. Weird. Still.I don't really believe people think that praying gives them superpowers, lightning bolts or spider webs shooting out of their extremities toward violence and suffering. Maybe those people who squeeze their eyes so tight on TV, but I don't know anyone personally.And I've always been skeptical and suspicious about intercessory prayer, anyway. The vast majority of the universe is a mystery to us, even with our increasing knowledge. Most of reality is made up of matter and energy we can only infer. Inferring a connection to all of this has never seemed a stretch, but the devil is always in the details of causation and correlation.But I'm praying for the victims of this horrible crime? Really? You want to trash these people for feeling helpless because they ARE helpless, with no way to change anything other than doing what they do anyway, vote and write and so on? You want to challenge folks who say I'm sorry for your loss because, y'know, it won't resurrect the loved one?I know. These outbursts of outrage over semantics, really, come out of a frustrated place. I know.But attacking some lady in Des Moines because she posts I'm praying because you think that's an ineffectual thing to do doesn't make you right. It makes you an asshole.

Life at Boomer Lake with Deb, Thursday June 5, 2014
Field Notes
What is Happening to Puffin Chicks?
Puffin chicks have been dying on the Maine breeding islands, and it seems like problems like this are only beginning. Climate change/global warming is very serious. Unless we get to the bottom of it, and do it quickly, we could be losing more birds.
A New Bird Fossil
Here is the earliest found bird pollinator to date according to a fossil. This tiny bird was smaller than a hummingbird.
- Earliest Bird Pollinator Found in Germany
A tiny bird from 47 million years ago is the first known pollinator.
Another Score For the Intelligence of Birds
These Canadian Barn Swallows are intelligent birds, for they know how to trigger the doors on a bike locker in order to be able to get to their nests. I think that 'bird-brained' is going to mean very intelligent instead of not very bright. This is better than random movement.
- Smart Birds Open Doors - YouTube
Birds nesting in an underground parkade could have been locked in when the parkade was converted to a campus bike centre with doors on the end. The swallows ...
Fledglings, Welcome the Rain, and Global Warming
Fledglings are everywhere, and to be honest, it is about time. That is the best way to know that spring is in the air. Fecal sacs are being transported elsewhere. Bugs and/or insects are on the way to a nest site. Tiny calls are heard while parents are being run ragged. Now is a very critical time for birds, and they truly appreciate your help with providing them extra seed in the feeder. They are burning excess calories trying to feed those young ones, who are constantly hungry. Thanks for everything that you do in order to assist in the survival of the birds.
Rain has come to the area several times, and it was a welcome addition. Water attracts birds, butterflies, and other animals. It is actually more important than food, as it hydrates and is the giver of life. Birds plant seeds and pollinate just like any creature of the forest, and that was and is how they continue to survive perpetually. Nature is symbiotic, for without one element, the rest of them have to compete to try to seal up that hole in the bucket.
When excess carbon dioxide is added to the mix of a balanced nature, it causes the balance to run amuck. Ozone is also added to the air, and global warming creates its own problems, causing animals to lose touch with their body clocks. They go to places that they have never been, in order to seek food and water. Is it simply survival of the fittest? No, it is just survival and the attempt at adaptation. Sometimes it is impossible to restore the balance, at least in our lifetimes.
Brown Thrashers
There are three Brown Thrasher pairs that have nestlings. Both parents are trying so hard to keep those hungry little ones fed. However, there is hope on the horizon. The older they get, the less feedings are required. It is true that they eat more, but they require less initial calories, as they are not growing as quickly as they first were. Young birds have a rapid growth spurt, which tends to slow as they are closer to full development.
The American Lady
The American Lady appeared this week, the first time that I have met this butterfly. This is a common variety. They frequent gardens and open areas, flying rather close to the ground. Don't let that fool you, as they are actually quite rapid in movement. I'm not sure how I got lucky enough to get a good shot of one, but I'm not complaining.
Marsh Rat
The marsh rat has been appearing quite frequently in the early mornings while feeding on weeds and grasses. It is food for owls, hawks, and Great Blue Herons. Great Blue Heron prefers fish to the rat, but out of desperation, I have seen it eat these rodents.
Great Blue Heron and Great Egret
Several of the Great Blue Herons and Great Egrets have abandoned the rookery area and come to the main part of the lake where the fishing is best. Great Blue Heron is much more social than Great Egret. Green Herons are also here on the lake, but they have been also rather skittish. As the season progresses, they will all come around more and feel less bothered by human foot traffic.
Scissor-tailed Flycatcher
The Scissor-tailed Flycatchers are very plentiful now. They can be seen performing aerial courtship acrobatics and displaying for one another. The male will initiate flying into the air about a hundred feet, then will show his expertise on aerial maneuvers for the female. It is possible to tell the two apart, as the male has beautiful salmon pink and reddish wing linings, while the female is much paler in this area. The adult male also has a longer tail.
Turtle Populations
Turtles are very plentiful, many of which are in the quieter Southern Cove. We have painted and red eared sliders that frequent that area. There are also snapping turtles in the main portion of the lake, and an occasional box turtle will be seen on land.
Eastern Cottontail
You cannot miss the Eastern Cottontail, who is all over the area, primarily nearest the water. There are also a number of young ones, who will provide entertainment by running all over at a rapid pace. If there are two of them playing, there will be even more enjoyment watching them interact.
Northern Reaches
For those of you that prefer birding off the beaten path, the Northern Reaches host a number of songbirds that prefer to stay in the woods. There are Ruby-crowned Kinglets, White-breasted Nuthatches, the Swainson's Thrush, Eastern Phoebe, Red-eyed Vireo, and an assortment of woodpeckers. It is a wonderful area for a nice picnic lunch and to commune with nature, but please don't leave your trash there.

I voted for you as best photographer in the hubbie awards! Hope you win! I really hope the struggling species can be helped :(
Enjoyed the photos as always. True that water attracts birds, I was so thrilled to see a feathered visitor checking out my fountain outside. :) But flew away before I could take a photo.
Oh I love the little Puffin stuff and of course the heron is my all time favorite. I am getting a lot of grey doves and these things my husband calls turkeys but they are not and they are not buzzards, something in between and really loud.
Marvelous scissor tail. You must have the patience of Job to get these shots. And no I don't believe any of that bird-brained stuff either. Animals are much more intelligent than we give them credit for and we just call them stupid to justify killing them. Great hub!
I'm with what Bill said above: climate change is very real and very scary. I only hope humanity can get its head together before it's too late. Wonderful photos and commentary. I also saw this article over in an online magazine (you shared it on FB, I think). Anyway, wonderful job and it's good to see you!
You are welcome Deb.
Thanks for yet another interesting, informative and enjoyable Boomer Lake report, Deb. As always, I love the fact that you include important bird news from other parts of the world.
pumilio (Latin) 'dwarf'; ornis (Greek) 'bird'; tessellatus (Latin); 'mosaic'
So going by other birds names, I would figure that they called it the 'mosaic dwarf bird', but I can not be positive about that part.
Another amazing Hub Deb. I was really interested in that fossil bird and I investigated some more, do you know what its (Latin translated) full meaning is?
Everything else was also useful and delightful to read and the photos were pleasurable to look at. I voted it up and shared it.
Nice one again, learnt a lot of facts about these birds. You provide wealth of information about the birds, which all of us must know.
Thanks for sharing!
Glad to see you are working with my "home state of Maine." We are working with them here in Utah, too, based on our "Best State For Business" rating which has brought their business representatives from private business and state government here to see what they can do to improve their rating which is currently the lowest of the 50 states!
Thanks for your continued production of quality Hubs here on HP. Well done....again.
Global warming is a serious problem for wildlife and especially migratory birds. here in the UK many birds are either breeding earlier or losing out. As you know the birds time their chicks to arrive in time for the glut of caterpillars. However, the caterpillars in many parts of the country are hatching two to three weeks earlier than they did and the birds are missing out by nesting at their usual time.
Deb there is something you may find interesting on my site about drones being used to monitor wild birds. Content banner Conservation issues 2014.
Enjoyed the visit again always good to read about birds on your side of the water.
Interesting work and nice pics, my friend. whonu
Beautiful pictures. But we have spoiled the earth.
I am back after very busy days in the office. The regulatory changes are not letting us compliance people take any respite.
It seems whatever you are observing down in OK is happening here too - early and mid spring wildflowers, baby birds, mosquitoes that turned me into fodder last Sunday, so on and so forth.
After reading your hub, I just emptied my freezer and hanged all suet cases out on the trees for mama and papa birds to feed on haha.
An enjoyable read, Deb. Lots of variety--both serious & lighthearted. I'll put extra seed out. (: Have a good one! --Jill
I hope the puffins do survive, I have been watching something called Spring Watch over here in England, its on every night, and they were talking about how global warming was messing with 'timing' of the animals and birds, the insects are coming out earlier, the birds are late or too early with the babies and so on, I am sure they will adapt but its not nice for some of the species, great work as always Deb, nell
It is beyond me how some people can argue against the effects of climate change and warming. Let's hope the Puffins find a way to survive the damage we have done to their habitat. Well done as always, Deb.

So it has come to my attention that I have MAJORLY been slacking on the blog posting.
Trying to get into a new routine now that i'm back to work has been tough. I am SO tired, haha. It seems like there aren't enough hours in a day anymore. While I am enjoying being back at work (adult conversation & a pay check!) I miss Korah & Leighton lots, lots lots.
On the makeup front, I am hoping to do a new tutorial as early as this evening. I just never have the time to do them anymore. :( I promise I will do one SOON. I did a pretty/simple look today that I may do a tutorial for later on (using white, brown, & grey). I'm thinking another Summer Collection look is in order though :)
So, what have I been up to lately, one might ask? Well - working! Haha. Asides from working i've been spending as much time as possible with my little girls. We brought them to the midway last night (by WE I mean my two best friends & I) & the kids had a ball! Korah loved the rides; I think she'll be a ride buff like her Mommy when she grows up! One of my best friends got ENGAGED!!! I'm so happy & excited for her! Everything wedding makes me happy, especially when it's one of my best friends! And I'M GOING TO BE A BRIDESMAID! Haha, she's going to get so sick of hearing that. Another best friend of mine had a baby [girl] a couple of weeks ago! I get to meet her next weekend & I am SO excited!
Leighton's first Birthday has come & gone. A week after she turned 1 she started walking! Now she's [running] everywhere! She definitely keeps us busy. Korah amazes me each & every day with the things she does/says. We have two little smart cookies on our hands!
Speaking of next weekend (when we get to meet Railyn for the first time <3) we are heading to Vaughan for a wedding. It's my husband's cousin's wedding & we're both really excited to see family & enjoy a weekend to ourselves. My husband helped me pick out an awesome dress to wear to the wedding (photos to follow the wedding) so I look forward to getting all dolled up & dancing the night away :D We plan to go to Wonderland on Sunday (depending on how we feel after the previous nights festivities, haha). I haven't been to Wonderland in 4 years! I am so excited :D
So there's a little life update, what i've been up to lately. I will try my hardest to get a tutorial done tonight & to keep ontop of the blogging! :P
Until next time...

Canada is a country well-known for its iconic maple trees, Horseshow Falls, the Great Lakes, and other marvels of nature, and Ontario is its largest province. If you've been meaning to visit Ontario, make sure that you have an itinerary that allows you to taste the area's food while visiting all of the landmarks.
One of the best things about traveling is the food you get to eat. From tasty snacks to exquisite treats, there's so much to excite your taste buds with throughout Ontario. Try some of the best dishes that Ontario offers the next time you visit!
Pig Tails
If you're looking for some delicious dishes, you should head on over to Waterloo. Here you'll be offered a lot of meat to eat. From sausages to cooked cheese and even sour cream-based dishes, there's a vast range of delicacies to choose from. Local produce is used for preparing each dish.
Restaurants in the region include the Charcoal Steakhouse, which is more than 60 years old and offers pig tails as a specialty. Upon ordering, you'll be served pig tails cooked in apple marmalade and brown sugar sweet sauce served with Sichuan calamari and East Coast oysters. Other restaurants that serve pig tails include The Blue Moon and Kennedy's Roadhouse. Try visiting them all if you have time.
Italian Pizza
While pizza is considered an Italian thing by many, that doesn't mean you can't have a mouthwatering slice in Ontario. Visit A1 Autostrada; it's a restaurant, a bar, and a pizzeria! It's also known for serving the best Italian cuisine in Vaughan. From excellent Canadian pasta to pizza rolls, you'll have so much tasty fun going through the menu.
Visiting A1 Autostrada is highly recommended if you're in Vaughan. This city also has Canada's Wonderland, Vaughan Mills, and the Black Creek Pioneer Village. Book a hotel in Vaughan that's near to the restaurants and places you want to visit in the city, and you'll be all set to have a good time.
If you want to taste something a bit more iconic, how about trying BeaverTails? Don't worry — there aren't actual beaver tails in these pastries, which are also known as Queues de Castor. This treat can be described as a whole wheat pastry that resembles the tail of a beaver, hence the name. The pastry is placed in a deep fryer containing canola oil, then topped and served very hot! Topping options include maple bacon, cinnamon and sugar, chocolate hazelnut spread, and more. You'll find outlets selling BeaverTails (which is also the name of the bakery) all over Ontario.
Peameal Bacon
There's a lot of meat to be had in Ontario! Another dish you can try in Toronto (historically nicknamed "Hogtown") is the peameal bacon. As the name implies, it's bacon which has been rolled in peameal. You should definitely consider heading to the Carousel Bakery, located in the St. Lawrence Market, to pick up a classically prepared peameal bacon sandwich. Your taste buds won't regret it!
The next time you're heading to Ontario, Canada don't miss out on the delicious dishes you have to try. You might even end up bringing some home too.

Horoscope for May 2016 for LibraMay will be held for Libra to find ways of establishing rapport with others in order to strengthen your authority at home and at work. If Libra will win over as many supporters, then throughout May Libra will bask in the admiration of others and successfully implement their plans in life with the help of friends and acquaintances. This month, you'll be given relatively easily, as if by magic. But this does not mean that you can afford to sit back and decide that this will now always. So if you want good luck has not left you in the future is already beginning to do something for their future success! For example, read useful literature on which you plan to do in the near future. The more your luggage will be accumulated knowledge, the easier you will find suitable ways and means to implement your plan. Not for nothing is said: hard to learn - easy in battle!
If this month Libra has set a goal to win someone's location, make sure you can do it.

If you suddenly in May quarrel with your partner, do not worry and do not get excited and try to establish a rapport with the help of lost constructive conversation. Discreetly and quietly whooper partner in what he was wrong and what behavior you are waiting for him is and your reasonable arguments necessarily convince him of your righteous! Lonely Libra in May the romantic meeting with someone who once could severely hurt their heart. But do not rush to resume interrupted relationship before you are sure that you really need.
In May Libra expects a lot of boring and tedious work that is required to be completed on time. Even if you suddenly will attack lazy, do not wait for the tide of enthusiasm, and start work quickly. The sooner you start to do your job, the sooner it is over and that you will be able to do some more interesting things. Besides, your boss would look favorably on your diligence and make you at least a small but pleasant encouragement. At the end of May, some Libras can suddenly worsen relations with colleagues because of conflict of interest or control ego. Try no one to cross the road, but the dish your self-interests, and remember that a bad peace is better than a good quarrel! If you are going on a business trip, be prepared for the fact that in the way you can expect romantic adventure. But before giving vent to feelings, consider this: Is it not hurt your reputation.

A high-quality and robust roof does not only provide shelter to building occupants, but it also protects other structures of the building such as walls and coating from damage by vagaries of weather. Therefore, as you construct your property, your attention must be drawn to the roof section if you want your building to stand the test of time. Choosing a commercial roofing company in Bedford is a hectic undertaking for most people since numerous companies are offering to do the job. With many roofing companies available in Bedford, picking one might be cumbersome if you do not know the right considerations to make. Looking at some of the following things might guide your choice of the right company.
Where does the roofing company operate? It is advisable to choose a local Johnstown pole building company instead of the foreign companies. Local companies based in Bedford target the residents for business, and thus, they will perform an excellent job to recommendations for more jobs. Therefore, it is advisable to choose a locally based roofing company as it will be easy to coordinate and complete the work in time to allow you to commence business.
What is the area of specialty of the roofing company? Specialized roofing companies only deal with particular types of roof such as tiles, metals or shingles. A general roofing company installs any roof. Choose a specialized roofing company that installs the type of roof that you want because they have a lot of knowledge about the particular roof. In addition to specialization, it must show proof of the past work that it has done and provide contacts of past clients for reference.
Find a reputable roofing company. A license is a proof that the roofing company services are recognized and certified by relevant authorities, and thus, you can rely on them for best quality roofing. Therefore, to avoid the trap of quacks, insist on seeing their licenses and other credentials that prove their qualification for the job. Additionally, an insurance policy cover is crucial because roofing is a perilous undertaking which might cause damage to valuable properties and injuries. Therefore, insurance is mandatory for any roofing company that would like to work for you.
Consider the cost of service. The best roofing company should give high-quality service at an affordable fee. It is an essential factor but in some cases, people are misled by low prices, and they settle for poor quality roofing companies. This is important to cover for any hitches that might occur during the period, and the company should do the repairs without any extra charges. Unscrupulous roofing companies lure clients with low prices and thus, do not solely rely on low prices when choosing a commercial roofing company at https://metalplusconstructionllc.com/.

First, I am new to DNN. As Superuser on a v7.3.3 DNN install I created a new test user 'jdoe', assigned it the 'registered user' role and approved it since I don't have email confirmation set up for the site. Next I confirmed each site page was configured to allow anyone with a 'registered user' role to view content. When I log in with the new account I get the message "Either you are not currently logged in, or you do not have access to this content.' The account is clearly logged in so I assume issue is somewhere in the user or page permissions, though I cannot find anything in documentation that would lead me to believe I missed something in the account setup. Here are some screen shots of various permission configurations.

For those who embraced a Cause, believing it as if life and future hinge on it, must also adhere to the consequence of fighting, even dying for it. Succeeding in the projection of a Cause means being recognized and eventually lionized; failing means being ignored as a consequence or by passed if not exterminated as nuisance.
Activism for the principled is a way of life, a higher form of advocacy, a spiritual force that engages one to challenge an obstacle, whether it be a system or a party, an established order or a philosophical construct. It is a game of power and game changer. It is a competition to win hearts and minds. It is pitting endurance, relevance and devotion against another. It could also mean betting everything to prevail and claim as a kind of frontrunner who eventually assumes the winner-takes-all proposition. The stakes are high and higher still are the threats and obstacles. As the saying goes, "no pain, no gain; no thorn, no crown.." One must hurdle through and gamble if necessary just to overcome overwhelming odds to be heard. And once heard, to dodge every ammunition hurled by the affected party. And it is not a joke to get into this kind of condition.
Activists know they are fair game in any given situation. They either end up as incident or if fate would have it, as an event. They live not in the physical comfort of an ideal but in a spiritual realm that requires every painful sacrifice conducted through the regime of struggling. For them, a cause is an adventure of a lifetime. Its every phase is defined in terms of heroic appreciation. Their lives are secondary if not basically an adjunct of a mission. They are simply consumed by their zest, their excitement on the realization of their cause.
To carry the banner of their cause even if it would mean staying in the mountain lair of their group, or in some remote clinics nursing wounds or sickness brought about by engagements with opposing troops, or in some hidden crevices in a relative's or friendly dwelling in the urban or countryside, anything just to maintain the purity of purpose, anything just to sustain the belief, anything just to placate ideological idealism. That is their lifestyle. And it is an extraordinary lifestyle. One day a vagabond, another as fugitive.
It is never a picnic or a whim. And while there are others who try to project a cause through braggadocio, when the winds of brutal reaction whip them on their faces, they just grimace and run with their tails behind. The cost is never cheap. It is never even worthy of one's estimation if the person is highly skilled or whose intelligence is almost at par with that of a genius. But it seems that the higher the intelligence, the higher the vulnerabilities to embrace a cause is almost a curse attached to their sentiments.
Activists have a profound understanding of their environment and they know fully well the consequence of their stand. To benefit from their cause is farthest from their minds and persuasion. They are fully appraised that those consumed by the fires of revolution are always its children. Only a handful would succeed in this highly dangerous course, in this very sensitive line of a vocation.
But for the genuine activists, this is the only road to happiness.

Celebrities who took part in a live performance to raise money for charity were reportedly paid £10,000, but raised only £4,000 for the cause.
Eight female stars took to the stage to perform the Real Full Monty on ITV to raise breast cancer awareness.
Megan McKenna, Coleen Nolan, Victoria Derbyshire et al stripped off 'in the name of charity' but despite their big pay packets, the one-off show raised just £4,000.
Here's a clip of their routine:
[ooyala player_id="5df2ff5a35d24237905833bd032cd5d8″ width="undefined" height="undefined" pcode="twa2oyOnjiGwU8-cvdRQbrVTiR2l" code="5lODJ1ZTE6qMvtzq0GlIeleckJzrduXl"]
A TV source reportedly told the Sun:
Viewers were made to think The Real Full Monty: Ladies Night was all about raising awareness and funds for breast cancer.
While it did raise huge awareness and encourage viewers to check their bodies a host of the stars took a massive payday in the name of charity. It's pretty appalling that this wasn't made clear to viewers.
Fans will be furious that they pocketed such huge sums.
Some viewers shared their opinion on the whole thing on Twitter, suggesting the celebrities shouldn't have taken any fee for the charity show.
One wrote:
I thought this was for charity? Why have they taken a fee? They should all be made to donate their £10,000!

Very few celebs do something for nothing quite sad really, it's always the people with very little that give there last penny ?

Sorry they shouldn't of been paid…..should of done it for free …. sorry but it's charity at the end of the day…. makes me mad!!!

Just remember people when there collecting money for charity THE REAL FULL MONTY LADIES NIGHT raised £4000 then the eight ladies involved take £10,000 each so the charity makes minus £76,000 what a fantastic gesture by all the ladies involved
— raymond bird (@raymondbird1) April 12, 2018
Coleen Nolan – of Loose Women fame – was joined on stage by Victoria Derbyshire and former pop star Michelle Heaton, who had both had mastectomies and were fearful of showing their scars in public.
Ahead of the show, Victoria, who publicly battled breast cancer, said:
This process has made me really happy. I've had such a good time. Tonight there might be someone watching who learns something about breast cancer they didn't know before and it might save their life. And that is massive.
Nolan lost a sister, Bernie, to cancer and her sister Linda revealed she's terminally ill with cancer after spending years with the all clear.
Hey @NolanColeen Bernie would be SO proud of you ❤❤❤
Well done you, and well done to all your ladies tonight. Magnificent. #TheRealFullMonty @Megan_Mckenna_ @vicderbyshire @SallyDexterUK @HelenLederer @DJSarahJane @wonderwomanshel @ruth_madoc@AshleyBanjo pic.twitter.com/5JZN0hcUJc
— ITV (@ITV) March 29, 2018
Emmerdale's Sally Dexter and Hi-De-Hi's Ruth Madoc also took to the stage, after sharing their concerns about body image with the viewing public throughout the series, Real Full Monty Live: Ladies Night.
ITV's stalwart reality TV show, The Only Way Is Essex, got a look in thanks to Megan McKenna, who came to prominence after appearing on Ex On The Beach.
DJ and presenter Sarah-Jane Crawford was among the eight who went on various excursions, including one to the Moulin Rouge in Paris, to try on the perfect outfit and gain confidence in their sex appeal.
Helen Lederer – who played Catriona in Ab Fab back in the nineties – was also a part of the series, which was inspired by televised efforts to raise awareness for male cancers in 2017.
You can watch the men's efforts below:

TOWIE's James 'Arg' Argent, EastEnders actor John Partridge, The Wanted singer Tom Parker, former footballer John Hartson, chef Ainsley Harriot, TV presenters Jeff Brazier and Dominic Littlewood, former rugby international Ugo Monye, Pointless host Alexander Armstrong and Diversity dancer Ashley Banjo all took part.

Layered sunrise
This is part of a sequence, taken as the sunlight, a few minutes after dawn, tracked down the mountain. At this point, the light has just reached the base of the glowing red line in the centre.
If anyone viewing this can tell me what these birds are, I'd appreciate it..... All I know is that they're not flamingoes, and that managing to photograph an altiplanic lake wihout flamingoes is quite an achievement! ;-)

An Angel Tease
Hannah is a natural born foster Mom. You'll get to see her delicate touch in the videos. Miss Abigail is sleek and content and just as lovable as ever! The kittens are frisky and bold as brass. Guess that's what comes from feeling safe and loved.
I've got loads of video clips and pics so I'll be feeding them to you over the next week or so. Here's the first... I could barely speak at the end, I was laughing so hard!
Major Covet
Look what Monica found at a sidewalk sale outside of a pet store. It was marked down to $75, and our sharp gal snagged it with an offer of $60. Whoa! For those times when you need to keep a cat (or cats) confined, is this awesome or what?
Quick Gus Update
Our boy is doing fine. Today being Sunday, he got lots of snuggles, off and on, all day. Gus is such a hugger and he likes to be held... not just in your lap, in your arms! Burrowing his face under the chin is a favorite maneuver. And, now, at 2.5 days, my chin is getting a little sensitive from all the baths. I shall persevere, however! ;-)
It is getting tough to keep him still. When I'm at the computer, he wants to come up near me. I tried pulling a chair next to me, but that only satisfied him for about 15 min. The he wanted to be on the desk and then he wanted to climb on me. It's also very hard to get good pics of him. He seems to view pointing the camera in his direction as an invitation to play. *sigh* Keep your fingers crossed, tomorrow we hook up with the surgeon and find out what our next steps are going to be!

oh those Angels! and I love how you tried to get the kitten to shake her head "no". You almost succeeded!ReplyDelete
Gus, you are a handsome boy. I send virtual hugs to you!
oh the babies..I am now incapeable of forming sentences other than awwww,,,bebe wooby wooby wooo'sReplyDelete
p.s......lotsa lubs to Gus ...ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 31, 2009 at 2:32 PM
LOL @ the video--I told you those kittens were a mix of Ceiling Cat and Basement Cat! (Oh, and the tiny yawn has killed me ded, by the way. ::thunk:: )ReplyDelete
That is quite an impressive "kitty apartment." And it was on sale--can't beat a deal like that!
And I would be more than happy to come snuggle Gus for you for a while, and bear the burden of an overabundance of kitty-kisses, if only I were not about 1500 miles away. Sigh. Hope his appointment with the surgeon went well today, and they can get his poor leg all fixed up very soon!
- AnonymousAugust 31, 2009 at 4:12 PM
MOL at that video! That is THE cutest ball of fluff EVER!!!ReplyDelete
Awwwww, that video is just too silly and adorable for words.ReplyDelete
Even though I was there for the whole filming of the Angels and witnessed the heading nodding it's even funnier on video....and Lisa you know anytime you need the cat "crate" you just come on up a borrow it because as you see the Angels are not confined to it. I have to say we had the BEST time with Lisa on Saturday. She is just wonderful!!!!ReplyDelete

The New Zealand Walks for Wimps series provides essential information about short, relatively easy hikes around New Zealand. Today I take a quick jaunt to Tunnel Beach in Dunedin. Click on the map markers and links on the right for more great easy NZ walks!
Nearest town: Dunedin, Otago
Type of track: there and back
Official distance: 2km return
Official time: 1 hour return
Jenny's time: about 1 hour
Toilets: no
Tips: Aim for low tide, or at least not right at high tide, or you might find that there's not much beach to walk on.
Diamond Lake and Rocky Mountain Track
Knuckle Hill and Kaihoke Lakes
Punakaiki - Pororari River Loop
Routeburn Track and Key Summit
Dunedin has a great coastline, but the thing is, when you're in the city it's pretty easy to not even remember that the sea is right there! To access it you need to get yourself out to the gorgeous Otago Peninsula, or to one of the local beaches like St. Clair.
Or to Tunnel Beach. This place is accessed by a short drive through the suburbs of Dunedin, then past a bit of farmland to a car park at the end of a road. You would never know anything interesting is here until you start down the short, steep path, and suddenly in front of you a magnificent vista opens up, of green cliffs, a spectacular rock arch, sea stacks, a sandy beach and pounding waves.
From the bottom of the path you could go walk out onto the top of the arch, but the signs clearly tell you not to, because who knows just how strong that arch is? I didn't go, because falling into that water didn't seem like much fun.
Instead I took the tunnel, the one cut in the 1870s by John Cargill, with little steps right through the rock down to the cove and its lovely sandy beach. The idea was that his family could bathe in privacy, but unfortunately his daughter drowned in the beach's strong rip current, so think twice before swimming!
Tunnel beach has huge boulders, rock formations and all kinds of little nooks and crannies to explore if you want, and a cave that gave me refuge when it started raining for a while.
Careful! Without knowing it, I walked right past a sleeping sea lion. And although that doesn't seem like a big deal, they can be aggressive if you get too close (if they're conscious, that is…) so look out for them. They tend to get a bit covered in sand and are not too differently coloured than the rocks, so they blend right in!
The weather cleared up as I made my way back up the tunnel steps, and I spent a while admiring the massive brown bull kelp swaying in the waves, and re-taking all the photos I'd taken before when the weather was grey. Because that's just the silly kind of thing I do.
So for a short walk and some stunning coastline in Dunedin, head for Tunnel Beach!

Work on Canberra station on the North-South Line (NSL) started yesterday, as Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan stressed that safety will be a top priority in building the station - only the second after Dover to be built over an MRT line already in operation.
Canberra station, which is between Sembawang and Yishun stations, is expected to be ready in 2019.
"Building a new station on a functioning line has its challenges," Mr Khaw wrote on Facebook, adding that he has "stressed to the construction team to place safety as their top priority".
Mr Khaw's emphasis on safety comes after two SMRT workers were hit and killed by an oncoming train near Pasir Ris MRT last Tuesday. SMRT admitted a day later that a safety lapse led to the deaths of the men, aged 26 and 24.
In a press release yesterday, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) noted that stringent safety measures will be put in place.
You are building all around the MRT line - building under because the concourse is there, building next to it as the platforms are on both sides, and a roof on top. You are wrapping around the viaduct, basically.
MR CHUAH HAN LEONG, LTA's director of rail expansion, on the engineering challenges involved in working around an operational MRT line.
"We have enhanced the work processes used previously for the construction of Dover station," said LTA. Dover station, on the East-West line, opened in 2001.
For Canberra station, critical works next to the existing tracks will be confined to the three to four hours when the trains are not running, said LTA.
When works are carried out near the "live" tracks, LTA and the contractor will coordinate with SMRT, the NSL operator, over access to the work area, and impose stringent control on the works being done, it added.
A project safety review process for the design and construction phases has been implemented, along with detailed risk assessments, LTA said.
A protective enclosure of nearly 220m - the length of the station - will be built around the tracks for safety. This is so that light construction works, such as the outfitting of the skin of the roof, can be done even as trains are running.
Working around an operational MRT line presents a unique set of engineering challenges, especially as the hours to do critical works are limited, said LTA's director of rail expansion Chuah Han Leong.
"You are building all around the MRT line - building under because the concourse is there, building next to it as the platforms are on both sides, and a roof on top. You are wrapping around the viaduct, basically," he said.
A station mock-up will be built off-site so a trial installation of the columns and roof truss can be done, to determine the safest and most effective construction method, Mr Chuah added.
The mock-up will be a skeletal version and will comprise two sets of columns and roof trusses.
During construction, the roof trusses, which span more than 28m, will have to be lifted vertically by cranes and joined to columns of about 17m in height. "You can imagine the precision required," Mr Chuah said.
As part of the works, a new 72m- long rail crossover track will be constructed north of Canberra station to connect the two existing tracks. "This allows trains to move from one track to the other, providing better operational resilience," LTA said.
The contract to build the station was awarded last April to China State Construction Engineering (Singapore) for $90 million.
When completed, Canberra station will serve residents of nearby estates like Sembawang Springs as well as upcoming residential developments.

JANUARY 16, 2015 – Today is the third Friday of the month, and that means we have a number of positions with options expiring after the close on Friday. There is no last-minute mystery on whether the options will expire worthless. Below please find our positions expiring today, and two more that expired earlier this month.
Most of our put selling resulted in worthless expiration that allowed us to pocket our premium for an annualized return well above our 15% threshold of desirability. There are eight positions in which we still own the stocks. With Rite-Aid we were called away on 500 of our 700 original shares from a prior trade on August 19 which has us in the stock at a cost basis of $6.20 per share.

The capital is expecting around 20,000 visitors in May 2014, so the Organising Committee for Championship Preparation and Conduct recently met to discuss how best to ensure their comfort, chaired by the Prime Minister of Belarus, Mikhail Myasnikovich. Guests and players alike need to be accommodated and catered for with care.
Already, a number of hotels are being built across the city, including a new 'three star' hotel, sleeping 100, in Internatsionalnaya Street. The President Hotel and Hotel Polet are being modernised while a new hotel is to open at the High Technologies Park. "At the meeting, we finally decided that investors won't invest money in this project so we must build it ourselves," admitted Minsk Mayor Nikolai Ladutko. "We'll build hotels similar to those in the Tsentralny, Leninsky and Oktyabrsky districts of Minsk, with the architecture matching that of the HTP."
Student dormitories will also be available to hockey fans, while several children's camps and resorts will also be specially prepared to accommodate guests on a budget. "We're working hard to prepare guest accommodation by the end of next year," notes Mr. Ladutko. "Transportation, security and the cultural programme are also being discussed."
A huge advertising campaign is to be launched to enrol volunteers to help with the Championship. Already, it has been decided that students from the Belarusian State Linguistic University are to help at hotels while staff engaged in public catering and transport may receive language lessons.
Mr. Ladutko notes, "Our goal is to invite people to Minsk. The investments are large, so we must gain maximum return."
Mr. Myasnikovich believes that public feedback is vital, explaining, "Minsk City Executive Committee and the Ministry of Sports need to hear the opinions of taxi drivers, restaurant owners and others with vested interests; how can they organise everything to ensure maximum comfort for residents and visitors?"

Graft-accused Patrick Ho did not declare funding sources, report saysLocal | 24 Jul 2018 3:33 pm
Former home affairs secretary Patrick Ho Chi-ping, who is facing corruption charges in the United States, has reportedly ignored numerous requests by his offshore law firm to declare the funding sources of a company he set up with mainland energy investors, RTHK reports citing the news agency, FactWire.
FactWire reported that Ho has controlled at least two companies in the British Virgin Islands for years, and through one of them he had set up a local company, called China United Resources, with the mainlanders in 2013.
The report says that as Ho is classified as a "politically exposed person" because he was previously a minister, the law firm in Panama requested him to disclose the British Virgin Island company's finances, source of funds, as well as its ultimate beneficial owner. But none of the requests was answered over the years.
However, the FactWire report admitted there is no suggestion of any wrongdoing.
Ho is accused of offering bribes to senior officials from Chad and Uganda to secure business advantages for a Shanghai-based energy firm he represented. He has denied the charges and failed recently to get them thrown out.
Ho is currently in detention in New York.
