Is it really a holiday if your most memorable moments aren't around the f word? Yep you guessed it, Food! Well of course not, if you're not on the same page as me then you probably need to close the tab on this one because it's a heavy dose of grub.
If you haven't already checked out my last post 'Where to stay – Best of Bali Part #1' then go do so right now. I wanted to follow up the accommodation post with my favourite food stops as my trip was heavily focused on the consumption of food and alcohol, so in order to complete the 'What to do/see' post which will be next, this needed to be done first. I will only talk about my top spots in each place as it will get over the bloody top so please do feel free to contact me for more recommendations if need be.
Key Word : Warung ' Is a type of small family business in Indonesian terms (Cafe/restaurant)
Fact : If 'Bali Belly' wants you, it will have you. I was incredibly cautious and I still managed to get extremely poorly. I wasn't well for 3/4 days so it may have been poisoning – AVOID water washed foods like salads, be sensible when choosing between meat/fish dishes (I ate a lot more fish and vegetarian foods)
The following is in order of my particular trip, I will clarify where I loved the most in terms of eating and drinking when concluding the post, you'll probably be able to tell where I preferred anyhow…
Ithaka Warung
This was the first place I ate in Bali and it certainly set the bar high in terms of quality and quantity standard. I really enjoyed the food here – it was a very intimate Warung but I believe it has very recently moved to a bigger spot nearby. Ideal for dinner and I think many people would agree, I'd suggest booking ahead!
Crate Cafe
Probably the MOST talked about brunch spot in Canggu. I was unfortunately very unwell when I ate here so I didn't go for anything spectacular 😦 Crate cafe is one of those 'creative insta places' there's a fantastic menu to choose from with funny names and well decorated dishes. I think there will be something for everyone here.
In The Raw
Everything here is vegan/vegetarian friendly, it's delightfully healthy and real good food for the soul. I really enjoyed our choice of food but surprisingly so did my partner. There's plenty to choose from in terms of food and drink, The juices are delicious and nutritious.
Finns Beach Club
The Lawn
Echo Beach
Old Mans
Pretty Poison
There are more places to eat/drink in Canggu than you could probably imagine, it would be impossible to get through them all especially if you're on holiday but I would recommend trying your hardest to do so. There were a few other spots that did fantastic traditional asian food but silly me didn't take note – don't be afraid of going to the 'less popular' places because sometimes they're actually the best.
This was an accidental spot as we just passed by, the restaurant was SO busy so we dived right in. They had a great variety on the menu so you'll defo find something you like, I later discovered this to be a 'go to' spot in Ubud – I would say it's perfect for lunch or dinner.
When I was in Ubud I was still really unwell so I actually ate in my hotel 75% of the time, don't get me wrong the food and settings at The Alena Resort is to die for so I don't feel as though I missed out… there are many places to choose from in Ubud but unfortunately I'm not able to assist much on this one!
Gili T
Casa Vintage – Beach
Not to be missed. This was the furthest part of the island I reached on Gili T and am I glad? Yes. It really is a wonderful gem to relax/drink and most importantly eat. I arrived here just after sunset and it was just beautiful, the detailed decor and an amazing bonfire to complement the dining experience on the beach. The food is Jamaican inspired and is absolutely delicious, it has to be one of my favourite meals of the whole trip (fab atmosphere)
Peal Of Trawangan
Best day drinking and Sun bathing spot, best lunch & another delicious dinner. I spent a lot of time here as I chilled on their beach beds throughout the day. It's hard to miss the luxury looking bamboo space so you'll be sure to spot it when passing by. The cocktails were my favourite. It's not the cheapest spot but it's really not expensive either. It really is a treat and the staff make it that little more inviting.
My favourite place to lunch and have a few cocktails. I didn't come here in the evenings but it was always really busy so be sure to come here at some point during your trip – The best strawberry daiquiri & they do happy hours.
I have to admit that reflecting on my time in Bali, Gili T was probably the number 1 spot for the food and drink. I enjoyed EVERYTHING about every meal I had here and everywhere we sat to drink was just really wonderful. This is a great place to catch incredible sunsets so make sure you go to the beach bars – Malibu Beach bar was lovely but you also had tonnes of other places where there were sea swings and beautifully lit lanterns and music to create a romantic environment.
Nusa Penida
The best spot for me on this beautiful island. The restaurant is extremely clean and well kept, The owners were Balinese & German (Sweet little family) & the staff were really lovely. All of the food is fresh and dependent on whats in season – The Tuna Steak & Pesto pasta was to die for.
Penida Colada
This was lovely for a lunch and cocktail whilst overlooking the beautiful sea. They also had great coffee. They also have bags available where you can go collect a bag of rubbish from the beach and get a free coffee, how amazing is that?
Penida Espresso
The best breakfast spot (banana pancakes) & a splendid list of hot/cold drinks. It was pretty busy every time we went so make sure you go grab a seat!
The hardest place to eat but we got there in the end. There's nowhere near as many places to eat/drink as it's very up and coming, the locals even said how much has changed on the island and how many more tourists have started to visit over the last year alone so don't expect to have loads of options… There are plenty of Warungs on Nusa Pendia but its completely up to you what you'd rather go for.
Rolling Fork
Wow. Dinner of dreams. We really loved it here and took advantage of the happy hour cocktails. The Rolling Fork is a beautiful setting in a quiet spot. You'd be a fool to miss this one. It's of course an Italian restaurant because of the fantastic name (couldn't get enough of it) but I opted for the salmon because I was dying for it… very worthy.
Suka Espresso
Number 1 lunch stop. This was one of the best recommendations I had. When I arrived it was busy and it was every time we passed by in the morning/afternoon & evening. A fantastic selection of food and drinks – I recommend having the lamb wrap & one of their fresh juices just like I did.
Single Finn
Sunset – Cocktails & Snacks. You need to get here at a decent time to get a 'front row' seat of the sunset but wherever you sit you can see it. The cocktails were delicious and we had to get a few bar snacks to go along with it. You really have to catch the view from here – If you're like me and need music to go along with it then this is the one.
Another top spot for food and drink – Fantastic location for 'Sundays Beach Club & Omni' which are extremely popular to drink drink and drink. There's not much more to do in Uluwatu so make sure it's worth visiting by going to these places.
There's a Moana in Canggu too & every time I went in it was fully booked but I managed to come here in Seminyak and it was worth the wait. It's a beautiful fish restaurant with only wine on the drink list – the decor and every bit of detail is adorable and you really get a feel for Hawaii 'Moana'
Bo & Bun
Literally next door to Moana, You'll find a lovely relaxed setting for a wonderful asian dinner. I really enjoyed it here – plenty to choose from and the best mojitos. Another popular spot in Seminyak.
The Dusty Cafe
The trendiest cafe. The theme is rustic and chilled whilst It showcases exciting images of 'Burning Man Festival' I wish I discovered it a little sooner into my time in Seminyak as I would've come here more than once. Amazing Mocha to compliment the best brunch.
Coffee Cartel
The fun one. The most instagramable one too… Yes I had my name put onto a coffee because why the hell not? I had to and you're crazy if you don't. Top ratings for the food and fresh juices here.
Motel Mexicola
The most necessary dining/drinking experience in Seminyak. You'll defo hear about it or read about it at some point. They promote a 'shared' meal kind of thing but I would recommend just getting your own meals as I don't think it was worth the money and the dishes wouldn't have been my first choice.
It's pretty wild but so fun. The music is so loud & everyone is just having a great time – later in the evening they have a dj & dance floor but in-between meals the occasional sing-a-long or dance would happen. Good to start your night out.
Potato Head Beach Club
& I quote their tagline 'A destination for Good Times' – I completely agree with this one too. We had a fantastic day here. We got a day bed with a minimum spend and it was worth every penny.
Food is Mood
I've made it to the end. You might now think I'm the biggest pig on the planet after all of that but it's all in moderation – All of the walking/swimming/dancing/cycling you do when you're away it's important to eat well (3 course meal and drinks type of well)
My top favourite places for food and drinks would be Seminyak/Uluwatu, Gili T & Canggu. They had an exceptional amount of spots for everyone to enjoy depending on your preferred 'feels' but nowhere was just for 'certain' person, it was for all and that's what made each place so wonderful.
I hope you enjoyed my food adventure – If there's anywhere in Bali you've been and loved then comment below! I would love to see you all in the comments anyhow, It's time to catch up with my readers

It's common to make mistakes when you're first getting your finances in order, but learning how to manage money early on can help you throughout your life. Brianna McGurran, a personal finance columnist at Nerdwallet.com, shares her tips for avoiding five common money mistakes.
Mistake #1: Not knowing where your money goes
McGurran says the number one mistake people make is not knowing where their money goes after they get their paychecks. They may be aware of basic expenses like rent, but other expenses such as groceries, eating out or travel can really add up if they're not tracked.
"The first step toward managing your money is giving each dollar a place to go," McGurran advises. She recommends using the 50-30-20 rule to budget your expenses.
This basic budgeting rule recommends that 50% of your take-home pay go to needs like rent, car payments, and groceries; 30% go toward wants, like a Netflix subscription or concert tickets; and the remaining 20% go toward savings and debt payments.
But remember: These are guidelines, and your allocations may fluctuate depending on your monthly necessities. "It's more about calibrating those percentages so you're doing what's realistic for you," she says.
Mistake #2: Not having an emergency fund
"You want to have an emergency fund so that you don't have to put unexpected expenses on a credit card," McGurran says.
If you have no emergency fund, begin by putting $500 aside and work toward an ultimate goal of saving three to six months worth of basic expenses, McGurran advises.
Your fund can be used for car repairs, medical and dental expenses that aren't covered by insurance, and other bills you may have in the event you lose your job and don't have money coming in.
"These are real things you need to pay for; they might not seem like an immediate emergency, but it's something you can't avoid and didn't expect to come up," McGurran says.
Mistake #3: Not saving for retirement
While it may seem hard to comprehend retirement when you're first starting out, it's important to start saving as early as you can to take advantage of compound interest.
"If you start saving for retirement early, you can actually save less now and have more money later, and that's because your money compounds over time," McGurran says.
If your job offers a retirement plan like a 401(k) with employer matching, McGurran advises contributing the maximum amount. If your company offers to match 3% of your salary in contributions and you contribute less, you're leaving money on the table.
"Take advantage of your employer's generosity — they want you to save for retirement so you should do it," McGurran says.
If you don't have an employer that offers a 401(k), considering signing up for a Roth IRA, which is a tax-free individual retirement account. You can contribute a maximum of $5,500 per year and can withdraw your money at any time, tax-free.
Mistake #4: Letting your loans snowball
Student loans are a major factor in getting your finances in shape early on, but missing payments or falling behind on your loan payments can quickly snowball and land you in deeper financial trouble.
McGurran says you should reach out to your lender if you're having difficulty with your loan payments. You may be eligible to defer your payments or, if you have federal loans, have your payments adjusted to fit your income. If you have private loans, you may be able to refinance them to lower your interest rates and monthly payments.
McGurran recommends targeting the loans with the highest interest rates first in order to save the most money over time.
While paying off your loans is important, McGurran says you should still contribute to your emergency and retirement funds. "It's really important to have those two things covered—your future self will definitely thank you," she says.
Mistake #5: Ignoring your finances
While it may seem overwhelming to suddenly have so much financial responsibility, it's important to take the time to understand your expenses and get them in line.
"Money is really overwhelming, and so it's okay to feel like you're lost or you need some help," McGurran says. "But don't feel so overwhelmed or confused that you actually ignore your money or your bills altogether."
Understand your expenses, make a budget, and put some money aside, she advises.
"Take a deep breath and know that it's going to be okay. You'll get it under control," McGurran says.

Tips for Choosing Home Improvement Stores
It is necessary to visit a home improvement stores once in a while. Especially when you are planning to redesign or maybe build a new home, this kind of stores provides everything you need. But are every store the same? The answer is depending on what you need.
As of this time, there are two kind of stores to buy home improvement product, offline and online. It is better to use both of the stores in order to get the best deal you can get while purchasing the product. Before going to any offline stores in your neighborhood, try to get the price of the products you need to purchase, so if there are a couple of home improvement stores in your neighborhood you can compare the prices with the online stores.
Using online stores, you can also get the customers reviews on a product. This will be very helpful to help you choice which product is best in both quality and price.
And last, before deciding a product through any home improvements store, offline or online, think carefully and compare each advantages and disadvantages of this 2 kind of stores.
When buying online, you don't have to go anywhere and the products will be sent to you in no time. Unfortunately, it's also means that you never see the real product until it's in your home. That would be disturbing when you receive the product and it's not exactly what you are expecting.
In other way, purchasing the products on offline home improvements stores gives you everything you need to know about the product. Not to mention that you can also see the real things before purchasing. But you need to spare some of your busy times going to the stores and choosing the products. Either way, it's still very best if you combine the advantage of the offline and online stores to get the best product.

Recently Commercial Risk published the article '10 factors in choosing an insurer for a global insurance program'. This article supports the risk manager in choosing the right insurer for a multinational program. As an insurer, we would like to share our vision upon this. For this reason, we have drawn up five main principles that we comply in our multinational programs.
Wherever your business takes you in today's rapidly expanding world, AIG helps clients managing risks with confidence -keeping the clients' organisation safe, compliant, and protected across borders. Our multinational team understands regulatory realities, capital, and tax concerns around the world —and also exposures, coverage and proof of insurance needs, wherever the client on the globe operates. Therefore, expertise that goes beyond borders, is a requirement for a sustainable and trustworthy multinational program.
AIG Multinational is leading the way serving clients in more than 200 countries and jurisdictions. This way we build the right multinational program that is compliant in all the territories of the insured. The benefit of a broad international network is that we have more control over the service towards our clients; such as making sure policies are issued correctly, more consistent and reliable. Besides that, we are able to provide a sustainable service and local claims support when the insured needs it the most.
The world is changing rapidly and we as AIG go along with these changes. This needs an innovative approach, or in other words a: 21st century leadership in multinational program design. With streamlined, technology-enabled processes we try to make our clients' experience seamless, while robust reporting keeps the client abreast of all aspects of their programme. Today, it is a must-have to provide tools that support the buyer when considering a multinational program and when they are insured. This simpler and more consistent execution of multinational business is how we aim to deliver contract certainty and governance the insured can rely on around the world.
To make well informed insurance decisions AIG provides three tools:
1. Multinational Insurance Fundamentals
This tool is a free, online training for multinational risk assessment and programme design accredited in multiple countries.
2. Multinational Programme Design Tool
This interactive tool makes it easy for the buyer to systematically evaluate their multinational insurance needs—from compliance to claims handling.
3. myAIG Client Portal
This comprehensive system provides access to all multinational program details and robust business intelligence.
AIG Multinational is able to issue controlled master programmes (CMP). CMPs offer the benefit of both a single global policy and multiple local policies tailored to match client's local requirements. A master policy covers multiple territories and provides consistent coverage and limits. This is underpinned by local issued policies for each country, which mean local premium payments, local claims handling, local compliance and local certification.
A CMP program knows its own challenges. Nevertheless, AIG Multinational deals with the complexity of a CMP through effective Program Management based on three principles. Firstly we formulate a standardization of what, when and how AIG delivers. Secondly we align the broker, client and AIG on CMP deliverables and lastly we establish parallel communication to local country stakeholders – local brokers, clients' local operations and the local AIG Global Network offices.
We believe that each client is unique. Therefore we strive for a tailor made approach in structuring multinational programmes and allocate premium. We combine clients' specific exposures with their multinational knowledge, expertise and capabilities to make sure clients can make informed decisions. We handle three key principles of premium allocation;
· The premium always reflects the risk presented by the individual territory
· The offer must meet local tariff requirements and satisfy local minimum premium requirements.
· The agreed premium allocation should be achieved ideally before the policy incepts or renews.
Becoming a victim of a loss involves a moment of uncertainty and doubt. For this reason, the security of an insurer is of great importance to an insured. When choosing an insurer, the multinational insurance company must be able to handle claims quickly and efficiently. To ensure a prompt payment of claims, AIG pays claims in-country and in local currencies worldwide. In the case of a catastrophic moment, the insured needs a quick local response with centralised coordination; anywhere and anytime. In the case of a loss and in order to receive immediately a fast service, we provide technical claim specialists who are located in the market and can be deployed within hours of notice. This way we ensure hand-deliver advances after catastrophic events, arrange immediate medical treatment, or secure emergency evacuations. What's more, multinational clients can customise their claim handling instructions to ensure consistent protocols across their locations.

The trees turn a myriad of colours unseen at other times of the year. The hedgerows sparkle with ruby red autumn berries. And my own garden displays the fruits of my labour with green tomatoes desperately soaking up every last ray of sunshine to ripen up before winter sets in. Green beans keep coming day by day appearing as if out of nowhere. Courgettes are pushing on to grow a few more centimetres before being picked. And the bright yellow heads of sunflowers proudly shine their faces towards the sun knowing it won't be long before they will be sadly drooping their heads allowing their seeds to fall like tears to the ground ready for next year.
And it was these autumn treasures from my garden that gave me the inspiration for my Denby Cake off afternoon tea.
Afternoon tea is a way of taking some precious time out of an otherwise busy day to relax with a cup of tea and by doing so tell yourself that you matter. That it is important to make time for yourself. It can also be a time to socialise with friends or loved ones and share the experience of tea and cake together. After all, as Julia Child once said 'A party without cake is just a meeting.'
I love the variety of a 'proper' afternoon tea - the selection of sandwiches, the variety of dainty cakes on a cake stand to choose from.
But the practicalities of re-creating all those different types of cake at home on a regular basis would turn afternoon tea from a pleasure to a chore. So I wanted to create the feeling of variety without the time consuming burden of making many different types of cakes or entrements.
So what I did was make a larger cake to slice along with mini ones on a tiered cake stand to enjoy.
The little edible 'accessories' of strawberry ladybirds and marzipan bees add to the variety with minimal effort.
As do having a couple of sandwich options available cut into fingers and hearts (without crusts of course!) Here we have cheese and cucumber fingers and ham hearts.
The big autumn inspiration for my afternoon tea came from this year's bounty of courgettes and sunflowers growing in my garden. What better way than to reduce a little of the cake-guilt associated with eating cake in the afternoon than to enjoy the goodness of courgette and sunflower seeds inside your cake.
I have made these dairy-free so that they can be enjoyed with friends who are dairy intolerant but simply substitute butter in place of the dairy-free spread if you wish to.
Sunflower Seed & Courgette Cake (Dairy-Free)
5 eggs
320g self-raising flour
300g caster sugar
300g dairy-free spread (I used 'Pure' sunflower spread)
400g courgette (so 1 large courgette or 2-3 small ones)
60g sunflower seeds
juice of a lemon
1tsp rice flour
for the buttercream:
200g Pure dairy-free sunflower spread
650g icing sugar
half tsp vanilla paste
a few drops of yellow food colouring
for the centre of the sunflowers:
dark chocolate chips (use dairy-free if you need it to be dairy-free)
chocolate vermicelli (again check it is dairy-free - some brands are and some aren't)
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C. Grease an 8 inch silicone 'tin' with sunflower oil spray. Grease a 12 hole non-stick muffin tray with sunflower oil spray.
2. Cream together the Pure dairy-free spread with the sugar. Add the eggs one at a time and a little flour at a time after each egg is added.
3. Add the remaining flour and mix.
4. Grate the courgette and squeeze out some of the liquid using your hands. Add the grated courgette and mix.
5. Add the sunflower seeds and the lemon juice and mix. As my mixture looked quite wet, I added a teaspoon of rice flour to stop it being such a wet mixture.
6. Pour the mixture into the silicone cake 'tin' and into the muffin tray.
7. Bake in the oven until cooked through. This is around 30-35 minutes for the larger cake and around 20 minutes for the smaller ones in the muffin tray.
To make the buttercream, cream together the icing sugar with 200g of Pure and a drop of vanilla paste. I added a very light yellow food colouring to mine as the buttercream looked very pale without it so you can add as much colour as you wish to make your sunflowers very yellow or a more mellow yellow as I have done.
Pipe using a 'wide ribbon' icing nozzle attachment to make your sunflower petals and then sprinkle some chocolate vermicelli in the centre.
For the large cake I also used some dark chocolate chips in the centre.
For the smaller cakes, I wanted to leave them 'naked' around their sides to show off some of those flecks of green from the courgette and the goodness of the sunflower seeds. So the buttercream is sandwiched between two cakes and then the flower piped on top.
Now for those simple little extras to make this autumn afternoon tea extra special and pretty.
Maple, Lemon & Rose Marzipan Bees
I had seen some gorgeous little marzipan bees on Frances Quinn's website with a video of how to make them. Frances uses honey & orange blossom to flavour the bees. I wanted to create our own flavoured bees so these are the ingredients I used to make 8 bees:
10g maple syrup
15g icing sugar
25g ground almonds
flaked almonds - 16 pieces
edible gold paint
melted dark chocolate - to pipe on stripes and eyes
a few drops of lemon juice
a few drops of rose water
I think they look rather cute!
Strawberry and chocolate Ladybirds
What else would look pretty alongside bees? Why ladybirds of course! So these are just strawberries cut in half with dark chocolate piped on as spots and a head to look like a little ladybird.
So simple and yet they look so lovely alongside the bees and the cake.
And then we were ready. It was time to enjoy afternoon tea. Not just any afternoon tea but one that really utilised nature's bounty and the treasures of autumn found in my garden.
This is my entry to the 2015 Great Denby Cake Off - more details here!

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) – The trial for the father of Discovery Middle School shooter Hammad Memon has been delayed.
Dr. Iqbal Memon was scheduled to stand trial today for a hindering prosecution charge. He is accused of helping his son try to leave the country in 2012 to avoid prosecution.
Dr. Memon, the trial was delayed until April 7 at 9 a.m.
Hammad and his mother, Safia, were arrested in Dallas. Safia has since pleaded guilty and received a one-year suspended sentence.
Madison County Circuit Judge Donna Pate said there were other trials on the docket ahead of it, and it was also a matter of getting it rescheduled with the attorneys.
Dr. Memon's son, Hammad, was convicted of the murder of Todd Brown at Discovery Middle School in Madison in February 2010. He is serving a 30-year sentence.

The movie hasn't even started filming, and it won't be released until February 2017, but media outlets are speculating the flick will be so much hotter and heavier than the first that Fifty Shades Darker is going to need a more adult rating.
Granted, its not like we were taking the kids to the first Fifty Shades film, but director Sam Taylor-Johnson worked hard to make sure it was given a measly R rating. For this reason, she had to tone down the super-sexual content, which seems crazy, because the entire running time was filled with heat (except maybe that hardware store scene -- still chuckling about that).
More from The Stir: Jamie Dornan Looks Exactly Nothing Like Christian Grey in First Pic From Anthropoid
But now, with EL James at the helm, reports are circulating that Fifty Shades Darker will be so steamy, the studio will need to adhere to a R-21 rating, which by U.S. standards, could mean that it will wind up with an NC-17 rating for our viewing pleasure.
We say bring it on! Hey, if you're going to bring the Fifty Shades franchise to life, you might as well do it right. And if that means it's too hot for a showing at our local theater's Monday Morning Mommy Movies, so be it. And, honestly, the more adult rating will probably make people even more interested in the sequel, because everyone's going to want to know what makes this go-round even more scandalous.

New PV System Installed During ICEDO's Solar Energy Workshop
In collaboration with Arctic Energy Alliance and Polar Knowledge Canada's Science and Technology Program, Inuvialuit Community Economic Development Organization (ICEDO) facilitated a four-day Solar Energy Workshop in March.
The workshop provided participants with an in-depth look at how photo-voltaic (PV) systems (solar panels and their associated hardware) work to collect and allow for the storage and immediate use of solar energy.
As part of the Opportunities in Renewable Arctic Energy Initiative, participants from IDC Properties and Nappaq Design and Construction were provided the opportunity to install a 5kW net-metered PV system on top of ICEDO's country food freezer.
The hands-on aspect of the workshop successfully covered safety, installation of the racking/support systems for the panels, the PV panels, and the wiring and function of the system's inverter and monitoring system. The installation will offset the costs of operating the 40' freezer, contributing to the support for country food initiatives, availability and exchange across the Inuvialuit Settlement Region.
Continuous monitoring of the system's performance is achieved remotely through a web-based application. ICEDO aims to insert this live data for public viewing on the Inuvialuit website shortly.

CHICAGO – The 1960s were a time of historical social transition. The movements – civil rights, feminist, gay rights – all had roots in that tumultuous decade. The Chicago premiere of Basil Kreimendahl's "We're Gonna Be Okay" echoes all of those movements in its characters, and collides them against the October 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.

TUESDAY: Ice Balloons (feat. Kyp Malone of TV on the Radio)
The first time I saw Ice Balloons, I thought they were way too off the wall to ever gain popularity outside of basement shows and Rubulad parties. But is that such a bad thing? This lurching, fuzzed-out act—fronted, naturally, by a half-man, half-fly creature—is just the thing to make you feel you've stepped into another dimension, especially when accompanied by B.A. Miale's trippy projections. [New York Observer - 'Best Bands of 2013']
NYC's Ice Balloons count TV on the Radio's Kyp Malone and Wild Yaks' Rob Bryn as members (along with Sean Powell, Dan Scinta, Giselle Reiber, and B.A. Miale) and together they make a truly weird blend of psychedelic synths, art punk, noise, and other eccentric sounds. [Brooklyn Vegan]

WEDNESDAY: Jordan Carr & The Boys | Evasive Maneuver | Bear The Sound
Reinventing the Dumbass is the debut album from #1 Bad Boy Jordan Carr. Sprouted from a fertile bed of adventure and heartbreak, the record is a powerful mix of Carr's acoustic songwriting stirred in with piano, synthesizer and accordion. Despite the darkened nature of some of Carr's songs, hope shines through. Armed with a beat-up guitar and a cutting grin, the #1 Bad Boy is ready to travel the nation and spread his tales of heartbreak, incarceration, empty bottles and full hearts.
"…Bear the Sound, whose debut ANTHROCENE pulls the listener in a lot of different and surprising directions. There are definitely psych influences, but BEAR THE SOUND's Jeremy Warden also clearly has an ear for pop melody; just when you think the wash of feedback is going to overcome the album, he busts in with a charming little freak-folk ditty that guides the whole thing back on track." [Andrea Swensson, The Current]
For a decade, the boys of Evasive Maneuver have been supporting bad haircuts, punk rock n' roll, and terrible outfits. Singing ballads of chicks, drunken poetry, depression and being raised in a corn field. The members consist of Caleb Harris (drums), Joe McAdams (bass), James McAdams (vocals, electic guitar), and Tyler Kotewa (electric guitar).
THURSDAY: Animal Lover GUILT Release Party
Animal Lover have a sound that hits you in the forehead and gut simultaneously. Frontman Addison Shark's guitar explodes like a dirty bomb of feedback, and the pulverizing bass and drums of Evan Bullinger and Nate Fisher add to its shrapnel spray. This is noise rock powerful enough to leave a lasting physical impression — albeit a confusing one for venues assembling punk nights. "It does get pretty tunnel vision as far as being genre-specific," Shark elaborates. "We'll wind up on a straight hardcore bill because that's kind of just what goes on in that particular scene."

Love it or hate it, The Sound Strike's commercial boycott of Arizona is not going anywhere. The organization is hosting a benefit show in Los Angeles on July 29, featuring L.A.-based groups Aztlan Underground, Fitter, and New York rockers Outernational.
The downtown L.A. show doesn't feature quite as big a lineup as their last benefit, but like that event, proceeds will benefit Arizona-based grass roots legal defense organizations. Proceeds from this show will go to Coalicion de Derachos Humanos and PUENTE.
While the relationship between The Sound Strike and many Arizona music fans can best be described as tempestuous and divisive, at best there have been some gestures by The Sound Strike to actually host an event in Arizona.
According to organizer Javier Gonzales, the lineup of the July 29 show was offered to promoters in Arizona.
"We offered this exact same line plus another band...to several promoters in Tucson," Gonzales says. "One did not respond. Another was interested for a week, and then silence."
"Our interest with this show is to do several of these across the country," Gonzales says.
Gonzales was adamant about clarifying that The Sound Strikes efforts are of a commercial nature, and while nothing is set in stone, the organization could see hosting an event on Arizona soil "under the right circumstances," which could include events taking place on Native American land, or free concerts with no revenue being generated for the State of Arizona.
The July 29 concert will be streamed online, with a goal of creating "a movement," spurring smaller to mid-sized bands to become involved, and to host events nationwide (might I suggest targeting, say, I don't know, Atlanta?).

When I spoke with Gonzales in May, we discussed the impact the boycott was having on the Arizona music community. He described the boycott as a blunt instrument, acknowledging that it had caused some anti-SB 1070 music fans to question the tactics of a statewide boycott.
"I worked for the Janitors Union for years, and one of [our tactics was that] we would march in the street and stop traffic. And the line of reasoning [people opposed to the marches] used was we shouldn't march in the streets becaused it causes traffic [laughs]...In wealthy nations, and status-quo community, is access to first class culture, and entertainment, and art, and interrupting that a bit is an effective tool for people to say, 'You didn't give a shit before.' [During traffic stops] I would say, it's unfortunate that it takes this for you to think about poverty and workers."
Sound Strike seems open to the possibility of a show hosted here, though Gonzales states that the deciding factor in whether or not a show occurs in Arizona rests in the hands of bands themselves.
Federal courts have repeatedly blocked the most controversial aspects of the law from taking effect, but The Sound Strike's end goal remains the same: "Sound Strike wants to not only play a role in repealing SB 1070, but also in galvanizing a new generation of ideas that reject the old ways of thinking while affirming that we are all equal."

Castaway, the first British reality TV show nearly two decades ago, dropped a group of about thirty people on the remote Scottish island of Taransay and filmed them as they argued with each other and fell out brutally and in a psychologically damaging way over the following weeks.
I watched the opening episode, which had the whole group in a room in London before they set out discussing what they would do and how they thought things would work, and I predicted to anyone who would listen (i.e. my family and the cat) that the whole thing would be a social and emotional disaster for most of them. And so it was.
The problem was that - in that London room - they were all talking with each other excitedly and at length in a friendly, convivial, and engaging way.
Think of two island fishermen in their fifties who have known each other since childhood. On a Monday their total day's conversation as they pass each other on the quayside might be:
And similarly every day of the week, with - perhaps - on the Friday:
"Morning. Storm's coming."
They, and the rest of their island community, have evolved a peaceful system of friendship and cooperation an essential component of which is not annoying each other with their personal views, history, random thoughts, and chatter.
Our two friends sit together all evening in the pub in silence, their pints of beer in front of them on the table, taking a sip every minute or two and thinking their own thoughts. If something needs to be communicated (like a storm) they mention it, then shut up. Occasionally the whole community all gets very drunk and sing and play the pub piano and talk nonsense for hours then, the following morning, their hangovers enforce a return to their normal reservation.
A lot of folk anthropology consists of just-so stories about how we are adapted to life in a hunter-gatherer village and how we carry that inheritance over to modern global civilised life. Sometimes, it is claimed, conflict results; one obvious example is xenophobia. But one thing we have certainly not carried over is the circumspect reservation that we can observe today in isolated small communities. Every communications technology we have created - printing, the telephone, radio, television, the internet, social media - works against that reservation, and we embrace them all with delight.
And we wonder why we don't get on as well as the two fishermen.

Former CAWG Chair Bennett Drake Appointed to State Food & Ag Board
Former California Association of Winegrape Growers (CAWG) Board Chair Bennett Drake of Temecula has been appointed to the California State Board of Food and Agriculture by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
"Ben is a forward thinking leader who has provided consistent leadership for the winegrape industry," said John Aguirre, president of CAWG. "He's an ideal choice for the board. He brings the perspective of a grape grower, but I know he will put his heart into working for the benefit of all of California agriculture."
The Board is comprised of fifteen members who are appointed by the Governor. Members are carefully selected to represent a broad range of agricultural commodities, a variety of geographic regions and both the University of California and California State University academic systems.
The Board is responsible for advising the Governor and the Secretary of CDFA on agricultural issues and consumer needs. The Board often acts as a host to bring together local, state and federal government officials, agricultural representatives and citizens to discuss current issues of concern to California agriculture.
Drake has been president for Drake Enterprises since 1980 and served on the CAWG Board for nine years, two of those as chairman. Previously, Drake worked as manager of grower relations for McMillan Farm Management from 1976 to 1980 and manager of agricultural development at Kaiser Atena from 1973 to 1976. Currently, he is a member of the Pierce's Disease and Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter Board, Rancho California Water District Board, California Sustainable Wine Grape Alliance, California Wine Grape Growers Foundation and Murrieta Temecula Group.
CAWG represents the growers of more than 60 percent of the gross grape tonnage crushed for wine and concentrate in California. The statewide association provides industry leadership to advocate for public policies, research and education programs, sustainable farming practices and trade positions to enhance the business of growing California winegrapes. For more information about CAWG, visit their website at www.cawg.org.

Byron Leftwich is out there and would certainly upgrade the quarterbacking situation. And maybe it will take a game or two more for Larry Johnson to get on track. But somehow, it's been determined that missing a 30-yard field goal in the first quarter is the culprit.
Granted, no NFL kicker, even a rookie, should miss a 30-yard field goal. But this is a rookie kicker on his first kick that counts in the first game of the season. I don't know but it seems just a bit knee-jerk to me.
And if the Chiefs were going to go with a rookie kicker for whatever reason, the scouting department clearly didn't do it's job. Green Bay's kicker, Mason Crosby, who has a cannon for a leg and set all sorts of records at the University of Colorado, clearly established himself as someone who can handle pressure.
Justin Medlock was only known as an outstanding kicker by Carl Peterson and the scouting department. I can not understand why the Chiefs thought this kid could do the job. And to be so overconfident in his abilities as to not bring in a second kicker to training champ to see how he could perform with some kind of pressure on him seems to me to be quite arrogant.
The Chiefs problems seem to me to be the following:
* - Carl Peterson knows he won't be fired. He wants a winning team but operates without the pressure of being accountable if he fails.
* - Herman Edwards has turned out to be an overrated coach.
* - Once you get past the first string, at any position, is there a player you think can hold things together until an injured player returns? As I look at the roster, my response is "no."
I thought at the beginning of the pre-season that the Chiefs were going to be a 7-9 team. Now, I'm rethinking that. I seriously see 5-11 as a stretch.
But at least the first step toward fixing all those problems has been taken. They cut the kicker.

Welcome to another CASE-ing the Catty Challenge, this week we are looking at both the Annual and Occasions Catalogues to inspire the creation of a Mother's Day project. I know Mother's Day falls at different times of the year across the globe, but here in Australia it is the second Sunday in May.
I chose the card at the top right of the image above which comes from page 10 of the Occasions Catalogue. I think the Number of Years gets thought of as a birthday set, but it is really quite versatile.
I struggle with totally white cards, I don't know why but I decided to add a little colour by adding Rich Razzleberry as the base of my card. I chose some softer colours for the flowers also. The sentiment from Crazy About You fits perfectly in the banner from the Number of Years set.
I have a little confession to make, I really struggle with adding the twine behind a layer on a card, so I don't often do it. My problem comes with the need for it to look random while at the same time being not very random at all. Well, great news, while making this card I came up with a way to make this work for me and I thought I would share in case anyone else has that problem too.
Step 1 - Take the piece of card stock that you want to put the twine behind and lay it on your Paper Piercing Mat. Measure the width of the card stock and 1/2" from each side put a pin into the mat.
Step 2 - Remove the card stock, and wrap the twine around the two pins leaving a little bit of a tail on each side. Tie the pieces together with some spare twine, or with some washi tape, and remove the pins.
Step 3 - Line the twine bundle up where you want it and adhere with washi tape. I find washi tape allows me to pull the twine around a little and unlike sticky tape doesn't interfere with adhering the layer onto the card.
This would work with any sort of twine or thread so you can expect to see a lot more of it on my project from now on. This technique also works with any shape, and you can play around with how much twine you want to show really easily.
If mine, or any of the Design Team's projects, have inspired you to join in, link your creation to the main page.
Now it is time to hop on over to Elizabeth's blog and check out her creation.

Howdy Wholetonians,
I hope you are feeling great and have enjoyed a wonderful summer, my friends! By the time you read this, I will be recording a new Wholetones project with the guys. In the following weeks, I'll be sharing some amazing testimonies from many of you regarding Wholetones 2Sleep Gen2! Plus, you can also expect some big news regarding future Wholetones exploits. But first, let me take a moment to apologize for any delay you may have experienced in receiving your Wholetones 2Sleep mask.
Most people don't realize what separates our sleep masks from everyone else' on the market—not only do we energize each mask with specific Wholetonesfrequencies, but we also fill our masks with tourmaline (a semi-precious mineral known as the "beauty mineral" that has a host of health benefits). When our last shipment came in, we tested it and discovered that the level of tourmaline was substandard.
Even though nobody would have ever known if we had shipped it, I would. Since I operate with 100% integrity, we returned the shipment and told the manufacturer to get it right! Thus, even though I never want to disappoint you or delay your order, it has to be right when it's delivered to you. Rest assured, we are on top of this. That brings me to this week's musing, "Walking On Water."
Have you noticed that anything worthy of your time requires a sacrifice? Whether it's a good marriage, business, or dream, it will demand a level of faith that you may not even realize you possess. When you truly lock onto something with destiny written all over it, you will be challenged … people will tell you that you're wasting your time, that it can't be done, that the odds of success are too small.
When you hear this, instead of getting discouraged, get encouraged! Chances are you are just around the corner from victory. One of my favorite stories in the Bible is where Jesus is walking on the water and calls to Peter to get out of the boat and walk to Him. The amazing part is, as long as Peter kept his eyes on Jesus, he was able to actually walk on the water; yet when he looked at his circumstances (the wind and the waves), he began to sink because of fear. So let's examine this story.
First, the boat represents comfort. Peter was asked to leave his "comfort zone" to do the impossible. Second, notice the emphasis on focus … as long as Peter focused on Jesus, he could do what had been considered impossible–literally walking on water. However, once he turned his focus away from Jesus and started looking instead at the elements involved in walking to Jesus, faith was replaced by fear. Faith and fear are diametrically opposed; you cannot have both at the same time. If you are faithful, you are fearless. If you are fearful, you are faithless. Never the twain shall meet.
Maybe by now you are wondering, "Michael, have you ever walked on water?" The answer is yes! From day one, nurturing Wholetones has been an exercise in walking on water. Sometimes I lose my focus and sink, but I always get back up again. My prayer for you today is that you always stay dry as you pursue your dreams!
Until next week.
Be Whole,
Michael S. Tyrrell

Luke 1:5-13 (KJV)
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 7 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years. 8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,
9 According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord. 10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense. 11 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. 13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.

Tower Hamlets finance chief 'mortified' over Blackshirt slur on mourning ex-Mayor
PUBLISHED: 17:10 07 March 2014 | UPDATED: 17:10 07 March 2014
A senior councillor has said he was "mortified" to learn of a former mayor's recent bereavement after comparing her to Oswald Mosley's fascist Blackshirts.
Cllr Alibor Choudhury, cabinet member for resources, was gagged by his fellow councillors at last week's budget meeting over his outburst against the grieving Cllr Ann Jackson.
He has since said his remarks were "ill-advised".
In a speech presenting the council's budget proposals, Cllr Choudhury attacked Cllr Jackson, saying: "Oswald Mosely had his Blackshirts, John Biggs has his 'Black Cardigans'."
Cllr Jackson, who represents Bow West, was wearing black in mourning for her ex-husband, whose funeral was held the previous day.
Cllr Choudhury said: "The council chamber is a combative environment. I had no idea about Ann's bereavement and I'm mortified to have offended her at such a difficult time.
"However, what was an ill-advised remark on my part should not distract from the serious matters discussed at the meeting, with the exposure of Labour's free school meals plan as funded for only part of the academic year, and a serving Labour councillor accusing his own party of racial prejudice."
Cllr Jackson, who served as mayor in 2007, said she was "feeling rubbish" on the day of the meeting, having been mourning with her two adult children, whose father recently died of prostate cancer aged 57.
She said: "I was astonished. I made an effort to attend a crucial budget meeting a day after a family funeral, only to be subject to this kind of baseless and abhorrent abuse."
She added: "What really concerns me is Cllr Choudhury's willingness to say anything to smear an opponent, no matter how false or how hurtful it might be. He's an out and out bully."
Jim Fitzpatrick MP blasted Cllr Choudhury as "disgusting", adding: "I think it despicable to invoke Mosley's hateful Blackshirts."
Oswald Mosely was leader of the British Union of Fascists, whose members - nicknamed Blackshirts for their uniforms - marched through the East End in the 1930s attacking Jewish people.

Chairman of the Sparinvest Group Klaus Skjødt comments:
"On behalf of the Board, I am very pleased that Sparinvest can now change the CEO in such a good and well-prepared manner. The cooperation between Per Noesgaard and Jørgen Søgaard-Andersen has been close, and I cannot imagine a better way to make such an important change. Per Noesgaard and I have worked really well together, and I would like to thank him for the many years he has worked for Sparinvest. On the other hand, I also look forward to working with Jørgen Søgaard-Andersen, who has already shown his worth in the role of both Investment Director and Deputy CEO."
Since he started as CEO of Sparinvest on October 1st, 1996, the now 60-year-old Per Noesgaard has headed an impressive development in Sparinvest, where capital under management (AUM) has risen from DKK 2 billion in 1996 to now DKK 85 billion The high growth has been achieved on the basis of a number of strategic initiatives within both investment strategy and expansion of the business area.
Among the most important steps are the merger with AndelsInvest the year after Per Noesgaard joined Sparinvest, implementation of the value strategy, the establishment of Sparinvest Holding, and the establishment of a subsidiary in Luxembourg in 2001, and in the same year, the launch of the first mixed funds and a number of passive index funds through Sparindex. Among the latest initiatives are the very successful pension concept Lokal Puljeinvest and the start of the digital distribution platform at the beginning of this year. All decisions that have helped secure the growth of Sparinvest and prepare the company for the future.
For the past three years, Sparinvest has managed to meet the goals of the so-called "Vision 2018" plan, and after the fulfilment of the plan, Per Noesgaard and the board have found the timing right to allow Jørgen Søgaard-Andersen to take over the work on the future goals in a "Vision 2022" plan .
Per Noesgaard states:
"I am very pleased with the appointment of Jørgen Søgaard-Andersen and I simply cannot imagine a better person both professionally and personally to take over the helm in Sparinvest. I'm also pleased to be able to deliver Sparinvest with the best starting point to reach the goals of "Vision 2022"."
As Investment Director in Sparinvest, Jørgen Søgaard-Andersen has initially used his background in risk management to refine the risk frames Sparinvest works with.
Jørgen Søgaard-Andersen comments:
"I feel incredibly privileged that Per Noesgaard and I have been able to work so close together making me able to draw on Pers experiences while making my own. With the fulfilment of the "Vision 2018" plan, I am ready to take the lead and go ahead with the "Vision 2022" plan, which is approved by the board and will be announced soon."
