A desire to move from black and white into coulour
Genres: corporate fairs special events adult contemporary
About Coldplay:
"This album was fuelled by a desire to move from black and white into colour," says Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. "Or, if you like, we decided to let our garden grow a little more unkempt. The bloodhound was let off its leash."
However you might describe it, there's no mistaking the artistic leap which 'Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends' represents for the four friends collectively known as Coldplay. "I think it's our boldest and most confident record," says bassist Guy Berryman. "We were much more open to new ideas and influences and much less afraid to experiment." "It can be easy to stop yourself from trying things because you're scared of what people might say," adds Martin, "but we forced ourselves not to do that."
The result is a record where groovesome programmed beats jostle with grand swells of church organ ('Lost!'), where the space between verse and chorus is filled with deliciously propulsive stabs of North African-styled strings and tablas ('Yes'), where breezy Flamenco handclaps drive a tale of gloom and despair ('Cemeteries Of London'), or where four-to-the-floor rhythms meld with weeping strings for an ode to lost glories ('Viva La Vida'). It sounds like Coldplay, only different.
"The starting point for this album was listening to an amazing old Blur song called 'Sing (To Me)' while we were on the road with 'X&Y'," says Martin, referring to a pounding, hypnotic track from Blur's first album. "I remember hearing it and thinking, 'OK, we need to get better as a band'." The first song for Coldplay's new album was written the very next day.
"I'm driven by two things," Martin continues. "One is trying to make sense of existence. The other is when I hear something brilliant, trying to write something as good as that. With this album, we were inspired by so much amazing music. We'd listen to Rammstein and Tinariwen next to each other and the result would be something like the middle bit of '42'. For another track, we'd listen to Marvin Gaye and Radiohead. Or Jay-Z and the Golden Gate Trio. Or My Bloody Valentine and Gerschwin. Or Delakota and Blonde Redhead. There were no limitations."
"We've definitely stretched ourselves," says guitarist Jonny Buckland. But those sonic stretches didn't come at the expense of the diamond-tipped melodies which have helped make Coldplay one of the world's favourite bands since they released their debut album, 'Parachutes', in 2000. 'Viva…' might find Coldplay in experimental mood, but its 10 songs still burst with big, life-affirming hooks and choruses. "I hope so," says Buckland, "We've never been ashamed of tunes and we never will be." "We're still obsessed with making songs that can be sung to the rafters," agrees Martin. "We just wanted to present them differently."
In that spirit, the band decided at the very beginning of the recording process that 'Viva…' would be their shortest album. "We realised we hadn't really listened to any albums all the way through for quite a long time," explains Buckland, "the simple reason being that people put too many songs on them." "So, although it meant leaving off some tracks that we love," says Martin, "this album had to finish before an episode of CSI is over." Sure enough, the band kept the album's ten tracks within their target of 42 minutes (though additional hidden songs do bring the overall length to 46 minutes).
Another big change was that the band found themselves a permanent HQ; a former bakery tucked down an anonymous alley opposite a north London council estate. There, they could rehearse, write, work on artwork or just relax (the dartboard proved particularly popular). As Buckland says, "It's the first time we've had a proper band home since we were rehearsing in my student bedroom in 1999. And it made a big difference." "The Bakery has been an absolute godsend," agrees drummer Will Champion. "We could come in every day, with no pressure on time, and just work on our music. Previously, we'd think: We've got a handful of songs, let's go into a big, expensive studio and start recording. But then, we'd end up scrapping most of the stuff and having to start again, because we hadn't spent enough time rehearsing or writing. With this record, we spent months in The Bakery before going into a studio. We just demoed and played and rehearsed and practiced, until things sounded great. We ended up much better prepared for the actual recording, a lot of which we actually did in The Bakery too."
From the start, the band were joined in The Bakery by the album's two producers, Brian Eno and Markus Dravs. "It was Brian's idea to work with us," says Martin. "I would often meet up with him for tea and start playing tabla machines and that just turned into a year's worth of production. Then Markus came through Win from Arcade Fire, after he worked on 'Neon Bible'. Win said, 'You should work with this guy cos he'll whip you into shape'."
Eno and Dravs pooled their talents to form something of a production dream team in the studio. "They're both very different characters," explains Berryman, "they really balanced each other out." As Win Butler had implied, Dravs was a harsh task master. "He worked us like dogs," grins Buckland. "Everything had to be done to his exacting standards. He really pushed us as musicians, to get us to the point where we could record a lot of the album live." And that's exactly what they did. "I would say about 80 percent of what you hear was recorded with the four of us in a circle, playing together," says Martin. "That's a pretty unusual way to record these days, but it's the ultimate fun of being in a band."
Eno, meanwhile, provided the inspiration and confidence Coldplay needed to develop their sound. "He completely disrupted the formula," says Champion. "He forced us to change everything about our usual way of working and then see where that would take us. Brian has this amazing ability to demystify wonderful music and make it seem very achievable. We weren't afraid to try anything."
And that means anything; be it relocating to Barcelona to record group vocals in ancient churches, or inviting a hypnotist into The Bakery. "That was a good day," says Champion. "He talked us through this process of extreme self-relaxation and the possibilities of what you can do when you're in a state where there are no constraints on your imagination. Then we went back downstairs and played some music. There was some hope that we'd be able to regress into some Tudor madrigal or something!" Sadly, that didn't happen, nor did any of the resulting music make it onto the album, but the band still found it a worthwhile experience. "I was buzzing for weeks," says Champion. "It just backed up what Brian always says about not being afraid to experiment and try things you haven't done before."
"Brian brought so much to this album," agrees Martin. "For starters, he actually played on a lot of it. But he brought life, freedom, drive, distortion, excitement, oddness, madness, sexuality, geekiness and Roxyness. All of those things. He's amazing."
Another crucial presence in the studio for 'Viva…' was the band's close friend and former manager, Phil Harvey. He's the person you'll see listed as Coldplay's fifth member in the booklet accompanying both 'Viva…' and their multi-award winning second record, 2002's 'A Rush Of Blood To The Head'. Yet, when the band had made their third album, 2005's 'X&Y', Harvey was absent, living in Australia.
"With our last album, we missed our editor and our fifth member, because he was a few thousand miles too far away," says Martin. "Some of the songs on that record are great, but we needed someone to say, relax, take this out, don't worry about this. Phil's like an overlord figure for us." "He was the biggest difference of all on this record, I think," adds Buckland. "We missed him so much on the last one. He's our wise man, sounding board, buffer zone, everything. It's amazing how much easier things are when he's around." Which certainly isn't to say that making 'Viva…' was trouble-free. Coldplay have always put themselves through the mill to make their records, and 'Viva…' was no exception. "It's actually been more of a roller-coaster than ever," says Martin. "I think if you want to make something good, you have to suffer for it. And we went through every emotion you can dream of. Except sloth. We haven't really gone through that. But everything else. And I think you can hear that in the finished product."
'Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends' takes its title from the extremes of emotions that fuel it. This is an album characterised by loss and uncertainty, travel and time, happiness and regrets. "I'm not sure if it's bi-polar syndrome, but we definitely have something going on in our heads which is as much down as it is up," says Martin. "Unfortunately it's uncontrollable. I wrote these songs in both states; they're up and down and all over the place. There was no lyrical plan, they just come out like that. But they're rallying cries too. There's always love, joy and excitement in our music."
That much is obvious from the giddy rush of 'Lovers In Japan' or the sweet carnal bliss of 'Strawberry Swing'. But it's clear, too, from the insistent hope of a track like '42' ("There must be something more") or the spine-tingling group-sung climax to 'Death And All His Friends'. "We're never going to lose the desire to be optimistic," says Martin.
What then, of Coldplay's ambitions for 'Viva…'? "I wanted this record to prove us worthy of the position we've been given," says Martin. "And there's no question that we've come out of this process a better band; whatever anyone makes of the record, when we play live, we're gonna be on fire. But, ultimately, however cerebral you try to get about it, this album is there to entertain people; to provide 42 minutes of enjoyment, with ten great songs that will each be somebody's favourite. I'm really hopeful that we've achieved that."

What You'll Get
After properly cooking a lobster, its once-brown exoskeleton turns bright red, letting chefs know that it's both ready to serve and profoundly embarrassed for showing up without pants. Make a meal of deliciously mortified seafood with today's Groupon: for $29, you get $60 worth of sushi and eclectic tapas at Yuki Arashi in Park City.
Best of State Awards from 2010 and 2011 attest to the strengths of Yuki Arashi's menu of Asian-influenced tapas and fresh, seasonal nigiri, sushi, and sashimi from both sides of the Pacific. The rainbow maki ($16.95) honors a california roll with a crown of blue crab, avocado, and cucumber, and the key to all municipal goldfish bowls. A tide of 18 types of nigiri washes pristine slices of sea urchin, snow crab, and ahi tuna onto white isles of rice ($6.95–$14.95 for two pieces), and sushi chefs adorn the trio of tempura shrimp, tuna, and avocado found in the luxury roll with lacy sprouts and shisho leaf before baking it with spicy mayo and sprinkling on emerald scallions and glittering roe ($15.95). One hand scoops up korean taco tapas filled with chili-marinated pork, kimchee salsa, and pickled cabbage ($10.95), while the other plunges grilled New Zealand lamb into accompanying mustard-miso sauce ($18.95). Chefs draw upon an ever-changing palette of seasonal seafood that may include live scallops from Washington and Kumamoto oysters from Japan.
Diners relax among dusky rose curtains along a wall-to-wall banquette or perch at the blond wood sushi bar to watch nimble hands roll out sushi and high-five octopi sous-chefs. Glowing pendant lamps warm the earth-toned dining room's interior, creating pools of shadow along rustic stonewalls and shimmering off punched metal partitions between private tables festooned with paintings and sprays of cut flowers.
The Fine Print
Promotional value expires Dec 17, 2011. Amount paid never expires. Limit 3 per person. Limit 1 per table. Not valid for the purchase of alcohol. Dine-in and carryout only. Merchant is solely responsible to purchasers for the care and quality of the advertised goods and services.
About [[m:####Yuki Arashi
Japanese, Korean, and French culinary traditions collide in Yuki Arashi's kitchen, forming Asian-inspired tapas strewn with local and organic ingredients. The hot and cold small plates are perfect for sharing or alternately pressing to a sprained ankle, and they range from classic gyoza to modern arrangements of truffled albacore with microgreens and garlic crisps. At the sushi bar, chefs slice catches flown in fresh from Japan and the West Coast for sashimi and nigiri, as well as for rolling into specialty maki rolls such as the inside-out Millipede with tempura shrimp, spicy tuna tartare, avocado, and tobiko.
In the sleek dining room, bulbous vases of flowers sit above high-backed banquettes, their colorful blooms echoing the honey- and plum-hued flecks in the large variegated stone wall. Seats at the sushi bar invite patrons to gaze at the chefs' artful hard work, and an intimate tatami room enables guests to forgo chairs and dine in the traditional Japanese style.:m]]

I stick to my favorite franchises and usually cant even tell you what is showing on the circuit at any given time. As such I went into the cinema with no real expectations or even any prior knowledge of who or what Deadpool was. The first 20 minutes of this movie changed all that. [Read more…]

Ok, We all know I love school. But I also love to sleep… so sometimes I have to really run in the morning. This is the moment when white shirts and jeans come to play. Today I'm showing you three simple outfits that are perfect for school or work. All of them with a white shirt and a pair of jeans but with enough style to make you look chic!
For those who love comfort
Combine the go-to combo with a bomber jacket. It is simple and REALLY trendy this season. I love how rose gold tones look when they are combined with olive green so this might be a great combination if you are looking for a casual and simple yet cool outfit. I love this eyeglass chain by Wakami because it adds a girly vibe to the whole thing.
For those who are not afraid of fringes
This is my favorite outfit. (I tend to dress more on the bohemian side) Combine this simple outfit with a statement piece such as a fringe jacket. Add booties and maybe a bandana to look more polished. Trust me, this is perfect for those days when you want to make an impression but you have no time at all. Combine this look with our Wakami eyeglass Chain to wrap the whole look with a bohemian vibe. Don't leave your house without your favorite LAMULTICOLOR bag!
For those who want to look a tiny bit nerdy
Ok, I must confess I love to look nerdy on the first weeks of school. (There's no second chance to make a first impression, right? ) So this is one of my go-to outfits to show how I love books and also love fashion. Combine the classic white shirt and jeans with a knitted sweater (My favorite fall piece) add some cute oxfords and a headband to achieve that sweet look. Our Wakami eyeglass chains are perfect to give this look an extra edgy vibe and make it look more fashionable.
Have a great back to school season and remember that learning is one of the most amazing experience one can have!

Being surrounded can be stressful, even when what is surrounding you is your own stuff. What a mess. You feel like you're always cleaning up and organizing. The problem is that there is too much to begin with. You can keep reorganizing as much as you want but that stuff will not stay where you want it.
If you think it feels good to organize, I can say that it feels better to get rid of that crap you keep on having to mess with.
A great place to start is your junk drawer. Have you used anything in there in the past six months? What is that stuff? Bring the trash can right over to it and start getting rid of things from inside.
Next, move to your night stand or where ever you put things before bed. That stand might also have drawers on it full of junk you haven't used in years.
That's honestly a good start. Forcing yourself to really decide if you need to hang on to those chincy trinkets you've kept "just in case."
You might even find something that you get to list on craigslist or eBay and make a few bucks out of it.
Start with the small and easier decisions. It will feel pretty good.

In December 2008, we were lucky enough to spend our Christmas in Queenstown, New Zealand after having travelled around the south island for around seven days first. As a couple in our 20s, we were used to going to our respective family homes for the festive season and this was the first time that we actually got to spend it together and alone and the world was our oyster. We were in the extreme sports capital of the world and we were going to get as much out of stay as possible.
The trip to Queentown had started in rainy Christchurch and we hired our little campervan thinking "oh no – we've left Sydney basking in it's 30 degree heat for this!" The waterways running through Arthur's Pass, the home of the original gold rush in the south island, were pouring with rain water and we had to stop at various points winding through those crazy roads, as they were really dangerous to drive on. Our Christmas was resembling a British one (wet!), except that we weren't tucked up indoors being able to look at the rain through our window but having to put some hours in on the road.
By the time we hot the west of the island at Greymouth and down the Franz Josef highway, thing started to look up and within a few days we had both taken our first helicopter trip to see the Mount Cook national park (we're at the other side in the picture above), hiked on the Franz Josef glacier and basked in sunshine that would FINALLY make people at home jealous!
We arrived in Queenstown on Christmas Eve to stay with the lovely people at Lake Vista (booked via the every reliable Hostel Bookers) run by Bev & Ian McLenaghen who provided us with delicious breakfast and local advice.
Christmas Day was spent chatting with fellow guests in the B&B, which for me was a bit of strange experiences – sharing your Christmas Day morning with strangers, although the other couples we chatted with were super friendly. We then took a leisurely walk into town and were delighted to be able to get a table outside at Prime Waterfront Restaurant and Bar before it really filled up and turned people away and had the most delicious of Christmas salmon (and plenty of champagne if I recall).
We then spent the evening watching TV and getting drunk on Bailey's. I really cannot remember a better Christmas Day in my adult life and getting to sleep was really difficualt that night (almost as difficult as a child trying to sleep on Christmas Eve) as we had planned the most exciting Boxing Day for when we woke up: the morning spent skydiving and then jumping off a cliff with the boys at Canyon Swing. The skydive was my second and ran by the guys at Nzone who do tandem jumps above Queenstown with the drop zone in the Remarkables mountain range (which is surrounded by a working sheep farm). My first skydive had been earlier in the year in Australia along the eastern coast and I was really disappointed to have closed my eyes for a lot of the freefall, so this time I made sure that I said I had jumped before and that I wanted to be pushed to be brave this time! My request did not fall on deaf ears and me and my instructor Hanz were the last on the plane so that we would be the first to jump. I was also the only jumper with my own camera-person too. The vid will be on our YouTube channel to watch on Boxing Day.
I must say that if you have never done a tandem skydive, then I really recommend doing so and agree to it before you've even thought of it! You don't even have to make the decision to jump as some very experienced person STRAPPED TO YOU will make that decision and pull the parachute and pretty much land for you too. You're there for the ride. There's plenty of opportunity around the world to jump in some really beautiful places (and even some great places in the UK) and many will discount you if you jump for charity. You too can "do a Superman" in the air and shout "again, again" as soon as you get back to the ground.
We spent the afternoon goofily jumping from Shotover Canyon, which is the world's highest cliff jump at 109 meters. The guys there have mastered the art of fooling around a lot before you actually jump, coming up with crazy moves like Gimp Boy Goes to Hollywood, where you are suspended over said canyon, upside down, with a gimp mask on. We both did two jumps, both our seconds being pure jumps off rather than being suspended and I took around 10 minutes to take my second jump. I really didn't want to leave. It was only Josh shouting at me that made me realise that I should never waste any opportunities like this and did the most pathetic, girly jump ever off the side. Not as spectacular as the morning, but it brought a few laughs to those watching and made me smile afterwards.
This year, we are married and we have family coming to our flat in London, but I sure will be thinking of those lucky people in Queenstown right now, enjoying the 28 degree weather and planning some great adventures for their stay. New Zealand is great country and I can't wait to share more stories about driving around both of the islands.
Thanks for reading about our New Zealand Christmas and indeed for reading this blog since October. There are so many stories to tell from the road in 2013 and we really hope that you continue to follow them and tell us your own.
Merry Christmas everyone!

The air Canadians breathe today is much cleaner than what Canadians were breathing back in 1990. The first State of the Air report, issued by the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) in conjunction with its November 3, 2017 meeting in Vancouver, shows significant improvement in air quality over a range of parameters. The State of the Air report is an online tool accessible here.
The report cites Health Canada's estimate that improvement in air quality in 2011 prevented 4,100 deaths, 2,200 hospital visits and 770,000 asthma events. Better air quality meant 11 million fewer instances where Canadians experienced breathing symptoms and 5.7 million fewer instances of people restricting their activity (e.g., not going to work or school) because of health problems made worse by air pollution.
The trend toward improvement should continue. At the meeting, ministers endorsed new Canadian Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS) for nitrogen dioxide. The new standards set nitrogen dioxide concentration objectives in ambient air for 2020 and for 2025. It's expected the new standards will reduce emissions that are linked to health effects such as decreased lung function, respiratory health problems and environmental impacts.
CAAQS are benchmarks for air quality and are part of the Air Quality Management System, a comprehensive and harmonized approach to improve air quality across Canada. In addition to nitrogen dioxide, there are CAAQS for sulphur dioxide, fine particulate matter and ozone.

If you have agreed to be a guarantor for someone, you will have to pay off his debt if he is unable to repay it himself. For example, if you were a guarantor for someone who is unable to repay his renovation loan, you could end up repaying the loan for him. You could effectively be paying for the renovation of his flat.
Agreeing to be a guarantor is not an administrative matter. Being a guarantor is a serious commitment. Think about it seriously, and seek legal advice if necessary, before you agree to be a guarantor.
Can you afford and are you willing to repay someone's debt?
Before you agree to be a guarantor, ask yourself if you can afford to and if you are willing to pay off someone else's debt. If the person is unable to repay the debt to his lender, he is likely to face the same difficulty repaying you. Once you repay his debt, you may not be able to recover the money from him. This could hurt your own financial well-being.
Have you assessed the borrower's ability to repay his debt?
Consider seriously why he needs to borrow, why he needs a guarantor and how he is going to pay off his borrowings. If the loan is to be repaid over a long period of time, make sure you are comfortable that he will have enough income over this time to repay his debt.
Ask the borrower for all his loan documentation so you can assess the loan. Ask him to provide a copy of his credit report. This will help you to verify his overall financial standing in all his credit facilities.
Find out if any other security has been given for the loan, such as a mortgage, or if the borrower has pledged a deposit. The monies deposited with the bank can be set off against and deducted from the amount owed on the loan. Additional security may lower the risk to you as guarantor.
If you are going to be a guarantor for someone's business loan, you need to assess how likely the business will be sustainable and produce sufficient income to pay its overheads (e.g. rental, staff, utilities and suppliers) as well as repay its debts.
Understand your liability
The lender may ask you to repay a debt as soon as the borrower misses an interest or principal repayment. Ask the lender to tell you how much you will be liable for and the circumstances where the lender will ask you to repay the debt. Ask the lender if your liability is limited to a specific amount or is unlimited. Find out when your liability as a guarantor will be discharged and how you will be notified.
Understand the rights and obligations of co-guarantors
If you have agreed to a "joint and several liability" arrangement, the lender can ask you alone to pay all amounts owing to it, even if there are other guarantors. You may have rights against, as well as obligations to, your fellow guarantors. You may be able to persuade your fellow guarantors to contribute to the settlement of the loan even if the lender is unwilling to pursue them. On the other hand, you may become liable to your fellow guarantors.
Make sure you understand all your obligations by reading through the documents. Do take time to read and understand them, even if it takes a few days. Ask the lender to explain any terms and conditions you do not understand.
Principal debtor clauses
These clauses make you the guarantor liable as if you had borrowed the money yourself. So even though the borrower may escape liability, you would remain liable.
Payment on demand
The lender can seek repayment from you without having to prove it has attempted to recover the debt from the borrower. Payment must be made by you when the lender makes a demand. As guarantor, you will be liable for further charges, legal costs and interest if payment is delayed. Be clear about how a demand may be served by the lender. If you are not sure of the contents of the demand, approach the lender quickly.
The loan may be restructured at the lender's discretion, but this does not release you from his obligations.
Continuing security
The guarantee secures all the borrower's outstanding debts, as well as future advances to the borrower, subject to the overall limit of the guarantee plus interest, the lender's charges and costs. You will be liable for this outstanding amount until the lender explicitly releases you from your obligations.
You may be prevented from taking action against the borrower until the lender has recovered all amounts due to it from him first. The guarantor can only take action against the borrower after the lender has settled its own position. You cannot protect yourself by taking security or collateral from the borrower that may prejudice the rights of the lender.
Concurrent remedies
The lender may take action against you to recover the loan without first having to take action against the borrower. The lender may also take action against you at the same time as any proceedings against the borrower.
Set off
The lender may deduct your monies if held in a savings account with it, to set off against any amount due under the guarantee.
If you cannot settle the debt, there will be serious consequences. Your credit report will be affected and it might be difficult for you to borrow in the future even if the amount under the guarantee is eventually settled.
If you are in default of $10,000 or more, you may be subject to bankruptcy proceedings. A bankrupt faces many restrictions including restrictions on taking a loan, engaging in business and going abroad.

Wednesday Artist Spotlight: KGSR's Live Morning Broadcast During SXSW 2018
Incase you haven't heard... KGSR's Live Morning Broadcast During SXSW is making its triumphant return to the W Hotel Austin next week to bring you four days of live performances and interviews from over 30 artists! With so many great performers flocking into town for the big fest, trying to check out as many bands in advance as possible and map out the *perfect* SXSW show schedule can be an overwhelming task; which is why we wanted to help out a little by spotlighting three artists performing at our Live Morning Broadcast each day that we KNOW you'll love.
Today we're looking at a few of our Day One performers, who will take the stage Wednesday, March 14th starting at 6 AM. Check out the Facebook event page for more info and the full list of set times!
Pale Waves
Where they're from: Manchester, England
Genre: Indie Pop
When they play: 7:30 AM
These rising UK stars might look like a goth band straight out of the 80's but don't let their visual aesthetic fool you: their sound is sugary sweet, catchy as hell, and will have you dancing all day long. They formed in 2015 while attending university in Manchester and have quickly taken the world by storm, largely through touring with their good friends and labelmates, The 1975. Their debut full-length is in the works for a 2018 release and we can't wait to hear what they have in store. Check out the music video (directed by The 1975's Matty Healy) for their second single "Television Romance" below!
Jade Bird
Where she's from: Hexham, England
Genre: Country/Folk
When she plays: 8:30 AM
We first met the newly-turned 20-year-old English singer-songwriter back in October at our ACL Fest 2017 Live Backstage Broadcast, shortly after the release of her debut EP, Something American, and being named one of Rolling Stone's 10 New Country Artists You Need to Know in 2017. We were instantly charmed by her pop-tinged take on country, perfectly topped with her sweet yet powerful vocals, and she's only continued to wow us since then with the release of her new single and music video for "Lottery", one of our favorite new tracks of 2018 so far.
Barns Courtney
Where he's from: Ipswich, England
Genre: Rock & Roll
When he plays: 9:00 AM
Just a few years ago he was dropped by his label, working at a computer store, and sleeping on friends' couches. And now? He's landing singles on the alternative/rock charts and sharing bills with the likes of Ed Sheeran, The Lumineers, Blur, and The Who. Now that's a success story! And based on his passionate, commanding vocal ability and infectiously energetic live performances, we've got a strong feeling this is only the beginning. He's no stranger to our Live Morning Broadcasts and we're so excited to have him back again.

That will carry on to offer Progressively more experiences for shoppers. That's the purpose. That's the Participate in. And in fairness, which was the Enjoy with Wii U in addition.
Just like every system Nintendo makes, we have confidence in using a quite vast footprint, and we're skilled enough During this marketplace to are aware that the footprint alterations with time. We believe that by [next holiday break year], Together with the launch of Super Mario Odyssey
, and that it was prosperous. What we are Operating tough to do, is for making good choices with Nintendo Switch, and Once more be fortunate that the marketplace responds within a constructive way.
And it'll fill out The bottom. That system continues. It is a process for everybody. That is a procedure which will attract a broad group. It's likely to get crammed in eventually as the different game titles come in.
Cellular gaming would not generally center on Lively multiplayer or anticipate every single person to have a wonderful gamepad, And so the games are slimmed down to make certain All people can play.
Nintendo has introduced only five start titles for that Switch, 3 of that are third-occasion online games. You will have to wait much more than per month to play Mario Kart eight Deluxe, and you won't get your hands on Tremendous Mario Odyssey until finally the holiday time.
I don't remember who stated it but, one among our executives claimed something equivalent — I feel it might need been Mr. Miyamoto, the last time he was right here in The big apple, wherever he made the comment "I hope shoppers glance again at Wii U as a required action, so that you can get to Nintendo Switch." That is another way of saying Anything you did.
Nintendo has actually been paying out close notice to this craze, and their solution is available in two elements. The first step is introducing their written content to phones in exceptional new approaches, as we've seen recently with Tremendous Mario Operate.
When Ganon captures Zelda, he has a most evil plot in mind: using the Crystal of Management he has just found out, he will force Zelda to marry him -- after which Hyrule might be below his Management!
LG and Sony will not likely guidance 3D in almost any in their televisions for 2017. The businesses sign up for Samsung and Vizio in dropping the 3rd dimension of viewing.
All the basic principles Absolutely everyone hopes to know about the Nintendo Switch, like its price and launch day, is going to be unveiled tonight, January 12, in a very Exclusive Nintendo presentation from Tokyo.
When It is really spring cleaning time while in zelda the castle, Link pretends to have a chilly in order to get from executing work.
. That's amazingly crucial to the achievements of a whole new console, since you're inquiring men and women to spend many bucks on what quantities to a assure: There may not be a lot of video games however
If Nintendo packed it With all the Switch, it may be a modest hit. But at $50 I'm not observing a scenario during which Lots of individuals buy it.
The Ultimate Guide To the legend of zelda
That will carry on to offer Progressively more experiences for shoppers. That's the purpose. That's the Participate in. And in fairness, which was the Enjoy with Wii U in addition.

Oracle Energy Corp.: Arrone-1 Well Update
|Oracle Energy Corp. (TSX VENTURE:OCL)(PINK SHEETS:OECPF)(FRANKFURT:O2E) ("Oracle") announces that it has been notified by Ascent Resources plc (UK) it has completed drilling the Arrone-1 well in the Fiume Arrone Exploration Permit to the west of Rome.
The Arrone-1 well has been drilled to a total depth of 894 metres. It penetrated the prognosed Base Pliocene Unconformity at about 820 metres and continued to drill the Miocene section. Despite strong gas shows during drilling that necessitated a 20% increase in drilling mud weight, the logs showed that the Pliocene section had only thin, low porosity sand units that would not be capable of commercial production at this location. The partners in the project: Oracle Energy (20%), Italmin Exploration (14%), JKX Italia (10%) and Ascent Resources Italia (56% and operator; a wholly owned subsidiary of Ascent) have therefore agreed to plug and abandon the well.
Oracle Energy Corp is an international company engaged in the development and exploration of oil and gas. The Company also has an 18.75% interest in 640 acres in Zapata County, Texas, a 20% interest in six previously producing oil and gas concessions in Romania and a 15% interest in the Evaluation and Promotional Agreement for Area XIII, Peru. New project acquisitions are actively being negotiated on.

(Reuters) - The National Football League and its players union on Friday asked a U.S. judge to decide whether to uphold New England Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady's four-game suspension in the "Deflategate" case by Sept. 4 before the season begins.
U.S. District Judge Richard Berman in New York, who is overseeing litigation over the suspension, on Thursday urged the two sides to discuss a resolution and to cool down their rhetoric.

Statement by the Prime Minister on the Promulgation of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand B.E. 2560 (2017)
Statement by the Prime Minister on the Promulgation of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand B.E. 2560 (2017)
Respected Fellow Citizens,
On this day, 235 years ago, the Chakri Dynasty was founded, thus began the First Reign of Rattanakosin Period. Hence this day is dedicated to commemorating King Rama I the Great, and known as "Chakri Memorial Day". Since then, successive Reigns have passed until the present Reign of King Rama X, His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun. I therefore wish to invite all of us to pay tribute to the benevolence of each King of the Chakri Dynasty for protecting the Thai people in peace and happiness, and for maintaining the independence and sovereignty of this nation until the present day.
Also on this day, just a few hours ago, His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun has graciously bestowed the new Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand to the Thai people. This is the 20th Constitution in 85 years, approved by over 16 million voters in a referendum, representing 61.35 per cent out of the 30 million people whoturned out to vote, or the equivalent of 60 per cent of the total eligible voters.
From this day onwards, the following will come into effect:
1. The Constitution (Interim) B.E. 2557, which has been in force for more than 2 years, has now ceased its effect.
2. By virtue of the transitory provisions of the new Constitution, the present Cabinet of Ministers, as well as the National Council for Peace and Order, and the National Legislative Assembly, will continue to function until the general elections are held. The National Reform Steering Assembly and the Constitution Drafting Committee will also remain for a period of time.
3. The new Constitution, which is the supreme governing law of the country, entitles the people to greater rights and freedom. However, together with rights, come duties. Therefore, one cannot demand greater rights without shouldering further duties. The same applies to the government. Even the exercise of administrative or state powers, and the performance of official duties by the military, the police or civil servants - all will have to be undertaken with greater prudence.
4. The new Constitution stipulates 2 important tasks. The first task is to develop a long-term strategy to determine national development goals in the political, security, economic and social fields, which will give the country a direction to move forward as well as the means to attain that direction. The second task will be to reform the country in various areas in order to mobilize the country towards stability, prosperity and sustainability as envisioned in the national strategy. This is such an important task that an issue was once raised on whether to reform the country before or after the general elections. To implement these two tasks, new legislation will be required to identify the responsible authorities and indicate methods and procedures which will ensure inclusive participation by the people. A bill regarding the said matter will be proposed by the government to the National Legislative Assembly in the near future.
The NCPO and the government did not assume control of the national administration with any intention to acquire power or make any gains whatsoever, nor did they have any desire to prolong their role and let time pass without progress, but rather, theyintended to solve problems that have obstructed national development. The NCPO and the government have announced their plans and procedures, known as the "Roadmap", to inform the people from the very beginning that in the first phase, the NCPO would assume national administration for a short period which lasted for only two months. The beginning of the second phase was marked by the promulgation of the Interim Constitution and the formation of the Cabinet, as well as the appointment of the Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC). From then until now, this stage of the second phase lasted altogether 2.5 years.
The last part of the second phase of the Roadmap is the promulgation of the new Constitution, which has begun from today.
Plans and steps of procedures to be undertaken at this stage include administering the country by strengthening security in every aspect; maintaining peace and order; improving the quality of life; reducing inequality; developing infrastructure; enhancing national competitiveness; amending and modernizing rules and regulations. Moreover, this stage will include preparations for national reform, national strategy and national reconciliation. The Government has set up a committee to oversee this task, known as the Committee on National Reform, National Strategy and Reconciliation.
In addition, the last part of the second phase will see the beginning of several important events, including the drafting of 10 organic law bills by the Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC) within the next 8 months. Each organic law bill will be submitted to the National Legislative Assembly for consideration which shall be completed within a period of 2 months. Should any amendment be required, it will take approximately another month for revision. The organic law bills will then be presented to His Majesty King for His Royal signature, which shall take place within 90 days. Once the first 4 organic laws, which are prerequisite for the general elections, have been promulgated, the general elections will then be underway, during which registration for candidacy will take place, followed by election campaigns and finally vote casting. All of this will take place within 5 months after the said 4 organic laws are promulgated.
The Government cannot set the exact date of the elections because it is not yet possible to pre-determine the beginning dates of each successive event. At this moment, we only know the beginning date of the first event today - the Promulgation of the Constitution.The succeeding events will follow in an orderly sequence. In fact, one can only speculate but cannot possibly determine the exact date or time for any event. The procedures will follow the aforementioned sequence, none of which are new as all of us have been aware of this since the referendum took place. Nothing has been changed, except for the beginning date of each step. Once the elections are held and the new Government is formed, this Government will hand over its duties to the new Government and will cease its duties, marking the beginning of the third phase as stipulated in the Roadmap.
From today, the Government will continue to stand by the people and perform its normal duties under the new Constitution. The National Council for Peace and Order will also continue its work. All the Announcements and Orders made by the NCPO or the Head of NCPO , as well as any act carried out under Section 44 of the Interim Constitution, remain valid and will be implemented under the same conditions – to be implemented only under emergency situations needed for the maintenance of security and peace of the nation or to facilitate reforms and solve problems that cannot be promptly addressed by ordinary measures, especially in matters that will cause widespread public damage if left unsolved for a prolonged period of time.
Fellow citizens,
The Government hopes that from today onwards, all individuals, parties and sectors will foster greater cooperation in order to develop the country using the State of the People approach (Pracharath) and in accordance with the provisions and spirit of the Constitution which aims to see the country moving towards stability, prosperity and sustainability in all dimensions. This will be done by fostering unity and harmony as well as maintaining peace and security conducive to undertake the forthcoming national agenda - the Royal Cremation Ceremony of His Majesty the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej, and the Coronation Ceremony of His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkunas well as the preparations for the general elections under a democratic system with the King as Head of State which shall be done in a smooth, transparent and just manner to mark a significant political change under the new Constitutional provisions. Thus any act that will lead to any disturbance or harming the atmosphere and good intentions of the Thai people shall not be permitted.
The Government wishes to express its sincere gratitude to the people of Thailand for helping to maintain national peace and security and moving the country forward according to the Roadmap. I would like to take this opportunity to humbly invite the kind and boundless merits of their Majesties the late Kings of the Chakri Dynasty to protect the Kingdom of Thailand for peace and prosperity, and to bless her people under Their auspicious aegis for perpetuity.

Holy moly what a weekend! The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and the jackets were left behind. Of course this is Minnesota we are talking about so everything is currently covered in a blanket of snow and my open toed shoes are back in the closet.
Friday evening my friend Amelia and I took her dog for a walk to a nearby park before meeting Kari and Jason for dinner at the Bulldog Northeast. We were all pretty hungry and went HAM on appetizers and burgers before moving on with our night.
Our second stop took us to Tattersall, a local distillery. It was my first time there so I was excited to try a few of their cocktails. All were very delicious and I would definitely go back to try a few more.
Our final stop of the night was the 1029 Bar. One of my favorite places to grab a cold drink, pull up a stool and watch people karaoke.
I took advantage of having a quiet house and slept in on Saturday morning. After a lazy afternoon I decided to check out what the evening Saturday night Uber crowd would be like. I filled up my car, turned on the app and the requests kept coming.
I officially had that no-good-unsettling-pit-in-stomach passenger. Do you have a minute, cause this could get a tad long.
I was in the Western burbs and just dropped off a lovely gentlemen who was going to his buddies for a BBQ and some cards. My next request came in to pick up a guy at a bar near by. When I pulled up there were two guys outside. One of them was stumbling around trying to light a cigarette, the other guy was watching over him. I had a hunch that they were my pickup but after a few failed calls and texts I assumed the person who requested the Uber had left. There's a countdown in the app and after 5 minutes of waiting, drivers are allowed to cancel rides.
Just as I put my car in drive, one of the guys walked over to my car and that's when I realized he wasn't my passenger, but security for the bar. He said the guy I was waiting for wandered across the parking lot so I drove over to find a young twenty-something hunched over with his fingers in his mouth, falling over and trying to get a cigarette.
Seeing this is the sole reason I stayed away from driving at night, but then again, this was only 6:45 PM, so you don't typically see people this blasted.
The security guard helped get the kid in my car. He sat in the front seat and I requested that he put his seat belt on. It took about five minutes of him trying and trying again before he was able to successfully clasp the seat belt. When I started the ride, I saw that the destination was Hazelden Betty Ford Clinic. Well shit.
On our five mile drive to the clinic the kid was passed out hard core. Luckily since I insisted he put his seat belt on, that kept him in his seat. Had he not had the belt on, he would have slid out of the seat in no time, or over on to me.
When I pulled up to the clinic, I could not get the kid to wake up so I shut off my car, took my valuables and tried to get some help. There was no one at the front desk and all the doors were locked. I pressed an after hours button and finally had a response. Trying to explain my situation went a little something like this.
"Yes, I'm an Uber driver and I have a passed out guy in my car. I don't know his name or if he's supposed to be here, but he was kicked out of a bar and this is the address that I was supposed to bring him to."
Someone came to the door and I again explained my situation before he went for backup. A couple minutes later two men came to assess the situation and found out that there was one more person waiting to be admitted that day and that person was passed out in the front seat of my car.
About 5-10 minutes passed while one of the gentlemen from the clinic tried to wake up my passenger and then all of a sudden he woke up, insisted on getting out of the car and was stumbling around with absolutely zero idea of who he was or where he was.
A nurse was called and eventually so was 911.
I feel like I did a good deed by not leaving this kid in a parking lot, but man, if you could have seen the look on his face, smelled the beer and vomit on him, you would have wanted to drive away too.
I continued to drive until midnight and the rest of my passengers were much more put together. I think I would continue to drive on Friday or Saturday nights, the fares rack up a lot faster and people are usually just out for a good time.
Sunday morning was much more productive than Saturday. I got up feeling fresh and ready for the day ahead of me. I went to the gym to work with my trainer who murdered my arms. Have you ever gone so hard on an arm workout that your arms won't hang right and you look like a gorilla when you walk. That's me.
After my training session I dropped my car off at home and walked to Cycle Bar in Uptown. I was participating in a spin class for RivALZ, previously Blondes vs. Brunettes. It was such a gorgeous day, perfect for a pre-spin walk in the sunshine.
I'm no rookie when it comes to spin classes, but this instructor was all over the place and didn't give the best instructions. He was very entertaining to watch though. Cycle Bar as a whole was pretty cool. When you walk in they have a wall of spin shoes to choose from. I had never taken a spin class with actual spinning shoes and if I get back into it, I think it would be a great investment. They also offered different temperature water on tap which was pretty neat☺
After class a couple of us went to a bar across the street to soak up some sunshine on the rooftop and reward ourselves with a couple beers.
When the clouds started to roll in we all walked to our respective homes and called it a day.
I completed a puzzle I'd been working on since Christmas break (finally) and then made my second Home Chef meal. The thyme and rosemary pork tenderloin and mashed broccoli was very simple to make and tasted quite delicious too.
I think Monday's should be mandatory weekend recovery days.

Twelve grapes and a stuffed pig
by Alex on Dec.31, 2009, under Blog
Apparently I have to find twelve grapes for this evening. And then I'm to eat one in time with every strike of midnight's bells. If I succeed (and I read it's quite difficult) then I'll enjoy a prosperous two thousand and ten. It's a Spanish tradition of about one hundred years and it seems that it's made its way to Colombia, I'll let you know how I get on…
A celebratory thing that is one hundred percent Colombian is lechona. It's not Yuletide-specific but one was served on Christmas eve when we went with the guys from Cranky Croc (hostel) to Destino Nómada (hostel) for our Christmas dinner.
The meat is first removed from the pig and mixed with garlic, onion, peas and rice and seasoned with salt, pepper and cumin, shoved back in the pig which is basted with bitter orange juice and roasted for ages.
It sounds pretty tasty though didn't have any, being a veggie and all.
Well, it's a few minutes before midnight in the UK so HNY to all over there, we're still wondering what to do this side, am sure we'll come up with something good though wonder how I'll fayre being four days into my month (or so) off booze!

Psalm 114
When Israel escaped Egypt –
that is, Jacob's descendants from those with forked tongues –
Judah was where to find God;
Israel was God's country.
The sea fled before them,
And the River Jordan also swept back.
The mountains jumped out of the way like rams,
And the hills scattered like lambs.
Why, sea, did you flee?
Why, River, did you sweep back?
Why, mountains, did you jump?
Why, hills, did you scatter?
Quake before God, O earth!
Quake before Jacob's God,
Who turned rock to water
And made flint-stone gush with water.

Vandals scaled a 9-foot wall at the Center for the Arts in downtown Rock Hill before destroying thousands of dollars of artwork over the weekend, police said.
Three pieces of artwork were destroyed, said Debra Heintz, executive director of the Arts Council of York County.
Other pieces had saliva on them, according to one artist.
"It's a real shame that the people who did this have so little respect for the hard work and heart that have gone into these art pieces," said Lyn Garris, spokeswoman for the city of Rock Hill. "It's sad that people would opt to spend their time doing malicious things like this."
No arrests have been made in the case, said Lt. Jerry Waldrop of the Rock Hill Police Department. Officials believe that youths on Saturday climbed over walls to gain access to upstairs studios at the Center for the Arts.
About 200 people attended a wedding reception Saturday at the Center for the Arts, Heintz said.
After the reception, police responded to the Center for the Arts on East Main Street, where they found the damaged artwork.
Rock Hill artist William Phillip "Phil" Murdock Sr. entered his "messed up" studio and found some damaged artwork, according to a police report. Someone used a drill bit to put a hole in the forehead of a carousel horse, and a unicorn head also was damaged, the report states.
"Why would they want to do something like this?" an emotional Murdock asked. "Spit all over my stuff. I don't understand the concept. Why would they want to come in and destroy my artwork?"
A trap of electrical tape and nails was left near the door to Murdock's studio. Tiffany Melchers was thankful her father, who worked on the carousel for a year, did not slip and fall on the nails.
"He does not draw or carve for profit," she said. "He only gives away his work to family members and friends. That carousel was supposed to be mine."
An oil painting that was created by Herald photographer Jim Stratakos and several pedestals were defaced with a gold-colored spray paint.
"I hate looking at what they did to my painting," Stratakos said. "So much time was spent on it. Now, it will never be what it was."
Stratakos' painting was valued at $1,000, while Murdock's unicorn head and carousel had a combined valued of $7,000, according to reports and Murdock.
Heintz, who hovered nearby, studied the aftermath of the vandalism.
"Artists put their blood, sweat and tears into a work of art," she said. "It takes years, sometimes, to create and only seconds to destroy."
So far this year, the Rock Hill Police Department has investigation 29 acts of vandalism. Anyone with information on Saturday's incident at the Center for the Arts is asked to call CrimeStoppers of York County at 1-877-409-4321 or the Rock Hill Police Department at 329-7200.

Track Overview
May 17, 2010 • 970 views
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
As the track and field team changes every year, one thing stays the same: the Presentation Panthers have always done what they could with the small number of people available. They finished this season with a well deserved 3-3-0 record below the top three of Archbishop Mitty, Saint Francis, and Saint Ignatius, respectively.
With a tough season that featured many injuries, the long distance section of the Panther's team still came out undefeated. Although the sprinting section did not finish off as well, junior Allison Bajet, whose best time in the 100-meter is 12.9 seconds, said,
"The individual races within the team really help build confidence because usually, when someone goes into a race thinking they are going to win and they lose, they can't get out of the mental downspin. I like that little competition within the team. The races really help you learn that while you lose a few, you win a few. Your teammates make you go faster and strive to become better." Bajet took part in many of the relays for Varsity this year, improving considerably since the first practice after coming out of her junior varsity soccer.
With all of the help this year from seven coaches and the volunteer coach for pole vaults, the athletes kept their heads ups with the wins and losses. Still, according to Coach Chris Cozort, consistent attendance at practices and meets remained a challenge. "Mr. Cooling encourages athletes to participate in multiple sports at Pres, which helps our programs by spreading the school's athletic ability around to multiple teams," said Cozort, who will be leaving Presentation at the end of the year to work at Bellarmine. "Many athletes unfortunately choose to participate in club sports outside of Pres which has a generally negative impact on school sports participation."
Overall, the team had a good year with many personal bests and young freshmen and sophomores making a difference. With this said, next year is expected to break new heights. With the size of Presentation, it is tricky to form a strong team overall, but Cozort believes we can do it. "We want the caliber team, which is easier to find in a bigger group of students, but we've assembled some great, strong, quick runners even with endurance. There will be a young team out there next year."

World English (Bunim & Bannigan), Turkey (Zeplin Kitap)
Albert Einstein has changed our understanding of space and time forever. Thomas de Padova's biography sheds a new light on Einstein's general theory of relativity. In Berlin in 1914 Einstein's world is falling apart. His marriage with Mileva fails, Germany enthusiastically enters the war, his colleagues Max Planck, Wilhelm Röntgen, and others sign the racist proclamation "Appeal to the Cultured World", and his friend Fritz Haber, whose son Einstein tutors, conducts cruel chemical warfare on both fronts. Padova, in his convincing prose and for the first time, gives an account of Einstein's early years in Berlin. He describes how Einstein does not conform to his surroundings, how he becomes a passionate pacifist, and how he, in the midst of a collapsing world, reinvents space and time.

Secretary of State John Kerry acknowledged Saturday that climate change didn't cause the Syrian conflict, but he said it did play a large role in making the situation worse.
In a speech at the Milan Expo in Italy, Kerry said that climate change and the resulting food shortages play a large role in national security and urged the international community to come together to find a solution.
"Make no mistake: The implications here extend well beyond hunger," Kerry said, according to an Associated Press report. "This isn't only about global food security; it's about global security — period."
Violence in Syria under the regime of President Bashar Assad has resulted in the mass migration of millions of immigrants into Europe, straining resources there. Kerry said that the already-bad situation under the regime was worsened by climate change and the resulting drought and food shortage.Read more on WashingtonExaminer.com

What are Charter Buses and their Different Types
It is a fact that when we hear of a charter bus for rent, what would come into our minds would be an ordinary bus with no facilities. But you will be astound that there are several kinds or options available than one would have imagined.
The fact is there are several charter bus rentals in many places like in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Florida. People who are in need of charter bus rentals can find several selections, from the basic and stripped down type, to the glamorous and decked if they want to. Among the standard options, your options can also be based on the company you are picking out or your personal needs.
Similar to school buses in size and appearance, is one type of charter bus rental which is like a standard bus categorized as the basic bus. You can move large number of people in this type of charter bus rental, and the service comes with a professional driver. Many people are satisfied with the service of a basic charter bus rental, may not have so much frills, but their church, or school or business events are served enough, plus it does not cost them a fortune to rent it.
Another type of charter bus rental is the double-decker buses that are available in many large metro areas and it resembles a British double-decker. Some of these buses include lavatory features and is inclined to be the favourite for private city and country tours. This kind of charter bus rental is also a favourite to transfer people from one place to another to attend various events.
Another type of charter bus rental is the party buses which is available in just any city. This type of charter bus rental is a favourite of smaller groups to engage in their special activities.
Decked out charter bus rentals or the tour buses is another kind of charter bus rental that are readily found in many cities. Onboard entertainment like television and DVD combination can usually be found in this type of charter bus rental.
The slightly smaller version of a tour bus is the limo bus which is our next type of charter bus rental. This kind of charter bus rental may or may not offer bathroom facilities but is usually with glamour and is great for large wedding parties and other similar events.
Another type of charter bus rental is the mini-bus which can seat a fairly good number of passengers but do not typically have bathroom facilities, and is widely rented out in cities.
The next type of our charter bus rental is the luxury tour bus, a step above the regular tour bus with features like kitchen sink, cooking and bathing facilities, bunking areas, and more, since this is designed for extended trips and travels.

Places: World's First Solar Powered Town?
Last fall, we added a 40kW solar installation on our roof, with the idea that we could power all the computers, monitors and printers in our building with renewable energy. So it's with considerable interest- and appreciation- that we read about a town in England that has set itself the goal of becoming the world's first solar powered town. Wadebridge, a town of 10,000 people North Cornwall, aims to meet at least one-third of its energy needs by solar energy by generating 1 MW of solar power by 2012 and 7 MW by 2015. It has formed a Renewable Energy co-operative that will provide free solar panels to any member to install on his roof or property. The electricity produced from these panels will be used by the member and the "feed-in-tariff" that the electricity company pays will go to the Co-operative for recovery of the initial costs.

NBC pulls 'Do No Harm' after two airings
Around The Web
Join The Discussion: Log In With
By: Gripper02.08.2013 @ 11:43 PM
I'm saddened and ….what's the word I'm looking for….OUTRAGED!
By: Paul F02.08.2013 @ 11:46 PM
So, are NBC going to move up the premiere of Hannibal and try it in that slot, or will they want to wait and promote that properly?
By: dan02.08.2013 @ 11:52 PM
Paul- Hard to know. You'd *think* NBC would view "Hannibal" as a potentially valuable property and not want to give it this Slot of Death. You'd also think NBC wouldn't be able to launch "Hannibal" without a major promotional campaign and that there'd be no way to generate that sort of campaign in two weeks (or even a month). You'd think NBC would want to at least be able to promote "Hannibal" on "The Voice," since it's the only show the network has that anybody watches in big enough numbers to be used as a platform. And since "The Voice" isn't back until March 25, you'd think that "Hannibal" couldn't possibly premiere any earlier than… I dunno… Third week of April?
But that's all common sense. So we'll see what NBC actually does…
By: smokeyjoey802.09.2013 @ 12:07 AM
Hannibal is a Bryan Fuller show so I fully expect NBC to do little to no advertising for it and place it in the Thursdays at 10 PM timeslot by March so they can cancel it in April and blame it on all the people that missed its one radio advertisement that aired at 4 A.M. and thus missed the show.
By: Joyeful02.09.2013 @ 1:10 AM
@SmokeyJoey – Hilarious! And sad because it's probably true.
By: evolution108502.08.2013 @ 11:57 PM
What's the witty thing for the 7 people who watched this show to send to NBC execs to try and save it? Watches that all say 825? Copies of Dr. Jekyl and Mr Hyde to read to make a better "modernizing" of that story?
By: dan02.09.2013 @ 12:44 AM
Evolution1085 – Monkeys. Stuffed, or otherwise…
By: Ernest02.09.2013 @ 1:16 AM
What they ought to cancel is the contract of whomever greenlighted this show! Seriously.
By: cabbby02.09.2013 @ 2:41 AM
I can't believe "Do No Harm" was cancelled after only 2 episodes, when other programs survive multiple seasons, like "Suburgatory" and the "Housewives" franchise and "How I met your Mother" which in my opinions should never have made it past the first season. Lots of other shows start off very slowly, like "Lost" was only supposed to be a short mid season replacement and even "Big Bang Theory" was never expectedt to be popular, and took awhile to attract an audience. Oh well….just my opinion.
By: Dexx02.09.2013 @ 4:04 AM
There is a huge difference between a show starting out slowly and starting out horribly. Shows that take awhile to attract an audience start out with decent enough ratings to merit the time given to help them gain that audience. Scandal is a recent example. Historically bad ratings do not suggest that giving a show, in this case Do No Harm extra time would be worthwhile. If the show can't even get the small number of people who watched live on week one to be willing to do the same the second week, what makes you think that the show would miraculously gain the millions of viewers necessary to give it a fighting chance?
By: mmcb10502.09.2013 @ 4:10 AM
Lost was an enormous hit when it first started and Big Bang theory had really great ratings too, so there goes those examples. Plus It's already been pointed out in the article that these ratings weren't simply bad they were the worst…ever.
By: Balaji K02.09.2013 @ 6:23 AM
1600 Penn looks pretty much dead too. NBC should move "The New Normal" to Thursday 9:30PM and "Smash" to Thursday 10PM.
When "The Voice" returns, they could premiere "Save Me" at 9:30PM on Tuesday and "Hannibal" at 10PM on Tuesday.
By: John02.09.2013 @ 6:38 PM
That wouldn't be doing either show a favor, as Thursday 9:30/10pm on NBC have themselves become poisoned slots.
By: Balaji K02.10.2013 @ 3:00 AM
Yes but "The New Normal" and "Smash" aren't doing great on Tuesdays. It's not about doing those 2 shows any favor. It's about giving the best possible leads to "Hannibal" and "Save Me."
By: Beth02.09.2013 @ 7:53 AM
Episodes still in my queue to be watched, good to know that I can delete and not waste the time.
By: Registration Blows02.09.2013 @ 11:08 PM
I don't get it. I mean, NBC advertised it with giant obnoxious disruptions at the bottom of the screen during its other shows. How could no one watch??
By: nyob02.10.2013 @ 7:20 AM
omg that show was sooo bad worse then watchin barney over an over for two days..
By: thavaro02.23.2013 @ 4:37 AM
it wasn't bad. they should have put more into the premiere. honestly its a lot better then some other shows that get big ratings. so they should have at least let the half season play out to see if it could get any better
By: Bob02.10.2013 @ 5:56 PM
How do the networks expect to build an audience by yanking a show after two episodes?? If you greenlight a show then give it time…NBC Executives = Morons
By: netter02.12.2013 @ 2:59 PM
With NBC airing new shows,theres no use to watching them, because you will never see them after the very few episodes and after that you can just say good bye forever
By: netter02.12.2013 @ 3:03 PM
With NBC airing shows, they will not last after the few episodes, so you can just say good bye forever to them, because you will never see them no more. If you do see they last more than a month it is a true miracle it made it this far.
By: Jan02.15.2013 @ 10:14 PM
I hate u NBC. What have u done u should have kept it until the end of the season at least !!!!!
By: Ashley02.16.2013 @ 3:32 AM
Put it back on!!! It was a beginning of an addiction!
By: Kirk Carlson02.17.2013 @ 1:48 AM
I want a refund. The network made a commitment to air the show and the terms of the contract was in my mind one season. I accepted that contract by watching the show. I paid for the show by watching commercials I didn't want to see and pay my cable bill. This is why the major networks are going to die and people are going to just watch shows online. So cut the cord and watch shows online only.
By: Jregal02.22.2013 @ 2:17 AM
Seriously I cannot believe they canceled the show. Do they realize that so many people are in seasonal sports that have been in tournaments for the last several weeks. I know I was craving this show! He had a little Christian Grey in him- I'm telling i this would have been hot- if they only let it run for a minute:(
By: Amber02.22.2013 @ 4:51 AM
I really enjoyed watching Do No Harm! I'm really pissed off at NBC. They should at least finishing airing the rest of the episodes on Saturday nights or something. I want to know what happens!
By: Amber02.22.2013 @ 4:54 AM
I really enjoyed watching Do No Harm! I'm extremely pissed off at NBC. They should at least finish airing the rest of the episodes. They air so many stupid shows like Guys With Kids, but when they finally have a good show, they cancel it. Curse you, NBC!!!
By: thavaro02.23.2013 @ 4:32 AM
exactly. I want to see the remaining episodes. I do disagree that guys with kids is stupid. they should have put more into the premiere too hook more people
By: Michelle02.23.2013 @ 6:18 PM
I liked that show and am angry that they pulled it after only two episodes. I'm about done with the networks. I think I'm going to start watching series on USA and FX, they at least give shows a fighting chance. I'm so tired of liking a show on NBC, CBS and then getting cancelled with no notice. It sucks.
By: andrew02.26.2013 @ 4:49 AM
This was a awesome show. Loved it and wanted more
By: andrew02.26.2013 @ 4:49 AM
Upset cause that show was awesome..

Ross Benjamin runs down today's pitching matchups in hopes of finding a few games that offer distinct advantages to sports bettors. Which two games has he decided to back with his MLB picks tonight?
Milwaukee Brewers (Lohse) vs. Washington Nationals (Strasburg) 7:05 PM ET
The Brewers starter Kyle Lohse is 8-3 versus the MLB odds on the road this season with a respectable 3.99 ERA, and only 3 of those 11-outings stayed under the total. Lohse didn't walk a batter in his last start, and when that occurs this season all 7 of his outings have gone over the total, with an average of 11.2 runs per game being scored. The Brewers right-hander has been very good in his last 3-starts versus the Nationals in posting a sparkling 1.80 ERA in the process.
The Nationals starter Stephen Strasburg enters tonight in very good form off his last 3-starts posting a 2.21 ERA, a 0.93 WHIP, and an almost 9:1 strikeout to walk ratio. Strasburg has seen 11 of his 13-starts at night this season go over the total. In his one start versus the Brewers this year (6/25/14) he allowed 7 earned runs and 8-hits during 4 2/3 innings of work.
MLB Betting Advantage: I like the probability of at least one of these starters to be shaky this evening. For that reason alone we are adding the 'over' to our MLB picks in what should be a low total.
[/]{"component":"oddswidget", "eventId":286420, "sportsbooksIds":[43], "LineTypeId":3, "PeriodTypeId":1}[/]
Seattle Mariners (Iwakuma) vs. Los Angeles Angels (Weaver) 10:05 PM ET
The Mariners starter Hisashi Iwakuma has displayed superb form over his last 3-starts posting an excellent 1.25 ERA, a 0.74 WHIP, and struck out 25 while walking none. Iwakuma has gone a perfect 5-0 against the money line on the road this season with a stellar 3.31 ERA and 1.13 WHIP. The Mariners right-handed hurler has dominated the Angels going 6-0 against the money line in his career while posting an outstanding 1.60 ERA.
The Angels starter Jered Weaver has been unbeaten against the money line in his last 5-starts. However, he's seen his last 2-starts both go over the total while posting a lofty 1.54 WHIP in the process. The Angels ace has gone 7-4 versus the money line at home this season with a very good 2.67 ERA.
MLB Betting Advantage: Small lean here to Hisashi Iwakuma over Jered Weaver for tonight's sports picks.
