Die Adresse ist sehr verkehrsgünstig angebunden. 30mins nach Mannhattan. Das Zimmer war ok, Bad und Küche ebenfalls. Auf Newyorker Verhältnisse war der Preis akzeptabel.

The room was small and ugly and one of the bathrooms was with less water and a lot of mod on the ceiling (and related bad smell).
Rafaela seems gently, but she has difficulty with English. We spoke by phone with another woman that was really unpleasant and screamed with us all the time.
When we arrived in the build, another woman got us the room, and she was kind and nice.
The position was 30 minutes from lower Manhattan by subway and around 45-50 for the Central Park.
The parking in the street was free and easy to find.
The premises were clean and well taken care of. Beds were surprisingly comfortable considering that I am nether short or light.
Apartment is situated in easy distance (three blocks) to two metro lines running to Manhattan, yet still in a quiet area close to supermarkets and other necessity stores.
The host was kind and helpful with all our inquiries.
Alles gut geklapt
Llegamos y nos estaban esperando. Nos enseñaron las instalaciones y todo muy bien. La casa siempre calentita, la habitacion cómoda, para dormir perfecto, pues solo ibamos a la casa para eso y no necesitamos más. Los baños limpios y agua caliente a cualquier hora. Todo muy bien y sin ningun problema.
It was great value for the money (December, 440 €/week.). Still I would not take my new girlfriend to this place. People were friendly in this area. Many did not speak english. J and M go fast to Manhattan. Buy 7 day card even if you stay less than week.
It is necessary to confirm with Rafaela and Wimdu that all payments are in the price. Windu will help fast with host problems.
It is exactly what the ad says. A small room, basic, but clean room. A nice clean shower and a kitchen that you can use. Rafaela is very nice and a very nice host. Even though I had to leave really early, that wasn´t a problem. It´s low/budget, but that location is great and for this price you can´t ask for more. Lower Manhattan is a 30-minute travel and it will take you an hour to go to 42nd street/Times Square.
Lo peor que me ha pasado.
Vía Wimdu hice una reserva para estar en New York entre el 19 y el 27 de noviembre.
Desde el mismo día que hice la reserva, me comunique para cancelarla, tanto con la anfitriona como con la firma Wimdu.
La señora anfitriona antes de confirmar me ofreció otra habitación de mayor valor. Insistí en la cancelación. Es más, ofrecí desde el día 19 de noviembre que se hiciera la cancelación y se descontarán dos días para subsanar la situación. Wimdu se comunico con la señora anfitriona a quien no conocí y cuyo alojamiento nunca utilice.
Mi ánimo siempre fue el de conciliar, es más, pedí ayuda, la anfitriona dejo pasar los días, escribió diciéndome que debía ir allí y que no había reembolso y sólo hasta el 25 me contestaron de Wimdu, diciéndome que esta señora no aceptaba ningún acuerdo y que tomaba abusivamente, pues nunca hice uso de esta habitación, la totalidad de mi dinero.
Nunca estuve allí en este sitio, avise desde antes de iniciar la reserva, ofrecí que se tomarán dos días como atención a la cancelación de tal forma que se pudiera liberar la habitación, cancelar la reserva y reembolsarme el resto de mi dinero.
No paso nada y Windu, solo me respondió que podía dejar un comentario.
appartamento datato
bagno cieco condiviso
manutenzione scarsa
ma il problema maggiore e' stato l'accoglienza, abbiamo atteso il suo arrivo per due ore finche' un altro ospite ci ha aperto e chiamato la proprietaria che non siamo riusciti a contattare telefonicamente nonostante l'avviso del nostro arrivo segnalato via email . La figlia e' poi arrivata dopo circa 10 minuti ma nonostante l'ora tarda la stanza era ancora da rifare ( h21).
We had a very lovely stay, room is small but sufficient, comfy bed, everything in the house is clean, nice kitchen and bathroom. Communication with Rafaela went very well, she is really nice. Neighborhood is also ok, it is close to 2 metro stations and there are at least 3 shops very close to the house.

Additional Information
Fundación Leon 2000This loan is administered by Fundación Leon 2000. Fundación Leon 2000 began operations in 1993 as the first microfinance institution to serve the western part of Nicaragua, a country which continues to be one of the poorest in the western hemisphere. Fundación Leon 2000 works to further the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises through credit services and management, applying the best credit industry practices and technical expertise. Additionally, Fundación Leon manages several business and financial education programs in the community, specifically for young entrepreneurs and at-risk youth.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

PUBLISHED August 15, 2014 0 1 / 10 A Toothy Grin The toothy maw of a great white shark has populated the terrified fantasies of many a beachgoer. But these intelligent predators have been hammered hard by people over the years. Targeted for the shark fin trade, illegally hunted, and caught as bycatch in abandoned fishing gear, great white shark populations have been in decline for decades. There is some hope, though. Protections at the state and national levels have helped relieve the pressure on great white shark populations. Recent studies have noted an uptick in white shark numbers along the West and East Coasts of the U.S. (See "Great White Sharks Thriving in U.S. Waters.") —Jane J. Lee Photograph by David Doubilet, National Geographic Creative Whitetip Says Hello An oceanic whitetip shark near the Bahamas passes a diver and looks right into the camera. This species is distributed around the world in tropical and subtropical waters. They are also listed as vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. Female oceanic whitetips bear live young after a 10- to 12-month pregnancy, rather than laying eggs. Both males and females mature when they reach four or five years of age. (Watch a video with photographer Brian Skerry talking about how he got this shot.) Photograph by Brian Skerry, National Geographic Creative Baby Picture The Japanese swellshark (Cephaloscyllium umbratile), also known as the blotchy swellshark, lives in the northwest Pacific Ocean near the coasts of Japan and Korea, and in the Yellow Sea by China and Taiwan. Females lay eggs in which the young develop attached to a yolk sac (round object on right side of egg case). Photograph by David Doubilet, National Geographic Creative A Prickly Snout The Tasmanian sawshark belongs to a group of sharks known for their deadly looking snouts. Sawsharks can be confused with sawfishes, which also have elongated noses lined with sharp spikes. Sawfishes are actually a kind of ray and, on average, grow to be much larger than sawsharks. Sawsharks can grow to only about five feet (1.5 meters) in length. Sawfishes also lack barbels, the thick whisker-like appendages hanging from the underside of the sawshark's nose (pictured above). (See "'Rapier Wielding' Shark Among New Species Found in 2011.") Photograph by David Doubilet, National Geographic Creative Hammer Time The great hammerhead—considered endangered by the IUCN Red List—is the largest of the nine hammerhead shark species. It can grow to be 20 feet (6.1 meters) in length and weigh up to a thousand pounds (453.5 kilograms). Photograph by Brian Skerry, National Geographic Creative Ghost Net This thresher shark is the unlucky victim of abandoned fishing gear. Many such nets, called ghost nets, roam the ocean, continually catching animals long after people have stopped hauling in their bounty. Animals such as sharks, sea turtles, and marine mammals can become entangled in these nets. The air-breathers, like the sea turtles and mammals, will drown if they can't get loose, while animals like sharks fight to get free until they succumb to exhaustion. Photograph by Brian Skerry, National Geographic Creative Tiger in Blue A 12-foot (3.7-meter) tiger shark roams the waters off Tiger Beach in the Bahamas. These sharks, like the female above, get their name from the stripes the juveniles bear that resemble stripes on the large cats. Tiger sharks are one of the larger species of sharks, capable of growing more than 18 feet (5.5 meters) long. They can also be quite prolific: Litters range between 35 and 55 pups. Photograph by Brian Skerry, National Geographic Creative Silky Sharks Silky sharks and yellowtail snappers swirl through the Caribbean Sea near Cuba. Silky sharks are targeted in long-line and gill-net fisheries around the world, and can also be caught as bycatch by tuna fleets. They are considered "near threatened" by the IUCN Red List. Photograph by David Doubilet, National Geographic Creative Nurse Sharks Nurse sharks bump into one another while swimming in the Hol Chan Marine Reserve near Belize. Although these sharks are often found on the seafloor, they are quite capable of swimming up into the water column. They hunt for food at night, sucking up prey including small fish, crustaceans, octopuses, and squid. Photograph by Brian Skerry, National Geographic Creative Greenland Monster The Greenland shark—the world's slowest swimming shark—cruises beneath some sea ice near Baffin Island in Canada. Their pace doesn't seem to hamper them when they go looking for a meal. Studies have shown that Greenland sharks are able to sneak up on sleeping seals in order to catch them. (See "Slow Sharks Sneak Up on Sleeping Seals (and Eat Them?)") Their ability to catch seals is even more impressive when you consider that some of them are partly blind. A parasitic crustacean called a copepod burrows into the shark's eyes (brown tassel in the picture above), hanging half in and half out of the organ. The copepod's swinging body damages the shark's corneas.

Katrina Scatters New Orleans' Musicians
Hear the Music
For New Orleans, music is both a way of life and an industry. Now, the people who make up that industry are scattered in different parts of the country. Some of them lost everything, including their instruments, to Hurricane Katrina.
Elizabeth Blair reports on how the music community is trying to keep track of its own through benefits, the Internet and word of mouth. Web posts offer updates on local music scene figures such as Vasti Jackson, Irma Thomas and Charmaine Neville. As for the ReBirth Brass Band, all nine members lost their homes and have fled to Houston, Baton Rouge and Dallas.
Now, displaced musicians who made a living performing and recording in New Orleans are stuck without sources of income. Several groups are working to help musicians by finding them clothes, housing, instruments and gigs.

On another board I am a member of a woman was telling a story about her son accepting Jesus.Ā He is very young around 5ish.Ā To make the story short her and her two children were playing and they started talking about Jesus and how to go to heaven.Ā The little boy asked how and was told by asking for forgivness of sin and accepting Jesus into your heart.Ā The boy said oh ok and said a prayer.Ā Now the woman believes her son is saved.Ā Now my question to you ladies is this: Do you believe this is true salvation?Ā I mean he's 5.Ā Can he possibly now what he was doing?Ā Another woman commented that she accepted the Lord when she was 3, she said she didn't rememeber doing it but her mom told her she did.Ā This seems odd to me.Ā Maybe it's because I didn't grow up being taught about God and Salvation but this doesn't seem quite right.Ā How can you ask forgivness of sin when you don't have the mental capacity to know what sin truely is?
Accepting Jesus?
It is hard to say, and certainly not for us to judge. I think we underestimate children in this country. While not understanding fully the consequence of his sin, he still may know he is a sinner thus in need of a Savior. We have no idea what God has in store for this little man and capturered his heart at such a young age.┬Ā
Kids know when they lie and they know it is wrong. Our hearts are written with the Law of God, our conscience bears witness to sin; so I do think a little one can except Christ.┬Ā
Debbie ~
"We cannot un-see what we have seen...." ~ Margot Franssen
I agree with Debbie - and, we're told to "become like little children" so if that doesn't say that children can have faith I don't know what does. Here's that verse in its entirety:
Mark 10:13-16
┬Ā13 People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, ŌĆ£Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.ŌĆØ 16 And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them.
I do think that a lot of times people (even adults) think that actually just saying the prayer will save them - saying the prayer doesn't save; the REASON you say the prayer saves - you're faith saves. Actually God saves you through your faith.
I'll give you and example. I did 5-day clubs with Child Evangelism Fellowship when I was in high school. I lead lots of little kids in the "salvation prayer" during my two summers there. Honestly, I would doubt that many of them had the faith to back up their prayer. BUT, I know that one little girl (only 4-1/2 at the time) is STILL (14 years later) living for the Lord. I had no idea that she was until my mom ran into a friend who knew of her a few months ago. I started crying. I can't remember most of the little ones I prayed with or taught, but for "some reason" this little girl (I honestly don't even remember her name) has always stuck in my mind. I pray for her whenever I think of her. I guess she had the faith that backed up her prayer. It's SUCH a testimony of how the Lord works. Even a little 4-1/2 year old can know just enough and believe just enough to clutch onto the promises of God. It makes me teary just thinking about it. God is awesome.
I think just like with everyone else, while we can't know people's hearts, we can take a fair guess at someone's salvation "status" by their fruit.
SAH and HSing mom to
I think it is different for every person at what age they have the capacity to understand that they are a sinner before God and that are in need of a Saviour. I agree that it is not a prayer that saves you but the understanding of the fact that you are a sinner and in your heart wating to turn away from those sins to accept Christ.
That being said my husband was saved when he was 4. He has never doubted it and he remembers it. No one had to remind him that he got saved, he was just able to understand at a young age. I do think it is possible for a child to get saved at a young age. Still I also think it is important not to convince them that they got saved. For instance if they are a teenager or an adult later and don't remember doing that ( not just the date but remembering the time they got saved) I don't think its good for a parent or whoever to say 'yea you are fine you did that when you were 5'
At our home church we had several who thought they got saved when they were kids but never truly repented and didnt get saved till they were adults.
As I said its different for everyone. I heard the gospel all the time but I got saved when I was 10.
hope that makes sense..

I got saved when I was three. A small child may not have the same amount of understanding as an adult, but even at three I understood that sin was doing something wrong, like disobeying or being mean, and that it made God sad. I also understood that sin had to be punished, and that God's punishment for sin was death, just like my parent's punishment for wrongdoing was a spanking. I understood that Jesus took all of our sin on himself- to me at that age I thought of Him taking all the spankings for all the bad things people do in the whole world. I asked Jesus to forgive me for the bad things I did, and to live in my heart. Yes, it was very basic understanding, but I had faith that Jesus was alive and that He saved me from my sins and would live in my heart. Now, throughout my life I've reaffirmed that and recommitted my life to Christ after gaining more understanding, but I still think I was saved back when I was three.

Good point Kristen. I totally agree.
SAH and HSing mom to
I agree with the other ladies.┬Ā It really depends on how much he understands.┬Ā I believe that if he understands the concept of sin and his need for a savior because of sin and accepted that then yes, he truely was saved.┬Ā But, I think if he just believes Jesus was a real person and recited a prayer he was told to recite, then no, I do not believe he was saved.
My son is almost 4.┬Ā He understands who Jesus is and why he came to this world.┬Ā He understands a very basic concept of sin, but doesn't really get that because of his sin he is in need of a savior.┬Ā I think by 5 he might understand it though...hopefully.

Agree, Kayla!
We were in Wal-Mart the other day and Abby said look "mommy a cross", so I asked her what does the cross mean? She says this "the cross is what Jesus died on for my sin"...now does she fully understand exactly what her sin is? doubtful, but she is learning and is grasping the sacrifice.┬Ā
Debbie ~
"We cannot un-see what we have seen...." ~ Margot Franssen
My daughter made a profession of faith at age four.┬Ā My son made a profession of faith last week (he's almost five.)┬Ā
We will continue to point our kids to Christ, to talk about "falling short".
That said, we were listening to a song on Christian radio today and it was talking about "by His stripes, we are healed."┬Ā Jadon, who is six, told me what that meant.┬Ā

"Kiribati" Top 5 Page for this destination Kiribati by Rusket
Kiribati Travel Guide: 90 reviews and 218 photos
The Republic of Kiribati conists of three groups of islands on both sides of equator and on both sides of the date line: Gilbert Is., Phoenix Is. and Line Is. Christmas Island (Kirimati) in the Line Islands lies south of Hawaii, Tarawa in the Gilberts north of Fiji. 1. january 1995 Kiribati altered its time zones to make all of its territory lie in the same zone as the Gilbert Islands (GMT +12). Due to this, Kiribati was the first country to see the new millenium :-) That is how I heard about Kiribati, and why I wanted to go there.
The I-Kiribati, the people on Kiribati, are of mixed heritage, although mostly micronesian. Just look at this picture. Some people look polynesian, some mauri and some asian. The islands have been under influence of chinese traders, they have been a british protectorate, they have been occupied by the japanese and the americans and nowadays there are missionaries and relief workers from here and there. Looks like they have all left some genes ;-) Well, not the woman to the right, that is me :-)
The picture is taken in the livingroom at the guest house on Butaritari. In the evenings they used to put up a television set and a diesel driven power generator and show films on TV-CD's. Since we were guests, we were allowed to choose film :-) The whole village came to watch, and we felt a bit awkward to be given the best seats, while all the other people stood behind us.
Oh, my, my moose has become a VT member too, and has built his own Kiribati page, the little rascal!
This page, including tips, is based on our vistit on three of the atolls of the Gilberts. In addition I have made a Gilbert Islands page about specific experiences on Abaiang and Butaritari, a specific Tarawa page and separate pages about the towns Betio and Bairiki.
Only three of the 8 atolls of the Phoenix group are inhabitated: Gardner, Sydney and Hull were colonized by people from over crowded villages in what was then called The Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony in 1938, when they took over the lease.
This site by Jane Resture is very informative, with many pictures. She and her co workers write about all the islands, history, culture, world war II, nuclear testing on Kirimati (Christmas Island) and a LOT more.

Great place, nice presentation of your trip! Thanx!
While reading J Maartin Troosts book. I find this island chain interesting. I'm not sure if you have read the book but are the conditions as dire as as described?
Recently spent 3 months on Christmas Island.. There is now weekly air service via Air Pacific between Fiji and Honolulu stopping at CXI each way every Wednesday.
Wonderful pages - I enjoyed living your adventure vicariously! Hope to sail from island to island one of these days! Thanks for sharing.
Interesting page! Must have been already an adventure to get there !
now this is real travel to out of the way desitnations; in the late 60's a friend's friend from USA via S Africa visited Rodriques, east of Reunion ;-)
You should read the travellogue "The Sex Lives Of The Cannibals" then. Nothing risque; it's about Kiribati living. Hilarious.
Very interesting part of the world. I am intrigued by your statement that with the right skills you could live without money. It must have been quite expensive just to arrive in Kiribati.
wow, Karibati is on my list I just need to hopp on a plane. the L.C. are very interesting, bio Toilets a good idea. tks for a lovely page. greets from NZ have a great 2006
Interesting pages on Kiribati.. would love to go there one day...

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

A look at rye's return to the cocktail scene. Plus, a recipe for Summer Rye Sparkling Cider.
There's a modern day whiskey rebellion brewing.
Rye, once the quintessential American whiskey (it even was distilled by George Washington), is pushing back from an obscurity triggered in part by Prohibition, but also by the post-Prohibition rise of its cousin, bourbon.
Last year, rye sales were up 30 percent over 2007, according to the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States. And since 2007, more than 15 new brands have come to market, including Jim Beam's premium (ri)1.
"Cocktail trendsetters across the country really dig on rye," says Duggan McDonnell, a bartender at San Francisco's Cantina. "And tastemakers love the flavor profile. It's being rediscovered and applied to a ton of cocktails. What was hip long ago is cool again."

Most Read Stories
Whereas bourbon is distilled primarily from corn, rye must be distilled from a mash of at least 51 percent rye grain. That difference is part of what accounts for rye's bite. Rye tends to be more bitter and spicier than bourbon. Many ryes have a peppery undertone.
"Rye's got that Cassius Clay uppercut," says McDonnell. "People don't sip it as much because it doesn't have that svelte, back palette finish that bourbon does."
It's that spicy, complex flavor that makes rye so much fun to play with in cocktails.
"It's great with citrus flavors," says Colleen Mullaney, author of the cocktail cookbook "It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere." "Grapefruit, lemon and orange flavors lighten rye up a bit. But it can also handle full-flavored liqueurs and bitters."
Rye is benefiting from the booming speakeasy culture, which has renewed interest in playing with cocktails. More so-called mixologists are rediscovering old recipes, putting new spins on the classics and creating wholly new concoctions with unusual spirits.
"The revival is really nationwide," says Mullaney. "You can see it everywhere from people entertaining at home who want to whip up a pitcher of signature cocktails to the fancy cocktail lists at bars and hip restaurants."
For example, using rye instead of bourbon in a Manhattan makes for a version of the classic that's far less sweet. McDonnell serves it in a Carmen Amaya (a mix of rye, Cointreau, fresh lemon, muddled basil and amontillado sherry), and a Prize Filly (a mix of rye, flavored bitters and maraschino liqueur).
Here's another way to serve rye:
Start to finish: 5 minutes
Servings: 1
2 lemon wedges
1 ounce rye
½ ounce apricot brandy
2 to 3 ounces sparkling apple cider
Squeeze 1 lemon wedge into a tall glass, then drop it into the glass. Fill the glass with ice. Add the rye and apricot brandy, then top with sparkling cider. Stir gently, then garnish with a lemon wedge.

BREAKING: "Obama administration delays Keystone XL decision, potentially until after Nov. elections"
Just like he pushed back a number of ObamaCare provisions until after the elections in order to shield vulnerable Democrats.
Here's the blunt truth that leftist apologists will never admit: Obama knows Obamacare is a coup, a wedge that effectively eviscerates individual rights and, perhaps too, religious freedom; Obama knows that domestic energy production drives down costs, increases industry, frees up capital, and allows people to escape from governmental dependency. He knows these things and he wants these things.
That's what fundamental transformation has always been about, that's what Alinsky's Marxism, which our President supped on throughout his academic career has always been dedicated to — eradicating the middle class — and that's what Obama and his progressive ideologues want to see happen: the end of America's reign as a superpower and its relegation to just another bureaucraticly-run social welfare state, with the ruling class determining winners and losers, and no uppity Bill of Rights to block their way.
They are weakening the military, weakening the currency, arming their bureaucratic agencies, and driving up debt and cost in order to strain the system.
Everything this President and his cabinet does is politically motivated and based upon the "pragmatism" of the ends justifying the means.
The cynical endgame with every move toward Marxist utopianism is liberal fascism — a ruling elite and its preferred business partners colluding to form a permanent symbiotic relationship that drives off competition and entrenches power and wealth.
That they are able to sell this as "social justice" or "compassion" is one of the great ironies of our times, particular given the historical record the world provides us.
Useful idiots are abundant. But mostly, takers take — and so long as they get theirs, the immorality of their support for usurpers, thieves, and tyrants doesn't much bother them.
Which is awfully sad.

Cool card but the capped overclocking potential is a huge downer :/ given it comes behind NVIDIA in the field as well I'd have to hope for any tweaks available to keep it up with the current crop. There's also the issue of the recent rumor of a refresh of the 7900 core coming along which would make me want to wait to see what performance those chips are able to deliver instead.

Most Anticipated Albums of 2016: Indie
Like every year, 2016 comes with high hopes. Lauded names like LCD Soundsystem, Radiohead and the xx have resurfaced with the promise of new music.
Like every year, 2016 comes with high hopes. Lauded names like LCD Soundsystem, Radiohead and the xx have resurfaced with the promise of new music.
Band of Horses hasn't released a new album since 2012's "Mirage Rock," but that hasn't stopped lead singer Ben Bridwell from getting in the giving spirit.
The Neil Young who showed up at Red Rocks on Thursday night was not entirely different from the Neil Young of the previous night: a classic folk-rock lifer whose energy and activism built as the night grew darker.
Neil Young has announced a new album and tour with Willie Nelson's sons that will stop for two nights at Red Rocks Amphitheatre this summer.
Valentine's Day isn't only for lovers. It's also the day where people are anti-love. Or maybe, they've been in a relationship far too long so Feb.
The first day of Outside Lands 2013 brought performances by Naia Kete, Smith Westerns, Houndmouth, the Heavy, the Men, Band Of Horses, the National, Rhye, Chic featuring Nile Rodgers, Wyatt Cenac, Chromatics, Pretty Lights and more to San Francisco.
If you're not in San Francisco this weekend, don't worry. You can still catch performances by some of the best acts at Outside Lands 2013.
You can really open up some new horizons this week — the best Denver shows are going to be straight up weird. Icelandic atmospheric rock?
Here are the best Denver concert tickets on sale this weekend starting Feb. 15. Read More»
The Coachella 2013 lineup has been announced and along with the main headliners like Blur, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Phoenix are two Colorado acts, the Lumineers and Pretty Lights.
My Morning Jacket, well-known for its ability to play long, loud and hard, presented fans with a marathon performance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Saturday, its second show of the weekend in Morrison that inched toward the four-hour mark.
My Morning Jacket may be the best live rock 'n' roll band in America, period. The Kentucky-bred quintet headlines Red Rocks Amphitheatre Friday and Saturday for what will surely be two of the venue's loudest, hardest, most butt-kicking evenings in the historically busy concert year.
The latest summer concert announcement is a big one: My Morning Jacket is on the road with Band of Horses as support. And the band is kicking off the tour in Colorado – at Red Rocks, in fact.
"We took a little break from that weird-ass tour," said Band of Horses singer Ben Bridwell, and that was the only reference made to the fact that here we were –- again –- at the Ogden Theatre Sunday night, listening to the alt rock band headlining instead of opening for Kings of Leon last week at Red Rocks, after KOL also "took a break" following Caleb Followill's weird-ass display in Dallas in July.
It's rare that an automobile manufacturer uses a song to its full potential, but a few years ago, Ford edited Band of Horses' best-known song, "The Funeral," into a comparatively potent commercial.
P&C does its best to bring you the best in pop gossip and news every week. Today, we bring you a few of our favorite indie/pop crossovers in the form of cover songs.
Band of Horses failed to capture the magic and electricity of this year's "Infinite Arms" last night at the Fillmore Auditorium. While keeping in mind that the South Carolina five-piece struggled through some early technical difficulties, as a whole, they seemed a bit anti-climactic following strong sets from each of the two openers.
TONIGHT -- Fabolous, a.k.a. Brooklyn native John Jackson, is coming up on a decade of semi-stardom since the 2001 single "Can't Deny It." And while he's still grasping for the artistic and commercial heights of many of his East Coast idols, it's impossible to deny the infectious nature of numbers like "My Time" and "Throw It in the Bag" from his 2009 album, "Loso's Way." Monday at the Ogden Theatre with Black Pegasus and B-Simp.
The Dead Weather, "Sea of Cowards" (Warner Bros.) The Dead Weather's blues-debted rock music is loud, but there are quiet ruminations deep in the lyrics.
The indie-rock and South Carolina based alt-country Band of Horses made their second Colorado stop - in as many days – on March 16 at the Ogden Theatre.
Strong, unique vocals, catching - haunting - melodies, shimmering reverb drenched guitars and anthemic rhythms - this is a recipe for beautiful, ecstatic pop, or so it would seem.

Being the arbiter of someone's attractiveness can be interpreted as an expression of masculinity that women are not traditionally expected to adopt.
Brandy Clark and Kacey Musgraves have defied country's tradition of celebrating the working class, and in doing so, they address the harsher realities of modern rural America.
Depictions of bisexuality are few in number and often still based on stereotypes, but the quality of their portrayals is improving thanks to shows like The Good Wife and Revenge.
The Newsroom, Mad Men, and Girls have all included this plot point in recent seasons. Why?
Women outside cities tend to marry earlier, have limited access to good healthcare, and experience higher rates of domestic violence.

Gerald Leslie Brockhurst: Etchings from the William P. Brumfield Memorial Collection. (Learning from Exhibitions)
Johnson, Mark M., Arts & Activities
For an artist who created more than 600 superbly painted portraits--including among them subjects such as Marlene Dietrich, The Duchess of Windsor and J. Paul Getty, Jr.--it may seem surprising that this artist is best known for his etchings. Smaller in number, smaller in presentation and decidedly smaller in size, these prints, particularly between the 1920s and '30s, "are among the most suavely realized and technically adept works of art in any period, but above all, the etchings epitomize an elegance and panache that we associate with the decades between the two world wars." (*)
Born in 1890 in Birmingham, England, and raised by his mother, Gerald Leslie Brockhurst entered the Birmingham Municipal School of Art at the age of 12 before moving to the Schools of the Royal Academy in London, where he earned numerous awards, prizes and a scholarship. He attempted his first etching in 1914, but more eagerly embraced the medium in 1920, creating 19 plates in that year alone. In 1921 he was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers, and exhibited with this group annually thereafter.
Most of Brockhurst's portraits are rather conventional--no big surprises here. Typically the subjects, mainly women, are composed half-length, some closer, looking straight at you, positioned in shallow space, against a ledge, or against a blank background. When the artist places a portrait within a surrounding, like a landscape, that placement often recalls the work of such Italian Renaissance masters, as Leonardo da Vinci.
Like Leonardo's own Mona Lisa, there is also a sense of the unknown, or of mystery, that separates the viewer from some of Brockhurst's sitters. His technique alone distinguishes these images from the standards to which we have grown accustomed. At first many think these prints give the impression of aquatints with their wonderful tonal variations and rendering of transparent effects like watercolor, or mezzotints with their almost photographic-like modeling of facial features. But, indeed, Brockhurst's incredible prints are etchings done line by line, dot by dot. But to this mechanical craftsmanship, the artist added a very human, sensual touch.
As a young student in England, then in Paris and then off to Italy, Brockhurst immersed himself in the art of the 15th-and 16th-century Italian Renaissance. He was dubbed at age 12 as "a young Botticelli." Brockhurst studied the works of Botticelli, Pierro della Francesca, Leonardo da Vinci, Andrea del Sarto, Michelangelo and Bronzino.
While most of the gentleman recorded by Brockhurst were identifiable individuals, the females were drawn from a small number of models. By changing a pose, setting or costume, the artist could seemingly transform the model into an entirely different person. Some are idealized, others are romanticized. As was also the custom of many artists throughout history, several of his prints depict his first wife, Anais, while others draw inspiration from Kathleen Woodward, whom he married at a later time. …

text: In Search of DC Solutions: Are Global Bonds the Answer? Alison Martier, Seth J. Masters May 28, 2013 Americas, Defined Contribution Many US defined contribution (DC) plan sponsors are seeking solutions aimed at reducing undue volatility—excess volatility without a commensurate increase in return—that can prevent a plan and its participants from achieving their long-term objectives. Our research suggests that hedged global bonds may be one solution. Global Bonds Meet the "Core" Objective We consider our investment services and solutions in terms of meeting an investor's objectives. The stability objective appears at the lower left of our fixed-income risk-return spectrum. At the other end of the spectrum is high income. Typically, higher income comes from lower-quality securities, such as high-yield bonds. These volatile sectors have a relatively high correlation with equities and other risk assets. Between the stability objective and the high-income objective lies the coreobjective. Core assets are those that tend to perform substantially better when the value of risk assets declines. When market volatility is high, and equities and high yield are exhibiting a lot of volatility and performing poorly, investors want to have an anchor in their portfolio that has the potential to mitigate risk assets' poor returns. That "anchor to windward" is core. Most US plan sponsors have opted for a US core or US core-plus portfolio as the core option in their DC plan. However, some have begun to adopt global fixed income. These sponsors already understand the potential benefits we outlined in last week's post. Unfortunately, what we've observed is that many adopters of global fixed income have been subjected to a lot more volatility than they anticipated. Their objective remained core, but their volatility increased, putting them into the risk-assets category, along with investors seeking high income. How could that be? The error comes in buying global bonds that aren't hedged. As explained here and here (as well as in our white paper), currencies are significantly more volatile than bonds. As a result, an unhedged global bond approach fails to fulfill the core objective. Remember, core assets must exhibit low volatility in order to serve as anchor to windward. However, once the currency risk is hedged, the overall risk of the global bond portfolio declines sharply, without sacrificing return, putting hedged global bonds squarely in the core column (display). Hedged Global Bonds: Comparable Return, Less Risk When we compare the three-year rolling standard deviation of both global bond approaches—hedged and unhedged—as well as US core bonds over the past 20 years, the unhedged global approach (represented by the Barclays Global Aggregate Index unhedged) has been by far the most volatile series. US bonds (represented by the Barclays US Aggregate Index) have been much less volatile. But—drum roll, please—the hedged global approach (represented by the Barclays Global Aggregate hedged to the US dollar) has had the lowest volatility of the three series. Does this lower volatility translate into lower returns? No. Our analysis examined annualized returns over the same long period we'd used for historical volatility, to see just how well the three approaches—global unhedged, US and global hedged—stacked up (display). All three fared about the same in terms of raw annualized returns. But the risk-adjusted returns tell the full picture. The Sharpe ratio, which measures return per unit of risk, climbs from global unhedged at 0.6 to US at 0.9 to global hedged at 1.0. Hedged global bonds, in risk-adjusted-return terms, come out the clear winner in the historical data. Global hedged is simply a better way to meet the core objective. With the results of this analysis in hand, we'll discuss in future posts adding global to DC plans, both as a core option and as a component of the default option such as a target-date fund. "Target date" in a fund's name refers to the approximate year when a participant expects to retire and begin withdrawing from his or her account. Target-date funds gradually adjust their asset allocation, lowering risk as participants near retirement. Investments in target-date funds are not guaranteed against loss of principal at any time, and account values can be more or less than the original amount invested — including at the time of the fund's target date. Also, investing in target-date funds does not guarantee sufficient income in retirement.

[Verse 1: Ryan Leslie]
Is it the accent, the hype or the way she walkin'
Am I, am I dreaming or am I sleep walkin'
Got my arms out-stretched so I don't bump into her
Silly me now I'm so into her fashion
To her style of dress
And I'm looking in the mirror like do I look fresh? do I?
Do I look fresh enough to get her
If I see her one time then I won't forget her
Cause I... I took a picture mentally
When I pulled up in the black on black bent-a-ly and I...
I really feel like she was meant for me
If she wasn't then I know she was sent for me
Cause she.. shes the only one that made me chase
Got me singing love songs like Babyface
And I tried to one night her but she made me wait
She made me wait.. hah!
[Hook: Ryan Leslie]
And so I think she got somethin', she got somethin'
Yes she got somethin', somethin' that I like (something I like, oohh she yeah)
So I think she got somethin', she got somethin'
Yes she got somethin', somethin' that I like
(ooooh, now break it down like)
She's got that something, shes got that something... that I like
(uh, say it again like)
She's got that something, shes got that something... that I like
[Verse 2: Ryan Leslie]
I slow it down 'fore I pick her up
Its 8 o'clock now we datin', inevitably dudes be hatin'
But I... I still gotta flaunt my chick
I laugh, no surprise that they want my chick
Shes... more than they can comprehend
British dudes idolize me they can't be him
He's just to witty, game is too gritty
Look at his track record man, it's too many
Tens, that's too many to count
I spend, that's a any amount
No matter to sum homey got the cash to cover it
And when I want a seed she be fast to mother it
Yeah... just so she can take my ends
Would I let her to it hmm, well that depends
Can she raise a young king? my blood is royal
And if she can man it ain't a thing to spoil her
[Hook: Ryan Leslie]
[Verse 3: Pusha T]
The CL's waitin' just as soon as the plane lands
To ball on the city is the gameplan
Bottle service over here, money changes hands
Lanvin, broke niggas call 'em Ray-Ban's
Ughck! Champagne bubbles
Hot drunk girls more fun when they love you
Later for the days when I used to see double
The whole city know we's a power couple
Fly as she wanna be, never been a wannabe
Jealous hoes hatin' cause she everything they wanna be
Yeauhg! Give 'em what they wanna see
What's to talk about when the YSL is one of three
She don't gossip she just buy shit
All the same heels Rihanna rocks on Bossip
Any Given Sunday is Project Runway
Somethin' that I like and I gotta have her one day
[Hook: Ryan Leslie]

Child with local ties to star on NBC's live 'Sound of Music'
Talent flourishes in the branches of Peyton Ella's family tree.
The 7-year-old is just the latest member of that stage-savvy group to blossom in the performing arts, and her skills will be on display for millions of television viewers this Thursday when she stars in the live NBC production of "The Sound of Music."
Everyone on set has said the nicest things about Peyton, said her mother, Tara Kennedy.
"It's just nice to hear great things about your child," she said. "The business is very hard, but it makes it all worthwhile when you're doing something as wonderful as this is."
Peyton's family certainly knows what she faces as a professional performer. Her mother - who spent much of her childhood in Green Ridge visiting her grandparents, the late Marvin and Lucille Barnes, and considers Scranton to be her hometown - appeared on Broadway as a child in "I Remember Mama" and "Annie." Peyton's grandmother, Mary Lou Barnes Kennedy, and great-aunt, Patricia Barnes of Scranton, were Radio City Rockettes, and her great-uncle, Chris Barnes, is an actor.
To see her niece and now her grandniece doing well in show business is "absolutely amazing," Ms. Barnes said.
"It's just a real treat to see that we're keeping the talent going or the good genes or whatever," she said. "The gene pool continues. We're just so excited. We can't wait to see ('The Sound of Music')."
Starting dance lessons at age 3 and voice instruction at 6, Peyton starred in several regional theater productions before landing the role of Gretl von Trapp, the youngest daughter in the musical family. Peyton had a great teacher who groomed her, Ms. Kennedy said, and soon she was auditioning for parts.
She almost didn't try out for "The Sound of Music" but changed her mind after spotting a fellow voice student on television coverage of the show's open audition. She was the 545th person in line to try out and nabbed the role after four callbacks.
Peyton, who lives in Westchester County, N.Y., with her parents and four siblings, said she likes being in "The Sound of Music" a lot and is having fun. Her favorite song from the show is "So Long, Farewell," which features her and the other von Trapp children.
Ms. Kennedy said Peyton has "amazing ability" and surprises her every day.
"And I'm nervous, but I'm not," she said. "It's a weird emotion because she is in such control for her age. She remembers her lines, and she's right on cue. I've gotten so much positive feedback from everyone here on the set."
Rehearsals began in October for the Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II musical, which starts Carrie Underwood as Maria, a governess who teaches the children of the widowed Captain von Trapp (Stephen Moyer) and ends up falling in love with and marrying him on the eve of World War II.
"She's really nice, and she's really pretty," Peyton said of Miss Underwood. "And I call her 'Care Bear.'"
The cast also includes such notable actors as Audra McDonald, Christian Borle and Laura Benanti.
While Peyton has been tutored during production, Ms. Kennedy said her second-grader is looking forward to going back to school, where her friend Cora awaits, once the show wraps. Beyond that, whether Peyton wants to continue performing is her own decision.
"We're behind her, and her family wants her to do whatever she wants to do," Ms. Kennedy said.
Her daughter has not only learned a lot through the experience but also enjoyed it, Ms. Kennedy said, pointing out how she hears Peyton's infectious laugh a lot on set.
"They really cast a lot of unknown children, including my daughter, of course, and this is one of their first real, major roles," Ms. Kennedy said. "She's learning so much even from the (children playing the) von Trapp siblings. They're all great. They've become this great family, and it's just been a tremendous experience."

Lions RB Reggie Bush won't play vs. Redskins
Lions running back Reggie Bush won't play Sunday at Washington on Sunday. Bush, who has been dealing with a knee injury since last week, was listed as questionable heading into the game. Joique Bell is in line to pick up the reps Bush now won't take.
The hope is that Bush will be ready when the Lions face the Bears in Week 4.
Bush arrived in Detroit this offseason and provided an already high-powered offense with another dimension. In his debut against the Vikings, the former No. 2 pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, rushed for 90 yards on 21 carries and added 101 receiving yards on four catches, including a touchdown.
According to Football Outsiders, Bush is the third-ranked receiving back behind only Darren Sproles and LeSean McCoy.
