Katrina Elizabeth Leskanich is an American musician, author and former lead singer of English pop rock band Katrina and The Waves whose song "Walking on Sunshine" was an international hit in 1985 and in 1997 won the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Love Shine A Light".
Early life[edit]
Katrina was born in Topeka, Kansas. Her father was a Colonel in the United States Air Force, and Katrina and her five siblings (four sisters and one brother) moved frequently as children. After she was born, they moved from Kansas to New Mexico, and then California, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Stuttgart, in Germany, and the Netherlands before arriving in Norfolk, England, in 1976. Katrina has lived in the UK since 1976, moving to London in 1998 where she currently lives. Her ancestors emigrated from Ireland, Germany and Slovakia (Leškanič) to the United States.
Career with Katrina and the Waves[edit]
In 1978, Leskanich and her then-boyfriend, Vince de la Cruz, formed the cover band "Mama's Cooking", based in Feltwell, England. In 1981, after some lineup changes, the band titled themselves "The Waves" and began playing original music. In 1982, after yet more lineup changes, the band changed their name once again to Katrina and the Waves, with Leskanich as the lead vocalist; by now they were based in the city of Cambridge.
The band had several international hits, including, most notably, "Walking on Sunshine" in 1985. Their song "Sun Street" was also a minor hit in 1986. They also received a Grammy Nomination for Best New Artist. The hits continued with "Do You Want Crying", "Que te Quiero", "Rock and Roll Girl" and "That's The Way" which reached No. 16 in the U.S.A.
In 1997, after having somewhat faded into obscurity, the band won the Eurovision Song Contest 1997 for the United Kingdom with "Love Shine a Light". Reacting to the win, Leskanich said it was the second landslide victory in a week; the song won by a record points margin, and Tony Blair had won the 1997 British general election two days previously. The song won by a then-record margin of 70 points over the Irish runner-up.[2] The song went to No. 3 in the UK Singles Chart (becoming the band's biggest-ever hit)[3] and Katrina and The Waves performed an unprecedented four weeks running on the BBC One TV show Top of the Pops.
Katrina and the Waves broke up in 1999.
When Hurricane Katrina and its storm surge devastated much of the US Gulf Coast in September 2005, the MSNBC news program, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, dubbed its coverage of the hurricane, "Katrina and the Waves"; the name also appeared in numerous headlines and blog postings. A New York Times reporter contacted Katrina Leskanich, who said: "The first time I opened the paper and saw 'Katrina kills 9,' it was a bit of a shock. ... I hope that the true spirit of 'Walking on Sunshine' will prevail. I would hate for the title to be tinged with sadness, and I will have to do my own part to help turn that around."[4]
Solo career[edit]
After the Waves broke up in 1999, Leskanich launched a solo career, first as a DJ for BBC Radio 2 and then in 2001 she played the lead role in the musical Leader of the Pack. She released her first solo CD, Katrina Leskanich, through Universal Records in Britain in 2005. And the single - Leskanich's cover of Kirsty MacColl's "They Don't Know" was played on Radio 2. In 2005 she also participated in the Swedish selection for the Eurovision Song Contest (Melodifestivalen 2005) with the song "As If Tomorrow Will Never Come". In 2005 Leskanich (with Renars Kaupers) hosted Congratulations - 50 Years of the Eurovision Song Contest, in Copenhagen.
Katrina covered a Clash song, "Hitsville UK" for a compilation album put together by Jimmy Guterman, which is a tribute to The Clash Sandinista! album and was released on 15 May 2007 in the United States.
Katrina performed in the 1980s show Gylne Tider which toured Norway in the early summer of 2007 and transferred to the Christiania Theatre in Oslo from October to December 2007. Katrina's cover of "They Don't Know" was included in the compilation Gylne Tider 2 which was released in 2007 and went platinum.
Katrina also appeared in the Countdown Spectacular 2 concert series around Australia between late August and early September 2007. She performed her hit "Walking On Sunshine".
From 27 January 2008 to 9 March 2008, Katrina was one of three jury members for Eurosong 2008 in Belgium, the pre-selection for the Eurovision Song Contest.
On 1 March 2008, she performed a remix dance version of her 1997 Eurovision winning song, "Love Shine A Light", on the BBC Eurovision song selection show.
To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of "Walking on Sunshine", Leskanich released her first live album - THE LIVE ALBUM in July 2010. The album includes a live version and a blues version of "Walking on Sunshine". "I have performed 'Walking on Sunshine' for so many years in so many different countries that it's become the one constant in my life and the one thing I can count on to bring happiness to myself and others." said Leskanich. In September 2010 Katrina re-released her solo album 'Turn The Tide' with a couple of bonus tracks - club mix of 'They Don't Know' and the Espirito mix of 'Walking on Sunshine'.
In November 2010, Katrina was a guest coach on the Austrian TV show Helden von Morgen on ORF1. All her contestants went through to the next round including Lukas Plochl who sang a rap of Love Shine A Light.
In May 2011, Katrina released an EP 'Spiritualize' "In 1999 I wrote, collected and compiled some songs I thought would come together for an uplifting and spiritual type of album. I thought I'd try to make this a bit more personal," said Leskanich.
In 2012 Katrina formed a new line up of her band and played the Acoustic Festival of Britain, The Ultimate 80s Festival and then Gig in the Park in Suffolk. Katrina has also played at festivals around Europe this year including the Rewind Festival in Scotland with Go West, Limahl, Village People, ABC, etc., Keitelejazz festival in Finland and Here and Now at Ascot with Bananarama, Rick Astley, Belinda Carlisle, Midge Ure. Katrina also teamed up with Ben Crabbé from the Belgian band De Kreuners and Dany Lademacher from The Radios and Herman Brood and His Wild Romance to form Katrina and The Romance which toured festivals in Belgium in the summer of 2012.
Katrina Leskanich published her first book - "Peggy Lee Loves London - My London Guide" (2013)[5][6][7] - a quirky photographic guide book about London.
In July, 2013, Katrina and her new band performed at festivals in the UK and Europe including the San Fermín[8] festival in Pamplona in Spain on Plaza del Castillo and the Steinegg Festival in Italy.
Earlier in 2014, Katrina Leskanich, a vegetarian and firm believer of animal rights, supported 'Wildlife Rocks' with an acoustic performance. Other performers included lead guitarist of Queen (band) and founder of Save Me (animal welfare), Brian May. The event raised awareness for some vital wildlife projects and was attended by several Members of Parliament.
August 2014 sees the release of Katrina Leskanich's second solo album, 'Blisland' - inspired by the genre of music from her formative years - I wanted to record an album that reflected my love of all the genres of music I grew up listening to, from Peter Frampton Live to Neil Young's Harvest. I fell in love with the South West of England, the beautiful beaches reminded me of California and a little village called Blisland not only had a fantastic little pub but also gave me the perfect name for my new album.'
August 2014 also marks Katrina's first North American tour since the late 1980s. The Retro Futura Tour starts in NYC on August 21st 2014 with Thompson Twins' Tom Bailey (musician), Howard Jones (musician), Midge Ure and China Crisis.

Love the nice bright pink, pretty solid lenses for a cheap pair of glasses, not too dark but block everything necessary. Only complaint is they're a bit narrow for my big head and hurt my temples after longer periods.

I purchased a pair of these as a lower cost fun alternative to my Oakley Holbrooks and they are definitely a great option for the price. I wore them for the afternoon on closing day at Brighton and they definitely protected my eyes really well. I would still prefer my Oakley's for most days, but when you don't want to bring a pricey pair of sunglasses on an adventure these are great.

It is cold, wet and miserable at 5am when your alarm clock starts howling, eerily mimicking the wind outside. It's June, the middle of the Australian winter. You force yourself out of bed, open the curtains and despite the fact it is still dark, you can see the icy rain blowing almost horizontally at your window, as if it is maliciously seeking you out. For not the first time you wonder why you organised your annual holiday to a "beach destination" in the middle of winter. Despondently you splash some water on your face to wake up, grab your already packed bags and jump into the pre-booked taxi which is waiting outside. With this start to your day, you can only hope that Queensland lives up to its promise of "beautiful one day, perfect the next".
Having snoozed for most of the flight, you arrive at Coolangatta airport a little before 9am and are pleasantly surprised to see that there is not a cloud in the sky. There is still a little bit of chill to the air but the day seems to be warming fast. Having spent the flight in a half-sleep, dreamlike state, the change seems surreal. It is as if you stepped through the C. S. Lewis wardrobe into a new, sunny world, leaving both home and the worries of everyday life behind. You take a deep breath and smile, perhaps this winter vacation will not be so bad after all.
The Gold Coast is a beach. With warm, golden sand stretching so far from the crystal clean ocean waters, it is little wonder the location itself has become its best draw card. There is also the promise of a relaxation of "the rules" though. Ever reputed to being laid back and a little bit naughty, this is the place you go to, to escape from the concerns of every day life. Here is a calendar of reasons why the Gold Coast is a great vacation destination, any day of the year.
January has an average temperature in excess of 28°C. It is also humid being in the middle of our storm season. Make sure you bring wet weather gear in case you experience one of our late afternoon storms. Your raincoat should not be lined with anything to keep you warm though, it is too hot, it just needs to keep you dry. If you love the way in the tropics, that moisture from the last downfall literally steams off your clothes, you will love our January.
It is also the month of festivals. Some of the festivals you can expect to enjoy in January in any given year, include Summafielddayz, The Big Day Out, and the Gold Coast Food and Wine Show.
Given the higher temperatures, it's a great opportunity to cool off at the water based theme parks like Wet 'n Wild, White Water World and Sea World. Still being during school holidays though, expect to spend some of your time queuing for the rides. The tropical storms have also been known to push through big surf , so if you are coming to the Gold Coast to enjoy our world class surf breaks, January through to the end of March are your best months.
February is another hot, humid and stormy month. So as is the case with January regarding the surf, the theme parks and wet weather gear, so is the case with February. The one big advantage February has over January is that with school holidays complete, you will find yourself spending less time in queues at the theme parks and more time screaming with excitement, as you take another steep plunge at a million miles an hour riding the next roller-coaster or water-slide. So if you are coming to the Gold Coast and theme parks are specifically on your agenda, February is definitely your best month.
One of the highlights of the month is Waitangi Day. This is New Zealand's national day and given we have such a large kiwi population living on the Goldy, there are always a bunch of celebrations and events marking this day. I try to visit and take in at least one Waitangi Day festival each year as I really enjoy the slice of Maori culture that is celebrated at the festivals. One thing to note about these though, the Maori part of the festival is typically pretty small. Most of the festivals are like a big country fete or fair, with all the stalls and attractions you'd expect at such a carnival. So if you are interested in seeing the Maori parts of the celebration, make sure you get a program of the day so you can plan your time accordingly.
March invariably brings with it large, storm driven, ocean swells. These swells build and break on our shores, winding around our world class surf points like Snapper Rocks, Kirra and Currumbin Alley. The way they hit our shores is just right so they make deep barrels and clean wave faces that seem to wind around the coastline forever. They are mesmerising to watch, both beautiful and terrifying in their power. When you drop the top surfers of the world into these waves, letting them loose to fly up and down, perform dizzying aerial tricks and completely disappear from view into the hollow caverns of the waves, you have the Gold Coast in March.
Early on in the month, the surfing world turns its collective attention here as the first event of the annual World Championship Tour is fought out on our waves. With great breaks running from Duranbah in the south all the way through to South Stradbroke Island in the North, one thing is guaranteed for this event, the best surfers in the world will be testing their skills and each other in terrifying waves. So if you are in town during March, make sure you fit time into your schedule to witness this spectacle. It is something you will remember forever.
A little bit later in the month, the Malfunction Surf Festival cruises into town giving us a different perspective of surfing culture. Malfunction celebrates the roots of surfing, where surfing was about grace and oneness with the wave, rather than the fevered carving and athletic acrobatics that characterises the earlier competition. If you are a surfer who has a touch of nostalgia for the surfing days not too long past, you will love Malfunction. Aimed at longboarders and retro surfers, the five day carnival has a look at many aspects of the surfing culture, including art and memorabilia, surf vehicles, surf movies and it hosts a surf celebrity dinner. Naturally though, there is a competition, a competition where the best longboard riders in the world come and pit their skills against each other.
April is a month without any major festival, things on that front wind down a bit. The weather both dries up and cools down too so it is the perfect month to get outside and have a look around at some of the other attractions the Gold Coast has to offer. Did you know for example that there are over 30 golf courses on the Gold Coast. With cool, dry weather, April is the perfect month to get out on the fairway with some friends to drive, chip and putt.
Mt Tamborine, the Lamington National Park and the Gold Coast hinterland all are great "fresh air" options now too. If you want to explore these regions, you may need more than a month, there is so much to see and enjoy. From wineries and relaxation retreats to craft markets and country pubs.You can go 5 star, you can camp, you can try every standard in between. There really is something for everyone in the hinterland, all you need is the time to find it.
May is crooning month on the Gold Coast. Each year, over 70 blues artists from OZ and the US, and over 100,000 blues lovers make their way to Broadbeach to appreciate 5 days of blues music in a massive street festival environment – The Broadbeach Blues Festival has come to town. The line up of artists and festival gets better and better every year. Click through to Blues on Broadbeach for more information.
June hosts Wintersun as its marquee event. Motor heads, line up for this one, I have a feeling you will love it. This annual nostalgic rock 'n roll event brings together a street parade and a carnival with a difference. It is held in Coolangatta and adds into the mix of live music events, a hot rod car show. This car show makes international news each year, such is its quality. For more information, click through to the Wintersun website
The Burleigh Solstice Festival is worth a look during June too. This popular fiesta of color, sound and tastes is held in the middle of Burleigh, simply to celebrate the longest night and shortest day of the year.
Keep in mind that the Gold Coast is on the edge of tropical Australia. So while the southern states of Australia are enjoying their icy, winter rains at the moment, most days on the Gold Coast are sunny right through. It is a little cool in the morning, but the days quickly warm up with the temperature invariably exceeding 20°C by lunch time. It really is a great time to be on the Gold Coast.
For the water lovers, the water is only slightly cooler, falling to around 19°C. If you surf, bring a spring suit to keep the wind chill at bay. Swimmers – bathers are fine. The water is just not that cold.
July brings the world's best endurance athletes to the Gold Coast to participate in the now famous Gold Coast Marathon. The Gold Coast Marathon, held in July's first week, has become more than a race, it has become a weekend of fun and fitness, a celebration of our modern day athletes who accomplish these amazing feats of endurance. I really enjoy participating in one of the events at this carnival, both for my annual fitness challenge and to get washed up into a festival based on good health, rather than excess and decadence. It makes for a really great weekend, especially if you have a group of health nuts with you, supporting and being supported.
The best thing about doing the Gold Coast marathon though is that you get a holiday on the Gold Coast too. This I believe is why the Gold Coast marathon has become so famous, so fast. Why don't you take up the challenge, there are many events for runners (and walkers) of all different levels of fitness, so there is no reason not to. More information on this great weekend can be found at the following website: GC Marathon
August is your month if you love to celebrate your taste buds by offering them culinary delights. The annual Tastes of The Gold Coast Festival (usually held in August, occasionally in July) brings the best of the Gold Coast's food and wine together, to be feasted upon in Australia's most pictureque setting. It is a true celebration of the Gold Coast way of life.
Imagine for example, eating a fragrantly marinated, perfectly cooked steak with some greens and field mushrooms. A glass of the smoothest red wine brings out the flavors in a way you never expected. As dinner finishes and you wait for dessert, you enjoy watching the ocean breakers smash upon the rocks only meters from your table. A bit further out to sea, the sun sets in a darkening sky of crimson, violet and indigo. Contentment comes easily as you allow yourself a second to really take in the moment.
This is the type of experience you can expect if you come to the Gold Coast in August. Visit Tastes of the Gold Coast to get the dates of this year's festival.
September is when the Swell Sculpture Festival hits Currumbin Beach. From the amazing to the interesting, the funny and bizarre, Swell is a globally unique, outdoor sculpture festival. We went there in 2009 to find the inspiration we needed to create the invitations for our engagement party (pictured right). And who can forget the VW Beetle in 2008, a complete mosaic of tiny glass tiles. From giant band-aids for the earth, to totem poles and wood carvings, this foreshore turned gallery is a sight to behold.
The idea of Swell is for artists, both local and international, to create sculptures which are large and durable and specific for outdoor display. Not only does this bring some spectacular sculptures to the Gold Coast, but it also provides a free outdoor event for both locals and holiday makers, with plenty of live events organised in an outdoor art gallery on the beach.
The weather is starting to warm up again and the chill is starting to leave the pre-dawn mornings. Surfers, when you get to September and beyond, you can probably leave your wetsuits at home. Only the most cold sensitive people will still need a spring suit now.
October is the month of big races on the Gold Coast. It doesn't matter if you love the smell of petrol fumes and burnt rubber or prefer the salty tang of a surf driven ocean spray, in October we have a very special race day for you.
For car race enthusiasts, we have the (previously Indy) Super GP weekend. Super GP is a car racing carnival that tears through the city streets of Surfers Paradise. Often the balcony of your hotel room will be the perfect vantage point to watch the race, although you may want to head down to the street and get caught up in the spirit of race day with the thousands of other car racing nuts.
Unfortunately, this race has recently been plagued by issues both of a financial and political nature. It is still a little unclear what the future holds, so lets hope for a swift return to something resembling its former glory. The Super GP carnivals of years gone by, certainly were looked forward to by all Australians.
On the ocean front, the Coolangatta Gold Ironman race is contested on the beach and in the surf. If you think you can paddle an ocean kayak for 23kms through ocean swells, run a short distance on the sand, swim 3.5kms in the surf, run a further 4kms in the sand, paddle a surfboard for 5.5kms and then run a final 10kms - still in the sand, you should enter this mammoth ironman event yourself. If you are mortal like the rest of us, you can watch these endurance athletes from the beach instead. One of the great aspects of this race for spectators, is that the track is not roped off. How can you when the track varies every minute with the moving tides and variable swells? This means interested spectators like you and I can be on the sand and in the water with the athletes. What a rare opportunity and privelege. Have you heard of such access in any other elite, competitive event? This is certainly an opportunity which should not be missed if you can get to the Gold Coast during October.
November – December schoolies week comes to the Gold Coast. It has become an institution for Australian high school leavers to descend on the Gold Coast to celebrate finishing their secondary education. It lasts for about three weeks as the different states of Australia have their school calendars finishing at different times. Each group comes for one week. It is the perfect holiday event for you if your are 18ish and just finishing high school, a potential disaster if you are not.
The Schoolies weeks have received a tremendous amount of bad press over recent years. Lets face it, thousands of drunk teenagers fighting, vomiting, smashing property, getting arrested and passing out just looks ugly… but on the other hand it also makes for great news headlines. Like most things, it is never as bad as the press would have us believe. But holiday wise, personally, I am a bit older these days and this type of craziness is just not my scene so I try and keep out of Surfers Paradise during this time. That being said, as a teenager I would have loved the wild atmosphere, the feeling of new freedom, party and invincibility.
What holiday are you looking for when you come to the Gold Coast at the end of the year? If you are looking for a wild party and are of an appropriate school leaving age, Surfers Paradise will be the perfect destination for you. Just remember though, respect the place, the people who live there and the property you are using. Most of the older people drinking at the same pubs as you this time of year are not "toolies" either, they are just people who drink at that same pub every other week of the year. You are not paying them to leave their home and habits, so don't expect them to.
If you are not looking for a wild party though, if you are up for a family or relaxation holiday for example, don't stay in Surfers Paradise. You will not enjoy it there. The Gold Coast is a big place and there are plenty of spots which are insulated from the schoolies festival. Holiday instead at Burleigh, Currumbin, Kirra or Coolangatta. Choose one of these locations instead, put down you bags, kick up your feet and relax… just as you always intended to. The weather is really picking during these months too, so make sure you bring shorts, loose tops (if you must wear them), plenty of sunscreen and some cool sunglasses. Most holiday time during November and December should be spent chillin' at the beach, by a pool or at the Wet 'n Wild water park.
Keeping in mind I am barely scratching the surface with the calendar of events listed above, you can see the Gold Coast really is a year round tourist wonderland. For more information about holidaying on the Gold Coast, make sure you look through our website where we have built a database of Gold Coast Attractions Information. Do some research too, you'll be amazed by the variety of events and attractions we have on offer here. It doesn't matter when you have your time off work, it doesn't matter what month of the year it is, all you have to do is pack your bags to enjoy your "summer" vacation on the Gold Coast.

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi police have now found 17 bodies, riddled with bullets, in different areas of Baghdad.
The discovery came as other attacks around the capital killed 10 people.
According to police officers, authorities found the bodies of 14 men and three women dumped in the streets late yesterday and early today. Some had suffered gunshot wounds to the head and chest, and others were blindfolded and bound.
The deaths are a grim reminder of the sectarian killings that engulfed Iraq in 2006 and 2007. Then, both Shiite and Sunni death squads roamed the streets and raided homes to round up people. Authorities later found the victims' corpses, often mutilated.
Also today, police say, drive-by shooters armed with pistols fitted with silencers killed four men in different areas in Baghdad.

Aussie World-Beating Debt Excels on Draghi Bid: Australia Credit
July 14 (Bloomberg) -- Australian bond investors can thank European Central Bank President Mario Draghi for world-beating returns over the past month.
The nation's notes due in 10 years and more have gained 4.4 percent since June 11, the most among 144 indexes tracked by Bloomberg and the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies. The correlations between long-dated Aussie securities and similar-dated debt issued by Italy and Spain climbed to the highest since 2011 last week, while the link to German bunds has been stronger than that to U.S. Treasuries since mid-June.
Australia's 10-year yield fell to its lowest in a year on July 11 at 3.41 percent after a rise in the unemployment rate prompted traders to increase wagers the Reserve Bank will cut its record-low cash rate within 12 months. The nation still has the highest benchmark yield in AAA rated markets and the ECB's extraordinary stimulus measures since early June helped push the similar yield in lesser-rated Spain and Italy to as low as 2.54 percent and 2.69 percent.
"Yields have gotten to levels where they are sub Australia's, and it has made Australia really stand out," Peter Jolly, the Sydney-based head of research at National Australia Bank Ltd., said July 9 by phone. "It flags Australia's value to investors globally." The bank is the largest in the nation as measured by assets.
Japanese investors are among those increasingly drawn to Australia, purchasing 129.2 billion yen ($1.3 billion) of sovereign bonds in May, a fifth-straight month of net buying, official data showed last week. They dumped 1.05 trillion yen of German debt.
Costly Bunds
Australian securities are benefiting as Germany's notes become costlier, said Roger Bridges, the head of fixed-income strategy in Sydney at Tyndall Investment Management Ltd., which oversees the equivalent of $21.6 billion.
Both nations are seen as havens among investors because they have the top-level AAA debt ranking from Standard & Poor's, Moody's Investors Service and Fitch. Germany 10-year yields fell to 1.17 percent July 10, the lowest since May 2013. One-year yields were near zero after sliding into negative levels on July 4, versus 2.46 percent for Australia.
"People are saying, hey, bunds are this expensive," Bridges said. "We may look at the Australian market. Our rates are basically moving with the bund rates rather than with the U.S. rates. The currency keeps on going up as a result."
Europe Risks
Investors were reminded of the risks of holding the debt of Europe's most indebted nations when Portuguese yields jumped 21 basis points on July 10 as missed debt payments by a parent company of one of the nation's banks raised concern the region's economy remains vulnerable to shocks.
The sharp outperformance of the Australian 10-year bond began in April as the spread between yields on 10-year Spanish notes and comparable U.S. Treasuries declined below 50 basis points, Deutsche Bank AG said in a July 9 report.
Australian debt's correlation to bunds is 0.88, while the link to Treasuries is 0.85. The measure climbed to 0.59 for Italian debt after being negative as recently as May, and climbed to 0.56 for Spanish securities. A figure of 1 shows they move in lock step.
RBA Stance
Australia's three-year yield slid last week as data showed the jobless rate unexpectedly matched an 11-year high of 6 percent last month. Traders are betting the RBA's benchmark will be 15 basis points lower over a year, the greatest amount of cuts priced in since September, according to a Credit Suisse Group AG index.
RBA Governor Glenn Stevens said July 3 that while there are encouraging signs the economy is being weaned off a dependence on mining investment-led growth, there's still some way to go.
He also warned that investors are under-estimating the probability of a "significant fall" in the Australian dollar at some point.
The Aussie traded at 93.87 U.S. cents as of 5 p.m. in Sydney on July 11, up 5.3 percent this year for the steepest advance after the New Zealand kiwi among Group of 10 currencies.
Dovish Message
"We have an RBA that's been talking no change to the cash rate but is busy jawboning the currency at any opportunity, for foreign investors this is sending the message of further cash- rate cuts and taking bond yields lower," Anthony Kirkham, the Melbourne-based head of investment management at Western Asset Management Co., which oversees about A$18 billion locally, said July 10.
The three-year yield, which is sensitive to policy expectations, fell below the 2.5 percent RBA rate for the first time since August last week before closing at 2.5 percent.
European bonds have been supported since the Frankfurt- based ECB cut its benchmark rate to a record-low 0.15 percent in June, took its deposit rate below zero and unveiled targeted loans to help revive lending. Draghi estimated July 3 that banks could take up as much as 1 trillion euros ($1.36 trillion) in its longer-term refinancing operations.
"What's happening in Europe is supportive of a rally" for bonds globally, said David Plank, the Sydney-based head of research at Deutsche Bank AG. "Part of the reason that we've probably rallied so hard in the last couple of months is that European spreads have continued to narrow, so Aussie bonds have looked increasingly attractive."

THEME: Fill In the Blank
Upon acceptance, each merchant will receive a "fill in the blank" & will be required to make an item w/ respect to their "blanks" For example "Your favorite music artist is_____." The merchant's item should fill in the blank. Let's say this answer is COLD PLAY, the merchant's item could be a tee shirt with a picture of Cold Play. Are you with me? Lets try another fill in for good measure; "If you were a nail polish you would be ________ & _______." Say the "blanks" are Green & Shimmery, then the merchant is to make an item that is Green & shimmery. Got it? Good!!
Each merchant will receive his or her own "fill in the blank" if the merchant list is extensive, some "fill ins" will be doubled. "Fill in the blanks" will NOT tell a merchant what to make or what color/texture/patterns a merchant should use. Merchants will have full rights to choose what he or she makes. All items are welcomed from home goods to poses!
Hunt items should…
- be BRAND NEW!! (there is more than enough time to create)
- NOT be items in other hunts, freebies or give-a-way events
- fit the fill in answers you, the merchant will provide me!
- be creative & stretch the imagination, people enjoy different
– reflect the quality of your work & store
This is about you! Put some thought & time into your creations.

Little teen sex slut Elly has just turned 18 year old last summer, and now her dad urgently wants a slice of her cake as well after seeing all those young boys slip into her bedroom every now and then recently.
Although some of the girls in these family sex incest pictures might look underage / preteen, we pay special attention to verify that these teens are 18 years old or above. Some look younger, which can stimulate the imagination, but in those cases it concern so called "teeny / petite" 18yo + teens.

Horseshoe Casino created a show-stopping destination with its $485 million expansion that debuted in 2008 and features The Venue, restaurants and more gambling experiences.
Then in 2011 the Walmart Supercenter opened its doors at 110th Street and Indianapolis Boulevard in the Robertsdale neighborhood. The 184,000-square-foot building includes more than 30 departments and employs about 400. Hammond spent about $2 million rebuilding 112th and Fifth in connection with the arrival of Walmart.
This area near the Illinois border draws many Illinois residents who spend their money in Hammond.
That kind of economic development has a ripple effect, according to Phil Tailon, executive director of the Hammond Department of Planning and Development.
Now a $25 million project will bring new retail businesses and restaurants to a 16-acre parcel along this busy section of Indianapolis Boulevard.
In June the Hammond City Council gave its final approval to offering incentives for the project proposed by Marina District Development LLC, which is a partnership between Oakridge Properties of Algonquin, Ill. and the Collins family of Hobart.
The city council's approval of bond sales opens up $3.5 million in incentives from the city for Marina District Development. The bonds will be paid off through tax-increment financing.
This project is far-reaching, says Mayor Thomas M. McDermott Jr. and that incentive package will spur work from the Indiana-Illinois state line to the five-points intersection at Calumet Avenue and 114th Street.
"The tax situation between Illinois and Indiana, particularly Cook County, Ill., and Indiana, there's an incentive for people to shop in Indiana," McDermott says. "We're just trying to lure them over here."
The 16-acre development adjacent to the Walmart site will include two retail strip malls, at least two sit-down restaurants and a bank planned for northwest of the Horseshoe entrance ramp. Construction is expected to begin this fall.
A possible second phase of the project could focus on Indianapolis Boulevard from the Horseshoe ramp down to five points and could include a hotel. However, no details of this second phase have been finalized.
The agreement OK'd by the city council requires the developer to complete construction on this project by 2015. Some new retail stores may open by the fall of 2014. However, most would open in 2015, according to Timothy Schwartz, president of Oakridge Properties.
As part of the new development, at least three buildings will be demolished. Mr. Lucky's Cigarettes near the state line and two vacant gas stations near five points will be razed.
In addition, the developer holds a purchase agreement for Spot Liquor/Cigarettes on Indianapolis Boulevard near Marina Drive. That agreement would call for relocation or redevelopment of the business.
The agreement calls for the BP gas station near Indianapolis Boulevard and Walmart to remodel the convenience store and car wash.
This $25 million project will also affect two traffic signals on Indianapolis Boulevard. The development group has proposed adding one new stop light and relocating the existing stoplight to help handle increased traffic expected when new businesses open.

floral baking
Lavender infused cupcakes created by Lily and I. The only way this activity could have been more floral was if it had taken place within the grounds of Kew Gardens or at a WI competition. British summertime has a real delicacy; the unpredictable weather; the freshly mown lawns and the gentle floral aromas wafting in the breeze. These cupcakes encapsulate this fragile elegance of British summertime. To be a bit less poetic, taste a bit like a herbal tea in a cup(cake).

The Baltimore Orioles kicked the tires so to speak on Minnesota Twins first baseman Justin Morneau earlier but the talks are cooling off. This is despite an earlier report that said the Baltimore Orioles were interested in Bud Norris and Morneau.
Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun tweeted out that the talks between Baltimore and Minnesota hasn't heated up in days. That is not a good sign on a the day of a trade deadline. The Orioles decided that it wasn't a fit production wise for the money, and the fact that he is left handed further hurts the equation.
Morneau is a couple months removed from his 32nd birthday and will make $14 million this year before becoming a free agent this winter.
The Orioles kicked around Morneau earlier but decided it wasn't a fit for production and money (and he's LH). Nothing has heated up in days
— Dan Connolly (@danconnollysun) July 31, 2013
Justin Morneau is batting .262/.322/.393 this season with 8 home runs and 53 RBIs through 97 games.

There is always talk of school teachers having classrooms so large they can't really be effective. There is also talk of teachers' income being too low. For these two reasons, I would dread to be a teacher. For these two reasons I also admire teachers.
Therefore I propose an idea. What if teaching was mandatory for college students? Each college student would have to teach a year in a public school in their area of interest. If they truly did not want to fulfill their year in a public school, they could pay out, but who would they pay? A teacher who wants to be there, as a professional.

This way, class sizes could be smaller, teachers could make more money, and there would be other benefits that could arise from this wacky idea. Where is your idea?

Diana Halbeisen's Table Without Tabletop
Stripped bare. Diana Halbeisen's Table Without Tabletop makes a table out of as little means possible...
A discussion about the functions of a table. What tasks does a table fulfil? It serves, for instance, as a surface on which dishes are placed; it separates the food from the floor and allows objects to be within gripping distance when seated etc. Can these activities be performed without the familiar flat surface?
It looks like the "prongs" can be folded down when the table's not in use, making the concept *possibly* *somewhat* practical for small-space dwellers. Maybe.
27 Comments
This is the silliest thing I have ever seen, except if the idea can be adapted for, say, a car
also, the odds of dropping food on my lap, or poking myself on those prongs things are pretty high.
Hmmm, my kitchen table is pretty multi purpose. I SOOO could not set my sewing machine on that. Not to mention set up the kids' art supplies. Yeesh!
This relates directly to Rob Walker's recent "Consumed" column in NYT Mag: Timeless Object. On his Murketing blog, he also talks about the rocking bookshelf I posted last week! Both worthy reads!
But ... where do I put my elbows?
After a couple of glasses of wine, I would be certain to impale myself on the prongs. This is a table for teetotallers.
My mom always said if you've got nothing nice to say...but, I'm sorry, this is REALLY stupid.
Hack this into a laundry rack.
The worst of being different for the sake of being different.
Great articles, aaron, particularly the final paragraph of Murketing.
Deconstructionist design is so five minutes ago, though...
totally unappealing
silly willy.
I think it's great! Not the table itself, except for a (pardon the pun) 'niche' market, but I'm glad people are spending time inventing new things, even if some of the results are preposterous. If they added sharpened spikes to the prongs, I think a lot of anti-social people like myself would consider buying it if for no other reason than to scare off dinner guests early...I'm being a bit facetious, but I'm hesitant to criticize an effort at the redefinition of a traditional object....think the effort is to be commended.
Give me a break! The only place I can see this working would be in a museum or in a huge bathroom as a towel/toothbrush rack (even there it would be scary looking).
Very funny concept, interesting conversation piece but hardly practical.
Yeah. No. It's ugly too. I feel there is some danger involved here.
I like the idea of creating a conversation about everyday items like tables and chairs.
But I refuse to believe this is actually meant for people to use in their homes; if it is, it's ridiculous.
I agree with Howard Hall Farm. I don't really see this as a table that's intended for actual use, but more as something that's supposed to make you think. Is a kitchen table supposed to be meant just for keeping food off the floor? My kitchen table is used to keep all SORTS of things off the floor. What if I found homes for all those things and used it for what it was really for? It's just a concept that's supposed to get you to think. At least that's my interpretation, and I do appreciate it for that!
I'm pretty sure this is art, not an actual product. It belongs in exactly one place: a gallery. (And, IMO, it's good art.)
not very appealing...
This design is clever, functional, and ALMOST as unaffected and comforting as hiring 3 midget wrestlers to hold your plate, glass and napkin directly in front of you while you eat.
- The one with the napkin can clench a square dish between his teeth to hold your silverware.
- The one in the middle can wear a small sombrero holding your salt/pepper shakers and butter dish. (Cut a hole in the sombrero and you've got a great place for a flower arrangement!)
- And for more formal dining occasions, the two "little people" on the ends can strap candelabras on their heads!
It does bring to mind how and where you actually eat - like in the car with your drink stuck into a cup holder (at best), which sometimes doesn't fit right, or with food balanced on your lap. Pretty ridiculous sometimes. Here in DC, food is illegal in the subway, but it used to be allowed in NYC (is it still?) Another eating venue.
Food is not allowed in the NYC subways, but I haven't noticed that it ever stopped anyone.
I sense a lot of soup splattered laps in someone's future.
I like it. It made me laugh and question my assumption about what a table is. Looks like its a TV dinner table.
Reminds me of a scene in a Chaplin movie, Modern Times, I think.

Bizav Operators Need To Make Inauguration Plans Now
NBAA is urging operators planning to be in the Washington, D.C. metro area during President-elect Obama's inauguration next month to subscribe to NBAA Airspace Alerts for the latest information. According to the association, there will be one or more TFRs issued that will restrict general aviation aircraft operations in the D.C. area. NBAA expects tactical traffic management initiatives that will likely entail the use of ground stops or ground delay programs at Dulles International (IAD) and/or Baltimore/Washington International (BWI), and potentially other area airports. The Washington air defense identification zone will constitute the outer ring of the primary TFR, and the D.C. flight restriction zone will constitute the inner ring, meaning there will be no access to Washington Reagan National Airport (DCA), even under the DCA Access Standard Security Program. Only IFR traffic will be allowed into IAD and BWI; Manassas Regional Airport is being considered for IFR traffic as well. NBAA expects parking challenges at airports surrounding the metro area and is encouraging operators to contact their FBO of choice ahead of time to determine if parking is available.

Re: What makes your blood boil??
Hehe - everyone wants to get off this treadmill but we just have to wait for the momentum to settle :)
Tough topics. It's a changing world with new problems cropping up all the time. I was told about a study that showed a reduction in crime about about 15-20 years after abortion was legalised in Australia. Fewer unwanted children means fewer hurt and damaged people causing more hurt later on. My guess is that judicious abortion laws would result in reduced suffering for the most part.
Another tough topic - assisted suicide. I get angry about the fact that terminally ill people are given no say as to the manner and timing of their death. It would seem a terrible imposition by society to coerce powerless, dying people into enduring extra suffering.
I've also been angry at the way Sydney's live music scene died out, mostly due to poker machines ... could this be a positive development?
Personally, I think the best thing would be to legislate against gaming machines in pubs but even then, I think the horse has bolted. It's a new era, with increasingly more emphasis on narrative and less on music.

For most of us, the idea of cutting concrete with a chainsaw seems totally bizarre. But with the right kind of saw and blade it is entirely possible. ICS is one of a number of companies that make such saws, which differ in several ways from conventional models, the main ones being: they have a special bar, take a diamond embedded abrasive chain, and lubricate the chain with water instead of oil.
On projects where there is a lot of concrete cutting to do it probably makes sense to bring in a beam-mounted wall saw, but where it's hard to get to the area to be cut or where there is not a lot of cutting to do a concrete chainsaw may be the way to go.
The video below was shot at JLC LIVE in Portland Oregon. I thought it was odd that ICS would travel to a show that caters to tradesmen and general contractors instead of concrete contractors. But as it turns out they did not have to go far because ICS is headquartered in Portland.

"The instructor was involved and really made an effort to respond to the posts in each discussion thread. It was clear that this instructor had had some good, hands on HIT experience." Julie T ~ Director, Dakota Nursing Program "My experience with the LRSC Health IT program has been wonderful. I work full time and am the mother of 3 boys ages 7-15. My full time position is as a HIT consultant, so the information I am receiving from the program is invaluable to me in my job. It is easy to log on for my classes when it is convenient for me and my family. The instructors are very helpful and provide great examples and discussion topics to enable me to get the most out of the coursework. I look forward each week to the new information and discussions with my fellow students and the instructors. The Health IT program at Lake Region State College is a great opportunity for anyone interested in this up and coming field." Liz L ~ RN, BAN, REACH Consultant "The HIT Program at Lake Region State College has been an excellent experience. The discussions are great because we are sharing our experiences with EMR software whether good or bad. Even though we are using different software, it is good to see that we are not the only facility that has problems with the software, hardware or vendor. We offer each other positive advice and suggestions that may help. It doesn't matter what stage of EMR you are in, this is a positive experience and would recommend it to anyone who may be involved with the EMR process, discussions, or the back end of receiving items." Sahlenia B ~ Chief Financial Officer "Instructor was very good at keeping us posted and updated. I enjoyed his feedback in the discussions. I enjoyed this class very much. It pertains to my everyday life as I work in a clinic setting. This class was very beneficial and interesting." Rachael S ~ CCS-P, HIM Supervisor "I am very glad that I have been taking these courses. It was good to get a glimpse of what we can expect when we all go electronic with EHRs and EMRs. The instructors have given us scenarios that I would not have had exposure to had it not been for these classes." Amy M ~ LPN "I have been happy with the program thus far. The instructors have been very accommodating with my hectic work schedule! I am learning a lot. This is my first experience with online learning so it is all new to me. I like the flexibility the online learning has given me." Nancy P ~ RN, BSN/ Clinical Informatics "I think the Health IT course has been beneficial. It has greatly helped me see the whole picture of Health IT and what is needed for me to go forward in the Information Technology of Healthcare. I have attended training at my place of employment and it has been basic, this course has helped me understand the prior training I have received. I have worked in Healthcare for a number of years and transitioning to the EMR system has been trying at times and this course has really helped me understand why a certain thing has to be done a totally different way than what I had been doing in the past. I would recommend this course to anyone who is or will be transitioning to an EMR." Corrine A ~ IT System Support Tech "I have enjoyed the tremendous amount of information available regarding the HIT field. I also enjoy the convenience of the online courses of being able to complete them when it works best for me." Sherli W
