The SCG Test has always been a part of the city's New Year's celebrations. Would it be too much to ask the cricket to match up to the fireworks?

Matches: Australia v India at Sydney
Sydney certainly knows how to ring in the New Year. Beaches in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo reported bigger attendances for New Year's eve fireworks, but it is hard to imagine a more concentrated or more diverse throng than the nearly 1.5 million people - from over a hundred nations, of all religions and races, of all ages and shapes - who poured in to the three-kilometre stretch between Darling Harbour and the Harbour Bridge, to enjoy what must count among the most inclusive and unifying communal celebrations in the world.
The festivities, which began with jets painting messages in the sky and ended with a spectacular cascade of lights from the iconic bridge, are said to have cost A$6.5 million (US$6.64m), which may seem somewhat profligate in recessionary times, but apportion the cost over each smile the display induced and it will hardly look wasteful.
The following day, after lazy and long breakfasts at sidewalk cafés, the young and old of Sydney headed to the smart beaches. Large ferries gorged thousands out onto Manly harbour and every inch of sand on the three-kilometre stretch was taken. Melbourne might be the world's most livable city - it has better public transport, an easily comprehensible layout, cheaper food and lighter traffic, and as Melburnians would gleefully point out, better art, and even a bigger casino - but Sydney is the place to be, never mind the outrageous room rates on NYE.
For India's cricketers, Sydney is the place they'd rather be. They could have hardly waited to get out of Melbourne. They have awful memories of their last five Tests there, and in fact, in his 22-year career Sachin Tendulkar has tasted nothing but defeat there. Two of India's last three matches at the MCG must count as the most bitter, because they squandered strong positions in both to lose in four days. It must be a relief for them to escape to Sydney, where the memories are happier.
Which is an odd thing to say, considering cricket came close to apocalypse when these two teams last met here for a Test. Thankfully, the shame of 2008 now seems like a distant nightmare. Sometimes things need to hit bottom before they get better, and the only good thing to come out of that dark chapter is that everyone who had a part to play remembers it with a mixture of embarrassment, regret and contrition.
Predictably, the players were asked about it, and though you would expect nothing but diplomacy, there was a ring of sincerity too. Michael Hussey and MS Dhoni, who both played in that Test, said that the teams had moved on, and Dhoni said that, if anything, players from both teams were more aware of their behaviour now. Michael Clarke even used the word "respect" several times when asked about Harbhajan Singh.
Of course it has helped that some of the main characters from that drama aren't on this tour. Andrew Symonds and Matthew Hayden have long retired, and Harbhajan wasn't considered for the tour. And Harbhajan and Symonds are now on back-slapping terms as IPL team-mates for Mumbai Indians. The language of money can be the most persuasive, but the role of the IPL in fostering cultural understanding and goodwill cannot be underestimated.
Shane Warne's legend was further burnished for Indian fans after he led the unfancied Rajasthan Royals to a title; Shane Watson is grateful to the tournament for reviving his international career; Hussey and Doug Bollinger are loyal troopers for the Chennai Super Kings, led by Dhoni; and Ricky Ponting, though he played only one season, endeared himself the Kolkata Knight Riders players with his work ethic and generosity. Also, Indian players now understand better than before that none of the colourful language used on the field needs to be taken literally.
And of course a lot more has taken place off the field to ensure that there will be no repeat of Sydneygate. One fallout of a unipolar world is that it minimises the possibility of major conflicts. In 2008, the Indian cricket board was mighty enough to threaten the cancellation of the tour and effect a change of umpires. If anything, the commercial relationships have grown even tighter since. India and Australia have continued to play each other in some form of the game every year, they are co-promoters of the Champions League, and as the Indian economy has continued to grow, so has the dependency on the revenue generated from playing cricket with India. It isn't healthy, but it is the reality.
There have been murmurs in Australia about their team having gone soft and grown out of character in the aftermath of Sydney 2008 and the IPL. The reality, of course, is that bad behaviour has never won a match. The concept of mental disintegration was a fine psychological trick by Steve Waugh, but the truth is that his enforcers had the games to back up their chat. Matthew Hayden might have played the perfect bully on the field, but the real intimidation came from his bat.
Expect the cricket to be tough. Australia have forged a pace bowling combination that not only promises to grow to be a formidable one but, on the evidence of their Melbourne performance, is likely to present Indian batsmen with their toughest challenge in Australia since 1999. The tailenders have had a taste of the short ball, and the pitches in Sydney and Perth are expected to be considerably quicker than the Indians have encountered on the last couple of tours.
Indian batsmen have good memories of this ground. Both Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman have scored three centuries each here, and average 221.33 and 96.20 here, and both were in the all-time World XI picked by the SCG Trust on the eve of the ground's 100th Test. In 2004, when India ran up a score of 705, it moved some of the veterans in the press box to hail them as the greatest batting line-up to have visited Australia ever, and unlike at the MCG, India haven't lost their last five Tests here. But numbers can be interpreted the way you choose. For all the feel-good factor that Sydney generates for Indians, they haven't won a Test here since 1978, when they beat a second-choice team led by Bob Simpson.
A couple of days ago a mainstream Australian paper carried a headline that read "Sachin Cricket Ground", and inevitably, the pre-match chatter revolved around the 100th hundred. Tendulkar has always been loved in these parts and fans will thrilled to be part of a piece of history, but even if that doesn't happen, this special ground is assured of its own hundred tomorrow.
It would be too much to expect the cricket to match up to the fireworks and the exultant spirt that filled the night on December 31, but the truth is that the Sydney Test is always part of the New Year package. The weather's glorious, the city feels alive, as does Test cricket.

School recognises rugby's all-round appeal
30 October 2013 11:52am
By Liz Jones
A school in Caerphilly County Borough has marked its inclusion into the WRU School of Rugby initiative - by teaching every lesson through aspects of rugby.
To illustrate this, Lewis Boys used rugby as a vehicle to teach every subject throughout the timetable for a whole day, along with holding skills and introductory sessions for everyone.
Every discipline took part in the event, with pupils learning about the construction of the Stade de France in French to linking sport and science, discussing rugby articles in English, using rugby data in maths and learning about intelligent rugby shirt fabrics in engineering.
There was also coaching from former Wales hooker Lloyd Burns and WRU development officers alongside the school's PE staff introduced cage rugby and other alternative forms of the game.
Former Wales and British & Irish Lions player John Dawes, a former pupil of the school, was there to take part in a Q & A session and present the official plaque to the school in morning assembly.
Gareth Richards, one of the school's PE teachers and coordinator of the rugby programme said: "We at Lewis School Pengam are pleased to be recognised for our work in developing a positive rugby programme and are proud to be awarded the WRU School of rugby plaque. We are unique in the fact that we are an all-boys school (the sixth form is mixed) and we like to use sport as a clear pathway to help engage, reward and enthuse our pupils, with rugby at the forefront of this.
"Staff appreciate that many pupils are enthused by the sport and are keen to use this in their own areas. Many already use the rugby to interact and build relationships with pupils and appreciate the value it has in terms of pupil learning. This goes on in many subjects and the launch day enabled departments to demonstrate how they do this effectively and celebrate the award as a whole school.
"We are lucky in that we have teachers throughout the school with a big rugby background who are also keen to get involved in coaching rugby and this new status will give teachers, pupils and parents confidence about the opportunities that exist for current and future pupils at our school.
"We have a big rugby tradition at the club, and the pupils learned a lot from listening to John Dawes. The accreditation gives kudos but we aren't resting on our laurels. We have a lot of ideas about how to build on this platform. We are already delivering rugby to our catchment primary schools and there is a lot more to do. We have some quality players in our sixth form and we want to support and nurture that talent as much as possible, enabling those boys to move into the Dragons and international age grade squads."
WRU Head of Rugby Josh Lewsey said, "This initiative is a great example of how best to harness the core virtues and values of our sport. Lewis Boys School has shown the extent to which rugby can be used to engage young people in many ways and on many levels and the Welsh Rugby Union is keen to actively encourage, recognise and support initiatives such as this which make our sport unique."
Former Wales and Lions player and coach John Dawes said: "It's a thrill to come back to the school, especially for such an inspirational event - I'm immensely proud that the school has gained recognition in this way for the work that is done and I'm sure many of the current pupils will go on to have successful rugby careers at whatever level. I think every Pengam boy has good memories of their school days, and even though the buildings have changed, there is still the same buzz and spirit around the place because that is created by the staff and pupils.
"There were a lot of good players here in even in my day - the likes of Derek Morgan who went on to play for England, Peter Rees of Newport and Elliot Williams of Newbridge.
"It's one of Wales' old grammar schools where there was always a great rugby tradition and a strong link to senior club and international rugby, that's a great goal if the boys here can feel that and aspire to that too.
"Sometimes I worry about grassroots rugby in the age of professional rugby but it's encouraging to see school boys enjoying rugby, especially when it's your old school."
Design and Technology teacher Dale Watts, who used rugby kit to teach GCSE Engineering students about the engineering of fabrics added: "Textile engineering is sometimes overlooked but different technologies have gone into transforming rugby kit from heavy cotton tops to modern, intelligent fabrics so it was a great way of bringing the subject to life and connecting with the boys."
Arwel Tobson, a first XV player said: "It's great to be one of the top 22 rugby schools in Wales, and our school team is doing well at the moment but our aim is to be in the top 12 and compete in the WRU Wednesday League."
Year 8 pupil Ryan Evans, who hadn't played much rugby before the launch day said, "I enjoyed the skills session and got involved with the cage rugby.
"I don't usually play rugby but I enjoyed today and my dad thinks I've got the right build for rugby so I think I will join the school rugby club now. I think it can also help with making new friends, communication skills and having fun."

I liked everything about Nuss Buenos Aires Soho. I needed a hotel as an

Have you tried it? Just put a mirror before a very small child. He will look in the mirror very surprised, with wide open eyes he will look: "Who is this fellow?" He will try to catch hold, but he cannot catch hold of the person. And then, if the child is intelligent, he will try to go to the back of the mirror: "Maybe the child is hiding behind the mirror." He is not yet aware that it is only a mirror, there is no reality.
Mind is only a mirror: it reflects the clouds of the world; it reflects all that happens around in the world. Somebody insults and there is anger - it is a reflection. Somebody beautiful passes by and it reflects - it is lust. And you immediately become identified with it.
Keep a little distance and slowly, slowly you will find that the distance goes on growing. One day the mind is so far, far away, it does not affect you at all. This is coming home, this is buddhahood. Aes dhammo sanantano: this is the inexhaustible law of life. If you can be a witness you will be able to pass through a great transformation. You will know your real self.
The old maid sat stroking the head of her pet tomcat and worrying about what she had missed all her life, when all at once, a fairy appeared with her wand and told the old maid she was ready to give her any three wishes she might make. The fairy asked that she not get excited but take her time and decide on her wants carefully.
Her first wish was that she might have a beautiful body. The wand was waved and her wish granted. When she examined the result in the mirror, her second wish was immediate: that she be given clothing to drape this wonderful figure. Her wish was again fulfilled with racks of beautiful clothes made to fit perfectly.
When asked for the third wish, she said she wanted a man.
Said the fairy, "You have a beautiful cat there. How about making a man out of him for you?"
That was entirely agreeable, and the tomcat became a man. The old maid was very happy. When asked if she were entirely satisfied, she said she was. Then the fairy asked the man if he were entirely satisfied. "Yes," said he, "but she won't be."
"She forgot about that trip to the veterinarian!"
You go on doing things, unaware of what you are doing. You go on asking for things, unaware what you are asking for. If all your desires are fulfilled you will be the most miserable man in the world; it is good that they are not fulfilled.
The really religious person never asks anything from existence. He says, "Thy will be done, thy kingdom come. Because what can I ask out of my unawareness? Whatsoever I ask is going to be wrong." He asks only one thing: "Thy will be done."
Be meditative, be prayerful. Remember these two sutras: "This too will pass away" - that will help you to meditate - and the second sutra, "Thy will be done"; that will help you to be prayerful. And when meditation and prayerfulness meet, you are at the highest peak of consciousness possible.

JFK was right!Submitted by GBAmerica on Wed, 08/29/2012 - 21:53
JFK: Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
- Login to post comments
JFK knew what was coming and tried to warn the people.
He would have exposed the truth and ended the Fed, and for that he paid the ultimate price. May you forever rest in peace, Jack. One day your death will be avenged.
"Let it not be forgot; once there was a spot; for one brief, shining moment, known as Camelot."
One Modern Democrat I can look at in admiration
He was assassinated for a reason. He wanted to expose the Federal Reserve. There is an article floating around here somewhere saying 5 months before his assassination that he was going to pull back the curtain of the corruption of the Federal Reserve.
He also did an executive order 1110000 that legalized competing currencies, silver dollars etc. This executive order was still active in 1999, when the article was published, but I dont know anymore.
This is just......
This is just...
... Historically OUTSTANDING.
Thank you for sharing this positive memory refresher.

Super awesome post
Thanks for reminding us of our last legitimately elected prez.
I think it's amazing
That so many of us Ron Paul Republicans enjoy JFK. That's one person I can unite my family over. I think it's great, and all my family understands he was assassinated over his beliefs and what he said. They espouse the ideals of Dr. Paul but vote differently.
That's because as Paul supporters,
we look to WHO is the BEST candidate and NOT worry about "party". It's called thinking for yourself.
Yes he was.

I was really expecting more from this product and am quite disappointed. The texture is a nice light mouse that absorbs quickly. However, it did absolutely nothing for my complexion. In addition, I detest creams that don't come into a pump since it can easily get contaminated. Will not buy this again.

I was very excited to try this because apparently when it works....it works wonderfullly.
Not the case for me. This caused a topical dermatitis reaction in me. The day after I first applied it, I had raised, red, itchy rash on my cheeks. I skipped a night and tried again...but earlier in the evening, and the same thing happened again. I washed it off and wont be using it again.
I did patch test on the inside of my arm, and it was fine there.
So, I would suggest patch testing this maybe on a very small area of the cheek or neck, where the skin is as sensitive as the face...but just a small patch.

I really, really wanted to like this moisturizer. Why did I buy this? I thought that the price was okay, for such a large amount, and after all of these miracle stories that I have heard about this, I felt that I was missing out on something. What I was missing out on was the sample. When I applied this product, my face felt tight after about 5 minutes, meaning that no hydration had occurred. Looking at the ingredients, there is really no reason for this product to be placed in an obnoxious jar-style packaging. Now I am stuck with this jar!!

I tried the Sephora deluxe sample of this and it took me 4 days to see the problems it caused. I changed nothing but my moisturizer in those 4 days and now I have small itchy bumps all over my cheeks. I was hopeful that it would help with my breakouts, but no. I have even more now. And it didn't really moisturize, my skin felt just as dry before putting it on. Complete disappointment, I'll stay away from this.

Oh dear, I am not a fan of this! In my quest for the perfect moisteriser after a huge rethink of my skincare regime I decided to purchase HIAJ thinking it would be a cure for all. Very disappointed. Horrible smell, very chemically and almost like disinfectant. If this went anywhere near my eyes I would be in pain and teary for a LONG time. Did absolutely nothing for my skin, may have even contributed to the problems. I hated the consistency, did not feel like whipped mousse and found it sort of melted on contact with the skin. I hated the jar and unhygienic application of dipping your finger in. Overall, a massive disappointment and a huge waste of money.

I do not want to like this product. I got a deluxe sample of it from Sephora and figured I wouldn't like it, but I'll try basically anything once. I love this stuff. It absorbs easily, smoothing out dry patches without causing breakouts or making existing ones worse. It doesn't give me the greasies later. It makes my makeup look better and gives my face a nice glow (NOT shiny) when I wear it alone. It's too greasy for the really hot part of summer, but perfect the rest of the time. I used my little sample tube up and bought the 2 oz, thinking I'd rarely use it anyway...then I moved to Toronto from Dallas, and now I find myself using it every day. The good news it that it only takes a little bit, so the 2 oz jar will last me a long time. Not crazy about the scent (country gravy??) or the price, and also the packaging - the jar is not sanitary, and a certain amount of it is going to be wasted on my nailbeds when I scoop it out.

I think it's hit or miss with this one for a lot of people. I snagged myself a full size container because I had heard so many good things about it and figured that even if it didn't live up to its claims, I would at least be able to incorporate a gentle bit of exfoliation with the lactic acid. I am usually pretty good with products and up until this, I had never had an adverse reaction to a facial moisturizer. I put this on in the evening before bed and woke up with little bumps all over my face, they weren't red or itchy but it looked like I had hives all over my cheeks and the bridge of my nose. It took about a week for it to fade and I tried one more time just to make sure the reaction wasn't to something else I put on, but sure enough. The scent isn't giving this product any points either. I passed it onto a friend who had absolutely no problems with it.

Hearing about this on Oprah and every second person I got all excited and got some. I found it smelled strange and didn't absorb nicely. I kept trying it until I hated it. Then I thought about checking why everyone thought it was so great so I checked every ingredient in this cream....let me just say it's unhealthy and If I knew the ingredients in here in the first place I would have never tried it. I always say..."check what you're paying for" Cosmeticsdatabase.com

I am very sorry to say this but I did tried very hard to think positive things about this product. In all, I don't think hope in the jar brings me any hope. 1, The smell is not very pleasant. I don't know if it is just chemical smell or something else. Anyway, it smells very very weird. 2, minutes after I put it on, the skin around my eyes started to hurt. I tried hard to ignore the pain but my eyes just hurt very badly. Eventually, I had to wash it off and do everything all over again. I threw away the rest of it. This is just my own experience. I have sensitive skin.

Ryan "Ickie" Fletcher can draw anything. As an award-winning custom tattoo artist, he knows the perfect way to create life-size lion heads, wearable wings, chess boards with realistic depth and dimension, and portraits. Aside from inking skin with custom designs, he offers dermal anchors and piercings?and removes tattoos that have gained sentience and must be destroyed.
From facials to microdermabrasion, the staff behind The MedSpa at Dermatology & Plastic Surgery Associates enhance appearances with a wide spectrum of treatments. Their medspa offerings include chemical peels, laser resurfacing, and beauty injections, which combat dermal imperfections and signs of aging without going under the knife. Licensed aestheticians and techs conduct all medspa treatments, and are able to answer all questions from patients about the treatments, while also giving a pop quiz about content from the waiting room's magazines.
Ophthalmologists Dr. David I. Malitz, Dr. M. Alijajeh, and Dr. C. Mark Millsap team up with Doctor of Optometry Zach Rossman to clarify vision with Ohio Valley Eye Institute's range of cutting-edge eye-care services. Basic eye exams for children and adults test whether eyes need corrective lenses or LASIK. During cataract surgery, high-energy sound waves obliterate the cloudy intrusion into microscopic particles, and an intraocular lens usually eschews the need for stitches. The staff also brightens eye surroundings with cosmetic procedures such as blepharoplasty, which lifts drooping upper eyelids and tightens sagging lower lids, as well as Botox and laser resurfacing treatments. The ophthalmologists especially pride themselves on their surgical skills, having completely eliminated the need for glasses in many patients who have been told they weren't candidates for corrective procedures in the past.
The doctors sit down with each patient to review their selected procedure step by step in order to alleviate anxiety. Supportive friends or family members who stand by can amuse themselves by turning on the television or perusing a selection of magazines in the waiting area, or by peeking into their loved one's treatment room through a window to watch the surgical action.
Decatur Vein Clinic performs the mission of Dr. David R. Decatur by using advanced technology to treat varicose and spider veins. To treat varicose veins physicians rely on minimally invasive endovenous laser treatments that require little downtime, while sclerotherapy injections are used to fade the appearance of spider veins.
Drs. Anyanwu and Flores have tended to patients in their warm office setting for more than two decades. The family practice welcomes patients as young as aged 2 and as old as however old Abe Vigoda is, with services ranging from acute-illness treatment to internal medicine exams. The center also specializes in medically supervised weight loss, be it through a customized program, or with the aid of advanced laser weight loss technology.
Quality Weight Loss's on-site physicians supervise noninvasive laser weight-loss treatments that sculpt bodies into smoother figures and target specific areas for inch loss. Both of the treatments begin with an assessment of the targeted areas, followed by the laser application. Featured on The Doctors, Zerona's FDA-approved cold lasers strive to emulsify adipose tissue, shrinking fat cells and passing them through the body during the normal process of detoxification. Similarly, Lapex BCS LipoLasers simulate fat cells to release triglycerides, allowing the cells to shrink without being prodded by a Rick Moranis lookalike. This treatment involves direct skin contact as it focuses on targeted areas and the whole body with a combination of paddles and probes. Patients shouldn't feel heat during either treatment, and can simply relax, listen to music, or try to list the 37 words that rhyme with laser.

LISTEN: Rixton Announce New Single 'Hotel Ceiling'
Hey Music Buds,
We have a fun new single from the talented guys in Rixton! The new single "Hotel Ceiling" came out today and we are so into it...of course we will share it with you all :)
"Following on the success of their debut platinum hit single and U.K. No. 1 "Me And My Broken Heart" and their U.K. Top 10 follow up "Wait On Me" — British sensations Rixton have announced their next single will be "Hotel Ceiling." The track is the third single from the Manchester band's eagerly anticipated full-length debut album Let The Road, which will now be available in the U.S and around the world on March 3rd, 2015 via School Boy/Giant Little Man/Mad Love/Interscope Records. Those who pre-order Let The Road will receive "Hotel Ceiling" as an instant download. A video for the track, which is co-written by the band, their producer Benny Blanco (Katy Perry, Maroon 5), and Ed Sheeran will be released in January. Rixton will perform their new single live on Good Morning America on January 6th on ABC."

Exclusive: Young Rising Sons Talk Highs, Lows, Music & The 1975!
Hey Music Buds,
We got a chance to sit down with Young Rising Sons and chat about their music, Songwriting and The 1975!
In "High", you sing "Without a low, there ain't a high". What have been the lows that you've had to experience to get to the highs in your career?
We have been a band for about 5 years now. In that time a lot of what we tried didn't work. It was discouraging to pour everything we had into something only to be kicked around by the music industry and not be taken seriously. We were made a lot of empty promises and sent on wild goose chases to find 'the right sound,' or write 'the big smash.' only to be rejected. However, we always knew that this is what we were going to do no matter what happened to get in our way.
"High" was featured in the movie, "This Is Where I Leave You". What's it like hearing your song in movies o on the radio?
It's similar to that scene in That Thing You Do, when they first hear their song on the radio. It's a very surreal experience that I don't think will ever become old to us.
Your sound reminds me a little bit of fun. Where do you get your musical inspiration from?
We listen to so many different things and individually we all grew up listening to a pretty diverse plethora of music. Queen, The Supremes, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers and even Rancid are a few different artists we derive inspiration from.
How do you write your songs? What is the process like?
We all write our songs together in a very open, democratic process. Someone will come in with a melody, lyric, or riff, and we will bounce ideas off each other until we have something we can all stand behind and be proud of.
Right now you're touring with the 1975, what has it been like on the road?
We've been on the road for a while now, and everything tends to become a bit of a blur. However, this tour is certainly different from anything we have done in the past. The kids that come out to the shows are truly music fans and are at the front of the stage as soon as doors open. The 1975 has a passionate and rabid fan base, and it's been an honor and pleasure to share the stage with them.

With Every Obstacle Comes A New Path.
It has been a while since I wrote a deeper, heartfelt blog on here. I have been really working on myself inside and out and am trying to pass on the knowledge and amazing feelings that come along with doing that to anyone who wants to listen. Once you are happy with yourself, everything else seems to make sense and good people are drawn to you. I sat down and listened to music the other day after a long walk and started writing down my thoughts...enjoy.
- Love can and always will be more powerful than hate.
- ALWAYS act from a place of love.
- Don't get mad when you don't get what you want from a situation. There is alway a reason that it's unfolding the way it is.
- Try to walk in the shoes, even for a second, of the person you are conflicted with.
- Spend more time within yourself and less time "in your head".
- Money is cool but it is just a perk oh and it's literally a piece of paper. True wealth comes from everything else. Money later rewards you for seeking what you need and love.
- Happiness has no face value.
- You have way less control than you'd like, EMBRACE it!
- If you wanted to settle, you would have by now. Keep moving.
- Keep your class. You will cherish it later. Great men and women will treat you right only if you set a high standard for them to match up to. Set your goals.
- It's OK to cry, do not abandon a natural emotion just because of your ego.
- If they pull away...let them go.
- The truth is...you define what matters to you. You create conflict and stress in your life by how you respond to situations.
- Age IS just a number.
- Kids give the best advice.
- Laughter will seriously heal you.
- Take care of yourself, wellness is vital and it is more than just what you see on the scale.
- Friends are meant to mirror the best qualities you project out to the world. Never take them for granted.
- Don't party as much as you did when you were younger. Successful adults need sleep.
- Dreams can and will be the answer to alot of your questions in life, write them down!
- Open a book at least 2 times a week. Let yourself absorb other worlds, thoughts,ideas and educate yourself.
- Do not EVER lose yourself in anyone, they connected with you because of who YOU are. If they wanted to date themselves they would.
- Even if you think you have it all figured out, you don't. There is always room to crash, burn, survive, grow and get even stronger.
- Travel as much as you possibly can, trust me!
- Smile as much as you possibly can, trust me!
- Tell yourself how beautiful you are every single day.
- Be grateful especially "the easier" things get. Gratitude is the base of all success and happiness.

EXCLUSIVE Interview: Deleasa Talks Inspiration, Music & More!
Hey Buzznet,
We have some new amazing music for you from Deleasa! We listened to his newest song "Good People" and were instantly hooked! You can order the song on iTunes HERE! Another personal favorite is this song...
"Michael Deleasa is no stranger to the road, having previously toured in direct support to Olly Murs, Lawson, Jason Castro and The Jonas Brothers. This time around, Deleasa is set to kick off his "GranTourismo" Fall Tour alongside Nick Thomas (formerly of The Spill Canvas) and Cassio Monroe. Starting November 6th Deleasa will be traveling throughout the northeast, playing 9 cities along the way."
Here is our fun interview we did!
When and how did you know that you wanted to pursue music?
Well I have always loved music from a young age and would dream of being in a band. I then joined my first band in 6th grade and was hooked and just didnt stop playing and touring. Before I knew it I was living in LA realizing oh damn I am a full time "artist"
What inspires your sound?
There is a lot of amazing music out there that inspires me, I definetly fall into the category of a old soul and love Al Green, Earth Wind and Fire and Steely Dan to name a few but then there are all these new artist that are interpreting the things I love with today's technology so I'll get turned onto a new artist like banks and hear snakeships remix of warm water or hear a Mayer Hawthorne cut and just get all amped up and it inspires me to push my sound.
How do the lyrics to your songs come about?
It may sound cliche but just life.... Some times im driving and hangin on a thought so I start humming and it snowballs.... I also just makes notes of titles or jot down a few lyrics when ever. Sometimes it hits right when I'm about to fall asleep or in the middle of being out.
What is your favorite song to perform live, and why?
Right now its the new single good people for the sole fact its a straight jam
Who would you like to work with in the future?
There are quit a few but to name a few Q-tip, Raphael Saadiq, and I think a real dope collab would be with this band Cherub.

ICYMI: David Schmitt Talks Breathe Carolina, His Dream Tour Bus & More!
Hey music lovers,
I feel like most of you have been fans of David Schmitt and Breathe Carolina since the start. If so, here is an interview I did with David recently that you will love...we talk tour, fans and he even empties his pockets.
For the people who have not checked you out, describe your music in 3 words!
Fast, Melodic, Energetic!
You guys have evolved over the years, what is the hardest part of adjusting to changes in the industry?
I think everyone adjusting to us is the hardest thing, like we're entering new platforms and a new world and we just hope everyone hangs on for the ride!
You just started The Friend Zone Tour, are there any dates in particular that you are stoked for?
Always love playing the hometown ( Denver) New York and L.A. are always up there as well as Texas!
What is one song you heard this year that you wish you wrote?
Duke Dumont "waves"
If you could design your dream tour bus, what would it look like?
The bus that's in the spice girls movie where everyone has their own big rooms!
Pick one song off 'Savages' and tell us what it means to you and what the writing process was like!
"Shots Fired" about going through letting someone in the life go and how it affects you. Anytime you lose someone to anything, it's hard and the process is emotional.
What is running through your mind the second you first hit the stage? Do you have any pre-show rituals?
I just get pumped! Seeing everyone out in the crowd is a feeling like no other. We don't really have any more show rituals, to be honest... we just get hyped up!
Empty your pockets…what's in them?
Phone, wallet, crumpled receipts!
What advice can you give the kids reading this who are trying to follow their dreams?
Make sure you stay true to yourself and be careful who you trust along the way. Don't forget why you started doing it in the first place!

We want to be playing all the major festivals; we want to be every where we can be. Still having the time of our lives!
Catch Breathe Carolina in a city near you on the Friends Zone Tour!
EXCLUSIVE Interview: Gavin Degraw Talks His New Album, His Fans & More!
Happy Monday Buzznet!
I got the pleasure of doing a phone interview with the talented Gavin Degraw recently! I have been a fan of his music from day 1 and have always been so impressed with how powerful his lyrics were, his songs would be on repeat daily. He has managed to uphold that reputation and his fans are still supporting him over 10 years later! Whether you are a new fan or someone who has been singing along to his music for years, I hope you enjoy this interview and be sure to check out his newest album on iTunes HERE!
You just released a new album, can you tell us a little about that?
I released an album yesterday, my latest. It's called 'Finest Hour: The Best Of Gavin Degraw'. It's essentially a greatest hits type of album but it's my selection of songs that I want people to hear who haven't herd my music before to give them a good overview of my music so far. I've put out five studio albums and this is me hand picking songs from those albums and going "here check it out, see what you think". It was a really good time to put out the song fire which I just wrote with a couple of guys I know and we were so excited about this song we were like we gotta get this thing out there immediately so I thought how I could get this out there immediately and I spoke to people I knew and they were like well you know you could put out a best of album because there's enough material here and we can use your new song "Fire" as part of the way to promote it this way you get to get this song out there to the world.
You have some new songs on the album, whats the process in creating a new song for you?
Well it's pretty much all over the place you know you have an idea for a melody or lyrics and they start leading the way for each other but ultimately it all has to fit into the frame work of what you think that melody is. The melody is the important thing first and then of course coming up with that lyric. The melody is the design to make you think oh that's catchy or that's pretty or that's fun but the lyric is really where you get the opportunity to allow people to know you and allow the audience to feel like they know you and so the power of a lyric is very special some people can just write a lyric so great that everyone feels like they know them for thirty seconds. The song writing process is always an interesting one and is always fun because you can make something really good or you can really ruin something and you know when you're done which way you've gone. That's one of the fun things about it, it's an imperfect system.
The crazy part is as a listener you can take so much from that and create a completely different scenario in your head...
100% exactly, you know music is a way to either escape or be part of something so it's always interesting to see all the different ways it can be used. For something invisible it's really quite special you could be in a restaurant listening to one artist but if they put on a different artist it feels like your in a completely different place.
Aside from song writing and all the different challenges that comes from that, what has been one of the biggest obstacles for you as an artist over the years?
Obstacle wise I think has been a couple of years ago I finally decided co-writing and my biggest obstacle was me. I'd get in the way of certain things; I'd be married to a particular idea and it has to be this way so I should just always write alone and these are the things that in my opinion stunted my growth for a while and when I finally decided to try it improvements happened immediately and things changed exponentially for me and improved for me. The biggest thing was getting past some of the restrictions I created for myself because of whatever reason. I had to get past certin ideas.
Do you write for other people as well?
I do but it doesn't mean they'll cover the song sometimes I'll write things and end up doing the song. For me when were in the studio and I was thinking to myself awe man I want Tom Jones to do this song but he's never even herd the song I wrote it myself . I was thinking about Tom Jones when I wrote "Leading Man" and when I wrote "Follow Through" I was thinking about Paul McCartney and so sometimes you write a song for someone but not necessarily because their gonna sing it, you write it and think about what someone like that would do or like to do without them even hearing it
You have some amazing fans that have stuck with you over the years since the beginning; whats the best thing a fan has ever done for you that stands out in your head?
Fans have done some really great things. If your lucky enough to have a fan base they'll really change your life. Years ago when I was out on tour living in a van and things were rough a fan came up to me and she gave me a Starbucks gift card and getting free coffee and a snack here and there was very helpful to me, it was a big deal. Fans making scrapbooks and putting together photos of you over the course of your summer tour or your album cycle or if they've been coming to your shows for years and they have a book made of them and another fan that they became friends with by listening to your music or online, its very special to see how you can become part of a community and it's very flattering and sometimes when your writing music you don't think about that stuff or the residual affects that are really quite inspiring . Things like that are just so cool. When we first started touring wed do a show and wouldn't have any money to stay at a hotel and people are like hey man you can shower at my house and just stuff like that. The early part of your career it's a really special thing because people are trying to help you and a lot of those people stay with you your entire career if your lucky. And they defend you and promote you and tell their friends about you and its really a special thing.
Fans don't even realize they are half of the magic, you could sit there and play all your amazing songs to yourself but the whole point is you want other people to be inspired by them so it's great...
Exactly, and everyone wants to feel special. Everyone wants to feel at the end of the day that they are appreciated and music is one of those lucky jobs were you get done with your work day and people clap for you. There's not too many jobs where at the end of the day people start clapping.
Because you are someone who has clearly followed their dreams do you have any advice for anyone that's struggling trying to follow their dreams right now?
I guess a couple things, you have to be completely dedicated to it, if your pursuing your dream you still have to go to work concerning that thing. If it's your dream you have to put the hours in. If your doing that thing that's your dream but it only feels like work then that's not your dream, it shouldn't feel like work. You're going to work but it shouldn't feel like work, if it does that's not the dream it, can't be, it has to be fun. Music is always fun for me.
It's one of those things that once it sparks you, you should always be inspired and excited to continue it...
Exactly, you know my brother just lost a very close friend who was a master carpenter and artist and he said to him "I never worked a day in my life." ...and he was a man who went to work everyday.
It's so true and its one of the most challenging things...
Yea but you know some people they have different dreams, they don't necessarily dream of doing what they love they just dream of being famous or rich or have the person who teased me in high school work for me. There's totally different dreams and different versions of what people consider to be a dream so its hard to give advice. I just say if it is your dream it should be something you love and it's possible for anybody. If I can be here doing this for a living anybody can.
Since you did use to travel in a van, if you could design your dream tour bus and have some of your essentials that you've just dreamt up in your head, what would your dream tour bus look like?
My dream tour bus would be a jet with a hotel in it, hahaha. That would be my dream tour bus. It's actually a plane that is a hotel.
If you could no longer do what you were doing right now what impact would that have on you?
My life would be nothing similar to what it is now because it's my favorite thing to do. I don't know, that's hard for me It would defeat me, I cant think of anything that would make me feel more defeated than not being able to do what I love.
Any last words for your fans?
I wanna tell them thank you and you've changed my life and I love you for that and I hope to see them soon.
What do YOU guys think of Gavin Degraw? Do you have a favorite song?

I had to give this pattern a try after seeing all the fabulous versions made by other BurdaStyle members. After having a bit of hard time finding the right size I had a great time sewing this dress. This project was quite easy and quick to make. Nevertheless, the outcome is lovely. I wanted to use light cotton which is my favourite fabric in summer clothing. Also I wanted to try the stand up collar. Could not be happier with the outcome. Since I am a huge fan of belts I also made a simple belt to match the dress. I think it gives a nice finishing touch. I used very light cotton batiste for underlining, which makes this dress very comfortable to wear. I love this :)

A Walk in the Dark is now available on Steam. Priced at $6.99, the game has players leaping around lethal obstacles in shadowy levels as a cat named Bast, searching for its owner Arielle.
The game draws apt comparisons to other challenging platformers like Limbo, VVVVVV and Super Meat Boy, as each game was a key influence for developer Flying Turtle. Similar to Limbo, the platformer includes "gravity inversion" mechanics in some levels, and seen in the screen above, a rather nefarious-looking spider. A Walk in the Dark was among a group of 100 games that were granted distribution on Steam thanks to Valve's Greenlight service in August.
