Elvis Perkins @ Clearwater Festival 6/21 (more by Chris La Putt)
Drift: You're playing Bonaroo this year, and you did last year. Do you enjoy playing festivals?If you caught Elvis at Bonnaroo, you may have noticed Justin Vernon of Bon Iver joining the band on stage for the last two songs of their set. Elvis Perkins in Dearland returned the favor by adding horns to Bon Iver's "For Emma" and their cover of Yo La Tengo's "I Feel Like Going Home." See the videos below.
Elvis Perkins: Yeah. The festival atmosphere and scene is good fun. Especially when people are all sort of holed up in one place, have pilgrimaged their way to a certain spot, like what you get at Bonaroo or Sasquatch, that you don't necessarily get at Lollapalooza. That behind-the-scenes thing is fun, and just taking part in something like a modern day religious-less pilgrimage, a Mecca of sorts, if good. It lets everyone know that they're alive. The playing of the sets themselves can sometimes be challenging, but once you get thrown to the fire, you get used to the temperature. And if you can accept that it's going to be somewhat chaotic and that it's not going to sound very good, at least to you, on stage, then it can definitely be an enjoyable moment. The last time I was at Bonaroo, I certainly wasn't in the best spirits, or in the best shape rest-wise or nutrient-wise, so it was a bit of a struggle for me against the heat and the dust. But this time I'm prepared, and I know what awaits. This time I'm going to take Bonaroo before it takes me.
Bonnaroo wasn't the only festival Perkins played this summer. We recently posted pics of him at Newport Folk Festival and at the Clearwater Festival. He'll also be at Seattle's Bumbershoot in September.
Perkins's winter '09 tour made two NYC stops - one at the Bell House and one in March at the Bowery Ballroom. At the latter, Perkins ended the night by leading the packed crowd through the soapy confines of the NYC subway system for an encore. Elvis Perkins in Dearland will return to that venue for a show on Friday, December 4th with Bowerbirds. Maybe this time they'll head over the Williamsburg Bridge. Which would leave them not far from their next show, December 5th at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. Tickets for the NYC shows go on AmEx presale Wednesday, August 12th at noon; general sale starts Friday at noon.
Bowerbirds are not playing the Music Hall show - opener TBA on that one. Bowerbirds are currently still on tour with Megafaun who they played Bowery Ballroom with in July 2009 which was not that long before they played the Pitchfork Festival in Chicago (more pictures from that show below). In July 2008, Bowerbirds opened for Bon Iver at Bowery Ballroom (it was part of a larger tour).
Bon Iver has a new project with a new album and tour dates too.
Videos of the above-mentioned Bonnaroo collaborations, P4k pictures, and all tour dates are below...

The eighth annual Bonnaroo drew about 75,000 people to 700 acres of farmland here in Manchester, 60 miles from Nashville, for a lineup headlined by a jam band (the reunited Phish, playing three-hour shows on Friday and Sunday), rockers whose careers are measured in decades (Bruce Springsteen, Nine Inch Nails and David Byrne) and rappers who now qualify as old school (the Beastie Boys). [NY Times]Far from a complete representation of what went down in Tennessee from June 11-14, but nonetheless, one set of pictures from the fest (catching up this weekend), below...
Bon Iver plays in Volcano Choir (new album), playing Merkin Concert Hall (NY Guitar Festival), other shows (tour dates)
Volcano Choir
Wisconsin's Volcano Choir is Bon Iver's Justin Vernon with Collections of Colonies of Bees members Jon Mueller, Chris Rosenau, Jim Schoenecker, Daniel Spack, and Thomas Wincek. Their album, Unmap, recorded in the fall of 2008, comes out September 22nd on Jagjaguwar (9/21 in the UK). The label described their sound as "ranging from David Sylvian and Steve Reich to Mahalia Jackson and Tom Waits." About the Volcano Choir record, Vernon said to Pitchfork, "I sing on it, but there aren't a lot of lyrics-- it's definitely more on the experimental side of things."

No word on whether Volcano Choir will play any live shows, but Bon Iver is currently on tour. That group has summer dates all over the place (Europe, the West Coast, Europe again, the West Coast again), up to Austin City Limits in October.
Bon Iver will be premiering a new piece in NYC on Thursday, January 21st, 2010, at Merkin Concert Hall. The show, part of the New York Guitar Festival's "Silent Films/Live Guitars" series, will feature a Vernon-commissioned score to Charlie Chaplin's The Gold Rush. He'll be joined by Volcano Choir collaborator Chris Rosenau. Performing separately at the show will be Steve Kimock, of Zero and Crazy Engine, who is scoring Buster Keaton's Cops. Tickets will be available as 4-show series subscriptions and individually.

Comedian and musician Dave Hill was summoned to Bonnaroo this past weekend to be part of both the comedy and music going-ons at the four-day Tennessee festival. I asked if he'd mind sharing his experiences (and pictures) with BrooklynVegan.com. He agreed. I regretted it. He sent it anyway, so here it is (starting with some MP3's by his rock band Valley Lodge), but warning: this post is not for the squeamish (NSFTS)...

Dave Hill tests face-melting licks out on some chairs
I've just returned from four magical days and nights at Bonnaroo, where my rock band Valley Lodge was the house band for Triumph the Insult Comic Dog's "Bonnapoo 2009" shows, which featured all sorts of awesomeness from Robert Smigel aka Triumph as well as sets from the great Todd Barry, Amy Schumer, and Kumail Nanjiani.
"Smigel performed four sets as Triumph at Bonnaroo, which annually hosts a comedy tent along with its smorgasbord of music acts, spread out over five main stages on a farm in rural Tennessee.The excitement started on Wednesday night when I got on a plane to Nashville with my close personal friend Janeane Garofalo, Pete Holmes, Kumail Nanjiani, and the rest of my rock band Valley Lodge. If you've ever wanted to be on a completely hilarious plane, you could do a lot worse than to have been on this plane. As you can probably imagine, all of us were running back and forth between our seats spraying each other with seltzer bottles and throwing pies in each others' faces. At one point, Pete Holmes came over to my seat to shake my hand and it turned out he had one of those joy buzzers on his finger. Man, was my face red. I got him back though by spraying him in the face with a prank flower I was wearing at the time. We both just laughed and laughed after this happened. He couldn't stay mad at me.
"My live act is a huge undertaking because Triumph kind of thrives on the immediate, discussing what everybody's thinking about," said Smigel while whisking past festival-goers in a golf cart, puppet on hand." [AP]
Once we got to Nashville, some unmarked vehicles took us all to Murfreesboro, the popular Tennessee town where we all stayed at the Doubletree Hotel, which is really classy. Because I snore and also like to get up to all sorts of hardcore banging in hotels, I had my own room. When I dropped off my bags, I looked around the room and got all excited about all the snoring and hardcore banging I would be doing in my room over the next few days and nights.

"Sasquatch was hot. H-O-T. Not Paris Hilton "hot," but temperature hot. For a mossed-over clutch of Northwesterners who have been shrouded under rain and clouds for the past eight months, the brutal sun at the Gorge this weekend was a shocking jolt into summer. Sure, it was generally nice to be out in the sun, but any shade cover at the 'Squatch was few and far between, and there was almost no chance of relief. A small row of spindly trees dotted the upper walkway, and overheated concertgoers crammed themselves underneath them. When the sun dipped behind a cloud during Animal Collective's generally unimpressive set, the crowd cheered louder than they had for any band. Clothing sweated clean through, energy was conserved, and water was at a premium. It was a weekend of dizzy sunburning and frizzled brain." [Portland Mercury]The 2009 Sasquatch Festival ran from May 23-25 (Memorial Day Weekend) in Gorge, Washington. More pictures from Day One, below...

Dark Was the Night @ Radio City Music Hall in NYC (Brightest Byrne Bon National Feist Projectors) - pics, review & setlist
photos by Natasha Ryan, words by Andrew Frisicano
Dark Was the Night live finally happened Sunday, May 3rd at Radio City. Right before showtime, there were still tickets available, but the auditorium seemed fairly full as the Dirty Projectors set began. The band sounded great with its newly fleshed out six-piece lineup (though I didn't catch the titles of the first Bitte Orca song). The reverb of the room was almost a special guest of its own and a welcome addition throughout the night. On new single "Stillness Is the Move" singer Amber Coffman really let loose with the dance moves and the added vocal acrobatics the song deserves. David Byrne joined the band on their Dark Was the Night collaborations -- the not-on-the-comp "Ambulance Man" and album opener "Knotty Pine."
Red Hot executive director John Carlin (Red Hot being the AIDS advocacy group that put out Dark Was the Night along with many other benefit comps) came out and said a few words about the performers before My Brightest Diamond/Shara Worden burst into her cover of Nina Simone's "Feeling Good." Worden was backed by Thomas Bartlett (Doveman) on keys, members of the National including the two Dessners brothers (who were obvious fixtures through the night), drummer Bryan Devendorf, plus horns and strings. Worden's massive voice filled the hall, but sadly took the lead for only one song.
The rest of The National guys came on stage for Boxer song "Slow Show," followed by new song "England." Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and band were on stage for backups, and for The National's Dark Was the Night contribution, "So Far Around the Bend," Vernon even picked up a guitar and took a solo. The band closed with another new song, which singer Matt Berninger mumbled the title of a few times (anyone catch it?).
For the next set, TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek took the stage in a sharp looking suit and performed one track, his DwtN Troggs cover "With a Girl Like You." Here it was backed by a fuzzed out bass, horns, keys, and a collection of the night's performers on handclaps and tambourines (Dirty Projectors, Dessners, others).
As John Carlin announced earlier, the first half of the show was to close with David Byrne's three Red Hot compilation contributions. Led by five hand percussionists, Byrne opened with Cole Porter's "Don't Fence Me In." Second, he played "Dreamworld: Marco De Canavesems" with Justin Vernon sitting in on vocals for Brazilian singer Caetano Veloso (who originally collaborated with Bryne on the track). The tune's hyped up bossa nova, with the Dessners on guitars, was one of the night's many highlights. Finally, Byrne sang with Feist (who subbed for the original's Marisa Monte) on the Antonio Carlos Jobim song "Waters of March" ("Aguas de Março"). Even with Byrne starring down at the lyric prompt for nearly the whole song, the jumping melody of that tune was an amazing end to the first set.

Sarah Siskind, who plays w/ Bon Iver & Bill Frisell (videos), is in NYC - free show tonight & other tour dates
"Sarah Siskind (1978 - ) is a singer and songwriter based in Nashville and grounded in folk and Appalachian roots. Her music has been classified as: rock, folk, americana, and alternative. Alison Krauss has championed Sarah and values her songs so highly that she's recorded two of them, both of which became singles and videos that received widespread airplay. Bluegrass/Folk legend Tim O'Brien calls her a rare talent...Sarah and Bon Iver have also toured together, and Sarah just finished opening for Bill Frisell on a tour that brought the pair to Minneapolis, MN on April 11th. Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) just happened to be in the neighborhood (I guess?), and he joined Sarah and Bill on stage for the above-mentioned favorite song. Watch that video, and others like it, below.
...In 2002, Sarah released "Covered." Despite its title, it featured mostly original songs that dealt with love, family and relationships... Sarah invited Bill Frisell, a modern-day giant of jazz guitar, to anchor the studio band.....
...Indie-rock act Bon Iver was so taken with Sarah's song "Lovin's For Fools" that the group closed most of their 2008 tour sets with the song each night, and invited her to join them on their December 2008 European tour. In addition, Ireland's legendary artist, Paul Brady, invited her to join him on-stage for a collaboration in New York City that same year, and had her contribute backing vocals on his new album."

"Though promoters around the country report strong early ticket sales for festivals and summer tours, the recession is causing jitters. This year Coachella, which has the most glamorous reputation of all American festivals, began selling tickets on layaway, and 18 percent of its customers took that option, Mr. Tollett said.With all the leaks of bands playing Lollapalooza this year, there are almost no surprises in the official lineup announcement, except maybe the Animal Collective DJ set... The whole thing below...
The proliferation of big festivals, like Bonnaroo near Nashville and Lollapalooza in Chicago, has not been without casualties. This year Langerado in Miami shut down, citing the economy. The Pemberton Festival in British Columbia is on hiatus after only one year, although its promoter, Live Nation, said the problem was permit delays." [NY Times]

Marissa Nadler in Brest, France, May 17 2008 by Nicolas Ollier
Q: What's the price of admission at your in-stores? How can I get tickets?Sound Fix will, sadly, have to change the answer of "Can my band come play at your space?" to "No" after February 28th because that's the date of the last in-store (in-lounge) ever. The whole lounge closes soon after.
A: Our in-stores are free to the public and seating is general admission.
Q: Where do the bands play?
A: In the Sound Fix Lounge, behind the record store.
Q: What time should I show up?
A: Please don't call and ask us this. We don't know. Every show is different. Sometimes people show up an hour early to get a good spot, sometimes the place is empty a half hour before showtime. If you really love the band and want a good spot, get here early. That's all we can say.
Q: Is Sound Fix one word or two?
A: Two words! Please do not spell it "Soundfix." It really drives me crazy.
Q: Can my band come play at your space?
A: Unlikely. But it can't hurt to ask.
Q: Where is Beacon's Closet?
A: A block and a half from the store, down N. 11th St. Please stop asking.
Q: What's the greatest album of all time?
A: Depending on my mood, Neil Young's Tonight's the Night or the Who's Sellout
Marissa Nadler will be the final performer at the Brooklyn venue. It's one day after her show at Greenpoint's Lutheran Church, and a few days before the one she's playing at Joe's Pub.

The Rosebuds @ Mercury Lounge (CMJ 2008) (more by Kyle Dean Reinford)
The Rosebuds kick off a short tour tonight/Wednesday (1/14) in Baltimore. The NYC show is Friday, and as Bill pointed out, the Bowery Ballroom lineup recently got much more interesting with the addition of Max Tundra. The Love Language is also on that bill. Tickets are still on sale.
In sadder news, The Rosebuds' dog Jasmine recently passed away. In her honor they made a video for their new song "Nice Fox" using footage from a time they took Jasmine to the lake. The song appears on their new record Life Like which is out now on Merge.
""In the Backyard" is a chilling, but darkly funny song, one that never gives in fully to bleakness like Night of the Furies did. And, like many other songs on Life Like it hints at something better. Something far off, perhaps, but better nonetheless. And with help from Bon Iver's Justin Vernon, Portastatic's Matthew McCaughan, and many others, Life Like feels like the product of a community. Of people coming together to make something positive, without losing sight of their clear-eyed reality. The Rosebuds have long threatened to be the best, and smartest, pure pop band going, and with Life Like they take a big step towards becoming exactly that." [PopMatters]Whether The Rosebuds will be playing the recently announced XX Merge Festival is still unknown (probably?), but all other tour dates, and the sad video for "Nice Fox", below...

Bon Iver (Justin Vernon), with three-piece band, returned to Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn Friday night (12/12). It was his third NYC show in three days, and his last NYC show of 2008 according to what he told the crowd. He also said he was excited to almost be done touring so he can spend some time at home getting back down to earth after a crazy (sucessful) year.
Their set included two new songs, one of which was played during the one-song encore, and a cover of The Outfield's "Your Love" - a song he said he knew the bloggers would love. He was right. Actually I think everyone in attendance loved it, along with the whole show, though the highlight had to be the powerful crowd-sing-a-long to "The Wolves (Act I & II)".
Justin at one point lovingly and modestly joked, "How about that Tallest Man On Earth? I'm not sure why we decided to bring him on tour" (or something like that). He was referring to the Dylanesque opener, that was, as he pointed out, solid (though sometimes hard to hear over people talking).
"What is shocking about this is the fact that this man (who is of average height) seems to understand American folk music better than any other performer today is from Sweden." [Tone Marrow Reviews]More pictures from the Brooklyn show, below...

Just in time for winter, BON IVER have announced a new 4 song 12"/cdep entitled Blood Bank. From the title track's remembrance of the winter warmth we seek, to the summer love tribute of b-side gem "Babys", Bon Iver's snow-blanketed harmonies live across the seasons. Still, there is a reverence for sabbatical, solitude and the winding down of time. As much as "For Emma, Forever Ago" is about the cold, the Blood Bank collection is about the warmth that gets you through it."Blood Bank" is now available for pre-order. Bon Iver played his second of two shows at Town Hall here in NYC last night (12/11). His third NYC show in a row goes down tonight/Friday at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Last night you may have also caught them on Letterman. A bunch of other people definitely did...
Blood Bank will be released in the US on 1/20/09 and in the UK on 1/19/09. If you can't wait until then, head out to one of the bands shows stretching through the end of December hitting the East coast and parts of the Midwest where they will be selling the vinyl version.

Given the cultural lip service in the United States to the importance of education, you might think that ignorance is uniformly undesirable. In principle, we should seek to improve our knowledge in all circumstances. However in recent months, with the disaster that has hit the global economy, ignorance may be more blissful than one would have thought.
Every time I look at my retirement account, mostly going down but sometimes bouncing up a tick with some new announcement, my anxiety tracks the inverse of the indices. On mentioning this to my colleagues, they all say the same thing: Just don't look at it. Clearly this seems like good advice for reducing anxiety but of course we are constantly bombarded by economic news every day suggesting that we better keep an eye on things. "Just don't look" seems like a kind of intentional ignorance on the order of the proverbial ostrich's head in the sand. Can it ever be wise to put blinders on?

People Eat More Vegetables
The Spiralizer Helps People Eat More Produce
Harvard Medical School has actually come out with a public note from a study that they have conducted. The results were that Americans do not consume enough produce. This is really a shame to live in a country with an abundance of food all around and neglect eating plenty of produce.
One good way to enjoy favorite treats and easily and quickly add more produce is to use a Spiralizer. This is a very simple and handy kitchen tool. You use it to cut long strands from common vegetables like squash, carrots, and whatever you like.
For example, zucchini is a very good shape to use in this tool. Similar long veggies can go right through the tool raw and uncut. If you have other vegetables with different shapes, you can simply cut them to fit into the tool, and then you can cut your long vegetable noodle shapes.
What Can You Use Veggie Noodles For?
There are multiple uses for these handy vegetable noodles. One of the most common uses is to replace refined grain pasta in pasta recipes. The noodles have the same shape as regular spaghetti, and you can choose to use them either cooked or raw.
Once you have covered them with sauce, they are just like enjoying regular pasta, but you will consume fewer calories and processed food. Of course, you also get to enjoy extra servings of vegetables, and this should help you stay healthy and maintain a trim weight.
Other Vegetable Noodle Ideas
What else can use these vegetable noodles for besides pasta dishes? It's great to have a way to enjoy sauce without having to eat a lot of carb-laden noodles, but you probably don't want to eat that every day. Still, you should include plenty of veggies in your diet every day.
Stir Fry With The Spiralizer
The other good use of these trimmed vegetables is inside of your favorite stir fry dishes. Because the vegetables are cut into long and slender spirals, they cook very quickly. All you have to do is add a bit of oil or spray oil to your pan or wok and cook up the veggies. If you prefer, you can also add small slices of meat and sauce.
Make Slaws And Salads
Raw zucchini, cucumbers, and carrots can be the basis for a salad or slaw. Go ahead and slice your vegetables with this tool. Then you are free to add your favorite slaw or salad dressing. Either way, these colorful salads are appetizing and very healthy. Because of the uniform slices, the salads look very attractive, and you will be proud to serve them at the next lady's lunch that you host.
Spiralizer Pays For Itself
You don't have to stop at the deli to pick up professional-looking slaws and salads. You can enjoy your favorite pasta sauces without eating carbs contained in regular pasta. This tool also makes slicing vegetables for stir fry recipes a cinch. Why not try it today?

Event Planner in Israel
Event Planner in Israel Jess at http://jess972.com/about-jess972/ will get the Job done for you!
If you wish are looking for an event planner in Israel you need to use Jessica! That way, you can be sure to have all you need to know in mind as you move forward. This is something you're able to do, you can plan for any type of event that may come up.
A number of people have to take on event planning with a group if it's large enough, so when choosing who to help you if there's a lot to do think about getting a team. You can then allocate their help to varying tasks which will make it easier to get a lot more done in much less time. When you create teams make sure you ask about who has what skill and then you can always give people a task that you know they can do.
When you are dealing with an event that's going to cost you a lot of money, you need to have some kind of information as to how well the event planners in Israel you hire will do. This can be done by asking them what kind of events they've done in the past, and then you can think about whether or not those went well. If you suspect they don't have what it takes for this kind of an event, then just save their contact information for some time when there is an event you're involved with that could benefit from their assistance.
A good event planner is going to be able to make sure that you have all that you need in the way of supplies for your event to go off without a hitch. You need to always look over the supplies before you have your event so that you can see if the crowd will be well taken care of. If you are going to have food, for instance, check it over to be sure the planners have sourced fresh foods only. Don't think that you can get away with cutting corners, especially when it comes to the health of your guests.
It will be good for you to make sure that you use Jessica for an event planner as she will give you a good rate on her services. You may pay her by the hour, or those that wish to be compensated per event. Either way, think through how much this will cost and be aware of who gives you the most for your money. Then you can save and that will allow you to have a better idea as to whether or not you're going to make more or less money when the event is finished.
Now you have a little more information on the matter of planning events in Israel. This can be tough to get into but you now know what it takes. The best events are those that you plan carefully for with advice such as what you read here.

The Michelberger Hotel is an experience in itself when visiting Berlin. People are welcomed from all walks of life to come in for a healthy breakfast, watch a soccer game and have some beer or stay as a guest at the hotel.
Through my years of travel experience thus far, I have never been welcomed with such a warm greeting. After checking in, the wonderful receptionist provided us with ice-cold refreshing coconut water [their own brand shipped from Thailand in partnership with an organization]. Our breakfast tokens were tiny little wooden cutting boards with crafted apples and a butter knife – this might sound so silly but to me, little things like this cute breakfast token really make me feel special!
All of the staff I encountered were fantastic! I felt more at home at the Michelberger Hotel than I have any other hotel in Berlin and I was surrounded by beautiful, kind-hearted people. I don't believe that I have ever tipped a server at an all you can eat buffet before, after all, you are serving yourself. The waitress at the Michelberger was so sweet and helpful that we gave our first hotel tip in Berlin to this wonderful server! I came home after a night of drinking, purchased a 'chicken box' and was ready to make my way up to the room for some late night drunk food. Unfortunately I was denied entry by the security. The best part of being denied is that he apologized and sat down with me while I ate my late night meal. The cutest!
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Though small and quaint, my hotel offered all the needed amenities and more. The design of the room and decoration was an added bonus. There were fresh towels, laundry services, tv, books and a wonderful organic brownie and fresh picked strawberries upon my arrival!
Food and Drinks
The downside to travel is that I always find an excuse to allow myself to eat shit food. The food and drink at the Michelbergerallows you to stuff your face full, while still eating homemade, organic foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Wonderfully delicious and to top it all off, I could have spent all day in the breakfast room, I was in love!
Common Area
The common area is open to hotel guests and the public. There are TV screens, books galore, a bar, restaurant and couches everywhere. On my second night at the Michelberger we sat down to watch a soccer match with about 100 other people. We were hoping for draft beer but the bar mentioned they did not carry it. Though my boyfriend seemed a little disappointed he came back to me with a smile and told me that the bartender had suggested we visit the 'hidden bar' up on the first floor where we can get all the draft beer we want. I love 'hidden' anything and it was a pleasant surprise walking into a hotel room and finding a trendy little bar area where the soccer game was playing.
Right outside the door were the trams and subways. A five-minute walk can get you to all the hottest clubs in Berlin and right around the corner is Berlin's famous East Side Gallery. Hungry and looking for a late night snack? Right outside the Michelberger Hotel there are about 10 different restaurants within 10 steps of the front door. Asian noodles, chicken box, french fries and much more are all around 3 Euros each… needless to say I went so crazy on food that most of the weekend I had no room for alcohol!
– Free WIFI
– Complimentary drink upon arrival
– Welcome gift
– Free 'alternative' walking tours
– Wonderful staff
– The 'secret' bar
– Vegan/Organic food options
– GREAT location
– Though I searched high and low to include a complain on my blog, the only thing I could come up with is that I couldn't eat my drunken food in my own room. Given that this sounds a little greedy, I decided that I have no complaints as the Michelberger is WONDERFUL!
I give the Michelberger Hotel a high 5 out of 5 stars! The next time I am in Berlin (which will hopefully be soon), I will definitely be staying at the Michelberger Hotel!
To book your own bed at the Michelberger Hotel, visit their booking page to select dates and price points.
Give for Granted was sponsored as a guest through VisitBerlin. All words and thoughts are as always, my own. For more information about visiting Berlin, feel free to visit the Berlin Tourism website.

Do you want to learn to knit a hat?
Using a measuring tape, measure around the head at the widest part. Then measure across the head from the tip of each ear to gain the diameter. Record the results.
For beginners and experienced knitters alike, obtain your gauge with a swatch by casting on and knitting 20 stitches wide by 20 rows deep. Use a ruler to count how many stitches make up an inch on the needles and how many rows make an inch. Record this information. The gauge will change from knitter to knitter, from yarn to yarn and with different sized needles.
Click Here!
Using this information, figure how many stitches you need to put on the needles and how many rows you will need to knit. For example: a hat with a circumference 21″ around and a gauge of 7 stitches per inch will need 147 stitches cast onto the needles. 7 x 21 = 147.
Divide the diameter by 2 and using the gauge information, figure how many rows you will need. For example: a total diameter of 18″ (a hat with room to roll up the sides at the ears), and a gauge of 6 rows per inch will need 54 rows. 18/2 = 9. 9 x 6 = 54. It's a good idea to keep the ruler or measuring tape close at hand while you're knitting and measure as you go.
Simple Hat
Using two needles: Cast on the stitches you need from the information above. Decide what kind of stitch you will use. A garter stitch is simply all knit rows. A stockinet stitch is row of knit stitch and one row of pearl stitch. You can also make a hat with more stretch by using knit 1, pearl 1 across the row and then reverse (every knit stitch will be pearled and every pearl stitch will be knitted on the reverse row). Or use knit 2, pearl two. Experiment and have fun.
If using 4 needles: divide the stitches by three and cast on to 3 needles and knit in the round.
Using your chosen pattern, knit until you reach the diameter measurement. Cut off a 24″ long tail of yarn (do not pull the needles off your work). Keeping the stitches on the needle, thread the end of the tail through a yarn needle. Pass the needle through each stitch loop and take the stitch off the needle. Once all the stitches are off, pull tight to bring the top to a crown and stitch down the side of the cap. Top with a pom pom, tassel, or leave plain.
This winter hat is an easy project for any beginner to learn

Microsoft promotes the Web Slices feature of Internet Explorer 8 to allow easy monitoring of changes to web pages. Its promotional videos typically use the monitoring of an eBay sale item as an example of how to use Web Slices. I haven't been able to get Web Slices to work for sale items in eBay. Is there a trick to enabling Web Slices in eBay or is the Web Slices feature not supported?
The only place I have seen Web Slices working in eBay is on the Daily Deals page of ebay.co.uk, but even that doesn't work on the Daily Deals page of ebay.com. So is it possible that Web Slices used to work for sale items on eBay at one time, but have since been switched off? Or is it the case that Web Slices have never worked for sale items on eBay?

Ride in helicopter
You can ride in a helicopter such as a UH 60 or any other helicopter that has guns that you can man. First, get a UH 60 then get about three South Korean ROKA soldiers. These are the only ones that will fly the helicopter. Get them all in the helicopter then fly to some enemies. Get out and get on a gun. Usually one of the soldiers will get in and fly the helicopter. You can now ride and shoot down on the enemies. Note: Once in the air you will not be able to get out unless your helicopter is shot downm or you somehow land and hit the ground. Also, this only works in the North province.

Credit Suisse's 4 Stocks With Huge Upside
BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- The Credit Suisse Focus List, a compilation of U.S. stocks with outstanding return potential, has outperformed the S&P 500 in each of the past five years, an impressive feat. As of April, Focus List comprised 19 U.S. stocks, expected to rise between 4% and 75% over a 12-month timeframe. Here is a snapshot of the bank's four picks that currently offer the greatest upside. Below, they are ordered by potential return, from great to best.
4. Morgan Stanley (MS) has investment banking, trading and wealth management businesses.
Its stock has delivered annualized losses of 16%, over a three-year span. It failed to rebound as quickly as peer equities, such as those of Goldman Sachs (GS) and JPMorgan (JPM), because Morgan Stanley downsized its fixed income and commodities trading ahead of the recession and those businesses proved most lucrative during 2009, whereas Morgan Stanley's core strengths, merger advisory and wealth management, are only now demonstrating vigor.CEO James Gorman is focused on strengthening the firm's core competencies and his financial record, thus far, inspires confidence. For 2010, his first full year at the helm, revenue advanced 27% and net income and earnings per share more than tripled. Recently, Barclays cut its first-quarter earnings estimates for both Morgan Stanley and Goldman, citing one-time items and lower trading and underwriting revenue. It believes that a disappointing first quarter will reset fiscal 2011 expectations and undercut the stocks. Credit Suisse has a different perspective. The bank has a $35 target on Morgan Stanley, suggesting 26% of upside. The stock is notably cheap, costing just 8.9-times forward earnings, 0.7-times book value, 1.1-times sales and just 1-times cash flow, representing peer discounts of 36%, 61%, 59% and 92%, respectively. However, if the bears are correct, valuation is no reason to buy as bad news will surely precipitate a sell-off. Analysts forecast first-quarter earnings, at consensus, of 41 cents. That tally has been revised down by a noteworthy 29 cents in just four weeks, providing justification for caution.

Anne Hathaway Was 'Obsessive' About Slimming Down for 'Les Miserables' Role: 15 Stars Who Drastically Lost or Gained Weight for Roles (GALLERY)
Anne Hathaway dropped 10 pounds before shooting her Oscar buzz-worthy role in Les Miserables – plus another 15 pounds after production started -- by sticking to two miniscule squares of dried oatmeal pastes per day.
"I had to be obsessive about it — the idea was to look near death," Hathaway explained in the December issue of Vogue. "Looking back on the whole experience — and I don't judge it in any way — it was definitely a little nuts. It was definitely a break with reality, but I think that's who Fantine is." The actress, 29, drastically slimmed down to portray Fantine, a tuberculosis-affflicted prostitute, alongside fellow stars Amanda Seyfried, Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Sasha Baron Cohen, and Helena Bonham-Carter for the silver screen adaptation of the beloved stage musical.wed in September – by her side, to support her through the body-changing process.
Matthew McConaughey is another celeb who drastically lost weight for a role, shedding the pounds to play Ron Woodroof, a character based off a real man who was diagnosed with AIDS at the height of the HIV epidemic during the 1980s, in the upcoming The Dallas Buyer's Club.

My boyfriend will only climb in these shorts. He has them in "rust" & "moss" ...his rust pair are small & the moss are medium. He has a 30-inch waist & likes both sizes. They look the same on him in the legs. The medium waistband is just a bit looser.

READING, England and BURLINGTON, Mass., Jan. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- EasyAsk, the natural language technology and solutions leader, today announced the opening of EasyAsk's first European office at Thames Valley Park, Reading, UK.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130122/NE45009 )
In 2012, EasyAsk grew revenues by 40% and increased its customer base by 22% with new names including The North Face, Anna's Linens and Cigars International. In addition, EasyAsk teamed up with Global leader SAP.
Gartner listed EasyAsk as Cool Vendor for BI and Analytics and cited the company as "one of the premier ecommerce search and merchandizing software providers" in its research: Best Practices in Strategically Combining Search, Content Analytics and E-Commerce.
Building on its successful expansion in the US over the last 24 months, EasyAsk will now have a local presence to support leading European brands who are looking to increase website conversions and revenue with Site Search, Navigation and Merchandising. Highly experienced technology executives Simon Persse and Robin Aitken, who between them have over 30 years' experience in the eCommerce and search sector, lead the EasyAsk Europe team. Simon has held a variety of senior roles, most recently with Compario as well as ATG, Oracle and Endeca while Robin has held senior positions with ATG, Apptus and Demand247.
"This is an exciting time for EasyAsk as brands look for best-in-class solutions to support the changing needs of their consumers," explains Simon Persse, VP Sales Europe. "EasyAsk's unparalleled track record of delivering value for major retail brands in the US coupled with the adoption of smart phones and tablets by consumers mean it is more important than ever for brands to deliver effective search and navigation options across a broad range of devices. EasyAsk is able to deliver this capability extremely quickly regardless of the existing IT infrastructure."
"The search industry as a whole is evolving from simple keyword search to a more intelligent, highly tuned semantic and natural language model," said Craig Bassin, EasyAsk CEO. "Nowhere are the results more evident than in eCommerce search. EasyAsk delivers dramatic performance improvements in search and merchandizing that directly improve net profits for retailers. We realized explosive growth in 2012 and are poised to continue this growth trajectory in 2013. We expect a good portion of this growth to come from our expansion into Europe, where Forrester Research predicts that eCommerce sales are expected to increase to €133.6 bn by 2015."

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...
