Inflatable Pontoon Boat Care Tips to be aware of
Taking care of your inflatable pontoon boat is one of your responsibilities as an owner. But the first step in finding out how you can adequately take care of your boat is by considering what type of pontoon boat you have. There are different kinds of varieties you can take into consideration. There are single and multi-person versions, and while a lot of experts would recommend the single types, it would entirely be up to your needs how to choose one best for your needs. Some of these types of inflatable pontoon boats are the following:
Frameless inflatable pontoon boats
If you have a frameless inflatable pontoon boat, it is excellent to be used and easy to be assembled that you won't need much effort to use one. You merely need to inflate the entire boat and then board it. It is also easy to carry wherever you want to set it up in the first place. Without having to affect its stability, this pontoon boat can carry larger weight capacity. And since it is stable, it can be navigated through rough waters.
Set-up of frameless inflatable pontoon boats only takes around 5 minutes to be complete. But of course, this would be dependent on how big the boat is and if it is not a single but a multi-person boat. It is usually integrated with wooden floorboard for more stability. This boat is perfect for the following fishing sports:
- Creeks
- Ponds
- Lakes
- Slow Rivers
- Ocean Bays
Inflatable pontoon boats with frames
Inflatable pontoon boats with frames are expected to be integrated with two large air bladders which are connected through a metal frame. Compared to the frameless inflatable pontoon boats, this one requires more effort and time for it to be assembled. While it is similar to the frameless version, this is preferred by lots of fishermen since it can easily be maneuvered and also more affordable in the market. More than that, it is also perfect for people who need to be closer to the water as part of their fishing style.
This type is unadvisable though if you want to carry heavier gear in the boat. In fact, if you use a motor system together with the boat, it may get unbalanced.
With these two types of inflatable pontoon boats though, how will you be able to keep them clean? Well, that's one of the best things about these pontoon boats. Unlike the standard wooden boat and the ones usually used today, pontoon boats don't need much taking care of. You just need to wipe all corners clean. The difference between the two types though is that you have to deal with cleaning the metal frame thoroughly and more than just it wiping down with a cloth.
Whether it is frameless or with frames though, one of the necessary things to do is to clean it right after use. You can use mild household products in cleaning the boat and environment-friendly solutions. But adequately taking care of your boat involves the following:
Cleaning your boat thoroughly
Your inflatable pontoon boat can accumulate a lot of dirt in time, which is why you should clean it at the very first chance you get after usage. But after cleaning it, you should use some sort of a protecting solution to protect the material. Some of the solutions you can clean the boat with are the following:
- Warm water with mild natural soap
- Freshwater after every usage
- Inflatable boat cleaner
When you spray your boat with a protecting solution, it is important to remember that you should avoid spraying into the aluminum frames if you have an inflatable pontoon boat with frames. It serves as some sort of sunscreen to ensure that the material your boat is made of is maintained to be strong and healthy.
Proper Storage of your inflatable pontoon boat
Properly storing your inflatable pontoon boat means you have to clean it first, dry it off with a towel, deflate it, and then store it away. Make sure to have it stored in a cool yet dry place away from direct sunlight.
NEVER drag your boat
If you want to properly take care of your boat and make it last, avoid dragging it even along the gravel. Ensure that it is nowhere close to sharp debris. However strong the material used for the boat is, in time, it is expected to wear and tear and so can become brittle.
What you can do instead is to carry the boat or use a wheeled cart to place it where you want to set it up and use it.
Inflatable Pontoon Boats FAQ
Inflatable pontoon boats are perfect for fishing. It is convenient to use considering how fast and easy it can be assembled and used. If you have more questions about these boats, here are some basic FAQs to guide you in your search for the perfect boat.
Why should you choose inflatable pontoon boats?
Inflatable pontoon boats are highly convenient to use, which is one of the primary reasons why people choose them over other kinds of boats offered in the market. It is easily portable and can be assembled wherever it is needed.
These inflatable pontoon boats are also durable, which is why coupled with its convenience, it is one of the best options for people. But of course, its durability and quality would be dependent on how much the budget your spared for the boat itself.
What are the materials they are made of?
These inflatable pontoon boats are commonly made from the following materials:
- Hypalon
- Polyurethane
How stable are these inflatable pontoon boats?
Inflatable pontoon boats are stable and are actually wider than other boats. Its stability comes from the material it is made up of, as well as its size.
What can I do if the inflatable pontoon boat has leaks?
Since these kinds of boats are inflatable, there is a probability for leaks. If you want to find a leak in the boat, simply mix water and soap, put it in a spray bottle, and spray on the area you believe has the leak. You can be sure of the leak if you see bubbles for or if you hear hissing.
Repairing these leaks can be as easy as using waterproof glue to pin small hole or having the manufacturer of the boat patch over a large tear. This is why it is necessary to avoid any tear and punctures as much as possible.
In order to avoid tears, ensure that there are no creases whenever you inflate your boat. Use the maximum PSI in inflating it to avoid these creases because these may cause puncture and tear in the future. Another way to avoid this is to keep it in a cool and dry place. Never leave it out in the cold or exposed to direct sunlight.
Can I use this inflatable pontoon boat for fishing?
Inflatable pontoon boats can be used in fishing primarily due to how portable it is and convenient to be used. It is also stable enough for fishing, especially if you choose the best ones on the market.
Storing an inflatable pontoon boat
Stowing your inflatable boat deflated.
Keep it off the floor in your garage, to prevent the mouse from chewing holes in it.
Do ensure your inflatable boat is clean and dry before rolling it up and store it for several months.
Else, when you unroll it in spring, there will be a booming community of the micro-organisms from the lake, river, pond or ocean.
Don't neglect your boat out in the shed
your shed being out in the elements will get hot in the summer and cold in winter time.
It is recommended to keep your boat ship worthy by storing it in your house closet, or in the garage off the floor. Else with a couple of years of neglect in the tin shed, inflatable or otherwise, you will encounter problems when you bring out your boat.
Stowing your inflatable boat inflated.
Keep your inflatable boat full and firm with air, and you will have no trouble with your boat.
The inflatable boat gets its strength from the air inside of its tubes. Do pump some air into it once in a while. Never ever keep it half inflated; this is worse than lying in on the ground for the mouse to chew.
Imagine leaving your inflatable boat rigged with motor for months of neglect, only to find your boat with the transom ripped off on a nice day for boating.
Either keep your boat clean and dry, fully deflated, and store it above ground or keep it fully inflated, pumping in air to keep it firm occasionally.
If you're trailering your boat, do check it frequently throughout winter and cover it with a good cover like Carver or Sunbrella. Whenever it needs air, pump it firm will do.

There's some disparity between the proper origins of the term "Allston Christmas." Vanyaland explored whether its source lies with the days before the city's annual Sept. 1 move when the neighborhood streets are littered with discarded goods for the taking — or is it the day after Thanksgiving when the Harvard Avenue barkeeps hang their holiday decor?
Either way: This has nothing and everything to do with both.
RELATED:Harry and the Potters celebrate the Yule Ball's 11th year
Local indie rockers Kitner called up some of their pals two weeks ago to make "A Very Allston Christmas Vol. 1," a mix tape featuring Boston acts playing renditions of their favorite holiday tunes. Conor Maier of Brighton says the idea came to him and bandmate, Christine Atturio, while passing an acoustic guitar over Christmas classics two weeks ago.
"It's fun to play Christmas music," says Maier. "And we thought, wouldn't be sweet if we got our friends to play their favorite songs, too?"
RELATED:Mighty Mighty Bosstones go next level this year with their annual Hometown Throwdown
They went on to hit up band friends via text and at local shows, and within days were able to piece together a collective 10-track holiday album featuring the likes of Magic Magic, Big Nice and Birdwatching. Each band's recording was done at home and e-mailed in to Maier, who uploaded the complete works to Bandcamp, where it's available to download for free with original album art by Atturio.
Maier plans to make the album an annual recurrence, and hopes to bridge to a Christmas-theme show next year. It's all in the holiday spirit for now, but will he eventually cash in?
He says, "Maybe we'll do some tapes."

"My Grandfather Knew Why We Run from the Dark"Written by
Estimated reading time — 11 minutes
I always admired my grandfather's courage. He had fought in the war on what we nowadays think of as the wrong side, but he had never been a believer in the cause. Sometimes a rifle is pressed in your hand and your choice is either to fire and worry about being shot from the front, or not to fire and be sure that you'll be shot from behind.
He was young when he was drafted, barely 16. Before he left he gave his first kiss and a promise to a girl. She waited five years until the end of the war, surviving on just five or six letters that she kept as treasure.
The war ended but even the defeat was celebrated. Not openly, but in the hearts and eyes of the people. People never wage war, it is politicians that wage war. No soldier that ever stood in the line of a rifle believes that war is heroic, only those divorced from reality, those that sit in tidy offices, those dream of war.
Soldiers came home with thin bodies and bandaged limbs. They hugged their wives and women before they fell onto beds and relived the front in dreams that made them toss and turn and wake up from their own screams.
His girl watched with tears in her eyes while her sister and mother each welcomed their men home. She heard the men scream at night and each scream lodged a stone in her throat. She prayed that the man she had kissed did not have to scream and then she prayed that the man she had kissed was alive enough to scream. Then she prayed for forgiveness for her selfishness.
The other men, when they came, were often so thin that their women, when they welcomed them, were scared of hugging them too tightly for their spines or ribs might break. Especially those that came from the East were thin, the skin of their faces sunken into their cheeks.
Two years after the war a scarecrow knocked on her door. An old man, forty at least, the arms thin like bare bones, a hard and dirty beard that had long stopped growing for want of nutrition and his skin a gray with blue and black patches. His lips stretched into a black-toothed smile. She stepped back into the house. The door was closing fast.
"Wait," he said. "It's me."
Even after hot meal and shower and shave she still recognized nothing except his eyes and the shape of his nose. It took two weeks before she thought that he was true and another two before she was sure.
Sometimes, on those days where she took him along to the market, the sellers called him her father. The man in the leather chair had to ask her twice and then demand another witness to make sure that he was the man he claimed to be and not his father or uncle or another older relative.
The war had stolen his youth.
When my grandfather spoke about the war he never spoke about his experiences. He spoke in the abstract, the way you speak about a movie or a book, not even the way you speak about history.
"They were overrun. Hundreds of kilometers, there was no resistance at all. Then General Winter, as the Russians call it, attacked."
"The troops still got further. There were villages, poor people. It wasn't a choice; the supplies weren't coming. Everything was taken. All those that didn't run were shot."
Sometimes he talked about the early phases of the war, when everybody was hopeful, when things were going far too well and easy. He always said, not with pride but in a matter-of-fact way, that the war would have been won if it had been against one or two or five countries, rather than against half the civilized world.
But my grandfather refused to speak about the things that happened at the end and after the war. When he was asked he didn't reply. He only shook his head and looked away.
My grandmother said that she heard strange things when he was asleep. She heard him begging for food and water, for a blanket. She heard him beg that someone stop. She heard him beg that someone let him go. She heard him beg for forgiveness.
As long as I can remember I asked my grandfather about the war. Despite his warnings, for me those were stories of adventure and courage. I only heard when he spoke about trenches and gunfire, not when he spoke about catching rats for food and drying puddle water and trousers so soiled that it was better to rub them clean with mud and dry them in the rare moments of sun than to leave them as they were.
I didn't understand that my questions hurt him, that I forced him to relieve a time that he would have given an arm to forget.
And yet, all those times when I made him tell stories in his odd unemotional and descriptive way, he refused to speak about the end. Once I baited him enough to say that he did not remember how he got home; sometimes riding on trains and sometimes by foot, but always just following the direction of the setting sun until he stumbled upon street signs that he finally could read.
He came from far in the East. Places he either did not remember or did not want to remember. And every time I asked his stories ended with the village that they pillaged, where they condemned men and women and children to death because they themselves did not know how else to survive.
As said, I always admired my grandfather for his courage. He paid that war with his youth and on his return decided that, for this heavy price, he at least wanted to be a good man.
I could recount countless times when I saw him, an old man by then, chase down young rascals that had egged a house or stolen a handbag. He jumped in when neighbors needed help. He passed a burning house and thought he heard a child caught still inside. He told me to stay where I was and without a thought slammed his shoulder into the door until it broke from its hinges and he himself disappeared in black smoke. In the end there was no child that needed to be saved. My mother called him a fool for breaking his shoulder like that. For me he was a hero.
My grandfather taught me that we all dream of being courageous but that very few of us take our chance to be a hero when it is offered to us. In our lives we pass countless times where we could save, but we drive past and look for excuses. "I have to hurry home." "It didn't look that bad." "Others were helping already."
Being scared and comfortable is easier than being courageous. And to make ourselves feel good we imagine the heroic acts we would have done if we had had the time or if it had been that bad or if others hadn't been there.
There was only one thing my grandfather was scared of. Dark rooms.
Their house had a basement but they rarely, if ever, used it. There were strong lights installed and the light switch was outside the basement door, but there was nothing inside except for old furniture never to be used again and a few old tires that should someday have made a swing.
My grandmother did not mind entering the basement, but he forbade her to use it.
"There are things," he said. "That live in such darkness."
At night he made sure that everyone else was upstairs and in their rooms. He turned the flashlight on and the living room lights off and, faster than he should have moved in his age, hastened up the stairs.
The guest room was right next to their bedroom. So many times and years I heard him run up those stairs, slam the door and breathe heavy air into his lungs. My grandmother never complained. She never told him that he had to stop or that he was risking his life.
She understood. She knew. He had told her.
My father's parents had died in a car accident when I was young. For me they are a hazy memory, more photos than people. That might be why my mother's parents were so important for me. They were my personal grandparents, the ones I had and the ones I loved.
They had always been very healthy. When I was young my grandfather still ran and played soccer with me. But in the last few years their age was beginning to take its toll. I noticed that they lost their ability to focus, then their ability to remember recent events, then their ability to remember me.
My grandmother and grandfather still followed their routine. They cared for themselves and didn't need our help except for tax matters and other administrative duties that some government official had decided needed to be complicated. My parents visited often to make sure that the house was in order and food in the fridge. They kept me updated on my grandparents' health and happiness.
For Christmas I finally managed to visit. It's not a nice thing to admit but my parents and I – with my mother as her parents' only child and me as my parents' only child – made sure to be there and not have any other plans because we thought it might be the last Christmas that we would have together as a family. I was happy to see them and hug them again. I felt guilty, in a way, that I hadn't provided any great-grandchildren yet and had not even a girlfriend or wife to present.
I was surprised how confused they were; that they did not remember who I was. My grandparents did not seem to remember my parents' names either, but they still recognized their faces. I was a stranger, face and name alike and during the meals and songs and conversations I felt as if I was an intruder in bygone lives that they were reliving with glassy eyes.
It was the 26th of December. My parents and grandmother went to see the Christmas market. I stayed home with my grandfather and his aching knee to drink tee and play scrabble.
I was in the kitchen when he called out.
With the teapot I walked back into the living room. He sat in his armchair, upright, his eyes suddenly clear and right on me.
"Son!" he said again, loud and forceful.
"Make sure the lights are on."
"Sure, grandpa."
I walked towards the light switch. His eyes followed me.
"They come when the lights are off," he said. "You know that, right?"
"I'm not sure who comes, but I'll keep the lights on for you."
His voice was not frail anymore; it thundered through the room.
"They come! Those things! I told you about them!"
I turned the light on.
"I don't think you told me," I said. "I'm not sure what you mean."
"Don't fool me, boy!"
"I'm sorry, I really don't know what you mean."
"Oh, I told you. I know I told you. I taught you to keep the lights on."
"You told me to keep the lights on, but you never told me why."
There was anger in his face.
"Why? Why? I saw them and I saw what they do to us and you doubt me?"
"You saw things in the dark?"
"Three years I saw them. Three years they held me and the others."
"I never heard about that."
"Oh," he said. "Then you should."
That evening, in less than twenty minutes, my grandfather told me about his last years at the front.
One year before the war ended they were ordered to retreat. They fled in small groups through the countryside they had pillaged and burned just weeks before, past houses with the frozen dead still inside.
There was a church, he said, a large old church made of stone. It was the only building still intact in the village, the only place to seek shelter from the wind and cold.
They made a fire with old church benches and sank to their sleep right next to it. Seven men in total, two injured and moaning and the other five just scared and weak.
My grandfather said he woke up from screams all around him. The room was pitch black. The stone floor was moving under his body. He struggled to get on his feet – and only then realized that his feet were being held. The floor was still; his feet were being pulled.
Then he too screamed.
He said they were pulled down stairs. His weapon and knife were gone. Then he heard more people, moaning and screaming. A suffocating stench punched into his lungs.
He was thrown onto a heap of warm bodies. Something bit his leg and he kicked and a man screamed in pain.
The room was pitch black. Another man was thrown on him. A door fell shut and was locked.
He said they moved away from the heap of bodies, but the cold soon drove them to get closer. Every few minutes somebody screamed. He could hear flesh ripping and teeth grinding.
He said there must have been hundreds of people. He said they tried to hammer against the metal door and scream for help and the voice of an old man laughed at them from behind. He said in broken German that the door was thick and nobody there that could hear them.
But once every while the door opened. Something dark moved inside and when it came inside the room grew cold and the humans moved closer to one another. My grandfather said he felt the energy being drained from his body and a panic and dread rise in his soul.
Soon the dread started even before the door opened.
They all adapted. There was no problem with water. It ran occasionally down the walls and if it was not licked off it accumulated on the floor to join with the layers of excrement and sweat. He said that he tried to hold out, but that after days of hunger you choose desperate measures. He said that he never killed one there, that he only took pieces from those that had died or at least those that he thought had died.
Every few days more were thrown into the room. Every few days there was a struggle, some of the old against some of the new.
They tried to stay together, the brothers in arms that had fought together, but soon that too broke apart.
He said that some day the number of new people started decreasing. There were only a rare few and the numbers in the room dwindled. He sat for most of the time on a higher stone, one that the others seemed to not have found. He only climbed down when he knew that a struggle had ended, that one was dead, that something could be eaten.
But no matter the struggles, every time when the dread came and the door opened, they all huddled together. They all felt the same exhaustion and cold and panic in their souls.
And then, one day, long after no more new people arrived, when only three or four or five were left, there were footsteps outside. He was scared because he didn't feel dread. The door opened and a man with a torch stood there. A gun fell from his hand and his mouth opened and he ran and scrambled up the stairs and he threw up while running.
The door was open. There was a glimmer of light from upstairs. That was how my grandfather left. He said he didn't turn to look who or what he left behind. Something behind him scrambled up the stairs too, but he was the first to get out and he was the first to reach the forest and eat grass and bugs and other things that he found close to the ground.
He found a piece of cloth first, then a rotten uniform on a corpse and later, when he had scrambled far enough and when his strength returned, he found a village and stole a dry uniform from a laundry line and a bag of potatoes from the same place.
"I don't know what they are," he said. "But they live from the warmth and spirit we leave behind."
I nodded.
"They live off us," he said. "Do you understand? They need you to exist. They want to catch you. They want to drain you. They want that you forget about the light."
"The light?" I asked.
"Yes," he said. "The light. They held us in the darkness. Three years they drained me and lived off me and made me do things I don't even want to think again."
He cleared his throat.
"And," he said. "I know what that dread feels like. It is not like any other. It is at the core of your being, you feel it in your spine and back and gut. Three years I felt it and after that it never went away."
"It never went away?"
"Of course it didn't," he said. "Because they always stay. They always wait. They will always be there, consuming what spirit you leave behind, and hoping that one day you become careless, that you forget about the light. And then they strike."
I glimpsed outside, where the world was slowly turning gray.
"They are here, right now?"
My grandfather nodded.
"They wait," he said. "They come and consume what we leave. But they hope for more. They hope that one of us grows careless and ignores the dread. They wait until one of us stays when the room is dark."
We sat quietly, his eyes meeting mine.
"Okay," I finally said.
"Good," he said.
He nodded silently, then looked outside. A moment later his eyes seemed glassy again.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
He turned to me and frowned.
"Who are you?" he asked.
It was the last conversation that I truly had with him. Since January his condition got worse, he talked about dead men. He spoke about hunger and fear. He asked for the girl that he had kissed when he was 16 and neither he nor she noticed that the girl sat right next to him, patting his hand.
I loved my grandfather. I miss him. I wish I had been there rather than a six hour drive away and that I could have taken care of him rather than leave him alone. I wish that it had been me or my parents and not the girl that waited seven years for his return that had to find him.
But most of all, and I know that sounds cruel and wrong and selfish, I wish that he would have died in his bed or in the hospital, during the day.
I wish so much that she didn't have to find him in the morning, on the living room floor, with the flashlight off and his mouth wide open.

After years of prophetic silence, God announced the birth of John the Baptist to one faithful couple. As Alistair Begg explains, the announcement illustrates the mystery of God's work throughout history. The events surrounding the birth of Jesus remind us that the providence of God can be seen at work in ordinary events, both good and bad.

It is already common to hear about mobile phone owners complaining about their batteries. In fact, there is even a good chance you are one of them. There are times when even if you made sure to get a great phone like maybe an LG G3 and you still experience the same problem. Why do you think so? Do you think that it is a manufacturer's problem? If that is the case, then why are there so many complaints? Yes, most likely it is not a problem from the way the phone is made but instead, of how it is used.
It is just a good thing though that if you are looking for an lg g3 battery, you can easily shop for one online. There are now a number of online shops that provide tech accessories and one of them is the Mobile Mob. You should check them out.
Regardless, you might still need these tips on how to maximize the battery of your mobile phone.
Turning off vibrations
We all know that vibrations entail a good amount of your battery. Thus if you really have to use this feature, make sure that it is only on a situation where it is a must like maybe you need to put your phone on a silent mode in your workplace and so on.
Heat exposure
Do you know that the battery of your phone will be easily drained when always exposed to the heat of the sun? This is really true thus if you are in a very hot area, be sure to keep your phone inside your pocket or maybe inside your bag.
Dim the screen
This is of course self-explanatory. Every time your phone lights up, it uses your battery and thus when not in used, you should dim it. There are now features in some phone where its light will adjust on its own depending on what you are doing like if you are reading for example.
Radio and GPS
Most of mobile phone users only consider turning off the Bluetooth of their phone. This is right of course as this can also conserve your battery. However, the same thing should be done with its radio and GPS as both features can also eat up your battery.
Turn the phone off
You should only do this though if you will not use the phone for hours. But if not, then might as well just dim it. Note that turning the phone on, can use up a lot of your battery. But if you happen to be in an area without reception, then might as well turn your phone off to preserve the battery.
Again if you are looking for mobile phone batteries and other tech accessories, you can check out Mobile Mob. They have almost all types of tech accessories for all the leading brands out there like for Apple, Samsung and so on. They only sell quality products.

I just got back from a funeral. At my age funerals are to be expected, but he was four years younger than me and a lot fitter, so I was not expecting to attend this one.
I went to a funeral and had some beers, because he was the kind of person who would appreciate you sticking around, meeting the other survivors and having a few beers. Thoughts occur.
There is a process of loss that you have to grow up enough to handle and which is so very much a part of growing up that it almost defines it. As you get older, the world that you considered fixed and entirely yours either ceases to exist (where the hell did the technology of my childhood disappear to?) or becomes the property of interlopers. That last part is crucial. There is a scene at the end of the Brat-pack film "Saint Elmo's Fire" where the teenage protagonists go back to the student bar where they used to hang out and find younger versions of themselves sitting at their table. They understand that this is no longer their space and move on. That happens to me all the time and it will happen to all of you
and that is fine.
The first reaction is negative, because those toys were mine, that space was mine. My children were born there and I grew up on that street. I pretty much invented being here and doing that. We come to believe that we own things by simply having made use of them, having celebrated crucial moments of our lives there. We expect that bond to last forever, but of course it does not. The young, foreign and different will inherit everything that you currently think uniquely yours, change it in ways you cannot envisage and become, as you once were, trapped in believing it theirs alone.
The world will roll on and you will not persist,
and that is fine.
At the funeral were hordes of people that cared about the person I knew as a colleague. He was gone and all that remained were his children and photographs
and that is still fine.
So we should, as always, seize the day for we will not persist and very little that we know or believe to be ours will remain. That is our nature and understanding that is what makes you a grown-up.

Chris Martin has said it doesn't bother him if people don't like Coldplay because he's not trying to impose a "fascist regime".
The singer said: "For every new fan you get, you get another person who thinks you're shit. And, being British, we're always aware of both sides. So we try and put blinkers on." He added:
I don't care if someone doesn't like us, that's fine. Go watch TV or listen to Oasis. Whatever. It's music, not a fascist regime that we're trying to impose. It's completely fine not to like us.
In an interview with Concrete, Martin added that whenever the band write songs, they always have headlining Glastonbury in mind. "[Glastonbury] for us is as close as we can get to having a home, albeit one that only exists once a year," he said, adding, "when we're writing and we're putting stuff together, when we close our eyes, that is the view that we see.
"We've written an awful lot of acoustic things but in my head I'm always conscious of the Glastonbury stage. So the things that I don't think would work there don't make it."
Last week Coldplay revealed that the flashing LED wristbands used on their last tour cost the band £400,000 a night. Guitarist Jonny Buckland said that the flouro-light wristbands given to fans, which lit up during the performance, were more expensive than they bargained for:
"Every night I think it's about £400,000! It looks amazing, it just makes everyone have a great time, most of all us and it just feels so magical…Even if you don't like our music now, I would say come to the show just to see that – wear earplugs, bring a book and when the lights come on have a look!" he said.
The band are set to play the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Paralympic games on September 9.

What inspires you?
I firmly believe that, no matter our circumstances, we can take steps to craft the lives we want. No matter how small the action, progress is progress. My every video, Facebook post and Instagram pic is meant to inspire and reinforce that conviction.
Sweet memories?
When I have an Oatmeal Creme Pie, I'm taken back to carefree summers at my granny's house, surrounded by cousins. Her screen door really got a workout.
Words you live by?
I sign off every video with "Life is what you make it. Let's get our hands dirty!" because we have the power to build our dream lives.

I'm jumping on the bandwagon for The Next Big Thing Meme today.
The Next Big Thing is a blog chain in which authors can answer a list of questions about their current or upcoming novel. I don't think you should restrict yourself to novels for this, necessarily. If you're working on a short story, novelette, or something else, consider yourself recruited to participate.
(Post a note in the comments with a link to your own blog if you choose to participate. I want to hear about what you're working on!)
1. What is the working title of your next book?
Wake the Dead is the name of the first book in The Neverafter Sequence.
2. Where did the idea come from for the book?
The proliferation of teenagers in books with special gifts, special powers, special abilities, etc. that are unknown and suddenly become known to them pisses me off. These protagonists find themselves thrust into impossible situations, and most of the time they don't even use their "gift"s to get out of trouble. They rely on someone or something else, and at the end, they walk away scot free.
It's a trope I'm totally sick of.
I wanted to write about a character who was against the normative herd, a little bit of an outcast, and who above all did not want to be a hero. I wanted to write a character who experiences inner conflict about the decisions she makes, who makes mistakes, who suffers for them, and who finds herself in a situations where the possibility of prevailing darkness is an absolute reality. I want her success to be plausible, and if it's not a possibility, then sacrifices must be made.
High stakes. Long histories. An epic villain. Great supporting cast. All necessary requirements for a good story.
I wanted to witness how she'd survive something that would change the world, and I wanted her to respond as a mortal would to the powers that are intent on fucking her over.
The end result was Eden Pearce. Age seventeen. New York born, but currently living in London. Wears her eye makeup like a soldier wears armour. She's generally pissed off at the world, and she's about to have a ton of trouble thrown at her.
3. What genre does your book fall under?
It's a horror novel that dabbles in dark urban fantasy for young adult readers. I deal with supernatural elements, folklore, and lean on setting quite heavily, so it does carry elements that would situate it as a gothic horror as well.
4. What actors would you choose to play the part of your characters in a movie rendition?
I haven't found any actress who's enough of a badass to portray Eden as of yet. (When I come across her, I'll let you know.) The same goes for Graves and Fell, though I definitely see Iwan Rheon as Holt.
5. What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
I'm saving the pitchy-marketing stuff for the end. You'll just have to wait this one out, I'm afraid.
6. Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?
I'm leaning towards self publication, but I might query to get my feet wet. (I like the prospect of complete control over the marketing and design of the books.) I'm not against either route, but the decision will be made when I have the completed work in hand and I can gauge if it might fare better entering the world through traditional means or otherwise.
7. How long did it take you to write the first draft of the manuscript?
Still working on it. 😉 I've been writing since autumn this year, and plans for the second book as well as three prequels have fallen into place in the meantime.
8. What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
There is a little bit of Cassie Clare's Mortal Instruments influence in here, a little Diviners, a little Anna Dressed in Blood.
9. Who or what inspired you to write this book?
I visited Highgate Cemetery in London a little while ago and fell in love. I started researching the area's folklore and stumbled into a legend that offered the foundation for some of Wake's backstory. The plot fell out of it, really.
Largely, I was taken with the atmosphere of the cemetery. There isn't any place in the world like it. It's a little magical, and very quiet in the way that cemeteries are.
It's a lovely place to host a haunting.
10. What else about the book might pique the reader's interest?
Well, if a vampire, a werewolf, and a zombie were to walk into a bar… I'm kidding. The cast of characters is fairly large, and there is an extended cast with their own stories waiting in the wings. I'm really excited for them to share their stories with you, but it's not yet time to give their secrets away.
I write about monsters, predominantly. I think there's an interesting aspect to creature features when they're held against humankind and the horrors that we're capable of.
It's sometimes difficult determining which is worse: us or them, but it makes for an interesting dialogue when one thinks it's better off than the other.

On stardate 2261.234, a quantum rift in the Campor system pulled incarnations of the starship USS Enterprise from parallel universes into an unknown region. During the event, three male Klingon Starfleet officers – an operations division ensign, a science officer lieutenant and a command division commander - materialized briefly on the USS Enterpriseparallel alternate reality. Unaware that they had left their own Enterprise, these officers fired their phasers at Commanders Spock and Spock and Lieutenant Nyota Uhura. The Klingons vanished seconds later. (TOS - Parallel Lives comic: "Part 2")
IKS Varchas personnelEdit
Beta IIEdit
In 2266, a group of Klingons lured the USS Enterprise to Beta II with fake ore deposits so they could capture Captain James T. Kirk and replace him with a duplicate. However, the Enterprise crew mutinied against the duplicate Kirk and pursued him when he fled to Beta II, where they exposed the Klingon plot and rescued the real Kirk. (TOS comic: "The Enterprise Mutiny")

24th centuryEdit
IKS Kothulu commanderEdit
The Commander was a Klingon male of the mid 24th century, the captain of the IKS Kothulu. By 2365, the Commander had been held in such high esteem in Klingon society that he was rarely addressed by his name, but instead by his rank.
In 2365 the Kothulu picked up Kreel activity on the planet DQN 1196. The Kreel had discovered a cache of advanced weaponry left on the planet by the Cognoscente. They used these weapons to first attack the landing party sent to investigate their activities, then to attack the Kothulu itself, severely damaging the vessel in the process. Realizing that he had a duty to live and inform the Empire of the Kreel's acquisition of advanced weaponry, the Commander ordered a retreat from DQN-1196.
After repairs were made to the Kothulu, the Commander was ordered to take Ambassador Kobry to a rendezvous with the USS Enterprise-D, so that diplomatic talks could begin with the Kreel. While en route to meet with the Enterprise, the Commander held a private meeting with Kobry in which he insinuated to his first officer Tron that Kobry should be assassinated. This way the Kreel would be blamed for Kobry's death, the peace talks would break down, and war could continue with the Kreel.
Fortunately Kobry survived Tron's attack. Kobry informed Captain Jean-Luc Picard that Tron would be dealt with, and that the Commander would probably also have to answer for his role in the assassination attempt. (TNG novel: Strike Zone)

The evening of the kill, while they sat by their campfire in the cave the targ was killed in, the boy recounted the tale of his kill to his grandfather. The grandfather chastised the boy for exagerating the events of the hunt and his actions, and told him the Story of Gorath to illustrate why he should not boast about his accomplishment but be proud of what he had truthfully done.

Loop width control is a recurrent topic in casting instruction. Several aspects govern loop width, but "matching casting arc to rod bend" is what instructors use the most; so "if your loops are too wide narrow your casting arc" is the usual fix we offer.
Let's say that I am bass fishing with a popper knotted to a short, stout leader, followed by a bass taper #7 weight line. I want to cover a very promising spot, just a small hole among low hanging branches, which asks for a side cast with a narrow loop.
First try… my line crashes against a branch; I need to narrow the loop considerably. So keeping everything equal I decrease my stroke angle… and the loop fails to straighten. What has happened?
Think of you starting your car. You accelerate by pushing the gas pedal and your car increases its speed. After covering a distance of, say, 20 meters, the car has gained some speed. If you keep pushing the gas pedal the speed attained after covering a distance of 50 meters will be even higher. That is, for the same force the longer the distance over which that force is applied the higher the attained speed.
So back to rod and line in the example above, if you decrease your stroke angle you have decreased the total distance your rod tip has travelled; now you are applying the same force –pushing the pedal equally– along a 20 meters long distance instead of a 50 long one; the result, obviously, is less line speed.
Well, if by decreasing stroke angle I fail to unroll my line completely I obviously need more rod tip speed to fix that.
So —with the narrow loop I need in mind— I keep that same reduced stroke angle but increase the acceleration applied to the rod to gain that lost line speed due to having decreased the distance covered by the rod tip. But, hold on one second! In that way I will get a tailing loop!
More acceleration applied to the same mass results in more force –F = m.a–, and more force results in more rod bend, and a basic principle of casting mechanics says that we have to match casting arc to rod bend! So although I started that cast thinking of decreasing the casting arc, actually I am forced to increase it to get a good loop!
So on the next try I increase the force and also increase the stroke angle to accommodate a bigger bend in the rod. The result of increasing the force and widening the angle is similar to pushing the gas pedal further down and covering even more distance: much higher line speed… and my popper curves to the left hooking a branch, as a result of an overpowered cast!
Fellow fly casting instructor Walter Simbirski has summarized it all on a recent comment to this article:
We use more arc to generate more line speed but we need to use more force in order to maintain slp over the larger arc but with the extra force we need less arc to generate the line speed but if we use less arc we get a tailing loop so we need to increase our casting arc but now we have a large loop so we need to increase force to flatten the rod tip.
Seems pretty simple to me. Why are you guys struggling with this?
Reducing casting stroke angle to narrow your loops doesn't work in isolation. No wonder that beginners have a hard time in controlling loop width, as it is a question of very fine-tuned adjustments –very subtle indeed– more than just varying casting arc.
Playing with loops by changing the casting stroke angle is fine; but play with force as well. And specially, with stroke length too, as this element is key and, however, it is the less understood of all them. But this is stuff for another article.

The Razor's Edge
At an early age, Sister Madly learned to master some heavy-handed life-hacks, such as respiration and how to use a bendy straw. But one such life-hack that continued to elude her throughout her childhood was how to properly utilize a knife in polite society.
One would think that with Sister Madly's inclination for all things medieval that she was born wielding the weapon- but this does not guarantee the corresponding intuition of proper knife utilization. Sure, Sister Madly knows the basic safety measures when harvesting human organs down in the secret sub-cellar, and no doubt she could become an expert in fancy knife theatrics in very little time (say, 60 years or so); one can even imagine her as a plucky little lass climbing a ship's rigging with a knife clenched between her teeth (difficult to do, by the way, without salivating like a St. Bernard.) Yet it took her a substantial amount of time to grasp the fundamentals of knife etiquette at the dinner table- to the point of embarrassment.
She often wondered why her parents had the nerve to serve her food that required a knife and fork when they knew that she was shamelessly incompetent with said knife and fork in the first place (even at that age, Sister Madly was conceited, lazy and naughty.) More often than not, Sister Madly contemplated eating these impossible meals with her hands, but that would probably result in another "you weren't born in a barn" lecture- although she couldn't quite understand why this was an insult, seeing as Jesus was born in a barn and some say that he is the Messiah.
The whole situation frustrated her mother the most. "Your father is not going to be there to cut your food for you when you're on a date, you know."
Sister Madly was actually rather pleased with this statement, as it assured her that her father would not be tagging along on her dates in later years. Still, that didn't make the food-cutting task any easier, with the fork held in a clumsy fist and the knife routinely falling to the floor; one could trace such behavior back to her Viking roots, which of course her mother would not understand since these roots are said to be paternal in origin.*
* While Sister Madly may exhibit barbaric tendencies, there is no actual proof that she is of Viking heritage as no one has been able to trace her family tree back more than 3 or 4 generations. But if it can't be proven, neither can it be refuted.
Then one evening, her father offered up this modest suggestion:
Switch hands.
At first, this seemed illogical. Why, things like pencils, pens, machetes, battleaxes and grenades automatically found their way into her right hand ever since she could remember; surely using a knife with her left would cause the rivers of the world to flow backwards while bringing about the apocalypse. While she was okay with that, Sister Madly still wanted the opportunity to go on a date at least once before the end of the world.
Still, her father had never deliberately steered her wrong (a quality that Sister Madly did not inherit, she is proud to say.) And it is quite possible that she would hit it off with one of the Four Horseman, should her dad be wrong- a date with Famine would most likely not result in sawing away at a stuffed pheasant in some fine French restaurant.
So she switched hands.
And it worked like a dream.
It was this bit of parental insight that has sustained Sister Madly into
maturity adulthood. Tasks that were next to impossible with her right hand have become effortless with her left, such as throwing a Frisbee, peeling vegetables, striking matches (again, totally inept until the moment she switched hands*) and most importantly, writing on mirrors in lipstick.
* Note: the sudden increase of mysterious fires around town the day after this discovery was purely coincidental.
Sister Madly has yet to go on a date where she is required to use a knife- to cut food, that is. There are other uses for a knife, you know.

Premier Value-Added Distribution Network Opens News Doors for Hyperconvergence and Flash Storage
ANNAPOLIS JUNCTION, MD – June 13, 2016 — /BackupReview.info/ — Promark Technology, an Ingram Micro company (NYSE: IM) and premier U.S.-focused value-added distributor (VAD), today announced it has signed a distribution agreement with Pivot3, a leading provider of innovative hyperconverged and flash storage solutions for the data center.
Under the new agreement, Promark will distribute Pivot3′s hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solutions and PCIe flash arrays to its growing base of channel partners in the United States.
Pivot3′s hyperconverged infrastructure solutions improve ROI for customers with higher storage and compute efficiencies while also providing higher usable storage capacity and improved application performance levels than both traditional infrastructure solutions and competing HCI vendors. With the recent acquisition of NexGen Storage — formerly a Promark partner — Pivot3 adds Quality of Service (QoS) and PCIe-based flash arrays to its innovative technology suite. For the first time, enterprise and mid-market companies will be able to apply the right infrastructure and priority to each workload, application or service according to business value.
"We are excited to leverage Promark's market expertise, distribution channels and world-class experience in effectively bringing solutions to market," said Jason Peoples, vice president of Worldwide Channels at Pivot3. "Our relationship will accelerate our go-to-market efforts with our channel partners, bringing smarter IT infrastructure solutions to a much wider set of customers. We're focused on building the best technology that provides value to our joint customers, supported by our Partner Program and Promark's reseller support infrastructure, for the best experience possible."
Pivot3 works with many different types of partners, including value-added resellers, service providers, infrastructure/data center providers and security integrators, all of which are drawn to more efficient internal processes and operations management offered by hyperconvergence. The company focuses on building the best technology that provides value to its joint customers supported by the award-winning Pivot3 Partner Program that enables partners to market, sell, install, configure, support and manage its technology with their services and expertise wrapped around it.
"We're pleased to play a valued role within Pivot3′s go-to-market strategy," says Dale Foster, GM & Executive Director of Promark Technology. "Both the hyperconverged and flash storage markets are increasingly appealing to our channel partners actively looking to broaden their solutions for virtualized workloads and round out their technology roadmaps toward more software-defined environments. Pivot3′s increasing success and highly differentiated technology put us in a great position to help customers take advantage of flash platforms and the emerging technology opportunity presented by HCI."

Adam Yauch, one of the founding members of the pioneering hip-hop trio the Beastie Boys, died Friday (May 4) at the age of 47 following a long battle with throat cancer. Yauch's death has rattled the music world to its core, with tributes already pouring in from the likes of Justin Timberlake and Russell Simmons to fellow hip-hop pioneers Run-DMC.
Since his 2009 cancer diagnosis, Yauch has stayed away from the public eye, often communicating with concerned fans through email, but during a period of remission, the Grammy-winning rapper stepped forward with his bandmates to release what would be his final album with the Beastie Boys, Hot Sauce Committee Part Two, and even won an MTV Video Music Award for his direction of the Beasties' "Make Some Noise" video.
Though he fought his battle with cancer privately, Yauch, a practicing Buddhist, always maintained a tight connection with the Beasties' fans and continued to work despite the difficult surgeries and treatments he faced. Below, we've taken a look back at the last few years of Yauch's life to showcase the one-of-a-kind music legend's perseverance in the face of such a difficult battle.
Remembering Adam Yauch with Beastie Boys' Essential Hits
July 20, 2009: Yauch announced in a video posted to BeastieBoys.com that he'd been diagnosed with cancer of the parotid gland, a salivary gland in the throat. "The reason we're here talking is because I have some pretty heavy news to say," Yauch said in the video. "About two months ago, I started feeling this little lump in my throat, like what you would feel if you have swollen glands or something like that, and so I didn't really think it was anything. ... They did tests, and I actually have a form of cancer in the gland that's over here, in the parotid gland, and it's also in the lymph node right in that area."
Yauch had surgery to remove the tumor and began radiation that same week. Due to his treatment, the Beastie Boys were forced to cancel their summer touring plans, including headlining gigs at the All Points West Festival and Lollapalooza, in addition to delaying the release of their album Hot Sauce Committee: Part One. The album was finally released in May 2011 under the title Hot Sauce Committee Part Two with a slightly altered track list.
August 5, 2009: In an email to subscribers of the Beastie Boys' newsletter with the subject line "What I did over my summer vacation," Yauch provided fans with an update on his treatment, writing, "So I'm about a week-and-a-half out of surgery now and rapidly recovering from it. ... My neck and jaw are still pretty stiff from the surgery, but it gets better every day. Had the stitches out this past Monday ... so things are moving along."
October 7, 2009: In another email to fans, Yauch wrote about his trip to Dharamsala, India, where he had traveled to see some Tibetan doctors and ended up attending a three-day seminar taught by Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama. "I'm feeling healthy, strong and hopeful that I've beaten this thing, but of course time will tell," Yauch said in the letter.
March 9, 2010: Yauch attended the Independent Spirit Awards and told reporters that while his recovery had been difficult, he was ready to get back to work. "I feel better. It was touch-and-go there for a while, but I am finally getting my energy back," Yauch said. "It was really disappointing to have to hold the record and postpone the tour, but doctor's orders. We may or may not [release the album], depending on how my health is come September. We want to, but we have to play it by ear."
September 28, 2010: The Beastie Boys receive their first nomination to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
January 21, 2011: "Fight for Your Right Revisited," a short film directed by Yauch that picks up immediately after the events of the Beastie Boys' classic "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party)" video, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. In the film, Elijah Wood plays Ad-Rock, Seth Rogen portrays Mike D and Danny McBride slips on Yauch's classic leather jacket to become MCA. "Revisited" begins with the Beasties crawling out of the trashed apartment while the original '87 tune plays in the background. They head down the stairs and immediately run into the parents of the kids whose party they crashed, played by Susan Sarandon and Stanley Tucci.
April 20, 2011: The video for "Make Some Noise," the lead single from the Beastie Boys' Hot Sauce Committee Part Two, debuted, marking the band's first new musical release since Yauch's cancer diagnosis. The clip was cut from Yauch's "Fight for your Right Revisited" short film.
May 3, 2011: Hot Sauce Committee Part Two hits stores nearly two years after the initial planned release of the project. It's still unclear which songs from the unreleased Part One made it onto the sequel. The album debuted at #2 on the Billboard albums chart.
July 20, 2011: "Make Some Noise" scores MTV Video Music Award nominations for Video of the Year and Best Direction for Yauch. The nominations brought the Beastie Boys' career total VMA noms to eight, which include a Video of the Year nod for the Beasties' 1994 Spike Jonze-directed classic "Sabotage."
August 28, 2011: Yauch wins the VMA for Best Direction for "Make Some Noise." The win is the third for the group, which previously scored a 1999 VMA for Best Hip-Hop Video for "Intergalactic" and the Video Vanguard Award in 1998.
December 17, 2011: It is announced that the Beastie Boys will officially be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
April 14, 2012: The Beastie Boys become the third hip-hop act inducted into the Rock Hall during a ceremony at the Cleveland, Ohio, museum. Though he was unable to attend the ceremony because he was receiving treatment for a recurrence of his cancer, his bandmates paid him a warm tribute and read a letter written by Yauch to the crowd. Fellow inductees the Red Hot Chili Peppers dedicated their performance at the ceremony to Yauch.
Tune in to MTV tonight at 8 p.m. for "Adam Yauch: Remembering a Beastie Boy," an hour-long special hosted by Sway celebrating the life and career of Adam "MCA" Yauch, including his biggest moments and remembrances from his friends and peers.

"Every once in a while you gotta get out in the streets and get a little bloody when necessary."
Since he's uttered those words, a conservative female activist in Washington DC was assaulted by a union thug, another conservative was called a "bad Jew." Another union brute told a cameraman he'd "f**k you in the ass you faggot." Today, a black Tea Party member was told she was on the "Koch Plantation."
Now, in Sacramento, CA, a Tea Party member was assaulted and injured by another union thug.
Chuck DeVore writes about the attack at Big Government.
Sacramento's ABC News 10 reported on the union rally and Tea Party counter rally in Sacramento today. ABC's online report makes cursory mention of an incident of union violence directed at Tea Party activist Rodney Stanhope: "Police cited one man
for battery after he allegedly shoved a tea party supporter."
I spoke to Stanhope, as he drove to the hospital for x-rays and treatment for the injuries sustained at the rally, and asked him what happened. Mr. Stanhope said that he was with a group of about 150 Tea Party activists across the street from the
MoveOn.org-organized union rally. A union man with a bullhorn, Richard Andazola, 28, was yelling across the street at the Tea Party activists, calling them "fascists."
Then one of the Tea Party activists, also bullhorn equipped, replied, "We pay your salary!"
This enraged Andazola, who, according to Stanhope, rushed the Tea Partiers, chanting "Fascists go home! Fascists go home!" He violently shoved Stanhope twice, the second time apparently striking Stanhope in the throat:
Somehow in the melee, Stanhope's hand was also injured
We will be posting more footage and further coverage once it becomes available.
Stay tuned for an in-depth write up from an eyewitness on the scene.
For all the alleged violence, racism and homophobia that the Tea Party movement has been accused of over the last couple of years (with no proof) we have, in one week, more documented video evidence of the Tea Party being the victims of violence, racism, and homophobia by Democrat allied union members.
But you won't find any mention of this on your cable news network.

There's been some sad news today: John and Edward – or Jedward, as they're known in these portmental days – are no longer signed to Sony. After one single they are ex-recording artists; their No 2 single is of interest only to pop historians. They've gone to tunelessly wail alongside, then dance in front of, the choir invisible.
There has been a certain amount of boo-hooing about how any act could be dropped after a debut single getting as high as No 2, but while single sales may be up in the iTunes era let's not kid ourselves that one week in the Top 10 is a guarantee of any long term success. A short burst of chart success for an act who were the most talked-about kids in pop just three months earlier does not suggest that Sony would have been well-advised to get stuck into an album campaign. Just remember poor old Steve Brookstein – the X Factor's first winner - who was dropped by Sony after a platinum debut album.
It might seem ruthless, but imagine the misery and wasted time and money that could have been spared if this practice were applied outside of X Factor acts. Take Hard-Fi, a band precisely nobody in their right mind could really have expected to ever get any better after their first album. What if their contract with Atlantic had been quietly knocked on the head after one album? Right now we're all watching MGMT's label beginning to flog a second album which the band themselves have breezily claimed contains "no singles". Would the world continue to spin if Columbia said to MGMT: "Do you know what lads? Thanks for the first album and everything but if you're going to turn in a follow-up with no singles and announce that to the world with some bizarre sense of pride then maybe it's best if you find someone else to throw millions of pounds at launching what is essentially a sonic turd in a basket"? Yes, the world would most certainly continue to spin.
As for Jedward, how bad is today's news? Well, you don't need a record contract to continue charging £5K for a three-song PA at a nightclub, freshers fair or shopping centre. You don't need a record contract to charge a hefty fee for panto, and you don't need a record contract to take up a role with ITV2 as The Xtra Factor's roving reporters. It's hardly The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle but look at it from the right angle and John and Edward got what they needed out of Sony and they can now get on with the job of simply "being John and Edward", a profession even they shouldn't find too much of a challenge.
