I, on the other hand, did not do so great. My gi division didn't look like it was going to start until 5:00-5:30 ish, and my dad needed to get back to Kalamazoo. So, I only competed in no gi. And there was only one guy in my division. And he, as it turned out, was a much better grappler than I.
Anyways, I have all of Derek's fights and I'll post those on youtube soon. If you want, I'll post me getting my **** wrecked, too. The guy I was fighting got some pretty spactacular throws in (a double leg lift, a harai goshi, and something that ended with me being thrown off of the mat).
But yeah. All in all, I felt the tournament was poorly organized and dragged it's ass. Which is odd, because I seem to recall that they ran a pretty tight ship last year.

Tiaong has its come-ons
If there is one thing we can learn from the people of Tiaong, Quezon, it is having pride of place. Proof of that is the recent publication of "Tiaong: Coming Into Its Own," a coffee-table book written by Abe Florendo, with archival research by Dulce Festin Baybay and Dr. Luis C. Dery.
The book shows what modern-day Tiaong, around 100 km south of Metro Manila, has to offer—tourist spots, and even the basics, such as real estate prices, social and educational services, infrastructure.
The book also has the town's origins—pre-Spanish-colonial rule, the turmoil it went through in the Spanish, American and Japanese eras, and its significant role in the wars against these regimes.
It's a history book and travelogue in one colorful, informative package, showcasing what and why Tiaong is the way it is today.
Cris Aquino, a Tiaongin and founder of the Lubid-Lubid Foundation who spearheaded the creation of this book, writes in the introduction: "Tiaong, and the people of Tiaong, deserve a book like this. A book on and for Tiaongins by Tiaongins."
Chapters are devoted to exactly that—the people of Tiaong.
There is Claro M. Recto, father of the 1935 Philippine Constitution; General Ye Fei, a Chinese-Filipino war hero in China, but who was born and named Sixto Tiongco in Tiaong to Yap Uy and Francisca Mercado (his is one of the more touching stories); Don Ado Escudero, who built the well-known resort Villa Escudero; potter Ugu Bigyan; and prominent families like the Escuetas and Umalis.
Sixto Tiongco, at age 75, was invited in 1989 by then President Cory Aquino to visit his hometown for two weeks. He had a reunion with his siblings, who had no idea of Tiongco's accomplishments during the 70 years they were apart. Tiongco was also able to visit his mother's grave.
Featured, too, are some of the town's noted farmers, entrepreneurs, merchants, industrialists.
The book took years to finish, says Baybay, who completed research in one year. "There was a purpose," she says. "Cris (Aquino) wanted to know the exact date of the founding."
They found out that Tiaong, then called Nayum, became a visita ("a village with a chapel where services were periodically performed by a visiting priest") in 1600; although before that, there was already a settlement ruled by the "Gats," relatives of native royal families.
Aside from archival research, Baybay says she and author Florendo went around Tiaong to interview "old-timers."
"We had to catch them at their most lucid moments," she says. "Kung makulit sila on a certain topic, siguro totoo na yun (If they are consistent about a certain topic, then it could be true)."
Folk stories are also a good source, says Baybay, and the book has its fair share. One legend, for example, is about the town's name, "Tiaong." According to the folktale, a wealthy, generous, religious lady named Doña Tating was well-loved in the village. People fondly called her "Tia," which means "aunt."
The priest would always wait for Tia's arrival in church before starting morning Mass; people would know she was near when they heard the sound of her bull's "oong." It is said that the town's name came from the combination of these two words, "tia" and "oong."
There is also the mystery of the paksol, or foxhole, an unfinished tunnel dug during the Japanese rule through forced labor. Today it is covered in an overgrowth of vegetation, but stories say that hidden in it are treasures stored by General Yamashita and his soldiers; or that it was a dumpsite for people killed by the Japanese.
There are the old houses—the Hernandez ancestral home on Don Vicente Robles St., and the Cease-Conty home on Alabastro corner Recto.
There are interesting modern houses you can view, with permission from owners. Among these are Dr. Godofredo Stuart's Mediterranean-inspired "villa," and the "Filipino-rustic contemporary-style" home of Bobcat dealer Danny Mea.
Potter Ugu Bigyan's house and studio is open to the public; it is also his shop and showroom. Give him advanced notice and he'll treat you to a gourmet lunch or dinner.
For the adventure-seekers and eco tourists, Tiaong has its Mainit Spring, where tourists can dip in sulfuric water, which many believe can cure body aches and pains. Florendo describes the trek to the springs, however, as one that is not for "timid people," since one has to trek 10-15 minutes (in mud, if one is unfortunate enough to encounter rain), and then cross a "swaying steel bridge."
"Our advice to extreme sports enthusiasts," writes Florendo, "go for it."
Tikub Lake is another spot for adventurers who would want to discover a thriving ecosystem of bayawak, alimos, monkeys and different species of birds.
"Tiaong: Coming Into Its Own" has photos by Donald Tapan and Ramon Jeffrey Florendo. Design director is Teody V. Hidalgo, who is Tiaongin.
In many ways, the book is part of the legacy of the Lubid-Lubid Foundation, which started the Lubid-Lubid Festival in 2002. It was a "blueprint" created for the town fiesta in honor of St. John the Baptist.
Aquino wanted a fiesta to showcase the best of Tiaong through different activities. He used the term lubid to reinforce the values of strength and unity.
As more and more people discover the book, Baybay hopes that it "will start a trend on [writing about] local history."

Fit right on my inflatable kayak super easy and very durable. Make kayak stay in line!
Best Uses
Daughter and granddaughters went out just about every day we were on vacation, now they want to use it on a small lake near home. May have to get another one!!
Best Uses
It fits on the back of my kayak. Acts like a rudder. It is easy to put on. Can't find anything wrong with it. actually better than I thought it would be.
Best Uses
Works great! Before adding the skeg, it was hard to keep my kayak tracking a straight line in slow moving waters. With the skeg, it tracks straight and true. Only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner.
One note-- install it before the kayak is inflated. And figure out which end is front before installation.

Originally, the towers provided light via a carbon arc lamp, which was then a new technology. Over the years, the towers have gradually been upgraded. Today, all towers use 6,400-watt mercury vapor bulbs, and their lighting is fully automated.

Dozens of Greenpeace activists shut down Shell's sand oil mining fields at Alberta, Canada on Tuesday to draw attention to their protests. The company has started mining tar sands in the region for extracting oil. Activists say that the greenhouse gas emissions in keeping the project running far outweigh the benefits.
A Greenpeace protest shut down Royal Dutch Shell Plc's massive oil sands mine on Tuesday on the eve of Prime Minister Stephen Harper's visit with President Barack Obama.
Two dozen Greenpeace members chained themselves to giant earth-moving equipment, shutting down Shell's massive Albian Sands oil sands mine in northwestern Alberta for several hours.
Shell temporarily suspended operations to ensure the safety of the activists and of Shell staff, while it negotiated with the protesters.
Alberta's oil sands projects have been criticized as a growing source of greenhouse gas emissions.
Shell and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police were eager to see a peaceful end to the demonstration as it stretched on through most of the day. Shell spokesman Paul Hagel said the company invited the protesters to unchain themselves and come to a nearby office to discuss their concerns. Shell also offered them food, water and bug spray.
RCMP Constable Karolina Malik said the protesters were very polite, so there was no rush to cut the chains or make arrests.
But Greenpeace resisted Shell's attempts to negotiate an end to the protest. Mike Hudema, one of the Greenpeace leaders who chained himself to a massive dump truck, said they wanted to send a message to world leaders on the environmental damage being caused by giant oil sands projects.
"To send a very strong message to President Obama and Prime Minister Harper that climate leaders don't buy tarsands," he said.
Harper visits the White House on Wednesday. He is eager to protect the oil sands industry, which has spurred a booming economy in western Canada in recent years.
Environmental groups want Obama to get tough with Canada over the issue, but the president wants to reduce America's reliance on Middle East oil and has said he would like to work with Canada on developing carbon capture and storage to help deal with the massive emissions from the sands as well as the U.S. coal industry. The new, largely unproven technology would bury harmful emissions underground.
Harper said in Parliament on Wednesday that the U.S. coal industry is 40 times bigger than the output of the oil sands. Harper also noted the oil sands are a huge source of jobs in Canada and said they are working with the Obama administration on a clean energy dialogue.
Industry officials estimate the oil sands in northern Alberta could yield as much as 175 billion barrels of oil, making Canada second only to Saudi Arabia in crude oil reserves. But the extraction process produces a high amount of the greenhouse gases blamed for climate change and critics say the growing operations by also threaten Alberta's rivers and forest.

It is a heavenly place well worth the climb. Northern Michigan is a place I could easily call home, and hope to visit again before summer's end. Who knew water as crystal clear as the sea existed in the Midwest?

FlightView Releases Newest Visual Displays for Airport Terminals
The most accurate and actionable airport information displays just got easier to read. FlightView's(R) immediate release of Displays v1.1 makes terminals a little more civilized with state-of-the-art real-time flight information that passengers can view, understand and act upon as they battle increased costs, delays and inconvenience.
FlightView's Displays v1.1 gives travelers the opportunity to see for themselves where their flights are and what weather conditions or other airport delays may be preventing them from arriving on time. With easy to interpret color schemes and crisper icons, the displays create a visual picture of what's happening in the sky. The new airport displays go beyond the standard flight information displays that list arrivals and departures, providing both informative and entertaining high-resolution maps showing ever-changing airport delays and weather conditions across the country.
"More than 200 airports depend on us for trusted information that's easy for their customers to understand and interpret," said Michael Benjamin, CEO of FlightView. "Air travel is a difficult experience for even for the most seasoned traveler and airports understand that information goes a long way to ease the pain of travel."
The upgrade includes three major feature enhancements:
The new Airport Delay Module illustrates airport delays at all major US and Canadian airports for both arrivals and departures. Airports experiencing no delays are highlighted in green; minor delays are labeled in yellow and those with major delays appear in red. The module includes an optional radar weather overlay, allowing customers to quickly recognize when weather is impacting flight schedules.
Improved Visual Components including city and airport labels, airport icons and flight tags have been enhanced for clarity and increased readability. The new treatments reduce visual clutter at highly trafficked airports. Customers can easily identify their individual flight on the air traffic map. Airports have many options for tagging information – and can choose the format that best fits the view they provide, from simple flight numbers for congested airports to codeshare information for midsize and smaller airports.
Enhanced Zooming Capabilities deliver a more engaging look and feel as the images smoothly shift automatically to showcase local, regional and national views.
FlightView Displays v1.1 is available now from FlightView and its partners. Live demonstrations of the product can be seen at the ACI/ World/North America Conference & Exhibition Booth 1225.

We were in Tulsa for 5 weeks (work related), and housing was hard to come by. We were so glad to find this place. Maria was really accessible and responsive. Her dad, who manages the house itself, was close by and very willing to work with us as needed. Overall, the experience was really fun! We grilled a lot in the spacious backyard and we were so close to downtown and all of the fun, up and coming eateries. This was a really great place to stay.
Maria was a terrific landlord, easily accessible and fixed any problems almost immediately. House is very cute and comfortable and it was well stocked with anything we could have needed (cleaning supplies, dishes, towels, etc.). We chose this house based on the comfortable living room décor and the whole house was well decorated, we would not have hesitated to bring friends over to visit. Neighborhood is friendly and we got to know several neighbors by name during our stay. We felt totally safe and comfortable walking through the neighborhood in the evenings and waving hi to others walking or gardening. There is also a terrific, large backyard and front porch for warm summer/fall evenings or cooking out on the grill. And it's location meant pretty much everything was only a fifteen minute drive away, with Target, Reasor's grocery store and almost a dozen restaurants within a mile.
I would definitely stay again!
Myself and 2 other media representatives for the bass fishing industry stayed at this house for the Bassmaster Classic. It's was clean, nice and very comfortable. It's in a nice quiet area, I don' think we saw another person in the area all week.
It's in a great location in terms of getting around Tulsa as well. It's literally walking distance to the expo/fairgrounds. It is about 5-7 minutes from the convention center and only about 3-4 miles from the airport.
I would recommend this place to anyone looking for somwhere to stay in Tulsa!
We stayed for Thanksgiving while our boys were racing at the Expo center. The owner was very helpful, easy to communicate with and very willing to work with me. The house was perfect for our stay, so close to the Expo center and very comfortable. We would love to come back to this house for the next race in Tulsa!!!
It was nice and clean. The house was comfortable and adequate for my needs while on a business trip. The owner was very helpful, easy to communicate with and very willing to work with me.
We were very pleased with this rental home. Perfect location (we were in Tulsa for a horse show and my Husband and son were able to walk to the Expo Center, after we had left early in the morning), Beds, bathroom and kitchen were spotlessly clean, and it felt very homely. The listing described the home exactly, and the location is also perfect for anyone visiting Tulsa in general. Very close to downtown, and with loads of restaurants and shops close by. We would love to stay here in again next year, assuming it is still for rent!

FOX Sports Exclusive
Dodgers new Yankees in MLB
INDIAN WELLS, Calif.
Teams cannot be trusted when they say they are "out" on certain players, but the Rangers are fairly insistent that they will not trade one of their two young shortstops, Elvis Andrus or Jurickson Profar, for Diamondbacks right fielder Justin Upton.
See what charity this represents, see the bow ties Ken has worn and learn about BowTie Cause.
If that is indeed the case — and if the Rangers cannot find some other way to structure a deal for Upton — then the Rays might emerge as the front-runner, according to rival executives.
The Rays could satisfy the Diamondbacks' desire to add a top-of-the-rotation starter by offering right-hander James Shields or right-hander Jeremy Hellickson. They also could fill the D-backs' need for a shortstop by offering a top prospect, Hak-Ju Lee.
One exec said that Shields and Lee actually would be too much to give for Upton, indicating that the D-backs would need to part with additional talent. Where it all goes, no one knows for sure. Some rival execs still aren't convinced the Diamondbacks will even trade Upton, but others believe he's a goner.
The Rays, though, are now free to mount a serious pursuit of Upton if they choose to go in that direction. They could not have afforded both Justin and his older brother, B.J., but B.J. rejected the team's qualifying offer on Friday.
It's amazing how teams now fear the Dodgers the way they once feared the Yankees. Executives pursuing certain free agents ask reporters if the Dodgers are interested in those players. If the answer is yes, the execs know they pretty much have no chance to be the high bidder.
SHAKEN AND STIRREDRelive the most exciting moments of the MLB postseason so far.
Case in point: Kevin Youkilis.
The White Sox and Phillies are interested in Youkilis, according to major league sources. The Indians and Cubs also are reported to be possibilities. But an official from one of those clubs expressed concern that the Dodgers might want Youk — and as it turns out, they are indeed considering signing him.
Youkilis, 33, would fit the Dodgers only under certain circumstances: If Hanley Ramirez ends up at shortstop and not third, if third baseman Luis Cruz becomes more of a super-utilityman, or if the Dodgers are resigned to sending Dee Gordon back to Triple A, perhaps for an entire season.
The Dodgers also have Nick Punto and Jerry Hairston Jr. as versatile utility types, and Juan Uribe — ahem — is under contract for one more season. Youk, then, probably doesn't fit — unless the Dodgers view him as their best possibility at third and as a right-handed hitting option at first.
They're thinking about it. That alone is cause for rival clubs to shudder.
On Thursday night, the GMs dined in luxury at the home of Nationals owner Ted Lerner in Rancho Mirage, Calif.
SPRING FEVERMiss baseball already? There's plenty going on. Mark your calendar with these important offseason dates.
The artwork, the reflecting pools — let's just say the GMs were impressed.
"After seeing that place," one GM said, "I think they're getting both (Josh) Hamilton and (Zack) Greinke."
The Nationals are still engaged in a dispute with the Orioles over the television rights fee that they receive from the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network. Both clubs own the network, but the Orioles' stake is nearly 90 percent.
Nats GM Mike Rizzo said the ongoing dispute will not limit the team's ability to spend this offseason. The Nats received $29 million from MASN in 2011; they want number to increase to more than $100 million.
The Reds make no secret of their desire to land a closer — they want to add one so that they can move Aroldis Chapman to the rotation, and are considering free agents such as Jonathon Broxton, Joakim Soria and Ryan Madson.
The Angels, under GM Jerry Dipoto, take almost a completely different view — one shared by many statistical analysts, who espouse the idea that virtually any reliever can close.
LEATHER GOODSWho are the best defensive players at each position? Take a look at this year's Gold Glove winners.
Dipoto points to the top 15 saves leaders last season, saying that teams did not expect many of the pitchers on that list to end up as their closers.
The examples include the Orioles' Jim Johnson, Rays' Fernando Rodney and White Sox's Addison Reed; Mariners' Tom Wilhelmsen, Red Sox's Alfredo Aceves and Blue Jays' Casey Janssen — and don't forget the Angels' own Ernesto Frieri.
The Angels are committed to Frieri, Scott Downs, Kevin Jepsen and Jordan Walden for four of their seven bullpen spots next season. Dipoto is not concerned with finding a pure closer, though he could trade for the Indians' Chris Perez or sign Japanese free-agent Kyuji Fujikawa.
The way Dipoto sees it, he'll acquire the best bullpen arms he can find, and the Angels will figure out the rest.
The Cubs, as everyone knows, have not won the World Series since 1908. But the question now is more basic: How long will it take for the front office to build another contender?
Pretty long, it appears.
The Cubs' two best players, first baseman Anthony Rizzo and shortstop Starlin Castro, will play next season at 23, several years away from their primes.
KINGS OF THE HILLThe postseason brought out the best in these pitching miracle workers.
The team's top prospects — shortstop Javier Baez and outfielders Jorge Soler and Albert Almora — are years away from the majors.
And the pitching, well, it still has a long way to go.
The Cubs currently are mulling over free-agent starters, seeking the same types of bargains that they found last offseason with outfielder David DeJesus, who signed a two-year, $10 million deal. (Think Brandon McCarthy, Shaun Marcum, etc.)
The team could become more aggressive in the open market next offseason, seeking to put future pieces in place. But the top projected free agents — New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano, Boston Red Sox center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury, et al — will draw interest from more competitive clubs.
The new restrictions on amateur spending wrecked Theo Epstein's plan to build through the draft. As Epstein learned in Boston, free agency isn't always the answer.
• One rival executive predicts that free-agent right-hander Dan Haren will sign with the Padres. Staying on the West Coast is important to Haren, the exec says. Padres GM Josh Byrnes traded for Haren during his previous tenure with the D-backs.
• A Red Sox official says of free-agent first baseman Adam LaRoche: "Like him. Don't love him." LaRoche, a free agent, spent nine days with the Sox in 2009.
• Free-agent relievers Soria and Madson are both coming off Tommy John surgery. Soria will not be ready at the start of the season, but Madson will be set to return. If the Reds sign Soria, they would simply piece together the ninth inning for as long as necessary.
• The White Sox, if they re-sign Youkilis, could play him at first as well at third in an effort to keep him healthy. Youkilis was bothered by a sore right knee after joining the team on July 31, essentially playing on one leg.

My Rating
We had to wait for almost an hour at the airport to be collected and then it took a further hour and a half to get to the hotel (not due to traffic but to other people being picked up and dropped off - this wasn't expected as the description of the service on the viator site isn't clear) We were expecting to arrive at the hotel for 8pm but didn't get there until 9.30 meaning there was less time available to enjoy the evening, to go for a meal etc - it makes a difference when you are only in a city for a few days. Would not use this again.

Cardinals no-hit by Santana in Beltran's NY return
The no-hitter was part of a whirlwind return for Beltran, who had a rocky tenure in New York from 2005-11 that included several outstanding seasons and one momentous strikeout.
"I felt personally, in the years that I was healthy, I had my best years in baseball," he said.
Moments before the first pitch of a four-game series, the Mets played a 1-minute video tribute to Beltran on the big scoreboard in center field. In the dugout, he smiled and tipped his cap.
When he came to bat in the first inning, Beltran received mostly cheers from the sparse crowd, save for a handful of boos and catcalls. He shattered his bat on a foul ball and struck out against Santana, his old pal.
"I have a lot of friends here that I really miss," Beltran said.
Sitting in the St. Louis dugout hours before the game, Beltran answered questions (in two languages) from a media mob for 20 minutes. He hosted a charity event in New York on Thursday night, an off day for both teams, that was attended by Santana, Mets manager Terry Collins and trainer Ray Ramirez.
Beltran said he really enjoyed his 6 1/2 seasons with the Mets after signing a $119 million, seven-year contract in January 2005 that brought with it the weight of lofty expectations. He only wishes he could have been healthy the entire time and helped the team win a championship.
The Mets came close in 2006, when Beltran took a called third strike with the bases loaded to end Game 7 of the NL championship series against St. Louis. Some fans in New York haven't forgiven him.
"If that's what they want to remember, that's them. I can't control that," Beltran said. "I just wish I could have done different. It didn't happen."
It was a pivotal moment for both franchises. The Cardinals went on to win the World Series that season and again last year. The Mets collapsed down the stretch in 2007 and 2008, and haven't been back to the playoffs.
With the Mets trailing 3-1 and fans on their feet at a rocking Shea Stadium, Beltran froze on a nasty curveball from Wainwright, a rookie closer in October 2006. In a fitting twist, Wainwright started Friday night for the Cardinals and Beltran was back in center field for the first time since 2010 because of injuries to teammates Jon Jay and Skip Schumaker.
Beltran, a three-time Gold Glove winner in center with the Mets, graciously moved to right before the 2011 season to ease the strain on his surgically repaired knees and make way for speedy protege Angel Pagan.
Looking toward the future and with Beltran in the final season of his deal, New York shipped him to San Francisco just a few days before last year's trade deadline for top pitching prospect Zack Wheeler. And that was the end of Beltran's time in New York.
"Sometimes I do miss it, sometimes I don't. Being honest," Beltran said. "I consider my time here a life experience for me."
Wheeler is throwing well at Double-A Binghamton, while Beltran is off to a great start with his new team. After signing a $26 million, two-year contract with the Cardinals in December, he began the night batting .294 with 42 RBIs and an NL-best 15 homers. He ranks among the league leaders in several categories.
"I think he's one of the most efficient players I've ever seen," Matheny said. "I think in every aspect he's been a huge part of what's becoming the makeup of this team."

BOG CREEK. Bog Creek, also known as Hog Creek, rises two miles north of East Mountain in southeastern Upshur County (at 32°37' N, 94°52' W) and flows northeast for seven miles to its mouth on Clear Creek, two miles northwest of Bethlehem (at 32°41' N, 94°49' W). The stream is intermittent in its upper reaches. It traverses rolling terrain surfaced by moderately deep to deep clayey sand that supports mixed hardwood and pine forests and grasses.

Miami-Dade Starts Building Bigger Animal Shelter
Stray animals in Miami-Dade county will soon have a new home come fall of 2015. County Animal Services broke ground Friday on a new facility that would double the amount of space it has now.
Every year, Animal Services cares for more than 27,000 homeless dogs and cats, but that volume has pushed the current facility to its capacity.
Getting to this point, though, has been a bit of a battle.
In 2012, 65 percent of voters supported increasing the property tax rate to provide additional funding for animal services. That financial boost would have allowed the county to implement a no-kill policy, but Mayor Carlos Gimenez did not accommodate the $19 million Animal Services administrators asked for in the budget.
Commissioner Jose "Pepe" Diaz sponsored the county's no-kill ordinance back in 2012. Even though the county is not yet a no-kill zone, he's sees this new shelter as a crucial stepping stone in the right direction.
"We're doing everything: spay, neutering and education," he says, "all the things that are needed. But this is a big part of it because once you have this center working full thrust… it will just make it all come together."
The facility will include features like individual pens and ventilation systems to prevent the spread of disease as well as a dedicated adoption area.

The HP Envy 14 Spectre is an eye-catching ultrabook, and as our teardown shows, it's well-built, has solid hardware, and is easy to work on. But, it's also heavier and thicker than many other ultrabooks and more expensive. Bill Detwiler cracks open the Spectre and gives you a look inside.
For a detailed analysis of the teadown, check out my article and video, HP Spectre Teardown: Eye-catching, but overpriced ultrabook.
[newsletter id=e130 copy=Automatically_sign_up_for_our_Cracking_Open_newsletter!]
Positive Point + Keyboard & Touchpad Good to touch + Long battery life + High-quality speaker with ???beats-audio??? + Good reflective display Negative Point - Only have 1 USB 2.0 Port - Heavier weight than other ultrabook You can see more detail at HP envy 14 specter reviews >> www.ultrabookprice.net

The Neighbourhood: Introduction and Interview
Today, I have the great task of introducing you to the sure-to-be hit band, The Neighbourhoods. Hailing from California, this band has taken a similar plot line to Lana Del Rey and The Weeknd, remaining mysterious and captivating music fans of any and every genre with their pure sound and Prince-like mystique. With a mellow drum beat to keep their tracks going (so far), The Neighbourhood has legitimately captured the ears of the entirety of the music-listening community as they get set to release their debut EP, I'm Sorry, on May 7th, 2012. Having included "Sweater Weather" on one of my more recent playlists, I just can't get enough of their music, which has become a staple to the soundtrack to my life. Read on below for my interview with the mysterious crew and revel in the splendour, also known as The Neighbourhood.
PremierLife: Who are you (members/band/where you're from)?
The Neighbourhood: The Neighbourhood from Newbury Park, California
PL: How did The Neighbourhood come to be?
TN: We are all best friends, we hang out every day, we all play music, it just made sense
PL: Being the most hyped up and coming band of the summer, what can we expect to see soon?
TN: Our EP is out May 7th and we will be touring throughout the summer. We have more music coming later this year
PL: With only two songs floating around the internet, "Sweater Weather" and "Female Robbery," should the world be anticipating the upcoming EP, I'm Sorry, to be along the lines of those songs?
TN: Definitely man.
PL: Who are some musical acts you'd like to bump into and possibly collaborate with in years to come?
TN: We are just focused on our own shit right now
PL: Where do you start when making a song? Lyrics? or Instrumentals? How do you know when what you've got is good?
TN: It all typically starts with a drum beat. And then we layer everything on top. We know its good when all five of us are happy with it.
PL: What do you draw on for inspiration, lyrically?
TN: The melody is created first and is always priority. The lyrics come off the top of my head.
PL: Do you truly know how much buzz the band has received on an international or do you hold the life lesson that Kanye put in verse, "You never know what you got 'til it's gone," true?
TN: Yes we aware of the buzz internationally, it all started offshore with NME and Zane Lowe
PL: On twitter, we had a conversation about "recording only what you can perform live." What is the limit (genre-wise) for The Neighbourhood?
TN: I don't see what genre necessarily has to do with that. But yes, an artist should always be able to perform their songs live. I believe the talk we had was about vocal performance.
PL: What are your plans for the rest of 2012?
TN: Same as above… Our EP is out May 7th and we will be touring throughout the summer. We have more music coming later this year and we will be in Europe later in the year
PL: How far have you come since 2011?
TN: A million miles

What's so good?
By Ron Swanson | May 17, 2012 | Total plays: 14,391
The debut track and namesake from the series "Are You Free" is a blundered frenzy of pop and fuzz, built around Jhameel's emotional vocals that strike with enough vigor to wake up Snorlax.

Damn, I gotta wait until October to go see her.
Great game. Think I might replay it now.
I liked the first movie so I'm pretty excited about this. Love me some mechs and kaiju.
Yeah I hate Steam Summer Sales...I always end up broke and with more games than i'll ever play.
Tron Legacy
Where the Wild Things Are
Pretty much all Disney musicals (specially Frozen)
Pick of Destiny
American Psycho
Yes, definitely check out a later season.
try these:
the first number is the season number and the second is the episode number:
3.12 – Nightsisters
3.13 – Monster
I too liked Into Darkness. Maybe it's just because how much I love Wrath of Khan, but I thought it was a great movie, though it did have it's flaws.
I loooooooove me some Johnny Cash.
Also like some Hank Williams Sr, Hank III, David Allen Coe.
Yeah, Odenkirk is great. Mr.Show is probably my favorite sketch comedy.
Even when the show does become amazing though I wouldn't say the dialogue is all that great, I mean it's a Star Wars show, Star Wars was never known for great dialogue. I'd say it's probably a little...
Which Clone Wars did you watch? The one hand drawn animated one from 2003 or the cg animated recent one? The new show is the one everyone says is amazing..But even then, I've said it numerous times...
Probably not, but there are plenty of talented people who never get famous or well known. Was the dude an amazing musician? No, but he wasn't 100% talentless either. He wrote some really good pop...
No, he wasn't. Check out The Jabbers or some of his acoustic stuff.
I wouldn't say he was a poser at all, he was in punk bands and didn't do crazy **** on stage for a quite a while before he started doing it. I would say he started to because yeah he wanted...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMSWRT6ynhs NSFW, dude's naked and rubs **** on himself
