New Politics, Dreamers & the Wrecks @ the Showbox – 3/4/18
Photos by Alex Crick
Memory Lane Series, part 39
The superb Danish trio New Politics visited Seattle's Showbox in March. They're an exciting trio of great musicians and entertainers who've built a huge fanbase over just a few years. Part of that fanbase includes Weezer's River Cuomo, who worked with them on the track "Tell Your Dad," off the latest New Politics album Lost in Translation. That's awesome. And as they confirm in their about section on Facebook, they are, indeed, "Danish as f*ck." Opening for the night were two Los Angeles bands: the Wrecks (by the way, they return to Seattle for a show at El Corazon on 11/11), and Dreamers (who'll be back in Seattle on 10/24 at Chop Suey).
Part 38
Jay-Z @ KeyArena – 12/13/17
Show Review & Photos by Josh Daniels
Memory Lane Series, part 38
Let's just get this out of the way now: Jay-Z is the god-damned man. He managed to spend two full hours strutting around the stage like it was the "Big Pimpin'" era, never missing a beat or lyric. In many ways he outshone the next generation of rappers, not bringing a hype man on stage or letting the background track do most of his singing/rapping for him. The only performers in KeyArena that brought a matching level of energy and skill was his insanely talented house band. Partially buried beneath the ever-moving stage in what can only be described as a fairly conventional orchestra pit, the musicians manning drums, percussion, guitars and more, not only kept the energy level at 100% through the entire set but elevated HOV to an even higher standard of performance. In one case, the guitarist (who had no part in the song), jumped up and down swinging a hype towel for the entirety of "Big Pimpin'". This is worth mentioning not because it was some outstanding moment of the set, but because it was the standard for every second of it. Whether sauntering around the stage or standing at a mic stand in the center of it, Jay-Z kept the energy level high and delivered every beat of his classics perfectly, mixed in with selections from his new album, 4:44.
Speaking of 4:44, the album itself is good. It boasts a ton of acoustic instrumentation and has a very organic feel to it. But good lord, this album was meant to be performed live. Every single track from 4:44 was more compelling in its softer and more honest moments, or energizing in its more upbeat ones, than any recording that Jay-Z and company put to tape and released. If I've ever before yearned for a live bootleg of an album, 4:44 takes the cake.
In stark contrast to the energy of the night was the glaring issue of the most effective way to present a solo artist, keeping them interesting and compelling while they, well, walked around stage rapping. Unlike Justin Timberlake or other pop acts, there were no dancers or onstage antics, and unlike Snoop and crew-based rappers, there wasn't an entourage of hype men jumping around in the background. It was just Jay-Z and the crowd.

The Shins, Foxygen & Day Wave – 9/23/17
Photos by Peter Dervin
Memory Lane Series, part 37
Another cool set of photos by Peter Dervin, these ones taken at the Shins' Marymoor Park headlining performance in '17. Last year and this year, the Shins did a very intriguing thing: after releasing Heartworms in '17, they redid that album in '18. Called The Worm's Heart, the album was "flipped", which means the band made new versions of every track. Remakes are always exciting. Also on the bill for the Marymoor Park date were California's Foxygen and Day Wave.

Yes & Todd Rundgren – Yestival @ Tulalip Ampitheatre, 9/3/17
Photos by Peter Dervin
Memory Lane Series, part 36
The Seattle area has been lucky to have Yes play two shows in the last two years: Tulalip in 2017, and Woodinville in 2018. The 2017 concert was part of the Yestival tour, while the 2018 concert was one date of the 50th Anniversary tour. Congratulations on that anniversary! Todd Rundgren, who opened in 2017, has also been busy with six albums already released this decade. There are loads of opportunities to catch both bands again right now, so check them out.

The beginning of 2017 found Talib Kweli looking forward to sharing new works: his own '17 album, Radio Silence, and the EP The Seven, with rapper Styles P. But first, he kicked off the year with the Seven Tour, which featured Styles P and hip hop artist K'Valentine (on Kweli's label, Javotti Media). After you check out these photos, head over to Billboard, who has a great interview with Kweli and Styles P about their collaboration.

Okay, Less Than Jake's most recent show in Seattle was just earlier this month, but we've got you covered on their 2017 show here. The always-popular Gainesville, Florida pop/ska band has even more dates coming up, including a spot on the 2018 Vans Warped tour. Less Than Jake's most recent release is 2017's Sound the Alarm EP, which included seven previously unreleased songs. Thanks, Less Than Jake!

Wonderful pianist and singer-songwriter Regina Spektor headlined the Paramount Theatre for a spring show in April, 2017. The Russian-born artist's most recent album, 2016's Remember Us to Life, included an incredible group of string artists, from cellists to violinists to double bassists. Some of those string players were onstage with her. Lovely! Cute side note for 2018: Spektor's, husband, musician Jack Dishel, appeared in his second full-length movie, Wanderland, this year.

British trio Clean Bandit, along with touring singers, were headliners at the Showbox in March, 2017. I know, the band were meant to return here in 2018, but drummer Luke Patterson need surgery on one of his feet. We hope he is recovering nicely! Still, enjoy some smashing photos of Clean Bandit's 2017 show, and have a listen to their new track, "I Miss You feat. Julia Michaels." You probably know Michaels from her hit, "Issues."

Little Big show hosted the wonderful Mitski at the Neptune in the spring of '17. She's totally cool. An incredible songwriter and lyricist, Mitski will tour America again this year, with Europe shows also arranged. Some of her dates will find her opening for Lorde, giving her some extra exposure to new fans. For the Seattle April '17 date, she had Steady Holiday and Kadhja Bonet open.

Matthew Ramsey of Old Dominion
This one really fits in our Memory Lane Series! It's awesome photos by Kirsey Danae of Old Dominion's Seattle, December 2016 show. The country rock band shared songs from their second album, Meat and Candy, which got them many nominations in the country music world – plus the American Music Awards. In 2017, Old Dominion hit the charts hard with a number 1 spot on Billboard's Top Country Albums for Happy Endings. Big bonus? You can catch them on tour with Kenney Chesney this year!

The brilliant DJ Kaskade brought his unique sounds to Seattle in the summer of '17. Playing two nights in June, Kaskade entertained fans with music and totally trippy lights. If you couldn't get into these shows, and if you have the dough, head over to Vegas and catch him this spring. And did you miss this?: He closed out 2017 with the release of a really cool Christmas album (I know, electronic Christmas music???), appropriately called Kaskade Christmas. Illenium, a Denver-based DJ specializing in bass and trap, opened.

Details: Portland's got many things you can call their pride and joy; one of them is definitely the Dandy Warhols. They shared songs off 2016's Distortland live in Seattle for the first time (by the way, if you love that album loads, you can get it live on vinyl), and the psychedelic quartet had London's Telegram open the evening. Touring with the Dandy Warhols brought Telegram to America for the first time!

A belated congratulations to the final four competitors in Sound Off! 2017. Folk artist Jason McCue, a transplant from Philadelphia, won first place. He followed up that win with numerous shows in Seattle last year. Coming in second was R&B singer Falon Sierra, who also had a huge live presence in the area. At third and fourth places were, respectively, the electronic Torpoise (another prolific live act), and rock quartet The Good Weird.

The spring kick-off included a costume and fashion parade along with a great version of the Kermit classic "The Rainbow Connection" by Jon Pontrello (the Moondoggies) and Jason Dodson (the Maldives). Thanks to MoPop and Museum of the Moving Image for putting this all together.

For those interested in tour statistics of songs played, etc. during the first leg of the Blood Tour, which this show was part of, check this out. Nice to keep track of that. And before we head into 2018, we're sharing photographer Alex Crick's moving shots of AFI and openers the Chain Gang Of 1974 and Souvenirs.

Details: So, this is pretty amazing: Toro y Moi (real name Chazwick Bradley Bundick) has a date named after him in Berkeley, California. As of 2017, June 21st is Chazwick Bradley Bundick Day! That's an honor. Toro y Moi also put out a record, Boo Boo, in 2017, making it a big year for him. He's already made two videos, "Pavement" and "Windows," from the album with photographer Kristie Muller, but hasn't announced any tour dates. As an opening band, Toro y Moi chose duo the Mattson2, with whom he made 2017's album Chaz Bundick Meets The Mattson 2.

Details: Let's mention this first, because it's super awesome: Grouplove has created their own special jacket. While only the band's been sporting these beauties, they're available for pre-order now on their site. They've got a scorpion on the back (the jacket, not the band)! No one asked us to mention this, it's just, damn the jackets are cool. But back to the main point of this post, which would be the photos from Grouplove's Seattle's 2016 visit. They've even been here twice in 2017, by the way. For the Crocodile show, the audience was able to enjoy for the first time songs from the just-released Big Mess. Also check out Jonathan Leung's sweet shots of openers, MUNA and Dilly Dally.

The inaugural 2016 tour was in fact so successful, the production followed up in 2017 with I Love the '90s: The Party Continues. And I already see 2018 dates shaping up. . . but first, check out Young MC representing the Seahawks in a Richard Sherman jersey.

Memory Lane Series, part 19, brings us to another fantastic billing of Slipknot and Marilyn Manson. While Slipknot headlined the tour, Marilyn Manson has some bragging rights of 2016 & 17 for having a part in the TV series, Salem. His character was Thomas Dinley, a barber who's also a surgeon. Although the beginning of his 2017 Heaven Upside Down Tour had an unforeseen scary beginning with part of the stage falling on him in New York, he's just starting a European tour. Manson: stay well for all those who love you!! And if you're also here for Slipknot (you probably are). . . following 2 2016 tours, the band's main page warns the following: "Be Prepared for Hell, We'll Be Back Soon." Until then, you can listen to the live Slipknot album, Day of the Gusano: Live in Mexico.

Part 18 of our Memory Lane Series is the cool combining of Wild Child and Walker Lukens (Texans), and one local band, Vaudeville Etiquette. With a new album, Expectations, coming out in February, there should most likely be another Wild Child tour involved. . . already the band's violinist and lead singer, Kelsey Wilson, is on tour with Matthew Logan Vasquez; one of the dates is at the Fremont Abbey on December 5th. Vaudeville Etiquette has 2 shows set up in December on the 9th and 23rd. Merry Christmas to all their fans!

Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley, from Georgia and Florida, respectively, comprise the country duo we know as Florida Georgia Line. They've been nominated for – and won – so many awards you start to lose count. And the awards are from a huge variety of organizations, from Billboard to Teen Choice Awards to CMA Awards. Really impressive. The Tacoma Dome appearance they made in 2016 was just one date of their Dig Your Roots Tour, which found its roots in the album, Dig Your Roots. If you've been paying attention to them this year (we hope you have), you'll know one of their projects is "Meant to Be," a collaboration with Bebe Rexhe. Texan Granger Smith provide support for this concert, which we're sharing as part 17 of our Memory Lane series.

Part 16 of Back Beat Seattle's Memory Lane series features Irish singer-songwriter Róisín Murphy. One of BBS' photographers, Josh Daniels, made a fall trip to San Francisco, and how could we not help him get a photo pass for this show? Thanks to Murphy's publicist, permission was granted! The performance included numerous costumes, and Murphy herself, of course, so these are well worth checking out. Murphy, who was the singer in the now disbanded Moloko, received a Mercury Prize nomination in 2016 for Hairless Toys.

One day before Halloween in 2016, the wonderful and varied K.Flay performed at Barboza. This year has been very good for her, as she's released her second album, Every Where Is Some Where, and grabbed an opening slot for Imagine Dragons. She's also given back; proceeds from her book, Crush Me Book, benefit three organizations to help battle homelessness and child abuse. Well done. For her Seattle date, she was joined by Nightly and Layne. Here we are, with a very special part 15 of Back Beat Seattle's Memory Lane Series.

One of their dates brought them to Seattle's Neptune Theatre, where the band – Tanya Donelly, Thomas Gorman, Chris Gorman and Gail Greenwood – performed for their strong Belly fanbase. You may know that bassist Greenwood was diagnosed with endometrial cancer right before their UK dates last year. Her treatment didn't keep her from touring though; none of the dates were cancelled, and she didn't miss any of them. Stay well, Belly! We want to see you more often.

BTW, photos of Death from Above 1979's show last year will be up here shortly. Anyway, that's just one cool thing about the Toronto musician Keeler, who makes up half of MSTRKFT with fellow Canadian Al-P.

Although it's unfortunate the band has split, it was classy of them to play so many concerts, where longtime fans could appreciate them one last time. Yellowcard named their last album Yellowcard, and with that, payed homage to themselves – and they deserve it. Thank you, Yellowcard!

Details: Part 1 of our Memory Lane Series is Sting and Peter Gabriel at KeyArena in June 2016. Walk Down Memory Lane is a new series, which will feature show photos, that, unfortunately did not find themselves on Back Beat Seattle yet. But we believe photos are forever and always relevant.
Sting and Peter Gabriel have toured together before, and called 2016's tour the Rock Papers Scissors Tour. That's not a typo! Since the tour, Sting bravely played the re-opening date of Bataclan, the Parisian club that suffered a terror attack in 2015. He's also got his own 57th & 9th tour going on right now. One of Gabriel's most recent works is "I'm Amazing," a tribute to Muhammad Ali.

They say you haven't been to Vietnam if you haven't seen Halong Bay. I couldn't agree more!
Some of you may notice I skipped one day but that is only temporary, we had one night in Hanoi before Halong Bay then another two days, I'm going to have a separate post about The capital (P.S. It's amazing!). But now, back to Halong…
This was a two-day cruise with one night on the boat, the bus to Halong took 4 hours. We actually had quite and international group on board (most of them from Europe) and the night ended in some massive drinking on the top deck. Super cool!
The next morning we went kayaking and visited some nearby floating markets (I'm gonna have videos from those). All the food we had in these two days were from the floating market too :) Imagine people actually live here. It is said they learn how to swim before they learn how to walk. :)
We simply loved this place, definitely one of the highlights of our trip, the eerie mood this massive body of water displays, the caves around the area, the anchoring boats at night in complete darkness, definitely a must try! :)

This world is full of needs and worthy causes. Requests for help are everywhere. We all tend to turn our heads from this onslaught and slog through our own challenges. That's understandable and human.
But it is also human, and so wonderfully AMERICAN to want to reach out and help those in need. If you are so motivated to give of your resources to help Thoroughbreds find new jobs, please choose one of the opportunities below to make a difference!

Busselton Ironman Western Australia: Top 25 Triathlon Events In The World
If you have been longing to test your fitness level, look no further than the Busselton Ironman Western Australia which has been regarded as one of the top 25 triathlon events in the world.
In the world of triathlon, if the course is in the top 25 that only means it features unique and interesting challenges compared to other events.
What Is The Busselton Ironman Western Australia?
Busselton Ironman is part of the series of races by the Ironman global brand in triathlon.
There are over two dozen Ironman triathlon races held all over the world.
The objective of joining these races is to qualify for the Ironman World Championships in Kailua- Kona, Hawaii.
Ironman Western Australia has been organising races since 2004.
It takes place in the scenic town of Busselton which is located in the South West region of Western Australia.
Many triathlon participants like the course in Busseltown because the flat surfaces are ideal for registering fast times in cycling and running.
In 2013, Ironman Western Australia was given top honours in the Major Festival and Events category in the Perth Airport Western Australian Tourism awards. It was also nominated in the same award in 2014.
The Ironman Western Australia Course
Each Ironman course is designed differently and plays up to the available terrain and conditions of the host country. One thing is for sure, there is no easy Ironman course!
The challenges may be unique but these remain difficult and require tremendous endurance, determination and strength of will to overcome.
The Busselton Ironman course consists of the following:
- 3.8 km Swim – After a start at the beach, participants do a one lap swim around the Busselton Jetty from east to west then a quick run for the Bike Ride.
- 180 km Bike Ride – This is a two-lap course from the outskirts of Tuart National Park into Capel Shire. You have an amazing view of the scenery including Geographe Bay.
- 42.2 km Run – This is a four-loop run course along Geographe Bay and is reputed for being among the flattest of the Ironman courses.
Because Ironman races are subject to qualifying times, Ironman Western Australia presents a course that could be ideal for making it to the World Championships in Hawaii.
What Does It Take To Complete In The Busselton Ironman Triathlon?
It takes a special kind of person to complete a triathlon. Along with a marathon, a triathlon is an event that pushes the boundaries of endurance, conditioning, mental acuity and the human spirit.
You read about people thrashing about in the waters in the Swim event; of being unintentionally hit and dragged down amidst the sheer volume of participants.
There are also stories of participants pushing past the pain barrier as their legs and backs pedal through the Bike leg of a triathlon.
Finally, we've always read about marathon runners hitting the dreaded "wall" which is the supreme test of endurance and fortitude.
It becomes more of a mental and emotional challenge than a physical one.
Training for a triathlon involves specialising in three disciplines: swimming, cycling and running.
These are all distinct events that require their own training programs.
Even Ironman is primarily an endurance event; these activities use different muscles and affect the body's systems in unique ways.
We all know that you have to invest in great training methodologies in order to excel in a triathlon.
You should hire a good, reputable coach, purchase the best equipment and plan your training for at least 6 months.
Most of all, you should have a strong support system behind you.
When you are competing in a race as grueling as a triathlon, you would only want to focus your energies on the event itself.
A good example would be Susan MacCormick, the wife of triathlon competitor Ian MacCormick who ran the 2010 Ironman Western Australia.
When Susan and Ian arrived in Busselton, Susan immediately took note of the facilities offered by the town and the organisers.
Here are a few of the notes taken by Susan:
- Adequate first-aid stations and support facilities
- Bike emergency stop: "Fat Duck Bikes" and "South West Bicycles"
- Good surf shops to buy accessories
If you plan to do a triathlon at least once in your life, make it the Ironman Western Australia series!

Work-from-Home Myths and Facts
There are a lot of myths perpetuated by some unscrupulous people about working from home. It's important before you embark on a search for a work-from-home opportunity that you understand these myths so you can avoid falling into these traps.
1) "You can work anywhere whenever you want to"
While this sounds wonderful, and sometimes it's true, for the most part you will have deadlines, and if you miss them you will lose the client. Therefore you must be aware of what your clients' needs are. Plus, if you rely on the internet to work, be aware that sometimes the net goes down and you need to know what to do in a situation like that. You can buy a hotspot to help you connect to the internet, but at times that doesn't work either. You need to always be prepared for these situations.
2) "You'll never need childcare again"
It is true that you can find jobs and contract positions that enable you to work around your children's naps, but if you can't count on naptime, you may be in for some trouble working enough billable hours. You may need to hire someone to help you with your children or arrange to swap with your partner or another mom. You can also form a childcare co-op in which you all earn points when you swap childcare to "pay" for the childcare fairly.
3) "You can work only four hours a week and make a full-time living"
While there are some case studies of people who have eventually arranged their life in this manner, when you first start out you'll need to work a lot of hours – maybe more than you ever have at a job. But, it will be worth it if you have goals, and are working toward building something amazing for you and your family.
4) "Not having to leave the house to work is always wonderful"
While it might seem like a dream right now, the truth is, many people who work from home actually start feeling a little claustrophobic after a while. It's important to put a plan in place for this fact. Plan to go to live events, get outside and walk for a break, and stick to a work schedule so that you have plenty of free time.
5) "You can't earn the same amount of money at home that you will at a job"
Actually, you can make much more working at home than you will at a job. The reason is that there are built-in savings in terms of travel, clothing and so forth. But, you can also make less if you're not careful with making sure that you work enough billable hours. If you're not self-motivated to put in the time, this can be a problem for some.
300 Companies that Pay you to Work from Home: Legit Work at home Jobs and answers to questions about your favorite work at home companies
While these myths are common in the work-at-home arena, the fact is there is some truth in each myth. You can work when and where you want, if you plan in advance to make it work. However, you still need to work enough billable hours to meet your obligations. You can also choose who you work with, what services you perform, and much about your day, but you must put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into working from home. It is not the same as sitting on the beach all day. It is work.
Best Practices for Working from Home
Working from home requires a little more organizational skills than going into a job with an office, desk, computer, and all that comes with working in a business. You'll need to supply all of the technology, provide technology support for yourself, as well as the self-discipline necessary to get the job done each day. No one is going to be looking over your shoulder to ensure that you get anything done or to make you work.
- Find the Right Fit – Don't just take any job that comes along. Take a job that you want to do and like to do and have the skills to do. It's important that you understand who your ideal job is, what you want to do for them and stick to that. Otherwise no one will be happy and honestly, you will not do your best work.
- Set Up an Office Area – Even if you do not have the ability to set up a dedicated office, at least set up an area that is organized for working. Multitasking is not really a good thing after all, studies show. Therefore, set up an area where you can focus 100 percent on work when you are working.
- Set Up Systems – Whether it's a physical filing system or an online project management system doesn't matter. You need systems and processes, and an understanding of how to follow them. You'll be more productive; you'll reduce roadblocks and set yourself up for success. Even if you just use Google Calendar and sync it with your phone and schedule everything, you'll be able to keep up better.
- Ask for Feedback – Sometimes working from home can be isolating, but if you regularly ask for feedback from the people you work with, you'll be able to stay on top of things and improve. Remind your employer or the company you're contracting with what you are doing. It keeps you on their mind.
- Work a Regular Schedule – It's so easy to work all the time when you work from home. You want to set up a regular work schedule so that you don't feel as if you're working all of the time. The opposite can happen too if you don't schedule your work and personal life. Each can encroach on the other, making it hard to do either well.
- Exercise and Eat Right – That might seem like strange advice, but if you do this you'll work smarter instead of feeling run down, sick and tired, and unbalanced. You must fit all parts of your life into your day, and it's harder when there is not a clear delineation of work versus home life.
- Keep at It – When working from home, the best thing you have at your advantage for making it work is your persistence for doing it. If you keep going, working toward the goals you've set for yourself each and every day, you will be successful. Don't give up even when it feels hard, and you'll experience success.
- Celebrate Jobs Well Done – When you work for yourself, you don't often get kudos from your co-workers like you might at a traditional job, but you should celebrate your milestones and accomplishments yourself. Take yourself and family out to dinner for meeting a goal at work, or for getting new clients if you work as a freelancer.
Working from home is not for everyone, but if you believe it is something you want to do, don't allow the fear of scams or any roadblocks to prevent you from realizing your dream. Research every company you want to apply to, send in serious applications, follow up, and keep learning so that you can make your work-from-home job or contract position last a long time.

Initial Cause Prospect Meeting: Support Levels
While sponsorship and cause marketing are both win-win, they're different in several important ways. One is how sponsorship programs frequently have levels of support (for example, $5,000, $10,000, $25,000) with corresponding benefits. If you invest in the $10,000 level, for example, you get your banner at the event, your logo on T-shirts, a booth to distribute product or info, and so on.
Some people think that cause marketing is like sponsorship, and they should prepare something with levels for the prospect. Forget using levels.
Here are two good reasons not to deal with levels in your meeting:
It limits the conversation. Anything with levels invariably limits your ability to explore different opportunities because you're too busy trying to make things fit in a level, instead of talking about what the prospect needs and what you have to offer.
It may hurt your fundraising. With sponsorship, the corporate partner writes a check for the sponsorship level they want, and then you, the nonprofit, fulfills the benefits. But with cause marketing, the money generally comes from the consumer via register programs or product purchase, not from the company.
The amount you raise varies depending on the company, time of year, and so on. So if you sell cause marketing by levels, you might give too much for too little or have a partner that raises their goal amount too quickly and stops fundraising. This is the last thing you want!

"Donations are the best gift, thank you," said Mo, the coach of one the girl's basketball team in Djibouti. The girls that play together have a very tight bond. "It brings people together," said Mo.
Sports have taught them disciplines that they may not be learning elsewhere. There are girls from all neighborhoods playing together. One of the girls, Farah, age 28, has been playing basketball since age 12. She says they often how to go out and encourage the girls to come to practice despite how others may perceive them.
For the distribution, the federation contacted all the coach's and basketball teams. One girl's team plus six other men's teams were present. Each team received a pair of shoes for each player and one basketball for the team to use. It was held at the basketball gym in town, an open-wall, covered concrete gym with stadium seating. They had decided to do the distribution that day and called all of the players and coaches. The coaches and Farah could not believe how many people had showed up on such short notice. The players were so excited to receive the new shoes, especially since they could be used for basketball.
"Some people don't have any shoes," said Mo. "While we may not make very much money being a coach, seeing the girls smiling and having fun is enough money for me."

Craft Challenge: See It Again.../
I've decided that instead of a craft post this week, I'm going to issue more of a CRAFT CHALLENGE, an assignment to push you a bit, to twang your creative strings.
In light of current news events, I've been thinking about the issue of perspective, about how we tend to lock our opinions into iron-clad boxes, which take a great deal of outside force (persuasion) to pry open again. We become myopic, shut down, believing that we have THE answer. Our dimensions thin.
This makes things challenging and unproductive in the political and social arenas, but this is about writing. And this phenomenon is death to good writing.
So, here's this week's assignment, should you choose to accept it. This week, I want you to look at something you think you "know." It might be a news story. It might be the event that created a personal wound. It can be a common household object--like a teacup.
And here's what I want you to do.
If it's an event--a news story or an argument, for example--I want you to find a moment and freeze it. Get a picture of all of the participants and fix them in time in your mind.
And then I want you to spend an entire day coming back to that moment from different angles, looking at it from all sides--both practically and emotionally. Do this twelve times during the course of a day, and each time, write a few sentences from this new angle. If you have preconceived notions about who is right and who is wrong, reverse them. If you think you have an ANSWER, make it a question.
Drill even deeper. If the event took place in a restaurant, for example, write about the blue linen napkin that's about to slide off someone's lap. Write about the shimmering of water in crystal goblets or about the stain on the waiter's lapel.
Take this moment, which has become two-dimensional in your mind and give it dimensions in every single direction your brain can create. Push yourself. Push yourself harder.
If it's an object in your possession, I want you to keep it with you all day and to write a few lines about it once every hour. Think about what it's used for, and then think about what it's NOT used for. Think about how an insect might use it, or an alien creature, or someone who had no context for it whatsover.
Write about it as though it's meant to be used upside down (if it has an upside down). Write about it as though it's meant to be used inside out (if possible). Be as silly or as preposterous as you like; that's part of the point.
Writers can't afford to be lazy thinkers. It dulls our insight and our empathy. It dampens the power of our prose. We MUST be able to see what no one else sees. That's our job. In looking with new eyes, we create new worlds, even in the worlds we already know. We can only truly speak to the human condition when we stop taking for granted what "human" and "condition" mean.
We need to penetrate, to elevate, to wonder. At people. At teacups. At not knowing all of the things we THINK we know.
Go to it!

Performing Arts
Theatre, Vocal Music, Instrumental Music, Dance
The Fine Arts Department provides performance opportunities to enhance each student's development by teaching lifelong skills that will enrich their lives. Focus is placed on teamwork and building self-confidence while cultivating each student's talent.
Our theatre program is designed to build the three ingredients of the student actor's work: mind, heart, will. The mind, in all its brightness, interprets and understands the text from the playwright and interpretation from the director. The heart adds the feeling and the emotional life to create a real and honest character. The will is the final component that confronts the personal protections we all have, and allows student actors to put themselves—their minds and, especially, their hearts—out there in public, either on stage or in front of a camera. The will is the final piece that makes a good student actor available to an audience with her interpretation of a role. Our program provides an environment where the student actor feels challenged and comfortable in taking chances, essential ingredients for the actor's creative growth.
Technical Theatre
At the forefront, the Academy's technical theatre program provides our students with hands-on experience with state-of-the-art equipment, and offers practical production experiences in the areas of lighting and sound design, costumes and make-up. Focusing on technical skills and creative elements and the role they play in an overall production are at the center of our technical theatre program.
Students who wish to be considered for our elite technical team, which assists with school productions and presentations throughout the year, will have opportunities to apply for that program at the beginning of each school year.
Vocal Music
Our vocal music program develops each student's individual proficiency and musical understanding to the highest degree possible. At an introductory capacity, we nurture each student's lifelong commitment to the musical arts—whether as participant, listener, and/or supporter.
The program also sets the stage for each student to strengthen, and in some cases gain confidence, in her vocal ability. Students may advance to a performance-based program (Vocal Music in Performance—The Quarter Notes) that enables them to apply the vocal disciplines not only as an individual but as part of an ensemble. Students will cover foundational music theory, music history and its cultural impact, and how to prepare and deliver an outstanding vocal performance not only as an ensemble but as a solo artist.
Instrumental Music
Our instrumental music program provides opportunities for both students who have never played an instrument and students desiring to further develop their musicianship and performance abilities. Students grow musically through solo and ensemble work catered to their level. Music theory, critical listening, and composition are infused into the curriculum, so that students become co-creators in their music ensemble and solo arrangements. As students expand their competency in music repertoire, they perform as a group and/or individually at school events, Masses, concerts, and recitals throughout the year.
Our dance program encourages students to focus on many facets of dance, including the study of various styles of dance technique, choreography, performance, history, critical theory, kinesiology, and movement analysis. Our faculty teaches observation and analysis of dance and dance creation, while examining dance masters. Our goal is to develop creative and articulate artists who are proficient in technique, performance, theory and critical analysis, and who are able to use dance to communicate their experiences, ideas and perceptions.

Working on your CV during your studies
During your studies you'll spend most of your time acquiring new knowledge about your chosen discipline. But it is also important to develop other relevant skills during your student days. Don't overlook this or leave it to the last minute.
Start working on your CV from your first academic year onwards. This will help you to stand out from the crowd when you start applying for jobs.
Improve your chances of getting the job you want by doing extra activities during your studies, for example:
- an (extra) internship
- time abroad (studying or internship)
- board membership experience with a study/student association or teaching committee
- a programme at the Honours Academy
- extra courses, a minor or a second study programme
- relevant part-time work
- relevant voluntary work
- learning job application skills
Take a look at the Career Route Planner on the LU Career Zone, for career preparation activities you can undertake each academic year.
Working on your CV during your study
Your study is an important part of your CV. However, the way your CV will look when you graduate will be determined by the choices you make during your study.
Think about your options within your study track concerning:
- choice of your research projects
- choice of minor
- choice of internship for a company or research institute
- choice to do a part of your study abroad
Extra-curricular activities also determine what your CV will look like. You can think about things like:
- choice in part-time job
- choice to join a student board for a society / club
- choice for voluntary service work
For some jobs and sectors, a high GPA forms an important part of the selection, for example for traineeships, consultancy or PhD-positions. When you are planning to apply for such positions, it is smart to consider where want to invest your time, whether this is more experience or more time to study.

Jewel-Tones: Easy Ways to Use Them Around the House
Maybe you're a die-hard fan of sapphire blue or a low-key lover of emerald green. Whether a lover of ruby or amethyst, one thing stays true: gem-toned decor can be intimidating. Openly, I felt the same way when I first started my career in interior design. These deep hues can be used just about anywhere – accent walls, rugs, mirrors — but are there rules to follow when injecting this much color into your home? I'll let you in on a little secret: jewel-tones can be your best friend when it comes to decorating.
One Statement; A Dozen Accents
Interior design is all about balance and foils. In the above image, what instantly catches your eye? Is it the pink and gold rug, the bright pink velvet chaise, or is it the pink and salmon accents peppered throughout the room?
Now look again and you'll notice the rest of the room is white or a version of pale blush, taupe or espresso. The backdrop – or ground – of the room is subtle, textural, and neutral, creating a gorgeous base for the pops of bold garnet. When paired with the gold in the rug or the pale pink quartz color of the accent pillows and flowers, it creates a lovely balance. I think we can all agree that the rug really unites the pinks in the space, bridging the palest to the deepest tones.
Break Out the Color Wheel
Remember how we mentioned "foils" earlier alongside the concept of balance? The color wheel is your best friend when it comes to uniting gem-toned accents. While one statement piece can make a splash, sometimes you want the whole room to exude color, energy, and brightness.
In this instance, the layered rugs are very different, yet they share a common amethyst tone. The ceramic vases pull their citrine color from common tones with the drapery – made from sarees. The pillows also reference the multi-colored drapery and harken back to the accent colors in the rugs. Everything coordinates in a manner that foils the opposing colors. It may seem disparate in piecemeal, but when it all comes together, it makes for a stunning statement room. I'm personally getting Moroccan dance party vibes. What about you?
Back to Basics
Another way to use jewel-tones in your home interior design is to make them subtle. If you glanced at this photo, you might gloss over specific details such as the rattan hanging chair or the "Sophie" wall decoration. The softness of the teal velvet bed frame and the citrine lamps balance to make a fuzzy focus on the entire room, all with a white backdrop and silver accents. With a healthy dose of natural light, this gem-toned accent piece fits comfortably into the peaceful and light theme of the room.
Similarly, this golden-brushed, pink-undertoned room plays off the same idea. The ground colors of the room are beige, cream, and other neutrals. Combining the rug, the chair, and accents on pillows, curtains, and flowers, the room gains a levity it didn't have before. It also gains dimension thanks to the added color. I think if the room was left to the ground colors – just whites and brass accents – it would fall a bit flat. Because this is our client's music room (recording studio around the corner and not seen in this view) we wanted energy and life to come through in the design.
Hint: the jewel-toned hues of the overdyed rug and ombre velvet of the chair help to bring out the dash of pink in the desk chair and in the sofa, too!
It's No Surprise We Accessorize
Another way to expand your jewel-toned palette is to incorporate an accent wall and other accessories to match your gem-toned pieces. Here, you can see that the rug has several tones of turquoise and aquamarine. The chairs pull in one of those tones and the ceiling matches the darkest tone in the rug!
When balanced against the gorgeous wood of the Asian-inspired bar and the crisp white walls, you make a big splash without overwhelming your guest. You also get the chance to mix materials, adding extra depth to your space.
Finally, we love to incorporate jewel-tones into a lovely sitting room like this. Feel free to coordinate with your curtains or your favorite work of art. Take a deep pink juxtaposed with a luxurious metallic – in the image above, we went for gold – and you are in business! The sconce and the fireplace screen echo the gold finish on the magenta chair perfectly.

So I was total crap at publicly tracking my stash. I last did one of these in April. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
2017 Stash Totals
Project Yardage: +39163 yds
Incoming Stash Yardage: -38533 yds
Difference: +630 yds
Project Weight: +11440 g
Incoming Stash Weight: -10783 g
Difference: +657 g / +1.45 lbs
So I barely ended up in the black for 2017, but I just managed it. I'm going to try to do better in 2018. Also, I can't believe I used nearly 40000 yds.
2017 Handspun Totals
Handspun Weight: +90.67 oz
Incoming Fiber Stash Weight: -81.94 oz
Difference: +8.73 oz / +.55 lbs
I started the year strong with spinning, but tapered off towards the end. I ended up basically removing 2 braids from my stash overall. not great, but better than adding to it.
2017 Project Totals
79 finished objects
- 35 pairs of socks
- 22 hats
- 9 neckwear items
- 6 handwear items
- 7 sweaters
For me: 37
For others: 23
For design samples: 19
20 skeins of handspun
2017 Handspun yardage: 5784 yds
Active WIPs: 2 pairs of socks, 2 blankets
Abandoned 2017 WIPs: 4
2017 Goals
Crafty/Business Goals
- Do what I feel like doing: I did a pretty decent job of this. I designed what I wanted to design for the most part and took breaks when I felt like it. I did get a little tired of knitting gift hats by the end but i managed it. Check
- Knit 26 pairs of socks: I finished 35, so Check
- Knit 12 Personal Sock Club socks: I knit all 12 skeins but changed it during the year so I could knit what I wanted/needed (not all were socks) Most of a Check?
- Knit 12 Desert Vista Dyeworks socks: Check!
- Knit 1 square a day on my sock yarn blanket: nope. i always seem to peter out during the summer. Fail
- Finish Granny Rectangle Blanket: I put it away after April and got it out in December. I've added a couple more inches to it recently but it's not done. Fail
- Knit 3 sweaters: I can't believe I finished 7 sweaters this year. Check +
- Reduce my stash: Ehhhh, I mean, kind of? technically i did but not by much. I'd like to do better in 2018. Weak Check
- Limit crafty stash/pattern purchases to immediate cast-ons: I'd say I did better but not great on this. at the end I did buy 2 more sweater quantities, which isn't ideal. Fail
- Podcast once a month: i think i did until December. Vlogging killed my mojo. Fail
- Publish 4 designs: I published 17 patterns in 2017. definitely my best year ever. Check +
- Keep up with business bookkeeping: I got lazy towards the end of the year. better but not perfect. Fail
Life Goals
- Do Capsule Wardrobe challenge once a quarter: I actually mostly did this. i've learned that a very loose capsule is what works for me and i don't know that a rigid structure will ever really be my thing. but i have learned a bit about relying on fewer things and it's made me want to make more of my own clothes in 2018. so i would call this a success. 3/4 of a check
- Cook/bake more: I really didn't do much of this at all. Fail
- Be more frugal: nor this. Fail
I don't know that I'm really in the mood this year to do goals for 2018. I really did not think about my goals at all for 2017 after the first quarter so I don't know that it helps me much with motivation. but hey, it was fun to look back on the year at everything i accomplished. 2017 was a pretty crap year emotionally and life-wise, but at least the crafty part was productive. Perhaps crafting helped keep me sane so that's why there was so much of it.

The Shenango Valley Catholic School System (also known as the Kennedy Catholic Family of Schools) was formed in 2011 when many area parochial schools consolidated to form Blessed John Paul II Elementary School and Kennedy Catholic Middle School. These new schools were then combined with the existing Kennedy Catholic High School to form this new Catholic school system.
Because the system was formed from a variety of backgrounds and contained many varied programs, the brand identity of the Kennedy Catholic Family of Schools was not well-defined, and so a need for consistency in branding and marketing arose.
Amy Faler, a member of the CubicleTwo team, was employed by the school and tasked with creating a style guide to help bring awareness of brand consistency to the forefront. Also as the school's graphic designer, she ensured all marketing, advertising pieces all conformed to the style guide standards.
If your organization is in need of brand consistency, we would love to help you create guidelines to ensure your organization appears unified, reliable, professional and trustworthy in the eyes of your customers and stakeholders.

CalVet works closely with local communities in its efforts to serve veterans. To ensure veterans get the assistance, benefits and services they need, CalVet has divided California into eight regions and has staffed each region with a Local Interagency Network Coordinator (LINC). These LINCs play a dynamic role within local communities, serving as both informational conduits to the community and feedback resources for CalVet.
LINCs bridge the gap between CalVet and the federal, state, county, and non-governmental agencies that provide services to our state's nearly 2 million veterans. The LINCs are advocates for veterans, military service members, and their families in their respective regions. In addition, they supplement and support the County Veterans Service Offices and regional partners to develop improved and expanded services and support for their local veteran populations, and assist veterans with employment and educational opportunities.
A veteran or community partner organization should feel free to contact their regional LINC whenever they have questions about benefits (how to qualify, where to get further information, where to go to fill out paperwork, which online resources are proven effective, etc) for the veteran or their family members.
The eight LINCs and their regions are:
The LINCs also work with Regional Service Provider Network Collaboratives throughout the state.

I have to admit: I'm useless at packing. No, really. I over pack every single time and somehow I still manage to forget something. If you can figure out how that works then you're a better person than I am! But no matter where I go there are a few travel essentials that always, but always come with me.
The Travel Wallet
I'm one of those travellers that prints every confirmation, keeps every ticket stub and collects foreign currencies. I couldn't survive without my Aspinal of London travel wallet and matching passport holder. I've had it for quite a few years, and it's worn really well – looking just as beautiful when it's well traveled as it did when it first came out of the box.
Though I have to admit I do have my eye on this pretty little number from Smythson… I'm in love with the colour!
The Day Bag
I always change handbags when I travel. Mainly as my current handbag allows me to fit a lot in it and I much prefer traveling a little lighter when I'm on a trip. To me you can't beat a simple, elegant leather handbag, which is why I love this DS London Brown Opal Tote Bag. It's made from the softest leather, and is handcrafted in Britain. It's just the right size for a day bag (and an internal pocket that's perfect for hiding your passport), meaning you can throw all your essentials in, throw it over your shoulder and look elegant and stylist no matter where in the world you are.
I've also used it as my laptop bag for the office and I've had more than a couple of compliments on it and about how unbelievably soft the leather is!
For a beach bag… I must admit I'm more than a little bit in love with Rae Feather, and I'm thinking of getting one of their monogram baskets before we visit Mexico this summer!
The Suitcase Set
I have an oh so small addiction to trunk like suitcases. Not only do I think hard cases are the way forward (especially when traveling long haul) but I think there's something timeless about trunk style cases. When I spotted these Dickens and Jones cases before I went to New Zealand, I couldn't resist the temptation!
Available in three sizes (one of which is cabin sized) you can travel in style with the full set, no matter how long you're going for! They also have code locks which are great, and mean there's no panicking about where you left your padlock key (in your travel wallet?!)
If you're looking for a little more suitcase inspiration, here are a few more – as well as links to all sizes of the Dickins and Jones trunks.
A perfect combination if you ask me!
The Wash Bag
I looked and looked and looked for a wash bag and make up bag set that I liked, but it took me so long to find one. And even then, it wasn't me who found it! Full credit goes to mum who discovered this stunning pebble wash bag and matching make up bag from The White Company. Soft leather, a perfect shade of grey and big enough to take all of my toiletries for a two/three week trip – it was worth the wait to find this wash bag!
