What is Facebook Research App?
On Google Play Store, you must have seen a number of applications offering you free mobile talk time, PayTM cashback etc. These applications provide free benefits to its users as they collect the data and user experience from users' smartphones. Sometimes all these happen without the permission or acknowledgement of the users. Recently these data collection policies landed Facebook in a huge trouble and spoilt its reputation in the market. After the implementation of the stringent laws and government involvement Facebook is facing hurdles in data collection so they came up with the idea of Facebook Research Applause programme where the user will get paid for sharing the data and user experience with Facebook with the help of installation of this application.

Facebook Research app safe to use (any privacy leakage problem)?
Yes, Facebook Research App is very safe to use. Facebook's this new innovation is completely based upon the transparency. After receiving the strong backlash and the consistent downfall in its stock price, Facebook is much more worried about the privacy and confidentiality of its user's data than the users itself. With the help of Facebook Research Applause program, Facebook came forward to re-build the confidence of its users on its innovations.
Is there any problem with our privacy?
No, the Facebook Research Applause program is coming up with the complete transparency. It will collect the data and user experience with prior permission. Since users are pretty much aware that their data is being shared with Facebook so the question of compromise with privacy doesn't arise at all.
Facebook research app pay more to users?
Since the Facebook research app loot is at the initial stage, so to gain a momentum growth Facebook is paying more. As the number of users will increase the rates will start declining. Compare this scenario with YouTube monetisation scheme, you'll automatically find the answer to this question.

I recently was contacted by a real estate appraisal company from Michigan that was in a heated dispute with a property owner regarding their factory-built home. Was it a modular home or a manufactured home? The homeowner claimed is was a modular, while the appraiser disagreed.
This appraisal company had over 30 years experience, yet had never received any training specifically on manufactured housing. Most training courses will include a few slides that basically say that if a home has steel chassis (or frame) attached to the floor joist, it must be a manufactured home. As you know, that is not always the case.
Now, don't think I am criticizing real estate appraisers. I have seen tax assessors make the same mistake. In fact, not just appraisers and assessors, but code officials, zoning officers, banks and home inspectors as well. This leads me to ask, why are so many housing professionals misinformed regarding manufactured housing?
I visited several web sites to see what they say regarding the differences between manufactured and modular housing, and found most of the information on the web is more focused on marketing as opposed to structural features and building code differences. To make things worse, too many industry professionals do not have a clear understanding of the differences, and play fast and loose with the terms manufactured, mobile, modular, etc., causing further confusion.
Now, to muddy the water even more, we are dealing with "tiny houses" which are a completely different product! Why do they use the word "house"? Calling them "Tiny Campers" would be more accurate. But, as it stands they also add to the confusion.
So, what is so different about a manufactured home compared to other housing? And who should be responsible to assure that manufactured homes are not confused with other housing types? And does it even matter?
Simply put, modular homes are generally built to a state specific building code and are not intended to be moved after the initial installation. They are considered real estate and must be placed on a permanent foundation on privately owned land. And like it or not, some producers design and construct modular homes that leave a chassis in place, even after it is placed upon the foundation. But the intent is that the modular home will never be moved after placement.
As you know, manufactured homes are built to a national building code. However each state has their own set of requirements (or lack of requirements) regarding assesment, classification, zoning, lending, sales, etc. Many states consider manufactured homes to be vehicles, registered or titled through the state Department of Motor Vechicles (DMV). Therefore, like a "vehicle", manufactured homes are considered "personal property". Which means instead of a low interest rate mortgage, purchasers must either pay cash or take out a high interest rate "chattel" loan.
So why are manufactured homes considered vehicles? Because by definition, a manufactured home must be permanently transportable. It doesn't matter if the home is placed on a full basement, masonry crawl space, piers or slabs. A manufactured home must retain the ability to be moved from one location to the next. It may not always be practical, but the on-going ability to lift the home from the foundation, re-attach tires and axles, hitch and lights for transport is required.
For a manufactured home installed in a leased land community (park), a chattel loan makes sense. But today, many manufactured homes are placed on private land with permanent foundations. For these situations, a chattel loan is not the best option. The owner of the manufactured home would have to work with their state DMV to retire the registration or title and establish the home as "real" property, and therefore qualify for a mortgage.
I hope this helps you better understand the mortgage/chattel loan issue. Banks are reluctant to lend money to a structure that could potentially be towed from the building site.
So, can you blame an appraiser who looks in the crawl space and sees a steel chassis and assumes it is a manufactured home?
I don't presume to have all of the answers to this decades old problem, but I do think that understanding the requirement of transportability is important. I also believe that there are some simple steps that all of us can take to help educate those in the housing industry as well as the home buying public:
- Use the correct terminology. If it is a Manufactured Home, call it a Manufactured Home!
- Earn the confidence of other housing professionals. Start sharing how this program is regulated, and that there is oversight to protect the consumer and the public.
- Consider sponsoring a training session in your area for code officials, assessors, appraisers, or other housing professionals.
- Teach the consumer that at some point the home's label and data plate will be important and should be preserved.
- Invite housing officials to your trade show, retail center, or to visit an installation site.
- Become your area's manufactured housing expert.
The Manufactured Housing Program is likely the best kept secret in the housing industry. To encourage the industry to grow, we need to get the rest of the housing industry to better understand what makes our product different.

Milestone Academy has two School Councils, one with representatives from Key Stage 2, and one with representatives from the Secondary and the Further Education Departments. The council members meet at least once a term to discuss current issues and talk about future projects. The council members, one from each class, are elected by their class mates to be their representatives. The Secondary and FE School Council meetings are also attended by a School Governor, Ron Churchward, who provides support and guidance to the representatives.
Minutes from these meetings are written using the 'Communicate in Print' programme. A copy of these minutes is then given to the school council members from each class to inform all pupils about what had been discussed and any decisions which had been made. Minutes are also available in reception for visitors to the school to see.
Class representatives are encouraged to discuss ideas with their class prior to a meeting and bring feedback with them to the meeting.
This year some of the decisions made by the school council have been about how to effectively spend some money to benefit the students. The students representing the Secondary and FE School Council have looked at equipment that they would like to be included in the planned adventure playground and have invited the school Outdoor Space coordinator to the meeting to discuss their ideas. The Secondary and FE members are also planning a 'Bring and Buy Sale' during term 5 to raise some funds for outdoor play equipment.
The Primary School Council was formed in September 2009 and is made up of 6 nominated students, one from each class in the junior department. They are led by a senior teaching assistant and a class teacher. The council meets once a term and guests are invited to support or provide information and answer questions.
The representatives feed back important issues and questions raised in classes using preferred methods of communication. They also work together on relevant projects such as a recent eco initiative to save electricity within the school. The council members play an important role in communicating their work with their peers and they are encouraged to share information, ask questions and collect opinions using a variety of methods of communication.

Thinkgeek's Retro Mini handheld lets you take your NES games on the go, which sounds like a dream from 1985 come true. Some dreams, however, are better left unrealized.
"Way back in 1985 what would you have been willing to give for a handheld NES?" online retailer ThinkGeek asks in the production description for its Retro Mini, a handheld device that plays NES games. Well, if I had been alive in 1985 (missed me by a year, ThinkGeek), I probably would have said "everything that I own," which would have included nothing.
In any case, a portable NES sounds like a great idea, right? Especially nowadays when everything 8-bit is totally hip. Well, it turns out that what sounds awesome in your head is not so rad in real life. Problem is that NES cartridges are freaking ginormous (who could forget?). While the Retro Mini itself looks to be the size of any average handheld gaming system, when you stick a huge NES cart into it, it sticks out like a, uh, huge NES cart.
If you're still interested, the Retro Mini's retailing for $49.99, though factor in the cost of the 4 AA batteries you'll need to keep its LCD screen pumping out those beautiful 8-bit visuals. It also comes with AV out cables so you can hook it up to a TV if you want, which could make it a worthwhile NES substitute if you're sick of keeping the system around.
This could almost be cool if you worked it the right way, in the same way that ugly graphic t-shirts and trucker hats are so uncool that they're cool. You could rock this thing on the subway and be all "yeah I know this thing is hideous, but I'm so cool, it doesn't even matter." But then you would be an obnoxious idiot, so maybe don't try that.

Wind dam
You've heard of hydroelectric dams, but have you heard of a wind dam? That's the imaginative idea behind this "sail turbine" design by Chetwoods Architects. This giant sail, which is designed for a windy mountain gorge near Northern Russia's Lake Ladoga, acts as a dam, funneling the wind through a central turbine. With traditional turbines, more wind passes around the rotors than through them. But this inefficiency is solved if the wind is collected and dammed within a giant sail.
This design also passes the aesthetic test — a difficult task given that its proposed placement is in such a spectacular, unblemished landscape.

Heidi Klum and Seal are ending their marriage after nearly seven years. The news of the pending divorce as reported by TMZ, is shocking to say the least.
Heidi and Seal were locked in as one of the few celebrity couples that would stand the test of time. If the rumor is true, the former Victoria's Secret supermodel will file for divorce next week in LA County Superior Court citing 'irreconcilable differences.'
The couple is known for renewing their vows each year since their May 10th, 2005 wedding. Just last year the couple renewed their vows in Palm Beach, Heidi told Redbook after the experience, "It's so special to us, something we love and something our children have gotten accustomed to. It's like, 'Hey, Mom and Dad love each other and they get married every year!'"
So what went wrong? Blame it on the seven year itch? It happened to Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony who announced their shocking divorce last year after 7 years of marriage.
According to research couples grow tired of their spouse and desire other options approaching or just after their first seven years of marriage. It's hard to believe Heidi Klum and Seal who embodied the spirit of a sexy, rock and roll couple with four beautiful children would lose interest in each other. Just last July Heidi told Glamour magazine,
"He's even hot when he's sleeping. He's a beautiful man. He's kind, he's a gentleman, and I watched him last night onstage, and he still rocks it. I'm like, 'Yeah, that's my man!'"
Do you think Heidi Klum and Seal will divorce?

New Ventures In Retirement
New Income – Reinvention
By Nancy Bearg
Reinvention. What a powerful word. It's perfect for Boomers, as we think what we want to do next. Certainly, it isn't just Golf, Gardening, and Grandchildren.
For millions, it is or will be new work. My co-authors and I call it Reinventing into New Work. It's a way to keep making income while expanding into something new, something for which you may have an old or new-found passion.
What Others Are Doing to Reinvent Themselves
Ray was a hotshot lawyer in Los Angeles when he retired and turned to baking brownies and macaroons from family recipes. Soon these yummies were in upscale restaurants and catering businesses. After a few years, he changed to Task Rabbit, to answer the varied needs of Millennials, Gen Xers, and Boomers alike. Ray loves the flexibility of going online each day to pick these jobs that have allowed time and funding for his travel habit. Uber and Airbnb are other new economy jobs for Boomers, in which they are their own boss.
Many people go back to school to change their career path completely.
Russ is a retired AT&T executive who went to divinity school and became a Unitarian minister. He had his own church for a while then switched to being a visiting and interim pastor.
Others return to school for degrees or certifications. Teaching is popular—and often a lifelong desire—and can take the form of substitute teaching, regular teaching at any level, or English as a Second Language in the US or abroad. A new degree or certificate is not always required. I teach a university graduate course as an adjunct professor based on my experience, with a master but not a Ph.D.
You can invest your ideas and knowledge in others and their ideas with angel investing. Kevin has raised three angel funds and also directs a program at Boise State University called Venture College, which offers students a customized self-paced work plan to launch a business or non-profit venture.
David sold his medical equipment company and retired with his wife to Santa Fe, NM, where he started working with others as an angel advisor. That got him interested in research that was going on in Albuquerque with the University of NM Medical School and Sandia National Labs, which led him to invest in a new technology to detect tuberculosis earlier, cheaper, and with more specificity. Today, he is managing that company, securing funding, and marketing to the World Health Organization.
Relying On Your Ingenuity
Creativity can lead to a new vocation and income. Jan was a lobbyist for a telecommunications company in Washington DC. When she and her husband retired to the Southwest, she began painting, focusing on botanicals. Today, she sells her paintings through galleries and her own website, as well as teaching art lessons. Dan, a former senior executive in a technology corporation, took up painting and guitar and now sells his paintings and performs concerts in the US and France.
Some people successfully create new enterprises. Cheryl is creating a new Institute for Nature-Based Learning in Vermont that leverages her previous careers in education, nonprofits, and business. She had retired and moved to Vermont to be near her new grandson. Cynthia went from being an insurance executive managing thousands of employees around the world to creating her own start-up company to coach other executives how to create infrastructure and necessary setups to start new businesses.
Sharon moved from insurance executive to creating WAHVE, Work at Home for Vintage Employees, to capture the power of retired Baby Boomers with 25-30 years of experience. Working virtually, she hires and places interim employees as insurance agents and brokers. The business is booming. The interim employees love working from home, while the companies benefit from lower costs and the amazing talent they procure.
Is Franchising For You?
Franchises are popular among Boomers, with Boomers signing up faster than any other American age group. They are also starting small businesses at an amazing rate.
Many of these ventures involve Boomers as a market. Americans 50+ constitute the third largest economy in the world. What would you want to do to market to Boomers? And, more importantly, and broadly, what are your own ideas for new ventures and income streams in your next chapter?

In the 1970/80's various test trains were developed as individual facilities to assess various track features and brought into service as separate operations. Four of these major units were the Ultrasonic Test Unit, Track Recording Unit, the Structure Gauging Train and Lab 5, a track Recording Coach already in long term use. Even at that time there were thoughts of eventually combining these operations into a possible single unit to reduce line occupancy, costs and some of the duplicated staffing aspects. In a combined arrangement the speed of testing would be determined by the test requiring the lowest testing operational speed requirement and possible light level requirements.
The track recording facilities could work at any speed up to line speed with a constraint of a comparatively slow minimum low speed. The installation of track recording facilities as a unit on conventional 'in traffic' stock gives some aspects of the track being travelled over but does not give specific detailed information and tends to be influenced by the riding characteristics of the vehicle conditions on which it is installed. The Structure Gauging facility worked at similar but preferably slightly lower speeds principally at night. The Ultrasonic facility had the lowest speed requirement determined by the time taken for the transmitted shear wave ultrasonic energy to return from the bottom of the rail and the pulse spacing to ensure full coverage. This restricts the speed of operation to around 20 to 30mph.
My recollection of detected in track rail defects and failures indicated in general they were usually located in the upper half of the rail. Rail-end defects in the lower web were usually associated with other defects in the upper half of the rail. The few other true rail foot defects usually occurred in known galling and corrosion areas and could be accommodated accordingly.
Testing down to mid-rail depth would allow a significant increase in testing speed. However this approach would not be without difficulties, needing to ensure residual energy from consecutive events did not interfere. With an increase of speed it would be necessary to maintain the density of pulsing to ensure full examination coverage. However with the current computing facilities available and a designed multiple probe arrangement it should be possible to produce a system to overcome these problems.
Work to enhance the fracture toughness of rail steels would also improve defect resistance to failure. A more extensive use of the more expensive, but probably cost effective, rolled High Manganese steel rails, in vulnerable areas, with their tolerance of significant cracks without failure. Although this material does carry penalty of a lower propagation speed of ultrasonic energy adding to difficulties in automated processes.
Filming of track and pantograph features could also be incorporated with its own constraints. In consequence I would suggest it should be possible, with careful planning, to carry out several measurement features on the same train/unit simultaneously reducing costs and track occupancy.

Nicki Minaj Celebrates New Billboard Record With Twerking Video
20 Jul 2017 13:05
For your very first class put on comfortable garments that you would put on to a gym or yoga class. I was no longer worried about whether or not white girls twerking is cultural appropriation. Gaunt, who wrote the book The Games Black Girls Play, studies the intersection of music, race, and gameplay. As I posted on Facebook yesterday, I truly don't recognize the current fascination with twerking more than the final few months, popularized in huge part by Miley Cyrus.She has won several Grammy Awards and now she's taking over the globe of Net twerking. And at very first it bothered me to watch the girls about me struggle to do dance moves that I learned from my friends before the days of YouTube. But we right here at BitCandy feel you deserve better than these inexpensive and NASTY twerk videos that frankly appear like they have been filmed on a potato. A wish to rebel against such a buttoned-up ethos leaves the white girl desperate for an identity via which to distinguish herself. The head of Orenburg's Kredo dance college — where the video was reportedly shot — said the girls in the video were 16 years old, Moscow region's 360 tv station reported.Móviles no son capaces de crear efecto de holograma, por tanto, este apéndice utiliza la cámara, efecto de realidad aumentada que permite considerar Twerk la niña en todos sus aspectos y el filtro especial haciendo similitud con el presente holograma.Appears kind of awkward and forced to me. However, that link…..The very best twerking ever. The greater you get, the wider your knees go. I've even see folks do the splits and twerk — it's a sight to behold. This episode received scrutiny from fans, since of Blossom and Bubbles twerking and making use of heavy contemporary slang, and for Buttercup becoming extremely rude to Ms. Keane. When you loved this post in addition to you desire to be given guidance concerning Twerking Video kindly check out our web site.

Sign UpGet the New Statesman's Morning Call email. Sign-up Speaking at Cadogan Hall on Friday, the self-proclaimed "radical leftist" philosopher Slavoj Žižek gave a remarkably ebullient lecture on pessimism. The Marxist intellectual sought to convince his audience in Knightsbridge that "ideology is still alive and kicking" and that history has not ended. This year has seen a serious academic reappraisal of Marx, with Terry Eagleton and Eric Hobsbawm both publishing books on the continuing relevance of capitalism's fiercest opponent. Introduced to the 500-strong audience as "The superstar messiah of the New Left", Žižek was received with reverence. No-one was there by mistake. A consummate performer, Žižek treated the crowd to a series of entertaining anecdotes, using references to popular culture to show how ideology is sewn throughout the fabric of our lives. "The film Black Swan", he said, "resuscitates one of the most unpleasant myths of anti-femininity. If as a woman you are to follow your career path, you will pay the price of death." Laughter rumbled through the auditorium, but Žižek was serious. "Do not concede to the enemy too much." His analysis of contemporary ideological trends emphasises our ability to accept profound contradictions in society. What he terms the "fetishist function of ideology", the focus on a singular component of life, is explanation for our ideological delusions. Žižek cites the managers of big businesses in the US who take Buddhist meditation classes in their lunch break, before playing the stock market in the afternoon. The fetish is the delusional belief in one's "good" inner-self, despite the evidence of one's actions. "This", he said, "explains why and how most of us believe scientists, that something catastrophic is going to happen, but we are not prepared to act upon it." Žižek is at his most urgent in his denunciation of capitalism and the dangers of allowing market forces into diverse areas of society. "We are living in a strange time, when public space for debate is becoming more privatised . . . The education and legal systems are the hegemonic organisations as the state presents itself more and more as a market oriented operation," he said. "Just as in voting we are consumers looking for the best deals." Reflecting on the decline of sex in Hollywood movies, Žižek atttributes it to the perception of love as a dangerous ungovernable force that doesn't sit comfortably in the market. "We want love without drama." And he believes we are being sold it. Nevertheless, "change is in the air," he said. "Greece, Spain, here a little bit." Many in the audience shifted uneasily. "It's wonderful. Spain depressed me though. Making demands of democracy from above rather than saying 'we will do it.' We live in hopeful times, but very dangerous times... But it's not the revolution, it is the day after. The left does not have one idea." › The hacking of Milly Dowler's voicemails Subscribe For the latest TV, art, films and book reviews subscribe for just £1 per month!

PTL it's Friday. I'll just put most of it out there and say, emotionally, it's been a rough week. After weeks like this one, I have to run to Jesus and and remind myself of his truths, that God really is good all the time and that because of Jesus, the best is always yet to come.
After a particularly long and trying week, it's also nice to have something to look forward to. Jessica and I are hosting a sleepover for our high school girl's group tonight, complete with a Christmas concert, Elf, hot chocolate and cookie decorating (and consuming). As I said earlier this week, Redeemer's annual Christmas Boxes outreach is this weekend. And on Saturday afternoon, we'll get our Christmas tree. Thank you, weather, for giving us proper temperatures to pick out our tree this year. Duck boots approved.
I hope this weekend is filled with a little holiday cheer for you as well.

The goal of the TP18 Conference is to help parishes move from maintenance to mission in response to Pope Francis' vision for Parishes: "I dream of a "missionary option", that is, a missionary impulse capable of transforming everything, so that the Church's customs, ways of doing things, times and schedules, language and structures can be suitably channelled for the evangelisation of today's world rather than for her self-preservation" Evangelii Gaudium" (2013). The conference continues a process of promoting parish renewal around the principles laid out by Fr James Mallon is his best selling book Divine Renovation. We are delighted that Bishop Philip Egan, Bishop of Portsmouth and Paul Donders (Holland) will be keynote speakers at our conference.
Early Bird ticket deadline extended to midnight on October 7th.

Fire safety is always the theme of the Home Depot, Kids Workshop, in October, because October is Fire Safety month. In years past the KW project has been the perfectly iconic, wooden fire truck. The first Saturday in October of 2017, brought a heartfelt fire safety project; the kit contain the makings of a firehouse bank.
The firehouse bank has two slots one labeled for "saving", the other labeled for "giving". One firehouse, two compartments, and built by these tiny humanitarians, I was amazed that all the children were so aware of the giving compartment, "that side is to donate" one little man told me.
The children and parents worked together to assemble the firehouses. Families of all sizes come to the workshop each month, some families with one parent one child, some families, one parent many children….all waiting their turn for instruction. Grandparents love to escort their grandkids to the workshop, generations sitting together to build a tiny project, a tiny project with a big impact.
This Kids Workshop project started conversations about giving and donating, and being generous. They may be children but they are also aware of the people and families that have lost their homes in the hurricanes and the earthquakes that have cause such major destruction and devastation in our world. These children are conscious of "First Responders", terminology that did not exist when I was a child, kids hear more because we hear more, and technology brings events closer and earlier to us, than ever before.
There is a total sense of family and community at these workshops, the first Saturday of every month is the date to save, put it on the calendar: Kids Workshop, Home Depot, 9:00-12:00, every Home Depot, in every state, holds the workshop, rain or shine!
The Kids Workshop projects are great! The kids create something fun and functional; but what is produced at these workshops is something that cannot be held in a hand; patience and sharing, there is joy and excitement when building the project, pride and a sense of accomplishment when it is completed.
The take away from the October 2017 Kids Workshop had all of the above but also had a bit more, these kids left carrying a bit of hope to help someone in need, they left knowing the importance helping each other, it is second nature to them, no question.
These tiny builders are constructing a world where giving is always a part of living!
Bring all your favorite little people to your local Home Depot Kids Workshop……..Give Time and.... Save great Memories. Maureen

If you find yourself surprised to hear that Hot Hot Heat not only still exists, but also recently released a new album, you're in good company.
The Canadian quartet's fourth studio album and first in nearly three years, "Future Breeds," was released in early June, albeit in a fashion that was much less hyped-up than releases of prior years.
And this intentional step back from convention is evident in every aspect of the album, beginning with the nuanced fact that it's entirely self-produced, all the way to the realization that the band has evolved both its sound and presentation.
"The whole concept behind this album was just trying to treat it like we're a new band," said Steve Bays, founding member and vocalist of the group, known for his raw, yelp-infused command of the microphone.
One of the primary catalysts for Hot Hot Heat's sabbatical was the creation of a studio, which they built over the course of the past few years. Bays said they ended up buying recording gear and learning to use it all in an effort to better understand not just music, but themselves.
"Once I kind of figured out what I was doing, we just really started to experiment a lot with music," he said. "Nobody had anything to do with this album other than us and I think it shows. The music feels like an expression of freedom and rebellion."
This is apparent on first listen of "Future Breeds," which dismisses any sort of expectations the listener might have by throwing down loud, infectious tracks with an avant-garde edge. The current lineup also includes original drummer Paul Hawley on drums, and guitarist Luke Paquin, who joined the band after Dante DeCaro joined Wolf Parade in 2005. Louis Hearn is the newest member, rounding out the foursome on bass.
However, the group's new approach to writing and recording music didn't align with the vision that former label Sire Records had for it. While Hot Hot Heat was contractually bound to putting out another album, the members wanted to go the route of self-recording and made a decision to not release or promote specific singles.
"I think that kind of freaked [Sire] out," Bay admitted.
Instead, the band asked to leave and Sire agreed to terminate the contract.
With performance expectations out of the way, the band was able to control every aspect of the album, which features not only songs written and recorded by the members, but also makes use of talented friends, who have contributed to the artwork and the making of videos for the songs.
"it's not just about one thing," Bays said. "It's about the band as, like, a whole entity."
Bays insisted the band never bought into the idea of releasing singles, with the band's manager even referring to them as "focus tracks" in hopes of skirting the aversion toward the word single. But now, even polite euphemisms won't even be an issue, with the band choosing to place an equal amount of emphasis on each and every track.
"When you're on a major label it seems like everything is all about the single," Bays explained. "I wasn't really a fan of [that]."
And while the band has managed to maintain a fairly recognizable and trademark sound in spite of various lineup changes, the members are always working to ensure that each song is different from the songs that came before.
"We always thought our strength was that we would try and reinvent our sound in almost every song," Bays said. "By that logic, no songs should really be the single."
Another way of underlining this idea is to shoot videos for every track on "Future Breeds," which the band is working on with friends, the most recent being "Goddess on the Prairie," which they filmed earlier this month. The band also regularly posts videos of them traveling and hanging out as unofficial music videos, all of which are available on their website.
Once the album was nearly complete but before it was released, the group decided to do touring a different way. Instead of immediately piling into a van and hitting the road, Hot Hot Heat went the route of residences in two major cities.
"It always felt like we were rushed onto a big tour before we had quite even figured out what we were going to do with the songs," Bays said.
But the advantage of playing in Brooklyn, New York, at Public Assembly during the month of May, and Los Angeles at Bootleg Theater during the month of June is that the band was able to not only see how audiences reacted to the music, but also watch as the songs themselves evolved and took on lives of their own.
"We've been playing these songs live since February now," Bays shared. "[They're] starting to get really good."
The band's national tour to promote the album begins today, although earlier this month, they opened for Weezer. At this performance, which was for the US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, Calif., they played to a crowd of 25,000 people – an experience Bays described as "weird," namely because he prefers to perform at smaller venues "where I can see the people are getting what we're doing."
"I don't think I could go my whole life playing those kinds of shows," he said. "It's crazy because I don't picture us being able to hold that many peoples' attention. The fact that we can play to a large audience…is a bonus, [but it's] not necessarily what I want to be doing all the time."
Bays admitted he still becomes slightly anxious when he hits the stage, even after more than a decade of performing with Hot Hot Heat. He still tends to feel uncertain up until the first few songs have been played, which is when the ice begins to break, for him. But that nervousness is just part of what makes him a bit less rock star and a bit more real.
"I like being nervous. I think it helps keep me on my toes," he said. "[And] we're lucky because we've got a good fan base. People appreciate the fact that it's weird crazy music."
Additionally, he and the other members strive to be approachable and down-to-earth. He said he prefers when musicians "show all their flaws" and are "willing to expose themselves," because it enables the fans to feel like they have a connection with the artists.
"It seems like people want to see the sex, drugs, rock and roll stuff, but I actually prefer more in-depth behind the scenes," he said.
For more info: Hot Hot Heat plays at the Rickshaw Stop this Thursday with the 22-20s and Hey Rosetta!The show begins at 8 p.m. and is $15.

The Performer CF is a 1 lb 14 oz adjustable paddle with a carbon shaft, fiberglass paddle and 16" of adjustment range. Its most immediate contender in this review is the Werner Vibe which weighs one ounce more but just slightly outperformed the CF. For $11 less you can purchase the award winning, KIALOA Insanity, which not only weighs less but significantly outperformed the CF in our testing.
In the name "Performer CF W" the C stands for carbon shaft, the F stands for fiberglass paddle and the W stands for Wahine which is the pattern/ print color/design on the blade.

Located in central Sweden in Dalarna on the shore of Runn Lake, what was once a tiny 1930s house has now expanded into its present spacious size, thanks to the skills of owners Susanne, a freelance writer, designer and decorator, and her husband Olle, who owns a construction company. Originally enlarged to accommodate not just themselves but their children, with the kids grown up they're now enjoying having all that room to themselves these days, where they can admire their collection of unique vintage finds set off against the graphic black and white background. Lovely. More here on Bolig Pluss.
