Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on September 13, 2012.
When you pre-order Pray for Brain's CD and play it, people will ask you, "WTF was that?"
This project's funding goal was not reached on September 13, 2012.
Our music confuses and delights those who hear it. With your help, we can make more people scratch their heads!
(note: Click on some of the highlighted items or descriptions throughout the text below to hear short samples. The samples are from the raw, unmixed reference burns from the recent studio sessions for the CD).
Pray for Brain is a trio with guitarist/oudist Mustafa Stefan Dill,
drummer Jefferson Voorhees and bassist Christine Nelson. Together, we
make music that no one really knows how to describe -- including
Pray for Brain is not your auntie's world music band, nor your uncle's country twang, nor your grandad's jazz vinyl (though it may make you remember all of that).
Instead, think 70s era Miles Davis, Chet
Atkins and late Coltrane playing with the White Stripes and Isaac Hayes
on a Calcutta rooftop with a bird's eye view to Morocco.
Johnny Cash takes a stab at dhrupad and Bengali icon Rabrindranath Tagore may sit in, too.
In a world full of labels and sound bites, we still had to make up some of our own for what we do: Arabilly, Countryeastern, Sufisurf, Indofunk.
That's why we're calling our first CD None Of The Above. And here are some preliminary mixes:
The set takes you on a little Pray For Brain microjourney, from 1) hyperfunk Arabilly to a 2) wide ranging melodic jazzy rock, 3) a wistful waltz with Indian nuance, to 4) uptempo oud, 5) fretless Indo-rock intensity,6) Sufisurf and finally 7 ) closing with a gentle dialogue with oud.
Is it rock? yes.. and no:
Is it jazz? yes.. and no:
Funky? Yes!
Is it country or Bollywood or Middle Eastern? It's all of those things -- and yet, not!!
It's "None Of The Above."
Pray For Brain evolved out of Sama Duo, where Mustafa and Jefferson drew on their respective backgrounds and music careers to create some groove-oriented energetic improvisations, delivered with a gutsy south Asian and Middle Eastern twist.
One fan wrote, "I love Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Indian classical music and Zeppelin and improv jazz, and your music was hitting all of those buttons in my brain at once."
Albuquerque's Weekly Alibi called Sama Duo "catchy, challenging, spacey and spiritual all at the same time."
After eight years, we added Christine in October. And quite honestly, the music's never been better!
Our inaugural performance at Albuquerque's well-known Outpost Performance Space in April drew a full house and paved the way for a profile in ABQ The Mag's June issue:
The gig mesmerized fans, who took to posting on music boards:
"Think Dick Dale, stoned, playing bhajans with Johnny Cash and Nass el Ghiwan jumping in every so often. After the second piece, I just let go, rolled off the log, and loved every minute of it. And yes, that Gretsch sounded like chimes. Not the cliche chimes, not "oh, that guitar has a chimey sound," but like real, sure as shootin' chimes that will set your chakras wheeling. I love live music. This was a gas! "
wrote one fan on the Gretsch forum.
Momentum and interest is building, with 5,700 Facebook fans around the world and growing. ...so it's time.
Pray for Brain is about to spread its eclectic sonic goodness across the globe - and we need your help to make this happen!
By purchasing pre-orders of the CD and other merchandise through
Kickstarter, you can be a part of making this music available on CD and
digital download worldwide. Our goal of $18,000 includes recording,
mixing, mastering, printing and replication as well as costs associated
with merchandise manufacturing...but we 're not stopping there.
We also believe this music deserves to be known and heard beyond all of our current fans and early adopters who've discovered us. We thank you truly for the love and support, and you've all told us "You guys should be bigger" -- we agree, and we're taking steps with this opportunity to make that happen.
So the budget includes funding for solid, proper PR representation and marketing. Having done a bit of that work professionally myself, I know the kind of expertise required to do that work well, and we have a professional, well established and credentialed music publicity team lined up.
What this means is that with your pre-order purchase, not only are you getting cool music, but you're investing in the sustainability, traction, and mobility of Pray For Brain. That means its easier for us to share our music live with you by going on the road, and offering future recordings and DVDs. You're a partner with us, not just someone buying a CD.
A breakdown of the merchandise included at various prepurchase levels is in the sidebar to the right, but here are details and images of some of the offerings. Note these are cumulative; i.e. higher levels include all the merchandise in the previous tiers, plus something new for that level. Also check the sidebar for info regarding international buyers.
$1: Every little bit helps and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
$5: and above: We'll give you a Twitter shout out ( we're at @Pray4Brain) and we'll follow you, if you have a Twitter.
$10: A digital download of the ENTIRE "None Of The Above" release -- not just a selected a track or two -- with a pre-release date availability only for Kickstarter backers: You'll get your copy about two to three weeks before the estimated mid-November release date.
'Nuff said...but you get the early bird digital download as well!
At this purchase level, we will personally autograph the CD but we will also autograph a poster of the original logo artwork for the release.
The poster features the original artwork, completely hand drawn and inked , including all the calligraphy, by our own bass player Christine Nelson.
It took Christine weeks to do this, and it's beautiful. It features the name of the band in Arabic and Bengali, as well as the names of various Indian ragas in Hindi.
I can also tell you that nothing in the artwork is random. Even the stars are specific constellations with a certain connection and meaning.
I think music this unique -- and artwork this stunning, by one of the band members, no less -- deserves a great , great T-shirt. So you get the band logo and name on a black American Apparel 100% Organic fine cotton jersey T-shirt.
This will be a full 8 color print screen, so all of the detail and subtlety of Chris' artwork will be there. They will be a little more expensive to produce, but the quality is superb and you know you're getting organic cotton. How cool is that?
With music this spontaneous and improvised, what doesn't make it on the CD can often be as interesting as what does. We'll produce a limited edition full length CD , exclusive to Kickstarter backers, of alternate takes and rehearsal clips, including special audio commentary and notes. More than a dump of outtakes, this will be curated and presented to give some insight into band's process and how the music evolves. For live music aficionados and jam band fans who love to record live music, this is a unique ground floor opportunity to have samples of the band in its earliest stages.
Here you can really be a known partner of the process: we'll list you in the Thanks section of the CD liner notes, and any where online we reproduce the text of the CD notes.
We will come to your home, garage, pool, lawn or work for a private concert! We'll do a full two sets for just you, your family, or throw a party and invite your friends. We'll travel on our own dime within a 120 mile radius from Albuquerque!
For our international or long distance customers, we will perform a private concert at a $500 purchase level if transportation expenses are met. We can also sign individual photographs, arrange Skype sessions, etc. Contact me and we'll work out a way to show our support from across the miles.
So that's it -- plenty of pre-order bang for your buck, and you'll get some great music!
We've done all the raw tracking in the studio already ,and we worked hard and efficiently. We tracked 13 songs in four days, with touch ups over two days.
With your help, we can move on to the editing and mixing stages, and then mastering and manufacturing -- and then into your eager hands and ears!
Pledge and pre-order now, so you can enjoy Pray For Brain this fall!
From all of us, thank you very much for your consideration and support.
Visit us at www.pray4brain.com. , and keep track of your investment with updates here.
Also see us at Reverb Nation, Facebook and Twitter
Reach out and ask us anything if you have any questions.
peace and blessings,
Mustafa Stefan Dill, with Pray For Brain
Maybe I am, but I don't think so, honestly... Because this project is a bigger plan than just a CD.
Here's how it breaks down, and why what we're going for is a good return on your investment -- at no additional cost to you:
While we've paid for the cost of tracking, there is still editing, mixing, mastering, artwork, CD replication to consider...that all adds up, as does the cost of some of the merchandise we're offering. The t-shirt, especially, will be a beautiful collector's piece: Full eight-color reproduction of Christine's art work on 100% organic cotton isn't cheap, but it does make it special, and I think you'll be happy to own it.
More importantly, the budget includes funding for a full-court press and promotion campaign. As mentioned in the main page, we -- and others, it seems -- believe this music deserves to be known and heard beyond our current base. That's not just hubris -- everyone who's heard us says, 'You guys should be bigger' -- so we're running with it and we have a reputable publicist with actionable results who knows world and jazz music ready to go.
But they're not cheap either.
We're hearing it: "other bands have a more modest budget, you can do it for less, be realistic."
It can be done for less, but what do you get?
So many CD projects stay at just that -- a CD and some swag, and the exchange stops there. We have a CD and some swag too, but also a plan.
Because we're budgeting for long term traction, you're investing in the sustainability and the future of Pray For Brain - not just buying a CD.
In other words, you're not just a passive consumer, but an active partner. That's exciting for us, and I hope you find it exciting too.
And the beauty is, if everyone we know -- and that you know -- does a small part, it doesnt need to cost you any more than the pledges already laid out. We're not asking big, we're asking wide.
It does need everyone to come together, work together, and be a part of Team Pray For Brain.
It needs to go as wide as possible, so please share with your networks.
It needs for anyone who's been waiting on the sidelines to not wait any more. If everyone waits, change doesn't happens -- history 's full of that :)
One thing about Pray for Brain music -- like it or not, it's fairly fearless. If that fearlessness in our music appeals to you, then please be fearless and swift in your support. If we're offering something musically bold, let that encourage you!
This simply won't happen without you. Kickstarter is an all or nothing proposition -- which means if the goal's not met, there's no risk to anyone -- but it also doesn't happen.
But that's not a reality that we as a band , or you as a fan and supporter, need to accept. Together we can shake the paradigm, flip a finger to pessimism and doubt and uncertainty, partner up, and get this CD into your hands!

And before we continue, I just want to quickly remind you what long tail SEO is all about (feel free to skip this chapter and head over straight to the example #1 if you are already well-familiar with the theory).
Definition: long tail keywords are search phrases that are highly relevant to your specific niche, product, service or topic, have low competition level, comparatively low search volume and, generally, consist of 3+ words.

Quick analyst take on Tempur-Pedic (TPX) buying Sealy (ZZ): The acquisition isn't a shocker, considering Tempur-Pedic needs to protect its brand and has plenty of manufacturing capacity, but could anti-trust issues crop up? The deal price of around $1.3B after factoring in debt doesn't look too pricey with leveraging opportunities in play.

Timico, the business internet, hosting and communications service provider, has launched a new VoIP for Android app to provide customers with all the benefits of their office phone when working remotely – as well as a special introductory offer for new Hosted VoIP customers.
As business increasingly moves away from the office and into the realms of mobile working, VoIP for Android allows users to benefit from all of the features that are usually only available when desk-based. For example, the app will mean that users can transfer calls, put calls on hold and host ad-hoc conferences - as well being able to search global address books, view friend lists, access instant messaging and make and receive video calls.
Charlie Whelpton, Director Unified Communications at Timico said: "With recent figures showing that 80% of time on mobiles is spent inside apps[i], it's important for us to respond to the needs of customers and stay ahead of the curve. Remote working is going from strength-to-strength, but that doesn't have to mean a reduction in function or utilities. Our new app responds to these needs and helps our customers remain agile and adaptive to change."
Hosted VoIP provides up to 40% savings on typical ISDN call costs and is also scalable, flexible and has the ability to utilise existing fibre broadband or Ethernet connectivity, rather than needing additional analogue or ISDN fixed line.
Timico's introductory Hosted VoIP offer allows businesses to experience the benefits of hosted VoIP at half its usual price – making it just £3.50 per month for the first six months, when signing up for a 24 month contract.
The app is available to download from the Google Play Store now. Users must be a Timico customer with subscription to a Hosted VoIP service. Existing customers may be required to upgrade.
For more information please visit the Hosted VoIP section of the Timico website.

I hear it's really good for you. It apparently has something to do with making your body more alkaline.
Anyone use it? Have you noticed any health benefits from it?
I hear it's really good for you. It apparently has something to do with making your body more alkaline.
Anyone use it? Have you noticed any health benefits from it?
I've heard of that too. Because I've never liked the store bought pre-made salad dressings, ever since I started preparing my food myself, I have used ACV, olive oil and salt to dress my salads. I also use it to pickle all kinds of vegetables. One way or another I incorporate it into my menu almost daily.
Edit: Almost two years into the Primal lifestyle I have noticed many health benefits. I can't be sure if it could be attributed to consuming apple cider vinegar, or it's just a combination of eating healthier and regular exercise.
Last edited by Graycat; 01-03-2013 at 10:11 AM.
I put ACV in my water and drink it all throughout the day. I actually really like the flavor of it. I started doing it initially because I have no health insurance (I know, I know... bad girl, but I'm a contractor, and also I'm young and still believe I'm invincible and all that) and I was looking for ways to decrease my chances of getting sick regularly. I kept doing it because I like the flavor and I really truly stopped getting sick.
I haven't done a whole lot of research into supposed health benefits. I just know I like it.
It is a great remedy for heartburn. One quick shot is usually all it takes.
I like the Bragg's ACV drinks. Much more palatable than the straight up stuff.

Yes. The first time I used it was because the whites of my eyes looked dull (not yellow, just dull). Brightened them right up. I recently started taking a tablespoon in water in the morning and at night, and a few blemishes I had cleared up and overall my skin looks better. I also like to put a little in my drinking water when I'm not in the mood for plain water.
Here's something weird. Since I started using it regularly again, my alcohol consumption has gone way down. That's the only real eating change I've made in a couple months, so I think it's linked, but it may be coincidence. Either way, I'm going to continue to take it.
"Right is right, even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong, even if everyone is doing it." - St. Augustine
Who says back fat is a bad thing? Maybe on a hairy guy at the beach, but not on a crab.
How does it make your body more alkaline if it's an acid?
I agree, SG. Plus I don't agree with the argument that more alkaline=better.
Like Greycat, I use it in dressings as well as cooking all sorts, including bone broth (it goes great in Asian dishes with ginger as well).
I've been told a shot of it 10-20 mins before eating aids digestion; although after some of the comments I might try adding a little to my water to drink through the day!
I have a bit when I have indigestion, it helps a lot. I also take it when I'm having more carbs than normal, it helps the blood sugar response not be so steep.

The overnight report: Red Wings-Rangers set-up; a ramble about the Phaneuf stuff
by George Malik on 03/04/15 at 02:02 AM ET
Comments (20)
The Detroit Red Wings' new trade deadline acquisitions will get to work when the Red Wings host the New York Rangers this evening (a delightful "Rivalry Night" game at 8 PM EST on NBCSN/Sportsnet 1/97.1 FM; the Wings are collecting school supplies this evening), and this should be a humdinger of a "First Game Back from a West Coast Swing" trap game:
New York actually has 39 wins to the Wings' 35 and 84 points to the Wings' 81, and they've won both 5 of their past 6 games (with their most recent win involving defeating Nashville 4-1 on Monday) and 9 of their past 11 games, and they of course acquired the much-ballyhooed Keith Yandle on Monday as well--and they're playing fantastically well despite not having the services of Henrik Lundqvist ("vascular injury") in the net (Cam Talbot's been starring in Lundqvist's place).
Things don't get any easier for the Wings after tonight; they host the playoff-desperate Calgary Flames on Friday, they head to Boston to battle the Bruins in a Sunday matinee, and then they host the Oilers to wrap up a slate of 4 games in 6 nights.

Prospect news: on KHL playoffs, Wheaton's injury, Backman, Mrazek and the Griffins' weekly release
by George Malik on 03/04/15 at 01:56 AM ET
Comments (2)
Tuesday was actually a very busy day for the Red Wings' prospects and their teams, and it involved an under-the-radar transaction that was a bit of a bummer in Jared Coreau and Martin Frk heading to the ECHL's Toledo Walleye due to the returns of Petr Mrazek and Teemu Pulkkinen to the Grand Rapids Griffins.
In game action:
In the KHL, Alexander Kadeikin may be injured, but SKA St. Petersburg's going to be just fine. They defeated Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod 3-1 and lead their 1st round playoff series (yes, the playoffs are already here in the KHL).
There's already a playoff series that's over as Sergei Fedorov's team, CSKA Moscow, defeated HC Sochi (Cory Emmerton's team) 6-0 and swept that series 4-0;

Does the NHL still 'owe' Henrik Zetterberg an apology for Jamie Benn's face-punches?
by George Malik on 03/03/15 at 06:25 PM ET
Comments (29)
The NHL doesn't deliver formal "apologies" to players, but Fox Sports Detroit's Keith Gave believes that the league ought to do the same thing that Erik Cole did during Tuesday's practice--apologize for Jamie Benn's unpunished indiscretion that probably concussed Henrik Zetterberg:
Zetterberg has missed the last four games after he was punched repeatedly in the head by Benn in a scrum surrounded by four officials. Zetterberg left the game and did not return for the third period, when the Wings overcame two two-goal deficits in the third period of a wild, 7-6 Detroit victory. And what did we hear from the NHL about that? Crickets.
Imagine how league officials would have responded if Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby or Washington's Alexander Ovechkin had been sucker-punched like that. Or anybody in Toronto or New York. Oh, the outrage!
Such hypocrisy. For a league that insists it's doing everything possible to protect its players from head injuries -- especially when caused by such gratuitous violence -- the unthinkable decision not to slap Benn with some form of supplemental discipline is inexcusable.
Zetterberg missed four games with headaches. He skated hard Monday and again on Tuesday, and hoped to be cleared for contact afterward. He remains questionable for Wednesday's game against the visiting New York Rangers.
If he does play, he'll likely be flanked by Cole, a speedy and acerbic 6-foot-2, 210-pound on one wing, and Justin Abdelkader, 6-1 and 220 pounds, on the other. Not since Steve Yzerman had Bob Probert on one wing and Gerard Gallant on the other has a top-line center been surrounded by such a combination of size, speed, grit and goal-scoring ability
Gave continues, and while I wouldn't go as far as to compare Abdelkader and Cole to Gallant and Probert...Do you think the NHL still owes Zetterberg an apology it won't give him? Should the NHL apologize when players who injure others go unpunished?

Here's an important FYI from the Red Wings' PR department:

LeBrun discusses why Wings-Leafs Phaneuf negotiations fell apart
by George Malik on 03/03/15 at 05:01 PM ET
Comments (20)
Reading this post-deadline "Almost" from ESPN's Pierre LeBrun, regarding the purported Dion Phaneuf deal, is a relief:
The reality is once Detroit and Toronto really laid their cards on the table, both front offices realized they were talking about a completely different deal.
The Red Wings would have wanted the Leafs to eat part of Phaneuf's $7 million-a-year salary, and the parts coming back weren't going to be Grade A stuff. The Leafs wanted a high-end return, and I'm not real sure just how much they would have wanted to eat of the Phaneuf salary.
As one source involved in the talks told ESPN.com, once both sides realized they were talking about a completely different deal than what the other side had in mind, it was time to move on.
Darren Dreger was on TSN 1050 this morning, and he stated that the Leafs wanted a Larkin or Mantha and the Wings' 1st round pick to make a "hockey deal" out of something the Wings did not want to make anything less than a salary-for-salary situation, and as the Wings aren't moving Larkin, Mantha or a 1st-rounder, that was the end of that.
And the Wings did, making an excellent deal for pending unrestricted free agent Marek Zidlicky instead, paying a modest price of a conditional third-round pick. Now, the fact that Zidlicky had a full no-move clause (and thus limited the New Jersey Devils' trade options severely) also helped keep that price modest. (The Wings tried on the Edmonton Oilers' Jeff Petry as well, but the weekend price on him was too high, so the Wings moved on. It's believed the Canadiens got Petry for less on Monday -- a second-round pick and a conditional fifth -- than what the Oilers were asking for over the weekend.)
LeBrun continues, discussing Lupul, the Bruins, Lightning and the Anthony Stewart deal.

Ken Holland explains trade deadline moves, talks about the 'next generation' on Detroit Sports 105.1

Red Wings GM Ken Holland spoke to Detroit Sports 105.1 FM's Matt Dery for about 18-and-a-half minutes on Tuesday afternoon, delivering nothing less than a fascinating interview:
1. Regarding the thought processes surrounding adding Erik Cole and Marek Zidlicky, the "state of the team" as he and Mike Babcock view it;
2. The reasons why the team's demoted Teemu Pulkkinen (Babcock told Holland Pulkkinen wouldn't be in the lineup on Wednesday) and Petr Mrazek--so that they play and don't sit [edit: and Holland said it's Babcock's decision as to whether Marchenko will remain in Detroit when he heals from his oblique muscle injury /end edit];
3. Holland both acknowledged that the team feels that the Zetterbergs, Datsyuks and Kronwalls won't get many more chances at making a deep run and/or Cup run, which the team hopes to do this year;
4. And Holland also suggested that some of the non-starters trade-wise were the Wings' next generation in Andreas Athanasiou, Dylan Larkin, Anthony Mantha, [edit: and I believe it was implied that the following players were among them Pulkkinen, Xavier Ouellet /end edit], Alexey Marchenko, Ryan Sproul and Mrazek. This is really great stuff:

Pulkkinen officially assigned to Grand Rapids
by George Malik on 03/03/15 at 02:02 PM ET
Comments (11)
For the record:
… Winger Led AHL in Goals and Points at Time of Recall …
DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings today assigned right wing Teemu Pulkkinen to the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins.
Pulkkinen has skated in 12 games with the Red Wings this season, scoring two goals and tallying 27 shots on goal. When he was recalled by Detroit on Feb. 17, he was leading the AHL in both goals (30) and points (57) and still sits first and second in those categories, respectively. The 23-year-old winger also leads the Griffins with 10 power-play goals and six game-winning goals. A native of Vantaa, Finland, Pulkkinen has totaled 117 points (61-56-117) and 64 penalty minutes in 117 career AHL games since 2012-13. Prior to coming to North America, the former fourth-round pick (111th overall in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft) registered 128 points (48-79-128) in 185 professional games with Jokerit of Finland's SM-Liiga from 2009-13 and was honored as the league's rookie of the year in 2010-11.
Update: As a result, from the Griffins:
The Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday assigned right wing Teemu Pulkkinen to the Grand Rapids Griffins. In addition, Detroit reassigned goaltender Jared Coreau and right wing Martin Frk from Grand Rapids to the ECHL's Toledo Walleye.
Detroit's fourth choice (111th overall) in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, Pulkkinen currently ranks second in scoring in the AHL with 57 points (30-27—57) in 44 games with Grand Rapids. Pulkkinen also ranks among league leaders with 30 goals (1st), 10 power play goals (T2nd) and 178 shots (4th). Prior to his recall to Detroit on Feb. 17, Pulkkinen notched his 30th goal of the season to become the first player in Griffins history to record back-to-back 30-goal seasons (31 in 2013-14), and he is only the second Griffin to log multiple 30-goal seasons. Michel Picard scored 46 in 1996-97, 33 in 1999-2000, and 32 in 2002-03.

Lindsay Lohan's life has been good post-rehab – and that includes her social life.
"I'm dating," Lohan, 20, told PEOPLE Monday at the Los Angeles premiere of Showtime's The Tudors. "I'm really happy and I'm having fun."
The actress, who split with restaurateur Harry Morton last fall and was recently spotted chilling with Stavros Niarchos at Hollywood hot spot Teddy's, said she'd gleaned some important lessons from her stint at the Wonderland Center in L.A.
"There's no way you can't learn a lot in a program like that, and it's good," she said. "I recommend it for anyone who needs it."
Post-rehab, Lohan has been a nightlife fixture, causing speculation that maybe she hasn't changed her ways. "I'm hearing a lot of [critical] things if I go out, so that always sucks," she said. "But it's like, when do people not say it? They're always going to say things, so I expect it. But I'm feeling really good."
What about those rumors linking her to oil heir Brandon Davis? "No, I'm not dating him," she said, then hinted: "It's no one here."
At the after-party, Lohan hung out in the VIP area at nightclub Les Deux chatting with British pop star Robbie Williams, who himself checked into rehab in February. But Lohan called it a night fairly early: She left Les Deux solo just after 11 p.m.

A blog about nothing at all. Here it goes.
Monday night I ordered parts for my first ever gaming PC and its due to get here tomorrow. Graduate school starts in a week. Terrible time for a purchase like this.
But its a gaming PC - a PC dedicated to cleaning the floor with anything I throw at it. I've never had something like this. High-quality graphics, game mods, FREE multiplayer, a huge hard drive to download games, and the ability to upgrade any part at any time. Playing new games, old games, online games, hell - my own games. I'll finally have the hardware and the horsepower to do anything I want.
Its gonna be a blast. All I got to do is put it together.
So here is to anticipation. Here's to the gaming PC. Unlimited possibilities for fun and entertainment. I can't wait.

From the looks of some recent photos, Zac Efron has a new summer love interest.
The 26-year-old "Neighbors" star has been spotted packing on the PDA in Sardinia, Italy, with 35-year-old "Fast & Furious" actress Michelle Rodriguez, nearly 10 years his senior.

This new rumored romance comes on the heels of Rodriguez's reported breakup with female model Cara Delevingne. Meanwhile, Efron was rumored to be dating his "Neighbors" co-star Halston Sage.
Efron has also been making headlines for his "Wiggle" and "Turn Down For What" dances while vacationing with Rodriguez. Click here to see the return of his "High School Musical" moves.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Hermitage Florence
Can't wait to go back!
The room was lovely, location fantastic for walking, and the rooftop dining so much fun. Close to many attractions and Ponte Vecchio.
Romantic and hsitoric!
The rooftop terrace saved us every afternoon with a beautiful siesta and sunset. Our room was in the front of the hotel and had a great view of the street activity and Ponte Vecchio. Staff excellent and helpful with "locals" restaurant recommendations. Would stay there again in a minute!
Suboptimal room
Don't be fooled by the hotel website. The website makes this place look like a quaint romantic getaway, which is far from the truth. The street noise alone had me on edge throughout my stay. I can only speak for our room, however it was so small the television was practically mounted on the ceiling to save space. The room and bathroom were both in need of major updating. Location is the only real plus of this hotel. Our plan initally was to stay three nights, but after two days of tripping over my wife we escaped to Sienna. At least the management was friendly, and let us leave early without any penalty. A complimentary bottle of wine at checkout was a nice gesture, but not enough to bring me back next time I visit Florence.
A little threadbear and a little over-run with tourists traffic
We stayed in the Hotel Hermitage in mid-October 2003. The hotel is right at the base of the Ponte Vecchio which means that there is a lot of chaos right outside the front door of the hotel. I found the location a little too frenetic. Everytime we went somewhere we had to wade through a crowd of tourists for 2 blocks before we could even catch a breath. My advice is to get a few blocks away from this area.
It is, however, an easy to walk to lots of attractions from the Hermitage if crowds don't bother you.
The staff was helpful. They accomodated us when we changed out plans at the last minute. We had to change rooms once because of this and they even toted out luggage to the new room while we were out sightseeing.
They were able to quickly direct us to a "Mail Boxes Etc." so we could ship some Venitian glass back home.
Also, the hotel looks like it was once very quaint. However, it is a little worn and could use some spiff up. I wouldn't go there for a honeymoon or really special occasion. Bathrooms have been modernized but the layouts are a little funky. Also, bath could have been a little cleaner.
Great Location!
The Hermitage offers a fabulous location, right off the Ponte Vecchio and around the corner from the Uffitzi. The rooftop terrace for breakfast starts off your morning with the promise of another glorious day in Firenze. Would definitely stay there again.
My g/f and I LOVE this hotel! In fact, it is our very favorite hotel in all of the world. We have only stayed there twice but this beautiful, friendly and well-run boutique hotel is stunning and achingly beautiful.
It is quite near where you want to be and at the foot of the Ponte Vecchio and near the Uffizzi.
Having beautiful rooms with air conditioning and great bathrooms, as well as views of the Arno river, (try to get a room on the 4th floor overlooking the river), as well as a gorgeous terrace, breakfast room and
lovely sitting room with wine and places to write or read, it just
can't be beat!
In the midst of history
We stayed at the Hotel Hermitage for our first wedding anniversary. The location is perfect, within a stone's throw from the Ponte Vecchio. We stayed on the second floor and had a view of the Ponte and the river Arno. Thank goodness the windows were noise proofed, because the din of traffic and especially those darn mopeds could drive someone batty.
Our room was not big, but enough room for two without being too cramped, the added bonus was the jacuzzi which were not used too much as it was the beginning of July and the heat was oppressive.
We highly recommend the hotel as the service was good, with staff from Germany and Brazil. The breakfast was quite weak with coffee and expresso being the best part. They just got a new expresso machine and it does kick butt.
It is tough to go out for a decent breakfast as within a two block radius, there are only small, small cafes, many of which do not open until 11am or 12pm.
With hotel prices generally being very high in Florence, it is nice to get quality as well. The only drawback is that with a small elevator and five flights as the only alternative to reach the check-in desk, if there is a big party, or if lots of luggage, it will be a slight chore to get up and down. The rooms are spread out from floors two to six, so some sort of up and down is unavoidable.
Near ponte vecchio
wonderful small hotel. staff is very helpful. location is perfect for seeing florence on foot. the rooms are above average.
Terrace With a View
I stayed at Hotel Hermitage for the second time in March, 2003. This trip, with a girlfriend who was seeing Italy for the first time and, having been a regular visitor to Florence for ten years, I wanted her to have the "perfect" location and ambiance to fall in love with Florence just as I did many years ago. We had the larger of the two rooms which. although it has no view, is on the upper floor with the terrace that overlooks the Ponte Vecchio, Arno and hills. The large bath was wonderful for two women traveling together, making up for the smaller scale of the bedroom area. The staff was the same as when my husband and I visited three years ago, always helpful and eager to have you love their city! Despite the rate going up, it is still worth it..you can run out, shop, run your things back up and head out to the major sights, never missing a ringing church bell! The lovely lounge is a wonderful place to relax with tea or afternoon wine and they have crisp fried bacon with eggs if you are craving a touch of home at breakfast!
What You want In Your Florence Hotel
The Hermitage offered everything we wanted for our three day stay in Florence. Quiet, comfortable, convenient, possibly romantic, if you are. The greatest feature from our point of view was the convenience. We wanted to se and do everything, and still have quick easy access to our room if we got tired. The Hermitage made it so easy to see whatever caught our fance from day to day, and still take little breaks in privacy and comfort. The breakfast is simple and light, but that's Italy. The view from the top porch is spectacular. The Uffizi, and the Pitti Palace are within a few minutes walk. We plan to return to Florence and the Hermitage.

Plymouth Whitemarsh's team defense ended Norristown's title defense on Friday night.
The Colonials defeated the visiting Eagles, 56-44, to clinch their first Suburban One American regular-season boys' basketball title since 2011, with two games to play.
Plymouth Whitemarsh pulled away with a dominant defensive run that bridged the third and fourth quarters, during which it allowed just three points on 13 possessions.
Jimmy Murray scored 10 of his 19 points during a 21-7 third quarter for the Colonials, and Andre Mitchell also netted 19 points. Plymouth Whitemarsh (18-2, 12-0) forced 15 turnovers.
Norristown (11-7, 8-4) had won at least a share of the title each season since 2011.

"All I can say is it feels great to still be a part of the Trojan family," Martin said. "I knew it was a process and I just stayed patient with it, kept doing my job and waited to talk with Sark and see what was going on. He interviewed me today and we actually talked a couple of times.
"As soon as he said, 'so are you in, do you want to be a part of the staff,' I just smiled and said heck yeh I do. It's the first time I've ever accepted a job without talking to my wife first but I knew she would be on board. She loves it out here and I can't wait to get started."
Martin said he already had a previous relationship with Sarksian and the two had kept in touch over the years.
"He was my quarterback coach when I played with the Raiders," Martin said. "We maintained a friendship over the years and I have great respect for him as a coach and a person. He's a great offensive mind and I can't wait to coach with him and learn from him.
"We have so much potential here, we're going to turn this thing around really quickly. At the end of the year, we only had 45 scholarship players, that's going to change. Next year, when we can go out and start recruiting a full class and get the best of the best at every position, it's going to be incredible what we can do.
"I know we're building a great staff and our future is very bright. It has been an emotional time and most of our current staff has spent the last few days just trying to be there for our kids. Sark has been very respectful of that. He could have said, 'get your butt out there and recruit,' but he knows we have some players that are hurting and wants us to be with them and make sure they're doing all right and I really respect that about him."
Martin finished out the year coaching the quarterbacks at USC but will go back and coach receivers next year.
"We have a great group coming back and our offense is going to be dynamic," Martin said. "We have talent all over the place. I like our young quarterbacks, we have some great young running backs and receivers and I like our returning offensive linemen a lot.
"We still need to sit down as a staff of course and go over what our plans are going to be recruiting wise and what kind of system we plan to run but I know this, we're going to have talent here. USC is an incredible job, there's not another school in the country I would want to be at other than right here."
Martin shot down a rumor that was spreading over the web that he was in talks with UCLA about joining their staff.
"I never talked to anyone over there," Martin said. "I know Jim Mora a little because our sons play in the same youth league but I never talked with UCLA or any other school for that matter.
"USC is my home, this is where I want to be and I'm very excited about this opportunity Sark has given me. We're going to do some very big things here and like I said, I'm just excited about our future and about the opportunity I have to be a part of it."

For a net that's enjoyed success with high drama, ratings gold is Elementary.
In a development no one could have anticipated, the 125-year-old English detective Sherlock Holmes last week murdered Horatio Caine, and in so doing sentenced the hammy Miami cop to an eternity of syndication.
With very few holes to fill in its prime-time lineup, CBS last week opted to close the books on CSI: Miami after a 10-season run, thereby freeing up the Sunday 10 p.m. time slot for the more popular series The Mentalist. With Simon Baker out of the way on Thursday nights, CBS now has a plum spot available for its newest procedural drama, Elementary.
One of just three new dramas on the fall docket, Elementary is a postmodern interpretation of the Holmes-Watson mysteries. Starring Jonny Lee Miller as a detective struggling with drug addiction (recall that Arthur Conan Doyle's Holmes was an uninhibited cocaine enthusiast) and Lucy Liu as the "sober companion" meant to keep him out of harm's way, Elementary shares strands of DNA with the former occupant of the Thursday 10 p.m. time slot. Chief among these is Holmes' flair for deductive reasoning and unconventional investigative techniques.
In an era of British leads, Miller may be the only Englishman who's allowed to declaim his lines in his native accent. (CBS is all over the linguistic map. An Australian, The Mentalist's Baker speaks in the standard mid-Atlantic accent, while Michael Emerson of Person of Interest is an Iowan who seems British.)
With the benefit of a Person of Interest lead-in, Elementary should have no trouble drawing a crowd. The broadcast competition on Thursday night amounts to ABC's Scandal, which has drawn a consistent 2.0 rating in the 18-49 demo since it premiered in early April.
Buyers are particularly enthusiastic about Vegas, a period piece based on the life of Sheriff Ralph Lamb, a fourth-generation rancher charged with the unenviable task of bringing order to Sin City in the 1960s. Nick Pileggi (Casino, Goodfellas) wrote the pilot and is an executive producer of the series, which stars Dennis Quaid and Michael Chiklis. Vegas fills the Tuesday 10 p.m. time slot left vacant by the canceled Unforgettable.
"That one looks really good," said a national TV buyer. "There aren't too many 10 o'clock shows that are developed with a male audience in mind, and it's going to run up against two really 'girly' shows. Private Practice is maybe three-quarters female and Parenthood is two-thirds. This could be big."
While period pieces seem to have a hard time finding an audience on broadcast TV—Pan Am and The Playboy Club are only the latest in a string of historical dramas that failed to live up to the hype—Vegas appears to be that rarest of animals: a network series for adults.
According to Networked Insights lead analyst Sean Reckwerdt, CBS' decision to deviate from its procedural-heavy model could prove to be a winner. "While there is not nearly the same amount of conversation as there are for the all the other networks, the Vegas conversation trends very positively," Reckwerdt said, adding that viewers are eager to see Quaid square off against mob heavy Chiklis.
Having survived the battle of CSI spin-offs, CSI: New York shifts back an hour to the Friday 8 p.m. slot, where it will lead into the third new CBS drama, Made in Jersey. Starring Janet Montgomery as a street-smart Italian- American lawyer, the series will compete with a mixed bag of dramas, including NBC's Grimm, Fox's Fringe and The CW's Nikita.
Given its unparalleled stability, CBS' biggest moves have less to do with adding new series to the lineup and more to do with shifting established shows. Freshman phenom 2 Broke Girls will push Two and a Half Men from its Monday 9 p.m. slot, forcing Ashton, Ducky and the pothead kid to Thursday nights at 8:30 p.m. In reuniting Men with The Big Bang Theory, CBS programming chief Kelly Kahl said he has created a "super comedy hour."
Men and Bang are the two highest-rated comedies on TV, but at the same time, both shows are getting long in the tooth. As such, the move to consolidate the ratings on Thursdays also presents an opportunity for growth on Monday.
Joining the powerhouse Monday night block is CBS' lone new half- hour of the fall, the workplace/buddy comedy Partners. The new strip will lead into 2 Broke Girls, which closed out its first season with an average delivery of 11.3 million viewers and a 4.3 rating in the dollar demo.
CBS Corp. CEO Les Moonves has never been shy about projecting his goals for the upfront bazaar (as in years past, he's already proclaimed that his network will command double-digit CPM increases), but buyers strongly suggest that the market simply will not support that kind of extravagance.
"The speed of the market is closely aligned with how far apart either side is on a number," said Chris Geraci, president of national broadcast for OMD. "There are expectations that won't be realized, and that will probably take some time to set in."

Taiyuan Warnings and Dangers
It's not really a warning, but...
It's not really a warning, but shortage of water is embarassing enough. The warning is that if you stay in hostels or inns, take bath before the bath-rush-hour and store some water with basin for the morning.
my experience: water suddenly stopped when i just put shampoo onto my hair; i tried the switch to figure it out, and then I felt that there is something dropping down from the shower tap. I raised my face and saw muddy water drop down. I didn't take bath that night, and worse, there is no water to wash my face in the morning.
You should keep this warning in mind when you are travelling in any place in Middle Land of China, particularly in towns or less developed places.Add to your Trip Planner
