Teacher as Experience DesignerJanuary 25th, 2011 by Katie Koch | Filed under Design, Personal Stories.
For my thesis I'm creating an interactive toolkit that helps teaching professionals build a reflective practice. My thesis is that if teachers are able to reflect upon their work, they'll be more inspired to be creative. If we reframe the idea of teaching as a practical art, there is a lot of overlap with the practice of experience design.
In Ralph Caplan's By Design, he states, "College professors plainly ought to be designers of situations, but they rarely are." He continues:
Students are not the product. The only educational product schools can be reasonably charged with designing is the educational environment – not just the classrooms and dormitories and recreation centers that college presidents dedicate their energy to acquiring, but the situations in which students interact with each other and with faculty members. (Caplan, 148)
I believe this same concept should be applied to teachers at the high school level. They are charged with presenting a certain body of knowledge to their students, but the difference between a mediocre teacher and a great teacher is in the environment he or she creates for her students. If a teacher is a designer of a classroom experience, then why not engage that teacher in the habits of designers, including critique of her own work?
My thesis is coming along, with the final deadline in April some time. I'm conducting my first interaction prototype next week where I will gather content and feedback for my next steps. If you'd like to participate, please let me know!

Pope Francis is the Pope. If he decides to go for all the pomp his office allows ….
That's fine with me.
Because he's the Pope.
If on the other hand, he decides to wear sandals and walk rather than ride — or some black-shoed something in between the two extremes — that, too, would be ok with me.
Because he's the pope.
It appears that most Catholics are like me: Over the moon about our new papa. But, you can't please everyone. Human beings are too contrary for that to ever happen in this world. In their displeasure with our Holy Father, some of these displeased ones have fixated on one thing: The color of his shoes.
The red of the red shoes refers to the blood of the martyrs they tell us.
I've been thinking about this for days, largely because I don't understand why we need to see red shoes to think about the blood of the martyrs. The blood of people dying for Christ is not an ancient artifact from a long ago history that has passed. The blood of the martyrs is soaking into the ground in a hundred places around the world as I type this.
This is the blood of the marytrs:India
North Korea
I have interviewed survivors of Christian persecution in Uganda and Nigeria. They are different from us. Their faith has been through the fire and this fire burned away the impurities of trivial concerns.
One of the many things about these people that impressed me is their gentleness; that, and their absolute faith in heaven. I never heard anything from them about the people who persecuted them being damned to hell. The harshest thing I heard was from an Anglican bishop who called them "ignorant." Their focus is on Jesus. It is not on the ones who attacked them. They see past the persecution to heaven and the gift of eternal life.
More than once when I asked them how they got through it, they said two words: The cross.
They are different from you and me, these people who have been purified by the fires of persecution for the name of Jesus. I never asked any of them about red shoes. But if I had, I imagine that the response would have been incomprehension.

The long-awaited successor to the Lamborghini Gallardo has some tough Pirellis to fill. Though ancient by automotive standards, the Gallardo still looks fantastic and wild. Looks like the tradition continues based on these renderings of the new Lamborghini Cabrera, which we hope have some relation to reality.
These renders show some Aventador influence (not a bad thing at all) and something a little slipperier than the current Gallardo. There's also some louver action on the rear window that looks great from the outside, although it's unlikely to help rear visibility. But that's not the point.
We still don't know much about the Cabrera, other than it will be fast and probably sound very nice. Now we have a good idea that it's probably going to look fantastic. Start saving.

Anyone ever have my problem? We wanted to refiance our log home to get a better interest rate. Back in 2010 after completion, it apprassed for 300,000. Now, three years latter it apprassed for 190,000. We appealed the apprassal but was rejected.
Views: 260
Appraisal values in Colorado where I live have done the same thing. Home values are down 30% - 40%. The appraisal means nothing if you love your log home.
The appraisal means alot if you want to refiance!!!!!
Appraisals can be tricky depending on the market you're in and with Log Homes being a 'special' home, if you will, unless you have an appraiser/bank who's familiar with log homes it can be even trickier.
Ours was completed in 2010 as well, and we took a small 'hit' in 2011; but the market in our area is slowly improving. Did they use 'log homes' in the comparative section of your appraisal? What's the tax assessed value of your home (I know sometimes this doesn't matter, but if it's closer to the figure you're looking to refi, then maybe you can use it as a reference in your dispute)? Looking at recent home sales in your area, does it appear their values have dropped as well?
Just some things to consider......Sorry I wish I could be more help to you.

The AAFP has joined with more than 120 other health care organizations in calling on Congress to pass legislation that would block Medicare physician payment cuts scheduled to take effect in early January as a result of the sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula and the Budget Control Act's sequestration provision.
In a Sept. 12 letter(4 page PDF) to House and Senate leaders, the AAFP and the other health care organizations strongly urge Congress "to work diligently during the fall to reach a bipartisan agreement to pass legislation nullifying the Medicare physician payment cuts called for under the BCA's (Budget Control Act's) sequestration provision and the SGR formula."
The SGR calls for a 27 percent cut in the Medicare physician payment rate on Jan. 1, while the BCA's sequestration provision would cut the Medicare payment rate by 2 percent on Jan. 2 unless Congress acts to block the reductions.
"Sequestration also will result in across-the-board cuts to a wide range of essential programs to ensure high quality and accessible patient care," says the letter, which originated with the AMA. "We believe that Congress should not abdicate its responsibility to deliberate and make policy decisions on what is important and needs to be funded."
The Budget Control Act of 2011 imposed caps on discretionary programs to reduce funding by more than $1 trillion during the next 10 years. That act also created a Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to propose legislation to reduce deficits by another $1.2 trillion, and it put in place a sequestration provision to encourage the committee to reach a budget agreement.
However, the Joint Committee was unable to reach a budget agreement, which triggered across-the-board payment cuts that are scheduled to take effect in January. This includes the 2 percent reduction in the Medicare payment rate and might mean even greater cuts to discretionary federal spending programs such as Title VII primary care training grants.
"The combination of a sequestration cut and looming SGR payment cut would not only impede improvements to our health care system, it could lead to serious access to care issues for Medicare patients as well as employment reductions in medical practices," the letter states.
According to the letter, the BCA's Medicare cuts "could not occur at a worse time."
"Medicare physician payments have been nearly frozen for a decade, while the cost of caring for patients has increased by more than 20 percent," the letter says. "Congress still has not revealed a clear path for addressing the 27 percent cut in 2013 called for by the Medicare SGR formula."
The letter also points out that physicians face present and future financial penalties if they do not successfully participate in a number of Medicare programs, including electronic prescribing, the electronic health record meaningful use program, the Physician Quality Reporting System and the value-based modifier program.
The AAFP and the other organizations reaffirmed their commitment to work with Congress "on the shared goal of delivery and payment reform in the Medicare program to promote high-quality, high-value and better-coordinated care to our patients."
"As we approach the new year, physicians are faced with the discouraging prospect that our shared goal will be undermined due to the increasing level of uncertainty in the Medicare physician payment system. Congress has a responsibility to ensure that sufficient funding is available to sustain adequate payment for medical services provided to our nation's seniors and disabled populations under the Medicare program.
"The status quo is unsustainable and will do considerable harm to the Medicare program, as well as the broader health care delivery system."

I can't remember who started it, but now we all use it as it just fits her personality. Little monkey. George has a brother (my nephew) named Alex.
She's in a phase where she's calling her parents (my brother and s.o.) by their first names instead of mom and dad. I think it's hilarious. They do not.
Lol, I bet.
We all call her George.
That's my youngest niece, Georgia. She's a wee little thing, maybe 25 pounds there (last year). Not much bigger now, but still very cute and funny.

This story appears in the July 2000 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
Lugging a heavy laptop on business trips can be quite a
nuisance, especially if all you need to do is draft a few
documents, conduct some research online and pick up e-mail. Or
maybe you'd prefer a small device for taking notes during
meetings instead of taking up table space with a standard
At one time, we all thought we needed all our desktop data with us at all times-and occasionally we do. However, as portable notebooks have become more complex, many of us now realize that all we really require is a small, light-weight device to hold the documents we type, record dictation and keep us in touch with employees and customers via e-mail.
A Jupiter notebook fits these requirements nicely. (At one time,
the term "Jupiter" was used to differentiate small, light
portables from the Windows CE-based palm-sized PCs that were their
predecessors. Nowadays, Jupiter devices are usually referred to as
handheld PCs or PC companions.)
Considerably larger than palm-sized PDAs, Jupiter notebooks can accom-modate bigger, brighter displays and let you type comfortably on Chiclet-sized keys. And because handheld PCs operate on the power-conscious Windows CE operating system without a hard drive, they can run for hours on a single battery charge. Another advantage is that they're instant-on: There's no boot-up wait time, and you're transported back to where you left off when you last used it as soon as you press the "on" button. Convenient is their middle name.
Because they run the not-quite fully equipped pocket versions of standard desktop Windows applications with all the goods stored in volatile RAM and ROM, handheld PCs are intended as traveling "companions"-limited-use machines with limited memory and storage. No worries, though: Windows CE software is designed to synchronize with desktop PC software via serial cables or docking cradles. Once back in the office, simply connect the device to your main computer and exchange data just as you would with a Palm Pilot. With both computers connected, the latest work done on either machine automatically appears on both.
Jill Amadio is a freelance writer in Newport Beach, California, who has covered technology for 10 years.
The Lowdown
These small computers carry a surprising variety of programs in addition to built-in modems. Common applications for Jupiters include Microsoft Pocket versions of Access, Clock, Internet Explorer, Outlook, PowerPoint and Word. Hewlett-Packard's HP Jornada 680 manages your phone book and cell phone with TrioPhone Manager 2.0, views e-mail attachments in multiple formats with Inso Outside and manages personal finances with Quicken. Compaq's Aero 8000 includes the Audible Content Player for playing digital audio files downloaded from www.audible.com, while IBM's WorkPad z50 adds its own IBM Global Network Dialer.
NEC MobilePro 780's bonus applications include ArcSoft cePhoto, a digital photo editor, and a Status LED to keep you informed of battery power and remind you of scheduled appointments via a flashing amber light. Another program included is Microsoft Streets, a mapping and routing application to help you find your way over 6.3 million miles of U.S. and Canadian streets and highways. Not too shabby for a little computer sans hard drive that weighs a little less than 2 pounds.
Another alternative is Psion's Series 7. It uses its own operating system spreadsheet, time manager and contacts database but is compatible with Windows 95/98 and NT and can synchronize information with a network. A snappy blue-leather covering sets it apart from the pack.
Although Windows CE comes pre-loaded in ROM in most handheld PCs, additional software must be installed on your desktop using a CD-ROM disk. Because PC companions have no CD-ROM drive, the operating software uses your laptop or desktop's CD-ROM drive. Additional storage can be added using CompactFlash cards, and most Jupiter handhelds have slots for PC cards. Compaq's PC Pro includes a SmartCard, similar to a CompactFlash card. PC cards can use up power pretty quickly, so manufacturers recommend using AC power when you've got a PC card in the slot.
One feature that sets some of these devices apart from standard notebooks is their touch-sensitive screens that use a stylus to activate functions and move the cursor. NEC's MobilePro 780 emits reassuring clicks while you use the stylus to let you know it's working. A few handheld PCs even provide a standard touchpad, too. And if you prefer to dictate rather than type memos, most handheld PCs come with voice recorders-but don't expect high-quality audio. Just remember to have plenty of battery power before you begin.
In terms of weight, Windows CE-based Jupiter devices average less than 2 pounds. The screens measure about half the size of a typical notebook display-and at 10 diagonal inches, Compaq's Aero 8000 Handheld PC Pro has the largest on the market. Displays can be adjusted for brightness, and most darken to a sleep mode to save energy.
Compared to standard laptops (which have greedy hard drives that quickly drain batteries), the battery life of handheld PCs averages a full eight hours-meaning you can put in a full day's work without having to find an electrical outlet. And once back home, with your mobile PC connected to your desktop, you can slip it into its recharging cradle as it simultaneously transfers files.
Need To Know
The average price of a handheld PC isn't much-just $800. (You'll want to search for the lowest prices on the Net.) So if you're willing to trade functionality to gain mobility and reduce costs, a handheld PC fits the bill as a remote workstation. To help you decide if a handheld PC is right for you, consider the following:
- Understand what you need. What are your key applications? If they include heavy graphics, a handheld PC won't provide the performance you need.
- Figure out how much accessories will cost. This is especially critical if you do presentations on the road. Printer cables can add to your budget; so can other cables that aren't included, such as serial and VGA cables.
- To type comfortably, how big a keyboard do you need? Some models have a 95 percent full-sized keyboard, but others have smaller, tiny keys that are sometimes difficult to poke and prod. And make sure to understand the following terms before you shop around:
- CompactFlash card: About the size of a matchbook, these provide extra storage in special battery-backed memory. The cards are smaller than PC cards, but can be used with a PC card adaptor to fit into standard PC card slots.
- PC Card: A credit-card-sized ex-pansion card, formerly called a PCMCIA card. Type I are thin and mostly add memory. Type II are thicker and are used for modems, networking and other adaptors. Type III are thickest and used for hard drives. PC cards add a variety of storage and communication functions.
- SDRAM: Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory. A high-speed RAM that can synchronize itself with the clock speed of the microprocessor's data bus.

Connected Machining: intelligently networked in digital production
A uniformly digital networked production environment, from the design office all the way to the shipping department, is a decisive factor in order to optimally take advantage of the potential that exists within a company:
- Increase in productivity and efficiency
- Optimization of quality, delivery reliability, and time management
This applies to companies of any size—from job shops to system suppliers, as well as from small family-owned shops to internationally active medium-sized enterprises up to international corporations.
Digitalization without obstacles
Whereas large corporations can take advantage of complicated solutions in order to digitalize their processes, small and medium-sized companies need to look for practical offers that can network their process chains. Their core demands are:
- Low costs
- Retain control of data and know-how
- Simple connection of systems that are already in use and often differ greatly from each other
With Connected Machining, HEIDENHAIN offers a solution for the uniformly digital flow of information within a company while taking the exact demands and desires of the company into consideration.
Connected Machining
... turns the shop floor into the focal point of the company network through the HEIDENHAIN control on the machine tool.
... is independent of any existing or future IT systems.
... lets every company retain control of its data. Each user defines the connections and storage locations himself, without any obligation to use the cloud.
... can also be implemented very easily by manufacturers of lathes, milling machines, and milling-turning machines and offered as a flexible network solution.

How many books your group wants to read and how often you meet are obviously linked.
Many groups read one book a month and meet on a fixed time and day to discuss it - but there's no hard and fast rule.
Many groups that meet monthly most of the year will mix things up a little bit at times, for example having a holiday party and book exchange during the holidays, or taking a month or two off in the summer. Some choose to meet every other month or less. Some read more than one book for each meeting, some will decide to skip a meeting if they agree to read a particularly lengthy book, some even read different books but on a particular theme.
A key factor in many book clubs' success is picking a consistent time to meet and sticking with it, with occasional (well communicated) exceptions. It's much easier for people to schedule the book club into their calendars if they know that every second Tuesday of the month at 7pm is book club, than it is to lurch from month to month with different plans.
Most new groups starting out will probably find it best to meet monthly and to discuss one book of about 300 pages or less. Having a routine of getting together regularly will help the cohesion of the group, and keeping the books relatively short will help prevent members from getting overwhelmed.
Do you have questions on this topic or advice to give?

Part Hippie, Part Irish, All Good.
IN THE EARLY 1960s,
Colleen Clancy went to boarding school in Ireland, where many of the students came from Asia, Africa and Central America. Each came with spices from their homeland and used copious amounts to liven up the boiled and bland Irish fare. It was then that Colleen began to experiment with bold, powerful flavors.
In the mid-to-late 70's, Colleen found herself in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a place where the culture of natural foods, independent stores, and gourmet food passion came together beautifully. Clancy's Fancy was first introduced at a vegetarian potluck. Colleen was trying to create real-tasting tofu pepperoni and mixed together the perfect blend of ingredients in an exceptionally delicious sauce. It was an immediate hit! First, friends started asking for "that fancy sauce that Clancy makes." Then, local store owners and restaurants wanted it. Eventually, it grew into a high-demand business, and the sauce was still made the way it always had been – by hand with quality ingredients.
Clancy's Fancy has been featured in the books – Food Finds: America's Best Local Foods and the People Who Produce Them and Fork in the Road with Eric Villegas. It has also appeared in television programs on both Food Network and Travel Channel. Other appearances have included The Great Hot Sauce Book and The Best American Recipes 2003-2004.

Yes, I stopped taking birth control after a few months after I was married because I just wasn't the same afterward, changed my personality too.
Also, EVERY mom that has given birth should have their hormones checked. I wish someone had told me this after the birth of my son, he is now 8YO. 1 1/2 years ago, I did a ZYTO.com scan from a Homepathic Dr. it ONLY cost me $50 (suggested I take this BioActive Homeopathic Drainage afterwards) and it was revealed that my Hormones were WAY OFF, and once my Hormones went put back to normal ranges, within a day, my depression went away, my sugars dropped from 280 to 140 levels and I lost 4 lbs immediately that month(I wasn't even on a diet!). I feel better today than I ever had. I hope this helps!
Read the following account of what happened when a pharmacist substituted a generic birth control pill instead of the one prescribed. http://nanahood.com/when-the-one-percent-is-someone-you-love
omg lisa didnt know about that! thanks

mikeyjudkins necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 55 diseños de 11 diseñadores freelance.
We need a logo designed for a website, CaptionCrowd.com.
The logo will be used on the website and eventually in print (cards and letterheads) but you only need to focus on the logo. We would also like you to come up with a color palette derived from the logo on which our other creative elements can be based on (palette to consist of 4 colors).
We are big fans of the Web 2.0 look and feel. Although we've seen pure solid color vector based logos knock our socks off, we also love the gradients, reflections, and sheens found on modern web 2.0 logos.
Design our logo to be used as the corporate identity of CaptionCrowd.com
CaptionCrowd.com is a crowd sourced photo captioning site which allows users to upload and submit photos, submit captions and rate other users captions. The site will include a caption ranking system, which allows users to vote on the best captions for each photo in a dig style ranking of captions for each photo and on a higher level vote for the best overall photo/caption combination. The site allows the user to overlay any one of the submitted captions on top of the photo as well as submit their own. Captioned photos can be linked/embedded to on social networks, personal sites, blogs, or downloaded locally.
- logo which invokes a playful feeling
- crisp and clean
- original typeface
- light and or muted toned web 2.0 color palette
- design elements which incorporate the concepts of photos and captioning (what the site is about)
- no photographic elements
- no overly complicated shapes or details
- stay away from really boring type faces
- no MS Paint Jockies please ;)

Kire Lazaroski and his wife Ruza live in Kicevo, a small ethnically mixed town in Western Macedonia. During socialist times, Kire was a technical manager at the "Tane Caleski" metal factory, which employed 600 people at the time. The family looks back to this period with nostalgia. It was a time of increasing living standards, safe jobs and regular annual family holidays at the company-owned hotel on the shores of Lake Ohrid.
Like for many ethnic Macedonians in Kicevo and throughout Macedonia, the Lazaroskis' economic situation has changed for the worse. After the fall of communism, "Tane Caleski" lost its markets in the east and could hardly compete in Western markets. The company had to shed workers. After repeated privatisation attempts it finally went bankrupt.
At a certain point in the 1990s, both Kire and Ruza – who were still raising their two sons – had lost their jobs. Ruza Lazarovski remembers:
"It was difficult; we were both unemployed, but we had to facilitate education for our children… It started in 1994. First there were some dismissals; then we had the choice to leave the factory for a 24 month-salary severance pay."
The family had to struggle to survive. The times of holidays at Lake Ohrid are long gone.
In 2007, "Tane Caleski" tried to get off the ground again – equipped, this time around, with a new name ("Metallica Innen"), virtually no assets, Soviet-made machinery from the 1950s, and a workforce of 60 people. Lazarovski was one of the lucky few who were hired, albeit as a simple worker.
"I feel comfortable because we receive our salary regularly, we trust our leadership, and we believe in our success."
"Thank God we receive our salaries in time. I earn about € 150, which is not good, but o.k. for our standards. We will have to do additional work to survive."
May 2008

Kelly Osbourne and former Sugar Ray singer Mark McGrath will appear in the "Sharknado" sequel.
They should try to get Meryl Streep next.
The TV movie, directed by Antioch High School grad Anthony C. Ferrante, that centers on a freak storm that rains angry sharks on Los Angeles became a so-bad-it's-good phenomenon last year. The New York-based sequel will feature returnees Tara Reid and Ian Ziering, who will be joined by Osbourne, McGrath, Vivica A. Fox, Andy Dick and Judd Hirsch, according to Deadline.com.
Wait a second … a couple of those people had real careers.
According to WENN, McGrath will likely play the brother-in-law of Ziering's character Fin, while Osbourne has been cast as a flight attendant. Returning to his TV roots in "Taxi," Hirsch will play a cab driver in "Sharknado 2: The Second One." Filming will begin later this month, with the film expected to air this summer.

showing 1 to 10 of 35
on November 1, 2018 at 1:00AM
Gold Winner Makayla Lynn
Silver Winner Aquakultre
Bronze Winner Owen Meany's Batting Stance
Makayla Lynn is only 17 but she's putting all the pieces in place with regards to this making it big business. First of all, she got high school out of the way a year early with the help of correspondence courses. "I had to have been a hassle to my teachers," she says. "I was missing 100 days a year. It was always a game of catchup." She's been splitting her time between East Hants and Nashville, where she's calling from, for a few years. She won an ECMA in May for her debut album, On a Dare and a Prayer. It's all happening. "It's wild," she says of this BOH win. "Even just to ask people to take a minute from their day and vote for you when they might not have even met you. I appreciate it so much." Catch Lynn (while you still can, let's be honest) at one of her three shows this weekend at Nova Scotia Music Week in Truro.

Gold Winner The Mellotones
Silver Winner Roxy and the Underground Soul Sound
Bronze Winner Asia & NuGruv
The Mellotones have moved around a lot—hopping between three regular venues this year; they've just set up camp Thursdays on The Marquee stage and the band's many fans always find it. "The community supports us—we don't have to leave town every weekend or for months at a time to be a professional band," says Jeffrey Mosher, singer and saxophonist with the eight-piece outfit. The Tones celebrated 20 years as an entity last December at The Marquee, and on November 16 and 17 will do something a bit different at Neptune's Fountain Hall. "It's gonna be weird not having a dance floor," Mosher admits, "but I think our show translates to a theatre setting. There's lots to look at."

Gold Winner Rose Cousins
Silver Winner Kim Harris
Bronze Winner Quiet Parade
"Maybe you can feel all the feelings in the songs when it's quieter, you can feel them to the fullest—my songs have a lot of feelings," Cousins muses about her second-year-in-a-row gold win for Best Artist To Enjoy Quietly. She's "avoiding packing for England" when she answers the call, saying this past year has been full of writing songs and laying groundwork in the UK market. "I'm enjoying the lull that happens after releasing a record, and hunting and gathering new things." Though her year has been as quietly serene as one of her songs, Cousins adds she's honoured to be on steady rotation in many Haligonians' playlists, adding "I'm thankful that I'm even still on people's minds. Thanks for leaning in."

Gold Winner Jessie Brown
Silver Winner Black Moor
Bronze Winner Dumpster Mummy
Jessie Brown wound down (up?) last year with the release of her Jon Epworth-produced album, Keeping Appearances, which won an East Coast Music Award and is up for three at Nova Scotia Music Week this weekend. "I was honestly shocked. It meant a lot, especiallyin the rock category because I don't always know if it I fit in," says Brown of the ECMA. "I'm lucky the album resonated with people so personally. It's doing much better than I thought it would in the industry." On December 7, she'll join forces with Lor Sangster of Worst Part and a handful of local bands for Supporting Acts, a benefit show for Unison Benevolent Fund, at The Seahorse, echoing her album release show's fundraiser for Adsum House. "Thanks for letting me be a weird little loudmouth," she says to the readers, "with all my feelings."

Gold Winner Garrett Mason
Silver Winner Charlie A'court
Bronze Winner Shirley Jackson and her Good Rockin' Daddies
Garrett Mason keeps a low profile—no website or social media; his last Facebook post is from 2014—yet you manage to find him. Perhaps it's the siren song of his guitar, or maybe you were a fan of his dad Dutch, or it's that you've got a sadness beacon in you that draws you to him. Regardless, you always get to him—at Bearly's, mostly, but other places too—and you always vote for him. Will he find the blues in this victory? If anyone can….

Gold Winner Symphony Nova Scotia
Silver Winner Halifax Music Co-op
Bronze Winner Maureen Batt
"We're so honoured to win Best of Halifax again this year. Thanks to our community's enthusiastic support, we had an amazing year," says Symphony Nova Scotia's gold-gilded CEO Chris Wilkinson, adding two-thirds of the season was sold out. "It's such a privilege to serve as Nova Scotia's orchestra, and be part of our province's incredibly rich musical life. We're deeply grateful to our dedicated players, volunteers and supporters for making so much great music possible." Some of that upcoming great music includes a tribute to Gordon Lightfoot this weekend, Sarah Slean at the end of the month and the annual Nutcracker to-do in December.

Gold Winner Makayla Lynn
Silver Winner Brooklyn Blackmore
Bronze Winner Samantha Power
Makayla Lynn is so country she's calling from Nashville, where she's been on a writing trip. "I'm here for the next couple weeks, hanging out and writing music," says the East Hants native. Writing music means co-writing two songs a day, with different people each time. Maybe the songs will be recorded, maybe they won't. Right now it's all about the process. "Some of my biggest highlights of my career and my life have happened over the last year," says Lynn. "It's wild. The awards, different articles, a video on CMT. These little pinch-me moments that I'm sitting back, taking them all in."

Gold Winner The Mellotones
Silver Winner Signal Hill
Bronze Winner Shameless
"We get a lot of great opportunities to make a living as a professional band in Halifax," says Jeffrey Mosher, singer and saxophonist in The Mellotones. "That keeps us motivated, as do our levels of traditional R&B and funk music. The players in the band, that's the type of music we're interested in playing. A band that's been together for 20 years—it's a point of pride to keep it going." Two decades in, the city's need for the Tones shows no sign of waning, though prepare yourself now for next spring (when they head out on tour for two months as Matt Andersen's backing band). "One of our taglines is 'Thanks for dancing,'" says Mosher. "The music community, and the cities of Halifax and Dartmouth—we want to thank them for the support."

Gold Winner DJ IV
Silver Winner Zora the Sultan
Bronze Winner Pineo & loeb
DJ IV AKA Brian Pelrine calls in from the London, Ontario stop of Classified's national tour. While he waits to get on a new band bus, he discusses the things he thinks contributed to his nearly annual win as Halifax's Best DJ, primarily The Cut, the hip hop podcast he hosts with Catfish. Twenty episodes in, it's featured Classified, Quake Matthews, Shevy Price and Jo Run. "The one with Jo Run is amazing—he breaks down the whole history of where Halifax hip hop started." When not podcasting or DJing for Class—expect a big show in the new year—IV has monthly nights at Lion & Bright and Terri's Place in Lower Sackville. "I would love to thank the readers again for the continued support," says Pelrine. "Our city is full of talented DJs and artists and it means the world to me."
on November 1, 2018 at 1:00AM
Gold Winner Neon Dreams
Silver Winner Rich Aucoin
Bronze Winner Scientists of Sound
Neon Dreams nabbed Best Electronic and Best Pop Band this year, and the trio is happy to be slotted in either or both. "We've transitioned a lot from EDM but we're still very much electronic," says drummer Adrian Morris, ahead of a national tour opening for Ria Mae. "Our recording processes and in our live show, we're using samplers and a lot more digital elements." The rising-yet-humble radio stars—who made national news when they exited Hedley's arena tour after Jacob Hoggard was accused of sexual assault—appreciate the nod: "We just want to thank Halifax," says Morris, "for supporting us through a very rollercoaster of a year."

Lots of gamers threw their goodwill towards the various stunts and trailers that Disney spooled out for Wreck-It Ralph, even if they made fun of modern-day games.
All the hype paid off, with the Disney Animation film pulling in $49.1 million over the weekend, according to Box Office Mojo. That makes it the highest grossing film ever released by that division of the mega-corporation. One thing to note is that Ralph isn't a movie based on a game, like the Tomb Raider or Resident Evil movies. It's one that's about the medium and the love it engenders. That just might be the secret of its success.
