5 Things We Learned About "Weird Al" Yankovic From His Howard Stern Appearance
"Weird Al" comes to Comedy Bang! Bang! starting June 3rd at 11P on IFC.

"Weird Al" has been making the interview rounds in anticipation of his new gig as the bandleader and cohost of Comedy Bang! Bang!, as well as his "Mandatory World Tour," which launches this June. His latest stop was with shock jock extraordinaire Howard Stern, who got Al to open up about his unlikely career. Here are just a few highlights, which you can listen to below.
5. He Recorded "My Bologna" in a Bathroom.
Al was just a college kid with a dream when he laid down the tracks for "My Bologna," his parody of The Knack's "My Sharona." Lacking a proper recording studio, he sought out a room with the best acoustics, which just so happened to be the bathroom across from the college's radio station where he worked. He recorded it between flushes, got it on the radio and Capital Records ended up releasing the bathroom recording as a single which launched his career.
4. Kurt Cobain Asked If Al's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" Parody Would Be About Food.
"Weird Al" always asks the musicians he plans to parody for permission, but Kurt Cobain proved a hard one to track down. Thankfully, Al had worked with then SNL cast member Victoria Jackson in his cult film UHF, and used Nirvana's musical guest gig on the late night show as a chance to reach out. When he got Kurt on the phone, the moody musician couldn't have been nicer. He just wanted to know if the parody would be about food. When Al explained he wanted to make fun of how no one could understand the lyrics to "Smells Like Teen Spirit," Cobain loved it. In fact, he later said he thought the song was genius, and it was the first time he knew he'd made it.
3. Lady Gaga's Manager Ran Al Through the Ringer.
Al also tried to get permission from Lady Gaga to parody her hit "Born This Way," but could only get as far as her manager. While Al usually just explains the premise of the song, this guy wanted to see all the lyrics. When Al complied, he said he needed to hear the song. Al then went and recorded his take, "Perform This Way," only to get a rejection from the manager, thereby wasting everyone's time. While he normally wouldn't go against anyone's wishes, because he was run through he ringer, Al decided to release the song online, with a caveat that he never got permission. It proved to be an instant hit, and when Lady Gaga heard it, she loved it. In fact, no one had ever told her that he'd reached out.
2. It takes time for him to get into the "Fat" suit.
Al is embarking on his 2016 Mandatory Fun Tour, a multimedia extravanganza that features "three more costume changes than Lady Gaga." Al says it takes him "a minute or two" to get into the iconic oufit from the "Fat" music video, which he changes into while funny videos show on a screen.
1. Prince Sent Al a Telegram Requesting No Eye Contact.
Years ago, Al was supposed to be seated near Prince at the American Music Awards. Shortly before the ceremony he received a telegram of all things letting him know that he was not to look the Purple One directly in the eyes, under any circumstance. He's since spoken to other musicians, like the boys in Night Ranger, who received the same telegram, so at least it was nothing personal.

The impact of the full force of Yellowstone's Volcano causes a social meltdown. When the infrastructure collapses the social meltdown begins. Think Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Self-actualization and rational behavior depend upon our basic needs being fulfilled. Without electric power, without the major sources of food supply being available, and with the danger of air and water pollution, Mankind reverts to finding water, food, shelter, and having sex.
People band together into street gangs. And the survival of the fittest occurs. Initially, looting for water, food, and shelter disrupts the social order. Then, people ambush food trucks along the highways. Roads become impassable, and the strongest stockpile what little food and water remains. The weather becomes icy cold. 70 % of the plant life in the Northern Hemisphere struggles to survive. Women become sexual captives and government can't quell the rioting.
Europe fares better. Only because they haven't lost a third of their landmass and population. Land travel isn't interrupted there. But in the States, vigilante rule becomes the norm. Volcanic ejecta clogs the rivers, rerouting some and flooding massive areas. Local governments step up to provide protection, but they aren't prepared and don't prevail. An all out war between the haves and the have-nots causes death and destruction as the Yellowstone volcano which still spews poison into the air.
The social meltdown turns America's eyes inward, as our position in the world falls to a third world status. Then our enemies abroad see their opportunity to exploit our weaknesses.
Today. Not next election. Not by bickering in Congress. Today, America must rebuild our infrastructure. Today, America must stockpile for crisis management. Today, we must act or tomorrow appears hopeless.
Next time: The terrorists strike and who will help.

WACA needs new blueprint
Mike Smith was one of the dozens of frustrated WA cricket fans queuing to get into the WACA Ground in December 2000 who heard - but were unable to witness - Glenn McGrath's Test hat-trick.
Smith, who was West Coast chairman at the time, may not have been able to get into the WACA that day but the red carpet has been laid out for him now as the person charged with identifying the best future use for the ground.
Smith retains an emotional attachment to the WACA but it is his ability to conceive strategic answers to big-picture issues, after a career in marketing and business, that makes his appointment so critical.
The WACA is still licking its wounds after the proposed redevelopment with Ascot Capital collapsed last summer while the new multi-purpose stadium at Burswood is likely to provide a fundamental change to the sport's fixturing and economic dynamics.
"These are interesting times," Smith said. "The decisions made in the next few months could be crucial for cricket.
"I am not sure that one particular answer exists for the WACA as it considers its future but it is my task to identify the options.
"The one thing I can say with certainty is that the WACA faces a situation that is as complex as it gets.
"These facilities are increasingly inadequate and there is a relatively urgent need to do something, but we are also sitting on valuable land and it is feasible that within 10 years that something could be done here.
"Any solution has to be good for the fans, good for cricket and financially sound."
Smith will chair the WACA's future development strategy committee which is due to report in December.
It is a short period and Smith admits that his team - which includes Christian Porter, the Federal member for Pearce, and St John of God hospital chief executive Lachlan Henderson - needs "to get its skates on".
It will also operate without any financial modelling on the potential for cricket to be played at Burswood but Smith senses that it is virtually certain that some matches will move there.
Smith said: "Is all elite cricket played at the new stadium with the WACA operating like a North Sydney Oval which can cater for a few thousand people?
"Does all cricket remain here? Or is there a mix somewhere in the middle?"
Smith also suspects the WACA future involves football, with a joint high performance centre and shared administration offices two examples of common ground between the sports.

I'm very happy to finally promote my own personal automation code for bootstrapping the deployments of SDL Knowledge Center Content Manager to GitHub to share with everyone and increase scope. The repository is ISHBootstrap.
The story behind this automation
Let me share the story of what made first create this bootstrapper.
Historically Content Manager has a manual deployment process and that forces a couple of problems in our current process. We've always considered a test server a big hassle to prepare but it shouldn't. You should be able to spin off a new server, run a full blown test and then release the VM. For example I should be able to trigger the entire process during weekend and build weekly performance reports. This is a very standard process on many cloud oriented teams. Also, when a new colleague joins there should be a quick and easy way to get him working with the product. I consider a client operating system almost the same as with a server operating system. Since the unification to the NT core for all Windows releases, I treat them the same at least on a high level. If I had to chose a Windows release that made this a reality then I would chose the Windows 7 one.
To help validate and plan ISHDeploy I needed a multi VM lab for multiple versions of the product. The lab would start with two servers, one for each major version of Content Manager e.g. (released 12 and upcoming 13), but it would potentially grow with more servers representing a cluster. I didn't want to face the above problems for this process. In a scrum perspective that would had been an immediate impediment and it would had been solved with automation and process improvements.
Since nobody had something that automated the complete loop I started building one. This was me solving my future problems that by experience I would face and they would slow me down. My goal is to never login on a server and never depend on the specifics of the operating system. Instead code as configuration automation scripts should do the trick.
Discuss challenges I had to face
I was faced with a couple of challenges that helped me better understand PowerShell:
- When working with servers joined in Active Directory then you inevitably face the double hop issue of remoting. I've discussed about this in a previous post PowerShell Remoting Caveats.
- How do you consistently execute a relatively big peace of code remotely? How do you abstract that code away in terms of code as configuration?
The double hop issue is solved using CredSSP authentication and is explained in the notes of the repository About CredSSP authentication for PSSession.
I solved the remote execution issue with modules. PowerShell modules are a great container for functionality. One of the biggest benefits when packaging functionality in a module is portability. You can install anywhere and consume the cmdlets either with script blocks executing remotely or with PowerShell implicit remoting as discussed in Import and use module from a remote server. In my opinion, modules are great. Besides solving your own problems they get you also in sharing mode. Other people can use it. Even if you don't plan to publish a module to the PowerShell gallery, setting up a private nuget server is so easy, that all the benefits are still valid. It also forces you to think in terms of modules and not a arbitrary collection of scripts. And this is what I did for xISHServer and xISHInstall. I wrapped complicated functionality in those modules and that allowed me to maintain simpler and cleaner scripts. x is for experimental and for this reason they are not published to the gallery.
But if you already think in module terms, then you are very close in productizing your effort. I wouldn't be surprised if one day we officially publish an ISHServer module to the gallery. The functionality in xISHInstall will be properly implemented in the upcoming versions of ISHDeploy.
Pending items for the future
At the moment this post was written, I didn't have any scripts for ISHDeploy. This one of my next immediate goals. Also the code is not commented at all. Script header comments are missing as well as good inline comments to help everyone. I apologize but as I mentioned, this started as an internal personal effort.
Further long term goals are to create some examples for a cluster deployment and to automate this on Visual Studio Team Services using Azure infrastructure for VMs. When I pick this piece then I'll develop the alternatives for domain certificates. I will actually replace the dependency to a domain certificate authority with Let's encrypt.
Please share your feedback
Although the documentation is not perfect, I hope it's a good place to start for others. I will really appreciate feedback, ideas and even contribution to help push this further into the future. My background is focused on .NET developer and I'm sure I'm missing a couple of items that WinOPS specialists know better. You can comment on this post, create issues on GitHub or even .

New information following the change in COVID-19 alert levels. massey.ac.nz/coronavirus
Token content: where Pasifika content is able to be included academic staff need to ensure that it is not tokenistic. The Pacific is home to unique sources of knowledge and indigenous epistemologies that will add value and diversity to the learning of all students.
'Common sense': avoid being ambiguous. Assuming that all students will understand things that are 'common' for most New Zealanders has the potential to affect all students from diverse backgrounds, not just Pasifika. Remember that your common sense does not necessarily equate with universally held beliefs - one's common sense is always contextual and underpinned by life experiences.
Supporting academic success: it is important not to over remediate class content. Any concentrated efforts to dumb-down content will patronise Pasifika students and support notions of Pasifika students having a 'free-ride' through university.
Being overly lenient: balance is needed – be understanding and accommodating of cultural expectations but not to the extent that you end up being overly lenient. If difficulties arise as a result or you have any concerns about a student's lack of engagement and attendance due to cultural reasons, the Pasifika Directorate and other Pasifika staff will be able to safely navigate that space using culturally appropriate methods.
Group work: Pacific cultures are community centred and have strong collective values. Working within a group or a collective is a familiar concept for most Pasifika
students. This however does not mean that all Pasifika people prefer to work in groups. Group work can be an effective tool used to nurture confidence within the context of the classroom as it is often difficult for some Pasifika students to voice concerns and/or disclose intellectual opinions or views individually.
"Hard work is a key aspect in achieving academic success, as well as one's faith and the support that comes from family and friends. There will be obstacles and times where we fall short but having the courage and perseverance to keep pushing until the very end makes it all worth it."
"I have actively taken part in tutorials including the ones held exclusively for Pasifika and Maori students. I was too self-conscious of asking questions in lectures so..tutorials gave me an excellent opportunity to ask tutors questions face-to-face."
"Personally it was not easy coming straight from Fiji into a new environment where the workload and expectation was far greater than anything I had encountered. However, I found that my involvement with the (Pasifika) club brought a sense of ease....and helped me to balance my own workload with the commitment to the club and my peers."

Brussels – Globalization powered by technology has erased many borders but boundaries in human relationships remain, as sharp and menacing as ever. Boundary Spanning Leadership: Six Practices for Solving Problems, Driving Innovation, and Transforming Organizations, a new book from the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL), shows how to overcome these barriers, solve complex problems and drive innovation.
Using a decade of global research and client experience, CCL's Chris Ernst and co-author Donna Chrobot-Mason (University of Cincinnati), take readers from rural towns in the US, to skyscrapers in Hong Kong, from modernizing South Africa to the bustling streets of India. They offer a series of boundary spanning techniques that organizations around the world have used successfully, including Lenovo, Juniper Networks, IKEA, British Gas and Philips.
"Turf battles, generation gaps, and culture clashes are common terms for boundaries," says Ernst. "They are largely about identity and relationship — how we define ourselves and where we fit into an organization or society."
Guy Kempfert, global head, Learning & Development at Syngenta Crop Protection is a Boundary Spanning Leadership champion. "I haven't seen another methodology that responds so effectively to the strategic shifts in the global business environment," he states. "We're using boundary spanning methodology to steer through a major transformation of our business that requires us to work across strongly-held group identities. The book offers pragmatic insight and exercises based on solid research and real-world experience."
"You may be a CEO or a middle manager. You may be in an international NGO or local government. You could be working in Johannesburg, London, Qatar or Moscow, or all of them at the same time," says CCL's Rudi Plettinx, VP & Managing Director, EMEA. "The book's message is the same: through boundary spanning practices, you can solve problems, create innovative solutions and transform your organization."

Vernon, NY --- Jack B. Bailey, 81, Vernon Downs' all-time harness racing driving champion, died Aug. 16, 2014, after a long illness.
Vernon Downs has lost a talented, dynamic driver and a legendary horseman. It's the end of an era for a Hall of Fame horseman who reigned supreme during the years 1959-1978 and ranked among the Standard bred sport's leaders in races won, fast miles and money earnings.
In addition to his Vernon success, Mr. Bailey who began his harness career at the Downs in 1955, captured his initial Vernon championship in 1959. The North Carolina-native went on to win driving titles at Hollywood Park in California, Washington Park in Illinois and at New York's Batavia Downs. He remains Vernon's all-time driving champion with 16 titles (12 percentages and four dash-winning). He established a Vernon season's high standard of 205 victories in 1977, which still stands.
He was a member of the Greater Syracuse Sports Hall of Fame and the Upstate New York Chapter of the U. S. Harness Writers' Association Hall of Fame, as well as a multiple nominee to the sport's Hall of Fame in Goshen.
His favorite horse was the pacer Bye Bye Max, who stood at stud at the Bailey Farm in Vernon following his outstanding racing career. He also stood the successful pacer J J's Biltmore at the farm.
Although racetrack injuries shortened Mr. Bailey's brilliant career, he still managed to record 3,323 driving victories (currently ranked 205 on the sport's all-time list). He retired from active competition in the early 1990s.
Mr. Bailey is survived by his wife, Madeline; sons, Jim (Tammi), Bill (Ann), Jeffrey (Amy), daughter, Jaclyn; grandchildren, Sheena, Nicole, Sarah, Jack, Phoenix, Leon, Ian, Jamie, Jim, one sister, Nancy Myers and several great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
Jack was predeceased by one son Jack L. and one daughter Deborah.
Calling hours will be in Vernon at Malecki's Funeral Home, 23 Front Street on Monday (Aug. 18) from 5-8 p.m., with burial on Tuesday (Aug. 19) at 11:30 a.m. in the area's Maple Grove Cemetery.

Franziska Spritzler RD CDE writes:
However, too much insulin can lead to serious health problems.
Having high levels, also known as hyperinsulinemia, has been linked to obesity, heart disease and cancer.
High blood insulin levels also cause your cells to become resistant to the hormone's effects.
When you become insulin resistant, this causes your pancreas to produce even more insulin, creating a vicious cycle.
Here are 14 things you can do to lower your insulin levels.
1. Follow a Low-Carb Diet
Of the three macronutrients — carbs, protein and fat — carbs raise blood sugar and insulin levels the most.
For this and other reasons, low-carb diets can be very effective for losing weight and controlling diabetes.
Many studies have confirmed their ability to lower insulin levels and increase insulin sensitivity, compared to other diets.
People with health conditions characterized by insulin resistance, such as metabolic syndrome and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), may experience a dramatic lowering of insulin with carb restriction.
In one study, individuals with metabolic syndrome were randomized to receive either a low-fat or low-carb diet containing 1,500 calories.
Insulin levels dropped by an average of 50% in the low-carb group, compared to 19% in the low-fat group.
In another study, when women with PCOS ate a lower-carb diet containing enough calories to maintain their weight, they experienced greater reductions in insulin levels than when they ate a higher-carb diet.
Bottom Line: Low-carb diets have been shown to increase insulin sensitivity and reduce insulin levels in people with obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and PCOS."
Taking steps to increase your insulin sensitivity and decrease your insulin levels may help you lose weight, lower your risk of disease and increase your quality of life."

New to church
Coming to any church for the first time can seem a bit daunting so to make it easier we have created this page with questions you may ask before coming along. If you can think of any other questions that you think should be on here then please use the form at the bottom to do so.
Do you have parking?
The bane of modern life is 'where to park'. In our case there is a public free car park adjacent to the Whitchurch centre with ample room where most people in the church park their various size and shaped motors and old bangers.
Can I bring my child/children?
The children on Sunday morning have their own meetings in the Whitchurch Centre nearby (30 paces). The babies have a creche in the back room. Don't be afraid to bring your offspring – we will make them welcome. All of our children's workers have been fully DBS checked.
What is the size of the congregation?
The church has around 150 members and on a "normal" Sunday there will be some 200 present in the morning. This figure includes around 50 children who have their own group time in the Whitchurch centre close by.
The under 5 creche is in a room next to the main part of the building which then becomes a coffee lounge after the meeting where you can chat with friends. The service is a mixture of worship songs, prayers and sermon, which is a talk exploring what the Bible teaches, and what difference that makes in our lives (this sometimes includes what the Minister has been doing in the last week and often the odd joke or two!).
Sunday evening has around 50 present. This meeting can often be a little more reflective.
Whichever one you come to you will have a great welcome and be made to feel at home.
Is there a collection?
There is no charge for attendance. We are pleased that you come. On Sunday morning the members who don't give via the bank put in 'the bag' but we also tell everyone that "members are expecting the bag, don't be embarrassed – just let the bag pass by".
When do we meet?
Our main meeting is Sunday morning at 10:30am but there is also a meeting at 6:00pm.
Small groups meet in the middle of the week on different days at different places. There are other activities such as lunch club on Wednesday and the children and youth meet on a Tuesday night and the toddlers (and parents) meet on a Monday afternoon.
What should I wear?
The jokey answer is clothes would be a good idea ! But seriously most people come in casual clothes. The older generation tend to be a bit more formal but don't get hung up about what to wear. You come to worship and meet God not a fashion show.

Brett Kelsey, Intel Security"This strategy we currently have is the most confident and ultimately zealot-like mission of actually executing on that I've ever seen us do."Just over a year ago Intel Security unveiled a new strategy focusing on the endpoint and cloud computing as well as unifying protection, detection and correction with real-time centralized management to help CISOs protect the enterprise.As for channel partners that sell its solutions, Kelsey said they will continue to "confidently represent one of the most comprehensive leading portfolios in the industry." As a pure-play security company it will accelerate innovation and deliver an integrated and increasing automated and orchestrated.Kelsey was commenting on last week's announcement by Intel [Nasdaq: INTC] that it is selling the security division to Texas-based private equity firm TPG, which owns, controls and invests in a wide range of companies in software, digital media, cable, real estate and healthcare. It will be headed by current Intel Security Group SVP and general manager Christopher Young.When the deal closes around April, 2017 TPG will own 51 per cent of what again will be called McAfee, and Intel will own 49 per cent in. TPG says it is making a US$1.1 billion equity investment to help drive growth and enhance focus as a standalone business.When Intel bought McAfee for US$7.7 billion in 2010 it hoped to benefit from diversification. Security management, network management and endpoint security products seemed a good fit for a major manufacturer of server, network and PC components. However, Forrester Research noted that at the time McAfee wasn't a key player in two growing areas, cloud or mobile security. Related Articles Mobile banking apps to be a growing security threat in 2016, says McAfee LabsWhile the convenience of banking apps can't be denied, the mobile technology has the potential to be a huge security... December 15th, 2015 Ryan Patrick @ryan1patrick Intel's 2FA solution: A security braceletTwo-factor authentication has been touted as one of the surest ways CISOs can ensure that access to sensitive servers, databases... August 20th, 2015 Howard Solomon @HowardITWC While McAfee does have good offerings in data loss prevention, security information management and other areas, Intel has had to prune the line, including its next-generation firewalls and email security products. That led Forrester to conclude McAfee has suffered "lasting damage from a multiyear dismantling of its portfolio and little innovation while part of Intel."Kelsey couldn't disagree more. "I would vehemently disagree with regard to that. I believe you will see more innovation come out of this organization inside of the next six months than you've probably seen in the last two years … You will see some huge surprises, hopefully, coming out of our Focus (security) conference" in November in Las Vegas.One hint: McAfee will continue to move to create or continue development in cloud access security broker (CASB) and cloud security related security solutions of existing products, he said.Nor, he added, has Intel held McAfee back. "Two major things Intel gave us was rigor and they gave us quality. And we have taken those elements and made them inherently part of our overall capabilities and how we deliver."Separately, Keley also talked lessons CISOs need to learn. "The biggest mistake I see CISOs make regularly is [taking] a pragmatic approach for consideration to the business they're in." Many think only about securing the enterprise, he said, without thinking about how that fits into what the organization does.Another mistake is not understanding how to build an integrated security architecture that will drive velocity in the organization. Finally, he said, "there's still a big missing piece in a lot of cases from CISOs and their communications capabilities to boards." Infosec pros have to learn to talk to boards about security at a pace and capability the directors can digest.He added that he still hears CISOs say their organization isn't going to the cloud in defiance of corporate trends. Organizations have to plan now for how they will secure and protect data when they go to the cloud.In particular CISOs need to think about how they will extend their security profiles into the cloud and be as elastic as the cloud is capable of being. If you look at how quick containers can come and go the security solutions have to expand similarly, he said. And infosec pros have to plan to leverage cloud solutions to drive security into areas like mobile and Internet of Things platforms so they can do "some of the harder work.""CIOS need to start taking that into consideration today, even if their organization is not moving into the cloud now. The presumption should be when we (move) these are the things we need to consider and these are the directions we need to have so we can put security in and adopt it on the front end, rather than wait until (bad) things happen."

As is known, " Raja Harishchandra " , the first Indian film was made in 1913. " Alam Ara " , the first Indian talkie was made in 1931. Films in other major Indian languages followed soon. But Bhojpuri, though a major dialect of Hindi belt of India , waited till 1961, almost 48 long years after the first Indian film. This in spite of the fact that almost all the major hits of early Indian Cinema had rural north Indian theme . Ashok Kumar and Devika Rani's " Achhut Kanya" is the most glaring example of this fact. It was released in 1936. Dilip Kumar's " Ganga Jumna " was made in Awadhi , a major dialect of Uttar Pradesh . It was released in 1960. Bhojpuri Cinema had to wait for one more year, in spite of the fact that " Ganga Jumna " was a golden jubilee hit of its time. In the above mentioned films Ashok Kumar and Dilip Kumar played rural , rustic characters of Uttar Pradesh. Both the films were major hits. Ashok Kumar and Dilip Kumar were gigantic stars of their times , but in spite of this fact, there were no breakthrough in Bhojpuri films."]
Bhojpuri cinema history begins in 1961 with the well-received film " Ganga Maiyya Tohe Piyari Chadhaibo " , which was directed by Kundan Kumar.Asim Kumar and Kumkum were the stars of this super hit film. Its music was provided by Chitragupt, was extremely popular. Lyrics were written by Shailendra and songs were sung by Lata Mangeshkar, Mohammad Rafi and Asha Bhonsale. Its hit music is remembered even today. Throughout the following decades, films were produced only in fits and starts. Films such as " Laagi Nahi Chhute Ram ", " Bidesiya " (1963, directed by S. N. Tripathi) , " Loha Singh " and " Ganga " (1965, directed by Kundan Kumar) were profitable and popular, but in general Bhojpuri films were not commonly produced in the 1960s and 1970s.
The industry took off again in 2001 with the "Silver Jubilee" hit " Saiyyan Hamar " ( directed by Mohan Prasad), which shot the hero of that film, Ravi Kissan, to superstardom.This success was quickly followed by several other remarkably successful films, including " Panditji Batai Na Biyah Kab Hoi " (2005, directed by Mohan Prasad) and " Sasura Bada Paisa Wala " (2005). In a measure of the Bhojpuri film industry's rise, both of these did much better business in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar than mainstream Bollywood hits at the time, and both films, made on extremely tight budgets, earned back more than ten times their production costs. " Sasura Bada Paisa Wala " also introduced Manoj Tiwari, formerly a well-loved folk singer, to the wider audiences of Bhojpuri cinema. In 2010, he and Ravi Kissan are still the leading actors of Bhojpuri films, along with Nirahua and Pawan Singh. The extremely rapid success of their films has led to dramatic increases in Bhojpuri cinema's visibility, and the industry now supports an awards show and a trade magazine, " Bhojpuri City " ,which chronicles the production and release of what are now over one hundred films per year. Many of the major stars of mainstream Bollywood cinema, including Amitabh Bachchan, have also recently worked in Bhojpuri films. Mithun Chakraborty's Bhojpuri debut " Bhole Shankar " , released in 2008, is considered as the biggest Bhojpuri hit of all time.Also in 2008, a 21-minute diploma film Bhojpuri film by Siddharth Sinha, " Udedh Bun " was selected for world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival,later it won the National Film Award for Best Short fiction Film.
Once upon a time writer-filmmaker Kamal Anand dubbed Namak Halal into Bhojpuri , after sitting on its copyright for eight years, as there was no market for films in that dialect. "But today the situation has changed.The new version is called " Babua Khiladi Dadua Anadi " with Amitabh as 'Babua'. The film's memorable songs such as Jawani Jaaneman, Raat Baki Baat Baki and Pag Ghungaroo Baandh Meera Nachi Thi have been peppered in Bhojpuri.The new cinema has attracted producers like Subhash Ghai, Rajshri, Nitin Manmohan and Tinu Verma. Actors Govinda, Juhi Chawla and Nagma are already taking lessons in the language. Even Columbia Tristar briefly toyed with the idea of getting one of its films dubbed.
"It makes good business sense as these films sell in Bihar, UP, and parts of Punjab and Maharashtra,"says producer-director Ranjan Kumar Singh. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh agrees. "Most Bhojpuri films are made in small budgets, usually Rs 20-30 lakh, and they fetch Rs 1-2 crore."Several of these films are grossing 10 times their production costs. A good film can even make a profit of Rs 10-12 crore.
A few years ago, this wasn't the case. While Gujarati, Marathi and Punjabi films got their due at the box office, Bhojpuri films didn't really recapture the supersuccess of the 1982 blockbuster " Nadiya Ke Paar" , which starred Sachin and Sadhna Singh, and was made under the respectable banner of Rajshri Productions.
Twenty two years hence, the tide finally turned. In 2005, Manoj, a struggling singer, debuted in sex comedy " Sasura Bada Paisewala." The film ran for more than 50 weeks in Varanasi and Kanpur in UP and for 25 weeks elsewhere. " Sasura Bada Paisa Wala " made with a modest budget of Rs 30 lakh, grossed a stupendous Rs 15 crore. Manoj's other films such as " Daroga Babu I Love You " then went on to do a business of Rs 4 crore and " Bandhan Tutey Na " has already made Rs 3 crore..
New moral standards are guarding Bhojpuri films. In " Firangi Dulhania " , a story about a village boy from Bihar who goes to study in London and returns with a foreign bride, director Ranjan Kumar Singh, has got the exciting services of an Ukrainian actress, Tanya (what else..)

Bhojpuri cinema is also watched in many parts of the world, where Indian diasporahas settled, including Brazil, Fiji, Guyana, Mauritius, South Africa, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many colonizers faced labor shortages due to the abolition of slavery; thus, they imported many Indians, many from Bhojpuri-speaking regions. Today, some 200 million people in the West Indies, Oceania, and South America speak Bhojpuri as a native or second language[1] and they also watch Bhojpuri films.

WWE vs. the CW
Stephen Amell was on last night's episode of WWE RAW, and he picked a fight. WWE Executive Vice President, Triple H, was forced to settle this matter the only way the WWE knows how...with steroids...wait, no not that. Not this time. Instead, they'll just used plain ol' violence and aggression. That's right folks! The Green Arrow will be in a tag-team match in two weeks during WWE Summerslam!
So what does this announcement mean for the CW show? We can only assume that in exchange for Mr. Amell's presence, the Arrow program can look forward to some A-list cameos from superstars like the Miz and Summer Rae. But we can only hope that Xavier Woods will be cast as the Electrocutioner...unless of course if Gotham ruined that character for good. The other issue for the CW show is medically based. Yes, the WWE is a staged fight. However, it is a live show, and accidents do occur. So, we can only hope that Season 4 of Arrow doesn't require Oliver Queen to be in a wheelchair because Stardust accidentally dropped Stephen Amell on his head. I'm looking forward to not paying any more attention to this story.

U.S. Navy Warship Stops For Hours To Let Whales Pass
A pod of Gray whales was saved from injury or death over the weekend after a whale-watching boat successfully halted a U.S. Navy warship that was moments away from colliding with them.
Captain Todd Mansur of Dana Wharf Whale Watching was leading a tour off the coast of Dana Point, California when he spotted the USS Coronado on course to run over the animals. Mansur quickly radioed the ship's crew urging them to stop.
Thankfully, the 419-foot navy vessel did heed the warning and was able to stop just in time, granting the migrating whales right-of-way for the two hours it took them to pass.
Had Captain Mansur not been there to warn the warship, it could have easily ended in tragedy for the whales.
Boat strikes remain one of the leading killers of whales and other surface-going marine species. In the last decade, more than 50 large whales were killed on the California coast from these collisions, though many more incidents are thought to go unreported.

Why do I feel so negatively about my wedding day? ;'o(
I honestly think that your choices were perfect for your venue it all 'went' really well with your surroundings down to the details like your hairpiece. The photographer really did do a fab job and if you were unhappy on the day it didn't show on the photos....what a smile!
aww thanks! I'm glad you think all the details went with the venue, I hopes they would! Yes my mum said I looked so happy in the photos! I suppose I was happy - I'd just got married! I may have been a little tearful and over emotional because I was so tired, but I was happy to have got married! And I think a lot of the way I feel about the day came afterwards and not so much on the day itself.0
Just try to remember how you felt on the day whenever you feel down and have a peep at those fabulous photos! Unfortunately friends mean a lot and when they let us down it really hurts especially for you as your friend was your bridesmaid. But at least you have a new life with your husband to look forward to.
Thanks ;o) could I see a sneaky piccy of your wedding, Isabella??!0
AussieBridetoBe Posts: 888Aw Froogies you look absolutely beautiful!0
Thanks ;o) could I see a sneaky piccy of your wedding, Isabella??!
Of course!! I'd love you to have a look they're not quite as good as yours though as we had a city centre wedding so the venue wasn't nearly as scenic! Link below.
Thanks, Mrs Foster! Isabella, you look stunning! The dress looks great on you. I love those photos in front of the tree with the gorgeous autumnal leaves! Looks like it was a great day!0
Thanks Froogies, I do love the dress but I've not got any sentimental attachment to it so I've decided to do a trash the dress shoot. My hubby is a construction contracts manager so ive asked him if I can use one of his sites to do the shoot - he works on commercial sites so there will be loads of cranes and equipment. I really don't care of it does get trashed so I'm hoping it will make a good shoot.
wow, that sounds great! I'd like to have some more shots taken in my dress - I think you might have replied to my thread on ideas for locations?? Hope you have fun! By the way I love your profile picture! xx0
Kazhug Posts: 191I think we just build up so much to the day that Im not suprised we feel like that. Nothing went wrong as such on my day apart from being ill at reception but it does go really fast and you miss things. Reading this has helped me girls so thank you!

mrshelen74 Posts: 9,282hey hunney, firstly dont think i said congrats you look radiant and so beautiful, how in love do you both look and that whats counts hun. Brill pictures. Have you decided on your cherish the dress shoot yet.0
Thanks helen74, that's really nice of you!
No I haven't yet! Haven't spoken to my dad yet so not sure if he's got any time free to do it, but will ask him and see what suggestions he comes up with! I have a beautiful park with a lake on my doorstep so I might have some taken there first of all!0
rockylovesadrian Posts: 873Oh ladies. I feel so sad for you all.
I think I'm lucky that I am a pessimist so kind of expected things to go wrong at my wedding. Turns out that nothing "ruined" the day for me or has tarnished my memories but, thinking back, there were a few things that went tits up!
There were little things like, I was first to get ready and had to stand outside chatting to the car man while everyone else flapped around getting themselves ready.
The registrar was late so I had to wait outside the door for ages until she arrived!
The biggest issue was one guest who had e-mailed us 2 days before to let us know she was a vegetarian (!) telling us just as we were walking into the marquee for food and speeches that she had to leave to go to work and her boyfriend (another guest) was driving her so he may not be back in time for the meal either!! That really tried my patience!
I feel especially terrible because I feel that I "know" Sallycinnamon and Nat and have harped on to them about my fab day, not realising they didn't feel the same.
Do try and concentrate on the elements that did go right and were lovely. You all have lovely new husbands now!
Hope you all feel better with time! X0
williamsonjuk Posts: 577I like your hair and I think your photos are lovely.
I know what you mean about obsessing about small details that didn't quite go to plan. As I get further away from the day I am forgetting about these and just remembering the best bits. I hope you do to x0
randa - thank you so much for your kind comments. I too am a bit of a pessimist - the things I worried about going wrong didn't go wrong, and they probably would have been worse than the things that did go wrong, so I should count myself lucky, shouldn't I! Pearlsorsparkle - thank you for your kind comments too. (I like the style of my hair, just thought it looked a bit messy!) I'm sure that with time I will feel like you - that usually is the case with other things that I feel bad about!0

tsarinauk Posts: 863Dear Froogies, I'm so sorry to hear how you feel.
it's funny, because I have been telling everyone that my day was perfect, but when I sit down and think about it, a lot of things went wrong. For example, the peonies for the bouquet were rotten and I had to change flowers at the last minute, bits fell off my bouquet before we even left home, I was late because my sisters couldn't do my buttons up, the registrar told me off for being late, the base of the box of wine got wet and they all smashed when the waiter lifted them up, the cd player went wrong and no-one got to hear the music i'd chosen carefully for the meal, my sis decided to retouch my blusher so I look like Aunt Sally in the evening pics, my dad confronted some gatecrashers in the bar who then told him they were paying for their own drinks, which was cringey!
But I've only really remembered any of that now because I was so happy. In fact the only thing that is still bugging me is that my best friend didn't get me so much as a card, or sign the guest book, and couldn't be arsed to turn up for the meal the night before.
So I wonder if, if you could only make amends with your best friend, that you might start feeling a bit better about everything? I think that everyone's weddings go a bit wrong, but it's the feeling that is perfect, not the day itself. I hope you will start looking at the day more fondly in the future, from your pics you look beautiful and happy and I'm sure you must have felt that way at the time0
Thanks, Tsarina. I suppose I just have to face the fact that my best friend is not perfect, and be grateful that she is still there for me! I don't think she intentionally set out to hurt me or realised what she was doing.
Today I had yet another long think about how things turned out on the wedding day. I am starting to realise that not everything could have worked out the 'perfect' way I'd planned because you just can't always predict how certain things will run, and certain things do change according to other circumstances on the day.
I have learned something about myself that I find hard to change but really want to try, and that is that I always mull over the little details of everything too much and lose sight of what is really important - I'm a perfectionist over everything and it often takes over everything so that the important things get spoiled. And all the things I worried about did go well.
I wish I had spent more time before the wedding telling myself that what mattered was enjoying time with my husband and guests on the day, and less time thinking about what the dream wedding should be.
So, while today I have started to feel better about the details that didn't go according to plan and am starting to accept that it was inevitable that not everything would be as planned, I have now started to feel guilty, sad and angry at myself that on the day (and during the honeymoon) I spent time worrying about those things instead of really enjoying the day. For example, I hadn't realised that I wouldn't be able to hear the string quartet from where we had photos, and I had really been looking forward to hearing them during the photos, so instead of enjoying having photos taken with my new hubby, I was upset about that!! So it feels like I can't actually remember feeling happy on the day, though I'm sure I must have been, it's just that I had so many other things going through my mind that happiness at being married and enjoying the party was not the only emotion I was feeling. (I know that getting married was the most important thing, but I also wanted to enjoy the various aspects of the day that I had paid for and planned!!!)
So I think I am going to have to go through various different emotions and thought processes before I start to look back on my wedding as the happiest day of my life; it's a shame that it has to be like that, but if I feel happy about the day eventually, that's the main thing!
Sorry it was another long one, and thank you everyone who has supported me on here. xxx0
I do feel a bit sorry for the people who think they had a bad day but I also find it a bit annoying.
I dread to think how much we all spent on one day of our lives and to then focus on the bad things seems to me such a waste of energy.
A wedding is supposed to be a celebration of a marriage, which is the start of a new life, its not meant to be 'perfection'.
The reason it cannot be perfect is that people are not perfect. I think sometimes brides put too much emphasis on what other people do or say or think.
Surely, the day is about you and your husband.
I think the low let down feeling is just coming down from the planning and adrenalin rush and so its easy to focus on 'so called' bad things.
Sorry but you need to get a grip, get some perspectiove, enjoy being married and loved (be thankful you are not alone in the world) and stop whining about the 'bad' day you had.
MrsRawden to be - I appreciate your comments and think maybe you're right that focussing on the bad things is partly due to a come down feeling. But I think that saying I'm whining is a bit unfair. I am merely trying to make sense of my feelings and see what other people think to hopefully help me to get rid of these feelings. I think more people than you realise feel this way afterwards without really knowing why, and we are simply trying to work through our emotions - we don't choose to feel this way, we wish we didn't. My mum's friend's daughter even went on anti depressants after her wedding.0
Even tho I'm a B2B and haven't got married yet, I think there are two issues here at least.....
The first is that so many brides feel very down after their wedding (my friends have said they felt the same), after all the preparation and work, people often crash into depression. It seems its very common after all the excitement and that.
The second is that as a society we put far far too much pressure on our weddings to be 'perfect'. I'm not saying that the OP is any more guilty than the rest of us. So much detail and work goes into the modern wedding, the wedding industry (and it is an industry) sells the idea of perfection all the time and people often have such high expectations which can end up unrealistic at times. I'm desperately trying not to create a 'perfect' day, but have a lovely a day as possible and as long as I end up married by the end of the day, then if things do go wrong (as they will I'm sure), it wont matter. In reality, all we need to get married is the two of us, a vicar/registrar with a licence, two rings and two witnesses. The rest is all what we choose to have.
Also wanted to send (((HUGS))) to you froogies, you sound as if you need a virtual hug. )
[Modified by: Moonglow on November 02, 2009 04:03 PM]
Moonglow, firstly thank you so much for your virtual hug, that's very sweet of you! I know now that many brides feel post wedding depression - I wish I had known that before!
You're so right about the pressure on brides for the wedding to be perfect and the way in which the industry takes advantage (just look at how much companies charge in comparison to other events). The thing is,as I was working to a strict budget I knew I would never have the 'perfect' wedding, and I anticipated that certain things may go wrong, so I don't understand why I am feeling like this! I can tell myself all the logical arguments in the world - e.g. what matters is we're married, it could have been worse, everyone enjoyed themselves, so many things went well, etc., but I can't get rid of this negative feeling and I'm so annoyed at myself for that!
Maybe it is all about a come down feeling, and maybe because I can't make sense of the feeling I am trying to find excuses for feeling like that, i.e. what went wrong on the day.
The more I discuss it on here, though, the more I am starting to put it in perspective and gradually feel better, so that has to be positive!0
No problem froogies! I think its healthy to question why you feel the way you do, it helps to make sense of our feelings. I know I try to do the same.... It is possible that you are more annoyed at certain things going wrong in hindsight because you are feeling down rather than them causing it. As long as you are feeling better for sharing it though!!
I'm very cynical about the wedding industry, you may have noticed!! I figure that when my parents and grandparents got married, they didn't have wedding fayres with someone telling them they need 2 dancing storks and a fountain outside the wedding venue to make it perfect! Sorry, started to rant now!
froogies, sorry if I was a bit harsh,. I just think you are being too hard on yourself in a way and letting this spoil the fact that you have married the man you love.
It is only one day and one that in time (whether you think so or not) will fade to just a pleasant feeling.
I think the crash after the wedding is normal and I felt a bit bereft after it was all over, but I look at the pictures think about my dress, am mkaing a box of wedding keepsakes and souvenirs and creating an album.
how about finding another exciting project? lose weight (if it applies), try to start a new hobbie, make a baby (wink wink), all those things may help,.
maybe even just start a new book, buy a new pair of shoes. I am sure the feeling of malaise will pass.
There are things about my day I could be upset over (my dress was not tight enough, I did not speak to as many people, there are no pictures of me without a drink in my hand, I looked fat, my father being in a wheelchair and not being able to dance with me) but I REFUSE to give in to these feelings!!!!
come on girl bring some PMA and be thankful for what you do have which is a good man, lovely memories and hopefully no HUGE debt!!! lol
big kiss xxx0
Thank you for your kind comments, Mrs Rawden, I realise you didn't mean it to sound as harsh as the way i took it! I am starting to feel that the things that went wrong are not that important anymore; I suppose I just still wish my best friend could have been more happy for me; but maybe she was and just didn't know how to show it. As you say, at least I have my hubby and a life together to look forward to, and we do have some great photos and soem great memories of the day to look back on! Oh and if that is you in your avatar, you don't look fat, that dress is lovely! xx0
Hi girls
Very interesting post and sad to hear so many things going wrong for people. It really is down to expectations and more often than not its our expectations of others that let us down - we tend to think that people will give us what we would give them and it's unfortunate when they don't!
Friends are often a surprise and I have taken the run up to my wedding as an opportunity to assess some friendships where I felt I gave and got nothing back. If a ???????friend??????? cannot be there for you for your wedding then they're not friends of mine. I know some say you might be being absorbed and self centred but how dare they critisise this - if you had had a baby and went on about it and could only talk about the baby (as a lot of new mom's do) they wouldn't dare comment that you are too absorbed in your baby so why do they think they can about your wedding? Jealously probably. I was firm that it was MY time, let me have these few weeks of me being the centre of attention and I'll get back to normal afterwards - I was supportive when they were getting married so expected the same back. A couple did let me down so I'm probably just going to let the friendships fizzle out. These are friendships that I realise I haven't been getting much out of anyway so now the weddings over I can just leave them be. So it's not that they let me down for the wedding just that the wedding has crystallised my feelings about these people.
I was conscious about how much in control I needed to be about the wedding and so planned for what I thought was everything that could possibly go wrong - the things that did go wrong (or off-plan as I'd rather refer to them) I could not have done anything about so I feel fine to let them slide. For example the Registrar was late so everything was put back half an hour - it wasn't a problem as we made up the time and I wasn't bothered, just spend half an hour putting on more make up!
Couple of let downs with the venue but no one else noticed and I will probably forget these over time. And the photographer had had a stroke two weeks before so rather than cancel on us he came but didn't stay as long as he was supposed to as he had to get back to hospital! He's knocking off some money and still took over 200 photos so I don't mind - lots of friends have also took great photos.
The key thing was though I never expected it to be the best day of my life. I've planned events before and they are difficult, expensive and stressful and on the day you are just glad to get things moving along. So I sort of expected to feel that way about the wedding which had turned into more of a project. Because of this I think I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. We didn't invite all and sundry so we could really spend time with everyone and everyone turned up who said they would etc etc - again these things you can't control but you have to be realistic about other people and how they don't put the same importance on your wedding as you might on theirs - it just means you're a more decent, considerate person!!
I think if you expect it to be the best day of your life and you get married in your 20's or 30's then how can you possibly live the other two thirds of your life knowing the best day is behind you? What can you aim for, how can you be ambitious if you always feel the best is in the past? It's a negative attitude that is only going to make you depressed - and possibly trouble your marriage. It needs to be put in context - a great celebration of finding your one true love and the start of a fabulous life together with lots of plans and lots more ???????best days??????? to look forward to. x
Hi natz, they are really helpful comments, thanks. What you said about the 'best day of your life' being behind you has really made me think. You are so right! I should be looking forward to other great (and greater) days - the birth of our child if we have one, great experiences we have together, etc.
I know what you are saying about the planning - it's all a lot of effort and you can't expect everything to go according to plan; on the day I was still thinking about how things should be running! I do miss the planning though, as it was a really fun project for me. I don't enjoy work much and my hubby works shifts so often I'm on my own; it was my little bit of escapism and excitement, and I tried to explain this to my best friend when she accused me of letting it become all consuming.
You're right - why shouldn't I have spent a lot of time talking about it? Will she not be the same when her wedding day approaches? maybe not, but that doesn't mean I am wrong for being like that. I never once asked her to help with planning; I don't see the odd text asking for her opinion or saying I am excited, when we DID also talk about other things (and hardly talked about the wedding during bridesmaid dress shopping) as being too demanding and having 'high expectations' of our friendship. My sis in law even commented that she hadn't done much as MOH and told her on my hen night that she should really buy me a drink!!
I had felt for about a year before the wedding that she wasn't as bothered about the friendship (but whenever we met up things were the same as before and I told myself I was being paranoid). What really hurt was that a couple of years ago I forgot to reply to a couple of texts. Even though I was always the only one who suggested meeting up and who phoned up for a chat, she accused me of being a crap friend because of it; yet, over the past year, she has been doing the same - not replying to texts! I told her this too. she just said that next time wanted to air some gripes, I should think about what she had done for me recently!!
I just don't know what to do. She really was the best and closest friend I ever had and the one I can most be myself and have a laugh with. If any of my other friends had behaved like her, I would have no problem letting the friendship fizzle out. I can't bring myself to do that with her; but I also feel really resentful and let down, but can't say anything due to how she'll react.
I always said I'd be so excited for her and wanting to get involved if it was her wedding; she wasn't like that with me. I could understand if I had constantly asked for her help or was on the phone all the time about the wedding, but it wasn't like that. She did agree to be my MOH after all!
When it's her turn, I'll do the right thing and offer all my support and help and show an interest and put her to shame, haha! or maybe she just won't want to share it with me, like I wanted to with her.0
Sounds like it's more the friendship that's getting you down now than the wedding day. I decided to call time on a friendship a few years ago (girl i knew from school, i was always there for her but things got messy when I met my now husband ) it was very difficult but got really toxic and i can now see that she'd been happy to be the prettier friend who was always centre of attention with boyfriend troubles - i was the single mate who was always there for girls nights out, holidays etc. When things changed and i was with my now hubby the slant of our friendship changed and she didn't like it. Obviously I wasn't an angel either - i kept pushing for her to give me what i'd always given her but she didn't want to. We've completely cut ties and i feel so much better for moving on. It is worse than splitting up with a man though!
I'm not saying you cut ties with her but it does seem she's the one that you have the most issue with. You've already told her how you feel and how let down you were but she still isn't seeing what the problem is. It does seem to be a case of you valuing the friendship more than her.
My advice is to just keep your distance from her for a bit, obviously don't be rude or create arguements but just concentrate on your marriage and maybe throwing yourself into another project (new job if you're bored?). You are probably giving the friendship far more thought than she is. If you feel let down then don't put yourself up for being let down again - distance yourself and see if she comes round to you.
Friends do come and go and we do hang onto friendships that aren't good for us or rewarding just out of a sense of loyalty or the fact that because the friendship has gone on for years you feel you should stay friends. But it drains your time and doesn't allow you to meet new friends who you may now have more in common with.0
Hi babe, Just wanted to say that after we got back from honeymoon, I hit a brick wall, I felt really negative about the wedding too, and hubby was so annoyed saying it was the best day of his life and why didn't I feel the same.
I think sometimes the expectations are so high and the little thigs can really irritate you especially if you are a perfectionist!! I had to see a counsellor as I was just cryng all the time, its slowly got better.. post wedding blues are very common.
Hope you feel better soon. XXX0
I had a huge row with my family the day before the wedding and was in bits, dad thanked mum for everything and made out he paid for the wedding, which really upset me, all I wanted was for him to raise a glass to his beautiful daughter and new son in law blah blah.. no none of that just thanks to mum for giving birth to me..
Then mum said she would look after my wedding bouquet until i got back from honeymoon, and sent me a text video of her pulling petals off and floating the bouquet doen a canal, apparently in loving memory of grandparents who had passed away (like 10 years ago).. A nice gesture in mums eyes, but not her bouquet to do that to..
mum lost the silk rose coursage which went on the side of my dress, I just had a plastic freesure pinned on as substitute.. lots of other little things went wrong, but I guess you can't forsee the future and plan everything, sometimes unpredictable things happen and its awful, but you have to get over it otherwise it eats you up inside.
I have learn to "let go" and move forward to enjoy married life.. perhaps try planning a lovely anniversary holiday, a family, new career, hobby if anything to fill the void.
If you want to chat please let me know, I know how you feel.. I got married beginnign of August and still feel blue, am still seeing a counsellor and have suffered with bad ezcema, flu bug, and feeling low for months now!!! Big hugs. XXX0

JW's got it down! So much soul, and nice material. You can't beat it. I am telling the truth.
Hubert Sumlin
Canada's Top Touring Blues Act, JW-Jones is back with another blistering CD.
On his 6th release on the CrossCut Records label, Jones teams up with two legendary bluesmen, Hubert Sumlin (worked with Howlin' Wolf for over 20 years, and was named in the 100 Greatest Guitarists of all Time by Rolling Stone Magazine) and Charlie Musselwhite (known as one of the top harmonica players in blues history, he has won 18 W.C. Handy/Blues Music Awards, 6 Grammy nominations, and was the harp player on INXS' 'Suicide Blonde').
Midnight Memphis Sun contains 8 originals (6 co-written by Governor Generals Award winning writer Tim Wynne-Jones) and 4 covers. The majority of the disc was recorded at the birth place of Rock and Roll, Sun Studios in Memphis, and features modern song writing about current issues including the global recession (check out the R&B flavored 'Off the Market') and the Bernard Madoff scandal (on the hard-hitting 'Born Operator').
In summer 2009, Jones performed festivals in Canada, USA, and Europe with guest Little Charlie Baty, co-founder and long-time guitar player fronting Alligator recording artists, Little Charlie & The Nightcats.
"One of the country's top blues guitar stars" (Globe and Mail), JW-Jones has one of the most energetic and exciting live shows on the scene and has played 14 countries and 4 continents.
During a special appearance with the band, Hollywood celebrity and fan, Dan Aykroyd said, "this is an amazing blues band, and I've played with the best!" Aykroyd wrote the liner notes for the '08 release Bluelisted.
In 2009, Guitar World Magazine featured a CD called 'Guitar Masters Vol. 2' that put Jones alongside guitar stars B.B. King, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Carlos Santana and more.
The buzz this band has created over the last decade has earned them a national award – the Maple Blues Award for Electric Act of the Year, and rave reviews throughout the globe. Jones has been featured by Blues Revue Magazine and can be found in the books All Music Guide to Blues and Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings.
It's great to see young people have the right idea about what blues music is. Already unbelievable and he's only going to get better… he's a natural with excellent phrasing.
Kim Wilson, Fabulous Thunderbirds

Reviews CCD 11102
JW-Jones' sixth release for Crosscut records is yet another blistering set of blues and soul that confirms his status as one of the genre's brightest young talents. Recorded mainly at the Sun Studios in Memphis, Jones appears to have been inspired by the location to produce a set that would have delighted Sam Phillips. (…) Another killer set from Jones.

Throughout 2017, Canada is celebrating 150 years of Confederation — the unification of the four colonies that existed in 1867. Confederation led to dramatic changes in Inuit culture and society. As Canadian power solidified and expanded outward from Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, the federal government increasingly took control of Indigenous peoples and our land and resources. Our historical interactions with explorers, missionaries, whalers, and fur traders set the stage for the drastic changes undertaken by the federal government post-confederation to undermine Inuit self-determination. By 1917 Inuit were being prosecuted in Canadian courts. In 1939, the Supreme Court of Canada determined that Inuit were Indians and therefore the responsibility of the federal government, largely on the basis that in the historical record Qallunaat used the same racist, dehumanizing language to describe Inuit and First Nations. It was only in 1950 that we gained the right to vote in federal elections yet most Inuit remained disenfranchised until 1962 when ballot boxes were placed in more Inuit communities, just 55 years ago.
Inuit have used and occupied more than a third of Canada's landmass for millennia and it is on this basis that leaders in our respective regions negotiated and settled land claim agreements with the Crown in an effort to reject what has until recently been an uncompromising relationship. However, our way of life has been rapidly transformed in this relatively short period, especially during the second half of the last century as the federal government extended Canadian law and bureaucracy into Inuit Nunangat, relocated Inuit families, and imposed schooling on Inuit communities. The federal government's policies caused distress and trauma for many Inuit, the reverberations from which are still being felt today. Inuit remain resilient despite these challenges. As Canada celebrates its 150th birthday this year, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami will be undertaking a project entitled "Inuit Nunangat Taimannganit" that highlights continued Inuit resilience through 150 stories of Inuit Nunangat. Through our own words, we will celebrate our people, families and communities' intimate and foundational connections to our land and what these connections mean to our Inuit democracy, our political and personal perspectives, and for our future.
My father was born on the south side of Nutak in Nunatsiavut. He was forcibly relocated to Hopedale with his parents and siblings when he was a young boy and soon after taken to an orphanage in St. Anthony, Newfoundland, where he spent the rest of his childhood. He longed for the land where he was born all his life, and if his human rights were respected, it would have been where he grew up. You won't find it on most maps of Canada, but it is part of this country and an everlasting part of who I am.
We will share stories like my father's through photos and video shared one at a time through social media, and as a collection first online and later as a travelling exhibit to engage Canadians in the stories of Inuit and Inuit Nunangat. Highlighting and documenting some of these rich connections is a practical way to affirm the central role played by Inuit land use and stewardship in our own culture and society as well as in Canadian society as a whole. The federal government has in the past made calculated efforts to terminate this important aspect of who we are, even going so far as to limit the transfer of knowledge from one generation to the next by attempting to suppress our language through residential schools. However, Inuit continue to define our own path forward.
Too often the significant challenges we face within our communities can seem to overshadow the people and places that each day help to ensure our spiritual survival by keeping our language alive, maintaining our way of life, and living our values. Inuit Nunangat Taimannganit will celebrate those people and contributions.
Natan Obed President,
Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami

Tips to beat the heat this summer
This summer is not going to pass like the usual summer because year 2007 is known to be hottest year ever. The combination of global warming and the El Niño weather phenomenon makes this year hotter than any other year. So your expectations of summer heat will probably be higher than the usual summer.
As a public awareness it's our duty to take care of our health to beat the heat. Here are some quick tips to make it up for the heat.
Basically we tend to expose more of our body to sun especially during summer which results in the loss of water from our body by process of draining (Sweat) and so there is a lack of resistance and energy. So maintaining the body water level is very important.
The simple best way to prevent your eye from heat exposure is to wear sunglasses. But if your sunglasses are not worth to protect your eyes from UV rays then throw it out. Already due to the depletion of Ozone layer, we are highly prone to UV rays, so the next times when you wear sunglasses make sure it protects you from UV rays.
- In taking plenty of liquid foods like Juice, sodas, beer, shakes, WATER.
- It is better to avoid heavy and fatty foods especially those which are oily.
- Fruits are the best active energy agents that keep you active ever. As we all know a famous quote "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" fruits like grapes, watermelon keeps your body cool and regulate the heat.
- Non-vegetarian foods should be avoided. Do not eat out-side or street cooked foods, try to switch for fresh and green vegetables at least for this summer.
Also summer heat makes your hair brittle leading to hair damage. Try to use hair moisturizes if you don't use alternative hair polishers like coconut oil, cream, gel etc. Whenever you leave outside, it's advisory to wear a hat to prevent direct ray exposing your hair. At least carry an umbrella whenever you go outside.
Try to avoid outing always, reduce your travels and air condition your house if possible or try to ventilate at most as possible. For protecting your screen use Sunscreen lotion.
Non-vegetarian foods should be avoided. Do not eat out-side or street cooked foods, try to switch for fresh and green vegetables at least for this summer.
