Today I have Meira Pentermann , author of Firefly Beach, visiting The Life and Lies today!
Why and when did you begin writing?
Hello, Haley. Thank you for inviting me to The Life and Lies of an Inanimate Flying Object!
I have been writing since I was twelve, mostly journals and poetry. During my thirties I had several story ideas, but I never got past a couple of chapters. In 2003, I sat down and wrote an entire novel in one month! At least I thought it was a novel. It was barely 50,000 words – not long enough to qualify as a novel – and it was frankly quite dreadful. Thankfully I had no clue at the time. That first manuscript, which I shelved in 2007, allowed me to believe I could write a full-length novel. Faith in one's self is a powerful thing.
What inspired you to write your book?
FIREFLY BEACH developed in stages before it took off in my brain and wouldn't leave me alone. I first envisioned the firefly in 2004 when my husband and I were on a retreat. We participated in a relaxation seminar. The instructor asked us to imagine a very safe and quiet space – a room, a meadow, whatever came to mind. I pictured a small beach secluded by high cliffs. But, honestly, relaxation exercises and I do not do well together. Thoughts run around in my brain in spite of my efforts to quiet them. Shortly after arriving at my special beach, a firefly joined me dancing around the cliff. Then a diary and the idea that it belonged to a long-lost girl.
That concept drifted to the back of my mind while I worked on another manuscript from 2004 through 2007. As soon as I declared that manuscript finished, the firefly returned to me, flooding me with ideas. I could not write them down fast enough. I realized that Beth's story was far more compelling than the words I labored over for three years. At that moment, the old manuscript found its way to a shelf in the back of my closet, and I passionately dove into FIREFLY BEACH.
How did you come up with the title?
The title was originally THE FIREFLY, but since I was having trouble getting past the query letter stage, I decided to poll some other writers. Maybe the title would make a difference. Why not? After a few rounds, the consensus was to try the title FIREFLY BEACH. I did receive a contract from Lyrical Press shortly thereafter, so who knows?
What books or people influenced your writing? Was it positive influence, or negative?
I have so many favorite authors as well as individuals who have inspired me over the years, but I will choose one woman who recently inspired me to self-publish FIREFLY BEACH after it went out of print (the first edition was released in March of 2009). I believe many of your readers will have heard of her – Tracey Garvis-Graves. Tracey and I met on a writer's forum called AbsoluteWrite. She had this interesting story idea about a teenager and his tutor trapped on an island in the Maldives. I sent her a message asking if I could read it. She wanted to finish the novel to cross it off of her "bucket list". We became writing buddies (call each other cyber-sister). Now she has a best-selling novel called ON THE ISLAND. She is delighted to be an indie author. In fact, she has turned down some interesting proposals, saying it is not worth it to have someone else choose her covers, set her deadlines, and tell her what to write. This really inspires me to embrace the personal power of indie publishing.
How do you go about researching for your books?
First, I do a lot of research on the Internet, especially following the roads by using Google Maps. I bookmark phases of the moon charts and sunrise/sunset calculators. In the case of FIREFLY BEACH, I researched slang and products available in the seventies, flowers and vegetation, the unique governing practices in Maine, models of cars, housing styles, sailing terms – everything I thought might need double-checking.
I also did extensive research on lighthouses, but during the editing phase I cut the lighthouse-related story elements from the manuscript. I had a chapter about Rod Thompson's parents and grandparents managing the lighthouse, but it was difficult to follow and didn't add much to the story.
Finally, the fun part, I get to visit the location! I dragged my hubby through the underbrush in Maine. Literally. I did. . . drag him through the underbrush in Maine. And he's quite pleased to remind me of that fact if I complain about the mosquitoes in our backyard.
Enjoying the hospitality of the gracious women from the Wildfire Inn in Searsport, Maine, we traveled the coast during its most rainy, least flattering season, but it was one of my favorite vacations. Virginia Point was primarily inspired by two coastal towns – Camden and Searsport, Maine.
Did you base any of your characters on real people?
I think there is a blend of people I've met in all of the characters I create. Still, they are definitely hybrids. For instance, I wouldn't say, "Mary Schmidt is exactly like so-in-so," because Mary Schmidt has a little bit of several people I've met or encountered as well as my imagination of what a boisterous b&b owner might be like.
What's the most exciting part about being a published author? What is the hardest part?
I am thrilled to receive a heartfelt email or read an enthusiastic review. I cherish each reader and appreciate every review. That is definitely the best part. The hardest part has to be when I suddenly, out of nowhere, doubt myself. It is sort of a crippling feeling and I'm not sure where it comes from. My guess is that knowing there are hundreds of people out there somewhere reading the book, I feel like I'm naked on a stage; something like that. So I have to practice belief until the doubt dissolves.
Do you have any other books planned in the future?
I recently published NINE-TENTHS, a dystopian science fiction, and I am currently working on a grade 3-6 novel called SARAH AND THE MAGIC MAYONNAISE JAR. I have genre-commitment-phobia. I can't seem to help myself. The novel should be available by the end of 2012. I am working with an outstanding new illustrator, Rachel Loftus, and I am excited to bring my daughter's favorite story to life.
Which of your characters is your favorite? Do you dislike any of them?
I like them all. . . Well, I enjoyed writing all of them. Most of the characters are flawed or damaged in some way as well as gifted or insightful in other aspects of life. My favorite character is Kenny McLeary, the jeweler. The character I dislike the most is Mack McLeary, Kenny's father.
What advice can you give to young writers who want to publish their books?
I could give aspiring authors pages of concrete device about editing and querying, but there are thousands of websites and blogs which give excellent advice in more detail than I could do here. So I'll focus on the one thing I know. You must first believe that it is a very real possibility.
The achievement of any dream begins with the assertion, "I will do this." Dreams that remain sheltered under words like "I wish" or "I'm not sure" will never see the light of day. I'm not saying a doubt or two won't rear its ugly head from time to time, but it is important to swat that doubt away as soon as possible. It is a pesky little gnat, a poisonous distraction.
Practice belief. Dispel doubt. If no one comes to your aid in a moment of despair, you must be strong and hold out until the doubt passes. Write your goals on paper. Post them on the wall. Declare them and never give up.
Just for fun:
What do you do when you're not writing?
Read, read, read!
Do you have any pets?
Yes. One black lab who is my best friend. Two cats who often sit in my office while I'm writing :)
What are your favorite (and least favorite) foods?
I love Mexican food and don't care for Thai food. They are both spicy, but I prefer peppers and cilantro.
Is there a specific place in the house (or out of the house) that you like to write?
Most of the time I write in my home office, but I actually really enjoy taking a laptop to the library. Also, my family has treated me with several writer's weekends. I go to a hotel on Friday night and return on Sunday morning. Both of my published books were launched during a writer's weekend.
If you could go anywhere in the whole world, either for a vacation or to live there, where would you go?
London. We visited last year and I would love to go again!
What was your favorite and least favorite subject in school?
My favorite subject was astronomy and my least favorite was P.E.
What book are you reading right now?
My daughter (12) is obsessed with a fantasy series called FABLEHAVEN, and every day she asks me, "Where are you in FABLEHAVEN?" There are five books in the series, so I will be reading it for a while. It's very clever – a fun read.
Tell us a random fact about you that we never would have guessed.
I'm afraid of clowns ;)
Thanks for visiting Meira!
About Meira
On slow, snowy days in her Colorado home, Meira Pentermann enjoys cozying up on the couch with a novel. Naturally, snow is not a requirement; neither is the couch. In fact, she sees no reason not to indulge in reading three-hundred-and-sixty-five days a year. Apocalyptic science fiction, mysteries, and young adult titles top her Kindle list, but legal thrillers and chik-lit make an appearance now and then.
When not absorbed in writing or reading, Meira enjoys life's little moments with her family – the love and devotion of her black lab, the quiet wisdom of her artistic twenty-one-year-old, the trials and triumphs of her petite sixth grader, and the unlimited encouragement offered by her Dutch husband.
Meira strives to write stories that deliver the unexpected. She prefers down-to-earth characters that look and behave like regular folks. The prom queen and Adonis take a backseat to reclusive, soul-searching heroines and quirky, introverted gentlemen.

Personal Note: As a long-time boater who sailed the North Atlantic I must put in a word of commendation for the Coast Guard, a relatively unsung group of heroes. Their heroism is aptly summed up in the motto of the U.S. Life-Saving Service & Coast Guard and refers to getting a rescue call during a storm..
"You have to go out but you don't have to come back!"
From a commander commenting on a dangerous rescue attempt off Cape Hatteras "'The Blue Book says we've got to go out and it doesn't say a damn thing about having to come back.'"
Meaning, of course, no matter what the risk to the rescue service, they ALWAYS attempt the rescue.
If I were editorializing, I would add that what they don't do is continue on their vacation another couple days, but I'm not, so I won't.

Bank of America's New Report Touts Green Image, Downplays Dirty Emissions
posted by
This morning Bank of America rolled out its annual
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report
, which proudly promotes the company's commitment to greening their public image but fails to address its biggest environmental impact:
financing the coal industry
. Bank of America wants to have it both ways: The bank wants to appear as a responsible corporate actor, but still benefit from destructive coal mining and coal-fired utilities. Its CSR report reeks of hypocrisy as it profits at the expense of communities and our environment while also identifying itself as a climate champion. [caption id="attachment_19335" align="alignnone" width="550" caption="Like and share this image on Facbeook! Just click the image to be taken straight to FB."]
[/caption] Bank of America claims to be "
working to finance the transition to a lower-carbon future
", yet commitments to renewable energy and energy efficiency only make progress towards greening its own image. To stem the impending climate crisis, however, the burning of coal must be phased out of the U.S. energy grid. According to its CSR report, Bank of America acknowledges the impact of these investments by reporting on emissions of utilities in its lending portfolio. However, the bank's reporting methodology is flawed and non-transparent. As it has in the past, the bank only reports on emissions from 75% of its utility portfolio, providing an incomplete assessment of emissions associated with the bank's lending activities. Without full disclosure, it remains unclear whether the bank is actually shifting its lending away from the most coal-intensive utilities or whether the bank's lending practices have lagged a national shift away from coal-fired power generation and towards cleaner alternatives. Bank of America's
Environmental Business Initiative
, while a step in the right direction, is insufficient to offset the environmental damage caused by its lending practices. The $3.65 billion lending component of BofA's 2011 commitment represents less than half a percent of the bank's total loans and leases as of December 2011 ($926 billion). In contrast, the bank charged off more than five times as much in bad debt during 2011 ($20.8 billion). Were the bank to offset the emissions from its utility portfolio in 2011, we estimate that the cost would far exceed this $3.65 billion amount. This report fails to address Bank of America's position as the number one underwriter of the coal mining industry or report plans for reducing fossil fuel investments. In fact, the record shows increases in spending. In 2010 and 2011,
Bank of America provided $6.4 billion in underwriting for U.S. coal
. Bank of America has its hands in a dirty business, where the drive for profit outweighs consequences like human and environmental catastrophes associated with climate change. The bank is the largest financier of the coal industry in the U.S., and funds every stage of coal's life cycle. It spends billions each year underwriting destructive mountaintop removal mining and utilities that operate coal-burning power plants. It's time for Bank of America to phase out funding for the coal industry. The impacts on the climate and public health make it a dangerous investment. Bank of America's best course forward would be to end its investment in fossil fuels. Check out this video of people who traveled to Bank of America's annual shareholder meeting to explain to the bank the impacts of its financing of the coal industry in their communities: [youtube TsMB2CuP3zM 550]

Synopsis: Around the world, whether or not we are at war or involved in a military action, soldiers are deployed to service leaving their families behind. Everyday, children of military personnel are being confronted with the difficulties of having a parent deployed in the service of our country. Children's book author and military brat, Michelle Ferguson-Cohen, has written, "Daddy, you're my hero!" and "Mommy, you're my hero!" to help military and reservist's families speak with children about deployment.
Little Redhaired Girl Publishing, Inc. hears from many educators, parents, psychologists and military FRGs (Family Readiness Groups) who are using the books as a resource to help speak with their children about the deployment of a parent and war in general.
The books address deployment from a child's perspective. They talk about this separation in a simple manner to assure and comfort small children. The books also suggest tips to maintain communication and deal with feelings of helplessness.
"I wrote these books from my heart. I know what it's like to experience what these children are facing," says Ferguson-Cohen. "My own father was deployed in the service of our country many times when I was young."
It was important to the author that children of military personnel see themselves represented in the media and that the message they received was of both "pride and sensitivity". "You should address a child?s fears," she says "But it?s important the message isn?t so dramatic it worries them further. I also wanted to give children permission to be proud of their parents."
From the Publisher: The two titles are the first in the Books for Brats series for children of parents in military and public service brought to you by Little Red Haired Girl Publishing.

Ned's first season on the Lansdowne 1st XV was in 1926 at the age of 19 and he continued on unbroken run on the firsts for 9 seasons until 1934/35 when he captained the team. This was a golden era in the club history when the Leinster Senior Cp was won on 6 occasions, including 5 in a row. Some of the all time greats amongst Lansdowne players such as Davy, Arigho, Crowe, Bailey, Hogan et al, were his team mates during that period when the Bateman Cup was won on several occasions.
He was once described as having "almost irresistible, terminal, velocity and strength wear the line, a character in any side." Ned won his first cap against France in 1931 which was lost 3-0 at Stade Colombes and he went on to win 11 consecutive caps up to and including Scotland in 1933.
He had the novel experience of playing for Ireland in 1931 against Scotland and Wales when the entire three quarter line consisted of Lansdowne players, Davy, Crowe, Arigho and Lightfoot. At the end of his playing career he continued to involve himself in the club activities as a supporter and in Committees and was President of the club in 1951/52

A report claimed the board had unanimously accepted a bid, which amounted to £140million and the club's £87million debt, from US hedge fund Polygon and the United Bank of Switzerland. However, the Magpies swiftly released a statement to the Stock Exchange denying the claims.
"The board wishes to clarify that it has not accepted any proposals for the company from any party nor is any due diligence being conducted on the company," it said.
"Therefore there can be no certainty that an offer will be made, nor as to the terms on which any offer would be made.
"A further statement will be made as appropriate."

Control The Anxiety Attack Symptom Before It Overcomes You Total
These signs can vary from person to person, though some signs prevail to every patient of anxiety attacks. Some of the more common anxiety attack signs are pounding of the heart, shortness of breath, in addition to feeling light in the head.
By recognizing these and other anxiety attack signs in time, you will stand a substantially better chance to take prompt action to relieve the symptoms, as well as to learn to remain tranquil, even during the attack. The most typical of these symptoms is that of a pounding in the heart, which often convinces the patient that they are actually going to experience a heart attack and will die any time soon, however in reality, nothing like this is happening.
Another typical anxiety attack sign is that of having breathlessness, in which the patient will feel like their breathing has become really shallow, or really rapid, and this in turn will cause them to panic much more, and their anxiety levels will end up being severe.
Feeling light in the head is another anxiety attack sign, and this symptom makes the patient believe that they are going to faint, and such symptoms impact those people that have phobias of crowds, and take place whenever they are hemmed in by a fair number of people, and also when they happen to be in crowded areas.
Another anxiety attack sign is experiencing sensations of being out of control in both the body and mind, and in addition to the pounding of the heart and breathlessness, the cumulative effect of these anxiety attack symptoms is that the patient will feel exceptionally anxious and powerless, in addition to becoming much unfocused.
The only great news in regard to these and other anxiety attack symptoms is that there are ways to obtain aid in order to manage the symptoms before they overcome you totally. If these anxiety attack signs are not understood and acted on, they can turn into a really vicious circle that can cause unknown damage to the patient's physical and emotional wellness.

A grey winter morning in Kyoto and I – along with several hundred writers, chefs, and nutrition experts from around the world – sit in a conference hall listening to the Michelin-starred French chef Alain Ducasse sing the praises of Japanese food.
"The strict selection of ingredients and the sense of the four seasons are reflected [in Japanese cooking]. Longstanding experience is necessary – but we need to know and learn the basics of washoku," says Ducasse.
His enthusiasm isn't surprising considering that just over a year ago, Japan's washoku became the second cuisine, after French, to be given heritage status by UNESCO (The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). To celebrate, the country's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries organised the three-day long Washoku-do, The World Japanese Cuisine Show.
The French chef's presence is indicative of a growing awareness of the intricacies of Japanese food at its best. It's a trend the Japanese government is keen to encourage.
Though there are between 55-60,000 Japanese restaurants in the world, only 10% of them actually have a Japanese chef working there. Organisers of the conference want chefs outside of Japan to customise washoku with authentic methods and ingredients local to their area - but also ensure the world sees that there is more to Japanese cuisine than sushi.
The Mayor of Kyoto, Daisaku Kadokawa, tells us about the training programme he introduced last year. He hopes to encourage chefs from other nations to come to Japan to gain hands-on experience with chefs, which they then can bring back to kitchens in all corners of the world.
There is also a competition, the Washoku World Challenge. Set up for non-Japanese chefs from outside the country, the 10 finalists – hailing from Italy to Thailand – have been selected to visit Kyoto to prepare their dishes for the panel of judges. Again, this is all in the hope that their skills would be cultivated and shared on their return, thus promoting authentic Japanese cuisine.
Though there are several popular Japanese chains in the UK - including Japanese fusion restaurant Wagamama, founded by legendary restaurateur Alan Yau and now has more than 100 outlets in the UK - none of these chains were founded by Japanese chefs.
The most popular Japanese cuisine in the UK is sushi, and the industry is now worth £56 million annually. But the style can be different from what one would see in Japan. The California Roll, a classic sushi dish seen in the West, was invented in America, where sushi tends to have more ingredients (such as cream cheese or avocado) than traditional Japanese sushi, which should allow the flavours of the basic ingredients to shine through without too much seasoning. The type of knife used to create the dish is credited with bringing out the right flavours and stop the flesh of the fish bruising, so carefully learned cutting techniques are principal.
In fact, there is a growing awareness of washoku. British chefs such as Heston Blumenthal and Sat Bains have spoken about how they adopted methods seen in traditional Japanese cuisine. The UK's first Japanese cooking school, Sozai, also opened in 2013, just before Keiichi Hayashi, the Japanese Ambassador to Britain, declared 2014 "the year of washoku".
The healthy eating trends of 2015
The healthy eating trends of 2015
1/10 Acai bowls are the new green juice
Who ever thought we'd have been ok with adding spinach to our smoothies? Yet even virtuous green juices started to get something of a bad rep, as the 'juice fast' backlash grew and it turned out that some shop-bought juices contained as much sugar as a can of fizzy drink. Bring on Acai bowls, the new darlings of Instagram. Like a gloopier smoothie, these are made with antioxidant-rich acai berries (they are hard to come by - search for powdered or dried berries or frozen puree), which are said to aid weight loss. Blend with frozen bananas, berries and a little nut milk and top with whatever you like - seeds, nuts, cacao nibs, goji berries. A picture-perfect purple powerhouse for breakfast.

2/10 Bone broth is the new Miso soup
Remember back in the day when the word 'broth' would conjure up visions of Dickensian orphanages? Then miso came along, Gwyneth embraced it, and we all followed suit, lauding how filling and protein rich with little wonder broth was. We've come full circle now, as bone broth is back on the radar. The glowing-with-health Hemsley sisters seem to use bone broth in most of their recipes, and rave about its nutritional benefits. "Bone broth is a nourishing all rounder packed with vitamins, minerals, collagen and keratin which makes it amazing for skin – including the dreaded cellulite! The healthy fats in the broth help you to assimilate important vitamins including Vit D." There you go, something to stew over...

3/10 Bee pollen is the new Manuka honey
Every health hipster has a jar of manuka honey on their shelves - if they can afford it that is, a jar can cost about £15. But many claim it is worth its weight in gold, due to its unique antibacterial properties. Traditionally it was used on wounds, but many also claim that it performs miracles combatting cholesterol, diabetes, cancer and digestive problems (although the science is limited). Now bee pollen is the latest 'superfood' out there - thought to ward off colds, limit food cravings, improve skin tone, ward off allergies like hay fever (although some caution that it may exacerbate them) and, of course, fight cancer. Again, the science behind these claims is dubious - but it certainly adds a nice sweetness to your morning porridge.
4/10 Kelp is the new kale
Last year saw the emergence of an unassuming green leaf that was previously barely used beyond cattle feed. Now, we have kale chips in Pret, kale juices, 'massaged' kale salads - it's even on the menu in fine dining restaurants. Yawn. Introducing kelp. This seaweed is high in iodine, which is said to improve thyroid function and control metabolism. It is also thought to have anti-aging properties for skin and hair. Try it in salads or add to asian-style soups.
5/10 Matcha is the new green tea
Yes, yes, yes, green tea, weightloss, yadda yadda yadda, boosts metabolism, etc etc. For 2015, though, it's not about just any old green tea - this is matcha green tea. Made from finely milled high-grade matcha leaves, which are grown in the shade, matcha boasts 130 times more anti-oxidants than your bog standard green tea and is supposed to boost energy levels, lower stress, improve your mood and aid metabolism. It can be consumed as a regular tea, added to steamed milk for a matcha latte or even used to add a pleasant green shade and flavour to ice-cream.
6/10 Whole 30 is the new Paleo diet
Thought you were a culinary champ with your caveman-style eating plan? Well, think again, paleo is for wimps! Ok, not quite, but while people on the paleo plan cut out grains, legumes, sugar and processed foods, there is an increasing trend to paleo-fy your treats, with almond-flour pancakes, banana bread and a lot of brownies. The Whole 30 plan is a purer, stricter version of Paleo and really takes you back to basics when it comes to eating natural foods. The 30-day plan bans scales as well as sugar and alcohol, so that you can concentrate on nourishment rather than weight.
7/10 Fermenting is the new sprouting
Just when we thought we were ahead of the game by starting to sprout our own seeds and with sprouted flours creeping on to the market, the health set had to kick it up a notch. Now it's all about making your own kombucha (fermented tea), sauerkraut or kimchi (both kinds of pickled cabbage). Fermented foods are said to aid digestion thanks to the creation of enzymes and probiotics in the process. Plus they tend to be high in B-vitamins and Omega-3 fatty acids. Think of it as the new jam-making, and break out those mason jars.

8/10 Banana flour is the new coconut flour
Coconut flour was one of the coolest baking ingredients of the year, beloved by Paleo fans. Its highly absorbent qualities mean you only need a tiny bit for baking, keeping your creations low carb but resulting in the odd dry-crumbly-mess baking fail. Banana flour is the next flour to experiment with. Made from green bananas (and no, not banana-flavoured), it is gluten free and light in texture, so ideal for baking. High in resistant starch, which is effective against colon cancer, obesity, and diabetes, it is already being lauded for its nutritional benefits in Africa and South America, and will surely start to become much more visible on health-food shop shelves in the near future.
9/10 Bulletproof coffee is the new soy latte
Nowadays it is possible to walk into almost any cafe and order a soy latte without being eyeballed as a lunatic by the person behind the counter. But would you have the guts to request a stick of butter in your morning brew? Well, some coffee shops are offering exactly that. Bulletproof coffee is a paleo-friendly invention which involves a black coffee with a dollop of coconut oil or butter. Bleurgh. But advocates say it gives you more slow-release energy, sharpens your brain and helps you to focus - and even that it is delicious. Now the theory has been expanded into a whole 'Bulletproof' diet plan, rich in fat. Who wants to bet on when Starbucks will give it a shot?
Allan Amato
10/10 Tiger nuts are the new almonds
2014 was a good year for almonds. Gym-goers and raw foodists alike carried around a stash for healthy, protein-rich snacking, almond-milk lattes were quaffed, and almond flour featured in so many paleo and gluten-free treats. Now tiger nuts, or 'earth almonds' (yes, really), are about to vie for snacking superiority. Tiger nuts are not nuts, but the tubers of the sedge plant. Originally a key food source for Paleolithic Indians, they have until recently been used as animal feed or a side dish in South America, Africa and the Middle East, or in Hispanic companies made into a sweet, milky drink called horchata. But now the hipsters have got their hands on it, drying, roasting and flavouring with the likes of sweet chilli for an on-the-go snack. High in healthy fats, protein and natural sugar, it is rich in energy content, and thought to help prevent heart disease and improve circulation.
We've also seen growth in popularity for other Japanese cooking styles such as Yakitori (grilled chicken skewers), Tempura (deep friend seafood and vegetables), and more recently Kaiseki (multicourse meal for special occasions). Ramen noodles have also become widespread. But the dish taking centre stage at The World Japanese Cuisine Show is Bento, Japan's famously beautiful lunch box meal. Typically divided into four compartments, it contains rice, sashimi, namasu (pickled fish and vegetables), and a simmered or grilled dish or a salad.
Originally a Chinese dish which moved to Kyoto in the 1300s, Bento is becoming popular in France. While sushi is a lunchtime staple in the UK, with various chains and supermarkets showing how the dish has truly taken on the sandwich, Bento boxes are extremely popular in Japan. And it's easy to see the appeal: a fresh, colourful, low-calorie, but generously portioned meal.
During my time at the conference, Kiyomi Mikuni, one of Tokyo's most respected chefs, takes us through the ingredients of the Bento box. It takes the amount of protein, fat and carbohydrate into consideration, as a good nutritional balance is one significant characteristic of washoku, as well as the aim to appeal to all the senses. (A good PFC balance is considered to be 15% Protein, 25% Fat and 60% carbohydrates).
The Bento we are served includes Ampo-Gaki (semi-dried persimmon), which is a local speciality of Fukushima. Ducasse believes that misguided scepticism following the Fukushima Daiichi disaster of 2011, where the world's worst nuclear meltdown since Chernobyl took place following a tsunami, is a barrier for some to enjoy Japanese food: 'People think the food isn't safe,' he says, 'it is, and this has to be explained.'
It's impossible not to be impressed with the aesthetics and taste of the Bento. Even better, we're told that it's only 590 calories – surprising for a meal so filling. The awareness of calorific content is unsurprising, however, as health is a top priority in Japan. The Specific Health Checkup, coined the 'metabo (overweight) law' was introduced in 2008, which saw local governments and employers monitor the waistlines of people between the ages of 40 to 74 every year: men's waistlines must not exceed 85cm, and women's 90cm. If they do, they will be given health guidance, such as counselling, monitoring and support. Only about 3.5% of the population is classified as obese in Japan, compared to around 64% of adults being classed as being overweight or obese in the UK.
As well as the health benefits of washoku, beautiful presentation is key to traditional Japanese cooking. Before the conference I meet Fujita Takako, specialist in Japanese cuisine and owner of a Japanese cooking school in Tokyo. She describes the effort which goes into cooking: "Each dish has elaborate care. You can enjoy the sight of the dishes so you feel satisfied even before you're full." Japanese tableware is traditionally passed through generations, so an eclectic and intricately patterned range of beautiful crockery which reflects the seasons is featured in every meal. As our dishes are served in a traditional zashiki setting, Takako also compliments Jamie Oliver's campaign to make school dinners in the UK healthier, a sentiment reiterated when I later spoke to celebrity chef Harumi Kurihara (who is often compared to Martha Stewart or Nigella Lawson), who again brings up Oliver's campaign. As the most recognised female chef in Japan, it is clear from speaking to her that health and nutrition is also hugely important in her cooking.
As our time at the conference draws to a close, judge and chef Yoshihiro Takahashi says 'washoku is a matter of spirituality' and praises the elegance of the cuisine. Ducasse also said the key aspects of washoku are both the locally-sourced ingredients, and 'the harmonious Zen technique of preparation.' Several beautifully presented Bento boxes later, and a peek into the spotless, calm and organised environment where washoku is traditionally prepared, it's easy to see the appeal of Bento. These delicious, low-calorie meals might just be able to give sushi a run for its lunch money.Reuse content

- 1 pound new potatoes (about 8-10)
- ½ cup cheddar cheese
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Chives, chopped
- Bacon (optional, omit for veggie-friendly version)
- Toby's Ranch Dressing
- Start by boiling your potatoes for about 15 minutes or until they are fork tender.

A GANG clash outside a Bolton takeaway led to the death of a man from stab wounds.
The perpetrator, 19-year-old Jabar Ahmed (pictured, left) has been convicted of the manslaughter of 25-year-old Rabid Amin, who was attacked in Bolton town centre on 19 November 2006.
Ahmed of Campbell Street, Farnworth, was convicted of manslaughter after a two-week long trial.
A second man, Gulstan Azam, aged 26, of Rawson Street, Farnworth, pleaded guilty to violent disorder for his part in the same incident.
On the night of the stabbing the victim was at J2 nightclub with friends known locally the Great Lever/Manchester Road gang.
Also in the nightclub were another local group, the Farnworth/Moses Gate gang, which included Ahmed and Azam.
After Mr Amin and Ahmed had 'squared-up' to each other both groups left the club and went separately to two takeaways.
Ahmed approached rival group and asked who would buy him a pizza.
This clash led to a 'one-on-one' between Ahmed and Mr Amin which degenerated into a mass brawl.
Police arrived and one officer managed to pull Ahmed off Mr Amin and he was arrested.
Around the same time Azam was seen to viciously kick Mr Amin in the neck. Azam was also arrested.
The victim was bleeding heavily and a nine inch-long black-handled kitchen knife with a bent blade was seen nearby on the floor. Medics discovered he had been stasbbed 16 times
Mr Amin was then taken by ambulance to Bolton Royal Hospital where he subsequently died.

Todos os itens no quarto eram de primeira e luxuosos. O barulho do tráfego era muito alto à noite
A elegância do Sul em que é melhor. Tivemos de sair.
Bela academia. Os quartos foram quartos limpos e espaçosos. A equipe foi excelente e amigável. Localização perfeita. Problemas de ar condicionado repetidas em nosso quarto.
Este é um dos nossos hotéis favoritos no centro de Charleston! A localização é fantástica, mesmo no coração do centro, com muitos restaurantes e lojas a poucos passos de distância. Nós nos hospedamos em muitos hotéis diferentes, e este é um dos nossos favoritos, além disso a praia fica a 10 minutos de carro! Você precisa ficar lá na próxima vez que for para Charleston.
Tudo Nada
A localização é a melhor coisa do hotel. O manobrista era muito desorganizado e nunca previa os horários de pico Tive que levar minha bagagem para o quarto sozinho... Muito caro para o serviço ou a falta dele.
Necessidades Spa ajuda!
Gostei do ambiente e atenção de pessoal. Excelente área de ginásio e spa. Localização perfeita para compras e refeições. Falta de filmes no quarto.
Não vale o preço. Quartos muito caro
Localização excelente. O Hotel surpeendeu pela beleza e conforto das instalações, além de ser atracão turística em muitos passeios locais em razão de se encontrar em um prédio histórico.
Localização perfeita no coração do centro de Charleston. Hotel histórico muito agradável por um preço razoável. Reformas em andamento. Pergunte antes de reservar para ter certeza de que completaram.
breakfest was great, good lokation downtown
The location within historic Charleston was convenient to everything. We were able to walk to all of our chosen destinations! The amenities offered were excellent, the staff was very friendly and helpful, the room was very comfortable. Would love to go back there and stay longer!! Can't think of anything we did not like.
Room was very clean, uniquely decorated and furnished. Breakfast, while not great, was better than most I've experienced in the States. Great location close to the Market and other sites in downtown Charleston. Easy walking distance. Front desk staff was not very helpful or friendly. Bathroom did not have a fan, the sink water was always luke warm. No coffee machine in room. The price of the room was not worth the value of the room. Parking could be an issue.
Location is great - convenient walking distance to all areas. The larger room is perfect for two friendly staff the breakfast is very good and convenient the daily wine and cheese is an added plus! paid parking is convenient when we arrived - the small room we had smelled very moldy - we went back to the office and they gave us a better , larger room our room was in the inner core - so no windows - the good news was that it allowed us to sleep longer in the morning
it was restful, convienent, and clean
Handy for everything . no
We were in Charleston for a wedding and stayed 3 nights at Andrew Pinckney Inn. Location was within walking distance of the restaurants, cathedral and aquarium chosen by the wedding couple for the weekend events. Sandy was especially helpful with recommendations and assistance booking a city tour and transportation when we needed it. The hotel was lovely and intimate with just 40 rooms. Beautiful floral arrangements, breakfast on the roof top, fresh cookies and coffee, tea, water and lemonade in the lobby and attention to detail made our stay very memorable. Charleston is well worth the trip! We paid $319 + tax and fees for Friday and Saturday night. $199 + for Sunday night. I returned home to have an e-mail promotion from Snique Away for Andrew Pinckney Inn for $109 per night. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, but now feel that Booking.com was not my best option when booking a hotel. Prime weekend with USC graduation may have played a factor.
The breakfast on the roof top. The location in relationship to downtown Charleston. The bed was comfortable. The room was clean. The room had too big of furniture for the size of the room, esp the desk area. There was no swimming pool, jacuzzi, etc. Our room location was next to the entrance and it was a bit loud with the comings and goings. The maids started too early to clean rooms and it caused more noise in the hallway.
It was close to everything downtown. The price for the size of the room and the parking.
Excelente localização para turistas Muito barulhento durante a noite com tudo acontecendo
O AC é barulhento
Excelente localização, funcionários simpáticos. Um pouco caro para comodidades fornecidas.
Funcionários simpáticos
The rooms were recently renovated and very nice. We were treated well by the staff. It was in a very convenient location. would definatley stay there again
The location was very good. I liked that they gave you 2 water bottles each day. The shower was great and the bathroom was VERY large. The bed was very uncomfortable and the pillows were a joke. They were tiny and lumpy. The room could have been better maintained. One of the drawer pulls came loose. One day we didn't have enough towels. They usually provide 3 or 4, but we only had 2. I use 2 towels when I shower (one for hair and one for body). I didn't realize there were not enough towels. My husband got out of the shower and didn't have a towel! I had to give him one of my wet towels. When I told the girl at the front desk, she didn't even apologize. She just made a note to provide us with extra towels. We didn't want EXTRA towels. We just wanted the normal number. The AC was VERY loud! I had to turn up the TV every time it turned on.
Convenient to Historic Charleston Parking across the street - but only once. Other times parkng was available in the hotel parking lot.
Location. Staff. Coffee should be put out earlier, between 6 and 6:30 rather than 7 am.
A very good room, bed and bathroom, well located No complaints
Clean - but feels like motel 6 .. For $ 300 a night - u really get nothing but location .. Didn't like anything at all but the location - if they charged 145 a night and not 290 I prob would rave .. But for 290 a night one expect more services .. Or at least room service ...
We particularly liked the helpfulness of the staff.
The staff was very efficient. They helped me with every request I had. They also were very helpful on answering questions I had about the city. The only problem I encountered was ordering room breakfast on Sunday morning. We had an early flight and wanted to have breakfast before leaving to the airport. I asked for an order slip at the front desk, and I was not told breakfast was not served on early Sunday mornings. By the time I was leaving, I got a call from the restaurant informing me there was no room service until later. Obviously, th problem is that the slip you fill out does not specify the exception of early breakfast on weekends.
location price
This is a first rate hotel! Will not stay anywhere else in Charleston. If you want the ultimate Charleston experience it is a must to stay at the Market Pavillion.
Great location. Only issue that we had was the WiFi didn't work well even though we had a router in the room. They changed it out twice & the service was still intermittent. The hotel was slow to respond.
Beautiful hotel, great location, great service! Definitely will be back!
Great location. Friendly staff. Large rooms. Roof top bar was a lovely spot for a late afternoon drink and to watch the sunset over charleston. The first room we checked into was smelly and overlooked a parking lot. Terrible room but the hotel was quick to relocate us to a much better room. For the price we paid for our room the first room should not have been given to us. A subpar room for a superior hotel.
I loved the turn down service each night.
Valet and Bellmen were on point, room was comfortable, location was good. Check-in staff was a little stuffy, room window was beside auxiliary generator that came on very loudly while we were there, and a parking deck, NO VIEW AT ALL! Got a text ahead of time to let me know we would be getting a high floor with a view only to get just the opposite. The rooftop bar and restaurant was more of a tourist destination with the feel of a national restaurant chain. Due to the rooftop situation the elevator was crowded and slow.
Character and charm were fantastic and the staff were attentive and always willing to give a hand. Danny's help in the lobby area couldn't have been better!
Location was fantastic. Easy and short walk to the main attractions in the historic district. The staff were super helpful, from the consierge service to the valet parking. Restaurant staff were pleasant and responsive. Hotel was clean and very well maintained. We would return.
Staff is gracious and welcoming. Our room was spotless. Other reviewers have noted that rooms are small. Fine by us as we tend to spend very little time in the room while in Charleston. (We are frequent visitors to the city.) Our stay was blissfully quiet. The courtyard is charming and inviting - if only it had a bar...Location: perfect. Easy walk to anything in Charleston you might want, and gorgeous in all directions. This was our first stay at Elliott House - we'll definitely be back. Nothing
loved the location, the free wine and cheese reception from 5-6, the courteous staff and the comfortable beds. The shower was absolutely awful. More specifically, the water pressure in the shower was awful. I couldn't get clean, and when I told the staff they let me know they would have a plumber there within 24 hours, which was after we had left and taken two AWFUL showers.
Location clean professional staff comfortable rooms wine and cheese and breakfast too wow
I've stayed at the Elliott House several times over the years. Love the location and breakfast delivered to the room.
Excellent, quiet location for historic district. The courtyard would have been very pleasant in good weather. Staff were helpful. Small room overdecorated, with no place to put personal items. Rained hard all day, with no indoor dining area, so breakfast and wine and cheese reception were not offered in the courtyard. Breakfast choices were very limited. Would benefit from better bad weather planning.
Nice hotel with a fantastic location. Not overly spacious but that is typical of historic properties. Small bathroom.
Proximity to restaurants/shops. Was hesitant to book after reading the many negative reviews about the the hotels lack of cleanliness and finally booked thinking, 'it's probably just people over reacting'... It's not. When we checked in and arrived to our room, the previous guests' room service tray was still outside. Not a big deal, but queued my curiosity about inside. Upon entering it all looked clean. Bed made, bathroom dry and stocked. When I finally took a seat on the bed, I saw it. The linens had multiple brown and red stains on the quilt and pillowcases. And a few strands of hair. We immediately asked for the bed to be remade (which they did and apologized for), but it was still difficult feeling comfortable when we crawled in bed after a long day.
Wonderful stay in beautiful courtyard patio room. The staff were responsive and helpful without being intrusive. Even when we made difficulty for them (demand for in-room refrigerator; screw up on date of check out; arriving with two vehicles instead of one) the staff handled it superbly and with grace. Loved being near the shops along King St and the restaurants on Meeting and Market. The bar was just that - not a sports locker room or TV lounge; perfect for a drink and a talk. My only frustration was that the weather was nice but not nice enough to dine romantically in the courtyard after dark. This is NOT a criticism. The Peninsula Grill (the only in-house eatery) is a fine establishment but expensive with a menu unsuited for anything but fine dining. An in-house or affiliated restaurant serving more family/daily meal focused fare would be an added bonus, especially if combined with some limited ability to have the meal delivered ala room service.
The service was great. I really felt pampered. The attention to detail was evident. Our butler made us feel welcomed and well cared for. The free snacks available in the room were a nice touch. The bed was very comfortable. Everyone there, from the doorman to the front desk to the cleaning staff made you feel like your well being was a priority. Being that the hotel is only 3 stories high a scenic view was lacking. It is a bit pricey so that a longer term stay may be cost prohibitive.
Breakfast in room, large luxurious bathrooms, bikes for peddling around city, butler for any service Nothing
The hotel is in the historic district which made it where we checked in, parked the car and the entire stay we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. It is half a block to the city market and horse carriage ride. 5 min walk to the waterfront park. And located all around it are fantastic restaurants. The staff was very friendly and gave us some great tips on things to do. When we come back to Charleston we will stay here again
My visit was wonderful. The entire staff was gracious, helpful, pleasant and helpful. The staff in the breakfast room was outstanding. Valet parking was a plus!
Very good location, seamless valet parking through check in procedure.Very impressive lobby and above average room. They took the trouble to send on an item left behind. Arriving at breakfast from our room location, we didn't see the check-in podium and were dealt with rather strictly by the hostess when we went directly to a table.
Close to all shops & resturants No cold Water
Good location.
very pleasent stay
It was in a wonderful location. Being right in the heart of the historic district made it easyto visit by walking to every place. A little over priced for the room. A little more expensive for the room and facility
THe guest services, the valet parking and bell people were great. The location was fabulous; everything we needed or wanted was within walking distance.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed talking to people about the area and received good directions to several area venues. I felt the price was a bit high.
This is a very beautiful hotel in downtown savannah. If you are located in room 299 then move as there is a night club located right next door and you will be up until 2am. The staff are not helpful. I missed my business meeting the next day.
The Staff - Margo was very nice, helpful with suggestions, and great to talk with. The Facilities - This B & B is an historical treasure, but also updated tastefully and fully functional. Very comfortable. The Food - The made to order breakfast was very good and a nice touch being included in the room. Extras - We liked the small touches, such as complementary bottle water always available. When you stay here, you don't get nickel-and-dimes like at the typical hotel.

Description: From Anthony Trollope, Charles Dickens, and Thomas Hardy, through Rudyard Kipling, H.G. Wells, D.H. Lawrence, and Virginia Woolf, right up to Graham Greene, J.G. Ballard, Angela Carter, Ian McEwan, and many others, The Oxford Book of English Short Stories encompasses comedy and tragedy, farce and delicacy, elegance and the grotesque. Edited by noted novelist A.S. Byatt, the thirty-seven stories gathered here range from social realism to surreal fantasy, from rural poverty to war-blitzed London, from tales of the supernatural to precise delineations of the mundane, all unified by Byatt's demanding criteria that the works be both "startling and satisfying, and if possible make the hairs on the neck prickle with excitement, aesthetic or narrative." For short story lovers and anyone unable to resist the enchantments of the English imagination, The Oxford Book of Short Stories offers a wide array of unforgettable pleasures, now reissued with a fresh, contemporary feel.

Excellent medical facilities for heart treatment in India
When it comes to treatment for heart disease, the best place to be is India. This is because you have excellent hospitals equipped with the latest gadgets and medical machines to give treatment for the patients who come there. Most of these hospitals are located within the urban limits of the metropolises in India.
Pick the best hospital for heart care
You can choose the best heart hospital in India based on the infrastructure it has. Or, you could choose it based on the number of years it has served in this line of medical treatment. Most of the people choose the older hospitals since this means that it will have many experienced doctors and surgeons there. Most of the infrastructural facilities such as canteen and nursing services too will be well developed.
Cheap medical facility
Another way to judge a hospital is by the cost of the medical services. The government hospitals score high in this respect but there are a few hospitals in the private sector that is dedicated to the service of the poor and needy people. So, you find some hospitals with first rate facilities that does not cost the earth.
Read the details on the hospital website
You can check how good the hospital is by visiting the website of the hospital. You will find the list of services and the names of the attending physicians and surgeons. They also mention how experienced the doctor is and so you can form an idea of whether this is what you want. They give the visitors the details of what the treatment is going to be and how much it will cost. This will help them gauge the time and the likely course of action they must take.
India has good facilities
Since there is no dearth of heart hospitals in India one is assured of timely and effective treatment always. In fact, India has very large concentration of heart hospitals making it easy for anyone to access the facilities if they needed treatment. If 7youwant good care for your heart you need good heart specialists. Choose the hospital that has the most renowned specialists and you will get the best possible medical treatment.
Make an appointment
If you need to undergo heart surgery, make an appointment with the surgeon and find out what you need to do. He will tell you how to arrange for your meals and which medicines to take. You will need to follow the diet that he tells you for at least one week before the surgery begins. Also, you will have to stay in the hospital for a couple of days after the surgery is completed.
You will need somebody to accompany the patient during and after the surgery. They will arrange for the complete care of the patient. The physician will instruct them about the care they need to give to the patient.
We can always look to India as the centre of medical treatment since there is a concentration of medical facilities always present here. The staff is skilled and the technology is the best in the world. So much so, many foreigners prefer their medical treatment done here in India.

Prague hotels booking).
Местонахождение – в самом центре, близко до всех достопримечательностей. Большие и очень комфортные апартаменты.
Apartment is located in hearth of the city center, close to all sightseeings. Room is accurate for 2 person, clean and quiet. We met very professional, polite guard. We fully recommend place to stay in Prague.
Very recommended! Excellent location, clean, very good value for money. Nice living room, kitchen, lots of cupboard volume. Also – a lot of clothes storage space in big bedroom. Although in a central location – surprisingly quiet. We arrived late in the evening and the doorman explained everything to us with patience and also helped us with our plans for the next day. Even the "multiple keys" system, seeming cumbersome at the beginning, adds to the feeling of safety. Will recommend these apartments to anyone I know traveling to Prague.
near city centre, you can go to old town, tesco supermarket nearby, and all the tourist attraction in the walk distance area. very recommended!
Excellent greeting and helpful information from Lenka. Can't imagine a better location. Rooms large, and everything we needed. Excellent value. We were two female friends and felt safe here.
excellent location, quiet, shops and restaurants nearby. NO noise. from the train station to the hotel just ten minutes. Walking from the hotel only five of Charles Bridge. nice apartment, clean, well maintained with TV, fridge, nice bathroom and shower. free wifi service. totally recommended. Goalkeeper very attentive. Excellent Administrator
This was a great place to stay. Lenka was very friendly and helpful and the apartment was very nice and very well located. I would happily stay here again.
Large and comfortable apartment , which is located on a central location. Besides that, at the apartment you do not hear any thing of the busy street outside.
the location is just 5 min from wenceslas square,safe area ,lt has a kitchen with a microwave all things are good in this apartment
The location is perfect, between old and new town and a 15 minute walk from the old town square and Charles Bridge. The security staff and Lenka are really friendly with loads of recommendations for places to see (and beer ice cream to eat!) Lots of space for the price, well equipped kitchen if a bit basic but for the price it was more than we expected!
What can I say but Wow, we were not expecting to have such a wonderful apartment for what we had paid. It was very spacious and super clean. The location was fantastic. The manager Lenka was very kind and extreamly helpful. The security guard Milan was very friendly and always smiling. We would most definantely stay again if in Prague, without a doubt!
месторасположение прекрасное!все достопримечательности в пешей доступности!апартаменты просторные,полностью оборудованная кухня,удобная кровать, отличный интернет ! ! ! порядок и чистота ! ежедневная уборка ! тишина и уют ! персонал вежливый ! огромное спасибо лене за её гостеприимство,отзывчивость,готовность во всем помочь и обворожительную улыбку ! непременно будем рекомендовать эти апартаменты своим друзьям и сами не променяем ни на какой отель,если еще раз соберемся в прагу!!!
An excellent arrangement for an Apartment rental. Welcoming staff were excellent, arranging a taxi from the Railway Station as a transfer. Lenka very helpful providing information regarding places of interest etc. Would highly recommend this Apartment for location, excellent staff, close to restaurants and supermarket, ATM and Chemist. Will return to stay again.
Great location with everything you require for an apartment holiday in a city centre. Good value. Helpful people running the apartment especially Lenka who spoke excellent English
The apartment was a spacious one bedroom in a great location. The security was great, with a lovely gentleman at the front door. It is a 2 minute walk to the river, and 5 minutes to Charles Bridge; across the street is the National Theater. There are many markets, restaurants, and bakeries on the street. Everything I needed was at the apartment, including blow dryer, iron, kettle,and there was enough instant coffee for the morning. What a find!
Location is very good.This Apartment locates near form city center of Prague and near metro station. Tram runs in front of the Apartment. Rooms is very clean and large. Apartment manege staff and gatekeeper are kind and speak fluent English.
The staff were so helpful nothing a problem, the location was good close to the river only 1 bridge away from the charles bridge, we made a mistake taking the airport shuttle to town central as we had long walk dragging suitcases across cobbled streets not fun, we should have caught the bus 119 then caught a taxi from the 2nd bus stop, which would have been easy or even the airport shuttle to the main station and caught a taxi from there. It was very good having the kitchen for breakfast and a cuppa when ever u felt like it. Tesco was just up the road.
lenka couldnt have been more helpful. accommodation great, location brilliant. what more can i say would come back to this apartment again if we visited prague.
The one thing that really stood out about the apartment apart from it being lovely and spacious was it's location in the city. It was very close to the river and only a short walk away from both the old town square and St. Wencelas square. The castle was easily accessable by tram from just outside the apartment. It was a bit of a shame that it had obviously used by a number of heavy smokers previously, but overall we were very happy with the accommodation.
Perfect place if you interest in the old town and the castle. Everything is in walk distance. The road next to the apartment is not quite but acceptable. For the price what we paid it was perfect.

The day started off with us catching the last bit of Tokyo Police Club's set at the Canada Blast Party. They were playing a tent to a smaller party, but still got the crowd jumping. David Monks' vocals were on point, giving their sound that melodic and high-energy feeling.
The next show was another Canadian band, Twist. They were the first of a stream of bands at Bungalow, a backyard-type venue part of Collide's larger collection of bars. The event was a Dine Alone and Buzz Records collaboration. Twist really epitomized that dreary, dreamy sound indie rock bands of late have started to provide – Mac Demarco, Real Estate, and King Krule come to mind as more veteran comparisons. All of Twist's band members – Laura Hermiston (Guitar, vocals) Sara Fegelman (Drums), Patrick Grant (Bass), and Matt Buckerberrough (Guitar) – were dolled up in lipstick, eyeliner, and painted nails, giving the set a very glam-rock aesthetic. It was a solid show that received a warm welcome.
The next band at the Dine Alone and Buzz Records party was Måntra, an alt-rock trio from Ealing, London, UK. There was a bit of a holdup as lead singer and guitarist, Simon Stark, broke a string after just the first song, though he quickly recovered. The band really put the amps to the test, as their brand of heavy, hard-hitting alternative rock pumped energy into the venue. Rob Emms was bringing out the most sound possible from his kit, and bassists Rich Leeds kept the heavy notes coming. Stark showed off the power of his voice, sometimes being very strained before bringing it back to a graceful, softer level. They closed out their set graciously, but powerfully, as they are known to do.
After Måntra, we headed over to Valhalla on Rainey Street to see She-Devils. Rarely do you get to see performances like the one She-Devils put on, people not in attendance missed an absolute gem. The Montreal group of singer Audrey Ann Boucher and DJ Kyle Jukka describe their genre as cave rock, but they could also be called a minimalist pop group. Boucher's vocals were perfect, to say the least, and Jukka created a symphonic, synthy backdrop for their music that blends nicely. They closed out with their hit song "Come" before receiving a wild applause from the crowd, Boucher and Jukka's emotionless faces were broken as neither could help but smile, they certainly please the audience. She-Devils really represent the brilliance coming from modern times' bedroom projects.
The next band up at Valhalla was Half Waif off of Arbrutus records, lead by the beautiful Nandi Rose Plunkett, whose delicate yet powerful voice rang through the venue. The entire band had a very technical setup, including lots of pedals and modifiers. Their sound uses heavy synthesizers, though their sound is upbeat, and sometimes clubby. Overall, the band made it very easy to vibe too, and their harmonizing was beautiful. Their sound is comparable to New Zealanders, Tamaryn.
We headed over to Sidewinder to catch Merchandise. Unfortunately, they had to go through a lengthy sound check, which ultimately shortened their set. However, they were still able to play four songs. As per usual, Carson Cox offered soothing vocals, contributing to their unique blended genre of punk-pop-rock-noise, and guitarist Dave Vassalotti basically shredded through their entire set. Cox laughed off the shortened set, and perhaps rewarded the audience by closing with a requested song yelled out by an audience member. Merchandise played "Time" and left the stage.
Before heading home for the night, we caught the end of Allison Crutchfield and the Fizz on the outdoor stage at Sidewinder. The indie rock outfit was playing to quite the upbeat show to adoring fans. We were lucky to catch some beautiful, long guitar ballads before the band closed with their most popular track, "Dean's Room."
And so another incredible day at SXSW in Austin, Texas came to a close. Check back here tomorrow for a recap of today's bands.
