A Christchurch couple who sued their insurance company over an earthquake-damage payout have failed to win a landmark ruling that a house in the red zone is not reparable.
They, however, walked away happy when the judge ruled Tower Insurance should pay them the full replacement value of their home.
Justice Raynor Asher ruled that creating the red zone (where homes are deemed uninhabitable) did not in itself cause loss or damage in an insurance context.
But he did rule the insurance company's offer to pay out the cost of a theoretical repair to the home of Matt and Valerie O'Loughlin was wrong because the amount was wrongly calculated.
He found Tower's offer based on repair costs went against the O'Loughlins' policy because it included a grout injection method to the concrete base which may not get a building consent.
The O'Loughlins' lawyer, Grant Shand, said they were essentially happy with the outcome, even though they didn't get the judgment they argued for over the red zone.
"From the O'Loughlins' perspective, they're getting what they wanted, which is for Tower to pay for a replacement house, not just to pay for a theoretical repair job that will never be done," he told AAP.
Justice Asher said the O'Loughlins should be paid the cost for a replacement house or a rebuilt house.
The payout based on a rebuilt house would be calculated on building it in a good zone - estimated to be $NZ540,000 ($A440,259) less $NZ203,000 already received from the Earthquake Commission - or a replacement value which was as yet undetermined.
Justice Asher didn't make a ruling on a specific amount the O'Loughlins should be paid, calling for further submissions.
"The most likely outcome is that I'll talk to Tower's lawyers in the next week or two, and we'll try to reach an outcome in relation to that," Mr Shand said.
Attempts to contact a Tower Insurance media representative were unsuccessful.

Relief news from Guatemala - 27 Oct 2011
Relief news from Guatemala - 27 Oct 2011
Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association relief news from Guatemala.
A series of earthquakes in the nation's southwest on September 19, ranging in magnitude from 4.5 to 5.8, claimed the lives of at least three people, injured others, and affected 3,000 families in the Santa Rosa region.
The next day, a large mudslide in Huehuetenango state left at least 15 people perished or missing.
Elderly victim (M):
Really we are experiencing a difficult time.
Victim (M):
For us, it was pretty shocking, to see our houses destroyed, our families with a lot of panic.
VOICE: With all her love and prayers, Supreme Master Ching Hai donated US$10,000 and asked our Association's relief team to render any aid needed, especially to the most desperate. This amount could acquire US$91,000 in materials if bought in the United States, based on Guatemala's cost of living. Supreme Master Ching Hai further reimbursed travel and related expenses of US$1,540 for relief team members from Costa Rica.
After meeting with delegates from Guatemala's national disaster reduction agency, the relief team purchased vegan food supplies for 600 families, which were then packed with the help of local volunteers.
Containing rice, beans, sugar, corn, salt, and oil, these items were then delivered to a total of nine communities in the municipalities of Santa Maria Ixhuatan and Cuilapa.
Relief recipient (F):
We greatly appreciate the support we got at this time from Master Ching Hai, only to help us.
Relief recipient (M):
I thank you deeply, to Supreme Master Ching Hai, as she was concerned for us and sent you, and I also want to thank you very much. Give my regards to her from us. Take with you a grain of love from us.
VOICE: With appreciation for the Guatemalan officials and volunteers for their assistance, we join in thanking Supreme Master Ching Hai for her caring support and our Association's relief team for their sincere endeavors.
With prayers for the soon recuperated lives of the affected people, we pray that such tragic events may be lessened through our gentler regard for all beings in the ecosphere.

The ego-stroking gabfest of the alleged financial elite in Davos is the World Economic Forum only in name – albeit a cosy and lucrative name, given its $160 million income last year. Perhaps unwittingly, Davos this week symbolises Old World hubris, a "World Economic Forum" with minimal attendance by the world's second-largest and most important economy.
Across the Atlantic, the Americans were at it again as well. President Obama's State of the Union address was another step in his strategy of building a scapegoat for America's economic problems, another layer of rhetoric in creating a common enemy against which to unite a divided nation. Well, it helped get Bush re-elected.
While Obama's strategy is deliberate, the Davos blooper looks like dumb pride, plain stupidity or both. The annual networking event coincides with Chinese New Year. The Financial Times reported that Beijing approached WEF organisers early last year to schedule the gathering a little earlier, but to no avail. The FT quoted a Brookings China specialist: "Can we imagine that this event takes place at Christmas?"
A better analogy would be the similarly movable lunar feast of Easter. Should the Outer Whoop-Whoop Cow Pat Tossers' Convention traditionally be held in autumn, you can bet the organisers would keep a well-advanced eye on when Easter might fall so that the events don't clash. It says plenty about the Old World that Lunar New Year didn't register, or that it was decided that it didn't matter.
Whichever way it played, a 30-year tradition of China sending a large, high-powered team has been broken with everyone the poorer for it, not to mention important cadres missing out on the possibility of being whipped with birch leaves by a young man wearing a felt hat in a Siberian banya, which I will explain a little later. (It's worth hanging in there for it – trust me this once.)
Instead, the Red Flag is being waved just by Hong Kong's chief executive and the vice-minister for National Development and Reform Commission. And I can't see Donald Tsang, Hong Kong's head mandarin, being much of a banya man.
The Cow Pat Tossers would be looking for a new conference organiser if they found significant throwers were unable to turn up for the usual Friday hurl, but that's not a problem for the WEF, a self-perpetuating club of the self-anointed, rather like the International Olympic Committee or the Catholic Church hierarchy, but with a better class of member and some governance.
WEF was founded and is still chaired by Geneva Professor Klaus Schwab, much decorated and lauded mainly for founding and still chairing WEF. The nifty key to its success is limiting membership to the world's "1000 leading companies" – a grandiose entrance requirement that's a snip at just CHF 42,500 ($43,367) a year. There are CEOs who spend more than that on golf clubs. It's a bit like the "Leading Small Hotels of the World" mob – who says?
(Given that the WEF annual report showed membership dues raised just $37.6 million instead of the potential 43.4 million, there's still plenty of room for those who need status confirmation. You can apply on line.)
But if you're not ambitious enough to claim top 1000 ranking, WEF is still very happy to take money ($78.6 million last year) from anyone as "partners", never mind "participation fees" ($35.5 million) at its various shindigs. After paying its 369 staff an average of $191,837 each (I'm guessing the inner sanctum receives more than the receptionists), plus the office and event costs, the non-profit WEF consistently turns a nice profit, not that they call it that.
Over the past four years, some $6.7 million has been added to the WEF foundation reserves. A search of the annual report turns up no further mention of "foundation" other than its acceptance of the surplus.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. It's a nice gig for those running it and in the best entrepreneurial traditions, they continuing to look for various USA/Youth/Faith Community/Cow Pat Tosser spin offs. (I only made up the last one.)
And not that there's anything wrong with that either. Davos has been a good thing. Communication is a good thing. A non-partisan exchange of ideas at a high level that had its origins back in the days of Europe wanting to catch up with the mighty USA, hey, it can't be knocked. Those early links with China post-Mao were nice. (But China was reaching out all over then – I have a tie from a Chinese university presented to my eldest brother for telling them about computers around that period. A wise and hungry nation is an information sponge.)
But communication has improved over the years – there's an internet thing and summits and conferences proliferate like after-hours relationships over schnapps in snowy resorts - while the lawyer-constrained CEOs of major companies say less and less. It seems to matter more to be seen saying something at Davos now than to be listening to what's said. Cue the "celebrity" economists and media circus.
Davos at least provides the Occupy types with a different location to occupy and those ever-important networking opportunities that are denied China's economic leaders this year. And how good can that be? Banya good.
Let me rely here on a London Daily Telegraph report of a British High Court libel action featuring one Nathaniel Rothschild suing the Daily Mail. Sometime colleague Mike Carlton, who has long enjoyed a fondness of the excesses of the titled British, could only be jealous of court reporter Martin Evans who was able to file the following first paragraph:
"Lord Mandelson visited a sauna in Siberia with a Russian oligarch and one of Britain's richest men where they were thrashed with birch leaves and plunged into an ice bath together, the High Court heard yesterday."
Heck, never mind Carlton, I'm jealous. We just don't get enough of that sort of thing in Australia. Well, aside from the NSW government post mortems. And even Sir Lunchalot's adventure with Tiffanie is rather pathetic compared with Lord Mandelson's experiences after meeting up with Nathaniel Rothschild at the Davos forum. Take it away, Martin Evans:
"Court 14 of the Royal Courts of Justice heard that the former EU trade commissioner enjoyed the invigorating pleasures of a Russian banya steam bath during a 24-hour visit to the remote region in 2005. Details of the visit were disclosed as Nathaniel Rothschild continued his libel action against the Daily Mail over an article claiming that he arranged Lord Mandelson's visit to help smooth a 500 million pound business deal.
Mr Rothschild claims the former Labor minister's presence was "purely recreational".
Lord Mandelson travelled to the region on Jan 30, 2005 as a guest of Mr Rothschild, scion of the banking dynasty, and Oleg Deripaska, the billionaire owner of Russia's biggest aluminium plant...
During the trip, the men were thrashed with bundles of birch twigs by a 25-year-old male banya keeper before jumping into ice water to improve circulation and cleanse the skin. Often wearing nothing but a conical felt hat to protect the head from the intense 200F heat, Siberians have bathed in banyas for more than 900 years. (And here the Telegraph helpfully provided a photograph of a conical-felt-hat-wearing, birch-thrashing banya keeper no doubt similar to the one Lord Mandelson met.)
Mr Rothschild said:"The whole point of the Siberia trip was that we went there, spent a nanosecond at the [aluminium] smelter, we then went to the most delightful banya. We were beaten by a 25-year-old banya keeper man, who has spent his life perfecting the art of banya. Then we jumped into ice-cold water. It is the best way in the world to beat jet lag and everything else. It was incredibly enjoyable. Everyone woke up the next day feeling revitalised and excited about the day."
As I'm sure you would. And, as a Frequent Flyer, I can only hope Qantas is taking note for their next lounge upgrade. If you can't trust Nathaniel Rothschild for jet lag tips, who can you trust? But it's so hard with the Gen Y thing to find 25-year-olds who have spent their whole life perfecting the delicate business of thrashing billionaires and Lords with birch twigs, let alone the wearing of conical felt hats.
No, you can't make this sort of stuff up.
Meanwhile, back in the Telegraph report, is the key to the whole WEF thing:
"Mr Justice Tugendhat, who is hearing the case without a jury, was told that Lord Mandelson flew to Russia on Mr Rothschild's private jet after meeting him at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. According to the Daily Mail article, Mr Rothschild acted like a 'puppet master', inviting Lord Mandelson along to a dinner in Moscow to 'impress' Mr Deripaska, who was in the process of signing a 500 million pound deal with America's biggest aluminium company, Alcoa.
It was alleged that Lord Mandelson's presence was required to assure both parties that EU aluminium import tariffs would not rise in the near future. Mr Rothschild insisted that he only invited Lord Mandelson along because he was a long-stand friend who had expressed an interest in visiting Siberia. The court was told that Lord Mandelson did not attend the dinner at the Cantinetta Antinori restaurant but instead held an informal meeting with a Russian minister in one of the restaurant's private rooms. Later that evening, the group took Mr Deripaska's private jet to Abakan in Siberia, where he has business interests and a vast estate."
See, if it wasn't for the Davos show, none of this might have happened. You can't buy networking opportunities like that. Who knows what the Chinese leadership might be missing out on, what the Black Water Dragon might bring with a good birching.
The trial continues.
Michael Pascoe is a BusinessDay contributing editor – who has just flown out of Switzerland without skiing Davos and has no desire to plunge into an ice bath, let alone be birched.

Renters to owners, houses to homes, blocks to communities.
Our work enabling low-income homeownership for the last 20 years proves that homeownership is possible and transformative for families even in Milwaukee's most challenged neighborhoods. Each year, ACTS helps over 100 families buy and rehab their own homes.
Each time we do, the city of Milwaukee gets a little bit stronger.
One family at a time.
ACTS makes it possible for low income families to become home owners. We provide financial counseling, real estate brokerage, rehab expertise, and through ACTS Lending, Inc., rehab loans, so that low income families can viably purchase a home and make it safe and livable.
For us it's not just about housing. Our job is to make sure all Milwaukee families have the opportunity to transform their own lives and take a stake in our city's future.
Just ask the many families ACTS has helped into homeownership.

Most city-owned tax foreclosures can be purchased for $3500. When we hold open house events for some of these properties we can attract as many as 200 people. Once inner-city families realize home ownership is a possibility for them, they sacrifice to get prepared for the opportunity.
Families who purchase these homes save hundreds of dollars a month compared to what they previously paid in rent. With a median household income of $2200/month, many ACTS families used to pay half their income on subpar rental housing. After becoming homeowners, we witness parents using their savings and equity to pay for needed medical care, send their kids to college, or fund small business ventures.
Most of our families roll up their sleeves and pour sweat equity into their new home. Families who commit to the hard work that reclaiming a vacant, vandalized, foreclosed property requires are often working multiple jobs and spend the rest of their time working to make their new home safe and code compliant.
"I was just like, wow, this can't be true…I just didn't believe you would be able to live in your own house for that price."

If you're like me, you've spent the last 10 or so days doing things like exchanging Christmas gifts and visiting with friends and family, not worrying about the end of the world. But with the calendar (the current one we're using, not that crazy other one that would have Christmas land on a Sunday) changing to 2012, we're now officially in the "end of the world" mania based on some ancient Mayan calendar prophecy or something like that.
If you've ignored all the hype (justifiably), here's a quick video update from the awesome CGP Grey (maker of the electoral college, death to pennies and "What are continents?" videos), who gives you the rundown on why everyone's all a-twitter about 2012:

Nothing is more important to us than integrity and security. Players trust us with their funds, and we strive to ensure that our games are 100% trustworthy, secure from both outside interference and irregularities during play.
TigerGaming.com has set the standard for speed and integrity when it comes to cashing out. We process our payouts in a prompt manner. Security
When you log on, secure online e-cash systems handle your credit card, using multiple layers of encryption. (See Randomness and Shuffling below.) We use complex algorithms to ensure that no online transactions can be diverted, intercepted or used for purposes other than those you approve. Anti-Hacking
Hacking is a major concern for any online business, and we have taken all necessary steps to ensure that our games are immune to interference. Any hacker who attempts to gain an advantage by intercepting packets will be thwarted by our sophisticated security measures, including our 128-bit SSL encryption. Security on our games is at the same level used by all major financial institutions. TigerGaming.com secures your credit card information, personal information, game records, current hand and actions on the table.
Our software is structured so that no other player can intercept any meaningful data from your computer. All game logic decisions, such as shuffling, are made on our secure servers at a remote location, protected by both hardware and software security systems. Anti-Collusion
Collusion is always a concern to players, whether online or in physical poker rooms. It's defined as multiple players working together, revealing hands to one another and making mutually beneficial decisions at the expense of others. Collusion is not only forbidden at TigerGaming.com, but results in an immediate lifetime ban and forfeiture of all cash in a colluder's account.
As a safeguard against collusion, TigerGaming.com employs sophisticated tracking algorithms. Our software tracks betting patterns as they relate to players' relative hand strength over a long period, cross-referencing this information with that obtained from the other players at the table. Patterns may emerge that indicate possible collusion, and action will be taken.
Because our servers record every card that is dealt, this security goes beyond that employed by the most secure bricks-and-mortar card rooms.
Nonetheless, this system is not perfect. So TigerGaming.com will investigate all allegations of collusion brought to our attention by players or employees.
Players can always see their own records in a modified version of the software we use to track every game. Randomness and Shuffling
We use card shuffling algorithms based on highly complex mathematics and a multilayered, multi-step process which ensures that duplication or prediction of our shuffling is next to impossible. Every deck is shuffled before every deal, and the likelihood of identical deals is infinitesimally small.
TigerGaming.com uses 2 state-of-the-art algorithms for generating random numbers. Our primary random number generator (RNG) draws its random numbers from a period of 219937 – 1 (a number with 6,001 digits, which is trillions of times greater than the number of atoms in the observable universe.) This gives it a much higher order of "equidistribution" (evenly distributed results) than any other implemented generator.
No other random number generator (RNG) combines statistical soundness and speed quite like TigerGaming.com's. Statistically random in all its output, it guarantees speedy play and practically perfect randomness. We also use a secondary generator which operates twice as quickly, through avoidance of synchronization, and method inlining and finalizing. By using the best aspects of both RNG's, TigerGaming.com commits to speedy and fair play in all its games. Commitment

I don't know how to retweet FB status updates, but here's a sign of wonder: "As a Coptic orthodox Egyptian I can say that never in my life have I seen Muslims and Christians come together in Egypt as they are now. I cried on Orthodox Christmas hearing about how Muslims protected churches from extremists by becoming human shields." From Richenda Ghebrial-Ibrahim.

Praise God.
Years ago, my wife and I, on a Easter morning were in an Arab-owned convenience store where we turned to watch Christian peace activists obstructing the Israeli IDF's efforts to seize Mr. Arafat in what was then his compound.
Good friends of mine do Christian work by meeting with their Islamic counterparts to discuss how to enrich the lives of the Christian and Islamic brothers and sisters.
This Friday I will host an open house for friends, supporters and anyone interested in Christian Peacemaking Teams, the group that asks "What if Christians demonstrated the same commitments to peacemaking that our armies demonstrate to war?"

Curious: Is the post from before or after the protests that have broken out. I was of the impression that the opposition to Mubarak's government poses a threat to future Christian security. Is there any justification of that?
- mark273
I remember reading about that a few weeks ago. I also remember in the account I read that Mubarak's sons were either also involved in the action or were even leading it to some extent. I may be wrong, but I read that they were involved. I think it raises the question to what extent momentum in that direction could be lost by the sweeping changes going on now. I pray they are not.
- Daniel S
@Dave (#2): I believe Christians in Egypt are somewhat divided at the moment. Certainly many are involved in the protests. Some slogans that I read last week used phrases such as "Crescent and cross" or "Muslims with Christians" to indicate a unified opposition to the government (and calling to mind the flag used in the revolution against the British in 1919 – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Revolution_flag_of_Egypt_1919.svg.) On the other hand, some Copts are nervous about what kind of government could replace Mubarak; the senior Coptic Church hierarchy appears to be supporting Mubarak for this reason. I think CBS has a good summary: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503543_162-20030057-503543.html.
In any case, we should remember our brothers and sisters in Egypt in prayer.

After nearly a year of preparation, planning and locking in a location, top-ranked BASIS Schools will be opening the doors of its new Ahwatukee Foothills location later this summer.
Classes will begin Aug. 5 in the 66,000-square-foot building, which formerly housed Ahwatukee Foothills Prep, just off 51st Street near Elliot Road.
John Hillis, soon-to-be head of school for the Ahwatukee campus, said he hopes to have more than 600 students enrolled for the first day. The campus will be offering fifth through 10th grades the first year, with plans to rollout grades 11th and 12th by the 2015-16 school year.
"This is also the biggest (campus site) so far," Hillis said.
Like the other BASIS locations in the Valley, Hillis plans to have a gymnasium, stage and other features coming with interior renovations before school begins.
The campus will have about 30 to 35 classrooms operating, including chemistry labs, about 38 teachers, as well as a staff of nearly 10 for administration.
BASIS Schools' Tucson campus was named the country's No. 1 high school in 2012 by the Washington Post, with the Scottsdale location ranked No. 3 in the country by Newsweek. The public charter school, which is state funded and independently operated, pillars in a rigorous curriculum, student accountability, and effective teachers.
"When you walk into a BASIS school, you know you are in a BASIS school," Hillis said. "There's something almost tangible about it."
Mentioning that the difference with BASIS Schools is seen in the classrooms, Hillis said that a desire to learn and compete in students is what sets BASIS Schools apart from other schools.
Since the opening of a Chandler location last year, and the hope of opening a Mesa campus this August, a buzz has been percolating about Ahwatukee Foothills and the possibility of BASIS coming to the community.
The campus already has support from prospective parents for a future booster group, common among other BASIS locations, which helps financially support the school.
"They are very supportive and trust that we have the right people in these schools and that we're going to do the right thing for these kids," Hillis said.
Last week, more than 260 interested parents and students attending informational meetings got the chance to meet Hillis and learn more about the new campus.
While the first round of enrollment ended Wednesday afternoon, Hillis said it will open up again before the summer and parents will be offered more informational meetings to attend before classroom bells ring in the year. Dates and times for the meetings have not yet been confirmed.
BASIS Schools' new location in Ahwatukee will be at 10210 S. 50th Place. For more information, visit basisschools.org.

Beyond Help: Hammond Multiplex
8 comments:
- Richard P said...
Well, I am stumped, as I haven't run across this problem with my own Hammonds. Something deep in the guts of the machine may be getting in the way. I hope another reader can shed some light!
- 31 October 2013 at 13:50
- Miguel Chávez said...
For what it's worth, my Hammond had that very same problem, with a twist: you could type with both sides of the keyboard, but the type rotated to (apparently) random positions other than the ones corresponding with the keys you were pressing.
At the time my guess was that the machine needed a good cleaning and oiling, but never got around to service it or having it serviced.
- 31 October 2013 at 15:35
- Rob Bowker said...
I'm full of optimism for you sorting this out. If you have more than one example, you should be able to compare to see if the problem is that something's missing. If everything's there it must be something out of place, wrongly adjusted, bent or just dirty. It certainly doesn't look dirty! Walk away and come back another day. Good luck!
- 31 October 2013 at 22:25
- Miguel Chávez said...
What a pity. Perhaps that's the weak spot of that design, and the reason why it didn't catch on.
The good thing is, with the fast-reducing prices of 3D printing services, it might be possible to have the piece duplicated... might be worth a shot.

- Scott Kernaghan said...
This can, and I will boldly make a claim that I currently can't immediately back up:- will be repaired.
I'll have a bit of a think about it, and I'll have a closer look at John's Hammond when I can, to see if the part can be replicated (or possibly repaired).
The problem with machines of this vintage is that they didn't benefit from the technological advances in metals and metal manufacturing that the proceeding century has had. As such, the parts are often prone to metal fatigue. There's a reason why the Remington upstrike machines use wood in their type-bars.
- 1 November 2013 at 11:09
- Scott Kernaghan said...
I keep looking over these photos, and I feel there is something missing. The bend in the arm has occurred after something has locked up, and someone has forced something to move.
I feel you may find another broken component deeper in the array that has probably bent after someone forced the key to move.
That lever just indicates the end result of the problem, not the start of it. But is quite possibly the reason that the shuttle isn't returning to centre correctly. They look like they are designed to feel the orientation of the shuttle on return to position.
So, I'd follow the damage back form those. If you are able operate the parts by hand, and remove the top covers, just look at what moves when you move them.

Hi Robert,
Totally off on a tangent here....
I am curious to know....what would a Hammond Multiplex, B model 1923, with the original wooden box in working condition be worth these days?
- 19 April 2014 at 17:40
- Bill M said...
I just picked one of these up this afternoon. Looks quite like yours. Similar problem also, but I noticed the part that spins the shuttle is properly seated on yours. I forget exactly what I did to get both sides working. I flipped something 180 degrees just because it did not look correct. I need to stare at mine a bit later on and email you if I come up with something.
I too had to rely on Richard Polt to get me started with my Hammond.
These are quite unique and a real bear to use. I've got a tremendous amout to learn.
Did you ever get yours to type from both the left and right of the keyboard?

The Fort Campbell, Ky., soldier who planned to detonate a bomb at a Killeen restaurant is appealing his conviction.
Pfc. Naser Jason Abdo, 22, filed a notice of appeal last week in federal court. The court appointed Waco attorney Stan Schwieger to represent Abdo.
A judge sentenced Abdo to two back-to-back life sentences on Aug. 10 on multiple charges stemming from the plot to build and detonate homemade explosives at a Chinese restaurant in Killeen last summer.
Abdo represented himself at the sentencing hearing and expressed regret for not being able to carry out his attack.
When arrested, Abdo confessed to the plot. He told authorities he wanted to kill Fort Hood soldiers.

Willie Revillame Pursuing Co-Host Shalani Soledad
Posted by chickadora on January 3rd, 2011 at 07:25am
Willie Revillame the well loved host of willing willie is courting his co-host and Valenzuela councilor
Shalani Soledad. Willie is openly teasing his co-host shalani on their show. Shalani Soledad was first introduced
to the Philippine public as the girlfriend of now President Noynoy Aquino. Shalani helped P-NOY in his nationwide campaign
but was missing in her inauguration. By October the split was confirmed between SHalani and PNOY.
Let's all wait and see if the Willie Revillame and Shalani Soledad teasing will turn out into a beautiful love story.
By the way, they are both single and free. Willie Revillame is 49, while Shalani Soledad is 30.

may be you can increase for the font just for the display of these

Perth, Dec 3: Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting said Curtly Ambrose, Wasim Akram and Harbhajan Singh were the three bowlers who troubled him the most in his career.
Calling West Indies' Ambrose and Akram of Pakistan as "two outstanding quicks", Ponting said Harbhajan caused him "lot of grief."
Harbhajan had dismissed Ponting 10 times in Tests, the most by a bowler against the Australian batsman.
"I think Curtly Ambrose and Wasim Akram were probably the two outstanding quicks that I faced, and for different reasons. Ambrose for his ability to just make you feel like you couldn't score off him for long periods of time, never felt like he was going to bowl you a bad ball," said Ponting in his farewell press conference in Perth on Monday.
"Akram for the exact opposite, you could get a few runs off him, but you just knew there was an unplayable ball around the corner, be it with an old ball or with a new ball," he added.
On the Indian offpsinner, Ponting said: "Harbhajan's probably the other one who caused me as much grief as anything. He got me out a lot of times and caused me a lot of grief. Those guys through their careers can all put their hand up and say they had my measure."
Ponting retired from international cricket on Monday after the third Australia-South Africa Test at the WACA ground. South Africa won by 309 runs.

The food systems in the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) are largely dependent on rice and wheat grown in rotation. As seasonal weather greatly affects yield (by directly affecting crop growth and indirectly affecting management), there is concern that changes in climate, especially changes in climate variability, will exacerbate the observed trend. Moreover, the highly-intensive production in large parts of the region is a major source of greenhouse gases and is seriously degrading regional water supplies.
The western region (sub-regions 1, 2 & 3) is a food surplus region characterised by higher investment, high productivity, heavy use of fertilisers and ground-water for irrigation, and an influx of labour. In contrast, the eastern region (sub-regions 4 & 5) is a food deficit region characterised by low productivity, low inputs of fertilizer and water, risk of flooding, poor infrastructure and labour emigration.
Policies priorities for both regions are to (i) enhance agricultural competitiveness while limiting further environmental degradation; (ii) develop food systems which enhance the social security of the more vulnerable; and (iii) create more rural employment opportunities to reduce labour migration and urbanisation.

iTunes and DRM-Free Music, Continued
Will the EMI songs play only on iPods?
No. You can listen to them on any player that can handle .aac music files. Microsoft's Zune player and Sonos players, for instance, can also handle .aac, but other players, including those from Creative, SanDisk, MobiBlu, and iRiver, for example, can't.
What software can play these EMI files?
The Yahoo Music Jukebox can play them, as can Winamp Pro (but not the free basic player). Windows Media Player 11, as it ships, cannot.
What if my music player or preferred software can't handle .aac files?
You can convert non-DRM protected .aac files to the format of your choice. To convert to .mp3 in iTunes, go to Edit/Preferences and choose the Advanced tab. On the Importing tab, under Import Using, choose MP3 encoder, and choose a bit rate below that under Setting. After that, head to your library, right-click a song, and choose Convert Selection to MP3. We also like imToo's conversion software.
What about my current iTunes music? Can I upgrade 128-kbps songs to the higher quality level?
Apple says you'll be able to upgrade existing music by paying the cost difference, 30 cents per song.
Can I share the new DRM-free music?
The technology won't stop you, but the same copyright laws that make sharing music illegal still apply.
Will this new scheme discourage illegal file sharing?
No, according to experts--including EMI's Nicoli. Why? Because currently no matter how the music is priced, illegal file swappers will continue to download and distribute music they have not paid for, according to Michael Gartenberg, vice president and research director for Jupiter Research. Nicoli says that removing DRM from EMI music tracks is about trust, adding that he trusts his customers.
Will other online stores follow EMI's example?
EMI is now offering its music DRM-free to all of its digital distributors, not just to Apple, and the company says it is in discussions with Microsoft (for the Zune store) and others. But according to EMI, it's up to those distributors to decide whether, when, and for what price they'll offer EMI's music DRM-free. DRM will likely stay in place for subscription music services such as Napster, Rhapsody, and Yahoo Music Unlimited, according to Gartenberg.
What about other record labels?
Gartenberg estimates that the other three big labels--Sony BMG Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group, and Universal Music Group--will follow suit within the year. And Steve Jobs says he expects to offer more than half of iTunes' 5 million songs DRM-free by the end of the year.
I hear EMI is up for sale. What happens to this deal if EMI gets bought?
EMI has said it would entertain serious buyout offers. And Warner, which has previously made a bid for the company, has come out against DRM-free music. But EMI wouldn't comment today on what might happen to the DRM-free music if the company is bought.
What, if anything, does this mean for video?
EMI music videos will also be available in DRM-free format at the current price. Apple hasn't yet responded to our inquiries about the other videos in the iTunes store.

Kid Cudi / Ticket Giveaway
Kid Cudi is coming to Vancouver in June! I've got a pair of tickets to give away to a lucky Booooooom reader, so who wants 'em?
If you'd like the tickets tell me about the best concert you ever went to, in the comments below! I'll pick a winner on Friday!
- Tim
Well, I think it was Gorillaz in Zenith, Paris, beautiful musics, beautiful clips, beautiful people, beautiful atmosphere!
Wait…Why am I playing? I can't go to the concert anyway… =/
Regina Spektor, Brooklyn in the Pool! When she sang Apres Moi, Le Deluge, it started storming 360 degrees around the venue, lightening and everything. Amazing experience.
Must been Gil Scott Heron last year in a dark cellar of Stockholm.. a hilarious show with disses to every celeb, so funny! The musicians got wet playin so hard and GOOD. We met him afterwards backstage and smoked and talked about his first book. My friend took pictures all night with some analog 35mm pocket camera .. blackwhite and they are AWSOME! probably my best concert experience ever..
- Simone
IMA Robot, early 2004, Baltimore, MD. It was a dive bar that held about 50 but was packed with a little bit more than that. They weren't really popular at the time, yet they generated an atmosphere of electricity that can't really be explained unless you've been to a monumental performance. It was like witnessing a really great secret, and everyone in the crowd was palpably excited to watch them play. The lead singer kept wobbling around like he was drunk [he wasn't], and it was unclear if he would fall over before the show stopped [he didn't, but barely]. I lingered around waiting for my ride and found him walking outside the club, whistling "Twisted Nerve" then taking a wee in the alley.
- Magda
It would be seeing MSI. Jimmy was piss drunk, getting half naked as he screamed into the mic, and was diving into the crowds. He got half naked, put on fairy wings, and jumped into the crowd. I was at the front, I got to touch his sweaty behind and experience the most abhorrent smell ever-then he gave me his fairy wings (!!!). He was still drunk when he was singing and started taking cups of beer and pouring them on everyone. If we didn't have the respect we had for him, everyone would probably be pissed. But, we did-so everyone was screaming and dancing as the beer was thrown on them. A brilliant entertainer made my best concert!
- Coco
I saw The Dodos in San Francisco a few weeks ago, and they came out for 3 encore songs and really catered to the crowd. I was in the very front row and could have physically touched both the lead singer and the drummer. After the show, my friend found some really nice gloves on the floor of the venue and there were lots of free apples to eat. It was just a really amazing experience all together!
- Nick
Mars Volta…Nuff said.
- Anastasia
Best concert? Would have to say Yann Tiersen (the composer for Amelie) in Lyon, France in 2001. The movie had just came out and I didn't even know who he was and how big the film was going to be. It was super intimate and he's *#&*$&#( amazing. He played the accordion and piano at the same time! It sounded absolutely magical.
Has to be my first concert, Coldplay. They don't need special effects and crazy props to entertain you and they sound exactly like their album! Chris Martin is a demi-god!
- carrie sleme
This is easy!
The best show I've ever seen was Of Montreal at the Paradise rock club in Boston, Ma. The club holds around 800 people, and my girlfriend and I were standing in the very back of the crowd. The place is so small that anywhere you stand is a great view. Of Montreal is known for having a wild show (google Naked of Montreal show L.A.) and this time was no different. The band itself was dressed in a verity of costumes throughout the show. Some in feather vests, some in suits, some wearing masks. But what made the show truly standout, aside from Of Montreal rocking the whole set, was the 4-8 actors that would be on stage acting out scenes while the band was playing. They had more costume changes and dance performances than any major act I have ever seen. On top of that, there was a tiger in a white suit who came out for the "encore" who quite literally stood on stage and screamed into the microphone for 10 minutes while the audience stood around, completely baffled on if they should stay, go, laugh, or be angry. But after those ten minutes, they came out and rocked two of my favorite songs before exiting off stage with 15 or so musicians/actors. I've never left a show so happy before. And the best part, I was stone cold sober and it was only 15 bucks!
This show is what I compare all non-arena size shows to, and will continue to do until someone can top Of Montreal's performance that night.
- Jess
Best concert I've ever went to was a Kid Cudi concert :) In Columbus, Ohio at the Lifestyles Pavilion. It was Kid Cudi & Chip the Ripper, and it was bad ass. It was a nice summer evening and very memorable too !
Kanye & Daft Punk. Nothing can even come close.
I had a ghost taste of fomo
mstrkft…. it was at a small venue in denver last summer. i went with my sister and our friend katie who we lost for 75% of the concert…. only to find her 3 hours later dancing onstange :)
- Olivia
It was over 5 years ago at the old Shine, when Chromeo were just getting to be huge. The crowd was small but intimate and the beats were flowing. At one point Dave 1 came up on the dance floor and just started dancing. By far one of the best shows of my life.
- Yumi
Kid Koala at The Biltmore. The intimate space was packed for Kid and there were awesome vibes. He had a sick setup -giant screen with live feed of him scratchin and doing his thing. He'd also made a bet with his friend and lost so had to wear this giant fuzzy koala costume suit the entire night. …it looked brutally warm, but it looked like he was having a friggin blast! One of the best shows with a great crowd in an awesome venue. I'd def see him again. well worth it without hesitation.
- Paula
The Gorillaz in Vancouver, their Plastic Beach Tour. Was my first big concert and I had a blast.
Detroit's 300th birthday party. Free all day concert on the Detroit riverfront featuring Motown artists including Stevie Wonder's first live performance in years. Hands down epic!
Cool kids!!!!
I saw Phoenix at Cornell University in October. Their light show shattered my mind and they played the shit out of "1901" and "Love Like A Sunset" gave me chills. My ribs were against the gate and Christian, the lead guitarist, handed me the pick after the show. They played in Madison Sq. Garden the next night with Wavves and I almost hopped in a car to see them again. Too bad I had an exam in the AM.
- Kelvin
Steve Aoki in Kelowna! Epic stage dive, got to touch his shoe! haha Bottle of champagne were taken out, he poured it all over my eyes!
Oh wow, it would have had to been the Phoenix concert at MSG in New York City. My friend and I waited a good three hours outside in freezing October wind in our cropped Phoenix t-shirts and adrenaline…
But my gosh, was it worth it. We were front row in the pit, and when Phoenix came on and Thomas Mars came up front and just leant in and I was able to wrap my arms around him…It was so amazing.
So we were dancing around and having an amazing time, when to top it all off, Daft Punk came on at the end of the show for the grand finale. The noise in the stadium was unreal. It was so grandiose, just spectacular.
Anyway, I'd love to see Mr. Rager in concert! Thanks for doing the giveaway. :)
I"ve never been to a concert. so this would be my first if I win.
common and nerd @ the balkin bowl in stanley park. outdoor concerts are the best.
nerd blew the stratospheric roof as openers and common did about 6 windmill and freestyled about vancouver for 5 minutes.
oh and by the end you could see the sweat evaporating from his dome with all the lights pointing at it. his head was steaming, that was cool haha.
HOT CHIP at the commodore a few years ago. Best energy, everyone's arms wrapped around eachother in a circle singing "Crap Kraft Dinner" to one another.. <3 Best ever.
It's crazy, haven't seen them yet, want so bad
I am torn between the last CuDI show in Vancouver when he punched a dude in the face or the Donald Glover/Childish Gambino show from this past Friday.
The CuDi show was sick until the shit went sideways and CuDi jumped down into the crowd and started throwing punches. I was like 4 people beside the guy getting punched. Turns out weeks later, CuDi flew the guy down to Sasquatch and brought him up on stage to apologize and then they went back to his hotel and ate pizza.
The I Am Donald tour has it all. Comedy, videos, and amazing music. If you don't already know about Childish Gambino do yourself a favor and get either his new EP or the mixtape Culdesac.
- Luke
Neve been to a concert :(
I'd love for this to be my first!
The best concert I ever saw was maybe..Blink 182 when they went to what used to be GM place a couple summers ago for their reunion tour. I went with my sister, who is a huge fan. We were dancing all night and singing at the top of our lungs. After the intermission Travis Barker did this crazy awesome thing and played the drums on a set that spun up in the air and all around, lights flashing. We had almost left because my sis is a bit of a twat and always thinks the shows are over at the intermissions. So we didnt want to miss anything and quickly just snuck in to the lower level and stood up on the seats and did the booty quake and who knows what else, it was mostly just ridiculous. Everybody was laughing and having so much fun together even though nobody knew anybody. Right when security was going to kick us out to the nosebleeds the set ended and lights went down and it was amazing. Besides that, you should pick me because KiD CuDi is my favourite rapper because he experiments and doesn't care much about genre. I like his integration into the indie subculture that I love.
- Adam
I'm sure this will be the best concert.
since it's my first.
- Sam
My first concert, Jack Johnson:
Sometimes it seems as if the Universe just decides that things are going to work out. My friend Emma bought four tickets to Jack Johnson early this year with the hopes of either giving them to friends or selling them. She had mentioned them when we hung out in July, but I promptly forgot about them and never followed up.
Skip ahead to August 20th. I call my friend Ashleigh in the afternoon with the intention of making plans for that weekend and during our conversation, she mentions that she's going to Jack Johnson the next day with Emma and our other friend Han. All of a sudden my conversation from July comes flooding back to me and I ask if there is still a ticket left. There is! And conveniently enough one of my fellow cast members Wade, from the Kids show I'm doing on Vancouver Island, is going to the concert too, so transportation is all settled with virtually no effort.
We have a show the morning of the 21st, the day of the concert, but we should make the 3pm ferry with no trouble. Only, there is trouble. A ferry has broken down and the 3pm is totally booked, which means we will be late or possibly miss Jack! But that wasn't happening. We called around and found stand-by flights with Helijet leaving at 2:30. Perfect! We would get into downtown Vancouver almost before the 3:00 ferry even left. We do have one minor casualty when there were only three stand-by seats available on the first flight, but Wade was a real trooper and says he will wait for the 3:30.
I meet up with Asheligh, Emma, and Han at the Yaletown Brewery for a quick bite and a drink, and then we're off to Thunderbird Stadium for the concert. We arrive right at the end of the opener's set. Just enough time to weasel our way as front and centre as we can without pissing too many people off. After a couple of false starts, the crowd goes wild when Jack appears. The atmosphere is incredible. A huge mass of people all invested in having an incredible time, full of peace, love, and marijuana. The music is chill, the weather impeccable, and the crowd entranced. Just when I think it can't get any better, Jack invites his friend from Hawaii, Paula Fuga, up to do a couple songs. She arrives at the mic out of breath, a large Hawaiian woman with a tiny ukulele. The moment she opens her mouth, the crowd goes wild. She is incredible! Such a powerful, deep sound, but after only two songs, she's done.
Jack has the audience in the palm of his hand and after playing for a little over an hour, he plays "Good People" with the camera panning over the audience, bows, and exits. It is very abrupt, but the stage hands start clearing gear and instruments off the stage. It seems like it's all over, and the lights start going off until all that's left is a soft blue light illuminating the mic stand. The sound is deafening as we all demand an encore. They string us along for what seems like twenty minutes, probably closer to two, and finally Jack reemerges. When I think we can't get any louder, the roar of the crowd doubles. I can't imagine what that must feel like to a musician.
Jack finishes off with an acoustic set, and takes a very definitive exit with many bows and acknowledgment of us. It's clear that this time it's over for real, no encores. Feeling totally full, spiritually, musically, and emotionally, Han, Emma, Ashleigh, and I head back to Han's to crash on his living room floor. We put on an episode of Blue Planet that none of us make it to the credits of. We're dead to the world.
- Patty
The Phoenix concert at the PNE was the best concert I have ever been to, hands down! Even though the venue was pretty bad, they sounded amazing live!
I was DJing after a phoenix concert once, what a feeling
- jayccees feliz
The best concert I've ever been to has to be matt and kim. Their energy is incredible from matt jumping everywhere on stage to kim booty dancing like Beyonce as the crowds holds her up high. Me being one of the lucky few. The venue was pretty small but the crowd was intense. From people pushing to kicking me all the pain i felt that night was definitely worth it. Best concert ever.
- Mariella
Wyclef at the Commodore Ballroom! He played well over his time slot and kept the party going all night. Unforgettable night!
I think when I saw Justice at the Plaza a few years back was one of the best. I've never danced so hard in my life.
- eyehategod
Best concert I ever went to…hard to decide. I think that the most memorable was one night in Baltimore, I think back in 2008. It was the Grief re-union show (one time show) and it was pretty fucking insane. Local powerviolence band Magrudergrind and local doom-ridden band Oak opened for them, along with some other bands (Jail, Suppression, Marrow…if you're into hardcore punk/crust/doom, this line-up is nutty). Anyway, Grief hadn't played in I don't know how long. When they finally went on around 1 AM, everyone was already stoned and drunk (this venue sold $1 cans of beer and anything goes as far as circle pits and hash smoking). I had a huge blunt of some pretty good weed rolled up already, and I passed it around with all of my friends. Grief started, and people went insane stomping around. And then the fuckin cops showed up not 20 minutes into the set and broke it up. I remember someone yelled "There's more of us than them!", but nobody did anything. Everyone just kinda left, and probably never forgot that night either.
- Camille
The best concert that I EVER went to was when the Roots came to UBC two years ago. Not only were they AMAZING performers live, but they were extremely down to earth. They were pleasantly welcoming to the plethora of drunk students that surrounded them, many of which I doubt even knew any of their songs before the concert. Among the mass of the alcohol-intoxicated was me & my friend Kim. We pulled some gutsy moves that got us nice and intimate with the boys. First we jumped over the little divider that seperated "VIP's" from the rest of the UBC students, so that we ended up watching them at front row. We were so close that we could touch their shoes – and we literally did touch their shoes, as we yelled out "OMG, I'm touching Blackthought's shoelaces!" At the end of the concert, we snuck behind the VIP fences and followed them to their trailer, where we met every single one of the guys. Not only did they take pictures with us and sign our jeans, but they also gave us some of their Vitamin water and Blackthought gave me his hat. It was amazing.
P.S. Fun fact: Questlove signs with a picture of a guy with an afro.

I have gone to quite a few concerts and Madonna was great, our seats however were not nor is the noise quality at BC Place great. The best concert i went to was a country concert, Toby Keith and Trace Atkins. We were so close to the stage, 4th row floor right next to the ramp and we could reach out and touch them. They put on an amazing show!

Black Keys and Broken Bells down in Seattle in December. If you have never had the pleasure of seeing the Black Keys rock I would put it on your bucket list, they'll leave you right on the edge, then push you right over. They are Rock N' Roll! Right after they left the stage Broken Bells (Danger Mouse and James Mercer) came on and were the perfect antidote to the hard rockin Keys. They jammed out each track to almost 10min each, felt Pink Floyd-esque. The chance to see some of the best bands going today in a city with such a rich history as Seattle was pretty special.

I've never been to a real concert before, im a broke college student :(
First Concert Ever = Kanye West.
It was Kanye with an array of talented guests, so I don't think an explanation of how amazing the set/visuals/vibes were, is necessary. :)
Luv your site!
Best concert: Bjork at Deer Lake Park about, er…5 years ago. She was amazing, the weather was perfect, the crowd was unified. I haven't been back since.
The best show I've been to, hands down, was a Hellogoodbye house show in L.A.
Let me give you a little back story. So once upon a time, I found out that my art teacher's boyfriend was in Hellogoodbye! As the weirdo little 12th grader I was, I did what I could to get to know her so I could get to meet the band. Anyways, I end up being her favorite Teacher's Aide but not meeting them and I graduate high school. Come November, "Would It Kill You?" Hellogoodbye's second highly anticipated album is released. I have a Youtube channel (my website) where my friends and I perform random cover songs. For some odd reason, we thought it was necessary for us to have a full "WIKY WEEK!" full of cover songs from Hellogoodbye's new album. 7 days, 7 songs. Probably some of my favorite videos were created that week. We tweet our videos to Hellogoodbye, in hopes of them seeing them and spreading the word and all of a sudden… "these awesome kids have been doing a cover everyday till our record comes out! heres one! http://tinyurl.com/2adryn9." They tweeted our videos. We were all so stunned that they mentioned our videos. It was so rad.
Back to the show. We get tickets to the house show because we wanted to support our favorite band. Right before "All Time Lows" begins, Forrest sees us in the crowd and says "Hey! It's the people that do the covers. Everyone check out "band g forever's" Youtube page." Best. Show. Ever.

The most amazing concert that I've been to was for Deltron/Del. It was like, 4 hours of the most amazing music that I've ever heard of. I went with my friend, and we got front row tickets for like 14$ each!! God it was an amazing night in Portland :) We got high fives from him like, four times. He is so talented, and really cares about the music more than the profit, and I really respect him as an artist. I would love to go to an Atmosphere/Slug concert, since he's truly amazing as well… But Deltron's concert was by far one of the best experiences I've had. I felt a kind of music high for the rest of the night and the next day.
- Juanito
I've never been to a concert before & having Kid Cudi as my first concert experience would be beyond amazing and life changing.

My parents told me scary stories about concerts as a childahood nd I never got to go to the regional concerts that my friends would go to. But two and a half years ago, during my first year in college, my best friends from high school brought me to my first concert: The Mars Volta … and it was simply amazing.
I saw Radiohead play in Dublin. AT A CASTLE. WITH A RAINBOW OVER THE STAGE (for their inrainbows tour). and i was eating a burger and almost crying. It was a sensory overload I will never forget.

Modest Mouse on September 17th 2001.
The show was at an outdoor venue one mile from the Phoenix airport.
After 9-11-2001, airplanes where not seen in the sky for several days…
And at the show, outdoors, airplanes were flying over one after another getting ready to land, and drowning the sound of the music. First time I had seen a plane in the sky for 6 days. Pretty freakin' unreal!
i actually never went to a concert…so does that mean i cant enter? if so…life is cruel. haha j:

best concert would have to be with my dad- we drove cross country to the gorge ampitheatre in washington to see a three day concert with O.A.R. opening for Dave Matthews. MY dad's a straight up business man and he camped out with me and cooked dinner for the first time- tomato soup with gold fish. He rocked it almost as much as Dave and O.A.R.
i would have to say the time i saw arcade fire at deer lake park. it was a beautiful sunny day and a great crowd, i met nardwaur who was in the crowd and even managed to get win butler's autograph before the concert began because he was playing football in the field.they put on a great show that night. lots of energy and we all sang along.

The concert I went to with my boyfriend to see Aaron Weiss's Family band. It was so hot at the venue that he had to put ice on his balls. My boyfriend, not Aaron Weiss. But what a show.
- Patrick
not a show but sled island was the best little festival i ever went to. so far.
- Levi
the best concert i ever went to was Pearl Jam, They were my favorite band for years then i started to lose intrest in them but the concert completely brought me back into it. They are the reason i listen to music.
- Hunter
LOTUS! I thought i'd put some good music up here. LOTUS at nocturnal last year killed it! If you appreciate music at it finest then lotus needs to be on your list. No offense Cudi… but the nocturnal line-up went lotus, kid cudi, then pretty lights on the same stage, and Cudi was quickly put in his place as a musician to say the least. As it goes with all genres, LISTEN TO IT LIVE!
i'd love em! :) hope you're swell :P
- Melanie
Best concert I went to was actually my first concert, I was 8 or 9 years old when my mom brought me and my older sisters to go see Spice Girls- to make things even better it was for my birthday! I had no idea we were going to the concert it was a complete surprise and if you ask me having the Spice Girls as your first concert is pretty bomb. I will never forget pulling into the parking lot for the concert and being so confused on where we were and once I finally realized I was at the Spice Girl's concert I screamed and cried I was too happy.
I would still scream and cry today if I got to see the Spice Girls in concert.
- jordan
I've seen Of Montreal quite a few times now, but they did a show down in Seattle at Bumbershoot a few years ago that was amazing! Speaking of, I saw Janelle Monae open for them just last year and I thought she outshined them. Love her.
The best concert I saw was Crystal Castles this past winter. Alice Glass's foot was broken but some how she managed to rock it even with her cane and boot! In a word, the concert was absolutely insane. The best part was when Alice Glass stood on top of the speakers so everyone in the crowd could see her and she danced like no one was watching, it was great. Then the music got really quiet and the lights dimmed, then all of a sudden it was like the stage exploded! There were these bright yellow lights going off and Alice was screaming at the top of her lungs and shaking it! It was awesome. By the end of the concert everyone was covered in sweat and exhausted from dancing and jumping. It was definitely the best concert I have experienced, and everyone left with a smile.
Paul McCartney Coachella 2009. Seeing one of the last two remaining Beatles. Live. Singing Hey Jude with an entire crowd. Fucken priceless. :) All you need is love.
My favorite concert I had been to was Tegan and Sara!
The first time I've seen Tegan and Sara in concert was one of the best nights. I was and still am a big fan of theirs! That same night my boyfriend at the time surprised me with front row/center tickets! Definite an awesome night. I would love to say I've been to several concerts, but to to be honest I've only been to a few- Which 2 of them are Tegan and Sara. I'm currently in grade 12 and have utter most strict parents. That night of Tegan and Sara's concert was one of the first nights my parents let me go out with my boyfriend.
I've asked them if I'm able to go to Kid Cudi upcoming and they said "yes"- Which is rare of them. However they said yes if I were to pay for them… which I can't. These tickets would mean a lot! I would greatly appreciate it! I'd love my first Tegan and Sara concert and would love to make Kid Cudi as well my Favorite.

As of now, I'm self-employed. It's a situation that I've wanted for myself for ages, and I've got here in a fairly crabwise sideways manner.
I'm telling you this because this blog could now go one of two ways. Either I get loads of work, and nothing appears here for months. Or the world spurns my charms and I'm posting frantically.
Or the third, more likely option. I get tons more work than I can do, and end up posting here as a displacement activity.
We'll see.
