Chaka Khan Tickets
Chaka Khan tickets have been a revered commodity; since her boom period in the 70s to the present day where she is still a sensation. It was the cover of Prince's "I Feel for You" in 1984 that brought mainstream popularity for Chaka Khan. And from there on, it was all uphill for this gorgeous lady with soulful, harmonic vocals. Whatever she touched turned to gold, may it be her solo career or her work with the group Rufus. Born in Illinois as Yvette Marie Stevens, she entered the music world at the age of 11 as a part of the group the Crystalettes. During high school, she became a part of the Afro-Arts Theater and that brought her a lot of exposure as the group often toured with the likes of Mary Wells. She changed her name to Chaka Khan a few years later.

Chaka quit high school, realizing that her passion and interests lie elsewhere, and joined a group called Lyfe and later a dance group which was called the Babysitters. Neither of the two were any success but that did not let down her spirits. Soon enough, fate took a turn for her when she joined Rufus, teaming with Andre Fisher and Kevin Murphy. The group debuted in 1973 and quickly became a prominent funk group which enjoyed success over a whole decade. Khan's dynamic vocals were a distinguishing factor and landed Rufus a good many gold and platinum albums.
It was time for Chaka Khan to go solo now; and so she did, in 1978. Her first release Chaka turned out to be a big hit; significantly because of the single "I'm Every Woman". In the beginning her success remained shadowed because of her rivalry with the remaining members of Rufus but that was resolved with peace eventually. Her next three albums, Naughty, What Cha' Gonna Do For Me and Echoes of an Era did not bring her much success; the later one being a collaboration with Lenny White, Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Joe Henderson and Freddie Hubbard. Although Chaka became an R&B hit artist with her works I Feel for You, Destiny and C.K. but she could not establish a firm presence in pop music for some time.
After she had already won a Grammy for I Feel for You, another one came for her duet with Ray Charles on "I'll Be Good to you". There was a long pause before Chaka Khan released another album. She also worked on an autobiography titled Chaka! Through the Fire. "What's Going On" became another Grammy winning performance; the collaboration this time with the Funk Brothers. Another jazz standards album, Classikhan was released after this.
A phase of rigorous touring started and Chaka began to mesmerize people with her powerful, passionate performances. Funk This was her album containing a collection of funky music, both originals and covers. Her duet with Mary J. Blige "Disrespectful" won her another Grammy. Later years saw Chaka Khan collaborating and performing with a lot of renowned artists including Clay Aiken.
Now that she had worked hard for decades, it was time to honor her for her services. And so she was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. She has also been nominated for a number of other Grammy and other accolades and has also won a lot of them. She is working on new projects as well as performing live extensively. Her live performances have always been amazing because of how she dominates the stage, singing new as well as classical hits. For that, cheap Chaka Khan tickets are always precious for her huge fan base who just cannot enough of her charming personality and great music.

PGA Assistants' Championship of Canada presented by Titleist & FootJoy to be played in Ontario's stunning Muskoka region Sept. 8-11, 2014
[ACTON, ONT.]--The Ridge at Manitou Golf Club in Ontario's spectacular Muskoka region will be home to this year's PGA Assistants' Championship of Canada presented by Titleist & FootJoy.
Taking place Sept. 9-11 in McKellar, Ont., PGA of Canada players will be treated to a natural golfing experience unique to this particular area of Canada.
"We couldn't be more excited to take one of our prestigious national championships-the PGA Assistants' Championship of Canada presented by Titleist & FootJoy-to one of the country's most stunning golf regions," PGA of Canada president Gregg Schubert said. "Not only does this championship annually feature some of the most talented players from our association, but it also showcases some of the best courses in Canada too."
The Ridge at Manitou Golf Club in located on 300 acres of land just east of Parry Sound, Ont., however, only 150 acres of land were used by famed golf course architect Tom McBroom to build the golf course. This use of land ensured the rugged Muskoka landscape, which is home to moose, black bears, wolves, foxes, great-horned owls and deer was preserved.
"We are extremely excited at The Ridge at Manitou Golf Club to host the 2014 PGA of Canada Assistant's Championship and look forward to the arrival of Canada's top assistant professionals, The Ridge at Manitou Golf Club's Director of Golf Travis Spiess said. "The golf course is known for its awe inspiring landscape with inviting fairways, rolling greens, exposed areas of rocky Canadian Shield and artful bunkers."
The nearly 7,000-yard golf course was ranked No. 17 on SCOREGolf's 2012 list of the Top 59 Public Golf Courses in Canada and is also a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary.
Ontario's Billy Walsh looks to defend his championship title after besting the field in 2013 at The Willows Golf & Country Club in Saskatoon. The No.1-ranked player from the PGA of Canada Player Rankings presented by RBC captured his first national championship last September, defeating British Columbia's Lindsay Bernakevitch in a playoff.
The PGA Assistants' Championship of Canada presented by Titleist & FootJoy takes place Sept. 8-11 and is contested over 54-holes (with a 36-hole cut to the low 60-players and ties).
Past champions of the PGA Assistants' Championship of Canada include Serge Thivierge, Remi Bouchard, Marc Girouard, Bryn Parry, Ashley Chinner, Phil Jonas, Brian McCann and Mike Belbin.

"Name a movie that starts with R. It's harder than you think" seems to be a popular fad when looking at my Facebook feed. For the record, it's not that hard, there's plenty of movies that start with R -- or any other letter of the alphabet -- so just stop. Instead of scrolling through similar posts, be it e-cards or square counting contests, I've started hiding posts from my Facebook feed. You can do this on the Web or using either the iOS or Android app while on the go.
Using the latest version of the Facebook app, you'll notice a small button in the top-right corner of the posts in your feed. Tapping on it will give you the option to hide it, report it as spam, or if you're using iOS you can copy a direct link to the post.
Hiding a post doesn't erase it from your feed altogether; it will still be visible on the Web or another device, and you can always unhide it just as quickly as you made it disappear.

LightingProduct Spotlghts
Contributed by The Daily Basics – Michael McHale Designs
We love when designers and design enthusiasts in our communities on Twitter, Faceboook, LinkedIn and other platforms can take some inspiration away from Modenus. Great design is about great resources and about finding new ideas with which to inspire clients and ourselves for that matter. What we love even more than sharing great designs with you, is when you share them with us. Shelley, researcher extraordinaire at The Daily Basics was nice enough to introduce me to Michael McHale Design on Twitter this morning and I didn't want to waste a minute before re-sharing this little treasure with our readers. Thanks Shelley.
Michael's story is just the same old same old "entertainment lawyer turned creative lighting designer" we've heard a hundred times before – I jest of course , it's an inspiring story of someone who followed his heart to do what makes him happy and he deserves a full blog for that which I hereby promise for a later date. What he ended up with is a most extraordinary lighting concept that features "industrial pipes and fittings drenched in fine crystal". Scroll down for more amazing fixtures. Above is the linear chandelier from his Industrial Collection.
Also from the industrial collection, the Billiards Chandelier.
Industrial Collection Desk Lamp
This Single Light pendant is from Michael's new Tribeca collection which is specifically designed at a lower price point to make these designs available to all lovers of stunning and imaginative design.
And finally, a Modenus favorite because it still uses the inspiration of pipes and fittings but interprets them in a more abstract version. Very glam and still very edgy.
Thanks again to The Daily Basics for the intro!

Choose the right mix of hybrid cloud management for your enterprise
Buyers must evaluate hybrid cloud management tools carefully, knowing their team's needs and experience level, to choose the most beneficial option for their platform.
When buying hybrid cloud management tools, an organization's unique cloud strategy could limit its choices. Some tools might be missing certain features or take longer to get to production, but fit an operation with limited resources or expertise. On the other hand, there are new and leading-edge products that fill critical gaps in the tool set, but bear startup risks, such as quality.
In addition, some hybrid cloud management tools, such as Red Hat's distribution, are platform-agnostic, while others are tied strongly to a vendor's system.
Here are some general guidelines for choosing hybrid cloud management tools, based on use case and skill set.
Case 1: Hybrid cloud prototype with limited staff and experience
If an IT team is comfortable specifying hardware, it can purchase a private cloud platform from distribution or direct from a vendor such as Supermicro. Most commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) gear will work. Given the scope of skills implied by the hardware, the team should lean toward a suite product, such as Red Hat OpenStack or RightScale, which contain a comprehensive set of tools, are hardware-agnostic and offer ease of use and support capabilities.
Today's COTS hardware -- whether from traditional original equipment manufacturers or from original design manufacturers ust entering the market -- generally have few problems with cloud platforms such as OpenStack. A more risk-averse team, however, might buy a pre-integrated system from Dell, IBM or Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), with hardware platforms, cloud software stack and a set of basic cloud management tools bundled together. The key is a single point of contact for support, but this comes at a premium.
Bundled products allow teams to round out hybrid cloud management with additional tools, such as cloud security tools from HPE, monitoring tools like Cloudyn, cost analysis tools like Cloudabilty and governance tools like Scalr. For a prototype setup, teams should evaluate a range of these tools to see if they significantly improve ease of use.
Case 2: Experienced team looks to optimize hybrid cloud preproduction
Teams at this stage should look at a wider set of hybrid cloud management tools, and then narrow them down. This group is more likely to buy hardware from distribution or direct from an inexpensive provider, which means a suite product such as Red Hat or RightScale.
The number of platform-agnostic hybrid cloud tools continues to expand. Scalr, which comes with strong support and upgrades, is an option along with CliQr. CliQr was acquired in April 2016 by Cisco. A third vendor is Abiquo, which offers an orchestration suite that includes a central dashboard with a strong GUI and a solid policy toolkit.
The key selling point for these three tools is that they are second-generation products with better ease of use compared to some of the older tools. This feature reduces the need for hand-holding and makes support less of an issue.
The bundled products from traditional OEM vendors, such as Dell EMC and Cisco, are also options. Automation has reached a new level with these second-generation tools, which increases agility, reduces admin workloads and offers a more intuitive interface.
Users in the advanced hybrid cloud category should explore APIs to integrate hybrid cloud management tools with users' applications. This is generally easier to do with second-generation tools.
Case 3: Team prefers as a service model
Another option is to use a software as a service (SaaS) tool, which offers a pay-as-you-go model. Several vendors offer that model, including RightScale, CliQr and Dell EMC.
The value of the SaaS route is that it reduces the cost of moving to an alternative tool set compared to buying a license -- particularly during the prototype installation phase. Whether the economics work long term, however, depends on the growth roadmap for a company's hybrid cloud.
Case 4: Forward-looking team plans for Docker containers
With Docker containers being a fairly new phenomenon, many hybrid cloud management tools are playing catch-up. This constrains vendor selection to a small group today, but the main tool players should embrace containers in 2017 to stay relevant. Vendors with Docker support include RightScale, Scalr, Red Hat and Dell EMC, which have ported the tools to run in Docker containers. Red Hat CloudForms is now portable to any Docker container.
VMware also supports containers, an option that might appeal to shops heavily invested in VMware processes and training.
Case 5: Outsource hybrid cloud management
In 2016, this was a limited option, with Rackspace effectively the only hybrid cloud managed services provider -- but this has changed. Admins, for example, can expect Azure to offer a homogeneous hybrid cloud package through Azure Stack. This will be limited to a few hardware platforms, but the vendor list supporting Azure Stack should increase as the stack matures, and management will be part of the offering.
There is some speculation that Amazon Web Services (AWS) may also enter the hybrid cloud software market in 2017 with a product that enables a single management and operational environment across AWS public and private clouds.
There are pitfalls in these approaches, however. Data needs to travel across cloud boundaries in these homogenous environments, making any simplistic approach inefficient. Teams will demand more advanced storage management, for example, from companies like Zadara and Velostrata.
Hybrid cloud management tools are a dynamic segment of the IT portfolio. New companies appear often and the scope and breadth of their offerings expands quickly, as evidenced through comparisons of first- and second-generation tools. Users can expect more automation, enabling rapid insights and responses that can meet the explosion of instances that containers bring. Hybrid cloud management tools will also grow to handle the challenges and opportunities of software-defined infrastructure.

After I shared my story about having an Ependymoma (that's fancy-speak for brain tumor in my 4th ventricle), the most asked question was "how did you talk to your kids about this" or "how did your kids handle this" or "how did you get your kids through this"? I'm not an expert or a psychologist, so this is just our parenting, and you'll probably disagree or want to do it differently.
We have a 9 year old, a 7 year old, and a turned-5-the-week-after-my-surgery year old. I think that the most important part about talking to your children in the face of a less than ideal situation is knowing them. I am not a fan of the "Family Meeting" style of crisis address where everyone is put into a room and provided with a prepared speech and allowed to ask questions because I don't think that it's fair to each child's unique needs. I do think, however, you need to tell each child within moments of each other and ensure that they know there's an ongoing open dialogue.
My 9 year old son has a tremendous need to see and understand everything. We don't hide things from our children, although we do guide them through and try to listen to their needs. He's always been very intuitive about how much information he needs, and he needs a lot more than my other two kids. He retains information from everywhere, so it's important for us to talk to him and let him ask questions. He wrote a whole list of questions for the neurosurgeon, and when we told him I was starting radiation, he wanted to know if I would get another tumor from the treatment- he remembered hearing that radiation could cause tumors after the nuclear fiasco in Japan. It was important for us to listen to him to know how much information he had, and what exactly he was thinking.
That's another note, though. While we knew up front that post-surgical radiation was likely, we didn't provide all the details at once. Even though our 9 year old is savvy and intelligent and likes information, we gave him manageable pieces of information. Dealing with an illness, or other crisis, is kind of like the proverbial "eating an elephant", and you need to do it one bite at a time. Overwhelming even the most emotionally mature child with too much information just gives them too much, and they can't digest it or logically approach each piece. We started with the information that there was an object in my brain that shouldn't be there, and the term he'd hear was "tumor", and that it needed to be removed. We explained we had an excellent surgeon and that I'd be staying in the hospital for some time while I recovered. We didn't make promises about a number of days or tell him the potential for things going wrong, because there were far too many. We decided that once I woke up, my husband would be able to address those issues that actually mattered, like "mommy is slow when she speaks and very slow when she walks". Also, I'm not going to lie, ending on a high note isn't a bad idea. We followed the QandA with "bonus- you get to hang out with your awesome Uncle all day while mommy's at surgery", which I'm pretty sure made a big difference. We believe in reflexive questions, and make sure that we don't over-provide information, but rather answer questions concisely and allow him to follow-up if he'd like additional details.
Our 7 year old, on the other hand, is incredibly sensitive. He doesn't want information. We've given him small bites of information and allowed him to ask questions to get more information, but he doesn't typically want to know. He is the one who needed me to wear a hat or scarf to cover my scars while my stitches were still in and who would sweetly come into my room and confirm "You're going to be better one day, right?" It was the only information he wanted, and all he needed to know. We had to force some information on him, like some of the scarier terminology that he'd be hearing, and unfortunately I messed this up. In trying not to push him too hard, I didn't realize how daft and insensitive other adults would be (and you can leave angry comments on that below- but it's nicer wording than I want to use). People would take it upon themselves to come up and ask incredibly detailed and inappropriate questions about my health IN FRONT OF MY KIDS. Just to clarify, that's a totally jerk move. Asking "could she die during surgery" or "will she be able to talk and walk" or talking about "what's going to happen to the kids if she leaves to get treatment for six weeks, won't that be horrible for them?" is:
a) none of your business
b) wildly inappropriate, and
c) a totally jerkface move
especially when you're forcing a child to confront a truth again and again that they want to hide from. Grown-up conversations are appropriate in grown-up only areas only. I waited too long to force some of the terms on my 7 year old and ended up doing damage control. One of the most important lessons I learned from him was to tell him that he had the right to tell anyone, even an adult or a teacher, anytime that he didn't want to talk about me being sick, and if they persisted, he was allowed to yell, kick, scream, and walk away without worrying about being rude or in trouble.
Our 5 year old turned 5 a week after my surgery. We provided her with basic facts, the terms she might hear, and checked to see if she had questions. She didn't. Then we told her that she got to stay with her uncle the day of my surgery, that her favorite (and only!) Auntie was coming to visit while I was in the hospital, and that her BFF and her mom would be coming to visit, too. Mommy having surgery became the most awesome thing in the world. She still comes in to pet my head and tell me I'm her beautiful mommy "even if I'm bald". I adore that 🙂
So, in conclusion:
1) Provide your children with the individualized amount of information that they need. Don't make promises you can't keep when answering.
2) Make sure you introduce the vocabulary of your situation so that so that someone else doesn't do it for you
3) Keep checking in, asking if the kids have questions
4) Provide the information they need to get them through the current step of the process, don't make them try to process a situation that will take months (or years) in one conversation
5) Empower them to deal with others. They are allowed and entitled to deal with the situation and their emotions in a way that is self-honoring, and if that means telling others to butt out, it's okay. Let them know some safe people to talk with- they may not want to talk to a sick parent, or a second parent may be unavailable, especially if they're acting as caregiver. Give them grandma's number on speed dial, a close family friend they're comfortable with, or a godparent who can step in confidently and deal with your child's insecurities or questions in the manner they need.
As a last note, I think that being mentally ready to talk to your kids is helpful, too. It was important that we didn't just tell our kids not to panic, but that we actually were not panicking. That meant getting to a place mentally where we were okay really quickly, and as I've mentioned before, our faith helped with that, but whatever you need to do to get there, it's important. I realize this whole post probably makes me seem really far-out there in terms of my beliefs about kids, but I don't think kids are dumb, they know when you're actually okay and when you're lying to them.
At the end of the day, though, when you're faced with a really difficult situation with your children, whether it's a divorce, an illness, a death in the family, it's all about the continuing process of building trust between them and you. You're going to do the best that you possibly can, and you're probably going to screw something up royally, too. They will love you tomorrow. You will love them, too. Next time, you'll try not to screw up the same thing. In the course of a lifetime, most of the crisis we face eventually smooth out to blips in the radar in retrospect, and if you can do your best in the moment, then that's a really good thing.

Tell-Tale Games Announces New Batman Video Game
The wildly popularly Arkham Series may have just concluded this year with the spectacular video game 'Batman: Arkham Knight,' but Bat-fans won't have to wait long for interactive gameplay featuring Gotham's Dark Knight. Tell-Tale games just announced that a Batman game is in development for sometime in 2016. Here's the official trailer and CEO press release:
At Telltale, we've been honored to bring our unique approach to interactive storytelling to some of the biggest entertainment franchises in the world, and we're excited to announce that we'll soon be exploring what it means to be Batman in an all-new series starting next year... This iteration of Batman will give fans a first-hand opportunity to dive deeper into the complex life and mind of Bruce Wayne, the duality of his own identity, and the struggle of responsibility in saving a city overcome with corruption and villainy.
For fans of superhero video games, this is absolutely fantastic news. Tell-Tale is known for making quality games focused on narrative and story, and they're in the habit of taking comic book worlds and making them come to life. Anyone who's ever played seasons 1 or 2 of their Walking Dead series knows that Tell-Tale's games feature stories that are just as gripping and intriguing as any TV episode or story arc from Kirkman's graphic novels.
This won't be the first time Tell-Tale has taken on a DC franchise, either. Their game, 'The Wolf Among Us,' is essentially a prequel to Bill Willingham's 'Fables.' It stayed true to the comics in almost every way, and to top it off, they delivered a top notch mystery story in the process.
Folks generally don't play Tell-Tale games for intense action sequences. The Walking Dead isn't a good game because there's a hundred and one ways to kill zombies in it (which, by the way, there's not); they play it because the story is epic and the player is given control of the outcome of the game. For instance, do you kill someone who's out of control in your group of survivors, leave them behind, or embrace them? These are the types of decisions that players are given control over, and the decisions they make follow them throughout the rest of the game. This has been true of every one of their titles, so it'll be interesting to see how well they're able to do this with Batman.
Clearly, this game will be vastly different from the Arkham series. It'll be interesting to see what choices Batman is faced with over the course of the game. Perhaps players will have to choose whether to chase after Two-Face or Penguin in a two man robbery? Or maybe they'll have to decide whether to brutalize a criminal during an interrogation or to use milder methods, just like a few circumstances players face as Sheriff Bigby Wolf in 'The Wolf Among Us.' The possibilities are almost endless when it comes to Tell-Tale, so it's definitely something to get excited about.

Top, American Eagle/ jeans, Boohoo/ boots, ASOS/ bag, Longchamp
I've been expanding my jeans collection, from the black skinny, by buying tons more embroidered and out there pieces such as the exhibit above. I also realised I have like no t-shirts that aren't 5 years old in my wardrobe, what the HECK? British weather has ultimately forced me into buying and collating masses of jumpers every year and so when I actually need a t-shirt, I have none.
Side note: The drink I'm clutching is the iced caramel latte from Ezra and Gil.. it's so darn good.

Once you are past that initial apprehension, then comes the problem of choosing what type to use. The common dilemma is between vagina weights and ben wa balls. Both can be designed to strengthen your pelvic and vaginal muscles but they are different in a number of ways.
Shape Does Matter
The main difference from a physical standpoint is they are obviously shaped differently. From the names of the items themselves, you can tell that one is conical in structure and the other is spherical. The difference in their shapes can account for the reason why some people find vaginal weights relatively more comfortable. Physically, the vagina actually consists of a tube that leads to the cervix. This tube runs parallel to the urethra and at a certain point, perpendicular to the bladder. Since vagina weights are tube shaped, they are easier to adjust and sit correctly, rather than ben wa balls made in a round shape.
Here are some other advantages:
Your goal when using vagina weights is to make sure that you exercise the right muscles. Your goal to a certain extent also involves making sure that you are able to find something that is more or less easy to use and offers a wider variety of benefits. When considering these choices and comparing the cones to the balls, the overall standout winner is quite obviously, a vaginal cone set.
