'Suits' star Patrick J. Adams talks show's return
Tonight, Suits returns to USA (10 p.m. ET) with the first of six new episodes. The last we saw of brilliant-but-fake associate Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), he was grieving the loss of his beloved Grammy, and he'd rallied to help top closer Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) and managing partner Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres) oust Daniel Hardman (David Costabile) from the law firm Pearson Hardman. But he was making a string of bad choices in his personal life including smoking pot again, and sleeping with his married ex Tess (Elisabeth Hower). His will-they-or-won't-they love interest Rachel (Meghan Markle), the firm's top paralegal, spotted Tess when she showed up at Mike's door to be his shoulder to cry on/have sex with. The entire series has been On Demand encouraging new fans to catch up with a marathon, and judging from Adams' Twitter mentions, it's been working. "As soon as people get to that last episode, they're just like, 'Dude, how can you screw this up so bad, over and over again?'" Adams says, laughing. "People are really frustrated with him and his inability to do what everybody thinks he should be doing." Where does Mike go from here? Here's what Adams has to say.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: The first two episodes back establish that Pearson Hardman is still at war, only now the attack is coming from outside the firm, and that Mike needs to get his s— together. There are some really tense scenes between Mike and Harvey. What was that like for you and Gabriel?
We have a lot of fun together, no matter what. So it was fun for us to take it more in that direction. Usually our serious scenes have been with other people, and now we really got to get into some darker stuff together, and we enjoyed that. That's going to be a continuing theme through these six episodes. Harvey is under a lot of pressure, and Mike is dealing with a lot of pressure, and eventually that sort of snaps. Without saying too much, there are gonna be a couple of situations where they get very, very frustrated with each other. We've seen Mike trying to figure out what kind of person he wants to be, and what kind of lawyer he wants to be — a lot of that's gonna come to a head, especially as Harvey is very stubbornly refusing to accept the reality that Pearson Hardman is in serious trouble. He's standing in the way of making that better. Toward the end of these six episodes, you're going to see a different Mike and Harvey. As they mature and become the different people that they are, that mentorship is gonna go from just being a bromance where they get along and have a great time, to where they really have different ways of doing things. I think we really leave the season in an interesting place.
Talking with creator Aaron Korsh, he said that Harvey and Jessica will disagree about the best way to stop the firm's woes, and that puts Mike in the middle.
It's fun. I feel like the season kind of bookends itself. Mike and Jessica don't get a lot of time together, but the season obviously began with us having dinner together, and in a lot of ways, we sort of come full circle. We find ourselves in this situation where Mike is really gonna have to choose between Jessica and Harvey in doing what he thinks is best for the firm, and for Harvey, and for Jessica. We all know that sometimes Harvey's stubbornness gets in his own way, so Mike is in an interesting position of having to make a call of what he thinks is the right thing to do. That causes a lot friction. The fact is, Jessica is Mike's boss and he has to listen to her, so we get to the see that power struggle and him choosing sides. Very rarely are Harvey and Jessica on different sides of the fence.
Having originally sided with Hardman, Louis (Rick Hoffman) is also in a tough position as the season resumes. That builds in the second episode, which, without spoiling anything, I'll just say made me tear up.
Louis is really being ostracized from the community of Pearson Hardman, but at the same time, Pearson Hardman is under such a threat that they need him back in the fold. I think Mike always has this really great relationship with Louis because he feels like the outsider as well. He sees that part of Louis, and he sees how Louis does that to himself. I think Mike's always trying to bring him back, like, "You don't need to ostracize yourself. Come be a part of the team." I think Louis slowly but surely might actually be listening to him.
I love watching Gabriel and Rick go at it. I think you're gonna have a lot of "tear up" moments in these last few episodes. I think the great thing about Suits is we never sit around and stay the same show. We're always pushing things forward. We pack a lot of stuff into these six episodes. We can jump between the funny, and the sad, and the heartbreaking, and the lust. We can do it all.
And speaking of lust, Aaron has said that Mike and Rachel are going to come a long way in these six episodes.
They've been going back and forth on this a long time. He's made enough mistakes at this point [Laughs] that he can hardly make any new ones. He obviously cares about her a lot, and she cares about him a lot. So you're gonna see some major movements forward. It's never gonna be as simple as them just deciding to be together, obviously, because there's a lot of extenuating circumstances. But, there are definitely some leaps forward changing up the situation, and heading into season 3, the stakes will be very high for the both of them.

Although at MobileSlots4U we always say that the mobile slots and other games – plus the size of the jackpots offered – are more important than the initial welcome bonus, we understand that not everyone shares this opinion. Because of this, we thought it would be really helpful to condense all of the different bonuses offered by the various mobile casinos into one easy-to-read page, so that you don't have to keep flitting all over the site to find the best bonus for you!
After much work, we have come up with this: The Definitive List of Mobile Casino Bonuses! It's taken a lot of research and a few sleepless nights, but we know that it will provide so much value to both old and new mobile slot players, so the effort is well worth it.

Moobile Games
Moobile Games – from the giant of mobile gaming, Probability – is a great mobile site for lovers of mobile slots. As well as great games though, they also have loads of bonuses and promotions, so they have the perfect combination for all mobile slot players! Their bonuses are:
- £5 Welcome Bonus. All new players receive £5 instantly, without needing to even make their first deposit on the site.
- 100% First Deposit Bonus. If you first deposit is less than £100, then Moobile Games will match it, therefore giving you twice as much money to play with!
- Refer a Friend Bonus. Although not as generous as the bonus offered by William Hill, the Refer a Friend bonus as Moobile Games is still worth £20 to you.
- Top Up Bonuses. These change all the time, but make sure you check back regularly as they can be worth rather a lot of cash!
- Won a Jackpot? If you have won a jackpot in the past, post details on the Moobile Facebook wall and receive a free £10 to play with.

Jackpot City Mobile
Jackpot City is one of the most popular mobile casinos in the United Kingdom, but like Hopa Mobile they don't offer many bonuses to their members. This must mean that their games are great though, as players just keep flocking to this site! Their bonuses are:

Steve Jobs' Musical History
Steve Jobs, who died of pancreatic cancer on October 5th, 2011, was instrumental in fundamentally changing the way people consume music. An important part of his digital revolution was cooperation with artists, for whom iTunes and the iPod are largely responsible for getting music to fans. As these photos show, over the years, Jobs teamed up formally or informally with musicians from U2 to Wynton Marsalis to usher in Apple's ever-evolving music product lineup.

Pure Hot Yoga Retreat
Kristine Murphy, Owner & instructor at Pure Hot Yoga in Calgary, hosted her second annual Yoga Retreat at the beautiful "Enchantment Resort" in Sedona, Arizona recently. Attended by 18 enthusiasts, the 4 day weekend was boasted a huge success.
Upon arriving in Phoenix early Friday morning, the group enjoyed a 2 hr scenic drive through the desert to Sedona & the Enchantment Resort. After a quick check-in process, we gathered on the lawn, shadowed by the stunning Red Rocks of Arizona, for a welcoming yoga session. The evening left individuals to dine and enjoy the resort at their leisure.
A hearty breakfast was served outside in the glorious sunshine at the Village before heading to the Enchantment Circle, our outdoor yoga studio, for a very challenging and fun class lead by Kristine. The incredible setting, amazing weather and superb instruction left students feeling peaceful yet energized for the remainder of the day! Owner of Boulevard Travel, Karen Smith, led a group of willing participants on an amazing hike up Bear Mountain. Only six hikers made it to the summit on that very hot afternoon, (Karen included) in record time! From the parking area to the top of Bear Mountain is approximately 2 1/2 Hrs one way – for the average hiker… this crew returned to the pool for a welcome dip and cold Mojitos in under 4 Hrs! This is quite a venture, as the total elevation gain is 1800 ft. The picturesque vistas speak for themselves.
Others attending the retreat relaxed poolside, roamed the quaint nearby town of Sedona, or pampered themselves in the resorts large spa area equipped with sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and a variety of specialty treatments and services.
A fabulous dinner was enjoyed by the group at a local restaurant before retiring from an adventurous day in Arizona. After another delicious buffet breakfast of fresh fruit, Quiche, exquisite pastries and much more, we gathered once again under the Red Sedona Rocks for a 1 1/2 long yoga class where the group found themselves attempting paired moves and mastering head stands – many for the first time! Of course the photos are of the masters at work, Kristine and her sister Michele… there's a great deal of talent in the family… the rest of us looked a "little" less elegant:
After this energetic class, we hiked up to the nearest vortex, only a quick 15 min hike, to fill our souls with some pure Sedona energy. Sedona is famous for its so-called vortex sites, spots where the earth's energy is supposedly increased, leading to self-awareness and various kinds of healing.
The group dispersed afterwards to soak up the last rays of sunshine before heading home. Such a wonderful retreat, leaving us all anxious for next year! Thanks "Pure" for hosting such an incredible retreat and choosing such a gorgeous location – couldn't have been better!!!

Soup season is in full force at my house. Lately I've been constantly testing, making and slurping new soups to see what will make the cut, and end up a permanent resident in my collection. Continue reading Lemon Carrot Cauliflower Soup

spring-y soup
Now that I once again live in a state with distinct seasons, I find the timing of making certain recipes has changed. No longer can I find citrus at the farmers market in January. In fact, I'm hard pressed to find a farmers market open in Portland in January. After a year in Portland, I've adjusted to braising pork shoulder in the winter and baking peach cobbler in the summer. Spring is when things get really fun in the kitchen. Flowers start blooming, fiddlehead ferns start showing up at the markets, and rhubarb is readily available. My recipe choices start to lighten up as the weather warms. Continue reading spring-y soup
kachka's short rib borscht
Kachka is having a bit of a moment in Portland. It's a sweet little Russian restaurant with a chef who's elevating what I used to consider bland, heavy food. Truth be told, Russian food can be heavy, but to me it's perfect for the rainy, chilly days we've been having for the last few months in the Pacific Northwest. Continue reading kachka's short rib borscht
french onion soup
There's something about dreary weather and French onion soup that go hand in hand for me. It's one of those things I often order in a restaurant, but for some reason never make at home. Until now. Continue reading french onion soup
khao soi, northern thailand's iconic noodle soup
I fell hard for Khao Soi while I was in Chiang Mai. The coconut curry noodle soup both won my heart, and was a good introduction to Northern Thai food. It can be found anywhere and everywhere in Chiang Mai. I quickly found myself scanning street food stands for bags of fried noodles; the telltale sign that bowls of Khao Soi are being served from large cauldrons. Continue reading khao soi, northern thailand's iconic noodle soup
tom kha gai (chicken coconut milk soup)
Ah, Thailand. What a great place to spend time eating. This past December I spent 10 days in Chiang Mai. It was my second trip to Thailand, but first time in the Northern part of the country. During the 10-day holiday I experienced many things, including a day at a Thai cooking school. During the full day class I learned to make basic Thai dishes that are consumed widely throughout the country.
paul bertolli's cauliflower soup
I don't know about you, but after Thanksgiving I like to try and lighten things up a bit. I usually have this feeling for a week, and during that time I try and make and eat things that are uncomplicated and don't involve a ton of ingredients. Continue reading paul bertolli's cauliflower soup

100th Grey Cup to Feature Canadian Superstar Singers
The CFL has announced that the 100th Grey Cup, taking place in Toronto on November 25th, will feature a lineup of some of the biggest superstars in Canadian music. Yes, belieb it! Scottish import of country music Johnny Reid and the legendary Burton Cummings will headline a special kickoff show. The halftime entertainment will feature Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen, Gordon Lightfoot, and Marianas Trench. At last year's Grey Cup halftime show, Nickelback performed.
The CFL has not indicated that they have invited any Francophone performers.
"Wonder Woman" is the Most Important Song of the Year
While Carly Rae Jepsen has had the biggest Canadian song of the year, the most important song belongs to her British Columbian sister Elise Estrada. "Wonder Woman" was released on iTunes today and all proceeds will go to The Amanda Todd Foundation, which is committed to anti-bullying campaigns and suicide prevention. Not only is the song about Amanda Todd but all victims of ridicule, harassment, bullying, aggression, and abuse. For your convenience, you can find the song at the following LINK. We encourage all to buy a copy, as this is the clarion call for a massive restructuring of a lamentably defective society.
The incredible story of the song has come to light. We share it with you.
Local music producer Adam Hurstfield was joyfully celebrating his son's sixth birthday when some unsettling news came to his attention. The truth of a dark underside of his own city, a city that has the highest positive reputation in the world, was uncovered in the suicide of a 15-year-old girl in the midst of a bullying exceeding the vilest cruelty of the beasts of the field.
This news stirred the very depths of his conscience and, unable to sleep that night, he knew he had to do something. He contacted those in his musical family including JUNO-nominated pop singer Elise Estrada. They worked together to write a song for Amanda Todd, a song called "Wonder Woman".
While recording the song, Adam and Elise were overcome with feelings of déjà-vu. Amanda's name and face seemed familiar. After the song touched the airwaves of television news and radio, Amanda Todd's family contacted them to say thank you and emailed a special photo to the musicians. It was a photograph of Elise Estrada and Amanda Todd together, a photo snapped by Adam Hurstfield.
Todd's cousin told them that the day Amanda met Elise Estrada was one of the happiest days of her life.
Update: The Official Music Video for the song has been released. Check it out HERE.
Live from the Artists Den to Feature Rufus Wainwright
One of the American networks that airs in Canada is PBS. They run an acclaimed series called Live from the Artists Den which features popular recording artists performing live in unconventional venues like churches, libraries, and museums. The idea is to combine the sound of beautiful music with the view of stunning architecture. The show is now into its 5th season, and thus far, from a quick glance, it appears that Alanis Morissette is the only Canadian artist to have been featured on the show. But all that changes tomorrow, Friday October 19.
The show will be featuring JUNO-winning Canadian recording artist Rufus Wainwright singing his glorious melodies from latest album Out of the Game surrounded by the stained-glass windows, breathtaking central mural, and striking architecture of New York City's Church of the Ascension. In the session, Rufus pays a memorial tribute to his late mother, singer Kate McGarrigle. The Church of the Ascension was built in the early 1800s and declared a national historic landmark in 1987. Below is a taste of what you will see.
Chavril's Rockin' Union
We normally don't post entries with regards to the personal lives of Canadian recording artists but because this one is so high profile, it deserves a mention.
What happens when a small town Alberta boy collaborates with a small town Ontario girl on her album? Romance of course! We're talkin' Chavril.
Avril Lavigne and Nickelback both performed during the closing ceremony of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. Earlier this year, Nickelback's lead singer Chad Kroeger offered to help out on Avril's next studio album. The two hit it off musically and then some.
The announcement of their engagement has created a feeding frenzy for gossip columnists, got the haters doing their thing, broken many hearts, and lock and loaded the paparazzi. But for us, we are thrilled and happy for them.
They are two of the best-selling recording artists in the world, and now they will collaborate on more than just music.
Wishing all the best to them.
Call Me Maybe: Best-Selling Domestic Canadian Single in History
Wave your flags, K'Naan and Young Artists for Haiti; tell Africa, Karl Wolf; do something dangerous, Kardinal Offishall; make music promiscuous, Nelly Furtado; and believe the news, Nikki Yanofsky–your Canuck sister has managed to deliver the best-selling domestic Canadian single in history; in other words, of all singles released by Canadian artists over the years, none has sold more copies in Canada than "Call Me Maybe". At 400,000 units, Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" has just been certified quintuple or 5x platinum in Canada, shattering all records. The previous record was 4x platinum held by Nikki Yanofsky's "I Believe", theme song of the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games.
The best-selling digital single of all time from a foreign artist sold twice as many copies and stands as the only diamond digital download single in the country, that being The Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling".
Congratulations Carly!
Fefe Dobson on CTV's The Listener
For those of you wondering what Fefe Dobson has been up to since releasing 2010 album Joy and its 3 hit singles "Stuttering", "Ghost", and "Can't Breathe", the Toronto platinum-selling, JUNO-nominated recording artist has decided to continue honing her second love—acting. This time around, she won't be relocating to Hollywood studios; rather, she will be guest starring in a Canadian-made, internationally-aired sci-fi dramatic series called The Listener. And it all happens on CTV this Wednesday night.
The Listener debuted in 2009 and is now in its third season. It is aired internationally via the Fox network. The show, shot in Toronto, stars Canadian actor Craig Olejnik (from Halifax) who plays a paramedic (Toby) with a troubled past and has telepathic abilities. He uses these abilities to help people and solve crimes. Wednesday's episode will feature Fefe Dobson who plays Jade, a superstar performer. When her life is threatened, Toby poses as her assistant to watch her back and help the special ops unit investigate. The show will feature two brand new Fefe Dobson songs as yet unreleased.
A behind-the-scenes of Wednesday's The Listener episode is embedded below.
Bieber's CA-US Believe Tour Sells Out in 1 Hour
Justin Bieber will embark on his CA-US Believe Tour beginning on September 29 in Phoenix, USA and ending January 26, 2013, in Miami. Label mate Carly Rae Jepsen will be joining him in concert. Bieber will play shows in 8 Canadian cities (Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Montreal, and Toronto). All of his shows have sold out (though there may still be some VIP tickets available). His entire tour sold out in less than 1 hour; in New York his 2 shows at Madison Square Garden sold out in 30 seconds. Bieber's new single "Die In Your Arms", followup to "Boyfriend", has been released in lieu of his much anticipated Believe album which will be out in a couple of weeks.
Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" continues to be thwarted from entering the #1 spot on the United States' Billboard chart, as Gotye has charmed his way into the American psyche. Her single has reached #1 in the official charts of Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Denmark, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary.
Canadian Artists Excluded from Diamond Jubilee Concert at Buckingham Palace?
Britons are gearing up for four days of celebrations next week to mark the 60th year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, her diamond jubilee. The celebrations will include a 1 hour, 45 minute concert on a special stage constructed outside Buckingham Palace, organized by the BBC and Gary Barlow of boy band Take That. The concert will be televised around the world, taking place on Tuesday at 15:45 local time.
Performers listed by the BBC include the United Kingdom's Paul McCartney, Elton John, Robbie Williams, new artists Ed Sheeran and Jessie J, boy band JLS, and tenor Alfie Boe. Australia, Canada's less populated Commonwealth cousin, will be represented at the concert care of a performance by Kylie Minogue. And the concert will feature an American artist despite the fact that the United States does not recognize the queen.
The lineup of recording artists who will be performing, as listed by the BBC, does not include any Canadians.
It is unknown whether Canadian recording artists were invited to perform and were unable to attend or were simply cold-shouldered.
Gary Barlow composed the song "Sing" to mark the celebration and made a "Commonwealth version". This version features singers from across the U.K., Australia, the Pacific Islands, the Caribbean, Africa, but not Canada. If there is one commonality among all 35 million Canadians, it is that we do not appreciate being snubbed.
Asian Heritage Month: Montreal's JoSH Promotes Multiculturalism in Pakistan
What are you doing to celebrate Asian Heritage Month? The Government of Canada declared May as Asian Heritage Month in Canada a few years back. According to Statistics Canada, over 12% of Canadians are of Asian descent. To honour this special month, the Canadian Music Blog is pleased to present the following.
Montreal's JoSH is a bhangra duo comprised of south Asian Canadians "Rup" (Rup Magon) and "Q" (Qurram Hussain). Rup is Sikh, born and raised in Montreal, while Q is a naturalized Canadian from Pakistan. They are signed to Universal Music and have released some 4 albums since debuting in the new millennium. They are perhaps more famous outside of Canada than within it, as bhangra music is less known here than it is in the United Kingdom, India, and Pakistan. The duo's award-winning second album, Kabhi, remained in the MTV Top 20 charts for half a year in 2004-2005. JoSH has sold some 2 million records worldwide.
Nelly Furtado has done some work with them in releasing some bhangra remixes of her songs "Maneater", "Powerless", and "Promiscuous". JoSH's song "Nasha Pyar Da" from their album Mausam won a Best Bhangra Song award and the album's "Mahi Ve" reached #1 on the BBC Asian charts in Britain.
This spring, the Canadian High Commission in Pakistan organized an event to promote and discuss pluralism in both Canada and Pakistan. JoSH performed on stage in Karachi attracting a number of youth leaders from various universities and Canadian expatriates and Pakistanis of various ethnic and religious backgrounds.
Andrew NG, Head of Communications for the Canadian High Commission spoke at the event and said:
"Canada has very strong people-to-people links with Pakistan. There are an estimated 300,000 Canadians of Pakistani origin, a number of whom I grew up with in Toronto. Much like Pakistan, Canada has evolved layers of policies to accommodate our diversity, such as federalism, bilingualism, multiculturalism and aboriginal self-government. Extremists believe that by targeting different communities they can provoke chaos and social disintegration in Pakistan but I must say, Pakistan is stronger than that, and today is an example of it. The fact that two Canadian artists can find such adoration in Pakistan speaks volumes about this nation's acceptance level and love for music."
Below is JoSH's latest music video, for "Pyar Ho Gaya", from their recent album Beyond Kismat. The video was shot in Mumbai, India.

Carly Rae Jepsen Has Tied the Record
I suppose tying some ribbon around a recording of her song "Call Me Maybe" would work too. Before getting to what we mean by our title, we'll first review the success to date of her international smash hit.
"Call Me Maybe" made it to #1 on the official Canadian singles chart (i.e. Billboard's Canadian Hot 100) on February 3, 2012. Following its international release, it made it to #1 on the official charts of Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland. It debuted at #1 in the United Kingdom remaining on top for 4 straight weeks. It has also topped the iTunes chart in a number of countries including Luxembourg and Austria. Last week it entered the Top 5 in the United States. It made the Top 3 in France, Belgium, Denmark, The Netherlands, and Norway.
So, what's her secret to success? She spilled the beans on Twitter claiming that eating a certain food assists with writing hit songs. "Good chocolate is essential to music," she said. Now, on to her tying the record.
In promotion of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, Nikki Yanofsky's "I Believe" was a hot commodity. So hot, in fact, that it became the most downloaded single in Canadian history (by a Canadian artist), achieving a certification of quadruple platinum sales. Well, Nikki is no longer all by her lonesome on that one. She has been joined by her Canadian sister, as Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" has been certified a quadruple platinum digital download in Canada.
Toques Off to Cohen & Tyson
They were born a year apart (almost to the day), one in Victoria and one in Montreal. They both became folk music legends. Now in their late 70s, they are doing nothing but speeding up.
Earlier this year, Leonard Cohen released a brand new studio album called Old Ideas. It did not take long before achieving platinum certification. His Canadian brother Ian Tyson who, under the duo Ian & Sylvia, launched one of the most beloved Canadian classics of all time—"Four Strong Winds"—is releasing a brand new studio album called Raven Singer on May 29. Ian has been living near High River, Alberta for the past while, diggin' the rural life of ranchin' cowboyism. He has released a string of critically-acclaimed country music records. The title of the new album comes from Ian's attending a sweat lodge ceremony at the Nakoda First Nation during which he was bestowed the name Ka-ree-a-hiatha (Raven that Sings). In March, Tyson was named the 100th Calgary Stampede Parade Marshall. Ian Tyson still performs on average 40 concerts per year and with a brand new album, this year should not be an exception. More info can be found at Ian Tyson's Official Website.
Speaking of tours, guess who has announced a major North American tour in the fall? Leonard Cohen blasts off in the southern U.S. on Halloween night finishing off in New York on December 20. Below are the Canadian dates.
November 12 / Vancouver, BC / Rogers Arena
November 16 / Calgary, AB / Scotiabank Saddledome
November 18 / Edmonton, AB / Rexall Place
November 20 / Saskatoon, SK / Credit Union Centre
November 28 / Montreal, QC / Bell Centre
December 2 / Quebec City, QC / Colisee Pepsi
December 4 / Toronto, ON / Air Canada Centre
December 7 / Ottawa, ON / Scotiabank Place
December 11 / London, ON / John Labatt Centre
December 13 / Kingston, ON / K-Rock Centre

Bryan Adams in Concert
The king of heartland rock is in the middle of his cross-Canada tour which began in St. John's on April 11; tonight he is in Toronto. After Thunder Bay, May 9th, he is off to Portugal and will return to do western Canada in June. Bryan Adams released his first hit single in 1979, "Let Me Take You Dancing" which received extensive airplay on Vancouver's "LG73". After two albums that saw modest sales, he unleashed his triple platinum Cuts Like a Knife in 1983 which spawned 3 Top 40 hits. This album was basically the setup for his hydrogen bomb, Reckless, the first Canadian album in history to go diamond at home with a million copies sold and 6 Top 20 hits, including "Run to You" which made the Top 5.
In 1991, Adams released his second diamond album, Waking up the Neighbours, which saw one of the biggest hit singles in history top the charts around the globe and was featured in the Hollywood blockbuster motion picture Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. The song was "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You". Waking Up the Neighbours became the first Canadian album since Neil Young's Harvest in 1972 to top the album charts in the United Kingdom. Although the 90s saw Adam's greatest success on the singles charts (9 number ones), most think of him as an 80s sensation. His achievements brought unsurpassed Canadian pride to those who spent their youth in that decade.
Check out the tour dates on Bryan Adams' website.
You'll Find Great Music Beyond the Mountain
Trivia question: Who was the winner of the last season of Canadian Idol? Previous seasons were won by Ryan Malcolm, Kalan Porter, Melissa O'Neil, Eva Avila, and Brian Melo. The answer, of course, is Theo Tams. The judges considered Theo the most gifted of all the male vocalists who ever appeared on the show. After hearing his 2008 hit single "Sing" we couldn't agree more. Theo is also a very talented pianist and composer. One may wonder what he is up to these days.
Theo Tams has formed a duo with Vancouver songstress Carly Jean Campbell (not to be confused with Carly Rae Jepsen who, incidentally, also appeared on Canadian Idol). The duo is going by the name Beyond the Mountain. They describe the music they are making as "alternative country" with soul, blues, and modern rock elements and will be releasing an EP this summer. Every Lennon needs to find his McCartney and every Bachman his Cummings. Apparently Tams and Campbell have hit it off musically with magnificent chemistry. We're keeping our fingers crossed that the music they are making will dazzle the populace like it has dazzled us. Their voices sound perfect together.
To listen to samples of their songs and learn more about them, check out:

13 Most Incredible Eyes in the Animal Kingdom.
Suren Manvelyan, is a bit of a jack of all trades. He has a PhD in Theoretical Physics specializing in Quantum Chaos but has recently turned his attention to photographing the amazing detailed landscapes of eyes.
The ones featured here are all from animals and includes a husky dog, snail, Siames cat, and even a crocodile as well as a few other creatures.
With such close photos, one is able to see details such as the irises' color gradients, textures, patterns and even tiny blood vessels, causing these eyes to look like alien landscapes.
Manvelyan has also photographed the human eye and photos of it can be found on his website.

Plus Minus - Critique theme - Creative Use of Shadows
Plus Minus - Critique theme - Creativ...
July 18th, 2016
Kathy Burzynski
The goal of this weekly thread is to help us hone our composition and editing skills, as well as improve our ability to provide helpful constructive criticism.
This week's theme is "Creative use of shadows"
Posting Rules:
(1) Post a photo that fits the weekly theme. It may be a photo you just took or a photo you took some time ago that you like.
(2) Do NOT post a photo if your feelings get hurt easily.
(3) Also keep in mind the comments are often someone's opinion and their opinion may be different than yours so you may learn something or not.
(4) TAG your photo "plusminus-creativeshadows"
(5) TITLE the photo you post so others can refer to the title when commenting.
Commenting Rules:
(1) You will make a plus & minus comment on as MANY PHOTOS as you would like to comment on. Minus should probably best be thought of as "Suggestion for Improvement" and as such is much more subjective than the "plus" idea.
(2) Your comment must include at least One positive comment of what you specifically like about the photo (No More than THREE positive). Generic comments such as "great shot" does not count as a positive feedback.
(3) Your comment must ALSO INCLUDE One improvement suggestion (NO More than THREE suggestion of improvement per photo per person). Generic comments such as "I don't like it" doesn't count as a suggestion of improvement.
(4) YOU MAY NOT COMMENT ON A PHOTO IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO SAY A PLUS AND MINUS ON THE SAME PHOTO. In other words something positive AND an improvement suggestion.
(5) Keep comments to photos relatively brief
(6) REFER TO THE PHOTO TITLE if provided when commenting

First of all welcome to 365!! You will find the people on this site are very encouraging and you have the opportunity to improve your craft if you want. I love the patterns and texture in the sand and the shadows are what really makes this cool. For an improvement suggestion I would say to add more sky following the rule of 3rds would help the composition even more. Also I am wondering if you showed just a little more of what is to the right and a little less of what is shown on the left - just a thought.

Thanks for critique.. love that about this site !!!
Love this .. I want to be in that cool water with him ! but oh MAN.. he he going to walk off a cliff ?? looks amazing ! Great title !
July 25th, 2016
Sarah Dennehy
thank you so much for info about how to do it !! Hopefully once I add a few more .. I will remember what and how to do it !!!
July 26th, 2016
Kathy Burzynski
Love this one - the shot tells the story, the shadows add to this shot just so well done. I'm not sure what you could have done to improve it because I think the angle is good. The only thing that comes to mind to improve it would be if you didn't have that large shadow on his shoulders or light up the eyes a bit more but I don't think either of those would be an option unless it is a planned shot.
July 26th, 2016
Stef Neyhart
Thanks... I will lighten up the eyes, I didn't notice until you mentioned it. I was indecisive about the shadow on the shoulder as its angularity mirrored some of the other shapes. I'll play with it just to see how it looks. Thank you so much that was very helpful.
July 26th, 2016
I was trying to do a silhouette but the shadows and lighting wound up being better shots.
July 26th, 2016
Kathy Burzynski
I've never done anything like this - so awesome - love the silhouette and shadows - This is so creative and I think the use of shadows is done well - Perhaps bringing the light source slightly closer would have just a tad more of the body outline -
July 26th, 2016
What a lovely photo. Aside from the dancer herself and her pose I really like the way you have done the lighting in this shot, coming in from one side. Ok, so here is suggestion part, which actually would make a totally different shot: being that the theme is shadows, to emphasize the shadows what would you think of cropping off the top half of the picture, eg: framing from the hem of the tutu down. Anyway, just a thought and only because of the theme.
July 26th, 2016
thanks for your comments, and good idea about the light Maybe aiming a bit higher would have gotten more definition, too. Thanks. And these are fun to do, I've been finding odd bits at the local Dollar Store.
July 26th, 2016
Hi, and welcome, I've been here a few months and am really enjoying this community, hope you do as well.
The texture and patterns because of the shadows of the sand slopes really gives this dimension and your point of view makes it really interesting. I agree that a bit more sky might help, but the challenge I think would be to keep that long view of the sand and not lose that to get more sky. Looking forward to seeing more.
July 26th, 2016
Beautiful choice of black and white here, really works. My suggestion is to consider some cropping. One crop would be to eliminate the bright water in the foreground as my eye is drawn to it just because it is light.
July 26th, 2016
Stef Neyhart
Thanks for your idea, I'll go back and try that.
July 29th, 2016
Dear Dawson Photography
Shades of youth:
I'm totally new here, This is my first time submitting for critique.
Thanks for looking!

Kathy Burzynski
Welcome to 365!!
Such a lovely portrait - You captured such a beautiful expression and the soft shading and shadows works so well.
When I zoom into the photo I can see you have nice sharp eyes in this photo but I would lighten up the eyes a bit more to be able to see them better - If you have Lightroom I would use the shadow brush and just take the eyes out of the shadow just a bit. I know it is my pet peeve but for me portraits are always about the eyes - well not always but the majority of the time.

|The Laburnum Tree - Moira Blackburn (personalised)
Thank you for all the lovely comments yesterday about by DH - Ray. Secretly, I think that he was really chuffed and he told me to remember to tell you that he made me a cup of tea as well in the afternoon.
I love him so much. I stitched Moira's Laburnum Tree to celebrate our love for each other. I changed the saying to "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine", I use this saying alot in my stitching as it is one that I hold very dear.
The weather worsened throughout yesterday so we never made it out for our walk and I spent the afternoon working on a news letter that I send periodically to "Friends of Trewoon".
I thought that I would make this post a little different today my sharing it with you. (Elizabeth, as a very dear Friend of Trewoon I am sorry that you will be seeing this twice)
Fishing Nets to Gladiators
I was watching Amazing Grace last night on DVD and spotted Mullion Harbour. Our little harbour must be one of the most picturesque 'storybook' fishing harbours in Cornwall.
|Fishermen at Mullion Harbour, Lizard, Cornwall
Once a busy Pilchard fishing harbour it has been preserved by the National Trust, and is a magical place to visit with its lobster pots, quaint cobbled slipway, and old picturesque net store that provide a timeless and precious tranquillity that is difficult to find.
|Boats at Mullion Harbour, Lizard, Cornwall seasidecottagescornwall.co.uk
Brightly coloured fishing boats still support a small fishing community with fresh lobster and crab being landed on the quay. There is nothing quite like our fresh crab sandwiches for lunch.
With its dramatic back drop of the high serpentine cliffs and tiny Mullion Island it is no surprise that Mullion Cove and Harbour have featured in many historic TV and Film dramas over the years.
|Mullion Cove, Lizard, Cornwall by John Wright seasidecottagescornwall.co.uk
When you visit Cadgwith Cove you may recognise some of the locals and buildings as many appeared in Ladies in Lavender with Judi Dench and Maggie Smith. In 2004 for several weeks the cove was transformed into the 1940's.
|Fishing Boats at Cadgwith Cove, Lizard, Cornwall by John Wright
Rosamunde Pilcher was born in Cornwall and many of her novels were set in this area. Daphne Du Maurier lived for a short while at the head of Frenchman's Creek, the walk around the creek brings Du Maurier's famous novel alive.
The Shell Seekers, Nancherrow, Another View, Toby and Carousel all had scenes shot locally.
The 1949 Thief of Baghdad was set in Gunwalloe, the Island of Adventures was filmed in 1981 at Mullion Cove, The Return of Sherlock Homes in 1986 featured scenes filmed at Kynance, Church and Cadgwith Cove. Vinnie Jones appeared at Porthleven filming Guns, Money and Home Cooking.
|Church Cove, Cove, Lizard, Cornwall by John Wright seasidecottagescornwall.co.uk
With Jenny Agutter, Rodney Bewes, Caroline Quentin, Roger Taylor, Pete Townsed and Tim Rice having homes here and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie staying in Helston this year you never know who you are going to snap in your holiday photographs.
For Mark and Susan who like a bit of trivia:-
" the nets for Gladiator starring Russell Crowe were made by a fishing net maker in Porthleven. who had a surpise visit by the film star".
I hope my needlework friends enjoyed The Friends of Trewoon Newsletter, we are so blessed where we live.

Steven Fletcher signs for Marseille on loan from Sunderland
Marseille have signed Sunderland striker Steven Fletcher on loan until the end of the season.
Fletcher, 28, now appears to have played his last game for Sunderland as his contract at the Stadium of Light is due to expire in the summer.
Welcome Steven Fletcher ! #MercatOM- Olympique Marseille (@OM_Officiel) February 1, 2016

The Scotland international began his career with Hibernian before moving to Burnley in 2009 and then spending two years with Wolves before joining Sunderland in a £12 million deal in 2012.
He told the club's official website in his first interview that he cannot wait to play at the Stade Velodrome and help the club climb up the table.
"It's a fantastic opportunity for me to come here," he said. "When I heard that obviously they wanted me to come, I was absolutely delighted and, yeah, I'm just happy to be here.
"My team that I play for back in England, we have a lot of French players like Younes Kaboul and Yann M'Vila and they told me a lot about it. Obviously I watched a few games so yeah I'm looking forward to coming to play.

"I like to think I'm good in the air. I'm good with my head and obviously I'm good with my feet. I can get a few goals as well. I like to score some goals so if I can do that for Marseille I'll be happy.
"I know they're a massive club. The fans as well are great - I've seen the atmosphere in the stadium. So I'm looking forward to playing in that.
"Obviously we're mid-table just now and I'd like to come and hopefully push us up the table."
Fletcher, who scored 23 goals in 108 appearances for Sunderland, could make his OM debut in Tuesday's Ligue 1 game at Montpellier.

Wedding planning is a lengthy process and one which can be very stressful, which is why it makes sense to use every tool at your disposal. Planning tools such as a wedding planning checklist will quickly become your best friend as you navigate your way towards the perfect wedding, but there is a lot more to planning a wedding than a simple checklist.
Most wedding planning checklist can be found for free in magazines, books and on the internet. Usually they will all follow the same format, so most brides will need to edit them to fit with their wedding plans. But if the checklist can be found for free, what else can you get for nothing to help you with your wedding planning?
Wedding Budget Planner – your wedding budget will control everything you want and everything you can have. So having a clearly itemized list of what you want and how much it will cost can save you from financial ruin before your married life has even begun!
Budget planners are simple and easy to use, but they do require you to do some research before you add up all the figures to give you overall budget. Usually they will come with a series of traditional essentials – ceremony costs, reception fees, catering, favors, stationery, wedding dress etc. Some will come pre-filled with average costs for each element to give you a guide and a second column which is blank for you to fill in the cost to you.
As you fill in the budget planner call around some vendors and wedding venues to get an idea of costs. Do some research on the internet as well. Make sure your figures are realistic or you could end up with a real headache the closer you get to your wedding day.
Wedding Planning Guide – there are so many free planning guides available on the internet to download. Try to pick one from a reputable source to give you the best advice. You could download several but you could end up with information overload and lots of conflicting advice!
A wedding planning guide is an essential tool, particularly when you first get started. Whether you know lots or nothing about planning a party on this scale, planning guides can still give you lots of hints, tips and advice which you may not have considered yourself!
When looking for free planning tools try to get from reputable source. Magazines are great but often churn out the same article over and over again. There are literally hundreds of wedding websites out there but only handful can really offer you good, sound advice from people in the know.

And now for the meat and potatoes:
A Nov 15, 2010 Wall Street Journal article lays out why it thinks Ben Bernanke is so wonderful and why only the silly dare disagree with what he's doing. Smiling Dave's Gentle Sarcasm will rebut. I'll quote a bit from Mr. Blinder, former vice chairman of the Federal Reserve, in italics, and then refute in normal type.
For months, we have witnessed the spectacle of people arguing that Keynes was wrong. Somehow, additional government spending actually reduces employment—even when the economy has huge amounts of spare capacity and unused labor desperate for work; even when the central bank will prevent interest rates from rising to "crowd out" private spending. Really?
Let's explain how govt spending reduces employment, even under the conditions Blinder thinks it doesn't happen.
First, lets make this point. When the govt spends, say pays people to build houses, then there is an increase of employment in the housing industry. The moment they stop buying, off toddle the jobs. So we are talking about an eternal injection of govt money into the housing industry.
This is in contrast to when private people decide they want more houses. After all, there must be a reason they want more houses suddenly. Maybe prices of houses went down, or a new use has been found for houses. But there is a reason. And as long as the reason is there, the jobs will be there. When the reason stops, the workers will get laid off, as they should be.
And of course govt spending indeed reduces employment. Because for every dollar they take away from us and use to hire someone, we have a dollar less of our own to spend. So people who used to work for us will lose their jobs.
Now one may say that it's a trade off, gain one job here, lose one job there. So that the worst we can say about the gov is that it does not help. But why do we say there will be less jobs, not the same amount as before?
That's a deep question. The answer is that there is a huge difference between a govt job and a regular job. The govt job is always to make something nobody wants. After all, we are talking about the govt building houses because nobody is buying them. Which by definition means the govt is building houses nobody wants. A result of that is that resources like factory space, raw materials, and labor, have been wasted. They cannot be used to make things people really want, because they have been turned into houses.
When a country has less resources available, it is poorer. People cannot afford to hire others like they used to. So of course there will be more unemployment.
Our man Blinder may agree with all this in principle, but thinks we have failed to grasp the important special case we are living in. He asks us if we think govt spending cause unemployment...
even when the economy has huge amounts of spare capacity and unused labor desperate for work?
What does he mean by "spare capacity"? I assume he means that GM has this big factory for making SUVs and nobody is buying SUVs. So there is a spare capacity for SUV manufacture. And he proposes that the govt keep buying those SUVs to keep the factory open.
By this thinking, when cars were invented and the buggy factories had spare capacity, the govt should have given them money to keep on making buggys. Or when electricity was invented, the govt should have given money to the whaling ships to keep on bringing in blubber.
The point is, if a factory has "spare capacity", there is a reason for it. Always. And just like the whaling ships and the buggy factories, if no one is buying, they have to shut down.
As for "unused labor desperate for work", I guess he is saying the govt should get these people hired, by buying blubber and buggies. Is there not a flaw in this picture? There sure is. In a sane economy the workers would stop working for GM and get jobs doing something else. No more blubber, no more buggies, but something else.
The reason they cannot find other jobs in our insane economy is because of govt regulations and taxes that prevent people from hiring new workers.
Mr. Blinder hints at another reason govt spending, in this particular case, will not create unemployment:
even when the central bank will prevent interest rates from rising to "crowd out" private spending[?]
So low interest rates ensure that private spending will keep on happening. Whatever the private sector was spending until now it will keep on spending, plus we have the new govt spending, so the whalers will keep their jobs.
But if the private sector is spending the same amount, that means that of course it still HAS all its money to spend. Meaning no new taxes are being imposed. In that case, where is the govt getting the money to spend? I guess they are borrowing it from someone outside the USA, since the Americans will have all their money to spend. Which means one day we will have to pay it all back with interest. I wonder where the money will come for doing that?
But we all know where the money will really come from. Hot off the printing press on the QE2. Which by the law of supply and demand applied to money, means inflation. Meaning the private sector will lose purchasing power. Which means the private sector will NOT keep on spending.
Getting long, so we'll stop here. A lengthier rebuttal of Blinder's absurd article is right here on the Mises forum, Smiling Dave style.
Don't forget guys, keep those favorable comments coming.

The Lilla Rogers "Make Art That Sells" Bootcamp March Gallery is released. This is the second month of our class, and our second project. The project's theme is jello, and the medium is bolt fabric pattern design.
The quality of work is so professional and, so yummy this time around. Like last time, it is my selfish desire to pick out and bookmark a handful that I like the most, and write a post about it. I must gloat that I picked so well last time, that one of my favorites, the cuckoo clock by Linda Tordoff (paintlovestudio), was picked up by Paper and Cloth Design Studio. She is now officially represented by this agent. Congrats to her! Let's see what happens this time.
I picked 28 this time (so it fits nicely into 7 rows, haha). It is always so hard to pick out only a limited number of my favorites – at one point I had 80 browser tabs open, and I almost want to give up. Again, this is purely my personal favorites. The order is random. Below are the links to individual pieces within the gallery (which links to the artists' respective portfolios), and reasons to why I like them:

Shouldn't be gone for more than a week. I know I've been bouncing in and out pretty infrequently recently, so I'm providing an ~official~ notice here. The next few weeks are going to be rough for me, and my work is demanding now that I hand over all of my free time (battles will ensue shortly) to fill shifts. So, with about 5235270124537289 things on my plate, I am going to have to bid you all adieu for the next little while, as my life just got very complicated very quickly.
I'll be on and off every so often, but not too regularly until about mid-September.
Work is picking up, as is schoolwork and college applications. This is a crazy time in my life right now, and I haven't been able to make time at all anymore. I'll be back hopefully soon, but October will be an off month.
I have college apps due on the first, and I'm scrambling right now. I won't be back until after they're done - hopefully sometime in the next week, maybe more.

It's a Bank Holiday weekend, which means no work. Normally I'd be outside basking in something fun, but it has been raining like nobody's business the last couple of days. And Saturday, the day when it was nice? I spent most of that indoors, cleaning and straightening up and catching up with Liz since she just came back from a week in the US.
We did manage to get out for a little bit yesterday to hit a couple of historic pubs (my historic Roman London walking tour was put on hiatus because of the weather) and today I'm thinking a museum might be in order. Anything that doesn't involve a lot of walking in this dreary wetness.

NANO: New American Notes Online--Issue 1.2 Special Theme: Mystery, the Unknown, Surprise, deadline: 18 March 2011
NANO: New American Notes Online: An Academic Journal for Big Ideas in a Small World
Call for Papers: Issue 1.2
Deadline: 18 March 2011
Special Theme: Mystery, the Unknown, Surprise
What's up? What went down? How are you doing? What happened? We all want to know what is going on. We want knowledge. We want to solve the crime. We want to get it right. Yet, we also get a thrill from being in suspense. We like surprise parties and a good mystery novel. This issue of NANO is dedicated to both the sleuth and the mystery maker.
Three question clusters:
1. Is storytelling a way to solve a mystery? Is the lyric the poetic mystery par excellence? Isn't the chief characteristic of drama the unraveling of an intricate mystery that we call plot? Is art more about finding one's way or creating enigma? What is the relationship between mystery and surprise?
2. Why are mysteries so powerful? Think of the prevalence of crime shows on television. Entire bookstores are dedicated just to mystery novels. Is there a business/profit angle to mystery? What might neuroscience say about the desire to seek answers to vexing questions? Are we hard-wired to be in mystery, or, are we hard-wired to figure out mysteries? And where does pleasure and desire enter into the equation?
3. The unknown and the future seem closely connected, but is the unknown also about the past? Religion is concerned with the unknown, and, perhaps, with making us comfortable with the unknown. Adventure and the unknown are correlates too. Does travel writing/cinema satiate our desire for the unknown, but in a safe manner? Do tourists simply like the soft surprise? Does the unknown help us frame ideas of difference and otherness?
Possible Topics:
suspense, ambiguity, who-done-it, secret, open secret, mystique, mysticism, crime novel, mystery novel, mystery theatre, mystery play, mystery shopper, getting/being lost, religion and the unknown, guessing, negative capability, mystery and cinema, obscurity, difference, the veil, cloak and dagger, magic, surprise attack, surprise party, shock jock, discovery, enigma, aphorism, allegory, Gordian knot, scientific method, reason and unreason

Compounding: The Science Of Exponential Money Generation
It all begins with a simple calculation.
You are home on a rainy Sunday afternoon, looking at the flashy calculator you found on sale last month for $12 at the local buy n' save. It was a good buy.
You find the percentage button, and try to decipher how it all works.
Before long you are calculating percentages like a pro.
An hour later, you stumbled across an idea everyone with a calculator on a rainy Sunday afternoon stumble across. That of calculating the money you have squirled away at the local bank branch in a fixed term savings account. You recall the rate was guaranteed 7{4917788a0bd7aa7369c2a945027b4fe6c9853cda4150a24fe1255b18ce3083dc} and even though you are only locked in for 12 months, you decide this money will become your retirement fund. All $3000 of it.
So you start crunching the numbers for ..oh, say 30 years.
In 30 years, you calculate that it will become $22,836.76 Wow! even if you do nothing. Not bad.
A show comes on the television that grabs your attention, and your calculator is absently passed onto the coffee table as you get comfortable, and get set to watch "The most dangerous animals on earth-a ten point count down".
You watch, but the calculator sits patiently within your line of sight. During one of the ad breaks, you get another idea.
What if you could find some other investment vehicle to grow your money? What if you could find somebody that offered more interest?
You don't know where you will find somebody willing to offer you this much interest but you try it anyway….30{4917788a0bd7aa7369c2a945027b4fe6c9853cda4150a24fe1255b18ce3083dc}
30{4917788a0bd7aa7369c2a945027b4fe6c9853cda4150a24fe1255b18ce3083dc} at 30 years.
Wow. $3000 turns into $7, 859,983! Wow! you hum to yourself. You begin to pay a lot of attention to your calculator, the TV show is up to number one, the most dangerous animal on the planet is……..you don't care. You don't even hear the television.
Suddenly a wise voice enters your head. You know its wise, because it told you. It says hey, 30{4917788a0bd7aa7369c2a945027b4fe6c9853cda4150a24fe1255b18ce3083dc} is not a huge jump from 7{4917788a0bd7aa7369c2a945027b4fe6c9853cda4150a24fe1255b18ce3083dc}. Yes it is a lot different, but not proportional to the result. $22,000 odd dollars, compared to nearly 8 million is a big difference.
There's something to this.
You resolve to investigate this. You steady yourself for the figure that will come next, when you try 100{4917788a0bd7aa7369c2a945027b4fe6c9853cda4150a24fe1255b18ce3083dc} You start crunching.
…after picking yourself up off the floor, you decide to do some research on your favourite resource site Ezine, a search for compounding you find this article.
Surely it can't be that hard to maintain a level of compounding that's fairly interesting over a number of years? You reason.
And you know what? You are right. It's a science. Its simple math and the results are under your control if you want them to be.
Your actions determine your results, why wait 30 years for compounding to work for you?
You can manufacture exceptional results with a some solid research, and deploying that knowledge.
There's a lot more to Compounding than the math. But look, they say in life, you get what you put in, however, compounding is different. When compounding your own money, as we have seen, that theory is just inadequate to express the returns.
Its time you investigated compounding properly. Keep an eye out for my articles here, or visit our web site right now on the link below for a lot of free insights and open content pages.
