Take an hour a day for yourself
It's always good to push the world aside and take the time
to concentrate on yourself, especially when things get busy towards the end of
the school year. Spend your "you" time painting your nails, giving yourself a
facial, blogging, scrapbooking, having a bubble bath or doing anything that
makes you feel great.
Soak up the sun
Bring your latest page-turner or even a pile of homework
outside. Add a blanket, a snack and a smidge of SPF, and your good to go.
Bonus? The Vitamin D your bod produces when you're in the great outdoors can
lead to a way better mood.
Lend a hand
Helping out more around the house will give you a satisfying
feeling of accomplishment and will also strengthen your relationship with your
parents. They will be really appreciative of your efforts to help out. You
could fold clothes or weed the yard together. Plus, it's a great opportunity to
bond and chat about what's been going on in each of your lives.
Give back
When you clean out your closet this spring, look up a local
charity to donate all of your old clothes to. Helping others is a great way to
help yourself. Reflecting on the happiness you could be bringing to those less
fortunate than you is a great mood booster.
Make an effort
One of the most effective ways to feel really great about
yourself is to say something you love about yourself every morning when you
look in the mirror. Another great way to brighten you life up is to reflect
each night on everything that you enjoyed about that day. Even if you had a
crumby day appreciate some of the smaller details, like using a cute pencil or
seeing a cool shaped cloud.

The NBA has fined the Houston Rockets $150,000 for "team personnel" speaking publicly about free agent center Dwight Howard during the restricted, nine-day moratorium, according to ESPN's Marc Stein.
That means no public comments until players can officially sign on July 10. Both general manager Daryl Morey and coach Kevin McHale have been quoted in stories since the agreement with Howard was reached.
ESPN quoted McHale discussing his expectations of Howard playing for the Rockets. CSN Houston did an interview with Morey as July 10 approached.
Howard came to an agreement with the Rockets to sign a four-year, $88 million contract July 5 after meeting with the Dallas Mavericks, Golden State Warriors, Atlanta Hawks and his former team, the Los Angeles Lakers. Teams and players officially could not speak with one another about free agency until the beginning of July.
The league has been known to take public comments about other teams' players quite seriously. This is the second time Howard has been the cause for such a fine.
In June, the NBA fined the Atlanta Hawks, Rockets and an unnamed third team.
Houston was reportedly fined in June for writing free agent scouting profiles on the team website. The Hawks' case was public because the marketing department sent an email blast to season-tickerholders to promote next season's team -- one that could include Howard and fellow free agent Chris Paul.

Sounds to me like E40 and Too Short might have set the price too high for their performances and Shoreline said "No thanks." ... and NOW the rappers want to blame it on the Shoreline Ampitheater management. HaHaHa ... rap is crap, and that's the truth! It is simply guttural, gradeschool rhyming performed with grunts and bad, bad "muzik" in the background.

E40 Too Short?? Who cares. They bring nothing to the table......rap is crap is lightweight compared to what I would like to call it, but of course they delete ALL my posts......wait a minute....maybe it was the MV Voice that kept E40 and Too Short out of the concert. Seems like they don't let ppl voice their own opinion..........I'll come back in 4-5 hours, to see my post......GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fifty years ago this Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its opinion in Gideon v. Wainwright, a seminal case that brought lasting and positive change to the American criminal justice system.
Clarence Earl Gideon was arrested in Florida in June 1961, and charged with breaking into a pool hall to commit petty larceny. Gideon proclaimed his innocence and, being without the means to hire an attorney, asked the trial court to appoint one to represent him. That request was denied and Gideon was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison.
In a handwritten petition to the U.S. Supreme Court, Gideon argued that his conviction was invalid because he was not assisted by an attorney. The Supreme Court agreed, and in its opinion, issued March 18, 1963, ruled that the assistance of counsel was a fundamental right, and that indigent defendants in all states had the right to the appointment of counsel. Upon a retrial of his case, Clarence Gideon, assisted by a court-appointed attorney, was acquitted and released.
Today we take for granted that those accused of crimes are guaranteed the assistance of counsel, but this was not always the case. Those accused of crimes in England and the former colonies did not have a right to the appointment of defense counsel. The Sixth Amendment to the Constitution guaranteed defendants the right to the assistance of counsel, but did not require the appointment of counsel for those who could not afford it.
Our adversarial criminal justice system is founded on the notion that the truth-seeking function of criminal trials is facilitated when each side presents its best case before an impartial judge and jury. The ability to effectively present a case, however, can be fatally compromised without the assistance of counsel.
In Gideon, the Supreme Court observed that "in our adversary system of criminal justice, any person hauled into court, who is too poor to hire a lawyer, cannot be assured a fair trial unless counsel is provided for him." While far from perfect, the American justice system today is the envy of much of the world, largely because of its reputation for procedural fairness. That reputation is due in no small part to the right to appointed counsel in criminal cases established in the Gideon case.
The right to appointed counsel is more important now than it was 50 years ago. Far more defendants are being prosecuted than in the 1960s, the laws are more complex, and the nature of the evidence in criminal cases is more technical. But current budget challenges at both the state and federal level are squeezing the public defender agencies that carry out the mandate of Gideon.
Public defender agencies in California have been facing severe budget cuts, layoffs and furloughs in recent years. Now the sequester across-the-board federal budget cuts that took effect this month is having a profound impact on those who represent defendants in federal criminal cases. In the Eastern District of California a district that stretches from the Los Angeles County line to the Oregon border and is home to 7.5 million people indigent defendants are represented by the Office of the Federal Public Defender and a panel of private attorneys who accept appointment to federal cases. Already lean budgets for those services are being cut further. Attorneys and staff in the Federal Defender's Office are being furloughed in a last-ditch effort to avoid cutting funds necessary for defense experts, investigations and interpreters.
Ensuring that defendants in criminal cases receive effective representation is not just a concern of the defense bar. All participants in the criminal justice system, and those who care about it, seek to avoid miscarriages of justice of the sort that are more likely in cases where defendants have not had adequate access to quality defense counsel. As a federal prosecutor and a federal defender, we share an appreciation for the importance of access to effective defense counsel. The role of the prosecutor, after all, is not to win cases, but to do justice. Even in cases where defendants are rightly convicted, claims of ineffective assistance of counsel can lead to convictions being reversed, increasing costs and decreasing the efficiency of the system.
The U.S. Department of Justice is taking steps to ensure that the rights established in Gideon are real and effective. Through its Access to Justice Initiative, it is working to promote increased representation of indigent defendants. The department has made grants available to strengthen indigent defense programs, to fund litigation of certain post-conviction innocence claims and to provide loan repayment assistance to public defenders. The research arm of the department is funding projects that examine issues arising from the representation of juveniles and those with mental health disorders.
More needs to be done. Effective indigent defense is not a luxury; it is critical to the success of our justice system. On the 50th anniversary of Gideon, we should reaffirm the notion that a fair criminal justice system requires effective representation for all defendants, and urge our representatives and policymakers to protect the fundamental right to counsel that the Supreme Court so loudly proclaimed five decades ago.
Benjamin B. Wagner is the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of California. Linda Harter is the chief assistant federal defender for the Eastern District of California.

Wolves star Morley backs Red Nose Day

Learn how to make this easy pillowcase dress. It looks adorable with any fabrics.
Have you been using the Fiskars seasonal punches? I have to confess that I am more of a sewer than I am papercrafter, but when I see something as cute as these punches, I know that come what may, I need to find a way to use them. I found the Perfect Pair punch completely irresistible, so I decided to use it to decorate a set of handmade linen dish towels and napkins. These would make a lovely gift for someone, but plan on making a second set, because I'm sure you'll be wanting to keep some for yourself!
I decided to use linen to make these dishtowels. It is a favorite fabric of mine and is super absorbent, which makes it perfect for kitchen linens.
First, cut the fabric to size. My dish towels measure 16" x 25" and my napkins are 16" x 16". I find it best to use my rotary cutter to cut linen because it has a tendency to shift and stretch. Keeping the linen flat on the cutting mat and holding it down with a ruler as you cut, minimizes movement and you can cut more accurately.
Next, I took a piece of freezer paper and cut it to the width of my linen pieces. I folded the freezer paper in half with the waxy sides facing, and with a ruler and pencil, marked 2" intervals along the folded edge.
Then I used the Perfect Pair punch to punch the shape at each marked interval. Because you are punching through 2 layers of tough freezer paper, I found it best to give a short, sharp punch through the layers.
After punching all the way along the edge of the freezer paper, I opened up the fold and cut it in half. I ironed one half to one of my pieces of linen using a hot dry iron.
The freezer paper will adhere to the fabric so that you can use a fabric paint to paint inside the shapes.
Once the paint is completely dry, peel off the freezer paper. Depending on the kind of fabric paint you use, you may have to heat set your design.
I prefer to hem my dishtowels and napkins in the final step, after painting the fabric, though you can do it first if you prefer. On the back of my dishtowels I sewed a piece of tape or ribbon into one of the corners so that it can be conveniently hung on a hook.
Though I used the Perfect Pair punch for my design, there are many lovely holiday punches to chose from, and by switching color or design, you are sure to find a combination that fits in with your holiday decor.

A man allegedly posing as an ADT worker has been arrested after police said he attempted to break into a Springfield home Sunday night.
"The victim was inside the house when the victim heard someone trying to force in the side door," said Sgt. John Delaney.
Police told CBS that 48-year-old Kenneth Spence tried to break into 165 Ambrose St. around 8:30 p.m. Sunday.
Police said when a person inside the home confronted the suspect, he said he worked for ADT.
"This male had a clipboard in his hand, he had another item that said ADT on it," said Delaney. "He said 'I'm here to check your security system.' We'll they didn't call anybody to come."
The victim became suspicious and told another family member to call police. That's when the suspect fled.
A person inside the home was able to get a license plate number for the car the suspect was driving and around an hour later police arrested Spence who was positively identified by the victim.
Police working the case called ADT who said they had never heard of Spence and that he does not work for the company.
A spokesperson from ADT told CBS 3, "ADT workers are required to show a badge showing that they work for the company. They generally work within normal business hours. Service calls are always pre-arranged and sales calls are usually pre-arranged as well."
The spokesperson went on to say that you should always request to see a badge if someone from ADT is knocking on your door.
The Pine-point neighborhood where this attempted break-in took place has been targeted in recent days. Police said four break-ins were reported in the neighborhood over the weekend.
"We're looking into whether or not this suspect was responsible for the other breaks," said Delaney. "Once this arrest took place we didn't have any other breaks"
Spence is facing charges for attempted breaking and entering at night with the intent to commit a felony.

Clarke MacArthur signs five-year, $23.25 million extension with SenatorsSean Leahy at Puck Daddy15 hrs ago
Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk had a busy Tuesday.
First, Melnyk announced that the franchise has surpassed the $100 million mark in contributions to the Ottawa area since its return to the NHL in 1992. He then took part in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge with Erik Karlsson. To wrap up his afternoon, Melnyk announced on TSN 1200 that Clarke MacArthur had signed a five-year, $23.25 million extension.
"I think [MacArthur's] best year's are still to come, and I think Bryan [Murray] feels the same way, and [Assistant GM] Pierre Dorion as well," said Melnyk. "We all believe that he's going to be a huge contributor to the team. He's a great character guy. He's great in the dressing room. We're really pleased that we've got him locked in for the next six years."

Tim Leiweke on leaving Maple Leafs, Raptors: 'My work here is not done'Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy16 hrs ago
Is Tim Leiweke on his way out of Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment?
Sources told Elliotte Friedman of Hockey Night in Canada that the president of MLSE would be leaving the company, potentially for "a new challenge."
(How it gets more challenging than overseeing one franchise that hasn't won a Stanley Cup since 1967 and another that hasn't made it past the second round of the NBA playoffs, we don't know. But to each his own …)
But Leiweke denied the report in an interview with Michael Grange of Sportsnet, when asked if there's a timeline for his departure:
"No, there is no timeline. I've never said I would be here forever, but my work here is not done. We have to get the NBA All-Star Game done. We have to get the Raptors practice facility done. We have to get all three teams winning."
But to read further, it certainly seems like it's a "I'm here for the time being" type deal:
Charles Wang selling New York Islanders; new owners to take over in 2016Sean Leahy at Puck Daddy18 hrs ago
After owning the New York Islanders since 2000, Charles Wang is ready for the franchise to change hands.
According to Arthur Staple of Newsday, Wang has agreed to sell the team to former Washington Capitals co-owner Jonathan Ledecky and investor Scott Malkin, pending approval of the NHL's Board of Governors. Financial terms have not been released yet.
From the Islanders:
Ledecky formed Lincoln Holdings with Ted Leonsis in 1999 and eventually sold his stake in 2001. Malkin is the founder and chairman of UK-based Value Retail, which is behind a number of luxury retail outlets. The pair will take on minority shares for two seasons before assuming full control of the franchise.
Maple Leafs hiring ExtraSkater.com founder, creating analytics departmentGreg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy18 hrs ago
Ever since it debuted, the hockey stats site ExtraSkater.com has been a mandatory destination for fans seeking a user-friendly, easy-to-understand approach to advanced analytics like corsi ratings.
This season, its founder will bring that insight exclusively to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
According to multiple sources, Darryl Metcalf is one of three advanced stats analysts that are in the process of joining the Leafs to work in newly created positions dedicated to hockey metrics. Cam Charron, a blogger that most recently worked with Yahoo Sports Canada, is among that group, as is Rob Pettapiece, a blogger who worked with Yahoo Sports' Buzzing The Net junior hockey blog.
Queries to Metcalf and the Leafs for comment were not returned.
Did new Tampa Bay Lightning black 3rd jersey leak?Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy19 hrs ago
The Tampa Bay Lightning are getting a third jersey this season to go along with that Maple Leafs-meets-Flash-Gordon jersey that some love and some loathe. Because really, what says "Florida sunshine" better than a dark noir jersey …
Hockey Bay, a blog that covers the Bolts, published an image on Monday that it claims is a third-jersey leak for the Lightning this season, writing:
" 3rd Jersey Leak? Rumor has it the team will reintroduce a black jersey into their repertoire with a new alternate jersey. This is welcome news to fans who criticized the rebrand's lack of black."
Let's say you really, really hate the new jerseys. Then this one might appeal to you. Otherwise, it's a generic, unimpressive template-like sweater that you'd expect to find a club travel team wearing, in our opinion.
But it probably won't be the one the Bolts end up with this season.
Icethetics says this concept was "consigned to the scrap heap" back in 2006, designed as a prototype jersey. Here's the version that showed up on eBay …

Ryan Malone pleads no contest to DUI charges; cocaine charges could be dismissedSean Leahy at Puck Daddy21 hrs ago
Four months after he was arrested for driving under the influence and cocaine possession, Ryan Malone pled no contest to the DUI charges on Tuesday. He agreed to a pre-trial diversion program, which, without issue, would give him a clean record going forward.
After Malone's blood alcohol level was found to be at 0.112, the arresting officer discovered 1.3 grams of cocaine in the former Lightning forward's pocket. He explained he "was 'baffled' because he was wearing the same jeans for three days."
Todd Bertuzzi, Steve Moore avoiding salacious trial with settlement?Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy23 hrs ago
(UPDATE: According to Sportsnet and the Canadian Press, the deal is done. Bertuzzi's lawyer said a settlement has been reached. More to come ...)
Logically, the chances that Steve Moore's civil case against Todd Bertuzzi and the Vancouver Canucks ever made it to trial were slim. According to Bob McKenzie, they're getting slimmer.
The TSN pundit reported late Monday night that Moore and Bertuzzi could be heading off their court showdown, as the sides are "deep into discussions aimed at arriving at a negotiated (out of court) settlement."
This comes weeks before the scheduled Sept. 8 opening of the trial, as Moore is seeking damages after a sucker-punch from Bertuzzi in a March 8, 2004 game between the Canucks and the Colorado Avalanche ended Moore's hockey career. Bertuzzi pled guilty to an assault charge, and his suspension ended up lasting 17 months from the NHL.

Most Disappointing Team: 2006-2007 Carolina Hurricanes
Why? Really? (Yes, the first year was painful. But everyone knew it would be because Karmanos karma.)
I mean...they missed the playoffs. Which, as it turns out, is the norm for Carolina, but for after winning the Cup in 2006, reestablishing hope into the fanbase they worked so hard to win over, the Hurricanes freaking missed the playoffs a year later. Hello disappointment.
Sure, the 2002-2003 season sucked, so soon after they made it to the SC Final (oh hey, dead last in the league). But they didn't win that year so technically they started the next season off with disappointment which they let fester before hitting rock bottom.

---- — DANVERS — For three quarters last night, the Bishop Fenwick girls basketball team struggled to find its game.
But the Crusaders turned on a switch over in the final eight minutes to pull off a come-from-behind 54-48 victory over Stoneham in a Division 3 first round game at St. John's Prep.
Stoneham ended Fenwick's season two years ago the last time they were in the playoffs, and heading into the fourth quarter trailing by 10 points it appeared it might happen again. But the final quarter was all Fenwick, who outscored the Spartans, 20-4.
The 8th seed Crusaders put together a 12-0 run to pull ahead early in the quarter as Gianna Pizzano and Rose Fantozzi each had two baskets during that stretch. Sam Borelli made an old fashioned three-point play, and Fantozzi made a foul shot to put Fenwick ahead, 46-44 with just over five minutes remaining.
"We're a really good team and we pick each other up when we make mistakes," said Fenwick (15-8) coach Adam DeBaggis. "At halftime I told the girls to calm down and enjoy playing in a big game like this. They were all so nervous, which is understandable because only Kate Lipka has tournament experience.
"They never gave up, and good things happen to people that work hard. Our leadership is so good they know how to stay up even when things aren't going their way."
Kate Lipka led Fenwick with 17 points, six steals, seven rebounds and a block.
Stoneham (12-9) regained the lead late in the fourth quarter after Stephanie Bramante (game-high 22 points) made a layup and was fouled. She made the free throw, and teammate Grace Macura also put in one from the line for a 48-46 Spartan lead with 2:30 remaining.
But it was all Fenwick from that point on as Lipka hit two shots in a row, including one of her three treys. Pizzano (6 points) added a foul shot, and freshman Sydney Brennan made a pair of free throws to put the game away.
"We came into this game ready and took over in the fourth quarter," said Lipka, who had struggled early with the long bombs but hit two in the second half to spark her team's comeback. "I just told Amy Pelletier, 'This is our revenge.'"
Pelletier, who starred for Fenwick two years ago and was on hand to cheer her former team on last night, is now a standout at Stonehill. DeBaggis and his team went to see Pelletier when they upset Bentley last weekend.
Bramante had 15 points for the Spartans in the first half, but sat down in foul trouble for long stretches in the second half. Fenwick's Pizzano, freshman Colleen Corcoran and Fantozzi all had four fouls, but DeBaggis took a chance and kept them in the game.
"We rotate Bramante, Olivia Gaughan (6 points), and Britney Fucci (8) equally," said Stoneham coach Sara Mills. "We were getting inside early, but we rushed our shots all game. We didn't settle and play our game.
"Fenwick wanted it more than we did. They went for it offensively, boxed out, and got rebounds. That No. 12 (Fantozzi) and 23 (Pizzano) drove to the hole and were getting layups in that fourth quarter."
Fantozzi had a team high eight rebounds, two blocks, and two steals to go along with her seven points. Kelsey Wilkinson had eight points, and Borelli added five points and six rebounds. Corcoran gave Fenwick a spark with her inside shooting and finished with six points.
The Crusaders will travel to top-seeded Pentucket for a quarterfinal game Saturday at 4 p.m. in West Newbury.

A nice article from the LAT updating former Bruins and current St John's head coach Steve Lavin's recovery from surgery for prostate cancer. Though he is currently on leave until he gets more energy back, his doctors say he is cancer free. In this particular contest, we are all 100% behind Lavin.
Well here's a doozy. Baron Davis popped in during elite recruit Kyle Anderson's official visit at St. John's to tell him what a great coach Steve Lavin is. Yes, the same Baron Davis. Kris Johnson and possibly other ex-Bruins were also involved in the magical weekend "reunion." From Anderson: "Baron talked about Coach Lav, how he helped him get to where he is today." Would that be an overweight, overpaid, lazy cap-killer who's never won anything? I wouldn't normally get worked up about a Bruin helping out his former coach, even if it is against UCLA, but this is so disingenuous of Baron given what he's said about that same coach in public not too long ago.

Polar Bear Club Interview
05/16/10 at
Keagan Ilvonen
Recently you played Bamboozle, how was that?
It was awesome, it was last weekend and we played at like 2:30ish I think. It was really perfect because it was such a hot day and if we had played at 7 or 6, I dont think anyone would have watched us because they would have been so tired and hot. So I like that middle slot on bigger festivals like that. A band like us, we play a festival like that to get peoples attention. There are people there to see us for sure but most people are there to just check us out. We are there for exposure, I mean there are a core kids who are like "yeah I know Polar Bear Club", but mainly its for exposure. So that middle slot, people arent too tired and theyre patient and open minded and not too grumpy, thats perfect for us.
I noticed on your myspace that you have an upcoming tour with Moving Mountains, how does that feel for you to be on tour with a band that makes drastically different music than you? And how do the fans react to it?
You know I think weve done it so much now that theyre use to it. The only tour that we ever did that made a lot of sense was when we toured Europe with Title Fight and Shook Ones. I mean the bands are still different, but it makes the most sense. Theyre still in the same ballpark. Normally we play with way different ballparks, like Have Heart and The Gaslight Anthem and everywhere in between. But that tour with Moving Mountains is going to be cool. Its with Living with Lions and Lemuria and its different enough but similar enough too so its not the wildest.
Usually your fans have a broader sense of music then most hardcore kids...
And we like to promote that too. I think its interesting to see how different bands are similar, then to see all the same bands if that makes any sense. What are the similarities between us and Trapped Under Ice, Four Year Strong and Every Time I Die? Are there any? And how do they fit together? How do you feel going into one into another and another.
Yeah its nice to get a change of scenery at a show, like when you go to the typical pop punk show and thats all you get.
Yeah I dont want to see a show where its all the same thing. Its like highlighting everything on a page, because then youve highlighted nothing.
Youre also playing Warped Tour coming up, are you excited for that?
Yeah, thats sort of that point of that Moving Mountains tour. I think its going to be awesome but we have to get to San Diego where Warped Tour starts. Were all really excited about it though. Were only doing the first month and everyone has been telling us about all this stuff we need to get ready for and all these horror stories and whatnot. But I think were mentally ready for it so it wont be as bad as bands going into it blind and having to experience how hard it is and the schedule. Also there are so many friends on it that even if the shows suck were still going to be having fun.
Yeah, its definitely hard work being out in the sun all day
Yeah, its going to be worth it but I cant imagine it not being worth it. Youre outside in the nice weather most days and its just going to be fun getting to hang out with awesome people all day.
Like you said earlier before the interview, you have been on tour for awhile, how has that effected you? I know you guys have had a non-stop tour schedule up until recently.
Yeah these past two months that weve had one offs has really only been the off time in awhile. We did Australia then right into Europe and then right into The U.S. about a month each. Its hard, at times but were adjusted to this rollercoaster as cliché as that sounds. But you can definitely have your days where youre like Get me the fuck home! But then when youre at home youre like Get me the fuck on tour! So you never really win. The best time to be on tour are the first couple days and the best time to be home are the first couple days. If there is too much of either youre jonsing for the other.
Who have you gotten closest with being on tour? Being with such mixed bands like The Gaslight Anthem and Moving Mountains, which bands have you gotten really close with or consider good friends? Or who do you like to tour with?
When we think of really close band friends we think of Broadway Calls and now even Four Year Strong. They are just some of our best friends in the whole world, oh!, and Set Your Goals and Fireworks. But seriously they are some of our best friends in the world. We get along with everybody, if we do one tour with them we pretty much consider them our best friends. If we have toured with them twice, theyre like brothers. I think its safe to say that if weve toured with them we are pretty good friends. We have never toured with a band where we didnt mesh.
The living Saints video just came out and lots of people really liked it for being different. How was shooting that and how did that all come about?
It was harder for me then for the other guys because its mainly me. I think we shot three days total. The first day was me and the band and then I went back for two more days by myself. The guy that directed it, Tom Colella is just an old friend of our drummer Emmett. They actually went to high school together. Weve stayed with him so many times just going through New York City. We knew he did film stuff and he really wanted to get his name out there. So he was like you guys are sorta getting some steam behind you you know, Ive been thinking about this video, it would be sweet if we could do it together and just help out each other. So he fronted a lot of the money himself and we just blasted it out and honestly I like the video. I love it but with the way that people are I thought a lot more people would of hated it then did you know? Because thats the way that the internet works. There are a lot of haters out there especially for Polar Bear Club.
Yeah like the kids on AP.net, there are definitely a lot of haters.
Exactly AP, Punknews and Bridge 9, all that stuff and those kids kinda didnt say anything. I was blown away. I normally dont pay attention to that stuff, but when the video came out I wanna see what everyone has to say about this, even the kids who are going to fucking hate it. But those kids were surprisingly quiet, I mean of course there were some here and there but nowhere what I thought there would be.
Yeah, I mean I think most kids on AP generally liked it and thought it was something new.
Yeah, I was really surprised by that, I believe that. I think its cool and awesome, but I didnt expect as many people to think the way as they did.
I didnt expect it to turn out the way it did at all. When I saw it I was like whoa how much money did they drop on this because there are some pretty crazy effects that you guys used in that.
There are, and the dude definitely dropped a lot of money and he also pulled some favors too. But he was like you know, Im losing my ass on this video but I know if we do it 100% its going to help me and its going to help you guys as well. We were stoked on it and we were glad that we could do a video that was different.
It definitely stands out from all the other videos out there.
You know most band videos at our level you mostly get the same thing, and some are really good and some are so-so. But some bands are either trying to be funny or something
Like Four Year Strong videos.
Yeah, but those are fun, I like those.
Yeah me too but thats how they play it off, theyre fun guys so they can get away doing something like that. Like if you guys tried to do a funny video people would be like "Why are these kids doing this?"
(haha) Yeah, Im just proud of it. Im glad we got to do something different and people actually responded to it.
You have released two full lengths in the past two years, is there going to be another this year or do you plan on just touring for now and releasing something next year?
I dont think that it will be out in 2010. Definitely not, because I think we have losely been talking that we want to get into the studio in the winter.
Yeah, just ride out
Chasing Hamburg
for now?
Not even just Chasing Hamburg, I mean
Sometimes Things Just Disappear
had been out for awhile but it didnt really get a good push until
It was what like 6 months before
Chasing Hamburg
came out
Yeah, so I think we have a little bit more of a leg to stand on with the combination of the both. Were going to try ride that out as much as we can, tour our asses off and maybe build up some anticipation for the next one and hope to record in the winter and hopefully have a spring 2011 release maybe. But as soon as we start working on it thats probably all going to change, and be like no we need to do it later or earlier, but thats the general outline for now.
At least you have the freedom to do that with Bridge 9, they are pretty loose with that.
Yeah they are, they arent really egging us on too much to get going on the next one. We have been writing a little bit here and there but were going to buckle down in the late summer and in September and do a lot of serious, serious writing and hope to be in the studio this winter.
Speaking of releases, what releases have you been listening to lately or what are you looking forward to? I know The Gaslight Anthem leaked about what, three weeks ago, and its really good.
Yeah, I have been listening to that a lot, it is really good. Its that perfect difference. Its just different enough, those are the songs I like the most. The ones that are a bit more different than
The 59 Sound
, like the second song, I cant remember what its called.
Then theres like "The Diamond Church Street Choir" which kind of has that poppy sound to it.
Yeah, and "Old Haunts", I like that song a lot. So that and the new Against Me! I really like. I just got the new Cancer Bats album and thats just so awesome. Liams voice on that album sounds incredible, its like unstoppable. The guitar player of Shook Ones has a band called Black Breathe that just released a new album. I havent heard the new one but the old one is called
Razor to Oblivion
and its kind of like fast dirty metal hardcore, its good. Balance and Composure and Tigers Jaw, oh and the new Casualties is really, really good. Oh and Menzingers too. Theres good releases coming out now and have come out recently.
It just sucks that half of those leaked months early like Gaslight doesnt come out until June.
Yeah same with Against Me! Too yeah.
Have you heard of PlayMPE? Its a music site that labels are using now to stream their music.
Yeah, I think thats what Bridge 9 is using.
There was a kid that hacked into it and released a bunch of stuff, so thats where a lot of this came from.
Thats such bullshit, its such a weird thing though. Its such a grey area almost, because its downloading and leaks. People ask a lot in interviews, What do you think about illegal downloading? Well I would be a hypocrite if I said I was against it. You know, but Im also in a band.
Yeah, the illegal downloads hurt you but at the same time...
Yeah, at the same time Major labels spent a lot of years hurting people with their CD prices and there arent really that many indie record stores anymore. I think something needs to change and we need to figure out a way to make music buyable again, but I dont foresee that happening, you know?
Yeah, Record Store Day showed that you can make a change, this year had huge sales and a big increase from last year too.
Theres definitely a core, thats why early leaks dont really bother me because the way it is now. If someones going to buy your album, they are going to buy it. They know they are going to buy it because its a principle now. Its not like the only way to get music, so if people by principle are going to buy your album, they are going to buy it regardless. So anyone who is going to illegally download it would do it on the release date and now they are just doing it months earlier, which probably works out better for your band with the way the climate is now.
Yeah, so they can hear it early and if they like it they can go buy it and if they dont, they werent going to buy it in the first place.
Yeah, but you know it sucks in the term for smaller record labels and people who put all these plans into marketing and press but I dont see it stopping any time soon.
Have you ever considered recording your cover of "American Hearts" or an EP/LP of covers?
No I dont think we have ever talked about that, although we just saw Piebald at Bamboozle.
How was that by the way?
I actually didnt get to see them but the other guys did. And said it was amazing. I had to leave early but they said it was awesome and everyone was freaking out. It seems like most of the bands we cover are getting back together like The Get Up Kids and Piebald (haha). Cover albums are cool but I personally dont buy them.
Yeah, just keep it to the live show
Yeah, its sort of like a special thing thats like youre here now youre in this moment, heres this little thing that will never be anywhere else but here tonight .and the show tomorrow night but youre not going to be there (hahaha). No, we never really put much thought into doing a cover album. I think we would participate in a tribute compilation or something like that, but those are kind of different.
Definitely not the Punk Goes Series, those are terrible
Yeah definitely, I mean if they were like listen
Well throw this at you...
(hahaha) Yeah, you know Id have to hear them out for sure. And if they were like we want you to do this song and it was a really good song, wed think about it. But generally we steer clear of that type of thing.
I mean A Loss For Words is going to release their Mo-Town album, have you heard that yet?
Ive heard the songs that are online, Maddi is here actually I was talking to him for a bit, He is such a good singer, his voice is awesome. Which is why I back them doing that because he they can back that up really well and actually pull it off, yeah good band for sure.
Being one of the bigger bands out of Rochester, what are your thoughts on the music scene there?
You know, Im a little bit disconnected from it which is sad to say which is what I grew up doing. But its changed for sure, because when I started going to hardcore shows I was maybe 16. My hardcore years were probably 16-22 in Rochester and we have a big technology school there, Rochester Institute of Technology. And a lot of kids from bigger cities would come there because it was a good school and it was cheaper than their school in their hometown of Boston or New York. So that was a big carrier of bands of music, that was a huge part of the scene, was the kids at RIT. The kids that came from Boston and New York that were like lets check out this band and then it snowballed and then that band would come to Rochester. I dont know if its so much like that any more, I mean there are definitely good bands from Rochester right now, Such Gold, Like Wolves
Sakes Alive?
Sakes Alive for sure and some others up and coming that havent put anything out yet but you will hear of soon. Syracuse as well, we sort of think of the scenes as one because we all were intermingled and went to each others shows and whatnot. Its definitely different, theres not as many shows there I dont think but I think its coming back in a way, its just sad that Im gone all the time so Im not really a part of that resurgence. I dont even live in Rochester anymore, I live outside New York City. But its all peaks and troughs, you know? It was up, up, up for awhile and it was down for awhile and soon it will be up, up, up again and then it will go back down. Its weird to see how scenes change, Syracuse was a way different scene a couple years ago. It was violent and famous for that. But now its super positive and fun, with bands like Another Breathe and Forfeit, awesome, awesome bands. Sorry Im rambling but I think about this a lot.
No worries, keep going
When youre younger and going to shows you dont think about the temporariness of it. You dont think that it wont be there and thats a part of being young, you think its forever.
Like The Receiving End of Sirens
Yeah (haha) and then when it starts changing and maybe even dying out to some people it seems strange. But were not going to stop doing Polar Bear Club. I dont know if that made sense or not (haha) but were not going to stop playing Rochester and Syracuse.
Do you think that you have influenced bands like Such Gold, Sakes Alive and Like Wolves out of Rochester? And do you think you have helped gain recognition for them because you guys are kind of like the bigger dogs out of Rochester?
I dont know, its hard for me to say. If you ask them they might say something different. I can say that I would hope that they would view or name, not that were a huge big success band but, were a bit of a bigger band out of Rochester. I would hope that they would view that in a positive light and not hate on that. And I dont think those bands that you named do at all because I know those guys. Whether or not we influenced them directly or what they think of it I cant say but I hope they view it as a good thing.
What made you guys want to do Polar Bear Club full time?
I think it was combination of things, we kind of have a big age range in our band. Im 25, our drummer is 30 and our bass player is 22 and everyone else is kind of in between. So I think it was that, Were getting older and the window was sort of there to go full time. We sort of had this now or never mentality about it. That was definitely a part of it you know, its here now if we dont do it well regret it lets just do it. And I think also, we had reached everything we could do at a part time level. Thats something that people in bands not a lot of people talk about or are comfortable is their ambitions. Thats sort of a fopaux in talking about music. I have ambitions to play in front of a lot people, I think theres nothing wrong about that. But a lot of people have that idea about keep it punk, keep it small. So bands dont really talk about it. But that ambition thing was there for sure. We had capped at a weekend show level, and we were like lets see where we can go and how far we can go as a full time band. So curiosity and ambition, I think were going hand in hand there. Its definitely had its ups and downs for sure. But I dont foresee us stopping any time soon. I think were all still We can go more places with this I hope.
You definitely have a sound that is genre bending, so you have the pop punk kids and the hardcore kids.
We do have a fair amount of crossover which probably does help us out on those weird tours.
Is there anything else we should look forward to or what to expect form the band?
I wish could say what the new songs might sound like but we only have a few parts here and there and one song completed. I noticed on
Chasing Hamburg
I went back and looked back at interviews and stuff I said early on didnt even make sense once the album was out. It all changes.
Its all relative to the time
Yeah, so just keep your ears open.

Polar Bear Club
I'm not really sure what there is to say about Polar Bear Club. They are heavy, catchy, and gritty all at the same time. While most artists that try and pull this off come across as annoying and tiring PBC is the exact opposite. They are a refreshing taste of music that hasn't been around since Hot Water Music called it quits.
Chasing Hamburg
follows in the footsteps of their debut album and goes off on a few insane tangents as well. I have only got to spin the album a few times but it's definitely worth your time. Don't look past this band.

DURHAM — Tracey Cline started her term in elected office in a packed courtroom.
The veteran prosecutor was sworn in Monday afternoon in a ceremony with religious, sentimental, professional and political tones. She was surrounded by family, friends and justice system colleagues.
Cline replaces David Saacks, who served as the appointed district attorney for the past 16 months after the ouster of Mike Nifong.
Saacks was not eligible to seek the district attorney's job in Durham because he is a Wake County resident. He will step into a new role as Cline's chief assistant district attorney.
Cline, a prosecutor in Durham for nearly 15 years and now the county's first African-American female district attorney, talked about the work ahead in a county with a backlog of cases and a juvenile crime problem.
"I'm ready for the challenge," she said.
Nifong, who was stripped of his law license for prosecutorial misconduct in the Duke lacrosse case, attended the ceremony at Cline's request. He stood in the back of the courtroom and at the end hugged and shook hands with many of his former colleagues.

Report: California budget constraints cause San Diego prison populations to balloon
Local inmate population is 113 percent of capacity
SAN DIEGO - The jail population has swelled in San Diego County since prison realignment was instituted statewide three years ago, adding to the strain of area law enforcement, according to a study released Friday by the San Diego Association of Governments.
While the number of annual bookings into local detention centers has dropped in recent years, the average daily inmate population ballooned from 102 percent of overall jail capacity in 2011 to 113 percent in 2012, according to the study.
The most overcrowded was the women's jail in Santee, which was at 174 percent of capacity. An expanded facility is under construction adjacent to the current facility.
Only the San Diego Central Jail and Vista Detention Facility—out of the county's seven jailhouses—were under capacity in 2012.
The realignment was brought about by state budget constraints and federal court orders to reduce overcrowding in California's prisons. It required some convicts who would ordinarily be sentenced to state prison to instead serve local time, and for local probation authorities to supervise former inmates who have served their time.
Local law enforcement officials attribute the policy to a crime rate increase.
"Public safety realignment has put an enormous strain on local law enforcement, in particular the Sheriff' Department and the county Probation Department," said Cynthia Burke, SANDAG's director of criminal justice research.
The percentage of jailhouse inmates who would have been in state prison under the old system, but are serving local time now, has risen from 11 percent in 2011 to 35 percent last year, according to Burke.
She also said the portion of maximum-security prisoners, those who have committed assaults or been deemed to be either a behavioral or escape risk, increased from 11 percent in 2008 to 17 percent in 2012.
Burke lauded area law enforcement for "devising innovative programs and strategies" that help realigned offenders reenter society.

Since 2000, 12 new gTLDs have launched; beginning in 2013, hundreds of new gTLDs will enter the domain name space. Past top-level domain launches, which have historically been evaluated by the number of domain names registered, have taught us that achieving success poses a challenge: today, there are 22 generic top-level domains, but none launched in the past decade has achieved even one-tenth of .COM's more than 100 million registered domains.
But for the first time in this round of gTLD expansion, success will not be measured solely by the number of registered domain names. For brand owners, success will result from integrating new gTLDs – both those that they applied for and others – into their digital strategies, thereby broadening their reach with online consumers, enhancing their brands and driving more traffic to their sites. New gTLDs present a wealth of opportunities, but there will also be challenges.
FairWinds' Top Level Solutions bring together the best minds and most experienced experts to develop and execute on the most effective strategies for our clients to succeed in the new gTLD space. We combine our years of industry leadership with the talent and skill of our partners to custom-tailor the best strategy for each individual client. Our Top Level Solutions are designed to fully integrate our clients' new gTLD goals with their existing domain name programs and digital strategies, regardless of whether they applied for new gTLDs, to optimize their online presence in the newly expanded domain name space.
FairWinds helps clients successfully navigate the various and complex procedures of the new gTLD evaluation process in order to place clients in the best position to extract value from their gTLD investment once they launch their gTLDs.
FairWinds provides clients with the support, expertise, and tools to develop effective new gTLD strategies that can successfully transition clients from gTLD evaluation to the launch of their new gTLD assets.
An integral part of developing clients' strategies to bring their new gTLDs to market, FairWinds provides clients with a comprehensive domain name strategy for both their own new gTLDs as well as other new gTLDs that launch.
FairWinds delivers to clients a naming and domain registration strategy for new gTLDs designed to maximize their ability to reach Internet users while simultaneously protecting their brands and trademarks in the newly expanded space.
FairWinds acts as clients' eyes and ears within the ICANN community and policymaking process to provide critical updates that will impact clients' business and domain name programs.

An animated island, past and present, Corsica "often conquered, never subdued" has been successively Pisan and Genovese and has been French since 1768. It enjoys a special constitutional status. Mountain in the sea, Corsica is also called Island of beauty, not without reason. The diversity of its scenery, and its preservation from the aggressions of development and tourism, makes it one of the pearls of the Mediterranean sea.

FRIENDS of missing backpacker Arvid Stenzel say it'll take a miracle for their "funny and friendly" mate to be found alive following his mysterious disappearance in the early hours on Sunday morning at Lake Canobolas.
Aljoscha Kraemer said Mr Stenzel was one of a group of 11 German travellers who were camping at Lake Canobolas while they picked apples at a nearby orchard.
On Saturday night the group had been celebrating the end of six days of work, knowing Sunday was their only day off.
The group spent time listening to music, talking and laughing while enjoying a few drinks.
Mr Kraemer said a few of them decided to go for a walk early on Sunday morning and at around 2am, as they crossed the footbridge linking both sides of the lake, Mr Stenzel told his friends he felt like going for a swim.
"We all thought it was a joke because it's too cold to swim," Mr Kraemer said.
"This is horrible, we can't do anything ... We will just wait together until something happens"
The group returned to their nearby campsite, however it wasn't until the next morning that they discovered Mr Stenzel was missing.
"I just feel really sad," Mr Kraemer said.
"He's just such a nice guy, he was funny and a sportsman.
"He was the best travel mate."
Mr Kraemer said the friends had pledged to remain at the lake until Mr Stenzel was found.
One of Mr Stenzel's friends, who didn't want to be named, said while he was "very upset" he remained hopeful there'd be a positive outcome.
"This is horrible, we can't do anything," he said.
"He was just a person that everyone liked.
"That night he was just jamming and listening to music."
The group, who had only been in Orange for a week, had planned to pick for another month but are now unsure what the future holds.
"We will just wait together until something happens," Mr Kraemer said.
"I just hope he's somewhere around."

Oceania Exclusive Tour
For those travelers who prefer an added measure of intimacy and flexibility, we are pleased to offer our new Oceania Exclusive tours. With a minimum of 10 guests and a maximum capacity of just 16 guests, each tour benefits from a higher level of personal attention and the added flexibility and agility that come from traveling in a small group.
Oceania Exclusive tours are available for a specially selected number of tours in almost every port we visit, in every corner of the world.
Gain an overview of the various facets of Ibiza on this tour that travels to the southern area of the island and highlights both the trendy and the simplistic, unspoiled beauty of this popular destination.
Leaving the pier, you will head for San Jose, passing Ses Salines, an interesting area consisting of salt pits along the way. The salt industry was one of the first on the island and depending on the season, Ses Salines is also a great place for bird watching, especially Flamingos. From here, you will next pass by Sa Caleta, an area that offers up wonderful panoramic views.
The town of San Jose is located high in the hills and is the largest municipality on the island. Far from the hustle and bustle of Ibiza's resort areas, the town embraces a more tranquil ambience and offers visitors a peaceful respite. Still, the town has wonderful eateries, shops and a memorable 14th century Parish church. There will be free time here to explore on your own or simply find a shady spot to sit and relax, appreciating the un-hurried charm of this village.
Your tour next travels to San Antonio, once a small fishing village, today it is a vibrant resort area with a wealth of hotels, restaurants and clubs. The city is dominated by the beautiful palm-lined promenade which skirts the harbor, constantly busy with yachts, speedboats and ferryboats. The harbor, called Portus Magnus by the Romans, is one of the most beautiful and famous natural harbors in Europe. Your time in San Antonio is at your leisure and you will no doubt want to stroll around the Paseo of San Antonio, with its cascading water fountains or perhaps relax and enjoy a glass of the local Sangria.
After approximately 1-hour in San Antonio, it's time to re-board your coach and travel back to the pier where your tour concludes.
Please note: Walking on this tour is mainly at the guests' discretion during free time. There are some cobblestone and uneven surfaces to negotiate in the towns. The tour is available to wheelchair guests who have a collapsible wheelchair, are able to make their own way on and off the coach and have a companion to assist them. Those with mobility concerns are cautioned to evaluate their personal level of stamina and ability. Weather appropriate clothing; a hat; sunglasses; sunscreen and flat, comfortable walking shoes are suggested.
