Review: Niki and The Dove and Twin Shadow live at Music Hall of Williamsburg
Photos by G.
On September 28, 2012 Music Hall of Williamsburg presented another great double bill of music at the sold out Twin Shadow and Niki and The Dove show. A day prior, the same lineup played the much larger (and also sold out) Webster Hall in Manhattan so it was a special treat to see this show in a smaller venue. A lot has been said online about Twin Shadow, but I rarely believe what I read since most of the articles are written by bitter hipsters that are glorified interns with an axe to grind.
With that being said, I think Twin Shadow (nee' George Lewis, Jr.) is worth all the hype. He struts around the stage with a confidence that reminded me of Prince several times and his songs have a familiarity in them, yet they are all original new wave/rock/pop compositions, save for the closing last song which was a cover of Queen and David Bowie's "Under Pressure." For those wondering, it's not an easy song to cover and yet, Twin Shadow owned it! For some strange reason, the venue has gotten really anal about taking video at shows, so unfortunately this performance was not captured. In addition to the great tunes, George Lewis Jr. talked about how awesome it was to be performing in Brooklyn, where he currently resides and before the night was over, he got the crowd doing many sing-a-longs and released multicolored balloons from the ceiling, which always makes for a fun concert!
But before Twin Shadow kicked some serious butt on stage, Sweden's Niki and the Dove brought some catchy electro-funk to Brooklyn. Niki and the Dove's lead singer Malin Dahlström sounds like a perfect amalgam of Bjork, The Knife and Kate Bush and musically, their songs are upbeat and extremely catchy. Performing mostly in the dark, but with cool spotlights and Malin's light up (and also colorful) rings, Niki and the Dove won the crowd over immediately and there's a good chance that some of their songs received louder applause than the headliner. Niki and the Dove's debut album "Instinct" is out now and if you like dance music, you will surely like this album. It's been on repeat rotation for me and I am liking it more with every play. I spoke with Niki and the Dove after the show and they will be back opening for Miike Snow, so you will not want to miss that show as it will also be a double bill of great music.
After the jump, see Twin Shadow's set list as well as photos of my encounters with Twin Shadow and Niki and the Dove.

Testimonials & Reviews
"I love working with Don. He has the unique ability to be both critically constructive and personally encouraging. I need both. I need the honest truth about what does and does not work in a song, but I also need a little kindness. He has the experience and knowledge of a successful Nashville songwriter, but never comes across as arrogant or condescending. He truly listens to what is working in a song and where it can be improved. His advice is more than just personal opinion, but is born out of his many years of experience of writing songs that get cut. He is a student of his craft and will help you understand what makes a strong lyric. Working with Don has been one of the best investments I have made in myself as a songwriter. Wherever you are in the development of your craft, whether you want to try to write for others, or just want to write songs for yourself, Don can help you make your songs better."

Thank you.
I've managed to get a little bling for the jimmy. I'm going to be upgrading the trans cooler with a better one using the -6an fittings and lines. I need new trans lines and figured this would be a good upgrade for it. Just a little pricey compared to the one I have on it now. Metal lines and hose with clamps sin't always the best to keep using.
Look on ebay and amazon. There's companies on the net that sell them too.
Thats nice man its good to see someone from GA on here reppin!
You can find adapters for 4x6's really cheap so you could do 3.5 or 4inch componets
Thanks, I've been on here for years. Hate to hear yours were stolen. I've heard of alot of rides and trailer stolen from where you're at. I haven't tried adapters for the 4x6's yet. But I will be next year. I need to get the dash speakers going again. The jimmy now has over 430,000 on it. I don't have a working speedo right now so I'm having to guess plus use my gps. I'm hoping soon to fix that though. Thanks again.
Thanks, I have to change the tail shaft on my trans to get the speedo working again on mine. I've got a 4l60 trans in mine right now. It has the electric speedo on it. I just haven't found a bad trans cheap enough to buy for the parts. I gotta find a 700r4 to do it with. Right now I get a ses light till I get the cable going again. I really want to do custom gauges but I have to get the issue fixed 1st. I've been driving one for 22 years now so I do know what you mean about changing out everything lol.
This weekend I'm working on the jimmy. Going to change the t-stat, the transmount, and find out what is hitting under the truck. It's not knocking but something is hitting somewhere. Hope next month to put a new trans cooler and an lines for trans lines. I've got to order three fitting and the line. I already have everything else.
I got some work done on the jimmy. I won a drawing for some free work at a local auto shop. They changed out the trans mount, the spindles with the drop spindles I had, the upper ball joints, power steering pump, the ac compressor too. I still have to get the parts to put on my an transcooler, change the front seal and find a yolk for the 2000 blazer rear end. I had one but they said it didn't fit. Have to get alignment done too since they didn't have a way to do it. It looks lower in the front but I only used 2" drop spindles, 2" springs and drop shocks. But it's on 15" wheels too. So I'm not sure why it looks lower that.

'American Horror Story': What the what?
*SPOILERS BELOW. Proceed with caution.
So, I know everyone's way plugged in to "Walking Dead" right about now (me too), but is anyone out there still holding on to "American Horror Story - Asylum" with me?
Mu husband's even bailed on me, and I don't blame him, because I really have no idea why I keep watching. Hope springs eternal, I suppose.
Because, season one — set in an entirely different universe than season two; indeed, season two doesn't require really any knowledge of season one — was phenomenal. I don't scare easily and that show got waaaaay under my skin, starting with the man in the black rubber suit creeping around that hideous house/poor tortured, murderous Tate. And the twist with young Violet at the end of the series? So great, a tad heart-breaking, and perfectly executed. Well played, FX. Even the opening credits were freaky.
PS. How fabulous is Jessica Lange? Answer: completely.
Alright, so now we've got season two, set in the 1960s in a Massachusetts mental asylum called Briarcliff Manor, a former tuberculosis hospital. Sounds good right? We New Englanders love us a good ghost-set-in-asylum story; we dig Poe, winters are dark here, we get it. Color me all amped up for season two when it started this fall, featuring several actors from season one return to take on new, often very, very different roles. And if you thought Jessica Lange was intense as a smoldering Southern mama with an iron grip, you ain't seen nothing until you've seen her as Sister Jude, an administrator at Briarcliff.
Wouldn't you say that's ever so fertile ground for a rollicking, kooky, scary season two? I sure would've.
But no, season two also considers no less than: alien abductions; a mad-scientist-Nazi-doctor war criminal; zombie-ish ghouls tended by said Nazi-doctor war criminal; demonic possession complete with exorcism; Adam Levine running around minus one arm; and more Catholic dogma/guilt than you can shake a stick at. Oh yeah, and as is turns out, (SPOILER*SPOILER*SPOILER) Zachary Quinto's Dr. Thredson — someone we thought was one of the good guys — likes to skin people and make lampshades from their skin. Get it? "Thread-son"? He goes down in urban mythology as — wait for it —"Bloody Face" the serial killer.
For real.
It's too much—it's so too much I wonder if the show is parodying itself, making some sort of super-stylized homage to pulp fiction. But I don't think it's that kind of party. I wish it was.
Actually, no I don't. Is it so much to ask for a good scare/opportunity to exit reality these days? Must everything be ironic? Sheesh.
To the writers/creative types behind "American Horror Story": rein it in. You've got a great cast, and Ms. Lange will likely win herself another Emmy for her efforts on your behalf. Don't squander it with a jillion storylines that nobody cares to follow. Creep us out with the kooks in the asylum and their handlers and leave it at that. James Cromwell as Head Mad Scientist is amazing in that capacity. It's such a far cry from Farmer "That'll do pig" it's, well, scary. Chloe Sevigny as a very, very, very unfortunate inmate? Not much else needed. I'm certain that'll be better than the Three-Ring Circus of Post-Modern Frights you've scheduled every Wednesday night.
Yet, I shall hold out hope for one more episode for some grand show of cohesion. If not, I'll meet you all back for season 3, because Jessica Lange's aboard for that one too and I'd tune in just to hear her read the phone book, aliens notwithstanding.

Girl arrested in ritual stabbing of school friend
Fresno police have arrested a high school student accused of stabbing her friend in what the two girls described as a friendship bonding rite.
Police say the two 16-year-old Bullard High School students had planned Wednesday's bloody ritual together. One had handed the other a small knife and agreed to be stabbed.
The injured teenager was treated by school staff before being taken to a hospital. She was treated, then arrested on suspicion of having a dangerous weapon on campus.
Police say her friend who wielded the knife was arrested at school on suspicion of having a dangerous weapon on campus and assault with a deadly weapon.
School officials say the teenagers could be suspended or expelled for bringing a knife to campus.

Luncheon in the Studio was a realistic masterpiece which Manet was devoted to color contrast. For Manet, it was a common thing that the indoor scenes were using realistic approach for performance. But the painter divided the studio into right and left parts. Thus, the young maid's clothes formed a contrast with the youth's uppers. The table's color tones were contrasted by the painter image behind the table. Among this, the youth image was the main tone of color contrast, making the both sides echo with each other.
Luncheon in the Studio was a favorite work of Manet. In this painting, no story, only image. The smoking man sitting on the right and an old gun on the left were only used to transfer viewers attention attracted by the fore young people and back women. The position and proportion of characters indicated that they were arranged in two different spatial landscapes which were very clear and shared the obvious difference. But they did not imitate the nature. That's to say, it was virtual. The appearance of these two characters gave a person a kind of magic and unreal feeling. But from the point of view of artistic conception, it was credible. The color further strengthened this impression: the black on the uniform's shirt-this was the foreground; in a farther place, there were the light gray and yellow in women's clothes; then was the white vase. Other colors were quietly foiling the whole painting. Among all the paintings of Manet, the best was he did not insist on the objectivity and integrity, but to work on his own style only based on his feelings.
Luncheon in the Studio
The arts are sometimes overlooked, but they're a valuable part of culture and history.

Festivalgoers attend the 2018 Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival on April 13, 2018 in Indio, California. (Photo by Christopher Polk/Getty Images for Coachella)
The parent company of the Coachella Festival, which began today in Indio, California and will run for two weekends, has been sued by Portland music festival Soul'd Out over a clause that allegedly gives Coachella a seasonal monopoly on West Coast live music. The clause in question, known as the "radius clause," prevents artists from playing at other festivals or "themed events" within a 1,300 mile radius of Coachella from December to May.
Representatives from GoldenVoice, Coachella's parent company, argue that radius clauses are common in the music industry in order to ensure the quality and singularity of the experience. In a statement to
AOTC NeoprenePaneled Leather Top Buy Cheap Very Cheap Newest Cheap Price Buy Cheap Prices Pick A Best For Sale 2018 Sale Online RniWW
, GoldenVoice says that "Promoters take great risk and spend huge sums to produce marquee festivals," and that the clause is "crucial to our ability to continue offering fans the unrivaled experience for which Coachella has become known."
However, Soul'd Out's lawsuit also alleges that GoldenVoice only selectively enforces this clause, allowing artists to break contract for shows promoted by Coachella's festival owners AEG Live. One example is Jay-Z, who played an AEG event at the Staples Center in Los Angeles right before headlining Coachella in 2010.
Due to the radius clause, Soul'd Out – which takes place over 1,000 miles from Indio and begins on April 18th – was unable to recruit artists such as SZA and Daniel Caesar, which would have likely provided supplementary business and exposure for the much smaller scale Festival. Lawyers for the Festival's founders Nicholas Harris and Haytham Abdulhadi have called Coachella's radius clause " an unlawful restraint on trade ," arguing that the restrictive performer contracts give an already-successful festival an unfair monopoly on the live music business in the region. The lawsuit also alleges that the radius in question appears to have grown in recent years, and that previous years' contracts did not include Oregon and Washington.
Although Coachella is the only major festival that has been recently taken to court about this clause, research shows that similar contracts put forth by other large-scale festivals could have a significant negative impact on regional venues. One study, cited by Soul'd Out's suit, shows that
Marchesa Notte Silk Mini Dress w/ Tags Amazing Cheap Cost Discount Big Discount Clearance Pick A Best KZ8HC00F
have similar effects in their respective areas and timeframes. Therefore, this case could set precedence if it moves forward and a judge determines there is an antitrust violation.
Coachella takes place April 13-15 and 20-22 this year and features headliners including The Weeknd, Beyonce, Eminem, and SZA, drawing a per-day attendance rate close to 100,000 people. Soul'd Out runs from April 18-22, featuring artists including Erykah Badu, Wyclef Jean, and De La Soul.

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson is out with a potentially serious knee injury.
Johnson was hurt on an awkward tackle by the Los Angeles Rams' Eugene Sims and Alec Ogletree in the first quarter of both teams' season finale. Johnson's leg bent back alarmingly while he went down, and he stayed down for a long moment with players from both teams kneeling around him.
Johnson eventually walked gingerly off the field, and the Cardinals said his return was questionable.

PFA wants more protection for players
PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor has told ESPN that the football authorities have to devise a system of protection for players in the wake of the ugly scenes in Sunday's Manchester derby.
The boss of the players' union came in for criticism on Monday for his suggestion that netting should be installed to stop incidents such as Rio Ferdinand being hit just above the eye by a coin thrown from the crowd at the Etihad Stadium and a fan running onto the field to try and confront the Manchester United defender following Robin van Persie's late winner in the 3-2 win for the Red Devils.
Relatives of victims of the Hillsborough disaster were among those most vocal in their opposition to such an idea.
However, Sunday's incident was the latest in a string of on-pitch incursions by fans this year which threatened the safety of players.
In October Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Chris Kirkland was struck in the face after a Leeds fan ran onto the field during the 1-1 draw at Hillsborough. The fan was jailed for 16 weeks.
In May, former Leeds star Alan Smith had to be rescued by police after he was mobbed by Huddersfield fans at the final whistle of MK Dons' visit to the Galpharm Stadium.
Taylor believes that protection for players is now of paramount importance, and a great deal of debate is needed to come up with a method acceptable to players and fans alike.
"We need to explore some means of protection which does not affect viewing or the safety of spectators," he said. "We will wait for the FA inquiry."
PFA chairman Clarke Carlisle echoed Taylor's sentiments, claiming that football's authorities should not wait until someone is seriously hurt before decisive action is taken.
"Do we have to wait until an England captain is blinded by a coin to grasp the nettle and stamp down on supporters who behave in an unacceptable way?" Carlisle was quoted as saying by the Daily Mirror. "You can't pretend there is no problem when one of England's best players, Wayne Rooney, goes to take a corner and you can see missiles flying through the air around him. Until Rio Ferdinand was hit by that object, it's only by luck that players have not been injured before because the missiles were missing their targets.
"On one hand, you do not want to over-dramatise the problem and resort to scaremongering, but on the other hand you can't sweep what happened at the Manchester derby under the carpet because it was terrible.
"The truth about hooligan behaviour inside football grounds is not that it's on the increase, nor that we are creeping back towards the bad old days, because the problem never went away in the first place. But the important thing is how we respond and deal with it.
"We don't want football to reach the stage where something terrible happens before we address the issue, like tearing down the fences which penned in fans until 96 innocent people lost their lives at Hillsborough.
"Sadly, it has taken someone as high-profile as Rio to suffer for the issue to make the front pages. Now is the time to clamp down, now is the time to stamp it out. We need to lower our tolerance levels, we can't afford to wait until there's a tragedy."

text: Contract Essentials for Raising Dairy Heifers July 24, 2013 08:01 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By MILK Editors Email Make sure all responsibilities, costs and expectations are laid out in writing. Source: Dairy Calf and Heifer Association Raising dairy heifers until they are ready to enter the milking herd is a substantial investment, so having a clear, detailed contract is important to outline the responsibilities and expectations of both parties. "When dairy heifers are being raised by a third party, having a written contract in place is essential to outline the terms of the agreement and to clarify who's responsible for the various expenses and management tasks," says Tamilee Nennich, associate professor and extension dairy specialist at Purdue University. In a recent Purdue Dairy Digest podcast, Nennich explains some of the key details that need to go into a heifer-raising contract. When writing a contract, one of the first details that need to be determined is how long the heifers will be raised and what stage or stages of growth the contract will cover. The next major consideration to determine is the cost of raising the heifers. "Although many contracts are written based on a daily feeding rate, some contracts use other strategies to determine pricing, such as a set charge per pound of gain," Nennich says. In addition to negotiating the cost for raising heifers, it is important to include details as to what the expectations are for heifer growth and development. Also be sure to discuss and outline these issues in your contract: • Who will absorb the cost when a heifer dies? • Which party pays for vaccinations and any veterinary expenses? • Person responsible for transportation costs. • Details and expectations for breeding heifers, if heifers will be raised during breeding. • Information on expected age and size at breeding, as well as person responsible for paying synchronization and breeding costs and how breeding decisions will be made. "Custom raising dairy heifers can be beneficial for both the dairy farmer and the heifer raiser, but having a contract that clearly outlines the terms of raising the heifers will help to ensure that everyone clearly understands their responsibilities and has similar expectations," Nennich says.

Even at night, F‑TYPE stands out. Its new LED headlights* featuring LED 'J' blade Daytime Running Lights are as powerful as they look. These elegant headlights adapt the width and depth of their beam to your speed and offer a quality of light closer to daylight. You always have the best possible illumination whatever your surroundings, helping your eyes distinguish objects more easily and reducing fatigue.
*Standard on F‑TYPE R‑Dynamic, F‑TYPE R and F‑TYPE SVR. Optional on F‑TYPE.
F‑TYPE is a pure sports car with a design that combines both power and grace. Bold proportions. Instinctive curves. Timeless, evocative and progressive in a way that could only be Jaguar. Available with 18" to 20" alloy wheels.
Design enhancements give F‑TYPE R‑Dynamic a supremely confident look. Its stance is bolder and more assertive thanks to striking body styling and a choice of larger alloy wheels. Powerful and beautifully designed LED headlights are the perfect finishing touch.
This Special Edition's unique design is created by distinctive styling and sharp Yellow F‑TYPE 400 SPORT detailing inside and out. Its Sport Design Pack and Dark Satin Grey trim give it a head‑turning presence. 20" Dark Satin Grey alloy wheels complete the exclusive look.
F‑TYPE R is intensity. A potent mix of performance and style. It provides more. More power. More dynamic capability. More thrills. Honed, sensuous and exciting – F‑TYPE R is one of a kind.
The performance of our most powerful production car ever is enhanced by every part of its dramatic exterior design. Each styling element, down to the smallest, subtle detail, creates F‑TYPE SVR's unique dynamic capability.
For the pure Coupé look, F‑TYPE's aluminium roof is as strong and lightweight as the rest of the vehicle. It provides the ideal complement in colour, style and line to the powerful F‑TYPE profile. The aluminium roof expresses F‑TYPE in its clearest sports car form.
Introducing even more natural light and airiness to the interior, a full width panoramic roof is optional. For increased seclusion, should it be required, the roof features a manually sliding blackout sunblind.
With carbon fibre outer and inner panels bonded together to create a strong yet light roof structure, the optional carbon fibre roof is 20 percent lighter than the standard aluminium roof. It features carbon fibre weave visible through a deep, high‑grade lacquered finish.

Acoustically enhanced with composite fabric to reduce noise, it features a flush fitting heated glass rear window.

Free school meals for all 'boost results'
Offering free school meals to everyone can help close the gap between rich and poor pupils, a report suggests.
A study looking at the effects of extending free meals to all in two pilot areas of England suggests primary pupils advance by two months on average as a result.
Advances were most pronounced in pupils from poorer homes.
Researchers put the attainment boost down to improvements in pupils' productivity.
The study looked at the impact of extending entitlement to free school meals in three English local authority areas over a two-year period.
'Better food'
In two areas, Durham and Newham, meals were offered universally to pupils.
In a third, Wolverhampton, entitlement was extended to cover pupils in primary and secondary schools to a greater number of but not all pupils.
There was little change in either take-up of school meals or attainment on this partial expansion pilot.
But in the universal pilot, most pupils areas took up the option of taking the free meals.
The report suggested the nutritional content of school lunches was better than packed lunches. Better food has been linked previously with better behaviour.
Children were more likely to eat hot food, including vegetables and carbohydrates. They were also more likely to drink water rather than fizzy drinks.
'Levelling effect'
Researchers then compared the school results of children on the universal pilot with similar children in other areas.
They found an average increase in attainment of about two months for those in primary school.
And the impact was more pronounced for children from less affluent families and amongst those with lower prior attainment.
The study said school staff noticed a "levelling effect" in the quality of lunches eaten by pupils from different backgrounds.
The report said the increase in attainment "must arise as a result of improvements in productivity whilst at school".
The study said the universal approach cost the equivalent of around £220 per primary school pupil over two years.
It added that the universal entitlement pilot appeared to deliver better value for money "than some educational interventions".
'Not viable'
Children's Food Trust chief executive, Judy Hargadon, said: "These findings are serious food for thought.
"Offering free school meals to every child in Newham and Durham helped to make them more likely to eat a better diet at school, do significantly better in class - with an average of two months more progress by pupils at key stages 1 and 2 - and less fussy about what they ate at home."
A Department for Education spokeswoman said: "We are committed to ensuring that free school meals are available to those pupils who need them most, but it is not viable to continue the universal pilots in the current financial climate.
"It is right to focus schools' budgets on the government's priority of directly raising attainment for all children."
Sharon Hodgson, MP, chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on School Food, said the evaluation showed the significant benefits from having universal access to nutritional and filling school meals.
" It provides real food for thought for a government which claims to want to boost attainment and increase social mobility, but which scrapped further pilot schemes within weeks of being elected.
"If they are serious about improving outcomes for all children, they need to seriously examine the positive impact that universal free school meals has had in Durham."
The Local Authority Caterers Association said healthy school meals not only improve concentration and attainment, but also have other wide-reaching benefits.
The research was carried out by the National Centre for Social Research, the Institute of Fiscal Studies and Bryson Purdon Social Research.
It comes after the education secretary Michael Gove ordered a review of school food, amid concerns that academies can opt out of strict nutritional guidelines introduced to raise standards in school kitchens.

The Toughest Team Always Wins: A Navy SEAL Teaches ToughnessPosted by Kenny Ocker (@kennyocker) on November 21st, 2013
The toughest team always wins.
The visiting Virginia Commonwealth Rams have the ball under their own basket with 9.8 seconds to go, moments after a free throw from Virginia's Malcolm Brogdon tied the game at 56.
"C'mon, you guys, you can do this," former Navy SEAL John McGuire thought as he sat directly behind VCU's bench. "Focus."
Rams point guard Rob Brandenburg brings the ball past halfcourt, cuts to his right and passes to shooting guard Treveon Graham above the top of the key. Graham launches a three-pointer from nearly 30 feet away, snapping the net with just three seconds remaining. The Cavaliers miss a final-second heave.
Just like McGuire taught them.
McGuire, who rode on the Rams' bus to Charlottesville and gave the pregame speech, has worked with coach Shaka Smart's team since just after the Final Four run in 2011. The former sniper instructor now runs SEAL Team Physical Training, a Richmond, Virginia, business that focuses on fitness and team-building exercises, including for athletic teams. Smart found out about SEAL Team PT through word of mouth and called McGuire in November 2010, asking about his philosophies on teamwork and building leaders. "I think he liked what he heard," McGuire said.
Since beginning work with VCU, SEAL Team PT has worked with nine Division I men's basketball programs, along with college football, lacrosse, women's basketball and baseball teams. Last offseason, McGuire personally worked with VCU, Toledo and Illinois, teams that are a combined 10-0 in 2013-14.
"Get comfortable being uncomfortable."
McGuire prides himself on taking people out of their comfort zones with his drills, many of them taken from his Navy SEAL training. Working on an unfamiliar task levels the playing field. It forces the people taking part to work together, lead, be confident and communicate. Players are usually divided into teams for their tasks, which can include anything from push-ups and running to carrying a sandbag or rowing a boat together. Given the limited time constraints afforded McGuire by NCAA rules – sometimes his training sessions are as short as three one-hour sessions within a week – cultivating chemistry and rapport is at the top of his task list.

Amanda Steinberg asked Ramit Sethi, founder of "I Will Teach You to Be Rich", about how to develop your earning power.
A lot of money advice focuses on cutting back. Why don't more people look for ways to earn more on the side?
I was actually curious about this, so I studied 100,000-plus people to figure out the exact answers. (In fact, that led me to create a free mini-course on earning more.)
One common reason I discovered is: "I don't have an idea." We think we need a totally original idea to start a side business, but originality is overrated. Picking something you're good at—and people will pay for—matters more.
Do you have to quit your job to start a business?
No! I recommend my students earn money on the side to diversify their incomes.
The first step is finding out IF and HOW the market will pay for one of your talents.
Your first goal should be to find three paying clients. The first might be your sister. The second might be your aunt. But the third isn't a fluke—that's when you know the market really wants your service.
With just five to 10 hours a week, most of us can earn $1,000 per month on the side.
I put together a collection of videos and tools to help you find a profitable idea and get started today. Get a free mini-course on how to earn more.

Comment Moderation Enabled
These comments have been littered through most posts in the past few months and I don't feel having more of them would add anything to the discussion. Everyone already knows that I'm stupid, fat, an idiot, can't speel, a bad reviewer, a tight arse, have no vocabulary, have a double chin etc, so repeating it all in comments is just a waste of space.
Please note that I am referring to Anonymous, not my friend Oblivion, who ribs me but doesn't take it so far as to swear at me and abuse me like there's no tomorrow. And apparently, I deserve all this abuse because this blog is shitty and I know nothing. If that's a crime, 95% of cyberspace should be removed and their creators abused as well.
Rant over.
Thanks to everyone who has visited and commented with useful suggestions and opinions. As I keep repeating, you can disagree with me and say so, but just don't swear at me and abuse me.

Now you have to spend countless hours reviewing each comment and whether it is publishable or not.ReplyDelete
If Youtube did that, you will never have any feedback comments.
95% of cyberspace knows shit? that's a high number. So you saying Wikipedia should be bagged!!!
Well I hope Chef still has the chance to put his 2 cents in even if you have to censor certain words.

And how does that make you feel Thanh? Shouldn't be too good for your confidence knowing that's what people think of you!!!
Anonymous, irony is lost on people with no self awareness or humility.ReplyDelete
Hi Thanh,ReplyDelete
It's a shame when this has to happen, isn't it?
I just wonder what type of person spends the time to make idiotic comments on a blog that they obviously don't like. I mean, it's so stupid it defies reason.
Maffy, it's a shame but I feel I have to do this.ReplyDelete
All those stupid comments just stop other people from making real comments that may actually interest me.
I have said so many times, if he hates this blog so much, just don't read it. It does defie reason, but that's something I need to start to understand. Sometimes you just can't talk reason to some people.
Hi Thanh, trolls are sadly inevitable on the internet, but I agree it's pretty pathetic that a few douchebags cower behind anonymity like that.ReplyDelete
I chose to moderate comments on my site too. The funny thing is that trolls tend to spend so much TIME visiting blogs they abuse and ostensibly hate!
I like to tag the ISP addresses (through Statcounter) of people who visit my site more than 20 times, to get an idea of regular visitors' reading habits. I tagged one of my lame trolls, and it's intersting to note that that person checks my site about four times a day, every day. Makes you wonder, huh?
Claire, I just don't understand the thinking of these people. If you hate my blog or any other site so much, just stop visiting it. No one is forcing you to. It's like they want to bully you into their views or something.ReplyDelete
This person abusing me has a very unique ISP, so it was easy to track his activity. He would visit at 9am in the morning, 11am, 12pm, 3pm, 5pm, 7pm. I think after 7pm was when the restaurant got busy so no visits after that. For quite a few months, he was checking back on all the posts he had commented on all day. I guess it should have occurred to me that he wanted me to reply and get a reaction out of me. But such wasted energy is something I cannot fathom.
But my manager reminded me that the sooner I can accept that I cannot talk reason to some people, the less annoyed I will be.
I think moderating comments is a good idea. There's nothing wrong with fair comment and sensible criticism but when the few idiots overstep the mark, why bother giving them a platform? They are also not bright enough to realise web stats throw up some interesting facts and that commenting as "anonymous" isn't as anonymous as they think.ReplyDelete
Hi Pat, how are you going? Nice to chat to you by the way. Good to meet yet another food blogger in Melbourne.ReplyDelete
I gave this anonymous person many chances to give input about the things I wrote. But I just could not tolerate the constant insults and crude remarks about me. I'm all for free speech, but when you overstep it, it just becomes bullying and harassment.
I know this person's IP, but I wish I could find that where the IP related to in terms of location. Imagine if I sent abusive emails or made abusive phone calls to this person's restaurant everyday. He wouldn't like it, so why do it to me on this blog.

KABUL, Afghanistan, Dec. 22 (UPI) -- President Hamid Karzai called corruption a "bitter reality" in Afghanistan but, in a televised speech Saturday, blamed most of it on foreign organizations.
Karzai suggested standards will rise as foreign troops leave the country during the next two years, Khaama Press reported.
"Corruption in Afghanistan is a reality, a bitter reality," Karzai said. "The part of this corruption that is in our offices is a small part: that is bribes. The other part of corruption, the large part, is hundreds of millions dollars that are not ours. We shouldn't blame ourselves for that. That part is from others and imposed on us."
Transparency International rates Afghanistan as one of the most corrupt countries. Foreign governments and non-governmental organizations that have donated billions of dollars to Afghanistan in the past decade blame Karzai for failing to root out corruption in his government and declining to prosecute political allies.

Reading Lens for Windows Phone 8 is a simple app that will help you read small text, much like a pair of reading glasses would. The app makes use of the Windows Phone camera to magnify small print so it can be easily read.
Even if you aren't needing to go get your eyes checked, Reading Lens will help you read the tiny print on medicine bottles, coupon expiration dates, contracts and other documents where fine print is prominent.
If the normal magnification isn't enough, you can pinch the screen to zoom. There are also control to turn on your Windows Phone LED light and to pause the image for better reading. You could use your camera app to do the same thing but you have the hassle of pressing the shutter button down to focus in on things and you lack the ability to turn on the camera light to use as a reading lamp.
Reading Lens is free for a limited time only (not sure what regular pricing will be) and you can find Reading Lens here at the Windows Phone Store.

The Alison Group needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 259 designs submitted by 54 freelance designers.
We are a promotional company and do everything from corporate identity, like this project, to graphic design and production of all types of promotional materials. We are looking to branch out for this project to give our customer a larger group of designers to work with.
We have been in business for 50 years and have customers across the USA. You can see more about us at http://www.alisongroup.com
This logo is for everyday consumers. People needing a debit or gift card and cannot get one from their bank.
an existing company is Green Dot:
We are looking for a logo, a logo / icon, and or a stylized brand name - not sure what would look or work the best. Corporate identity only - we are not looking for a card design.
The name is Swipe.
The product is a pre-paid debit card.
The logo needs to confide confidence in the company you are buying from, that is, if you wanted to get a $500 pre-paid card and saw this logo - would it give you confidence to use them or would you go someplace else.
They want to create a brand that that would be used like an everyday word - so just as you say "google it" you wight saw "Swipe it".

A nice guy who fell early this morning playing racquetball at the YMCA. He dislocated his left thumb and had a pretty impressive palmar laceration at the joint.
I spent quite a while chatting with him while I sewed up the laceration -- one of the true pleasures of my job. He was a very athletic guy, we both belong to the same Y, and we even knew a few people in common socially. In fact, his wife, also at the bedside, was vaguely related to one of my partners. We talked about the different sports we enjoy, and how the skiing and snow had been this year up at the pass. We talked about my work, and his work, and his experiences in the military and in the war.
Not in Iraq, but in the Philippines, in 1944. He was 85 years old.
Damn. Still skiing and playing racquetball at 85. I marveled at that fact, and he shrugged it off, "What do you expect from an old Marine?"
Talk about winning the lottery, or, as Matt once put it, "Doing the long slow victory dance in the end zone of life."

He's the world's No 1 teen dreamboat with a loyal (read screaming and swooning) fanbase, so it's only natural that Justin Bieber's debut concert in the Middle East on May 4 at the Dubai Sevens Stadium comes with a string of superlatives.
"This could be the biggest concert… Justin Bieber was the most requested artist that I have come across in 12 years. He has the most amazing, loyal fan base," said Thomas Ovesen, COO of the concert organiser DONE Events. Bieber will jet into the UAE as part of his Believe world tour.
As of now, the stage is being set to welcome more than 25,000 fans from across the globe, and the capacity of the venue could go up, depending on demand, said Ovesen.
Plans are also underway to make the pricing affordable to families, he added. The tickets will go on sale at 9am on September 23, with pre-sale tickets available on justinbieberdubai.com.
"We know that there will be fans so young that their mum and dad may come along. So we will make sure that the entry-level pricing is decided keeping that in mind. There will be different ticket rates and entry points so that families can buy more than one ticket," said Ovesen.
Care is also being taken to make the night teenage-friendly.
"When we have something like a Bieber concert, our offers will target a particular audience. Think hamburgers and hot-dogs," said Ovesen.
The Canadian pop star, who turned 18 recently, was discovered on YouTube in 2008.
Billed as Bieber's biggest show ever, the Believe tour lands in the UAE after gigs across the US, Europe and Canada.
In a recognition of the way that he rose to fame, the YouTube sensation recently held web auditions to choose a dancer to join him on the road.
Apart from sending girls into shrieking raptures, the show is expected to be a lot of fun. Speaking to E!, show director Jon Chu dubbed the concert an "immersive experience."
"Every time I go too serious, it becomes boring. It's like, 'We've seen that before.' So Justin's at a point where you want the biggest, funnest adventure you can go on," said Chu.
Meanwhile, as soon as the news of Bieber's concert in Dubai broke out, the local twitterverse went wild.
"OMG, Is this for real" and "When Justin comes to Dubai ...It's hell in May. Shirtless pictures babe ;)" were some of the tweets.
For many, Bieber's concert will be their first concert. As Mohammad Mustafa, 10, in Dubai says: "It's going to be a big night. He's like my all-time role model," said Mustafa.

Awesome Stuff: Auds & Ends
from the hear,-hear! dept
For this week's awesome stuff, we've got some assorted pieces of new crowdfunded audio gear.
The folks behind the waveBlend make a pretty good point: rigging up a house-wide wireless audio system is still a lot more annoying than it needs to be. The best systems out there are expensive, proprietary and always centralized around some sort of master unit. The waveBlend system does away with that: each modular cubic speaker connect to existing WiFi network and teams up with all the others (up to a dozen — however many you need, wherever you need them) to create a no-hassle home audio setup.
On the one hand, the gMIX isn't as big a deal as the creator might want to make it sound — a four-channel audio mixer that runs "without batteries" is just a passive line mixer and not a technological breakthrough. That said, the best products aren't always revolutionary, and gMIX does appear to be filling a gap: pro audio gear is expensive, there aren't that many choices of passive mixers around compared to active (powered) ones, and most such gear includes lots of additional features that aren't needed for a lot of applications. The gMIX, on the other hand, is cheap and simple and gets the job done.
A lot of the innovation around live streaming focuses on video, while audio is often left to languish in "good enough" territory. That's fine for meetings and conferences and speeches, but not so great for music. Enter the Gigcaster: a compact, standalone unit with the sole purpose of making it easy to broadcast quality live music online. This initial model is built using Raspberry Pi, and there are plans to move towards a more fully-featured production model — but there's also a huge focus on hackability, with the device running open source software and allowing for user-made firmware pushes.
